Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 217
Luo Youdu lightly ignited the torch and burned Lin Renzhao's letter.

Thinking about the contents of Lin Renzhao's letter, Luo Youdu took the paper ashes that had been burnt dry and cracked into five parts, and rubbed them gently in his hand. Zhao Kuangyin stretched his hand so long that it came to his side.

Jiao Jixun didn't reveal his true intentions, so Lin Renzhao blocked him back.

Lin Renzhao was not sure who Jiao Jixun introduced to him.

But Jiao Jixun admired Zhao Kuangyin very much, often said good things about him, and said many times that he would introduce them to each other.

Lin Renzhao clearly sensed that Jiao Jixun was subtly trying to influence him.

Therefore, it is speculated in the letter that the person Jiao Jixun introduced to him was either his own relatives or Zhao Kuangyin's relatives.

For Lin Renzhao's judgment, Luo Youdu still agrees. After all, Zhao Kuangyin does have a younger sister, who was married to Gao Huaide in history, but now he has not married the one who made him mess up.

In addition to the most eye-catching third division of the Great Zhou military, the most conspicuous thing is the expansion and development of the Great Zhou Navy.

It was an army located outside the Third Division.

Since his best buddy Jiao Jixun has become the commander of the navy, with Zhao Kuangyin's ambition, there is no reason not to develop his tentacles there.

From Zhao Kuangyin's point of view, it is not surprising that he chose Lin Renzhao.

This historical Song Dynasty Taizu may not have the intention of challenging Guo Rong, but he is definitely not reconciled to being under the three of them, and silently develops his own strength.

but……

Luo Youdu smiled "hehe", but it's hard to say anything else.

Lin Renzhao is not someone who is motivated by interests.

In history, he was a loyal man who could gamble the lives of his whole family in order to give Nan Tangbo a small chance of survival.

It's a pity that instead of daring to use it, Li Yu listened to the slander and poisoned Lin Renzhao to death.

He had already received Lin Renzhao's good person card, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to spend his thoughts on Lin Renzhao, but it was doomed to be in vain.

Don't think that Jiao Jixun, the commander of the navy, can suppress Lin Renzhao, the commander of the navy.

Although Jiao Jixun was the commander in chief of the navy, Lin Renzhao was in charge of the training of the navy.

He is just a name.

only……

Guo Rong randomly chooses a navy commander who is Zhao Kuangyin's best friend.

Their old Zhao family's connections are really scary.

It was no accident that Zhao Kuangyin was able to wear a yellow robe.

With an opponent like this, one cannot take it lightly.

Luo Youdu thought to himself.

"It seems that Zhang Yongde's strategy must be accelerated!"

Luo Youdu patted the ashes on his hands and narrowed his eyes.

at the same time.

Zhao Kuangyin also got the news that Lin Renzhao's heart belonged, and he shook his head regretfully.

Lin Renzhao had left a deep impression on him, and if he could get his help, it would undoubtedly be even more powerful.

Although Jiao Jixun said in his letter that he was confident in persuading Lin Renzhao, how could verbal friendship compare to in-laws?
Zhao Kuangyin played the "in-law alliance" in a new way. The sons and daughters of the Zhao family were all married to high-level military officials.

Not to mention the background of his Zhao family, just listing each of these relatives is a lot of power.

"Jiro!"

With the help of Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Hongyin found Zhao Kuangyin in the study.

"Father, what are you doing here if you're not resting on the bed?"

Zhao Kuangyin called out and stepped forward to help.

Zhao Hongyin felt unwell half a month ago. He saw many doctors, and even Guo Rong sent an imperial doctor to treat him, but he didn't feel better.

The Zhao family has already secretly prepared for the funeral.

Zhao Hongyin ignored Zhao Kuangyin's words, but said: "When do you have to think about it. What kind of temperament is the official? You have been with him for so long, don't you know?"

"Don't look at him handling government affairs wholeheartedly, leaving general affairs to Wei Renpu and Luo Youdu, at most one year, he will not be able to bear it anymore, and send troops to make meritorious deeds."

"Mr. Miao said, it's best to get a seat checked by the capital before the next expedition. In this way, you can hope to become the commander in chief of the army alone. Our Zhao family can also gain a firm foothold in the court, maybe we can be like Fu Yanqing Same, finally be sealed king."

The Mr. Miao that Zhao Hongyin said was called Miao Xun, whose name is Guangyi. He studied under the ancestor Chen Tuan.

I met Zhao Kuangyin when he was walking in the rivers and lakes, and now he is Zhao Kuangyin's judge and his chief counselor.

Zhao Kuangyin looked a little embarrassed.

His current situation is very embarrassing, he can't get up and down.

In terms of status, after the Battle of Huainan, he had already been promoted to the No. [-] figure in the Great Zhou Army, tied with the veteran Xiang Xun.

But his biggest problem lies in nothing else, that he is the fourth child.

The Dazhou military is now the only one with the three chiefs of the third division, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, and Luo Youdu, and then there are the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh...all the way down.

There is not much difference between the fourth child and the eighteenth child.

But there is a gap between the fourth child and the third child.

If you don't enter the top three, there is almost no difference between the old and the old, except that the salary is more.

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to go further, but had to replace his boss Zhang Yongde.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyin, Zhao Kuangyi, and Miao Xun agreed that it was time to squeeze out Zhang Yongde.

Without squeezing out Zhang Yongde, it would be impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to take full control of the Dianqian Division and become the Grand Commander of the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin's heart is very complicated about this, Zhang Yongde treats him very well, and always trains him as his successor.

When he married the third queen of Zhangde Jun Jiedu Wang Rao, Zhang Yongde gave thousands of gold, silk and silver to support him.

It is not an exaggeration for Zhang Yongde to call it as heavy as a mountain.

Now that he wanted to attack him, Zhao Kuangyin inevitably hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

"Brother!"

Zhao Kuangyi said: "It's not that you want to deal with Zhang Dianshuai, but the officials want to deal with Zhang Dianshuai. Isn't the official's promotion of elder brother just to let you replace Zhang Dianshuai? Zhang Dianshuai is the son-in-law of Emperor Taizu, and he is also the son-in-law of Emperor Taizu. Minister, how can the officials not be afraid?"

"Sharing concerns for officials is a great righteousness, while private feelings are a small righteousness."

"Abandoning great righteousness and preserving small righteousness, how stupid!"

There is no one but Zhao Kuangyi who speaks of ungratefulness so freshly and refinedly.

Zhao Kuangyin said in a deep voice: "This is not a matter of righteousness and small righteousness. Some people are worried that once they make a move, they will not be able to turn back. Zhang Dianshuai's strength should not be underestimated. Don't steal the chicken and lose the rice. It will cause discord among the officials in front of the palace and the hearts of the people." Discrete."

"Officials can tolerate discord among subordinates, but they must not tolerate the corruption of state affairs due to discord."

"Father, Saburo, it's not because I'm acting out of emotion, but because I dare not act hastily."

Zhao Hongyin sighed and said: "Erlang's concerns are justified, and this matter should not be taken lightly. If the officials are dissatisfied, it will be bad. It's a pity, as a father, I don't know if I can last until I see you become the third division." A day in the life of an officer."

Zhao Kuangyin resolutely said: "Father, don't worry, my child will not lose to Ambassador Li and Zhang Dianshuai, and he will definitely not be inferior to them in the future. The king of Wei is the child's goal."

Zhao Kuangyi said at this time: "Actually, brother, there is no need to fight openly with Zhang Dianshuai, just strike secretly."
