Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 218

Zhang house.

Zhang Yongde looked at the "Astronomical Astronomical Calculation" in his hand and said with emotion: "Tao Hongjing, the prime minister of the mountain, is really a strange man unparalleled in the world."

Zhang Yongde's military achievements are outstanding, and he has a very high status in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he doesn't like military affairs, but miscellaneous studies.

He likes everything other than the Four Books and Five Classics, especially the art of stargazing and divination, which he is even more obsessed with, and he firmly believes in it.

Luo Youdu took what he liked and donated the "Astronomical and Astronomical Calculation" obtained from Shu Yuan to Zhang Yongde.

Zhang Yongde got this "Astronomical and Astronomical Calculations", and he couldn't put it down, and he couldn't leave the scroll. He was deeply moved. At the same time, he said to his beloved son Zhang Jingming: "My son is a man, and I should learn from Luo Youdu, learn his way of life, and the way of dealing with the world."

Zhang Jingming said in surprise, "Father doesn't like him very much?"

Zhang Yongde cursed with hatred: "Rotten wood, idiot. If my father doesn't like him, what does it have to do with letting you learn from him? If you ask you to learn from him, just learn from him. Why talk so much nonsense."

Zhang Yongde was indignant and cursed.

Regarding Luo Youdu, Zhang Yongde's personal attitude is somewhat complicated.

The key point is not Luo Youdu, but Li Chongjin.

Some people are born to be enemies, and their horoscopes are not compatible.

This is the case with Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde.

Zhang Yongde is the son-in-law of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, and Li Chongjin is Guo Wei's nephew.

After Guo Wei ascended the throne, his nephew Li Chongjin was known to the Inner Palace, and his son-in-law Zhang Yongde was known to the Inner Palace's fourth squad, and they were arranged to join the Forbidden Army for training.

From this moment, Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde began their life of loving and killing each other.

Both of them are not very old, they are both in the upper ranks by virtue of their relatives, and they both have certain talents.

Guo Wei focuses on cultivating them as a force to cultivate trust for himself, and has high hopes for them.

Both of them wanted to compete for favor, and both refused to accept each other, and both wanted to step on each other's head.

But Li Chongjin is just a little bit higher than Zhang Yongde.

This has been the case from Guo Wei's Guangshun Dynasty to the present Xiande Dynasty.

Zhang Yongde was oppressed by Li Chongjin for almost his whole life, and he was about to be dazed.

After the Battle of Gaoping, Guo Rong beheaded 71 generals in one go, and Zhang Yongde saw that this ambitious emperor wanted to train a new team and consolidate his position.

And that battle was Zhao Kuangyin's battle of fame, the key to turning defeat into victory.

Zhang Yongde thought of Zhao Kuangyin, who was invincible, and moved his mind to promote a successor to assist him.

This plan has been going smoothly, and Zhao Kuangyin's ability is more powerful than he imagined.

Who knew that Luo Youdu appeared on the way and stole Zhao Kuangyin's limelight in one fell swoop.

But this Luo Youdu caught Li Chongjin's fancy again.

Under the disgust of the house and the black, Zhang Yongde naturally has no good face towards Luo Youdu.

Who knows that Luo Youdu doesn't care at all.

Logically speaking, Luo Youdu is now the chief of the Imperial Army Division, and his status may not be as high as his own, but he is also one of the Big Three.

There is no need to look at your own face at all.

But Luo Youdu didn't care about his attitude, he would greet him friendly everywhere he met, and he would always think of himself during festivals, or when he had something good.

After coming and going, Zhang Yongde was embarrassed.

But he is stubborn, even if he loses, he can't bow his head to the person Li Chongjin is optimistic about.

Even if he approves Luo Youdu in his heart, he never agrees with his mouth and face.

Zhang Jingming made fun of himself, muttered "Old boy!" and ran away with his head shrunk.

Zhang Yongde shouted angrily: "Come back, brat, come back to me!"

Privy Council.

Luo Youdu put his hands on his cheeks, thinking about how to solve Zhang Yongde's difficult problem.

Zhao Kuangyin's foundation is in the front of the palace, and Zhang Yongde's inspection in front of the palace is a hurdle that Zhao Kuangyin has to cross.

As long as Zhang Yongde is kept steady, Zhao Kuangyin will not be able to get up.

When he discovered that Zhao Kuangyin had extended his tentacles to Lin Renzhao, Luo Youdu really chose to start from the source.

No matter how deep your Zhao family's foundation is, no matter how good your Zhao Kuangyin's connections are.

As long as the third division does not change personnel, Zhao Kuangyin has no prerequisites for his rise.

It's just that Zhang Yongde is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Luo Youdu didn't think of a good solution for a while.

"Is there something on your mind?"

Zhao Pu, who was assisting Luo Youdu to handle the affairs, saw that his superior was frowning, and asked a thoughtful question.

Luo Youdu said: "Your Majesty asked me to ease the rift between Lieutenant Li and Zhang Dianshuai, so as not to cause conflicts in the future confrontation with Khitan, and thus be taken advantage of by the enemy. This Lieutenant Li said that he has a good relationship with me. But Zhang Dianshuai has always been Lukewarm, very stubborn, has been refusing to have in-depth contact with me."

The reasoning is well-founded, but the real purpose is to suppress the momentum of Zhao Kuangyin's rise.

But even if it was Zhao Pu, Luo Youdu didn't intend to let him know his true attitude towards the Zhao family.

Zhao Pu rolled his eyes and said, "Then there is nothing my subordinate can do about this matter. This commander is notoriously stubborn. Unless Xianggong has a great favor with him, otherwise he will not accept Xianggong's kindness."

Luo Youdu took a look at Zhao Pu, this guy's eyes are really vicious.

Just like that, he saw the key point, Guo Rong used the three divisions to check and balance each other, and asked the sophisticated Luo Youdu to neutralize the conflict between the two.

Zhang Yongde's acceptance of Luo Youdu is equivalent to acceptance of "adjustment".

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "You are busy with your work, I will do this kind of thing!"

"Big grace?"

Luo Youdu suddenly thought of an allusion, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiande four years, the sixth day of June.

Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng.

Daxiangguo Temple was first built in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was originally named Jianguo Temple.

Located in the center of Kaifeng.

Guo Rong rectified Buddhism and Taoism for the sake of Da Zhou's economy. Compared with the Sanwu extermination of Buddhism, Guo Rong's methods were much softer.

He did not act recklessly, but gently abolished [-] Buddhist temples and returned [-] lay monks.

However, the Daxiangguo Temple was not affected. On the contrary, because most of the temples were abolished, the incense became more vigorous.

There is an endless stream of pilgrims who come to offer incense every day.

However, Aunt Zou, the incense and candle vendor outside the Daxiangguo Temple, was a little flustered these days.

Her family has been in the incense candle business for several generations, and they set up a stall under the big willow tree outside the gate of Daxiangguo Temple, selling incense candles exclusively, and earning a lot of money every day.

But since a heavy rain three days ago, her stall has been getting more and more out of order.

Just under the willow tree, it seems like something is growing out.

At the beginning it was a round head, which Aunt Zou didn't care about, but gradually it broke through the ground by itself, revealing half of its body, it turned out to be a statue of an earth god.

Aunt Zou exclaimed and told her situation to the people around her.

Daxiangguo Temple was already crowded with people, which caused quite a stir.

A land god broke ground in front of the temple, which is too topical.

Many good people came to comment on this matter, to see this miracle.

Superstitious people thought it was the arrival of the land god, and they had already started worshiping.

A real insightful statement gets the point across.

Such as Ludoson.

Lu Duoxun was a Jinshi during the reign of Xiande, and he was a lack of civil servants in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But all high school Jinshi must be reused by the court.

Lu Duoxun was directly appointed Secretary Lang and Jixian School Manager, and now he has been promoted to Zuo Suyi and Jixian Palace Xiuzhuan.

Lu Duosun heard his wife talking about this at home last night, and immediately laughed and said: "This is a trick!"

He has extensive knowledge of classics and history, is clever and memorized, and has read similar things in ancient books.

Soybeans have great germination power, so bury the soybeans in the ground and water them.

The power of soybean germination will push up the soil and rocks above, making it break through the ground.

This is an opportunity!
Lu Duoxun suddenly realized, isn't this a chance for God to make a name for himself?

He is conceited and talented, and he is not willing to be in Zuo Shiyi's seat. Some time ago Kou Xiang became famous in Kaifeng, he was extremely envious, and only hated himself for not having the chance to become famous.

Now, here's your chance.

Looking at the ignorant people around and the crowd, Lu Duoxun straightened his clothes and said loudly: "Don't be fooled, this is just a trick to show off your cleverness."

Seeing the eyes of hundreds of people around him falling on him, Lu Duoxun said in high spirits: "Let me pick up Lu Duoxun, Xiande was a Jinshi in his early years, and today I will expose this trick."

He stepped forward and directly pulled the land god out of the ground, saying: "Three days ago, it rained. Someone must have secretly dug a hole here three days ago and sprinkled soybeans in it. Bury this land god in the soil. After the heavy rain, the rainwater seeped into the soil, causing soybeans to germinate, and pushed the land god out."

"It's just a means of grandstanding. If you don't believe me, you can dig down along this hole, and you will definitely see soybean sprouts."

Ludoson confidently pointed to the pothole on the ground.

When he was talking, the statue of the land god in his other hand was pointing at the crowd, and he saw the words under the statue with sharp eyes, and exclaimed: "There are words, there are words under the statue of the land god."

Lu Duosun turned the statue upside down curiously, glanced at it casually, his face turned pale in an instant, and his mind became dizzy for a while.

I saw five large characters written under the statue of the land god, "Check to be the Son of Heaven".

"I I I..."

Lu Duoxun's mind went blank, and he couldn't utter a word. He threw the statue of the land god like a hot potato.

Word of the matter soon spread.

"Check to be the emperor."

The short five words are too shocking, and in just a few days, almost everyone knows them.

Luo Zhai also mentioned this matter.

The gossip soul of Fengzhu girl was ignited.

At the dinner table, Feng Zhu said solemnly: "I don't think this matter has anything to do with Zhang Dianshuai."

Luo Youdu said casually: "How can you see that?"

Fengzhu said: "Does Zhang Dianshuai think his life is long? Dare to do this?"

She glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "I heard a saying that Zhao Kuangyin did this."

Luo Youdu asked in surprise, "How do you say that?"

Fengzhu said: "Whoever benefits, that is who! Isn't Zhao Kuangyin under this palace commander, what do you think?"

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "To put it roughly, there is a little truth in it."

"Master!"

A servant girl walked in quickly and reported: "Someone from outside, call for the gentleman to enter the palace immediately."

Luo Youdu didn't care about eating, he greeted Fu Qing'er and left in a hurry.
