Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 225
When Luo Youdu heard what Song Qi said, he regained his energy instantly, and said, "How is Song Xiong's character? I mean his choice between Khitan and Central Plains."

Song Qi replied without hesitation: "Naturally, it is towards the Central Plains. The current subordinates of Youyun Land dare not say it, but in the era where the subordinates lived, the resentment towards the Khitan people was engraved in their bones. Song Qi Brothers and subordinates are many years old, but they have also reached the age of the governor, so it is impossible not to hate the Khitan people."

Khitan going south is their national policy, it's not as simple as Shi Jingtang dedicating the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and owning sixteen prefectures.

Ever since Khitan Yelu Abaoji unified the ministries and established the Khitan Kingdom, they set their goal as the land of Youyan, but they were defeated in the two large-scale southward expeditions.

The same is true of his son Yelu Deguang, who is sure to win the land of Youyan, and has repeatedly sent troops south to harass him.

The Khitan soldiers prepared their own food and fodder when they went out to war, and the logistics personnel accompanying the army were allowed to plunder supplies everywhere during the war.

Therefore, wherever their army went, they caused great damage to the place.

Before Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun sixteen prefectures, the people of Yanyun were harassed and harassed, and they had a bitter hatred for Khitan.

It wasn't until Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun sixteen prefectures that Yelu Deguang began to implement benevolent government in Yanyun. He also promoted imperial examinations, persuaded farmers to mulberry, and taught textiles, and achieved certain results.

But how can this bloody hatred be easily eliminated?

This is especially true for the common people who experienced the Khitan invasion.

Only the Han family and the Kang family with vested interests who tied their family interests to Khitan early on could ignore this bloody hatred.

Song Qi smiled wryly and said, "Brother Song didn't understand when my subordinate took the Khitan imperial examination, and even cut off the robe with my subordinate. Since then, there has been no communication."

Luo Youdu nodded slightly, Song Qi also told him about this.

A penny beats a hero.

Song Qi's parents passed away one after another. In order to take care of their funeral affairs, he used up all his savings.

Song Qi resolutely took part in the imperial examination, and easily won the number one scholar, and thus obtained an official position.

In the beginning, Song Qi served as the attendant of Shouan Wang Yelujing's palace, that is, the attendant of the current Khitan emperor. It can be said that she has a bright future.

But he was alone and unwilling to live in Khitan, so he went to Youzhou Jiedu Envoy Zhao Yanshou to work in the shogunate, planning to follow Zhao Yanshou's southern expedition army into the Central Plains, and then leave after looking for opportunities.

However, due to the turmoil and chaos in the Central Plains, Song Qi did not dare to run around, and spent a few years with Zhao Yanshou's son Zhao Kuangzan. It was not until Guo Wei established the Great Zhou that the Central Plains stabilized.

Song Qi also left Zhao Kuangzan as she wished, and met Kou Xiang in Kaifeng.

Luo Youdu said: "I just don't know that he hasn't changed after more than ten years."

Song Qi was also not sure, and a smart person like him would not easily guarantee someone, saying: "If it was ten years ago, my subordinates dared to say it was trustworthy. But now, it's hard for my subordinates to say so."

Luo Youdu said: "Then give him a try, the officials are determined to recover the lost ground. If you can get Song Xiong's secret help, you will get twice the result with half the effort. You write a letter and invite him to go south to the Central Plains, and see his reaction first."

Song Qi didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "This subordinate will start writing."

Luo Youdu asked someone to fetch a pen and paper.

Song Qi sorted out her thoughts, handed the letter to Luo Youdu, and asked, "Sir, see if it needs to be revised?"

Luo Youdu took it and looked at it carefully, Song Qi understood his intention, smiled with satisfaction and said: "If this is done, I will credit you for it."

Song Qi hurriedly bowed and said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Xianggong!"

Luo Youdu can draw big cakes, but the big cakes he draws are not unfulfilled.

After accepting the letter, Luo Youdu planned to hand it over to Tang Fuyao tomorrow, and ask him to arrange for someone to send the letter to Youzhou.

Humming a ditty, Luo Youdu came to the inner hall.

Passing by the servant girl and met Luo Youdu, she snickered happily, her face beaming with joy.

Luo Youdu was a little confused, didn't think too much, and continued humming a ditty to the bedroom.

Fu Qing'er was sitting at the table with a silly smile, when she saw Luo Youdu enter the room with high spirits, she put away her smiling face and said, "What happy things happened again?"

Luo Youdu said: "Seeing Madam, I feel better instantly."

Fu Qing'er was already used to her husband's love words, and said: "Slick talker, why don't you discuss something with Mr. Lang?"

Luo Youdu stepped forward and put his arms around Fu Qing'er's small waist and said: "Speak!"

Fu Qing'er laughed "hee hee": "Choose an auspicious day and let Zhou's younger sister come in."

Luo Youdu was slightly moved, and said solemnly: "What's the rush?"

Fu Qing'er said meaningfully: "I'm not in a hurry, it's just..."

Luo Youdu's thoughts turned, and he thought of the tittering of the maids, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated: they are newly married, and they are very affectionate.Although it is not necessary to have spring nights every night, it is also necessary to indulge in one or two while young.

Naturally, there is no such thing as condoms in ancient times, they are all played with real guns and live ammunition, and it has been more than half a year in a flash, and it is indeed time to conceive.

Opening his mouth, Luo Youdu swallowed his saliva, and said pleasantly: "Could it be that Madam has it? Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Fu Qing'er smiled sweetly: "I wasn't sure before, but it's been almost two months, and the menstrual period has not yet come. Today, I asked a doctor to take the pulse and confirm it."

Luo Youdu rubbed his hands in bewilderment. Later generations have been busy with work. Even though they are at the age of four, they have not yet married and had children.

This kind of surprise is the first time in my life.

"Great, great!"

Fu Qing'er saw that her husband, who was in Zhizhu's arms, looked so stupid, she was even more happy in her heart, and said: "The doctor said that before the child is born, you can't ride a horse or have intercourse, so as not to affect the child."

Luo Youdu hurriedly supported Fu Qing'er to sit down, and said: "It should be, it should be."

Carefully stroking Fu Qing'er's stomach, he said: "This is the blood inheritance of you and my husband and wife, so we must take good care of it. By the way, I have to buy some chickens, and I have to ask the midwife to stay at home. Ask what needs to be paid attention to. What can be eaten and what cannot be eaten!"

Fu Qing'er said coquettishly: "Okay, my concubine is not so expensive. It's just that I can't accompany Mr. Lang to the manor..."

Her tone was a little disappointed, the two of them have never been apart for a single day in the past six months of marriage.

Luo Youdu's Privy Council and the Imperial Camp Division ran on both sides, and it took fifteen days to separate. How can this be endured?
As a big wife, Fu Qing'er suppressed the reluctance in her heart, and talked about the business: "It's better to bring the younger sister of the Zhou family into the house, so that I can serve the Lord on behalf of the concubine, so that the concubine can feel at ease."

Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "Forget it, for the next period of time, I have important things to plan for my husband. I don't want to be distracted by other things, Na Zhou's wife should take it easy."

There are priorities, and Luo Youdu knows that the most important thing right now is to lay out the overall situation of the Northern Expedition.

In front of this matter, everything else can be put aside.
