Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 23

Kaifeng Niuhang Street.

There is one of the most luxurious mansions in the whole Kaifeng mansion, which is built next to the palace and across the street from the east gate of the palace.

Looking at the whole of Gyeonggi, apart from this mansion, there is no other private mansion of this scale.

The owner of the mansion is the king of the Zhou Dynasty, the famous Wei Wang Fu Yanqing.

This mansion was originally the old residence of Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.When Guo Wei became emperor, he presented his old house to Fu Yanqing as a show of favor.

Fu Yanqing has been guarding one side all year round, and has lived in the mansion for less than a month for many years.

It usually relies on a few servants to maintain and operate.

That night, a carriage stopped at the Wei Wangfu.

A wealthy old man jumped off the carriage, glanced at Luan Jun beside him with a smile, and strode into the mansion.

The old man is the famous Fu Yanqing.

Fu Yanqing strode into the main hall, and a lady came towards her and asked with some anticipation, "How is it? How about Luo Youdu?"

Fu Yanqing looked at his wife and shook his head helplessly: "It's not bad! I just glanced at it from a distance and didn't speak."

Mrs. Guo Guo complained: "Oh, really. None of you care about Qing'er's future. Qing'er is already 23, and the daughters of my younger sister's daughter who is one year younger than Qing'er are all looking for her husband's family."

The more wealthy and wealthy this is, the more frequent political marriages will be, and the earlier a daughter will marry. There are not a few people who get engaged as soon as they are born, and who marry a daughter at the age of ten...

Fu Yanqing also has the common problem of men's lust, but for this wife who is in trouble, she respects her from the bottom of her heart, and hurriedly said: "Okay, it's not that I don't care about Qing'er. What's coming?"

Madam Guo Guo frowned and said, "Good wine, this is not very good."

Fu Yanqing said: "What do you know, a woman, that is called entertainment. A person who doesn't know how to socialize can't do anything big."

Mrs. Guo Guo's eyes lit up, and she asked: "So, it's just like what the official said. This Luo Youdu is quite extraordinary?"

Fu Yanqing nodded and said, "It's quite extraordinary. At present, it seems that it is indeed worthy of a letter of introduction from this old man."

It turned out that after the night talk with Luo Youdu that day, Guo Rong felt more and more that Luo Youdu was unfathomable.Especially when it comes to the overall situation, the more you think about it, the more reasonable it becomes.

It happened that Queen Fu was a little ill and missed her parents.

In this regard, Guo Rong had a plan. With the implementation of various policies of the imperial court, the talents in his hands became less and less, and he was pondering the next imperial decree, asking all the ministers in the court to recommend one person, allowing him not to avoid the suspicion of relatives.

In order to avoid the random recommendation of officials and officials, Guo Rong thought of a way. On the day of the appointment of officials, the names of the masters were named in each department.

In the control of criminal law, Guo Rong is always unique.

It happened that the Khitan in the northeast was also unstable, and was unable to invade the south in the short term. Guo Rong invited Fu Yanqing's family to secretly enter the capital to reunite Empress Fu with his family. At the same time, he also implied that Fu Yanqing helped recommend Luo Youdu.

Fu Yanqing's prestige in the Great Zhou Army is unparalleled.

If Luo Youdu was a talent recommended by Fu Yanqing, the military would not dare to mess around.

When Guo Rong reminisced about the old days with his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the palace, he mentioned this matter and praised Luo Youdu almost to the sky, as if he regarded him as Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang.

As Fu Yanqing gets older, he values ​​his own reputation more and more. On the surface, he agrees to Guo Rong's request, but he feels unreliable in his heart.

Who are Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang?
Where is it anywhere?
In case it is a nonsense person who makes such a solemn recommendation, the day when his true identity is revealed will be the time when he will be defiled for thousands of years.

He Fu Yanqing will become the laughing stock of the world.

Fu Yanqing had plans to meet Luo Youdu, at least to inspect it in person.

This is what Fu Yanqing meant, but Mrs. Guo Guo, who was on the side, meant another.

A good girl is worried about marrying!

At first, Mrs. Guo Guo felt that because of her daughter's conditions, the family background other than Jiedushi was not worthy of entering the family to propose marriage, and her eyes would float to the sky.

But as the year dragged on, the 23-year-old Fu Qing'er was already a well-known "older leftover woman" in the Daming Mansion, and Mrs. Guo was getting more and more anxious, and her standards were getting lower and lower.

Now, listening to Guo Rong blowing Luo Youdu to the sky, it doesn't matter if he is a seventh-rank petty official.As long as she matches her baby girl in ability, nothing else matters.Anyway, apart from the emperor, Da Zhou couldn't find an existence comparable to the Fu family.

"Then, sir, do you think this Luo Youdu and Qing'er are suitable?"

Madam Guo Guo's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Fu Yanqing said with a serious face: "This is not a trivial matter, we have to understand it in depth. After all, it is related to Qing'er's future!"

Mrs. Guo Guo also felt reasonable, and went to the inner hall with some regrets.

Fu Yanqing stroked his beard and said to the outside: "Come out, your mother is gone!"

A small head with an oval face stuck out from outside the hall. Seeing that Mrs. Guo Guo was really gone, she squeezed into the hall, smiled shyly, and called out, "Daddy!"

"You!" Fu Yanqing shook his head and smiled lovingly.

Fu Qinger said: "My daughter just saw that Uncle Luan was injured? This Bianjing is really hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Uncle Luan is a rare warrior by Daddy's side. Although he is not his strength in foot warfare, he is not comparable to ordinary people. After only one day in Jing, you will be beaten up?"

Fu Yanqing smiled and said, "Just teach me a lesson, so as not to look above the top and underestimate the heroes of the world."

Fu Qinger frowned and said, "Luo Youdu is a literati, how can there be such a powerful person beside him. Didn't the official family say that Luo Youdu's father was persecuted in Jiangnan, and his mother was killed by a Khitan dog, leaving the only one left?"

"Yeah!" Fu Yanqing pointedly said: "This is where the official family looks at Luo Youdu, and it is also the place where it is urgent to reuse him. Our official family is a rare hero, comparable to Tang Taizong. Above the temple, a group of mindless warriors are powerful. If the officials want to change this situation, they need someone to use literature to control the military. He reused Fan Zhi, Li Gu, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu to suppress the generals. , a Zhao Kuangyin made Wei Renpu unable to step down. Hey, just a few of them, and they were appointed as officials in my Daming Mansion, and I cut off their heads with one knife and kicked the ball."

Fu Qing'er rolled her eyes, a little disgusted by her father's vulgarity.

Fu Yanqing continued: "What's wrong with Wufu? Merit is earned in exchange for life, and you know what to do with your mouth. Why do you think stepping on Wufu's head is justified? And this Luo Youdu is an old man, and he will be in Kaifeng in less than a month. It seems that he has no prejudice against the warriors, and he can live with them in a low-profile manner. Only such a person can use literature to control the military! This official is too powerful, and he is too accurate in looking at people. Today's hero, he Number one..."

Fu Yanqing let out a long sigh, but secretly glanced at his daughter again.
