Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 35 Seeing Li Chongjin
Luo Youdu left the palace, glanced in the direction of the council hall, and said to himself, "You really can't underestimate anyone."

From the very beginning he had the feeling that everything was going too well.

Since going to the household department to investigate the household registration, all his goals have been easily achieved.

Almost everything he encountered had someone's vague cooperation, even the top leader of the Kaifeng Mansion gave way to him, and found a reason to go to Luoyang.

To this day, Shi Shouxin took the trap as promised, and Luo Youdu just reacted.

His own plan to revitalize Kaifeng Mansion has become a means for several prime ministers in the meeting hall to suppress military affairs with words.

Luo Youdu always felt that Fan Zhi and Wang Pu had extraordinary administrative abilities and were not good at infighting, which is why they were so miserable for the generals.

Now it seems that I underestimated those big shots who lived in the temple.

As a scholar, how could he not be a fool?

Infighting?

That is the ability of civil servants to eat, so how could they not be good at it?
It's just that the court's emphasis on martial arts and deprecation on literature is the general trend. Faced with this general trend, the old slickers wisely chose to stop their flags and drums, shrinking like a turtle shell, showing their weakness to the enemy.

The weaker the civil servant is, the more arrogant the military officer is, the more he cannot be tolerated by a hero like Guo Rong.

Thereby contributing to the occurrence of the situation of using text to control military force as soon as possible.

Sure enough, Guo Rong accelerated the progress of using civil to control military, and began to improve the status of civil officials in the temple.

I haven't done anything yet, I'm afraid that every old fox is unwilling to be this early bird.

What happened to Wang Jixun just happened, and I was involved in it, so I pushed the boat along the way and pushed myself to the front line, becoming a pawn to break the game.

This was regarded as a spear, and became a pawn in the hands of the two prime ministers, Fan Zhi and Wang Pu. Luo Youdu didn't have much rejection, and he was very open.

You can use others, and of course others can use you.

Whether it is modern or ancient, no one can avoid becoming a pawn in the hands of others.The key lies in whether you are an abandoned child, or a master with sufficient value and benefits.

As for chess players, they have to have a certain status.

You can't even be a good chess piece, so why play chess?

"join the army!"

Zhang Jin walked up to meet him quickly.

Luo Youdu nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work!"

He clearly noticed that after Wang Jixun's incident, Zhang Jin had a feeling of admiration for himself, fully agreed with himself, and offered to act as a guard to avoid being persecuted by Wang Jixun's relatives and friends.

Luo Youdu naturally attached more importance to him.

"In no hurry to return to Kaifeng Mansion, let's go to Li Xiangxiang's house."

Ambassador Li is naturally Li Chongjin.

Li Chongjin holds the title of prime minister as a general, but in fact he cannot exercise the power of prime minister, it is only a symbol of status.

Li Chongjin promised yesterday that he would help Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun, Zhao Kuangyin and the others to plead for Wang Jixun, but today in the temple, seeing Shi Shouxin preempting others and taking the lead, he naturally stopped talking and went back to the mansion to read quietly in the study. write a book.

The older you get, the more you can appreciate the benefits of reading.

When Li Chongjin was young, like many generals in this world, he was young and frivolous, and he only thought that the scholars in the world were just boasters, not worth mentioning.He spends all his time studying bow and horse, and then learns the skills of leading troops from his uncle Guo Wei.

But as his status got higher and higher, Li Chongjin gradually found that his knowledge was not enough to support his current status, so he began to pick up books to make up for his shortcomings.

It is also because of picking up the book that Li Chongjin's realm has been sublimated, he has become more calm, and he has learned to hide his strength and bide his time.

Otherwise, since he could compete with Guo Rong for the historical status of the Great Zhou Emperor, how could Guo Rong respect him as No. 1 in the military, and even trust him to be in charge of commanding the soldiers and horses of the palace?
"Minister, there is a man outside the residence who claims to be a Fa Cao and joins the army, Luo Youdu, who is asking to see him."

Li Chongjin put down his book slowly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Invite him to the living room, the old man will wait."

He pondered on the spot for a while, unable to figure out what Luo Youdu came for, Li Chongjin simply gave up thinking about it and walked directly to the living room.

The first impression Luo Youdu gave him was that he was young, too young.

I have heard that this Facao, who is well-known in Kaifeng Mansion, is young and promising when he joins the army, but he never imagined that he is so young.

When Li Chongjin looked at Luo Youdu, Luo Youdu also quietly glanced at Li Chongjin.

Luo Youdu has a deep impression on this military boss.

In later generations, Luo Youdu specially learned about the history of the Chen Qiao Mutiny.

The reason why the Chenqiao mutiny was successful was mainly due to the non-resistance of the generals in Kaifeng City.

On the one hand, it is because Zhao Kuangyin is too popular in the army, and on the other hand, it is also because the orphans and widows of the Chai family can be bullied.

The reason for this was initially a mysterious transfer order. Li Chongjin, commander of Chengde Army Jiedushi, Tongping Zhangshi, and bodyguards, served as Huainan Jiedushi, inspector Taiwei and servant.

Chai Zongxun, a little kid, directly transferred the loyal and loyal Li Chongjin, who held the military power in the imperial city, to Huainan, which caused all the city defenses in Beijing to fall into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin.

If it wasn't for this paper transfer order, Zhao Kuangyin would have no hope of launching a mutiny at all.

Li Chongjin learned that Zhao Kuangyin had rebelled, so he chose to raise troops to recover Zhou Zhou, but at that time the general situation was gone.

Li Chongjin didn't have a good impression of Luo Youdu, and said coldly: "You come here, I think Shi Shouxin and Li Jixun have already lost."

Luo Youdu bowed and said: "Your Majesty made the choice, there is no difference between winning and losing. Your Majesty specifically ordered me to handle this matter with full authority, and allowed me to search Wang Jixun's mansion and behead him in Kaifeng Mansion."

Li Chongjin's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he shouted: "How courageous, are you here to show off your power to me?"

Luo Youdu hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the envoy has misunderstood. I am here for myself, for the envoy, and even for the officials. I know that the envoy thinks that executing Wang Jixun in this way is an insult to him. "

"Isn't it?" Li Chongjin said angrily, "Wang Jixun is wrong in every possible way. He has made great contributions to Da Zhou. On the battlefield, he has repeatedly outnumbered a hundred and is desperate to die. Give him a safe way to die. Is it that difficult?"

Luo Youdu did not answer Li Chongjin's words directly, but said: "Is the ambassador afraid of death?"

"Death, no one is afraid!" Li Chongjin replied without hesitation.

Luo Youdu said: "Yes, no one is afraid of death. But when I interrogated Wang Jixun last night, I asked him why he killed those loyal guards, so that the Prime Minister would know his answer?"

"He said that it was me he wanted to kill. Because I rejected him in public, he felt ashamed. But he didn't dare to cut me for fear of losing his life. He vented his anger on the guards, treating them as a way to kill me. Hacked to death in the same way. Up to now, his biggest regret is not that he hacked his guard to death, but regret that he didn't chop me with a single knife at that time."

"Master, do you think this kind of person is afraid of death, or is he not afraid of death?"

　I drank too much, but I forgot to wish my book lovers a Happy New Year!Make up, make up, Happy New Year's Day!
