Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 44
On the way to the palace, Luo Youdu looked at the eunuch who was walking quickly with his head bowed, and chatted with him: "Where is the servant from?"

The summoned eunuch paused, then said timidly, "I'm from Xia Nanyang."

His tone was a little unconfident, but there was a little pride in his voice.

Luo Youdu raised his voice a few degrees: "What a place! There are outstanding people, and the Prime Minister Zhuge I admire the most is from Nanyang. If I can't go to Zhuge Cottage in this life, it will be a lifetime of regret."

The summoned eunuch said softly: "My family is near Longzhong. When I was young, I often listened to the stories of my father, Prime Minister Zhuge, and admired him very much. When I was ten years old, my father took me to Wollongong to pay homage to the prime minister... I also read What is the name of the stone stele left by the exiled immortal Li Taibai... It's a pity who destroyed it."

Luo Youdu said: "It's "Southern Metropolis", right? Southern Metropolis believes in beauties, and Wu Que crosses Xiguan. Baishui real residence, ten thousand merchants Luoyu. Tall buildings face Zimo, and Jiadi connects green mountains. Haha... I can't remember the next few sentences Yes, but I remember the last sentence, 'Whoever knows the crouching dragon will sing and worry about the temples'."

Summoning the eunuch said excitedly: "It's "Southern Metropolis"."

Then, with nostalgia on his face again, he said in a low voice: "'Nandu believes in beauties, Wuque crosses Xiguan. Baishui real residence, ten thousand merchants Luoyu. Tall buildings face Zimo, Jiadi connects green mountains' really well written! Those Khitans Before the dog came, Nanyang was like this. Judge Luo is very knowledgeable, I have learned this poem before, and I can still write it. It’s just been too long, and I forgot.”

Luo Youdu said softly: "If you are learned, you won't forget the words." After walking a few steps, he said again: "Khitan? You mean the time when Yelu Deguang entered the Central Plains and proclaimed himself emperor nine years ago?"

The summoned eunuch gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Yelu dog thief of Khitan, he was reluctant to pay his army, and let his soldiers and horses go to the grass valley by themselves. One army horse broke into Nanyang and took me captive to Kaifeng. My father and mother are dead... ..."

Luo Youdu said: "Sorry!"

The summoned eunuch was a little apprehensive, and said: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, the little one can't afford it."

Luo Youdu said: "There is nothing you can't afford. Don't be too sad. The official is the Ming Jun. Under his rule, Nanyang must have returned to its original appearance. It may not be more prosperous. As for Khitan, it is a national Revenge is yours and mine. One day, we will lead the Northern Expedition under the leadership of the officials. We will take back our Yanyun Sixteen States, and even Liaodong, and kill them all the way to Shangjing, and let them pay the same amount. cost."

A gleam flashed in the summoned eunuch's eyes, and he said, "There really will be such a day?"

Luo Youdu was silent for a moment, and said: "It's up to people, no matter what, I will keep moving towards this goal."

The two walked all the way to the Yanhe Hall.

Summoned the eunuch and said: "The judge will go there on his own, and the young one will return to the servant Yan."

Luo Youdu waved his hand and walked into the hall.

He had just taken two steps when he heard a call coming from behind him.

"Judge Luo!"

Luo Youdu turned around and looked at the summoned eunuch curiously.

Summoning the eunuch was a little cautious, but bravely said: "The younger one's surname is Fu, and his name is Fu Yu."

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "Fu Yu, what a name! I remember it!" He waved his hand again and walked into the hall.

Fu Yu glanced around, his cautious temperament made him dare not stay longer, but he was surprised in his heart that he didn't talk as much as he did today in the palace for several months, and he didn't feel the slightest discomfort, so he was secretly happy.

After the transmission, Luo Youdu walked into the Hall of Yanhe.

Guo Ronggao, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sat at the head, and a pale-faced scribe in a dark crimson official uniform sat next to him.

This is the first time Luo Youdu has met, but from the look of his expression, he has a very deep relationship with Guo Rong.

"Haha!" Guo Rong stepped down from his seat: "I have finally expected you to come here. Come on, let me introduce you..." He pointed to the scribes who came up and said, "This is Wang Pu, Wang Wenbo, from Dongping. Sir, the admonishing doctor, has followed me for many years, and is my most reliable confidant." Then he pointed to Luo Youdu and said to Wang Pu: "Uncle Wen, this is the Luo Youdu I have told you many times. God has given me a great week. Qilin Zi."

Hearing Guo Rong's introduction, Luo Youdu exclaimed "Sure enough" from the bottom of his heart.

Wang Pu Wang Wenbo, the only military advisor under Guo Rong's command in history.

Before Guo Rong was established as the prince, when he was serving as the Jiedu envoy of the Zhenning Army, Wang Pu became his secretary in charge of Jiedu.

The two monarchs and ministers knew each other so far. For Guo Rong's great cause, Wang Pu wrote "Ping Bian Ce" and set the strategic goal of conquering the world for Da Zhou.

"Ping Bian Ce" is also known as the Five Generations version of Longzhong Dui.

It's a pity that Wang Puying passed away early, and Xiande passed away suddenly in six years.

Based on "Ping Bian Ce", Guo Rong began to attack the world, but unfortunately died early.

After his death, the Zhao family brothers stole the Great Zhou Dynasty and still used Wang Pu's "Ping Bian Ce" as the strategic benchmark for the Song Dynasty's unification of the world.

It is also recorded in the history books that Zhao Kuangyin suddenly saw Guo Rong's portrait of Wang Pu in the palace, stood still, straightened his royal robe, bowed solemnly, and said, "I have no chance to wear the dragon robe while this man is here."

Later generations also praised "Five generations of talents, Wang Pu is the crown."

"The younger generation at the end of the school has met Mr. Wen Bo. Although he has not heard of Mr. Wen Bo's name, His Majesty's insight is like a torch. To be so highly regarded by His Majesty, Mr. must have extraordinary abilities. I only regret that I did not get to know Mr. sooner and listen to his teachings."

Luo Youdu didn't say any polite words, but sought truth from facts.He had always thought that Wang Pu hadn't appeared yet, because the historical records were wrong, but now after hearing Guo Rong's introduction, he realized that Wang Pu had followed Guo Rong for many years.He has never been famous, so it is not a matter of ability, but has been helping Guo Rong to make suggestions behind the scenes.

Luo Youdu now even suspects that Guo Rong was able to obtain the crown prince as an adopted son, and Wang Pu has put a lot of effort behind it.

It is too hypocritical to say that you have admired the great name for a long time, it is better to answer truthfully, and praise Guo Rong and Wang Pu.

Wang Pu smiled back and said, "Luo Youdu's name is as loud as thunder."

Luo Youdu hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

"Haha!" Guo Rong laughed loudly: "The two gentlemen should not humble each other in front of me. Uncle Wen is my left arm, and Youdu is my right arm. You are my left and right arms! I have your help, Why don't you worry about your success. Come on, take your seats quickly, I have invited you here today to discuss something important."

He took the main seat and let Wang Pu and Luo Youdu take their seats respectively.

Luo Youdu quickly walked to the right.

Wang Pu smiled lightly and sat on the chair on the left.

Seeing the two people seated, Guo Rong said: "You should know my ambition. The world has been divided into dozens, and I want to be the leader of this unification, so that my Great Zhou can present the grandeur of the Han and Tang Dynasties. I have discussed with Wen and Wu in private, Whether it is war or respect for the national policy of seeking stability set by the late emperor.

The three ministers all focused on stability, and as for the military officials, naturally no one wanted to fight.Uncle Wen expressed his opinion a few days ago, and today I want to hear your opinion. "

He looked at Luo Youdu with a smile.
