Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 5 The Ladder Down the Steps
Looking at the figure of Luo Youdu escorting Zhao Kuangyi away.

Murderous intent loomed in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, but a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and he didn't make a move.

Luo Youdu escorted Zhao Kuangyi to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Kuangyi wore the shackles and made a loud noise as he walked.

Passers-by saw this and gave way one after another, but curiosity is a common problem of human beings.

Pedestrians didn't dare to watch at close range, but they all pointed at them from far away.

I don't know whether Zhao Kuangyi was afraid of being kicked or losing face, but he walked very fast.

Luo Youdu led the little donkey for a walk in the back, enjoying himself.

He didn't have a good impression of the Zhao family's second child.Now that I have traveled to this point, only God knows what the future will be like, whether the Zhao family brothers can become emperor, and I have no extra worries in my heart, and I don't care that I offended him.

The most urgent thing is to live well. In this troubled world, it is too easy to die as a pawn.

Wasn't his predecessor forced to die by hanging himself?
In fact, from the perspective of Luo Youdu's future generations, his previous life was unfounded.

Who is Guo Rong?
The first emperor of the Five Dynasties reigned for only a few years. Internally, he reorganized the army and eliminated the redundant and weak. He conquered the south and the north, defeated the west, and took over the four prefectures of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Tier; Complete the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei and Huainan; break through the Liao Kingdom in the north, and conquer three passes and three prefectures.Historians praised him as "a master of martial arts and a heroic strategy of a generation".

How can such a hero embarrass a small person between Wei Renpu and Zhao Kuangyin?

But it's no wonder that the predecessors were frightened, and looking at historical figures from the perspective of future generations is tantamount to cheating on hindsight.

Not to mention his predecessor, even in the current Great Zhou Dynasty, there are not many people who can see Guo Rong's true potential.

After all, Guo Rong was too strong and aggressive. Within a few months of his enthronement, he wielded a butcher knife and beheaded more than 70 generals and schools, and more than 30 corrupt officials.

The murderousness shocked both the government and the public.

How did the insignificant little character in my predecessor know that Guo Rong was rewarded and punished clearly, only that he was a murderer.

Therefore, in Luo Youdu's view, his predecessor really committed suicide, most likely in vain.

But even if you don't die, you still have to die half-life.

Catching ducks to the shelves came into the eyes of Wei Renpu and Zhao Kuangyin, and Guo Rong's eyes were bound to fall into his own minor ailments.

The emperor, who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, was not an easy talker.

If you want to cover up these minor problems, you can only show your own value.At the same time, only by gaining a certain status can one survive in this troubled world.

No one understands the chaos of this era better than Luo Youdu. If he wants not to become a bone in the weeds of the broken wall, he can only climb up.

At the end of the street, two roads appeared in front of Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyi, one going straight, leading to Kaifeng Mansion.The other is to turn right and turn into another residential area.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyi walking straight ahead, Luo Youdu stopped him immediately and said, "Wrong way, go right!"

Zhao Kuangyi said with some vigilance: "Didn't you go to Kaifeng Mansion?"

Luo Youdu said: "Just go to Kaifeng Mansion!"

Zhao Kuangyi thought that Luo Youdu didn't know the way, and said, "Go straight here, turn left after two streets and you will be Kaifeng Mansion."

Luo Youdu said: "Turn right, walk three streets, turn left two streets, turn left three streets, it's also Kaifeng Mansion!"

Zhao Kuangyi was only slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "Okay, I will rely on Lord Cha."

Luo Youdu nodded in satisfaction, but secretly sighed in his heart: "This Zhao family's second son Chengfu is really amazing, this poor man called..." After a pause, he thought again: "I don't know if Lao Hu has passed the news to you! "

Wei House.

Wei Renpu walked into the study sullenly. Ever since his grandson-in-law Jiang Jilong had an accident, his first wife, Mrs. Wei, hadn't given him a good look. Recently, he was not even allowed to sleep on the bed, so he could only make do in the study.

As the Privy Envoy of the Great Zhou, Wei Renpu was mainly responsible for the military affairs of the Great Zhou.

The world is in turmoil, and anyone with a little bit of military power is up for grabs.The arrogant soldiers either listened to the instructions and did not listen to the announcement, or took the rebellion as normal, and had no loyalty at all.

In the first battle of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, against the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces, Fan Aineng, He Hui and other veterans were timid before fighting, and fled with their personal guards.The soldiers under their command knelt in front of the enemy army in front of the two armies, shouting long live.

In an instant, Dazhou's army collapsed, and its destruction was imminent.

Fortunately, Guo Rong was calm and calm, and he led his own soldiers to take the arrow and Shi Shi supervised the battle.However, the old guard Zhao Kuangyin was extremely brave and the general Zhang Yongde fought back from the left and right wings, and they turned defeat into victory.

After this battle, Guo Rong deeply felt the weakness of his generals not being able to fight, and Zhao Kuangyin's military talent was the most important part of the reform.

As a privy envoy, Wei Renpu certainly understood the key points.He understands Guo Rong's difficulties, but his beloved granddaughter is young and widowed, who can he turn to for reasoning?

What's more, if you calm things down easily, how can you continue to be a privy envoy?

Wouldn't the arrogance of the generals be even more powerful?
It is a dilemma between public and private, between emotion and reason.

At this moment, a piece of news came to his ears.

"Sir, there is news from outside that Zhao Kuangyi, who accidentally killed Jiang Guanren, has been captured by the Kaifeng Mansion and is being escorted to the Kaifeng Mansion!"

Wei Renpu's heart trembled slightly, and he said, "Is there really such a thing?"

The housekeeper said: "Really, they are all in chains, and it seems that they have to pass by our house."

Wei Renpu was suspicious, and said, "Go, go and have a look!"

As he spoke, he strode out of the mansion.

The news spread very quickly, and his wife and granddaughter all appeared on the street.

Looking at Zhao Kuangyi, who was wearing a heavy shackle, Wei Renpu was also a little surprised. Everyone knows how much Zhao Kuangyin takes care of his younger brother.He was even willing to use all his merits to become a pawn in exchange for Zhao Kuangyi's impunity. Does anyone really have the guts to arrest him and question him?
While he was in doubt, what happened next left him dumbfounded.

The little official who was escorting Zhao Kuangyi kicked Zhao Kuangyi's ass hard.

This kick was fast and hard, and Zhao Kuangyi kicked a piece of shit, fell to the ground, and fell outside their house.

The shackles were heavy, and Zhao Kuangyi, who fell on the ground, couldn't get up for a while, and was extremely embarrassed.

The depression in Wei Renpu's heart eased a lot, his thoughts turned, and he realized everything.

This is a ladder for me to go up and down!

Don't look at Zhao Kuangyi suffering such a serious crime now, if he really arrives in Kaifeng Mansion, the thunder and rain will stop.

Perhaps this is the best result!

Wei Renpu was happy to see his wife and granddaughter, thinking to himself...
