Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 691 Returning to the Palace
Bianjing Kaifeng City North New Suburb.

Looking at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar scene around, Luo Youdu smiled and said to Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Lu Duoxun, Han Wei and others beside him, "This is thanks to my son."

The northern outskirts of the city were originally the manors of the gentry. They had their own houses in the city and their own courtyards outside the city.

Or live for a few days when you are resting, or use it as a summer escape.

The population of Bianjing has long been saturated, and the land in the city is very expensive. Many Beijing officials can't afford houses in the city at all, and they are all renting houses.

If Luo Youdu hadn't revealed his intention to move the capital early, the land price in Bianjing would have taken off even more and could not be suppressed.

Even so, before the real decision to move the capital, the land price in Kaifeng, Bianjing will only rise, not fall.

Luo Youdu has long wanted to expand Kaifeng, but many things have to be done step by step, and he can't do whatever he thinks of like Yang Guang.Today, the expansion of the East will offend the Guanlong Group; tomorrow, it will be swollen and fat, and it will spend a lot of money to attract neighboring countries to come to China for tribute and trade. It also orders businessmen to wear gorgeous clothes, and does not charge a penny for the hospitality of foreign businessmen. It is offended. The gentry and merchants; the construction of the canal the day after tomorrow has suffered the people in the south of the Central Plains; the day after tomorrow, the conquest of Goguryeo will bring the whole people of Hebei and Shandong into a mess.

To put it bluntly, the Sui Dynasty is immortal, and the laws of heaven cannot tolerate it.

This reform has undoubtedly offended a group of people. It has to be carried out step by step and implemented immediately. No matter how good the government order is, it will be affected by the environment.

They either wrote a letter, or found someone to discuss the matter in various ways, intending to influence and delay the occurrence of this matter in various ways, and even many "scholar people" went to Kaifeng Mansion to protest.

Many heroic deeds emerged in this Northern Expedition, such as Dang Jin, Zhang Qiong called the battle with a hundred cavalry, Gao Huaide single-handedly killed the general, Pan Meili defeated Yingzhou, Cao Bin and Yeluxiu fought two tigers, and the [-]-year-old Lu Jiang defeated the Japanese kingdom Sailors, wait, wait...

After all, when Luo Youdu ascended the throne, the world was not yet unified, and the economy of conquest was very tight.

"Ah?" Luo Youdu said unexpectedly, "When did it happen?"

If Zhou Ehuang is a noble peony, Zhou Xiaomei is like a pure and delicate white lotus.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on his triumphant return!"

Fu Qing'er said: "A year ago, the battle ahead was tense and it wasn't a big deal, so I didn't inform His Majesty."

Only Dou Yi's body is a little stooped, her beard and hair are gray, and she is seriously old.

How many people are not enough to beheaded.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Luo Youdu happily reunited with his long-lost wife and children, and asked about the situation of the prince and princess in detail.

Dou Yi straightened her body as much as she could, bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome Your Majesty's triumphant return!"

This situation would never have happened ten years ago.

Luo Kangrui rode a horse galloping alone in the front, while Chang Side and more than ten guards stood behind him.

Of course, don't expect how fast this kind of horse can be.

These deeds were reported and publicized one by one, and everyone knew it, and Dayu was familiar with it.

Therefore, Luo Youdu was not in a hurry to offend the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Bianjing.

Although Luo Youdu couldn't do such a useless thing as hiding all the birds and bows, he would do something to these wealthy businessmen and gentry, but for the sake of Dayu's development, he would not care about any old feelings.

Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin did not have such thoughts.

He had already made a plan and did not move the city at all. He only classified the northern and southern suburbs as state-owned and civilian-owned, and there was no need to build city walls. This was equivalent to building two more urban areas in the suburbs.

Luo Youdu got on the horse, watched Luo Kangrui get on the horse safely, and asked as he walked, "When did you learn how to ride a horse?"

"Master Dou!"

A year ago, in order to test Chou Chou, he remotely controlled the imperial court and proposed to expand Bianjing.

Provoking the court?

He looked at Chou Chou carefully for a while, and then he looked at Chang Side behind him.

Luo Youdu praised Chang Side with a few words. This Northern Expedition is obviously a great opportunity to make achievements, but Chang Side stayed without complaint and guarded the imperial city of the capital.

Seeing that Luo Youdu looked a little tired, she stepped forward and rubbed his shoulders naturally, and said, "Zhou Situ has already gone."

The Ministry of Rites has already sent news that the king of Qin led a hundred officials to greet him in the north of the city and congratulate him on his triumphant return.

I am on an expedition by myself, ugly and young, only have the right to choose and make decisions, and can't make any decisions.Zhao Pu's main task is to stabilize the court and control the officials.Most of the administrative chores fell on Dou Yi.

Looking at the unfinished new courtyard on the outskirts of the new city, Luo Youdu smiled very happily, even more happily than he had fought a big battle.

"Haha!" Luo Youdu laughed loudly when he heard this, and knew Fu Qing'er's good intentions.

Luo Youdu said with a bit of pampering: "You, I have to make amends to a few gentlemen when I go back..."

Especially those officials who have other courts in the northern and southern urban areas, or groups whose interests have been harmed, opposed the most fiercely.

Of course, the most critical battle of this Northern Expedition was indispensable, breaking Zhao Kuangyi's Wanquan formation.

The wealthy businessmen and gentry in Bianjing City contributed a lot of money and efforts, so naturally Luo Youdu would not harm their interests.

At least he didn't give this privilege. Although Zhou Ehuang was one of the four concubines, he didn't have this right.

The imperial court's economic recovery no longer needs to rely on the support of wealthy businessmen and gentry in Bianjing.

Chou Chou nodded, and then everything was easy to talk about.

The Dayu court obtained the treasury that Wu Yue had worked hard for decades, and various domestic trades were launched one by one.

After walking for a mile, dust was flying in the distance.

Besides, Empress Fu Qing'er is Fu Yanqing's daughter, who originally belonged to the military.

Arriving at Xuande Gate all the way, Luo Youdu looked at the absent-minded generals and said with a smile: "I know that you are eager to return home, so this celebration banquet will be postponed for two days, let's disband and go back to see your parents, wives and children!"

Especially in the case of encountering many obstacles, it is commendable to be able to make a decision in a short period of time, instead of specifically asking for my own opinion, or delaying until I return to the teacher, and directly make up my mind.

Fu Qing'er's status as a queen is paramount, Zhou Ehuang, Zhe Saihua, Mrs. Huarui, Huangfuxiu and others were reluctant to give up, but they resigned knowingly.

Bai Yan is a blood-sweat foal bred by the Fuzhou racecourse, the embryo of the god's treasure.

Although there are many officials to assist, but the lord is not there, and the young lord is young, the pressure he bears as the prime minister is undoubtedly the heaviest.

Luo Youdu called out.

Even if Bianjing Kaifeng's historical status will decline due to the relocation of the capital in the future, the land and water here connects the east, west, north, and south. Relying on the unique geographical conditions, even if the status of Tokyo is removed in the end, it will develop in an orderly manner, but it will not be as it was in history. General deformity.

With the surrender of Wu Yue, the world is unified.

In the evening, Luo Youdu ate with his wife and children.

Luo Kangrui was obviously a little shy, and his body was a little stiff. Although he missed his father's embrace a little bit, he was also the King of Qin, and it was too shameful!
Luo Youdu put down Luo Kangrui and compared it. Before he left, Chou Chou was still on his thigh, and it was almost to his waist in the blink of an eye.

The prime minister headed by Dou Yi cooperated with the Ministry of Industry to successfully demolish the other courtyards in the northern and southern suburbs, plan to build the urban area, and push the new suburbs five miles to the north.

Chou Chou resisted the pressure and chose the plan of immediately expanding Bianjing.

Luo Kangrui said with some pride: "My mother taught me on my seventh birthday." As he spoke, he said aggrievedly: "I wanted to ride the white swallow that my father gave me, but my mother didn't want to ride it." Let. She said whether to ride Xiaoguai or take a sedan chair. There is no other choice, the boy can only ride Xiaoguai."

That's why Lu Duoxun and Han Wei praised "Your Majesty's style", just to avoid accidents, this simple flattery is used by others.

Luo Youdu put aside all his affairs completely, and spent the whole afternoon with Fu Qing'er and Zhou Ehuang's daughter, playing with Zhe Saihua's two sons, as if he wanted to make up for the lost two years.

Before Luo Youdu ascended the throne, Fu Qing'er was in charge of the affairs of the family. Fu Qing'er was in charge of hosting banquets at home, and moving around gifts during the New Year and holidays.

Luo Youdu looked up and looked overjoyed, and then he was shocked that the person who came was the ugly Luo Kangrui who had been away for nearly two years.

Amidst the sound of His Majesty's sage, Luo Youdu and Luo Kangrui also strode towards the harem without stopping.

Luo Kangrui also accepted the greetings from Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Lu Duoxun, Han Wei and others at this time.

Xiaoguai is a draft horse in Sichuan, with a docile temperament and not surprised by changes.Historically, in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan and other women in the palace played polo on this polo ride. They were short and strong, and they ran smoothly and smoothly. People who were not good at riding horses could ride them for a stroll, especially safe.

Luo Youdu didn't care about these things, but he was a little bit eager to return to his heart, and he unknowingly accelerated his forward speed.

After half a mile forward, Dayu officials lined up to meet him.

Fu Qing'er sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know yet!"

In the eyes of old people like Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin, Fu Qing'er is more of a sister-in-law, so she naturally supports Chou Chou.

After Luo Kangrui knew about it, he wanted one too.

Chang Side didn't bother the two father and son to reminisce about the old days, seeing Luo Youdu's gaze at this moment, he just stepped forward to see him.

It is okay to ride on special occasions, even if you fall off the horse, you will not be seriously injured. If it is not a specific occasion, Luo Kangrui's age can't be grasped.

As for the forbidden army staying outside the city, the imperial court had already arranged for food and drink, and the Ministry of Rituals had also prepared songs and dances for them to hold a super-large celebration banquet.

I haven't seen you for two years, and Zhou Xiaomei looks more and more youthful, with a calm expression...

The proposal to expand Bianjing was put forward by Shen Huzi of the Ministry of Industry.

The two sides didn't talk in detail, Luo Kangrui reminded: "Father, Prime Minister Dou, Prime Minister Zhao, and Prime Minister Xue are waiting in front of you. My child received the news from Royal Father and missed him eagerly. He didn't want to wait any longer, so he took the first step. The horse is coming."

Only then did Luo Youdu ask about Miss Zhou, and said, "Why is Miss Zhou in the palace today? She didn't leave the palace at night, so it looks like she stayed directly in the palace?"

Luo Youdu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about it was right, his memory of Chou Chou stayed at the time when he left, when he was only six years old, now he is eight years old.

He knows that making this decision is easy to say, but it is not easy to act.

The political sensitivity between civil and military can be seen at a glance here.

Zhao Pu was still the same, with a simple and honest face and a silly smile.

It is because Kaifeng Mansion is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under Kou Xiang's seat, but Bianjing, as the country is the richest and most advanced place in the world, this is the case.

Amidst the congratulations of the officials, the salute exploded immediately, and Luo Youdu and many generals of the Northern Expedition entered the city together surrounded by the officials.

In the Dayu Daily, there will always be heroic deeds of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in historical reality: it is not only for the people to talk about, but also to promote patriotism.

Xue Juzheng, as the face value of the school of civil servants, still has the same demeanor.

As long as you walk a little further, you will be able to see the precious son you are thinking about.

As soon as this proposal came out, many officials naturally started a game.

What's more, those who are interested have already started to write unofficial history, and Zhao Kuangyi's identity is too topical.Zhao Kuangyi has actually become the No. [-] villain, and his ability has been greatly enhanced to set off the heroic power of Emperor Dayu...

When he got close, Luo Kangrui pulled the rein neatly, stopped the thick Shu horse under his crotch, got off the horse nimbly, bowed and said: "I have seen my father!"

Luo Youdu panicked, in his memory Chou Chou had never ridden a horse alone, so he hurried up with his whip.

Luo Youdu felt sour in his heart.

Luo Youdu got off his horse, looked at his son who was almost a head taller than he remembered, stepped forward and picked him up, turned around on the spot, and said with a smile: "It's so heavy, let's go down again. Father, you can't hug him." Move you!"

At that time, Luo Youdu was going to give Li Jilong a precious horse, which means imperial court horse. This famous general who fought against Khitan and defeated Xixia in history is a rare figure who can challenge Brother Yeluxiu, and he has gradually grown into an adult.

In particular, Luo Kangrui practiced boxing and kicking under the training of Fu Qing'er since he was a child, which has laid a solid foundation for himself in martial arts, and his agility in movements is far superior to ordinary people.

Luo Youdu's attitude towards Chou Chou is clear, but Chou Chou was not established as the prince after all, not the heir apparent of the Yu Dynasty.Don't say it's not the crown prince, even if it is the crown prince, there are not a few abandoned ones in history.

The difference between six and eight years old is not a little bit.

The people in Bianjing City seemed to be crazy. They shouted long live, and shouted the names of heroes and generals from all walks of life.

However, even if this kind of horse is not yet an adult, it has a big temper, and without rigorous training, it is easy to be frightened and out of control.

Lu Duoxun and Han Wei naturally understood Luo Youdu's meaning, and they all praised Chou Chou for being young and courageous, and his Majesty's style.

As the queen, Fu Qing'er had already led Zhou Ehuang, Zhe Saihua, Mrs. Huarui, Huangfuxiu and a group of children to welcome her. What surprised Luo Youdu was that Zhou Xiaomei was among them.

Luo Youdu was very curious, even if Zhou Xiaomei was Zhou Ehuang's younger sister, according to the etiquette system, she could not enter the palace anytime and anywhere.

Luo Youdu chose Bai Yan to give to his son.

As for Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin, they went a step further, bluntly saying that ugliness has the tools of a wise lord.

Luo Youdu nodded slightly. Zhou Zong was already eighty when he went north with him, and he only had the title of Situ and didn't do anything at all.

"I remember that when he went to the expedition, he was almost ninety, which is considered a long life."

Fu Qing'er said: "Zhou Situ left suddenly, and there was no male at home. The younger sister stayed at home alone to keep her filial piety. She passed out from crying several times and gradually lost weight. The concubine Zhou felt sorry for the younger sister, and asked my concubine to allow her to enter the palace to take care of her. Concubine Zhou There is only Miss Zhou left in the city, and the concubine really feels sorry for her, so she agreed."

　Tomorrow, I will go back to my hometown Jiangxi for the New Year. I am not sure if I can update it, so I would like to say sorry.It takes thirteen hours to drive without traffic jams.If there is no traffic jam, it should be able to update.
