Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 692 A Brand New Temple Situation

After hearing the reason, Luo Youdu stopped talking.

He knew about Miss Zhou's situation. Zhou Zong was originally an orphan, but he was lucky enough to become Li Min's attendant. He made his way up to become the famous Zhou Situ in Jiangnan, where family background was important.

He is keen on official career, and spends half his life in this area, blindly climbing up, until he becomes famous, he doesn't think about the matter of inheriting the family.When Zhou Ehuang was born, she was already sixty, and then she was around seventy with Zhou Xiaomei.The father and daughter have always depended on each other for life, but now that Zhou Zong passed away, Zhou Xiaomei is lonely and helpless, which really makes people feel distressed.

It has been nearly two years since I left, and many things have happened inside and outside the palace.

Fu Qing'er talked about everything in detail as if chatting about family affairs.

The situation in the palace is all trivial matters, so far the harem is still very harmonious.

Zhe Saihua is straightforward, with a bright personality, and gets along very well with Fu Qing'er.

Zhou Ehuang is cold and noble, he doesn't like to fight with others, like a house girl, she usually plays the piano to entertain herself.

Mrs. Huarui has a very high emotional intelligence and is slick in every aspect. She knows that her background is not good, and she dare not ask for anything extravagantly.

On this day, Luo Youdu found Cao Bin, Brother Yeluxiu, and Yelu Xiezhen.

The old pattern is broken, and a new situation is naturally welcomed.

It took three days to make final arrangements with the Privy Council.

It doesn't matter how noisy the court is, the military's rewards and punishments must be in place.

But in fact Luo Youdu didn't do anything, he simply sat on the dragon chair.

Facing the new situation in the temple, Luo Youdu did not take any action, but discussed with the temple officials how to manage Khitan affairs as before he left.

So much so that the whole temple seems to have been cleaned, and it is harmonious.

Song Qi recommended Fu Zhaoyuan at this time, obviously intending to follow the path of a foreign relative, by recommending Fu Zhaoyuan in exchange for the goodwill of Fu Qing'er and Chou Chou, so as to achieve a certain political goal.

Some of them attached to Dou Yi, some attached to Zhao Pu, and some attached to Song Qi. The three forces began to share the remaining strength of the "scholar bureaucrat group".

Fu Qing'er shook her head and said: "Erlang said that he had never had any contact with him before entering Beijing this time. After arriving in Beijing this time, he had a relationship, and Erlang himself did not know why he recommended him. The concubine thought it should be because Chou Chou liked Erlang very much. But After all, Erlang is a man, he didn't stay in the palace for a long time like his mother, but only stayed for less than an hour."

He is not planning to launch a large-scale military campaign in the short term, but as soon as the time comes, he will definitely attack the Western Regions.

On this journey south, he also confirmed with Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, Pan Mei, Cao Bin, and Lin Renzhao the rewards and punishments for the merits of their generals, and most of the work has been completed.

Dali's strength is not strong, but the terrain environment is particularly complicated. It is not harmful to explore the terrain in advance and make sufficient preparations.

But it would be a big mistake to think that there would be no struggle without them.

Yelu Xiezhen said: "Your Majesty, the general is like a frog at the bottom of a well. The prosperity of the capital has fascinated the general. The general has long heard that Bianjing is a paradise on earth, a paradise in the world, but he doesn't want to be so prosperous."

"Guohua, the terrain in the southwest is complex, you should go and familiarize yourself with the situation first."

The core of the scholar-bureaucrat group came from the Wenchen Group in the Later Zhou Dynasty, headed by Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu.During this period, with the support of Guo Rong, they gained certain power.Because the military generals bullied and suppressed them too hard, there are certainly conflicts within the Wenchen Group, but when something happens, they will undoubtedly gather together and become a single rope.

The biggest celebration banquet since the founding of the People's Republic of China was specially held.

The three saluted Luo Youdu together.

The style of writing in Jiangnan and Bashu is at its peak, and their group of civil servants may not have much backbone and prefer pleasure, but they still have abilities.Among them are Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Xu Kai and other Qingliu family members.

He can understand Fu Qing'er's thoughts, the prestige of the Fu family is a double-edged sword, which can hurt the enemy as well as himself.

Listening to Fu Qing'er's narration, Luo Youdu already had a direction in his mind.

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "This Song Xianggong is too underestimating my second brother-in-law, the deputy history of the workshop? He is really petty, no matter whether he is talented or talented, Erlang must be the governor of a state no matter what. How about it, Longyou is in a hurry now. If there is a shortage of officials, let Erlang go to Lanzhou to serve as governor."

The ministers who had lost their backbone began to attach new forces.

Real managers do not suppress such small groups, but use these small groups to benefit the company and control them.

As China's inherent territory, this Qinghai Lake has been occupied by Tubo for many years, and it is time to ask for it back.

Brother Yeluxiu said: "It's amazing, the last general went to the Dayu Library for five full days, from morning to night, and he didn't want to leave."

Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, and Song Qi are all old people beside Luo Youdu.

Under the prime minister, there is a minister, and under the minister, there are also his own cronies. Under the minister, there are ministers, and ministers also have their own people. If they are connected together, they will form an interest group.

It is true that Fu Qing'er cannot bypass the prime minister to punish the temple officials, but it is a unique right to write down the name of the opposite party and blow the pillow at this moment.

After all, it is not easy for Chouchou to make a decision in the face of temple affairs when he is young. It is obviously unrealistic for him to gain insight into the intrigue of a group of wily and scheming people.So much so that they criticized each other, thinking it was a disagreement.

Luo Youdu joked: "It doesn't matter if you lose your eyes, but don't lose your mind. It's not good to lose your legs when you go to the battlefield."

In fact, he doesn't mind that Dou Yi, Zhao Pu and Song Qila form a gang.

After all, the core of the "Scholar-bureaucrat Group" is a group of officials from the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the current imperial court is Dayu.

The Erlang in Fu Qing'er's mouth is Fu Yanqing's second son, Fu Zhaoyuan.

Fu Zhaoyuan is different from his father and brother, since he was a child, he was generous and courteous, and he liked to read.He likes to communicate with literati and scholars, make friends widely, and treat others with courtesy. He doesn't have the style of a general at all, but has a scholarly atmosphere.But Fu Zhaoyuan has been living in Daming Mansion and rarely goes to Beijing.

Fu Qing'er was able to control the scene, but only briefly mentioned it.

This requires a confidant, someone who is easy to use, and it will be taken for granted that someone will be attached.

Luo Youdu listened carefully, and he didn't know who was swimming naked until the tide receded.

Fu Qing'er is well aware of the reason that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and she never interferes in government affairs.

The depravity of an army often begins with not rewarding meritorious deeds, not punishing those who have done wrong, not merciful for death in battle, and unfair rewards and punishments.

In recent years, he has prepared to strengthen Lianglong's strength and make advance deployments.

The arrangement for Brother Yeluxiu was not for the Western Regions, but to take advantage of the turmoil in Tubo to take back the Qinghai Lake that originally belonged to them.

The literati group that influenced the Song court in history no longer exists.

Which is more important, Luo Youdu is still very clear.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Fu Yanqing drove the eldest son Fu Zhaoxin out of the Tianxiong Army, and the second son Fu Zhaoyuan also left the Tianxiong Army on the grounds that he had no talent to lead the army. The Fu family handed over military power step by step.

Luo Youdu shook his head slightly.

On the contrary, the struggle among literati became more and more intense.

Smart people, after receiving the warning, dare not move again.Those who are stubborn and stupid, who insist on not being involved in politics in the harem, ignore them.

Yelu Xiezhen's eyes lit up, and he said impatiently: "The last general will never lose His Majesty's face."

Zhao Kuangyin compromised, but Luo Youdu did not.

Facing Luo Youdu, the new party headed by Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, and Song Qi did not dare to fight each other.

Fu Qing'er had already summoned the other's wife to give a warning through the queen's authority.

Luo Youdu did not immediately take any action on the new situation in the temple, and for three days in a row he devoted his mind to discussing meritorious deeds and rewards.

Luo Youdu is very clear, not to mention that the imperial court manages the world, even if it is a company managed by his later generations, there will be various small groups inside.

It's really not easy for Fu Qing'er to be able to figure it out at this moment.

Luo Youdu said: "You and I, husband and wife, why should you care about this?"

Luo Youdu seated the three of them, skipped over Cao Bin, and said to Brother Yelu Xiu and Yelu Xiezhen, "What is the habit of staying in Beijing?"

But it was too late, Luo Youdu no longer needed them.

A problem that even a small company cannot avoid, let alone the entire Dayu court, a superpower that controls millions of territories?

With his acquiescence, the scholar-bureaucrat group has been destroyed by Zhao Pu, leaving only the remnant soldiers and defeated soldiers.

The same Dali has been since ancient times.

As a high-ranking person, if you don't even have a few people who are easy to use, you don't have many cronies in your hands.This does not mean that he is clean, but rather an expression of incompetence. It can only show that the superior is not qualified and has no one available.

As for Huangfuxiu, her sense of presence was even lower.As the empress of Goryeo, Wang Zhao had a certain political purpose in sending her here back then, and she was not to be favored.With the demise of Goryeo, she was even more unable to make waves.

Fu Qing'er laughed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!"

Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, and Song Qi, as the prime ministers of the Yu Dynasty, cannot do everything by themselves. Even Zhuge Liang, who is virtuous and meticulous, faced the remote Shu Kingdom, and his shogunate still supported Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Dong Yuan. Yun, Yang Yi, and Ma Di helped him deal with trivial matters.

The real key is still around Chouchou. During the two years he was away, Chouchou was in charge of supervising the country, and he inevitably came into contact with some civil and military officials who had other ideas. He wanted to take advantage of Luo Youdu's absence and use the young Supervising the state of King Qin achieved certain goals.

The influence of the Fu family is not small, if Fu Zhaoyuan is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Beijing, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Fu family.

But someone wants to deceive her son while her son is young, that's another matter.

Song Qi is the prime minister of the imperial court. Except for being ordered to expand Youzhou and leave the capital, she has always been in the capital. The life trajectories of the two have little contact.

Luo Youdu wondered, "Are they familiar?"

But thinking about it, Tubo is not very willing to spit out Qinghai Lake, and has to prepare in advance to take over the belated dowry of Princess Wencheng.

Luo Youdu even acquiesced in this situation, secretly promoting this situation.

It wasn't until the destruction of Bashu and Jiangnan, and the surrender of Wu and Yue, that the scholar-bureaucrat group felt something was wrong.

Only in this way can the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army be guaranteed.

Luo Youdu looked at Brother Yeluxiu and said, "As for Xunning, I wanted to keep you by my side, but Hehuang urgently needs a general with both wisdom and courage. After thinking about it, you are the most suitable."

But if Song Qi recommended Fu Zhaoyuan because of the news that Chou Chou liked his second uncle very much, it meant that he might have bought eyeliner in the palace, which was beyond Luo Youdu's tolerance.

Both the Dayu Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were inherited from Guo Rong in the Later Zhou Dynasty. They all encountered the same problems, and both had a group of relatively united literati groups that could not be used without.

This is an extremely important task. When Luo Youdu was in Linhuang Mansion, he was already drawing up the reward and punishment standards, and had an in-depth discussion with Han Wei who was in the Privy Council.

In history, Zhao Kuangyin compromised with this group of scholar-bureaucrats. Although he managed Fan Zhi and Wang Pu and let his own people be the helm of the scholar-bureaucrat group, in order to prevent the incident of adding his own yellow robe to repeat itself, he confiscated military power. On the one hand, he reached an agreement with the literati group and ruled the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.

Fu Qing'er paused, and said: "There is one more thing, Song Xianggong recommended Erlang as the deputy history of the workshop at the beginning of the year."

Luo Youdu can't guarantee that his reward will satisfy everyone, but at least [-]% of the people must be satisfied.

Luo Youdu promoted a group of talents through the imperial examination, and then accepted talents from Jiangnan, Bashu, and Wuyue. He got rid of his dependence on scholar-bureaucrats, and finally dispersed them with Zhao Pu.

Sure enough, in terms of overall work, literati will not let people down.

While clinging to military power, he supported Dou Yi, Song Qi, and Zhao Pulai to divide the scholar-bureaucrat group, and proposed a series of policies that favored civil servants: persuading students, reforming imperial examinations, promoting education, etc., to give the scholar-bureaucrat group a kind of Still maintain the policy of suppressing the military with the text.

Luo Youdu nodded, and said: "Then you go to Liangzhou and become Li Jieshuai's deputy, there will be a chance for you to gallop on the battlefield. It's just that Liangzhou is bitter and cold, not as good as Bianjing."

As the son of Fu Yanqing, Fu Zhaoyuan granted Guo Wei the title of Inspector of Xingzhou at the age of six, leading Tianxiong Yajiang.But as the warlords of the Five Dynasties disappeared one by one, Fu Yanqing also began to retreat bravely.

This time the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, Koryo was captured, Lin Renzhao, Pan Mei, Cao Bin, Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, beheaded soldiers who were too heavy, and even Jiang Weizhi, who was killed in the accidental dust explosion, must receive certain rewards.

Yelu Xiezhen immediately said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have received Your Majesty's grace of not killing me, I am willing to die on the way to charge for Your Majesty."

As Wang Pu and Wei Renpu gradually faded out of the imperial court, it was only natural that a new political team would be built around Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, and Song Qi.

As for Song Qi?

During the days when he is not in Beijing, many ghosts and monsters will show their true colors.

Conspiracy for Dali belongs to the drunken man. The meaning is not in wine, but in the ancient tea-horse road.

On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, because of the food of fishy meat, there is no need for tea; for the heat of highland barley, there is no need for tea. In Tubo, tea is an indispensable daily necessities for survival.However, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where Tubo lives does not produce tea.In order to transport the tea from Sichuan and Yunnan into the snow area, and at the same time import the local products from the snow area to China, a series of traffic lines mainly focused on tea trade were cut down by traders, back men, pack teams, and caravans. was opened up.

The ancient tea-horse road leads directly to Lhasa in Tubo, which is not only a commercial road, but also a road for transporting troops.

At the same time, there are several ancient tea-horse roads, spanning Shaanxi, Gansu, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, and Tibet, and extending to South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia, and Southeast Asian countries. Taking Dali can completely control this road, and will China's influence radiates in all directions.
