Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 700 Survival in the Wilderness
Li Jilong wanted to turn big things into small things, which is obviously too simple.

The political field of the Dayu court was constantly changing, and the generals still occupied a pivotal position in the Dayu court that succeeded the Later Zhou Dynasty.However, with Luo Youdu's conquests from the south to the north, and the pacification of Jiangnan, Wuyue, Bashu, Lianglong, Northern Han, and Southern Han, the world was unified, and a large number of rulers were needed to govern these vast lands.

A general's sword can conquer the world, but he cannot sit on the world.

Luo Youdu inevitably promoted a large number of lower- and middle-level surrenders, and obtained a large number of talents through the imperial examination to fill the vacancies.

A large number of promotions and reuse of literati inevitably led to a substantial rise in the status of literati.

Especially the group of scholar-bureaucrats left over from the later Zhou Dynasty who were bullied by military officials and hugged together for warmth. They are the core force of the civil servants of the Dayu court and spread across various positions.

On the military side, whether it was Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, Han Tong, or Shi Shouxin, they were all killed with real swords and guns.

Let them kill people, needless to say, they won't even frown when facing enemies ten times their size.

But if you really want them to compete with civil servants, they are really not qualified.

At that stage, if it wasn't for Luo Youdu's help and Zhao Pu stabbing the knife in the back, this lineup of military generals would have been sold by a group of kind-hearted and dark-hearted literati, who even helped count the money.

But after the destruction of Liaoping and Goryeo this time, the situation is completely different.

With the cooperation of Luo Youdu and Zhao Pu, the scholar-bureaucrat group was destroyed in one fell swoop, Song Qi's power soared, and she was moved by a crooked mind, which made Zhao Pu calmly put it together, and quickly disappeared, and the power of civil servants declined.

Under Luo Youdu's control, Pan Mei took over the Privy Council for meritorious service, and her status as a military general rose all of a sudden.

Don't look at the fact that the top three in the military are still Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, and Han Tong, but the real right to speak has been tilted towards Pan Mei.

People like Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, Han Tong, and Shi Shouxin will be in charge of the internal management training of the Forbidden Army in the future, and it is Pan Mei who really has the right to speak in the court.

Pan Mei is both civil and military, not people like Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin who can be manipulated by civil servants at will.

The current military officials no longer need Luo Youdu to take care of them, they can challenge the civil servants themselves.

The civil servants in the temple don't have high-sighted eyes, how can they be willing to let a group of warriors climb on their heads again?
A counterattack is inevitable.

This is why Luo Youdu specifically told Pan Mei.

Li Jilong led a group of second-generation generals, who had not yet arrived in Bianjing.

The village head of Chen Gou spread the matter to Luoyang, and then the impeachment memorandum circulated in the chamber, and it appeared on Luo Youdu's case immediately.

"asshole!"

Luo Youdu angrily threw the memorial in his hand on the table, and then picked up the memorial again with a bit of disbelief, carefully crumbling it word by word.

He had already heard some gossip when he returned victorious.

As the world stabilizes and the economy recovers, some of the second-generation officials and the second-generation officials will face the world of luxury and luxury, and begin to rely on the wealth and status accumulated by their parents to show their superiority.They think they are superior, look down on this and look down on that, forming an invisible chain of contempt.

Maybe they didn't have the kind of beastly behavior that dared to kill people in the street and regarded human life as nothing during the Five Dynasties period.But without violating the moral bottom line, he showed his sense of superiority to the fullest.

There is a Kou judge in Kaifeng, so go to Luoyang, Shangqiu, and Daming Mansion, which are not far from Bianjing, and are out of the control of Fengfu, so as to obtain the greatest freedom as much as possible without being far away from the center.

Even if Luo Youdu didn't investigate many things, he still knew a little bit in his heart.

Although he did not experience officialdom when he was doing business in later generations, he has seen the twists and turns through a pair of eyes.Most of the time, it is common for the whole department to be cleared up just for the official seal affixed by the superior.

It is difficult even for future generations to be equal, let alone the feudal society in ancient times?

Now that Luo Youdu is the emperor, he can't even do things, and he still expects the people below to do it?

He is not a white lotus, let alone a saint. All he can do is to lead the progress of this era with the dignity of an emperor, instead of just jumping forward and engaging in freedom and democracy.

For many things, he just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, muddling along.

After all, they are all people who follow him to fight the world, and they are the most reliable reliance by his side, and it is impossible not to be partial.And he can't deal with the brothers who fought side by side in the past just because of a trivial matter, it will make people chill.

As long as it's not too much, he will treat it as if he didn't see it.

But Luo Youdu is more aware that what blindly indulges in exchange will never be understanding, but making progress.

Zhao Kuangyin gave the military officials endless glory and wealth in order to take over the military power, and in order to prevent the military generals from messing up the government, he bestowed unparalleled power on the civilian officials.

The results of it?
In return, the endless greed of the military officials harmed the people, and the civil servants stood at the commanding heights of morality, with the attitude of the emperor hanging down and the scholar-bureaucrats ruling the world.

This is why Luo Youdu devoted all his attention to maintaining the balance of the temple...

Looking at the memorial in his hand, Luo Youdu secretly rejoiced that he was right to take the road of check and balance.

What he doesn't want to do, needs someone to do it.

Just like this time, Li Jilong's attitude is clear. As a member of the Wuchen Group, even if his sense of justice explodes, he will consider his father and choose to make big things small and small things small.

If any one of the parties in the court is powerful, it may cause the matter to be deliberately concealed. Only now when both parties want to catch each other's pigtails, can this kind of matter, without hiding, really spread to the deep Palace, appearing on the royal table.

He had expected something to happen, but he never expected it to be so outrageous.

A group of furry kids who don't have to worry about eating and drinking go hunting in other people's villages in the middle of the night?Harassing the livelihood of innocent people...

what is this?
See the whole village as a place for them to play?

The chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep raised by the common people have become their playful toys?

Luo Youdu has always felt that the worst thing for a group of second-generation yamen is to be jealous, or young and energetic, to make a scene in an inappropriate place, make a joke, and then affect the livelihood of the people in the city...

He always felt that under the constraints of Dayu's laws, even the second generation of Yamen, who thought they were superior, would not dare to bully the common people even if they looked down on them.

But I don't want to have policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.

A group of people went to a small village far away from the town to make trouble. Does this mean that they have no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go to earth?
It is clearly written in the memorandum that at the beginning it was just someone going to their village to ride horses and gallop, and gradually it developed into driving pigs and sheep to play bow horse and archery.

The more courageous he is, the more exaggerated what he does.

"Come on!" Luo Youdu shouted.

The waiter came in.

Luo Youdu said: "Decree to Qin Han, let him lead the troops to meet Li Jilong, and bring all his companions to see me."

Qin Han has made great achievements in this Northern Expedition. He has now been promoted to the direct commander of the Imperial Squad, responsible for Luo Youdu's safety. He is the only army in the palace that is directly under Luo Youdu's deployment and is not under the control of the Privy Council.He led the cavalry out of Bianjing and followed the official road.

Li Jilong originally planned to rush all the way to Bianjing, but he had to take care of eight second-generation generals along the way, so the speed was much slower. Suddenly, he saw dust flying in the distance, and his expression changed slightly. It's getting bigger and bigger.

"The front is Li Yanei, the son of Li Dudu?" Qin Han shouted.

Looking at the army in front of him, Li Jilong was a little shocked. With his eyesight, it is not difficult to see that the cavalry on the opposite side is an elite in all battles. Compared with their Liangzhou cavalry, it is only worse, especially the opponent's military equipment, battle armor It is bright, the standard is novel, and there are spears and warhammers on horseback.

Perhaps the Liangzhou cavalry has the combat power not to lose to this army, but in a real fight, most of them are invincible.

With this equipment and the quality of soldiers, even if they are put into the battlefield, are they still invincible?
Li Jilong clasped his fists on the horse and said, "I'm here, I don't know why your honor is blocking the way?"

Qin Han clasped his fists and said: "Qin Han, the commander of the imperial squadron, His Majesty ordered me to escort the entire group of people from Ya Nei to the palace for an audience!"

Li Jilong didn't dare to have any hesitation, and said: "Obey!"

At this point, he couldn't care less.It has all reached the ears of the emperor, so he can only resign himself to fate.

As for the second generation of generals behind, they were frightened and stupid when they heard the words, and the timid ones even burst into tears.

On the contrary, it was Shi Shouxin's son Shi Baocong who looked indifferent and happy, and gave Li Jilong a vicious look.

The relationship between Luo Youdu and Shi Shouxin is too tight, and they often drink together.

When Shi Baocong was still in Bianjing, he entered the palace more than once. In his memory, the emperor treated him very well, with a pleasant face, and called himself his nephew.

Compared to Shi Shouxin, who would beat himself fiercely, Shi Baocong was not afraid when he heard that he was entering the palace, and even pretended to complain. If it wasn't for Li Jilong, why would he have fallen off his horse?
With a wave of Qin Han's hand, the imperial squad immediately took over the second generation of eight generals from Li Jilong to protect them in the team, and rushed to Bianjing together.

This matter caused a lot of trouble and began to spread in Bianjing.

Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin were the first to get the news. The two of them, the first in command and the second in command, had been working together, and together they came to the west city of Bianjing to block people.

The two of them naturally didn't dare to snatch someone from Qin Han, but they just hoped that the other party would be lenient.

"Brother Qin, give us a convenience, just say a few words to my unfilial nephew..."

Han Lingkun is 30 years old and Qin Han is No. 1 in the military. This attitude is already giving Qin Han a lot of face.

Shi Shouxin also hurriedly answered: "We will not make things difficult for our brother. Even if His Majesty does not punish that beast for committing this crime, I will not spare him. I am afraid that he will talk nonsense in front of His Majesty because he is young, and I will tell you Two sentences."

Qin Han looked at the two people in front of him, and said sullenly, "Your Majesty has orders to lead someone into the palace directly. The two generals will not obey their orders!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and led the team forward, completely ignoring Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin.

Shi Baocong was really afraid of his father, so he huddled in the crowd, not daring to say a word, and even followed the figure of the soldier to cover him.

Li Zhan saw his uncle from a distance and shouted, "Uncle, uncle, save me!"

Han Lingkun is also the first two elders. Li Zhan is the son of his deceased wife Chen Guo's wife Li's elder brother. Before Li's death, Li entrusted him to take good care of him.

Shi Shouxin watched Qin Han take people away with a dumbfounded look, and also cursed helplessly: "This kid really has guts."

The demands of the two of them are actually not too much. It would have been convenient for ordinary people, and they would have a bright future for themselves.

Han Lingkun sighed in admiration: "This is how powerful your Majesty is. This kid was originally a trivial eunuch in the palace. He was weak and timid, and he stuttered when he spoke. Who would want His Majesty to teach him the art of war and let others teach him martial arts? In just two years , There has been an earth-shaking change. Such a kindness, if it were you and me, you would have to sacrifice your life to repay it. It is not bad to have him guarding and listening by His Majesty's side."

Shi Shouxin was right when he thought about it.

In the early years, he and Luo Youdu had a fateful friendship. When the other party became the emperor, it was inevitable that they would be a little alienated, but they always cared for each other.There is such a person beside Luo Youdu who listens to him, and he is also happy.

But thinking about his troublemaker, Shi Shouxin asked, "But what about that beast?"

Han Lingkun smiled bitterly: "Wait to be punished, what else can I do?"

Qin Han carried out the order meticulously, and led Li Jilong and the eight second-generation yamen into the palace.

They are all the children of generals and eunuchs, they are very familiar with all kinds of etiquette, and they salute and bow in a very standard and respectful manner.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

But after all, they knew that they had committed a crime, and their expressions were unavoidably disturbed.

Only Shi Baocong winked mischievously at Luo Youdu above.

Luo Youdu returned a smile, he really regarded Shi Baocong as his nephew.

He first signaled Li Jilong to take a seat, and then looked at the eight people standing in front of the hall. Except for Wei Renpu's grandson, the rest were all descendants of the generals. Judging by their ages, the older ones were sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger ones were eleven or twelve years old. .

This gang treats the common people as nothing at their age, how can they pay off when they grow up?

"Sure enough, they are all descendants of the generals. At this age, they are proficient in horse bow and horse. It's amazing!"

Shi Baocong inherited his father's genes perfectly, and he didn't hear the irony, but said with some pride: "Since he can walk and run, the boy has been practicing martial arts with his family. When he was nine years old, his father sent him I bought a piece of foal as a gift, and started to learn horseback riding and archery."

Luo Youdu nodded kindly and said: "Yes, at your age, I can't even ride a horse. But do you know that the prey you play hunting games is the rations for the people to live on? You know that the place where you play is the place where the people live. , what if you bump into someone?"

All the people lowered their heads, but they felt a little more at ease, thinking to themselves: Isn't this emperor fierce!

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "You guys are playful young, I don't blame you. It's just horse racing hunting, you have to go to a horse racing hunting place. I have a hunting ground near Changsha, where you can play as much as you want." He said, looking at Qin Han With a glance, he said: "Lead them to play, eat and drink, and they will solve it by themselves. Let them have fun and have a good time."
