Han Lingkun was stunned and didn't know how to respond to Luo Youdu's pretentious words.
Luo Youdu was indeed favored, but Zhao Kuangyin was undoubtedly Guo Rong's most trusted general.
For a veteran like Han Lingkun who had made great achievements under Guo Wei from the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin was just the top player in the East and West class under Guo Wei.
The leader of the line means the leader, not the leader, just standing in the first row.
When Guo Rong became the crown prince and led the Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Kuangyin was just the Ma Zhijun envoy of Kaifeng Prefecture.
After the Battle of Gaoping, Zhao Kuangyin rose to great heights, and his position was the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace.
Han Lingkun is one level behind Xiang Xun, who has become the Jiedu Envoy, but he can be brothers with them. Isn't it because of Guo Rong's special light?
A Marquis of Yu was responsible for the training of the Forbidden Army, and the Forbidden Army was trained in the palace.
What an honor this is.
Everyone in Kaifeng and even the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that Guo Rong's favorite civil servant was named Luo Youdu, and his favorite general was named Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin gave Guo Rong a bloody blow, can Luo Youdu really succeed?
Han Lingkun was a little worried and said: "Is there no other way?"
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "With the character of an official, how can the things he decides be easily changed? Except for my personal intercession, there is no other way." He paused and said: "That's it, School Shidu will serve as our court.
There is no doubt about his bravery as one of the few cavalrymen. Brother Han is here for him, so I will give him this face. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to plead for Shi Duxiao, but no kidding, whether it succeeds or not, I will
I don’t know. I can only tell you personally that the chances are higher.”
Han Lingkun gritted his teeth and said, "If anything happens, Brother Luo and I will carry it together. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, if Shi Shouxin still dares to be disrespectful to you, brother, I will be the first to spare him."
Luo Youdu waved his hand and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. To use your foul language, we have different paths in civil and military affairs, and we can't pee in the same pot."
Han Lingkun said casually: "Then I have to straighten him."
"..."
At this moment, Luo Youdu, who had always been eloquent, didn't know how to continue.
The next day, Luo Youdu found Guo Rong and interceded for Shi Shouxin.
Guo Rong looked at Luo Youdu in surprise and asked, "Sir, are you serious?"
Luo Youdu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Duxiao, is a man you know best. He has a straightforward temperament and is easily deceived by others. This time he has tasted the kindness of others, and he must have understood right and wrong. Shi Duxiao is a great talent. If something happens to him,
Therefore, failure to recover will be a great loss to the court, and I will feel uneasy, so it is better to let him perform meritorious service as a sin."
Guo Rong pondered for a moment and said: "Okay! Since you are here to persuade me, give him a chance."
Guo Rong was not angry, did not hesitate too much, and answered very straightforwardly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Luo Youdu hurriedly thanked him, feeling flattered, but his heart was calm.
This is the difference between Zhao Kuangyin and Luo Youdu.
People are all realistic.
The higher the status, the more so.
The same thing, if done by different people, will have very different results.
What you can't do even if you beg your father or your grandma, someone else can do it with just one sentence.
Whoever has high utilization value will have the right to speak.
This has been true throughout the ages.
The current Zhao Kuangyin has no qualifications to compare with Luo Youdu.
It is true that Zhao Kuangyin is Guo Rong's most trusted general, but this favor stems from Zhao Kuangyin's own potential.
In the Battle of Gaoping, Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin fought bravely and became the main force that turned the tide.
Guo Rong noticed the potential of this young general, trained him carefully, and transferred him to the Palace Front Division to become the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, responsible for training the Imperial Army in the palace.
Luo Youdu was like this at the beginning. After noticing his ability, he has been entrusting him with important tasks from Kaifeng Mansion to Dujian.
All of these are Guo Rong’s methods of cultivating talents.
At this stage, Luo Youdu's voice status is inferior to that of Zhao Kuangyin.
After all, the two of them have unlimited potential, and Zhao Kuangyin can be regarded as the old man next to Guo Rong.
But after forcing Meng Shu to surrender, Luo Youdu proved his strength. Compared with Zhao Kuangyin, who was still in the training stage, Luo Youdu showed his ability to take on big responsibilities.
From this moment on, Zhao Kuangyin completely left Luo Youdu behind.
This is the most realistic reflection of the meaning of value.
Today, Zhao Kuangyin is not even the eldest among the ten brothers in his righteous society, but he values friendship and is well-connected, so everyone is willing to play with him.
Zhao Kuangyin rose to prominence in the subsequent Battle of Huainan.
In the Battle of Huainan, Zhao Kuangyin showed extraordinary military talent and shocking personal bravery, killing every piece of Southern Tang Dynasty and sweeping away the enemies in front of him with an almost invincible attitude.
Zhao Kuangyin's prestige was gained during the Battle of Huainan.
The Battle of Huainan not only allowed Zhao Kuangyin to establish his status, but also convinced the generals who were close to him and earned capital for the future Huangpao.
Nowadays, without the blessing of the Huainan War, the weight of Zhao Kuangyin's words is far less than that of Luo Youdu.
What Zhao Kuangyin couldn't do, it was really easy for him to do it.
Guo Rong motioned Luo Youdu to sit aside and said, "Okay, let's not mention him anymore. You came just in time, and I have a private matter to ask you. The Queen has asked me several times, but every time I see Mr., she always thinks about state affairs.
, I have long forgotten the Queen's advice. The Queen was angry a few days ago, but this time I remembered it and had to ask it anyway."
Luo Youdu sat aside curiously.
Guo Rong asked: "You should know the queen's second sister. What do you think of her?"
Luo Youdu felt a little guilty inexplicably. This is your wife in history. Just ask this straightforwardly?
He hesitated a little and said: "Second Madam Fu is very handsome and handsome. She is quite good."
Guo Rong laughed and said: "That's good. If you don't have any objections, how about I marry you when you come back from the expedition? With the two titles of Queen's sister-in-law and King Wei's son-in-law, it will be a lot easier for you in the future.
You can also shift your focus to the Privy Council and take charge of military affairs together with Renpu."
Luo Youdu answered without hesitation: "Of course I have no objection." He said suddenly: "Under the guidance of your Majesty, the arrogance of the military officers in the court has been greatly reduced. I think that the authority of Kaifeng Mansion is no longer suitable for minor ministers. Your Majesty can
Choose another worthy minister to serve."
Regarding the authority of Kaifeng Mansion, he had long known that one day he would hand it over.
It is impossible for Guo Rong to think that he will die early, and he will not be stupid enough to cultivate a powerful minister.
The emergence of most powerful officials is due to the death of powerful leaders.
Guo Rong kept his position as a judge in Kaifeng Prefecture because he needed to use Kaifeng Prefecture to intimidate those generals.
But as his status in the army became higher and higher, the authority of Kaifeng Mansion became further and further away.
There are gains and there are losses.
When Guo Rong saw that Luo Youdu proposed it himself, he was even more happy in his heart and said: "This matter is not urgent yet. We will discuss it after we take Huainan."
