All the way to North Street, Luo Youdu seemed to be in a strange place.
The wide streets are lined with mansions on the left and right sides, many of which have townhouses with drum stones to show their dignity.
After a year's absence, most of the originally constructed mansion has been completed.
Luo Youdu couldn't help but speed up a little. Ever since Guo Rong talked about marriage before the expedition, he had asked people to expand his humble house.
Judging by the time, it should have been completed, so I have little expectations.
When he was approaching the mansion, Luo Youdu suddenly stopped and looked at his neighbor's plaque. Under the reflection of the lantern at the door, there were two gold-painted characters "Gaofu".
Luo Youdu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and felt a headache.
There is this big boss living next door, so safety is not a concern, we just have to tolerate his temper from time to time.
There are pros and cons.
This battle in Huainan was an eye-opener for Luo Youdu himself.
Zhao Kuangyin was miraculous in beheading generals while riding alone, and this fifth-generation version of Zhao Zilong also showed extraordinary martial prowess.
It is insignificant to defeat two hundred cavalry with twenty cavalry.
At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty were fighting fiercely at Zijin Mountain. Zhu Yuan set up Lianzhu Village as a barrier to fight against the Great Zhou army.
Guo Rong wanted to test the opponent's authenticity, so he asked Gao Huaide to lead his cronies to cross the river overnight to conduct reconnaissance.
Gao Huaide took advantage of the dawn and led more than 30 cavalrymen to unexpectedly rush into Zhu Yuan's camp, killing two of them, and captured a deputy general before retreating calmly.
Zhu Yuan was so angry that he mobilized soldiers and horses from Lianzhu Village to surround and kill him. Guo Rong could clearly see the enemy's situation.
Anyway, Luo Youdu still can't use his IQ to understand Gao Huaide's thoughts at that time. This man is really not afraid of death, and he can really fight.
He shook his head and smiled, and arrived in front of his mansion.
The original bamboo fence is long gone, replaced by a brick wall more than ten feet high with whitewash.
Knocking on Zhuhong's door, the person who opened the door was actually an acquaintance.
His surname is Yu, and his name is Yu Qing. When he was a legal officer in Kaifeng Prefecture, he tried a case in which a fierce horse lost control and broke a commoner's leg.
The victim is Yu Qing.
"My young husband, I am old and weak and can't do much. I learned that my husband's house was looking for a concierge, so I came to apply."
Luo Youdu secretly praised Huber for doing things well.
For a position like concierge, it is better to find an acquaintance than a stranger.
What's more, the other party has also received favors from me.
Luo Youdu asked Liu Fu to sit in his house.
Liu Fu said seriously: "My subordinates are on duty today and it is inconvenient to leave for too long."
Luo Youdu nodded in praise, invited him to the wedding, and let him leave.
Luo Youdu looked at his new home curiously. It was very ordinary, nothing special, and he nodded with satisfaction.
This is the feeling you want.
As a minister, Guo Rong scrimped on food and clothing, how could he spend so much money?
You have to leave yourself room for self-destruction.
Going from frugality to extravagance is called self-degradation, and going from lavishness to spending a lot of money is called the release of one's nature.
There is still a big difference.
As a person, you have to look further ahead and leave more of a path for yourself.
Lao Hu has already prepared dishes for him.
A table of four dishes, two steamed and two stir-fried, are his favorite foods.
Luo Youdu took Lao Hu to sit down and chat while eating, and told him about Chai Kehong.
When Lao Hu heard this, his expression also showed some nostalgia, and said: "Chief Chai was sincerely friends with Master Lang back then. My wife chose to go north to visit her relatives because she was worried about dragging down Governor Chai. It is really great that my young husband can see Governor Chai again. fate."
He felt for a while, and then said: "After Zhou Zong came to Beijing, he came to the house to pay a visit to the old slave. The old slave didn't like his snobbishness, but the Nv'e Emperor was really sensible, and the old slave liked him very much. He didn't know that Zhou Zong had accumulated many treasures in his previous life.
What kind of virtue can you do to get this girl when you are old?"
Seeing that his elders had been conquered by Emperor Zhou E like this, Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Uncle Hu, don't worry, Song Qiqiu is the chief culprit for what happened back then. Even though Zhou Zong is unjust, he has no way to punish him harshly. What's more, one code belongs to the other, Emperor E
What's wrong with the girl?"
Luo Youdu talked about the wedding date next month, and Lao Hu was as happy as a child.
As he gets older, he feels unable to do many things.
It is his last wish to be able to witness the growth of the next generation of the Luo family in his own future.
Seeing this, Luo Youdu raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He hadn't said anything about letting Lao Hu act as a high official.
It depends on Fu Qing'er's reply.
Fu Qing'er has a noble status. If she really doesn't want it, Luo Youdu can't force her. He's not that stubborn. If she doesn't bow, the marriage will not be concluded.
No one can bear the consequences.
But it is inevitable that it will be a knot in his heart. On the other hand, if Fu Qing'er is willing to respect him, her husband's only elder, she will naturally be loved a hundred times in return.
After taking a comfortable bath, Luo Youdu slowly squinted his eyes as he thought about the rewards he might get tomorrow.
Early the next morning.
When Luo Youdu came out of the mansion, he saw Zhang Qiong waiting happily outside the mansion, wearing a bright armor that covered all the fat on his body.
Early this morning, his promotion appointment was issued by the Privy Council.
Commander of the Long Guard Army of the Royal Camp Division.
The Imperial Camp Division has six armies, among which the Tianwei Army, the Divine Guard Army, the Wei Sheng Army, and the Xuanwei Army are all infantry formations, the Long Guard Army is a mixed infantry and cavalry formation, and the Longxiang Army is a pure cavalry formation.
You don’t need to think about it to know that Long Xiangjun and Long Weijun were born from your own mother.
Zhang Qiong was given command of one of the Dragon Guards, and his mouth had not closed all morning.
"Let's go!"
Seeing Zhang Qiong's proud look, Luo Youdu also felt itchy.
All the way to the Imperial City, Zhang Qiong went to the Imperial Camp to report on his own.
Luo Youdu greeted familiar officials along the way and followed the flow of people to the outside of Zichen Hall.
Ordinary officials wait outside the hall, and Luo Youdu's current status should have been outside the hall, but as soon as he arrived at the Zichen Hall, he asked a chamberlain to invite him to a side hall to rest.
The surrounding officials wanted to get close to him, but they could only look at it with emotion.
There's no surprise at all about this.
In the Battle of Huainan, Luo Youdu's performance was really amazing.
Military achievements and military exploits were the first. After the war, he captured the three states of Jing, Gui, and Xia without any bloodshed.
Such great achievements were unparalleled by anyone in Guo Rong's Xiande Dynasty.
Even if Guo Wei's Guangshun Dynasty is included, few can compare.
Luo Youdu walked into the side hall and saw many familiar faces.
Prime ministers Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Xiang Xun, etc. are all figures who stamp their feet and tremble in the temple.
At the beginning of the Battle of Huainan, Li Gu, the commander of the Twelfth Army in the front, resigned from his post and retired to his old age at home.
Because of his strong temper, he faced off against Guo Rong and received a cold reception.
He was succeeded by Wei Renpu, who, as a privy envoy, was added to the position of Vice Minister of Zhongshu, Tongping Zhangshi, and had the power to control the Council Hall and the Privy Council. He was in a position of power in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Luo Youdu first greeted Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde.
These two were the first and second in command of the Zhou Dynasty temple military.
Until Guo Rong moves them, no one can take their place.
Because some achievements are unattainable no matter what.
Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde were Guo Wei's nephew and Guo Wei's son-in-law. They followed Guo Wei in founding the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was their contribution to the founding of the country.
From the dragon is greater than anything else.
Greetings from Luo Youdu opposite.
Li Chongjin gave a friendly gift in return.
Zhang Yongde responded rather coldly.
The two have always been at odds.
In the historical Battle of Huainan, because the battle situation was not going smoothly, Guo Rong withdrew from Kaifeng twice for rectification and handed over frontline affairs to Li Chongjin.
Li Chongjin made Zhu Yuan desperate, Zhang Yongde also suffered a suicide attack from Lin Renzhao, and Cai Fuqiao was forced to have his mentality exploded.
The two almost had internal strife on the front line.
However, due to the emergence of Luo Youdu, the initiative in the battle has always been in the hands of Zhou Dynasty. Guo Rong has not returned to Kaifeng, so there is no such thing as the Three Conquests.
With Guo Rong in charge, Li Chongjin, and Zhang Yongde did not dare to act recklessly, so they lived in peace and harmony.
Li Chongjin was optimistic about Luo Youdu, while Zhang Yongde was optimistic about his subordinate Zhao Kuangyin.
Even if there is no conflict, Zhang Yongde naturally does not like Luo Youdu, a junior.
Luo Youdu didn't take it seriously and remained polite.
When a person lives in this world, it is impossible to be recognized by everyone. It is also impossible to be liked by everyone like coins and gold.
Luo Youdu's way of dealing with things has always been to be kind to those who recognize him, to be lenient to those who don't like him, tolerant and guard against those who are hostile to him, and to kill those who are hostile to him.
Therefore, no matter what Zhang Yongde's attitude was, Luo Youdu didn't take it to heart. He knew that this person would not be an enemy, and there was no need to fight to the death just because of friendship.
Zhang Yongde saw Luo Youdu who was already talking and laughing with Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu. He had to admit that although Zhao Kuangyin was a hero, the young man in front of him seemed to be even better.
As the court bell rang.
Luo Youdu, Fan Zhi, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu stopped talking and waited for the court meeting to begin.
The biggest event in today's court meeting is the canonization of Luo Youdu.
Get to the point right from the beginning.
"In the battle of Huainan, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, the constant attendant of Zuo Sanqi, the bachelor of Jin Duan Ming Palace, and the commander of the imperial camp Luo Youdu, had the authority to know changes, planned well, destroyed the enemy, and were invincible. He was the first in military planning, and was invincible.
It can be compared to. When your army arrives, the people will follow you, and the gentry will follow you. They praise the benevolence of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the world will be convinced. There are wise and brave generals in the world, and you are the only one who has both knowledge, skill, and military skills. You are the blessing of the Great Zhou and the blessing of the world. This is a representation of it.
After meritorious service, he was awarded the position of deputy envoy to the Privy Council, concurrently held the position of commander of the imperial camp, and led the Henghai Jiedushi envoy."
Luo Youdu said with some excitement: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Luo Youdu is very sure of his position as commander of the Imperial Camp Division.
Needless to say, Luo Youdu's guess was that the deputy envoy of the Privy Council was also within Luo Youdu's guess.
After all, Guo Rong's ultimate goal is to have him enter the Privy Council to order the military officials.
But the highest honor for a military commander, Jiedushi, was something Luo Youdu never expected.
As a central general, Jiedushi was a remote leader, and the military system of the Later Zhou Dynasty had weakened Jiedushi's power to the greatest extent.
However, as a civil servant, Jianjie, and as deputy envoy to the Privy Council and commander of the imperial camp, this means that he is second only to Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde in the temple military.
Moreover, since the twenty-four festivals have been established, there has been no one.
Starting today, the three pillars of the Zhou military temple are Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde and Luo Youdu.
