Fu Yanqing returned to Daming Mansion that afternoon.
He still walked away with an old face.
Fu Qing'er angrily complained for Luo Youdu: "Dad has gone too far. Only my mother can bear his bad temper."
She didn't know what Luo Youdu and Fu Yanqing talked about.
But my daughter’s elbows are always turned outward.
My husband has such a good temper, is humble and virtuous, respects his elders, and is worthy of both heaven and earth. He is the best person in the world, how could he possibly offend his father?
On the contrary, my father has a bad temper, is ignorant of logic, does not understand right and wrong, and values martial arts over literature. No matter what he thinks, it is his problem.
Luo Youdu could only smile and comfort him, but did not explain anything.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
As you get more powerful, you have to know how to make choices at many times. What you were able to do before may not be possible now.
After all, no one cares about a small character showing off his power, but even if a tiger is lying there sleeping, no one will take it lightly and provoke it.
As the most powerful warlord of this era, Fu Yanqing cannot get too close to him even if he is just pretending.
Luo Youdu knows this truth, and an old fox like Fu Yanqing who has experienced five generations of turmoil understands it even more.
His current embarrassing situation is much more serious than Luo Youdu's.
For the sake of the future of Lao Fu's family, he was unwilling to be too close to Luo Youdu under Guo Rong's nose.
Fu Qing'er looked at her husband who comforted her after being "wronged", and felt deeply moved. Thinking of the little book Feng Zhu secretly stuffed into her, a few red clouds floated on her pretty face.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Fu Qing'er was inexplicably shy, Luo Youdu was a little surprised.
"Ah..." Fu Qing'er panicked: "No, it's nothing."
She quickly found a topic and asked: "Does Mr. Lang know his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi, who is in command of the envoy in front of the palace? What is he like as a person?"
Luo Youdu looked at Fu Qing'er in surprise and asked, "Why do you ask that? This person is quite impressive. It's hard to describe him in words."
To be fair, Zhao Kuangyi's ability is really not bad.
He is resourceful, tolerant, scheming, and has first-class political and logistical planning.
After Zhao Kuangyin wore the yellow robe, he appointed Zhao Kuangyi as the commander of the inner capital, Tongping Zhangshi, Kaifeng Prefectural Yin, and Zhongshu Ling, who was fully responsible for handling rear affairs.
Not only did Zhao Kuangyi not hold back, he also formed his own team.
But after he became emperor, he began to get involved in the military, which is really hard to explain.
Fu Qing'er said: "After my father came to Beijing, the commander of the right wing led his two sons to find him. When my father was a personal commander under Li Cunxu, the commander of the right wing was in charge of the imperial army. He was the same as my father.
Colleagues.”
"Dad admired Zhao Kuangyin very much and valued him very much. He also gave him a thousand-mile horse. The commander in the right wing took the opportunity to propose a marriage request between the two families..."
Fu Qing'er's right-wing commander was naturally Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi's father Zhao Hongyin.
This guy should have died of illness during the Battle of Huainan, but for some reason he is still alive now.
Luo Youdu asked: "Did my father-in-law agree?"
Fu Qing'er shook her head and said: "I declined it politely, but Zhao Kuangyi didn't seem to give up. My mother asked me to ask Mr. Lang what kind of person he is. If he is worthy of entrustment, write it down first."
It turns out I kept it as a spare tire!
Luo Youdu couldn't help but smile: "He's a talented man, but he's not good enough to marry a younger sister. The main reason is that he had already married his first wife before, and he was thinking about my younger sister not long after his death. It's a bit...hehe."
Before he could finish his words, he ended with laughter.
Fu Qing'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "Has he had a wife before?"
Luo Youdu said: "Of course, the daughter of Yin Tingxun, the governor of Chuzhou, and his brother is Yin Chongke, the governor of the Baoxin Army."
Luo Youdu may not know less about Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi's family than they do themselves.
When he was the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, he used the excuse of investigating a case to check the registered residence of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi when the doctor of the Ministry of Household Affairs was not paying attention.
Not only them, he also took a look at the household registrations of the ten brothers in the charity society and their close relationship with Zhao Kuangyin.
There is no harm in keeping this thing in mind, and it may come in handy in the future.
Fu Qing'er hummed: "This is not about admiring my little sister. She is clearly here for my Fu family. If my little sister marries such a person, won't she miss her life? No, I have to talk to my mother."
Luo Youdu looked at Fu Qing'er's back with some depth in his eyes.
Luo Youdu knew that if he hadn't appeared, the marriage between the Fu and Zhao families would have been decided.
Historically, the Zhao family had a relationship with Fu Yanqing and transferred Li Chongjin from Feng to Huainan to serve as Jiedushi.
Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Zhao Kuangyin to succeed with Li Chongjin's personal bodyguard and military division.
It seems that he is quick to act here, and Zhao Kuangyin's family is not idle either.
Facing a sage like Guo Rong, Luo Youdu estimated that the Zhao family would not dare to rebel, but his ambition was not small.
Either he wants to replace Li Chongjin or Zhang Yongde.
Historically, what Zhang Yongde did for Guo Rong was very unreasonable.
On the way to the Northern Expedition, Guo Rong reviewed the documents submitted from various places and got a leather bag. In the bag was a wooden board more than three feet long, with the words "Inspection to make the emperor" written on it.
This was obviously a way to harm Zhang Yongde, and Guo Rong didn't pay attention at the time.
But not long after, Guo Rong accidentally contracted an illness, which was extremely serious. He did not bother to investigate in detail, so he directly dismissed Zhang Yongde from the post of inspection in front of the palace and handed it over to Zhao Kuangyin, whom he trusted most.
Luo Youdu didn't know whether Zhao Kuangyin did this, but it was true that Zhao Kuangyin was the biggest beneficiary.
Otherwise, no matter how great Zhao Kuangyin's achievements were, they would not be as good as Zhang Yongde's achievements in following Guo Wei and founding the country.
I have to make trouble for them and pull out a few tiger teeth to pass the long time.
Luo Youdu thought to himself.
Who to attack?
How about flipping the brand?
"I've met Luo Tongjun!"
At this moment, a general appeared in front of Luo Youdu. He had a face with a Chinese character and a muscular body full of the heroic spirit of a Northland man.
Luo Youdu returned the favor with cupped fists.
The general said: "I am the King of Wei, General Guo Dun, and the wife of Guo State is planning to leave for the north in five days. There are still a hundred horses in the mansion that are part of the Fu family's dowry. I am afraid that there will be no one to take care of them. I don't know what to do with them."
Luo Youdu thought for a while and said: "Save it for two days first. After three days, I will send someone to pick it up."
Guo Tun didn't say much, bowed and left.
Looking at Fu Yanqing's commanding officer's steady expression, he had a headache after thinking about his own captain of the bodyguard.
**********
Zhao Mansion.
The lights are bright.
Zhao Kuangyin invited his colleagues from the front office to a banquet, and they all came to the house to talk about it.
Compared with Zhang Yongde who was too arrogant, Zhao Kuangyin, who was heroic and righteous, won the hearts of the generals.
With his outstanding personality and charisma, a considerable force has gathered around him, which can compete with Zhang Yongde, the inspection branch in front of the palace.
However, Zhang Yongde didn't care. He valued his subordinate Zhao Kuangyin very much and originally trained him as his successor.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the two vacant seats and asked Zhao Kuangyi beside him: "Didn't both Shouhei and Zangyong come?"
Shi Shouxin was a member of the Dianqian Division and naturally belonged to Zhao Kuangyin.
Gao Huaide was not, he belonged to the Guards and Military Division, but Zhao Kuangyin regarded Gao Huaide very highly, and even invited Gao Huaide to this small gathering belonging to the front division.
Even though Gao Huaide rejected the proposal of a good relationship between the two families.
Zhao Kuangyi said angrily: "Gao Huaide said he was writing music at home, so he stopped coming. My brother invited me, but it was not as important as what music he wrote. It's really annoying."
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "Zangyong is just like this, it doesn't matter."
"Then...what about keeping one's word?"
Zhao Kuangyin has extremely complicated feelings for Shi Shouxin, but the friendship for many years is still difficult to let go.
Zhao Kuangyi sneered and said: "He simply said he couldn't come. He also said that if there are Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanxuan at the banquet in the future, there is no need to call him."
Zhao Kuangyin sighed secretly, feeling helpless.
Shi Shouxin is the brother he kowtows to.
But Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanxuan were his right-hand men and most trusted subordinates in the army in front of the palace, and they were loyal and loyal.
Even if they were to rebel immediately and face a dead end, Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyu would not even frown.
But because of this kind of loyalty, the two of them couldn't bear Shi Shouxin's "betrayal".
He believed that Shi Shouxin's decision to make friends with Luo Youdu was a betrayal of his master, Zhao Kuangyin.
Many people in the front office complained about Zhao Kuangyin and spoke ill of Shi Shouxin, calling him a traitor.
Shi Shouxin was also impatient, how could he stand such anger.
He directly fought with Wang Yansheng and suffered a loss.
When it comes to bravery on the battlefield, Shi Shouxin can surpass Wang Yansheng in two ways.
However, Wang Yansheng was originally from Shu and was a knight errant. He learned swordsmanship in Qingcheng Mountain and was the best at fencing. He was known as "Wang Jian'er" and was a well-known martial artist.
Fighting on this battlefield is completely different from competing in martial arts.
Shi Shouxin's killing skills honed on the battlefield were greatly humiliated when faced with Wang Yansheng's dexterous and versatile martial arts swordsmanship.
Shi Shouxin's skills were not as good as others, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Due to Zhao Kuangyin's affection, Shi Shouxin did not use his power to vent his anger, but the contradictions accumulated.
After Zhao Kuangyin learned of the situation, he took Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanyu to apologize to Shi Shouxin.
Shi Shouxin did not want to embarrass Zhao Kuangyin, and ostensibly agreed to reconcile to prevent the front minister from making people laugh, but privately he was unwilling to interact with Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanxuan anymore.
You, Zhao Kuangyin, can treat me to a drink, but if you want to bring Wang Yansheng and Luo Yanxuan with you, then don't blame me for not giving you face.
Wang Yansheng attended at this time and said: "Today, the commander invites us to drink wine, show off our ugliness, and dance swords for the princes."
Amidst bursts of cheers from around him, Wang Yansheng drew out his sword and waved it in public. Under the candlelight, the blue-white sword light enveloped his entire body.
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help stroking his palms and praised: "Guanglie's Qingcheng Mountain swordsmanship is indeed superb."
I couldn't help but secretly think to myself: It's no wonder that Shoushi has suffered a loss. In Kaifeng, the only ones who can defeat Guanglie in a single fight are I and Zang Yong, right?
He suddenly thought that Luo Youdu seemed to have found a guard captain who was not very smart. I wonder how strong he was?
