Facing Zhao Kuangyin's rhetorical question, Luo Youdu was stunned, and said with a knowing smile: "Of course I believe it, I understand, I understand this rule!"
"Then I will thank the two Brother Zhaos for their support for Kou Xiang. As for Wang Yansheng, I will try my best to persuade Kou Xiang to be given a lighter sentence."
He said and bowed gratefully.
Got it, you know a hammer.
Zhao Kuangyin felt infinitely wronged and felt a sense of powerlessness throughout his body.
Even Luo Youdu felt this way. Who else in Bianjing and Kaifeng didn't think so?
What makes Zhao Kuangyin miserable is yet to come.
As the facts of the case were gradually revealed, celebrities like Dou Yujun also promoted it intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Yansheng's evil deeds were fully disclosed to the public and denounced by the scholars.
How could something like this happen before?
If you encounter scholars making trouble, even if you don't kill them, send a few policemen to deal with them.
During this period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the generals were not first-rate, nor were the civil servants first-rate, and even the kings were not first-rate.
But the soldiers of the Five Dynasties are definitely top-notch.
Three or five people can defeat a group of scribes.
However, as the institutional policies of the Great Zhou Dynasty became more and more clear, and the implementation of the system became more and more in place, the prosperity of the great unification has emerged.
There are very few cases of blatant violations of law and discipline.
As one thing goes down and the other goes up, the reasonable scholars will naturally rise up.
So much so that it reached Guo Rong’s ears.
Guo Rong called Zhao Kuangyin to the imperial court and specifically told him not to embarrass Kou Xiang. He also warned him to restrain military discipline and not allow his subordinates to act arbitrarily.
Zhao Kuangyin felt bitter in his heart. He could still scream a few times in front of Luo Youdu, but here with Guo Rong, he couldn't even scream and could only hold it in.
This loss is unjust, hurt, inexplicable and helpless.
In the end, Luo Yanyi came to Zhao Kuangyin, knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Commander, you have tried your best, don't make it difficult for yourself anymore. This idiot Wang Yansheng brought it upon himself and cannot blame anyone. I believe he will understand..."
Okay!
Even I thought it was him.
Zhao Kuangyin suppressed the urge to kick Luo Yanyu and helped him up.
Without external interference, Kou Xiang handled Wang Yansheng's case much more smoothly.
Wang Yansheng also learned about the external situation, and when he learned that Zhao Kuangyin was helpless, he was like a rooster infected with plague, unable to thrive again.
With a stroke of his pen, Kou Xiang sent Wang Yansheng to Dingbian in Yanzhou to serve as an army conscript.
Yanzhou Dingbian borders Yuyan to the east, Ganliang to the west, Huanqing to the south, and the desert to the north. It has a wide territory and long borders. It is known as the fortress of the Three Qin Dynasties. It is close to the Dingnan Army and the northern Dangxiang tribe, and is often attacked by various bandits.
Harassment by the Party Tribe.
Not to mention, Wang Yansheng arrived in Dingbian, Yanzhou, and completely unleashed his ferocious nature. With his outstanding martial arts, he quickly became the captain, and then unlocked a new hobby, which is eating people's ears.
Instead of cutting off a person's ear with a knife and eating it, he forcefully tore the ear off the person's head and drank wine while listening to the screams and smelling the blood.
All invading party bandits, as long as they are alive, will receive this additional torture.
It actually made Dangxiang fearful and did not dare to harass the frontier fortress again.
It has to be said that such thugs and evil people should be thrown into the border areas where there is trouble and wrong, and use evil to fight evil.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Bi Shiyuan got a blessing in disguise, and with the moral character displayed in this incident, he was recognized by Dou Yujun and accepted him as his disciple.
Bi Shiyuan also lamented the impermanence of things in the world, so he changed the Yuan in his name to An, and from then on he was known as Bi Shi'an.
The one who benefited the most was Kou Xiang, who was upright and prepared to resolve the case. With his tough style, he gained the trust of the people in Kaifeng. Even Guo Rong praised him by name at the court meeting and called on officials to follow his example.
The people in Kaifeng, Bianjing, dared to report to the official if they were to encounter something serious.
Of course, when I encounter minor grievances in daily life, I mainly tolerate them.
After all, this is the feudal era, and there are many things that cannot be helped.
But when it's time to bear it no longer, Kaifeng Mansion is the only hope.
This is also the reason why Luo Youdu left Kou Xiang in Kaifeng Mansion.
But even he didn't expect that Kou Xiang would do such a good job.
On this day, Luo Youdu made an appointment with Quan Xu and Zhang Qixian and planned to go home early.
Zhao Pu walked over with brisk steps, holding a document in his hand. After bowing respectfully, he handed the document to Luo Youdu and said, "Ms. sir, this is the list given by the Ministry of Industry. Please see if it matches."
Luo Youdu took over the task. In order to allow Xuanwei Army to better practice attacking fortresses, he applied to the imperial court for a batch of siege equipment and handed it over to Xuanwei Army for training.
This political organization is similar in ancient times and modern times. Many things can be put off as long as they can, and only done reluctantly when they can't be put off.
Luo Youdu asked Zhao Pu to go to the Ministry of Works and keep an eye on him. If you don't do it for me, I will pester and annoy you.
My official position is higher than yours. You can't catch up with the people I send, and you can't defeat them. You still have to serve them with tea.
It was indeed very effective, but within a few days the Ministry of Works was free of manpower.
After a quick glance, he found that the declaration was correct. Luo Youdu returned the document to Zhao Pu and said, "Ask the soldiers of the Xuanwei Army to help and build the equipment for training as soon as possible."
Looking at Zhao Pu who accepted the order, Luo Youdu asked suspiciously: "Is there a wedding in your family?"
He had wanted to ask for a long time. Zhao Pu seemed to be in a particularly good mood recently, as if an old tree was growing new buds, and there was a feeling of spring coming out of a dead tree.
Zhao Pu said: "When I return to my husband, there is no happy event. It's just that everything goes smoothly and I am inexplicably happy."
Makes sense!
Luo Youdu nodded, he was in a good mood recently.
At first, I specially reserved a seat for Wang Yansheng as the South Gate Inspection Officer, but I didn't expect that it would be so soon.
He also received a divine assist and made a big splash.
After returning to Luofu, Zhang Jin soon led Quan Xu and Zhang Qixian to the mansion.
Luo Youdu met the three of them in the living room.
Quan Xu is a man with slender hands and feet. His body is not strong, but he has a pair of large and thick hands.
As for Zhang Qixian, he is a young and burly fat man, who can actually compare with Zhang Qiong.
However, compared to Zhang Qiong's black fat, Zhang Qixian's fatness is much more pleasing to the eye. He is white and fat, and has a cute baby face, which is harmless to humans and animals.
Luo Youdu really couldn't believe it. He looked like this and dared to squeeze in among the gangsters and feast on them. It can only be said that people are not judged by their appearance.
"I've met Mr. Luo!"
All three of them saluted Luo Youdu and said hello.
Quan Xu's eyes were a little intense.
Zhang Qixian is neither alarmed nor impatient, and has a good demeanor.
"Sit down, no need to be polite!"
Luo Youdu exchanged a few words with the two of them and asked about the question in his mind: "You serve as the commander of the imperial army under the king of Shu. It should be said that you have a promising future. Why did you go to the Central Plains to join the army?"
Quan Xu said with a bitter face: "Where does the promising future come from? Since the king of Shu was forced to surrender by my husband in the past years, the King of Shu has been greatly ashamed, has no face to see others, and has gained weight."
"I thought that the King of Shu would be brave enough to realize his shame and regain his former prowess. But instead, he was intoxicated and extravagant. He drank and wrote poems every day and complimented each other with his group of civil servants. He had no ambition at all. The current King of Shu
He is so obese that even walking is difficult and he needs help."
"I feel really uncomfortable when I see the ugly behavior of the King of Shu and his ministers every day. I simply turned my back on it and resigned from my position. My brother advised me to go out to Shu and see the world. When I came to the Central Plains and saw the weather in the Central Plains, I understood why.
Emperor Guo can become the lord of the world. Instead of returning to Shu, it is better to join the army here."
Luo Youdu remembered that Meng Chang's later period was indeed ridiculous, so much so that the two Sichuan and Shu territories, which were most suitable for separatist rule, were conquered and destroyed by the Song Dynasty in sixty-six days.
It is nonsense to say that Shu is powerless to resist and vulnerable.
Quan Shixiong, Quan Xu's elder brother in front of him, gathered a force and fought with the Song Army for a whole year because of the lax military management of the Song Army's coach Wang Quanbin.
The Kingdom of Shu perished in sixty-six days simply because Meng Chang was unpopular.
Listening to what Quan Xu said now, it seems that because of his intervention, Meng Chang declared his innocence early?
This fat person has to be helped to walk, so does he still have the strength to work?
Luo Youdu said: "Everyone on the left and right has defected to the army. It just so happens that our imperial camp department is short of people. Why don't you join my command and serve the government?"
As the commander of Shu's imperial army, he was willing to resign, so he had great ambitions.
A person with ambition will not be too weak in ability. What's more, his brother is the master of Quan Shixiong who stirs up trouble in the Shu Kingdom. Taking him under his command will definitely come in handy when he conquers Shu in the future.
Quan Xu said excitedly: "If you can join the service of your husband, how dare you disobey me? I am willing to serve you."
Seeing this, Luo Youdu asked one more question: "Am I very famous in Shu?"
Quan Xu nodded and said: "My husband's name is known to all the young and old in Shu, and they all say that Zhuge Luo was young in his time."
Luo Youdu's face turned red instantly.
It turned out that after the true situation of Luo Youdu forcing Meng Chang to surrender reached Shu, everyone knew that Zhou Dynasty had no intention of attacking Shu at all, but Luo Youdu had a clever calculation and calculated that Meng Chang could not bear the pressure and surrendered.
Meng Chang and the Manchu civil and military forces of Shu were like ugly ducklings, pushing the unknown Luo Youdu to the top with their own operations.
Meng Chang was so ashamed at first that he didn't dare to see anyone, but later he found that everyone was similar and relaxed his mind.
But there must be an explanation. You can’t say that you let an idiot force you to submit a table reduction, right?
As a result, it became a politically correct act for both the government and the public in Shu to praise Luo Youdu.
It's not that we are too incompetent, but that our opponents are too powerful.
Therefore, Luo Youdu's reputation in Shu was even better than that in the Central Plains.
There are more people who are bragging and believing, especially in the Battle of Huainan, Luo Youdu performed well enough.
Meng Chang further found the right reason for his lying down.
Quan Xu was inevitably affected and had a small admiration for him.
Luo Youdu touched Qianqian's chin, and couldn't help but think to himself, in this situation, if he entered Shu, he wouldn't be invincible, and he could attack the Shu palace in one fell swoop!!!
"Cuckoo!"
While he was thinking, Luo Youdu heard the sound of drumming, but it was Zhang Qixian who was rubbing his belly.
Luo Youdu smiled and said, "It's getting late, so let's stay and have a casual meal together."
It was a very casual little thing, but Luo Youdu soon regretted it.
Zhang Qixian didn't say anything and ate hungrily. He ate the food for more than 20 people in the house, including the servants and maids.
Luo Youdu looked at the big fat man like a rice pail in silence, and thought of who he was.
