Chapter 23 The two elders of the Fu family have their own thoughts
Kaifeng Niuxing Street.
Here is the most luxurious mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture, built next to the imperial palace and across the street from the east gate of the imperial palace.
Looking at the entire Gyeonggi Province, apart from this mansion, there is no other private mansion of this size.
The owner of the mansion is none other than the famous King of Wei Fu Yanqing, the head of the Zhou Dynasty.
This mansion was originally the old residence of Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When Guo Wei became emperor, he gave his old residence to Fu Yanqing as a show of favor.
Fu Yanqing has been guarding one side outside all year round, and has only lived in the house for less than a month for many years.
It usually relies on a few servants to keep it running.
That night, a carriage stopped at Prince Wei's Mansion.
A wealthy old man jumped off the carriage, glanced at Luan Jun beside him with a smile, and strode into the mansion.
The old man is none other than the famous Fu Yanqing.
Fu Yanqing strode into the main hall, and a lady came towards him and asked with some expectation: "How is it? How about Luo Youdu?"
Fu Yanqing looked at his wife and shook his head helplessly: "It's not bad! I just glanced at her from a distance and didn't say anything."
Mrs. Guo Guo complained: "Oh, it's true. None of you care about Qing'er's future. Qing'er is already twenty-three, and my sister's daughter, who is one year younger than Qing'er, has started to look for her husband's family.
"
The more wealthy and noble the family, the more frequent political marriages, and the earlier the age at which their daughters marry. There are many who get engaged as soon as they are born, and marry off their daughters at the age of ten...
Fu Yanqing also had the common problem of lustful men, but he respected his wife from the bottom of his heart and said hurriedly: "Okay, it's not that I don't care about Qing'er. Luo Youdu drinks and stares, can you find out?"
What's coming?"
Mrs. Guo Guo frowned and said, "Good wine, but this is not very good."
Fu Yanqing said: "What do you know about a woman? That's called socializing. A person who doesn't know how to socialize and socialize can't accomplish anything big."
Mrs. Guo Guo's eyes lit up and she asked: "So, as the officials said, this Luo Youdu is quite extraordinary?"
Fu Yanqing nodded and said: "Quite extraordinary. From the current point of view, it is indeed worthy of a letter of introduction from me."
It turned out that after the night talk with Luo Youdu that day, Guo Rong felt more and more that Luo Youdu was unfathomable. Especially in terms of the overall situation, the more he thought about it, the more sense he became. He just wished he could put it in front of him so that he could have night talks with him anytime and anywhere.
.
It happened that Queen Fu was a little sick and missed her parents.
In this regard, Guo Rong came up with a plan. With the implementation of various policies of the imperial court, the talents on his hands were becoming increasingly insufficient. He was thinking about the next imperial edict, asking the ministers in the imperial court to recommend one person each, so as not to avoid family suspicion.
In order to prevent ministers and officials from randomly recommending officials, Guo Rong thought of a way. On the day of conferring an official, each department would name the leader. Once it was discovered that the person being promoted was corrupt and incompetent, he would sit down and appoint the leader.
Guo Rong is always unique in his control of criminal law.
It happened that the Khitan in the northeast was not stable internally and would not be able to invade the south in the short term. Guo Rong secretly recruited Fu Yanqing's family to Beijing to reunite Queen Fu with her family. At the same time, he also hinted that Fu Yanqing would help recommend Luo Youdu.
Fu Yanqing's prestige among the Zhou army was unparalleled.
If Luo Youdu was a talent recommended by Fu Yanqing, the military would naturally not dare to mess around.
When Guo Rong was reminiscing with his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the palace, he mentioned this matter and almost praised Luo Youdu to the heavens. He seemed to regard him as Zhang Liang or Zhuge Liang.
As Fu Yanqing grew older, he placed more emphasis on his own reputation. On the surface, he agreed to Guo Rong's request, but deep down he felt that it was not reliable.
Who are Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang?
Where can I find it casually?
If he is a boastful person and makes such a grand recommendation, the day his true colors are exposed will be the day when he will be infamy for thousands of years.
He, Fu Yanqing, will become the laughing stock of the world.
Fu Yanqing then planned to meet Luo Youdu, at least to check it out personally.
Fu Yanqing meant this, but Mrs. Guo Guo on the side meant something else.
A good girl is worried about getting married!
At first, Mrs. Guo Guo felt that given her daughter's condition, no one from a family other than Jiedushi was worthy of entering the family to propose marriage, and her eyes almost went to the sky.
But as the years passed, the twenty-three-year-old Fu Qing'er was already a famous "elderly leftover girl" in Daming Palace. Mrs. Guo Guo became more and more anxious and her standards became lower and lower.
Now, after hearing that Guo Rong has promoted Luo Youdu to the sky, it doesn't matter whether he is a seventh-rank official or not. As long as his abilities match his precious daughter, he doesn't care about anything else. Anyway, no matter what, except for the emperor, Dazhou can't find him.
There is no existence comparable to the Fu family.
"Well, sir, do you think Luo Youdu and Qing'er are compatible?"
Mrs. Guo Guo's eyes were shining with brilliance.
Fu Yanqing said seriously: "This is not a trivial matter. We need to understand it in depth. After all, it is related to Qing'er's future!"
Mrs. Guo Guo also felt that it was reasonable and went to the inner hall with some regret.
Fu Yanqing stroked his beard and said outside: "Come out, your mother is gone!"
A little head with an oval face poked out from outside the hall. Seeing that Mrs. Guo Guo was really gone, he squeezed into the hall nervously, smiled shyly, and called: "Daddy!"
"You!" Fu Yanqing shook his head and smiled lovingly.
Fu Qing'er said: "My daughter just saw that Uncle Luan was injured? This Bianjing is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Uncle Luan is a rare warrior beside dad. Although foot combat is not his strong point, it is not something that ordinary people can match. This time.
You've only been beaten for just one day?"
Fu Yanqing smiled and said: "This should teach you a lesson, so that you don't look too high and underestimate the heroes of the world."
Fu Qing'er frowned and said: "Luo Youdu is a scholar, how come he has such a powerful figure next to him? Didn't the officials say that Luo Youdu's father was persecuted in Jiangnan, and his mother's family was killed by Khitan dogs, and only one of him is left?"
"Yes!" Fu Yanqing pointedly said: "This is why the officials highly value Luo Youdu, and it is also where they urgently need to reuse him. Our official family is a rare British leader, enough to be compared with Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. This is
Above the temple, a group of brainless warriors were powerful. If the officials wanted to change this situation, they needed someone to control military force with civility. He appointed four people, Fan Zhi, Li Gu, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu, to suppress the generals. The result was completely ineffective.
, one Zhao Kuangyin can make it impossible for Wei Renpu to step down. Hey, just a few of them, if they become officials in my Daming Mansion, I will cut off their heads with one knife and play them as footballs."
Fu Qing'er rolled her eyes, a little disgusted that her father was vulgar.
Fu Yanqing continued: "What's wrong with a warrior? All his achievements are paid for with his life. He knows how to talk about things. Why do you think it is natural to step on a warrior's head? And this Luo Youdu is so experienced that he will be in Kaifeng in less than a month.
He seems to have no prejudice against warriors, and is able to lower his stature to get along with them. Only such a person can control military force with civility! This official is so powerful, and he is so accurate in judging people. Today's heroes, he
Number one..."
Fu Yanqing let out a long sigh, but then secretly glanced at his daughter.
