Wang Pu returned home in a sedan chair. As soon as he entered the palace, he asked people to prepare tea, saying that distinguished guests would be visiting soon.
Then he walked into the backyard, greeted his mother, kowtowed and saluted.
Wang Pu was born into a family of officials and came from the Qixian Fang branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He attached great importance to etiquette, even to the point of being paranoid and harsh.
I visited three times a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and came back once in the afternoon. Even if I felt unwell, I never left.
Even if the Queen Mother was in a bad mood and didn't want to see him, he would kowtow three times at the door.
Therefore, no one in the capital knew that the Prime Minister Wang Pu was pure and filial, and his reputation spread throughout the world.
Wang Pu said respectfully: "Mother, my father sent a letter asking when my mother will return."
The Queen Mother said: "I won't go back unless I die, what a shameless thing."
Wang Pu's father was named Wang Zuo. He was very scheming, both civil and military. He was in charge of salt and iron affairs. He also led the army to resist the Khitan. He served as the deputy envoy of the Third Department in charge of financial power. He also served as a local governor to protect the peace of the country. Now.
He served as the training envoy of the Zhengzhou regiment and was responsible for Zhengzhou's military defense.
Last year, Wang Zuo was flirting with the maids in the palace and doing casual things. He was caught by the Queen Mother and made him sick and fainted from anger.
After Wang Pu learned about it, he immediately dealt with the maid, suppressed the matter, and took his mother to serve him.
Wang Pu said: "Mom, we have found out everything. The maid's family was in trouble, so she had other thoughts. My father knew that he was wrong, and all the maids in the house were dismissed, so he kept some old servants."
He advised earnestly.
The main reason is that if parents are separated for too long, it is easy for people to gossip.
Wang Pu most hated to see problems with his family tradition that would affect his reputation.
After convincing his mother, Wang Pu withdrew from the inner hall.
Sure enough, the servants reported that Wei Renpu was waiting in the living room.
Wang Pu quickly came to the living room: "Brother Daoji!"
Wei Renpu also returned the gift, and then said impatiently: "Brother Qi Wu, the official's condition is serious and he can no longer take charge. The most important thing now is to seek stability. Only stability can survive the current predicament. But Brother Wensu has recently been
It’s not that we can’t understand his concerns because of his radical methods. But things have priorities, and these four parties are unstable. Jiangnan, Bashu, Hedong, and Lingnan all have two intentions, not to mention the strong enemy Khitan.”
"Today, only Luo Tongjun's military exploits can intimidate all parties and make the surrounding people afraid to cause trouble. Even if there is real danger from foreign relatives, it is a matter of the future. Not overcoming the current difficulties and thinking about the future is not foresight, but stupidity."
Wei Renpu was a little angry.
There are people in this world who care about profits and others who care about fame, but there are also some benevolent and righteous people who are truly willing to be the first in the world.
Wei Renpu is such a character.
As the backbone of Dazhou fell, Dazhou began to fall into internal and external troubles. Wei Renpu saw that things were getting more and more dangerous, but he was unable to save himself. This feeling drove him crazy.
Wang Pu pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Daoji, you have to understand Wen Su. The officials ordered us to be in charge of civil and military affairs. What do you mean? Isn't it to prevent military generals from becoming powerful again... to prevent the prevalence of arrogant and powerful generals? This will cause the world to fall into turmoil again.
, once again the collapse of etiquette and moral decay?"
"This..." Wei Renpu was speechless for a moment, and it was true that before Guo Rong's reform, the military leader was really shameless.
Wang Pudao said: "Luo Tongjun is well aware of the bad governance of Wufu when he is in power, and he will probably understand Brother Wensu."
Hit the mark.
Wei Renpu instantly understood that Fan Zhi was trying to catch Luo Youdu to bully him.
Luo Youdu has a benevolent heart, knows the general situation, understands the situation, and knows the priorities.
Fan Zhi used the future of Da Zhou to force Luo Youdu to compromise.
He bets that Luo Youdu won't dare to cause trouble. If there is a big disturbance, Da Zhou will probably end up in trouble.
If it was a warrior like Li Chongjin or Zhang Yongde, Fan Zhi would not dare to be so bold because they were unreasonable.
And Luo Youdu is just a reasonable person...
Wei Renpu didn't know how to speak for a while. He asked himself, he didn't want to see Wu Fu take power. In the past few decades, there have been countless bloody examples.
But on the other hand, he had certain doubts about Fan Zhi: Fan Zhi's administrative ability was beyond doubt, but facing powerful enemies around him and powerful internal troops, could Fan Zhi really be able to suppress them?
really……
Guo Rong gave them great power and already overpowered the military officials.
But Wei Renpu felt that it was too illusory. Their right to mobilize troops could indeed mobilize troops under normal circumstances.
What about abnormal situations?
If the generals in charge resist, should the soldiers follow their orders or the generals' military orders?
Wang Pu said: "Let's take a look. Brother Wen Su is not an indiscreet person. He's really gone too far. You and I should come forward to persuade him to stop it."
Wei Renpu sighed: "That's all we have to do."
In history, Wei Renpu was given to Fan Zhi, and Wang Pu was deceived, thinking that his good friend who had known him for many years was just like himself, dedicated to serving the public good.
As a result, Zhao Kuangyin finally came to his senses when he wore a yellow robe, and organized some courtiers to resist, but was eventually suppressed due to the weak force.
After seeing Wei Renpu off, Wang Pu shook his head slightly and sighed: "The literary skills are too strong, and the Taoism is too circuitous. How can you two accomplish anything?"
**********
Jizhou.
Luo Youdu led his troops southward, with nearly a hundred thousand troops descending along the Zhang River.
The mighty soldiers and horses marched south along the river with a victorious momentum. Along the way, they encountered cities and surrounding fields. They did not disturb the people or trouble local officials. The whole army lived in the wild and no one complained.
If Luo Youdu was one of the few famous generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty before, now he has been promoted from a famous general to a famous commander.
General and handsome, one word difference can make them thousands of miles apart.
On this day, the army rested near Zhangshui.
Luo Youdu looked at the news from Zhao Pu, which came from Wang Zhu's scandal.
Wang, a Hanlin scholar, drank and ran naked on the streets, becoming the laughing stock of the entire Bianjing.
Luo Youdu squinted his eyes and analyzed the meaning behind this news.
Suddenly I got a message saying that there was an old friend from Bianjing outside the camp who wanted to see him.
Luo Youdu was curious at heart, so he put away Zhao Pu's letter and asked someone to invite his so-called old friend to the camp.
Looking at the thin man with a big beard, Luo Youdu frowned slightly. He didn't remember that he had such an old friend.
The thin man first removed the beard on his face, bowed and said: "I, Wang Yisun, pay my respects to Xianggong Luo..."
He still wants to talk.
Luo Youdu immediately stood up and came forward and said: "It turns out to be Dr. Wang. I have read your article more than ten times!"
He only knew that Wang Yisun was a Chaosan official who was engaged in learning and writing articles, but he had no idea what he was writing about.
Wang Yisun was flattered and said: "My husband, Mr. Luo, expressed his love for me, but I was afraid later in life. My father sent me a private letter. Now the official family is seriously ill and it is difficult to manage the affairs. People in the capital are in panic. I hope my husband can return to Beijing as soon as possible to control the overall situation."
Luo Youdu bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for me."
Wang Yisun put on his beard, said goodbye and left.
It comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.
Luo Youdu opened Wang Pu's secret letter, and at the beginning it was stated that Fan Zhi and Zhao Kuangyin had united!
