Fu Qing'er was confused and crowded into the palace, feeling dizzy and her mind was blank.
She remembers her husband doing morning exercises with her every day.
Then because of the big court meeting, I went to court early.
It was not yet noon when people came to the palace, and the meeting was called "seeing the saint."
Only then did he know that his husband had become the emperor. How long had it taken him to become the emperor? The emperor of the Central Plains?
what's the situation?
Didn't you wake up?
It was not Fu Qing'er's first time to visit the Bianjing Palace, but it was her first time as a queen.
Every palace maid and chambermaid passing by saluted respectfully and called "Saint!"
Fu Qing'er was not used to it for a while, so she returned the gift.
After asking that her husband was in the Yanhe Hall, Fu Qing'er quickly stepped into the hall and saw that her man was wearing a first-grade court dress and sitting on the seat that belonged to the emperor. She was shocked and said: "Well, do I want to salute?"
"You and I, husband and wife, are so polite."
Luo Youdu smiled and called her over, sitting next to him.
Fu Qing'er sat down next to her husband coquettishly, and quickly asked about the situation: "Mr. Lang, why did you become the emperor? Where is my sister? I am a queen? What about her? Where is she now?"
Although Luo Youdu has been working as an emperor for a little while, the story of how he became the emperor is still like a dream.
He recounted the morning's events in detail.
When Fu Qing'er heard that the Khitan people were so abominable, they actually used Guo Zongxun's name to denounce her mother and her husband. She was so angry that she said, "Khitan, and that Zhao Kuangyi have gone too far. Lang Jun, you cannot forgive them.
"
Luo Youdu said seriously: "Don't worry, Khitan, Zhao Kuangyi, none of them can escape."
Fu Qing'er said: "Then Lang Jun becomes the emperor? How can it be simple?"
Luo Youdu spread his hands helplessly and said: "It's true, it's not true, it can only be so simple for the time being. If it is complicated, it can't be complicated. I have nothing prepared, not even a dragon robe, so I can't wear His Majesty's clothes, right?"
"I can't even put it on! Wearing the clothes of a high-ranking official to ascend the throne? I can't afford to be embarrassed..."
"There is also the enthronement ceremony and your canonization ceremony. These all have to be done and cannot be avoided. It's just that the situation is urgent now and there is no time to worry about these. If you really want to focus on this, the day of your enthronement will be the day when the surrounding princes will fight.
It’s time to come up.”
"First stabilize the internal situation, then consider the issue of holding various ceremonies and complete the procedures."
"So now your husband can only be regarded as a nominal emperor!"
"You! Call yourself the Queen! Haha!"
As he spoke, he leaned his body against his wife, smelled the milky fragrance on her body, relaxed his spirit briefly, and said: "As for the eldest sister, she has moved to Prince Wei's Mansion and continues to live in the palace. It's not too bad."
It's appropriate. Go and stay with her, I guess she will return to Daming Mansion soon."
Fu Qing'er's face showed a bit of reluctance and said: "Then I will go now."
Luo Youdu straightened up and said: "Go!" He also reminded: "Don't go to the wrong door, we are moving!"
Fu Qing'er rolled her eyes at him, but she was also happy in her heart. She was also afraid that it would be different if her husband became the emperor. There would be no difference.
Luo Youdu took the memorial on the desk and continued to handle official duties.
Not long after, Shi Shouxin, Guo Tingwei, Lin Renzhao and Zhang Xiong came to see him.
"I have met His Majesty!"
The four of them bowed respectfully and said hello.
Luo Youdu said: "We are all our own people. You are welcome. You can take your seats."
When the four of them heard that they were one of their own, their faces brightened.
There is a big difference between following the emperor and following powerful officials.
"The current situation can be described in four words, with an undercurrent surging. The Khitan's move made us lose the initiative, although we quickly made an effective response. The threat that has arisen can only be dealt with, and it will take all of you to work hard.
People."
Shi Shouxin asked in confusion: "Will anyone believe this ridiculous statement?"
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "This is the power of the statement. The whole lie is not credible. But in the eyes of those who are willing to believe it, this is the best bargaining chip. It is not that they are stupid and believe this nonsense. It is because they want to
You choose to believe in your own interests. Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty's vassal states Jiangnan and Xishu may unite for their own interests. Either fight, or they want to take advantage of the crisis we are facing now, join forces to force the palace, and make compromises on interests.
.”
"Ren Zhao, you will lead the navy southward from now on and station troops on the banks of the Han River. Remember, next to you is Ambassador Li. This person has a good relationship with me, but he respects Taizu Zhou very much. I will replace him with Zhou.
I'm not sure about his position now. We should establish a good relationship with him, but we have to be cautious."
Lin Renzhao said loudly: "The general will finally understand!"
"Zhang Xiong, lead five thousand soldiers and horses under your command to Chaohu. If the Jiangnan navy dares to cross the border, they will directly enter the Yangtze River to fight."
At this moment, Zhang Xiong no longer looked like a commoner. He was calm and resolute, and had the demeanor of a general.
The scene of meeting him on the bank of Dongfei River came to Luo Youdu's mind. At first, he thought he was a talent that could be developed, but he didn't expect that he would grow up so quickly.
Lin Renzhao privately praised Zhang Xiong more than once for his seriousness and willingness to learn, his extreme self-discipline, and his ability to teach him water warfare techniques.
In just two years, he has become a general who can take charge of his own duties.
Zhang Xiong stood up and said: "As ordered!"
Luo Youdu suddenly thought of something and said, "Will Zhang Yi accompany the army this time when we go south?"
Zhang Xiong said: "Of course we do. They are all His Majesty's soldiers. There is no reason to retreat."
Zhang Xiong had eight sons, namely Zhongxiao Renyili Zhixinlian. Except for Zhixinlian who was still young, they all served as captains in the army.
In his words, our whole family depends on His Majesty and we should die for His Majesty.
Luo Youdu sighed with emotion: "It's just a pity. I wanted to attend my son's wedding in person. Now that you leave, you won't have the chance... But don't worry, this gift will definitely be delivered."
Zhang Xiong was even more moved in his heart, "I will thank Your Majesty for my son."
"You guys go ahead..."
Lin Renzhao and Zhang Xiong resigned first.
Luo Youdu looked at Shi Shouxin and Guo Tingwei and said: "Tingwei! You lead your headquarters to Zezhou to serve as governor. Brother Shi, you garrison in Weizhou. You two will pay attention to Li Jun's movements. In case he rebels
, Ting said that he would be the main defender, and Brother Shi would strike from behind and take the main attack."
Shi Shouxin looked solemn and said: "Li Taiwei is a general of the Zhou Dynasty. If he rebels, the impact will be far-reaching."
Guo Tingwei also asked: "Would it be counterproductive to increase the number of troops to defend the two states like this?"
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "The purpose of increasing troops to defend the two states is to let him know that we are prepared. Even if it is perfunctory, I will not care about it. I am afraid that he will go to Tiger Mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain. That's no wonder.
Me."
This is funny to say.
Just yesterday, Luo Youdu received a reply from Li Jun.
Not long ago, Luo Youdu wrote a letter to Li Jun as the Prime Minister and Deputy Privy Envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the letter, he flattered Li Jun and then asked him to come to Beijing to report on his work.
Li Jun was very proud of himself and said that he would make preparations in Luzhou and go to Beijing to report to Queen Fu.
However, Li Jun expressed a slight dissatisfaction with Luo Youdu in his letter, saying that the governor was too hard to handle and that his control was too tight, and he hoped to be loosened up, which vaguely revealed the intention of the two to be on good terms with each other.
Li Jun's meaning couldn't be clearer.
In order to prevent the generals from causing rebellion, Guo Rong greatly expanded the imperial army and comprehensively reduced the power of the Jiedushi.
No matter whether it is military power, financial power or administrative power, there are restrictions.
Therefore, the current Jiedu envoys no longer have much power to rebel, except for some individuals.
Li Jun was adjacent to the Northern Han Dynasty and needed the autonomy to defend the Northern Han Dynasty. His military power was not weakened, but his financial and administrative powers were still affected.
Li Jun hopes to restore a certain amount of administrative power. In his opinion, it is normal for the frontier commander outside to make a deal with the powerful officials inside.
The two of them, one inside and one outside, can take care of each other.
The result was tragic.
After just one sleep, Luo Youdu changed from a powerful minister to an emperor.
This is tantamount to Li Jun complaining to the emperor Luo Youdu again and making a deal. He said that the power in his hands is not enough and he needs to give me more.
I don’t know what Li Jun was thinking, but Luo Youdu thought it was a bit funny.
If Luo Youdu made such an arrangement under normal circumstances, Li Jun might feel that he had been mistrusted and wronged, which would have the opposite effect.
But in this situation of understanding, Luo Youdu just wanted to let Li Jun know that he had taken precautions.
It's best not to mess around.
Just as Luo Youdu expected, when Li Jun was summoned by Luo Youdu in the name of the emperor, he felt as sick as eating a fly.
What is this thing called?
Li Jun glanced at the envoy in front of him and looked at the letter of comfort given to him by Luo Youdu. The letter not only named him Zhongshu Ling, but also gave him a large reward, but did not mention a word about administrative power.
This is Luo Youdu's bottom line. Guo Rong has made a good start and suppressed the momentum of the Jiedushi.
If he opened this gap because he was afraid of the chain reaction caused by Li Jun's rebellion, then he would not be able to continue to be emperor.
It's not as good as Zhao Kuangyin's cup of wine to release his military power!
Luo Youdu did not know how to tie the hands and feet of generals like Zhao Kuangyin, but if the generals want to return to the era of feudal towns, that is just a dream.
Li Jun did not see what he wanted in the letter, and was a little unhappy. He really missed the days when Guo Wei was in power. He smiled and said to the envoy: "There is no queen in the Zhou Dynasty. Your Majesty has both ability and political integrity. It is natural for him to succeed to the throne."
It should be. Foreign ministers should be loyal to the new dynasty and invite envoys to report back to Your Majesty. As long as I, Li Jun, are in Luzhou, the Han Dynasty will not even think of occupying an inch of my land."
As he spoke, he immediately held a banquet and entertained the envoys warmly.
Historically, Zhao Kuangyin's envoy also received warm hospitality from Li Jun, but Li Jun took out the portrait of Emperor Taizu Guo Wei of the Later Zhou Dynasty at the banquet and hung it on the wall of the hall, crying loudly at the portrait.
But facing Luo Youdu's envoy, Li Jun did not have the guts to do this, so he entertained him with good wine and meat and sent him out of Luzhou enthusiastically.
Back at the government office, Li Jun frowned and was in a dilemma.
He had had enough of Guo Rong and no longer wanted to endure Luo Youdu.
But I dare not fight!
Luo Youdu's record really frightened him.
