Luo Youdu kissed Fu Qing'er on the forehead and said, "I have made an appointment with several ministers from the Privy Council to discuss military matters. You can sleep a little longer."
After struggling for half the night last night, Fu Qing'er was a little lazy and responded.
Fengzhu brought a simple red blouse into the room and prepared to help Luo Youdu get dressed.
Luo Youdu originally wanted to give Fengzhu a concubine, but Fengzhu didn't want it and was unwilling to separate from Fu Qing'er, so he let her go.
He opened his hands and let Fengzhu dress him. Seeing that Fu Qing'er didn't want to sleep, Luo Youdu said: "Yesterday, the Ministry of Rites asked me if I wanted to choose a concubine... I said that there is no need to choose a concubine. We will wait for the solution.
To deal with the current difficulties, let’s bring the eldest lady of the Zhou family into the palace. What does the Queen think?"
Fu Qing'er said with a smile: "I thought your husband had forgotten about the eldest lady of the Zhou family. She has been delaying her for a long time. It's time to give her an identity. It's boring for me to be alone in the palace. It would be nice to have one more sister to accompany her.
But the eldest lady of the Zhou family has entered the palace, what about the eldest lady of the Xiao family? Should she also enter the palace?"
Luo Youdu was stunned.
This is back to Bianjing.
How to arrange Xiao Hunian and Xiao Chuo is a problem.
After careful consideration, Luo Youdu asked Xiao Hunian to protect Emperor Zhou E. After all, the most talented woman in the Central Plains was too famous...
As for Xiao Chuo, he stayed in Luo Zhai as a maid.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuo's mouth was very sweet, and he won Uncle Hu's favor. He shouted "grandpa is long, grandpa is short", which made Uncle Hu very happy.
Luo Youdu simply left Xiao Chuo in Luo's house to take care of Uncle Hu.
Luo Youdu didn't mean to kill anyone, he just wanted to change her future course, and didn't care much about anything else.
"I'll think about it later and talk about it later."
After getting dressed and washing up, Luo Youdu came to Yanhe Hall.
Zhao Pu was already waiting outside the palace.
"You came early enough!"
Luo Youdu said casually.
Zhao Pu first saluted and bowed: "I have met your Majesty!" Then he said: "Your Majesty summoned you, there must be something important, so I don't dare to neglect it."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Go in!"
The two of them walked into the hall one after the other.
Luo Youdu asked him to sit down and asked about public opinion on the street.
Zhao Pu said respectfully: "Your Majesty is a god, and his methods of controlling public opinion are beyond the reach of your subordinates. Just as your Majesty thought, rumors cannot be suppressed. The more they are suppressed, the more guilty they appear and make people suspicious. Nor can we expect the rumors to stop at the wise.
There are no absolute wise men or fools in this world. Most people will believe what they want to hear, not whether things are right or wrong."
"Your Majesty's method of guidance is incomparable. After using your method, the people of Bianjing turned their minds to Zhao Kuangyin, the nature of Fan Zhi's rebellion, and Zhao Kuangyi's treasonous act of surrendering to the Khitan. I also asked people to mention it again.
The ridiculous things that Yelv Deguang did when he took over the Central Plains aroused the people's hatred..."
"It's true that Zhao Kuangyin is a traitor and Fan Zhi is a traitor, and Zhao Kuangyi is a traitor. Naturally, no one will discuss the traitor's statement."
Luo Youdu smiled slightly. This method of guiding public opinion was very common in later generations, but he did not think that the wisdom of the ancients could not see through the key, especially a figure like Zhao Pu.
To say something so exaggerated is just to flatter yourself.
Not to mention, it’s pretty cool.
Luo Youdu asked: "What do you think of Zhang Jin and his group of men?"
Zhao Pu thought about it carefully and said: "Zhang Jin is bold and loyal and can be trusted. But the strange people he knows are very effective at all times, but they cannot be reused. They have different personalities. Once they gain power, they can easily do evil and cause harm.
One side.”
Luo Youdu nodded and said nothing.
At this time, news came from outside the palace that Wei Renpu and Song Qi were asking for an audience.
Luo Youdu let the two people in.
After the ceremony, Wei Renpu thoughtfully handed over the news they had compiled and said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is not optimistic enough. The envoys have urged Li Jun to come to Beijing many times, but Li Jun has found various excuses to evade, which is obviously delaying time.
It means. It is said that Liu Chengjun from Hedong secretly sent someone to contact Li Jun, and the two parties had contact."
Luo Youdu said: "It is said that it was Li Jun who said it. He complained to me that he was dissatisfied with the way Shizong reduced power and deployed supervisory troops. He was afraid that I would touch him and take away his military power. He deliberately
This news was leaked, and he wanted me to be forced by the situation to meet his request. After all, Li Jun may not appreciate the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty."
Song Qi said: "This matter should be true. The Khitan supports the puppet Zhou Dynasty in order to disrupt our court. They have put so much effort into it, and they will definitely not miss this opportunity to make a small fuss. It is not just Li Jun, I guess the official
Regardless of whether they are inside or outside, they may send people to lobby. For example, Jiangnan, Wuping, Bashu, Dingnan Army, even destroying families in Fugu, praising the Duke of the country (Wang Jing), and even Li Shixiang. This is to ask us internally
Turmoil, regardless of success or failure, as long as it can leave a bad impression in His Majesty's mind, this plan will achieve its goal."
Luo Youdu looked at the intelligence collected by local officials from states and counties adjacent to the enemy: "Everywhere is not peaceful..." He turned to the last page and it was gone.
I was immediately slapped in the face.
There is actually no news about the unusual movements in Shu.
Luo Youdu asked curiously: "There is no news from Shu?"
Wei Renpu shook his head and said: "The same news came from Xiazhou, Fengzhou, and Jiezhou. Meng Chang is much more ridiculous than Li Jing. His spittoons are inlaid with seven gems, and there is no change..."
Luo Youdu thought of Quan Xu's dissatisfaction with Meng Chang and smiled to himself: "Is this good man who made himself famous all over the world really at peace?"
"It seems that the situation is not as bad as imagined! At least, there can be fewer people on Xishu side."
Luo Youdu didn't seem to be worried about the current situation at all and even joked.
Wei Renpu, who has always been strict, said: "Your Majesty, there are internal and external troubles in the four directions, so no one should be underestimated. The new dynasty is not stable, and the people's hearts are not yet settled. Once it loses, the world will be in chaos again, and all the thieves will divide it together."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "What Xiang Wei said is reasonable, but in this crisis, there is an opportunity. They all think I am easy to bully, so let the world know who is the bully!"
Zhao Pu said loudly: "What your Majesty said is true. Even if everyone wants to take a piece of flesh from my new dynasty, they all show signs of taking action. In fact, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. Your Majesty's reputation has long been spread throughout the world, even if it is secretly
The planners' clever words cannot change the ulterior motives between them. I predict that they will not dare to take action first. They will choose to sit back and watch the situation. They are thousands of miles apart, and it is impossible for them to act in unison. As long as we
Get ahead of them, strike out with lightning speed, and defeat one enemy. The rest will retreat in fear. Even if some are unwilling to do so, they will not be afraid of anything. All the way.
Just clean it up..."
Luo Youdu nodded in agreement.
The current situation is unless the four internal and external enemies abandon their own interests and attack with all their might at the same time.
If Luo Youdu can achieve this, it is really possible that Luo Youdu cannot hold on, but is this possible and realistic?
Obviously not!
Wei Renpu was stunned for a while and said: "Your Majesty, is he already thinking about asking for war from the beginning? Are the previous defense arrangements all an illusion?"
"That's right!" Luo Youdu laughed and said, "This is a battle to found a country. If we don't fight it vigorously, how can we reflect the new atmosphere of the new dynasty?"
Wei Renpu's eyes were in a trance, as if he had returned to five years ago. At that time, Guo Rong was as high-spirited and confident as he faced the first battle after ascending to the throne. His body was warm and his blood was boiling.
His eyes were inexplicably red, and Wei Renpu said: "Does Your Majesty plan to conquer it himself, or will he arrange it in Bianjing?"
"Personally conquered!" Luo Youdu said without hesitation: "Some things can only be accomplished by my personal presence."
Wei Renpu said: "If you want to personally conquer the country, your Majesty must take precautions in the capital. There will be no chaos in the capital."
Luo Youdu said: "I will leave Pan Mei to sit in the Royal Camp Division and guard the palace. Pan Mei has been with me the longest, has both intelligence and intelligence, and is trustworthy. The safety of Bianjing City will be left to Gao Huaide, the Guards and Military Division, who is brave enough to champion the three armies. As long as
He was not interested in joining us and went hunting. I believe no one can easily conquer Bianjing."
Wei Renpu nodded in approval and said, "Your Majesty still needs to be careful of these two people."
"who?"
"Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde!" Wei Renpu continued: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate these two people. Li Chongjin is not scary in Jingzhou, but as soon as Li Chongjin returns to Bianjing, with his connections and prestige, he can recruit a group of veteran generals in the capital.
The same is true for Zhang Yongde... Your Majesty, it will be difficult to erase their traces in the army within three to five years."
Luo Youdu smiled mysteriously and said: "After that, I will order Zhang Yongde to be activated and transfer him away from the capital!"
Wei Renpu frowned and said, "Zhang Yongde is at home, I'm afraid he won't agree."
Luo Youdu said: "I appointed him as the commander of Jingnan Capital and asked him to lead Li Chongjin. He will definitely agree..."
"cough!"
Song Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing. She choked on her saliva and hurriedly apologized.
Wei Renpu was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Pu thought to himself: "Your Majesty, this is much more sinister than me!"
Wei Renpu said: "Your Highness is not afraid that they will unite?"
Luo Youdu said indifferently: "We are not afraid if we unite. Prime Minister Wei must not forget, who took Nanping?"
Only then did Wei Renpu react.
Luo Youdu captured Nanping without any blood. In order to maintain local stability, Luo Youdu's strategy of ruling Nanping with Nanping was recognized by Guo Rong.
The officials in Jiangling City were arranged by Luo Youdu on his behalf, and Zhou only sent troops to take over the defense.
Wei Renpu said: "I have been in the Privy Council for many years and have some connections in the military. If Your Highness does not give up, I am willing to stabilize the rear for Your Majesty in the capital."
Luo Youdu smiled heartily and said: "I couldn't ask for more. With the king's prime minister and the Wei prime minister in the middle, I can fight with peace of mind on the front line."
He did not intend to follow Guo Rong's approach of bringing the entire court with him whenever he made a move.
This wastes too much time on the fighter plane.
Powers that should not be given should never be given, but those that should be given should be given appropriately to facilitate the operation of the country.
