Luo Youdu met with Zhang Jin, the newly promoted Wude Envoy, and told him about the specific powers and responsibilities of the Wude Envoy.
He knew in his heart that this kind of spy agency was a double-edged sword that could hurt the enemy as well as himself.
But in general, their existence helps their own rule, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
He did not copy the system of Imperial City Division or Jinyiwei, but summarized many problems that occurred in the history of Imperial City Division and Jinyiwei, and set the current authority and responsibilities of Wude Division.
He didn't know whether this improvement in settings was the finishing touch or superfluous.
But any system must detect problems during experiments and then improve them based on the problems.
"I will select a group of reliable elites from the Forbidden Army to be incorporated into the Wude Division for your use. As for those people from the market in Bianjing City, they can become the subordinates of the Wude Division and give them a certain amount of money and silk. They will never be granted
They have no power whatsoever. Wu Desi is my eyes and ears, and it is definitely not a place to hide evil and evil."
Zhang Jin bowed and said: "I understand."
Luo Youdu took a piece of paper from the desk, wrote a few names in a flash, and said: "You check these people one by one from top to bottom. I'll give you some practice."
Several people are on the list provided by Zhang Yongde.
Zhang Jin took it over and hid the list in his arms.
Luo Youdu added: "Here is an article, which is a tribute to me by some thoughtful people. I feel very comfortable with this flattery. I have to let more people know what kind of emperor I am, and quietly publicize it...
It is also your responsibility to control public opinion."
Zhang Jin's expression remained calm, he also put away the Kong family's "Jin Biao Wen" and said goodbye.
Luo Youdu didn't pay much attention to the Kong family. In his opinion, they were just a group of common people who were not very peaceful.
Although the Kong family has always received preferential treatment from all dynasties, it really became a symbol during the Zhenzong period of the Song Dynasty, when they were named Yanshenggong.
The Five Dynasties period happened to be the low point of the Confucius family.
Guo Wei personally worshiped Confucius, but only gave Kong Renyu the position of Qufu County Magistrate.
Guo Rong even changed the county magistrate directly after Kong Renyu's death, and even took back the Kong family's tax exemption rights. He didn't take the Kong family seriously at all.
As for Luo Youdu, it’s even more so. As a descendant, I deeply hate the nonsense done by the descendants of Confucius!
Eating the best benefits, receiving the highest respect, and thinking of the Lord of Heaven and Earth, my dear master, I knelt down faster than anyone else.
Especially the one in the late Qing Dynasty who directly invited the portraits of British Prince Edward VII and German Emperor Wilhelm II into the Confucius family to worship them.
If Saint Kong really knew that his descendants had such virtues, he would have to kick the coffin boards into pieces.
Therefore, although Luo Youdu admired Confucius very much, he was extremely disgusted with the Confucian family and ignored it at all.
However, since he is such a good flatterer, he must let the world know how well he, the new emperor of the new dynasty, complies with the destiny.
It is so realistic to disdain the actions of the Confucius family and at the same time let people use Confucius' reputation to put themselves in a favorable position.
Homeschool.
Zhou Zong and Dou Yujun gathered together to review poems.
As the leading celebrities in the Central Plains, Zhou Zong and Dou Yujun had a very high status among the scholars in the Central Plains.
If an article is praised by either of them, the author of the article will be worth a hundred times immediately.
Dou Yujun has always been the crown prince of scholars in the Central Plains, but as Luo Youdu's status increased, the status of Zhou Zong who was blessed by him also increased invisibly.
After Luo Youdu ascended the throne, Zhou Zong's popularity had gradually suppressed Dou Yujun.
Zhou Zong now laughs out loud in his dreams.
Originally racking his brains to get his daughter to marry into the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Song Qiqiu got involved and became Luo Youdu's concubine.
By some strange combination of circumstances, Luo Youdu actually became the emperor of the Central Plains, but what about the Southern Tang Dynasty?
Now it has been reduced to Jiangnan Kingdom.
Zhou Zong could smile and lament that things in the world are impermanent.
Dou Yujun didn't care about these false reputations. He would be satisfied if more people could read the book.
Zhou Zong put the poems and essays in his hand aside and said: "Now that Bi Shi'an has left, the poems and essays are not as satisfactory as they should be. This article and poems must be read in Jiangnan. An old friend of Jiangnan sent some poems and essays, which are really amazing."
Bi Shi'an is from Yunzhong, Daizhou, but his family lives in Xingao County, Daizhou.
This time Luo Youdu regained the Northern Han Dynasty, and Bi Shi'an returned home and took his adoptive mother to Bianjing, where he served her while studying.
Without Bi Shi'an, the poems and prose would be a bit boring. And Zhang Qixian, whose talent is comparable to Bi Shi'an, also likes to write historical notes.
In Zhou Zong's eyes, these historical notes were inferior to poetry and prose.
Seeing that Zhou Zong was a little boring, Dou Yujun smiled and said: "I have an article here, Brother Jun might as well read it."
Zhou Zong took the article handed over by Dou Yujun and glanced at him unexpectedly. It turned out to be an "Introduction". He read down patiently and read:
"It is the beginning of the good fortune, and the princes admire the rule of the Restoration. The cadres are upright, and the benevolence of Gengshi is ninefold. The return of Hedong is celebrated by the whole world. I respect His Majesty the Emperor, inherit the heaven and protect the country, and support the people with virtue. I have cooperated with the auspicious plan.
For the first time, the six universes share the divine monarch; in response to his fame, he rises to prominence and becomes the Holy Emperor of Eight Desolations. The mountains and rivers intersect with the sun and the moon; the country and the universe share eternity. The ministers and other ministers have established scholars in the palace, and the cracks in the chapter are slight, and the inheritance is passed down.
With great kindness from generation to generation, we celebrate the prosperous rule of the new dynasty today."
It is inevitable that the meaning is not exhausted, and the rhetoric is piled up, which can not be said to be gorgeous.
After reading "Jin Biao Wen", Zhou Zong said: "This article is beautifully written and is a rare masterpiece. It's just..."
It was a bit hard for him to express.
After all, this article is praising his son-in-law. As the current emperor, one cannot say that he is overly praised or flattered.
He saw that there was no signature in "Jin Biao Wen" and asked: "Who wrote this article? Why didn't you leave your name?"
Dou Yujun said: "This is the "Jin Biao Wen" written by Confucius in Qufu, but for some reason it spread widely. It was copied by a student, so there is no signature."
Zhou Zong's eyes lit up and he said happily: "It turns out that he came from Confucius' mansion. It's no wonder that his words are gorgeous."
As long as this article came from the Confucius family, it has nothing to do with the writing style.
Political significance is greater than anything else. Thinking that his son-in-law is so popular, he can't help but feel complacent.
The Confucius family had an average status in the Five Dynasties. After all, in the eyes of a group of warriors, their focus was on whether Confucius could fight, rather than on the creation of the Confucian school.
But in the eyes of literati, Confucius's status is supreme.
What Zhou Zong wanted was his son-in-law Niubi.
Dou Yujun went one step further and wondered if he could take this opportunity to spread the word so that more people could read and learn knowledge.
Zhou Zong and Dou Yujun exchanged pleasantries for a while, returned to their residence, and couldn't wait to write down the "Jin Biao Wen".
He just read it a few times, and actually wrote it word for word. After blowing the ink, he planned to show this "Introduction to the Biao Wen" to everyone he met, so as to help his emperor's son-in-law promote his name.
"Daddy!"
Zhou Ehuang walked into the study with a bowl of medicine: "Drink this bowl of medicine. My daughter will enter the palace tomorrow and will not be able to accompany her father in the future. Dad should take care of himself and drink medicine on time."
Zhou Zong is in his seventies this year and has some problems with his heart and lungs. His heart often beats too fast and he can't breathe. He needs to take long-term decoctions for treatment.
Zhou Zong looked at the well-behaved eldest daughter, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes and said: "Don't worry, there is a little sister at home. The palace is no different than other places, so you have to be cautious."
Emperor Zhou E smiled calmly and said: "My daughter knows. A saint treats his daughter very well and will not make things difficult for his daughter in the palace."
The marriage between Luo Youdu and Zhou Ehuang was also decided by Guo Rong.
As a eldest lady, Fu Qing'er took care of Luo Youdu on her behalf whenever it was inconvenient for her to get along with Emperor Zhou E in private.
Zhou Zong also often saw Fu Qing'er at home. He knew Fu Qing'er's temperament from previous interactions, so he nodded with confidence, took the decoction and took it slowly.
Zhou Ehuang noticed the "Jin Biao Wen" on the table, took it over and looked at it carefully. When he saw that the entire article was full of flattery, he was stunned and said: "Isn't this written by dad?"
Zhou Zong wiped his mouth and said: "Dad didn't write it, it was written by the Kong family. His Majesty's parents died early, and he and Lao Hu depended on each other. It is not easy to achieve today's achievements. This "Jin Biao Wen" is a bit flattering.
It is a suspicion, but we must seek truth from facts and let more people know about it.”
Emperor Zhou E was also very happy in his heart. It was a great honor for his husband to be given the reputation of "the Divine King of the Six Universes" and "the Holy Emperor of Eight Wastelands and Xiange".
After bidding farewell to his father, Zhou Ehuang found his younger sister who was practicing dancing in the room: "Tomorrow my sister will enter the palace. From now on, daddy will be taken care of by you. Don't do whatever you want to make daddy angry."
Zhou Xiaomei was delicate and pretty. She took Zhou Ehuang's hand and said, "As long as dad doesn't mess with the rules, I won't be angry with him."
Zhou Ehuang said: "At your current age, you are too young to talk about marriage, but your father is already old and is worried that if something happens to him, you will have no one to take care of you in the future, so you must be considerate and considerate of him."
Zhou Xiaomei is nine years old this year and is indeed not old enough to get married.
But in the families of high-ranking officials and the marriages of wealthy and aristocratic families, age is never considered.
Zhou Xiaomei hummed: "I don't want to marry those people he values ! If you want to marry, then marry a hero like my brother-in-law. There will be people echoing him wherever he goes. How majestic."
Emperor Zhou E smiled and said: "It's hard to find someone like your Majesty. Also, be careful. It was okay to call me brother-in-law before, but now I have to call you Your Majesty."
Zhou Xiaomei pouted her mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm just alone..." She took Emperor Zhou E's hand and said: "When will you let me go to the palace to see it? I heard that the palace is very beautiful."
Emperor Zhou E had no choice but to pester her, so she had no choice but to say: "As long as your majesty and the saint give you permission, my sister will send someone to take you into the palace."
Zhou Xiaomei danced happily.
Fast forward to the next day, early in the morning, palace officials came to take Emperor Zhou E to the palace.
There are also some procedural activities for taking concubines among the people.
But the emperor does not need to hold any activities when accepting a concubine, just accept it.
Hearing that Emperor Zhou E had entered the palace, Luo Youdu felt itchy in his heart. However, he still had many things to deal with, so he could only be patient and read the memorials one by one.
After all, there is a long time to come, and this memorial has no future.
Luo Youdu narrowed his eyes as he casually picked up a memorial. It read that the Kong family wished to restore their original treatment and title.
