Chapter 49 The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry
Prince Wei's Mansion.
The army marched westward, and the news that Luo Youdu was appointed as the governor also reached Fu Qing'er's ears.
The person who told Fu Qing'er the news was the girl Fengzhu.
Fengzhu's father was a talented scholar named Li Yanfan. He was a Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty and served as Minister of Dali. He was an upright man who wiped out all the old cases in Dali Temple. He was like Di Renjie in the past.
He was responsible for the compilation of "Dazhong Criminal Law System", which was quite famous and deeply loved by the people of the capital.
However, Shi Jingtang recognized the Khitan Emperor Yelv Deguang as his father, and at the expense of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, he ascended the throne in Taiyuan and proclaimed himself emperor with the support of the Khitan. With the help of the Khitan, he destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty.
Shi Jingtang gave Li Yanfan a high official and a generous salary, but Li Yanfan disdained to serve the Khitan emperor and abandoned his official position and fled back to his hometown of Zhao County.
After a restless year, Zhao County was looted by soldiers and bandits.
There is no reason or reason. When a group of arrogant soldiers passed by, they naturally left chicken feathers on the ground.
Fengzhu's parents died at the hands of a pawn, and the pawn skillfully threw Fengzhu to a human trafficker and sold her to a brothel.
It happened that Fu Yanqing needed some well-behaved and smart girls to serve Fu Qing'er. When his confidants saw that Feng Zhu was smart and cute and a famous official, he bought her and presented it to Fu Yanqing.
The children grew up together and have a deep relationship.
Just like Fu Qing'er, what Fengzhu saw and heard in Fu Mansion were all arrogant and strong generals. They only had Fu Yanqing in their eyes, not the emperor. They had no choice but to beat, scold, or even kill the civilized officials sent by the imperial court.
Those who were begging for mercy stayed.
Seeing this, Fengzhu felt that her father, who was not afraid of powerful people, was special.
This time when he entered Bianjing, Fengzhu saw with his own eyes Luo Youdu ignoring the tyrannical Wang Jixun on the street and tit for tat. He couldn't help but be shocked. He never thought that there were civil servants like his father in the world.
On the day when Luo Youdu tried Wang Jixun's case, Fengzhu volunteered to find out information.
Seeing Luo Youdu sorting out Wang Jixun's crimes one by one, he felt that if his father were to be reincarnated, he would be just like him and great.
Did she know that Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion were two different institutions?
Because of this, Fengzhu transferred his admiration for his father to the living Luo Youdu, just like the brainless fans of later generations, knowing his deeds in the past two months clearly, and sharing them with Fu Qing'er from time to time.
After hearing the news that Luo Youdu was appointed as the governor, thinking of Fu Yanqing's methods of punishing civil servants, his face turned pale with fright, and he told Fu Qing'er.
Fu Qing'er felt inexplicably in her heart.
Her mother urged her to get married as if she was urging her to die. On the surface, Fu Qing'er didn't care, but deep down she was unavoidably anxious. But she couldn't wrong herself and just marry someone at random, right?
As a proud daughter of heaven, Fu Qing'er naturally has a high vision. She wants to marry a hero, just like her father, who can win everyone's submission with a wave of her hand. However, she dislikes her father's rudeness, his tendency to kill people with a knife, and his foul language.
Luo Youdu is elegant but not pedantic, aloof and not arrogant, and also very interesting and knowledgeable, which is exactly the half of what his father Fu Yanqing does not have.
He gave Fengzhu a set of flattery and deceit, and in the dead of night, he even thought that he was really anxious. Isn't it like Luo Youdu to relax a few levels?
If it doesn't work, let dad open a back door and give him an army, then the conditions will be met!
Of course, just think about it randomly...
But Fengzhu said that when Luo Youdu went to serve as a military supervisor, he couldn't help but think of his father's big-eared slaps on the face of an unknown year's champion. The specific reason seemed to be that his father said a wrong word.
The other party reminded me and received ten slaps on the face, causing half of the teeth in his mouth to fall out.
In this era where military force is valued over literature, do civilian officials want to control military ministers?
I'm sorry, I can't explain it, I can fight it.
If you can do it, you will never force it.
Fu Qing'er complained: "How could my brother-in-law do all his stupid tricks? With him protecting us in Kaifeng, those reckless men don't dare to mess around. Now when we get to the front line, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. God knows what will happen."
Fengzhu thought of her father, who was once a high-ranking official of the third rank, but he was stabbed by a few pawns in his hometown. Facing the unreasonable and reckless man, the scholar was no match for him, so he couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "
What should we do then?”
Fu Qing'er looked at Fengzhu who was already crying and said hurriedly: "Don't rush, don't rush, that's it! Dad often brags about his prestige in the military. Let's give it a try this time and see if he is bragging.
Find someone to spread the news. Just say that dad likes Luo Youdu very much and praises him very much. He is smarter than Zhuge, more talented than the king, and so on. You can exaggerate as much as you want."
Fengzhu wiped away the tears from her eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, let's go now."
Soon rumors spread inexplicably in Kaifeng, Bianjing.
Luo Youdu, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, came down to earth, his intelligence was better than that of Zhuge Liang, the Marquis of Wu, and his talent was better than that of the former King of Qin. Among all the talents in the world, Luo Youdu won eight fights alone. Fu Yanqing had a keen eye to recognize heroes, he generously compiled books and recommended them, and even gave away precious horses from thousands of miles away.
Things like rumors change as they spread.
Those who are more intelligent than Zhuge Liang, the prince of Wu, and more powerful than the former King of Qin are all empty and unattractive.
What is really fascinating is why Fu Yanqing recommended Luo Youdu and even presented him with a precious horse from thousands of miles away.
So gradually the rumors were mixed with private information.
"The King of Wei has chosen Luo Youdu as his son-in-law!"
"real or fake?"
"Of course it is true. Otherwise, why do you think King Wei recommended Luo Youdu? Why did he give Luo Youdu a beautiful horse?"
"The person recommended is the son-in-law, and the horse is given to his own son-in-law."
"I see."
Compared with myths, this actual association is more in line with public taste and has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
Gradually things seem to be true...
Fu Qing'er was dumbfounded: Is this how I got married?
The little girl Fengzhu also looked surprised: "What's going on?"
When the second female emperor was not anxious about the eunuch, Luo Youdu once again recruited Guo Rong to the Yanhe Palace.
After passing the news, Luo Youdu entered the palace.
At this moment, a general in armor stood in the center of the hall, his back turned to him, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
Seeing Luo Youdu enter, Guo Rong did not wait for him to salute and say hello, and waved first and said: "Youdu, come quickly. This is the escort I have chosen for your trip. You can absolutely trust him."
Luo Youdu stepped forward to the general, bowed and saluted first, and then looked at the general beside him.
First impression: so young.
Guo Rong's voice came from above: "Guohua, please introduce yourself to sir."
The young general turned around, bowed his head and said seriously: "My Cao Bin, I have met Mr. Luo, and I will act as Mr. Luo's attendant from today on. Please give me your advice."
Cao Bin!
A trace of joy flashed in Luo Youdu's eyes. Cao Bin, the famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty who defeated Hou Shu in succession?
Guo Rong said again: "He is the nephew of the late emperor's concubine Zhang. Before I became the crown prince, he followed me to guard Chanyuan and served as a supplementary official. This son has a simple and honest nature, and is a rare talent for being dignified and cautious.
It is entrusted to you, but you must cultivate it well."
