This sudden kick exceeded Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi's expectations.
Fortunately, he was not too heavy-handed. Although Zhao Kuangyi's martial arts skills were not as good as his brother's, he was still a good one. He rushed forward a few steps and immediately stabilized his figure. A stern look flashed in his eyes, but he turned back with a smile and continued to move forward.
With.
Zhao Kuangyin had murderous intent looming in his eyes, but a trace of doubt flashed in his heart and he did not take action.
Luo Youdu escorted Zhao Kuangyi to the prison in Kaifeng Mansion.
Zhao Kuangyi was wearing shackles, which made a squeaking sound when he walked.
Pedestrians passing by noticed this and gave way, but curiosity is a common human fault.
Pedestrians did not dare to look closely, but they invariably pointed at places far away.
I don’t know whether Zhao Kuangyi was afraid of being kicked or losing face, so he walked very fast.
Luo Youdu was walking behind with his little donkey, enjoying himself. Some people said that kicking Zhao Kuangyi's butt felt quite good.
When I originally read this piece of history, I didn’t have a good impression of the second son of the Zhao family. Now that I have traveled here, God only knows what the future will be like. Whether the Zhao brothers can become emperors or not, I have no unnecessary worries in my heart.
Don't care if you offend him.
The top priority is to live well. In such troubled times, it is too easy to die unexpectedly as a pawn.
Wasn’t his predecessor forced to hang himself because he couldn’t survive?
In fact, from the perspective of Luo Youdu's later generations, his worries about his predecessor were unfounded.
Who is Guo Rong?
The first Mingjun of the Five Dynasties, he only reigned for a few years. He organized the army and trained his troops at home, eliminated the redundant and weak, and fought externally in the south and north. He defeated Hou Shu in the west and took over the four states of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Tier. He also destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty in the south.
He conquered all fourteen states in the north of the Yangtze River and Huainan; defeated the Liao Kingdom in the north, and conquered three passes and three states. Historians praised him as "a brilliant and heroic strategy, and he was a heroic leader of his generation."
How could such a heroic figure embarrass a little person between Wei Renpu and Zhao Kuangyin?
However, it is no wonder that the predecessors were frightened. Looking at historical figures from the perspective of future generations is tantamount to making mistakes with the benefit of hindsight.
Let alone his predecessor, not many people in the current Zhou Dynasty can see Guo Rong's true potential.
After all, Guo Rong was too aggressive and aggressive. Within a few months of taking the throne, he wielded a butcher knife and killed more than 70 generals and more than 30 corrupt and lazy officials.
His murderous nature shocked both the government and the public.
How could he, an insignificant little character in his previous life, know that Guo Rong had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments? He only knew that he was a murderer.
Therefore, in Luo Youdu's opinion, if his predecessor really committed suicide, his death would probably be in vain.
But even if you don't die, you still have to lose half your life.
When Zhao Kuangyin walked into Wei Renpu, his own minor ailments inevitably fell into Guo Rong's eyes.
This emperor, who could not tolerate sand in his eyes, was not an easy talker.
If you want to cover up these minor ailments, you can only show your own value. At the same time, only by gaining a certain status can you survive in this troubled world.
No one understands the chaos of this era better than Luo Youdu. If you want to avoid becoming a skeleton in the weeds of a broken wall, you can only climb up.
At the end of the street, two roads appeared in front of Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyi. One went straight, leading to Kaifeng Mansion. The other turned right and turned into another residential area.
When Luo Youdu saw Zhao Kuangyi walking straight forward, he immediately stopped him and said, "You're going wrong, go right!"
Zhao Kuangyi said with some vigilance: "Aren't you going to Kaifeng Mansion?"
Luo Youdu said: "Just go to Kaifeng Mansion!"
Zhao Kuangyi thought that Luo Youdu didn't know the way, so he said: "Go straight here, and after two streets, turn left and you will find Dali Temple."
Luo Youdu said: "Turn right, walk three streets, turn left two blocks, then turn left three blocks, it's also Dali Temple!"
Zhao Kuangyi was just slightly startled, then smiled and said: "Okay, I'll follow you."
Luo Youdu nodded with satisfaction, but secretly sighed in his heart: "The second son of the Zhao family is really awesome, this call from the poor master..." After a pause, he thought again: "I don't know if Lao Hu has spread the news!
"
Wei Mansion.
Wei Renpu walked into the study in a depressed manner. Ever since his grandson-in-law Jiang Jilong's accident, his wife, Mrs. Wei, had not given him a good look. Recently, they were not even allowed to sleep on a bed, so they had to make do in the study.
As the Privy Envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wei Renpu was mainly responsible for the military affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The world is in turmoil, and those with a little bit of military power are always waiting for a price. Arrogant soldiers and strong generals either listen to orders but don't listen to propaganda, or treat rebellion as normal, and have no loyalty at all.
In the first battle of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, against the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan coalition, veteran generals such as Fan Aineng and He Hui were timid before fighting and fled with their guards. Their soldiers knelt down in front of the enemy in front of the two armies.
Shout long live.
In an instant, the morale of the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was shattered, and destruction was imminent.
Fortunately, Guo Rong was calm and composed, and led his own soldiers to risk their lives to supervise the battle. The guard general Zhao Kuangyin was extremely brave, and the general Zhang Yongde fought hard on the left and right wings, and finally turned defeat into victory.
After this battle, Guo Rong deeply felt the weakness of his generals and soldiers who could not fight. He made great efforts to organize the army and train soldiers. Zhao Kuangyin's military talent was the most important part of the reform.
As a privy envoy, Wei Renpu certainly understood the key. He understood Guo Rong's difficulties, but his beloved granddaughter was widowed at a young age, who could he ask to reason with?
What's more, if you can calm things down so easily, how can you continue to be a Privy Councilor?
Wouldn't the arrogance of the generals be even more arrogant?
It is a dilemma between public and private affairs, between emotion and reason.
At this moment, a piece of news came to my ears.
"Master, there is news from outside that Zhao Kuangyi, who accidentally killed a Jiang officer, was captured by Kaifeng Mansion and is being taken to Kaifeng Mansion!"
Wei Renpu's heart was slightly shaken and he said, "Is this true?"
The housekeeper said: "Really, they are all in shackles, and they seem to have to pass by our house."
Wei Renpu felt suspicious and said, "Let's go and have a look!"
With that said, he strode out of the house.
The news spread quickly, and his wife and granddaughter appeared on the street.
Looking at Zhao Kuangyi with heavy shackles on his neck, Wei Renpu was also a little surprised. Everyone knew how much Zhao Kuangyin valued and cared for his younger brother. He was even willing to use all his achievements to be a pawn in exchange for Zhao Kuangyi not being punished. It was really
Does anyone have the guts to capture him and hold him accountable?
Just when he was doubtful, the next scene left him stunned.
The officer who was escorting Zhao Kuangyi actually kicked Zhao Kuangyi hard on his butt.
This kick was so fast and hard that it knocked Zhao Kuangyi to the ground and fell to the ground outside their house.
The shackles were heavy and heavy, and Zhao Kuangyi, who fell to the ground, was unable to get up for a while and was in an extremely embarrassed state.
The depression in Wei Renpu's heart was relieved a lot, his thoughts changed, and he understood everything.
This is the ladder that gives you the steps up and down!
Even though Zhao Kuangyi is suffering from such a serious crime now, when he actually reaches Kaifeng Mansion, the thunder will be loud and the rain will be light.
Maybe this is the best result!
When Wei Renpu saw his wife and granddaughters, they all looked happy and thought to themselves...
