A burst of hearty laughter came from the Yanhe Hall in Kaifeng.
Guo Rong, the second emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, looked at Cui Yan, the waiting officer of Kaifeng Mansion, who reported to him with joy, and said, "Is that Luo Youdu really kicked to the ground by Zhao Kuangyi?"
Cui Yan said with a bit of a wry smile: "Under the eyes of everyone, how can there be any lies."
Thinking of Luo Youdu escorting the embarrassed Zhao Kuangyi to Kaifeng Mansion, he, the chief of Kaifeng Mansion, couldn't help but be shocked.
The nominal highest official of Kaifeng Prefecture is Kaifeng Prefecture Yin, but during the Five Dynasties period, those who served as Kaifeng Prefecture Yin were mostly de facto princes.
Guo Rong's son has just turned one year old, so naturally he is not yet qualified to be a governor. The Kaifeng Prefecture's waiting system is the de facto chief of the Kaifeng Prefecture.
"I can't believe that the problem that gave Wei Privy Envoy and Zhao Qing a headache was actually solved by a small official. This Luo Youdu's courage is really extraordinary. This kick won my heart!"
Guo Rong was filled with joy. This matter was a big deal for Wei Renpu and Zhao Kuangyin, but it was insignificant in front of him, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. As long as he said a word, restrained or punished, neither Wei Renpu nor Zhao Kuangyin dared to say anything.
However, Guo Rong understood better that as a superior, even if a bowl of water cannot be balanced, he cannot show partiality. Otherwise, if the soldiers and officials are alienated from morality, he will not be emperor for long.
But from the very beginning, Guo Rong had already set a bottom line on this matter, turning a major issue into a trivial one.
There is no other reason.
The battle of Gaoping gave him too profound a warning. He saw with his own eyes that his soldiers knelt down in front of the enemy in front of the battle formation and shouted long live the enemy.
This kind of ridicule was shocking, and Guo Rong will never forget it in his life.
Even if that battle was won, it would still be a great humiliation.
Because of this, he killed more than 70 generals in one go to show his determination to improve military affairs.
He recruited brave men from all over the country, incorporated them into the Forbidden Army, and gave them to Zhao Kuangyin to train.
If Zhao Kuangyi's incident causes instability in the training of the new army at this critical moment, it will be detrimental to the future of Zhou Dynasty.
As an emperor who aimed at the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, Guo Rong would not allow such a situation to occur.
But what Guo Rong doesn't want to see is that he is fueling the military's arrogance.
Originally, the arrogant and powerful general was the benchmark of this era, but by overindulging Zhao Kuangyin, he made a bad start and will be even more difficult to control in the future.
Guo Rong simply put it aside and gave Zhao Kuangyin a headache. When he couldn't bear it anymore, taking action again would be a lesson to him.
For this reason, Guo Rong also said hello to Cui Yan, the waiter of Kaifeng Mansion, in advance, telling him not to deal with it in a hurry.
This also led to such a big case falling on Luo Youdu.
They never thought that Luo Youdu could solve the matter. Now that Luo Youdu has used this method to punish Zhao Kuangyi and give Wei Renpu a step forward, it is really an unexpected surprise.
"What's the background of this Luo Youdu? I don't remember that there is such a number one person in Kaifeng Mansion!"
Before Guo Rong ascended the throne, he served as Kaifeng's prefect and merit envoy. This was only half a year ago and did not last long.
Cui Yan said with embarrassment: "I didn't know much about it at first. I went through the archives after it happened. This Luo Youdu is from Guangling. His ancestors served in the Southern Dynasty and had good relations with Zhou Zong. Because of his defense of Zhou Zong, he was criticized by the Song and Qi Dynasties."
Qiu's rejection and oppression led to his death in depression. Three years ago, he followed his mother to Kaifeng to join his parents' family, but they didn't know that their parents had been killed by Liao soldiers. Mother and son were unable to return south, so they settled down in Kaifeng. In this turbulent world, there are no people who can read and practice calligraphy.
12. Knowing how to learn calligraphy and writing can be regarded as a talent. Luo Youdu can be regarded as an official. He learned a collection of classics and history at an early age and was hired by Kaifeng as a minor official in the government. For the rest of the years, his performance was mediocre, with no merits and demerits, and he was unremarkable. "
Guo Rong nodded and said: "It seems that his performance is not mediocre, but his pearl is covered in dust. If he has the courage to kick Zhao Kuangyi's ass, he will become a small official." After a pause, he said: "Let's promote him to work as a law officer first. As for Zhao Kuangyi,
Don't embarrass yourself. I still understand the magnanimity of Secret Envoy Wei. Now that we have reached a new level, he will not continue to pursue the matter. If you are embarrassed, just let it go, be demoted one level, and be fined one year's salary."
"I obey!" Cui Yan bowed and bowed.
Looking at Cui Yan's leaving figure, Guo Rong muttered in a low voice: "Luo Youdu, interesting."
Just like Luo Youdu's plan, Wei Renpu did not pursue the matter.
Cui Yan also handled the matter in a low-key manner and released Zhao Kuangyi in just two days.
The problems between Wei Renpu and Zhao Kuangyin also disappeared.
Luo Youdu also officially changed from a minor official to a minor official!
The Fa Cao is the deputy of the Fa Cao and is responsible for assisting the Fa Cao in dealing with prison crimes, supervising thieves, knowing stolen goods, bribery and confiscation, etc.
The local magistrates were junior officials of the ninth rank, but as the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, Kaifeng Prefecture had a special and transcendent status and belonged to the capital officials. The rank was one step higher and belonged to the eighth rank official.
Du Yuhou Mansion.
Zhao Kuangyi strode into the inner hall as if he were at home, arriving before anyone else came.
"Brother, I see there are generous gifts in the lobby. Who are they intended for?"
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "You go and talk to your mother, and our brothers will go visit Luo Youdu later."
Zhao Kuangyi's expression suddenly changed in vain, like a cat that stepped on its tail, it burst into flames and said angrily: "You have to go, but I won't go!"
In front of his brother, Zhao Kuangyi also took off his disguise and his eyes turned red with shame.
Zhao Kuangyin was not angry either. His eldest brother was like his father. His tolerance for this younger brother was endless, "Don't be like this, I know you have the best face. It is really hateful for Luo Youdu to humiliate you like this in public. Do you know that when
How did I feel when I heard that he kicked you to the ground? I just wish I could chop off his head with a knife. What's the difference between being humiliated for you and being humiliated for my brother?"
"Only after thinking about it carefully, I understood his intention. After all, you have hurt someone's life, and you deserve to be aggrieved. If Luo Youdu hadn't disrupted the situation, the matter would have been resolved by His Majesty in the end. This
If His Majesty comes forward, what will be the result?"
"unpredictable."
"Even if you are partial to us, it will leave a pampering impression."
"Now this result is the lightest one. Privy Council Wei has accepted it. Why don't you and I, my brothers, have any reason not to accept it?"
He said with sincerity and sincerity: "Luo Youdu resolved this matter because he was kind to our brothers. As a man, he must repay his kindness. Don't be petty and make people laugh."
"That's it. I'm going to take a bath and tidy up, and then we'll set off together."
Zhao Kuangyi was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew that his brother always doted on him in every possible way, but when he made up his mind together, he could not refuse at all.
Thinking about the humiliation he had suffered, being kicked to the ground in public, his teeth were itching with hatred, his breathing was unavoidable and he said angrily: "It's not you who was humiliated, so of course you are generous."
