Facing the reception of the Privy Council, the specific procedures have been arranged by the Ministry of Etiquette.
Han Lingkun and Luo Youdu just need to follow the process.
The two of them went directly to the palace to accept the reward, while the accompanying imperial guards collected the reward on the spot.
Listening to the soldiers behind them shouting "Long live", I thought that they would receive a lot of rewards for this expedition.
“I’ve met the Privy Envoy Wei!”
“I’ve met the Privy Envoy Wei!”
Han Lingkun and Luo Youdu both said hello to Wei Renpu.
Wei Renpu and Luo Youdu have some connections.
However, the two men had different positions and had almost no contact with each other.
However, this time he went on an expedition with the army, and as the governor, he was directly deployed by the Privy Council.
The secret correspondence between the two men has never been broken.
In order to impress Wang Jing and Han Lingkun, he also asked Wei Renpu Privy Council to perform a play for him in his letter.
It was also because of Wei Renpu's help that he was able to break the civil and military barriers with Wang Jing and Han Lingkun.
Compared to Han Lingkun, whose shouting was more formal, Luo Youdu was obviously much more affectionate.
Wei Renpu said: "You two will follow me into the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Your Majesty will lead hundreds of officials to wait for you two in the Zichen Hall. This is the first time I have won this honor since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am very happy and congratulated!"
Seeing that Han Lingkun ignored him, Luo Youdu smiled and said, "Without the dispatching efforts of Privy Council Wei, this victory would not have been achieved."
The three of them entered the city together and headed towards the palace.
After entering Kaifeng City, Luo Youdu immediately felt that he was in a brand new place, which was different from the safe Kaifeng in his memory.
Han Lingkun also looked around in surprise.
Wei Renpu said to Luo Youdu beside him: "The North City is crowded. After you went on the expedition, Your Majesty ordered the expansion of Kaifeng City. Not only did the South City be used, but the neighborhoods were also re-planned. There was also an intention to expand outwards. The South City has disappeared.
It turned out to be a scene.”
Luo Youdu sighed: "The officials and sages have brought prosperity to the world. We are lucky enough to be able to participate in it."
Wei Renpu asked Luo Youdu to say something that touched his heart. What a civil servant like him wanted in his life was to meet the master of the Ming Dynasty, to display his grand plans, to leave his name in history, and to help the world.
Guo Rong is undoubtedly this bright master.
In history, Guo Rong died of illness, and Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe.
Fan Zhi and Wang Pu, faced with the overwhelming army, bowed down and obeyed orders.
Only this famous official, who is known in history as "a little bit of awe-inspiring energy, a thousand miles of joyful wind" organized the courtiers to resist.
It's a pity that Zhao Kuangyin suppressed him alone and died of illness.
The most disgusting thing is that in order to show that he was favored by the public, Zhao Kuangyin forced him to accept the canonization of the Song Dynasty on his sickbed.
Then Wei Renpu, holding the title of Song Minister, remembered that Guo Rong died of a good illness.
Wei Renpu said: "Sir, you are a good and ordinary person. From now on, you and I will serve as ministers in the same palace and assist the Ming Dynasty together."
Luo Youdu did not show any fear this time, nor did he lower his posture. He just smiled and said, "As I wish, it is a great blessing to be able to serve as a minister in the same palace as Duke Wei."
This forced surrender of Meng Shu brought his fame to an unprecedented height.
Wei Renpu called him Mr. Yiyi, obviously intending to make friends with him as an equal.
If you degrade yourself under such circumstances, it will be looked down upon.
They didn't meet often, but it was obvious that Luo Youdu asked him for help, which brought the two of them closer together.
Officialdom is a place of human relationships.
It is the most foolish behavior for a person to hold on alone and think he can handle everything.
There is no shame in asking for favors or owing favors.
Having no one to owe or turn to is the worst thing.
You ask me for help, and I ask you for help. Only when we benefit from each other can we have a close relationship.
Instead of one person covering his head and doing everything.
Arriving all the way to the Kaifeng Imperial Palace, we dismounted and walked to the Zichen Palace.
The Zichen Hall was the front hall where the emperor held court, and only the monthly lunar new year's court meetings and suburban temple ceremonies were held here.
Guo Rong expressed his merits for them in the Zichen Hall, which shows the grandeur.
The moment he entered the Zichen Palace, Luo Youdu felt the eyes of various civil and military officials on the left and right.
Han Lingkun, the commander of the imperial army, was ignored.
Fortunately, Han Lingkun has relaxed his mind and murmured in his mind, "It's nothing strange to steal the limelight from the Luo brothers. No one else can handle it."
This kind of comfort makes me feel at ease.
Luo Youdu was calm and composed, without any timidity.
Ever since Meng Chang sent this great gift to Fengzhou, he had made all preparations.
He is no longer a small boy from Kaifeng Prefecture, but a celebrity praised by thousands of people. Zhuge Liang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were arrogant and no matter how high their status, they still had to obey orders.
Seeing Luo Youdu enter the house calmly and calmly, Guo Rong, who was sitting at the top, felt infinitely deep in his heart that God had treated him so well and actually sent this person to him when he needed it most.
Great things can be accomplished and the general trend can be determined.
"See Your Majesty!"
Han Lingkun and Luo Youdu bowed their hands.
"The two beauties are equal!"
Guo Rong's words were full of joy: "In this western expedition, the two beloved ministers traveled across mountains and rivers, captured the city and defeated the enemy, and even forced the whole country of Shu to surrender with partial troops. They have made outstanding achievements. I have always made clear rewards and punishments, and today I commend them in front of all the ministers.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch was summoned to step forward, opened the imperial edict that had been prepared, and said loudly: "The guards and the generals of the horse army are all commanding envoys, and Wu Dingjun's military commander Han Lingkun is calm and steady, planning to defeat the enemy, and defeat the Qin Dynasty.
The state surrendered to Fengzhou and captured Chengzhou, and the battle was invincible, with bravery and strategy. Now I pay homage to the governor of Zhen'an, the military commander of the inspection school. I will give him clothes, gold belts, silverware, silk, saddles and horses as a token of recognition!"
In this era, military commanders had a high status, so what they looked like as the Grand Tutor of the Military Academy, or the Master of the Military Academy, looked like they were bluffing, but they were actually empty duties. They were just conferring first-grade titles and receiving an extra salary of a first-grade official.
However, compared to Li Jixun, Shi Shouxin, and Wang Shenqi, Han Lingkun is obviously several levels ahead.
Then he summoned the eunuch and said: "The judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, the bachelor of Duanming Palace, and the marching commander Luo Youdu, with great knowledge of weapons, wiped out all the enemy invaders in Fengzhou, causing the whole country of Shu to be frightened. The victory was even greater than that of thousands of miles away, and the secret is far-reaching.
He spent one soldier and one soldier to make Shu surrender. The good generals and advisers of ancient times were nothing more than this. They can be said to be both civil and military. Now he has been appointed as a regular servant of Zuo Sanqi, a bachelor of Jin Duanming Palace, and the commander of the imperial camp.
The Camp Division is under the control of the Council of Government and is responsible for guarding the safety of the front hall."
Luo Youdu was overjoyed and said loudly: "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness!"
While accepting the order, he secretly said that Guo Rong was great.
He had been thinking about how Guo Rong would reward him and how he should reward him for his military achievements.
Should I give myself a false general, or should I go directly to the Imperial Palace Department or the Guards and Military Department to share a share of the pie with the military attache?
Unexpectedly, Guo Rong created an imperial camp division just like he founded the palace division.
It did not need to touch the heartstrings of the generals, but it also achieved a certain purpose.
As a result, in addition to the Imperial Palace Division and the Imperial Guard Division, which were ruled by military attaches, there was also an Imperial Camp Division in the imperial city, which was under the control of the prime minister.
The Imperial Camp Division was used to check and balance each other with the Palace Front Division and the Guards and Military Division.
In order to prevent the military attache family from becoming dominant.
