Luo Youdu walked out of the Yanhe Hall. Just inside the hall, Queen Fu gave Tong Zhongshu the title of Ping Zhangshi.

This also means that Luo Youdu has officially entered the phase.

The biggest advantage of entering the phase is that you can arrange job transfers.

Given the current state of the Zhou Dynasty, without arranging his own people in important positions, if there is really a tendency to split, Luo Youdu would not even dare to leave Bianjing.

Otherwise, while the war is still pending at the front, riots will break out at the back, causing hardship on both ends and causing great losses to the country.

Therefore, in Youzhou, when he learned that Guo Rong was terminally ill, Luo Youdu knew that he wanted history not to repeat itself, that he wanted Huaxia Zhengshuo not to be given to Liao, Xixia to be bullied, not to be given gold, and the tragedy of the two collapses of Meng to happen again.

This power must be held in our hands without any constraints.

Luo Youdu was thinking about the changes in personnel. When the soldiers who had taken over the palace guard were passing by, they all stopped and bowed their heads when they saw Luo Youdu passing by.

Luo Youdu returned the favor with a smile.

As the army led by Luo Youdu, the soldiers of the Royal Camp Division admired Luo Youdu from the bottom of their hearts.

When Luo Youdu appeared in the council hall, Wang Pu and Wei Renpu were greatly relieved, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The expressions of the two people are the same, but their meanings are completely different.

Wang Pu has secretly sided with Luo Youdu, so naturally he is facing him.

He was glad that he was in the right position.

Wei Renpu was still facing Dazhou, but he could handle it.

Now Luo Youdu is the only person in the temple who can control the situation. He is the only one who can suppress the princes externally, control the military envoys, and control the civil servants and generals of the Manchu Dynasty internally.

Although Wei Renpu knew that Luo Youdu was becoming more and more powerful, and the more dangerous he was to Da Zhou, the harder it would be to control the future. But at this time, without Luo Youdu, Da Zhou would not be in danger, but would be in trouble.

Just like drinking poison to quench thirst, Wei Renpu had no choice but to take one step at a time.

He was afraid that Queen Fu still didn't know the importance and was unwilling to give Luo Youdu power, which would lead to a greater crisis.

"Congratulations, sir..."

Wang Pu and Wei Renpu both expressed welcome to Luo Youdu's arrival.

Luo Youdu greeted the two of them casually, then took the seat in front of Fan Zhi as a matter of course and motioned for the two of them to take their seats.

He immediately entered the state and said: "Is there a certain result in the interrogation of the traitor?"

The suspension of court service in national mourning does not mean that the entire court apparatus has to come to a standstill.

Such a major event as the three-law tribunal meeting to interrogate Zhao and Fan's rebellion cannot be delayed at all.

As the mausoleum envoy, Wang Pu was mainly responsible for the burial of Guo Rong. The person in charge of this matter was Wei Renpu.

Wei Renpu presented the documents compiled in the case and said: "The culprit either committed suicide or was executed. The remaining parties have completed their examination and are entering the final stage."

Luo Youdu said: "So fast!"

Wei Renpu said: "The two thieves, Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi, jumped over the wall in a hurry and started the incident in a hurry. They did not have time to contact too many people. There are not many people actually involved in the case..."

Luo Youdu already understood the cause and effect. If Guo Rong hadn't suddenly woke up, Wang Jien had overheard that Guo Rong wanted to kill Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin would not have rebelled under such circumstances...

He looked down at the results of the trial and the fate of the Zhao family and Fan family, the culprits.

Zhao Hongyin was half dead. After learning the news that Zhao Kuangyin had been shot to death, he died of illness sadly.

Zhao Hongyin's wife, Du Shi, was fierce. When Han Tong led his troops into the Zhao family to capture people, Du Shi fed arsenic to herself and Zhao Hongyin's concubine.

They were both poisoned to death.

Luo Youdu shuddered, this old lady is really awesome.

Commit suicide by eating arsenic!

Luo Youdu remembered that he had bought arsenic, but the pungent smell could not be left in his mouth.

Then there is Zhao Kuangyin’s wife He and the sister who beat Zhao Kuangyin with a rolling pin in history.

Zhao Kuangyin committed a heinous crime, but because they were born as girls, they would not receive the death penalty, but it would be worse than death. They would be reduced to official prostitutes for the rest of their lives, and they would not rest until death.

Direct relatives of the Zhao family, even if they are not within the scope of the rebellion, will also be implicated.

This is inevitable.

Thinking of Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei and Zhao Dezhao who had run away, Luo Youdu thought to himself: "The three of them should not be able to make any waves."

He continued to scroll down and saw the situation of Fan Zhi's family.

Fan Zhi's family, except for his three sons, were all arrested.

The bodies of his three sons were also found in an abandoned temple in the city. They were bitten to pieces by dogs.

According to the results of the interrogation, someone revealed the news of Fan Zhi's rebellion in advance. Fan Min, Fan Gao, and Fan Xi were so frightened that they ran away in advance and were captured by a group of criminals.

Luo Youdu slapped his head and thought with his buttocks, he realized that this was Fu Yanqing's doing.

Guo Rong noticed Fan Zhi's ambition and wanted to test it out.

As a result, Fan Zhi arranged for his confidants to come to the table one after another, intending to put pressure on Queen Fu.

Fu Yanqing, the fifth generation military leader, did not take human life seriously and just let the dogs go.

Luo Youdu pretended not to know, went through all the people involved in the case, and then said: "Some people can be exempted from death, but they cannot escape from living punishment. Those officials who indiscriminately, because of Fan Zhi's words, even wrote letters to put pressure on the saint, are all

They must be punished, so as not to encourage this trend. The court is not the hall of one person's words. These officials who do not know how to self-analyze right and wrong, and only know how to obey orders, are undoubtedly worms. I will take their petitions and read them one by one. According to what they said

According to the plot of the book, punishing them accordingly will definitely not encourage this trend."

Wang Pu laughed secretly in his heart, stood up and bowed: "I will do it now."

Wei Renpu listened on the side, with a lump in his throat but unable to say a word. At this moment, he finally realized why Fan Zhi teamed up with Zhao Kuangyin to suppress Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu is different from other reckless men. He has excellent political skills. Once he comes to power, he has the power and means to defeat him. How can he be defeated?

Wei Renpu had already expected that Luo Youdu would promote some of his cronies to important positions in various places when he came today, and had already prepared a way to deal with it.

As a result, people did not mention this issue at all, but first liquidated the remaining members of Fan Zhi.

In this way, there will be many more vacancies in the temple, and Luo Youdu can naturally place his confidants in them.

Without harming anyone's interests, harvest and replace Fan Zhi's forces and gain a firm foothold in the temple.

Wei Renpu is mentally and physically exhausted, Luo Youdu is already powerful and more cunning than himself, how can this be done?

Luo Youdu ignored Wei Renpu's distress and took the memorial that Wang Pu had found.

He did not intend to get rid of all Fan Zhi's confidants. On the one hand, there were not so many people who could replace him, and on the other hand, Luo Youdu still recognized Fan Zhi's ability.

Fan Zhi had strong administrative skills and was very discerning in hiring people. He recommended many talents to the Zhou Dynasty. Even the current core assistant officers under his command, Zhao Pu and Dou Yi, were discovered and recommended by Fan Zhi.

During the Battle of Huainan, Huainan was in urgent need of officials to manage the city after the capture. Fan Zhi recommended Zhao Pu and Dou Yi to Chuzhou and became Zhao Kuangyin's subordinate officers.

Historically, Zhao Pu became Zhao Kuangyin's confidant. Now, needless to say, he was transferred to Luo Youdu's command because of Zhao Kuangyi.

It can be seen that Fan Zhi is indeed very capable, but he just went astray.

Luo Youdu planned to kill a group of Fan Zhi's cronies and use them to use them. He would use force and kindness to change the target of their service.

So it depends on who you hit and who you use.

Luo Youdu had to screen them out one by one, lest he accidentally beat up the talented people and leave some mediocre people behind, which would make the magnanimous people laugh.

Lu Yin, Liu Wensou, Xue Juzheng...

Luo Youdu screened out the useful talents one by one, the ones who would most likely be used by him. Those talents who may have a bad temper and were disobedient to control were directly decentralized and their tempers were tempered.

Then he promoted his confidants Dou Yi, Song Qi, Kou Xiang, Zhang Jin and other meritorious ministers one by one.

As for Zhao Pu, there is a reason why this guy was able to serve as the founding prime minister of the Song Dynasty for many years.

Luo Youdu just gave him a small warning. Zhao Pu understood immediately and was really hungry for two days. He completed all the tasks Luo Youdu gave him, and then reported the situation to Luo Youdu in a daze.

Luo Youdu is different from Guo Rong in this aspect.

Guo Rong had an impatient temper and liked to use heavy rules. He would punish his subordinates when they made mistakes, and he would point his nose at them and scold them.

Luo Youdu is different. He has a good temper and doesn't get angry easily. Usually when he finds his subordinates making minor mistakes, he will point them out without hurting their face and make them realize the problem while laughing.

If he didn't change his attitude, he would tone it down and give him another chance, but that would only be enough.

A person with a good temper is more terrible when angry than a person who has always been angry.

Because once he gets angry, he is determined to move someone.

Zhao Pu was not a good person at first. He had many bad habits of a feudal bureaucrat. He was good at flattering others, accepting bribes, and following others' influence. He was good at using political means to suppress those who had offended him, and he also acted in a high-profile manner.

He has a little flutter, and if he doesn't suppress it, his character will definitely follow the stick and become more and more arrogant.

Historically, he relied on Zhao Kuangyin's favor, became domineering, removed Zhao Kuangyin from his position, and transferred him out of the capital.

Luo Youdu did not spoil him like Zhao Kuangyin and directly punished him with small punishments.

Zhao Pu suddenly woke up, nodded and bowed, and returned to his old self.

Luo Youdu patted Zhao Pu on the waist and said: "Stand up, I have appointed you as the admonishing doctor and the doctor of the Ministry of War. Do your job well and don't embarrass me."

Zhao Pu was so excited that he thought he would be punished and his merits would be reduced. He didn't want to skip five levels directly. As long as he raised it up one more level, he could directly participate in political affairs.

"Thank you Xianggong, Zhao Pu is willing to lead the horse and whip for Xianggong for the rest of his life."

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Go to the Ministry of War to report quickly, don't be an eyesore here."

Zhao Pu bowed with a long bow: "My subordinates resign."

Wei Renpu watched Luo Youdu arrange his people into various positions one by one, and watched each of those who originally belonged to Fan Zhi artificially change the King's Banner and become pawns in Luo Youdu's temple.

Wei Renpu was so anxious that he had sores in his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Every step taken by Luo Youdu was reasonable and legal, and he did not force his confidants into various departments in order to gain power, causing people to panic.

In this calm moment, Wei Renpu watched Luo Youdu's political influence gradually grow...
