Chapter Twenty-Three: The Changed Losu
Ji Zhao stood under a peach tree with his hands in his hands, looking at the black hole void not far away.
Over time, the world has become more and more beautiful.
From time to time, pink peach blossom petals fall on his shoulders, and the fragrance is refreshing.
Every time a flower falls, a new petal is born, and this is a peach tree whose petals can never fall.
"Historical Corrective Power."
Ji Zhao muttered this new term in his mouth, and the existence of the system seemed to remind him all the time that this was not the real world.
But who can ignore the children and grandchildren who look at the living people, who worships them?
As his soul continued to be nourished, the expression on his face became lighter and lighter.
Twisting a petal from his shoulder, a colorful butterfly landed on his knuckles, "Go!" ”
The butterfly spread its wings and flew high, its colorful wings fluttering, passing through the black hole, as if flying out of this world.
[You used the luck point to activate the ancestral blessing on Luo Su, and you can exert a stronger influence on him. 】
[You used the luck point to launch the ancestral blessing on the Luo clan, and your direct descendants will be more calm. 】
Countless luck points were squandered by Ji Zhao, subtly changing the family style.
Luo Su was dealing with government affairs, but suddenly smelled a fragrant smell, and when he looked up from the case, he saw a butterfly flying towards him, and the fragrance was fragrant.
The wingmen on the left and right didn't seem to see it, and he immediately felt distracted, knowing that this was sent by the old ancestor.
The butterfly swooped directly into his eyebrows, and a thick and melodious bell rang, and he saw a peach forest, and he saw a man standing under the peach forest whose face he couldn't see clearly.
"Ancestor!" Luo Su bowed deeply, and his tone was full of excitement and disbelief, he actually saw his ancestor!
"Get up."
Luo Su raised his head and saw a handsome and elegant face, as if there were endless stars in his eyes, and his temperament was indifferent like a god.
Then he saw the old ancestor say to himself: "Luo Su, you are the first descendant of the Luo clan who is qualified to come here, and you are also the most outstanding descendant of the Luo clan so far, so I brought you here." ”
Hearing the old ancestor praise himself as the first descendant of the Luo family who was qualified to meet the old ancestor, Luo Su's heart was full of pride, and he asked excitedly, "Does the old ancestor have anything to teach Su?" ”
[Players should feel free to speak, the system will automatically block some speeches.] 】
Ji Zhao didn't care about the system's prompts, and said leisurely: "Even in ancient times, you were also a sage who assisted the Holy King, and you are now in charge of the Bang Zhou Heavenly Mandate, and you are doing a good job."
I'm just talking to you, how do you think the destiny of the dynasty and the inheritance of the clan can be maintained for a long time? ”
"Ancestor, you once said that the key to maintaining the destiny of the dynasty lies in the hearts of the people.
There are princes and ministers, doctors and scholars, countrymen, savages, and slaves.
If we lose the hearts of the princes and ministers, I am afraid that our state will collapse in an instant.
But in the years I have been in power, every time I see a huge number of Yuanshi who have not obtained the fiefdoms, and the countrymen who have followed the Son of Heaven to fight but go bankrupt, I am terrified, these are the people who will really destroy the destiny of Bang Zhou.
If my policy can be implemented and the problems of these people can be solved, I think Bang Zhou's destiny will be maintained. ”
Luo Su said that Bang Zhou's destiny could be maintained, but he knew in his heart that even if he could revitalize Bang Zhou's national ancestry, the descendants would not have his prestige and ability, and Bang Zhou would end sooner or later.
From the words of the ancestors, you can hear that he is a saint king and a sage who comes out once in a few hundred years.
Although his father and grandfather were already rare talents in governing the country, they could only maintain the inheritance of the clan and could not change the fate of the decline of a dynasty.
Ji Zhao naturally saw what Luo Su was thinking, and said indifferently: "What you think in your heart is not wrong.
The rotation of the destiny of heaven is not something that human beings can intervene in.
Bang Zhou is only a hundred years old, and it has already shown signs of decline, and your reform has pushed Bang Zhou to the peak again, but blessings and disasters depend on each other.
The foundation of Bangzhou's prosperity will also be the reason for its decline. ”
Hearing this, Luo Su said solemnly: "The drawbacks of feudalism have gradually begun to emerge over the years.
Xiong Dun's incident is a precursor, but this matter can't be stopped, and it can't be stopped.
Is this the eternal law of God?
Bang Zhou is different from Yin Shang, so it is prosperous, and there will be a different country from Bang Zhou in the future, and Bang Zhou will be destroyed.
When the time comes, under the nest, Luo Guoan will have finished his eggs?
How should we pass on the Rocks? ”
Ji Zhao said lightly: "Bang Zhou will definitely perish, but if Bang Zhou can exist for a day, let it exist for a day."
Bang Zhou is here, even if the children and grandchildren are a little unscrupulous, the country of Luo can be stable.
If Bang Zhou perishes, the Luo clan will become a rootless Ping, and it will not be easy to keep the clan rich. ”
From Ji Zhao's words, Luo Su seemed to have seen the scene of Bang Zhou's decline and Luo Guoguo's fire in the capital, which made him shudder.
……
The returning Luo Su once again experienced a change in thinking, and originally for the Dog Rong Rebellion, the Regency Council had been handed over to the Marquis of Qi to deal with.
But looking at the letter in his hand, Luo Su still decided to give his opinion.
Under the overall command and dispatch of the Marquis of Qi, the Dog Rong tribe that attacked Wangji had retreated.
But the news that has come back one after another over the past few days has confirmed some of the original speculations of the two.
The occurrence of the Inurong Rebellion was indeed due to the decline of Hojing, but the first to hold back was not the western vassal states, but the allies of the Qiang people, as well as those Inurong tribes who basically did not invade each other with Bangzhou.
The economic recession and the reduction of commodity exchange led to a significant reduction in the living standards of these tribes, which eventually led to the joint infestation of the Qiang people and the joint infestation of the Dog Rong tribe.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the western princes pushed the boat down the river, and as a result, the current situation was created, and now the Marquis of Qi has contacted some princes to build a defensive line west of Haojing.
Luo Su was really shocked and frightened in his heart, he had already known about the fall of the nobles, and several generations of Luohou had been working tirelessly among the princes surnamed Ji to correct this atmosphere.
But he didn't expect that the princes of the west had degenerated to such a state of madness, and now they could push the boat down the river, and they would dare to collude with each other in the future.
How difficult and difficult it was for the ancestors to start a business, the war to destroy the merchants, the battle for the establishment of the princes, and the difficulties and dangers.
At that time, there was no one who was careless about everything, and no one who did not work hard, so that they could find life from all kinds of death.
But now these princes and ministers, born in a greenhouse, with fine wine and food, gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes, how rich and noble, the martial spirit of their ancestors has been completely lost.
Luo Su was already in the midst of the anger of the destruction of Bang Zhou and the overthrow of the Luo clan, so he immediately replied to the Marquis of Qi: "Uncle, regarding the follow-up of the Dog Rong Rebellion, the Regency Council has given you full powers.
But I am really angry with these western princes, and my thoughts are tumbling in my heart, and I have to say, these words are for your reference.
First, I suggest that those princes who have abandoned their country and left with almost no resistance should report their lists to Luoyi, and give evil to them.
Since these people didn't know that the princes had the responsibility to defend the land, they directly seized the lord and removed the country and abolished them as concubines.
Second, the princes who resist unfavorably but suffer heavy losses or even die in battle, arrange for his eldest son to inherit the state, but rebuke his family and lower his glory.
The princes of the marquis, in turn, were demoted, and some of their property was confiscated, and the barons were not demoted, but half of their fiefs were to be cut.
Thirdly, the princes who resisted fiercely were rewarded with goods and slaves according to their merits to make up for their losses.
Fourth, deprive the princes of Zhenxi of the king's orders, severely reprimand him, and confiscate a lot of property in the country established by his princes, but do not touch him, the western defense line still needs his participation.
Fifth, to appease the Ruoqiang tribe, we can reaffirm our friendship and be willing to provide them with food and salt for the winter; The Black Qiang Department should be strictly held accountable, whether it is to be an enemy of Bang Zhou.
Sixth, we must not let go of the current attack on the dog Rong, and after integrating the forces of the western princes, we must take the initiative to attack and exterminate those tribes that have always been dissatisfied with Bangzhou. ”
This punishment is not insignificant, but Luo Su knows that only if he has enough prestige to do so, if he is not severe, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Luo Su's opinion was highly valued by Qi Hou Lu Bai, and the attacks of different categories also prevented those western princes from forming an offensive and defensive alliance.
"Taishi's attack is really ruthless, a large number of princes in the west were directly taken away from the country, and some were deposed as concubines, which is said to be an indulgence of dogs."
"The rest of the vassal states can only be said to be not so miserable, this time at least ten years of pioneering work is gone."
"Who let them just commit the biggest taboo of the Luo country, indulging in the dog Rong cholera Wang Ji, his heart can be punished."
There are many people talking about it everywhere in Wangji, and this incident has raised Luosu's deterrent power by a higher level, but at the same time, it has also made some people vigilant.
……
"Did you hear that?
Some time ago, the patriarch of the Wang clan went to the mansion of the Duke of Taishi Luo, saying that he hoped to be able to be feuded outside. ”
"What is he crazy about, he didn't leave when so many big nobles were divided at the same time in the first year, and now he is leaving?"
"Didn't he see the fate of the Qi family? It was only given to seventy libo of a barbarian land, and there was indeed no problem in terms of etiquette.
However, the Daqing family, whose ancestors had three dukes, is too far behind the twelve princes in the first year. ”
"It is said that Taishi Luogong invited seventeen families that year, and later twelve of them left the town. For the rest, it's okay to keep to their own two families.
The Qi clan and the Wang clan actually wanted to encroach on the land of the twelve families, as well as the vacated position in Jinnai.
I really don't know whether to live or die.
What kind of character Luo Gong is, the two major clans have been suppressed enough in the past few years, and they can't hold it anymore, so they want to leave. ”
"These big clans have committed too many things, their power is intertwined, and there are countless small clans standing with them.
But in the first year, the twelve Qing clans left the town, and their traditional political allies basically left.
In addition, in the past few years, many small clans have been sent to the vassal states to serve as the Qing clan, and these big Qing clans have long lost their former glory. ”
"Without Luo Gong's drastic moves, let's not talk about entering the Qingshiliao, we can't even get a piece of mining, it's really desperate at that time."
"The ancestor Su Wang, the contemporary Luo Gong, no wonder the rumors say that when the Luo Kingdom is destroyed, Bang Zhou's Mandate of Heaven will end, which is indeed reasonable."
"Be careful! Bang Zhou's destiny will exist as eternal as the sun! ”
Luosu, who has often become the private talk of Bangzhou Wangji and other countries, is facing the biggest crisis since he came to power.
And Losu is well aware that the crisis is not a single interest group, but from all directions.
If it weren't for the high prestige and the strong strength of the Luo Kingdom, he would have died a long time ago.
The Qi clan was sealed to Yue by him, and one branch of the Wang clan was sealed to Wu by him, Wu Yue is a more wild area than Chu State, and these two families naturally hate him to the bone.
But Luo Su didn't care, the Wang clan and the Qi clan were both powerful Qing clans, and the Wu Yue they established was in the east and the Chu State was in the west, so they could choke the throat of the Nanban.
Especially in the south of the river, Fang Guo, which retains the culture of the Yin Shang period, is even more important to seal the Wang family, a clansman surnamed Ji, in Wu as a surveillance.
At that time, the western princes deliberately indulged in the rebellion, a total of two counts, five viscounts, twelve barons were taken away from the country, seven of them were deposed as concubines, and the rest were edicted to seize the land, fines, demoted, and punished nobles.
The effect was also significant, Wangji's financial problems were greatly alleviated, and the royal family recovered a lot of land from the Daqing family.
However, after Wangji's military strength was restored, Luo Su began to reclaim the power that had been transferred during the Xiong Rebellion and re-dispatched ministers to the various vassal states.
He also hoped to make some changes to the Shiqing Shilu system in Wangji, and he hoped to change the fundamental system of Bangzhou.
From here, the vassal states and the nobles of the Ginai princes began to rebel, and even the Marquis of Qi and the Duke of Song began to disagree with some of his policies.
The Marquis of Qi and the Duke of Song were his most important allies, and the alliance of the Three Kingdoms and the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven of Wang Ji were his military guarantees.
Although Shenhou is also one of them, Shenhou's prestige is far from being comparable to that of Qihou.
Luo Su didn't have much anger in his heart, he tried, but in addition to the direct descendants of the Luo family, even the princes of the Luo country were opposed.
This is the reality, and the inherent flaws of Bang Zhou cannot be changed by the ruling class itself.
Xia Shang's defects were completed by the Tang Wu Revolution, and as for Bang Zhou's, he did not know.
……
Luo Su tidied up his clothes, and then took the chariot to the palace, where the Queen Regent set up a banquet.
The banquet was held for the ministers and ministers of Kinai, as well as the princes of Kinai who came to Nakyi to participate in the ceremony of the coronation of Ji Xi and the pro-government.
But Luo Su knew in his heart that this was for himself, and this was an ultimatum for everyone to themselves.
Luo Su knew that it was time to abandon the radical reforms, or the reforms that were not radical and could continue the Mandate of Heaven would also fail.
As soon as Luo Su arrived, the princes and ministers rushed up one after another.
"Luo Gong, this is specially dedicated to you from a certain country brought from the country."
"Luo Gong, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still have the same demeanor, just like this thriving Bang Zhou Guozuo."
They enthusiastically expressed their enthusiasm and kindness to Luo Su, as if the undercurrents were not started by them.
Luo Su returned the salute one by one.
He thought in his heart, he didn't know how many people would have descendants among such nobles after a thousand years.
I don't know which descendants of the Luo family will sweep these nobles who are unwilling to keep pace with the times into the dustbin of history?
Tonight's banquet was very lively, the moonlight was very bright, and Luo Su's statement made everyone in the banquet feel as if they were living in a round of moon.
……
From the historical records, we can clearly know that Luo Housu was the most advanced of the slave-owning aristocracy, and he was keenly aware of the inherent flaws of slavery and tried to change it.
His reforms cannot be said to have failed, the system of the Western Zhou Dynasty has indeed undergone many changes, but we can still see that he was a slave-owning aristocrat, and all his reforms existed to safeguard the interests of slave owners.
So after widespread opposition, especially from those who supported his reforms, he was able to realize that social change had not yet reached this point, and decisively halted some of the more radical reforms.
However, his family always retained these policies, and after the advent of iron tools and the great progress of productivity, he succeeded in leading the entire Zhuxia kingdom to start the pace of deslavery.
He was one of the most advanced people of his time, without it. -- "Institutional Reform in the Pre-Qin Period"
