The monarch of the Luo clan is a prince on the outside and a minister on the inside.

Da Zongzheng, in charge of the affairs of Zhou Zhuji, is responsible for all sacrifices.

In the palace, Luo Cheng met the current son Ji Ni for the first time as the Son of Heaven.

He is the eldest son of King Xuan, and his mother is the daughter of the monarch of Qi.

The king of the wilderness has no children, and according to the patriarchal sequence, King Xuan is the heir and inherits the unification.

In order to repair the relationship with the Qi State, under the mediation of the Luo State, King Xuan married the concubine of the Qi State.

However, the state of Qi hated the king of the wilderness deeply, and not only asked for evil, but also asked to remove his royal title, and Luohou stopped the move to go to the king's name.

In the end, the desolate king was not buried in the royal tomb, but directly died on the rooftop.

This is to let Heaven punish him with wind, rain, snow and electricity, and use it to atone for the sins he has committed.

Luo Cheng and the current Ji Nie still have a very close relationship, the Queen Mother Qi Jiang is the sister of Luo Cheng's wife, and the current Luo Shizi and the Son of Heaven Ji Nie are cousins.

Among the current princes and ministers of Bangzhou, the only ones who can reach this level of closeness are probably those brothers of Ji Ne.

For more than a hundred years, Luo's status in Wangji has been declining slowly, gradually declining from the undisputed first nobleman to the current top noble.

Although the Luo clan is no longer an irreplaceable clan in Wangji, the successive emperors still cannot ignore the Luo country.

Because Luo Guo is still one of the most important Fang countries with the surname Ji in the East.

The four kingdoms of Jin, Song, Luo, and Qi have become stronger and stronger over the past century, and the Luo State has forced the Wei State to migrate to the east, and the Marquis of Han and Xing to the north are all vassals of the Luo State.

The marriage between the Luo State and the Qi State is not only a marriage between the offices, but also a marriage between the Qing clans, which can be called an unbreakable alliance.

Otherwise, the king of the wilderness cooked and killed Qi Aigong, how could it be that Luo Hou said a few words of peace and passed it so simply?

In view of this, the royal family has always maintained enough respect for Luohou.

This is a family banquet, the Queen Mother Qi Jiang, the Son of Heaven Ji Nie, the Queen Shen Jiang, and the three most distinguished members of the royal family all attended, which is a kind of attention to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng took his wife Luo Jiang to attend this family banquet.

Graceful maids are dancing, and musicians are chanting beautiful music.

"Great King, thou art forever blessed by the destiny of heaven, thou art blessed and rich for all generations, and thou art as bright as the sun."

Under the sacred liturgical bells, the five people's moods are different.

Especially Queen Shen Jiang, she is the daughter of Shen Hou, and now she is the queen, and her status is noble, second only to Queen Mother Qi Jiang, but she is not happy.

Because Ji Ne didn't like her, he even exiled the crown prince to the Shen Kingdom.

Ji Nie doted on the concubine even more, and even said in private that she wanted to abolish her throne.

This made her feel a crisis.

If her throne is abolished, then her son's crown prince will inevitably be abolished.

At that time, there will be a huge Wangji, where is their place?

Her father was a prince of Kiwai, and it was impossible for her to raise an army to rebel because of these private rumors, so she needed to find a strong reinforcement in Kinai.

Lo Achievement is her goal!

And she is very confident that the Luo clan has always been the defender of the patriarchal system, and the successive Luohou have been famous for maintaining Zhou rites.

She didn't even need to do anything, her son was the eldest son, and Luo Cheng would naturally maintain his status.

But she is a wise woman, Luo Cheng doesn't need it, it doesn't mean that she really doesn't do anything, and it is essential to release kindness appropriately.

The Queen Mother Qi Jiang and her sister have not seen each other for a long time, and now they are talking cordially, and she is the most welcome for Luo Cheng to come to Wangji.

Because she thinks that Luo Cheng is really her own person, she is much closer to those favored ministers of the current Son of Heaven Ji Ne.

In recent years, the royal family has had a hard time, and the reform plan that the previous Luohou failed to complete, the queen mother Qi Jiang pinned her hopes on Luocheng.

"Love, my sister values you very much, it seems that this trip to Wangji can fulfill your long-cherished wish."

Luo Jiang looked at her husband with tender eyes, she had always known that the men of the Luo family all regarded King Su as a god, hoping to be able to prosper Bang Zhou.

Now if her sister, who is the queen mother, is willing to give her husband more power, then Zhongxing Bangzhou must be even simpler.

As for her husband's abilities, she had never doubted that nothing had been hard for him since the two had married as teenagers.

Luo Cheng gently held his wife's hand and laughed softly: "The Queen Mother doesn't value it enough, the Son of Heaven is already an adult, and without the name of regent, the Queen Mother can't contribute much." ”

Luo Cheng's gaze fell on the Son of Heaven Ji Nie, and he could feel that this Son of Heaven, who was no longer a teenager, really didn't like him very much.

The Son of Heaven Ji Ne really didn't like Luo Cheng, for the same reason as Queen Shen Jiang, Luo Cheng was a defender of the patriarchal law and paid attention to Zhou etiquette.

He thought that Zhou Li was a constraint on him, and that as a monarch he should be supreme, not like this, and he had to take a lot of care into dealing with a courtier.

In the past dynasties, Luo Hou was a great sect, and when Luo Lin was there, he once taught Ji Nie Lile, Ji Nie was stubborn, and Luo Lin was naturally more strict with him.

Now as soon as he saw Luo Cheng at a glance, he remembered Luo Linlai, and he naturally didn't like such a minister.

Thinking of this, Ji Ne decided to show off a wave of commotion.

"Luohou, you are a strong branch of the clan surnamed Ji.

Coming from the far east to assist the widow, according to etiquette, the widow should give you the high position of the third duke.

However, the second of the three dukes has been given to his maternal father, Duke Qi and his father-in-law, Duke Shen.

Although neither of them was on duty in Wangji, how could they be deprived of their public positions?

This is not in line with etiquette. ”

Ji Nie opened his mouth, Luo Cheng knew what he wanted to do, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he replied with a warm smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the minister really agrees with your words, Duke Qi and Duke Shen are your elders, and it is advocated by Zhou Li to commend them with a noble status."

The minister is a great sect, and he will definitely spread your benevolence among the Ji clan. ”

Luo Cheng secretly thought that if he said this, even if Ji Ne had some bad intentions, at least he would restrain himself.

But he doesn't know that the horror of a stupid person is that he doesn't understand what you say.

So hearing Luo Cheng's words, Ji Ne not only didn't stop, but also laughed at Luo Cheng in his heart that he didn't know what he wanted to say.

"When the king was declared first, Duke Wu was brave enough to do things, and all the princes and nobles praised him as another ruler after Duke Wen.

After the reign of Duke Wu, the widow appointed his eldest son, Yu Shifu, to succeed him as the third duke.

Yu Shi's father is diligent in political affairs, has a noble character, does not seek fame and fortune, and is really a widowed Luowen Gong.

How could a widow bear to deprive him of his honor?

The secretary is full, and these official positions are not enough to match your status.

The widow hopes that you can serve as the governor of Taishiliao and hand over the history of the country to Luohou, so that the widow can rest assured. ”

Luo Chengzheng raised his glass for a moment, without a trace of expression on his face, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

Ji Ne used his official position to suppress himself, he didn't care, this was just a matter of words, and it didn't have much impact on what he was going to do next.

But Father Yu Shi is a treacherous and perverse, good at flattery, greedy for profit, and is really a big mediocre minister.

Ji Nie actually compared Luo Wengong to it.

This is the second ancestor of the Luo clan after the ancestor Su Wang.

Ji Ne himself may not know that due to Ji Zhao's existence, the Luo clan is extremely sensitive to the reputation of the ancestors.

So what he said today is something that Luo Cheng can't tolerate!

Queen Mother Qi Jiang and Queen Shen Jiang opened their mouths from Ji Nie to say Luo Wengong, and they felt bad.

They have intermarried with Luo Guo for generations, and they know very well how much Luo Guo attaches importance to their ancestors, and they know that Ji Ne has committed a taboo.

"Beloved."

Luo Jiang held Luo Cheng's palm with some concern, from the tight flesh and the bruised tendons on the back of her hand, she knew that Luo Cheng would definitely not be able to bear it.

Sure enough, Luo Cheng gently shook her hand, let go of her long body and got up.

As if there was no trace of anger in his heart, and still the perfect and personable manners that no one could find fault with, he saluted Ji Ne and said, "Your Majesty, the first king once said that you should treat the sages with the same respect as you would your own father.

The ancestor of the minister, Luo Wengong, is the important minister of the Zhao Dynasty, a lifetime of meritorious service, King Zhao with the ability of the heavens and latitudes, give the 'Wen', after the king, only one person.

You compare yourself with Duke Wu, although the minister is unhappy, but after all, Duke Wu is famous and has made great contributions to Bang Zhou, so the minister will not say more.

But the father of the stone, the person who flatters the evil master, and the person who flies and camps the dog.

Chen's ancestor is a flawless piece of jade, and the father of Yu Shi is the gravel that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Luo Wengong is like the beautiful bright moon, Father Yu Shi is just a repulse bay in the wilderness, and he is fortunate to reflect the shadow of Wen Gong, which is already a grace given to him by God.

The minister is far inferior to the ancestor Wengong, and he is still unwilling to live under the blue sky with such people, let alone Wengong?

Your Majesty, comparing a person like Father Yu with Duke Wen is a humiliation to a meritorious hero, is this the act of the Holy King?

How sacred are your words?

Every sentence will be engraved in the history books, please be cautious to the king! ”

Although the Queen Mother felt bad, she didn't expect Luohou to be so rigid at all.

Suddenly remembered that the previous generation of Luohou was also like this, as well as the previous generations of Luohou that she had heard from the story and had not seen.

Ji Ne was directly stunned, he didn't expect Luo Cheng to directly point at his nose and scold.

Those who flatter the lord of evil, and those who camp and dogs.

On the surface, this is talking about Father Yushi, but in fact, you are the one who was flattered, and you are still praising him there, you really laughed off your big teeth.

Holy King?

You're just a faint king!

Ji Ne, who reacted, jumped up from his seat in an instant, pointed at Luo Cheng and said angrily: "Luo Cheng, the widow is the Son of Heaven, how dare you be so presumptuous!" ”

Luo Chang stood upright, fearless, and said loudly: "Your Majesty!

The minister is the great Zongzheng surnamed Ji, the minister of Bang Zhou, and it is the duty of the minister to advise the Son of Heaven and maintain the etiquette of the head of the great sect.

Eradicating traitors and supporting the king's road is the ancestral training handed down by King Su.

Do ministers want to abandon the rules of their ancestors? ”

Ji Nie's nose was about to be crooked by Luo Cheng, and he pulled out his sword and pointed it at Luo Cheng, and roared angrily: "Rampant! Furious! Do you think that the widow will not dare to kill you? ”

Luo Cheng's face calmed down, and said: "The first king of the wilderness cooked and killed the Duke of Qi Ai, and the first king of Xuan killed the minister Du Bo by mistake for no reason, and then killed Sikong and Zhu Bo.

The king is the son of heaven, so what should he not dare?

Is the king going to kill his ministers now?

It seems that the minister will become the first person in the heavenly court among the nine generations of Luohou. ”

In Luo Cheng's words, the fate of King Desolate and King Xuan was not very good.

Especially the matter of Qi Aigong, the Queen Mother Qi Jiang was a little unbearable, that was her ancestor.

Not to mention Ji Nie, his face is immediately stagnant.

The Queen Mother Qi Jiang hurriedly grabbed Ji Ne's sleeve and persuaded: "Wang'er, Luohou is an important minister of Bang Zhou, don't be so rude."

Back then, you were considered unknown by the previous king, but it was Luohou Lin who interceded with the former king, so you were not abandoned.

You are respectful kings and ministers, and it is only because of your father that there is a dispute.

According to the palace, let Yu Shi's father apologize to Luohou, and the monarch and ministers can get back together. ”

Ji Ne held the sword in his hand and trembled slightly, even if he was stupid, but Yin Jian was not far away, and he knew that there were a few princes who could not be killed.

Back then, the king of the wilderness cooked and killed the Duke of Qi Ai, which caused the princes to feel cold, and finally he was driven to fend for himself by the princes of Jinnai, and no one went to save him.

King Xuan Xingbang Zhou, when his prestige was prosperous, he killed the minister Du Bo indiscriminately, Du Bo's son fled to the Jin Kingdom, and the Marquis of Jin shielded him, and King Xuan did not ask again.

This is the lesson learned from the King of the Wilderness.

The Marquis of Qi and the Marquis of Jin can't kill indiscriminately, besides, this is Luohou!

Among the kingdoms of Zhuxia, Luohou is a special existence, and there are too many miraculous things in this family.

There is even a faint legend that King Su has always paid attention to Luo's!

To a certain extent, the Luo clan represents the mandate of heaven of Bang Zhou, and the prestige cultivated by the nine generations of Luohou is too high.

Today he dares to kill Luo Cheng in the court, and tomorrow the princes will attack him in groups, and King Li and King Desolate are his ends.

So, he coaxed.

At this time, Queen Shen Jiang also came over to persuade Ji Nie, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Luohou is also loyal, and the words of anger are all relatives surnamed Ji, so forget it." ”

persuaded Ji Nie on his lips, but his eyes stared at the gentle Luo Cheng with a look of surprise, "Sure enough, a person like Luo Hou can become the backing of the prince." ”

This Luo Cheng's actions made Queen Shen Jiang value him even more, how many of these important ministers can stand up to the Son of Heaven?

Luo Ben didn't want to clash with Ji Nie so soon, but tonight's short contact made him disappointed in Ji Ne, and he was not even as good as the faint stage in the late Xuan Dynasty, and he didn't look like a human king.

Ji Nie's face was blue and black for a while, he threw down his sword heavily, and left the palace directly with a cold snort.

Luo Chengcheng seemed to have nothing to do, and calmly bowed to Qi Jiang and Shen Jiang and said, "Queen Mother, Queen, since the king has left, it is inconvenient for the ministers to stay longer, so I will return to the mansion." ”

Qi Jiang said apologetically: "Luohou Mo should care about today's affairs, Wang Er was just temporarily confused by Father Yushi, this palace believes that with a loyal and capable minister like Luohou, the king will definitely be able to become a virtuous king." ”

Luo Cheng bowed again, "The Queen Mother trusts the minister so much, it really makes the minister feel ashamed.

The ancestral training of the minister is to be loyal to the king, and the queen mother and queen will not say it, and the minister will also persuade the son of heaven a lot. ”

"Then please Luohou."

Queen Mother Qi Jiang and Queen Shen Jiang returned the salute to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng and his wife left the palace.

An unhappy feast......
