Chapter Twenty-Eight: Praise

Probably sorted out some serious problems in Wang Ji, and Luo Cheng met with Luo's allies in Ji with a heavy heart.

At present, the princes of Wangji are completely different from a hundred years ago, at the beginning they were just a piece of mining estate, less than 50 li of land, and the power of the princes and nobles mainly relied on the official positions passed down from generation to generation.

However, with the successive generations of emperors giving the land in Wangji, and the serious annexation of the land in Jinai, the princes of Jinai are now real princes.

They had control over a large area of land, titles, and the status of the rulers of the Kinai, which was in fact no different from the princes outside the Kinai.

Luo Cheng wants to do things, so he naturally needs their support.

said that since the night banquet in the palace, Luo Jiang has often entered the palace to talk to Shen Jiang, mainly to calm Shen Jiang's heart and give everyone a signal.

That is, Ji Yi's storage position was protected by the Luo family.

This trick is really useful, since Ji Yi has not been in the pickaxe capital for many years, there are naturally many people with a heart undercurrent.

Now these things are hidden.

But this incident has attracted the attention of Bao Xi, and the relationship between her and Shen Jiang's mother and son is endless, so she naturally can't tolerate the current situation.

It's just that she also knows Luo's reputation, and she can only be secretly anxious and irritable, a woman who is gradually losing her mind is terrible, and something that Luo Cheng never imagined happened.

……

On this day, Ji Nie came to the palace and saw Bao Xi weeping in the curtain.

When Bao Xi was born, Ji Zhao had seen that her beauty was not something that could be created in the world at all, it was a person with good luck descended from heaven.

The country and the city can't describe her one ten-thousandth, and now the tears are rippling, it's really pitiful, not to mention Ji Ni?

Ji Nie came to Bao Xi's side, held Bao Xi's soft hand, and said distressedly: "Ai Fei, what can make you cry?"

The widow is rich from all over the world, and whatever you want, you can get it. ”

Bao Xi threw herself into Ji Ni's arms and sobbed: "Your Majesty, the concubine was originally just a woman from a small country in the west of Bangzhou.

To be fortunate enough to marry the king is a gift from heaven.

Because she was favored by you by mistake and gave birth to a child, the queen became jealous of her concubines.

The concubine's status was humble, and she was afraid of upsetting the king, so she didn't dare to argue with the queen, but she didn't expect the queen to become more and more excessive.

Recently, Mrs. Luo Guo entered and exited the queen's palace, and the queen had a lot of resentment in her words.

also said that he would recall the prince and avenge her, the prince had been in the Shen Kingdom for so many years and resented his concubines.

If he returns, the lives of the concubines, mothers and sons will hang by a thread.

The life and death of the concubine is not important, but Fu'er is your prince, and please ask the king to be the master of the concubine's mother and son. ”

Ji Nie picked up Bao Xi's face, wiped away her tears, and said softly: "Concubine Ai, don't worry, if there is a widow, Ji Yi will always be in Shenguo, and the widow will not let him return to Haojing."

As for Luohou, although he is powerful, the Luo family has the most important rules and abides by the way of the monarch and the minister, and it will not be unfavorable to the concubine. ”

Bao Xi was obsessed and lamented: "Your Majesty, you are the son of heaven, so naturally no one can disobey your orders.

But after you live for a thousand years, you will be the prince as the king, and on that day, the concubine and the mother and son will definitely die and have no place to be buried. ”

After speaking, he began to cry, and a few lines of tears seemed to fall directly on Ji Nie's heart.

Ji Nie hugged Bao Xi in her arms, and remembered Shen Guo's disrespect and control over her, and she hated her even more, and sighed: "Ai Concubine, the widow has long wanted to abolish Shen Jiang, how can the daughter of the Rong people be the queen?"

Moreover, the Marquis of Shen relied on the strength of the country, and he had Rong people as in-laws, so he was disrespectful to the widow.

If you can, if you are willing to make you queen and prince at once, that is a beautiful thing.

But Shen Jiang was the minister of King Xuan, she was not at fault, and if the widow abolished her throne, I am afraid that the ministers would not agree.

Especially Luohou, who must admonish the widow with Zhou etiquette, what should he do at that time? ”

A trace of cold light flashed in Bao Xi's eyes, which quickly disappeared, and she raised her head softly from Ji Ni's arms.

There was still a layer of mist in his reddish eyes, and his eyes were full of thirst for life, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhou Li said that it is in line with the way of heaven for courtiers to obey the words of the monarch; It is not right for a monarch to listen to his courtiers.

The courtiers should advise the monarch, but the monarch should make the final decision.

Even if the courtiers are unwilling, they should obey the decision of the monarch, which is in line with etiquette.

If the courtiers admonish, you can say no, so that you will not hurt your feelings with the courtiers.

When things settle down, no one will tell you any more. ”

When Ji Ne heard this, he only felt that this was said in his heart, so he was overjoyed and said: "Concubine Ai is so smart, this statement is really insightful. The widow will inform Father Yu Shi tomorrow and announce it to the world. ”

Yu Shifu is the only reigning third duke, and from the institutional point of view, he can indeed issue an edict directly.

But it is generally a matter of convening the ministers to discuss before deciding on something, and then starting to go through the process.

Now that Ji Nie has received a hint of praise, he really issued an edict directly, and he didn't expect the follow-up result at all.

Bao Xi smiled at this time, seeing this beautiful scenery, Ji Nie's heart was very happy, and she was even more proud.

……

The next day, a decree came out from the Heavenly Officials and spread all over the world.

Wang Zhao said:

Queen Shen Jiang, who was originally a woman of the Rong people, was able to become the queen of the son of heaven in Bangzhou because of the grace of the king first, and was favored by the mandate of heaven.

But she didn't miss the kindness of the Heavenly Family, but because Ji Yi was not around, she had resentful words towards the Son of Heaven, and even cursed the Son of Heaven.

How vicious!

Can such an unvirtuous woman become a queen?

But Nian gave birth to Wang Ziyi for the widow, and Yu Ji has a blood contribution.

According to the rules of the ancestors, the widow abolished her as queen and sent her into the cold palace for reflection.

Bang Zhou could not live without a queen for a day, and his wife was a virtuous woman, born in the country of Zhuxia, and the heavens favored her, and the widow canonized her as the queen.

King Su set the patriarchal system, and the concubine was given by God to inherit the status.

Since ancient times, sons have been honored because of their mother's bloodline.

Now Shen Jiang is just a sinner, Wang Ziyi is just the son of a sinner, and he is still the crown prince, which is not in harmony with etiquette.

Ji Fu's mother is the queen, and he is the eldest son of the widow, and with him as the crown prince, it must be recognized by God.

The widow canonized the queen and the crown prince for the sake of Bang Zhou's society.

Use this edict to inform the kingdoms of Zhuxia, so that all the princes of the world will know about it, and celebrate the new queen and crown prince of Bangzhou. ”

This edict is like a meteorite falling on a calm lake, and the lake does not produce the slightest ripple, because the entire lake has been smashed!

Rock's House.

After the unhappy night banquet in the palace, Luo Cheng has been meeting with his allies, but not with Ji Ne.

He made a list of the influential princes and ministers of Bangzhou, sketched them one by one, and selected those who he needed.

One person can't do anything, if you want to achieve a political goal, the first thing is to form a political group, and Luo Cheng is now choosing his own people.

As for Queen Shin Kang's affairs, he just asked his wife to do it.

He believed that when he saw his attitude, as long as he still had brains, he would not act rashly.

He was in the study calculating the possible situation, when his wife Luo Jiang suddenly walked in, with a look of eagerness.

"Beloved, just now the king issued a decree to abolish the queen Shen Jiang and the crown prince, and set up the queen as the queen, and the prince as the prince."

"What?"

Even with Luo Cheng's calmness, he was stunned, and he couldn't believe what he heard at all.

He stretched out his hand to take the will brought by his wife, and looked at it in a hurry, and found that it was actually a legitimate edict.

"Bypass the princes and ministers and directly order the heavenly officials to give an order?"

"Not only did he abolish the rear position, but he also directly insulted Shen Guo?"

"Is he crazy?"

Such disrespectful words came directly from Luo Cheng's mouth, and he really couldn't care about it.

For a calm person like him, even if he thought about it for ten days and ten nights, it was impossible to figure out why Ji Ne would issue such an edict.

Is he crazy?

He really doesn't know which is more important, Shen Guo or Bao Guo?

Not to mention other ministers, just when his father was in Hokyung, he talked to Ji Ne about the importance of Shen Kingdom!

This matter was so sudden, and with his eyes, he could immediately see the deep crisis in it.

You must know the reason why he is willing to maintain Shen Jiang's position and Ji Yi's position as the crown prince.

First of all, this is stipulated by the patriarchal law, and it is his duty to defend it.

The second is Shen Jiang's father, the Shen State where Shen Hou is located, occupies an extremely important position in his future ruling territory.

At least within ten years, Shenhou must be stable!

Even if you are dissatisfied with his self-respect, you will clean him up in the future.

Luo Cheng needed to protect Queen Shen Jiang and the crown prince Ji Yi to get Shen Hou to stand on his side, but now they are all in vain.

Seeing her husband's heavy expression, Luo Jiang was also a little panicked, and said repeatedly: "Beloved, what should I do now?" But there is room for manoeuvre? ”

Luo Cheng put down the edict and sighed lightly, "The edict is issued, and there is no error in the procedure, everything is a certainty."

Although Lone hated Ji Ni and Yu Shi's father, he couldn't trample the majesty of the Son of Heaven so clearly.

Moreover, this insulting will must have already been passed to the Shen Kingdom, and even if an edict is issued now, it will be too late to revoke the will and redeem the matter.

Xijun, Hojing will inevitably become a place of right and wrong, and later Lone will arrange a sergeant to protect you and return to Luoguo, there may be danger here, Lone can't watch you fall into danger. ”

Seeing that Luo Cheng had already begun to arrange a way back for himself, Luo Jiang suddenly knew in his heart that it was really bad, so he cried and said, "King Su said that husband and wife are one.

Now that you are in danger, but you let the concubine hide alone, do you want the concubine to become a lowly person without virtue? ”

"You don't have to be like this, with the blessing of the ancestor of the lonely king, you can turn evil into good fortune. It is also important for you to go first and return to the country to teach your children and grandchildren well. ”

After Luo Cheng's several persuasions, Luo Jiang cried and returned to Luo with the sergeant.

As Luo Jiang's figure disappeared, Luo Cheng's face instantly turned cold, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

He summoned a few guards, quickly wrote a few letters, and handed them to the guards, asking them to be delivered to several princes.

Ji Nie's operation was to throw a torch directly into a powder keg that was about to blow up.

There are many vassals in the Quartet of Hojing Wangji, including the Jin State in the east, the Zheng State that has not migrated, and the vassal states that were divided by the Luowen Duke at the beginning, such as the Zhou State and the Li State, etc., and the Fei State in the west, and the Bao State in the southwest.

Together, these princes guarded the Rong Di of the Quartet for the Son of Heaven.

However, none of these vassal states were Shen Guo, which was important to the current Wangji.

Because the geographical location of Shen is very important, it is in the northwest of Wanggi.

Among the Rong forces in all directions of Wangji, the power of the Northwest Dog Rong is the most powerful.

Shen Guo was able to survive in that place, firstly, because Shen Guo was strong, and secondly, because Shen Guo was surnamed Jiang and was originally born in Jiang Rong, so it was very common for Shen Guo to marry Fang Guo in Dog Rong.

Wang Ji used Shen Guo to ease the conflict with the Northwest Dog Rong, and the two sides did not use swords and soldiers in these years, which allowed Wang Ji to free up his hands to clean up the Rong forces in other directions.

The sharp swords that stabbed at Wang Ji from all directions, the sharpest of which were blocked by Shen Guo.

Therefore, Shen Guo is Wang Ji's shield to save his life.

The other vassal state in the northwest was Zeng, but Zeng and Shen were on good terms, and the two countries had always advanced and retreated together.

Once Shen Guo and Wang Ji turned their faces, the northwest gate of the entire Wang Ji was instantly opened.

It may be that Ji Ne has never seen the situation of the Northwest Dog Rong entering the Kou, and he has no intuitive feeling about the role of Shen Guo, so he despises it so much.

Most of those ministers who knew the situation of Shen Guo were belittled by Ji Ne, or left Ji Ni directly.

The reason why Luo Cheng sent a letter to the princes was that he was worried that if Shen Guo and Dog Rong attacked Wang Ji together, the situation would be unimaginable.

This is not that Luo Cheng is alarmist, with the fragile trust between Shen Guo and Wang Ji, this matter is very likely to come true.

Shen Guo was originally a great nobleman who migrated from Wangji during the period of Luowen Gong.

A generation of people has worked hard to open up the country along Jingshui, and now it has become a big country with hundreds of miles in square.

In addition, the Shen family who stayed in Wangji was a large sect in Bang Zhou, but after more than 100 years, the two sides gradually drifted apart, and then Wangji's Shen family lost power.

The communication between Shen and Wang Ji gradually decreased, and Shen Guo opened up in the land of Xirong, and it was inevitable that there would be blood intermingling with the Xirong tribe.

Moreover, the surname Jiang is originally from Xirong.

Because of some friction, Wang Ji conquered the Shen State and humiliated the Shen State by calling it Shen Rong.

Since then, the relationship between the two sides has become tense.

This incident made Luo Hou speechless at that time, which was exactly the same as what happened to Xiong Dun more than a hundred years ago.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Shen Guo does not have a god of war like Xiong Dun, so Wang Ji was not defeated.

But the beams between the two sides ended in this way, and that period of time was also the strongest time for the dog to enter the Kou.

It wasn't until the mediation of many parties that Queen Shen Jiang married into Bang Zhou and gave birth to her eldest son Ji Yi, the relationship between the two sides finally eased.

In recent years, Shen Guo has intermarried with both the dog Rong and the royal family, and the northwest is still relatively stable, and the external pressure on Wang Ji is much less.

Now it's been by Ji Nie's sassy operation, and it's directly ruined.

Luo Cheng just sent a letter to the princes, that is, to let them lead the army to serve the king.

Once Shenhou really rebels, he will not only have to face the allied forces of Shen Zeng and the two countries, but also those dogs who are like a tide.

In the past, the favored sister liked to die in the summer, and the pet Da had died in the business, and the king now favored the concubine, and the matter of the concubine was seen again, and the disaster of the summer merchant was not on a different day. - "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty"
