Chapter 45: The world is a chessboard, and the princes are chess pieces

Luoguo, Zhaocheng.

This is the undisputed largest city in the country of Luo, and the entire Luoguo clan is inhabited by more than eight layers of people.

In particular, the eleventh monarch Luoyang set out to restore the population of the Gong clan, rewarded a large amount of land in the office, and increased the preferential treatment of the children of the Gong clan in the past.

After so many years of recuperation, the number of young children of the Luoguo clan gradually recovered, and the Luoguo finally had the capital to manipulate the world again.

The current reigning Luohou is named Luoxiu, and he is the thirteenth monarch of Luoguo.

[Ability attributes: Power Fight: 90 (88+2) (+2 is an attribute card boost); Governance: 84; Imperial People: 82; Command: 80; Force: 84; Military strategy: 83.

(1) The royal family: cold; (2) Royalty: Neutral; (3) Princes: Neutral; (4) Army: friendly; (5) Chinese people: respect.

Family Prestige:

The current Luo family is divided into three branches: the Luo family, the Chu family, and the Ying family.

However, in the other two countries, Luo's and the new generation of heirs no longer have red dots, which is proof of the loss of King Su's blessing.

Now living in the Luoguo Mansion in the country, there are 15 adult men and 17 minors, the first is the contemporary Luohou Xiu, he has three adult sons-in-law, namely Prince Xi, Gongzige, and Gongziyun.

There is a younger brother who is a close brother, his younger brother has four adult sons-in-law, and the other is Luo Xiu's two cousins, and his four cousins, these 15 people are all in Ji Zhao's system, and they are also the 15 people he can use to give the blessing of his ancestors.

With Ji Zhao's increasing influence on the head of the family, the inheritance law of the Luo Kingdom now belongs to the inheritance law of the eldest son, which is parallel to the inheritance law of the ancestors.

Although Luo Xiu's attributes are not geniuses, he is the second son of destiny in Luo's more than 300 years, and he began to sleep from the Luoyang period until Luo Xiu was born and awakened by the system.

Over the years, he has not only paid attention to Luo Xiu, but also always paid attention to the Luo clan, it can be said that he is disappointed, and he can't say that he is bad, but in the world of great controversy in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, mediocrity is backwardness.

The talents of these 15 people are not bad, basically they all have one or two attributes in more than 80, and the personal strength of one of them has reached 90, but force is actually of little use to the inheritance of a family.

History is the history of ruthless crushing of brainlessness.

However, these children were born in the Luoguo Mansion, and under Luo's education, their vision, ability, and talent can basically be fully exerted, and they will not make any mistakes if they do things in accordance with the rules.

Ji Zhao added two points to Luo Xiu's attributes, after all, the talent gap between 88 and 90 is fatal.

88's attributes, without that kind of whimsical wisdom, can not see through the fog of the times at critical moments, let alone lead the development of the times, and finally a child of destiny appears, and should not be limited by attributes.

In fact, Ji Zhao was very curious when Luo Xiu was born, you must know that the last son of Destiny in the Luo clan was Luo Su, and there is no one of his favorite descendants so far.

The complete Luo Su can be called a bright moon in his time, and he can single-handedly suppress everyone in the world except Xiong Dun.

How can Luo Xiu's relatively mediocre attribute be favored by the heavens?

Ji Zhao has been observing, and then he found out that Luo Xiu is a geek, he is indeed ordinary as a monarch, but he directly fills his talent in terms of "not doing his job".

This was a scholarly monarch, and under his rule, the academic environment of the kingdom of Los Angeles ushered in a great upgrade.

If there is any data, the current state of Luo Guo should be +100% for scholars, +100% for the speed of compiling classics, and +100% for the style of writing.

In particular, the school palace he founded was ostensibly to invite those who had great talents to teach the people of Luoguo to read, but at the same time he encouraged these students to actively discuss national affairs.

This kind of school palace used to be the official school of the Son of Heaven, and the difference between the Luo School Palace is that this is the first school palace that ordinary Chinese people can also enroll.

Those talented scholars and countrymen who had been suppressed by the hierarchy for the past two hundred years were finally able to show their talents.

No matter how you look at it, Ji Zhao feels like a combination of Jixia School Palace and Tai Academy, and it is really worthy of being a child of destiny to be able to do this in this era.

Especially when the school palace was built ten years ago, a message popped up in the system.

[The Sage Academy Palace has been established for ten years, this is the first official academy in history, and its reputation will flow forever in the long river of history. 】

[Xuanjie: Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart (Deep Love, Wisdom Must Hurt): Activate this card to designate one person, and the potential of military strategy and power fighting talent will rise to 99, but the lifespan will not exceed 30 years old. 】

When the system actually rewarded him with a Xuan-level prop, he knew what was called God's father's favorite cub.

Mystery Tier Props!

Eliminate the difference between luck points.

How many merits Luo Cheng has in his life, just pacifying the rebellion of the people in the four directions is enough to leave his name in history, and he also served as the regent, so he got two Xuan-level props.

The difference between the props drawn and the props directly given by the system is quite big, and the props given by these achievements cannot be drawn from the lottery pool.

The strength of Luoguo is expanding, but because Luo Ren declared to the world that "a hundred years will not go to Zhou" in order to draw a clear line with Wang Zi'an, and Luoyang has thoroughly implemented this article, the relationship with the royal family is very cold.

There have been no top talents in the office over the years, and without the blessing of the status of the Son of Heaven, Luo Guo should have ushered in a wave of decline.

However, the three generations of Luohou chose to let go of the political power, and governed the country by selecting talented people from the Gong clan and the Qing clan to serve as the Qing doctors, and the public office controlled the most elite army, including the Luo Guoda warriors.

In addition, the political situation of Luoguo has always been stable, so over the years, the strength of Luoguo has been steadily improved, and some of the territories abandoned in the Luoyang era have gradually been recovered, with more and more populations and stronger and stronger troops.

Since Luo Xiu ascended the throne, he has often knocked on the countries of Weiguo, Hanhou, and Xingguo, and at the same time, the task of suppressing the barbarians and developing Zhuxia, which was limited to strength in the previous decades, has also begun to be re-implemented.

If it weren't for this royal goal, with the underserved office of Weiguo, and quietly occupying the land when Luo Guo was weak, Luo Guo would have been unaccustomed to him.

But over the years, this ultimate goal seems to be getting harder and harder.

With the fall of the royal family, the vassal states fought their own battles, and those barbarians who were like a tide made a comeback, making many princes miserable.

Among the summers, only the powerful countries such as Luo, Jin, and Chu could not be affected by the barbarian invasion, and even increase their strength.

At this point, Lochew believes that the situation cannot be allowed to erode and that the problem must be solved immediately.

In the past, Luohou chose to help the royal family and then unify the royal road of the princes, but Luo Xiu thought that this article was no longer applicable.

Although Luo Guo still tried his best to respect Zhou Li, starting from Luo Ren, the people of insight in the office have clearly felt that the world has changed, and the royal road has gradually become unsuitable for this era.

The whole world has developed towards the trend of decay, and the root of all this is that the royal family has lost its authority and strength.

In the entire Zhuxia kingdoms, there is no longer a role that can unify all the princes.

In the past, this role was jointly held by the royal family and the Luo family, but now Luo Guo really doesn't want to touch the mess of the royal family.

Then someone else has to take on the responsibility.

……

"What?"

Luo Taixi was shocked by his father's remarks.

He asked in disbelief: "Father, is there no blame for killing Qi Hou?" He's a prince of a country, doesn't he need to think about this matter anymore? ”

Luo Xiu snorted coldly and said, "What Qi Hou? It's just a rebel minister who kills the king and seizes the throne. ”

This is true, the current Qi Hou was originally the nephew of the previous Qi Hou, he killed the former Qi Hou and sat in the position of Qi Hou.

This kind of thing between the public offices, killing the king and seizing the throne is very common in the current vassal states.

Luo Xi was puzzled: "But Lu Wuyi has been the Marquis of Qi for several years, what is the use of us assassinating him at this time?" ”

King Xi killed his brother to the throne back then, and now the princes have also recognized the throne of Luoyi, although Lu Wuji killed the king, but after so many years, basically no one cares.

Luo Xiu muttered: "Today's Zhuxia countries are deeply infested by barbarians, and the earth is full of fishy smell.

The hearts of the people in the world are fluctuating, and they have always hoped that someone can stand up, unite the princes of the Quartet, and support the great cause of the king.

Those who can have the strength to do this are just Qi State, Jin State, and Chu State, and Chu State does not consider it, that is Qi Jin.

Now the Jin Kingdom is a little chaotic and can't take on this important task, and now there are not enough bargaining chips in the hands to balance the Jin Kingdom, so I am ready for my father to let the Qi Kingdom do this.

Lu Wuyi, I have given him a few years, but in the past few years, the Qi country has been in turmoil, and the wars with Laiyi have been frequently lost.

This proves that he is an incompetent person, is such a person worthy of the position of the monarch of the State of Qi?

Although Lu Wuyi has not destroyed the relationship with Luo Guo over the years, he has destroyed the relationship between Qi and Yan, how mediocre this is!

Now the dissatisfaction with Lu Wuji in Qi has gradually surfaced, and my tolerance for him has reached the extreme, I think that the situation in Qi has reached the stage of incompatibility, and if we push the boat down the river, he will definitely die. ”

Luo Xi understood this answer, but then asked, "Father, why don't we do it ourselves?" The prestige of the country of Los Angeles must be able to bear this responsibility. ”

Luo Xiu didn't speak, just looked at his son quietly, and Luo Xi quickly figured out the truth, "The royal family? Fame? ”

Luo Xi was still very satisfied with Luo Xi's ability to react so quickly.

"That's right, it's the royal family, and the fame of any one prince alone is not enough to unite the princes.

Even if the princes who were ordered to be ordered by the king in the old year were not enough, if they wanted to unify the princes of the whole world, they had to be under the banner of Zhou Tianzi.

And this thing is done, it is inevitable to coerce the Son of Heaven, which is not good for Luo's reputation. ”

Luo Xi understood, from the beginning of the killing of the crown prince by the king of Luo, the relationship between Luo Guo and the royal family entered the freezing point.

Luo Xiu's great-grandfather Luo Ren once swore that Luo Guo would not go to Zhou for a hundred years, and the world knew that the bronze pillar erected during the Luoyang period was still standing in the city.

Luo Guo naturally would not go to the court to see Zhou Tianzi, and even if the Luo family was a regent in the past, it was reasonable and legal, but now it is obvious that he wants to dominate, and Luo Guo cannot touch this thing.

"Do you want to kill Qi Hou Wujiao, and then send Xiaobai back to China to succeed Qi Hou?" Luo Xi thought of his cousin, the son of Qi who was in exile in Luo.

"That's right, the crown prince of Qi is already dead, as long as he kills Lu Wuyi, Xiaobai can return to China and take the throne."

In the face of the current chaotic world, in addition to the issue of principle, Luo Guo will naturally not stiffly respect Zhou Li.

That's not propriety, it's stupidity.

In the public office, they still strictly enforce the patriarchal system, but they interfere in the affairs of other countries, and they are quite pragmatic.

So what is now in front of Luo Hou is to let Xiaobai, the prince of Qi who has the blood of the Luo family and is close to Luo, return to China and inherit the throne.

Lu Xiaobai returned to China and ascended the throne, with the hard conditions of Qi country's population and land, as long as the monarch is normal and there are a few reliable ministers, the strength of Qi will soon be restored.

As a traditional ally of Luoguo and the nephew of Luohou, the strength of Qi can give Luoguo more room for maneuver.

If the Luo clan helps each other in secret, it will be able to make the Qi State stronger and more prosperous, unify the princes, and dominate the Central Plains.

In the past three hundred years, the Luo family has always helped the royal family in this way, and it is quite experienced, and when the time comes, the Qi State will come forward to worship the Son of Heaven, meet the princes, and unite Zhuxia.

Luo Guo was not only able to express his disdain for the royal family, but also used the power of the royal family to join forces with Qi to dispel the evil feelings that were now permeating the heads of the Zhuxia countries.

This perfect plan, even Ji Zhao sighed, it didn't look like someone with Luo Xiu's attributes could come up with it.

Normally, I really can't think of it, but I can't stand the governance experience books in the Luoguo Office, and it's too normal to stand on the shoulders of giants and show the ability to transcend attributes.

Originally, the most suitable candidate for the plan was the original Prince of Qi, the son born to the real Luo's concubine. Gongzi Xiaobai's mother is Concubine Teng, who married at the same time as her daughter-in-law, and is Luo Xiu's sister-in-law.

But it's no different for Lohu, it's his sister anyway.

"Father, I'll send someone to do it."

Knowing the origin of the matter and his father's plan, Luo Xi immediately prepared to arrange someone to do this, and there are a group of people in Luo who specialize in doing this kind of thing.

And there's a trump card in the office!

……

In Zhaocheng, the capital of Luoguo, it was established by Luoxiu and covers an extremely wide area of Luo's School Palace.

In the country of Luo, the people of the country call the Luoshi Palace an advance of the Luoguo School, and the Luoguo Office also invites those who have talents to teach.

Most of the students were from the princes, Qing, scholars, and countrymen of the Luo Kingdom, and there were also a few children of nobles from other vassal states.

These students usually attend lectures and are free to express their opinions on the articles of the sages in their spare time.

Especially for the interpretation of King Su's classics, the Luoguo Office encourages this kind of behavior, after all, who knows if there are those wise people who are not talented?

If the interpretation is good, the Luoguo Office will never be stingy with rewards.

For the Luo Guo Office, it is just a matter of paying some money to get the wisdom of a wise man, which is a big advantage.

Since they are all children of nobles, most of them will be officials in the future, so what they discuss the most is the planning of Bang Zhou, at least it is also the way to make a country strong.

If there are good opinions that can be adopted, you can even become a doctor from an ordinary Chinese person.

After the end of the day, the students walked out of the school palace in twos and threes, accompanied by two people.

The older man among them has a very extraordinary temperament, if Ji Zhao can see his attributes, he will probably feel that his family is a group of fools.

[Power Fight: 92 (96); Governance: 93(97); Imperial People: 92 (95); Command: 72; Force: 84; Military strategy: 83. 】

This is a super celebrity who is even slightly better than Luo Su!

His name is Guan Zhong, Ji's surname is Guan, his name is Yiwu, his name is Zhong, the Luoguo Clan, and he is still in the Luoguo Clan.

Lu Xiaobai didn't know that his uncle and cousin had already begun to arrange for him, and he was still happily playing in class every day.

He was about to ask Guan Zhong to shoot arrows, but found that Guan Zhong's whole body was wandering, and he was still muttering something.

"Zhong, what are you thinking? So absent-minded. ”

Guan Zhong was awakened from his contemplation, and said incoherently with some excitement: "Xiaobai, today's lecture by Qingling Gong made me wake up like a dream."

When King Yi, the countries of Zhuxia joined hands to crusade against Yidi, and all countries respected the royal family, and for twenty years, the world was under great rule, and Yidi did not dare to intrude.

The king of Yi ascended the throne, the princes did not go to court, and they fought for themselves, so now Yidi is infesting endlessly, and Zhuxia is not shaking, I have never thought of how to solve this problem.

But today Qingling Gong talked about "The Royal Road", and I finally figured it out.

The royal road is not partial, and Xia Yi is not separate!

Now Yidi is prosperous, because the royal family is declining, and the royal road is sluggish, since the royal road is sluggish, then we must use other methods to make up for the royal road.

is really worthy of the ancestor of the king, this is the wisdom of the saint.

The things that have been bothering me for so long are hidden in these words. ”

If Luo Xiu was here, he would definitely be shocked, and he could think of this because of the wisdom crystallization left by the ancestors of the Luo family, and this one came up directly with it.

Lu Xiaobai was even more confused, but he knew that Guan Zhong was a talented person, and he had counted the entire Bang Zhou, and there were few people who could compare.

So he asked curiously, "Ah Zhong, what did you think of?" ”

Guan Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Venerable King! ”

"The King?"

The term is foreign in this day and age.

The royal family in Luoyi suffered the blow of Luoguo Buchao Zhou from the time of its birth, and the king of Luo was close to Zheng Guo, but when it was time to mourn the king, he gradually distanced himself from Zheng Guo.

Now for the princes, no one pays attention to the royal family, although the princes still maintain superficial respect, but even the tribute is perfunctory, and now Guan Zhong actually said such words as respecting the king.

Lu Xiaobai Qi said: "Ah Zhong, after King Yi, the royal family is in chaos, and now even my uncle is not going to serve as the secretary of the Son of Heaven, who else will respect the king?" ”

The uncle in Lu Xiao's vernacular is Luo Xiu, and Luo Guo has this attitude towards the royal family, and the other princes naturally follow suit.

"The royal family is in decline, but he is still the co-lord of the world after all, representing the royal righteousness.

The monarch did not go to Zhou for unspeakable reasons, but the other princes still recognized the royal family, especially when it was not normal for them to ascend the throne themselves.

In the current situation in the world, the royal family can play a great role as a banner, so I will go back and sort out my thoughts and write a "Respect for the King", and then I will trouble Xiaobai to help me hand it over to the monarch. ”

As Luo Xiu's nephew, Lu Xiaobai could see Luo Xiu directly, so Guan Zhong bothered him to help him.

Lu Xiaobai was still leisurely in the Luo Kingdom, but he didn't know that there was already a killing revolving around him in the Qi Kingdom.

Since Luoyan, the ninth generation of Luo's sister-in-law, came out of the Chu Kingdom, there have been many children of the last generation of the public family or the children of the clan who have entered other vassal states in recent years.

Among them, the Jin State and the Qi State, the two traditional allies of the Luo State, are the largest in number, and there are also people from the princes of these two countries in the Luo State.

The second is the state of Chu, because the Luoyan family that moved into the state of Chu at the beginning is now powerful in the state of Chu, and many children of the public family who are doing nothing in the country of Luo have gone to the state of Chu to join the brothers of the same clan.

Among the Qi countries, the most powerful Qing clans are the Gao clan, the Yun clan and the An clan, among which the An clan, which comes from the Luo clan, has the shortest rooting time.

The rise of the An clan was fueled by the Luoguo, and after the strategic direction of the Luoguo turned to the domestic country, and after the loss of the coordination of the Son of Heaven, how to maintain relations with traditional allies became the top priority.

It is unstable to rely only on the marriage between the descendants, so the country of Luo chose to let the princes of the country of Luo and even the office of the country enter other countries in exchange for political friendship.

Among them, Qi Guo's strategy was originally the most successful.

The ancestors of the An family are one of the descendants of the Luo family, and they came to the Qi country together with the noble daughters who married into the Qi country at that time, because the next generation will be demoted to the princess, so there is no psychological burden to go to the Qi country.

The Marquis of Qi sealed these people in Andi, and then made great achievements in the foreign wars of the Qi State.

Through the war, the An clan began to gain power in the Qi country, and at the same time used the large number of Qing clan deaths during the turbulent period to expand their power.

Thanks to the help of Mrs. Qi Guo, all of An's actions went smoothly.

Luo Guo gave a lot of resources in this process, which allowed the An clan to buy other Qing clans and countrymen through small favors.

Through the marriage with the Qi State Office and the Gong Clan, the entire Gong system penetrated, and the power of the An clan grew steadily.

Until the establishment of a new monarch, that is, the previous Marquis of Qi, the power of the An clan in the Qi State was enough to compare with those Qing clans who had been entrenched for generations.

However, LΓΌ Wuyi killed the previous generation of Qi Marquis and the crown prince, and the sons were exiled to various countries, and as the princelings' An clan, they could only temporarily hibernate.

This made them very dissatisfied, especially when Lu Wuji obviously distrusted the An clan and suppressed the development of the An clan, which made them rise in their hearts to kill Lu Wuji and win the new monarch again.

This kind of thinking is so common among the nations today that it has even reached the point of not being strange.

The two sons are in exile, and the son Xiaobai, who is in exile in Luo, has the blood of the Luo clan and is their first choice.

After ventilating with Luo, An immediately collected Lu Wuji's movement trajectory and prepared to start.

On this day, Lu Wuji was taking his cronies to the hunting ground in Linzi to hunt, and the group was holding the hunting dogs, so happy.

At this moment, in the jungle, a dark arrow suddenly shot out, shooting straight at Lu Wuji, but he didn't expect Lu Wuji's vigilance to be very high, and he actually dodged this fatal arrow directly.

"There are assassins!" Lu Wuji shouted loudly with horror on his face, this is how he killed his predecessor Qi Hou back then, and now he naturally understands that someone is going to do something to him.

"Protect the monarch!"

The guards who reacted immediately surrounded him, and Doctor Qing immediately rushed forward with a sword to protect Lu Wuyi behind him.

Seeing that the assassins failed to succeed, Dr. An Ning, the head of the An family, was not ambiguous, and the retainers who directly brought the armor were about to come hard.

"Sure enough, it's the remnants of these people who were born in Luo's family!

The thieves are really hateful, and they failed to kill you in the first place, which is why they are today. ”

Lu Wuyi scolded bitterly, not feeling that he was the usurper, and Dr. An Ning immediately shouted: "No blame!

You killed the king and usurped the throne, and the people of the country were eager to eat your flesh and eat your blood, and for a few years, you acted perversely, and did not sympathize with the people, thinking that there were no loyal and righteous people in this Qi country?

Today I want you to die here, and use your blood to pay tribute to your ancestors. ”

As he spoke, two groups of people began to fight, and no one noticed that on the top of a big tree, there was a person hidden.

This person's name is Luo Lianju, a disciple of the Luo Guo Office, and his strength has reached 90, and he is the only one in the Luo Guo Office.

His name was changed by Lochew himself when he grew up, because his archery skills were so superb.

Just give him a strong bow, and within a hundred and fifty steps, the target will die!

This time the matter was too important, and Luo Xi was worried that the people arranged by the An clan would miss, so he deliberately brought the burst to the Qi country.

Seeing that there was already a scuffle below, Luo Lian's face was expressionless, he raised his hand and held his bow, squinted slightly, and the arrow burst out of the air.

"Poof!"

This was the sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh and blood, and Lu Wuji looked at the arrow that came out of his chest in disbelief.

Everyone was stunned, and Dr. An Ning's face was instantly full of joy, and he shouted loudly: "No blame, do you still have to resist?" ”

These people are not Lu Wuyi's relatives, and normally speaking, except for a few loyal ministers, most people will not resist stubbornly when the lord dies.

So most people look at each other a few times, and except for a few descendants, they don't attack anymore.

Luo Lian shot took advantage of the chaotic situation and left here, a carriage appeared outside the hunting ground, he dodged into the car, and said in a deep voice: "Shizi, Lu Wuyi is dead. ”

Luo Xi sighed: "Shooting bravely, it is really a thousand miles of Luo's horse, and my country is a great thing!" ”

……

The five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes, the heavens are tilted, and the prestige is great, and I really disdain it.

Luo's Zhong is prosperous, Luo's abandonment is defeated, this is the hegemon? Rock's Dog! - "Spring and Autumn Miscellaneous"

Microtubule Zhong, I wear the left side of the hair!

After the Duke of Zhou, there was no one who made the greatest contribution to Zhuxia in the Spring and Autumn Period!

In addition, adjusting Guan Zhong's age is a little selfishness on my part, and I will say it in the subsequent chapters, so I won't spoil it here.

(End of chapter)
