Luoguo, Zhaocheng.

This city, which has been established for 500 years, is famous in the entire Zhuxia world, and the mottled city walls show its antiquity, and the gorgeous buildings show the heritage of the Luo Kingdom.

Even if the Qi State has been dominating for one hundred and twenty years, no one can ignore here, the so-called sacrifice is the Son of Heaven, the government is by Fang Bo, and Luohou is the bridge of communication between the two.

Luo Ci and Luo Yan sat in the quiet room, reading the letter of state sent by Qin Bo.

After analyzing the situation in the world for Qin Bo in Yili, this letter of state crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and came to the master of Luoguo.

With a smile on his face, Luo Ci pushed the bamboo slip towards Luo Yan and said, "A very interesting letter of state." ”

Luo Yan expanded, "Five hundred years ago, Bang Zhou Chengtian was ordered, and King Wu sealed your ancestor King Su in Luodi, so he established an ancient state state.

In the past five hundred years, the three regents have been in power, and the nine generations of Luohou have served as the secretary of the Son of Heaven, what a glorious history is this?

The princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe, a Kuang world, his prestige is higher than that of the Son of Heaven, he can also use the Son of Heaven's ceremonies, tripods, chariots and horses, and clothes, can there be anyone in Bang Zhou who is more noble than him?

He was able to achieve this achievement because your ancestor Ming Gong sent him back to China and supported him.

Now that you have helped Gongzi Chong'er to ascend the throne, it seems that the Jin Kingdom is about to dominate, he is a prince surnamed Ji, a relative of the Son of Heaven, and the nations must be subservient. ”

"This?"

Reading this, Luo Yan had already frowned deeply, and it sounded like a compliment, but this was clearly provoking the relationship between the three parties.

If this letter spreads, the impact will probably not be too small, and it will be a rift between the three.

Luo Ci's expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Qin has capable people, and the following is the point." ”

"It is because of the favor of Xuan Gong that Qin Guo has its current status, and if it is not repaid, it must be against the principles of heaven.

Xijon has broken through the capital city of Ho, and is now trying to go to the Central Plains.

For three hundred years, the Qin State did not dare to forget the promise he made to Xuan Gong to suppress Xirong for the royal family.

In the name of Shao Hao, I hereby assure you that no Rong people will ever be able to cross the territory of the Qin State. ”

Luo Yan's face showed the same expression as his father, and he playfully flipped the bamboo slip in his hand, and said, "Uncle Qin is releasing kindness, saying that he is unwilling to go east."

It's just a delaying tactic, which is expected to make a move against the princes who have made meritorious contributions. ”

Luo Ci was naturally clear about Qin Guo's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Uncle Qin of this generation is a general who is good at fighting and killing, judging from his support for Gongzi, he has always wanted to go east, but now it has suddenly changed.

It must have been a wise and resourceful person who entered Qin and gave him this idea, and used the righteousness of the Emperor to tie up Luo's hands and feet, which is really clever.

But this is a good thing, Zhuxia is destined to kill a river of blood, but now Yidi is still very prosperous.

If it was because of the civil strife, Yi Di would have taken advantage of the situation, and the ancestor would definitely be to blame.

If the Qin State can really sweep away Xirong completely, maybe when the destiny of Bang Zhou lands, the heavens will really favor the Qin people. ”

Saying that, both of them laughed, if Qin Guo could really clear Xirong in the west with peace of mind, at least he would not go east for a hundred years.

After putting aside the state letter of the Qin State, Luo Ci began to ask Luo Yan in detail about the situation of the Jin State.

At this moment, Luo Yan's face instantly became serious, and his thoughts returned to the time when he was in the Jin Kingdom.

Soon after the end of the rebellion of the five princes, Gongzi Chong'er was enthroned as the king of the Jin State under the witness of a group of ministers and Qi Luo.

The largest power in the Central Plains has ushered in its new master.

For any ruler to stabilize his rule, the first thing he needs to do is to install his own people.

Normally, the monarch will place his brothers, in-laws, and relatives in key positions, but there is a very embarrassing thing at this time.

Gongzi Chong'er's four brothers killed each other, Qi gave a nobleman, and Luo also had some princes in the Jin Kingdom, plus those who had been following him.

Luo Yan saw that among the six secretaries appointed by Gongzi Chong'er, there was not a single person from the clan, so he couldn't help but ask: "Marquis of Jin, why didn't you appoint someone from the clan as the six secretaries?"

Is there anything more trustworthy in the world than relatives?

Just as the Luo State and the Jin State have a deep friendship of 400 years, and the Qi State has a deep friendship of 500 years, this is because of the blood relationship between the two sides, so they trust each other.

It is true that the six secretaries you appointed are all virtuous ministers who can prosper the society, but such harsh treatment of relatives may lead to disaster. ”

But Gongzi Chong'er didn't listen at all, he said directly: "Prince, your words are reasonable, but the Jin Kingdom and the Luo Kingdom are different.

In the past five hundred years, there has never been a civil strife in the country of Luo, and there is no prince in the world who is not envious of such a loyal office and clan.

In the past five hundred years, countless princes and nobles have been in exile, including the Jin Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom, and the Song Kingdom, which country does not have it?

There is no Luoguo!

In the past 500 years, how many things have been like the Childe Dance? I'm afraid no one can count them all.

But what about you?

The stigmata on your eyebrows is innate, and even if there are rebels and thieves, can it deprive you of your nobility?

It tells everyone that you are the descendant of King Su, so you have the confidence to face the public office and the family.

Lone also has this confidence, but what about Lone's descendants?

Let's start to change from Lone, Lone no longer wants the Jin Kingdom to miss the opportunity to dominate because of infighting. ”

Speaking of which, Luo Yan has already understood that Gongzi Chong'er does not trust the clans, because the Jin Kingdom has always had too serious infighting, and these offices and clans are always thinking about usurping power and seizing the throne.

Chong'er, who had gone through such a tragic battle to ascend to the throne, could no longer give power to the princess, and reused the Qing doctor, at most, he was a powerful minister, and he was not qualified to ascend to the throne of the Jin Kingdom.

Chong'er believes that only in this way can he always ensure that the throne of the Jin Kingdom is in his hands.

"Marquis of Jin, because the clan may betray and abandon it, isn't it like being choked on eating and not even eating?"

Human limitations are everywhere, and it is inevitable that such a virtuous monarch as Chong'er will be.

Chong'er waved his hand and said: "At the beginning, it was not only because of these reasons, but the lonely princes were all virtuous courtiers, who were enough to assist the Holy King, and they were much more capable than those princes who had empty bloodlines but were defeated.

With their assistance, presumably the Jin Kingdom can prosper, respect the king, the king's righteousness, and the lonely will do it, so don't worry about the prince. ”

Luo Yan completely informed Luo Ci of the scene that happened that day, and sighed: "The ministers and doctors of the Jin State are indeed virtuous ministers, the system of Shiqing Shilu, and the policy of wantonly giving land, isn't this the system of Bang Zhou five hundred years ago?"

The Jin kingdom will soon prosper, but it will eventually perish because of this system, just like the current royal family. ”

The system of the Jin Kingdom is too immediate, and this system is naturally invincible and unfavorable to external expansion, but it has high requirements for the power struggle and royal attributes of the monarch.

Otherwise, the end of the Zhou royal family is the end of the Jin State Office.

The Marquis of Jin Chong'er can't think of that for the time being, now he is in power, high-spirited, and the Jin Kingdom is really worthy of being the thickest foundation among the nations.

Since the reform of the domestic military system and the implementation of the Liuqing system, the entire Jin State seems to have become a war machine.

And after suppressing those princes who can only do bad things, the courtiers who assist Chong'er are indeed all virtuous ministers.

In just three years, a huge wealth has been accumulated in Yicheng, and there is still a strong army in the Jin Kingdom, and the Qing clan of Shiqing Shilu has gradually eroded the land that originally belonged to the Duke of Jin.

Chong'er has a laissez-faire attitude towards this matter, most of those clans followed Gongzi Wu at the beginning, and after the ignorance of the death of the Marquis of Jin, they still want to follow Gongzi Wu to kill him.

Chong'er hated these people deeply, and he once said to the left and right: "The Gong family is the wing protector of the office, but these people follow Gongzi Wu in vain to kill the Jin Marquis Ignorance, and when the throne of the monarch falls on Gu's body, they follow Gongzi Wu to kill Gu."

It can be seen that there is no king in their hearts, and when the Biluo Yellow Spring is exhausted, Lone will forgive these disloyal and unrighteous people. ”

Chong'er's actions once again intensified the contradiction between the princes and the Qing clans in the Jin Kingdom, and even some princes openly said: "Chong'er treats the princes so harshly, and I have never seen them in other countries several times."

The state of Chu was established by the Southern Barbarians, and after learning the etiquette, he still knew how to reuse the clan, would Chong'er not know?

The Jin Kingdom is the Zongguo surnamed Ji divided by King Su, ranking first among all the Ji, if the Jin Kingdom does this, what is the honor of the surname Ji? ”

Naturally, he was furious, believing that these clans were testing their attitudes, and that he wanted to kill this person to intimidate them and make them understand their power.

Under the persuasion of the left and right, he put away such thoughts, but still sent a letter to the princes of the entire Jin Kingdom.

"As a courtier, is it right to slander the king at will?

Can a person who lacks virtue and ability be able to occupy a high position?

The gold and jade of the Jin Kingdom are piled up like a hill, and beautiful cloth can be seen everywhere, can Lone be stingy with rewards?

Indeed, your virtues are like rats in a stinking ditch, and your talents are less than those of a beggar by the roadside, and the beautiful jade is given to the gentleman, and the cloth is given to the wise.

You don't deserve this, so you might as well learn more from the sages, and if you wish, you can go to the palace of learning in Luoguo, where there are sages who will teach you.

When you return, you'll know how to respect your monarch. ”

Chong'er's spicy sarcasm was like a war letter, which shook the entire Jin Kingdom and disgraced the entire Jin Kingdom.

Chong'er is the monarch of the powerful country, and his strong will covers the entire Jin Kingdom, and those clamoring princes instantly closed their mouths.

But contradictions do not disappear, they only accumulate.

When Chong'er ascended the throne for four years, the Jin Kingdom encountered a very crucial war.

In order to ensure the safety of the Zhou royal family, Yiluo Zhirong, who was previously entrenched between Yiluo, was driven upstream by the Jin and Luo kingdoms to Yiluo.

As a result, because the living conditions here were too poor, they wanted to take advantage of the Jin State to focus on the Di people, and launched a plundering war against the Zhou royal family.

……

When Duke Wen ascended the throne, he ridiculed the disloyalty of the Gong clan, his lack of virtue, and his ability was unbearable, so he didn't need it, and he said that he was virtuous and virtuous, and he would be prosperous.

Luo Duangong said: If you prosper with this, you will die with this!

On the day of Jin's death, the mourning prince sighed: Duan Gong's view, how far is it?

The people of the time said: I knew today, why bother at the beginning? ——"Chinese and Jin Language"
