Chapter 16: Regent of Lu Pheasant, Feudal Marquis and Prime Minister

Following.

An edict came from the palace, "I have never heard of a person who can live in peace without repaying his kindness."

I have never heard of a monarch who lacks virtue to preserve his society.

I have never heard of a virtuous person who can prosper without asking for it.

I have never heard of a betrayal of the appointment of a cronie.

Gongzi Xin has the grace of life to me and the emperor, and I should give him gold, silver, and jade.

He is a talented man, and I should confer on him the title of high official, and I should give him the palace guards and the guards of Chang'an, so that he can wear armor and hold a sharp sword, and stand by the emperor's side as a wing, so that he will be safe. ”

The palace ladies and eunuchs of the brigade never walked out of the Yang Palace, such a grand occasion, especially this edict, made the powerful families in Chang'an City look sideways.

Let Luo Xin go to the palace with armor and a sword, what a trust, Luo is also Liu Bang's most confidant, and he has not received such treatment.

Only Zhaogong, the god of the world, has such an honor, but he doesn't know what to say except envy.

And Luo Xin should have been made a marquis back then, but because of the too close relationship with Empress Lu, the credit was swallowed directly, and he left Chang'an City for so many years, and now the new emperor is on the throne and suddenly prominent, which is natural.

Luo Xin sat quietly in the mansion, ignoring the people in front of him, just reading the book in his hand carefully.

On the day of the last dynasty, Luo Xin put on his armor, held a sharp blade in his hand, and walked to the palace.

Luo Xin is not an upstart who suddenly emerged, but a strongman with huge support, and in this Chang'an City, there are not many people who can be taken to heart by him.

As Luo Xinxin stood beside Liu Ying with a sharp sword in his hand, everyone suddenly felt the trust of the royal family that Luo Xin had obtained.

To a certain extent, this is tying his net worth and life to Luo Xin's hands.

Zhang Liangxiao and others have already realized that this is a court meeting held by the Empress Dowager for Luo Xin's appearance, and it is not discussing any state affairs at all.

So they all looked at their noses, their ears and their hearts, and they didn't say a word as clay sculptures, while Luo Xin looked at this group of founding marquis, as well as the envoys of various kingdoms above the main hall.

Lu Pheasant found that the ministers really had no opinion on her replacing Liu Ying to take charge of the court, which made her feel at ease, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Luo Xin followed Lu Pheasant directly to Weiyang Palace.

Lu Pheasant and Luo Xin sat down, poured wine for the two of them, and said with joy: "Son, as you expected, the ministers did not object. ”

Luo Xin's face did not relax completely, "Ejiao, you can't take it lightly now, the ministers probably think that you want to listen to the government, and they don't know that you want to be a complete regent."

In the history of Bang Zhou, the real regent queen mother is extremely rare, the first is the queen mother Qi Jiang in the period of the ancestor Wengong. ”

Saying that, Luo Xin said with a smile: "If it is in the Bangzhou period, even if you are the queen mother, you can only leave the name of Qi Jiang, unlike now, you can still keep your name and surname." ”

There is a difference between listening to the government and being a regent, and there may not be much difference in the power of powerful people, but in fact it is completely different.

Ji Zhao was the regent back then, and even the beginning of the edict was "acting as the regent of the king", not in the name of King Kang, but in the name of Ji Zhao.

Since then, the word regent has taken on a different meaning.

How much power does the regency have?

Basically equivalent to the Son of Heaven, when the regent existed, the Edict of the Son of Heaven was not more effective than the regent, and the Son of Heaven was not qualified to abolish the regent on his own initiative.

This is why the Duke of Luo Wen had to get the name of regent back then, and since then all the edicts have been able to use the name of "acting for the royal regency council", and the power is completely in his hands.

Even if there are people who are dissatisfied with him, they can't open their mouths at all, even if they try to drive a wedge between the Son of Heaven and the Duke of Luo Wen, it is useless, because if the Son of Heaven wants to abolish the regent, the regent can even say, "Why did Your Majesty rebel?" ”

Hearing this, a chill suddenly burst out in Lu Pheasant's eyes, and Luo Xin thought of what he had said when he talked to the eldest brother before, so he said softly: "It's not that point, Ejiao, prepare to make a marquis for me, in the name of the Queen Mother Regent." ”

In the name of the regent, the number of people who oppose it will definitely be greatly reduced, and since there is no opposition to this matter, then the matter of the regent naturally cannot be opposed.

With Lu Pheasant's current level of political struggle, he can naturally know the mystery, and said softly: "Who else is the position of Xiangguo?" ”

Xiangguo is a relatively outdated title, the left and right prime minister system separates the power of the prime minister, and now Lu Pheasant wants to restore this system and let Luo Xin take the position.

The two discussed the reward after a while, and Lu Pheasant didn't show a little caution in his heart, thinking about giving Luo Xin a surprise.

From Liu Bang's death to Luo Xin's return to Chang'an City, there has been an undercurrent, and the words of a son of heaven and a courtier have been circulating in the Bangzhou era.

These words are mainly used to describe that after the new Son of Heaven ascends the throne, his relatives will occupy the position of an important official in Wang Ji, of course, there is the second half of this sentence, and there is Ji Jiang among the courtiers from generation to generation.

After Liu Ying came to power, the group of founding heroes who originally stood on Liu Ying's side suddenly changed from allies with the same position to political enemies who wanted to fight for power and profit, commonly known as factional struggle.

At present, the absolute advantage is naturally Lu Ze's relatives, who belong to the Diaoyutai platform, with Liu Ying here, at least for a few decades.

But the others are different, the three princes and the nine secretaries, as well as the positions of real power in each army, are the focus of their contention, this is human nature, and even knowing that they will die in the end, they still have to go forward and do it.

Even if the Luo clan faced these people, before Ji Zhao became a god, he would eventually have to back down, after all, the family background is limited, and people's selfish desires are unlimited, and it is impossible to directly launch the god of the four seasons to kill him with a thunderbolt when he sees one.

An edict that shocked the entire Han Dynasty was sent from the palace.

"Regent Queen Mother:

Those who have no merit shall not be named Chehou, this is an immutable iron law, and it is a great mistake to have merit but not to be named Chehou, I am not willing to do so, the merit is greater than the rescue, and the new east of Luo is sealed Hou, and there are 5,000 households in the city. ”

Although the number of households in the food is high, after all, there are still several tens of thousands of households on it, although everyone knows that this is not the apex of Luoxin, but they are not shocked.

What really shocked me was the word regent before the Queen Mother, which was issued in the name of Liu Ying last time, and this time it was directly issued in the name of the Queen Mother.

What does this mean?

No one thinks that Lu Pheasant wants to usurp the throne, they think more that Lu Pheasant does not seem to be satisfied with being a transitional figure.

She wants to do things, plus Luo Xin, the Queen Regent plus a minister, this kind of Luo Wengong's sense of déjà vu is too strong.

Moreover, Luoxin's fief is Dong'e County.

That was the hometown of the Lu family, before she fled to Pei County, Lu Pheasant lived there, and now she actually gave her hometown to Luo Xin!

Zhang Liangxiao and others, who had the ability to oppose it, were silent one after another, and even the kings of the Liu family did not say anything, which was not a particularly difficult thing to accept.

At least the emperor is still Liu Ying, and Lu Pheasant has no other sons.

The kings still faintly thought in their hearts that they would let Lu Pheasant do too much.

In this strange atmosphere, the matter of Luo Xin's feudal marquis was successfully passed.

Luo Xin, who successfully became a marquis, was not happy, "Ejiao, it is not necessarily a good thing that no one opposes it, this can only prove that some people have buried their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and then they must properly handle the intricate relationships in the world, and they must not affect the plan of recuperation." ”

It was another court meeting, and the mood of the ministers became a little different, Liu Bang has been fighting abroad over the years, although it is Luo Yi and Xiao He who govern the world, but Lu Pheasant, the queen, is also indispensable.

But after all, the backbone of everyone is Liu Bang, and now Lu Pheasant has made it clear that she is going to dominate the world now, and everyone's mood is really complicated.

Lu Pheasant put on the most complicated and gorgeous robes, and the courtiers rushed in.

"Queen Mother Regent, long live Qianqiu, may you be safe!"

"All the ministers are safe!"

The ministers praised Lu Pheasant and slowly accepted that the new era had really arrived, as for Liu Bang, he probably hid it in his heart and praised it.

"Dong Ahou, you are talented and noble, and your current position is not enough to match your talent and morality.

Your brother Yinghou also served as prime minister, and you have talents that are not inferior to Yinghou.

If Your Majesty had your help, he would have been able to create three generations of rule.

Your Majesty, what do you think? ”

Saying that, he turned his head to look at Liu Ying, Liu Ying hurriedly said: "The queen mother, what you said is reasonable, Dong Ahou is kind to the child, and his talent and moral character are all superior, except for the position of prime minister, the child can't find any other position that can match Dong Ahou." ”

Liu Ying's personality does not like to compete, and Luo Xin loves him very much, teaches him the knowledge of being an emperor, and has great kindness to him, so he has a kind of admiration for Luo Xin.

After Luo Yi, Luo Xin also became the prime minister, the Han Dynasty has only been thirteen years, and Luo's is a double prime minister!

This kind of scene can't help but remind the ministers of the Luo clan recorded in the classics of the hundred schools of thought that the Luo family was once in Bang Zhou, the three princes of the world, and the three regents!

Since the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Luo clan has shown too many miraculous things, causing the ministers to treat the Luo clan as a Fangshi family.

This is the first time that the ministers have felt the terrible nature of Luo's as a political family!

The dynasty is changing, only Luo's Yongzun!

————

Filial piety is weak, Empress Lu is in the dynasty to weigh the system, the ministers are happy, and the new said: "The queen mother is highly meritorious, please be the regent." ”

Lu Hou said: "What do you mean? ”

Empress Lu is known as a virtuous name, and the ministers are respectful and gladly called, and they all bow their heads to their ears, saying: "The Queen Mother and the first emperor set the world together, and it should be like this." ”

Lu Hounai was the regent, and said: "The new merit is high, it is advisable to seal the Marquis, eat 5,000 households, and the lord is Dong'a." ”

Dong'a, the homeland of the Lu clan ancestral hall, the envy of the people, the new tears, said: "If the letter is like this, what more can the husband ask for?" - "Historical Records: The Family of Dong'ahou"
