Liu Ying's marriage will be a political marriage.

This is an unchangeable reality, even Luo Xin can only try to take care of Liu Ying's feelings and guide Liu Ying not to resist through words.

Liu Ying is actually a smart child, he understands this, it is not easy to get the current freedom, and he is still full of gratitude to Luo Xin.

What Luo Xin wants to marry Liu Ying most is Han Xin and Luo Cai's daughter Han Yan, the two of them are only a few years apart, which is the most suitable.

Han Yan is now twelve years old, and she can get married as long as she waits for another three years.

"Brother, no!"

Luo Cai said without hesitation, and Han Xin looked at Luo Cai with some doubts.

Luo Xin didn't expect Luo Cai's attitude to be so resolute, and he also asked with some doubts: "The emperor has a docile and benevolent personality, rarely argues with others, is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, has no assertiveness on the surface, but he will protect himself tightly if he cares."

Yan'er will definitely be happy when she marries, and the only worry is that the emperor may have more concubines.

But as long as Yan'er can give birth to the prince early, being a brother can ensure that the emperor will not have other concubines. ”

Luo Xin's words sounded very plain, but the resoluteness contained in them was extremely deep, even if Liu Ying was the emperor and married my Luo Xin's niece, he had to abide by the rules.

Hearing this, Luo Cai still shook his head resolutely and said, "Brother, it's not because of the emperor.

My sister often goes to the palace to meet the queen mother, and she is still clear about the emperor's temperament, and she is indeed a good match.

But Cai married from Luo's family, which was the grace of the eldest brother, and then had this pair of children.

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, my sister wants to give them the best in the world, and there is nothing better than the family after thinking about it.

But you know the rules of the family, in the Bang Zhou era, only the branch of the dead country could return to the Luo country to become a prince.

Without the catastrophe of destroying the family and destroying the family, without the approval of the eldest brother, Yang'er would not even be able to stay in Zhaocheng if she married the daughter of the Luo family again.

But Yan'er can, she is Cai's daughter-in-law, and she will return to the family 100%, can Cai give up such an opportunity?

There are many disturbances in this world, and Yan'er can only rest assured when she returns to Zhaocheng and arrives at the eldest brother's side.

The eldest brother is among the brothers, and the heirs are prosperous, and they can choose one of them as a good match for Yan'er.

Compared with returning to Zhaocheng and marrying into Zhaocheng, marrying Yan'er into the royal family and entering the emperor's harem is really not what my sister wants.

Please also ask for your understanding. ”

Luo Xin didn't expect Luo Cai to have this idea.

fell silent for a while, what Luo Cai said was too reasonable, don't let go of the opportunity to return to the family, isn't it stupid to marry the emperor?

The current Luo family is not so down-and-out that it needs to maintain its status by marrying a daughter, but the royal family probably wants to give a daughter to Luo, and Luo has to examine the princess's virtue and talent.

Luo Xin was naturally happy that his niece could return to the family, and after a short silence, he smiled and said, "Yan'er is really lucky to have a mother like Ah Cai."

It's a blessing to be back in the family, it's a pity that an elf girl like her stays in this murky world. ”

Seeing this, Luo Cai groaned for a moment and asked, "Fourth brother, are you going to beat the Fengyu heroes?" What did my brother say? He was close to the Rich Heroes. ”

Han Xin's face changed slightly when he heard this, how long did it take for the Han Dynasty to suppress the heroes, and he was the first of the heroes.

But fortunately, the former ruler and the current ruler are his eldest brother, and this knife should not fall on him.

Luo Xinyan snorted coldly and said: "I didn't want to do this, the birds are all hidden, and it has never been the family style to cook rabbits and dead dogs."

These people have made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, and it is appropriate to enjoy the glory and wealth, as long as they do not kill and trample on human lives at will, until the blessings of the ancestors are exhausted, the brothers are unwilling to do anything to them.

But these people have gone too far, it's like a rich feast, and after they have eaten it, they directly tear down the whole table, so unique that the world is uneasy! ”

Luo Cai nodded slightly, she knew these things, and there were also many people who came to Huaiyin Hou over the years, hoping that Han Xin and Luo Cai could recommend them.

Han Xin's relatives and friends are relatively few, which is considered an advantage, otherwise it is really tricky.

Luo Cai said: "Brother, it is a critical moment for the husband to write the military book.

My sister and husband are ready to go back to the fiefdom to write books with peace of mind, and Anyang is also close to Zhaocheng, so I can go to see my eldest brother from time to time.

If the queen mother needs her husband to take command of the expedition, please send a letter to Anyang. ”

Luo Xinyan's face became serious, and after thinking about it slightly, he understood that Luo Cai was hinting that he was letting the heroes return to the fiefdom.

Heroes alone cannot compete with the imperial court, and the strongest thing about these heroes is that they are all entrenched in Chang'an.

They communicate with each other frequently, and the friendship between the second and third generations is deep, and when one party is in trouble, a large number of people will be rescued in an instant.

In the face of such an enemy, it is not possible to directly confront them, and besides, Luo Xin, Luo Yi, and Luo Chen are not very good at power struggle.

Rock's power could not have been projected so far, nor was it used to do these things.

The best way is to let them return to their fiefdoms, reduce their communication, disperse their forces, and the individual heroes can only submit to the royal family.

Luo Xin thought about it, but still let go of this rather tempting thought, "Ah Cai, you are indeed smart, but now is not the time.

These people are a double-edged sword, on the one hand, they may hurt the imperial court, but on the other hand, they are the sharp weapon of the imperial court to suppress the world, the world has just stabilized, and the king of the Liu family must still be dissatisfied with the Lu family's seizure of power.

Now it is enough for this group of people to stabilize the society, and temporarily suppress their tentacles that reach out in all directions. ”

Having said this, Luo Cai sent Luo Xin out of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, and said softly as he walked: "Brother, you have participated in too many royal affairs, and my sister thinks something is wrong."

And in a few more years, you're going to be in the age of no confusion, and you're still so alone. ”

Luo Xin was stunned for a moment, and laughed softly: "Ah Cai, the most difficult thing in this world is to do what you want, once people fall into this red dust, they have desires in their hearts, and they will be coerced forward."

A few years ago, Brother Wei stood in the corridor outside the palace, looking at the high palace gate, and suddenly thought, can't Brother Wei become a regent like the second duke of Wenxuan?

The deeds of the ancestors are so great that it is difficult for future generations to match them, but it would be a pity if they did not even dare to try.

With such thoughts, my brother knows that he will never be able to return to the transcendent state he was in at the beginning.

I've walked into the red dust.

Moreover, the eldest brother sits in Zhaocheng, the heirs are prosperous, and the family has successors.

There is never a truth in this world that you don't get for nothing, and if the family wants to survive in the world forever, can it rely only on the fame and deeds of the ancestors?

Thousands of years later, how do the people of the world view Luo's, a group of insects attached to the people?

Only with the blood and sweat of the family, cast immortal glory and glory, when the monuments stand in Zhaocheng, we can always hold our heads high and face everything calmly. ”

Luo Cai understood, she didn't expect her fourth brother to have such a big change, he wanted to be regent!

Then everything is reasonable, how can you not be close to the royal family if you want to become a regent, how can you not gain the trust of the royal family?

Although Luo's political credibility is extremely high, even the emperor believes that Luo's will not rebel and will not usurp power.

But the question is, I don't know you, why do I give you so much power?

Putting the life and death of the royal family on political trust?

Mingjun will not do this.

The faint king does not believe in such a thing as political credibility, and he will not do the same.

Luo Yi and Luo Xin won the trust of Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant respectively, and both had the prerequisites for becoming regents.

But Luo Xin is different, not only Lu Pheasant trusts him, but Liu Ying also trusts him, which is his biggest advantage.

Even because of his identity, it is impossible for Luo Xin to achieve such a high degree of regent achievement as Lu Pheasant's legitimacy.

But originally among the three regents in Luo's history, although they were all monopolized, only King Su was the real regent, the fake son of heaven.

Duke Wen relied on the Regency Council, and Duke Xuan relied on the power of the princes surnamed Ji, compared with King Su, the power was about the same, but the legitimacy was far from good.

Luo Xin's requirement for himself is that even if he can't get the name of regent, he must have the unshakable power to assist the emperor alone.

The brother and sister were separated in front of the house, Luo Cai and Han Xin looked at Luo Xin's gradually departing figure, Han Xin exclaimed: "Brother is really a masterpiece, this is probably the reason why the Luo family is prosperous but respected by the world." ”

Luo Cai said brightly: "This is the fairness that the family wants, the Luo family is born with power, so naturally they can't escape the shackles of this earthly world."

It is precisely because of the protection of people like my brother who are like towering trees that there are transcendent places like Zhaocheng and Luocun in the world, which can keep people like concubines away from these complicated and troubles. ”

Luo Xin sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and began to think about the many heroes who had visited over the years, and recalled Lu Pheasant's evaluation of the ladies of various families these days, and then recalled Liu Ying's character.

"If the character is too strong, you can't want it, you can't want the ugly one, the emperor will definitely resist from the heart, the Lu family will be excluded, and it will be really difficult to leave the queen again, the marquis and the marquis are too powerful, and the one who is too independent can't want it, and it can't help the emperor."

Luo Xin ruled out the candidates one by one, and he looked at the more than 100 marquis of Dahan over and over again, and it seemed that he still felt that his niece Han Yan was the best.

As the carriage got closer and closer to the palace gate, Luo Xin finally demarcated a few houses in his heart and walked into the palace.

————

There are two contradictions that ran through the entire ancient dynastic politics, namely, the contradiction between the central and local governments, and the contradiction within the central government.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the contradictions within the central government were manifested in the contradictions between Zhou Tianzi and the princes in several countries, which was greatly alleviated when Luo Wengong was in power, and in the Han Dynasty, it was manifested in the relationship between the imperial family and the group of founding heroes, and the two sides were testing each other's bottom line on the basis of cooperation.

Dong Ahou Luo's new history records that he is a benevolent person, good at governing the country and enriching the people, not good at power, but judging from his performance during the regency of Empress Lu, his level of power is passable, he and Empress Lu cooperate tacitly, on the basis of suppressing the excessive embezzlement of royal power by the meritorious group, unite the meritorious group, and avoid the national policy of affecting recuperation and recuperation because of unnecessary internal friction.

The ruling ability of Lü Pheasant and Luo Xin, a pair of monarchs and ministers, was among the best in the entire history of the Han Dynasty. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
