Chapter 12: Thoughts

In the country, he openly rebuked the princes and kings of Luoxin, who was the king of Wu who sealed the country far away from Chang'an, and he not only said it in the country, but even wrote letters to other princes and kings.

"O kings.

Is it because of our ability to sit on the throne of princes?

It is because Emperor Gao got the mandate of heaven and became the supreme son of heaven, and we are noble because of our close blood relationship with Emperor Gao.

In the past, King Wu of Zhou got the world, so the surname Ji occupied the eighth layer of land in the world, which is the dignity that the people of the Mandate of Heaven can bring to the family.

After the death of King Wu of Zhou, it was the supreme and holy King Su who was in charge of the state affairs.

Since then, Luohou has served as the great Zongzheng of the Zhou Dynasty for generations, and has been in charge of the sacrificial and Wangji state affairs.

Will anyone think it is unreasonable at that time?

No.

Because the Luo family is the clan of the surname Ji, and is the most noble branch of the Ji surname under the Zhou royal family, the Luo family is in charge of sacrifices and state affairs.

But now that it is the world of the Liu family, shouldn't the person in charge of national politics be the clan relatives of the Liu family?

But in fact?

Previously it was Lu, and now it is Luo.

This worries the widow very much.

Isn't there a great talent in the Liu clan who can serve as Zaifu?

That's unreasonable.

Just a few people know about it, there are a few people who are the Qilin'er of my Liu family, but they can only live in Shandong and cannot enter Chang'an, Guanzhong.

What can the widow say?

Although the widow trusts Luo's morality very much, the foreign surname regent is like a person holding a delicate and fragile jade in his hand, but walking on a bumpy road.

Liu's Jiangshan Sheji, is there really no danger of overturning?

Now Luo Xinyan is called Tui'en, but isn't this reducing the power of the clan?

If there is really a change in the imperial court, and we are weak and unable to control it, wouldn't it be a failure to live up to Emperor Gao's entrustment to our clansmen? ”

This accusation is unexpectedly reasonable, and at first glance, it seems that there are high-ranking people behind the back.

The dismantling of the Huainan Kingdom is still going on, and this work will probably last for nearly a year, and there are too many resources to be divided.

King Wu's remarks soon reached the ears of the princes and the Chang'an court, and the princes and kings did not expect that King Wu would be able to come up with such a secret poking remark, and they were happy in their hearts, and then secretly spread out.

When King Wu's remarks reached Chang'an, they instantly stirred up great waves, like throwing a boulder on a calm lake, setting off a monstrous wave.

Everyone has the same idea, King Wu is tired of being crooked? Or do you think that Wu is strong enough to wrestle with the imperial court?

The state of Wu is indeed powerful.

The capital of Wu is in Gusu, and the land is basically the fief of the Xiang clan of the Chu State in those years, and after hundreds of years of cultivation by the Xiang clan, it is the most fertile land in the south of the entire Jianghuai.

After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty and ascended the throne as emperor, the most powerful force was the old land of Chu.

So he divided the state of Chu into three, the northern part of Xiang Chu is probably the Huaibei region for the state of Chu, the real old land of Chu was changed to the southeast of the Spring and Autumn period of the state of Wu, and then set up the state of Yue in Huiji County south of the state of Wu.

The strength of the Yue State is not strong, and it is the only country among the princely kingdoms that has only one county, and its only value is to contain the Wu State.

Yes, Liu Bang prepared some means to contain the kings at the beginning of the separation, which was the normal reaction of a qualified emperor.

However, over the years, the power of the imperial court has always been limited to the areas directly under the central government, and the king of Yue has long been the head of the king of Wu, and this means of containment may have disappeared.

"If you want to fight against the imperial court, it's just a mantis arm as a car."

In Changle Palace, Luo Xin and Luo Yi sat opposite each other, and Luo Yi made his own evaluation of King Wu.

Luo Xin didn't take King Wu in his eyes at all, and said lightly: "If the overlord of Chu in the past is alive and leads the children of Jiangdong to come, I am afraid that I will have to raise a large army, and even have to go out to Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, to have the confidence to win."

But King Wu, a mere Han man, compared with the overlord who dominated the world in the past, was born as the Son of Heaven and died as the God of War, he is just a Jiangdong rat.

No matter how heroic the children of Jiangdong are, can they still be brave under the hands of the rats? I sent a Chehou to lead the army to the south, and the king of Wu could be captured and killed on the Jianghuai in ten months. ”

If ordinary people must have thought that Luo Xin was expressing his dissatisfaction with King Wu's remarks, but Luo Yi frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Do you really want to use swords against the princes and kings?"

As soon as the sword is moved, there will be accidents, and there are too many such lessons in Bang Zhou.

And if you do this, the big brother won't help you.

As you know, the eldest brother is transcendent, and he will definitely stand by and watch this kind of civil war between clans.

It is not the usual practice of the family to choose war when it can be resolved through political means.

Soldiers, the land of life and death, you know very well.

Since there is a law to divide the country, as long as it is done step by step, the threat of the princely kingdom will naturally be eliminated.

There is a safe way not to use, but choose the dangerous one, this is not a reasonable thing, for my brother does not approve of you doing this. ”

The principle of Luo's has always been that if you can suppress people with power, you will use power to suppress people, and if you can solve it by political means, you will solve it by political means.

It is absolutely impossible to use swords unless it is absolutely necessary, just like in the Bang Zhou period, Zhou Tianzi's six armies were used as a tool to deter the princes, rather than a war soldier to expand the territory, it is out of this strategic thinking.

Luo Yi didn't expect Luo Xin to consider the radical idea of using the army at the very beginning, he was a small hexagonal warrior with a calm personality.

Especially after Liu Bang's death, he took Liu Ruyi to avoid Lu Pheasant, and in those years, he deeply felt how lucky it was to be born in Luo's.

There are many unspoken rules in this world that are ineffective in Rockwell.

But no matter how strong Luo's is, he is still a human being.

In particular, the family's heritage continues to be consumed, but the family's status in the Bang Zhou period is too high, which makes it more and more difficult to obtain luck points.

Although others don't know, Luo's own strategic contraction is inevitable, and now Luo's artifacts and so on are all in the hands of the family master, and all the use of artifacts must be authorized by the family master himself.

Luo Xin was naturally very clear about this, only to see him smile indifferently, pick up the wine bottle in front of him, and said softly: "Brother, there is no difficult strategy in this world, Bang Zhou is completely different from the current Han.

In the past, all the countries of Zhuxia were surrounded by barbarians, and almost all the states faced waves of barbarians every day when they opened their eyes, and everyone racked their brains in order to survive, although there was confrontation between Zhou Tianzi and the princes, cooperation was the main theme.

But now it is different, in the vast land, although there are still many barbarians, they are no longer the opponents of the vassal states.

Now these princes and kings of the Liu family do not have the sense of mission of the first generation of nobles in their hearts, and they have directly and easily obtained a large area of fertile land without experiencing great difficulties, and such people have no ideals and beliefs in their hearts.

They couldn't see that there were still countless natives in the vast old land of Chu such as Wu, Yue, Huainan, etc., and those natives were hidden deep in the forests, in the mountains, among the rivers, and in places where all the people of Zhuxia could not tread.

Peeping at our land all the time, like hungry wolves, when we are weak, they will rush up and bite us fiercely.

They can only see the prosperity of the country, see the wealth of Chang'an, and want to compete for power and profit, is there still any value in such princes and kings?

Therefore, the contradiction between the vassal states and the imperial court will be very acute.

In the past, when the kingdoms perished, the family was overjoyed, because the nobles of the kingdoms were too corrupt to bear the burden of leading the summers.

So can the current princes and kings of the Liu family take on this heavy responsibility?

Brother.

You know very well that you can't!

Therefore, this group of princes and kings who were divided by Emperor Gao out of strengthening power were eradicated, and replaced with a group of princes and kings carefully selected from the clan and Chehou who had ideals and enthusiasm in their hearts.

It's something that has to be done.

If you want to do it, there are two methods, the first is to use power to suppress people, first split the country, and then formulate the law of Tui'en, which can be done in 150 years.

The second is to fight first, completely abolish the kingdoms, make the kingdoms become fish and meat on the chopping block, and then you can quickly split the countries between the world, and completely abolish this group of princes and kings within thirty years. ”

Hearing Luo Xin's words, Luo Yi understood why he and Luo Xin's thoughts were different, the fundamental reason was that the two had different attitudes towards the current royal family, Luo Yi's attitude towards the royal family was to leave it to its own devices, and if you have the ability to cut the domain, I will help you, but if you don't have the ability to be overthrown, I don't care, as long as you keep Liu Ruyi's lineage, and the last to sit on the throne are Liu Bang's descendants, I am worthy of Emperor Gao.

But Luo Xin is not like this, it is not only the Liu royal family sitting on the throne, but also the Gao Empress Lu Pheasant, and the Emperor Xiaohui, Luo Xin has almost no choice!

Luo Xin is the second king of Su in the family, not only because he is the king on his back and is the real regent, but also because his mentality is completely different, the second duke of Wenxuan belongs to Zhou Sheji, and Luo Xin not only wants to ensure the survival of Zhuxia, but also to ensure the stability of the emperor's position.

Lu Pheasant, Liu Le, Liu Ying, these three people are too deeply entangled with Luo Xin, Luo Xin went deep into the red dust and created a great cause, but he also lost the detachment of Luo's son.

Luo also wanted to understand this, and looked at Luo Xin with some admiration, going deep into the red dust is not something that every Luo family son dares to do, because by now, it has become a consensus that King Su protects his descendants in the sky, and of course, after the concubine system gradually dies out, the Luo family has no concubines.

But after going deep into the red dust, no one knows what will happen.

"What a price you've paid!"

Luo was also a little emotional, "If Emperor Gao had used me as an auxiliary minister, would I have been like this?" ”

Luo Xin said lightly: "You won't." ”

Luo Yi looked at Luo Xin and sighed: "Yes, I won't."

Are you so anxious now, are you very worried about His Majesty the Emperor? ”

Luo Xin, he really cried to death
