Chapter Twenty-Eight: Contrast
The prime minister was sitting in the room and fell asleep, and then he heard a voice from outside, and his subordinates pushed the door open, and the prime minister said without raising his head: "I am old, my legs and feet are inconvenient, my old eyes are dizzy, and I can't see things. ”
Luo Jing laughed directly when he heard this, and said loudly: "Prime Minister, it's me." ”
When the prime minister heard this familiar voice, he immediately became excited, his inconvenient legs and feet were healed, his dizzy old eyes also brightened, and he secretly complained in his heart, why did this living ancestor come, and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out that the servant was here, and the old man also said that why there are magpies in the yamen of this official office today, it is really a happy event." ”
Luo Jing didn't care, there were too many people with such an attitude as the prime minister, these people would not be like this when they faced Luo Xin in the past, but they were even more humble when they faced Luo Jing.
He directly handed over the will written in his hand and reminded: "Prime Minister, this is the will that Your Majesty has just issued, and the stakes are very high, so immediately go through the process to push this will down." ”
The prime minister frowned slightly when he heard this, although he was a puppet prime minister, but since he could be chosen by Luo Xin as a temporary replacement, he naturally still insisted on it.
Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be issued at will, and the prime minister has his own duty to admonish the emperor, even if it is the emperor's intention, he must see if it is a disorderly life.
Otherwise, if you are pointed out by Wanfu, you really can't raise your head.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu immediately said: "In the service, let the old man look at the will first." ”
When Luo Jing saw this scene, not only was he not unhappy, but he was very happy, and he laughed softly: "Please take a look." ”
After Luo's efforts, the prime minister finally brought a trace of responsibility that must be fulfilled, these responsibilities do not come from the emperor's authorization, but from the principles of the world, and at the end of these principles stands the supreme and holy Su King.
The courtiers are no longer naturally weak in the face of the emperor, but can say confidently: "King Su is above!" ”
Luo's is very aware of this, so he is very cautious about the authorization of the truth, and the highest truth of the current Luo's certification is that "killing a single husband is not a murderer", which in some cases is almost an endorsement of the uprising.
The prime minister hurriedly read the content of the will, and there were countless waves in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face, he took off the prime minister's seal, covered it, and then said with a smile: "Please tell Your Majesty in the waiter, and the minister will immediately issue the will to all the princes." ”
Luo Jing nodded, turned around and walked out of the prime minister's office.
With an inexplicable smile on his face, with these Chehou returning to Chang'an, the situation in this world is going to be interesting again, how will his emperor's cousin outline the current world?
Luo Jing began to conceive of a prosperous scene that may appear in the future, which is probably an unprecedented prosperous era, what kind of words should be used to describe it?
These wills quickly spread under the impetus of well-intentioned people, and the marquis who had been waiting in the fiefdom for a long time finally saw the dawn of returning to Chang'an, and naturally they could not wait to start writing letters to the emperor to express their repentance and loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can see that they still have some merit and hard work, and can forgive them and give them some opportunities.
Wuyang Hou also said in the letter that he was not for his own glory and wealth, but he did not want to become a waste waiting for death.
Back then, the ancestor followed Emperor Gao to fight the world, but now he is idle at home, unable to be loyal to the court, which is really painful.
He very much hoped that he could continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor, live up to the merits of his ancestors, and repay the royal family for the grace of the Marquis of Wuyang.
Liu Heng looked at these letters that poured in like ordinary snowflakes, and said to Jia Yi and Luo Jing with some emotion: "This is what my uncle said in the past, the emperor is noble, the son of heaven is respectful, Ah Jing, make a decree, let these people go back to Chang'an, I want to meet them well and see if they are as loyal as the letter says." ”
……
Before the Royal Palace.
Luo Jing stayed in the palace and had nothing to do because he was relatively idle, so he took the initiative to ask Liu Heng to fill his work.
Then he came here on Liu Heng's order to pick up the marquis who had just returned to Chang'an City into the palace.
Those once infinitely brilliant Chehou gathered in front of Miyagi early, and most of them were greeting each other, seemingly without the slightest hurry, but there was a trace of uneasiness in the depths of their eyes.
Then they saw a young man riding out of the palace, followed by some janitarian guards.
Horseback riding?
Everyone suddenly reacted, they were allowed to ride horses in the palace?
The identity must be extremely noble, and it is extremely favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and then think about how many old brothers saw the emperor because of their disheveled clothes, and then left Chang'an directly and returned to the fiefdom, I really wanted to cry.
There are obvious holy marks between the eyebrows, I don't know which Luo's son, looking at the eyebrows and eyes, Gu Pan is flying, especially in Luo's son, there is a very rare feeling of wantonness, and most Luo's children who abide by the rules of etiquette at a glance are very different.
Liu Heng once commented on Luo Jing, "Ah Jing is not ordinary, he is born with a rich and noble appearance, the more presumptuous he is, the more prominent his talent will be." ”
Luo Jing rode on a high horse, and said loudly in a slightly immature voice: "All the monarchs are well, I am Luo Jing, so the son of King Luowen is new, thanks to His Majesty's love, inheriting the throne, and now walking in the palace for the servants, presumably some of the monarchs have seen me." ”
King Loewen!
Some people who don't know Luo Jing's identity know it when they hear it, and it turns out to be the son of Luo Xin, the prime minister.
After Liu Heng was posthumously crowned king for Luo Xin, he naturally couldn't use the title of Dong'e, and in this era, the prince had not been reduced to the level of an ordinary title.
The princes and kings are either the names of the great Spring and Autumn countries such as Yan, Zhao, and Qi, or they are crowned kings according to the names of those big counties, and Dong'e is just a small county, which is not enough to carry the king's title.
Therefore, after being posthumously crowned as the king, it is necessary to choose the king number for Luo Xin, in fact, there are two alternatives.
It's either Zhou or Luo.
But Ji Zhao is a very special existence, although he is the head of the small sect, but he was posthumously named the Son of Heaven, so his full nickname is "King Wen of Zhou", not "King Luowen".
In the sacrifice, it is called Wen Wang Zhao, Su Wang Zhao, not Luo Zhao, this is the reason.
Although it is now upgraded, there is no reason for descendants to occupy the ancestral posthumous seal in this world, so the word Zhou can only be abandoned.
In the end, Liu Heng clapped the hand and said: "The monarchs of Luo during the Bang Zhou period were all Luo Gong, and now the title of Luo is continued, and the prime minister will be pleased, so he will take Luo as his name." ”
Thinking of the relationship between Prime Minister Luo Xin and His Majesty the Emperor, and then looking at the cousin of His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, how favored he was to ride a horse directly in the palace, what else could he hesitate about?
The group forgot that it was Luo Xin who drove them out of Chang'an City, and they all surrounded them and exclaimed: "The service is really Shenhua Tianzhong, looking at you is like seeing King Wen in the past." ”
Whether it was the guards at the palace gate or the guards who came out with Luo Jing, they were all secretly stunned when they saw this scene.
These people are all big people who can't afford to offend after the founding fathers, but the gap between the two sides is so big.
One of the guards seemed to be too unbelievable, and muttered: "I really can't imagine how many princes and nobles were in Chang'an City back then, and now they are so ...... in the face of Dong'ahou."
His brother was also very shocked, and immediately answered: "Flattery? ”
"yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.
In the past, the rather easy-going servants have such a majesty as they do today. ”
Naturally, no one heard the whispers of the guards.
Luo Jing raised his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, don't let Your Majesty wait, please follow me into the palace." ”
After speaking, he turned around and rode into the palace, this group of Chehou hurriedly trotted behind him, and some people panted and looked at the figure in front of him, his eyes were full of envy.
It's not just as simple as the guards think, but at this point, they know how big the gap is between the nobles.
……
Changle Palace.
Liu Heng looked thoughtfully at the princes in the hall, and had a deeper understanding of why Luo Xin drove these people out of Chang'an first, because he suddenly found that his mentality when facing these courtiers had changed a lot.
I used to think that I was a minister of the first emperor or a minister of the great prime minister, and I always had a slight feeling of strangeness in my heart, but now I can look at these people very calmly.
If you can use it, you can use it, and if you can't use it, you will continue to drive these people back to the fiefdom, this is what Liu Heng thinks now.
"Secretaries."
Liu Heng opened his mouth, and everyone in the hall straightened their backs and listened quietly.
————
The transfer of power in ancient dynasties is not an easy thing, on the surface, when the previous emperor handed over the title of emperor, the power was handed over, but in fact, the new emperor always had to go through a struggle to clear out those old ministers who already held great power and were unwilling to cooperate, until the moment of success, the transfer of power was completed.
For example, when Empress Lu handed over power to Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying, he left the East Ahou Luoxin for Liu Ying, although history proved that this was a very correct decision, the power center of the Han court did not experience any turmoil, and directly entered a new period, but from the results, the existence of Luo Xin did affect the use of his own power by Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, directly transferred power to Luo Xin, and the stability of the central court avoided the internal friction during the transfer of power, which was one of the important factors for the rapid recovery of national strength in the early Han Dynasty.
When Luo Xin handed over power to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng, he keenly noticed this and took a series of measures, which effectively cleared some obstacles for the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng and laid a solid foundation for the prosperous era. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
