Zhaocheng, Luo Palace.

Luo Wuji and Luo Jinxiu, sisters and brothers, were standing in the courtyard.

Although Luo Wujian is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is already extremely tall, he has perfectly inherited Luo Zhongkan's martial arts, and has surpassed it, from the point of view of his stature, he is already a complete adult, but from the face, he is still a radiant young man, with a faint childishness between his pupils and on his face, his eyes are very bright, like a lamp in the dark night, he is full of nobility, and he wears a sharp sword around his waist, this sword is a gift from Luo Ling, and it is one of the swords cast by Luo's, with the best technology, it can be called sharpening iron like clay.

Luo Jinxiu looked much smaller when standing next to Luo Wuji, and the top of his head was only up to Luo Wuji's chin, but in fact, this figure was already extremely high among women.

She wore the crimson curl that a Luo's woman usually wears, embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs and neckline of the curl and the edges of the clothes, as well as the phoenix logo that Luo's will never be missing.

Luo Jinxiu's age is a few years older than Luo Wuji, she has never seen half a flaw on a plain little face, her skin is fair, and after the sun shines without powder, the reflection of the light is Yingying, she is different from Luo Wuji's heroic appearance, her temperament is gentle and graceful, from the hair slightly hanging down between the temples to the lips between the eyebrows, it is the gentleness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

There were guards and maids around saluting with large bags and small bags, and Luo Wujian reached out and took the heaviest package from one of the maids and put it on his shoulder, while his right hand was carrying a weapon.

Contemporary Zhaogong looked at the handsome young man and girl in front of him, his face was full of reluctance and worry, and gently patted Luo Wuji's shoulder and said: "When you go to Chang'an, you must take care of your body, you know that you want to fulfill the last wish of the second uncle, but you must be careful when you go to the battlefield, the spirit soldiers must not leave your body, and the warriors must always accompany you, the position of the head of the family is still waiting for you to come back to inherit, which is also the great cause of the family." ”

Luo Wujian nodded and smiled: "The head of the family doesn't have to worry, there are nine brothers in Chang'an, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Zhaogong looked at Luo Jinxiu again and said: "Xiuniang, you are a sister who has no disease, take good care of him when you arrive in Chang'an, if there is a suitable woman in Chang'an, remember to send a letter back." ”

Luo Jinxiu's eyebrows and eyes bent into a crescent moon with a smile when she heard this, she was a few years older than Luo Wuji, and now she is nearly ten years old, as she grows up, she becomes more and more beautiful, and she is also a first-class face among Luo's family.

I saw her cover her mouth and chuckle: "Don't worry, the head of the family, I will definitely take a good look at Wuji, and I won't let him have anything to do." ”

Walking out of the Luo Palace, the group of people from the Dong'ahou Mansion was already waiting here, Luo's carriage was also ready, and the accompanying warriors were armed to the teeth, and these people would obey Luo Wuji's orders in the future.

……

Dong Ahou Mansion.

Luo Jing lay on the rocking chair, swaying and taking a nap, ten years have passed, he is getting older and older, and the young man who swept Chang'an back then can no longer see the demeanor of the past.

All his life he has held is a noble position, especially the position of sacrificing wine in the Taishang Palace, it is simply noble and noble, if you want to say who has the hardest relationship and the highest prestige in this Han Dynasty, after the fall of Luoling, there is no second person except him.

According to the adjectives of later generations, Luo Jing belongs to the leader of the literary world, the master of scripture, and the leader of Shilin, and he is also one of the leaders of the lords, and even the current general Han Liang, the Marquis of Huaiyin, has to call him a cousin.

"Prince, the son-in-law Jinxiu and the son-in-law have arrived without illness."

Hearing this, Luo Jing slowly got up and said with a smile: "Come in." ”

After Luo Wuji and Luo Jinxiu walked into the Hou Mansion, they were instantly watched.

In this huge Dong'ahou Mansion, there are naturally a lot of people, and many heirs have gone out to set up their own doors, such as a few people who went to Dong'ahou to guard the town, as well as those who served as county officials in the Central Plains and various Jianghuai provinces, and the daughters basically got married, although there were many heirs, but Luo Jing still gave each daughter a rich dowry.

"This is the son and noble girl from Zhaocheng, look at the holy mark in the center of the eyebrows, only the prince and the prince have it in our Hou Mansion."

"This noble girl is really stunning, better than the nobles in the house."

"This son is also very handsome, it is said that the Luo family of Zhaocheng is so beautiful."

Almost everyone is talking about it, which has to say that in the Dong'ahou Mansion, except for the housekeepers, guard captains, maids, and warriors, most of them are not from Zhaocheng, and they have seen few Luo's sons, so they are naturally very curious.

Not to mention these maids and ordinary guards, even Luo Jing's grandchildren are a little curious about Luo Wuji and Luo Jinxiu, even if they are, many people are not very familiar with Zhaocheng, Luo Jing basically only took a few children who are willing to go back to Zhaocheng when he went to Zhaocheng, it is not good to stay away from Zhaocheng, it is inconvenient to go to relatives, especially if he chooses to enjoy the glory and wealth outside, and then change his clan, it will be difficult to return to Zhaocheng.

However, as long as the previous generations did not make mistakes of principle, they could still get some help with the incense, after all, Luo's relationship and energy are very large, and the benefits that can be obtained as Luo's external liaison are not small.

Luo's may not be able to help you become a great minister, but you will definitely be able to save the lives of your whole family, King Xiang is a guarantee, the premise is that you have a good reputation and merit, if you do no evil, rampant in the township, what do you do Spring and Autumn Dream?

"Those murderous men are daring warriors, right?"

"It must be, you see the Luo character on the package they are carrying, it is exactly the same as those daring soldiers in the house, there are so many, there must be hundreds of people, right?"

"It's estimated that there are three hundred, which is terrifying.

It is said that the fifty daring soldiers in the palace had a trick with the guards in the palace before, ten people beat a hundred people, one person was not damaged, and all the hundred people were overturned, and the hundred guards lay down for several days, and now there are three hundred people, which is estimated to be able to go directly to fight the Huns. ”

Since it is not an official trip of the Principality of Zhao, it is natural that he cannot be fully armed when he enters Chang'an City, and the three hundred daring soldiers have all taken off their armor, but when they scan the surroundings, the eyes full of oppression, the awe-inspiring murderous aura exuded from their bodies, and the smooth lines of their bodies are still full of explosive power, making people have no doubt about the strength of these people.

Ten spirit soldiers, five women and five men, protect Luo Jinxiu and Luo Wujian respectively, anyway, the spirit soldiers are only flesh and blood on the surface, but they are actually composed of luck rules, and the appearance of men and women does not affect combat effectiveness.

Luo Wuxi and Luo Jinxiu turned into a courtyard, and saw their cousin Luo Jingzheng looking at the two with a smile, saying that they were cousins, but the age difference was too big, Luo Jinxiu stepped forward and said, "Brother is healthy, little sister is polite." ”

Luo Jing greeted with a smile: "Ah Xiu, no illness, you must be very tired along the way, take a bath first, then have a good rest, get up again in the evening, prepare a big banquet for your brother, live in Zhaocheng has always been thrifty, come to the brother's mansion, and take you to luxury." ”

Luo Jinxiu covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this, Luo Wuji also laughed, both of them knew that Luo Jing was joking, the cultivation of Luo's son, especially Luo's son who was destined to inherit the position of the head of the family, Luo Wuji, who was destined to inherit the position of the head of the family, had experienced countless training, and the delicacies in the world had already been eaten until he vomited.

Luo Jinxiu and Luo Wujian were taken to the courtyard that had already been cleaned up, the water with the right temperature had already been placed in the bath bucket, and the spirit soldiers were guarding outside the house, Luo Jinxiu's clothes were more cumbersome, and he needed the help of the maid to widen his clothes, Luo Wujian directly pulled his clothes belt, lying in the bath tub, in the steaming heat, Luo Wujian began to think about his plan after coming to Chang'an.

If Luo Wujian now has the title of Duke Zhao on his body, then it is very simple to enter the court, and the emperor must arrange at least a Jiuqing-level official position for the title of Duke Zhao, after all, Duke Zhao is not another prince, his political status is not ordinary, and the Duke of the Han Dynasty is very special.

The prince is a clan, the marquis is the apex of the military merit system, and the duke does not belong to either, that is, it is a principality with a high political status and wants to retire with the Han Dynasty.

But now it's not difficult, what are the requirements of the probation system?

Recommend talented people, recommend people with high moral character, filial piety, benevolence, loyalty, and other people who are in line with mainstream values.

If it is only about talent, there are many talents in the world, although Luo's son is strong, but in every era, there are people who can compare with Luo's son or even surpass Luo's son, but if it is about morality, then Luo's son can be the best.

Do you understand the gold content of the thousand-year-old moral benchmark?

80% of Ji Zhao's prestige system is full of prestige, this is Luo's, and those who don't understand Luo's and make comments in vain will eventually be annihilated in the mouth of all beings.

In order to add moral evaluation, isn't this a system tailored for Rock's son?

And Luo Jing was able to meet the emperor directly, to some extent, Luo Jing was one of the emperor's allies to stabilize the situation, Luo Jing recommended Luo's son, and was reused, it was easy, and what Liu Che wanted now was to defeat the Huns, Luo's gave him a general for nothing, and Luo Jing couldn't even find a reason for Liu Che to refuse.

"The fame is to be taken immediately, and let's take a list of marquis first."

Luo Wujian shook his head, no longer thinking about these future things, and washed up seriously, there was still a banquet in the evening.

————

From the perspective of later generations, we can criticize this system as a tool for the aristocracy to monopolize power, and the bottom that has not been appreciated by the aristocracy has been squeezed out of the political system, but in fact, this system of selecting officials is beneficial in the Han Dynasty, where the productive forces have not yet flourished, and it unites the powerful groups within the dynasty to the greatest extent, and even the noble family like the Luo family also relies on the inspection system to enter the office. It can be seen from all the major events in the 100 years since the founding of the Han Dynasty that the probation system with the military merit system has made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
