Chapter Twenty-Six: The High and Low End Routes
Looking at the record in the investigation report.
Luo Sheng said: "Emperor Xiaoding's attitude towards the family is not bad, my uncle champion Jinghuan Hou is his cousin, my aunt is his cousin, the establishment of the Wushuang Marquis, Emperor Xiaoding has invested a lot of resources, he is a peaceful emperor, and there is no antagonism between the family, but since the death of my uncle, my aunt has never been to Chang'an, maybe during this period, Emperor Xiaoding has been affected." ”
Luo Wuji coughed lightly and said: "Emperor Xiaoding has some soft ears, and it is easier to listen to some slander, which is very likely, his attitude towards the family depends on the courtiers and relatives around him.
What about today? ”
A Luo's woman said crisply: "Strange, when today's attitude towards the family is unfamiliar, he entered Changle from the princes and kings, and the family has not contacted him, but he is determined and basically not affected by the courtiers." ”
Emperor Liu Dan is a martial arts emperor, fighting on top of the battle array, such a person usually does not change orders overnight, and has his own judgment.
Well......
At least when you were young, when you were wise and martial.
I don't know if he will be deaf when he gets old, after all, even the emperor of Li Longji's level in the first half of his life doesn't know his mother who collapsed directly when he was unconscious.
"So at present, the family is not a threat in the eyes of the emperor."
This is not based on feelings, for this result, the family is not very surprised, everything has a law, unless you meet the kind of god of war, otherwise the decline always comes slowly, the relationship between the family and the royal family is the same, the political mutual trust forged over the years, it is impossible to disappear suddenly.
"But it is indeed getting worse, the comprehensive quality of Emperor Liu is declining, the mutual trust between the two sides is decreasing, and there may be accidents, but the family is fearless."
The fate of most loyal ministers depends on the emperor, and many people praise Li Shimin for not killing meritorious heroes, just because there are not many emperors who do not kill meritorious heroes, and similarly, there are not many emperors who are willing to give their courtiers a good death.
Because traitors are unwilling to take the blame for the emperor, the emperor can only choose loyal ministers to take the blame, we usually call this quality of the emperor, mean and unkind.
Many people list meanness and lack of kindness as the quality of a good emperor, and often use Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty as an example, which is actually a bit of a contradiction.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty is because of his excellent political ability, and his meanness and lack of kindness are not advantages, how can this kind of trait that will only cause detachment from morality be an excellent quality?
Emperor Chongzhen was also mean and unkind, crazy to throw the pot, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were indeed pitted, but there were also many loyal ministers, and there were many people who did things for him, but he was killed when he turned his head when something happened.
What is Chongzhen's final ending?
He couldn't even find anyone looking for the blame, and before he died, he could only be incompetent and furious, leaving a sentence "Wenchen can be killed".
It is estimated that the ministers are very aggrieved, and you have cleaned up everything you do, and now no one is still wronged for you.
"The family has nothing to fear!"
Everyone said in unison, the words were full of firmness, Luo's is not afraid of conspiracy and trickery, what he is most worried about is righteousness and light, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, unless Luo's is willing to break the political rules, otherwise the face of the Son of Heaven is naturally in a disadvantageous situation.
"The attitude of the Liu clan towards the family is not good."
Luo's son sneered: "The Liu clan's attitude towards the family has always been bad, and they are always trying to prove that they are the most noble. ”
The royal family seems to have an obsession with being the first family, Li Shimin ranks Li first in the clan chronicles, and the Song Dynasty compiles a hundred family names, and also puts Zhao first, and now the Liu family is the same, but the habits of people's hearts are not so easy to change.
Among the Bang Zhou, Ji Jiang is the most expensive, among Ji Jiang, Luo Lu is the most expensive, this is a habit that has been handed down for thousands of years, the main branch of the Lu family was destroyed, and the prestige suffered a major blow, but the Luo family is different, and it is by no means something that a simple century-old royal family can shake.
Power can change people's words, but it can't change people's thoughts, even if people put Liu in front of Luo on the surface, but in fact, even the emperor knows the real order in his heart.
This is the root of the Liu royal family's dissatisfaction with the Luo family, it sounds a little funny, but the values of the people of the time are so different.
"The attitude of the Liu clan is both important and unimportant, their strength is very strong, but they are too empty, even if they are dissatisfied, they will disappear in less than fifty years."
The power of the princes and kings of the Liu clan is not weak, although they cannot threaten the central government, but they are behemoths in the local area, after all, the territory of the princes and kings has at least a few counties, although it is far from being compared with when the Han Dynasty was just established, but it is still stronger than the princes.
However, the shelf life of the power of the princes and kings of the Liu clan is too short, and the continuation of their wealth depends on whether the new emperor gives birth to a son quickly, and on whether the emperor trusts or not, so that they are not allowed to make meritorious contributions to maintain the kingdom.
"The power of the princes and kings of the Liu family is basically only in the locality, not much above the court, instead of paying attention to the Liu family, it is better to pay attention to the princes and relatives, these two types of talents are the role of determining the high-level of the court."
It is an indisputable fact that the princes and their relatives had far more influence on the court than the princes and kings.
"The influence of the family among the liehou is not weak, and there are many allies, but many of them are drifting apart, mainly because these liehou have always wanted to start a war, and the family does not agree, but the relationship between the five liehous, Huaiyin Han, Anyang Han, Jimo Lu, Linzi Lu, and Lanling Xiao is still relatively close to the family, which is enough to suppress the liehou."
Needless to say, the Han family and the Lu family are the descendants of the Marquis Xiao He, who was renamed to Lanling during the Liu Che period, and the Xiao family is very different from the Liu family, and belongs to the very close liehou family.
The location of Lanling is very important, so the Xiao family is sealed here and guarded by the Liu family.
"Emperor Liu Dan's family of relatives is almost the same as the mother of King Han in the past.
I felt rich and noble before, and I wanted to marry my family, so naturally I didn't even reply directly, and if I said cruel words at that time, I might slander the emperor, but it was not a big problem. ”
King Han is Liu Ruyi, and his mother is Mrs. Qi, a woman who may have brain problems, which is a negative teaching material in Luo's family, and she will take it out to talk about things when educating her children.
Liu Dan's maternal family is like this, because of her beauty, she was included in the palace by Liu Che and gave birth to Liu Dan, but Liu Dan suddenly became the emperor, and the family suddenly became prominent, and she felt that she could ask to marry the daughter of the Luo family with her power.
Although it feels incredible, there are always many things in this world that can make Luo's jaw-dropping, and Luo Sheng handled this matter at that time, so he naturally refused directly.
Hearing what Luo Sheng said, many people showed a look of astonishment, and asked with some doubts: "Childe, what you just said is that someone asked for marriage from the family?"
Do you marry into the family, or marry the daughter of the family? ”
If you marry into the family, maybe Luo's will really go to investigate, if the other party's family background is innocent, the woman is good-looking, knowledgeable, and will really go on a blind date.
If you marry a Luo girl?
That is a sentence, the world is as far away as it is, marrying a Luo girl depends on fate, what you see is being able to see the right eye, and it is not okay to ask for marriage.
"Marry the daughter of the family."
Luo Sheng gave a positive answer, Luo Wujian was silent when he heard this, he didn't know about this outrageous thing, and smiled helplessly: "What do you think?"
There is a woman in my family, and the world asks for it, but it can't be asked, and there is no disaster in vain. ”
Everyone was amused by Luo Wuji's words, and the originally dull atmosphere in the room was swept away, if it was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it must be a trip to "Funny Collection".
When the inventory is here, it is actually nothing, Luo's has always taken the high-level route, and the high-level hostility towards Luo's has always been relatively small, just like the Bangzhou period, the attitude of the Zhuxia countries towards Luo's is very good.
"Let's take a look at the people."
Luo Wujian said, directly skipping the middle class, everyone understood why, because the situation at the top and bottom was predictable, but the thinking of the middle class was too complicated.
"Thanks to the ancestor of King Su, Luo's reputation among the people, as a descendant of King Su, is very good, especially when the people encounter a crisis, but this reputation is very false, because the family does not directly control the survival of these people, and you all know that people will obey the orders of those who have the resources for his survival.
However, this is powerless for the family, and the Luo family has done its best to control the current scale, unless we go up further, we can justifiably grasp more population and resources. ”
What Losin said, in later generations it was called, means of production!
When you have the means of production, you have power.
At the smallest level, the means of production are considered food, weapons, and resources, and at the largest level, prestige, knowledge, and so on are the means of production.
In addition to the power of the Heavenly Mandate Artifact, the reason why Luo's is so powerful is because Luo's control has too many means of production, second only to the emperor's.
Moreover, the means of production in Rock's hands are indestructible, like a fortress made of stone, which is difficult to lose.
"Enough.
People's hearts are like water, they are changing all the time, the same thing, some people are grateful, some people are resentful, this is the human heart.
Even if it is money, it cannot be loved by everyone, and if there are people like Zhuangzi who hate it, how can there be a family that lives on the earth after all?
As long as there is a trace of faith in the ancestors in the hearts of the people of the world, the family will be able to gather them together and set off waves that are enough to destroy everything. ”
Luo's is Luo's, Suwang is Suwang, the people in the world are still relatively clear, Suwang's sacredness is related to Luo's prestige, but it is not big, Luo's prestige is mainly accumulated from generation to generation.
Moreover, people born in the land of the Central Plains, when this world was generated and gradually improved, there were rules that led to people being born with a BUFF of -50% purity of faith, and there were very few people who were so crazy that they were outrageous, which was completely opposite to the Western Regions.
Everyone turned their attention to the last pile of paper, the middle class that was the most troublesome, the most changeable, and the most complicated interests.
