Death of the Lotus!

It's not just his personal life and death, or the grief and sadness of his family.

The death of any big man will cause a great change in the political landscape, and even the life and death of a faction will depend on the leader.

The fact that Luo's possession of the artifact is not known to outsiders, and the strange outsiders of Luo's are also speculating, and they don't know how powerful it is.

But why is it that both the emperor and the aristocratic officials are still so jealous of the Luo family and so respectful of the Luo family?

Ordinary people revere Roche because of legend and virtue.

But how can a creature like an official respect a person simply because of his morality?

If this is the case, then the Ming Dynasty should not be Zhang Juzheng in charge, but Hai Rui!

When the Han Dynasty was just established, Luo's was known as "Luo Half Dynasty", "Luo and Liu, the world!" ”

It is not an exaggeration to describe the huge power of Luo's family, which is not inferior to the royal family, but the thoughts of the people of the world, even the royal family itself.

There are even some people who are extremely dark in psychology, and during the period of Sanluo's auxiliary government, they still doubt that the empress dowager will imitate Qin Shihuang's mother Zhao Ji and make a matter of Liu Bang's widow to usurp the Han family.

Because of the imperial court at that time, even the heroes of the fathers rode the wall between Luo and Liu, and the entrepreneurial heroes and major shareholders of the Han Dynasty, the Lu family, were biased towards the Luo family, how did the Liu family fight with the Luo family?

It can usurp the throne without usurping, it can authorize the lord without authority, and it can be autocratic but not dictatorial.

This is the reason why Luo Xin was praised as the Prime of Optimus by the contemporaries, and this is the reason why Emperor Liu Ying of Xiaohui and Emperor Liu Heng of Xiaowen treated Luo Xin like a father, and mourned after his death, and even fell this trust to Luo Jing.

Luo's has always had a strong political energy, which can escort the humble scholars, such as Jia Yi, who can make the soldiers who have no way out to pay homage to the generals, ask for money, and ask for people, which is the reason why the world's soldiers and aristocratic officials are in awe of Luo.

During the Three Kingdoms, the Runan Yuan clan and the Hongnong Yang clan were both generations of three dukes, why did the Yang clan not have the status of the leader of the corporal clan like the Yuan clan?

It is because the biggest capital of the Yuan clan in Runan is not the so-called clear name of the fourth and third dukes, that thing is worthless, because the Yuan clan has promoted too many people through that position, and the interests of too many scholars and officials are linked to the Yuan family, which is the way to play the gate valve of the scriptures.

Luo Shi's official position is the Metropolitan Protector of the Western Regions, but the Metropolitan Protector of the Western Regions in this world is not an ordinary official position.

It's the king of the northwest!

The status may not be as noble as the Three Princes, and the energy that can be exerted is not as great as the Three Princes, but this is the real feudal official!

The population under the direct control of Luo Shi is as high as 500,000!

Up to 3 million people can be recruited!

Several times in the Han Dynasty, since the princes and kings were divided, there has never been a local prince with such a huge power.

If it weren't for the fact that the Western Regions were far away from Chang'an Mountain, and there were many dangers on the road, even the emperor would have been restless.

Such a huge force not only added invisible help to Luoshi, but also many people who took refuge in Luoshi.

It is not his children and relatives who are most worried about Luo Shi's death in the world, but the nobles of the Western Regions and those lords of the Western Regions.

Because there is a saying in this world that people go to tea and cool, when Luo Shi was there, the imperial court treated the Western Regions quite well, but when Luo Shi died, the imperial court's attitude towards the Western Regions and even Hexi will definitely change.

The attitude towards the princes, kings, and princes who were in the four counties of Hexi and the Western Regions would also change.

Luo Shi's letter to the emperor before his death was that he was worried that he was dead, and the emperor's rewards to the armies of Hexi and the Western Regions would be reduced.

After all, it was not only the Western Regions and Hexi armies that attacked the Xiongnu this time, but also the 110,000 troops who also fought with the Huns on the grassland.

This is why the aristocratic officials of the Western Regions knelt directly on the ground and wept after hearing Luo Shi's last words.

These people are still only worried about the future, and there is only one person who is most anxious!

King Dawandong almost wants to treat Luo Shi as his father.

It's not just King Dawandong alone, Liu Dan is still alive in this world, who hasn't been protected by Luo Shi?

Even if Luo Shi doesn't speak, as long as he is still in the Western Regions, he still holds the 100,000 troops in the Western Regions and Hexi, which is the greatest deterrent.

Even the emperor could not ignore his will, let alone others.

But now that Luo Shi is dead, this layer of umbrella is directly leaking, his aunt is dead, his uncle is also dead, and there is no one to protect him.

Liu Xun is naturally very aware of these things, he is an emperor who is quite good at playing political means, and he is very familiar with all kinds of means of using the adjustment of official positions to deprive power.

After Luo Shixue's death, the biggest problem in front of him disappeared, and the rest were trivial.

He casually flipped through a battle report, and then suddenly asked Huo Guang next to him: "Zimeng, who do you say the new Western Regions Grand Protector should appoint?" ”

The position of the protector of the Western Regions, Liu Xun is impossible to hand over to Luo Lan, the Luo family has been entrenched in the Western Regions for two generations, it has been fifty years since the collapse of Emperor Xiaowu, and if it goes on like this, is the Western Regions Liu's or Luo's?

Moreover, the Wushuang Marquis is located in the residence of the Western Regions Protectorate, and this two-in-one system makes the Western Regions Protectorate even less like a place for the imperial court.

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, and secretly complained in his heart, how could he ask himself this kind of question?

He knew what the emperor was thinking, so he said unchanged on his face: "Your Majesty is wise and decisive, and the ministers dare not speak falsely."

It's just that the Western Regions are extremely important, as Marquis Wu Xiang said in his letter, the Western Regions are unstable, Guanzhong is uneasy, and people who are available, trusted, and able to handle the situation should be sent there. ”

Liu Xun glanced at Huo Guang with a smile, and then said with a smile: "If there is the Wushuang Marquis Kingdom and the Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions, the Duhu Mansion will not be able to get rid of the shackles.

In the past, the decree of the Eastern Ahou Kingdom was like a holy decree, and with the death of King Luowen, this privilege disappeared.

Now that the Wushuang Marquis has been in charge of the Western Regions for two consecutive generations, it is only three times, and it should be over.

Moreover, the original capital was stationed in the Wusun Kingdom, in order to encroach on Wusun, and then attack Dawan, for the purpose of war.

Now that the war purpose of the Wusun Kingdom is roughly completed, and the Dawan Kingdom is surrounded by mountain ranges, the conquest is no longer something that can be completed overnight.

In this way, the location of the Western Regions Protectorate is too far west, which is not conducive to the Han Dynasty's control of the entire Western Regions, and I decided to move the location of the Metropolitan Protectorate to the east. ”

Huo Guang immediately understood that this was to disperse the power of the Western Regions Protectorate, so that the Wushuang Marquis would become a normal town guard, not the previous uncrowned king.

There is no problem with the emperor's approach, at the moment when the Xiongnu were beheaded, the situation in the Western Regions has changed, so the administrative system must change accordingly.

However, in the Western Regions, it is not the Central Plains, and the emperor's brand is not easy to use, especially the Temple Army, which is more like a righteous army and a mercenary, and the words of the Han Dynasty are not very effective.

Huo Guang didn't say anything, anyway, these adjustments can't be completed overnight, the emperor of the Han Dynasty has never lived long, and only God knows how long the current emperor can live.

So he said directly: "Your Majesty is wise, the Western Regions are extremely important, not only to protect the safety of the Great Han, but also to send out all the unstable personnel in the Great Han and completely control the Western Regions, which is very important." ”

The so-called unstable people, such as homeless people, ruffians, disaster victims, prisoners, beggars, and other people who are walking on the path of sitting on the Dharma or have already sat on the Dharma path.

Liu Xun's strategy was to learn the method of flow amplification, and send these people to those inaccessible places on time to open up wasteland, which would not only reduce the pressure on the population of the Central Plains, but also open up more land for the Han Dynasty.

Over the past 20 years, the results have been quite good, and the contradiction of more people and less land has been effectively alleviated in the absence of major war deaths or large-scale famine deaths.

Liu Xun now completely controls the four counties of Hexi and the countries of the Western Regions, in order to smoothly establish the kingdoms in the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun patted Huo Guang's shoulder and said: "Or Zimeng, you know me, the Western Regions are actually trivial, after all, there are a lot of people there, if you want to completely conquer the Western Regions, I am afraid that you have to defeat the Han to do it, and I will definitely not do that."

My real target was the four counties of Hexi, where there were few natives and the Huns who had once been entrenched there had been expelled.

I want to migrate people to the four counties of Hexi, such a vast land, the population of the four counties is only one million, it is too little!

As long as the four counties of Hexi are in the hands of our Han people, even if they lose the Western Regions and Henan, our Han people can still form cavalry and snatch back all the lost land. ”

Huo Guang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you have a candidate in your heart for the protector of the Western Regions?" ”

Having said all this, who will be chosen by the Western Regions Metropolitan Protector?

In the end, all ideas have to fall on the person who implements them, can the person you choose take on the idea?

Huo Guang asked this, because according to the emperor's candidate, he could judge the emperor's attitude towards the Western Regions and the former ministers of Hexi, as well as the positioning of the Wushuang Marquis.

This is very important to Huo Guang.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not answer, but put down the battle report in his hand directly, stood up, came to the screen, opened the map on it, and a map of the Western Regions appeared on it.

Huo Guang watched as the emperor picked up a pen, nodded heavily on the Wusun Kingdom, and then drew three lines, directly dividing the Wusun Kingdom into three parts.

Split country!

The emperor saw that the Wusun Kingdom, which occupied most of the Yishui River Valley, was too big, and he wanted to directly divide it into three parts!

"I don't want to make a wedding dress for someone."
