Yinghou State.

Contemporary Yinghou Luo looked at the letter in front of him with some complexity, and sitting next to him was the contemporary Lu Hou Lu Chang, the letter was sent by Wang Mang to Lu Hou, and the content was very simple.

It was simply to explain the situation between the world and the court to him.

Finally, he said: "In the past, Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaoxuan both made an oath, and more than two hundred years have not changed."

But if the Great Han is overturned, these oaths will be reduced to ashes.

If we don't save the community now, when will we wait? ”

Guarding the Liehous.

A force to be reckoned with since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

Especially in the game of local counties, between the great heroes of the scholars, the county magistrates, and the town guards, only the townsmen are invincible.

The worst outcome is to cut down on the closure and then relocate.

This can be regarded as the royal family's return to the guards of the princes.

Luo Zhong put down the letter, then looked at Lu Chang next to him and asked, "Wen Chang is willing to send a letter for Wang Jujun, presumably to support him?" ”

Lu Chang shook his head directly and said: "Of course not, the family's norms will never change, that is, to follow in the footsteps of the emperor."

But families also have their own interests.

Since the Jingjing, we have rarely inserted our hands directly into the central court.

Recommending talents only through inspections and other methods is much worse than the most glorious years.

Twenty years ago, Qingzhou Assassin History, but a 600-stone official, dared to use the power of supervision to directly bully the Lu family, if it wasn't for his father's decisive response, that is, the Mo Lu family would have made a fool of himself in front of the world.

In recent years, natural disasters have been frequent, there are many displaced people in Qingzhou, and bandits have emerged in an endless stream.

The family's land and caravan have been hit, and many of the clansmen who went out have died outside, and after that incident happened ten years ago, they directly ordered that the women of the family were not allowed to leave the Hou Kingdom at will.

This was unimaginable before.

Brother Zichen, I heard that the caravan of the Yinghou Kingdom was robbed by water bandits on the ground in Yangzhou, which is an extremely bad sign.

Although the caravan of the Yinghou Kingdom does not add the Lotus logo, it used to be at least a little scruples, and now it ......

If it doesn't change, Qingzhou is already a densely populated place, and when the displaced people rise around, they will soon be able to roll out a powerful rebel army.

At that time, as a town guard, it was very likely that the family would be destroyed.

Many people have forgotten the disaster of the last emperor, but the Lu family has not forgotten how many princes have been defeated and how many princes and kings have been killed on the throne.

There are no eggs under the nest!

Even with Luo's prestige, once the world is in turmoil, it is extremely difficult to be alone.

The people's hearts are like flowing water.

The Lu family has a good reputation in Qingzhou, but it is still not spared.

Wang, who is from the Kanto region, is of course aware of this, so he persuaded me, and I admit that I was persuaded by him.

This world really can't be changed! ”

Lu Chang's words were full of worry and vague fear, and then he sighed heavily.

It is too difficult to maintain the wealth of a family.

Although the princes are not as fast as the princes and kings, there were hundreds of princes at the time of the founding of the country, and now, there are not many princes who are still there.

After all, the change of the imperial throne is frequent, and the nobles who are dependent on the emperor will definitely be affected, and many of them will be changed to other places.

And if you can't get military merit, the number of households will be cut again and again.

Although even if they lost their titles in the end, they had nearly a hundred years of reproduction and accumulation, and they still had a lot of wealth, heirlooms, and political connections, these former liehou families could easily transform, and even because they lost their shackles, they could expand wildly.

But Lu Chang was unwilling!

Or that several great princes are unwilling, and their titles and surnames are their pride.

Wang Mang saw this force.

He understood that the strength of the guards was still very large, and if these people stood on the opposite side of him, then his great cause would definitely be affected.

Luo Zhong groaned and asked, "This letter is definitely not only for the two of us, there must be other lieges.

So what will other families do?

Can these central powers, which have been away from the imperial court for many years, still allow them to maintain a calm mind?

Faced with this opportunity to return to the center, what will these liehou families think?

Now that the emperor does not support the reform, what can you and I do?

Could it be that there will be another martyrdom and pull the emperor down?

That Marquis Ying and Marquis Lu may become synonymous with rebellious ministers and thieves in the future!

The more you are at this moment, the more you can't be in a hurry, first straighten out the situation around your own marquis to ensure a more stable environment, and then think about other things. ”

Lu Chang nodded with a deep groan when he heard this, he was indeed a little dizzy because of what had happened over the years.

Naturally, those great princes have received letters, and compared to some of them, as long as they don't think about the future, these great princes are still living a more comfortable life.

Because the Hou State has a large population and a large private army, it has strength in the local area.

Once they are pressed, they can let such a bully official take a good look at what is called the foundation of the founding fathers.

In the face of Wang Mang's solicitation, many declining princes climbed up, but the attitude of these founding princes was very ambiguous.

Especially those who have a golden order.

Because Wang Mang is not the emperor after all, and his momentary prominence is nothing, these families are often one or two hundred years old, and if every powerful minister went to cling, he would have died I don't know how many times.

The letter did not make Wang Mang feel any frustration.

Because guarding the liehous is one of the last layers of insurance for the emperor, the relationship between him and the emperor is not particularly harmonious, and the liehous naturally have concerns.

But he did it easily to win over the liehous, and he didn't take it particularly seriously.

Because now is not the time for appeasement, if it is any time, in the face of the marquis who is full of martial virtues, Wang Mang really needs to be scrupulous.

But now most of the princes and princes of Kanto, after so many years of glory and wealth, most of them have lost the bravery of the past.

Even if these princes and princes are combined, they actually have no threat to the Chang'an court, and even in Wang Mang's eyes, if there is no emperor to pull the shelf, the princes who guard the princes are not necessarily stronger than the local heroes.

In Wang Mang's restructuring plan, the liehous are not among the key targets, they are originally a group of waste, what is there to fight?

No one has said these two items, but the policy has been implemented for so many years, resulting in whoever controls the center will control the world, unless the world is opposed.

But Wang Mang is not worried at all, when he grasps the power of the imperial court, as long as he does not get to the situation where the order of Emperor Lu collapsed, he will be invincible with three rivers and six counties and Yulin orphans!

No one is his enemy!

……

For Wang Mang, Zhaocheng Luo's has also been paying attention, after all, the world has not seen such a high reputation for many years.

When Wang Mang came to Zhaocheng to study, he was relatively famous, and it was also circulated among Luo's sons, and he even got an evaluation of "his sincerity is almost fake".

Although this evaluation sounds strange, it is indeed a real compliment, Wang Mang's firm heart, anyone who sees it will shout.

"The head of the family, the former Imperial Historian, suddenly participated in the rebellion and committed suicide at home, and the emperor appointed Wang Mang as the Imperial Historian.

Wang Jujun has been promoted to the imperial historian in just four months after serving as Guangluxun, and it is said that the prime minister is submitting his resignation to the emperor, hoping to beg for bones.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Mang will soon be promoted to prime minister, because the Han Dynasty does not have a great general Sima now, and he will basically control the government.

Wang Mang is the leader of the scholars of the reform faction, is this a change of attitude of the emperor? ”

Luo Fu, the contemporary head of the family, muttered: "The biggest possibility is that the emperor is under great pressure, after all, there is still the empress dowager pressing him above, and the voice of restructuring in the court is getting louder and louder, and even the town guards and princes have begun to report the bad situation in various places, and the people's grievances are too great to be suppressed." ”

————

In the summer of the seventeenth year of the god of God, the people of Kwantung changed in all directions, the bandits intensified, the princes then held swords, broke the gold order to take charge of the county soldiers ten, and even more, the princes could not protect the three gold orders a year, and said: "Pity the disaster of the emperor, the exiles are far more than this, and they also draw their swords. ”

The princes are connected, they all bow their heads and sigh, they can't cheer up, the bandits break the country four, the dead eleven, the meritorious ones restore their social crops, the transgressors cut the households and reduce the people, the seven who take the lord and remove the country, and the princes are declining, all at this time. ——"Hanshu: Chronology of the Princes since the Han Dynasty"
