Chapter 334: Eyeing the Tiger
The old emperor of Yunshan Kingdom died after all, although everyone knew that this was inevitable, but they couldn't help but feel sad and sad in their hearts.
The whole country mourned, the shops were closed, white lanterns were hung in front of every house in the royal city, and the funeral of the emperor was grander than expected.
On the day of the funeral, the hundred officials saw off in mourning clothes, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites read out the eulogy, which naturally boasted that the old emperor was unique in the sky and the earth during his lifetime, Luo Tian, as the captain of the sin tiger, stood among the hundred officials, and it was inconspicuous in the huge crowd of the imperial tomb.
His mood is very complicated, the person who is about to be buried should be his biological father, but after a short time together, he just regarded the old emperor as an elder, likes fishing, likes hunting, and has his own unique views and opinions on things.
"May the gods bless Yunshan, the first emperor will be buried, the soul will return to the sky, and the ancestors will protect the royal family forever. ”
The official of the Ministry of Rites said loudly, after the words fell, the white paper flew, and the important minister cried and did not know how many people were sincere, but the Taifu must be sincere, the old minister cried with bloody eyes, and kept bowing in front of the tomb of the first emperor.
Luo Tian squatted on the ground, his head bowed, he was the last person the old emperor saw before he died, and the sentence of sorry still lingered in his mind until now.
The things of those years have passed, whether he is his biological father or the emperor, now they are all in peace, Luo Tian is about to face the new emperor ascending the throne, will Ji Yuan let go of the Luo family?
According to the ancient teachings of Yunshan Kingdom, the first emperor was buried only forty-nine days, and the new emperor was about to hold an enthronement ceremony, and during this time, Ji Yuan was already the most powerful person in the country.
After staying in the imperial tomb for a day, he returned to the palace after dark, but he had not rested, and everyone in the Luo family gathered in the hall to discuss what kind of situation would happen after the new emperor came to power.
"The second brother said, Ji Yuan will definitely move our Luo family, and the king has done nothing less than crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, we must be prepared. Lorraine spoke first.
"What do you think, Luo Tian?" asked Luo Kun.
Luo Tian lit a cigarette, thought about it and said, "I will talk to Ji Yuan again, if Ji Yuan insists on taking back the military power of our Luo family, he can only give it to him, at least to ensure the safety of our family." ”
No matter who the Luo family supports, the final result is actually the same, the six princes are like this, and the third prince is the same, they will not trust the Luo family like the old emperor, and the military power will not be handed over to the Luo family again.
Since ancient times, there have been too many brave generals who are depressed, Luo Kun can indeed fight and his cultivation is also very high, but in Ji Yuan's eyes, this is a double-edged sword, unless there is a major war in Yunshan Country, Luo Kun will not contact the army again.
"I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back to my room to rest first. Luo Tian stood up and wanted to leave.
But I heard Luo Mu ask, "Tian'er, are you okay?"
Luo Tian was stunned, shook his head, and walked out of the hall.
Life is like a play, sometimes it makes people feel happy and sometimes it is very ruthless, he is lying on the bed, Xiao Hei falls on the windowsill and tilts his head to look at him.
"Xiao Hei, what do you say this is like, I attended my father's funeral today, but I was not particularly sad, my biological father died like this......"
It's like a lifetime, people won't cultivate an inseparable family relationship because they meet once or twice, say more than a dozen words, and add a sentence that I am your biological father, at least not for Luo Tian.
In his opinion, the one buried today is only the emperor, but he is good, and his family still lives in this Luo family mansion.
Ji Yuan began to become very busy, the emperor was not so easy to do, and all kinds of matters big and small needed him to nod and order.
In the past, Luo Tian wanted to see Ji Yuan and go directly to the mansion, but now he has to wait outside the palace gate for a long time, and the ministers went in one after another, Luo Tian waited for two hours before it was his turn, and the palace people who took him in said that he only had five minutes.
It's like sitting in front of the Liushang Building all night, finally getting the number to go in for dinner and drinking, only to be told that the business will close in five minutes.
"You don't have to show me the way, I'm familiar with the palace. "Luo Tian suspects that the palace people are walking slowly.
"That's not going to work, the palace guards won't let you in without a minion leading the way. "The palace people know Luo Tian's identity, so they speak very politely.
At the door of the imperial study, the strength of the guards was twice as strong as in the past, and Luo Tian was stopped at the door, saying that it was not finished talking inside, so Luo Tian could not be let in.
Luo Tian stood at the door and looked inside, and after a while, he saw Yu Cheng walking out with a smile, and when he saw Luo Tianhou, he bowed his hand and said, "Xia Guan is here to congratulate Lord Luo first." ”
Luo Tian was stunned, when did he become a lord.
"Has Commander Yu been conferred?" Luo Tian asked.
Yu Cheng laughed and said: "Although it is not as good as Lord Luo's reward, but the emperor also gave me a third-class earl, hereditary replacement, and at the same time served as the commander of the forbidden army. ”
Yu Cheng originally had no title, and he was just the deputy commander of the forbidden army, which was equivalent to a partial general and a fourth-grade official, but now he is standing on the right backer, and it is understandable to add officials to the knighthood.
Luo Tian smiled and said, "That's congratulations." ”
But at this time, the palace people in the palace shouted loudly: "Luo Tian, the captain of the Tiger Battalion, will come to see you." ”
Entering the hall, Luo Tian was a little hesitant, according to the rules, he was going to kneel, but Ji Yuan on the other side was so familiar with him, although he became the emperor, he never knelt down as an emperor.
Ji Yuan also knew his temper, and stretched out his hand and said, "Flatten." ”
Luo Tian straightened up and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”
"Luo Tian, you came just in time, look at it, now this place is all mine, look at this dragon chair, look at this imperial study, I used to stand in the position where you stood, and my father sat on this dragon chair, and now I finally sit on it, but it is not very hard, not very comfortable. Ji Yuan looked excited.
Luo Tian smiled and said, "It seems that the emperor is in a good mood." ”
"I can sit on this chair, you and the Luo family have made great contributions, and we have already decided to make your father a first-class duke, and there can be three hundred acres of territory on the outskirts of the royal city, of course, the number of private soldiers cannot exceed three thousand, and you, I am ready to make you a second-class marquis, award you the title of cabinet scholar, and enjoy the treatment of the first grade, ten thousand taels of gold, one million taels of silver, okay?" Ji Yuan said excitedly.
There were a lot of rewards, but I didn't see a smile on Luo Tian's face.
"Are you not satisfied, then what do you want?" asked Ji Yuan.
Luo Tian bowed down, and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't need any reward, and my father doesn't need a territory, I just hope that you can allow my father and my brother to continue to lead troops to fight and guard the border for you, and I will also leave the Spirit Pavilion and break into the big 6." ”
Ji Yuan's face suddenly sank, and he looked at Luo Tian and said: "Regarding the question of who will be in command of the continuing corps, I have already decided, the two tiger talismans are all in the hands of me personally, and the corps will not move, but the generals will be rotated." ”
Luo Tianyi frowned, Ji Yuan did this nothing more than to firmly control the military power in his own hands, the impermanence of the army will greatly reduce the possibility of rebellion, there is no strong affection between the soldiers and the generals, it is impossible to have a riot, but in this way, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly weakened, and the strong elite soldiers originally cultivated by Luo Kun may gradually decline.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, it is not advisable to have an impermanent general, our Yunshan country is surrounded by enemies, and there are two major empires eyeing each other, if the combat effectiveness of the troops is weakened, the border may not be guaranteed, and then the land will be lost, please think twice. ”
"You don't have to worry about it. Ji Yuan's voice became much colder.
"Yes......"
"I see that your Luo family is loyal and has worked hard for too long to ensure the stability of the country, and now I hope that you will stay in the fiefdom to recuperate in peace, and don't worry about the war for the time being, as for the matter of the Ling Pavilion, I don't want you to go, so you can stay in the imperial city to assist me." ”
Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, you promised me to let me go to the Spirit Pavilion." ”
"Why don't I remember, and besides, it's your turn to question my decision?" Ji Yuan slapped the table, looking furious.
Luo Tian clenched his fists, and finally slowly lowered his head and said, "Obey the order, the minister will retire first." ”
He turned around to leave, but heard Ji Yuan say: "You and the Luo family can stay in the royal city with peace of mind, if you dare to leave the royal city without permission, you will be regarded as a repeat offender." ”
