After that banquet, Luosu returned to normal in the eyes of everyone.
His style is still tough, but he doesn't push people into corners.
He still handles political affairs in an orderly manner. Any problem he puts in front of him can be solved in a matter of seconds.
The Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Chen were often summoned by him. Under his supervision, they steadily promoted the return of the blood relationship between the princes surnamed Ji and the emperor.
A large number of princes with the surname Ji who already had very weak blood relations with the royal family, under the implementation of this system, the blood relationship between the future princes and the future emperor became closer again.
This is one of the policies pursued by Luosu. It may not seem important, but it is actually very important. The closeness of blood relationships will naturally affect the political tendencies of various vassal states in a subtle way.
Many vassal states united around the emperor, and suddenly, there was a prosperous scene like when King Su was regent.
Five years was neither long nor short. Ji Xi was crowned as pro-government, and the mission of the Regent Council was over.
The ruling body in this transition period came to the end of its life, and Luo Su returned the royal power to Ji Xi without delay.
That day, Ji Zhao received several system messages in succession.
[Your family’s political credibility has increased. 】
[All royal families are less wary of your family. 】
[Your family has become less attractive to Wang Zuo’s talents. 】
[The family tradition of your family has changed, and the probability of careerists appearing is greatly reduced. 】
The increase in the family's credibility is obvious. Not everyone can fulfill their political commitments and transfer the power of the regent in a straightforward manner.
As the Luo family's character of having no pursuit of the throne becomes deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, those talented people who long for the power of the dragon will no longer defect to the Luo family.
All heroes who are aspiring to the world will not regard Luo Shi as their opponent, and Luo Shi will also become the first choice of all emperors to take care of their orphans before they die.
As for the changes in family tradition, first of all, under the influence of Ji Zhao, his direct descendants could not have the ambition to usurp the throne.
The main influence of this family tradition is those non-direct direct descendants. The number of these people is not too large, but not too small. These people can still represent the Luo family.
The lower their ambitions, the more beneficial it is to the survival of the Luo family. However, Ji Zhao feels that as his influence on reality becomes greater and greater, he may be able to prevent this kind of thing in the future, where the descendants of the family rebel on their own, causing the entire family to be implicated. .
After Luosu stepped down from the position of regent, since he never acted on behalf of the king, he only served as the chief of the regency council and indirectly regent, with several other people sharing the power.
It was far from Ji Zhao's unparalleled status, so he still stayed in power in Wangji as the Chief of Heavenly Officials.
He ruled like this for more than ten years, until his body suddenly collapsed.
Luosu, who had been working hard for many years, suddenly fell ill one winter and soon became bedridden and unable to get up.
This news caused an uproar among Wang Ji, and Ji Xi immediately left the palace and came to Luo Su's mansion to visit.
"Teacher, you must take good care of your health. Bangzhou cannot live without a teacher for a day!"
Ji Xi looked a little sad. Not to mention the relationship between the two for many years, just because Luo Su had selflessly assisted him over the years, he could not accept such an important minister leaving him.
On the other hand, Luo Su himself was very calm. Life, old age, sickness and death were all destiny. Luo respected Heaven and knew his destiny.
The only thing he couldn't worry about was the state of Zhou and Sheji. Although the country had been prospering in recent years, there were still many hidden dangers.
"Your Majesty, I may really go to see King Su this time. I have something to say to the King."
Ji Xi held Luo Su's hand and said sadly, "Teacher, please tell me, listen."
"Your Majesty, King Li mobilized his troops to conquer Jingchu in the south. In the end, the six armies were wiped out. It took twenty years to recover.
Do you know why he failed?
Is it just because you are close to villains and stay away from virtuous ministers?
You absolutely cannot think so!
This is a dangerous idea. What if King Li succeeds in his southern expedition?
Your Majesty, you must remember that I have always told you that soldiers are the place of life and death and the path to survival.
Only by not fighting can you be undefeated. The emperor's six armies staying in Wangji are the greatest deterrent to everyone.
If you use weapons rashly, the emperor's strength will be spied on, which is intolerable.
The emperor's six armies are only used to quell the rebellion of the princes, and do not use troops against Rong and Di easily.
No matter where there is an invasion of Rong and Di, the princes must be summoned and their troops must be used to quell these Rong and Di.
I am very worried that future kings will personally conquer the barbarians and Rongdi in order to show off their martial arts. Once they fail, they will be doomed.
Enfeoffment and patriarchal clan are the emperor's swords, used to demonstrate the emperor's kindness and majesty. They should be used skillfully but not abused.
Especially for the territory of the king's territory, the enfeoffment must be cautious. If the princes outside the territory are available, the princes outside the territory will temporarily replace the princes within the territory.
You must respect those ministers who treat you respectfully, reprimand those who do not observe etiquette, and call on the princes at all times, so that they can get closer to you.
The patriarchal system is the last barrier to protect the emperor. You must warn all future kings not to take the lead in destroying it. The rituals will collapse, the music will be destroyed, and the state will not survive. "
Ji Xi was almost in tears. In the past years, he often heard Luo Su mention these words. When he was dying, Luo Su was still emphasizing these policies and systems that were crucial to the state, Zhou and the country. .
"Teacher, I know."
Seeing Ji Xi couldn't help nodding, he must have listened. Luo Su put forward his last wish and said: "Your Majesty, I hope to be buried in the ancestral land of Bangzhou, so that I can be closer to King Su."
"Okay, I will make arrangements now." Then the king's waiter immediately went down to prepare the chariot.
…
The journey from Luoyi to Haojing is not that short.
An army of several thousand people guarded Luosu's chariot. They tried their best to rely on Jin's sphere of influence. There would be much fewer Rongdi tribes along the way.
Luo Su was lying in the carriage, with layers of soft fabrics spread in the carriage. Any bumps would not affect him.
There were some wrinkles on his face and his complexion was not very good. He was lying quietly in his wife's arms, with his prince accompanying him.
"Father, Haojing City is coming soon."
Luo Su knew that he was going to die, so he asked Emperor Xi to be buried in Haojing City so that he could be closer to King Su.
Legend has it that people always think about their own lives before they pass away. Luosu can prove that this is not a legend.
He thought that his life had been smooth. He was born in a large country with the surname Ji. His eldest son was injured not long after he was born, and everything in the Luo family fell on him.
His great-grandfather was the regent Su Wang who was revered as a god by Zhou people. His grandfather and father were both three princes who assisted the emperor. Luo Kingdom was one of the most powerful Fang Kingdoms in the east.
Such a status cannot be compared to the Qi Kingdom, whose surname is Jiang, who has been married to the emperor for generations.
He took over his father's position as the third prince and assisted Ji Wan over the years. He didn't do much, but he prevented Ji Wan from doing many ridiculous things.
This has won him a high political prestige, and coupled with the heritage of the fourth generation of the Luo family, he is already vaguely inferior to one person.
Then Ji Wan refused to listen to the advice and insisted on marching south. In the end, he was defeated in the Han River and almost ended up with the entire army destroyed.
He died there, and Xiong Dun went north to threaten Wang Ji. He led his army to serve the king.
All the highlights of his life began with King Qin, who single-handedly retreated from the Chu army, which made his reputation skyrocketing.
The establishment of the Council of Regency brought his power to the pinnacle.
In his lifetime, he consecrated more than forty princes, and there were even more vassals who were not ranked as fifth-class nobles.
These princes are distributed between Haojing and Luoyi, and the farthest reaches the south of the Yangtze River.
With the rise of Haojing, Quanrong has not taken the initiative to provoke a war for a long time, but continues to move towards the west.
At least within fifty years, as long as a monarch like Ji Wan does not appear, Bang Zhou will not have to worry about the change of offensive and defensive momentum.
What else did you do?
I still met my ancestors. Will I see my ancestors again after I die?
Luosu's consciousness became increasingly blurry, and he vaguely seemed to see a palace with many statues in it.
But if you look closely, you can see that those statues are only half-finished products.
Among them is a statue of himself, which is so lifelike and spiritual that it almost looks like a real person.
what is that?
Luo Su felt a little close, like the call of blood.
"This is the Hall of Heroes. You are the first Heroic Spirit to come here." The ancestor's voice sounded.
Hall of Valor!
He knew all the information about the Hall of Valor in an instant, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Ancestor, I look forward to the day when I see you again."
A dying old man has endless light bursting out of his eyes.
His consciousness completely darkened!
[Luo Su, this is Luo's first destined son. The world and the earth share the same sorrow. They begin to calculate Luo Su's life achievements. You have obtained the earth-level item - Xumi Mustard Seed. 】
[Earth Level·Xumi Mustard Seed: The user can obtain a space that exists between nothingness and can store inanimate items. Note: The space can be opened to the head of the Luo family. 】
Ji Zhao did not hesitate and used it directly!
[You have obtained a Xumi Mustard Seed space, please explore it freely. 】
"Father is dead!"
The eldest son Luo Li, who was about to ascend to the throne of Luohou, said sadly.
"My lord is dead!"
The eunuchs in the Luo Kingdom announced this sad news to everyone with high-pitched voices.
"Woo~"
Sad cries resounded throughout the convoy, and the messenger who was always ready immediately went east to report the news to the entire Luoyi Wangji.
[Earth Level·Yingling Card, successfully sheltered blood descendants, sheltered character: Luo Su. 】
Ji Zhao quietly put away the card and looked at his favorite descendant. This was the third time that he had to send away his direct blood descendant.
He devoted a lot of effort to Luo Su, paving the way for him to succeed to the throne, answering his questions, appearing completely in front of the descendants of the Luo family for the first time, giving him the Divine Artifact of Destiny, and spending a lot of luck to bestow it on him. Ancestors bless you.
The rewards Luo Su brought to him were also quite generous. Now that he has passed away, Ji Zhao also feels a little sad.
Then he set his sights on the new head of the Luo family.
[Ancestors: Ji Zhao, Luo Zhao
Patriarch: Luo Li (the fifth generation descendant of the Luo family with the surname Ji)
Title: Marquis (Monarch)
Country: Zhou Dynasty (Luo Kingdom).
Faction: Royal Family.
Ability attributes: power struggle: 78; governing the country: 79; governing people: 94; command: 72; force: 70; military strategy: 73.
Faction reputation: hatred, indifference, neutrality, friendliness, respect, worship.
House owner’s reputation:
①Royal family: friendly; ②Royal family: friendly; ③Princes: friendly; ④Army: friendly; ⑤People of the country: friendly.
Family reputation:
①Royal family: respect; ②Royal family: respect; ③Princes: neutral; ④Army: friendly; ⑤People of the country: respect. 】
In terms of ability attributes, this can be regarded as an enhanced template for Duke Huan of Qi. The 94-point imperial attribute shows that he is extremely proficient in the art of governance, can perfectly maintain the balance of power, and also has his own experience in employing people.
As a vassal king, with Luo's prestige and degree of control in the Luo Kingdom, it is enough for him to know how to govern people, and with 79 points of governing the country, it is more than enough to manage a vassal state of several hundred miles.
But for a minister who wants to serve as one of the three princes among the princes, his ability to fight for power and govern the country is the lowest among all the Luo Hous in the past. This means that he needs to form a shogunate and appoint talented people to advise him.
However, after Luosu's management, there are no major problems in Bangzhou now. It is enough to do some repair work.
Starting from Luo Su, Ji Zhao's influence on reality has become greater and greater. He left a whiteboard prop bamboo stick to Luo Li, took away all the other props, and left here directly.
Luo Li felt a chill in his brows, and a piece of information appeared in his mind out of thin air.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes. As a successor, he knew about the existence of his ancestors.
But he only now knows the top secrets of the Luo family that only the head of the family knows about the Divine Artifact of Destiny.
The motorcade carrying Luosu's body entered Haojing City, and countless nobles came to express their condolences. In the years when he no longer worked hard to weaken the nobles, his prestige was even higher than before.
With the messenger working hard, he quickly returned to Luoyi and brought news about Luosuxun.
Emperor Xi was very sad and sent the highest-level team, with the head of the state, Chen Hou, going to Haojing to express his condolences on his behalf.
He summoned the ministers in the palace and began to discuss the most important thing for a political figure - the posthumous title.
Of course everyone proposed a good posthumous title, but in the end it was Emperor Xi who made the final decision and gave him the posthumous title of "Wen".
"The posthumous law says that the teacher is called Wen, who has the ability to guide the heaven and the earth; the moral blog is called Wen, and the teacher has noble character and erudition, which is suitable for this posthumous title; there is also a title given to the people, called Wen, and the teacher is very feudal, so he should Wen also means being strong and not violent, being loyal and accepting gifts, etc.
Besides, the one the teacher admires most in his life is King Suwen.
In the past, King Suwen assisted King Kang, just like a teacher assisting a humble person.
The teacher was buried next to King Su Wen and was called Luo Wen Gong. It must have been a joy and a good talk. "
All the princes and ministers worshiped him and called him the Emperor.
…
Duke Luo Wen had a far-reaching vision, the courage to carry out his duties, and the ability to navigate the world. Since he was appointed, he worked hard and took charge of major affairs. In the past twenty years, the country was cleared and the royal industry was revived.
After King Su, who has made his achievements shine in the annals of history, who can surpass him? ——"Historical Records of the Luo Family"
