After Luo Ren returned to Luo Kingdom, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. After falling ill again, malignant sores appeared on the old wounds, and he was actually dying.
This was something Ji Zhao didn't expect. He had never seen two family heads send away within a month.
In a daze, Luo Ren saw an extremely noble man standing in front of his couch, "King Su, ancestor, I finally see you, are you going to die?"
He was speechless, he just wanted to cry loudly.
"I have a magic weapon that can cure your illness, but it's a mental illness of yours. If you can't adjust it, it will still relapse."
Ji Zhao originally wanted to use medicinal talismans to save his life. He was still very good to his children and grandchildren, but he found that Luo Ren was a physiological disease caused by a heart disease. Even if he was cured this time, he would still get sick soon.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ren shook his head and said: "King Su, please don't use divine objects on Ren.
Twenty years ago, Ren led the Luo clan in a bloody battle in the country of Ying. Countless clan members died there, and many of their bodies could not even be found. Ren had a high fever at that time, but he suddenly recovered. It was you who saved him at that time. Come on.
Now that we have fallen to this point again, it is really unfilial to benevolent, and I have asked you to take care of me.
Back then, Ren inspired his clansmen with the glory of Bangzhou, but in the end it ended like this.
This time I returned to the country and saw the young guards guarding the palace.
Most of them are the children of tribesmen who died twenty years ago. Seeing them now reminds me of the time when Ren broke his promise and did not even dare to talk to them.
Bangzhou failed to prosper, and Renying died in Yingguo that year. "
Ji Zhao could see that Luo Ren was smiling, but his eyes were dull. This meant he had a desire to die. He had no face to face his people. This was the influence of the Luo family tradition, where love and hate were very clear.
Ji Zhao always let nature take its course when it came to matters that did not endanger the family inheritance. Seeing King Su leave, Luo Ren cried bitterly, and he forcibly stood up and knelt down to worship.
Keeping the posture of kneeling and worshiping, he died of exhaustion!
"My lord!"
"Haotian, King Su, does this mean God doesn't love the Luo family?"
All the people beside the bed were crying loudly, and two kings died in a short period of time.
Before the funeral of the previous term was completed, the funeral of this term began, making everyone feel that the sky was falling.
Especially what Luo Ren said before his death made all the Luo Kingdom clans feel the same. If you count them carefully, which family had no heirs and died in the Promised Two Countries?
The monarch died in grief and anger, which made the princes of the Luo Kingdom have no favorable impression of the royal family. When the news spread, it caused a sensation even greater than that of Wang Zi'an who killed his brother.
Wang Zi'an's face turned pale, "How could this happen?"
He knew that he would not be recognized by Luo Guo, and the crime of killing his brother would always be on him.
But his son can do it. He has done all the dirty work. After his death, the relationship between the royal family and the Luo Kingdom will eventually ease. But now that Luo Hou died of grief and anger, I am afraid it will take hundreds of years. Chao Zhou.
What about the state of Bangzhou?
The inheritance of the throne of the Luo Kingdom is naturally in order. Luo Ren's eldest son Luoyang has grown up. He took care of his father's funeral and went to the ancestral temple to worship King Su and the ancestors of the past generations, becoming the third son of the Luo Kingdom. Eleven kings.
Although Luo Cheng and Luo Ren passed away one after another, the political legacy left to Luoyang is still very rich, and there is no problem with his ability to govern a country.
The first thing Luoyang did after taking office was to renovate all the patriarchal laws and Zhou rites, carve characters on bronze pillars, and then erect these bronze pillars in the city of Zhaodu for all the people to watch.
This move was equivalent to expressing to the whole world the dissatisfaction of the Luo Kingdom with the Emperor Zhou of Luoyi, and they almost pointed their noses at him and scolded him as a traitor who trampled on the patriarchal laws and did not abide by Zhou etiquette.
All the princes in the world came to the Luo State to attend the funeral, and the Chu State naturally also sent condolence envoys to the Luo State.
Luo Yan had just received the news of his father's death, and then he also received the news of his brother's death. Now some people in Chu State who initially complained about him began to sympathize with him. It was really miserable.
Luo Yan, who was planning to personally lead an army to attack the Zhou royal family, resigned from his general duties to the Marquis of Chu and wanted to take his wife and children to the Luo Kingdom for the funeral.
The Marquis of Chu agreed to his request and asked him to take the Chu State's envoy. Although Chu State was hostile to the Zhou royal family, since Luo State did not stand with the Zhou royal family this time, there was no need to offend Luo State.
Moreover, Luo Yan is a true direct descendant of the Luo family, and his children are all direct descendants of the Luo Kingdom. Ji Zhao's ancestral blessing can protect them, so it is unjustifiable not to worship King Su.
A large number of troops from Chu State came up the river. All the troops from Shen and the two countries were guarding the city and did not dare to go out to fight in the field.
Luo Zhongshu was originally hesitant about whether to help the Zhou royal family, but when he heard that his nephew died in grief and anger, he completely lost his guard.
He ordered all Ying soldiers not to go out to fight and allowed the Chu army to pass through. He even went out of the city in person to deliver food and grass to the Chu army.
So when the Chu army arrived at Wang Ji, they faced only the Zhou and Zheng coalition forces!
It’s true that if you follow the right path, you will get a lot of help, but if you don’t follow the right path, you will get few help. If you do too much unrighteousness, you will surely die!
The Chu army was stationed directly at the foot of Songshan Mountain, which was not even far from Luoyi!
The army of the Zhou royal family and the army of Zheng were at the foot of Taishi Mountain to defend against the sudden attack of the Chu army.
"Wang Zi'an, how can a man who kills his brother rule the world?
Will God bless a thief like him? "
The prince of Chu State angrily scolded Zhou Jun directly.
Ji An and Zheng Hou gathered together and discussed how to retreat the Chu army. The two of them did not want to fight the Chu army at all.
Especially Ji An, he knows that the royal family's military strength is not weak, but he has not yet been able to control the army. If he goes to war rashly, if an accident occurs, he will not tolerate it.
So Zheng Hou said to Ji An: "Your Majesty, the Chu army slandered you for killing your brother. This is nonsense. This must have been deceived by a traitor.
As long as you express enough sincerity, Chu State will be able to understand you.
The Queen Mother Chu Mi missed her hometown and returned to the Kingdom of Chu. She is your legitimate mother, and you should be filial. Why not hand over the suzerainty of the Tang Kingdom to the Queen Mother as a place of retirement. "
Marquis Zheng wanted to give a vassal state named Ji to Chu State, but Ji An actually thought that this was a good idea. Anyway, Tang State would be annexed by Chu State sooner or later, so it would be okay to give it away now.
"When the time comes, I will allocate a piece of land for Tang Hou as compensation in Wang Ji. I believe Tang Hou is also willing."
After discussing the countermeasures, Ji An quickly sent people to the Chu army's camp, and Xiong Dan was about to drive the Wang envoy out.
The messenger quickly shouted loudly: "Prince, the king is willing to use the Tang Kingdom as a place to support the queen mother as a way of fulfilling his filial piety."
Xiong Dan's expression changed several times, but he finally brought the envoy into the camp.
The outcome between the royal family and the Chu State once again shocked everyone in the world.
The royal family's military strength is not weak. Luo Xuangong has spent so many years selling the blood of the Luo Kingdom, sucking the blood of the princes, and using all means to build a strong army for the royal family.
Why was the land cut off without fighting?
Naturally, they didn't know what Ji An was thinking. He was a conspirator and did not trust the troops trained by Luo Xuangong at all.
In this regard, Ji An understood the essence of being invincible without fighting. He used the land of the Tang State that he considered unimportant in exchange for Chu's retreat, and used acceptable results to prevent unknown serious consequences.
Luoyang no longer cares about this. He now understands why his father died in grief and anger, because the price Luo Guo has paid over the years has been too great!
"From the founding of the Luo Kingdom to the present, nearly three hundred years ago, there are only 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Luo Kingdom's genealogy, including all the old, weak, sick and disabled clans in the Luo Kingdom's genealogy, including the side branches?
Gu heard that in the early years of King Yi, there were three thousand brave warriors in the Luo Kingdom composed of pure sons of the public clan! "
Luoyang asked in disbelief, and his third uncle sighed: "The strength of the Luo Kingdom has been recovering in recent years, but the casualties among the children of the public family have been too great, and for some reason, the children of the public family have given birth to very few bastards. This This resulted in a lack of population replenishment for the public clan.”
Luoyang had never heard his father talk about this before, and he never thought that Luo State would pay such a high price for the prosperity of Bangzhou.
"The Luo Kingdom must shrink its front line. We can no longer let the children of the public clan join the army on a large scale, and let them all come back to have children. With such a small population, how can the brave warriors talk about rebuilding?"
"Your Majesty, if you let the sons of the public clan retire, then we will have to give up a lot of land."
The Dukes, Qings, and people of the Luo Kingdom are the main force in the army, especially the children of the Dukes of the Luo Kingdom. They have received military training since childhood and are the backbone of the Luo Kingdom army.
"Let's give up some for now. The population is the most important thing in the country. Just hold the important position in your hands. When the population recovers, you can take it back at any time."
For such a large-scale strategic shift, it is not only necessary to notify the domestic ministers, but also to notify the traditional allies of Qi to prepare them.
With the great changes in the royal family and the Luo Kingdom, the entire Zhuxia world slipped towards the unknown.
…
When King Xi came to the throne, the Chu State attacked him. He did not dare to fight. He ceded territory to bribe Chu. He had no power, no power, and no courage. How could he not be defeated? ——"Historical Records·Zhou Benji"
I won’t let go of Luoyang’s attributes, he is just an excessive person.
The Marquis of Jin killed the king and the King of Xi killed his brother, Zheng Bo shot King Huan in the shoulder, and the King of Chu forced the King to cut off his territory. Brothers, which one do you think had a greater impact on the authority of the emperor, this or in history?
