A grand practice witnessed by countless people ended with the most magnificent ending. Luo Ling was very satisfied with the effect. The princes present would be in awe no matter who established the new dynasty.
Not to mention the various schools of thought, the leaders of those schools came to see Luo Ling respectfully. The orthodox Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism are all in Luo, and the current theoretical schools of Mohism are basically in Luo.
There are not many real Mohists outside the Luo family, and only the knight-errant style is left. Some of these people are real chivalrous people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and have the style of spring and autumn, while some are pure thieves.
Luoling was ready to liquidate some of them, but he had to wait until Xiang Yu granted the title of prince and the princes left Zhaocheng.
Nowadays, each school is just emerging, and has not yet formed a Confucian school to completely seize power. In the eyes of the princes, these people are talented, but they can come and go as soon as they are called, and it does not matter if they kill a few.
…
Sitting at the top of the hall, looking at the dark crowd in the hall, Xiang Yu finally found the feeling of being the master of the world. He was extremely happy now, feeling that he had reached the first peak of his life.
The most regrettable thing is that most of the people in the palace are his allies, and they only surrender to him in name. These people have territory, soldiers, money, and food. The only thing they lack is their status, not who they are now. The self-proclaimed king is a title with a sacred connotation.
"Everyone, since ancient times, has there ever been a lord of the world who was appointed without going through heaven?
Even Jie and Zhou Youli received their destiny when they came to the throne.
The emperor obeyed the orders of heaven to rule the world, which was called being ordered by heaven. The emperor appointed virtuous ministers as assistants and gave them titles, so they had names and obeyed the emperor's orders.
I worshiped heaven in Xianyang, and Luo Gong, on behalf of King Su, crowned me the co-owner of the world, so that I could ennoble you with noble titles and give you land to live in. "
Liu Bang looked at Xiang Yu with an envious look in his eyes, and once again said the words he said when he first met the First Emperor, "This is what a real man should be like!"
The common master of the world, jade seals and golden edicts, canonizing princes, and commanding the world, this is what men pursue.
Xiang Yu began to distribute the land according to the merits of the Shandong princes in the destruction of Qin. His principle was to make the land of the princes intertwined, so that no one could find faults. For example, the King of Han could not be granted the title of Yan, but he could not completely Handi was given to him.
As Xiang Yu began to read, the expressions of everyone in the hall were completely different. Some people showed ecstatic expressions, while others were full of anger.
King Lu Cheng of Qi stood up and said fiercely: "Overlord, you canonize me as King of Qi, but there is no land south of Linzi.
The State of Qi has been a state since King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, and Linzi has always been the capital of the State of Qi. Now that you are dividing the land like this, are you asking the widow to set the capital on the border?
Isn't this an insult to Qi? Jiang's surname is Lu, and he has been a nobleman for thousands of years. He will never suffer this humiliation! "
The main reason Lu Cheng dared to be so tough was because Luo Ling was in the palace. Even if Xiang Yu wanted to kill him, he wouldn't do it directly in front of Luo Ling.
As soon as Lu Cheng's remarks came out, everyone looked up at Xiang Yu, wanting to see his reaction.
Xiang Yu was not angry, but used the words he had prepared long ago and said: "King Qi.
All the Xia are one and the same family, so where is the border?
Are you worried that barbarians will suddenly rush to Linzi?
Aren't you relieved that the barbarians in the Central Plains have disappeared, and the brave Chu people are guarding your south?
Maintaining the stability of the Xia is what the common ruler of the world should do. King Qi, please sit down. "
King Lu Cheng of Qi didn't expect this. He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't speak. He felt a little uncomfortable for a while and could only sit down sadly.
Upon seeing this, several princes whose interests were harmed turned their attention to Liu Bang. Now only Liu Bang can refute Xiang Yu.
After all, the king of Guanzhong made an appointment with the princes of the Zhaocheng Alliance. Even if Xiang Yu is now the common leader of the world, he cannot break what he promised before.
Liu Bang watched his nose, ears and heart without saying a word. Luo Yi had already explained to Liu Bang after talking to Luo Ling before, and the people in the Liu Bang Group had already been mentally prepared.
Xiang Yu himself did not want to blatantly trample on the Zhaocheng Alliance, as that would be of no benefit to his legitimacy as the leader of the world, and Luo Ling would definitely oppose it.
After all, the Zhaocheng Alliance was Luo Ling's political achievement and it should be left in the history books. Of course, Xiang Yu would not be tolerated.
Although Xiang Yu did not give Liu Bang the position of King of Guanzhong, he gave Liu Bang nearly one-third of Guanzhong, plus Hanzhong and Bashu. The most I can say is that the food appearance is a bit ugly, but if it is true, it is justified.
…
In the quiet room, Luo Ling sat on the throne. The princes of Shandong all wanted to see him before leaving Zhaocheng, but not everyone could see him.
King Lu Cheng of Qi said angrily: "Gong Luo, Xiang Ji is really not a kind king. I helped him conquer the world, but he turned around and invaded the Huaisi land that belonged to Qi State. I heard that during the Zhou Dynasty, There is a wolf in Zhongshan. The farmer helps him, but in the end he wants to eat the farmer to fullness. Isn't this what Xiang Ji is doing now?
This is not something people can tolerate.
The princes of Shandong defeated the violent Qin together. Without the princes of Shandong, would it be possible for Xiang Ji to achieve such great results alone?
The princes supported him and became the common master of the world, but they took away the fertile land, the largest population, and countless gold and jade jewelry for themselves. I heard that even the wolves in the mountains know how to share food. Such an unfair thing, Is this what everyone in the world should do?
I don't want to obey him! "
Luo Ling looked at Qi Wang Lu Cheng and understood that these words were half true and half probing. Of course Qi King Lu Cheng was very angry, but he was more concerned about Luo Ling's attitude.
Luo Ling muttered: "Your Majesty, I heard that you dote on your eldest son very much. Please send him to Zhaocheng."
King Lu Cheng of Qi was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Gong Luo, is the situation so critical?"
He knew very well why Luo Ling did this. This was how Duke Huan of Qi came to Luo State, and then the regicide happened.
Usually, if Luo Shi brings the heirs of his allies in advance, it means that Luo Shi thinks there will be chaos and his life will be in danger.
Luo Ling nodded and said: "Your Majesty, you must be careful when you arrive in Qi. Ling has only one word to advise you. Glory and wealth are just fleeting. Don't lose your precious life for these useless things."
King Lu Cheng of Qi left Zhaocheng with worries, and Luo Yi took Liu Bang to Luoling's palace.
"Lord Luo."
"King of Han."
Liu Bang had many things to ask Luo Ling, but in the end he just asked: "Luo Gong, you told Ziyu before that Ji should prepare for war, saying that there will definitely be a war in Guanzhong, but the overlord is the common master of the world, and we are all his subjects. , what should we do if the Overlord does not stand by Ji's side and says that Ji is at fault?"
Luoling heard this and said: "King Han, there is only one kind of emperor. There are not two suns in the sky and two kings on the earth, but there are many types of titles, including king, duke and marquis.
A king is a friend; a duke is a guest; a prince is a minister. "
Luo Ling's words shocked Liu Bang. The king was an ally of the emperor. Although the emperor was supreme, the king was not a subordinate of the emperor.
The Duke is a guest of the Emperor, just like the Song Dynasty during the Zhou Dynasty. He is actually a minister, but he has many honorary privileges and does not need to visit the Emperor like a minister.
As for the marquis, they are the real ministers. This can be regarded as the new nobility system after the princes and princes were disqualified.
Luo Ling's words were telling Liu Bang that normally you should listen to Xiang Yu. After all, he is the co-leader and you recognize his status.
But you are the king after all, you are Xiang Yu's ally, and you help Xiang Yu govern the world. If he attacks you, he doesn't want to form an alliance with you, so you can just rebel.
But if you rebel on your own, then it is reasonable for Xiang Yu, the leader of the world, to call on the people of the world to attack you.
Liu Bang left here with satisfaction. Luo Yi asked softly: "Brother, the world is about to be in chaos, why do you want to live in seclusion?"
A cold light flashed in Luo Ling's eyes and he said: "In order to revive the family reputation, Brother Wei has been too sharp since he was born. Brother Wei knows that he shouldn't be like this, but he has to do it. It is a good thing to withdraw from people now.
Don't say that Xiang Yu is afraid of his brother. Even the King of Han behind you probably fears his brother more than respects him. If you can defeat Xiang Yu, Liu Bang will not be willing to appear in the world as his brother.
Some people are only suitable to be aloof and not come to the human world. Unknowingly, my brother became such a person. "
Luo Yi was silent.
Luoling's status was too high. He summoned the princes of Shandong to jointly defeat the violent Qin, crowned Xiang Yu in Zhaocheng, and was the leader of hundreds of schools in the world. The most important thing was the power of the Luo family itself.
That kind of power that completely surpassed human imagination gave Luo Ling a mysterious color, and he turned into an alien!
Looking at Luo Yi's somewhat heavy expression, Luo Ling laughed loudly, "Ayi, do you really think that the Brotherhood is sitting quietly in Zhaocheng?
When have you ever heard of someone locking themselves in a cage?
You are all Brother Wei's eyes, it's just that if there is no major event, Brother Wei will naturally leave Zhaocheng.
Now that we are brothers, we don’t have to run around like you do. Isn’t this a blessing? "
Luo Yi was stunned, and suddenly felt that he had indeed overthought it. Since his legs were on his eldest brother's body, it was up to him to decide where to go. Who could trap him?
After talking about the business, Luo Yi decided to report the affairs of Han Xin and Luo Cai to his eldest brother.
————
Zhaogong is very special among the Luo family. Compared with his ancestors who were too long ago, he lived in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, which is closer to the present era. His mythological color has been passed down. In the vast Central Plains area, he is regarded as Worshiping the wind god and rain god has been integrated into the local customs. ——"Luo Culture"
