Outside Chang'an City, a carriage drove slowly. The driver was not in a hurry, and the people in the carriage were also in no hurry. They were looking at the book in their hands and reading silently.
Then dozens of knights ran out of the city and came straight towards the carriage. These people were wearing fine armor. They looked like the Imperial Guards of the Han Emperor. After running to the carriage, they dismounted one after another. The leader said loudly: "Sir, I have been ordered by the Queen Mother to take you into the palace."
Naturally, Luo Xin was in the car. He raised the curtain slightly, looked at the Chang'an City in front of him, and said with some emotion: "Chang'an, Chang'an, long time no see."
Weiyang Palace.
Lu Pheasant looked at Luo Xin in front of him. He still looked the same as he did in the old days, with light in his eyes and a sassy temperament. After traveling all over the world these years, he was even filled with a misty feeling.
The people in Mo Shang are like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world, as the saying goes.
"Sir, long time no see."
Lu Pheasant looked at Luo Xin nervously, as if she was a girl. She couldn't help but touch the corners of her eyes, thinking that the one or two wrinkles should have been covered up, "You really still have the same style. It seems that the years have not affected you." There are no traces left on my body, but I am already old.”
This is how beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Luo Xin is not a magical beauty with ageless beauty like Xi Shi and Ji Lingjun. How come there is no change at all?
Although the charm has not decreased, but has become higher, the changes are still obvious.
Moreover, Lu Pheasant is not old. She has only been married to Liu Bang for more than ten years. How can a woman in her thirties be old?
"Queen Mother."
Luo Xin was about to speak, but was directly interrupted by Lu Pheasant, "Master, please call me Ejiao, why are you so angry?"
Luo Xin opened his mouth, looked up at the dome of the hall, then looked straight at Lu Pheasant, and said leisurely: "Eshan, after so many years, you are still like this, unchanged."
Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have changed a lot, but of course I have not changed for you. You made great achievements back then, but the late emperor...
Now that you are back, I will compensate you for everything you deserve. "
Luo Xin drank the wine at the table in one gulp and smiled casually, "Fame, wealth and fame are all dust."
Lu Pheasant came from the main seat, and the maids who were waiting for her all retreated. She walked to Luo Xin and sat down. There was a punch distance between them. This was a tacit understanding between the two.
If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you. It’s the friendship between gentlemen.
Lu Pheasant reached out and took out the wine vessel to pour wine for Luo Xin, and said softly: "Master, please have a drink."
Luo Xin took it, and felt the aroma fragrant to his nose. He couldn't help but feel tight in his heart. He held the wine glass with a slight force, and heard Lu Zhi whispering softly: "Master, you are a person in the sky, but because of my concubine, you have to step into this place." A turbid place.
Back then, you taught me and Le'er, sent me to the Han army, and saved my life among the thousands of troops. You also protected me for several years in the Chu camp.
You are the person I trust the most, and you are very kind to me. I really don’t know how to repay you, so I can only give you what everyone in the world wants. "
This may be the most sincere and sincere words that Lu Fei has ever said in her life. She has now made no secret of the fact that she loves Luo Xin. If Luo Xin was not the young master of the Luo family, she would have recommended herself as a pillow.
Of course, if you are in love now, it is also good to stop being polite. Lu Zhi will not force it.
Luo Xin drank all the wine in his hand. Although he returned to Chang'an City with the intention of helping Lu Zhi, he also thought about it for a long time.
The eldest brother's status is too special and too high to assist the emperor.
The second brother is said to have received a mission from King Su to explore an unknown land called the Western Regions.
The third brother is Liu Bang's confidant. As Liu Bang's entrusted minister, he went to South Korea to serve as prime minister. It is impossible to come back in a short time.
Suddenly, the only person in the huge political center was Han Xin, Luo's son-in-law. Although this was not a big deal, Luo Xin was unwilling.
He solemnly said: "Eshen, what are you going to do, what do you want me to do?"
Lu Zhi said seriously: "I want to be the regent, but I don't know what the ministers think. No one knows how much power the queen and queen mother have. I want to test it out."
Luo Xin directly waved his hand and said: "There is no need to test, yin and yang are one, the emperor and the empress shine together, balance is the most important thing in this world.
This kind of matter without standards means that we need to cut through the mess quickly and just set the rules ourselves. We must not leave it to the outer court for discussion.
The power of the queen should be compared to that of the emperor, and the power of the queen mother should be beyond that of the emperor, at least when the emperor has not yet taken charge.
You can directly declare the regency as the Queen Mother on the grounds of tradition. The ministers will definitely be surprised, but there will not be many people who object. If anyone objects, my sword blade will pierce his throat.
The most important thing in doing this is military power. Although Marquis Lu is not in the army, he still has great influence. Han Zimu is on our side, and there is not much hindrance to your regency. "
In the current Han Dynasty, there is a very outrageous thing, that is, the power of the Luo Lu Alliance is comparable to the Ji Jiang Alliance in the early Zhou Dynasty.
The core of this group is Liu Ying's identity. Through Liu Ying's status as emperor, Lu Pheasant can legally seize the supreme rule. Then the two military bosses Han Xin and Lu Ze represent the Luo and Lu families respectively, which is enough to suppress Those heroes.
Although Luo Yi was prime minister in South Korea, he could return to Chang'an with a transfer order and resume his position as a high-ranking official. As Liu Bang's confidant, he had served as prime minister in Chang'an for many years. His strength and prestige should not be underestimated.
Among these people, although Han Xin and Luo Yi are not loyal to Lu Pheasant, as long as Lu Pheasant does not do anything excessive, they will side with Lu Pheasant in the political struggle.
The attitude of Han Xin and Luo Yi is what worries her the most. Although the Thousand-Year Blood Alliance is here, Lu Pheasant doesn't know where Luo Yi's bottom line is. As a close confidant of Liu Bang, he also accepted the official position of Liu Ruyi as the Prime Minister. Will he really sit back and watch Luo Yi? Pheasant regent, seizing the power that belongs to Liu Ying?
Now hearing Luo Xin's analysis, Lu Pheasant finally relaxed and said: "Master, I am going to hand over the palace guards to you first. If you hold the sword, I can rest assured.
Then find time to make you a marquis based on your contribution to saving the emperor.
With the title of Marquis, you can hold the high position of the Three Dukes. "
The two chatted for a while. Liu Le learned the news that Luo Xin had come to the palace and hurriedly came to Weiyang Palace.
When he opened the door, he saw that it was indeed Luo Xin. He walked in quickly, saluted Lu Zhi first, then knelt down beside Luo Xin, like a cheerful lark, and chirped: "Brother, you guys Where did Nian go? Why didn't he come to Chang'an to see Ah Le?
Ale really misses you. "
Luo Xin looked at Liu Le, who had grown up after not seeing him for many years, and felt a little nostalgic for the quiet time he spent in that small courtyard. He taught Lu Pheasant and Liu Le.
"Ale, as a brother, I will stay in Chang'an City forever."
Liu Le was filled with joy again, while Lu Pheasant looked at this scene with an obscure look in his eyes.
After walking out of the palace gate, Luo Xin turned around and looked at the majestic palace, which was the political center of the world. Suddenly, a rare surge of lofty ideals surged in his heart.
Maybe I can achieve the achievements of the Second Duke of Wenxuan and add another glorious stroke to the glorious history of the family?
…
Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.
Luo Cai naturally has her own Anyang Marquis Mansion in Chang'an City, but there is no reason for husband and wife to live apart in this world, so she lives in Huaiyin Marquis Mansion.
"Fourth brother is well."
Luo Xin has traveled all over the world in these years, and there is no big festival in Zhaocheng that requires all the direct descendants to be present. The brother and sister have not seen each other for a long time. When they suddenly see each other, the younger sister in his impression has become a mother and has become much more mature. But the sparkle between the eyebrows and eyes is still the same as in the past. One look at the life he has lived these years makes him very happy.
Han Xin also said respectfully: "Fourth brother is well."
Over the years, he realized more and more how lucky he was to be able to marry Luo Cai. Luo Cai's resources were so abundant.
Not to mention a person like him who is inherently talented, even a mediocre person, as long as Luo is willing, he can make his name famous in history as a good writer.
Seeing that Luo Xin was still alone, Luo Cai asked with a hint of sadness in his eyebrows: "Fourth brother, have you gone to the palace to see the Empress Dowager?"
Luo Xin was a little dumbfounded and said: "Acai, what's your expression?
Indeed, she had just come out of the palace, and the Queen Mother was still as trusting as before, trusting her brother. "
"The emperor is young, and the world needs people to assist him in governing. I'm afraid the Queen Mother wants to be regent, right?
The Lu family is already so prominent, but unlike our Luo family, which has been virtuous for generations, it is not a good thing to stand too high. "
Luo Cai still had a very clear understanding of people's hearts. Luo Xin nodded and said straightforwardly: "Yes, but the Queen Mother wants to do something good.
The only thing she was worried about was the reaction of the ministers, and she was unwilling to start a fight because of this. I comforted her in the palace. "
Luo Cai was silent for a moment after hearing this and did not express any further opinions. Instead, he smiled and said: "Fourth brother, you have been alone for so many years and do not want to marry. Last time Cai went to Zhaocheng, the eldest brother was still talking about this matter.
My sister has met quite a few talented and beautiful women over the years. "
Luo Xin knew that Luo Cai had agreed to let Lu Pheasant regent. Hearing this, Luo Xin laughed and said, "You girl, you actually made fun of your brother."
The news that Luo Xin returned to Chang'an spread quickly, and then caused a lot of discussion in private, because Luo Xin was an extremely rare hero who was not from the hero group.
The ministers who currently hold almost all the power in the Han Dynasty, except for the Yuan Cong heroes like Fengpei Group, even the survivors of the Six Kingdoms like Zhang Liang, or the relatives of heroes like Lu Ze, all followed Liu Bang to conquer the world.
Luo Xin's greatest achievement was saving the lives of the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the eldest princess. This achievement was certainly great, but it gave people a feeling that it was incompatible with current politics.
But everyone knew that this Luo family member would soon be in a high position, because the Queen Mother trusted Luo Xin, and many people even secretly speculated about the relationship between the two.
There are more than a hundred heroes with different personalities and IQs. We cannot expect everyone to be rational.
Of course, this kind of speculation is only said in private. After all, Luo Xin has not completely touched their interests and is not considered a political enemy.
————
Empress Lu was the first empress in Chinese history. After becoming the empress dowager and regent, she had almost the highest power in the entire dynasty, and was able to use it properly to make the society prosperous and the country stable. To this day, Empress Lu is still One of the most popular historical figures in the early Han Dynasty, not only because of the scandals that could not be shaken off, but also because of the recognition of her achievements. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
Luo Xin: You didn’t expect that I am the protagonist.
