Luo Xin stood on the high steps of the main hall, watching the sect king Chehou leave the palace. Luo Yi walked to him and said softly: "A Xin."
Luo Xin bowed slightly and said, "Brother?"
However, Luo Yi did not stop, and walked straight forward, leaving only one sentence, "A Xin, you are not the late emperor, you should be more careful when doing things, and you should not kiss each other when you are not close."
Luo Xinyan was stunned when he saw that the third brother had already walked down the steps. He shook his head helplessly. He did not expect that there would be a day when the third brother would worry about him.
Lu Pheasant walked to his side, and the two of them looked at the figures walking out of the palace. Lu Pheasant suddenly smiled and said, "Sir, do you think these princes and kings will pay their taxes on time?"
Luo Xin dismissed those complicated thoughts and said with a smile: "Eshan, they will, at least while we are alive.
Not only these princes and kings, but also the Che lords. The northern and southern armies are in our hands, and no one in the world is our opponent. "
When the two came to the back hall, Liu Yingzheng, Princess Liu Le of Lu Yuan, and Queen Zhang Yan took care of the baby together.
Liu Ying said excitedly to Lu Pheasant and Luo Xin: "Mother, Prime Minister, this child will be the prince of the Han Dynasty. What name should you give him to express my love and expectations for him?"
Luo Xin smiled and said: "Your Majesty and the Queen, do you have any ideas?"
Liu Ying said: "There are too many words with good meanings. I really don't know which one to choose. Besides, the queen is the elder, so she should choose it."
Lu Pheasant turned to look at Luo Xin and said with a smile: "Does Dong Ahou have any ideas in his mind?"
Luo Xin muttered: "Like the perseverance of the moon, the rise of the sun, with perseverance in name, I wish the great man a prosperous destiny and a glorious reputation for thousands of years."
"Heng?"
"Like the eternity of the moon, the rise of the sun, the man's destiny is to live long and prosperous."
"Liu Heng!"
Liu Ying read it twice, with a happy smile on her face. The more she read it, the more she liked it. She couldn't help but praise it: "Okay, what a good name, Queen Mother, what do you think?"
Lu Pheasant no longer demanded too much from Liu Ying. He nodded with a smile and said, "As long as the emperor and empress like her."
Liu Ying raised the baby in her arms high and laughed loudly: "From today on, your name will be Liu Heng. I will hand over the country of Han Dynasty to your hands. You must guard the inheritance of your ancestors."
The baby didn't show any fear, but giggled.
In the void of heaven, Ji Zhao looked at this scene. When Luo Xin said the word "Heng", some changes occurred in the world, and the child gained some traits.
[Dear Master, the unknown rules of the world have been opened for your family. The change and the sameness of the world are the eternal themes. The debate between heroes and the current situation will never end. Please explore it to your heart's content. 】
Ji Zhao probably guessed that this baby was the product of the return of the world, but he was still very surprised. In the past, he usually just disappeared completely.
For example, after Tian's death on behalf of Qi, many Tian's celebrities disappeared. This is the first time this has happened.
For Ji Zhao, the world suddenly became interesting, and he only knew the general context but not the real history.
If a woman were here, she would definitely say, "I can't help but wonder: How many secrets and unknowns are there in this world, and what kind of great being can create such a world?"
Of course, everyone in the palace was mortal and didn't know about this episode. Only Luo Ling, who lived in Zhaocheng, could feel some changes.
He felt something strange in his family background, but he didn't know why.
After waiting for a while, the ancestor did not call him, so he put his doubts in his heart and continued to read.
…
The impact of this banquet only began to show when the kings returned to the country. Facing the powerful court, the princes and kings all chose to pay tribute.
But at the same time, some princes and kings discovered their own weaknesses and began to try to contact some people, especially those founding heroes who lost power in the rounds of court battles.
After all, not everyone is qualified to hold Lu Fei’s lap after Liu Bang’s death. Even if Liu Ying married Zhang Yan and released great goodwill to the Heroes Group, there are also factions within the Heroes Group, and Liu Ying The factions that the Hou Mansion did not deal with were naturally dissatisfied.
In Weiyang Palace.
Lu Pheasant looked at the taxes paid by the princes and kings in surprise for a long time, and then said leisurely: "These princes and kings are really rich."
It really surprised Lu Pheasant that the taxes paid by these princes and kings individually were certainly not as good as those of the imperial court, but combined they far exceeded the entire Guanzhong, Jiaba and Shu.
Luo Xin looked at the data and said coldly: "Eshan, the strength of the princes and kings is really too strong. Judging from the taxes, the imperial court only occupies about 40% of the world's strength, which is very unstable.
In the past, when Zhou Dynasty used the enfeoffment system, the emperor Zhou's strength could still account for 50% of the world, so all the princes in the world obeyed the orders of the emperor Zhou.
Now that the Han Dynasty and its kingdoms are running in parallel, the strength of the central government is not as good as that of the local governments. This is Tai'a's inversion, and this is the way to cause disaster. "
Although Luoxin, or the entire Luo family, believed in great unification, they advocated retaining a certain degree of autonomy for local areas.
In particular, military power must be able to organize resistance at the grassroots level at any time. This is mainly due to the fear that once the central power is defeated, the people will be bulldozed if they fail to organize resistance.
The second is the deep-seated reason. Luo hopes to be ready for another Tang-Wu revolution at any time to kill Dufu.
For these reasons, Luo believes that the best balance of power between the central and local governments is 64, or 73.
But no matter which one it is, it is all led by the central court.
In the current Han Dynasty, the power of the court is actually not as good as the local government. This means that the Han court is like sitting in the crater of a volcano and will be destroyed at any time. The local princes and kings can change the emperor as long as they work hard.
When Lu Pheasant heard this, his eyes turned murderous and he said in a cold voice: "Sir, are these princes and kings?"
Luo Xin said coldly: "Eshan, don't be anxious yet.
Remember, never punish someone without guilt. Once something is done, it will be difficult to restore the world's confidence in the court.
You are the Queen Mother. If you attack your clan members without any reason, it will be bad for your reputation.
Moreover, the clan and the heroes, and even the Lu family you are from, are in check and balance with each other. To weaken the power of the clan indiscriminately is a way to die. "
Lu Fei was stunned when she heard this. She was about to say how could Mrs. Lu have thoughts about the throne, but she shut her mouth before she could say anything. She knew that Luo Xin was right.
After a long while, he just said in a leisurely way, "Master, you really think about the emperor. No wonder the emperor treats you more closely than he treats me.
I am getting older. I have been overworked over the years and I am afraid I don’t have many more years to live. When the time comes, I will entrust the emperor to you. I feel relieved.
You have not been married and have no heirs in these years. This is not what I want. Please let me marry you. "
Luo Xinyan said with a smile: "Eshan, I am not the only direct descendant of the Luo family who has no marriage. You don't have to worry about me. It's not bad to be alone."
Lu Zhi was silent for a long time and said firmly: "Master, shouldn't a wise man like you keep your heirs in the world?
You are the blood descendant of King Su and the legitimate son with the stigmata. I remember that your stigmata can still be passed down to one generation. Could it be that the stigmata won’t be passed down?
It's all my fault these years. Because of the unwillingness in my heart, I almost hurt you. Please promise me to marry you. "
Luo Xin finally frowned and looked at Lu Pheasant, then said nothing.
…
"In recent years, more and more granaries have been dug near Chang'an. When will we be able to finish all this food?"
Several people dressed as day laborers were chatting, and one of them smiled and said: "These are grains for famine relief. If Chang'an City or Guanzhong encounters a natural disaster, these grains will be used to keep us alive. I heard that these are all from Her Majesty the Queen Mother, His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister did it."
Another person said: "With the Holy Queen Mother and the Holy Emperor on the throne, as well as the blood descendants of the Supreme Su King, and the assistance of Mr. Luo, Guanzhong has not suffered many natural disasters in many years.
Our land has a bumper harvest every year. The court collects grain without lowering the price and collects less taxes. I heard from the old people that this is much better than the days in the Qin Dynasty before.
Another person said: "It is said that some old Luo people who came from Shandong said that life in Luo country was like this back then. I really don't know what the legendary Zhaocheng looked like.
It is said that life in Zhaocheng was better than it is now. No official dared to bully. The king of Luo State would uphold justice in everything, send meat during festivals, and could still study.
I really don’t know what kind of life that is. I’m afraid the nobles in Chang’an City live that kind of life. "
"Of course, the King of Luo Kingdom is a descendant of the great King Su. It is said that he wakes up every tens or hundreds of years to see us people in the world.
My grandfather was from Luo back then, and he was still a warrior in the Luo country back then.
It is said that both the king and the prince personally gave him food and wine, and also allowed his uncle to study in the palace.
It's a pity that the uncle passed away, otherwise a certain family might still be able to get an official. "
Another burst of laughter came, and they talked about where they would go to drink tea and wine after finishing their work, and buy some cloth to make clothes. The atmosphere was full of life.
There are no natural disasters, the land can be harvested abundantly, and the taxes can be paid and enough food can be left for the whole family. This is the prosperous age. Starting from Chang'an City, it will be extended to Guanzhong step by step, and then to various kingdoms and princes, so that everyone in the world can enjoy it. Bathed in kindness, this is what Luo Xin pursues.
Five years ago, Luo Xin decided to solve the problem of princes and kings, but for the sake of social and economic development, he has endured until now. In order to resume production, he knew that he could not confront the princes and kings now, or even go to the point of fighting with each other. .
However, he had been preparing, stocking up on grain and grass, training elite troops, and did not allow Chehou to return to his fiefdom. Instead, he stayed in the army in Chang'an to strengthen the strength of the northern and southern armies.
