Even though his hair is gradually growing, Luo Xin is always so elegant, and he salutes meticulously: "Your Majesty, be safe."
Liu Heng ran over from the seat, pulled Luo Xin's clothes expectantly, raised his head and said, "Uncle, the story you told me last time is not finished yet."
Luo Xinyan smiled slightly, knelt down and said softly: "Your Majesty, I will continue to speak for you."
Storytelling is of course not just about telling stories, but entertaining and educating. Liu Heng is taught many truths subtly from historical stories.
There are a large number of fables in the classics of various schools of thought, and they use these fables to explain the ideas of their own schools.
History is the best story, and Luo has the most history books, and there are too many fascinating things that happened in them. Luo Xin selected the ones suitable for Liu Heng to listen to, compiled them into a collection, and used them as teaching materials.
Luo Xin spent far more energy on educating Liu Heng than on handling state affairs. Now more than half of the government affairs are handled by his third brother Luo Yi, but Luo Yi's health has become worse and worse over the years.
Luo Xin had high expectations for Liu Heng, because the Han Dynasty had devoted so much effort to him.
From the time Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and the Han Dynasty became the Han Dynasty, who was the person who devoted the most to this dynasty?
Liu Bang? Lu Pheasant?
neither.
It's Luoxin.
The Han Dynasty had a history of more than thirty years, and Luo Xin served as prime minister for more than two-thirds of the time. He was deeply involved in almost all the system construction, civil affairs, and martial arts of the Han Dynasty.
Now that he has obtained the power of regent, he has to do two things for the big man.
The first thing is to continue to implement the various principles and policies previously formulated and continuously restore the national strength of the Han Dynasty.
The second is to cultivate an outstanding and qualified successor for the Han Dynasty, who can inherit his and Lu Pheasant's political legacy and carry it forward.
The first thing is simple. He has been the powerful prime minister for more than 20 years, and he is famous for being strong and cold, which gives him great authority in front of the court and many princes.
Now he has the name of regent, and has the support of the powerful Luo family. He has no shortage of names and tools, and his fundamentals are quite stable. No one can compete with him and can only bow his head and obey orders.
As for the second thing, it is to learn from the lessons of history. During the Zhou Dynasty, many vassal states carried out reforms, but most of them resulted in the death of people and the collapse of political power.
The reason is that under the monarchy system, if the next monarch cannot persevere when the results of the reform are not yet stable, or even wavers in the slightest, he will be deposed by the all-pervasive aristocratic bureaucrats.
Luo Xin's goal in cultivating Liu Heng is both simple and difficult.
You must not only stick to your own judgment, but also be good at accepting the opinions of your officials.
We must treat our subjects with kindness and justice, but we must also act without hesitation.
We must not only have great love that benefits all living beings, but also have a decisive heart of choice.
The story Luo Xin told Liu Heng was from the early Western Zhou Dynasty, because it was very interesting. At that time, the Luo family was not strong enough in terms of family background, but its political status was extremely high.
Luo Xin talked about the place where King Zhou Li drove away Luo Wengong in anger.
Liu Heng listened very seriously, and said angrily on his face: "Gong Luo Wen is so powerful, and he is still a loyal minister, but King Zhou Li actually drove him away. Something will happen. Uncle, hurry up and tell King Zhou Li." Isn’t it miserable?”
Luo Xin smiled slightly. There is always a righteous side and an evil side in the story.
And Luo Shi is always the righteous party.
"King Zhou Li led the Sixth Army of the Emperor to conquer the Kingdom of Chu. The sky was dark and the earth was dark..."
Luo Xin vividly recounted the things that no one knew at the time, vividly displaying King Zhou Li's stupidity. He would also stop and ask Liu Heng from time to time, "Your Majesty, what do you think we should do at this time?"
This seemed to be a question on the surface, but after Luo Xin had already told so much, and under Luo Xin's persuasion, Liu Heng actually had no choice. He would only answer the fixed answer.
But Liu
Heng didn't know, he thought it was his own choice.
The purpose of this is very simple. Luo Shi discovered a long time ago that telling children what not to do and prohibitive language are ineffective.
Because he will ignore the word "not" in the front and go out of his way to do the next thing.
The real education method is to tell him what to do and make him willing to do it, so that it can penetrate deep into his heart.
…
Weiyang Palace.
Zhang Yan opened the letter, which contained mostly routine greetings, and then told Zhang Yan about the problems her family had encountered, hoping that she could issue a decree from the palace.
Although Zhang Yan did not have a regent, she was the queen mother.
In the Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother was greater than the Emperor. The Luoxin Regent only took over the military and political power legally, but the noble status belonging to the Queen Mother would not disappear.
As long as Zhang Yan is willing to issue an edict, the legal effect of her edict is second only to Luo Xin.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan frowned slightly. The power of the Liuhou Mansion was already so great, but it still needed an order from the palace?
What happened?
This can't help but frighten Zhang Yan. Today's Chang'an City is very different from before.
The Marquis of Huaiyin and the Marquis of Anyang returned to their fiefdoms and were not in Chang'an City at all. The Huaiyin Marquis Mansion and the Anyang Marquis Mansion remained vacant all year round.
After the death of Emperor Gao, Marquis Ying held the position of Deputy Prime Minister and Prime Minister of South Korea. Apart from a few old friends, he basically saw no outsiders.
The voice of the Yinghou almost disappeared from Chang'an City, and even his descendants were placed in Zhaocheng, the ancestral home of the Luo family, and did not interact with the second generation of heroes.
Only Dong'ahou's mansion is left, but Dong'ahou's temperament doesn't like noisy and is too majestic, so even officials from the Luo family rarely come to the house.
The current Liuhou Mansion is bustling with people every day, and the second generation of the founding of the People's Republic of China gather at the mansion one after another. They don't know that this is a big taboo, because Changle Palace will think that their fathers are behind this.
Then she looked down, and was shocked and angry for a moment. The Liuhou Mansion actually seized the land and was sued.
Fortunately, Luo Xin, who was still afraid of the regent, did not kill anyone, but this incident was really embarrassing.
The official who tried the case was a student of Meng Confucianism, and was recommended by Luo Yi. He did not give the Liuhou Mansion any face, so he forced the Liuhou Mansion to send a letter to the palace.
"How confused!"
Zhang Yan said bitterly: "How dare you do this during the Prime Minister's regency? His Majesty's maternal wife actually did such a thing."
But after all, it was his own family, so Zhang Yan had no choice. Just as he was about to issue an order, the serious face of Prime Minister Luo Xin immediately appeared in his mind.
In fact, the former prime minister Luo Xin was a very kind person in Zhang Yan's eyes.
Emperor Xiaohui was still alive at that time and often held family banquets in the palace. Prime Minister Luo Xin treated her very kindly.
Especially after she gave birth to her eldest son Liu Heng, the Prime Minister often praised her for her good moral character, gentle personality, and talent. She was a queen given to the Han Dynasty by God.
But after the death of Emperor Xiaohui, Prime Minister Luo Xin changed.
He was still polite and could never find a fault in etiquette.
But Zhang Yan is a very smart and sensitive woman. She can feel that Prime Minister Luo Xin loves Liu Heng very much, but she has a trace of doubt about herself.
Sometimes she thinks this is an illusion, but she is really a very smart woman.
It soon became clear that Prime Minister Luo Xin and Emperor Xiaohui were called monarchs and ministers, but they had the same affection as father and son, so the Prime Minister treated her as his daughter-in-law. When he saw the two of them singing in harmony, he was naturally amiable and happy.
However, Emperor Xiaohui passed away, but he was still in the most mature stage of a woman, and the atmosphere in society was so open, so the prime minister would naturally pay more attention to it. This was a change of mentality.
After understanding this, Zhang Yan kept a very low profile and put the emperor first in everything, in order to dispel the prime minister's wariness.
But now Liuhou Mansion has caused such a big thing for her.
This will definitely be disgusted by the Prime Minister, who blatantly tramples on the law, oppresses the common people, and damages the emperor's reputation. Each one of them is no small matter.
Now that this matter has been resolved, for the sake of the relationship between the emperor and her, the Prime Minister may not say anything more, but he will definitely keep it in his heart.
It would be bad to let the Prime Minister keep this matter away. Zhang Yanke, who often comes into contact with Liu Heng and Luo Xin, knows how terrible this person is.
It can only be described as mountains and abyss, and the deep eyes seem to never see the end.
"no!"
Zhang Yan suddenly woke up, "You can't send the letter directly. This is a way to die."
She was truly worthy of being the queen personally chosen by Lu Pheasant and Luo Xin for Liu Ying. Even though she was not very talented in politics, she was still very sensible and made the most correct choice at this time.
Zhang Yan was pacing in the Weiyang Palace. She was so anxious that she didn't even care about her appearance. "First, we need to find out how big the matter is, whether what was said in the letter is true, and whether there were any casualties." .”
Zhang Yan immediately sent palace officials out of the palace to understand the situation. She wanted to see what was going on before she could decide whether to talk to the Prime Minister directly about the matter.
The palace attendants hurriedly left Weiyang Palace, taking Zhang Yan's letter with them. In Changle Palace, Luo Xin, who was telling stories to Liu Heng in class, found an additional memorial on his desk.
It was sent by Luo Yi, about the matter of Liuhou Mansion.
————
There are extensive records in "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" about Dong'ahou Luoxin's lectures for Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng.
From this we can see that Dong'ahou was very concerned about the education of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. He even said: "Half of the Luo clan's thousands of years have been taught by virtuous emperors. If they teach the emperor, the world will be at peace."
There have always been rumors in the world of Zhuxia that the Luo family has a special method of cultivating successors, which can ensure that the Mingjun Holy Master will appear from generation to generation. From Dong Ahou's words, it seems to be confirmed.
Dong'a Hou Luoxin even wrote the textbook himself for the education of Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng. Those boring histories were reflected in rich and interesting stories, and even became a model for later emperors to learn from.
The great achievements of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty cannot be divorced from this outstanding prime minister. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
