The princes and kings who publicly reprimanded Luoxin in the country were the King of Wu who had sealed the country away from Chang'an. He not only spoke in the country, but even wrote letters to other princes and kings.
“O kings.
Is it because of our ability that we can sit on the throne of princes?
It is because Emperor Gao received the destiny and became the supreme emperor. We are distinguished because of our close blood relationship with Emperor Gao.
In the past, King Wu of Zhou conquered the world, so the surname Ji occupied the eighth level of the world. This is the dignity that a person of destiny can bring to the family.
After King Wu of Zhou died, the supreme and holy King Su was in charge of the state affairs.
From then on, Luohou served as the chief minister of the Zhou Dynasty for generations, in charge of sacrifices and state affairs.
Would anyone think it was unreasonable at that time?
Won't.
Because the Luo family is a clan member of the Ji surname, and is the most prominent clan branch of the Ji family under the Zhou royal family, it is fitting that the Luo family is in charge of sacrifices and state affairs.
But now in the Liu family's world, shouldn't the people in charge of the country's affairs be Liu's clan members?
But what is the reality?
It was Lu's before, now it's Luo's.
This makes everyone very worried.
Is there no talented person among the Liu family who can serve as prime minister?
This is unreasonable.
As far as I know, there are several people who are the Qilin children of my Liu family, but they can only live in Shandong and cannot enter Chang'an, Guanzhong.
What can I say?
Although I have great faith in Luo's morality, having a surname of Regent is like a person holding a delicate and fragile jade in his hands while walking on a bumpy road.
Is the Liu family's country really not in danger of overturning?
Now Luo Xinyan claims to be grateful, but isn't this reducing the power of the clan?
If there is really a change in the imperial court and we are too weak to control it, wouldn't that mean we have failed Emperor Gao's entrustment to our clan? "
This accusation turned out to be reasonable and well-founded, and it seemed like there was an expert behind it.
The split of the Huainan Kingdom is still in progress. This work will probably last nearly a year, and there are too many resources that need to be divided.
King Wu's remarks quickly reached the ears of the princes and the Chang'an court. The princes and kings did not expect that King Wu could come up with such a backhanded remark, so they all felt happy in their hearts, and then secretly spread the word. .
When King Wu's remarks reached Chang'an, they instantly aroused great waves, just like throwing a huge boulder on a calm lake, setting off huge waves.
Everyone has the same idea. Is King Wu getting tired of living? Or do you think Wu is strong enough to compete with the imperial court?
The State of Wu is indeed powerful.
The capital of the Wu Kingdom is in Gusu, and the land is basically the fiefdom of the Xiang family of the Chu Kingdom. After hundreds of years of cultivation by the Xiang family, it is the most fertile land south of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River.
After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, the most powerful force was the old land of Chu.
So he divided the Chu State into three parts. The northern part of Xiang Chu was probably the Huaibei area as the Chu State, and the real old land of the Chu State was changed to the large southeastern country of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Then he established Yue in Kuaiji County to the south of the Wu State. country.
The Yue State was not strong and was the only country among the vassal kingdoms with only one county. Its only value was to contain the Wu State.
Yes, Liu Bang prepared some means to contain the kings at the beginning of the enfeoffment. This is a normal reaction of a qualified emperor.
However, over the years, the power of the imperial court has always been limited to the areas directly under its jurisdiction. The King of Yue has long been following the lead of the King of Wu. This means of restraint may have disappeared.
"If you want to fight against the imperial court, it's just a mantis trying to use your arms as a chariot."
In Changle Palace, Luo Xin and Luo Yi sat opposite each other, and Luo Yi made his own evaluation of King Wu.
Luo Xin did not take the King of Wu seriously at all, and said calmly: "If the Chu Overlord of the past was still alive and came with the children of Jiangdong, I am afraid that I would have to use all my troops, and even the Marquis of Huaiyin Han Xin to attack, to have the confidence to defeat.
But compared with the mighty King Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was the military leader who dominated the world in the past, the overlord who was born as the emperor and died as the god of war, he was nothing more than a rat from the east of the Yangtze River.
No matter how brave the Jiangdong children are, can they still be brave under the hands of the rats? I sent Yi Chehou to lead the army south, and within ten months we could capture and kill the King of Wu on the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. "
Ordinary people would have thought that Luo Xin was expressing dissatisfaction with King Wu's remarks, but Luo Yi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Do you really want to use weapons against the princes and kings?
As soon as a weapon is used, there will be an accident. There were too many such lessons during the Zhou Dynasty.
And if you do this, big brother won’t help you.
You know that the eldest brother is aloof and will definitely stand by and watch this kind of civil war between clans.
It is not the family's usual practice to choose war when the problem can be solved through political means.
Soldier, you know very well the place of life and death.
Since there is a way to divide a country by extorting favors, as long as you follow the steps, the threat from the vassal kingdoms will naturally be eliminated.
It is not reasonable to choose a dangerous method instead of using it when there is a safe method. Brother Wei does not agree with you doing this. "
Luo's consistent principle is to use force to suppress others if you can, and to solve problems through political means if they can be solved by political means.
We will never use weapons rashly unless we have to. Just like in the Zhou Dynasty, the Sixth Army of Emperor Zhou was used as a tool to intimidate the princes, rather than as soldiers to expand the territory. It was because of this strategy Thought.
Luo Yi did not expect that Luo Xin would consider the radical idea of using the army from the very beginning. He is a small hexagonal warrior with a calm personality.
Especially after Liu Bang passed away, he took Liu Ruyi to avoid Lu Pheasant. During those years, he deeply felt how lucky he was to be born in the Luo family.
There are many hidden rules in this world that are invalid for Luo Shi.
But no matter how strong Luo Shi is, he is still a human being.
In particular, the family's wealth continues to be depleted, but due to the family's high status in the Bangzhou period, it is now increasingly difficult to obtain luck points.
Although others are not clear about it, Luo's own strategic contraction is inevitable. Now Luo's artifacts and so on are all in the hands of the family head, and the use of all artifacts must be authorized by the family head.
Luo Xin was naturally very clear about this, and he smiled lightly, picked up the wine bottle in front of him, and said softly: "Brother, there is no easy strategy in this world. Bang Zhou is completely different from the big man today.
In the past, all the Xia kingdoms were surrounded by barbarians. Almost all the kingdoms faced waves of barbarians every day when they opened their eyes. Everyone was racking their brains to survive. Although there was a confrontation between the Emperor of Zhou and the princes, , but cooperation is the main theme.
But things are different now. Although there are still many barbarians living in the vast land, they are no longer the opponents of the vassal states.
Nowadays, these princes and kings of the Liu family do not have the sense of mission that the first generation of nobles had with swords and plows. They easily obtained large areas of fertile land without going through great hardships. Such people have no ideals and beliefs in their hearts.
They did not see that there were still countless native people in the vast old land of Chu State such as Wu State, Yue State, Huainan State, etc. Those native people were hidden deep in the forests, in the mountains, among the rivers, and among all the people of Xia. Where your feet can't reach.
They are always peeping at our land, just like hungry wolves, waiting for us to be weak, they will rush up and bite us hard.
They can only see the prosperity of the country and the wealth of Chang'an, and they want to fight for power and profit. Do such princes and kings still have the value of existing?
Therefore, the conflicts between the vassal states and the imperial court will be very acute.
When the kingdoms perished in the past, the family was happy because the nobles of the kingdoms were too decadent and could no longer bear the burden of leading the Xia.
So can the current Liu family princes and kings bear this important task?
Brother.
You know very well, you can't!
Therefore, this group of princes and kings who were entrusted by Emperor Gao to strengthen their power were eradicated and replaced with a group of princes and kings carefully selected from the clan and Chehou who had ideals and passion in their hearts.
This is something that must be done.
If you want to do it, there are two ways. The first is to use force to suppress others as you are doing now, divide the country first, and then formulate a method of extending favor. This can be done in a hundred and fifty years.
The second is to fight first and completely destroy all the countries, turning them into fish and meat on the chopping block. Then, they can quickly divide the countries and promote favor among the world. This group of princes can be completely abolished within thirty years. king. "
After hearing Luo Xin's words, Luo Yi understood why he and Luo Xin had different ideas. The fundamental reason was that the two had different attitudes towards the current royal family. Luo Yi's attitude towards the royal family was to let them fend for themselves. If you are capable of cutting down the vassal, I will help you. If you are overthrown if you are not capable, I don't care. As long as Liu Ruyi's lineage is preserved and the descendants of Liu Bang who finally sit on the throne are Liu Bang's descendants, I will be worthy of Emperor Gao.
But Luo Xin is not like that. Sitting on the throne is not only the Liu family, but also the lineage of Empress Gao, Lu Fei, and the lineage of Emperor Xiaohui. Luo Xin has almost no choice!
Luo Xin is the second king in the family, not only because he bears the king's back and is the real regent, but also because his mentality is completely different. The second Duke of Wenxuan belongs to Fu Bao State Zhou Sheji, Luo Xin not only wants to ensure In order for the Xia to survive, the emperor's status must be ensured.
Lu Pheasant, Liu Le, Liu Ying, the entanglement between these three people and Luo Xin was too deep. Luo Xin went deep into the world of mortals and created great achievements, but he also lost the detachment of the Luo family.
Luo Yi wanted to understand this and looked at Luo Xin with some admiration. Going deep into the world of mortals is not something that every Luo family member dares to do, because now it has become a consensus that King Su protects his direct descendants in the sky. Of course, the concubine system has gradually After its demise, the Luo family had no bastards left.
But no one knows what will happen after deep into the world of mortals.
"The price you paid is really high!"
Luo Yi was filled with emotion, "If Emperor Gao had made me his assistant, would I have done the same?"
Luo Xin said calmly: "You won't."
Luo Yi looked at Luo Xin and sighed: "Yeah, I can't.
Are you so anxious now because you are worried about His Majesty the Emperor? "
Luo Xin, he really makes me cry to death
