Looking at the records in the investigation report.
Luo Sheng said: "Emperor Xiaoding's attitude towards the family is not bad. My uncle, Champion Jinghuanhou, is his cousin, and my aunt is his cousin-in-law. Emperor Xiaoding invested a lot in the establishment of the Wushuang Kingdom. Resource, he is an emperor with a peaceful personality, and there is no antagonism between him and his family, but my aunt has not been to Chang'an since the death of my uncle. Maybe during this period, Emperor Xiaoding was affected."
Luo Wuji coughed lightly and said: "Emperor Xiaoding has a soft ear and is more likely to listen to slanderous rumors. This is very possible. His attitude towards the family depends on the courtiers and relatives around him.
What about today? "
A Luo woman said crisply: "Strange, today's emperor's attitude towards the family is unfamiliar. He came to Changle from a prince king, and the family has not had contact with him. However, he is strong-willed and is basically not affected by his ministers."
Emperor Liu Dan was a martial arts emperor who fought hard on the battlefield. Such a person usually did not change his orders from day to day and had his own judgment.
Um……
At least that was the case when he was young and wise and mighty.
I don’t know if he will become comatose when he gets old. After all, even the emperor at the level of Li Longji in the first half of his life didn’t even know his mother who died immediately when he became comatose.
"So currently the family is not a threat in the eyes of the emperor."
This is not based on feelings. The family is not very surprised by this result. Everything has a pattern. Unless you encounter someone called the God of War, decline will always come slowly. The relationship between the family and the royal family Likewise, the political mutual trust forged over the years cannot suddenly disappear.
"But it is indeed getting worse. Emperor Liu's overall quality is declining, and the mutual trust between the two parties is declining. Unexpected things may happen, but the family has nothing to fear."
The fate of most loyal ministers depends on the emperor. Many people praise Li Shimin for not killing meritorious officials because there are not many emperors who do not kill meritorious officials. Similarly, there are not many emperors who are willing to give their ministers a good death.
Because traitorous ministers are unwilling to take the blame for the emperor, the emperor can only choose loyal ministers to take the blame. We usually call this quality of the emperor mean and unkind.
Many people list being mean and ungrateful as the qualities of a good emperor, and often use Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty as an example. This is actually the opposite of the cause.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had excellent political ability. His harshness and unkindness were not his strengths. How could such a trait that only caused alienation be an excellent quality?
Emperor Chongzhen was also mean and ungrateful, and he was crazy about blaming others. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were indeed cheated, but there were also many loyal ministers, and there were many people who worked for him. As a result, he turned around and was cheated to death when something happened.
What is the final outcome of Chongzhen?
He couldn't even find anyone to take the blame. Before he died, he could only be incompetent and furious, leaving the words "all civil servants can be killed."
I guess the ministers are very aggrieved. You have taken care of all the people who worked for you. Now that no one is taking the blame for you, you are still aggrieved.
"The family has nothing to fear!"
Everyone said in unison, their words full of determination. What Luo is not afraid of the most is conspiracy, and what worries him most is fairness. The emperor is the emperor after all. Unless Luo is willing to break political rules, he will naturally be at a disadvantage when facing the emperor. situation.
"The Liu clan's attitude towards the family is not very good."
Luo Shizi sneered: "The Liu clan has always had a bad attitude towards the family. They are always trying to prove that they are the most noble."
The royal family seems to have an obsession with being the first family. Li Shimin ranked Li first in the clan annals. In the Song Dynasty, Zhao was also ranked first in the compilation of hundreds of family surnames. The same is true now for the Liu family, but people's habits are not so Easy to change.
Among the states, Ji Jiang is the most expensive, and among Ji Jiang, Luo Lu is the most expensive. This is a habit that has been passed down for thousands of years. The main branch of the Lu family was destroyed, and its reputation suffered a major blow, but the Luo family was different. It was by no means a simple century. What the royal family can shake.
Power can change people's words, but it cannot change people's thoughts. Even though on the surface people put Liu before Luo, in fact even the emperor knew the real ranking in his heart.
This is the root of the dissatisfaction of the Liu family with the Luo family. It sounds funny, but the values of people at that time were so different.
"The attitude of the Liu clan is both important and unimportant. Their power is very strong, but too weak. Even if they are dissatisfied, it will disappear in less than fifty years."
The power of the princes and kings of the Liu family is not weak. Although they cannot threaten the central government, they are a huge behemoth locally. After all, the territory of the princes and kings has at least several counties. Although it is far from compared with when the Han Dynasty was first established, the princes of Bilie are Still strong.
However, the shelf life of the power of the Liu family princes and kings was too short. The continuation of their wealth depended on whether the new emperor gave birth to a son quickly, and whether the emperor trusted him or not and allowed them to perform meritorious services to maintain the kingdom.
"The power of the Liu family's princes and kings is basically only in the local area, not much above the court. Instead of paying attention to the Liu family, it is better to pay attention to the princes and relatives. These two types of talents are the roles that determine the top officials of the court."
It is an indisputable fact that the influence of princes and relatives on the court is far greater than that of princes and kings.
"The family's influence among the princes is not weak, and there are many allies, but many of them are drifting away. The main reason is that these princes have always wanted to start a war, but the family does not agree. However, the Huaiyin Han family and the Anyang Han family , the Jimo Lu family, the Linzi Lu family, and the Lanling Xiao family, the five major princes are still relatively close to the family, and they are enough to suppress the princes."
Needless to say about the Han family and the Lu family, the Lanling Xiao family is a descendant of Xiao He, Marquis of Feng, and was transferred to Lanling during the Liu Che period. The Xiao family is very different from the Liu family and belongs to a very close family of Lieutenant Colonels.
The location of Lanling is very important, so the Xiao family was sealed here to guard it for the Liu family.
“The family of Emperor Liu Dan’s relatives have similar brains to the mother of the former King of Han.
Before, I felt that I was rich and wanted to marry the family, but naturally I didn't even reply. If I said harsh words at that time, I might slander the emperor, but it's not a big problem. "
The King of Han is Liu Ruyi, and his mother is Mrs. Qi. A woman who may have a problem with her brain is a negative example among the Luo family, and she will use it as an example when educating her children.
Liu Dan's mother's family was like this. Because of her beauty, Liu Che took her into the palace and gave birth to Liu Dan. As a result, Liu Dan suddenly became the emperor, and the family suddenly became prominent. He actually felt that he could use his power to marry a Luo girl.
Although it feels unbelievable, there are always many things happening in this world that can make Luo Shi stunned. When Luo Sheng dealt with this matter at the time, he naturally refused it directly.
After hearing what Luo Sheng said, many people showed shocked expressions and asked with some confusion: "Master, what you just said was that someone proposed to the family?
Should you marry into the family, or marry a woman from the family? "
If she were to marry into the family, maybe Luo would really investigate and find out if the other person's family background was innocent, the woman was good-looking, well-educated, and she would actually go on a blind date.
What if you marry a Luo girl?
That's a saying, the world is as far away as it is. Marrying a Luo girl depends on fate and being able to meet each other's eyes. Proposal for marriage is not enough.
"Marry a girl from the family."
Luo Sheng gave an affirmative answer, and Luo Wuji was silent when he heard the words. He didn't know this outrageous thing, so he smiled helplessly: "What do you think?
There is a daughter in my family, and the whole world is looking for her, but if she can’t get her, it’s an unreasonable disaster. "
Everyone laughed at Luo Wuji's words, and the dull atmosphere in the room was cleared away. If this was during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they would definitely have to go to the "Funny Collection".
When taking inventory here, it actually doesn't matter. The Luo family has always followed the high-level route, and the hostility of the high-level people towards the Luo family has always been relatively low. Just like during the Bang and Zhou Dynasty, the various Xia kingdoms had a good attitude towards the Luo family.
"Common people should take a look first."
Luo Wuji said, skipping the middle class directly. Everyone understood why, because the situation at the top and bottom was predictable, but the thoughts of the middle class were too complicated.
"Thanks to the ancestor of King Su, the Luo family, as a descendant of King Su, has a very good reputation among the people, especially when the people are in crisis. However, this reputation is very false because the family does not directly control the survival of these people. As you all know, man will obey the orders of the man who controls the resources of his existence.
However, this is something that the family is powerless to do. To be able to control the current scale of the Luo family, the family has tried its best. Unless we go further, we can legitimately control more people and resources. "
What Luo Sheng said was called the means of production in later generations!
If you control the means of production, you have power.
On a smaller scale, the means of production are food, weapons, and resources. On a larger scale, reputation, knowledge, etc. are all considered means of production.
Apart from the power of the Divine Artifact of Destiny, the reason why Luo Shi is so powerful is because Luo Shi controls so many production materials, second only to the emperor.
Moreover, the means of production controlled by Luo's are indestructible, like a fortress made of stone, which is difficult to lose.
"enough.
The human heart is like water, it is changing all the time. For the same thing, some people are grateful and some are resentful. This is the human heart.
Even if it is money, it cannot be loved by everyone. Even if there are people like Zhuangzi who hate it, how much less a family that lives on earth after all?
As long as there is a trace of faith in the ancestors in the hearts of the people in the world, the family can gather them together and set off a wave that can destroy everything. "
The Luo family is the Luo family, and Su Wang is the Su Wang. People in the world can still tell the difference clearly. The sanctity of the Su Wang is related to the Luo family's reputation, but not much. The Luo family's reputation is mainly accumulated from generation to generation. .
Moreover, for people who were born in the land of the Central Plains, when the world was created and gradually improved, there were rules that caused people to be born with a BUFF of -50% belief purity. There were very few people who were so fanatical about it. This was different from the Western Regions. Quite the opposite.
Everyone focused their attention on the last pile of paper, the middle class that was the most troublesome, had the most changeable ideas, and had the most complicated interests.
