Protectorate of the Western Region.
With an expressionless face, Luo Shi leaned on the railing with his hands behind his hands and looked out. At the end of his eyes were towering snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands and farmland.
Countless fine war horses were galloping on the grassland, and the sound of clanking and clanging could be heard on the land of the Protectorate. It was the sound of repairing weapons, armor, and horses from the blacksmith shop.
He is the king of the northwest of the Han Dynasty, the real master, but the one who is giving him a problem now is the master of the world, the master who can defeat both the Thousand-Year-Old Luo Family without using divine weapons!
A pair of jade arms hugged him from behind. It was Liu Jiao, Luo Shi's wife and Liu Dan's compatriot sister. She said warmly: "My dear, are you still worried about the emperor's letter?"
Luo Shi didn't say anything and just hummed softly.
Worry flashed across Liu Jiao's face, she turned Luo Shi's body and said seriously: "My beloved, you know that Jing Nan has...
But one cannot choose the other, you only have one choice.
The emperor is really hateful, deliberately making things difficult for you. "
Luo Shi's face was still expressionless, but his heart was like a bright mirror.
Among the Luo family members, he is one of the very few who has mixed reputations and reputations.
He raised the army to quell the crisis for the sake of the world. This was regarded as a kind of righteousness and extermination of relatives, but the social custom was not actually advocated. What was emphasized was that relatives should hide from each other.
No matter whether it is ancient or modern, as long as you do it, many people will praise you, but after praising you, they will silently stay away from you.
This is the human heart. The vote cast with feet is more real than with mouth. Luo Shi doesn't even know how those who live because of him will think of him.
"Praise the whole world without admonishing, and criticize the whole world without discouraging."
Liu Jiao brushed Luo Shi's cheek with her hand and said with some distress: "Don't change your mentality because of the praise and criticism of the world. That is what a saint can do. You are not a saint, how could I not know?
So don’t let yourself get stuck in the whirlpool again. "
Liu Xun's attitude towards Luo Shi came from this. He believed that Luo Shi was a minister who could be used, but could not be trusted closely.
Because no one in this world is always bright, especially Liu Xun who practices the king's domineering rule. It is impossible to say which thing touches the bottom line, and the sword will be turned inward.
Luo Shi knows these things very well, so King Dawandong must live!
Liu Jiao said seriously: "The emperor is testing. You must express your attitude tactfully and clearly. King Dawan East must stay in the Western Regions safely, otherwise your reputation will be in jeopardy."
Reputation is at stake.
Luo Shi picked up a piece of his hair and said, "How long can I protect him?"
Liu Jiao said in a deep voice: "It won't take long, time will smooth everything out. There are not that many people who harbor ill will towards King Dayuan Dong."
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then the voice of the maid, "Sir, the King and Queen Mother of Dawandong would like to see you."
Luo Shi and Liu Jiao looked at each other, their hearts sank, and they guessed her purpose of coming. Dawandong Kingdom was one of the countries, and there was an envoy in Chang'an, so it was very likely that they got the news.
In the front hall, the Queen Mother of Dawan was sitting upright. Dawan women were extremely beautiful when they were young, but once they lost control of their diet, they would age and gain weight quickly. Compared to Luo Shi, she looked so gorgeous when she first set foot in the city of Dawan. , the Queen Mother has gained a little weight and looks more majestic.
"Your Majesty."
"The Queen Mother."
As soon as Luo Shi sat down, the Queen Mother of Dayuan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Junhou, is the news from Chang'an true?
During the initial peace period, you said that this was the only way to preserve the Dayandong Kingdom. "
The Queen Mother of Dayuan and the violent emperor Liu Dan had a purely physical relationship with no emotions, so when faced with her son's throne and Liu Dan's throne, she decisively chose her son's throne.
As a mother, Liu Jiao knew how to comfort her and said directly in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, what are you worried about?
This is the Western Region, not Chang'an. The emperor is thousands of miles away, and the Protectorate is right in front of you.
Who is the Lord of the Western Region?
My husband is the king of the Western Regions. He said he would protect you, so just sit back and relax.
Moreover, Chi'er is the only nephew I can still take care of. If he calls me aunt, will I ignore him? "
A series of words made the Queen Mother feel a little relieved. Her anxious mood calmed down a little. She regained her sense and looked at Luo Shidao: "Junhou, you know that Chi'er is the link between Dahan and Dawan. If something happens to Chi'er, Dawan will definitely not be at peace. It is impossible for the Protectorate to travel thousands of miles to fight an unnecessary war every time.
You are invincible in the field and the temple army is invincible, but no one in Dawan will fight against you. "
She didn't say that the Han Dynasty would be defeated, because Luo Shi was invincible in the Western Region and the Temple Army was invincible in the Western Region, but there was more than just field battles in this world.
A war-god emperor like Li Shimin, with an elite army like that of the Tang Dynasty, was not defeated in front of the fortified city of Goguryeo. If the army of the Protectorate Palace could really completely conquer the Western Regions, how could they choose the current way of governance.
…
In the Changle Palace, there was a memorial in front of Liu Xun, which was sent by Luo Shi, the Protector of the Western Regions. There were also several ministers in the palace. Huo Guang stood beside him quietly, observing the changes in Liu Xun's expression.
“May your Majesty be safe and happy.
Chen Shi took over the position of his father since the time of Emperor Xiaoding and was responsible for guarding the Western Regions.
The Western Regions are very different from the Central Plains. They are quite similar to the Zhou Dynasty. The natives obey their kings, the nobles recognize their kings, and official positions are hereditary through blood. The blood of the king is very important.
Your wisdom can be compared to Mount Tai and the East China Sea. The wisdom of King Dayuan Dong is like the gravel at the foot of Mount Tai and the water droplets in the East China Sea. He can keep his throne because of the merits of the Liu family, the power of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, and a Just a little bit of Dawan’s tradition and people’s hearts.
King Dayuandong's entourage Jingnan shows that he is respectful and righteous towards the court, which is worthy of praise.
As I have reported, it has only been a few years since Emperor Ru was overthrown, but the Huns have reappeared. When I heard the news, I have been preparing for war. The Imperial Protectorate is empty and it is impossible to start a war on both sides at the same time. It is crucial to ensure the stability of the Western Region.
I solemnly request you to award a reward to King Dayuandong. If you do this, King Dayuandong will definitely be grateful for your kindness, and the Western Region will be stable. "
After Liu Xun finished reading, he was silent for a moment. Luo Shi's rejection made him feel a little emotional about the complexity of human beings. He killed his father, sacrificed his daughter, killed his father again, but protected his children.
————
Some courtiers reported that the king of Dayuandong was ruthless and his son should be moved.
It said: "The king of Dayuandong is kind and virtuous, and he has made great contributions to peace. I once swore that the king was among them.
King Kuang is also my younger brother. He has a foot of cloth and can still sew. Why can't the two brothers tolerate this?
The old incident between my late father and Emperor Ru was very painful for me.
Please don't play it, as it will hurt the feelings of our brothers. ”——"Book of Han·Xiaoxuan Benji"
