Huo Guang and Liu Xiang walked in hand in hand with excited faces, walking on the blood flowing freely in the hall, making a clicking sound.
"Cousin."
Huo Guang's expression was full of excitement, and he said enthusiastically: "Everything has been solved, and nothing has been missed. Now we can directly escort Liu Bi, the traitor, back to Chang'an and hand him over to His Majesty.
The queens, princesses, princes, princesses, and ministers of the Wu Kingdom, etc., will be placed under house arrest according to the usual practice, and will only need to wait for His Majesty's decision later. "
The number of people involved in any rebellion by princes and kings is extremely large, usually tens of thousands, and the number may even be tens of thousands. The interests involved are so great that they can even be compared to the hundreds of years of an ordinary powerful family. accumulation.
King Wu Liu Bi had completely fainted, and was then dragged directly by the soldiers and put in shackles. As soon as King Wu Liu Bi left, Huo Guang said excitedly: "Cousin, it turned out to be the King of Wu. Fortunately, there was no danger."
Liu Xiang was even more excited. He uncovered a conspiracy and rebellion group that intended to subvert the Han Dynasty. This was really a great achievement.
Both of them thought that Luo's intelligence network was superior. After all, Luo had been deeply involved in Guandong for so many years, and they never thought of Luo's direct cheating.
Luo Qing hid his name deeply and said with a slight smile: "Zimeng, Zhenggong, those who have traveled a hundred miles are half-ninety. We have only captured the King of Wu, and the others have not been arrested. We still need to continue to work hard."
Liu Xiang immediately said: "Young Master, don't worry, there are many masters among the Tingwei. If the Young Master opens the door, the rest of the matter will be easy to handle."
Luo Qing only had information about King Wu, and the information he got only involved King Wu. If he wanted to completely deduce the specific events that happened at that time, or even push the person out, he would have to pay a huge price. Of course he doesn't want to.
The breeze blew over the faces of passers-by, bringing a slight chill, but it could not extinguish the heat in everyone's hearts. Everyone had a contribution to this trip, and it was basically for free.
The huge motorcade slowly headed from Suzhou to Chang'an.
Huo Guang avoided Liu Xiang, turned around and looked around. When he saw no one around, he asked Luo Qing in a low voice: "Cousin, did you really think about killing King Wu just now?"
His expression was very serious, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes. He was worried about hearing a bad answer. Luo Qing didn't say anything and looked at him with a smile. Huo Guang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Cousin, what did you just say?" Have you ever thought about killing King Wu openly?"
Luo Qing shook his head, and Huo Guang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then a thief like Liu Bi is not worthy of my cousin's loss of Luo's reputation. The court's own laws can control him."
Killing a prince privately may not necessarily lead to anything bad, especially when arresting criminals. There are many excuses, but after all, it is a very taboo thing.
In particular, Luo Qing had a special status. As King Wu Liu Bi said, Duke Zhao was not qualified to take action against the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty. Only the emperor had this power.
If Luo Qing now kills King Wu without any scruples, does this mean that the laws of the Han Dynasty are being trampled on by the Luo family?
The Essence of the Law…
The laws of the Zhou Dynasty were etiquette, introduced by the emperor and the nobles, and were a concentrated expression of the will of the emperor and the nobles, so they protected the interests of these people.
political reform!
Why change the law?
Because the ruler has changed, the law needs to be reformed. If it does not touch the core, it can only be called reform or restoration.
The essence of the laws of the Han Dynasty is the embodiment of the collective will of the Han emperor and the class that maintains his rule. Trampling the Han laws means trampling on these people.
The principles are becoming clearer and clearer, the law is becoming clearer and clearer, and the boundaries of authority and responsibility are also constantly being clarified.
King Wu Liu Bi trampled on the laws of the Han Dynasty, so he should be judged by the laws of the Han Dynasty, that is, the emperor and nobles of the Han Dynasty, not the nobles of Duke Zhao.
The Son of Heaven and the Emperor have different political identities. Duke Zhao obeys the Son of Heaven but not the Emperor. When the Luo family began to promote the separation of these two political identities, these things were destined to happen.
Luo Qing understood that as long as criminal lawyers continued to introduce new theories, the boundaries between the Zhao Kingdom and the central court would become farther and farther.
Not the Han Dynasty but the central court in the future.
The process and evolution of the formation of Zhuxia was very clear to the Luo family. The process of Chu and Luo people becoming Han people was also recorded.
This is the significance of Luo Shi's birth.
This is the significance of the existence of the Yinghou Kingdom and the Wushuang Kingdom. It is impossible for the Luo family to be immune to the interference of the Han court on the one hand and interfere with the Han court on the other.
The beauty of a gentleman will be cut down in five lifetimes.
It’s not just merit that will be cut off, but also the hearts of people.
After the two were silent for a moment, Huo Guang asked curiously: "Cousin, will you serve as an official in the Han Dynasty?"
Luo Qing shook his head and said: "There is a high probability that there will be no place for me in the Han court, but it still depends on the family's arrangements. If the family needs it, I will still serve as an official in the Han Dynasty.
However, the family has now begun to arrange for members of the family to serve as officials in counties and counties, and some of them have even changed their household registration. "
The tribesmen in Zhaocheng are not static. There are thousands of people with thousands of faces. In recent years, there are many people who have left Zhaocheng and gone to the Han Dynasty to seek wealth or to show off their skills.
Not everyone has to stay in Zhaocheng for the rest of their lives.
For this kind of people, Luo's only requirement is not to harm the country and the people, and then take back the Luo family as usual, and then give these people family names, and even contact the counties and counties in the Han Dynasty to create household registration for them, and then they can leave directly. It is very simple. Convenience.
Huo Guang was thoughtful after listening. It seemed that it was not his illusion that the Luo family wanted to join the world. Although he didn't know what happened, something must have happened in the Luo family. Otherwise, the Diaoyutai could be stabilized and there was no need to come out.
The Duke of Zhao is truly hereditary.
In the feudal Han Dynasty, there was no need to perform meritorious deeds to maintain wealth. The more things a principality like this did, the more likely they were to make mistakes.
But Luo himself is not willing to be a blood-sucking moth, and he is not willing to receive salary without merit. He has many things to consider, which are not common sense to outsiders.
…
"The south is hot and humid, and there are many mountains and forests. It's really unbearable. It's better to live in the Central Plains, which has four distinct seasons."
Huo Guang felt like he was about to get lice, and couldn't help complaining.
Luo Qing looked at the mountains and forests on both sides and shook his head helplessly. There were such mountains everywhere in the south, and only Jiangdong could develop them.
"This is the reason why the Southern Barbarians and Baiyue cannot be wiped out completely. The mountains are high and densely forested. If you hide in the mountains and smear your face with the juice of the branches and leaves, only the best marksmen can spot them."
Tribes like the Shanyue living in the mountains have always been a headache for the Han court. In the later stages, as long as these Shanyue didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, they would be ignored.
The war was a real loss, as there was no output. Instead, the court spent a lot of money, and all it got was rotten land and some useless things.
"Hide in the mountains?"
Huo Guang muttered twice, Luo Qing was startled, and Huo Guang also realized that it was too quiet in the mountain!
Why is there not even a sound of birds chirping?
Both of them had some ominous premonitions.
"Who was included in King Wu's confession the day before yesterday?"
For the first time, Huo Guang hated the speed of his march. He entered the mountains just two days ago and put himself in danger before he could get a complete list of the conspiracy from King Wu.
And after all, this is not a war, but an escort of prisoners. Who is attacking the prisoners who appear to have nothing to do when they are escorted by heavy troops?
This is where vigilance dropped.
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
Just as Huo Guang and Luo Qing shouted to everyone to be careful, they heard the sound of piercing the air. The people coming were actually carrying Han army standard arrows and crossbows. These arrows came through the air. Just shoot some soldiers to the ground.
This is really hurtful, even if you are a soldier, you can't wear armor all the time.
Only in the Internet and TV dramas can there be scenes of soldiers rushing on the road wearing dozens of kilograms of armor.
As a result, this flaw was directly caught by the rebels, who actually brought bows and crossbows to sneak attack without noticing, and many soldiers fell into a pool of blood in an instant.
"Enemy attack!"
"Dodge!"
"Armed soldiers wear armor!"
In an instant, the team escorting the prisoners was in chaos. Luo Qing was shocked and angry, and immediately shouted loudly: "Spirit soldiers, step up and buy time for the soldiers!"
People cannot travel in armor, but spiritual soldiers can.
Playing sneak attack, right?
I'm hung up!
Luo Qing never expected to encounter such a thing, and now he just wants to kill happily.
————
The ruler of the central empire is called the emperor. He is the supreme military leader and political leader of the dynasty empire. He is the protector of all nobles and civilians and the controller of life and death. He has almost all power in the entire dynasty empire.
The leader of the Zhuxia civilization was called the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven assumed the sacrificial power of the entire civilization, had undisputed suzerainty over all the vassal states of the entire civilization, and could appoint and abolish the leader of another political entity.
With the advancement of social consciousness, the importance of law began to gradually appear, and the countries of the Xia civilization began to reject the strong interference of foreign nobles.
The final solution is that the Central Empire must become a highly inclusive country that can accommodate nobles and commoners from all countries, so that they can serve the Central Countries and the entire civilization. ——"Global History·Ancient Chinese Civilization"
