After leaving Changle Palace, Huo Guang drank some wine with some people. After being drunk, he unintentionally revealed all the emperor's plans. As a result, the news spread quickly as if it had grown legs.
People's thinking is simply too different.
Liu Xun used his superb power skills and considered almost every aspect to make the Western Region achieve his ideal appearance. As a result, after the news spread through unofficial channels, not many people except Luo Shi paid attention to it.
This surprised Liu Xun.
The Western Region is just a wild and dark place where prisoners are exiled. Many people even call the Western Region an outsider. In their hearts, they don't feel that it is the land of Zhu Xia.
This is the impression that people in the world have on the Western Regions, and it cannot be reversed in a short time. The Han people in the Western Regions themselves think so. Many generals and soldiers who have made contributions in the raid on the Huns' court want to be transferred back to the Central Plains.
The princes were running around in many directions. Everyone knew that it was impossible for the queen's son to go to join the feudal clan, so only the concubine princes like them would go. The problem was that it was the Western Region, and it was said that the sun there would not set until Haishi.
I would rather be a county in the Central Plains than a king in the Western Regions!
These princes are not running around just because they don't want to go. With their father's character, he would definitely be angry if they see them resisting. The goal of these princes is to recommend their brothers to go.
"The imperial brother is talented and talented, and he will definitely be entrusted with great responsibilities. This is incomparable to the younger brother. If there is an imperial brother sitting in charge of a country in the Western Region, it will definitely be stable."
"Who knows that my father has praised my sixth brother for his talents many times and that he is the Qilin son of my clan. The Western Region is vast and covers thousands of miles. It is the perfect place for my sixth brother to display his talents."
Each of these princes turned into a boaster, praising their brothers desperately, and even mobilizing ministers to do the same. On the surface, they seemed to have a feeling of brotherhood and brotherhood.
But how could this be hidden from Liu Xun?
In Changle Palace.
Liu Xun was sitting at the top. There was a child playing next to him. He looked to be only five or six years old. He was the second son born to the queen in the 14th year of Yuanfeng.
Sitting in the palace were Huo Guang, Hou Hanli of Anyang, Luo Qing, the imperial scholar's wine concubine, and Liu Xiang, the imperial censor. They were all watching the emperor play with the children in the palace.
After Gong E served tea for several people, Liu Xun looked at Anyang Hou and said: "Anyang Hou, I am going to appoint you as the Protector of the Western Regions. The first two Protectors of the Western Regions have made great achievements in battle and are famous far and wide. Do you have confidence?"
Marquis Anyang bowed and said: "Your Majesty.
During the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, he once praised Zhaowuweigong as a divine sword given to the Han Dynasty by King Su. I am just a mortal. Do you dare to compare with Zhaowuweigong?
Wu Xianghou's horse trampled on the Xiongnu, and the formation killed the Chanyu. In the past few decades, the Western Region was peaceful, which is also not something I dare to compare.
But I know that the king has given me a heavy responsibility, and it is my duty to complete it.
The king has given trust, and the ministers cannot live up to it.
Even though I don’t have the talents of my ancestors, I have a loyal heart for Your Majesty. I can only repay your grace by devoting my whole life to it.
If there is chaos in the Western Region, just step over the corpse of the minister.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please just sit peacefully in Chang'an.
This is the promise I can make to Your Majesty. "
Marquis Anyang knew why the emperor wanted him to go to the Western Regions. Although he didn't want to go to the Western Regions from the bottom of his heart, the responsibility he shouldered forced him to do it.
After listening to these words, Liu Xun was quite emotional and said: "Anyang Hou is really a loyal minister. Ministers like you are the pillars of my great Han Dynasty. With your words, how could I not sit in the Changle Palace?" Where is peace of mind?”
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and then said angrily: "Look at my good sons again!
One by one, they pushed back and forth, and in order not to go to the Western Regions, they even created a scene of brothers and sisters, which is really ridiculous.
I don't have the country of the Han Dynasty in my heart at all. How can I make such a prince a king? How can I make them a prince?
You are really pretending to be a descendant of my Liu family! "
Liu Xun was angry from the bottom of his heart, and he even gritted his teeth when he spoke. The few people below looked at his nose, ears, and heart, but did not make any reaction. This kind of thing was completely the emperor's family matter and had nothing to do with them.
The prince Liu She was very angry when he saw his father. He put down the toys in his hands and ran over, hugged Liu Xun directly, and said in a sweet voice: "Father, don't be angry. The child is willing to go to the Western Regions. For Father is on guard."
Liu She's appearance was crystal clear and very cute, and people couldn't help but feel good about her. When he said this again, Liu Xun's fatherly love exploded. He never expected that Liu She would say this. So he asked, "She'er, who taught you these words?"
As an excellent emperor, Liu Xun was suspicious of all unreasonable things. Liu She still replied in a coquettish voice: "The queen mother said that the father wanted the prince to go to the Western Regions, and said that the brothers were unwilling to go. So unhappy.
Ah She wanted to make her father happy, so Ah She could go to the Western Regions. "
Liu Xun no longer had any doubts. He hugged Liu She's small body hard in his arms, then let go. He looked at Liu She's face carefully, and then said with emotion: "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it. The filial son turned out to be this five-year-old little baby.
I heard that people in this world are born different. My She'er must be born filial.
The great man rules the world with filial piety. Such a good child is enough to take on any big responsibility.
Couldn't such a good child become a person like Yao and Shun in the future?
This is what my Prince Liu should look like, how similar he is to me. "
He lamented here that Liu She was just a child and only thought that his father was praising him, so he shyly got into Liu Xun's arms.
But several people in the hall trembled once, twice, and couldn't stop shaking at all.
Liu Xun's words were not long, but the information contained was really astonishing.
"The most filial" means that other princes are not so filial. On the surface, it is talking about those princes who are unwilling to go to the Western Regions, but what about the prince?
Become a person like Yao and Shun!
This sentence is so famous. King Wu of Zhou said this when he wanted to pass the throne of Emperor Zhou to King Su - My brother should be Yao and Shun!
Just like the political meaning of carrying the king's back, the meaning of this sentence is extremely thought-provoking.
Who is the current emperor?
Wouldn't he know?
Or maybe he did it on purpose!
Finally, the emperor also said that Liu She looked like him.
This subcategories me!
This is almost the highest evaluation of the emperor. Of these three, one may be an accident or careless, but if three of them appear at the same time, whoever thinks it was not premeditated is stupid!
Which of the four people in the palace is stupid?
The emperor's thoughts were immediately guessed by these people. The emperor had the idea of changing the prince. He may not necessarily implement it, but at least he had this idea.
Several people exchanged glances with each other, not knowing what to say.
Because politics is complicated, no one knows whether the emperor really wants to change the prince, or whether he is using the matter of changing the prince to put some pressure on the now somewhat domineering prince.
After all, what happened last time was embarrassing, and the emperor didn't even say that he wanted to change the prince. How could he suddenly have this idea this time?
Liu Xun certainly knew what the four people below were thinking, but he didn't say anything and instead started talking about another thing.
"Gongzi Qing, Marquis Wuxiang passed away, and his unparalleled title was inherited by Gongzi Lan. However, I have some ideas and I don't know if they are suitable. I want to confirm with you. If you can't make up your mind, go back to Zhaocheng and Duke Zhao. illustrate."
Wushuang Hou?
Luo Qing was confused, but he bowed directly and said: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Liu Xun pondered for a moment and then said: "After experiencing the kingship of the Western Regions this time, I am very worried. The nobles of this Han Dynasty still don't pay enough attention to the Western Regions and regard it as an extraterritorial place.
With such an attitude, how can I believe that these people can ensure that the Western Region will always be in the hands of the Han in the future?
The Wushuang Kingdom occupies almost a quarter of the land in the Yishui River Valley. Although it is a feudal state on the surface, it is actually no worse than a kingdom. This is the only example among the feudal states of the Han Dynasty.
If such a powerful kingdom is in the hands of princes who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, it will naturally be safe and invincible. If something unexpected happens and it colludes with some traitors, the harm caused will be equally great.
Time and distance are the most terrifying things in the world, which can make people become strangers.
Gongzi Lan is a direct descendant of the Luo family, so I am naturally relieved.
But according to the inheritance method, I remember that the stigmata will be lost in the next two generations, right?
Is there any way Luo can always ensure that the future Wushuang Marquis will always focus on the Central Plains and not separate the Western Regions? "
Luo Qing never expected that the emperor would think about this issue. In fact, this issue was something Luo had thought about before. After all, the Western Regions were more important to Luo. Maintaining the influence of Zhaocheng was what Luo Qing had to do. of.
Luo Qing immediately said: "Your Majesty, the family has considered this issue for a long time. After all, the Luo family has a history of thousands of years. It is not uncommon for small sects to counterattack large sects after they are separated.
The family currently has two ways to solve this problem.
The first way is to pass the legitimate son to the contemporary Wushuang Hou from generation to generation, and then inherit the title naturally. The direct family members are all relatives, and the children do not care about this.
The second way is that Wushuang Hou outside the fifth server can marry the legitimate daughter of the family. As you know, almost 90% of Zhaocheng are members of the Luo clan, and we do not have the habit of not intermarrying between clans.
Otherwise, all men and women in the entire city will remain unmarried.
As long as you are not in the fifth server, you can marry your legitimate daughter to a member of the Luo clan, and the stigmata will reappear for another generation. This is newly discovered by the family, as was the case with the previous generation of Yinghou Los. "
