It also rained in Guandong, but it was just right, nourishing the slightly dry land in the counties and counties of Jizhou.
In the case of the disaster in Guanzhong, if another change occurs in the counties of Hebei, chaos will inevitably happen in an instant.
It was probably the last autumn rain, and it fell on the mottled walls of Zhaocheng, with patches of moss clinging to them.
The current head of the Luo family is Luo Yi, Luo Bai's son.
He stood on the highest attic in Zhaocheng and looked at the entire city from a distance. Even if we don't count the thousand years before it was destroyed, this place has been the center of Hebei for nearly two hundred years and is one of the well-deserved cultural and commercial centers.
But even in Zhaocheng, according to family calculations, the benefits brought by doing business are also declining.
Many people can see that the Han Dynasty is getting worse day by day. Even those who are here, whether they are common people or officials, can feel that the world has become different.
"My beloved, are you still thinking about suppressing the rebellion in Guanzhong?"
Luo Yi's wife came up and stood beside him and asked softly. She is Luo Yi's clan sister.
Luo Yi looked at the pattering autumn rain and said with emotion: "My beloved, do you know the difference between today's world and the time of the ruthless emperor?"
After finishing speaking, he said directly without waiting for his wife's answer: "When Emperor Ru was in power, the situation in the world was even more critical than it is now. The country of the Han Dynasty was even about to overthrow. The disaster of Qin's death is not something we just talk about casually.
But at that time, everyone in the world knew why this was the case. It was the cruel edicts of Emperor Liu Dan that brought the world to the end of collapse.
So the troublesome single husband was killed, a Holy Lord was placed on the throne, and the world returned to normal, but that is not the case now.
Liu Yang was just mediocre, but he did not commit any crimes. Although the princes in the court could not be said to be dedicated to the country, there were no mistakes or omissions in the normal operation of the court.
But the world has still come to the current situation step by step. Now there are many refugees in the world. The local officials know about it, and the princes in the court know that the emperor knows about it, but they all pretend not to know.
Because once you know it, you have to take responsibility and solve it, but you can't solve it.
According to the edict issued by the emperor some time ago, he wanted to do something and try his best to alleviate the current situation. But as soon as he started, he found that it was not easy to maintain the current situation, so he began to make peace with it.
Why is this? "
His wife pondered: "Is it because the opposition is too strong? Is it because he is afraid?"
Luo Yi said softly: "Are there any reforms that the emperor wants to implement that cannot be implemented?
Mediocre people always have a misunderstanding.
They believe that reform and reform are the panacea to solve all bad governance.
Reform is always successful and the direction of reform is always right.
But the family has experience and lessons from countless countries, and neither of these two points is correct.
Successful reform is difficult, and the direction of reform is not always correct.
The success of reform requires great perseverance and perseverance among monarchs and ministers, as well as an indomitable spirit and an unswerving attitude in the face of difficulties.
The correct direction of reform requires that the monarch and his ministers have extremely high wisdom and be able to adjust their policies in a timely manner according to the actual situation. "
Upon hearing this, Luo Yi's wife immediately interrupted Luo Yi and said doubtfully: "My dear, what you said seems to be contradictory.
How can persistence and flexibility coexist?
How can perseverance and timely adjustment be attributed to one person?
It is impossible for one person to adhere to the consistency of policies and the timely adjustment of policies. This is a conflict like fire and water! "
Luo Yi smiled slightly and said: "This is the reason why nine times out of ten reforms lead to death. Only those who have both genius-like wisdom and infinite courage, and can fully grasp the balance between the two, can achieve success.
Liu Yang wanted to cheer up, but gave up quickly. This was a sign of lack of confidence. He believed that he did not have that kind of talent, doubted himself, and did not think that he could formulate correct policies.
It happened that he also knew very well that random reforms would do far more harm to the country and society than unchanged laws, so he followed the policies of the previous emperors without making many changes, resulting in the current indecision situation. "
Luo Yi's wife looked at her husband with some surprise and wondered: "How can your beloved know the emperor so well?"
Luo Yi smiled slightly and did not answer, but murmured directly: "Liu Yang wants to do things, but has no talent. Although he is very kind to his cronies, he does not trust their abilities.
Probably only Luo Shi could gain his trust with his reputation as a wise king and famous minister for thousands of years. "
Luo Yi's wife heard this and raised her voice slightly, and asked in surprise: "My beloved, didn't you say that the destiny of the Han Dynasty is unclear and uncertain, and it is best for the family not to interfere?"
The smile on Luo Yi's face faded, as if he was remembering something, and in the end, only a voice drifted away in the wind: "I went to Luhou Country a few days ago, and I saw some refugees on the road.
There is a little boy who is very cute.
There was a little girl with big eyes.
There was a woman who was very thin.
If you want to do something with your hands without using your family's heritage, isn't this the path that your family has already chosen?
A top-down reform, my husband also wants to see what the family can achieve without the blessing of destiny!
Can you, like your ancestor Xuangong, change your fate against the will of heaven and make your ancestor King Su admire you? "
Luo Yi's wife heard the meaning of his words and said in surprise: "Dear man, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been any precedent for Zhaogong to become an official."
Luo Yi waved his hand and said: "In the family, I think that my husband has received the most blessings from the ancestors. Now there is a very possibility of murder from the sky. I can't just sit back and watch the children of the family being put in danger. I am the only one who takes action personally."
Moreover, it is not necessary to be a powerful man. "
Everything is speculation.
But the Luo family is, after all, a magical family. He vaguely felt that the world seemed to be changing, just like the twilight of the country in the past, which in turn inspired Luo Yi's desire to win.
Back then, our ancestor Luo Xuangong changed his fate against the will of heaven, so Luo Yi might not be able to do it!
What will the next dynasty look like?
Will it get better?
Nobody knows!
A moth was born inside the big man, but his brain was still normal. It was better to cure a sick person than to kill him and then re-create a baby from his flesh and blood.
Who knows if the re-cultured baby might not be as healthy as the patient?
Could it be that the brain is not as clear as this patient's?
Besides, if the newborn baby still carries the lesions of the old dynasty in its flesh and blood, is it necessary to kill again?
Luo Yi's idea was unanimously opposed by the family as soon as it was proposed.
Even Luo Yi will not use his family background.
But the direct descendants did not agree with Luo Yi using his life to test the hidden murderous intention.
"This is the man's destiny. If he suffers and dies because of your unauthorized intervention, what should we do?
Moreover, there is no example of Zhaogong becoming an official in the Han Dynasty.
The family has so many children, head of the family, I can go to the court on your behalf. "
But Luo Yi easily convinced everyone, and he said calmly: "My life is no more precious than that of your brothers and nephews. King Zhaosheng is a god on earth, and Duke Wuwei is a minister of Emperor Xiaowu.
Besides, I want the position of prime minister, which is superior to that of the great man. If the emperor is willing to give it, it means that this is the life given to the great man by God. If he is not willing, it is probably because of ignorance. "
Great Prime Minister!
Everyone suddenly realized that it turned out that the head of the family wanted the position of prime minister. This is the only official position in the world that is above all political entities and is second only to the emperor.
However, after the death of King Luowen, no one has held the position. Even Huo Guang's assistant position is only the official position of Great Sima. The Great Sima is indeed the highest military position. Emperor Xiaowu specifically stipulated that the position should be the Prime Minister. above.
But no matter how high it is, this is still an official position within the Han Dynasty!
And the Prime Minister is clearly positioned above the internal and external vassals, even above the Queen!
Because after the emperor was promoted, there was no position matching him, which made the Prime Minister more and more noble. It would be more reasonable if Luo Yi could serve as the Prime Minister.
“But will the emperor be willing?
The head of the family does not have much prestige outside of Duke Zhao. All he can rely on is the reputation of his family. "
This is a common problem faced by the head of the Luo family. On Ji Zhao's system panel, the Luo family's reputation as a family is getting higher and higher, but the prestige of the family head is not high.
If there were reputation panels for other family members on the system, Ji Zhao would see that both Yinghou and Wushuanghou had higher personal prestige than Zhaogong.

Lingyou six years.
There was a meteor in Chang'an that looked like a pillar of dust, and it fell in Changle. The sound was so shocking that people in the palace were horrified, and the emperor sent the palace people to watch it, saying: "The Han Dynasty has been revealed."
After thinking about it, he went to Zhaocheng and sent a letter to Zhao Gongyi, saying: "This is God's will and cannot be violated."
The emperor made Duke Zhao the prime minister. ——"Book of Han: Chronicles of the Emperor's Mourning"
