Of course, the emperor's mind would not change very quickly. Luo Fu guessed that the last straw that overcame the emperor's insistence was to submit a letter.
The Lu family, the Han family, the Xiao family, the Zhang family, and the Luo family, the founders of the country, came from the five clans and seven families in Guandong.
King Zhao, King Liang, King Chu, and King Jiaodong (i.e. King Qi) are the four princes and kings who are located in dangerous places in Guandong.
The memorial reported on the situation in Guandong. These families were the most critical princes of the Han Dynasty in Guandong.
Not to mention the princes and kings, except for Yinghou Luo and Anyang Han, in order to ensure their loyalty, the other families have married into the royal family many times.
These families control the transportation arteries and battlegrounds of the five states in Guanzhong, the most densely populated area in Guanzhong, and firmly guard all the roads from the five states to Luoyang.
These kingdoms and principalities cannot withstand the pressure, which proves that Guandong is corrupt. The overall resources and population of Guandong are naturally far greater than those of Guanzhong. How can the emperor not be trembling?
Guandong is corrupt, the princes are unable to help, Guanzhong is unstable, and the voice calling for restructuring is getting louder. Faced with this situation, what can the emperor do?
"During the reign of Emperor Liu Dan, there was a petition. Hundreds of princes jointly requested Emperor Ru to change the decree. They even forcibly opened the bus station and summoned the prime minister. However, Emperor Liu Dan did not accept it. This time the emperor may I don’t dare to do this.”
The emperor's power is indeed great, but power comes from the bottom up. Without his younger brothers, no one can gain prestige. It is as powerful as the Luo family who has his own methods. To achieve great power by himself, he still needs allies.
If the emperor dares to stand up, once he becomes a loner, his ministers will think, why don't you do what is obviously the right thing?
You fool!
At that time, except for the die-hard and foolishly loyal ministers, the minds of other ministers will change.
Once someone guides you, it will be easy to clear the emperor's side, but serious to kill the independent husband!
Everyone in the room agreed with what Luo Fu said, "Nowadays, the general trend of the world is restructuring, and Wang Mang has successfully seized power.
If the emperor of the Han Dynasty collapsed at this time and could only establish a young emperor, who could not say that this was destiny? "
A slightly younger Luo Shizi asked strangely: "Master, what Wang Mang has always wanted to do is to fight against the powerful. We all know how difficult this is.
When Duke Zhaozhongyi did this, he faced great resistance and had to prepare for it for several years.
Everyone knows what Wang Mang and the people behind Wang Mang want to do, so why doesn't anyone stop Wang Mang from rising to power? "
Luo Fu smiled and shook his head when he heard this and explained: "Because those who support Wang Mang are not the powerful ones.
Who are the reformists?
We, the Luo family, are the Confucian classics family that holds the power to interpret Confucian classics, the guarding princes and other dignitaries who do not live by annexing land, the passionate and idealistic scholar group, and the upright officials who hope to establish a prosperous age.
To sum up, it is a group of Qingliu people who have the right to speak but do not live off the land. They hope to be restored to the level described in Emperor Xiaowen and even the sages' classics.
What about the naysayers?
The big tyrants in the counties are the main force of opposition. They are deeply entangled in the local area and powerful, but they have no say!
No one listened to what they said, so they could only speak out through the scholar group, but the scholar group looked down on these wealthy locals at all. After all, the current scholar group was still on the rise, and its goal was to build a prosperous age as described in the sages and classics.
The other opposition groups were mainly relatives of the emperor, such as relatives and eunuchs. These people were even more outrageous than the powerful. The powerful had to find opportunities to take advantage of them, such as lending money during disaster years, or colluding with local officials to collude.
Relatives, relatives and eunuchs directly robbed them. Ten years ago, I remember that in Hedong County, a descendant of a branch lineage became an official, and finally brought the matter to the emperor. If this was not a descendant of the branch lineage, but an official with no background, What will be the final outcome? "
What will happen?
What else will happen to the relatives who ruined their families and the eunuchs who destroyed their families?
Aren’t today’s maternal relatives, the Wang family, also a group of playboys?
It is precisely because of this that Wang Mang's appearance is so valuable.
Among a group of filthy people, who could not yearn for the appearance of such a noble person?
He should have written to some of you, asking you to come out and help him, and some of you have been moved and have forgotten the outcome of Duke Zhao Zhongyi.
In other words, I would rather go to that ending and try my best to give it a try. "
As soon as Luo Fu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room was a little different. Several people instantly prostrated on the ground. Luo Fu's third son said in a deep voice: "Father.
Jujun indeed wrote a letter to his son and several brothers, but everything was still in doubt.
The son has been thinking about why his grandfather Zhao Zhongyi failed back then.
Could it be because of our Luo family?
What if we don’t do it ourselves?
What if we just help?
A hundred years ago, the family determined to fight against the powerful, but now they have waited for decades for such a person to appear. If they don't help him, they really can't get over this hurdle in their hearts.
Moreover, the family's business income dropped by 20% last year, because the chaos in the world made it difficult to trade, and it was impossible to increase the prices of daily necessities other than luxury goods. It would only become more difficult in the future.
Now the caravans of the British Marquis have begun to be attacked by refugee bandits. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the family's caravans are attacked.
The most important thing is to increase our influence on the world and stabilize the world again.
Sons do not need to inherit the family, and there is no shortage of sons in the clan.
The most appropriate time is to go to the human world. Even if you die in troubled times, it is just fate. As long as you can do your best for the world, it is better than being here and looking at the weak. "
These words are clearly organized, demonstrating the necessity of everything from his true intentions to the situation faced by his family, with a free and easy attitude towards life and death.
"What if he is not the one who can save the world?"
Hearing his father's words, Luo Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said decisively: "Then my son will go even more!
He has such great power. If he cannot use it rationally, it will cause great harm to the world. Only by his side can we control things from slipping to the worst. "
Everyone in the Luo family sitting on both sides looked at the people lying on the ground, their eyes fluctuating. Luo Qi was the first Luo family son to become an official after the death of Duke Zhao Zhongyi. Although some agreed, some disagreed. Yes, but everyone understood.
Human beings are inherently complex.
Some people think that a monarch's morality is more important than his ability, some people think that his ability is more important than his morality, some people like a strong monarch, and some people like a monarch who is willing to listen to advice.
Some people are willing to go to any lengths for their friends without hesitation.
No one knows Wang Mang's specific ability to do things, but he has bright ideals, which is enough in the eyes of many people. A monarch does not need to know everything, and Wang Mang and Luo Qi are good friends.
Luo Fu was silent for a long time this time, and his eldest son Lui said softly: "Father, since Aqi wants to go, let him go over there. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, didn't King Zhaosheng also let the children of the family act as they pleased? ?
The world at that time was even more chaotic than it is now, and the family at that time did not have the prestige it does now. Since the children of the family want to fight for their ideals, they should support them.
Not only Aqi, if there are other disciples who want to leave Zhaocheng, they can also recommend them.
Our Luo family has a good reputation for thousands of years, and the saints and talents of the past dynasties cannot be left to Wang Jujun to be more beautiful than before. "
As soon as Roy finished speaking, everyone in the room bowed their heads slightly and bowed, "Prince Su is on top!"
Luo Fu sighed leisurely: "King Su is with you!"
Luo Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately kowtowed heavily and said happily: "With King Su on top, Qi will definitely not lose the reputation of the family."
When everyone left, Luo Fu looked at his eldest son and said, "Do you think Wang Mang can accomplish this?"
Roy pondered for a while, recalling his impression that Wang Mang was relatively clear about the world's ills, so he said: "This is not something that a son can know, but it is enough to take charge of major affairs.
I'm afraid we'll hear the news about him becoming prime minister soon.
After becoming the prime minister, I am afraid that I will have to exclude dissidents and make the court sound unified.
How far he can go after that depends on his ideas and methods.
His son had heard Wang Mang's previous words. His main method was to distribute the powerful land to the poor people who lacked land, so that the court could achieve a model of one hundred acres per family.
If we want to return to the time of Emperor Xiaocheng, it will be relatively simple.
If we want to return to the time of Emperor Xiaoxuan, then we need a capable minister like King Luo Wen to be resurrected.
If we want to return to the time of Emperor Xiaowen, we will definitely fail.
A big step is more than just walking fast.
But if Aqi is by his side, he should be able to understand the stakes. "
————
The prime minister rashly advances, holding his superiors and subordinates hostage, promoting those who are submissive, and executing those who disobey, spreading his claws and claws, and using dogs and horses extensively.
Some scholars said that his party was fighting against the different Mang and went to the head of the imperial examination. Weeping and begging for the bones, the officials came in and said: "Mang has great virtues, has grand intentions, is respectful and filial, and is praised by the world. Why do he use evil words to destroy the country?" minister?"
The Empress Dowager then became angry and said: "The world is in decline and talented people are in charge. If you don't want to help, if you say evil things instead, you can be killed!"
The emperor is also angry, and the crown is getting stronger and stronger. ——"Book of Han·Biography of Wang Mang"
