In the Wushuang Hou Mansion, there are pavilions and pavilions extending in all directions. Luo Kong turned around several corridors and arrived at his mother's courtyard.
"Brother."
Sitting in the courtyard is a woman dressed in the attire of a female official. She has a curvaceous figure and a fair face, as delicate as a flower that has just plucked its stamens. She is sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, her wrists are as bright as snow, and she is extremely beautiful. , seeing Luo Kong, Qingshen was blessed. Luo Kong bowed slightly and smiled in return: "Is mother awake? There are some things I want to discuss."
"My aunt has woken up and is admiring the flowers in the backyard. Brother, please come with me."
The two of them walked into the backyard. A noble lady was carefully watering the delicate and beautiful flowers. There was a trace of scars between her eyebrows. Luo Kong's mother was a daughter of the Luo family, and there was another female official beside her.
Hearing the voice, he turned around and saw that it was his son. He put down what he was doing and pointed to a pavilion in the backyard. The two female officials left, and the mother and son walked to the pavilion and knelt down.
Wushuanghou's country has been divided between military and political affairs for many years. Wushuanghou is responsible for fighting the war, while Luo Kong's mother is in charge of government affairs. There has been no mistake in these years.
Zhizi Mo Ruomu, not to mention such a smart woman, as soon as Luo Kong came, she knew what he wanted to do.
Luo Kong was still struggling with how to speak, but Luo Xin said directly: "King Qin's edict has been issued, do you want to lead an army to King Qin in the Central Plains?
Have you thought about it? "
After hearing what his mother said, Luo Kong's expression relaxed. He kowtowed heavily first, then raised his head and said, "Yes, mother.
Wushuanghou...
Wushuanghou is a Hanchen.
Where does the family's reputation for thirteen hundred years come from?
Is it just based on the reputation of being a descendant of King Su?
This is a double-edged sword. If what Luo does can be worthy of the reputation of a descendant of King Su, it will naturally be a double blessing.
But if Luo Shi can't do it, he will be looked down upon by the world even more.
Luo's loyalty is immortal in Bangzhou. This is the source of his reputation.
Marquis Yingwen was loyal to Emperor Gao. In order to protect King Han Ping, he gave up the opportunity to assist the new emperor and become a highly respected minister. People all over the world praised his character.
It was very easy for King Luo Wen to take over the affairs of the Han Dynasty, depose the emperor or even usurp power. Everyone in the world knew that, not to mention when Emperor Xiaowen was young, even when he was Queen Gao, King Luo Wen's power was not that great. of usurping the throne.
Duke Wu Ying of Lu even personally told King Zhaosheng that if the Luo family wanted to be the emperor, the Lu family would abandon the Liu family without hesitation. Don't people in the world think so?
However, King Luowen restrained himself and observed etiquette and became a model for the world. Starting from King Luowen, the family of loyal ministers of the Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years took shape among the Han Dynasty.
People in the world regard the children of the family as the embodiment of morality. Whether they are allies or enemies, they all trust Luo's morality.
In the past, our ancestor Wu Xianghou was unparalleled, and the ruthless emperor was kind to him, but he acted arrogantly and offered peace to the emperor.
In the end, he took away Emperor Ru's children and protected them under the Wushuang Kingdom.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid the world would already be filled with mixed praise and praise.
However, there were few complaints about the ancestor Wu Xianghou, and many people even praised this as the best result.
Isn't this because of the blessings of our ancestors?
Duke Zhao Zhongyi was not a minister of the Han Dynasty, but when the world was exhausted, he stood up and died in Heluo. The world was miserable. It was enough for Duke Zhao to do this.
The son knew that the Luo family put Zhu Xia first, but the people in the world didn't think so. It was reasonable for the Duke of Zhao not to participate in the civil strife of the Han Dynasty for the sake of Zhu Xia, because the Duke of Zhao was not a Han official.
But the son was a Han official, and when he saw that the Han Dynasty was exhausted and powerless, he could hide it from himself in guarding the Western Regions, but how could he sit back and watch the Han Dynasty fall into ruin?
Infidelity is infidelity. No matter how many excuses you find, aren't they just excuses?
If his son receives the order from King Qin today and does not go east, what will the world think?
It turns out that Luo's ministers will not die in obedience, so is it still wrong for us to decisively abandon our own monarch?
It turns out that loyalty is a joke. Isn’t the loyalty between monarch and minister, father and son, and husband and wife all a joke?
It turns out that the so-called loyalty is all in vain.
What about benevolence and righteousness?
What about faith?
What about the so-called etiquette?
My son has been thinking about etiquette since he was a child, what is etiquette?
Later I figured out that fulfilling one’s responsibilities as a person is etiquette.
If everyone can fulfill their responsibilities, the world will be stable. If everyone fails to do so, the world will be in chaos.
If the Luo family cannot do this, the entire class of powerful people will fall in an instant, and the nobles will immediately follow, followed by the ordinary powerful people, and the whole world.
You know, this is not alarmist, this is the influence of the family.
There are some things that you can't help but have to do. "
Luo Kong's voice echoed in the pavilion. As soon as Luo Xin heard it, he knew that his son had indeed come prepared. He didn't know how many times he thought about these words in his heart.
She sighed slightly and said leisurely: "There is no problem with King Qin, but what about the Western Regions?
Tell us what you think. "
A sharp gleam flashed in Luo Kong's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "To guard the Western Region for two hundred years, the family has made many sacrifices, even my father...
How much more blood can the family shed here?
Now it is time for others to bleed, and it is time for Liu's vassal kingdom to hold up the sky of the Western Regions.
My son believes that there are still capable people in the Western Regions, and the talents here will not be inferior to those in the Central Plains.
Once the son leaves, the Western Region should burst with energy. "
Luo Xin was a little surprised that Luo Kong had this idea. It seemed that Luo Kong's patience with certain countries had reached an extreme and he was no longer willing to allow certain countries to exist.
The challenge from the bottom to the top is an eternal theme. The heroes of the Western Regions are also unwilling to see those kings sitting on the throne forever. They are also unable to bear the oppression and are constantly challenging the order.
This contradiction has become so great that Wushuang Houfu does not want to suppress it for the sake of stability.
Stability is indeed important. Most of the time, stable societies move upward, but history is an upward spiral. Sometimes stability can turn into a pool of stagnant water. It is also important to challenge authority.
Now that Luo Kong has thought about the outcome of the Western Region, Luo Xin has only one last thing left, which is also what she is most concerned about, "How many people will you take with you when you go to King Dongqin?
We brought too much, and we could not supply food and fodder to our troops even if we tried our best in the Western Regions. Back then, Marquis Jingnan of Wuxiang provided supplies along the way. Now the Western Regions can only supply food as far as Yumen Pass at most, and Liangzhou is not our territory.
There are still two thousand miles to go, how will you get your food and grass there?
If you bring too little...
Remember, you must be extremely careful!
The Central Plains is not the Western Region. People of your generation have lived in the Western Region most of the time. You don’t know the situation in the Central Plains. With your qualifications, there are too many people who can be your opponents in the Central Plains today.
Only people like Zi Ling can control the world, and your qualifications are far from enough.
I have seen scholars who came to study in Zhaocheng, and some of them were extremely talented. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you will follow in your father's footsteps. "
Luo Xiao Luo Ziling!
Luo Kong was a little stunned when he heard this name. If he met such a person, he would definitely be in bad luck.
"People like my brother..."
Luo Xin frowned and said: "That Zhang Jiao is very unusual. I have met Huangfu Song before. When he pacified Liangzhou, he cooperated with your father.
He is extraordinary, a truly unparalleled general.
Your father and you will not be Huangfu Song's opponents unless you have top advisers by your side to advise on military affairs, such as advisers like Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang.
But Huangfusong was defeated by the fledgling Zhang Jiao. This was a very strange thing. He could not be a real white body. Even Huaiyin Wu Muhou had studied under King Chen, who was under King Su. The pinnacle of military power cannot be achieved yet.
I have already gone to Xinzhao City to ask my brother about the origin of Zhang Jiao. He was born in Jizhou and will definitely not be able to escape.
But what is shown now is not something you can handle, so you have to be careful and wait for the other King Qin troops to come together instead of fighting alone.
Otherwise, I really can only give the white-haired person to the black-haired person. "
Seeing that his mother was so serious, Luo Kong nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.
————
After receiving the imperial edict, he mobilized all the young men in the country, summoned all the kingdoms, and assembled an army of 30,000 people. He vowed to fight to the death to defend the Han Dynasty, and marched eastward with his sword. The Western Regions and Liangzhou were shaken, and the Central Plains was shaken. ——"Book of the Later Han·Wushuang Hou Family"
