Emperor Ling!
This was a jaw-dropping result. The princes who were fleeing in all directions and the officials who were watching Luoyang in the prefectures and counties were all silenced.
I am trying to revitalize the Han Dynasty. Why did your Majesty become a single man?
For a moment, the hustle and bustle around Luoyang ceased.
All knowledgeable people in the world know that this will definitely cause drastic changes in the hearts of the world.
After Luo Xiao gave the posthumous title to Emperor Ling, he gave posthumous titles to a few Han Dynasty officials, but most of them did not. He took the posthumous title to express his political stance.
Each posthumous title has its own purpose. For example, people like Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song will definitely get a posthumous title. Although they are all dead, they still need to be commended for comfort.
Huangfu Song died on the battlefield, and Lu Zhi committed suicide. As long as the comfort was done properly, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Naturally, those ministers and relatives of the clan who helped the souls torment would be severely criticized, so that everyone in the world would know that these people deserved to be paraded through the streets.
After the Taiping Army broke through Luoyang City, and after these things, basically all the Taiping Army Qu Shuai from Jingzhou, mainly Nanyang, Hongnong and other places rushed to Luoyang City.
For a time, the Taiping Army basically disappeared among the states and counties, but at this time, the main force in the world was not the Taiping Army, but the rise of swarms of thieves.
Now the Taiping Army has transformed itself into the Tang-Wu Revolution through a series of campaigns. The most important thing is that it has been recognized by a large number of scholars.
This series of political actions is not a big problem in the short term, but the political impact it will have will be extremely far-reaching. What Luo Xiao did was to directly dig into the roots of the dynasty.
After doing all these things one by one, Luo Xiao felt that his destiny in this world was about to end.
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Luo Xiao was lying leisurely in front of the hall, and the warm sunshine slanted down and shone on him.
He always wears Taoist robes. Although he is not handsome in appearance, he has a charming charm. This is probably the reason why his charm can reach 80.
Naturally, there were no palace maids around to serve him, but there were a few Qushuai standing around, listening to his teachings from time to time.
Luo Xiao, half asleep and half awake, asked vaguely: "Are those brothers gone?"
Luo Xiao was talking about the commanders of the Taiping Army. There were dozens of commanders of the Taiping Army, many of whom led thousands of Taiping troops to the prefectures and counties of Sili or Guandong.
After all, Luo Xiao's life was short-lived. In a place like Luoyang, where all the Taiping Army gathered, something might happen.
In fact, this behavior of the Taiping Army confused many people. They didn't know why they left Luoyang. Some even thought that the Taiping Army was now beginning to unify the world.
But the people in Luoyang City didn't think so, because the Taiping Army had no intention of proclaiming emperor.
It seemed that they just wanted to destroy the Han Dynasty and then ended their mission. Many scholars and ministers made insinuations, but they all got the same message.
The Taoist master will not proclaim himself emperor!
The Taiping Army will gradually leave Luoyang City. Now is the beginning of these rumors coming true one by one. The Taiping Army has really left.
At this time, there were only five or six people surrounding Luo Xiao. When he heard the Taoist master's question, Zhang Yan quickly replied: "They are all gone, with boxes of valuables and buckets full of them. Brothers, it's okay." happy."
Luo Xiao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the blue sky, "Why don't you leave? You have made great contributions. I have given you the most wealth. You have enough soldiers and food. No matter where you go, you can get a lot of achievements."
Several people immediately knelt on the ground and cried directly: "We just hope to be by the Tao Master's side and don't want to do anything else. Besides...
I just hope I can accompany you on your last journey. "
Luo Xiao sighed slightly and said: "Where in this world is there a feast that never ends?
Where are there immortal people in this world? What do you care about?
But since you have this intention, I also have something to say, please remember it, it may be useful in the future. "
Guan Hai, Zhang Yan, Bu Cai, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and Zhao Hong, who were kneeling on the ground, looked at each other a few times, all a little surprised.
Every word of the Taoist master is of great use. In today's troubled times, no one can clearly see the general trend of the world. Everyone is like a boat on the sea, fearing that they will capsize at any time.
Luo Xiao thought about what he should say.
"The world will become chaotic, and heroes from all walks of life will appear on the scene at this time.
My suggestion is that you should not be princes competing for the world. It is not just a matter of talent, but also your character weaknesses.
If you have to force yourself to become a prince, the end will definitely not be good.
In fact, if there was anyone among you who could compete for the world, I would have passed on the Tao of Taiping to him long ago. "
The six people looked at each other in confusion after hearing the words, but after self-examination, they had to admit that what the Taoist said was right, so they listened more carefully.
"But at the same time, don't recognize the lord casually. You will be able to allocate a lot of troops in the future, and you can form an alliance with the more promising princes and go to war as a vassal.
This way, even if you want to change the door, it will be more convenient.
Although the Lord and Ming Gong are just one word apart, the gap is thousands of miles away.
As for how to choose the boss or lord, it is nothing more than the four points of population, army, food and talent, but the most easily overlooked aspect is the leader.
Being strong for a while is not considered strong. Don’t be bound by superficial prosperity. Just like when we raised an army, didn’t the Han court’s power surpass us?
But it’s us who end up sitting here. "
Luo Xiao felt that he was getting sleepy and said: "In the future, the princes of the world will follow the same pattern. Foreign warlords and local nobles will support each other, and then use clansmen and poor men to check and balance the nobles. The generals with foreign surnames were used to check and balance the clan members and scholars from poor families.
You should rest assured and fulfill your role as a military general with a foreign surname, put loyalty first, and don't rely on merit to get other things. No matter which prince you are under, you will get glory and wealth.
If you really want to make a great contribution and leave your name in history as a founding minister, there is only one place to go. I hope that in the five states of Hebei, Yan, Henan, Qingxu, the heroes of the world will be born here.
But this must be the main location of the war, and it will be very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces and wiped out in ashes. "
Luo Xiao's words shocked the six of them. No one had ever told them such things that could save their lives so clearly. This made everyone very moved.
However, what Luo Xiao said later made everyone hesitate. Guan Hai asked: "Tao Master, how can we ensure that we can survive the troubled times in a safer way?"
Everyone's ears were pricked up now. The next words might be the key to survival in this troubled world, something that is hard to replace with a lot of money.
Luo Xiao pondered for a moment and said: "The saying that there are golden horns, silver edges and grass belly on the chessboard is actually the same as competing for the world. Among the worlds, those corners and corners are affiliated with the competing for the world, and they are usually called messages.
For example, Lingnan, Liaodong, and the Western Regions, but all three places have changed now. A conflict will break out between Jiaozhi County and the Lingnan Kingdom. The Yan Kingdom exists in Liaodong, Youzhou is under tremendous pressure, and the Western Regions are facing the Hu people. First line.
Within the four seas, only Yizhou and Yangzhou were relatively safe.
But these two places are the most xenophobic, and the local nobles are extremely colluding with each other. If you enter peacefully, the nobles in these two places will definitely cooperate with you, and they may even marry you their daughters.
It doesn't matter even if the princes occupying the prefectures and counties are nervous and dissatisfied with you. You can ask yourself to be a vassal, and the local nobles will naturally let the previous princes agree to your entry. "
Luo Xiao did not mention more of the entangled interests. For example, the nobles were also trying to check and balance the local princes in order to highlight their own status and importance. Even after saying these things, these people could not understand them. Instead, they were suspicious and harmful.
"If you really want to give it a try and become the top heroes in the world, then stay in Luoyang City. There are leaders of the top wealthy families in this city who need you very much. They can bring you things you can't imagine, but at the same time they are dangerous. There will also be a sharp increase, it’s up to you to make your own decision.”
Luo Xiao just said this, and the Taiping army commanders nodded from time to time. Probably they would never be more serious than at this moment in their lives.
The melodious sound of the piano rang in everyone's ears, and it turned out that it was Cai Yong who came with the piano in his arms. All the commanders of the Taiping Army knew that the Taoist Master liked to listen to Uncle Cai playing the piano, so they all stood aside quietly.
"Gong Bojie, I heard that you have a daughter who followed Marquis Wushuang?"
Luo Xiao's sudden question made Cai Yong's piano-playing hand tremble. He seemed to have not expected that Luo Xiao would ask such a question, and replied: "Yes, Taoist Master, I had some misunderstandings about your army at the time. I was worried." They would burn the books in Dongguan, and my daughter almost memorized the books in Dongguan, so I sent my daughter away so that the books could be restored later.”
Cai Yong didn't lie. If he knew that Zhang Jiao and the Taiping Army were such benevolent and righteous troops, he would never send his daughter away and follow the army. He was really worried about Wenji's ability to withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
Luo Xiao nodded clearly, with a look of realization on his face, "So it's like this, it's really a world of great strife, even strange women appear in droves.
Can Duke Bojie play another song for the horn? "
Cai Yong gently played the piano and asked, "What does the Taoist Master want to hear?"
"Let's play Luoyang Dance!"
Luo Xiao lay quietly, the sun gradually moved towards the west, but there were many footsteps from the palace gate, and most of the people who showed up when giving the posthumous title to Emperor Han Ling that day showed up.
This call made most people confused. They looked at the invincible Heavenly Dao Master on the high steps, lying there quietly, but there was a stern feeling about him. momentum.
Many people here are well-informed and have seen all kinds of heroes, but I have never seen anyone like Zhang Jiao. He is very powerful in armor, but he is still most suitable to wear a Taoist robe, because when wearing a Taoist robe , will match his eyes very well.
That kind of free and easy feeling, the feeling of not caring about the so-called fame and wealth, or even the rules of the world, can be easily thrown away even if the throne is in front of you.
"What is the purpose of calling you here today? This must be what you have in mind."
Luo Xiao's voice spread far and wide, and everyone looked up at him. Luo Xiao said leisurely: "Some of you people still have the Han Dynasty in your hearts, but I don't care, because the human heart cannot be broken. .
Some people have ambitions in their hearts, but I don't care, because ambition is common to all people.
Some people follow the trend and don’t know whether they should follow the Taiping Way. I don’t even care, because there are too many such people in the world. "
Following Luo Xiao's words, there was a slight commotion under the palace wall, but no one said anything. It was extremely normal for these words to come from the mouth of the person in front of him.
"You are obsessed with human affairs. This is the difference between us, but from now on you can use it to your heart's content."
Luo Xiao's words left everyone confused. Why did something feel wrong?
It felt like he was about to explain his funeral, and only a few Qushuai were crying secretly.
Luo Xiao's voice became more and more ethereal, "I obeyed the order of God and came to the world to eradicate the man's destiny. Today, it is considered a success. The man's destiny has fallen, and only a little bit remains in some people's hearts. , but it’s no longer a serious problem.
I have done everything I have to do, I have finished the path I want to walk, what is there left in this world that I should miss?
Only the thousands of years, the long river flowing, the support of people's hearts, and the clear history have left me the traces of Tao and the crown of justice. "
Are you really explaining your funeral arrangements?
Explaining the funeral arrangements in front of so many people is really something that only Zhang Jiao can do.
"it's dark!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed, it couldn't be said that it was getting dark, it should be said that it was a small area of darkness, and a piece of starlight fell on Zhang Jiao's body.
This process is extremely short, so short that most people even think it is their own illusion, but it cannot be an illusion in front of so many people.
"Tao Master!"
The commander-in-chief knelt on the ground and began to cry loudly. Cai Yong was shocked. He rushed over and took a breath, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.
Now everyone knows something is wrong!
Zhang Jiao is dead!
After the rather magical scene just now, Zhang Jiao died!
————
The horns bear a great cause and are transported to the emperor and heaven. With peace, they unite the Li and the common people, fight hard in Hebei, win over Heluo, and write the orders of the Han emperor and ministers to offer sacrifices to the emperor and heaven. His spirit is strong and his ambition is magnificent, which can be said to be strong!
However, the principle of rise and fall is not only in human affairs, but also called destiny. The great power of horns is the ultimate of human beings. The latitude and longitude of the world are not enough to boast, and the great sages and great wisdom are not enough to rank them.
At that time, Yuan Cao was running for his life, Sun Liu was fleeing, Gongsun Lu Dong, and even Wushuang five surnames were in exile in the prefectures and counties. They could be said to be the heroes of the world, and no one could compete with them.
Jiao is holding his hands behind his back, sitting on the back of the common people, to watch the heroes bowing their heads, the common people taking their lives, and the fate of destiny turning around, it seems that there is peace, but the emperor's career is about to be completed, and he dies suddenly. What a pity! ——"Historical Records of the Later Han Dynasty"
