Luo Kong sent the guests back?
This made everyone in the room a little uneasy.
According to the news that came back before, didn't Luo Kong take Prince Ben and Prince Xie to Chang'an?
Everyone felt very strange.
If Zhang Jiao is Luo Xiao, although the news has not yet come, Luo Xiao is already dead, who does Luo Kong want to send to Zhaocheng?
Luo Zhang asked loudly: "Who is the guest?"
The guard outside the door replied: "A middle-aged man with a rather kind appearance. The brother who came back with the guest said that the young master was trying to recruit talented people to the family, and he had the talents of a king.
One was a young girl who was in love with the country. The female official accompanying her said she was the daughter of Cai Yong and was entrusted to Gong Zikong. She was a strange woman who had just grown hair. Gong Zikong meant to marry within the family. "
After this introduction, everyone understood that it was no wonder that Wang Zuozhi and the strange woman were sent back to the family, but immediately they felt deeply uneasy.
what happened?
He actually asked Luo Kong to take the risk to send the person back instead of taking him with him.
We can only send someone to investigate this matter later.
Luo Zhang looked around and then looked at the Luo girls and said: "I will arrange for the disciples who are leaving Zhaocheng to come to me regarding Akong's matter.
Try to be a crowned child, of course, there is no requirement, anyone over the age of fifteen can travel.
I'd like to trouble you all to go and see this wonderful woman. I'm going to see this wise man with the talents of a king. "
The most beautiful time in a woman's life is when she is twenty years old. She is young at first, mature at the end, and becomes the most beautiful woman just after her hair. This makes all the girls of the Luo family a little curious.
They are all stunningly beautiful, but they know that they are far inferior to women like their ancestors Xizi, Ji Lingjun, Wenjun, and Hede.
Now there might be a woman like this, so naturally I am a little curious.
Everyone filed out and left, leaving only Luo Zhang.
…
Jia Xu and Cai Yan hurriedly hurriedly, and finally arrived at Zhaocheng before it closed. The guards and female officials verified their identities, and the group entered Zhaocheng smoothly.
Looking at this city full of ancient meaning, Jia Xu and Cai Yan had complicated moods.
The entire Han Dynasty plus Yinhu had a population of about 50 million, and the entire Zhuxia kingdoms and the vassal states within their jurisdiction had a population of more than 60 million.
Among the 60 million people, whether they were emperors, generals, ministers or ordinary people, they all wanted to be protected by Zhaocheng, and he was about to get it now.
Although the price is to give up many worldly things, such as glory and power, this is not something that everyone can make up their mind, especially those with the talent of a king.
After entering Zhaocheng, the troops protecting them along the way were taken to the armor removal area to rest by three guards, while the three female officials took Jia Xu and Cai Yan to the inner city.
Zhaocheng is very prosperous, a kind of prosperity that is different from Luoyang.
Luoyang is what a big city should be like. Walking to the streets full of merchants will make people very excited, but when you leave those small towns, you will see beggars and so on in many small alleys.
But Zhaocheng didn't. The entire city seemed to have been planned. Of course, it couldn't be said to be spotless, but it was very neat. Shops and residential areas were neatly located, and there were no alleys that made people feel scared.
Cai Yan couldn't help but sigh: "What a holy city. Although Luoyang is prosperous, it pales in comparison. No wonder my father sighs every time he returns from Zhaocheng and wishes he could live in Zhaocheng."
The female official heard this and said: "Zhaocheng is the only city among the hundreds of cities in the Xia kingdoms that has no human traffickers, beggars, or prostitutes.
Neither are those scumbag groups entrenched in the darkness of the city. From birth to death, the family pays attention to everyone and controls everything. This is the only place of justice. "
Jia Xu secretly kept these in mind, but he understood that the reason why Zhaocheng was able to do this was because the family's talents were extremely rich, and no other regime could ever do this.
Being able to achieve a fair level of fairness is already the peak of governance. The rest must be maintained by morality and the blood of people's hearts.
As soon as we walked into the inner city, all the hustle and bustle of the outer city was completely gone. Except for the guards, there were almost no people here. As far as the street could be seen, groups of patrolling daredevils rode by on horseback. After walking for less than one stick of incense, he was checked three times.
The tight security here was somewhat beyond the two people's expectations. "In the inner city, there is the Luo family's 1,300-year-old ancestral temple, as well as the most precious storage room. These things are more precious than life, so The defense is tight.
We can't move around at will in the inner city. Let's get the token now. There will be places on the token that we can go to. I don't know how the family owner will arrange it. "
Just as he was talking, he heard a female official riding a horse to the side of the carriage and said: "Aunt, this is the token. Just now the head of the family asked the noble daughter of the Cai family to go to the Taiyin Palace. All the seniors in the clan, including the high priest, are waiting there. she.
Mr. Wenhe followed me and took me to the quiet room of the main hall to meet the head of the family. "
Jia Xu and Cai Yan were shocked when they heard this. The arrangements had been made, so they separated directly and went to both sides.
…
The palaces in the inner city were so small that Jia Xu felt they shouldn't be called palaces, but the feeling these buildings gave him far surpassed those of those majestic big cities.
If the mountain is not high, it will be famous if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous. This sentence is probably the most suitable to apply to Luo.
The female official who came with Jia Xu stood outside the courtyard, stretched out her hands and said, "Please, Mr. Wenhe, the head of the family is waiting for you in the courtyard."
Jia Xu took a deep breath and walked into the courtyard. He saw a handsome man with some white hair on his temples sitting under a willow tree. He knew that this was the current Zhaogong Luo Zhang.
At this moment, Jia Xu couldn't help but think about what his ancestor Jia Yi looked like when he went to meet King Luo Wen.
Is it the same as how you feel now?
The ancestors created the Wuwei Jia family lineage back then. Can I revive it now?
Jia Xu had countless thoughts in his heart, but he was not nervous in his heart. His face was very calm. He walked up to Luo Zhang, bowed and said: "Jia Xu pays homage to the Grand Duke. May the Grand Duke be safe and blessed."
Luo Zhang raised his eyes and looked at Jia Xu. He was a very ordinary person, very smileless, but still very kind. Anyone would think that he was a good old man.
Many talents in this world can be seen as extraordinary from their appearance, but Jia Xu is not like that. Luo Zhang guessed that he should be the kind of person who is good at inner performance. Without thinking much, he returned the gift and then extended his hand and said: "Mr. Wenhe, please sit."
Jia Xu followed his words and sat down opposite Luo Zhang and said, "You can just call Xu Wenhe. I really don't deserve the term sir."
Luo Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Wen He, you came here with the letter from Marquis Wushuang. Can you tell me about your experience?"
Luo Zhang now knows what happened to Luo Kong. Although he is very angry, this is the path Luo Kong has chosen, and he has no plans to do anything at the moment.
However, Dong Zhuo's name was still recorded here.
Jia Xu knew that this was an interview. He didn't talk much about Dong Zhuo, but first introduced his background.
Then he talked about what happened when Luo Kong passed through Liangzhou, he defected to Luo Kong, and then walked eastward, as well as his thoughts during it.
Just these things made Luo Zhang very satisfied, but after all, these are things in the past. After Jia Xu said a lot, Luo Zhang asked: "Wenhe, what do you think Dong Zhuo will do in the future?"
When Jia Xu heard this, his brain began to think rapidly. He couldn't help but place the feather fan in front of his face. Luo Zhang was not in a hurry and even poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
Jia Xu put away his feather fan and said slowly: "My lord, what Xu said may be a bit alarmist, but it is what Xu thinks in his heart."
"oh?"
Luo Zhang pushed the tea over, and then said with a smile: "Wen He can speak freely, this Zhaocheng is a place of freedom."
Jia Xu has always been very cautious and doesn't like to talk too much or express his meaning clearly, but after arriving in Zhaocheng, he felt that he could speak freely.
After sorting out his thoughts, he said: "Grand Duke, the day before yesterday, Xu seemed to have heard the news of the death of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Tianyi Dao of Taiping Dao."
Luo Zhang's eyes flashed with sadness and he said, "Yes, Zhang Jiao passed away."
Jia Xu felt that the atmosphere was a little depressed, and recalled the attitude of Wushuang Hou Luokong, with some speculation in his mind, and then said: "Zhang Jiao's death can be said to be a major event that changed the entire world situation.
There is a counselor beside Dong Zhuo, named Li Ru, who is a good friend of mine. This man has an extremely far-sighted vision. If it were not for the obsession in his heart, there would be no more than two counselors in the world who can compare with him.
Dong Zhuo had Prince Bian and Prince Association in his hands. Chang'an was located in a remote area and had long lost the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, Chang'an was an old capital and had insufficient political status in the hearts of the people. The most important thing was that the imperial mausoleums and ancestral temples of the Later Han Dynasty were not there. Chang'an.
Although the Later Han Dynasty succeeded the Early Han Dynasty, after receiving the order, people in the world still had differences in their minds. The emperor of the Later Han Dynasty did not worship the tomb of the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty but worshiped the tomb of the Emperor of the First Han Dynasty. This is quite funny.
On the other hand, in Luoyang, although Zhang Jiao conquered Luoyang, the city of Luoyang is still prosperous, and Zhang Jiao cleaned up a group of officials in Luoyang. Now the relationship in Luoyang is relatively simple.
Although the Taiping Army took away a large amount of floating wealth, Luoyang's greatest wealth was its population and land. As long as it occupied Luoyang and held the emperor hostage, it would have a legitimate status.
Li Wenyou will not miss this opportunity. As long as Dong Zhuo gets the news, he will lead his army to Luoyang from Chang'an. "
Until this point, Luo Zhang remained unmoved. These words were not alarmist. He knew that what Jia Xu said next was the key point, and he quietly waited for Jia Xu's guess.
Jia Xu took a deep breath and said: "After entering Luoyang, the prince association will become the emperor. The prince will die in the debate, or die in the emperor's position. The probability of survival is low."
What a sensational statement indeed!
Luo Zhang suppressed the thoughts in his heart and asked: "How do you think Dong Zhuo dares to bear the crime of regicide?"
Naturally, Luo Zhang was extremely repulsive to regicide, unless the emperor was already a single husband. For example, the Emperor of Zhou during the Zhuxia War was directly killed by Duke Min. But for an emperor who had no major faults, if he could Killing at will is challenging Tsunadune.
If regicide is correct, what about parricide, brother-killing, and brother-killing?
What about the killings between fathers and sons, mothers and sons, brothers and sisters?
Once the moral bottom line is broken and becomes routine, it is irreversible.
Jia Xu knew that Luo Zhang didn't believe it, but was asking himself why. He sighed slightly and said, "Didn't Emperor Ling hang himself?"
Emperor Ling could hang himself, so naturally Liu Bian could hang himself, or he could suddenly fall ill.
As long as the emperor was not stabbed to death in the street in public, who would know that it was regicide?
Luo Zhang asked again: "Then why did you kill Liu Bian?"
Although this is just a hypothesis, it can be seen from it the counselor's thinking ability. Jia Xu said all his guesses, "Since Liu Bian and Liu Xie left with the king, Xu has been observing these two people. A prince.
Although Xu is not talented, he is good at recruiting people and making plans. Liu Bian is cowardly and does not have the aura to be a king, but he has inner resilience and is a good person. He must be grateful for the king's kindness to him along the way.
Liu Xie is smart, but he is quite similar to the Ling Emperor. Although he is still very young, he is a bit too smart. If he were the emperor, he would be better than Liu Bian, but that's all.
When Xu left, the ruler was going to confront Dong Zhuo and was bound to be defeated. No matter how the ruler ended up, it was an undisputed fact that Dong Zhuo was in control of the situation. "
Luo Zhang heard the words and said: "Wu Shuanghou is still alive."
Jia Xu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know how Duke Zhao knew it, but since he said it so loudly, he must be alive.
Jia Xu nodded and said: "It is difficult for a monarch to change things while he is alive.
Dong Zhuo is a bit cruel, while Wen You is a bit..."
Jia Xu didn't know how to describe it. He didn't want to say bad things about Li Ru in front of Luo Zhang. Moreover, Li Ru didn't stop or pursue him at all during his escape. The friendship between the two was real.
Finally, Jia Xu said: "Wen You is extremely loyal and will act according to Dong Zhuo's will. If the monarch is alive, Liu Bian will definitely be close to the monarch. This is something Dong Zhuo cannot tolerate.
Therefore, Liu Bian will definitely die. He must die and support Liu Xie to rise to power. When Liu Xie rises to power, seeing his brother's fate, he will definitely stay away from the king.
This change of emperor would also bring great prestige, allowing everyone to clearly see Dong Zhuo's powerful position. Wen You would definitely suggest Dong Zhuo do this. "
"Bah bang bang!"
Luo Zhang couldn't help but applaud Jia Xu. Jia Xu's analysis started from the characters of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, as well as the internal environment Dong Zhuo faced, and then made speculations. This speculation is basically certain to come true. of.
However, neither of them knew that Luo Kong was originally prepared to die, but was protected by Liu Bian's sudden outburst. If they knew this, Jia Xu's speculation would go further.
"Wen He, you are really a great talent. Your art of painting people is unfathomable. Although I still don't know your ability as a painter, your art of painting people is already quite rare. You are welcome to join Luo Family."
It’s done now!
————
Jia Xu was said to be wise and scheming, quite similar to Zhang Liang, and he was good at observing people's hearts and making plans. People at the time had a saying: "The painter paints the skin, and Jia Xu carves the heart." - "Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty"
