Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 27

The monarch of the Luo family is a prince on the outside and a minister on the inside.

Da Zongzheng, in charge of the affairs of Zhou Zhuji in the state, is responsible for all sacrifices.

In the palace, for the first time, Luo Cheng met the present day Zi Ji Nie as the emperor's nobleman.

He was the eldest son of King Xuan, and his mother was the daughter of the monarch of Qi.

The desolate king had no sons, and in accordance with the patriarchal sequence, King Xuan was the heir to inherit the great lineage.

In order to repair the relationship with Qi State, under the mediation of Luo State, King Xuan married Qi State's direct daughter.

However, Qi State hated Huang Wang deeply, and not only asked for a bad posthumous title, but also demanded that his title be removed. Luohou stopped the move to remove his title.

In the end, the desolate king was not buried in the royal tomb, but directly smashed the roof.

This is to let God punish him with wind, rain, snow and electricity to atone for his sins.

Luo Cheng and the current Ji Nie are still very close. The Queen Mother Qi Jiang is the sister of Luo Cheng's wife, and the current Luo Shizi and the emperor Ji Nie are cousins.

Among the current state and Zhou princes and ministers, the only ones who can achieve this level of intimacy are probably the brothers of Jinie.

For more than a hundred years, the status of the Luo Family in Wang Ji has been slowly declining, gradually descending from the undisputed first nobleman to the current top aristocrat.

Although the Luo clan is no longer an irreplaceable clan among Wang Ji, the emperors of all dynasties cannot ignore the Luo country.

Because Luo Guo is still one of the most important countries with the surname Ji in the East.

The four kingdoms of Jin, Song, Luo and Qi have become more and more prosperous over the past century. The Luo kingdom forced Wei to migrate to the east, and the Marquis of Hand and Xing to the north were all vassals of Luo.

The marriage between Luo Guo and Qi country is not only a marriage between the public office, but also the marriage between the Qing clan, which can be called an unbreakable alliance.

Otherwise, if the Desolate King cooks and kills Duke Ai of Qi, how could Luohou say a few words and just pass it off?

In view of this, the royal family has always maintained sufficient respect for Luohou.

This is a family banquet. The Queen Mother Qi Jiang, the Emperor Jinie, the Queen Shen Jiang, and the three most distinguished members of the royal family are all present. This is a kind of emphasis on Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng took his wife Luo Jiang to this family dinner.

The graceful maids were dancing, and the musicians were singing gorgeous pieces.

"O great king, you will always enjoy the blessing of the destiny, you will always enjoy the blessings and wealth from generation to generation, and you will shine like the sun."

Beneath the sacred ritual and music bells, the five people's moods were different.

Especially Queen Shen Jiang, she is the daughter of Marquis Shen, and now she is a queen. Her status is second only to Queen Mother Qi Jiang, but she is not happy.

Because Gine didn't like her, she even exiled the prince to Shen.

Jinie doted on concubine Bao Si even more, and even said in private that she wanted to abolish her post.

This made her feel the crisis.

If her post position is abolished, then her son's crown prince position must be abolished.

At that time, Wang Ji is so big, where is the place for them?

Her father is a prince outside the country, and it is impossible to raise an army to rebel because of these private rumors, so she needs to find a strong reinforcement in the country.

Luo Chengcheng is her goal!

And she is very confident that the Luo family has always been the defender of the patriarchal system.

She doesn't even need to do anything, her son is the eldest son, Luo Cheng will naturally maintain his position.

But she is a wise woman, Luo Cheng doesn't need it, it doesn't mean she really doesn't do anything, proper release of kindness is essential.

Queen Mother Qi Jiang and her sister had not seen each other for a long time, and now they are talking cordially. She is the most welcome for Luo Cheng to come to Wang Ji.

Because she thinks that Luo Cheng is the real one, much closer than those favored ministers of the current emperor Jinie.

The life of the royal family has been difficult these years. The reform plan that the previous Luohou failed to complete, the Queen Mother Qi Jiang placed her hopes on Luocheng.

"My dear, my sister values ​​you very much. It seems that this trip to Wang Ji will fulfill your long-cherished wish."

Luo Jiang looked at her husband tenderly. She had always known that the men of the Luo family all regarded King Su as their gods and hoped to rejuvenate Bang Zhou.

Now if my sister, who is the queen mother, is willing to give her husband more power, then ZTE Bangzhou must be easier.

As for her husband's ability, she has never doubted. Since the two got married in their teens, nothing has made it difficult to live with him.

Luo Cheng lightly held his wife's hand and laughed softly: "The Queen Mother doesn't care enough. The Son of Heaven is already an adult, and without the name of Regent, the Queen Mother can't do much."

Luo Cheng's eyes fell on the emperor Jinie, he could feel that the emperor, who was no longer a teenager, really didn't like him very much.

The emperor Jinie did not like Luo Cheng. The reason was the same as that of the queen Shen Jiang. Luo Cheng was a defender of the patriarchal law and paid attention to Zhou Li.

He believes that Zhou Li is a bondage to him, and as a monarch, he should be supreme, not the way it is now, and he has to take a lot of consideration into a subject.

Luohou of all dynasties was a great master. When Luo Lin was there, he taught Ji Nie the etiquette and music. Ji Nie was stubborn, so Luo Lin was naturally stricter to him.

Now when he sees Luo Cheng's stern look, he thinks of Luo Linlai, he naturally doesn't like such ministers.

Thinking of this, Gine decided to show off a wave of tricks.

"Luohou, you are the strong branch of the clan with the surname Ji.

From the far east, you came to Haojing to assist the widow. According to the etiquette, the widow should give you the high position of the third prince.

But the second of the three dukes has been given to his grandfather, Duke Qi, and Duke Shen.

Although neither of them are on duty in Wang Ji, how can they be deprived of their public positions?
This is not etiquette. "

Ji Nie opened his mouth, Luo Chengcheng knew what he wanted to do, and was secretly angry, but answered with a warm smile on his face: "Your Majesty, this minister really agrees with what you said, Duke Qi and Duke Shen are your elders, Recognizing them with honorable status is advocated by Zhou Li.

The minister is a great master, and you will surely spread your benevolence among the Ji clan. "

Luo Cheng thought to himself, saying what he said, even if Jinie had some bad thoughts, at least he would calm down.

But he doesn't know that the horror of a fool is that he doesn't understand what you say around the corner.

So when she heard Luo Cheng's words, Ji Nei not only didn't stop, she laughed in her heart that Luo Cheng didn't even know what she wanted to say.
"In the time of King Xuan, Duke Wu Wu was brave in his duties, and all the public officials and nobles praised him as another slaughter after Duke Wen.

After Duke Wu passed away, the widow appointed his eldest son, Guo Shifu, to succeed him as the third Duke.

Guo Shi's father was diligent in political affairs, had a noble character, and did not seek fame and fortune.

How could a widow have the heart to deprive him of his honor?

The Qingshiliiao is full of officials, and none of these officials are enough to match your status.

The widow hopes that you can serve as the chief of the Taishi Liao and hand over the annals of the country to Luohou, so that the widow can rest assured. "

Luo Chengzheng raised his glass for a while, but there was no expression on his face, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

He didn't care that Gine used the official position to suppress himself. It was just a lip service, and it didn't have much impact on what he was going to do next.

But Guo Shifu, a traitorous and perverse person, good at flattery and greedy for profit, is really a big mediocre minister.

Gine even used Duke Luo Wen as a comparison.

This is the ancestor of the Luo clan, second only to the first ancestor, King Su.

Ji Nie himself may not know, because of the existence of Ji Zhao, the Luo family is extremely sensitive to the reputation of their ancestors.

So what he said today is something Luo Cheng cannot tolerate!

The queen mother Qi Jiang and the queen Shen Jiang felt bad when they opened their mouths to tell Duke Luo Wen from Jinie.

They have intermarried with Luo Guo for generations, and they knew very well how much Luo Guo attached importance to their ancestors, and knew that Ji Nie had committed a taboo.

"Good man."

Luo Jiang held Luo Cheng's palm a little worriedly, from the tight flesh on the back of his hand and the violent blue veins, she knew that Luo Cheng would definitely not be able to bear this.

Sure enough, Luo Cheng shook her hand gently, let go and stood up.

As if there was no anger in his heart, he was still the perfect, personable etiquette that no one could pick out the slightest fault, he saluted Jinie: "My lord, the previous king once said, Sages are to be as respectful as they are to their fathers.

The ancestor of the minister, Luo Wengong, was an important minister in the period of King Zhao's rest period. He had made great achievements in his life. King Zhao gave him the posthumous title of 'Wen', after King Su.

If you compare Duke Wu Wu, the minister may not feel happy, but after all, Duke Wu Wu has a great reputation and has made great contributions to the state and Zhou, so the minister will not say more.

But Guo Shi's father is a person who flatters the calamity master, and a person who is a flies and a dog.

The ancestor of the minister is a flawless piece of jade, and the father of Guo Shi is the gravel that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Duke Luo Wen is like the beautiful moon, Guo Shifu is just a shallow water bay in the wild, and it is a blessing from God to have the honor to reflect Duke Wen's shadow.

The ministers are far inferior to their ancestors, Duke Wen, and they are unwilling to live under the blue sky with such people, let alone Duke Wen?

Your Majesty, to compare someone like Guo Shifu to Duke Wen is a humiliation to a hero. Could this be the act of the Holy King?
How holy are your words?

Every sentence will be engraved in the history books, please be careful with your words! "

Although the Queen Mother felt that it was not good, she did not expect Luohou to be so rigid.

She suddenly remembered that the previous Luohou was also like this, as well as the Luohous of all dynasties that she had heard from the story and had never seen before.

Jinie was stunned, he didn't expect Luo Cheng to point at his nose and curse.

Those who flatter the masters of evil, and those who are flies and dogs.

On the surface, this is talking about Father Guo Shi, but in fact it is saying that you are the one who was flattered, and you are still praising him, really laughing out loud.

Holy King?

You are just a fool!
Ji Nie, who had reacted, jumped up from her seat in an instant, pointed at Luo Cheng and said angrily: "Luo Cheng, the widow is the emperor, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Luo Chang stood upright, without fear, and said loudly: "Your Majesty!
The minister is Da Zongzheng with the surname Ji, the minister of the state and Zhou, and it is the minister's responsibility to persuade the emperor and maintain the etiquette of the chief.

Eliminate traitors and help the king, this is the ancestral instruction handed down by King Su.

Do you want to abandon the rules of the ancestors? "

Ji Nie's nose was about to be crooked by Luo Cheng's anger, she pulled out a sharp sword and pointed at Luo Cheng, and roared: "Rampant! Rampant! Do you think the widow dare not kill you?"

On the contrary, Luo Cheng's face calmed down and said, "First Huang Wang killed Duke Ai of Qi, King Xuan killed minister Du Bo by mistake, and then killed Sikong and Zhu Bo.

The king is the son of heaven, so what is there to dare?
Is the king going to kill the minister now?

It seems that the minister will become the first one of the nine generations of Luohou to die in the court of heaven. "

In Luo Cheng's remarks, the fate of King Huang and King Xuan was not very good.

In particular, the matter of Duke Ai made the Queen Mother Qi Jiang feel a little overwhelmed. That was her ancestor.

Not to mention Gine, her face was instantly stagnant.

The queen dowager Qi Jiang hurriedly grabbed Jinie's sleeve and persuaded: "Wang Er, Luohou is an important official of the state and Zhou, so you can't be so rude.

Back then, you were considered unknown by the late king. It was Luo Houlin who pleaded with the late king, so you were not abandoned.

You are both monarchs and ministers who respect each other like guests, and it was only because of Father Guo Shi that there was a dispute.

According to this palace, if Guo Shi's father apologized to Luohou, the monarch and his subjects would be able to reconcile. "

Ji Nei held the sword in his hand and trembled slightly. No matter how stupid he was, but Yin Jian was not far away, he knew that there were a few princes who could not be killed.

In the past, the desolate king cooked and killed Duke Ai of Qi, which caused the feudal lords to feel chills. In the end, he was driven by the feudal feudal lords to Nanshan to fend for himself, but no one came to save him.

King Xuan Zhongxing Zhou, when his prestige was booming, killed the minister Du Bo indiscriminately, and Du Bo's son fled to Jin.

This is the lesson learned from the barren king.

Qi Hou and Jin Hou can't kill indiscriminately, and this is Luo Hou!
Among the Xia kingdoms, Luohou is a special existence, and there are too many miraculous things in this family.

There is even a faint legend that King Su always pays attention to Luo Shi!

To a certain extent, the Luo family represents the destiny of the state and Zhou, and the prestige of the nine generations of Luohou's loyalty to the king is too high.

Today he dared to kill Luo Cheng in the palace, tomorrow the princes will attack him in groups, and King Li and King Huang are his fate.

So, he was cowardly.

At this time, Queen Shen Jiang also came to persuade Ji Nie, and said warmly: "Your Majesty, Luo Hou is also loyal, and the words of anger are all relatives of Ji's surname, so forget it."

He persuaded Ji Nie, but his eyes stared at the gentle Luo Cheng, his eyes full of surprise, "Sure enough, people like Luohou can become the backing of the prince."

This act of Luo Cheng made Queen Shen Jiang value him even more. How many such important ministers can stand up to the emperor?

Luo Ben didn't want to have a conflict with Ji Nei so soon, but the short contact this evening made him disappointed with Ji Nei.

Ji Nee's face was blue and black for a while, she threw down the sword heavily, and left the palace with a cold snort.

As if nothing had happened, Luo Chengcheng calmly bowed to Qi Jiang and Shen Jiang and said, "Empress Dowager, Queen, since the king has left, it is inconvenient for the minister to stay, so I will return to the mansion."

Qi Jiang said apologetically: "Luohou must not care about today's affairs, Wang'er was only temporarily confused by Guo Shifu, this palace believes that with a loyal and capable minister like Luohou, the king will surely become a wise king. "

Luo Cheng bowed again and saluted, "The queen mother trusts the minister so much, it really makes the minister feel ashamed.

The ancestral instruction of the minister is to be loyal to the king. Even if the queen dowager and queen do not say it, the minister will also persuade the emperor a lot. "

"Then please Luohou."

Queen Mother Qi Jiang and Queen Shen Jiang returned their salutes to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng and his wife left the palace.

An unhappy feast...
