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

Chapter 863 Zhu Luo!

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan changed the prefecture and county system that was briefly restored during the Yang Guang period to the state and county system again. The whole country followed suit and abandoned the prefecture and county system of Yang Guang's period.

Gusu County became Suzhou again.

The world was in chaos. Yang Guang died in Yangzhou. On Huaisi, a group of rebels fought. The winner was a hero named Du Fuwei. In Jiangnan, Zefu Gongyou and Luo Jing became the two heroes. In Jingchu In the old place, the Xiao family took advantage of the situation and rose up.

There are seventy-two paths of smoke and dust in the world, which shows the chaos.

Suzhou is located in the old land of Wu and Chu. Even in this period, it still has a painting style of Xiaoxiao and rain breaks, and there has never been a cold and solemn war.

Dots of lakes, alleys that wind a thousand times, gurgling streams crossing bridges, and women with Wu Nong’s soft words.

White walls and black tiles, ancient alleys in black clothes, in front of the Luo family hall, swallows peck at the new mud.

Luo Jingcheng and Luo Xuanjing were sitting in the hall. Luo Xuanjing was pregnant. There was a letter on the table in front of them. It was sent by Luo Xuanye. It talked about the current general trend of the Tang Dynasty. With the intention of conquering the world, Li Shimin was a talented person who asked Luo Xuanjing and Luo Jingcheng to go to Chang'an to help him write letters and achieve great things together.

There was hesitation on Luo Jingcheng's face, and he asked hesitantly: "Madam, fifth brother's letter, I remember you also said that the Taiyuan young master is indeed an outstanding person, otherwise we will go back north after I have settled down at home. Tang?"

The fifth brother married Princess Pingyang and was the consort of the Tang Emperor. He was also a life-and-death friend of the King of Qin, Li Shimin. He was granted the title of Duke of Zhou of the first rank, with a settlement of 3,000 households. He was awarded the title of Zhu Guo of the second rank, and was worshiped as the General of the Twelve Guards. General Zuo Xiaowei, the third-ranking official, became the general manager when he came out, and became the master of the palace when he entered.

Luo Jingcheng thought Luo Xuanjing would analyze the truth, but he didn't expect it to be so realistic. He pondered for a while and had some thoughts in his mind, but decided not to say anything and let Luo Xuanjing speak.

What does it mean?

This is a change to the stigma rules!

The situation of our children having stigmata and our grandchildren not having stigmata may change. "

He asked anxiously: "Madam, weren't these rules of stigmata set by Patriarch Su Wang?"

The old Luo family's routine was abandoned by Wen Gong Ancestor.

"King Qin!"

Since they were alone, they naturally wanted to go to the most promising force.

The one who can conquer the world in the future is either Guanzhong or the Central Plains. Luo Xuanye is in Li Tang, which is quite attractive to them.

Among them, Ancestor Wen Gong is the most special. Especially in this reincarnation, he possesses power that we cannot imagine.

Luo Xuanjing looked at Luo Jingcheng in surprise and said: "Husband, you are not serious in your studies. The stigmata was not there from the beginning. The ancestor of Mr. Wen did not have the stigmata in his previous life.

The elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty followed behind him. Luo Xuanye, wearing bright armor, followed Li Shimin. His left hand was still always on his waist. It only took him a moment to draw the sword out of its sheath.

Luo Jingcheng was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew this, but wasn't Luo Xuanye his wife's fifth brother?

Luo Xuanjing patted him lightly and said with a smile: "Don't be stunned.

In today's troubled times, every leader in the world must gain merit on the battlefield. What's the use of such a mission?

And among all the elders in the family, three people are special, Ancestor Wen Gong, Ancestor Luo Shen, and Ancestor Zhao Sheng Wang.

The ancestor did not come to the world simply to assist Jackie Chan in the new dynasty. He has too many things to do. Everything must be in line with his plan, including the family and us. We must arrange the ancestor's plan. When it comes to doing things, the freedom that we, the Xuan generation, had in the past is gone forever.

Moreover, the ancestors said that in order to cooperate with the family's future integration plan, the scope of direct lineage should be expanded and the marriage system within the family should be reformed.

No matter how good Li Shimin is, he is not Li Tang's helmsman after all, and he often charges into battle, so he might accidentally die on the battlefield in the end. Between Li Tang and Zhao, there is really no telling who will win in the end.

This is what Luo Su said to all the direct descendants of the Luo family in Winter City, so the children of the Luo family who appear this time will be so different.

Luo Jing was stunned. He understood the previous words, but these last few sentences?

The Luo clansmen who followed Luo Xuanxing into the Central Plains have already left the army, and two of them went to Guanzhong. For the Luo clansmen, there is no problem with their basic judgment.

Luo Su did not interfere in the choice of these heirs.

After traveling around the world for so many years, he has only seen true kings in Dou Jiande and Li Shimin.

Hebei Dou Jiande was also highly regarded, especially Hebei under his rule, which governed with benevolence and virtue. The ancestors also spoke highly of Dou Jiande, which made several Luo family members very attracted.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xuanjing shook his head without hesitation, then smiled and said: "You can't submit, at least you can't submit at this time.

Our ancestors have said that we, the children of the Luo family, should help each other and work hard to climb up in the new dynasty, get more titles, and get more positions of real power.

They are not like Luo Jingcheng and Luo Xuanjing, they have a big family and a big business, and they are the big families in Jiangnan.

……

I will write the reply to the fifth brother. Husband, please prepare to contact the scholars in Jiangnan. Those ambitious people are not willing to join me in the Luo family, but there are always people who only want to keep the peace of one family and one name. "

"The affairs of the world depend on the emperor and the Luo family. When the emperor is new, the world will be new. When Luo family is new, the world will be new. Transforming the Luo family is the first step to revolutionizing the world."

But it didn't say how to help each other. Fifth Brother is inside and we are outside, which is just right.

In Luo Jingcheng's mind, he still had the rules of the past Central Plains dynasty, which were the rules that the old Luo family had run for sixteen hundred years.

Husband, work hard and show your value with courage and wisdom in the new order.

When Li Shimin, who had returned victoriously, arrived at Chang'an City, the people of Chang'an, who already knew the outcome of the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, stood on both sides of the straight road to welcome the triumphant army.

"King Qin!"

To him, we are different from Fifth Brother.

We sit on the left side of the Yangtze River and explore the south of the Yangtze River. If we can achieve the power of the Wu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the country surrenders at that time, how can we calm the hearts of the people of the left side of the Yangtze River if he does not grant a hereditary position of guarding the county king. "

……

Husband, you have the ability to lead an army, but you are not strong enough and far inferior to the fifth brother. The most he can do is give you a job like Guang Luxun and Yushi Dafu.

Among the relatives of Tang Guozong, his status is second only to the Emperor of Tang, the Prince, and the King of Qin, and on an equal footing with the King of Qi and the King of Chu. With such a status and trust, of course he will devote himself to the Tang State, but what can we gain by surrendering to the Tang State? "

Luo Xuanjing said seriously: "We are going to the Tang Kingdom now. In order to appease Jiangnan in the future, the Emperor of Tang is very likely to grant his husband a dukedom. His ancestors have long said that he is nepotistic.

Then who can help him in the future depends on who can win when they meet on a narrow road.

This was the first time Li Shimin felt such direct feedback and praise from him.

This time it is not the victory of the Tang Dynasty, but the victory of Li Shimin, King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty!

His face was full of excitement. He liked the feeling of military victory and triumph. He couldn't help but tighten the reins in his hands. Bai Tiwu seemed to feel his emotions and slowed down his pace.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Li Yuan's joy. He made no secret of his love for Li Shimin. Such a son who can charge into battle and has superb archery skills is Li Yuan's pride.

He patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, laughed at the ministers, and recalled with emotion, "I recall that when I asked to marry Empress Taimu, I used two arrows to hit the eyes of the peacock on the screen.

Now King Qin’s archery skills have been passed down from me personally!

If it were not for King Qin, what heavy losses would the Tang Dynasty suffer in this battle? "

The subsequent rewards, as well as the rewards and punishments of Liu Wenjing and others, were temporarily suppressed. Now Li Yuan only wanted to promote Li Shimin. Through this incident, Li Shimin gradually embarked on the road of becoming the military commander of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan himself was unwilling to go out to fight. After he thought that he was a noble relative, how could he go out to fight like the previous monarchs? Especially since Liu Bang spent his whole life fighting, that was something he absolutely wanted to avoid.

Prince Li Jiancheng is the foundation of the country. War is too dangerous. It would be bad if something unexpected happens.

Since he was both trustworthy and capable, the matter of life and death for the Tang Dynasty was still left to his remaining son.

For the battle to quell the Western Qin Dynasty, Li Yuan's reward to Li Shimin was Yizhou Daoxingtai Shangshu Ling and General Youwei, who had the power to mobilize the government troops.

……

After the celebration banquet in the palace, Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning returned to Princess Pingyang's mansion. On the carriage, Li Xiuning pushed aside the clothes on his chest and rolled up his wide sleeves, revealing scars everywhere.

"Does it still hurt?"

With distress on her face, Luo Xuanye smiled casually and said: "It doesn't hurt. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and injuries are normal. Didn't my father give me a thousand households of food?"

Worth it! "

Li Xiuning frowned slightly. There was only a thousand households in the city. She was a little unhappy and said: "This time you return to Beijing, we will have a few more children to prevent you from fighting and something really happens, and to prevent you from working hard to win the title." The inheritance is lost.”

Li Xiuning wanted to save seeds for Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanye said with a smile: "Isn't there Rou'er?

Just pass the title of Duke Zhou to her. "

Li Xiuning said: "She will naturally have the title of princess in the future. Even if I work hard, the title of Princess Pingyang can be passed on to her like a prince. Your title of Duke of the country will still have to be passed on to other children.

how?

You don't want to touch me? "

Luo Xuanye immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Madam, spare me, I'll shut up and give birth to the child when I get back.

Princess Qin will entertain us at a banquet at Prince Qin’s Mansion tomorrow, and we will return home soon. "

Li Xiuning was lying on Luo Xuanye's chest again, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her mind.

……

The next day.

Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning went to Prince Qin's mansion together, and Prince Qin and his wife greeted them at the door.

The two of them were dressed in casual clothes, and Li Shimin was still looking impressive. He was very proud of himself when he returned to Chang'an this time. It can be seen from the full spirit that filled his body that he was now in his prime.

Changsun stood quietly beside him. Luo Xuanye's evaluation of this woman was that she was as gentle as water, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, extremely quiet. A beautiful and extremely charming woman, she was Li Shimin's best wife. , can help Li Shimin achieve his great cause, so he respects the Changsun family very much.

After Luo Xuanye got off the carriage, he saluted and said, "I have met King Qin and Princess Qin."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Today is a family banquet, so there is no need to be so formal."

Mrs. Changsun said warmly: "Sister, brother-in-law, please come inside, the food and wine have been prepared in the house."

A group of people walked into the mansion, and there was already a person in the hall, Changsun Wuji, the elder brother of the Changsun family, and also the most trusted civil servant of Li Shimin in the Qin Palace.

Today is indeed a family banquet, and Li Shimin's trusted civil servants such as Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are not here.

"Wei Chen Wuji has seen the princess, Princess Wan'an, and the Zhou Guo Public Security Bureau." Changsun Wuji is a bit arrogant, but it depends on who he treats. Of the four people in front of him, it is obvious that none of him can be arrogant. .

Although Luo Xuanye and Changsun Wuji were both from Li Shimin, they were now in the Wude Dynasty. Luo Xuanye and Changsun Wuji were competing for status to give Changsun Wuji face.

Even if he has a better relationship with Luo Xuanye than with Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji dare not say that he can beat Luo Xuanye.

After the five people sat down, the wet nurse took away Li Chengqian, who was less than one year old, leaving only five people drinking. Li Shimin sipped the wine and sighed: "It has been two years since the Tang Dynasty started its army. Now, it can be considered that he has made real achievements. In Is it possible for the ministers not to be inspired by the prince?"

His emotion was quite revealing. You can imagine how long this matter has been held in his heart. Luo Xuanye responded: "The real dragon travels above the nine heavens. Even if there are more clouds and mist, it can still hide its traces. King Qin has great power." , will always be revealed. When the country is first established, the world is in chaos, and there will be countless times of meritorious service in the future."

As soon as Luo Xuanye spoke, Li Shimin was happy, because he knew that Luo Xuanye would not tell lies, he would not flatter him, and he would not judge his words. If he praised himself and respected himself, then he was really good. This How to make him unhappy?

Li Shimin immediately raised his glass and said: "Without Qingyang, I would not have succeeded in this battle. Qingyang, you have done the most great work in this battle.

After Liangzhou is recaptured, my father already has plans to send troops to the eastern capital. I may still be the marching marshal by then. Then if we go into battle together, whether it is Wang Shichong or Li Mi, we will definitely be able to defeat them successfully. "

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuning simply said: "You have just come off the battlefield and your bodies have not recovered yet. Don't drink too much."

Li Xiuning's words were quite intimidating, and even Li Shimin obeyed them. The two only took a sip and started chatting, mostly about the current situation in Guandong. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the next focus of Li Tang was to Exiting from the east reproduces the history of the Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties when they came out of the pass and settled the world.

Li Xiuning is the internal history officer, a third-ranking official. This position is the same as the prime minister, the left servant, the minister, and the minister. Naturally, she knows the most clearly about military and state affairs. She introduced to several people: "Now Wang Shichong and Li Mi Dou Not open to trade.

However, there was civil strife in Wagang Village and Li Mi killed Zhai Rang. Now Wagang Village has begun to split. Wang Shichong had the opportunity and defeated Li Mi several times. Many of Li Mi's fierce generals defected to Wang Shichong.

However, Wang Shichong is too suspicious, and as he gains the upper hand in the competition with Li Mi, I think it will be difficult for him to stay strong for a long time.

Many generals under Li Mi have left, and their generals are alienated from their moral integrity. The day of defeat is not far away. Whoever rises and who loses between these two people will not become a threat to our Tang Dynasty.

The biggest threat to our Tang Dynasty is Dou Jiande of Hebei Province. Nowadays, not only ordinary people in Hebei Province are obedient, but the noble families of Hebei Province also support Dou Jiande. It is said that a son of the Luo family has also appeared in Dou Jiande's house. He has many elite soldiers and clear politics.

In Hebei, some people have already ranked him alongside Yuan Benchu ​​and called him the God of Hebei.

My family is from Guanlong, and you all know that Hebei has always been dissatisfied with me in Guanlong. Dou Jiande is a local, which adds another boost to him.

A very formidable opponent! "

Li Shimin frowned deeply when he heard this. He was even tied with Yuan Benchu. The degree of popularity was a bit too scary. Moreover, a son of the Luo family became an official?

Several people looked at him, and Luo Xuanye said in a deep voice: "I have met Dou Jiande. He said back then that he would rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, and his ancestors admired him very much.

If what Madam just said is true, and he really governs Hebei with benevolence and virtue, then it is very possible for my brothers to become officials.

The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.

The criteria for choosing a prince among the descendants of the Luo family are benevolence and love for the people. "

Li Shimin frowned and asked: "Qingyang, what can your brothers and the other Luo family members do?"

Luo Xuanye recalled: "Among our generation, the most talented one is my third brother, named Luo Xuanxing, who is the son of the Luo family who led the Luo family's daredevils southward and eventually killed Yang Guang.

He is not my father's son, but my cousin, and he is also the next-generation head of my Luo family.

Among Luo's generation of warriors who are invincible on the battlefield and are invincible in horse, foot and foot combat, I am the strongest.

The other brothers are all fierce generals. They have basically developed a strong physique during the years in the White Mountains and Black Waters, but they are not as good as me.

In terms of politics, my sister Luo Xuanjing is very good, but the level of the other brothers is because I'm not good at it, so I can't judge accurately, but it's definitely not bad. "

Li Shimin felt his head start to hurt, because Luo Xuanye said that he was not good at it, but he didn't think that Luo Xuanye was not good at it. Luo Xuanye just didn't have the quick wit in this area, and he couldn't really execute it.

Luo Xuanye is knowledgeable, and can ask questions and advise. Luo Xuanye thinks this is not good at it, so what does it look like to be good at it?

Li Shimin rubbed his head and asked: "Qingyang, maybe you can invite your brothers to our Datang?

I, the Tang Dynasty, are thirsty for talents, so I should treat them with high positions! "

Luo Xuanye didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that I had already written a letter, but his ancestors had commented that Li Yuan was not good, and the brothers would probably look down on him.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Father's prestige has not yet been broadcast to all directions, so my brothers don't know about the Tang Dynasty yet. When I go back, I will write to them to declare for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin actually understood it!

This was probably due to some words Luosu once said in front of him, which he still remembered.

Li Shimin knew in his heart that Luo Su looked down on his father. He married Li because he liked his sister and taught him and his eldest brother because he valued himself and his eldest brother. He stopped asking and did not seek trouble for himself.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was a little solemn, Changsun explained: "Miss Xuanjing is guarding herself in the south of the Yangtze River, and Young Master Xuanxing has never entered her family. Now that the Tang Dynasty has a brother-in-law, isn't it the essence of the Luo family? In my country, this is a blessing. Ah, let’s have a glass of wine.”

Her light joke immediately changed the atmosphere on the table.

Li Xiuning added: "Li Gui of Xiliang has recently proclaimed himself emperor. My father originally wanted to attack, but because he had just finished fighting Xue Ju, he could only wait until the grain and grass harvest this season in Sichuan. I'm afraid you, Erlang, will have to go to war again." .

Li Gui is nothing to be afraid of. He originally wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, especially after the Tang Dynasty defeated Xue Ju, but he was persuaded by his ministers to proclaim himself emperor.

What needs to be careful is that the Western Turks are ready to move eastward into the Central Plains. If Li Gui and the Western Turks merge, a powerful opponent will appear in the west.

We can only hold on to Longshan and prevent them from entering Guanzhong, but Hexi will be temporarily difficult to peep. "

Western Turks.

This force is different from the Winter Turks. The Winter Turks are traditional steppe barbarians who have been at odds with the Central Plains. Now Liu Wuzhou is still flirting with the Turks, but the Western Turks are different.

They have entered the Western Regions long ago and are completely different from the Winter Turks. Religiously, they have now converted.

Those Turks who once wielded sabers have become "Western Turks". They used to use sabers to rob things, but now they rob things for King Su's belief.

This makes the Western Turks very difficult to deal with.

Li Shimin had already begun to simulate how he would deal with Li Gui and the Western Turks in the future, unconsciously paddling those mountains, rivers and cities.

……

When Luo Xuanye and others were talking about the Western Turks, a big debate broke out in the Western Turk court. This was a debate about whether to attack to the west, to the east, or to go back north to fight the Winter Turks.

There are naturally three groups of people who hold these three theories.

Needless to say, those who called for heading east to the Central Plains were the Han people from the Western Regions. "King Gaisu was born in the Central Plains. Although there is a temple for King Su in our Western Regions, the tomb of King Su is located in Tianfu in Guanzhong. We do not pay homage to the final resting place of King Su. How can we say that we have obtained the true spirit of King Su?

Go east and capture Chang'an, where you pray to King Su to grant you fame and let the high priest of the temple crown you. That is the supreme khan, the khan among khans. "

At the end of this sentence, the Liu Han Chinese who spoke out used the word "Khan" in Turkic language to stimulate the monarch on the throne.

Sure enough, this trick worked very well, and Ashnasai's eyes instantly lit up. He was obsessed with the classics of Suwang Temple, so obsessed that the temple was now almost made of gold and precious stones.

Upon seeing this scene, some nobles who had just escaped from the Winter Turks immediately became unwilling and shouted in Turkic language: "Great Khan, we are the descendants of Changshengtian and sons of the grassland. We should defeat him." The Winter Turks dominated the grasslands and then entered the Central Plains. Now that they have entered the Central Plains, they will only call us barbarians.

The monarch of Liang State has already replied to the letter we sent to Liangzhou a few days ago. He called you a barbarian and said he would not surrender to you. "

Ashnasei became furious. He stood up from the throne, his cloak covered with gold and gems jingling, and he shouted something that no one expected.

"He is the barbarian! He, the son of a bitch, is the barbarian!"

After scolding him quite angrily, Ashnasai shouted again: "This Khan is the holy Khan who was personally crowned by the high priest of Suwang Temple, the King of Kings!

hateful!

Ben Khan will go to the temple to curse him and pray to King Su. If King Su becomes angry, Ben Khan will mobilize all the people of the Khanate to let Li Gui know what the wrath of a king is! "

The last group was dumbfounded. They hadn't spoken yet, so why did Khan want to attack eastward? These grassland people were really useless. They failed more than succeeded, so they were finished now.

Ashnasai hates people calling him a barbarian. Judging from his appearance, he no longer looks like a barbarian.

His grandfather was of mixed Hu and Han descent, and his grandmother and mother were both of the Han clans in the Western Regions, the Liu family and the Zhao family.

He only has one-eighth of Turkic blood in his body, and coupled with the education he received since he was a child, his mother took him to worship in the temple when he was young. This made it difficult for him to bear being called a barbarian.

The Western Regions are completely different from the Central Plains. People in the Central Plains do not realize this. Many things that are not a big deal in the Central Plains can be life-threatening in the Western Regions.

The most terrible thing is probably to slander King Su. There are many people in the Central Plains who do not believe in King Su, and many people even openly question it, just like scolding God for being a thief. But in the Western Regions, this is against the law and is a capital punishment. Those who do not understand these cannot rule the Western Regions.

Li Gui of Xiliang Kingdom would never have imagined that he would attract an attack from the Western Turks just by getting high.

If he knew, he would definitely say, "The royal court is three thousand miles away from Liangzhou, so why are you crazy to come to attack Liangzhou?"

Ashnasai was already preparing to drive the cattle and sheep away, and he would soon let Li Gui know the consequences of insulting the fanatic believers.

……

After leaving Prince Qin's Mansion, Luo Xuanye breathed out the smell of alcohol. He calculated the time and it was almost time for the letters he sent to his brothers to come to fruition.

Although Li Xiuning is a very enterprising woman, she does not know how to take care of others. She stretched out her hand to rub Luo Xuanye's temples to relieve Luo Xuanye's fatigue.

After the two returned to the mansion, they carried out some activities to create a baby. Li Xiuning thought that Luo Xuanye might be going on an expedition soon, so he worked hard to get pregnant during his return.

Li Xiuning hoped that she could have more children with stigmata, which was what Luo Su had hinted to her at the beginning.

Luo Xuanye's prediction was not wrong. When it came time to reply to the letters he sent, the first one to arrive was Luo Xuanjing's letter. Sending letters from Jiangnan to Guanzhong can be carried by water, which is very fast.

In the letter, Luo Xuanjing seriously described the current situation and the reasons why he and Luo Jingcheng could not go to Guanzhong.

This made Luo Xuanye feel a little emotional, but he agreed with Luo Xuanjing's statement.

Although he regretted not being able to see his sister and brother-in-law, he still burned the letter after reading it.

It is better not to spread these reasons. After all, in the future, we will still submit to the Tang Dynasty. This kind of double-mindedness should not be exposed.

But what surprised him was that just after he burned the letter, his retainers hurried to the house and reported to him: "Young Master, the Fourth Young Master and the Sixth Young Master are outside the house."

"what?!"

Luo Xuanye was surprised and delighted, "Quick, please come in!"
