Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 279

The next day.

An edict came out from the palace, "I have never heard of a person who can live in peace without repaying kindness.

I have never heard of a monarch whose virtue is not enough to preserve his country.

I have never heard of a country that can prosper without asking for talented people.

I have never heard of a person who appointed a trusted person and suffered a betrayal.

Young Master Xin has the grace of life to me and the emperor, so I should bestow gold, silver and fine jade on him.

He is a talented person, I should grant him a high position, give him the guards in the palace and the guards of Chang'an, let him wear armor, hold a sharp sword, and stand beside the emperor as a wing guard , so it must be safe. "

The maids and eunuchs of the brigade never came out of the central palace. Such a grand occasion, especially this edict, made the dignitaries in Chang'an City look sideways.

Let Luo Xin go to the palace with armor and a sharp sword, what kind of trust is this, Luo Yi is considered Liu Bang's most confidant minister, and he has not received such treatment.

Only Zhao Gong, the god of the world, has such an honor, but he doesn't know what to say other than envy.

Moreover, Luoxin was supposed to be a Marquis back then, but because of the too close relationship with Empress Lu, the credit was swallowed directly, and he left Chang'an City for so many years. Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, he suddenly became prominent. This is a natural reason.

Luo Xin sat quietly in the mansion, turning a blind eye to the people coming and going in front of him, just reading the book in his hand seriously.

When it came time to go to court, Luo Xin put on his armor, held a sharp knife in his hand, and walked towards the palace. All the dignitaries along the way looked at the big and round warriors beside Luo Xin, and their hearts trembled.

Luo Xin is not an upstart who suddenly rises up, but a strong man with huge support. In this city of Chang'an, there are not many people who can be taken seriously by him.

As Luo Xin stood next to Liu Ying with a sharp sword in his hand, everyone immediately felt the trust of the royal family that Luo Xin had obtained.

To some extent, this is putting his wealth and life in Luo Xin's hands.

Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others have already realized that this is a court meeting held by the empress dowager to make an appearance for Luo Xin, and it is not discussing any state affairs at all.

So they kept their eyes on their noses, their ears on their hearts, and acted as clay sculptures without saying a word, while Luo Xin looked at the group of founders of the country, as well as the envoys of various kingdoms above the main hall.

Lu Zhi found that the officials had no objection to her replacing Liu Ying in charge of the court, which made her feel relieved. After the court was over, Luo Xin followed Lu Zhi directly to Weiyang Palace.

Lu Zhi and Luo Xin sat down, poured wine for them, and said with joy: "Sir, as you expected, the officials did not object."

Luo Xin's face did not completely relax, "E Ji, you can't take it lightly now, the ministers probably think that you want to listen to the government behind the curtain, and they don't know that you want a complete regency.

In the history of Bangzhou, the queen dowager who is the real regent is extremely rare. The first one is the queen dowager Qi Jiang in the period of the ancestor Wengong. "

Luo Xin said with a smile: "If it was in the Bang Zhou period, even if you were the Queen Mother, you could only leave the name of Qi Jiang, unlike now that you can keep your name and surname."

Listening to the government behind the curtain is different from being a regent. There may be little difference in power for powerful people, but in fact they are completely different.

When Ji Zhao was regent back then, even the beginning of the imperial edict was "Regent Zhao on behalf of the king", and the edict was not issued in the name of King Kang, but in the name of Ji Zhao.

Since then, the term regency has taken on a different meaning.

How much power does the Regent have?
Basically, it is equivalent to the Son of Heaven. When the Regent exists, the Emperor's edict is not more effective than the Regent, and the Son of Heaven is not qualified to abolish the Regent on his own initiative.

This is why Duke Luo Wen had to get the name of regent back then. Since then, all the edicts can use the name of "regent council acting on behalf of the king" at the beginning, and the power is completely in his hands.

Even if someone is dissatisfied with him, they can't open their mouths at all. Even trying to drive a wedge between the emperor and Lord Luo Wen is useless, because if the emperor wants to abolish the regent, the regent can even say, "Why did your majesty rebel?"

When Lu Zhi heard the words, a chill suddenly burst out in his eyes, Luo Xin thought of what he said when he talked with his elder brother before, and said softly: "It's not that far yet, Ejin, prepare to make me a Marquis, in the name of the Queen Mother Regent. "

In the name of the regent, the number of people who oppose Luoxin will definitely decrease. Since there is no objection to this matter, then naturally there is no objection to the matter of the regent.

With Lu Zhi's current level of political struggle, he can naturally understand the mystery of it, and said softly: "The position of Xiangguo, who is better than you?"

Xiangguo is a relatively outdated name. The system of left and right prime ministers divides the power of prime ministers. Now Lu Zhi wants to restore this system and let Luo Xin take over.

The two discussed the matter of the reward after some more discussions. Lu Zhi kept a little care in his heart and didn't show it, thinking of giving Luo Xin a surprise.

From Liu Bang's death to Luoxin's return to Chang'an City, there has been an undercurrent. In the Bangzhou era, there was a saying that one emperor and one courtier.

These words are mainly used to describe that after the new emperor takes office, his relatives will occupy the position of important affairs officials in Wang Jinei. Of course, there is a second half of this sentence.

After Liu Ying came to power, the group of founding heroes who had stood on Liu Ying's side suddenly changed from allies with the same stand to political enemies who wanted to fight for power and profit, commonly known as factional struggles.

At present, it is naturally Lu Ze's relatives who occupy the absolute advantage. They belong to the Diaoyutai, and with Liu Ying around, they can at least be prosperous for decades.

But other people are different. The Sangongjiuqing, as well as the positions of real power in the various armies, are the focus of their competition. This is human nature. Even knowing that they will die in the end, they still have to go forward and do it one after another.

Even if the Luo family faced these people, they would eventually give in before Ji Zhao became a god. After all, the family background is limited and people's selfish desires are unlimited.

A decree that shocked the entire Han Dynasty was issued from the palace.

"Regent Queen Dowager System:
It is an unchanging iron law that those who have no merits are not allowed to be named Chehou. It is a great mistake not to be named Chehou if they have meritorious service. There are five thousand households in Shiyi. "

Although the number of households in Shiyi is high, after all, there are still tens of thousands of households on it. Although everyone knows that this is not the apex of Luoxin, it is not enough to be shocked.

What was really shocking was that the empress dowager's previous word "regent" was issued in the name of Liu Ying last time, but this time it was issued directly in the name of the empress dowager.

What does this mean?
No one thinks that Lu Zhi is going to usurp the throne, what they think more is that Lu Zhi seems not satisfied with being a transitional character.

She has to do things, plus Luo Xin, the regent queen mother plus a minister, this kind of Luo Wengong's sense of sight is too strong.

Moreover, Luoxin's fief is Dong'e County.

That was Lu's hometown. Before fleeing to Pei County, Lu Zhi lived there, and now she has sealed her hometown to Luoxin!

Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others who were capable of opposing were silent, and even the kings of the Liu family didn't say anything. This was not particularly unacceptable in the first place.

At least the emperor is still Liu Ying, and Lu Zhi has no other sons.

The kings still secretly thought about making Lu Zhi go too far.

In this weird atmosphere, Luo Xin's appointment as Marquis went through smoothly.

Luo Xin, who was successfully sealed as a Marquis, was not happy, "Ejin, it's not necessarily a good thing if no one objects. A great plan to recuperate."

It was another court meeting, and the mood of the officials became a little different. Liu Bang has been fighting abroad for these years. Although Luo Yi and Xiao He are the ones who rule the world, the empress Lu Zhi also contributed a lot.

But the backbone of everyone is Liu Bang after all. Now that Lu Zhi has clearly stated that she is going to rule the world now, everyone's mood is really complicated.

Lu Zhi put on the most complicated and gorgeous robes, and the courtiers filed in.

"The Empress Dowager Regent, long live the future, may you be safe!"

"Safety, my lords!"

The officials praised Lu Zhi, and slowly accepted that the new era had really arrived. As for Liu Bang, he probably praised him in his heart.

"Dong Ahou, you have great talent, and you are a noble, your current position is not enough to match your talent and character.

Your elder brother Yinghou also served as prime minister, and you have talents that are not inferior to Yinghou.

With your assistance, His Majesty will definitely be able to create a rule of three generations.

What do you think, Your Majesty? "

Turning her head to look at Liu Ying, Liu Ying quickly said: "What you said, queen mother, is right. Dong Ahou is kind to the child, and his talents and morals are all top-notch. Except for the position of prime minister, the child can't find anyone who can match Dong A. Hou's position."

Liu Ying doesn't like to fight, and Luo Xin loves him very much, teaches him how to be an emperor, and treats him with great kindness, so he has a kind of admiration for Luo Xin.

After Luo Yi, Luo Xin also became the prime minister. The Han Dynasty was only 13 years old, and the Luo family had two prime ministers!
This kind of scene can't help but remind the group of officials that the Luo family was once in Bangzhou, three princes and three regents recorded in the classics of various schools of thought!

Since the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Luo family has shown so many miraculous things that the officials almost regarded the Luo family as a family of alchemists.

This was the first time that the ministers felt how terrifying the Luo family was as a political family!
The change of dynasties, only Luo Shi Yongzun!
----

The filial piety is weak, Empress Lu came to the court and proclaimed the system, and the officials were pleased with it, Xin said: "The empress dowager has made great achievements and virtues, please be the regent."

Empress Lu said: "What do you mean?"

Empress Lu has always had a virtuous name, and all the officials respected her, and they were happy to be honored. They all bowed their heads and listened to each other, saying: "The Empress Dowager and the late emperor jointly ruled the world, so it should be like this."

Empress Lv is the regent, and said: "The new meritorious service is high, and it is appropriate to seal it as Marquis Che, who feeds five thousand households, and is the master of Dong'a."

Dong'e, the homeland of Lu's ancestral hall, was envied by the people of the time, and the new ones also cried, saying: "The letter from the Lord is as important as this, what can I ask for?" —— "Historical Records Dong'ahou Family"
