Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 699 Zhaocheng Alliance! (6000 words!)

It's too expensive!

This is an evaluation coming from the mouth of Luo's high priest.

Zhen Mi blinked her big, watery eyes, and her eyes were wandering. The high priest touched her head, feeling the familiar feeling, and said warmly: "You will have an excellent and noble husband who will love you dearly. May your life be smooth, peaceful and joyful, and Luo Shen will be with you."

There was a sound of gold and stone in her voice, with a divine solemnity.

Outside Zhao City, Liu Bei followed Yuan and Cao there. Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were no princes to intercept him along the way, there were quite a lot of bandits and bandits. It was really difficult to travel with so few people. Not safe.

Mi Zhen poked her head out of the carriage with her son in her arms, her face full of curiosity. When she was young, she had been to Zhaocheng when she accompanied her brother on a business trip, but this was the first time for her as a member of the Luo family.

Luo Shu and Luo Jin's father and son were in front of the city gate. Liu Bei came forward and the three of them greeted each other. Mi Zhen came forward with his son in his arms. There was tension visible to the naked eye on her pretty and fair face. Luo Shu and Luo Jin announced their homes. From the two of them, A Luo girl walked out from behind, took the child away from Mi Zhen, and said with a smile: "Is this the second brother's child?

Second sister-in-law, my name is Luo Xuan, you can call me A Xuan or Xuan'er. "

When Mi Zhen saw that the people of the Luo clan were just as Luo Qi said, most of her nervousness disappeared, and Fu Li said, "I have met my second uncle. Brother, Xuan'er is fine."

Luo Shu took Liu Bei to visit Luo Zhang and Tang Ji, while Luo Jin and Luo Xuan took Mi Zhen to the courtyard where Luo Qi lived in Zhaocheng.

When the carriage slowly passed through the inner city gate, Mi Zhen truly felt that her current identity was indeed different.

with the passage of time.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Zhang Yan, Liu Yu, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhao Hong, Guan Hai and more than a dozen princes, large and small, came to Zhaocheng.

This is a feast for the historians, and it is also a great opportunity for the princes to observe the hostile forces.

For example, Zhang Yan.

If it were in the history books, it would be recorded that he was Yuan Shao's minister, but today he came to Zhaocheng as an independent, which shows that he is only Yuan Shao's ally, not just a minister, just like those princes and kings with different surnames in the early Han Dynasty. The relationship with Liu Bang is average.

Liu Biao and Luo Chu arrived at Zhaocheng one after another, and then a person who was quite unexpected by Cao Cao appeared here, Yuan Shu!

Cao Cao never expected that Yuan Shu would come or come to Zhaocheng. After all, he had arranged for people to attack Yuan Shu's territory and drag Yuan Shu to Runan. Yuan Shao also did not expect that his stupid brother would come to Zhaocheng.

Yuan Shu arrived on September [-]th, and there were no more princes coming within the scope of Duke Zhao.

September [-]th, accompanied by the ringing of bells.

These heroes and princes of troubled times walked into the palace under the guidance of brave warriors. These people were all figures who would make the entire Xia and barbarians tremble when they stamped their feet.

If these people died together in Zhaocheng, the situation in the entire world would be unpredictable.

After the authority of the central court of the Han Dynasty collapsed, only Duke Zhao could summon these people with the credibility and prestige accumulated over 300 years.

Of course, if you want to command the world, that is just a dream.

At the top of the hall, Luo Zhang and Tang Ji were sitting, and the princes below were sitting in rows. The two great princes like Yuan Cao and Liu were at the front, and the other princes were lined up in order.

Looking at the crowds of people in the palace, Luo Zhang suddenly felt that if he summoned these princes today, he would change something.

The world is materialistic, but tranquility and chaos exist in the human heart.
When people's thoughts are peaceful, the world will be peaceful; when people's thoughts are chaotic, the world will be in chaos.

Many people lack courage in their hearts, but when they come to Zhaocheng today and sit here as equals as the leader of one party, can they still calmly serve as someone else's vassal after they go back?
Is there something called ambition growing in my heart?

It's almost inevitable!
Once what you want changes.

Once the mind starts to get confused, it is unimaginable what these people who have mastered the power will do.

Luo Xiao had already seen this, so he warned the Taiping Army Commander Qu.

The banquet in Zhaocheng was different from that of other nobles. There were no beautiful dancing girls. In this era, many nobles would learn to dance. This was a tradition passed down from the Zhou Dynasty. Women danced for men to express their love.

For example, Wang Wenjun's dance on the snow for Luo Bai is still recorded in historical annals such as Shi Ji to be passed down to future generations.

Zhaocheng often holds banquets, where beautiful women hold each other's hands, sing and dance, but they are not willing to dance for outsiders.

However, although there were no dancing girls, there were men's war dances, singing war songs of ancient states and Zhou Dynasties, and the chilling atmosphere in the hall was like a military drill.

When the war dance came to an end, the exciting music did not stop, but became slightly lower. Luo Zhang raised the wine cup high and said, "Welcome to Zhaocheng, please drink this glass of wine."

After three rounds of drinking, Luo Zhang looked around the crowd and saw that some people were already a little anxious and curious. He said loudly amidst the music: "I guess you all can't wait to know why I invite you here." Purpose.

Before that, I would like to ask you, do you still remember the opening chapter of "The Way of the King"? "

"The Way of Kings"!
In order to teach King Kang the classics written by King Su, during the feudal princes period, all the princes had a copy. In that distant era, whoever did not follow the guiding principles of "The Way of the King" would be deprived of his title and expelled from the country. King Su His sword shocked the princes of the world.

As for the opening chapter of King's Way, who could forget it?
The king's way is not partial, and Xia and Yi are not at odds!
Yuan Shu asked loudly: "Duke.

Thousands of years ago, barbarians ravaged the Xia. When the Xia were in crisis, they were like a thread that could be broken at any time, like an egg that could be broken at any time.

But thousands of years have passed.

After thousands of years of development by successive Zhou emperors and princes and nobles, the barbarians retreated.

In addition, the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty spared no effort to repel the barbarians.

Now all the summers in the four seas are prosperous, like the shining sun.

Those Yi and Di can only hide in the mountains, forests and swamps and eke out a living. Is it necessary to mention the Xia Yi now? "

This was not just the idea of ​​Yuan Shu alone but the idea of ​​all the princes present. In their view, even the barbarians in the north were no match for the Central Plains.

Gongsun Zan rode his white horse, Lu Bu was unparalleled in bravery, Ma Teng and Han Sui both looked proud. Yan State drove the Donghu clan and the newly rising Xianbei to the west. When these barbarians encountered the Xia, they could only run away with their heads in their hands.

Luo Zhang said solemnly: "King Su said that the world is changing all the time, and only change is constant. Isn't this also true for the strength and weakness of Xia Yi?

Yi Di is indeed weak.

However, the Han Dynasty's use of troops in the northwest for hundreds of years had little effect. Every time the border princes received good news, the Hu people in the north became more and more powerful.

When Emperor Ling succeeded to the throne, there were 800 million households in the Han Dynasty. Now, only a few years ago, there are only 700 million households left. It is true that there are some who live in seclusion and those who have fled, but how many of them died directly? ?
How many casualties were there in the last war between the princes?

If the plague that broke out in Guanzhong and the Central Plains was not controlled at the last moment, how many people would die?
If the 700 million households become 200 million or 100 million households, do you still think that the Xia are better than the barbarians? "

The princes suddenly changed their expressions and said with a forced smile: "Your Highness, the world's population is between ten and seventy-eight. Is this too alarmist?"

Luo Zhang said sharply: "Alarmist?

Don’t you know the horror of the plague?
There are [-] households in one county, and within seven days, ten to sixty-seven.

If a family member hadn't happened to be passing by to deal with it, we don't know how much damage it would have caused, and we don't know how many people would have died.

The plague does not care whether you are a noble or a commoner, it will always treat everyone equally.

All the powerful gentry in that county died from the plague. If you are willing to follow in their footsteps, I have nothing to say today.

The Luo family has the best doctors in the world. Even if there is a plague, they can still protect themselves. "

I am afraid that only two people in the world, Luo Zhang and Luo Chuan, dare to point their noses at these princes and curse them.

In today's world, there are many ways to prevent plague, such as burning large piles of corpses and drinking less raw water, which have been popular since the Zhou Dynasty. However, plague is still something that makes people feel uncomfortable.

Voices rang out from the hall, "Please tell me, Grand Duke."

Seeing that everyone was finally paying attention, Luo Zhang looked around and said loudly: "There are rumors in the world that the plague is a punishment sent by heaven. This is a fallacy. The plague is a focus of disease. Since it is a disease, it can be cured.

Nowadays, "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" has been compiled in Zhaocheng, which contains prescriptions for treating various types of wind and cold, as well as measures to prevent wind and cold, plague, etc.

I believe that if one man is short in power but many are strong in power, and a doctor can save lives, this is a matter of immeasurable merit.

How many more lives can a doctor save than ten or a hundred people?

If we sign an agreement together, we will jointly protect those doctors who travel around the world, provide convenience for them, so that doctors can smoothly administer medicine and save people, pass on medical knowledge, and make everyone in the world know the art of survival.

Rescue the dying, heal the wounded, suppress epidemics, keep the injured alive, and repair the vitality of the world.

Even if King Su is observing this meritorious deed from the nine heavens, he will still congratulate us!

I don’t know what you think? "

Protect doctors?
Who doesn’t know that there are many good doctors in Zhaocheng? Just as Zhaogong said just now, the best doctors are all in Zhaocheng.

Seeing the chaos in the world, Duke Zhao wanted to make doctors a neutral role, form a guild, and travel around the world. Many soldiers died directly because they could not receive treatment after being injured.

There was also a continuous war that left no time to deal with the corpses, leading to the outbreak of the plague. If these doctors wanted to deal with the plague, they had to enter the ward, and they would face many risks.

As expected of Luo Shi!
Dare to put the world in danger!

Yuan Cao, Liu and others were all in awe. Yuan Shao and Liu Bei directly clasped their fists and bowed: "How dare you disobey Duke Zhao!" As soon as the two took the lead, the hall suddenly shouted in unison: "How dare you disobey Duke Zhao!"

Luo Xuan, who was listening to the movement in the side hall, suddenly exhaled softly, and the high-pitched chorus made his somewhat confused expression appear panicked and enlightened.

He was born with a talent for medicine and co-edited "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" with Zhang Zhongjing. However, just writing books, he always felt that something was missing. He felt that medicine should be a practical knowledge. Now when he heard his uncle's words, He knew what he had to do.

In the palace, Luo Zhang was not overjoyed to see the princes agree, because it was just an appetizer.

The music in the palace gradually became more divine and ethereal. Luo's music always aroused people's imagination. Faintly, the princes in the palace seemed to see countless majestic gods watching them.

Luo Zhang's voice rang in everyone's ears, "God has good virtues, and the ancient saint kings all had good virtues. Look at those kings who did wrong things.

King Jie of the Xia Dynasty and King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty lost the world.

King Li of the Zhou Dynasty died in the rebellion, King Huang was expelled by the people and died in the mountains, King You was killed by Quanrong and Shenhou, and King Jie was killed by his son.

The violent Emperor of the Han Dynasty was executed by the Jingnan princes, and the Ling Emperor was executed by the Taiping Army. Did any of these virtuous kings, who brought disaster to the country and the people, have a good death?

This is precisely because God hates these kings, so he sent down the decree to kill them.

And not just kings?

Which of the unscrupulous princes and kings of Zhou Dynasty was not given a bad posthumous title and then killed?

The Qin Dynasty originally had a destiny of 400 years, but the monarch of Qin used tyrannical behavior to unify the world and did not know how to repent, so the second generation ended his destiny.

Isn’t this something to be alarmed about? "

Qin Dynasty has 400 years of destiny?

But because he conquered the world tyrannically, the second generation died?

This was the first time that everyone heard about it, and they were all a little surprised and confused for a moment. Luo Zhang was talking nonsense but his face was full of seriousness. No one knew that he was talking nonsense.

Do you understand what the credibility of the Millennium Family is?

Luo Zhang said calmly: "How much King Su cares for the people of Zhuxia. He woke up briefly, and then Luo went to Guanzhong to kill Li Jue and Guo Si. This was King Su's love for Li Jue and Guo Si." It's just too disgusting.

Li Jue and Guo Si ignored the lives of civilians during the war and killed civilians to plunder food and grass.

Trampling on the moral bottom line and propriety and integrity that have been formed for thousands of years, tearing apart the laws of heaven, and making human ethics no longer exist in Guanzhong. This is something that the supreme and holy King Su cannot bear, so Li Jue and Guo Si must die. "

!!!

Everyone in the hall straightened their backs instantly. Once Luo Shi started mentioning King Su, it meant that Luo Shi was serious.

When the Luo family sent brave warriors to Guanzhong to kill Li Jue and Guo Si, most people thought they were going to avenge the Luo family's caravan, but it should be more than that.

Because it was impossible for Luo to fight against two powerful princes just based on suspicion.

Everyone wants to know what the criteria for Luo's action are.

What Luo Zhang is saying now is the reason why Luo took action against Li Jue and Guo Si.

It was not because of Li Jue and Guo Si's brutal rule in Guanzhong, because the Luo family always believed that it was the people's responsibility to resist the brutal rule. Just like the Taiping Army uprising, it was after Zhang Jiao's uprising that Luo Xiao would help.

Only those who dare to resist are entitled to a peaceful and stable life. Those who are resigned and will only wait and rely on others will die in vain due to oppression and exploitation.

What really disgusted Li Jue and Guo Si was that they trampled on many rules. These rules are benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust, etc. These rules may sound false, but in fact they enable people to be human beings instead of animals. They maintain social trust and Social connection stuff.

Luo Zhang sighed slightly: "The spirit of King Su is in the sky, and the king who practices the king's ways will sit on the throne.

If someone massacres a city, can such a person become the co-lord of the princes?
If someone separates the people from each other, can such a person become the king and father of the world?

If someone does not regard the people as human beings, but as cattle and horses, can such a person practice the king's way?
If a king does not behave royally to the people, but insists on cruelty and tyranny, can he bring freedom and stability to the world for a long time? "

There is really too much information contained in Luo Zhang's words, and people can't help but recall that King Zhaosheng once practiced law in Zhaocheng, and stepped into the mud the rule of controlling people's thoughts. The Han Dynasty At that time, the Legalists were completely stripped of their skin and bones.

until now!

The situation in the Later Han Dynasty was not as bad as that at the end of Qin Dynasty and the last years of Emperor Wu, but the people of the world already found it intolerable. They followed Zhang Jiao in the uprising to destroy the Han Dynasty.

As for the nobles of the Han Dynasty, some were loyal to the orthodox emperor, while others were loyal to their own beliefs and allowed them to obey orders unconditionally?

Why?
Cao Cao was sweating after hearing this. He just felt that Luo Zhang was criticizing him every word. He really didn't care much about human life. When he was short of food in Yanzhou, he almost cannibalized people.

However, because Xun Yu knew Luo Shi very well, he always reminded him that even if he starves to death, he must still be a good person.

Once we take the step of cannibalism, humans are no longer humans, but beasts.

Luo Shi will destroy these people who have eaten people at all costs, and will even completely stand against him.

Cao Cao did not waver in the end and forcibly restrained himself, but the price was that many soldiers starved to death.

Liu Bei felt that every word Luo Zhang said was true to his heart, and he couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded: "Goodbye, Duke Zhao!
This is exactly what Bei wanted to say all along. The world is in chaos because there are too many ambitious people who don't care about the world, so the people are in trouble. If the princes in the world have a benevolent heart, even if they fight for years, the number of dead will not exceed [-]. , why did millions of households disappear?

Did Duke Zhao summon us for this matter?
Please speak up and be ready to listen. "

Liu Bei's words inspired the princes in the palace, who were naturally a little dissatisfied with how he showed himself, but Liu Bei was indeed benevolent, which made everyone don't know how to ridicule him.

Luo Zhang nodded at Liu Bei. In his opinion, Liu Bei was really a pity. Although King Su said that there is no destiny in this world, there is a scale in people's hearts. Not to mention Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, it is impossible for Liu Bei to revive the Han Dynasty. Even Luo Zhang Jiangdong occupied by Chu will probably not help Liu Bei revive.

Putting away these thoughts, Luo Zhang looked at the princes who were all staring at him and said loudly: "I have been thinking about how to minimize the losses in the war.

How can we avoid turning people into beasts during a war?

Since the barbaric era when we were growing hair and drinking blood, generations of ancestors and saints in the Xia Dynasty have been teaching us to gradually understand etiquette. If we abandon it easily, wouldn't we be betraying our ancestors?
Since ancient times, there have been ominous rumors about killing prisoners.

But the commander was worried that the captives would rebel, so he had to kill them.

There are also soldiers who have no desire to fight and abandon their armor and surrender, but they have no way out.

I am thinking, why is this?

It was just a letter. There was no mutual trust between the two parties and they were suspicious of each other, which led to such deeds. If we had not made an agreement, neither of the prisoners would be killed after the war.

These matters are certainly complicated and difficult to describe, but we can use this as a basis to negotiate a specific regulation for prisoners. Do you think so? "

Do not kill prisoners?

The princes couldn't help but nodded. No one was willing to kill the captives unless it was absolutely necessary. The main reasons for killing the captives were the lack of food and grass and the fear of betrayal.

Seeing this, Luo Zhang said again: "To massacre the city will harm the peace of heaven, and I think it is not allowed to be done.

Moreover, agriculture is the foundation of the world, and people are the foundation of agriculture. Without people, there would be no agriculture.

When the city was massacred, order was trampled and morality was completely destroyed.

Gentlemen, ask yourselves, those soldiers who dare to commit these grave crimes today and abandon benevolence and righteousness will forget loyalty and filial piety tomorrow. Once the sin takes root in the heart, it cannot be eradicated. You have all such tigers and wolves under your command, how can you sleep peacefully?

Do you think so? "

really!

Someone in the palace had already expected that Luo Zhang would talk about the massacre of the city. After all, one of the most vicious events in the war was the massacre of the city. Almost every major event in hell on earth was reflected in the massacre of the city.

Liu Bei almost laughed when he heard this, probably because he found that he could do what Luo Zhang said, or that he had never done these things before, and now he felt relaxed.

The rest of the princes were a little restless. What Luo Zhang said was to put restraints on everyone and make all princes who aspire to dominate the world abide by these moral bottom lines.

It is not difficult to implement these things, after all, this is what Liu Bei did, but it makes many people feel uncomfortable. After all, these methods are really easy to use, and following them is like tying up your hands and feet.

But looking at Zhao Gong's expression, he was so serious that there was no doubt that if they didn't agree, Luo would definitely take action.

Luo Zhang did not stop, and then documents appeared in the hands of the princes, containing the specific content of what Luo Zhang said.

The princes were silent for a while, agreed in principle with Luo Zhang's idea, and began to debate the specific implementation methods of the terms.

----

The signing of the "Convention of Building An Zhaocheng" is an event worth writing about in ancient Chinese history. It was led by Luo Zhang, Duke of Zhao, and all the major princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty stamped their seals on the treaty.

This is the first legal treaty in the world that restricts the behavioral rules of hostile parties in a state of war. It effectively protects the inevitable war's damage to the moral bottom line and social economy. It contains the simple humanitarian spirit of the ancient Chinese people. This It is our country’s immortal contribution to world civilization. ——"History·Eighth Grade Volume [-]·Royal Press"
