Chapter 396

Zhaocheng, Luo Palace.

Luo Wuji and Luo Jinxiu were standing in the courtyard.

Although Luo Wuji is only fifteen or sixteen years old, his stature is already extremely high, he has perfectly inherited Luo Zhongkan's martial strength, and even surpassed it. From his stature, he is already a complete adult, but from the outside, he is still He is a young man with high spirits. There is a hint of childishness in his pupils and on his face. His eyes are very bright, like a lamp in the dark night. Sharp sword, this sword was a gift from Luo Ling to him, it was one of the precious swords made by the Luo family, it used the best technology, it could be said to cut iron like mud.

Standing next to Luo Wuji, Luo Jinxiu looked much smaller, the top of her head only reached the position of Luo Wuji's chin, but in fact, her stature was already extremely high among women.

She was wearing a crimson skirt usually worn by women from the Luo family. On the cuffs, necklines and corners of the skirt, there were embroidered gold threads and the phoenix logo that Luo's sons would never miss.

Luo Jinxiu is a few years older than Luo Wujiu. She has never seen half of the blemishes on her clean face. Her skin is fair, and the sun shines on it without makeup. Wuji's heroic appearance is different, his temperament is as gentle as water, from the hair slightly hanging between the temples to the brows and lips, it is the gentleness of the Jiangnan Water Village.

Surrounded by guards and maids carrying large and small bags to salute, Luo Wuji reached out and took the heaviest package from a maid and put it on his shoulder, with a weapon in his right hand.

The contemporary Zhaogong looked at the handsome young man and girl in front of him, his face was full of reluctance and worry, he patted Luo Wuji's shoulder lightly and said: "When you go to Chang'an, you must take care of your health, I know that you want to fulfill the second uncle's last wish , but you must be careful when you go to the battlefield, don't leave your spirit soldiers, and always accompany brave warriors, the position of the head of the family is still waiting for you to come back to inherit it, this is also the great cause of the family."

Luo Wuji nodded and said with a smile: "Patriarch, don't worry, there is Ninth Brother in Chang'an, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhao Gong looked at Luo Jinxiu again and said: "Xiu Niang, you are Wuji's elder sister, please be careful about him when you arrive in Chang'an, if there is a suitable woman in Chang'an, remember to send a letter back."

When Luo Jinxiu heard this, her eyebrows and eyes curved into a crescent moon with a smile. She is a few years older than Luo Wuji, and now she is nearly double ten. As she grows up, she becomes more and more beautiful. Appearance.

She covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Patriarch, don't worry, I will take good care of Wuji, and nothing will happen to him."

Walking out of Luo Palace, a group of people from Dong'ahou's Mansion were already waiting here. Luo's carriage was also ready, and the accompanying warriors were even armed to the teeth. These people will obey Luo Wuji's orders from now on.

……

East Ahou Mansion.

Luo Jing lay on the rocking chair, swaying and taking a nap. Another ten years passed, and he was getting older. The young man who was popular in Chang'an back then could no longer see the charm of the past.

All his life, he held noble positions, especially the position of offering wine in the Taishang Academy Palace. It was so noble that it couldn't be more noble. If you want to say who has the strongest relationship and the highest prestige in the Han Dynasty, Luoling fell. After that, there was no one but him.

According to the adjectives of later generations, Luo Jing belongs to the leader of the literary world, the master of Confucian classics, and the leader of scholars, and he is also one of the leaders of the ministers. Even Han Liang, the current general of Huaiyin, calls him uncle.

"Your Majesty, the daughter-in-law Jinxiu and the son-in-law have arrived."

Hearing this, Luo Jing got up slowly, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and come in."

After Luo Wuji and Luo Jinxiu walked into the Hou's mansion, they were immediately surrounded by crowds.

There are naturally a lot of people in this huge East Ahou Mansion, and many of their descendants have gone out to set up their own houses, such as a few people who went to guard the East Ahou Kingdom, and those who served as county officials in the Central Plains and in the south of Jianghuai. Basically all the daughters got married, and although there were a lot of offspring, Luo Jing still gave each daughter a generous dowry.

"This is the son and noble daughter from Zhaocheng. Look at the stigmata between the eyebrows. Only the princes and marquises in our mansion have them."

"This noble lady is really stunning, even more beautiful than the noble ladies in the mansion."

"This young master is also very handsome. It is said that all the descendants of the Luo family in Zhaocheng are so beautiful."

Almost everyone is talking about it, so it has to be said that in the East Ahou Mansion, except for the butler, the captain of the guard, the head of the maid, and the warriors, most of them are not from Zhaocheng. With few sons, he was naturally very curious.

Don't talk about these maids and ordinary guards, even Luo Jing's grandchildren are a little curious about Luo Wuji and Luo Jinxiu. Even for them, many people are not familiar with Zhaocheng. Only take a few children who are willing to go back to Zhaocheng. It is not good to stay away from Zhaocheng. It is not convenient to visit relatives, especially if you choose to enjoy the glory and wealth outside. After changing your clan, it is difficult to return to Zhaocheng. It's big.

However, as long as the previous generations don’t make mistakes in principle, they can still get some help by virtue of their love. After all, the Rock’s relationship and energy are great, and the benefits they can get as an external contact of the Rock’s are not small. Well, if one day there is a calamity of destroying the family, you can still take refuge in Zhaocheng.

The Luo family may not be able to help you, a very powerful official, but you will definitely be able to save the lives of your family. King Xiang is the guarantee. The premise is that you have a good reputation and meritorious deeds.

"Those murderous big men are brave fighters, right?"

"It must be. Look at the word Luo on the package they are carrying, which is exactly the same as those brave fighters in the mansion. There are so many of them. There must be hundreds of people, right?"

"Estimated at 300, it was horrific.

It is said that the 100 warriors in the mansion fought with the guards of the mansion before, ten of them beat 100 people, and one of them was not damaged, so they overthrew all 300 of them. Those [-] guards had been lying down for several days. It is estimated that they can go directly to fight the Huns. "

Since it is not an official trip of the Principality of Zhao, it is natural not to be fully armed when entering Chang'an City. The three hundred warriors all took off their armor, but when they glanced around, their eyes were full of oppression, their whole body exuded a murderous aura, and their smooth lines were still full of explosions. Such power makes people have no doubt about the strength of these people.

Ten spiritual soldiers, five female and five male, respectively protect Luo Jinxiu and Luo Wuji. Anyway, the spiritual soldiers are only made of flesh and blood on the surface, but are actually formed by the rules of luck. The appearance of men and women does not affect the combat effectiveness .

Luo Wuji and Luo Jinxiu turned into a courtyard, and saw their cousin Luo Jing looking at them with a smile, saying they were cousins, but the age difference was too great, Luo Jinxiu Walking up to Fuli, he said crisply: "Brother is well and healthy, little sister is polite."

Luo Jing greeted with a smile: "Axiu, Wuji, I must be very tired along the way, take a bath first, then have a good rest, and get up again in the evening, I have prepared a big banquet for you, my brother, I have always been in Zhaocheng. Thrifty, come to the brother's mansion, and I will take you to spend extravagantly."

Luo Jinxiu covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard the words, and Luo Wuji also laughed. Both of them knew that Luo Jing was joking. There are too many training sessions to count, and the delicacies under the sun have already been eaten to the point of vomiting.

Luo Jinxiu and Luo Wuji were brought to another courtyard that had already been tidied up. Water at a suitable temperature had already been placed in the bathtub, and the spirit soldiers were guarding outside the house. Luo Jinxiu's clothes were rather cumbersome and needed the help of a maid to undress. Luo Wuji directly pulled out his clothes belt, and lying in the bathtub, amidst the steaming heat, Luo Wuji began to think about his plan after coming to Chang'an.

If Luo Wuji had the title of Duke Zhao, it would be very simple to enter the court. For Duke Zhao's title, the emperor should at least arrange an official position at the level of Jiuqing. After all, Duke Zhao is not other princes, and his political status is unusual. The Duke of the Han Dynasty is very special.

The prince is the clan, the marquis is the pinnacle of the military merit system, and the duke belongs to neither. It is simply a high political status, and it is a principality that will retire with the Han Dynasty.

But it's not too difficult now, what are the requirements of the probation system?

Recommend talented people, recommend people with high moral character, filial piety, benevolence, loyalty, etc. who conform to mainstream values.

If it is only about talent, there are many outstanding talents in the world. Although the sons of the Luo family are strong, there are people in every era who can be compared with or even surpass the sons of the Luo family.

Do you understand the gold content of a thousand-year-old moral benchmark?

80% of Ji Zhao's prestige system is full-value prestige. This is the Luo family. Those who don't understand the Luo family and make rash comments will eventually be annihilated in the mouths of all sentient beings.

The evaluation of talent plus morality, isn't this a tailor-made system for Luo Shizi?

Moreover, Luo Jing was able to meet the emperor directly. To a certain extent, Luo Jing was one of the emperor's allies in stabilizing the court. Luo Jing recommended Luo's son and was reused. To defeat the Xiongnu, the Luo family gave him a general for nothing, and Luo Jing couldn't even find a reason for Liu Che to refuse.

"Games can be obtained immediately, let's bring back a Marquis first."

Luo Wuji shook his head, stopped thinking about these future things, and started to wash up seriously, there will be a banquet in the evening.

----

The Juju system appeared with the emergence of scholars, and gradually matured in the Han Dynasty. From the perspective of later generations, we can criticize this system as a tool for the aristocracy to monopolize power, and the lower class who were not appreciated by the aristocracy were squeezed out political system, but in fact, this system of selecting officials was beneficial in the Han Dynasty, where productivity had not yet flourished. It united powerful groups within the dynasty to the greatest extent. From all the major events since the founding of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years, it can be seen that the probation system, which is combined with the military merit system, has made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
