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

Chapter 842 Li Yuan

Li Yuan felt that the wind around him suddenly became stronger, causing him to lose his balance.

In this strong wind, his legs kept shaking involuntarily.

He cursed in his heart, it was clear that it had not yet entered late autumn, but the weather was already bitingly cold, just like the ninth cold winter.

That's right.

Even though the weather suddenly turned cold, he would never admit that he was filled with fear.

The slightly cool wind blew through Luo Su's hair that fell on his face, illuminating his face like a jade, showing his elegant appearance. Luo Xuanye beside him had his hand on the sword, and he It's not a joke, as long as Luo Su showed the slightest tendency to kill Li Yuan, he would swing his sword out of its sheath. Luo Xuanjing looked at Li Yuan's uninvited guests with interest.

When Li Yuan came here, he was naturally not the only one. His wife Dou Shi and his only legitimate daughter were both here. Dou Shilan was so sweet that she certainly understood the critical situation at this moment. Her face turned pale and she held her daughter tightly in her arms. , forcing himself to calm down so that he would not be rude and shout out.

At this moment, Mrs. Dou was only lucky. That was that her eldest son Jiancheng did not follow Li Yuan to take office because he wanted to study in Chang'an. It was a pity that Xiuning had to die here at such a young age. She only had one son and one daughter. They regard him as his heart.

Li Yuan and Dou's hearts turned over and over again, and they were filled with despair, especially the dozens of spirit soldiers with indifferent expressions, riding high on their horses, with pieces of meat and blood stains hanging on the hooks of their knives, and their whole bodies were filled with the smell of ruthless murderous intent. Both of them knew that it was absolutely unreasonable, and Li Yuan could no longer even maintain the forced smile on his lips.

"Saint, don't kill my father and mother!"

The tragedy of destroying the family suddenly turned into a deep love for his son. Luo Xuanjing's eyes started to drift, but Luo Xuanye remained unchanged. As long as Luo Su didn't say anything, he would never change. This was exactly what he would be sent to do. The reason for following Luosu is that he is a straight man, and his life is as straight as his sword. When he walks on the road, he will cut off all the thorns and find a new road, even if there is a grand road next to him.

"I, the Li family, have really climbed up to the Luo family? No, the Luo family has really returned to the Central Plains?"

His change of face was too obvious. He looked like a murderous god before, but now he is as warm and gentle as the spring wind in March. As soon as the pressure was relieved, Luo Xuanye cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Li, I have offended you a lot just now. I hope you will forgive me in the future." They are a family, and when your daughter gets married, Xuan Ye will come to your door with gifts to apologize."

It is quite rare for a little girl under ten years old to be able to see that something is wrong with the situation, and to be able to say something like this in a clear and coherent manner. This is not an ordinary person.

Dou and Li Yuan were simply crazy. They didn't expect that Li Xiuning would rush out. Their love for their daughter made them temporarily get rid of their fear. They hugged Li Xiuning on one side and cried on the other: "Sir, spare your life, my little girl is ignorant."

Luo Su said slowly: "Killing these Sui Dynasty East Palace guards today is a death penalty for ordinary people. I don't care, but I don't want to cause trouble. After all, I still have to travel around the world. If I have to fight with you every day, The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty are fighting each other, which will delay my important event.

Luo Su looked at Li Xiuning again, thought for a while, reached out and took out a warm jade pendant from her waist, put it in Li Xiuning's hand, and said to Li Yuan and Dou: "I like this little girl very much, and I want to give her a fortune. Please marry Luo from now on, and I will find her the best husband in the world."

She observed the words and expressions before Dou Shi spoke, and spoke first: "Don't call me son, this is my Luo family's ancestor, just call me ancestor after you.

The Duke of Tang is a nobleman of the country, but I still advise you not to spread this matter.

As far as Li Yuan and Dou knew, direct lineage could only be three generations at most, and Luo basically did not have such a big difference in age and seniority.

Li Xiuning suddenly broke away from Mrs. Dou's arms, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, raising her little face. She inherited the beauty of Mrs. Dou and Li Yuan, and her face was quite heroic and not lacking in softness. Although not as good as Luo Xuanjing, But she is also a rare beauty. At this moment, her little face was covered with dust from kowtow, and with tears in her eyes, she said firmly: "Dad is worried about the safety of the saint, and wanted to come here to see if there is a chance to save the saint from danger, so now The power of the saint is born with great power. He is talented and wise. He can distinguish right from wrong and know the comings and goings. He will definitely know this. I pray that the saint will see that my father has a good heart and spare his life. Xiu would rather be a cow or a horse and weave a ring of grass around his neck. Repay this favor.”

Now Li Yuan wanted to pull someone over from the roadside immediately and ask him what a surprise is and what a fucking surprise is!

A woman from the Dou family reacted faster and immediately kowtowed to Luo Su by pressing Li Xiuning's head to settle the matter.

These words made Li Yuan feel a strong sense of time from Luo Su. He felt that the person standing in front of him was not a living person, but an ancient person who came here from a long time ago. The passage of time brought about The heaviness felt almost to the extreme in Luo Su.

Li Yuan was shocked by Luo Su's remarks. For the first time, he felt ashamed of himself. What was the so-called title of Duke of Tang?

Luosu laughed out loud. He liked everything that made him feel the breath of life and reality.

When Li Yuan heard this, he felt like he was being pardoned. The joy on his face could not be faked. He nodded wildly and said, "Please give me your words, sir. Yuan Ding will keep them in mind and will never spread them to others."

The scene they just encountered was like a dream to the three of them. When the wind blew, they were sweating and their whole bodies felt chilly. Li Yuan and Dou came back to their senses and looked at the hand in Li Xiuning's hand. A piece of jade pendant, suddenly enlightened.

But the Luo family members themselves said so, and both Li Yuan and Dou family knew there must be a reason. Li Xiuning kowtowed on the ground and called his ancestors.

Li Yuan's mind was already a little confused, so he could only say: "Don't worry, Sir, Yuan understands what to do, and there will never be any leaks."

As for Mr. and Mrs. Tang Guo, our ancestors are very old, so you can just call them "Mr." "

Li Yuan quickly said no, and Luo Xuanye stopped talking. When Luo Su and his party left along the main road, Li Yuan and the other three were still dizzy, as if they were in a dream.

Ancestor?

Old gentleman?

Being called an ancestor at such a young age?

It would be fine if it was an ordinary family with seniority, but this is the Luo family.

What is a sudden turn of events?

Luo Su looked at Li Yuan and said: "Tang Guogong, I, Luo, have always been aboveboard in my walk in the world. I have never engaged in any conspiracy. You have never come here with malicious intentions. Naturally, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so you don't have to be so nervous. I It's impossible to kill you.

However, I have something to say. Today, if it comes out of my mouth and enters your ears, please don’t let others know about it. "

I sit on the top of the mountains and rivers and watch the spring and autumn when all the countries are turned into earth, that's all. "

When Li Yuan and Dou heard Luo Su's hearty laughter, they relaxed a little. Luo Su smiled and touched Li Xiuning's little head, "What a filial and good boy. Zhou Li is the first, loyalty and filial piety are the best." First.”

Luo Su burst out laughing when he heard this, and Luo Xuanjing also covered his mouth and chuckled. Only Luo Xuanye remained expressionless, like an ice cube, which made Li Xiuning feel a chill coming from him.

"Tang Guogong."

Li Xiuning felt a burst of warmth coming from Luo Su's hands, making her feel warm all over.

He was obviously a few years older than the man next to him, but the two of them felt as if they were separated by hundreds and thousands of years. If Li Yuan was asked to describe it, he would think that Luo Su was someone who stepped down from those murals in ancient times.

Luo Su said with some nostalgia, "In the Land of the King of Tang Yu, when I was in the Land of the King of Tang Yu, I enfeoffed the Marquis of Jin. This is probably our fate."

What is a surprise?

Li Yuan has been a little unscrupulous in his words. He values ​​​​family and family background the most, and in his opinion, Luo's family is the highest and highest family background. Unless he can be a queen, nothing can compare with Luo's marriage.

Look at these vast mountains and rivers. Looking to the west is Qishan Mountain, and looking to the east is Mount Li. How many dynasties have passed through these 800 miles of fertile Tianfu land?

Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, how many countries in this world have come and gone. Where are the countries of Jin, Qin, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, and Han still today?

But only I, the Luo family, still exist in this world. I will comment on the achievements of a thousand years, and I will be in charge of them in a hundred generations. Whether to plan for the moment or for eternity, whether to lean towards the Sui Dynasty royal family or towards me, the Luo family, Tang Guogong should have There is a scale.

She was still a little confused and had no idea what was going on. Suddenly she had a fiancé whose name she didn't know, but she was smart and knew that her parents must be safe now, so she put a bright smile on her face.

What is a bright future?

He walked up to Li Yuan and the others, looked at Li Xiuning and said, "Little girl, why do you call me saint? If I don't remember, the subjects of the Sui Dynasty used this to call your emperor."

Li Xiuning's childish voice sounded, "My mother often said that if the Zhaocheng Luo family were here in the world, they would not bring trouble to my uncle's family. She shed tears every time she spoke. He can save people in urgent need and difficulties, and the world praises him. He is probably the saint mentioned in ancient times."

Luo Xuanye melted like ice and snow. When Li Xiuning kowtowed, he released his hand from the sword. A slight smile appeared on his face, and his eyes towards Li Yuan and the others instantly became kind.

Luo Xuanjing thought it was very reasonable. This little girl met Luo's standards for finding a wife. The most important thing was that if the ancestor liked her, he would like her.

"This is really a blessing and a misfortune. Such twists and turns are just like those absurd legends and novels. Unexpectedly, we actually met. Xiu Ning is really blessed. He has been a fortune teller since he was a child. Let’s just say that Xiuning is not an ordinary person and has great wealth, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.”

Mrs. Dou couldn't stop talking. As a mother, she was naturally the most concerned about her children's marriages, especially the marriages of powerful and noble families. It was difficult to make the decision many times. When she met Luo This is already considered lucky.

The breeze blew by, picking up a few withered yellow leaves scattered on the ground. Li Xiuning tightly held the warm jade pendant in her hand. Now that the autumn air was crisp and the sky was blue like clouds, there was a turbulent blue sea in her little heart that no one knew about. .

After Luo Su and the others left, chatting about their previous joke, Luo Xuanjing suddenly asked: "Ancestor, you just said that you would never kill that Duke of Tang. Did you really not think about killing that Duke of Tang? Or should you say , no matter who it was at that time, wouldn’t you kill him?”

Luo Su said softly with a smile on his face: "I won't kill Li Yuan. I haven't talked to him much, but I can already tell that he is a smart man and will not reveal our whereabouts. If we meet someone who is not very Smart people, the results will naturally be different. I have a compassionate heart, and I also have thunderbolt means. In this world, the more ruthless the means, the better I can be a good person."

Luo Xuanjing smiled when he heard this, and as expected, he asked again: "Ancestor, that young lady of the Li family, would you like to send a letter to Winter City to let the family choose a suitable candidate?"

When Luo Su heard this, he looked directly at Luo Xuanye and smiled: "Jing'er, what do you think of Aye? He's handsome, talented, capable of literature and martial arts, and of noble birth, wouldn't he be a good candidate for a husband?" "

Luo Xuanye didn't hold back at all, and Luo Xuanjing even covered his mouth and laughed, but still expressed his agreement, "Fifth brother is indeed suitable. Uncle will be happy to know this news."

……

This incident can only be regarded as a minor incident for Luosu and the others. They have traveled thousands of miles and encountered countless emergencies. When dozens of people were chasing and killing thousands of people on the grassland, that The scene was much bigger than it is now.

Along the way, not only eight hundred but also a thousand people were killed. These dozens of people were just trivial.

On the rest of the way, Luosu didn't encounter any unexpected situations, and Luosu successfully reached the destination of the trip - Lishan Mountain.

When the three people who had been laughing all the way arrived here, the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy. Luo Su got out of the carriage, looked at the Lishan Mountain with sparse vegetation, and sighed: "Do you know?

Back then, I presented my troops here three times, and all the princes in the world came with their own troops to inspect me. No princes dared to disobey Haojing's orders. That majestic power still echoes in my heart to this day.

Unexpectedly, just over a hundred years later, this place would transform into the place where Emperor Zhou died.

The emperor of Zhou who died here must be King You of Zhou. This posthumous title was well given. The incompetent king and the emperor who brought trouble to the country of Zhou and Sheji deserved such an end.

It's a pity that I can't sacrifice him to my ancestors with my own hands. It's a shame. "

Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing both listened silently and said nothing. Ancestor Wen Gong was usually peaceful, and only when Bang Zhou was involved, would he have relatively big mood swings. Time cannot erase his feelings for Bang Zhou, and time cannot diminish his deep love for Bang Zhou. As people who have always been with their ancestors, they certainly know that silence is the best way now.

Luo Su climbed up Lishan Mountain and looked around. Naturally, he could not see the Haojing City of the past. There were only sparse vegetation here. The magnificent Haojing City of the past could not even be seen even with its broken walls and ruins. The Qin Dynasty The palace had long been burned to ashes in the fire, and all the prosperity had disappeared.

Only the not-so-magnificent water and decaying flowers and plants were left, as well as the mist-filled woods, with vaguely foxes scurrying out. When seeing this scene, Luosu finally felt that the era he had been dreaming about had passed. .

Both Bangzhou and Chu are in the past.

Both Haojing and Fengcheng are in the past.

King Li of Zhou turned into earth, and King Zhao of Zhou also turned into earth.

He was the only remaining person from the old era. The vast and majestic loneliness suddenly swept over him, as if the loneliness in the depths of the universe for thousands of years made him breathless.

Endless darkness enveloped him.

"The spirit of King Su is in the sky, and his glory and reputation will last for eternity!

The spirit of King Su is in heaven, blessing his descendants with good fortune and longevity! "

He sang loudly on Lishan Mountain like no one else was around, singing the oldest sacred songs, as if he had returned to the era when he served as the Grand Priest.

……

Changan.

Luoyang is a holy city, but Chang'an is recognized as the imperial capital. In this era with a population of about 50 to 60 million, Guanzhong's advantages are too obvious. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said to be a solid golden city.

After the Sui Dynasty established its capital here again, and with the investment of a large amount of resources, Chang'an regained a bit of its heyday like the Han Dynasty.

A channel leading from the Wei River bypasses the rugged hills and finally converges in Yongzhou with Chang'an as the center. These rivers are like a jade belt.

This is the pattern of eight rivers surrounding Chang'an. Although Guanzhong is no longer as good as it was during the Han Dynasty, this is something that can't be helped. Back then, Guanzhong and Guandong were competing for supremacy. In order to win the final victory, Guanzhong was exploited to the fullest extent.

It has not recovered until now, and this unconscious recovery, especially when it is damaged from time to time, will inevitably lead to the deterioration of the ecological environment.

For Luo Su, the changes here are even greater. What era was he in? At that time, there were virgin forests everywhere, and the Wei River in Guanzhong was much more turbulent than the current Wei River.

Luo Su traveled around the world and naturally wanted to come to the capital to take a look. In theory, this place should be the most peaceful place in the world. If even the capital cannot be stable, then this dynasty will not last long.

The imperial capital of a dynasty can largely represent the future of the entire country.

Because the imperial capital is a benchmark, what it represents is to tell the people all over the world that this is the direction of future development. It is not achieved now because of objective reasons. This is equivalent to drawing a big pie for the people all over the world. As for whether it can be realized, It depends on what the rulers do.

But if even the cakes are not painted, just like in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the imperial capital does not look like an imperial capital, and is full of chaos and killing like all other places, then the consciousness of the entire country will fall into chaos.

In the Sui Dynasty, the new Chang'an city called Daxing City was very prosperous.

This level of prosperity was unheard of and unseen by Luo Su. The productivity of his time was completely different from now. It was incredible that Haojing City could have a population of 100,000, but Chang'an was far more than 100,000.

What will Luo Su do when he comes to Chang'an City?

He came to take a look at Chang'an's systems and laws, as well as the implementation of these systems and laws. On the one hand, he wanted to see the level of the Sui Dynasty's think tanks, and on the other hand, he wanted to see the Sui Dynasty's control over the grassroots.

The group of people found an inn. Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing helped Luo Su clean up the room quickly. Luo Su sat at the table and drank tea and sighed: "This Sui Dynasty is a very different dynasty from the past. The dynasty has undergone tremendous changes in its internal political operation logic. We need to study this change carefully. It seems that we will have to stay in Chang'an for a few more days."

This is Luo Su's conclusion about the Sui Dynasty after these days of understanding. This makes Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing a little confused. In their opinion, the Sui Dynasty is no different from the Han Dynasty recorded in the classics. .

Luo Su knew that this was not something that could be said in just a few words, so he pointed to the bed and asked the two of them to sit down. He directly started giving lectures to the two of them in the room: "You cannot look at things by their superficial appearance, just like the Emperor of Zhou and the Emperor of Han. Like the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, they only have the same name, but they are completely different inside.

Haven't you or your family ever thought about why it took hundreds of years of annexation wars during the Bang and Zhou era before a winner was finally determined and the world was finally unified?

The establishment of the Sui Dynasty was for the same reason. The collapse of the Han Dynasty was due to changes in the logic at the bottom of society. This change was multifaceted, starting with the economic aspect.

There are a lot of studies about Bang Zhou in the family classics. Due to the collapse of the well field system and the rise of ironware in Bang Zhou, the entire society underwent great changes. Also, because there were a large number of mediocre monarchs in Bang Zhou, they could not follow this trend. The collapse of rituals and music accelerated the collapse of politics, which ultimately led to the collapse of the state and Zhou Dynasty.

In the world after Qin and Han Dynasties, who do you think is the foundation of Zhuxia? "

Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanjing said without hesitation: "Yeoman farmers and small landowners!"

This is the result of Luo's research. The two brothers and sisters have naturally learned it. Luo Su has basically read all the classics in Luo's. He said solemnly: "But starting from the Later Han Dynasty, the world's real The power is the big landowners, so political chaos occurs frequently, coupled with the same series of things that trample on the bottom line, it once again creates a chaotic world. This is the second collapse of civility and music after the Zhou Dynasty.

And the degree is no lower than the last time. The new dynasty should have taken on the heavy responsibility of reshaping civilization and values, just like the Han Dynasty did, raising loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness to an unparalleled level to cope with the collapse of Zhou Rites values. .

But the Sui Dynasty had an inherent flaw. It bullied orphans and widowed mothers into taking power, and brutally purged the royal family before and after it came to power. This matter cannot be said to be right or wrong. It maintained the political stability of the Sui Dynasty today, but if it wanted to do something big, There will be concerns.

Especially the current emperor of the Sui Dynasty is still very far behind those top sage kings. After traveling in Guanzhong these days, you must also be aware of some of the shortcomings of the Sui Dynasty.

I have some doubts about whether the current emperor can reshape the value of the world, put the messed up hearts back together, and bring the world to a truly prosperous world. "

Luo Xuanye, who had always been cold-faced, did not expect that Luo Su would say such a thing and raise such questions about today's emperor. He asked in surprise: "Ancestor, aren't you going to go to the court to show off?"

"Enter the court?"

Luo Su smiled softly and said, "What official position and title do you think the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty should give me?"

"Uh……"

Luo Xuanye was immediately stopped by the question. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Prince? Prime Minister?"

These two are already the highest treatment for ministers. The prime minister who has not appeared in hundreds of years has almost never given a prince with a foreign surname during his lifetime. Even if they are given to the head of the Luo family, they are extremely courteous.

But after Luo Xuanye finished speaking, he scratched his head. He didn't know if he was the only one who felt this way. Even if the two were added to the ancestors, it would still feel weird.

Similar to, you can also grant me a title or official title?

Even if the head of the Luo family said this to the emperor, it would be a bit too arrogant. After all, this world belongs to the emperor, but if these words come from Luo Su's mouth, there is nothing weird at all.

What is Luo Wengong?

That is the ancient wise minister in the classics of various schools of thought. His era is too long ago. He is no longer a simple person, but an abstract symbol.

Just like mentioning Bigan, it means being a loyal minister.

When people think of ancient kings, they always think of those names, and when people think of ancient wise ministers, they can never avoid Luo Wengong.

He is already divine!

"I am a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I once loyal to the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now I am no longer loyal to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

It would be best if we could cooperate with him and revitalize Zhuxia together, but given the emperor's experience and the suspicion and sensitivity caused by it, it might be a bit difficult. "

Luo Xuanjing and the two had never thought of such a scene before, "Then after you, ancestor..."

Luo Su came into the world with a great cause. This is something that everyone in the Luo family knows. Now if he doesn't join the court as an official, how can he achieve a great cause?

Luo Su naturally knew what the two of them were thinking, and smiled nonchalantly: "I will not marry and have children after I come to this world. I will leave the world a hundred years later. Won't it still be my family who will be left in the world at that time?

You are my eyes, my hands and feet, my mind and everything. After Luo's return, it must not be a difficult task to occupy a high position in the Sui Dynasty. All he needs to do is rely on you to do some things. "

Luo Xuanjing and Luo Xuanye looked at each other and nodded seriously.

……

While Luo Su and others were talking, he galloped into the East Palace on horseback and walked in quickly with a face full of panic. When he met the guard, he immediately said: "Is His Highness the Crown Prince in the palace? There is a big event to report. All the palace people who traveled earlier are dead. On the post road."

what?

The palace was suddenly in a state of panic. A palace official traveling to the East Palace died on the post road. This was a big event.

who did it?

Looking at each other, I felt terrified!

----

When Gaozu was in the Sui Dynasty, he moved to Qizhou to be the governor. He met Wen Gong, who was a saint. He was very different from the emperor. He thought he was a hero, so he became attached to him. When Wen Gong looked at Gao Zu's face, he had a majestic appearance, and he had the appearance of a human being, which was very strange. Afterwards, they had a very pleasant conversation, and Princess Pingyang Zhao was also there. Duke Wen was very pleased with Pingyang, so he asked Gaozu about his marriage, and Gaozu was pleased.

When the great dynasty was established, there were quite a few rumors about Gaozu. Gaozu was very angry and said to his left and right: "Sir and I hit it off as soon as we met. We are the acquaintances of gentlemen."

Wen Gong also said: "Gaozu was magnanimous and magnanimous, and had the style of Han Gao."

The rumors stopped. ——"Old Book of Tang·The Chronicles of Emperor Gaozu"
