Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 18 The Council of Regents
Ji Wan was given the posthumous title of "Li" by the supportive officials, and he was not allowed to be buried in the ancestral royal tomb. Instead, he chose a wild place to build a tomb. It can be said that he was completely set on the pillar of shame in history.

Since Ji Xi had not yet been crowned and could not manage the government, the Empress Dowager held the government under the curtain. Luohou was the Grand Master and the Heavenly Official, Song Gongshuang was the Taifu and the Autumn Official, Qi Hou was the Taibao and Xia Official, Jin Hou was the Spring Official, and Chen Hou was the Earth Official. The Marquis of Hand was the winter official.

The most satisfied is the Marquis of Jin. Chunguan is a ritual officer and can take charge of part of the clan affairs. Although he does not have the direct authority of Da Zongzheng, he understands Luosu's attitude and is very satisfied with the current arrangement.

Chen Hou has now deeply felt the benefits of his relatives. From a marginalized Hou country, he has mastered Wang Ji's land, household registration, and taxation power all at once.

Luo Su himself finally got the highest power in the state and Zhou.

The sun is rising, the fish in the east is lightly exposed, and the chariots of Queen Mother Qi Jiang and Tian Zixi are driving in the palace. The bronze statue of the Phoenix flying on the top of the palace is melodious.

Qi Jiang recalled Ji Wan's absurdity over the years, looked at the emperor beside him, and said softly: "The palace of the emperor, sit with the holy king, Xi'er remember, never be a person like King Li who harms the country. After death, faceless to meet the ancestors."

The emperor nodded heavily, and said loudly: "Mother, don't worry, my son will take a warning, and I will learn from the teacher and prosper the state."

In the palace, Luo Su and other six people were standing there waiting respectfully. When they saw the Emperor's Luan Jia approaching, they stepped forward to greet him. Luan Jia stopped, and Tian Zixi jumped out of the car first, wandered his eyes, and then went straight to Luosu. Come and say with joy, "Teacher."

When the Queen Mother got out of the car, Luo Su and others saluted together, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor returned the salute.

Luo Su looked at the already majestic Emperor Xi, as if he saw the future of Bang Zhou. King Li's rule over these years has done too much damage to Bang Zhou, and he needs an excellent heir.

Luo Su and others entered the discussion hall with the Queen Mother and the Emperor. The Queen Mother Qi Jiang and Tian Zixi sat at the top, and Luo Su, as the Taishi and Heavenly Official, was responsible for organizing this crucial meeting.

"Masters, Xiong Dun's rebellion has been settled, and then the king's affairs will be promoted. King Su once said that if the name is not correct, the words will not go well, and if the words are not in line, things will not succeed. How do the six of us take charge of the state and Zhou? Top priority today.”

Now Luosu has seized all the powers of Wang Ji by virtue of his achievements in pacifying the chaos, but since the source of their power is the queen dowager who replaces the regent of the emperor, it is very unstable. This is not allowed by the six people. At this point, Qihou could only stand on Luosu's side.

It is quite reasonable for Luo Su to make this request. If it was made by other princes, I am afraid they will be secretly slandered by those who are interested.

But Luohou is different. The first ancestor, King Su, acted on his behalf in the past, and after three generations of Luohou, he was loyal to the king and put the interests of the royal family above the interests of Luo. Political trust has been elevated to the extreme.

Queen Dowager Qi Jiang said in a serious voice: "All of you are the important ministers of the state, and the Grand Master can speak bluntly, and he can always negotiate a charter."

Seeing the Queen Mother's statement, Luo Su said: "At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Su was ordered by the previous king to serve as the regent and act on his behalf, which is the most justifiable.

However, King Xian Li suddenly collapsed, and the Son of Heaven has not yet been crowned, so he cannot govern. According to the ritual system, the Queen Mother is temporarily regent. This is the authority of the royal family and should not be taken lightly.

The minister proposed to set up a regent council to take charge of all important military affairs, and to make seven of me the princes of the regent council.

Any matter that needs the emperor's seal, it will be decided by the meeting, and when the emperor is crowned, the meeting will be dissolved directly. "

What Luosu said was that the six people in power were given the title of regent. In fact, the power did not change much, but the status was completely different.

It can be called immovable. The so-called regent is to exercise power on behalf of the emperor.

Even if the emperor takes back the power of the regent, it is in the hands of the regent. Even if someone impeaches, he can speak out.

Who is in the hall?Sue this officer!
In this meeting, most of them are allies of Luosu. Through the meeting, they can control the power of the regent without serving as the regent.

The rest of the people have their own thoughts. The Queen Mother is a wise person. She knows in her heart that the regency power she has acquired through her identity cannot be maintained for a long time.

Moreover, Qihou and Luohou are both her backers, and with this literary and military presence, the society is stable.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother Qi Jiang stood on Luosu's side with a clear-cut stand and said, "Ben Gong thinks what the Taishi said is reasonable.

Adding the title of 'Prince of the Regency Council' to the princes can reduce the covetousness of those who are interested, and make the princes of Wangji and the lords of foreign lords put away their unnecessary thoughts. Now that Wangji is depleted, it is a major event to promote Wangji. "

Since the Queen Mother agreed, the others naturally had no opinion.

Luo Su's proposal probably didn't want Wang Ji to be caught in the whirlpool of political struggle. He was so prestige, and there were not many people who opposed him as a grand master. The title of prince of the Regency Council did not improve him that much.

Luo Su acted resolutely, and the most important thing was decided, and the seal would be used immediately to enact this matter to Wang Ji and other countries.

[The patriarch of the Luo clan serves as the chief of the regency council, your family once again has a glorious history of regents, your family influence has increased again, and your luck points have increased significantly. 】

The sudden system prompt attracted Ji Zhao's eyes. Looking at Luo Su, who was in high spirits, Ji Zhao shook his head. How could the regent be so good.

When the waiter took the edict out, everyone discussed the second matter, the major event of the feudal state and the founding of the country.

"Four marquis in one day is really a grand event in the country. I wonder if there is someone in the heart of the Grand Master?"

Hearing this, Luo Su smiled dumbly and said, "Don't joke about it, princes, it's a matter of the king's way to seal the princes, I'm nothing but the emperor's steward, a mediocre official who does things according to the rules.

Who can be enshrined as a feudal lord, it is clearly written in the Zhou Li, or it is a minister with outstanding achievements, or a clan with noble blood, that's all. "

As soon as Luo Su said it, everyone understood and turned their attention to Qi Jiang, the Queen Mother, who is a noble clan, who is more noble than the brother of today's son?

When Qi Jiang heard this, her brows suddenly wrinkled. One of her sons became the Son of Heaven, and the other son had to be enfeoffed, but she never thought of enfeoffing her son to a remote place in the south.

In today's Bangzhou, there are four levels of feudal states of the same land. The first level is the surrounding of Wangji, which is sealed in Luoyi. With such a large population, fertile land, prosperous business and prosperous culture, it is a place blessed by God.

The second class is the land from Jin to Haojingwangji, where the ancestral temple of Bangzhou is located.

The third is the land developed by Luo and Qi in the East. On these lands, the culture of the Xia has been very prosperous, and the Dongyi tribes have become less and less, and they are very prosperous.

The worst is the north, south, and west, where there are many poor, war-torn, and barbarians.

Even as a marquis, Qi Jiang would not let his son go to that kind of place.

So he frowned and said, "The first king's second son is just a child, how can he bear the burden of defending the state of Chu? The first king has three concubines, all of whom have been crowned and enshrined in Wang Ji, and the rank is no more than a son of an uncle.

Xi'er ascended the throne, and the whole world celebrated, and he should have given his brother a seal to show his benevolence, so the three titles were raised to marquis, and the marquis moved to Tang Sui and other places. "

In just a few words, the arrangement of the princes was clear, and the people present couldn't help but admire the decisiveness, and did not worry about the dissatisfaction of the princes' relatives.

Several people agreed directly and began to decree.

Luo Su said: "The land of Shenlu is the most important. Among the generals who followed Prince Li's personal expedition, Yu Boxiu was promoted to the marquis of Shen, and he gave him both Shenlu cities and two hundred li. The land shows the kindness of the Son of Heaven."

Now that the state has been greatly expanded, even the land of the country has a hundred miles, but when the land is given, it is still in accordance with the old system of Zhou rites.

Uncle Yu is one of the concubines. Now, to move Uncle Yu's vassal state, he naturally needs to give more land and other rewards, so as not to fall into the reputation of treating the clan harshly.

"Since King Su became regent, now Wang Ji's official system is complex, and the ministers have been regulated. Most of the three dukes bestow honorable titles on high-respected clan chiefs, and most of them are not involved in political affairs.

As for the official system of Wang Zuo, the six officials of heaven and earth, spring, summer, autumn and winter are the top ministers. Da Zong is in charge of the affairs of the princes with the surname Ji, the uncle of Shaozong is in charge of the affairs of the princes with the surnames outside, and the Dahonglu is in charge of the princes. Things.

The princes of the four towns moved once every eight years, and they were all held by the princes with meritorious deeds. "

Luo Su took great pains to strengthen the relationship between the emperor and the princes whose blood ties were getting farther and farther away. If the powerful princes had never seen the emperor in their lives, how could they talk about the so-called loyalty?

……

Heavenly Official's Office.

There is no doubt that this is the power center of the entire world today, and the entire affairs of Wang Ji and the entire state and Zhou must be decided by the heavenly officials.

The Chunguan Jinhou and the local official Chenhou were beaming with joy, feeling that they had reached the pinnacle of their lives.

Luo Su filled the three with wine and said with a smile, "Marquis Jin and Marquis Chen, please also drink."

The two of them thanked each other and said, "How dare you trouble the Grand Master."

After drinking warm wine, Chen Hou opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what the grand master has to call me and the two of you?"

Luo Su didn't answer, but turned to ask the Marquis of Jin: "The ancestor of Marquis Jin is the younger brother of King Wu. It has been four generations now, and the blood relationship with the emperor is very weak."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Jin Hou and Chen Hou immediately became serious.

"However, it has been like this for four generations. What about 100, 300, and 500 years later? Will the descendants of later generations still be able to defend the emperor? Gu is very skeptical.

Since the time of King Su, Da Zongzheng has been in the Luo family's lineage. When he arrived at Gu, the problem was already very serious, so he couldn't ignore it, so he came up with a solution.

The Marquis of Jin is now a spring official, with the power to control the clan, and the Marquis of Chen is the Shaozong Bo, who can coordinate the princes of different surnames, so this matter must be entrusted to the two. "

Marquis Jin and Marquis Chen looked at each other and said in unison, "Your Majesty can speak, and I will do my best."

"Among Wangji, there are pedigrees of feudal lords in the world, and the two of them keep records of the men and women of the appropriate age in the vassal's families, especially those who have brothers and sisters.

Emperor Xi married Chen Hou's direct daughter. Under the Teng concubine system, Chen Hou was afraid that all the women would be stuffed into the emperor's harem.

From what I see, there is no need to do this, leaving one or two direct daughters and ancestral daughters to marry into the families of other princes surnamed Ji, such as the sons of the princes of Jin.

The same surname cannot be broken without marriage, so the blood of different surnames is used to make the emperor and the princes get closer, and the country of Bangzhou can be slightly more stable. "

Hearing what Luo Su said, both Jin Hou and Chen Hou showed smiles on their faces. It was not difficult, and it was very beneficial to both of them, so they agreed.

Looking at the distant figures of the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Chen, Luo Su pondered for a moment. This method should be able to pull back the eccentricity between the princes and the emperor, but as the strength of the princes expands further, the emperor must also strengthen his own strength.

The meaning of the old ancestor's words, the destiny of our state, at least not lower than that of the Yin and Shang, the ancestors laid a century-old foundation for the state, can I do it?

Numerous complicated thoughts fell on his mind, and the attendant came in to inform that Marquis Shen came to visit.

As soon as Shenhou Xiu came in, he paid homage and said respectfully, "Xiu pays his respects to the Taishi."

Luosu is very kind to Shenhou, because Shenhou's real identity is only a son of a wicked son, not even a concubine. In this era, his status is as low as a slave.

A very gray and humorous thing is that Ji Zhao formulated the patriarchal system and the feudal system, creating an era when the hierarchy was strict and blood relationship almost determined everything.

But he himself and the Luohous of all dynasties under his secret influence did not care about blood.

This is why Luosu abandoned Ji Wan without hesitation. All the rules are simply tools to maintain rule.

With Luosu's secret help, Marquis Shen was able to give birth to a son from a villain, and finally sat on the position of prince.

His biological mother was also posthumously named a wife, and no one dared to mock his background in person. This kind of kindness was simply higher than that of his parents.

Now, Luo Su made another move, letting him go from a commander to a prince of Zhennan, the same as the prince of the emperor, and he was named a marquis and became the ancestor of the line. In other words, transcending one's ancestors is the most glorious thing.

How could Marquis Shen not kowtow deeply to Luosu and do what a dog does?
Luosu helped him up and smiled, "Shenhou doesn't have to be like this. You are from a handsome family. You have performed extraordinary in this Southern Expedition. Now you are the Marquis who is in charge of the territory of two hundred miles away. You can set up another ancestral temple and boast of your descendants. I am lonely." congratulations."

Then Marquis Shen knelt down and sat down opposite Luosu, "It's all thanks to the help of the Taishi, Xiugui is not worthy of it, the matter of the Southern Expedition, sigh, if you can't protect the emperor, it's a dereliction of duty."

"Marquis Shen doesn't need to belittle yourself, King Li is angry and resentful, and it is not easy to help such a monarch. This time, you don't have to worry too much about going to Shendi to build a country. You can build the Shen country well in your life.

One day alone in Luoyi, Xiong Dun will not send troops to the north. After you arrive in Shendi, go west to expand your strength. You must also pay attention to keeping in touch with the other three countries. You are both surnamed Ji and cannot be married by marriage. It's best to form a pair.

When Xiong Dun returned to China this time, Gu couldn't guess the change in people's hearts in Chu, but after he passed away, he would definitely have to do it again. Gu hoped that Shen Guo would be worthy of a big job at that time. "

Luo Su told Shen Houxiu about his requirements. Now he is not only concerned with the policy issues when he was in power, he has already begun to arrange for the next generation. Modify the reason for sealing the application.

"Xiu, there is only one thing to say, just listen to it.

Over the past 70 years, many enfeoffed countries have perished. The reasons for this are complicated, but the root cause is that the monarch is playing wild and the state government is abolished. Therefore, the survival of the country lies in the choice of heirs.

Shen Guo is the front line facing the Chu country. You must be careful. I heard that your second son is only ten years old. You can follow Wang Quanshu. If you want, you can accept him as a student. He was looking for a noble girl from Song to marry him. "

Shen Houxiu's face was instantly ecstatic. Being the No. 1 student of the dynasty, he could marry a noble daughter from the duke family. Who could refuse?
He said without hesitation at the moment: "I am willing to send the dog to the Grand Master's mansion after returning."

Seeing that Marquis Shen was decisive, Luo Su was very satisfied, and the two began to chat and laugh. Luo Su proposed to Marquis Shen the tasks that Shen Guo needed to bear at that time, and released Marquis Shen.

Shen Houxiu left the Heavenly Official's Office with a slight sigh on his happy face. He knew the meaning of Luo Su's words earlier.

His eldest son was wicked and stupid. He was also famous in Luo's clan, but he didn't expect it to reach Luo Su's ears.

Now he wants to guard the Shen country and restrain the development of the Chu country. This is Bang Zhou's century-old plan. Shen is the most important pawn. Luo Su is dissatisfied with his heir, and reminds him to accept his second son as a student, and to match Song Guo's noble daughter. , This is to remind him, let him handle it himself, it can be said to be the best of benevolence and righteousness.

Shen Houxiu was grateful for Luosu's kindness, calmed down a little, and decided to let his eldest son have some accidents and lose the right of inheritance.

……

King Kang said: Uncle Wang is the regent, and the world is serving guests.

King Su said: The only thing is the utensils and the name, no fake person, what the king is in charge of, and the regent is based on these two, the king should not give it lightly. - "The Second Part of the King's Road"
