Chapter 28
Having probably sorted out some of Wang Ji's current serious problems, Luo Cheng met Luo's allies in Ji with a heavy heart.

At present, the feudal lords in Wang Ji are completely different from what they were a hundred years ago. At first, they were just fiefs, with an area of ​​less than [-] miles. The power of the nobles and nobles mainly depended on the official positions that were passed down from generation to generation.

However, as the emperors gave the land in Wangji from generation to generation, coupled with the serious annexation of the land in Ji, now the princes in Ji are real princes.

They have control over large tracts of land, titles, and ruling positions within the territory, which are in fact no different from the feudal lords outside the territory.

If Luo Cheng wants to do things, he naturally needs their support.

But he said that since the night banquet in the palace, Luo Jiang has often entered the palace to talk with Shen Jiang, mainly to calm Shen Jiang's heart and give everyone a signal.

That is, Ji Yi's storage position is protected by the Luo family.

This trick is really useful. Since Ji Yi has not been in Haojing for many years, there are naturally many people who are interested in the undercurrent.

Now these things are hidden.

But this incident has caught Bao Si's attention. She and Shen Jiang's mother and son have an endless relationship, and naturally they cannot tolerate this situation.

It's just that she knows Luo's reputation, so she can only secretly be anxious and irritable. A woman who gradually loses her senses is terrifying, and something Luo Cheng never imagined happened.

……

One day, when Ji Nie came to Baosi Palace, she saw Baosi weeping in the curtain.

When Bao Si was born, Ji Zhao had seen her before. Her beauty is not something that can be created in the world at all.

The whole country and the city can't describe her one ten thousandth, and now the tears are flowing, it is really pitiful, not to mention Jinie?

Jinie came to Baosi's side, held Baosi's soft weed, and said distressedly: "Aifei, what can make you cry?

The widow is rich in the world, whatever you want, you can get it for you. "

Bao Si threw herself into Ji Nie's arms and cried, "Your Majesty, the concubine was originally just a woman from a small country in the western border of the Zhou Dynasty.

To be fortunate enough to marry the king, this is the grace bestowed by God.

Because she was favored by you by mistake, and unfortunately gave birth to a child, the queen was jealous of her concubine.

The courtiers and concubines were of humble status and feared to upset the king, so they did not dare to argue with the queen, but the queen became more and more excessive.

Recently, Mrs. Luo Guo went in and out of the Queen's Palace, and there were a lot of resentment in the Queen's words.

He also said that he would recall the prince to avenge her. The prince had been in the country for so many years and resented his concubine.

If he came back, the lives of his concubine, mother and son would be on the line.

The life and death of the concubines and concubines are not important, but Fu'er is your prince. Please ask the king to be the master of the concubines and their mothers. "

Ji Nie held Bao Si's face, wiped away her tears, and said softly, "Concubine Ai, don't worry, if there is a widow, Ji Yibian will always be in Shen, and the widow will not let him return to Haojing.

As for Luohou, although he is powerful, the Luo family takes the most important rules and abides by the way of the monarch and ministers, and will not be detrimental to the concubine. "

Bao Si was obsessed and said, "Your Majesty, you are the son of God, so naturally no one can disobey your orders.

But after you are long live, the prince will be the king. On that day, the concubine, mother and son will surely die without a place to be buried. "

After he finished speaking, he burst into tears, and a few lines of clear tears seemed to fall directly into Gine's heart.

Ji Nie hugged Bao Si in her arms, and remembered Shen Guo's disrespect and control over her, she felt even more hatred, and sighed: "Aifei, the widow wanted to abolish Shen Jiang for a long time, how could the daughter of the Rong people do this? What about being a queen?
Moreover, the Marquis of Shen relied on the strength of the country, and there were Rong people as marriage-related, and he was disrespectful to the widow.

If it is possible, it would be a beautiful thing if the widow is willing to make you the queen and Fu'er the prince immediately.

But Shen Jiang was greeted by the ministers of King Xuan's time. She was not at fault. If the few people abolished her post, the ministers probably would not agree.

Especially Luohou, who must be admonishing few people with Zhou etiquette, what should we do at that time? "

A cold light flashed in Bao Si's eyes, which quickly disappeared, and she gently raised her head from Jinie's arms.

There was still a layer of water mist in his reddish eyes, and his eyes were full of thirst for life, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, Zhou Li said that it is in line with the way of heaven that a subject obeys the ruler's words; wrong.

The ministers should advise the monarch, but the monarch should make the final decision.

Even if the courtiers are unwilling, they should obey the monarch's decision, which is in line with etiquette.

If a group of ministers remonstrate, you can say no, so as not to hurt your relationship with your ministers.

When things calm down, no one will speak to you again. "

When Ji Nie heard this, she only felt that the words came into her heart, and she was overjoyed: "Concubine Ai is so smart, this statement is truly insightful. The widow will know Guo Shifu tomorrow and tell the world."

Guo Shifu is the only third prince currently in power, and from an institutional point of view, he can indeed issue an edict directly.

But generally, it is only when the ministers are called to discuss that something is decided, and then the process begins.

Now that Jinie got a hint from Bao Si, she actually issued an edict directly, and she didn't expect the follow-up result at all.

Only then did Bao Si burst into a smile. Seeing this beautiful scene, Jinie was overjoyed and even more proud.

……

The next day, a decree came out from the official office of the Heavenly Official and spread all over the place.

"Wang Zhao said:

Queen Shen Jiang was originally a woman of the Rong people, but because of the grace of the King Xuan first, she could become the queen of the emperor of Bangzhou and received the blessing of the destiny.

But she didn't appreciate the kindness of the Tian family, instead, because Ji Yi was not around, she spoke resentful words to the emperor, and even cursed the emperor.

How vicious!
Could such a virtuous woman become a queen?

But after she gave birth to Wang Ziyi for the widow, Yu Ji had a bloodline contribution.

According to the rules of the ancestors, the widow abolished her queen position and put her into a cold palace to reflect.

Bangzhou could not live without a queen for a day. Madam Baosi was a virtuous woman who was born in the kingdom of all summers. The gods favored her, and the widow named her as queen.

King Su established the patriarchal system, and the direct son was given by God to inherit the status.

Since ancient times, sons have been honored because of their mother's blood.

Now Shen Jiang is just a sinner, Wang Ziyi is just the son of a sinner, and he also serves as the prince, which is not harmonious.

Ji Fu's mother was the queen, and he was the eldest son of the widow. As the prince, he must be recognized by God.

The widow canonized the queen and the prince for the sake of the state of Zhou.

Use this edict to inform all the kingdoms of Xia, let the princes all over the world know it, and celebrate the new queen and prince of Bangzhou. "

This edict is like smashing a meteorite on a calm lake. There is no ripple on the lake surface, because the entire lake has been smashed!
Lowe's Mansion.

After the unhappy parting of the palace night banquet, Luo Cheng has been meeting with his allies, but he has not met with Jinie.

He listed the influential princes and ministers of the state and Zhou on a list, outlined them one by one, and selected those he needed.

One person cannot accomplish anything. To achieve a political goal, the first thing to do is to form a political group. Luo Cheng is now choosing his own people.

As for the matter of Queen Shin Kang, he just let his wife do it.

He believed that when Gine saw her attitude, as long as she had a brain, she would not act rashly.

He was estimating the possible situation in the study when his wife Luo Jiang suddenly walked in with a somewhat anxious expression.

"Beloved, the king just issued a decree, abolishing the queen Shen Jiang and the prince Yi, making Bao Si the queen, and the prince serving as the prince."

"what?"

Even with Luo Cheng's calmness, he was stunned, unable to believe what he heard.

He stretched out his hand to take the will brought by his wife, looked at it hastily, and found that it was actually a legal edict.

"Bypassing the princes and ministers and directly ordering the Heavenly Official to issue an decree?"

"Not only abolished the post, but also directly insulted Shen Guo?"

"Is Gine crazy?"

Such disrespectful words came directly from Luo Cheng's mouth, and he really couldn't care less.

For a calm person like him, even if he thinks about it for ten days and ten nights, it is impossible to figure out why Gine would issue such an edict.

Is he crazy?

He really doesn't know whether Shen Guo and Bao Guo are more important?
Not to mention the other ministers, when my own father was in Hokyung, he told Gine about the importance of Shenguo!

This incident was too sudden, and with his eyes, he could immediately see the deep crisis in it.

You must know why he is willing to maintain Shen Jiang's status and Ji Yi's crown prince.

First of all, this is stipulated by the patriarchal law, and it is his duty to maintain it.

The second is Shen Jiang's father, Shen Guo, where the Marquis of Shen is located, occupies an extremely important position in his future ruling territory.

For at least ten years, Marquis Shen must stabilize!
Even if you are dissatisfied with his self-respect, you will have to deal with him in the future.

Luo Cheng needed to protect Queen Shen Jiang and Crown Prince Ji Yi to get Shen Hou to stand on his side, but now they are all in vain.

Seeing her husband's heavy expression, Luo Jiang was also a little panicked, and said, "My dear, what should I do now? Is there still room for mediation?"

Luo Cheng put down the edict and sighed lightly, "The edict has been issued, and there are no errors in the procedure, everything is settled.

Although Gu hates Jinie and Guo Shifu, but he can't step on the majesty of the Son of Heaven so brightly.

Moreover, this insulting will must have already been passed on to Shen Guo, and even if an edict is issued now to withdraw the will, it will be too late to salvage this matter.

Xijun, Haojing is bound to become a place of right and wrong. Later, I will arrange for a sergeant to protect you and return to Luo Kingdom. There may be danger here, and I can’t watch you fall into a dangerous place. "

Seeing that Luo Cheng had begun to arrange a way back for himself, Luo Jiang immediately knew in his heart that it was really bad, and sobbed: "King Su said that husband and wife are one.

Now that you are in danger, but let your concubine run away alone, is it to make your concubine a scumbag without virtue? "

"Xijun doesn't have to be like this. With the blessing of the solitary king's ancestors, you can turn misfortune into good fortune. You go first and return to the country to teach your children and grandchildren well. This is also an important thing."

After Luo Cheng's repeated consolation, Luo Jiang cried and returned to Luo Guo with the sergeant.

As Luo Jiang's figure disappeared, Luo Cheng's face instantly turned cold, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.

He called in several personal guards, quickly wrote a few letters, and handed them over to several personal guards, asking them to send them to the hands of several princes.

Gine's operation was to throw the torch directly into a powder keg that was about to explode.

King Haojing has many vassals in the four directions. To the east there is the State of Jin, and the State of Zheng, which has not yet been relocated, and the states of the feudal vassals, such as the State of Zhou, State of Li, etc., which were originally enfeoffed by the Duke of Luowen, and the State of Fei to the west. There are vassal states, and there are Bao states in the southwest.

These princes jointly guard the Rong and Di of the Quartet for the emperor.

However, none of these vassal states did not declare the state, and they were important to the current Wang Ji.

Because the geographical location of Shen Kingdom is very important, it is in the northwest of Wangji.

Among the forces of the Rong clan in all directions of Wang Ji, the forces of the Northwest Quanrong are the most powerful.

Shen Guo was able to survive in that place, first because Shen Guo was powerful, and second because Shen Guo had the surname Jiang and was originally from Jiang Rong, so it was very common for Shen Guo to marry Fang Guo in Quan Rong.

Wang Ji used Shen Guo to ease the conflict with the Northwest Quanrong. In recent years, the two sides have not used swords, allowing Wang Ji to free up his hands to clean up the Rong forces in other directions.

The sharp swords that were stabbed by Wang Ji in all directions, the sharpest of which was blocked by Shen Guo.

Therefore, the state of Shen is Wang Ji's life-saving shield.

Another vassal state in the northwest is Zeng State, but Zeng State and Shen State are on good terms, and these two countries have always been advancing and retreating together.

Once Shen Guo and Wang Ji turned their faces, the entire northwest gate of Wang Ji opened instantly.

It may be that Jinie has never seen the situation of the Northwest Dog entering the pirate, and has no intuitive feeling about the role of Shen Guo, so she is so contemptuous.

Most of the ministers who knew about Shen Guo's situation were reprimanded by Gine, or left Gine directly.

The reason why Luo Cheng sent a letter to the princes was because he was worried that if Shen Guo and Quan Rong attacked Wang Ji together, the situation would be unimaginable.

This isn't Luo Cheng's alarmist talk. With the fragile trust between Shen Guo and Wang Ji, this matter is very likely to come true.

Shen Guo was originally a great noble who migrated from Wang Ji during the Luo Wen Gong period.

A generation of people developed a country along the Jingshui River and paid great hardships, and now they have become a big country with a radius of hundreds of miles.

In addition, the Shen clan who stayed in Wang Ji was the largest sect in the state and Zhou Dynasty, but in the next hundred years, the two sides gradually became estranged, and then the Shen clan in Wang Ji lost power.

The communication between the State of Shen and Wang Ji gradually decreased. The State of Shen developed in the Xirong land, and it was inevitable that it had a blood relationship with the Xirong tribe.

Moreover, the surname Jiang originally came from Xirong.

Because of some frictions, Wang Ji attacked Shen State, and called Shen State Shen Rong to humiliate him.

Since then, the relationship between the two sides has become tense.

This incident made Luohou very speechless at the time, and it was exactly the same as what happened to Xiong Dun more than a hundred years ago.

The only thing fortunate is that Shen Guo did not have the God of War like Xiong Dun, so Wang Ji did not lose.

But the Liangzi of the two sides ended like this, and that period was also the strongest time of the Qin Rong entering the bandit.

The relationship between the two parties finally eased up after various mediations, and after Queen Shen Jiang married into Bang Zhou and gave birth to the eldest son Ji Yi.

In recent years, Shen Guo has intermarried not only with Quanrong, but also with the royal family. The northwest is relatively stable, and Wang Ji's external pressure is much less.

Now, it was destroyed by Gine's sleazy manipulation.

Luo Cheng just sent a letter to the princes, just to ask them to lead troops to the king.

Once Shenhou really rebelled, he would have to face not only the combined forces of Shenzeng and the two countries, but also the tidal forces of the Quanjun.

In the past, Jie favored the younger sister because of the death of Xia, Zhou favored Daji because of the death of Shang, and Wang now favors the concubine. - "Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty"
