Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 507 The Shock Caused by Luo Shi's Death
Luo Shi passed away!
At stake is not just his personal life or death, or the grief and heartbreak of his family.

The death of any important person will cause great changes in the political structure, and even the life and death of a faction are on the leader's body.

No outsider knew about Luo Shi's possession of the divine weapon, and outsiders also speculated about Luo Shi's supernatural powers, and didn't know how powerful it was.

But why is it that no matter whether it is the emperor or the noble officials, they still fear and respect the Luo family so much?
Ordinary people respect Rockwell because of legends and virtues.

But how could a creature like an official respect a person purely because of his virtue?
If this is the case, then it should not be Zhang Juzheng who is in charge of the great affairs of the Ming Dynasty, but Hai Rui!
When the Han Dynasty was just established, the Luo family was known as "Luo Ban Dynasty", "Luo and Liu share the world!"

The description is that the Luo family's power is huge, not inferior to the royal family. This is not an exaggeration, but what the people of the world think, even the royal family themselves think so.

Even some people with extremely dark psychology doubted whether the Empress Dowager would follow the example of Qin Shihuang's mother, Zhao Ji, and usurp the Han Dynasty by creating a posthumous child of Liu Bang during the period of Sanluo's assistant administration.

Because in the imperial court at that time, even the meritorious officials were sitting on the wall between Luo and Liu, and the entrepreneurial hero and major shareholder of the big man, Lu, were all biased towards the Luo family. How could the Liu family fight against the Luo family?

Can usurp the throne but not usurp, can preside over the ruler but not prestige, can monopolize power but not monopoly.

This is the reason why Luo Xin was praised as the pillar of the sky by the people of the time, and this is why Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying and Emperor Xiaowen Liu Heng treated Luo Xin like a father, and they did their best to honor Luo Xin after death, and even let this trust go. The reason for falling on Luo Jing.

The Luo family has always possessed strong political energy, able to escort humble scholars, such as Jia Yi, who can make soldiers who have no way out become marquises and worship generals, who want money and people, this is the world's soldiers The reason why people and noble officials are in awe of Rockwell.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Yuan family in Runan and the Hongnong Yang family were both generations of Sangongs. Why did the Yang family not have the status of the world leader of the gentry like the Yuan family?

It is because the biggest capital of the Yuan family in Runan is not the so-called Qingming of the four generations and three princes. That thing is worthless, because the Yuan family has promoted too many people through that position, and the interests of too many gentry and officials have nothing to do with it. The Yuan family is connected together, this is the way the Confucian scholars play.

Luo Shi's official position is the Protector of the Western Regions, but the Protector of the Western Regions in this world is not an ordinary official position.

It's the Northwest King!
The status may not be as noble as the Sangong, and the energy he can exert is not as high as the Sangong, but this is the real official of the frontier!

The population that Luoshi can directly control is as high as 50!

The population that can be recruited is as high as 300 million!

Many times in the Han Dynasty, since the princes and kings were divided, there has never been such a powerful local prince.

If it weren't for the fact that the Western Regions were not far from the Chang'an Mountain High Road, and the road was full of dangers, even the emperor would be restless.

Such a huge force not only added invisible help to the Luo family, but also a lot of people took care of Luo Shi.

In this world, the people who are most worried about Luo Shi's death are not his children and relatives, but the nobles of the Western Regions and the rulers of the Western Regions.

Because there is a saying in this world that people take tea to cool down. When Luo Shi was there, the court treated the Western Regions fairly well. But after Luo Shi died, the court's attitude towards the Western Regions and even Hexi would definitely change.

The attitude towards those princes, kings and lieutenants in the four counties of Hexi and the Western Regions will also change.

Luo Shi's letter to the emperor before his death was that he was worried that if he died, the emperor's rewards to the armies in Hexi and the Western Regions would be reduced.

After all, not only the Western Regions and Hexi armies attacked the Xiongnu this time, but also 11 troops also fought against the Huns on the grassland. It is very difficult to retreat safely under the siege of the army.

This is why the noble officials of the Western Regions knelt on the ground and wept after hearing Luo Shi's last words.

These people are only worried about the future, and there is only one person who is most anxious!

The Eastern King of Dawan almost wanted to confess Luo Shi as his father.

Not only the Eastern King of Dawan, but Liu Dan's son who is still living in this world, who has not been protected by Luo Shi?
Even if Luo Shi does not speak, as long as he is still in the Western Regions, he still holds the [-] troops in the Western Regions and Hexi, which is the greatest deterrent.

Even the emperor cannot ignore his will, let alone others.

But now that Luo Shi is dead, this layer of protective umbrella has leaked directly. My aunt is dead, and my uncle is also dead, so no one is protecting him.

Liu Xun is naturally very aware of these things. He is an emperor who is quite good at playing political tricks, and he is very familiar with various methods of using official position adjustments to deprive him of power.

After Luo Shi passed away, the biggest problem in front of him disappeared, and the rest were trivial matters.

He casually flipped through the battle reports, and then suddenly asked Huo Guang beside him, "Zimeng, who do you think should be appointed as the new Chief Protector of the Western Regions?"

It is impossible for Liu Xun to hand over the position of Chief Protector of the Western Regions to Luo Lan. The Luo family has already occupied the Western Regions for two generations. It has been 50 years since Emperor Xiaowu died. Rockwell's or Rockwell's?
Moreover, the Wushuang Marquis State is where the Protectorate of the Western Regions is located. This two-in-one system makes the Protectorate of the Western Regions even less like an imperial court.

Huo Guang was taken aback for a moment, and secretly groaned in his heart, why did he ask himself such a question?
He knew what the emperor was thinking, so he said without changing his face: "Your Majesty is wise and decisive, and I dare not speak nonsense.

It's just that the Western Regions are extremely important. As Marquis Wu Xiang said in his letter, the Western Regions are unstable and Guanzhong is uneasy. We should send available, trustworthy people who can handle the situation there. "

Liu Xun glanced at Huo Guang with a smile, and then said with a smile: "With Wushuang Marquis and Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions, the Duhu Mansion cannot get rid of the shackles.

In the past, the order of Dong'a Hou Kingdom was like an imperial decree. With the death of King Luowen, this privilege disappeared.

Now that the Wushuang Marquis has been in charge of the Western Regions for two consecutive generations, the matter is only three, and it should be over.

What's more, the Duhufu was stationed in the Wusun Kingdom at the beginning, in order to invade Wusun, and then attack Dawan, for the purpose of war.

Now the Wusun Kingdom's war goal is roughly completed, Dawan is surrounded by state-owned mountains, and the conquest cannot be completed overnight.

From this point of view, the position of the Protectorate of the Western Regions is too far to the west, which is not conducive to the great man's control over the entire Western Regions. I decided to move the position of the Protectorate of the Western Regions to the east. "

Huo Guang immediately understood that this was to disperse the power of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, making the Wushuang Marquis a normal guarding prince, not the uncrowned king before.

There is nothing wrong with the emperor's approach. At the moment when the Huns were wiped out, the situation in the Western Regions has changed, so the administrative system must change accordingly.

But in the Western Regions, that is not the land of the Central Plains, the emperor's brand is not easy to use, especially the temple army, this army is more like a righteous army, but also like a mercenary, the words of the Han court are not very effective.

Huo Guang didn't say anything. Anyway, these adjustments can't be completed overnight. The emperor of the Han Dynasty has never lived a long life. Only God knows how long the current emperor can live.

So he said directly: "Your Majesty is wise, the Western Region is extremely important. It can not only protect the safety of the Han, but also send out all the unstable people in the Han. It is very important to fully grasp the Western Region."

The so-called unstable people, such as refugees, local ruffians, victims of disasters, prisoners, beggars, and other people who are walking on the road to justice or have already been sentenced to law.

Liu Xun's strategy is to learn the great method of exile, and send these people to those inaccessible places to open up wasteland on time, which can not only reduce the pressure on the population of the Central Plains, but also open up more land for the great Han.

In the past 20 years, the effect has been quite good. In the absence of large-scale wars and large-scale famines, the contradiction between more people and less land has been effectively alleviated.

Liu Xun now completely controls the four counties in Hexi and the countries in the Western Regions in order to smoothly establish the countries in the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun patted Huo Guang on the shoulder and said, "You still understand me, Zimeng. The Western Regions are actually trivial matters. After all, there are a lot of local people there. If you want to completely capture the Western Regions, you may have to destroy the big man." I can do it, I definitely won't do it.

My real target is the four counties in Hexi, where there are fewer natives, and the Huns who once entrenched there have been expelled.

I want to move the population to the four counties in Hexi, but the population of the four counties is only one million in such a vast land, which is really too small!

I want to relocate another 200 million people there, so that the Han people can farm land and raise horses there. As long as the four counties in Hexi are in the hands of our Han people, even if we lose the Western Regions and Henan, our Han people can still form cavalry and fight against the enemy. All those lost lands were taken back. "

Huo Guang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, do you have a candidate for the Governor of the Western Regions in your heart?"

Having said so much, who will the chief guardian of the Western Regions choose?

All ideas must finally fall on the person who executes them. Can the person you choose be able to bear your ideas?

Huo Guang asked this question because based on the emperor's selection, he could judge the emperor's attitude towards the Western Regions and Hexi's old ministers, as well as his position towards the Wushuang Marquis.

This is very important to Huo Guang.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not answer, but put down the battle report in his hand, stood up, came to the screen, opened the map on it, and a map of the Western Regions appeared on it.

Huo Guang watched helplessly as the emperor picked up a pen, heavily marked a dot on the Wusun Kingdom, and then drew three lines, directly dividing the Wusun Kingdom into three parts.

Split the country!

The emperor saw that the Wusun Kingdom, which occupied more than half of the Yishui River Valley, was too big, and he wanted to directly divide it into three parts!
"I don't want to make a wedding dress for someone."
