Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 629
The high-ranking officials and nobles of the entire Han court knelt under the high platform, and the emperor's head was placed on top of the sacrifice.

A ceremony to offer sacrifices to the emperor is being held in the palace.

"Most High and Holy Heaven:

The world is in decline, Li Shu is in exile, Jiao respects your order, and comes to the world to save the Han Dynasty from defeat and continue the destiny of the Han Dynasty.

However, the kings of the Han Dynasty were fatuous and cruel, and the party ruled the world, so that loyal and upright officials disappeared from the temple.

The officials of the Han Dynasty were more greedy and cruel than tigers, leopards and wolves. They fought against dissidents and rejected loyalty.

Under the two phases, the destiny of the Han Dynasty seems to be declining, and it is irreversible.

The minister was in trouble in the world, and he received this destiny, so he cheered up.

It is difficult to save the Han court, but it is easy to perish the Han court.

Today, the head of the emperor of the Han court is sealed here as a sacrificial offering.

I don't dare to be greedy for merit, I can only respectfully carry out the orders of the emperor. I only hope that the emperor will send down a new lord of destiny as soon as possible. "

Luo Xiao stood very high, so his voice could be heard far away.

Now he stands at the highest place among the world, so the whole world can hear his voice.

Luo Xiao followed every step step by step.

From defeating the Mandate of Heaven above the Nine Heavens, to losing one battle after another, causing the entire ruling class of the Han Court to fall into self-doubt, and then using the emperor's head to sacrifice to the Emperor Heaven, puncturing the sense of sacredness attached to the Emperor, Finally, tell the world.

Never underestimate the power of words.

This sacrificial article is extremely useful, and those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty will always continue to be loyal.

But those who have doubts in their hearts, or even have other ambitions, but are restrained, can use this one thing to get rid of the restraints and get up as they please.

……

In Luoyang City, groups of soldiers of the Taiping Army were parading through the streets of Luoyang City holding the heads of those officials high, and broadcasting in real time who the heads were.

Not all ministers were paraded through the streets, such as Lu Zhi, who committed suicide and died, was sent back to the mansion that night, so that the family could settle down.

Some ministers were not dead, others committed suicide, and some ministers were decapitated. This obvious difference in treatment caused all kinds of gossip in Luoyang City to fly all over the sky.

"I heard that the Taiping Army is doing justice for the heavens, so these ministers who have been decapitated must be those treacherous ministers who have harmed the country and the people."

"Didn't you hear what the Taiping army said, the emperor was also beheaded, and he was offering sacrifices to Huangtian in the palace. The voice just now was made during the sacrifice to Huangtian."

"These ministers and ministers are treated the same as the emperor. They must not be good people. After all, the emperor is a fool."

These remarks spread wildly among the common people, especially after the death of these ministers, the emperor's notorious reputation was immediately contaminated by these ministers.

"The head of the ten servants has arrived!"

I don't know who shouted, the city was silent for a while, and then there was a boundless curse, "These traitors are finally dead.

Beloved, you can finally rest in peace. "

This is a scene that has never appeared before when parading the heads of public ministers. From scholars to the most ordinary people, everyone can't wait to eat his flesh and blood. The poor reputation of the ten permanent servants has done so many evils that it almost drains the water of the Luohe River It is also impossible to wash it.

"The Taiping Army must be doing justice for the sky."

The people's simple concept of justice kills the faint king, treacherous ministers, and ten permanent servants, but spares those ministers who have always had a clean and good reputation.

More importantly, since the Taiping Army entered Luoyang City, everyone thought that the Taiping Army would raid the entire city, burn, kill, and loot.

Unexpectedly, after the Taiping army entered the city, it could not be said that they had not committed any crimes, but they basically had no contact with the people in the city. They just let the people go out to watch the parade on time according to Shangfeng's order.

These actions of the Taiping Army not only reassured the people of Luoyang, but even made some scholars completely change their minds.

In fact, the Taiping Army is of course not a high-spirited army. The soldiers below have long wanted to start a robbing, but they were suppressed by the Qu commanders, and the thoughts of the Qu commanders were blocked by Luo Xiao.

But this was not done by Luo Xiao on his own initiative, but by the commanders of the Taiping Army who figured out Luo Xiao's thoughts and did it themselves. Of course, it was very in line with Luo Xiao's thoughts.

In the streets and alleys of Luoyang, the Taiping army was recording the reactions in the city, and then reported to Luo Xiao layer by layer.

In the imperial palace, after the ceremony of sacrificing to the emperor was completed, the Taiping army of the brigade began to enter and take over the yamen in Luoyang. How could it be enough to kill only a few officials?

Ten permanent servants, ministers, clan relatives and relatives, everyone is the leader of a faction, and there are many people under his command who are not qualified to enter the palace but have done all kinds of bad things. These are the targets of the Taiping Army to clean up.

The common people in Luoyang watched helplessly as a family of dignitaries were taken away and taken to the palace, and the Taiping Army accepted reports of those local hooligans who worked for the dignitaries and oppressed the good.

……

There is a lot of commotion outside the palace, but the palace is peaceful and peaceful.

Qu Shuai surrounded Luo Xiao, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally Zhang Yan, who was the most respected, stepped forward and asked a question that everyone was very concerned about.

"Daoist, the Han court has already perished, and those princes who fled are just waiting to die in front of you.

As the saying goes, the world cannot live without a master, when are you going to ascend the throne and become emperor? "

As soon as Zhang Yan said this, all the commanders of the Taiping Army looked at Luo Xiao excitedly.

At the beginning of the uprising, no one thought that this day would come, but after the Luoyang City was broken, this idea suddenly burned in the hearts of everyone like a flame.

If Taiping Dao can really win the world, then these people are the founding ministers.

Henkel’s founding ministers, the worst ones have enjoyed a hundred years of wealth, as long as they are not too pitiful, they have lasted for 200 years. If it weren’t for Wang Mang’s chaos, Emperor Guangwu reopened the world, and it could continue.

Look at the seven families with five surnames in the Kanto region, they are great nobles for 300 years!
Who wouldn't want their family to be a part of it?

Then the excited Taiping Army Qu Shuai felt that the Taoist master's expression was very strange, because there was no excitement at all.

This made them all a little uneasy. Although the Taoist master has always been calm except when leading the army, this is an opportunity to become the master of the world!

Why doesn't Taoist seem to be interested at all?

"Taoist, you..."

Someone asked in a low voice, opened his mouth but didn't know what he should ask.

Luo Xiao stood up from the hall, walked to the gate of the hall, looked at the clear sky and white clouds, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. The liquidation in Luoyang City was not over yet, and Commander Qu of the Taiping Army couldn't wait to let it go. Take the throne yourself.

Luo Xiao didn't blame them for being a group of normal ordinary people, who worked desperately to conquer the world, not just for enjoyment.

"After the Lord of the Dao takes the throne, what do you want?
Beauty?

There are countless noble ladies in Luoyang City, each of which was beyond your reach. There are many maids and concubines in this palace.

money?

After the liquidation in the city is over, the Daoist will open the treasury, and then give all the properties of the ministers' homes to you and the soldiers of the Taiping Army. There is no need to go to the whole city to demand those ordinary people.

If you only want these, I can give them to you now. I have made contributions to the world by accompanying me all the way from Jizhou. This is what you deserve. "

Something is wrong!
It's really not right!
At this moment, even the dullest Shuai Qu felt that the Taoist master's state was wrong, and it didn't look like he was about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor at all.

Why is it that not only is there no half excitement, but there is also a feeling of confessing the funeral?

"Taoist, don't you want to be called emperor?"

This was the only reason everyone could think of, but as soon as the words came out, they wanted to hit themselves. How could anyone in this world not want to be an emperor?
The last one who didn't want to be the emperor was Su Wang Shanghuang?

Throughout the ages, there is only one case that really rejected the easy-to-obtain position of emperor.

"It seems that even you don't believe it. Our Taiping Dao is ordered by the heavens to break the Han court."

Luo Xiao turned around and looked at the bewildered Taiping Army Commander Qu, "I told you a long time ago that the fate of the Taiping Road is to crush the big men, and now this fate has been fulfilled, and my mission is over. It turns out that you never believed it?"

Luo Xiao's words stunned all the commanders in the Taiping Army. Could such an illusory thing as destiny be real?

Along the way, I have never seen you call the wind and rain like King Zhaosheng, nor have you been assisted by heaven and rain like Emperor Guangwu, so why do you obey the orders of heaven?
Guan Hai was such a majestic man, but his eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Master Taoist, the theory of destiny is so illusory, and half of the people who have traveled a hundred miles have reached this point. If you don't ascend the throne, will you still have to retire? ?
It doesn't matter to us people, but how can you?

Does destiny only allow me to break the destiny of the Han court, but does not give me the destiny to sit in the world?
Then what is the purpose of such a destiny?

Man will conquer heaven, as long as you are the emperor, if the emperor has any blame, I will bear it all by myself.

For you, I am willing to die on the spot in this palace. "

As soon as Guan Hai said this to all the handsome men, the crowd became excited and said: "Master, I am also willing, please ascend the throne, how can this world be short of you?
If you go to the world and ask, as long as our Taiping army has passed, who would not want you to be enthroned?

Are the hearts of the people in the world not as good as the will of heaven? "

There was a trace of unspeakable emotion in Luo Xiao's eyes, he had a heart of all people, he felt the beating of his heart, and looked at the handsome men.

The commanders fell silent, because they all sensed that the Taoist master had something to say.

"I'm going to die!"

Boom boom boom!
In the clear sky, suddenly several thunderclaps resounded over the palace!

Everyone in Luoyang City was startled by the sudden sound of thunder, but no matter how loud the thunder was, it was not one-tenth of the thunder in Qu Shuai's mind.

They couldn't believe what they heard just now, Zhang Yan turned his head to look at Guan Hai with difficulty and said stiffly: "Did I hear wrong just now?"

Guan Hai knelt down on the ground. He was obviously a majestic man, but he burst into tears in an instant, "Master, you must have lied just now. How could you die suddenly?"

A group of people knelt in front of Luo Xiao for a moment, and everyone was unwilling to hear what they heard. Although the lifespan of martial arts experts is indeed a little shorter than the normal lifespan of ordinary people, the age of the Taoist master is not considered Da, how could he die?

"This is the price for breaking the fate of the Han Dynasty. The century-old national fortune of the Han Dynasty was broken in one day. How could it be possible without paying some price?"

Luo Xiao said calmly, but said in his heart: "Your truly great and virtuous teacher has already given his own life, plus the life of a Taoist master, it's not a loss."

Luo Xiao's confirmation made all Qu Shuai feel desperate, and lost all direction at once, and didn't even know what he should do.

"I can still live for a while, so don't worry too much, I will find a good way out for you when the work is done in Luoyang City.

After this period of training, you are all rare talents.

I want to choose some innocent gentry for you to marry, and then each of you will lead the army to the county where the gentry is located.

After I die, you will support your own troops, be your own vassals, keep your land in peace, and don't worry about it.

In such a chaotic world, one should bow down and keep one's points, waiting for the right time, and when the time is right, take refuge in the princes who have a future and can compete for the world.

It's a pity that you don't have any talents who can lead the overall situation, otherwise the Taiping Dao will be handed over to you, and you may be able to compete for the position of the future emperor.

Now we can only disperse, you are all from the Taiping Dao, you can watch and help each other, no matter which princes you are, they will attach great importance to you. "

Hearing that Luo Xiao had planned their future path for them, everyone felt a little relieved in their grief. From the words, it could be seen that the Taoist master knew that his life was not long, but he just kept hiding it from people like himself. .

But in retrospect, how can you not hide it?

From the beginning of the Taipingdao uprising between states and counties, these people have embarked on a road of no return, and now this is the best ending.

At least none of the supreme emperors accused them of treason, at least they jumped up and entered the chessboard of the world.

Thinking of this, Guan Hai kowtowed again, weeping and saying: "Master!"

Just after comforting the handsome men, Luo Xiao felt that his emotions were a little bit more. He turned around and looked at the blue sky again, thinking about what else he didn't do?
----

Whether it is ancient or modern, there is no lack of regret for Zhang Jiao's sudden death, and they attribute the reason for the disintegration of the Taiping Road to this. All of Shuai's arrangements were based on the premise that Zhang Jiao would not proclaim himself emperor. In other words, Zhang Jiao had already learned the news that he was dying. As a premise, many doubts have been reasonably explained. —— "The Biography of Zhang Jiao"
