Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1007

[Chapter 1000: Dissatisfaction]

“What’s the explanation for the dissatisfaction? Whose world is this? Do you still need your and my consent for the emperor to appoint the chief minister of the cabinet? Don’t forget what the emperor said. We can only take what he gives us. We can’t take what he doesn’t give us.” Go grab it.”

Luo Quan blew his beard and stared. This Luo Hong is his son, and this Luo Xin is also his son. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh.

But even though the empire has changed to this day, the concepts of these legitimate sons and concubines have not changed much. They are people from Xiao Wenxuan’s era, and they are even less likely to easily let go of the concepts that have affected their lives.

The ideas promoted by the empire are still accepted relatively quickly by children who have just entered elementary school.

Luo Hong stood up unsteadily, with red eyes, “Dad, from Chang’an to Qingzhou, my son followed the king of Wei, then the king of Yan, and then the king of Zhao. Even if there is no credit, the hard work is still there. What’s Zhu Sansi’s credit? He just went to fight Yaksa. Do you think the child can’t feel aggrieved? The child is over 40 this year. Now he can’t be promoted to the commander of the military region, and his career is over. “

Luo Quan opened his mouth to say something, but finally he sighed and said: “This is all my father’s fault. I should have let you come to Qingzhou back then. In this way, this military region commander will be yours. Luo Hong, the eldest son, really owes you a lot. “

Luo Hong was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time. He sighed deeply, “Father, should this be over? , then the court officials headed by Pang Yukun are paying less and less attention to us.”

Luo Quan frowned and said warily: “Then what do you want to do?”

“Fei Tong was with the child a few days ago. While drinking, he mentioned that his eldest son was not yet married, and the implication was that he wanted to marry our Luo family. The boy thought that his little girl Susu was also sixteen this year, and it was the time for marriage. If it happened, it would be a good thing. “Luo Hong said loudly.

“Fei Tong? Are you talking about Fei Ge’s nephew Fei Tong?”

“Exactly, if the Luo family and the Fei family marry, with the strength of the two families, the emperor will have to pay attention to us, father, this is also for us, the Luo family. For the sake of our descendants, it was good for us to work together with the emperor in the past, but now that the country is stable, it is time to think about ourselves. Even if the emperor is nostalgic, Pang Yukun and others may not be able to tolerate us. “

Luo Hong .

He continued, Luo Quan is old, and the position of head of the Luo family will be his immediately, and now he is thinking like a member of the Luo family.

Luo Quan was a little hesitant. He knew very well that Xiao Ming was not Xiao Wenxuan, or even as easy to figure out as any king in history.

He was not sure what repercussions this would cause, but through the ages, it was always right to be of the same family. He, the heir of the Luo family, could not marry an ordinary girl, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with this marriage with the Fei family.

Seeing Luo Quan’s hesitation, Luo Hong said directly: “What are you still hesitating about, father? This chief minister Pang is much smarter than father. It is said that he intends for his son to marry the granddaughter of General Niu Ben.”

Hearing this, Luo Quan closed his eyes .

Eyes, everything that happened now made Niu Ben right. Because of this, the two of them chose to retire at this juncture and no longer interfere with the affairs of the court.

In fact, he knew very well that the conflicts in the court would break out sooner or later, and the more stable the country was, the faster it would break out, especially after the defeat of the barbarians, the deep-rooted threat from the north was gone.

But at the same time, the will of everyone to unite and fight for the country is gone, and what is left are only the contradictions that have been covered up during the rapid development of the past ten years.

Now every important official is looking for his own position, whether he is neutral, or chooses to work together to make trouble, or to go alone.

“The position of the head of the Luo family belongs to you. You have to make your own choice. But there is one thing. The court is a place of profit. It is understandable that you would fight for profit. The emperor is also happy to see the ministers fighting. , so that his throne will be more stable, but there is one thing, you must not do anything that touches the imperial power,” Luo Quan said sternly.

“Father, I don’t have the guts. I can’t do this as the commander of the military region. Isn’t it okay for me to find a good place for my daughter?”

Luo Hong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one and started puffing away.

Luo Quan frowned even more when he saw this. Power is enough to change a person. Now this sentence is deeply reflected on Luo Hong.

He understands that his eldest son is a man who likes to get into trouble, and is particularly obsessed with power. Over the years, he has fought all over the country in order to catch up with his younger brother, but in the end his efforts came to nothing. Perhaps this is what he lost. root cause.

From this point, he seemed to understand why the emperor chose Luo Xin instead of Luo Hong as the commander of the military region.

The emperor’s secret guards were spread all over the country, and it was impossible for him to have some knowledge of important generals. Perhaps Luo Hong’s persistence in power made Xiao Ming choose Luo Xin.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Luo Hong again and said, “Remember, you are responsible for the lives of thousands of members of the Luo family. Don’t harm others because of your own gains and losses.”

After that, he turned and left. Now This is a world that belongs to young people, and old people like him should give up their positions. After all, he can’t accompany these young people forever.

Royal study room.

Xiao Ming was reading telegrams one after another. Since the emergence of wired telegrams, he specially set up a telegraph room in the side hall next to the imperial study.

In this way, the secret guard’s information can be passed to him at any time.

During this period, wired telegraph was laid out very quickly. Now the lines from Qingzhou to Dengzhou in the east, Youzhou in the south, Jizhou in the west, and Xuzhou in the south have been laid. It is estimated that most cities in Jiangbei will be able to have telegraph connections by the end of the year.

Of course, he handed over this convenient information transmission system to the secret guards immediately.

“Your Majesty, and this, the commanders of the six military regions are now in Lu Fei’s mansion.” Qian Dafu sent a translated telegram to Xiao Ming.

“These guys don’t know how to keep a low profile. Someone will probably impeach them soon.” Xiao Ming said helplessly.

Qian Dafu echoed, “Yes, with six military region commanders together, why do others think they are going to rebel?”

“That’s not possible. Zhu Sansi happened to be passing by.” Xiao Ming picked up another telegram, which was written clearly.

Then he picked up another telegram, “It said that Zhu Sansi and Luo Xin had a verbal conflict. It seems that I was right to choose Zhu Sansi.”

“Aren’t there five more people?” Qian Dafu asked road.

Xiao Ming laughed and said, “That’s right. It’s not normal for them to get together. If they don’t get together, it shows that they have a tacit understanding of cooperation.”
