Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1108

[Chapter 1098 Refutation]

Yizhou.

Luo Hong looked at the telegram from Qingzhou with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

Among the many cities in the empire, Yizhou, a city located in the land of Bashu, was relatively late to receive telegraph communication.

Just in order to achieve the accessibility of the empire’s news, the Telecommunications Department still spent a lot of effort to pass the telegram here.

“Ge Yiren has been arrested.” Luo Xin handed a telegram from the Luo family to Luo Hong, and then picked up another telegram. “It’s strange that the emperor suddenly asked the commander of the military region to return to Qingzhou to attend the military council.”

“You can’t go back to Qingzhou. The emperor has clearly set up a Hongmen banquet waiting for you to go.” Luo Hong said firmly.

Luo Xin couldn’t help laughing when he heard this, and he said: “Brother, what are you talking about? Why did the emperor give me the Hongmen Banquet?”

Since coming to Yizhou, Luo Hong first visited Yizhou for a while, but he has not yet Mention the relationship between him and Ge Yiren to Luo Xin.

Now a telegram made him understand that he had no way out now. Once Ge Yiren confessed, he would not be able to escape the sanctions of the empire’s laws.

Seeing that Luo Hong’s expression was very bad, Luo Xin asked again: “Brother, what happened?”

Taking a deep breath, Luo Hong said, “Do you know why Ge Yiren was arrested?”

“Maybe it was with those who opposed the emperor. “Luo Xin also dislikes Ge Yiren, so he was very happy to learn that Ge Yiren was arrested.

Luo Hong nodded, “You are right. Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, his actions have become more and more excessive. He did not consider the wealthy nobles who once made the country for him, but repeatedly issued decrees to restrict our rights. Now… What’s more, it has completely cut off the career of the nobles, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people.”

Luo Xin looked a little surprised and said, “Even so, the emperor is also for the long-term development of the empire in the future, eldest brother, Times have changed. Would our soldiers use Han-style rifles and cannons more than ten years ago? Besides, the emperor only asked the nobles to restrain themselves and not to overstep the laws of the empire

. Hearing this, Luo Hong hated iron for not becoming steel. Ge Yiren was suddenly arrested, which made him a little impatient.

Now that Xiao Ming’s telegram has arrived, it is clear that he is worried that Luo Xin will rebel with him. In this way, he has been exposed, and now he must make a desperate move.

“Today he can arbitrarily make decrees that are not beneficial to us, and in the future he can arbitrarily throw us into prison. Have you never thought of restricting his rights and letting the world discuss state affairs?” Luo Hong is already quite straightforward. white.

Luo Xin was still smiling at first, but his expression suddenly changed after Luo Hong said these words, “Brother, this is a serious crime of decapitation. How can you talk nonsense? The emperor is the emperor. Without him, would the empire be possible today? “

You’d better not mention the restriction of the monarch’s power. As far as I’m concerned, the emperor’s decision has never been wrong.”

“He is good now, so he won’t be wrong in the future. Do you want to see today’s empire fall apart because of his mistakes?” ? Let me ask you, after a hundred years as emperor, will Xiao Yi be able to shoulder this important task? ” Luo Hong asked.

“Xiao Yi is the prince. He has grown up beside the emperor since he was a child. Naturally, he has continued the emperor’s behavior. No matter how bad he is, he will not be a fool.”

“What about Xiao Yi’s heirs? Who can guarantee that the one who will always sit on the throne is “Ming Jun?”

“Does it mean that if you limit the power of the king, then there will be no faint king?” Luo Xin said angrily.

“At least when the emperor is ignorant, we can stop him instead of being helpless. Luo Xin, the empire belongs to all of us, not just the emperor.” Luo Hong said confusingly.

Luo Xin shook his head, “Brother, what’s wrong with you? Who told you what you said? It’s simply nonsense. The emperor is the head of the family in the empire. Only the head of the family can keep things in order. If so many The nobles have decision-making power, and there is no guarantee that they will not become the spokesmen of their respective forces in the court. At that time, they will undermine each other as long as things are not in their interests, and then the empire will really be over.”

“Luo Xin, you. He was the one who was deceived by Xiao Ming. All he wanted was for Xiao Jiayong to be king. Why! ” Luo Hong blurted out.

Luo Xin’s heart sank. He remembered Luo Hong’s expression when he saw Ge Yiren being arrested and couldn’t help but said: “Brother, tell me the truth, are you and Ge Yiren involved?”

When he said this, Luo Xin’s tone Already quite harsh.

“Now, I won’t hide it from you. Ge Yiren and I have secretly discussed the matter of restricting the imperial power. When the time is right, we will gather the powerful families and the army to force the emperor to accept our advice. But I didn’t expect that Ge Yiren would Something unexpected happened to Yiren, but it’s not too late, we still have a chance, Luo Xin, as long as you and I express our support for restricting imperial power, the rich and powerful families in the world will respond one after another. “Luo Hong just arrests you. Holding Luo Xin’s hand, he looked like a crazy demon.

Shaking Luo Hong away, Luo Xin’s eyes were full of disbelief, “Brother, are you crazy? You are now the head of the Luo family. By doing this, you are leading the Luo family into an abyss! I will not agree to it. “

“You have no choice now!” There was a hint of coldness in Luo Hong’s smile, “Don’t you understand now? The emperor summoned the commanders of the six military regions this time to test you. The emperor is already doubting us. If you return to Qingzhou, you will be dismissed immediately. You and I are both members of the Luo family, and no one can run away.”

Luo Xin’s face turned pale when he heard this.

Luo Hong continued: “Also, have you forgotten that Zhu Sansi? Who is he? Why can he be one of the six commanders? How many years have you and I followed the emperor on the battlefield, and how many years has he followed? Since then? Can’t you see the absurdity of the emperor in this matter?”

Luo Xin really had a problem with Zhu Sansi. He didn’t look down on Zhu Sansi, but simply felt that Zhu Sansi climbed too fast, making them seem insignificant.

Seeing the hesitation on Luo Xin’s face, Luo Hong felt happy and said proudly: “If we succeed this time, from now on, such ridiculous things will never happen again. My brother is right. If Xiao Ming insists on his own way, There is also a third prince in Yizhou, Xiao Zhen. According to his age, Xiao Zhen should be the successor. “

After hearing this, Luo Xin looked at Luo Hong for a while and sighed, “Brother, I know that the emperor did not appoint you as one of the commanders, which makes you dissatisfied, but now what you are doing is not only treason, but also It will also bring the Luo family into a place of eternal destruction. Also, why do you think the emperor established a long history in the army? I can guarantee that once I announce my support for restricting the monarch’s power, the soldiers will immediately mutiny, and Huang Changshi will lead The soldiers arrested you and me. This Southwest Army is full of students who graduated from Qingzhou Army Academy. They have their own ideas and are not generals of our Luo family. Since they entered the academy, they have only been loyal to one person, and that is Your Majesty, brother, I can’t help but feel sorry for the Luo family. “

After a pause, he said, “Come here, take Luo Hong into custody!”
