Ancestor Blessing: I established a thousand-year-old family and established a feudal state, the beginning of kingship. Chapter 35: Mocking Luo Jing for recruiting troops to be sure, rather than directly launching a war. He has already sent envoys to the kingdom and princes to arrest them.

Those princes, kings and princes who broke the law.

The imperial court is still influential and powerful among the countries, and how could most of the princes and princes dare to rebel? This is no longer the strongest period for the princes' kingdom.

Those who have enjoyed glory and wealth without being tempered by life and death crises will become more and more timid, just like today's princes and princes of the Liu family and the princes of Che.

Luo Jing sat quietly in Luoyang City, preparing his army for war and waiting for the arrival of Prince Liu.

As expected, the imperial envoys arrived at the vassal states, holding Luo Jing's order in their hands. They first went to the Gonghou states that were enfeoffed at the core of the kingdom, and then both sides went straight to the capital of the kingdom. "Dong'ahou was ordered to suppress and pacify the kingdom.

Shandong, supervising the prefecture and country, you are here to follow Dong Ahou's order and come to capture him. He quickly surrendered and followed me to Luoyang to meet Dong Ahou and tell him all the secrets."

The princes and kings were horrified. They did not expect that Luo Jing would directly send people to arrest them.

Normal political struggles don't develop like this. They usually look for evidence first, and then plan for each other until they can kill people, then suddenly attack and win the battle.

However, Luo Jing sent people here with such a big fanfare, which made everyone hesitate. Some princes and kings were extremely frightened and said to the left and right: "Dong'ahou wants to harm me. If he is captured without mercy, life and death will depend on him."

In my hands, I seem to have no choice but to rebel now."

Then he was stopped by his ministers and sons.

Crazy!

Can’t you see how strong the military force of the imperial court is?

In the past, when all the big countries spanned several counties, they couldn't defeat them. Now there is only one county left, and the meritorious princes in the court are sharpening their swords, just waiting to make meritorious deeds.

If we join forces now, wouldn't we be giving them military honors?

Loyal ministers and filial sons are unwilling to see their master and father behave in such an unwise manner, while duplicitous and "filial sons" are unwilling to follow a ship that is doomed to sink and die.

So they all advised: "Your Majesty, this is exactly the strategy of the imperial court. If you raise an army this time, wouldn't it mean that you are committing a rebellion?

Dong Ahou is the son of King Luowen and a son of the Luo family with the stigmata. He will not deliberately frame you.

You go with these people now, and we will wait for news from you in the country.

If Dong'ahou really wants to take action, he will have to worry about us. At that time, I can still lead the kingdom's soldiers to rescue you.

Moreover, you are a member of the clan and a clan member of the Han clan. Dong Ahou is not qualified to hear your case and needs to report it to the Zong Zheng Mansion.

You can rest assured.”

Luo Jing will not make things out of thin air, nor will he do anything like this. This has never happened in a thousand years. This is something that everyone is sure of.

But the problem is that these princes and kings themselves are not very clean, so they naturally feel a little uneasy. It is a natural reaction when a mouse sees a cat or a robber sees a policeman.

In the end, under the comfort of these ministers and sons, most of the princes and kings sincerely chose to surrender.

…

Luoyang.

As princes and kings came to Luoyang one after another, perhaps because of the large number of people, these people gradually became arrogant.

"I am a descendant of Emperor Gao. I am the same generation as His Majesty today. I have to call him Emperor Brother. Although Dong'ahou has a noble status and great power, he is a foreign minister after all. This is our Liu family's family affairs. You should stay less involved.

For good."

Some princes and kings used Han laws to explain matters, "Dong'ahou, Emperor Gao established Zongzheng back then and stated that all royal family affairs would be handled by Zongzheng. What qualifications do you have to arrest a widow? It's not enough to call Zongzheng!"

"Dong'ahou, you are still in a high position at a young age. This is the legacy of King Luowen. Wouldn't it be nice to be a close minister of His Majesty in Chang'an City?

Why do you have to come to Shandong to wade through this muddy water?"

"Dong Ahou, if you don't let me go back now, even if you are a son of the Luo family, you cannot bear the charge of arresting a clan member without permission. If Duke Zhao violated the laws of this dynasty in order to save you.

The consequences would be disastrous."

There was even a stern tone in his voice when he said, "Dong Ahou, it is no longer the state of Zhou, but the world of my Liu family. I advise you to be careful in your words and deeds. Otherwise, even if you are the Luo family, will you

Can I always protect you?"

The clan members of the Han Dynasty were indeed a group of privileged people in the Han Dynasty. If they broke the law, they would be tried by the Zongzheng Mansion and then reported to the emperor for final decision.

Some of these princes and princes sounded admonishing, unwilling to confront Luo Jing, and some had really serious expressions. Especially when they said that Bang Zhou's world was no longer under his control, their heads seemed to be raised high.

Looking at these people's wonderful performances, Luo just wanted to laugh.

And he did indeed do so. In the hall, Luo Jing burst into laughter, with endless ridicule in his laughter.

This naked ridicule made some people even more angry. Just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by Luo Jing.

Luo Jing scolded sternly: "Princes and kings?

How dare the mere princes and kings act arrogantly in front of me?

Even if I am not a descendant of the Luo family, just because of my status in the Han Dynasty, I cannot be compared to you.

My father is King Luowen of the Han Dynasty, the regent and prime minister. He is inferior to one person, superior to ten thousand people, and ranks above all kings.

Even your father has to bow down and salute before my father. In terms of your contribution to the Han Dynasty, all of you kings combined are not as good as my father.

My mother is the eldest princess of Lu Yuan, the only legitimate daughter and eldest daughter of Taizu Emperor Gao and Empress Gao. In terms of her high status in the clan, who are you?

They are just a bunch of vicious dogs, and they dare to bark in front of me. It is really ridiculous.

I used to read ancient books and saw a sparrow asking how high Kunpeng could fly. Kunpeng said ninety thousand miles, but the sparrow said ninety thousand miles was probably not as high as the top of a branch.

When I meet people like you today, I realize that the ancients were really sincere and did not deceive me. There are people with such narrow vision.

You guys are still talking nonsense here."

What is your identity, what is my status, and you are competing with me here. In Luo Jing's opinion, this is simply a group of princes and kings who took the initiative to come to your door to be humiliated.

How many years?

How many years has it been since anyone came to compare family status with the Luo family?

Even a confident monarch like the First Emperor never compared himself with Luo Shi in this aspect, but directly tried to erase the traces of Luo Shi.

The princes and kings were already blushing and their foreheads even felt like smoke was coming out from Luo Jing's fierce rebuke and personal humiliation.

"Hou Dong'a! I am the king of princes!"

"You actually humiliate me like this?"

Luo Jing said again, "When my ancestors divided the feudal lords, the ancestors of the Liu family were not yet born. You are barking here. If you are not humiliating yourself, so what?"

Now the princes and kings have completely ceased their activities. If Luo Jing goes on to find out the genealogy of their old Liu family, if it is finally found out that the old Liu family is still the retainer of the Luo family, then even Emperor Gao's face will be disrespected.

Can't get up.

The First Emperor may not have been embarrassed in this regard at that time. The Qin State was personally gifted by Luo Xuan Gong, and he also left a lot of resources in the old Fenghao land, and also allocated a lot of resources from Luoyi, so that he could survive the competition among the Ying clans.

Winning the battle is a history that Qin cannot erase.

"Dong Ahou, what's the use of always remembering the past?

At that time, the Shang Dynasty ruled the world, but was eventually defeated by the Zhou Dynasty. A large number of merchants and nobles became slaves. Now the Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed. This is indeed the world of my Han Dynasty.

We are now just like the concubines during the Zhou Dynasty. The patriarchal clan is still the rule set by the great King Su. As a descendant of King Su, do you want to violate it?

It’s better to ask Zong Zheng to come to the trial.”

Since Luo Jing cannot be intimidated by his status, then let's go back to the patriarchal system. Moreover, this is Han law, so Luo Jing can't openly despise Han law.

If he dares to do this, his only fate will be to be taken back to Zhaocheng by Duke Zhao and never come out again.

Everyone thought that Luo Jing had no choice now, but they didn't expect Luo Jing to sneer and say: "Only the Zong Zheng Mansion can try you?

Open your eyes wide open and see what this is?"

Luo Jing stretched out his hand and took out a token made of fine jade and a small jade seal. When the princes and kings saw it, they felt like they were struck by lightning.

In an instant, infinite fear arose in my heart!

————

Luo Jing only relied on a warrant, which did not even come from the emperor, to capture most of the princes and kings and bring them to Luoyang City. Many historians have ignored this event, but this is actually the transition from the feudal system to the central government in ancient times.

A landmark event in the transformation of the centralized system.

This incident showed that the central court was completely crushing the local princes and kings, both in terms of strength and name.

The tug-of-war between the central and local governments that existed during the Zhou Dynasty is gone forever. After the initial foundation of the Qin Dynasty, the centralized system ushered in its heyday in the Han Dynasty.
