Luo Zhao transmigrated to become Ji Fa's younger brother, King Wu of Zhou, and was ordered to act as regent. Starting from the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties, he established a family that,...
Chapter 1004 16. Go and defeat them!
Facing the surging crowd outside Zhaocheng, Luo Chengyun always sat quietly in the city, day after day, watching the willow tree in the courtyard gradually withering. The fallen leaves in the yard covered the floor, and no one cleaned it. He walked past, and the withered willow leaves with dew stuck to his feet, as if he was stepping on the world, a world that was gradually withering and heading towards doomsday.
The direct surrender and disintegration of the armies of the two provinces frightened and shocked the New School members in Luoyang to the extreme, and also made the people of the world see the weakness and powerlessness of the New School members in Luoyang. All knowledgeable people realized one thing, that is, except for the direct troops bound by the interests of the New School members, the other miscellaneous troops were completely useless to the Luo family and would even be thrown away for free.
The eyes of the whole world were on the newly restored Zhaocheng. More and more people gathered outside Zhaocheng. More and more people wanted to see Luo Shi. Their status was getting higher and higher, their influence was getting bigger and bigger, and the people they represented were getting more diverse. But Luo Shi never responded. No one knew what Luo Shi was thinking. Did Luo Shi really not want to be emperor? But the Su King had already sent down the oracle, and Luo Shi could not go against the Su King's opinion.
Finally, it was Lu Chang who found out about Luo's intentions through Lu Qing. Among those who came to petition Luo to be king, there were too many old people, all of whom Luo looked down upon and even wanted to liquidate. These people's petition only made it more and more impossible for Luo to appear. It was not until this moment that Lu Chang suddenly realized that he was not so smart after all and actually ignored this point. Fortunately, it is not too late to correct it now. After getting the news, he quickly began to contact new friends.
With Lu Chang's secret efforts and the news secretly spread by the Luo family, many people in simple clothing came to the outside of Zhaocheng.
Their faces were reserved and looked very nervous, but there was determination in their eyes. They came from all directions, but at this moment they had the same goal. They came with the expectations and hopes of countless people.
They sat together spontaneously, with deep hatred in everyone's eyes.
"Before I set out to Zhaocheng, I told everyone that if I couldn't ask the Luo family to come out, I would throw myself directly into the Yellow River and let the surging eastward current swallow my body, because I have no face to go west again!"
"I have seen too many tragic scenes in the world, and every time it breaks my heart. I used to be a member of the New Learning Party, and I also opposed the imperial system of the Tang Dynasty. But how can I tolerate the world like this now? They betrayed everything, they really deserve to die!"
"If this is the world promised by the New School, I say enough is enough. I don't need such a world. My child died in my arms along with his mother before he could see the beauty of this world. My anger can drown everything in the world. My rage can burn everything!"
"This is a world without faith. When people no longer have awe for the Supreme Being, they lose all scruples, thus creating the cruel world we have today. Let everything return to the sun, let everything return to the gaze of the Su Wang!"
"This is not the future of the Chinese nation. King Su has taught us for so many years. Is this the world we want in the end? Absolutely not!
Aren’t we gathered here at this moment because we still remember the teachings of King Su in our hearts and want to initiate the final judgment on those lost and fallen people?
We came here, we gathered here, isn't it just to enter Zhaocheng, lift up the Luo family, serve the throne of the Su King, and return to Luoyang?"
They have their own identities, but now they are all gathered here with the same idea.
The gate of Zhaocheng opened, and then groups of people walked into Zhaocheng. When the heavy bronze gate opened, the people waiting outside the city seemed to see a bright and dazzling light shining through it, as if they had seen heaven.
They met Luo Chengyun, the patriarch of the Luo family. The patriarch of the Luo family was wearing the most magnificent clothes. The phoenix seemed to be burning in a raging fire, and it also seemed to be alive, making people dazed. Yes, the destiny of the phoenix has been awakened, and perhaps it is the one on the clothes of the patriarch of the Luo family.
After everyone had taken their seats, there were hurried footsteps. They looked up and saw that every man and woman who came in was as radiant as a god, with handsome looks to the extreme. The peerless beauties that were rarely seen outside appeared in groups here. Everyone was wearing black or white clothes, and the clothes were embroidered with different kinds of phoenixes. Everyone had a calm face, and the holy marks on their brows gathered together, competing to shine. Since the phoenix's destiny returned to the world, the brilliance of the holy marks has become more and more dazzling, and the bright red seems like the thickest cinnabar.
The atmosphere in the hall seemed to freeze in an instant, and most people's hands began to tremble with nervousness. After presenting the petitions in their hands, they hurried back to their seats and sat up straight. Luo Chengyun and a group of Luo family disciples flipped through the petitions that were presented. After a long time, Luo Chengyun put down the last petition and sat up straight again. All the Luo family disciples looked at the patriarch.
Luo Chengyun's face did not show any unnecessary expression. He said calmly, "I already know why you are here. I have something to say to you. This central hall where we are located was the place where the princes of the Han Dynasty discussed the final expedition against Emperor Li of Han a thousand years ago.
Today, I am here to accept your petitions, and what this means should be self-evident.”
Luo Chengyun did not beat around the bush at all, his words were just like the sun in the sky, coming straight and going straight. The people below were all surprised, and some almost fainted from excitement. No one would have thought that Luo, who had never expressed his opinion before, would say these words so directly.
Luo Chengyun continued, "What kind of image do the New School Party have? In the past, when we fought against tyrants, we always contacted the nobles, because the emperor was responsible for the nobles. Now the New School Party may be elected by the people, so the power to position the New School Party lies in the people.
If the people reject the new school party, this is the self-rescue that the king will be happy about. I am very happy to meet you today. Facts have proved that no matter when, there will always be people like you who are courageous, have backbone, and are not afraid of life and death. "
Coming to Zhaocheng is not an easy thing, especially now that the two sides have completely torn their faces apart. The New School Party has gone completely crazy and is carrying out assassinations and massacres. Many people will not see the moment when the New School Party fails. In this situation, it takes a lot of courage to dare to come directly to Zhaocheng to contact the Luo family. Everyone who can sit here can be called a hero and a martyr.
After Luo Chengyun finished speaking, some people in the audience began to cry. There were indeed many people with tragic lives here, some had their relatives killed, some had lost everything. The New School Party plundered both internally and externally. This was their way of survival, and they had accumulated too much hatred among the people.
"Please ask King Luo to come out of seclusion, ask the Luo family to come out of seclusion and save the world!"
"Tens of millions of people are willing to enter the Luo River and carry the tripod for the Luo family to fulfill the Luo family's three vows. I only hope that the Luo family can come out and save the world!"
"I only hope that the Luo family will follow the teachings of the Su King, revitalize the Chinese nation, and fight against the tyrant. We are willing to serve you like dogs and horses."
One by one, the voices sounded like calls from ancient times, as if carrying the wishes of hundreds of millions of people. Each voice echoed around the pillars in the hall, overlapping each other, as if millions of people were speaking together and cutting into their hearts.
The Luo family disciples, who had hardly spoken since entering the hall except for reading the petition, bowed at the same time. All of them prostrated themselves on the ground, "We only hope to follow the teachings of the Su King and revitalize the Chinese nation. Now is the time!"
Luo Chengyun finally stood up, he straightened his clothes, smoothed out all the wrinkles, and then walked through the people sitting in the hall. He walked all the way to the door of the hall and looked at the sun in the sky. What he was actually looking at was above the nine heavens, where the phoenix was crying and circling in the blue sky.
Is now the right moment?
Are these people in the hall the people of the world?
He pondered, turned around, and said proudly in a low but firm voice: "Dear guests from all over the world, please write down all the resentment and anger in your hearts in Zhaocheng, just like the ancient sages did, just like King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou of Shang, just like King Zhao attacked the tyrannical Qin, just like the princes of Jingnan attacked Emperor Li of Han, just like our ancestors attacked Emperor Yang of Sui, write down the crimes of the New School Party, just like we attacked those cruel tyrants in ancient times, tell the whole world, call on the whole world!"
boom!
When Luo Chengyun's voice fell, everyone in the hall stood up suddenly. They looked at Luo Chengyun with shining eyes. Some people couldn't help but say loudly: "Honorable King Luo, please allow me to pay you my most sincere respect and gratitude. The whole world will thank you. You will be the greatest Su Wang's agent."
Some people even cried and said to someone unknown: "Did you see that? The Luo family will once again take up their swords and lead the people of the world to resist tyranny. This time we will have a glorious victory, and your heroic souls can rest in peace."
Some people even couldn't believe their ears. They shouted loudly: "Honorable King Luo, please let me hear your voice again. I, a humble person, simply can't believe my ears!"
Luo Chengyun looked over and said proudly, "You are not humble. All the people of Xia are chosen by the Su Wang God. Who can say that you are humble? You want to hear my voice again.
I say, let us write down the tyrant’s crimes and then go and attack him!”
