Chapter 481 Do you think I, Luo, am a sick cat?
After Liu Xun's imperial edict was stamped and sent away, Huo Guang felt relieved without saying anything else.
The emperor and the Luo family were in conflict, which was the scene he least wanted to see.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. If the emperor and the Luo family were really in conflict, he certainly would not stand against the Luo family. But asking him to betray the emperor would cross his bottom line, so he might have to die to repay the emperor's kindness.
Thinking of this, Huo Guang showed a rather cruel smile and said to himself: "Let me see whether you want to kill the King of Dayuan out of public interest or you are deliberately provoking for other purposes."
Huo Guang was very efficient and quickly convinced Liu Xiang to conduct a private investigation. The two of them investigated for several months without any clues. The motivation that supported them to continue the investigation was suspicion, but in the end even Huo Guang wondered if he was too sensitive.
Just when the two were about to give up, a turning point appeared.
A businessman presented several treasures to the minister who was reporting to the emperor for no reason, and then disappeared without a trace, and even the court officials could not catch up with him.
This is when the benefit of asking the Chief Justice for help came into play. The man was taken away directly. He wanted to resist at first, but a man with thundering means like Huo Guang was not someone that ordinary people could withstand, so he pried open his mouth easily.
It turned out that a businessman came to him and asked him to submit a memorial. The content of the memorial was very simple, which was to impeach the King of Dayuan. He didn't want to accept it at first because he always felt something was wrong.
But in the end, his weak spot was discovered by others, and once a person's weak spot is discovered, he will be used by others.
Then the content of the memorial was not a big problem, so he submitted it.
He had no idea why, he only knew that the person who contacted him seemed to be called Li Si, a traveling merchant. He couldn't tell where his accent came from, it was authentic elegant language.
In the quiet room, looking at the confession in front of them, Huo Guang and Liu Xiang were both trembling a little, with both fear and excitement.
Although nothing valuable was obtained from the official's mouth, that didn't matter. What was important was that the petition was not a coincidence, but was pushed by someone behind the scenes. This was simply too shocking.
"Minister Huo, I really didn't expect that someone would actually plot against us. We have to make a great contribution this time!"
Liu Xiang felt both fear and excitement in his heart. He had to suppress his inner excitement so that he could speak.
He now even feels that he is favored by fate. Why are many capable people trapped in low status?
Quite simply, no chance!
They had no chance to enter officialdom, no chance to do things, and no chance to make great contributions, just as the famous generals of the Song Dynasty did not have the achievements of the Han and Tang Dynasties, not because of their lack of ability, but because the Song Dynasty did not give them opportunities.
Liu Xiang first caught the opportunity of Zhaocheng's reopening, then he cleaned his account and reopened it in Zhaocheng, directly upgrading to almost the maximum level.
Just when he had gained some fame, he encountered the favorable trend of Liu Xun promoting relatives and in-laws, making use of scholars of classics, and suppressing those who had military merit, so he took advantage of the situation and rose to prominence.
Since entering the Court of Justice, he happened to encounter major cases and made meritorious contributions continuously. He thought that he would need to wait for time to be promoted, but he never expected that the credit would go to him on its own!
This is truly a time when heaven and earth are on the same side!
Tingwei!
One of the Nine Ministers, bring it to me, Liu Xiang thought secretly in his heart.
Huo Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Zi Zheng, my suggestion is to report to His Majesty immediately. We need His Majesty's full authorization. This matter is not something that the two of us can handle.
Furthermore, the clues have been cut off. With the power that the two of us can mobilize now, we cannot accomplish this task. Let's ask His Majesty for more manpower and intelligence."
Liu Xiang agreed, and the two of them hurried to the palace.
In Changle Palace, Liu Xun was admiring the graceful dancing and slim figures of the palace maids. He knew how to enjoy himself. When he saw Huo Guang and Liu Xiang coming, he greeted them with a smile. Then he was shocked by the news they brought, and even his wine glass fell on the table.
"What!"
Liu Xun's mood couldn't even be described as anger. He wanted to laugh, but he laughed out of anger. He read the confession in detail, threw it to the ground, and roared: "Liu Zizheng, Huo Zimeng, investigate it for me, investigate it thoroughly, and everyone found guilty must die!"
So scary!
This was even more terrifying than the killing of Liu Dan by the princes during the Jingnan Rebellion, because that incident could have been avoided and did not harm the Han Dynasty. However, this incident represented that some people were so bold and presumptuous as to pursue their own selfish desires.
“Yes!”
Huo Guang and Liu Xiang walked out of the palace with the imperial edict. The next day, all the imperial guards were mobilized, and the Embroidered Uniform Directive also ordered all counties to investigate illegal activities and arrest a businessman named Li Si.
Alerting the enemy is a good idea after the clues are cut off. There are always some people who are not mentally strong enough who will jump out under such high pressure, especially when the connection between the upper and lower levels is cut off, they will involuntarily discuss the next step.
Huo Guang certainly would not leave all the treasures to the imperial court. On the one hand, he and Liu Xiang searched Guanzhong, and on the other hand, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhaocheng to inform the court of this matter.
Zhaocheng.
After Luo Sheng received Huo Guang's letter, he was silent for a while, but this day finally came. Then he became furious. Luo Sheng had not shown his power for too long. Did he really think of me as a sick cat?
The Luo family is able to conduct business all over the world, and it is hard to imagine how well-informed they are. Previously, due to the chaos in Kanto, the Luo family also suffered great losses, and even many of their secret lines were wiped out by the rolling tide of rebels in a confusion.
However, after the world was pacified, the Luo family quickly invested resources to recover. Although the organizational structure was still a little looser than before and the loyalty was also not as good, it was enough to meet the Luo family's intelligence and business needs.
"Immediately gather the clan's secret forces and spy on Guandong. I want to see who is so bold as to dare to raise his claws against the Luo family."
Countless caravans leaving Zhaocheng received orders from their masters, and the entire Luo family's power was mobilized. However, Zhaocheng was far from peaceful, because what happened this time was really too bad.
This time, because Liu Xun was a more rational person, he chose the most appropriate approach in the face of provocation.
But people like Liu Xun are rare. If an emperor with a less clear mind encountered this situation, he would most likely fall into the trap.
What should I do if I encounter such a thing again in the future?
If you think about it carefully, you can only fight against the enemy with your own army and block the water with earth. Slander, provocation, conspiracy and trickery are things that exist at all times and will never disappear.
Luo Sheng said with emotion: "If you think about it carefully, in the past thousand years of our family, we have never encountered an outrageous monarch.
During the Zhou Dynasty, we were the vice-king of the world and no one could threaten our status. It was not until the rise of the Qin State and we encountered the self-centered emperor Qin Shi Huang that we finally suffered a fatal blow.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the family suffered a huge blow, and even its sacred prestige was about to be shattered. It was King Zhaosheng who performed miracles and shocked the hearts of people all over the world.
Then there were King Luo Wen and Emperor Gao...
cough.
King Luo Wen had a close relationship with Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaowen, not to mention Emperor Xiaowu. The old ancestor personally appeared in spirit to support the family, and so the family spent the first few decades of its life in peace.
Emperor Xiaoding had a relatively docile character. Although he was somewhat distant, he was not dissatisfied with his family. Emperor Li was obsessed with martial arts and building palaces until the Fengtian Jingnan Campaign, and had never paid any attention to the country.
For more than a hundred years, none of the emperors the family has encountered have been hostile to the family. Is this the extent of the blessing from our ancestors? "
Luo had never thought about these things before, but now that he had thought about them, he found them to be so miraculous. "Even when the Zhou Dynasty was first established, it was no more than this, right?"
When everyone thought about it, it was true. There was indeed no difference now. King Zhaosheng and King Luowen together did the same things as their ancestor King Su did during the Bang Zhou period, whether it was the miracle of accompanying him in wind and rain, or the achievement of carrying the king on his back.
Luo Sheng sighed, "During the Zhou Dynasty, my family was the Grand Clan Leader and was born with the power of the Zhou Dynasty, but we still encountered a monarch like King Huang. If we encounter a monarch like King Huang again in the Han Dynasty, the only option is confrontation."
confrontation.
The Luo family was unwilling to do so. The power of the Han Dynasty emperor was much greater than that of the Zhou emperor. It could be seen from Qin Shihuang that if an emperor dared to risk the destruction of his country, he and the Luo family would really suffer mutual losses.
“This is a test for the family and the emperor. Some people don’t want to see the family anymore, but they don’t dare to frame the family openly, so they want to provoke the emperor’s hostility towards the family.
Find them, and then use the most brutal punishment to warn those people that mere admiration is not enough to maintain the family's reputation, and thunderous means must be used."
Luo Sheng said in a cold voice. A Luo family girl pondered and said, "Master, do we need to report this matter to our ancestors? Our ancestors seem to have had a moment of clarity recently."
Luo Sheng shook his head and said, "No need. What you are talking about may be the time when the Su Wang bestowed the divine weapon some time ago. Since the ancestor is in deep sleep, there must be a reason for the ancestor. Besides, the Su Wang never pays attention to these things.
The family has a strong foundation. If there is a true god ancestor watching in heaven, and we still fail in the human world, we are really useless. "
Many people have been paying attention to Luo's movements for a long time, and soon someone discovered something was wrong. The martial law entering Zhaocheng was stricter than before, and they even started to check the population.
The frequency of Luo's business trips also increased.
This is what they saw openly, and there were many more things that they did not see in secret. The guards of the Luo family's secret door were searching in Kanto with all their strength, and countless pieces of information were gathered in Zhaocheng.
Those rats hiding in the dark could only hide in their caves and tremble in fear when faced with the double search by the imperial court and the Luo family. They never expected that the emperor and the Luo family would react so quickly.
"Jiangdong?"
Luo Sheng looked at the information presented to him in confusion, and then said, "Go find it."
Please give me a monthly ticket, brothers and sisters
