Chapter 545 The old era is over!
When man plays chess against heaven, there can be no room for negligence. Luo Yi always thought that he would be the one that heaven would focus on dealing with, until he realized it at this moment.
God also picks on the weak.
He has the blessing of the Su Wang on him, so dealing with him is a thankless task, so it lands on his teammates.
If he had befriended Long Qing from the beginning and let Long Qing influence Liu Yang, Liu Yang would not have died, and Tianyi would have retreated the first time.
If he could understand Liu Yun better, and pay more attention to his thoughts and physical condition, Liu Yun would not have died, and God's will would have retreated.
“I missed two opportunities. My ancestors’ blessings have made things too smooth for me, but I don’t have the wisdom of my ancestor Duke Wen.
Incompetent, incompetent!
It’s not unfair, it’s not unfair!”
Luo Yi laughed bitterly and said that in fact, God's will against the Han Dynasty was far less powerful than that against the Zhou Dynasty in the later period.
Bang Zhou should have completely turned into a mascot after its eastward migration, but because of the existence of the Luo family, it was still a second-rate country until the time of King Xiang.
The Luo family carried the destiny of the Zhou Dynasty, and destiny almost turned the Luo family into fools. If Ji Zhao had not supported them, the extinction of the family would have been the only outcome.
And what about God’s will for the Han Dynasty?
It even gave such an obvious flaw. This is because the thousand years of Zhou Dynasty completely disrupted the timeline. Now there is no obvious time limit for its demise. The Han Dynasty can also last longer, and the difficulty is reduced, but whether it can seize the opportunity depends on its ability.
God's will was just trying to adjust and give tests. If it succeeded, it would be pushed forward. If it failed, it would be accumulated and would explode when the Han Dynasty could no longer be allowed to exist.
If Duke Wen of Luo was in Luo Yi's position, he would have infinite wisdom and would be a true hexagonal warrior in terms of civil administration, and would most likely have been able to extend the life of the Han Dynasty.
Luo Yi is capable of being a capable minister in governing the country, but he is not capable of saving a dynasty that is facing both internal and external troubles. Among all the heads of the Luo family, only Duke Wen of Luo Su, Duke Xuan of Luo after breaking through the limit, and King Zhaosheng Luo Ling have this ability.
Moreover, the reason why Duke Xuan of Luo was able to break through the limit of wisdom was because he did not have the blessing of his ancestors, but Luo Yi was blessed by his ancestors. The blessing of ancestors is both a protection and a restraint.
Ji Zhao and Ji Ling both watched Luo Yi walk out of the palace gate step by step, with blood constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Ji Lingjun seemed to have gone back hundreds of years. Azhi was also helpless. He could not help but sigh, "Grandfather, Ayi can't get over this. I'm afraid he will have to go to the Hall of Heroes. Can we help him?"
The son and daughter of the Luo family are always extremely emotional. Even if they try to remain rational and do things, they are always tormented in their hearts. This is a terrible kind of mental exhaustion and is the main reason for the Luo family's short life.
Luo Yi’s current situation is almost identical to that of the patriarch who encountered the Bloody King a thousand years ago. Even if he wants to help, he cannot. Who can control another person’s heart?
Ji Zhao plucked a peach blossom and flicked it gently until it fell on Ji Lingjun's temples. Then he said with emotion: "After Bang Zhou, the Heavenly Dao has never personally stepped in to deal with the family.
What the family has been facing all along is the trend that has been brewing and accumulating in the world itself.
It's like rowing against the current. If I get involved, what will the struggle of generations of my family mean?
Aren’t all the passion, tragedy, sacrifice and glory a joke?
Either I directly reverse the destiny, but although the Han Dynasty is gradually declining, it has not yet perished. If I intervene directly, perhaps the Han Dynasty will directly perish.
The actions taken by the family members were within the rules of the chessboard, but my extreme behavior was to overturn the chessboard.
If the war between me and the Heavenly Dao were to start in full swing, it would be a lose-lose situation and no one would survive.
Besides, I have said before that the world will be very different. You will see, it won’t be long.”
Back then, it was Ji Zhao who threatened Tian Dao, but now the situation is reversed. Seeing that the family inheritance is going so smoothly, as long as he follows the steps, he can win without fighting. Ji Zhao doesn't want to create any complications at all.
Ji Lingjun was a little confused. Ji Zhao looked up at the great momentum and fortune that was constantly gathering in the depths of the void. With the failure of Liu Yang and Liu Yun's efforts to defy fate, the gathering of the great momentum was accelerated instead.
God always does things in an orderly manner and never does things without a purpose. There are many examples in this world of attempts to reform that ultimately failed and instead accelerated the demise of the country, which is called backlash.
Emperor Xiaoshao's funeral was probably the simplest among all the emperors of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, he could not be buried immediately because there was no imperial tomb and it was impossible to build one from scratch.
However, it happened that a prince had built a very luxurious royal tomb. Although the specifications were not as good as the imperial mausoleum, it was very grand. It only needed a slight modification to make all the regulations suitable for the status of the emperor.
He must have felt honored that the tomb he built could be used by the late emperor.
After Luo Yi dealt with the funeral affairs for Emperor Xiaoshao, he did not even join the ministers in welcoming the new emperor. He resigned and left Chang'an directly.
On the avenue outside Chang'an, both sides were crowded with common people and young people dressed in scholars' clothes.
"Grand Prime Minister, the emperor has passed away, and you have resigned. What will happen to the country?"
"Grand Prime Minister, Grand Duke, the world cannot do without you."
Countless voices came from both sides, filled with anxiety and panic, and then continued to reach Luo Yi's ears, but Luo Yi knew that he had to leave.
With his ability, the Han Dynasty has come to this point.
It's possible once and twice, but not three or four times. If two emperors who supported the reform died early, the next emperor would definitely not dare to carry out the reform.
However, the reform of the civil service in recent years has made some differences, and the trip to Chang'an was not in vain.
Luo Yi rode on a horse, accompanied by hundreds of brave warriors, and left Chang'an City. In this Guanzhong without an emperor, the brave warriors were fully armed and walked along the way. There was another commotion. Luo Yi pulled the reins and rode away amid countless calls, leaving only one sentence, "Everyone, let's stop here."
After passing the precipitous Mount Xiao and completely leaving Guanzhong, Luo Yi felt suddenly relieved. When he saw the Yi and Luo rivers, he suddenly recalled his ancestors, including the God of Luo River, one of his ancestors.
"The spirit of the Su King is in heaven, protecting our family for thousands of years."
Yi's ability is not enough to make the Han court prosperous or keep his family in power, so he can only rely on his ancestors.
The Luo family gained countless benefits in the order of the various states led by the Han Dynasty and was as stable as a rock. Now that the Han Dynasty is heading towards its twilight years, the future fate of the Luo family is somewhat unclear.
Looking at the surging Yi and Luo waters, Luo Yi sat cross-legged in silence. The water and soil of Guanzhong nurtured the Zhou clan, and the Yi and Luo waters enabled the Zhou clan to dominate the world.
"Let's just stay here, and return to the place where our ancestors shine."
Luo Yi sighed softly, his figure sitting cross-legged. As the sun set and the moon rose, a star in the sky disappeared.
…
When Duke Zhao died, the Yi and Luo sacred rivers were said to wail. Some villagers said the waters of the Yi and Luo rivers shone brightly, and extremely beautiful sacred flowers fell.
In Guanzhong and Guandong, countless people who were saved because of Luo Yi wept endlessly, and countless people prayed and worshipped him.
The brave warriors sang the heroic song and carried Luo Yi's coffin back to Zhaocheng for burial with sad faces.
The officials in Chang'an were congratulating the new emperor on his accession to the throne. The people of Chang'an, and even the people of the world, were almost numb. The succession law of the Han Dynasty could be said to be relatively complete, but there were surprisingly few emperors in history who ascended to the throne normally.
Starting from Emperor Xiaowu, one prince after another came to Chang'an, even to the marquis like Emperor Xiaoxuan, and finally to the commoner like Emperor Xiaoshao. It seemed that every royal family member had the hope of becoming the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
The new emperor was a good man. He was enthroned by his ministers in Changle Palace. He visited the Gao Temple and the Mausoleum of King Su.
After he came to power, the reform naturally came to no avail. There were fierce debates in the court, but in fact, the shadow of the deaths of two consecutive emperors hung over everyone's mind.
The new emperor shut up the others with just a few words, "Why did Emperor Dao and Emperor Xiaoshao die in their prime?
Isn't this because it angered God?
I am just an average person and I don't know why it is like this. So I will follow the laws of my ancestors and not do anything else.
Serve the ancestral temple with trepidation, send people to comfort the clan members every year, and do not treat the subjects tyrannically. This is the only thing I can do."
The emperor was afraid.
Emperor Xiaoshao died suddenly not long after he issued the decree. How could this not arouse suspicion?
Is it true that I incurred the anger of my ancestors because of my harsh treatment of my relatives?
Is it true that the Heaven became even more disgusted with the Han Dynasty because of its brutal reforms?
The attitudes of the officials in Chang'an changed with the emperor's. They could reap the benefits of reforms. The powerful would fall, the wealthy and wealthy would be well fed, and the common people would get the benefit of the reforms.
There will be no impact if the law is not changed, and their interests will not be affected.
The most dissatisfied were those passionate scholars. After two consecutive emperors who supported the reform died, the prime minister left Chang'an in disheartened and then passed away, completely cutting off their hopes that the prime minister would return to Chang'an.
"This big man's dark sky just had a ray of light torn open. Could it be closed like this?"
Some scholars were so grief-stricken that they cried out, "Is the Han Dynasty going to perish like this?"
"Are there any talented people who can save the Han Dynasty? Where are they?"
"The Han Dynasty is so glorious, isn't it worthy of another Holy King being sent down?
It’s only been two hundred years. Is this the end?
I hate it! "
"The Zhou Dynasty lasted a thousand years, the Shang Dynasty lasted six hundred years, and the Xia Dynasty lasted four hundred years. Is the Mandate of the Han Dynasty so short?"
Voices were heard from all over the world. The voices for reform were suppressed in the court, but continued to flourish among the people of the world.
Because the Han Dynasty must change, this is the consensus of countless people.
————
Any social trend has its own internal logic, and any historical event has its own reasons. The Han Dynasty urgently needed a social revolution, so the scholars called for such a person. After Luo Yi's death, this need became even stronger. - "History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
