Chapter 630 Passing the House
What have you done since entering Luoyang?
The execution of the emperor, ministers and their followers in the rebellion was a preliminary conclusion to their deeds, but it was not enough and could not fully reflect the justice of the Taiping Army.
We need to make a final conclusion.
In today's world, there is only one thing that can do this, and that is the posthumous title!
Luo Xiao was thinking here, and the nobles in the city were also thinking about how to survive.
When Wang Yun saw the emperor's head being used to offer sacrifices to heaven, his heart bled.
He is not a resolute minister like Lu Zhi, who is unwilling to die without doing anything. During the Taiping Army's process of breaking into houses and exterminating families, he has not been greatly affected because he is relatively honest.
But the Taiping Army was like a sword always hanging over his head, and his life and death were in the hands of others, which made Wang Yun terrified even when he woke up in the middle of the night.
Moreover, seeing that the Taiping Army was almost unstoppable, although Wang Yun himself was prepared to commit suicide if he really could not restore the Han Dynasty, he still needed to consider the future of his children.
After waking up from his sleep again, Wang Yun panted heavily and said, "We must establish a relationship with the high-ranking officials of the Taiping Army as soon as possible!"
Wang Yun was very confident that he could please the high-ranking officials of the Taiping Army. He had a trump card, which was his adopted daughter, who was the most beautiful woman in the world, or even, to exaggerate a little, the most beautiful woman in the world.
At least based on Wang Yun's decades of experience, he has never seen anything comparable to her. That kind of beauty is completely beyond imagination and is very terrifying.
If he had not raised her in the mansion since she was a child and had not never seen outsiders, even with his status and position, she would most likely have been taken away by someone.
Wang Yun is very fast.
After the Taiping Army offered sacrifices to the Heaven, smart people could see that they wanted to integrate into the mainstream of the world, because the Taiping Army's propaganda had always been the revolution of Tang and Wu.
In today's world, there are two kinds of political correctness, one is the Revolution of Tang and Wu, the other is Fengtian Jingnan. The Revolution of Tang and Wu was a revolution to change the surname and country, while Fengtian Jingnan was a revolution to revive the country.
Judging from their actions after entering Luoyang City, the Taiping Army did not kill indiscriminately and their actions were in line with the standards of a benevolent and righteous army.
This standard is not important at ordinary times, but it is very important when carrying out military actions such as the Tang Wu Revolution and the Fengtian Jingnan Rebellion, which contain infinite political implications.
From the perspective of political impact, the Taiping Army formally offered sacrifices to heaven and presented the causes of death of the emperor and ministers in an orderly manner.
It clearly states which ministers were killed by the Taiping Army according to the will of heaven and the will of the people, which ministers committed suicide based on the principle of loyalty and righteousness, and what achievements and virtues the surviving ministers had to survive.
This extremely precise political stance, which first normalized oneself and then clarified who was the enemy and who was a friend, made the ministers who survived in Luoyang City feel very uncomfortable.
Because they had to cheer for the Taiping Army, otherwise they would be denying their own achievements and virtues. Otherwise, like Lu Zhi, committing suicide would not require such a dilemma.
Wang Yun seized this opportunity and worked actively for the Taiping Army. He was one of the highest-ranking people in the former Han court.
Faced with General Qu who was unable to adapt to the change of identity for a while, he was very good at maneuvering and soon made friends with many General Qu of the Taiping Army. Then he passed the message to Luo Xiao through the General Qu of the Taiping Army, inviting Luo Xiao to his house, saying that he had a great gift for him.
…
In the palace.
Luo Xiao sat in the first seat, and the next one was Wang Yun.
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall, all of whom were Taiping Army commanders or good friends of Wang Yun, and there was also a relatively outsider, Cai Yong.
After entering the city, the book burning that Cai Yong had expected did not happen. The Taiping Army soldiers politely protected the books, which made Cai Yong have a favorable impression of the Taiping Army.
He was the most outspoken of the Luoyang nobles in standing on the side of the Taiping Army, and he personally wrote various texts for the Taiping Army.
Everyone in Luoyang knew about the feud between Cai Yong and the emperor, and basically no one blamed him.
After a round of drinking, the dancers continued to dance to the tune of light singing, but the volume of the music was much lower.
Wang Yun smiled and said, "The Taoist master is a natural hero who has killed tyrants and treacherous officials. He is truly a great hero that is unparalleled in the world!"
Luo Xiao was playing with the wine bottle in his hand with no expression on his face. He was a hexagonal warrior.
In terms of seeing through people's hearts, although he could not reach the level of his ancestor Lingjun who could see through people's hearts, he could still tell whether Wang Yun was sincere or not.
Luo Xiao was quite curious about the actions of these old ministers who missed the Han Dynasty. In such a critical moment, they did not rush to defect to the new dynasty, but still missed their homeland. To some extent, he had to admire these people.
Seeing Luo Xiao didn't speak, Wang Yun's face froze, then he laughed and said, "As the saying goes, beauty goes with heroes, but a great hero like the Taoist Master is alone, is this reasonable?
Yun has a daughter, who is extremely beautiful, named Diao Chan, and I wish to present her to the Taoist master. "
When they heard that Wang Yun was offering his daughter, everyone in the hall had different expressions. The Taiping Army leaders who came here immediately shouted, "My Lord, weren't you in the palace that day?
Even the peerless beauty of Empress He's status and position did not tempt the Taoist master. What kind of woman did you find that dared to offer her to the Taoist master?"
The words were full of blame, and the meaning was very clear. We helped you bring the Taoist master to the mansion because you said you had a unique gift, but you ended up offering a woman. Who are you looking down on?
Hearing about Empress He, Wang Yun felt uncomfortable, incompetent, but he still had a smile on his face and said: "My Lords, Empress He's status and position is naturally unique in the world. After all, there is only one emperor and one empress in the world.
But in terms of appearance, Empress He is compared with the minister Diao Chan like a grain of rice competing with a pearl, or the stars competing with the bright moon.
Your servant Diao Chan is truly a beauty that can topple a nation or a city. Otherwise, how can I dare to claim that she is the only one in the world?"
Wang Yun's explanation made everyone in the room suddenly quiet down. Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe it. Wang Yun's tone was really too arrogant.
Let’s not talk about other things about Queen He for now, but her beauty is absolutely unquestionable. She is a rare beauty in the world.
Well, although they are reluctant to admit it, the most beautiful woman these Taiping Army commanders who came from humble backgrounds have ever seen is Empress He.
But now Wang Yun directly criticized Empress He as worthless, which instantly aroused everyone's curiosity, even a great scholar like Cai Yong was a little curious.
If it comes to beauty being better than Empress He, Cai Yong feels that his daughter is better than her, but not to the point of being crushed into slag.
Of course, if one adds on her temperament and that extremely rare ability to remember everything she sees, it would be easy for her to kill a butcher's daughter in seconds.
After all, he could memorize the entire Cai family's collection of books, and could be described as a human-shaped mobile guardian of the collection. This kind of explosive talent is rare to find in thousands of years.
“Zhengzhengzheng!”
The sound of a pipa suddenly rang out, followed by the clear and loud sound of a flute, and seven or eight other musical instruments mixed in.
Cai Yong was a great musician, and even he thought it was great, and couldn't help wanting to play the piano himself and join in.
A group of dancers lined up on both sides and slowly walked into the hall. They were like butterflies flying through flowers, and then they dispersed, revealing a woman in the middle of the crowd, who was dressed in bright red silk and had a light veil on her face.
There is almost no skin exposed on her body, but she gives people a feeling of extreme charm. Her waist is slender, her fingers are like onion roots, and her neck is long and white. Against the backdrop of the bright red brocade robe, she looks like snow in deep winter. Her exposed eyes are like a pool of autumn water. Her lotus steps move lightly, and the fragrance wafts in the wind. Her every move is charming as if it were natural. She is not seducing anyone, she is born like this.
Everyone at the banquet was stunned. Even though she was wearing a veil, it was enough to shock everyone.
Wang Yun couldn't help but feel proud. If he hadn't raised the child since childhood, the child would probably look like this now.
He looked at Zhang Jue with complacency, and then his expression froze. Zhang Jue was admiring him very seriously, but there was no trace of obsession on his face, which made Wang Yun feel a little uneasy.
Is there any man in this world who doesn't like my adopted daughter?
Even if Luo's son came here, he would probably propose to me immediately. After all, the entire Luo family is world-famous for their pursuit of peerless beauties.
Luo Xiao was appreciating Diao Chan's dance very seriously. There were not many things in this world that could interest him. In his eyes, beauty was nothing but a red-faced skeleton.
He was not a true Taoist practitioner, but he was a man of great beauty. Diao Chan embodied a principle of "beauty". Her figure and dancing made Luo Xiao feel the concept of "beauty" for the first time. Even in the Luo family, where beauties were everywhere, he had never had this feeling.
The music at the banquet gradually became louder and louder, and Diao Chan's dance became more passionate. A long sword was thrown at her, and she reached out to take it, and made a sword flower with her hand.
"I am the best at sword dancing, please try it."
It was quite unexpected that the woman who was as charming as spring water had a very cold voice. After she spoke, she took off the veil on her face and stood up.
boom!
The moment they saw Diao Chan's true appearance, everyone had only one thought, which was -
This girl should only exist in heaven, how can we ever hear of her in the world?
If you just look at her eyes, Diao Chan is very charming, and even has a natural redness between her eyebrows and eyes, which makes her look like a seductress, but her face is of a very cold style.
Diao Chan's face gives people the feeling that a magical flower has grown on the snow-capped Tianshan Mountains.
“Okay!”
When Luo Xiao's voice came from above, the vocal music in the hall stopped instantly. Some musicians were still playing unconsciously, while others had already stopped.
Diao Chan looked at Luo Xiao in surprise, not understanding what was going on, and then she felt her eyes getting hot.
The look in her eyes kept changing, sometimes it was a very ordinary face, sometimes it was an extremely handsome face. The only thing that remained unchanged was her pupils, as bright as the starry sky.
Luo Xiao looked at Diao Chan and was very satisfied. He had already determined that Diao Chan was the same kind of person as his ancestors. This unimaginable face proved everything.
Luo Xiao has always felt that his contribution to the family was too little. The previous breakthrough in the Han court's destiny had strengthened the family's foundation, which made him feel at ease.
But with his talent, he should have done more for the family.
This is a time of great chaos. If something goes wrong, the family may fall.
The reason why the family was so powerful in the Han Dynasty was because the ancestors of the Luo family were too powerful in the early Han Dynasty, and then they formulated countless rules that were conducive to family inheritance.
But in troubled times, things will be reshuffled and those things will be lost.
If he had been the head of the family, the family would have been able to regain power in the new chaotic times that was no less than that in the early Han Dynasty.
But he did not choose this path. He does not regret it, but sometimes he thinks that he should do more.
The Diao Chan in front of him is a wonderful woman with magical powers. If he could send Diao Chan to the family, it would be considered a small contribution to the family.
Luo Xiao looked at Wang Yun, raised the wine jar to him for the first time, smiled and said: "My Lord, I will send ten maids to take care of you, and then send troops to protect your mansion.
I am very happy to meet your young lady today. Although I have no chance to be with her, how can I not be happy to see such a beauty?
Let her stay in this house and wait for the right person."
The ten maids are naturally spiritual soldiers who can be either male or female. Only by using spiritual soldiers to protect Diao Chan can he feel at ease. He will never expose his relationship with the Luo family. After leaving here, he will write a letter to the family to inform them of the situation, and then ask the family to send someone to take Diao Chan away. This is the only way to save the country in a roundabout way.
Luo Xiao's words shocked everyone. Even the Taiping Army commander Qu, who knew that Luo Xiao would not live long, was also shocked.
It would be strange if he could not be moved by such a beauty. All we can say is that he has the spirit of a king and is not tempted by beauty. However, it is abnormal that he has no impulse when facing such a beauty!
Some people even began to wonder if this Taoist master had any hidden illness!
There were many reasons why Luo Xiao refused. He was very averse to physical contact between people, and he didn't need to sacrifice a woman's life as he was about to die. Most importantly, in the eyes of outsiders, he was now wearing Zhang Jiao's skin, which was inappropriate.
Diao Chan stared at Luo Xiao with sparkling eyes, and suddenly said, "Father, I have something to say to the Taoist master."
Everyone turned their eyes to Luo Xiao. Luo Xiao waved his hand, and everyone walked out of the yard and looked at the two people in the hall.
As soon as everyone left, Diao Chan showed some pain on her face. She covered her right eye with her hand and said, "Master, there are two of you in my eyes. Which one is the real one? My eyes are so hot!"
Luo Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and found that the starlight on his body, which had transformed from Zhang Jiao, was actually somewhat transparent in front of Diao Chan.
wrong!
Luo Xiao looked up at the moon outside the house. When the moon dimmed, Diao Chan's eyes would be extremely bright, and when the moon appeared, her eyes would dim.
This was the first time in Luo Xiao's life that he saw someone who was actually related to the Haoyue.
It’s amazing!
