Chapter 641 Some People and Things in the Wind
Luo's is different.
Especially for women in this world, they can have an unlimited future only in the Luo family.
When Cai Yan came to Zhaocheng, her life changed.
Her destiny was not just to marry and raise children, but she could do academic research, train disciples, or become an official and use her rich knowledge to benefit the Kingdom of Zhao. In the era of female rule, she might even become an internal minister.
"alright."
The high priest's clear voice sounded, and the hall suddenly became quiet, but the women still looked at Cai Yan with sparkling eyes.
The high priest looked at everyone and smiled, "Wen Ji has just arrived in Zhaocheng, and there will probably be plenty of time for us to communicate with each other in the future, so don't worry.
Wen Ji, I heard that your father entrusted your marriage to Wushuang Hou. You are not married yet, right? "
"ah!"
Perhaps the change was too fast. Cai Yan did not expect the high priest to suddenly ask this question. She certainly knew the hidden meaning behind the high priest's words. Her pretty face suddenly blushed and she said, "Aunt, yes, my father did not arrange a marriage for Yan."
The women in the hall did not expect the high priest to ask this question, and when they saw Cai Yan's blushing cheeks, they all started laughing.
"Wenji, there are many good men in Zhaocheng. They are handsome, talented, gentle and considerate. You can take your time to choose.
Our Luo clan has always advocated free love and does not engage in arranged marriages. With Wen Ji's talent and beauty, the number of men pursuing you would probably fill up Zhaocheng."
Although they really wanted Cai Yan to marry into the Luo family, the Luo family's consistent style would not change and it was entirely voluntary.
Cai Yan was very moved when she heard this. In fact, she knew her situation best. To put it bluntly, she was living under someone else's roof.
Especially for a prominent family like the Luo family, even if they asked her to marry directly, she should not refuse for both moral and logical reasons.
But Luo's attitude was unimaginably good, giving me full freedom.
No wonder all the women in the world want to marry into Zhaocheng and marry the son of the Luo family.
People always say that it is easy to find priceless treasures, but hard to find a lover. Just by looking at this daughter of the Luo family, you can tell that the son of the Luo family must have a lover.
Cai Yan stood up from her seat and walked into the hall. She stood tall, with a slender figure, gentle and virtuous, and a temperament as gentle as spring water. She bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you, auntie and all the ladies."
…
In the main hall, Luo Zhang looked at Jia Xu's leaving figure and began to prepare to select people to go to Luoyang.
It is not easy to choose this candidate. After all, what are people from Zhaocheng going to Luoyang for?
Not to mention that there is no emperor now, even if there is an emperor, it is not the day to pay tribute, and you are not staying in Zhaocheng. Is this because you are too quiet and want to make trouble?
Once people step onto the political stage, it is impossible to step down. The world is a dye vat, and no one can get away unscathed after being contaminated by it. Xiang Yu only sent his children in. Even the Luo family could not do that, as the head of the family died in Heluo and never set foot in Zhaocheng again.
Luo Zhang was thinking about these things. He was thinking about who to send, and then he saw someone hurriedly walked in. It was his nephew, "Uncle, there is a letter from my elder brother."
Luo Xiao!
Luo Zhang was shocked. A Xiao had already passed away, so how could the letter be delivered?
This must have been given by Axiao before he died!
When he thought of Luo Xiao, Luo Zhang felt a wave of grief. How could ordinary people understand the pain of an elderly seeing a young person die?
He was such an outstanding son, but he didn't even get to see him for the last time and passed away just like that.
Luo Zhang took the letter and opened it. The familiar handwriting on it made his heart ache again. This was indeed a letter from Luo Xiao.
"Father, I am writing to you.
I bow my head and ask for forgiveness for my unfilial son.
I believe that when you receive this letter, my son's soul has already returned to heaven and his body has sunk into the Luo River, achieving the greatest freedom and ease that is most difficult to obtain in this world.
You don't need to be sad for your son. He is very lucky to live like you in this world. Besides, your ancestor stood at the end of death. I believe that one day, we father and son will meet again.
The son has done a lot of things during these years away from home, but because he cannot reveal his identity, he is of little use to the family.
The generals of the Taiping Army had different personalities. Their information is attached in the back volume. Although it is not of great use, it is better than nothing.
The Han Dynasty's mandate of destiny has been lost, and his son can no longer see the future clearly. However, among the princes who have come to support the king this time, there are some people his father can pay attention to, including princes, scholars, and powerful generals.
The same is true in Luoyang city. There was a Huangmen Lang, his surname was Xun and his name was You. He was a descendant of the Xun family of Yingchuan. He was not good-looking and was easily overlooked, but he was a man of great talent. When his son talked to him, although he tried his best to hide it, he could not hide it. He was a talent who could assist the king.
Children of such noble families will certainly diversify their investments when times get chaotic, and their families will surely become powerful states in the future. Noble families who want to survive the chaotic times will bet on their families, and their fathers can recruit talented people among them.
After his son's death, the princes of the world will certainly fight for the prince in a short period of time, and Queen He will become the queen mother. She is not a good ally of the family.
But if you want to use her nominal power, remember to make her completely obedient, she is not very smart and may do bad things.
There was another big event. In Luoyang City, there was a woman named Diao Chan, who was the adopted daughter of Wang Yun. She had an extremely beautiful appearance and was born with supernatural powers. She could see through her son's disguise. She was a figure like her ancestor Xizi.
Her father can send someone to bring her back to Zhaocheng, or he can directly send a family member to take her away. She is protected by spiritual soldiers, so she is not worried for the time being.
That’s all. May my father be in good health.
Xiao bows his head and bows again. "
There was quite a lot of content in the letter, it was very lengthy and covered all kinds of things, but this could not be considered Luo Xiao's last words.
With Luo Xiao's open-minded personality, he couldn't write something like a will.
He just briefly talked about the general situation of the world, the people and things he had seen, and some things that needed the family's attention.
Luo Zhang slowly put away the letter, and was a little dazed for a moment.
Then he set his eyes on the last paragraph of the instructions. He didn't expect that after Luo Kong sent a wonderful woman, Luo Xiao also sent someone.
The extraordinary woman is of great help to the family. She is so beautiful that she can captivate fish and geese, resist the cold, and has unparalleled beauty. These are all brought by the extraordinary woman.
They were already planning to send people to Luoyang, and now they had to carefully select one or even several people to go, not only for the political interests of Luoyang, but also for the sake of safety in bringing back the extraordinary woman that Luo Xiao mentioned.
Luo Zhang thought for a while, looked through the props in his hand, then walked out of the house, called people over, and began to arrange and explain some things.
…
Luoyang City, Imperial Palace.
Empress Dowager He looked at her son who had just fallen asleep, but her heart could not calm down. She even recalled the time when Zhang Jue was still alive. At that time, she was obviously not as free as she is now, but she had a sense of security.
Zhang Jiao was a man of integrity who could support her and her son. But now, she had to support the sky by herself, and she even felt it was difficult to breathe.
…
At Wang Yun’s residence.
After Zhang Jue's death, Wang Yun encountered a wave of ridicule, but as the Taiping Army commander Qu became friends with Wang Yun, the voices died down.
In other words, he can no longer be called Qu Shuai, but has transformed into the General of the Imperial Guards.
Is there anything wrong with rewarding the heroes who killed the tyrants and the people?
Because Liu He was the only prince in Luoyang City, there was no choice but to elect an emperor, so Liu He took the throne, and Queen He officially became the empress dowager.
How could a three-year-old child rule the world? So Queen He naturally became the regent of the country.
No one objected to this operation, but many people knew one thing: the two emperors would probably fight each other in the future.
Prince Bian will definitely succeed to the throne in Chang'an. There may be two emperors in the world at the same time, but there can only be one in a dynasty!
There cannot be two emperors in the Han Dynasty's palace!
Wang Yun looked at the strong woman standing opposite him and felt a little chill in his heart.
Although Zhang Jue had ascended to heaven, whenever he saw these ten figures who followed Diao Chan closely in the mansion, he always felt as if Zhang Jue was still there watching him.
These ten people were truly inseparable from Diao Chan. They would stay by her side even when she was sleeping or bathing. And even when Wang Yun tried to please them in various ways, their attitude towards him was very indifferent, as if they were secretly warning Wang Yun to put away all his thoughts, because Diao Chan was not someone he could touch now.
Wang Yun has not had such thoughts at the moment. After all, the situation in Luoyang is very good. He has even begun to gradually regain control of the Sanhe area as well as Hongnong, Nanyang, Yingchuan and other places.
The imperial court is still trying to contact the Five Families in Guandong, but now they are fighting with those bandits and cannot be contacted for the time being.
"Daughter, your reputation has spread, and you are indeed not young anymore. Many people have come to test your father's words recently, but you..."
Wang Yun said tentatively, and then kept looking at the spirit soldiers. The spirit soldier standing on Diao Chan's right said directly: "The Taoist master said before his death that marriage matters should be left to Miss Diao Chan alone."
Diao Chan remembered what Zhang Jue once said to her. He said that the destined person would come. She gently covered her right eye. In the palm of her hand, the pupil kept changing, following her intuition.
Then she shook her head in disappointment. Her intuition told her that these were not the destined ones Zhang Jue mentioned, so Diao Chan said the classic quote, "Father, your daughter still wants to serve you for two more years."
After hearing Diao Chan's answer, Wang Yun knew that Diao Chan was unwilling, but he didn't say much. He was obsessed with reviving the Han Dynasty, but he was not a bad person. On the contrary, he was very upright.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a beauty like Diao Chan, who was not related to him by blood, to remain a virgin while being kept in his mansion.
Although Zhang Jue did not want Diao Chan, there is no doubt that he valued Diao Chan very much. For Wang Yun, this brought him many benefits, so he was very grateful to Diao Chan.
So he groaned for a moment and said, "Daughter, you may still remember Zhang Jue, but I still have something in my heart that I want to tell you.
The world is a bit chaotic now. Although your father has always wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, I really don’t know what the future will be like.
Luoyang is a place of trouble, and chaos may soon break out.
A beauty like you who only exists in history books is a gift from God, but it is also the source of disaster for you. Countless people will covet your beauty.
They will fight for you, fight for you, but they will only treat you as a trophy. Although you are still in your prime, one day you will be old, and then...
There is only one place in the world that can protect you, and that is Zhaocheng!
Although the reason is unknown, the Luo family has been tirelessly collecting stunning beauties who are beyond the imagination of ordinary people for 1,300 years from ancient times to the present.
You are such a woman, a woman who is no less beautiful than Xizi and Wang Wenjun.
If you can get to Zhaocheng, as long as you reveal your true appearance, Zhaocheng, which is difficult for ordinary people to enter, will be easy for you. Once you get there, you can truly live the rest of your life in peace.
Zhang Jiao was indeed a god-like figure who had never been seen in history since King Su, but he was still far inferior to Luo Shi.
Don't be too focused on Zhang Jue's words and put yourself in a disadvantageous situation. These are some of my sincere words. "
Wang Yun's earnest words were his true feelings. Diao Chan naturally heard her adoptive father's sincerity and was quite moved. Wang Yun even felt that even the strong woman's eyes softened when she looked at him.
Diao Chan recalled Zhang Jiao's handsome, godlike face and his words telling her not to make random guesses, and could not help but smile.
She was so beautiful that her smile was like a hundred flowers blooming. The maid who came to pour tea for Wang Yun couldn't help but be swayed, and she didn't even react when the tea overflowed.
Diao Chan said sternly, "Father, I know, but Zhang Jue is a man of extraordinary talents. Since he asked me to stay in Luoyang, it proves that it is safest to stay here.
Right now, there is chaos all the way from Luoyang to Zhaocheng, which makes it more likely for problems to arise."
In fact, Diao Chan had some guesses, but these guesses were too absurd and she herself didn't quite believe them.
Moreover, she was a very smart person. Even if it was true, she knew very well what to say and what not to say.
The best option is to use a high-sounding excuse to ignore this matter. Now she is quietly waiting for the arrival of the destined person that Zhang Jue mentioned.
As for who that person is, the bright moon in the sky will tell her!
——-——
