Chapter 963 Luo Su is gone
How will the National Master end?
How will he disappear in front of everyone?
This is a question that looms in the minds of countless people.
Luo would not record him in a separate biography; his words and deeds only appeared in other people's biographies.
A person with sacred meaning, his birth is magnificent, and his death should also be extraordinary.
Luo Su didn't know when he would die.
He had seen the deaths of many people, but he could not see his own.
One morning, he saw drops of water falling on the lush green leaves. The green leaves were trembling and rising and falling. He suddenly realized, why did he come to this world?
It seems that everything is on the right track.
So he rang the bell in Lingtian Pavilion, and all the members of the Luo family in Luoyang came here.
"I'm leaving, leaving Luoyang."
This was Luo Su’s first sentence, he told everyone.
"I have something to say, and you must obey it."
This was his second sentence, and everyone listened with their heads bowed in shock.
“The next generation of the Luo family will reach a new peak. In the years to come, you must remember to be humble and not be too ostentatious. You must work hand in hand with the Li family and remember not to put yourself above destiny, otherwise the family will be in danger of extinction at any moment.
Never forget the sword hanging over your head, wait for the light to rise from the darkness, and on that day, the Phoenix banner will be swept again. "
Luo Su left a word that sounded like a warning.
It makes people feel cold.
Under the royal family, even the invincible Luo family must always be vigilant because enemies may come from the sky.
That's not the enemy, that's the rule.
Wu Zhao heard the news, so she walked into Lingtian Pavilion in the afternoon. She stared at Luo Su closely, her eyes full of nervousness, "Grandmaster, can you not leave?"
Luo Su looked at the gradually aging Wu Zhao in front of him, and the impression in his mind gradually corresponded to the beautiful girl with a face as bright as peach blossoms decades ago. "It turns out that so much time has passed. I still remember the first time I saw you. You were still very young and didn't want to be Emperor Taizong's concubine."
"Meeting the emperor is a disaster, not a blessing."
Wu Zhao's clenched hands dropped down, and the wide phoenix robe submerged her hands. She said the words she had said at the beginning, and thought about her current situation, "Meeting the emperor is a blessing, not a disaster."
Once a person starts reminiscing about the past, it proves that he has no future.
Wu Zhao looked at the figure in front of her. She now holds the destiny of the Tang Dynasty. She is not the emperor, but she is better than the emperor. She can finally see the man in front of her carefully. His figure is still among the gathering and dispersing clouds, his skin is still as warm as jade, and his pupils are still so clear in black and white. It seems that because he no longer belongs to this period of time, the years have not come near him, and he has never changed at all.
"Master, when you first saw me, you said, 'So it's you.' I have always been curious. Now that you are leaving, can you help me solve this mystery?"
"You are the node of destiny. In your life, I took something from you, which may be the highest honor, and I gave you something new, which you absolutely could not get before."
Luo Su took away Wu Zhao's throne as emperor and son of heaven.
Luo Su allowed her to be remembered in history and passed down through the ages, which was something she had never had before.
Right and wrong, merits and demerits do not need to be judged solely by future generations.
In history books, achievements will be recorded forever. But which is more important, fame or status?
Luo Su would never tell it. Wu Zhao might be able to guess it, but she would pretend not to know. She was very satisfied with her life.
To people, to things, to everything.
Wu Zhao left Lingtian Pavilion. She bowed solemnly and said, "I regret that I cannot see the Imperial Master ascend to heaven."
Luo Su left Luoyang with reluctance.
Many people were looking at him.
Wu Zhao, wearing a black and gold robe, tilted her head to look at Luo Junwei, with an inexplicable voice, and then asked knowingly, "Is it possible for the national teacher to come back?"
"No."
Luo Junwei shook her head. "The ancestor will probably travel all over the various countries of Zhuxia now. He wants to visit places where Zhuxia men can be found, and also visit the Luo family members who are out there. This is also a good thing for the Central Plains."
Wu Zhao understood the meaning of Luo Junwei's words.
After the Imperial Master's trip, the surrounding area will be more stable. The Imperial Master does not want to see the various states of China start internal strife at this time.
Recalling every time she met the Imperial Master in the past, Wu Zhao's eyes showed a hint of intoxication.
Luo Qianqiu and Taiping obtained permission and escorted Luo Su all the way to the outskirts of Luoyang City.
Willows are swaying, and the sky is filled with petals.
Luoyang stands majestically to the north of Luo River. The eternal sound of Luo River becomes more excited at this moment. Luo Su knows that it is Xiao Lingjun waving to him.
Lingbing drove the car for Luosu.
Taiping was wearing a golden phoenix robe. She was flamboyant and gorgeous, just like her mother when she was young.
"I called you two out because I have something to say."
Luo Su pondered, "Taiping is the first female emperor in the Central Plains. She has a great impact on the world and must not make any mistakes. She must become a sage monarch. She has the talent. Qiu, you must assist her well. If necessary, you can use the family's foundation. Don't be too frugal. The family today is no longer the same as it used to be."
In the end, he was still worried about this matter. He was not worried about whether his own affairs could succeed, but only worried about whether King Su's instructions had been fulfilled.
In this world, no one respects and obeys King Su more than he does.
Luo Qianqiu bowed and clasped his fists, saying in a deep voice, "Grandfather, Qianqiu understands."
Taiping looked at Luosu with sparkling eyes, her pretty face lit up, "Grandfather, you are going to travel far away, can you give Taiping a reign title that will be used to rule the world in the future?"
Luo Su got on the carriage, which started slowly. A voice came from afar, "The first reign title in history was called Yuanshi, the beginning of everything. You are the first female emperor in history, so the reign title should be Kaiyuan."
Kaiyuan.
Taiping muttered a few words. She liked this era name very much and had a sense of fate about it.
Luo Su left Luoyang like this, in everyone's sight. In the years that followed, local officials would often hear that the imperial teacher had come here, but when they chased after him, the person had disappeared.
I wonder how many legends this journey will leave behind.
As for where Luo Su went.
He is on his way.
There are many roads in the world, all of which are made by people.
His final destination is Winterfell, the place where he was born in this life, and where he will ascend to heaven, but that will probably be many years later.
Now that the destination of the journey has been determined, all that remains is to connect the dots.
So after leaving Luoyang, he went straight to Liaodong.
Yes.
Since he was going to walk around the Tang Dynasty, it would be an irregular circle.
For a circle, the starting point is the end point.
The end point is Liaodong and the starting point is also here.
Luo Su's horse was walking leisurely. The horse looked very old, with yellow fur, but its steps were steady and it did not look old at all.
He walked like this for an unknown amount of time before he arrived at the Liao Principality.
He felt very at home here, even more at home than in Luoyang. Home is where his relatives are, and this is the gathering place of the Luo family.
Duke of Liao, Luo Junjun, never expected that he would meet Luo Su at the end of his life.
Luo Qianqiu's generation has grown up, and the people of the Jun generation are gradually dying out.
"Ancestor."
Luo Junjun wanted to support Luo Su, but found that he looked older than Luo Su, which made him a little at a loss.
Although he was a general who had fought on the battlefield, he did not have that iron-blooded temperament at this moment. Instead, he looked like a child who made a mistake accidentally when he was young and was worried about being punished by his parents.
Luo Su raised his hand and wanted to touch his head, but Luo Junjun lowered his head to Luo Su's chest, so that Luo Su didn't need to raise his hand.
"What a good kid."
As Luo Su said this, the two of them walked around the city. Occasionally, a child ran over and looked at Luo Su curiously with sparkling eyes. Luo Su liked children very much. "These are the hopes of my Luo family and the hopes of the world."
The location of the Liao Principality was once the most important city in Liaodong. After the Liaodong Kingdom was conquered, it became Liaozhou. The Liao Kingdom also came from here and was guarded by the Luo family. The conditions here are much better than those in Winter City, so most of the clansmen migrated here. In Winter City, there are also some people who preside over the annual sacrifices.
Luo Su climbed up to the top of Liaozhou City, looking at the endless wilderness, plains, mountains, rivers and forests, and stroking the city wall covered with sword marks. "Since ancient times, this land of white mountains and black waters has been the source of war. It is of great importance to guard this place. We must pay attention to people's livelihood. As long as they can survive, the people here will not rebel. If we are stuck here, there will be many struggles in the future. If the court cannot support us one day, then it will all depend on our descendants."
Luo Junjun nodded seriously. Every time the Central Plains collapsed, they were unable to deploy their forces to the border areas, and Liaodong was undoubtedly the border.
At that time, it would be difficult to predict where Liaodong would go and what interests would be involved.
The imperial court was far more wary of Liaodong than the Western Regions, so now the imperial court could allow the Western Regions to exist in the form of an alliance, but it was determined to raze Liaodong to the ground.
Luo Junjun naturally has the responsibility to defend the territory, but if one day the local interest groups in Liaodong become alienated from the Central Plains, what choice should he make at that time?
The ancestor was reminding him of this.
This is something that is bound to happen.
In fact, Luo Su didn't think so much. When he proposed the six kingdoms and reopened the fiefdom, he realized that future wars were inevitable.
From the moment a woman rules the world, things will change dramatically again after the future emperor possesses Luo's bloodline.
Kaiyuan Kaiyuan.
It was not only a new era for the Tang Dynasty, but also a new era for the Tang Dynasty royal family.
When a group of royal family members with Su Wang's bloodline come onto the historical stage, will the current old royal family members become opposed to them?
Luo Su thinks it will definitely happen.
Moreover, would the new emperor be frightened when he sees that the royal family members who are gradually becoming more and more distant from him are occupying vast lands, while his own sons have not received any land?
Luo Su thinks it will definitely happen.
What has been will be again.
What has been done will be done again.
The story that happened in Bangzhou will be repeated in the Tang Dynasty, and no one can change it unless the one sitting on the throne is Luo.
But Luo cannot sit on the throne, at least not now.
Luo Su stayed here for a while, and then went all the way south from the Liao Kingdom to the peninsula. The Luo family could be seen everywhere on the land of the Tang Dynasty.
"In the beginning, this peninsula was incorporated into Qi because the three Penglai Islands were not under its rule. It was to give Qi Wang Li Tai a base. Now that the progress of the three Penglai Islands is going smoothly and the route from Jiaodong Peninsula to here is clear, this place should be turned into a county and brought under the control of the Central Plains court. This is the wing of the Central Plains. With this peninsula, we can always ensure that the three Penglai Islands are under the control of the court."
The Three Penglai Islands are a treasure land. Although the resources are not abundant, it is independent of overseas. Most importantly, it is not difficult for the Tang Dynasty to conquer it.
This place used to have a name called Wo, which means short people. Since they were short people, their fighting power would not be better than that of the Tang Dynasty, or would be far inferior.
In the past years, the Tang Dynasty's army had fought against some of the most powerful countries in the world and won every battle. If such a strong army came here, it would be difficult for them to lose, although it might not be easy to chop down melons and vegetables.
So King Li Tai of Qi liked this place very much.
Prince Wei Li Xian also liked this place very much.
However, the three Penglai Islands have undergone a qualitative change now, because enough Han people have landed here. Compared with the carrying capacity of Mobei, the distant Qin State, and the independent Western Regions.
The Jizi Peninsula and the Three Penglai Islands are excellent places to absorb the population from the Central Plains.
The current Central Plains court has abandoned the idea that the more people there are, the more prosperous the country will be. Everyone from top to bottom has realized that without enough land, the large population will only turn into refugees, threatening the court's survival.
Therefore, there are regulations in the Tang Dynasty law, especially for families with more sons, who must undertake more border military service, that is, service in the four protectorates. If there are more, they must report to the government and become one of the migrated people. Most people will be migrated to the three islands of Penglai.
The population growth rate of Jizi Peninsula and Penglai Islands far exceeds that of Qin and Yan. Today, Wei and Qi are much smaller in area than these two countries, but have a larger population. They can be said to have taken advantage of all the benefits of being close to the Central Plains.
Luo Su did not land on the three Penglai Islands. He looked at them from afar across the sea. In fact, he could not see anything because the earth was round, but he thought that was enough.
From Luo, he learned some things about the three Penglai Islands, and that there were mines on the islands.
And it’s a gold mine.
It’s just that the news was blocked by Prince Wei Li Xian. No wonder the Wei State has been able to attract people from the Central Plains so vigorously in recent years.
What will be the reaction of the central court when it learns about this?
Prince Wei Li Xian hid this matter because he naturally wanted to keep it for himself, and perhaps it was not just him, but everyone under him.
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts, and Luo Su seemed to have seen rivers of blood.
It's time to continue south.
