Chapter 457 (2/2)
Seeing Li Yuanhe's expression, Luo Yan just shook his head and said, ”you haven't touched the officialdom before, but you don't know the situation of our post Qin state. At that time, Lord Luo led his troops to help the royal family of Daqin to fight down the mountains and rivers of the later Qin Dynasty, which was a meritorious official in the founding of the country. It's just that the royal family is suspicious. Although today's emperor is still very grateful to Lord Luo, his majesty is also old after all. In addition, he has been addicted to wine and sex all the year round, and his body has been getting worse year by year. If your majesty is not here today, I'm afraid Lord Luo's days will come to an end. ”
Li Yuanhe couldn't help asking, ”can't you? For the royal family, Lord Luo was the benefactor who rescued them from the capital of Emperor Qin? Are they going to bite the hand that feeds them? ”Hearing Li Yuanhe's question, Luo Yan said with a bitter smile: ”brother Li! Can a great kindness be more attractive than power? Lord Luo's prestige in the army of the post Qin state can be said to be unmatched. Will the future emperor not be suspicious? Not to mention anything else, the generals stationed all over the country and holding heavy troops accounted for more than half of the whole state of Qin! Great achievements! How many emperors can really do without guessing and avoiding? ”
Luo Yan said that, although Li Yuanhe's heart how much also some for Luo Tianhan Ming injustice, but is also silent silence. Luo Yan continued: ”next, I'll tell you about these princes again! There are five sons under his Majesty's knees, but he has not established a prince. The first Prince wins, the second prince wins Nai, the third prince wins Zhen, the fourth Prince wins his son and the fifth Prince wins the sheep. Except whether the first Prince wins is born immediately by the queen, the other four princes are all born by the queen, so they all have the right to inherit the throne. It is precisely because today's emperor has never made a prince, so all the princes have been fighting with each other all day long, but they are fighting against each other in the capital city. However, the emperor's majesty doesn't intervene much. Unless it involves the fundamental affairs of the country, otherwise, he will watch the princes fight back and forth. ”
Li Yuanhe's eyes were staring at him. If it's said that in order to fight for the throne, it's just that brothers don't care about brotherhood. Why does even the emperor acquiesce in his son's struggle? However, Luo Yan immediately answered the question for Li Yuanhe: ”in fact, this is also the old practice left over by the Daqin Dynasty, that is, to let his descendants in the struggle for the throne, to exercise the ability of the future emperor. Those who can defeat their brothers and ascend the throne are not bad, so they don't have to worry about the decline of Daqin. However, this old rule was abolished by the emperor at that time 100 years ago, which also led to the decline of the national strength of Daqin, and there were some reasons for the collapse of Daqin. Therefore, after the establishment of the post Qin state, today's emperor also began to restore this system. ”
”We are far away from each other. Let's just say that these princes are fighting. At the beginning, several princes also set their targets on Lord Luo. If they could get the support of Lord Luo, they would have an absolute advantage in the struggle for the throne. However, Lord Luo followed the emperor's instructions and did not interfere in the struggle for the prince, which inevitably caused resentment among the princes and began to deal with Lord Luo three times and four times. Among them, the second prince and the third prince also began to target our subordinates. Although I didn't take charge of the troops and horses of Jingnan City, I mastered most of the internal affairs of Jingnan City, so the second prince and the third prince sent people to win me over
Speaking of this, Luo Yan was bitterly smiling, shaking his head and saying, ”but now the situation is not clear, how dare I turn to one of them at will? You should know that if you are involved in the struggle for the throne, if you take refuge in the wrong side, you will be killed in the future! ”
Hearing this, Li Yuanhe began to have some understanding, and quickly asked, ”is this general Wang also a subordinate of one of the princes?”
Luo Yan nodded and said: ”yes, General Wang Ye is actually one of the subordinates sent by the third prince Yingzhen to Jingnan City, but the name of the third prince is just and bright. Even other princes and Lord Luo can't find a way to refuse! Originally, Lord Luo intended to promote you yesterday, but I didn't expect to be destroyed by Xu Wei, that rude man! ”
Now Li Yuanhe has fully understood what character Luo Tianhan is, how can he not know that the king is also a subordinate of the third prince, and how can he not know that both the second prince and the third prince have come to woo Luo Yan. Now that he has agreed to become Wang Ye's subordinate, it means that Luo Yan, who recommended himself, has officially joined the third prince's account. Luo Yan, who originally intended to drift between the two princes and Luo Tianhan, has completely lost the room for interaction among the three parties.
At the thought of this, Li Yuanhe again showed a look of shame. For Luo Yan, he also felt very guilty, but he did not mean to regret. Even before Li Yuanhe knew this, he would also make such a choice, which is related to Li Yuanhe's self-esteem.
