Chapter 1101: Rebuttal
Yizhou.
Luo Hong looked at the telegram from Qingzhou, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
Among the many cities of the empire, Yizhou, a city located in the land of Bashu, was relatively late to telegraph.
It's just that in order to achieve the reach of the empire's news, the Telecommunications Department still wasted a lot of effort to get the telegraph here.
"Ge Yiren has been arrested." Luo Xin handed a telegram from Luo's family to Luo Hong, and then picked up another telegram. "It's strange, why did the emperor suddenly let the commander of the military region go back to Qingzhou to participate in the military council."
"You can't go back to Qingzhou, the emperor has clearly set up a Hongmen banquet, waiting for you to go." Luo Hong said categorically.
Luo Xin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and he said, "Brother, what are you talking about, why did the emperor put a Hongmen banquet for me?" “
Since coming to Yizhou, Luo Hong has been in Yizhou for a while, but he has not mentioned the relationship between him and Ge Yiren to Luo Xin.
Now a telegram made him realize that he had no way out now, and once Ge Yiren confessed, he would not be able to escape the punishment of the imperial law at all.
Seeing that Luo Hong's face was very bad, Luo Xin asked again, "Brother, what's wrong?" “
Taking a deep breath, Luo Hong said, "Do you know why Ge Yiren was arrested? ”
"Maybe it has something to do with those who oppose the emperor." Luo Xin also disliked Ge Yiren, so he was very happy to learn that Ge Yiren had been arrested.
Luo Hong nodded, "You're right, since the emperor ascended the throne, what he has done has become more and more excessive, and he has not considered the wealthy nobles who once laid the foundation for him, but he has repeatedly issued decrees to restrict our rights, and now it is even more excessive, and it has completely cut off the career of the nobles, which has caused many people to be dissatisfied." ”
Luo Xin's expression was a little surprised, and he said: "Even so, but the emperor is also for the long-term development of the empire in the future, eldest brother, the times have changed, more than ten years ago, would our soldiers use Han-style rifles and artillery cannons?" Besides, the emperor just asked the nobles to restrain themselves and not override the laws of the empire. ”
"Elm head." Luo Hong heard that he hated iron and steel, and Ge Yiren was suddenly arrested, which made him a little impatient.
Now that Xiao Ming's telegram has arrived, it is clear that he is worried that Luo Xin will rebel with him, so that he has been exposed, and now he must make a desperate bet.
"If he can casually make decrees against us today, and in the future he can casually throw us into prison, have you never thought of restricting his rights and letting the world discuss state affairs together?" Luo Hong is already quite straightforward.
Luo Xin was still smiling, but Luo Hong's face changed suddenly when he said this, "Brother, this is a big crime of killing the head, how can you talk nonsense, the emperor is the emperor, if there is no him, can there be today's empire?" Don't mention the matter of restricting the monarch's power, as far as I am concerned, the emperor's decision has never been missed. “
"He's good now, won't he be wrong in the future, do you want to see the empire fall apart because of his mistakes? Let me ask you, after a hundred years of the emperor, can Xiao Yat take on this heavy responsibility? Luo Hong asked.
"Xiao Yi is the crown prince, he grew up beside the emperor since he was a child, so he naturally continued the emperor's style of acting, and no matter how bad he is, he will not be a faint monarch."
"What about Yat Siu's heirs? Who can guarantee that the emperor will always sit on this throne? “
"Isn't it true that if you limit the monarch's power, you won't faint the monarch?" Luo Xin said angrily.
"At least when the monarch is in a state of despair, we can stop him, not helpless, Luo Xin, the empire belongs to all of us, not just the emperor." Luo Hong said bewildermently.
Luo Xin shook his head, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Who told you that? It's just nonsense, the emperor is the head of the empire, only the parents can be orderly, if many nobles have decision-making power, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not become the spokesmen of their respective forces in the court, and at that time, as long as it is not in their interests, they will tear each other down, and then the empire will really be over. ”
"Luo Xin, you are not lightly bewitched by Xiao Ming, all he wants is Xiao Jiayong to sit in the country, why!" Luo Hong blurted out.
Luo Xin's heart sank, and he remembered Luo Hong's expression when he saw Ge Yiren's arrest and couldn't help but say, "Brother, tell me the truth, are you involved with Ge Yiren?" ”
When he said this, Luo Xin's tone was already quite stern.
"So far, I won't hide it from you, I have secretly discussed with Ge Yiren about restricting the imperial power, and when the time is ripe, we will gather the family and the army to force the emperor to accept our advice, but I didn't expect Ge Yiren to suddenly have an accident, which I didn't expect, but it's not too late, we still have a chance, Luo Xin, as long as you and I show your support for restricting imperial power, the world's wealthy families will respond." Luo Hong only grabbed Luo Xin's hand, like a mad demon.
Throwing Luo Hong away, Luo Xin's eyes were full of incredulity, "Brother, are you crazy?" You are now the head of the Luo family, and by doing so, you are bringing the Luo family into the abyss! I wouldn't agree. “
"Now you don't have a choice!" There was a hint of coldness in Luo Hong's smile, "You still don't understand?" This time, the emperor summoned the commanders of the six military regions to test you, the emperor is already suspicious of us, even if you return to Qingzhou, you will be immediately dismissed, you and I are both members of the Luo family, and no one can escape. ”
When Luo Xin heard this, his face turned a little pale.
Luo Hong continued: "Also, what did you forget about Zhu Sansi? What is he, why can he be one of the six commanders, how many years have you and I followed the emperor on the battlefield, and how many years has he followed? Can't you see the emperor's absurdity from this incident? ”
Luo Xin did have a bad opinion on Zhu Sansi, he didn't look down on Zhu Sansi, but simply felt that Zhu Sansi climbed too fast, making them seem insignificant.
Seeing Luo Xin's hesitant expression, Luo Hong was overjoyed and said proudly: "If we succeed this time, from now on, there will be no more such ridiculous things, listen to my brother's right, if Xiao Ming insists on going his own way, there is still a third prince Xiao Zhen in Yizhou, according to the eldest and youngest, Xiao Zhen should be the heir in line." “
Luo Xin looked at Luo Hong for a while when he heard this, and he sighed for a long time, "Brother, the foolish brother knows that the emperor did not appoint you as one of the commanders, which makes you dissatisfied, but now you are not only treasonous, but also will bring the Luo family into a place of no return, and also, what do you think the emperor set up a long history in the army for?" I dare to guarantee that once I declare my support for restricting the monarchy, the soldiers will mutini immediately, and Huang Changshi will lead the troops to arrest you and me, this southwest army is full of cadets who graduated from the Qingzhou Army Academy, they have their own thoughts, they are not the generals of our Luo family, since they entered the academy, there is only one person who is loyal, and that is the emperor, so brother, for the sake of the Luo family, I can only be sorry. “
After a pause, he said, "Come on, detain Luo Hong!" ”
