Chapter 103

After Luo Yan left, Luo Mingxuan didn't move, still stood at the door in astonishment, looking at Luo Yan's back who was furiously going away, dazed,

Since he was sensible, his mind was much smarter and more resolute than ordinary people. Basically, what he taught was easy to understand. He also knew what he wanted from an early age, and he would plan his own future path, never artificially. He bothered, and no one ever taught him a lesson.

This was the first time someone had taught him a lesson, and it had been taught by Luo Yan, whom he had always regarded as a child who knew nothing.

However, he was still speechless after being taught a lesson, and something in his heart was faintly shaken by his words.

Has he really changed?

In the past, Luo Mingxuan didn't think so. He always felt that his character was extremely firm, and he would not change or waver easily.

Over the years, he feels that the only thing that has changed in him is that because of Luo Yan's accident, he has a strange feeling of softening his heart.

Regarding the aspect of sacrifice, he never cared about personal hopes, he only calculated whether the sacrifices of these people were worth it?It used to be, and it is now.

But just now, after Luo Yan finished cursing, Luo Mingxuan suddenly realized that he really changed subtly.

This change itself has nothing to do with his plan. The plan he set up from the beginning was to first become a minister step by step, and then find ways to ascend the throne as emperor.

There were no problems at every stage before. He won the hearts of the people and the king through years of serving the people wholeheartedly as an official. He followed his plan step by step to the last step. Now he only needs the last step to try his best to become the king. emperor.

He is now walking according to his plan. He has not gone astray, but he has forgotten his original intention for doing all this.

Why did he want to be emperor in the first place?

Because of his father's stupidity and incompetence, the treacherous officials and concubines were in power, and his mother's empress died tragically outside the palace, causing complaints from the people.He wanted to replace his father, avenge his mother, and let the people live and work in peace.He wanted to save the world and calm the people, which was his original intention to be emperor.

But now his path is on the right track, but his original intention has long been forgotten in the struggle for power and status for so many years.

Luo Mingxuan stayed up all night in a daze, and early the next morning, someone rushed over and knocked on his door.

"Master Prime Minister, Lord Prime Minister, something has happened! It's reversed! It's reversed!"

Luo Mingxuan didn't sleep all night and suffered from a severe headache. Hearing the sound, he hurriedly sat up, dressed neatly and strode out, frowning and asked: "What's wrong? Who's wrong?"

The boy couldn't say clearly, he just said over and over again: "The people have rebelled, and something big has happened."

Luo Mingxuan was too lazy to waste words with him, and asked where he was, and when he learned that he was outside the city gate, he frowned and strode hurriedly towards the gate tower.

It was still early, and the city gate hadn't opened yet. Luo Mingxuan climbed up the gate tower, and as far as he could see, there were dark crowds, either wrapped in sacks or pushing carts, gathered from all directions, gathered at the city gate downstairs.

It was time to open the city gate, but there were nearly ten thousand people gathered outside the city gate, and each of them looked angry, and the number was still increasing. How dare the officers guarding the city open the city gate? Seeing Luo Mingxuan now When he came, he nodded and bowed as if he saw the backbone, and asked: "Master Prime Minister, look at it, do you want to send the imperial army to expel it?"

Luo Mingxuan looked down at those common people, pursed his lips and said, "What are they here for?"

The officer guarding the city is clearer than the young man, but his expression is still a little embarrassed: "It is strange to say that they are here to deliver food and join the army. They have always been hiding when they heard that there was going to be a war." , I haven’t even said that I’m going to fight, it’s the first time I’ve seen so many people come together and volunteer to send food to join the army!”

As soon as the officer guarding the city finished speaking, the people below couldn't help seeing that it was the time for the city gate to open but there was still no movement. They all shouted excitedly: "Quickly open the city gate! Let's deliver food! Let's join the army! We swear to expel the Western Zhou Dynasty! Protect my wife and children! Protect my country!"

After shouting, tens of thousands of people raised their arms and shouted, resounding through the clouds above the entire Yangcheng.

"We're here to deliver food! We're here to join the army! We swear to expel the Western Zhou Dynasty! Protect my wife and children! Protect my country!"

"We're here to deliver food! We're here to join the army! We swear to expel the Western Zhou Dynasty! Protect my wife and children! Protect my country!"

.......

Naturally, Luo Mingxuan was not the only one who received the news. The other civil and military ministers in Yangcheng also got the news, and Luo Mingxuan and Luo Mingxuan went to the city gate tower one after another, and what they saw happened to be this scene.

Li Xiao also received the news, stood next to Luo Mingxuan, pursed his lips and looked at the crowd of people shouting and raising their arms. Hearing their deafening demands, he pondered for a moment and turned his head to look at Luo Mingxuan and said in a low voice: "The border gate is eight hundred miles away. Hurry up, Li Jingyao is still alive, and is now in the barracks."

Luo Mingxuan narrowed his eyes suddenly when he heard this.

The people below were still shouting angrily: "We are here to deliver food! We are here to join the army! We vow to expel the Western Zhou Dynasty to the death! Protect my wife and children! Protect my country!"

The general was already in charge of the battle, and upon hearing such an indignant voice, the blood in his body was immediately ignited, he turned his head to Li Xiao and Luo Mingxuan and said, "His Royal Highness, Prime Minister Luo, please fight!"

The officials under Luo Mingxuan's command were also aroused a little bloody, hesitant and tangled.

Luo Chi has been holding it in for many days, but he couldn't hold it anymore, he took the lead and walked up to Luo Mingxuan, cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "Brother, I invite you to fight!"

Luo Chi took the lead, and the other generals under Luo Mingxuan's command couldn't bear it either, they followed Luo Chi and Luo Mingxuan cupped their hands and said: "Prime Minister, I invite you to fight!"

Seeing this, some of the civil servants who had been aroused could not help but followed up and cupped their hands at Luo Mingxuan: "Prime Minister, please wait!"

All of a sudden, the clouds above Yangcheng were invaded by shouts of "Prime Minister, ministers please fight!" "We are here to deliver food! We are here to join the army! We vow to expel the Western Zhou Dynasty to the death! Protect my wife and children! Protect my family and country!" Other voices emerge.

Luo Mingxuan pursed his lips and frowned to look at them, looking down at those Liming people.

Luo Yan ran around all night, and came back from a distance with people riding horses. He raised his arms and shouted: "We swear to expel the Western Zhou Dynasty! Protect my wife and children! Protect my home and country!"

Shouting and walking down to the front of the city gate under the courtesy of the crowd.

Because of Luo Yan's appearance in the crowd, another wave of riots was triggered, and everyone stood together: "We swear to expel the Western Zhou Dynasty! Protect my wife and children! Protect my family and country!"

Luo Mingxuan stared at Luo Yan, who was standing at the front of the crowd and sat on a tall horse, but turned around and lowered his head to face the crowd, paused, and curled his lips.

Li Xiao looked at him puzzled: "It's such a time, you can still laugh?"

Luo Mingxuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Li Xiao: "I'm just laughing at myself. I keep saying that I study and become an official for the sake of the country and the people, but ever since I entered the court as an official, I've been immersed in intrigues every day to cheat power and wealth. I have already forgotten how long it has been since I went to the people, and how long have I not really cared about the sufferings of the people. On the contrary, Ah Yan, who refused to enter the court and found it troublesome to be an official, has been walking with me all the time. I once said that the road to go, even if he walked at a position higher than the people and farther than the people, he never forgot the Liming people who followed behind him, but I just kept looking up at the higher and farther place, completely I forgot to look back, so what if I really sat in that position in the end? Losing the hearts of the people, losing the world, and leaving a lifetime of infamy, is this what I want?"

Li Xiao looked up at him: "So? What are you going to do?"

Luo Mingxuan looked up at him: "I want to gamble."

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Is it a gamble?"

Luo Mingxuan looked at him deeply: "Are you blaming me?"

Li Xiao laughed: "What are you to blame? I chose the road. Besides, if you don't send troops, he may not die. The news I received just now is that the private soldiers in Li Jingyao's fief have moved. And some of them are still in Li Jingyao's house. They followed suit when they first left the Yu Kingdom, but they kept it a secret until they mobilized the army this time."

It was not surprising that Luo Mingxuan heard the words. It was impossible for Li Jingyao to go to the Western Zhou Dynasty unprepared.

After making a decision, Luo Mingxuan ordered the gatekeepers to open the city gate, leaving a few people behind to deal with the aftermath, while he brought the officials back to the palace to discuss matters concerning the expedition.

Since there is going to be a war, the conscription of soldiers and food must be a must. Although the state of Yu has developed rapidly in the past few years, the taxation is not heavy, and the treasury is still empty in a short period of time, so it can only collect food from the people. Over the years, thanks to the efforts of Luo Yan and Luo Mingxuan, the State of Yu has established its own system for expropriating grain and fighting wars. Although these things are urgent, they are not chaotic.

When Luo Yan saw the announcement of the conscription of food and soldiers, he knew that the matter was done. Although he didn't know whether his elder brother sent troops willingly or was forced by him, but no matter what, at least he took the first step.

Then Luo Yan implemented the second step of his plan to enroll in the army.

Luo Yan returned home after signing up, and the officer in charge of conscription heard that Luo Yan had also signed up to join the army, and immediately sent the news to Luo Mingxuan in the palace.

Luo Mingxuan, who was discussing with the ministers about the expedition, frowned so much that it could kill a fly. There is no need for Yangcheng on the battlefield. On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and no one can protect anyone. Luo Mingxuan doesn't care about Luo Yan's troubles at home. But in any case, it is impossible to let him go to the battlefield.

Therefore, Luo Mingxuan, a busy man, returned home with Luo Chi for the first time that night.

Luo Yan had just finished sleeping at that time, and was packing up the things he was going to take away in his room when he heard that Luo Mingxuan and Luo Chi had come back together, so he told him to go to the main courtyard, thinking that his elder brother was going to settle accounts with him , inexplicably a little guilty.

But then I thought about it again, did he do anything wrong?What is it?It should be his elder brother!

Luo Yan put down his things and bravely went to the main courtyard, but as soon as he entered the door, Luo Yu hugged him and asked anxiously: "A Yan, your elder brother and second brother said you are going to be a soldier?"

Luo Yushi is not young, and Luo Yan was afraid that she would be bad for her health if she was so excited, so she hurriedly helped her sit down: "Mother, sit down and listen to me first. There is a saying that the world is prosperous, and everyone is responsible. As a Man, I also want to do my part to defend the country!"

Luo Yushi didn't listen to his big principles, and cried out: "I don't care, I don't care, mother won't let you go! That's a battlefield, you have thin arms and legs, you don't have any force, you are just an embroidered Pillow, what are you going to do?"

Luo Yan: ...

Have you ever hurt your son so much?Is it my mother?
