Chapter 1014: The Dusty Future(1/2)
Chapter 1014 The dusty future
Liu Ying did not answer.
"When there is a conflict between the central government and the local government, it will deal with it according to its own laws!" Guo Hao stood up and returned to Yuan Shu's question in plain language.
Immediately, one-third of the officials in the Weiyang Palace stood up to support this. Among them were disciples and former officials of the Yuan family, mainstays of the imperial court, and officials from poor families.
Only those officials who came from aristocratic families had dark faces almost the entire time.
I deeply express my opinion that it is beneficial to the country and the people. The aristocratic families and the common people are governed separately. The two sides do not belong to each other. The people outside the rule and the people within the rule complement each other. This not only recognizes the patriarchal relationship between the state and the aristocratic families, but also avoids the centralization of power by the aristocratic families.
System impact.
This time Yuan Shu directly made it clear in Weiyang Palace that the existence of the aristocratic family was the core reason for the conflict of interests between the central government and local government.
It also clarified the reasons for the problems in the enfeoffment system.
To a certain extent, the interests of local governments are the interests of the local people. In the late Han Dynasty, local people could be directly replaced by local county officials. The conflict between central power and local power can be essentially interpreted as national interests.
Conflict with family interests.
The reason for the fundamental problems in the enfeoffment system lies in the greed of the people and the weak leader and strong branch.
The Yuan family is the father of all your aristocratic families. In order to implement this idea, Yuan Shu directly jumped out to clarify this fact. No matter where this is or what kind of meeting it is, the old Yuan family will be your father today!
Of course, Yuan Shu himself had no such plan, it was all analyzed by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao, who is under house arrest, can be said to be the pillar of Nantian in adversity. These things can be known almost at a glance.
However, Yuan Shao's original intention was to help Yuan Shu analyze the path and let the Yuan family lay more foundations on their way abroad in the future. He had no intention of letting Yuan Shu clarify it at all.
Because many things are unspoken rules, once you say them openly, it will become very embarrassing.
But Yuan Shu doesn't care about that. What Yuan Shu has always believed in is to follow your own path and let others decide.
Therefore, Yuan Shu directly put some things that should have been discussed in private in front of everyone, making it almost impossible for everyone to get off the stage.
For a time, the Weiyang Palace was in chaos. Doctors, doctors, and emissaries kept coming forward with suggestions, and even directly revealed facts that no one had dared to tell the truth in two hundred years.
At this moment, the faces of all the heads of the aristocratic families were as dark as the bottom of a pot. They now want to ask, what benefit will it bring to your Yuan family to pick out these things? What can and cannot be said about your Yuan family?
Know?
Is your Yuan family still not a thing? Or is it that you, Yuan Gongli, are not a thing?
However, something has already happened, so it is meaningless to scold him. Even if the head of the aristocratic family scolds the Yuan family, it will not help. What's more, this matter has been exposed by the Yuan family, so they don't stand up and explain.
Looking at Chen Zichuan's meaningful smile and Guo Hao's calm expression, all the heads of the aristocratic families felt inexplicable pain in their livers.
Looking at Yuan Shu's arrogant look, all the heads of the aristocratic families not only felt pain in their livers, but also in their hearts.
This group of guys are obviously from aristocratic families, but they are actively suppressing them. Looking at the expressions of these people, all the heads of the aristocratic families know that the outcome of this matter is doomed.
The heads of many aristocratic families want to blow the Yuan family's head right now. Are there any of you who want to do this?
In the Han Dynasty, all aristocratic families, all courtiers, and even the wise emperor knew that the so-called court politics of the Han Dynasty were actually just the politics of aristocratic families, because since the founding of the Later Han Dynasty by Liu Xiu, all the court officials were composed of aristocratic families.
The network of disciples and former officials, the kinship relationships of the aristocratic families, and the geographical barriers between east, west, north and south, finally resulted in the fact that even the emperor could not break through this large network called aristocratic family politics.
However, the emperors after Liu Xiu did not need to break through this large network. The Liu family itself was the largest aristocratic family, and they were also the beneficiaries of aristocratic family politics.
Therefore, the emperor only needs to master the imperial mentality and use it to balance the political tendencies of the aristocratic families.
Assume that the Han Empire is regarded as a giant, the royal family is the heart, and the aristocratic family is the oxygen.
When the heart dies, the Han Dynasty naturally dies and becomes another country.
The family is still unaffected and can continue to live, but some oxygen will be consumed in the process of breathing.
Although it may not seem important, once the oxygen is taken away, the heart cannot survive.
And without a giant, it would be difficult for the family to play its valuable role.
After Guangwu Zhongxing, the two became almost inseparable and became one.
Everything that happened in this process was a game between the two sides, but no one ever wanted to make this matter clear directly.
In the past, even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and his officials knew this fact, but out of considerations of face and interests, neither the aristocratic family nor the Emperor of the Han Dynasty would pierce this piece of window paper.
The reason is just one sentence: it is impossible for aristocratic families to let go of the rights they have obtained. After all, the cake is so big, how can they live if they let it go?
The same is true for the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. He has long understood that the overall political environment is the politics of aristocratic families. No matter how you play, if you change a group of people, then change a group of people, the essence is still the same people.
After all, there are only individuals who betray the class, and there is no class that betrays interests. The class of aristocratic families is destined to capture the interests they need to seize. Therefore, no matter how the emperor of the Han Dynasty changes people, he cannot change the general political environment of the aristocratic families.
Not to mention that the Emperor of Han himself was the leader of the political alliance of this aristocratic family.
Naturally, this aspect of family politics is destined to be a tacit fact that both parties understand, but no one will ever expose it.
However, this time the Yuan family overturned the chessboard and slapped it on the faces of all the family heads.
If it were the past, it wouldn't matter. Just listen and be happy. Even if you, the Yuan family, turn over the table, you still can't change the general environment, just like people can't get rid of oxygen at all.
But things are different now. After Guo Hao and Chen Xi were born, the proportion of the aristocratic family in the country has dropped even further, and now it can't even reach one-third.
From the most basic point of view, the soil for the family's survival has begun to loosen, but no one can get off Chen Xi's chariot.
They can only pray that they can still occupy a certain proportion when Chen Xi dies, otherwise it will definitely be a disaster.
Just like the appendix, it's fine if nothing happens, but once the disease develops, the appendix will become the part that needs to be removed.
Although it will cause trauma to the body, there is no doubt that it can recover, which directly solves the problem fundamentally.
The group chat among the heads of the aristocratic families has become noisy. Even Chen Ji, Sima Jun, and Xun Shuang can't sit still.
They couldn't figure out why Yuan Shu did this.
After all, this matter is also a gainer for the Yuan family. How many of those who have spoken out in the court are disciples and former officials of the Yuan family?
They are completely unable to understand Yuan Shu's brain circuit, just like it is difficult for a normal person to understand why there is mental illness.
Yuan Shu's idea is actually very simple.
Do you think I want to eat? No, no, no, I’m here to throw a wrench in the pot!
In the past, they only had one cake, so naturally they could never let go of the rights they had grabbed, because that was the guarantee of their family's life.
But now, after opening a new territory, it is completely different. Even if my old Yuan family throws away the cake and throws it in your face, I can still make a new cake to eat!
After Yuan Shao analyzed it for Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu wanted to understand one thing, that is, since the old Yuan family failed to rebel in the past, they should go out and build an empire on their own.
Since we no longer plan to divide the cake, we might as well just smash the pot and sell it well to Guo Hao. Then it will be easier to go out.
Therefore, this matter is essentially equivalent to Yuan Shu selling the family, and the Yuan family directly betrayed the entire family class.
In fact, it is not surprising that Yuan Shu did this. A rational analysis shows that many of the die-hard allies who were close to the Yuan family have long been liquidated by Li Ru and Jia Xu.
If it weren't for the sake of national stability, Guo Hao stayed with the Yuan family. Due to Yuan Shu's contribution and the factor of disregarding past grudges, the Yuan family would have been liquidated.
At that time, Yuan Shu figured out that it was better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. It turned out that hedging your bets was simply stupid.
They hedged their bets, but in the end they still had to look at other people's faces, and their so-called allies could only pretend to be dead.
Although these are the rules of the game, Yuan Shu is a person who doesn't follow the rules.
Come on, I've smashed everything for you, let's see what you can do.
As a chaotic and evil person, Yuan Shu doesn't care about other people's opinions. If you have the ability, come and kill me.
The political situation of the family has already faded away after Guo Hao and Chen Xi entered the court.
Of course, this does not mean that this political situation has subsided. In fact, it can only be said that it has avoided the general trend and hidden behind the scenes.
This can be regarded as a way of survival for aristocratic families. If it is not enough for one generation, just avoid it. After all, it is politically impossible to live forever. Even if it is said that I live forever, you will always be the prince. The problem is that the emperor always It is necessary to die.
Even the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty could only dominate for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Just like the current situation of the Yuan family, it is true that this generation has softened, but the bottom line of their development is still there. There are still a quarter of the officials in Weiyang Palace who are the disciples and former officials of their family.
These people support each other, and the Yuan family continues to exchange interests behind the scenes to ensure the career of these people. Ten years later, twenty years later, thirty years later, this generation will eventually go down, and their positions will be vacated sooner or later. Sooner or later, the tentacles will be in place again.
After all, Chen Xi is facing a group, not an individual. It is not that they have never seen a person who dominates the world, but as long as they are human beings, they cannot continue like this forever.
Even Chen Xi's own family will become a noble family and become a member of it, or they will be exterminated and declared completely extinct.
That was the same sentence. It was an environment that no aristocratic family or big boss could escape from before.
But now, the general environment has changed directly, and the unbreakable unspoken rules seem to have become a piece of paper, when Yuan Shu made this thing explicit.
In the brief chaos and quarrels, all the heads of the aristocratic families understood that they had no choice but to be sentenced, and it was precisely when the Yuan family saw this day that they made it clear.
They argued fiercely, but in the final analysis, it was the two men above who made the decision.
And because the general environment has changed, it seems that revealing this thing is not very bad news for the family who have basically decided to go abroad to make cakes.
After all, it is different from the past that if you let go, you will definitely die. If you don't let go, if you fight to the death, you may live a better life. Therefore, you have no choice but to hold on tightly to the rights in your hands.
Now, although the Yuan family is a bastard, the other party has clearly demonstrated interests that are enough to make everyone pay attention. Compared with the family that could only divide the cake in the past, but now can make cakes, this proposal is not completely impossible to consider.
Considered.
"This kind of merit will last for a long time and will be beneficial to all generations. Yang seconded the proposal!" The head of the Yang family took a step forward and said with great solemnity, and then stood beside the Yuan family.
The Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third Duke, and the Yang family, the fifth generation and the third Duke, stood together.
To be continued...
