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.
Do you think the government decree is something you can issue if you want? Hehe, in fact, we nod, our helpers below supervise, and the bottom is also our local foundation for execution, emperor? Don't be ridiculous, we don't have enough power, the government decree
You can't even leave Chang'an!
Most of the time, emperors may pretend that the world belongs to them. In fact, as much as they don't want to admit it, at least from the end of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the world really belongs to aristocratic families, and the difference is only in degree.
Rich families of the Eastern Han Dynasty like the Yuan family have essentially penetrated into every aspect of the country, to an extent that even Chen Xi would find it difficult to eradicate.
It can be said that the violent elimination of aristocratic families, apart from the instant collapse of this long-established empire, Chen Xi cannot see any hope at all. This group of families called aristocratic families, but in fact almost political power, has long become an indispensable part of this era.
Assume that the Han Empire is regarded as a giant and the aristocratic family is the tissue fluid. Although it seems that the tissue fluid is not as important as the giant's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, in fact, if all the tissue fluid is removed, people will not survive.
Instead, they used bait to induce them to gradually let go, peeling it off from the body of the empire like pulling out a cocoon, gradually filling the vacancies caused by the departure of these aristocratic families, and repairing the wounds they had caused. This giant
It should be able to return to its original greatness once again. After all, the family was not necessary from the beginning.
What Chen Xi is doing now is to rely on the method of enfeoffment to lure these aristocratic families to leave, so that the country can once again return to the level of the Qin Dynasty and the early Western Han Dynasty where state administrative power was directly delegated to the countryside. Government orders can travel all over the world after leaving Chang'an.
.
Only by truly achieving this step can we fundamentally eliminate the influence of clans and powerful forces that exist in the entire Han Dynasty, and completely solve the problem that imperial power does not extend to counties, but only clans, and clans are autonomous. Autonomy depends on ethics, and ethics creates gentry.
And similarly, only by solving this problem can the soil for the survival of the family be completely eliminated. However, as long as the original family still exists on this soil, Chen Xi will never be able to eliminate the survival of the family unless Li You makes a big move.
the foundation of.
The essence of reformism is to make peace with each other. The higher the means, the wider the scope of satisfaction. This is what Chen Xi's current method is, because the scope of his ability is too large, so large that it is almost revolutionary, so that the aristocratic family has already tended to
Compromise, then go out to build a country, leaving domestic land to the Han family, and this is also an important reason why the Yuan family dared to expose the politics of the family.
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.
Naturally, this aspect of family politics is destined to be a tacit fact on both sides' minds. They both understand the situation, but no one will ever expose it.
However, this time the Yuan family directly overturned the chessboard and slapped it on the faces of all the heads of the aristocratic families. Now I will show you the methods you have been using to fool the world!
The old Yuan family mobilized one-third of the court officials. Although some of them were seconded because the bill was indeed good and beneficial to the country, a large part of them were disciples of the old Yuan family.
Old official.
This is a big court meeting. So many people are disciples and former officials of the Yuan family. If you think about it carefully, how many people who are not from the aristocratic family will be left in this court.
Compared with the party struggles of later generations, after the old Yuan family exposed a fact that everyone had always known but turned a blind eye to, the politics of the family were truly revealed in front of everyone.
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!
In this case, if my old Yuan family is unhappy, then I won't eat it. I didn't have the capital to be stubborn before, but now, the capital of the old Yuan family can support the self-esteem of the old Yuan family.
The pot is broken and the chessboard is put in your face. Our old Yuan family is here to expose this for you. You have been covering it up and relying on the methods you have been relying on.
Aristocratic family politics? Since our Yuan family has jumped out of the pond and is no longer a domestically raised Jinlin, I will not buy it for you other aristocratic families. Instead, I will buy it for the Han Dynasty, so that the Han Empire can have the honor to take back all the places in the Central Plains.
power!
The old Yuan family is invincible. I can't say anything to you mentally retarded people!
Therefore, the old Yuan family and the entire court were in agreement, and a large number of people said that this was a policy that would truly benefit future generations and begged the eldest princess to issue an edict.
Liu Tong was like a cat, staring at Yuan Da with sharp eyes.
To be honest, Liu Tong's previous idea was just to create trouble for Chen Xun, Sima and the Yuan family. She didn't think much about whether it would pass or not.
It is true that Liu Tong could think of this method, which means that he has indeed figured out part of the context of this matter, but if he really sees it as clearly as Cao Cao, Chen Xi and others, then he is overestimating Liu Tong.
In fact, if Liu Tong really understood the impact of this matter, then he should never bring it up casually like this. Instead, he should discuss it with the real pillars of the country again and again, and then make any comments after confirming the situation.
However, the twists and turns of fate are that you have no idea what some big guys had in mind at the beginning when they did certain things. No one can tell whether the times create heroes or the heroes create times.
.
Therefore, except for Liu Tong, no one knows what kind of thoughts the other party holds when talking about this matter. They can only think deeply about it, and the current situation, once you think about it, something will happen.
Just like World War I, it was obviously just a Serbian youth who killed the Austro-Hungarian crown prince with one shot. If we really want to say it, it did not lead to the outbreak of a world war.
But sometimes, some things, when they happen in certain special places, can directly detonate certain hidden dangers, and the same is true for Liu Tong's sentence.
Although to Liu Tong it was just a joke to add to the confusion, but at this coincidental point, in a situation involving the vital interests of the aristocratic family, the crux was instantly identified.
Coupled with Cao Cao's unpredictable smile, Chen Xi's meaningful expression, and Liu Bei's intriguing eyes, all the aristocratic families had to think about whose idea it was.
Liu Tong’s idea? Are you kidding me? It’s not that the head of the aristocratic family underestimates Liu Tong, but given Liu Tong’s condition, I’m afraid he still doesn’t have a complete idea of the politics of the aristocratic family.
Even with Liu Tong's current status in the court, as long as the ministers do not speak out in this regard, Liu Tong may not understand what the overall political situation is like until his death.
The political situation of the family has already faded away after Liu Caosun 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.
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.
In the end, these dominant figures either transformed into new aristocratic families in order to pass on their will, just like these other families, or they died and put an end to their own era, and then entered a new reincarnation.
Now is the era of Chen Xi. This is a fact recognized by all aristocratic families. Chen Xi is more insane than any other branch of the Chen family. The only thing that many aristocratic families can be thankful for is that Chen Xi has a good temper.
.
However, no matter how good-natured they are, in Chen Xi's era, these families all chose to lie dormant, that is, they did not fight or do anything, silently waiting for the end of this era, and then the demons danced wildly again.
