Chapter 456

Liu Yan's sense of the aristocratic family is neither good nor bad. What he has an opinion on is the system of nine grade Zhongzheng system.

In fact, the nine grade Zhongzheng system was quite good at the beginning of its establishment. Its purpose is to promote more talents for the imperial court. Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the system is implemented by people, it will deteriorate. The enlightened people of the older generation died one after another. The new power holders moved towards the road of exclusive interests, tangled with a number of vested interests, cut off the upward channels at the grass-roots level, and the society became rigid.

Once a vassal state in the northwest frontier, Qin removed the influence of old forces because of Shang Yang's reform and gave the grass-roots a convenient channel for upward movement. Qin radiated unimaginable power and swept across the six in one central plains from west to East. This example shows that the state is not just held by those in power. Only by working together can it create prosperity.

After the first emperor ruled the world, there were difficulties. A new group of military aristocrats mastered a large amount of land, and the military aristocrats with a large amount of land also mastered a large enough population, forcing the first emperor to reform again, that is, to adopt a centralized system of power.

There is one thing in common between the centralized reform and Shang Yang's reform, that is, to eliminate the influence of a class and weaken the power of that class. When the first emperor was still alive, he could use coercion to eliminate any dissatisfaction, but the reward that the high-level should have received did not come true, and the millions of soldiers who swept through the Six Harmonies did not receive the due reward has become a big problem.

The collapse of the Qin Empire was mainly caused by some things. The reason is that the first emperor made a big joke on millions of Qin soldiers. The soldiers worked hard and didn't get a return. The land reward they should have received was delayed again and again. Not only did they not get the reward they deserved, but the corvee and military service were getting heavier and heavier. The first emperor is still alive. Of course, he can force everything, but what happens after the first emperor dies?

The top level of the Qin Empire first experienced the courtesy and persuasion of the first emperor, and then was persecuted and purged by Hu Hai. As a result, not only the bottom level was disappointed, but also the top level felt cheated. For a time of prosperity, the Qin Empire had no generals in the face of local rebellions, and even had to rely on criminals to pacify the rebels. That was the result of the previous planting.

"In the face of the country falling into a dying situation, the Great Wall Corps on the north line reluctantly went south to counter the rebellion, and the southern Xinjiang corps cut off the road to the north and sat by." Liu Yan summoned all the officials in Linzi capital that night and set up a banquet for entertainment. Some words should be said: "everything is just because the reward promised by the king is not in place!"

At the beginning, they didn't quite understand what happened. Liu Yan rarely talked at length about the history of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. They listened for a long time, but they were stunned when they heard the last sentence.

Sima Qian, who wrote the historical records, said a long time ago that "all the bustling world is for profit; all the bustling world is for profit". This sentence explains the truth of the world, can explain the reasons for one's life struggle, and can also explain the process of the strength or weakness of any dynasty.

"Shi Gong (Sima Qian) said exactly." Sang Yu was one of the stunned gods just now. When he came back, he looked like laughing: "it's natural to pursue profits in life.", Then he said "ha ha" twice.

Tonight's Palace City Banquet is held in a drizzle. The place where the king and his ministers are located is zhangtai, an environment with covered rubble on the roof but empty around.

It's cool when there is rain and wind. It's not a comfortable thing to blow cold wind in winter. Even if the king's every move has no intention, it will be speculated whether it has any deep meaning. With Liu Yan's long speech in front, the ministers blowing the cold wind are now thinking that arranging in such a cold place must be to make them alert.

"Although the world is big, it is small for big men." Ji Chang raised the wine bottle and drank it up. After putting it down, he said loudly: "the old events of the pre Qin Dynasty cannot be repeated in the Han Dynasty!"

Some people also pondered that although they talked so much in a vague way, they only revealed the major interests. No matter how small the interests are, a reshuffle will lead to the redistribution of interests. When the Han army is going south, it is more targeted to talk about those.

The big man is the big man of the Han people. The Han state has a number of new vested interests. How to distribute this big cake in the world can only be decided by the big man. Then it is inevitable to clean up the old vested interests.

When the king was about to invade the south, he was in great spirits.

At the end of the palace city banquet, everyone went out of the palace city. Their interest was beyond imagination. They had to invite each other to a place to continue drinking and get drunk all night.

"The king's meaning is obvious." There are many people opposite sang Yu, but there is a lot worse at the administrative level. He said with a rare serious expression: "the battle of the southern expedition is a battle of shuffling cards."

The South and north of the Yangtze River form two different worlds.

In the north of the Yangtze River, because of the rule of the Hu people for decades, and the old story of "crossing south in clothes", there are not many families that can be called aristocratic families in the north, and some can only be regarded as big families and powerful.

In the south of the Yangtze River, too many northern aristocratic families moved to the past, squeezing the space of local aristocratic families in the south. At the same time, it also brought all places into the scope of aristocratic family interests, resulting in the decline of local aristocratic families in the South and a large number of damage to the interests of civilians.

Because of the birth of the Han state, in fact, a number of new emerging forces are developing at a high speed, which is an emerging force group with Liu Yan as the core. In addition to Liu Yan, a group of emerging power groups, the Hu family, not to mention first, only the Cui family in Boling, the Zhang family in Zhaojun, the Guo family in Zhongshan and the Wang family in Taiyuan.

The Cui family in Boling and the Wang family in Taiyuan have chosen to stand in line. Cui's daughter has become the concubine of the king of Han. The Wang Ji of the Wang family in Taiyuan defected to the state of Han after the war of Xuzhou.

The Guo family in Zhongshan and the Zhang family in Zhaojun were still working for Shijie before Shihu withdrew into Bingzhou. When the Han army arrived, the Guo family in Zhongshan immediately jumped back. Ran min and LV Tai were able to easily conquer the counties in Zhaodi. In fact, they were assisted by the Guo family. Zhang's family in Zhao county was secretly approaching the Han state, but unlike Guo's family in Zhongshan, they immediately jumped back.

In the Central Plains, the sangs family is the most like an aristocratic family. In the past, the children of the sangs served as officials everywhere. Especially after the Han army conquered Wei County, with the sangs' children returning home, the situation of a big aristocratic family became more and more obvious.

The Sang family is followed by the Cai family. If the Sang family is the county hope in Wei County, the Cai family also has a decisive influence in Dongmou county. Sang Yu is the right Prime Minister of the Han state, and Cai you is the internal history of millet management in the Han state. Both of them are in high positions.

As Prime Minister Zuo of the Han Dynasty, Ji Chang was born into a slave, had no family behind him, and had only two sons. The population is not the restriction that can not develop into an aristocratic family. It is those who refuse to get close. There are relatives, many of whom have to fall under their wings.

After Shi Hu provoked ethnic hatred and murder, most of the big families and powerful forces in the Han Dynasty were purged, and the remaining faced splitting. In the face of such a situation, the Sang family and the Cai family had to converge. Liu Yan's speech tonight opened the door to a gap.

"Does the king want to completely clean the southern aristocratic family?" Liu An, the patriarch of the Liu family in Pengcheng, came from a far greater source than expected. He is a descendant of the Han Gaozu brothers. He will have a great descendant named Liu Yu. Now Liu An is one of those who want to follow the sangs and asks with expectation, "can we have the opportunity to participate in the southern expedition?"

Sang Yu was deeply impressed by Liu An. It was not that Liu An had many extraordinary talents, but that Liu An had a history of wanting to marry Liu Yan. The reason was that there was a rumor that Liu Yan was a descendant of Yanhan. Later, Liu Yan didn't mention his origin at all. Liu an was disappointed and broke his mind to marry Liu Yan.

The Han state attaches great importance to military merit. It is most convenient to develop the family and take the route of joining the army. It is not difficult to join the army. The more difficult thing is how to emerge quickly.

According to the past practice, except when Liu Yan was at the end of his life, the group of people who followed him earlier rose with the water and the boat. It was only ran Min who took the country and got a high position in a short time. The rest did not keep up with the fast lane. Unless they made great achievements, they climbed up step by step.

At present, they can still maintain a family appearance in the Han state. They basically take the attitude of knowing current affairs in the great catastrophe. They can't break up against the will of the state. After cutting the branches and leaves, they need to find a new way out. They can only aim at the outward development of the army.

Many of the big or powerful families in Beidi regard the sangs as a banner. After they get close, they follow the lead of Sangyu ma. A new group is forming.

Cui became the concubine of the king of Han Dynasty because of her daughter. She became another object that some big families and powerful people in the Central Plains could get close to.

Relatively speaking, LV Yi, who went north from Jiangxia to become one of the nine Qing Dynasties of the Han Dynasty, also became a flag. He was close to many aristocratic families from the south.

The Jiangnan faction also has Huanwen and xie'an, but they are much weaker than LV Yi, and Huanwen and xie'an have been avoiding attracting more attention.

Even Ji Chang, who always wanted to be an isolated minister, although he did not gather a group of people, most people who turned from civilians to nobles still regarded him as the leader.

Another is the naturalization school. It is difficult to choose who they can follow. Tuobaxiu, one of the concubines of the king of Han, has become a flag. They are the most low-key group in the state of Han.

Tonight's banquet took place in more than one place. It was all about discussing how to get what in the war of the southern expedition. Liu Yan, who was in Miyagi, soon received a report. After listening to it, he just smiled.

Where there are people, there are factions. It is impossible to avoid factions. After all, people are social animals. Whether it is the similarity of ideas or the attraction of interests, it is inevitable to form a close relationship with each other.

The palace city is deep and quiet. In the drizzle, some palace lanterns shake left and right. The lamp oil burning in the bedroom leaves a stuffy smell in the air.

In the past, Liu Yan should have gone to bed long ago. Tonight, he was teasing his April old son. Next to him was his eldest daughter Liu Yin, who was playing.

This summer, Cui Wan gave Liu Yansheng a fat boy. The name was called "careful", and the baby name was Xiao *.

* * in the modern age is the meaning of pig, and another layer of interpretation is called Dragon. The name is Shen. Liu Yanqu is like the hope that his eldest son can be careful and all the others are eager to expect.

In other words, the name of Liu TSE, the emperor of the ancient era, is called "Er Er". It is very inspiring for the Cui clan to take a small name for Liu * * for his eldest son. Unfortunately, Liu Yan did not immediately seal Liu Shen as the prince.

As the Han army was about to go south, a special thing happened, that is, the follow-up to the interruption of Liu Yanna's southern aristocratic family women as early as one year in Yuanshuo.

"Xie Shi, take the initiative to talk about old things again." Cui Wan was embroidering with some sisters. When she took the initiative to talk about it, the others made a move in their hands. She seemed to be unaware of the surrounding things and said to Liu Yan, who was teasing her son from a distance, "Xie's way is just young."

For today's people, Xie Daoyi's twelve years old is really a young age, but for Liu Yan, it is a young age.

Liu Yan is going to be middle-aged. He will accept a little girl who is not even 13 years old. If she is going to be shot in modern times, the problem is that the woman's 13 years old is the marriage age after hairpin.

It is not Xie an who is an official in the state of Han who talks about marriage again, nor Xie Shi who is a small imperial court in the Eastern Jin Dynasty to recruit the governor. It is Xie Yi who has not been an official at present.

Xie Yi's current responsibility in the Xie family is to teach the children of the family and want to cultivate an excellent generation for the family. Originally, Xie an should do this job, but Xie an's fate trajectory has deviated.

"She has a two-year-old brother named Xie Xuan." Liu Yan was indifferent to the acceptance of Xie Daokai and was extremely interested in Xie Xuan: "I heard he was a fat boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain."

At a young age, Xie Daokai has a great reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, but she can write poetry and have many talents. What really makes her famous is the story of "chanting the talent of Xu".

As a king, Cui Wan and Zhang Lan immediately looked at each other.

Zhang Lan said: "just to pick up with * er, or have a companion."

Liu Yan hoped to bring Xie Xuan to the state of Han. In ancient times, Liu Che trained Huo Yan (Huo Qubing) since childhood. He absolutely wanted to train another Hussars general himself. Now it seems very difficult. He can only implement it when he brings the south of the Yangtze River into rule.

Many factions in the Han Dynasty are forming. Liu Yan knows that it is inevitable. What he can do is to monitor but not destroy. He also needs to balance the situation. There are differences between officials and workers, and a similar trend is forming in the harem.

Liu Yan's thoughts drifted away when it was not easy to be a king. The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty took Xie Shi as the conqueror, and the main garrison was in Shouchun. The history is so similar that it was still in the battle of Bagong mountain. Compared with the "battle of Feishui" in history, the layout of the Jin army has hardly changed.

If there is a difference, it is not Fu Jian, the great emperor of Qin, who wants to break the water. I wonder if Xu Zheng, the general of the southern expedition, will receive a calligraphy from Xie Shi and want the Han Army to retreat to make room for war?

…………

Xie Daokai's birth time is confused. There are differences in age in the book. Let's do it first for the plot.
