"Knowledge monopoly is the root cause, clan concept is the breeding ground, and the implementation of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System is the inducement and the most direct manifestation of this out-of-control power."
Wang Zi'an thought of those idiot roommates who debated this issue with him in his previous life, and couldn't help but look in a daze, showing a look of nostalgia.
At this time, the fire was turned on and off, illuminating Wang Zi'an's handsome face, making his eyes look particularly deep and distant, with a faint air of independence from the world.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng had already unknowingly sat up straight, looking at Wang Zi'an's face, not daring to make a sound for fear of interrupting Wang Zi'an's silk fabric.
Naturally, they had also considered the issue of the aristocratic family, and had thought about it in various ways in private, but no one had ever been able to get to the core of the problem like Wang Zi'an.
These conclusions may be familiar to netizens in previous lives, but to them, they are as enlightening as Huang Zhongdalu.
"Crack-"
The slight sound of the fire crackling brought Wang Zi'an back to his senses slightly.
He glanced at Li Shimin and Wei Zheng, who were sitting upright and behaved like two primary school students, and couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together, and Lao Li, a guy who likes to discuss national affairs, is surrounded by such a group of shady friends. From Lao Cheng, Xiao Li, to the old Master Wei who is a pedantic in reading, they are all like this
Vice virtue is really dumbfounding.
But it feels pretty good!
"The monopoly of knowledge has allowed elites to emerge in large numbers in their sect, and has also allowed them to become talents and forces that have been fought over by successive dynasties. As a result, their clansmen have become generals and ministers, and their disciples and former officials are spread all over the world. In addition, many outstanding clansmen are also
Made many solid political achievements——"
Speaking of this, Wang Zi'an's tone was a little complicated. Looking at the past dynasties, these aristocratic families have produced many amazing talents.
"All this earned them a great reputation, and they were gradually respected by people all over the world. In the end, everyone even felt proud to have a relationship with them? Even today's emperor is no exception - it's a pity that he has to choose his son.
He's so hot that people don't care about him at all..."
Li Shimin:......
You just want to catch a little bit of embarrassment and there will be no end to it, right?
Wei Zheng: Cough cough cough——
He quickly turned around and grabbed the kettle, pretending not to see the embarrassed look on his Majesty's face.
"Due to serving as officials over the years, their family's wealth has gradually expanded and turned into behemoths that can influence the overall situation of the world - even the current emperor? He has to be in awe of the three points? It is really powerful for a family to develop to this extent.
ah!"
Speaking of which? Wang Zi'an suddenly sighed with emotion.
"Dynasties rise and fall, but families do not rise and fall. The original elite of the times? The sages who led the world have slowly changed their taste under the influence of family interests. What's more? There is also a brain-dead Ninth Grade Zhongzheng among them.
The system has pushed this concept of family status, family honor, and family interests directly to the top——"
Speaking of which, Wang Zi'an suddenly remembered something? There was a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"By the way, our emperor who wants to join the family? It seems that he still uses this official selection system..."
"No? No - just? Just for occasional reference? Occasionally for reference..."
When Li Shimin saw that the flames of war were about to burn him again, he quickly denied it.
Wang Zi'an glanced at him funny and joked.
"You see? You still defend the emperor of your family who has no ambition - I said brother, it's useless. Are you talking about this emperor to me every day? It's already hopeless..."
Li Shimin:......
You said it, not me!
"Ahem? In fact, the nine-level Zhongzheng system is not completely unreasonable. The children of aristocratic families do have many talented people with both good character and academics. If they don't use it, it would be a waste of talent. It's a pity..."
Wei Zheng defended his emperor in a low voice.
There was no other way. The imperial examination system and the nine-level Zhongzheng system were developed simultaneously and complemented each other. The method of gradually advancing them was discussed by the big guys like them. At that time, everyone thought it was very safe and wonderful.
I can't get rid of this pot.
"Look - if even a bookkeeper like you thinks so, isn't it reasonable for people in the world to respect them? If the emperor thinks so too, it will be hopeless..."
Wang Zi'an leaned back in his chair and saw that the old god was there.
"This means that the pattern determines the future, and the choice determines life. If your pattern is not enough, no one can save him--"
Li Shimin felt as if he was struck by lightning and almost doubted his life.
Could it be that I, Li Shimin, am not good enough?
"As the saying goes, if you don't plan for the eternity, you can't plan for a moment; if you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region. So I say that His Majesty the Emperor still doesn't have enough structure and long-term vision -"
"Then what do you think? Do you want the emperor to leave those people alone?"
Li Shimin leaned forward and stared intensely at Wang Zi'an, who was leaning lazily on the back of the chair.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense——"
Seeing his overly serious look, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but think of the three consecutive denials in his previous life, and deliberately laughed.
"My dear friend, if these talents are not used, how will the world be governed?"
Wei Zheng was really convinced now. He stood up respectfully, picked up the teapot and filled Wang Zi'an with water while asking for advice.
Wang Zi’an:……
We are the accountant, accountant, old gentleman!
"Come on, come on, sit down quickly, your attitude makes me think that I am the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty now——"
Wang Zi'an said, not realizing it was funny. Lao Li's group was more fun than his group of idiot roommates. Those roommates argued about this, but at least they still remembered that they were freeloaders, while Lao Li's group directly substituted...
…
"With your ability, even if you can go straight into the center, why not become a prime minister? Zian, come out! I will ensure that you go straight to the top..."
Li Shimin couldn't help but invite him again. It would be such a waste for such a talent to live in seclusion!
"Stop, stop, can you still brag properly - you didn't drink even when you came today..."
Wang Zi'an interrupted him angrily and put the teacup on the table.
"I finally put on my clothes - well, I lived for once. Am I here to work as a cow or a horse for them and continue the blessings of 996? In this life, I just want my wife and children to be on the hot bed, to be happy and happy, and to enjoy the fun of life -
Go, go, go, I can’t explain it to a layman like you..."
Just know it is so.
Although Li Shimin had known for a long time that this might be the result, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Are there still people like this in this world?
Especially when he is still just a young man.
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. If you want to live this way, just live this way. When you figure it out, tell me and I will arrange it-"
Lao Li, I forgot to tell you that your bragging posture is very handsome!
