Chapter 129: The factional disputes among Shu Han scholars and their respective plans!
The sun in the Chengdu sky is rising higher and higher, and the temperature is becoming more unbearable. In fact, before Li Yan's fall, Zhuge Liang had already wanted to rectify the Dongzhou gentry. Because of Ma Su's death, Zhuge Liang saw the factions within the Shu Kingdom.
dispute.
There is no doubt that Ma Su lost his street pavilion and should be killed according to the military laws of the Shu Kingdom. Zhuge Liang's order to kill Ma Su seemed to be to uphold the military order, but in fact it was to make an explanation to the Dongzhou nobles.
Because during the Northern Expedition, most of the ministers led by Zhuge Liang were from Jingzhou. Now that Ma Di has stabbed Lou Zi, many Dongzhou nobles are clinging to the matter.
After all, if Liu Bei's old team of Jingzhou people made great contributions in the Northern Expedition, then the power of the Jingzhou nobles in the Shu Han Dynasty would be further strengthened, further breaking the balance of the three noble families in the Shu Han camp.
Let these outsiders from Jingzhou ride on the heads of their native Yizhou nobles, suppress them, erode their interests, and let their influence in the Shu Han court gradually decline.
Even driving them out of the Shu Han court is definitely not what the local nobles in Yizhou want to see. If Zhuge Liang wins the Northern Expedition, the arrogance of the Jingzhou nobles will be even higher.
After all, they contributed more to the Shu Han than the local gentry in Yizhou, just because they followed Liu Bei when he "lived" in Jingzhou, and they had some merits of following the dragon.
He is only worse than the two sworn brothers from Taoyuan who first followed him, Zhao Yun, Mi Fang, Mi Zhu and others, just because their current leader is the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang had been living in seclusion in Nanyang County before Liu Bei invited him out of the mountain to visit the thatched cottage. Whether Zhuge Liang wanted to or not, he was still half a Jingzhou native.
Zhuge Liang followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Jingzhou in his early years. After Zhuge Xuan's death, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Nanyang County.
Later, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times to invite Zhuge Liang, and together with Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, they defeated Cao Jun in the Battle of Chibi, forming a tripartite power among the Three Kingdoms.
Hanzhong.
In the first year of Zhangwu (221), Liu Bei established the Shu Han regime in Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang was appointed prime minister to preside over the government. After Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, Zhuge Liang was named the Marquis of Wuxiang and led Yizhou as a pastor.
Whether before he was twenty-six or after he was twenty-seven, he spent a long time in Jingzhou managing the army and the people, conquering cities and territories, and accumulated a high prestige among the Jingzhou nobles.
Naturally, he became the leader of the Yizhou gentry group. After all, his Zhuge family was considered a noble family. Otherwise, how could Zhuge Liang know astronomy and geography, and assist Liu Bei in dividing the world?
Such a head of the Zhuge family in Jingzhou, who is not big or small, is also the number one contributor to Liu Bei, the leader of the Shu Han Dynasty, in establishing such a huge foundation. Not long after helping Liu Bei capture Yizhou, he was appointed Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.
When the Shu Han Dynasty became a being who was inferior to one person and surpassed ten thousand people, whether passively or actively, the Jingzhou gentry group was worth betting on and followed.
Sure enough, they made the right bet this time. Even after Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu accidentally lost Jingzhou and they lost their original foundation, they still lived well with Zhuge Liang's "support" and lived better and better.
If you can participate in a big project like "Recovering the Han Dynasty" that can make meritorious deeds, and Wolong Zhuge Liang is planning and leading the army, you still have a high chance of winning.
The local scholars in Yizhou who did not get this opportunity were very jealous. In addition, they always stubbornly believed that Cao Wei could unify the world, so they would inevitably hinder Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition.
The fights among outsiders such as the gentry are becoming increasingly serious, and internal strife continues overtly and covertly...
So Zhuge Liang finally wanted to understand what Liu Bei said before his death: "Ma Di exaggerated and was of no use." It turned out that this was Liu Bei warning him to pay attention to balancing factions.
Because of this, two or three years after Ma Su's death, Zhuge Liang suddenly exerted force and deposed Li Yan. But not long after, he changed his attitude and appreciated the Dongzhou nobles more.
Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Fei Yi is a good proof. Of course, this is also to balance the strength of several parties.
If one gentry group is allowed to dominate the Shu Han, then Shu Han is likely to become the world dominated by Jingzhou, Dongzhou and other gentry forces in a hundred years, and the emperor of the Shu Han will become a puppet. This is what he does not want to see.
arrived,
Sima Yi played a big role in blocking Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition in several wars. He also helped the Dongzhou gentry group and other local Yizhou families a lot. He was also very capable.
This is a good opportunity for Yizhou's local gentry to stand up and break the balance among the gentry. How can we not form an alliance with Sima Yi, a foreign ally who can break this situation? And Fei Yi is no longer reliable.
After all, at this time, Fei Yi was already in the position of the general of the Shu Han Dynasty, one person was inferior to ten thousand people. In order to secure his position, he considered more about the balance among the noble clans.
"The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Fei Yi's Biography" says: "Prime Minister Liang returned from the southern expedition, and was greeted by a group of soldiers for dozens of miles. Most of his years were at the right of Yi, and Liang specifically ordered Yi to accompany him. This was not easy for everyone to see."
Obviously, Zhuge Liang had a special regard for Fei Yi, not only because of the latter's outstanding talents, but also because he had a good impression of the Dongzhou nobles.
Jiang Wan and Fei Yi each performed their duties, and the two sides cooperated, and the country of Shu was rejuvenated.
With Zhuge Liang's appreciation, and Fei Yi himself having been Liu Chan's teacher, after Jiang Wan came to power, Fei Yi also rose to prominence and became one of the inner circle of Shu.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Wan was one of the few politicians in the past who was generous. As the successor of Zhuge Liang and the leader of the new generation of Jingzhou gentry, Jiang Wan always considered the interests of the country. So he was willing to
Delegate power and dare to delegate power.
At that time, Jiang Wan was sitting in Hanzhong and was in charge of the important military affairs of the Shu Kingdom; while Fei Yi served as Shangshu Ling in the palace and managed the internal affairs of Shu in an orderly manner. In this way, the two of them were both civil and military, one internal and one external, which led to the emergence of the Shu Kingdom.
A sign of ZTE.
The power of the Dongzhou gentry increased, and a large number of Dongzhou gentry entered the inner circle.
It can be seen from the above that during Jiang Wan's tenure, the Jingzhou gentry still occupied a dominant position. However, after Jiang Wan's death, with the intentional interference of the successor Liu Chan, a large number of Dongzhou gentry began to enter the core management, and even overpowered them.
The trend of Jingzhou gentry. For example, Dong Yun, Lu Yi, and Chen Zhi all held important positions.
The reason is easy to understand. In addition to the attitudes of Liu Chan and Jiang Wan, it is also related to the way Shu selects talents. The Shu Han prides itself on being the orthodox Han Dynasty, so they also followed the Han Dynasty's imperial examination and recruitment system.
This resulted in the Dongzhou gentry being able to continue to recruit talents from their own hometown to join the court, but the Jingzhou gentry was unable to do so. Because at this time, Jingzhou was already in the hands of Soochow. Since the Jingzhou gentry group could not get fresh blood to make up for it, it instead
gradually declined.
Although Li Feng, the son of the former leader of the Dongzhou gentry clan, was promoted to the post of Zhu Ti Governor after his father's death, he could not let go of the deep hatred of his father Li Yan who was demoted to death.
It just so happened that he recently returned to Chengdu to report on his work and recuperate. Today he got news from his channel that Sima Yi had recovered, so he wanted to find an opportunity to visit someday and discuss revenge...
