Emperor Shuang: The counterattack started from the Gaopingling Incident Chapter 98: Lying on Weis body to suck blood, trying to rebound and take revenge on Hes consorts family!
Chapter 98: Lying on Weis body to suck blood, trying to rebound and take revenge on Hes consorts family!
Another dinner incident was finally calmed down casually by Cao Shuang, without causing too much trouble on the spot. The banquet in the banquet hall returned to the usual scene of people drinking and drinking.
It's just that everyone present has a little more different thoughts in their hearts. They have some doubts about whether Consort He, who was a popular figure in Cao Zhaobo's eyes before, still has as high a status in Cao Zhaobo's mind as before.
People who have been offended and bullied by him before also want to find opportunities to test He's true and false character in the future, to see if the current "He Langfu fan" He's consort still has a big backer like Cao Zhaobo behind him.
If Cao Zhaobo does not continue to help him this time after testing, then He's consort's life will become more and more difficult day by day. The courtiers and the family members will all come to step on his head.
In order to repay He Yan for humiliating them and eroding their interests, if Cao Zhaobo still supports them as usual, then they will continue to tolerate it and find a suitable opportunity to deal with He Yan's consort in the future.
After all, they are all courtiers and aristocratic families who want to save face. They cannot give in like this. No matter who erodes their interests, they will find opportunities to get back what they lost.
No matter how many years have passed, they can survive this long period of time dormant for others, but for their aristocratic family and the courtiers who came from the aristocratic family, they can wait.
After all, even if a dynasty is destroyed after existing for hundreds of years, the aristocratic families are still alive and well and will become stronger. This is the result of them sucking the blood of each dynasty to nourish themselves.
When a dynasty is so weak that it cannot be cured and has no use value, they will immediately throw the dynasty under their feet and then step on it a few times.
Then, like the angel investors of later generations, they look for new candidates who can support the top, let them establish a new dynasty, and continue to suck blood from it to strengthen themselves.
If during this process, the bet was made temporarily because of the region where the family is located, the local power, or some other reasons,
But after competing for the real master of the world, he will immediately express his allegiance, even if he temporarily cuts off some flesh from his body to satisfy the new master, it is okay.
These will be rewarded in the subsequent court competitions, and will be doubled in the process of continuous blood-sucking for hundreds of years, until the dynasty is destroyed.
The current aristocratic families began to quietly rise in the Han Dynasty, or even earlier dynasties.
The history from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty is also the history of the rise and decline of aristocratic families.
In the troubled times, heroes competed in the Central Plains, and the Battle of Jieqiao, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Daer Liu Bei entering Sichuan and the Battle of Yiling broke out successively, eventually forming a three-legged situation.
Both King Cao Cao of Wei and Prime Minister Zhuge of the Shu Han Dynasty were wary of the rise of powerful clans since the Eastern Han Dynasty and launched a series of policies to suppress the gentry.
However, after Cao Cao's death, Emperor Wen Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and established the Wei State, reestablishing the general policy of relying on aristocratic families.
When Cao Pi was still the heir apparent, he fought for the throne with his brothers Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang (who once led an army of 100,000 to Luoyang, but was dissuaded by the admonishment official Jia Kui), and received strong support from the powerful families.
Without strong support from the military and clan, Cao Pi had no choice but to follow Liu Xiu's example and continue to rely on the power of the family to stabilize the Cao family after usurping the Han Dynasty, allowing Cao Wei's family to suck blood from him while supporting him to succeed the Han Dynasty.
Stay secure.
Soon after he became emperor, Cao Pi adopted the opinions of Chen Qun, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and ordered him to formulate a new official selection system in order to break the family's control over him.
However, this new official selection system, the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System, ultimately failed to successfully correct the previous situation in which aristocratic families controlled most of the selection and appointment of officials.
On the contrary, it further promoted the continued growth of the aristocratic families, which almost caused aristocratic families like the Sima family in Hanoi to join forces with other aristocratic families and almost usurp the power of Cao Wei.
During the Han Dynasty before Cao Wei, the mainstream talent selection system in the imperial court was the imperial examination system. It originated during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and flourished during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
With more knowledge, you can strengthen your own strength step by step.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, this system was gradually controlled by a small number of ministers and prominent families. There was a great deal of subjectivity in the evaluation of recommendations, and people from aristocratic families had been in high positions in the court for a long time. Therefore, it was easy for a large number of talented people to be dismissed.
Buried situation.
The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System was further institutionalized on the basis of the Chaoju System. It transferred the power of prefectural and county magistrates to appoint their own subordinates and the power of appointing and removing local officials in the Chaoju System to the central government.
It is beneficial to the imperial court's control over local areas and has a positive effect, but it also further helps aristocratic families to grow, influence, and interfere with imperial power after the rise and fall of various dynasties, and continues to constrain central power.
It was not until the later Sui and Tang Dynasties that the decadent and degenerate social atmosphere of the gentry in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was eradicated.
Tang Dynasty: "The blood of the barbarians outside the Great Wall was taken and the decadent culture of the Central Plains was injected into it. The old stains were removed, new opportunities were restarted, and expansion was achieved, thus creating an unprecedented world situation."
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the gentry clans were exalted by the martial and pragmatic spirit of the Xianbei and other grassland tribes. They swept away the gloom and expanded their territories.
However, the constraints of the gentry clan on the central power still existed, but it was transformed into a gentry class with the Guanlong clan as the core.
The death of the second generation of the Sui Dynasty showed the great power contained in the Guanlong clan in the early Sui and Tang Dynasties.
In order to get rid of the constraints on imperial power caused by closed clans, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang, married a descendant of the Liang Dynasty royal family in the Southern Dynasty, and made friends with scholars in the south of the Yangtze River in order to check and balance Guanlong.
However, it failed in the end. Instead, he was pulled down by Li Tang, who had gathered the power of the Guanlong Family Alliance. From the period of Tang Gaozong to Tang Xuanzong, the imperial power was always constrained by the family members.
This is the price of relying on the Guanlong Family Alliance to conquer the world. After all, the family will not do anything that does not bring any benefits to themselves.
In order to combat the influence of the gentry, the imperial court has been continuously promoting and appointing talents without foundation during this period.
Having no foundation means that its power must be dependent on the imperial power, which will naturally not constitute a constraint on the imperial power. Now that the family is so powerful, it is impossible to move them when there are strong enemies outside.
Cao Zhaobo also had to win over aristocratic families and some people from common people to balance the power of the two parties, so that he could completely subdue these aristocratic families that might be holding him back in the future. This was the only way,
After all, it is impossible for him to imitate Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty and some people in the Five Dynasties and completely eliminate them physically without caring about the consequences of doing so.
And now, if all these troublesome aristocratic families are removed, he will not be able to find enough knowledgeable talents to govern various places for a long time in the future...
