Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 842 The PUA of the Family
You know, the last time the Jin army went deep into the north was in the time of Huan Xuanwu. At that time, he didn't last long, and ran back in despair.

Moreover, he also held the military achievements that were not completely victorious, threatened the court, and finally made his head look ashamed.

But this time, there is such a capable grandson-in-law, why doesn't Xie An accept his credit with a smile?

In the current Jin Dynasty, as long as Xie An supports it, Wang Mi's waist will be hardened, and other ministers' pressures and threats can be completely ignored.

However, this also reflects the current situation, that is, when Wang Mi wants to have the support of the court, such as a lot of weapons and equipment, support in money and food, and even assistance from friendly troops, it is very difficult.

Because the friendly army will take it for granted that you belong to Xie An, and whether you win or not in this battle is all up to your Xie family.

What does it have to do with us?
Our Jingzhou soldiers also need to maintain their strength.

Now, the Jin army, especially the Beifu army led by Wang Mi, has been pushed to a certain point.

If you lose, you will retreat!

fighting!

Only by constantly fighting and attacking the city can he continue to survive, and as his power grows stronger, he can gradually get rid of the control of the court and no longer look at the court ministers.

Next, the master of the court will be changed.

In the past, the emperors who started their careers with military exploits all came down through such a series of operations.

As far as Wang Mi is concerned, his current situation is of course much better than those civilian generals who started from pure military exploits.

He not only has military merits now, he also has a dignified background, and this background is also very high, half a rank higher than most people in the court.

These people can't reject him or look down on him because of his origin, and those inexplicable emotions that he was looked down upon because the children of the aristocratic family joined the army are not worth mentioning.

He, Wang Mi, is not Huan Wen back then, so he will not be depressed because these weak things look down on him.

So what if he was born in the army?

When Lao Tzu is in power and sits on the throne, these people will continue to work for Lao Tzu no matter how slanderous they are?

This kind of emotion is about the same as Li Erfeng's back then.

You see, I, the Guanlong Li family, can be considered a big family, but those traditional Central Plains families still look down on us.

They are full of Qinghe Cui family, Fan Yang Lu family, Zhaojun Li family and so on, all of which are suppressed.

If this is an ordinary emperor, he would still eat their tricks.

In fact, the ranking of the so-called aristocratic family background is also a kind of status PUA, which is obviously inferior to others in all aspects.

But he still wants to overwhelm others with his so-called background.

What's wrong with people who work hard to get rich, are they born to be inferior?
The children of these aristocratic families are best at compiling genealogy. They often move out the ancestors from eighteen lifetimes ago, research the source, and compile it into a book. Then, don't underestimate these genealogies.

The so-called genealogy became popular from the end of Jin Dynasty.

Why did so-called genealogical societies become popular at that time?

It's all there for a reason.

Imagine that after the Eight Kings Rebellion at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of noble families from the north rushed from the north to the south.

The so-called south crossing.

When everyone has gradually gained a firm foothold, how can we prove that we are a big family?

The gentry in the south didn't recognize you stowaways from the north.

What's more, when traveling to the south, the situation was very chaotic. It was difficult for some descendants of the aristocratic families who came with them to find their own clan.

Who will prove their identity?
What's more, do you want others to believe it?
Of course I wrote it myself!

Because of this genealogy issue, in the past, in the last years of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the children of the aristocratic families fought violently, which made them look very ugly.

Wei Shou, the editor of the Wei Book, was born in a wealthy family in Hebei, the Julu Wei family. He was also the ancestor of the famous Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty.

However, the character of this Wei Shou was not as good as that of Wei Zheng. He was such a person. At that time, the chaotic Northern Qi ushered in a rare period of political stability.

It was the ten years when the famous lunatic emperor Gao Yang was in power. At that time, Gao Yang was committed to integrating the Xianbei nobles in the territory with the traditional Central Plains gentry and maintaining a relatively good relationship.

Therefore, he organized Wei Shou and others to write Wei Shu. On the one hand, he helped to write the history of the great Wei that had gone away. Very face.

As a result, this Wei Shou did a very strange thing.

Writing the history of the previous dynasty was a very important event in ancient times, and it must not be neglected.

The selection of candidates must not be ignored, but in the Northern Qi Dynasty, there were not many people with good writing skills.

Therefore, Gao Yang chose Wei Shou, whom he trusted.

What about Wei Shou?
Leaving aside his writing style for the time being, he actually engaged in nepotism when writing history books.

Good Wei Shu, as long as he has a good relationship with Wei Shou, even if he was in charge of the gate in the previous dynasty, he can still write it as a general.

But if the relationship is not good, or if the background is worse than him, but not as good as him, Wei Shouke has room to play.

At that time, there was an official from a big family of the Cui family in Qinghe, who was looked down upon by Wei because he had no children.

He actually placed his ancestors in someone else's family, and refused to admit that he was from the dignified Qinghe Cui family.

Is this still available?

The ancient people, especially the gentry who experienced the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, valued this most.

I don't need to be an official, and I can be unsatisfactory, but no one can slander my origin!
Didn't Wei Shou do one or two things like this, he did it often, and was often caught.

In this way, how could the ministers in the court spare him, and the memorials complaining about him every day flew to Gao Yang like raindrops.

He was simply overwhelmed.

The ministers spit all over the place and insulted Wei Shou without profanity, but he has a way.

No matter how you scold me, I am still the same, and I am not moved at all.

In the end, Gao Yang couldn't do anything to Wei, and of course he couldn't do anything to those ministers who insulted him passionately.

They could only play [-] big boards each, and put the matter down.

Therefore, in the history books left today, how many of them are outspoken by honest people and how many of them are written by wicked people is for future generations to judge for themselves.

You can't believe all of them, after all, there are still some people who write history books with such a character!
These genealogies that have been passed down for generations are equivalent to ID cards, but modern ID cards only prove your citizenship.

And these beautifully decorated family trees are the proof of the identity of the descendants of the family. With such family trees, they have fooled generations of monarchs.

It stands to reason that the person who has won the world should be respected when he becomes an emperor. Within a dynasty, everyone who looks around is his own territory, so he should be the one who has the final say.

However, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the subsequent Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties, the identity of the aristocratic family was the ID card that passed through the north and the south.

As long as it comes from a first-class family, not to mention ordinary traffickers, even royal family members should look up to them.

Don't dare to provoke.

Because, over the long years, the children of the aristocratic family have already formed a value system through their own painstaking efforts.

That is, as long as you are in the middle-earth area, you have to accept that only the surnames of the disciples of the high school are the most honorable.

For other people, no matter how many achievements you have, no matter how high your official position is, you can't surpass our big families.

Every time a new dynasty is established, the children of the aristocratic family will use their theory to sell it, and they often fail to test it.

It seems quite incredible. For example, Liu Yu, who became the emperor in history, although he claimed to be a descendant of Liu Bang, a proper orphan of the royal family, but people at that time knew it well.

He, Liu Yu, is just a mud-legged one. Although A's family has an official father, he is also a small official as big as a sesame mung bean.

The family is not decent at all. If it weren't for this, with Liu Yu's ambition and ability, he would have been able to hold a hereditary official position a long time ago, so why wait until he is old enough to join the army?

And when Liu Yu became emperor, he was supposed to be the most powerful person on the south bank of the river. However, when facing the children of the big families in the past, he still couldn't help being short-tempered.

Liu Yu conquered the world all by himself, he can be said to be self-made and a true hero.What about those descendants of the family?

They can neither turn the tide, nor can they take Dajin step by step to regain the former land.

Even so, they can still surpass Liu Yu openly, put their own status before Liu Yu, and use various means to expressly imply to him that they must respect the family, so that everyone can be better.

Then since Liu Yu himself is not a noble family, and his achievements are made by himself, why should he obey the mercy of these noble families?
Is it because the territory is not big enough and there are not enough people available?

The so-called aristocratic families, to put it harshly, are just some families that have believed in being an official for generations. These families often do not have people who want to be emperors. What they look forward to most is the emergence of a dynasty and a continuous state. Longer, but don't be too aggressive, you must give face to the children of the family.

To govern the territory of the royal family, talents must be needed, and before the imperial examination system, the easiest way to find talents was to choose from several great families.

On the one hand, this is a lazy way. On the other hand, the reason why this can be done is because, in these turbulent times, ordinary people have too few opportunities to study.

Since he doesn't study, he won't be sensible, and he won't be able to master the various skills needed to govern the country. Think about it, if he doesn't even know a lot of characters, can he be expected to be able to calculate all the household registration books within a dynasty? ?
Of course not!

For example, Liu Yu, who became the emperor, although he really won the world immediately, he is really a natural genius with a very good military quality.

But, there is really no culture.

When he becomes emperor, he will soon realize that he cannot control the entire court.Even, as early as when he was commanding the Beifu soldiers to fight everywhere, he also understood that he could only lead troops to fight, which was also his strength, and the rest of the work had to be handed over to more suitable people, that is, Readers do it.

For example, the logistics of the army, and the recovery and construction of the occupied city, these things, he Liu Yu will not ask.

He was handed over to Liu Muzhi, and although Mu Zhi was not from an aristocratic family, he was indeed a scholar.

It can be seen that after Liu Yu became emperor, his respect for the aristocratic family was also due to his helplessness.

Above the court, there are always people who work for him, and such people basically come from several big families.

Moreover, for a hundred years, the power among the aristocratic families has long been intertwined. Even if they don't have that surname, they might be someone's son-in-law or someone's nephew.

Therefore, we can only choose available people from these families. Since people from other families are used, it is natural to favor the children of these families in various decisions.

and identify with them.

Don't forget that Liu Yu was also born and raised in the best era of the aristocratic family, so it is inevitable that he will be influenced by the idea that the children of the aristocratic family are upper-class.

From his own point of view, he also thinks that the children of the aristocratic family are really powerful, although many of them are just idiots.

However, even if it is a straw bag, it is also a straw bag with a gorgeous appearance, which is essentially different from ordinary straw bags.

The more important point, perhaps many people have not noticed, is that all the eras in which aristocratic families can rule the roost are the eras of continuous wars.

In the north and south of the river, there are many divided imperial courts. At this time, ordinary people are in turmoil and living in hardship. Relatively speaking, it is a good time for the aristocratic family.

Because of the limited territory, the divided court needs to win over the big families in the territory, and use their support to maintain its own court.

And often, those big families that have been passed down for more than a hundred years are the most influential families in this area.

The two often overlap.

When a unified imperial court cannot be established, the villagers who live in no fixed place always need a strong support.

The big aristocratic families often play such a role in the territory. When the situation is turbulent, they will stand up and protect the safety of the people of one side.

Although their control naturally cannot catch up with the bottom-up governance model of the unified imperial court, they are always a force that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, compared to the unified court, the children of the aristocratic family may prefer the divided courts such as the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The ability of these imperial courts to control the territory is much weaker. The so-called county system often exists in name only, and the imperial court can only rely on the power of the aristocratic clan to maintain local stability.

On the contrary, a pattern can be seen.

That is, when the central court is very powerful, the power of the aristocratic family will also shrink, showing a trend of ebb and flow.

For example, when Erfeng became the emperor, although he respected the children of the family on the surface, he wanted to deal with them long ago in his heart.

One is that Li Tang started his business all on his own, and did not rely on the support of his family. Furthermore, Li Tang was a unified dynasty with a vast territory and a strong province. In the local area, it had its own system, which was very sound and well-managed. strict.

This does not require the aristocratic family to fill in the gap locally.

What's more, people like Erfeng would not listen to the PUA of the aristocratic family. What kind of ghost are you, the Li family of Guanlong, and you are not the Li family of Zhaojun.
