Showdown: I'm Reborn

Chapter 226 Flexible moral bottom line

"In addition, Wolong also said that several aristocratic families should be canonized and hereditary. Let them assist the emperor, the grand master, and the court to govern the world from generation to generation."

Select a few families, live with the country, hereditary, and act as communication representatives between the imperial court and the family in the House of Nobles.

How many top families are there in the whole world?
a lot of!

The Yuan family of four generations and three lords is just one of the strongest, and the Yang family next door is not inferior to the Yuan family in the slightest.

There are also big families like Jiangxia Huang's family and Yingchuan Xun's family that have been passed down for thousands of years, which also have extensive connections and profound heritage.

Especially under the extraordinary world view, the Xun family has the inheritance of Xunzi, and the Huang family in Jiangxia has been a first-class family for thousands of years, not to mention the Confucian family in Qufu.

With so many big families, who can get the few hereditary replacements?

Do you want to fight?

Will there be conflicts?
"Hey, this is a conspiracy. Who wouldn't want to keep eating the declining nobles who were kicked out of the House of Nobles? And Wolong also said that if the court still can't go on, he should take the representatives of the House of Nobles to eat together." Big family. Just find a place and eat together across the country.”

"After eating, the displaced people who migrated to other places will go there to ease the annexation of the local land. At the same time, by confiscating the wealth of the aristocratic family in this place, it will continue a wave for the court."

"In this way, in normal times, we will eat up the declining families, and in times of crisis, we will bring the families from other places to eat up a wave of big families."

Hearing this, Chen Qun couldn't help but feel a sense of murder in his heart.

Such a scheme is really too vicious!
This Wolong is really not a son of man!

When Chen Qun and other young people felt that Wolong was too vicious, some people didn't think so.For example, today's Yuzhou Shepherd Huang Wan.

Huang Wan's great-grandfather was Shangshuling in the Han Dynasty, and the position of Shangshuling could be regarded as a prime minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The real power of Shangshuling is greater than that of Sangong.After all, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the Sangongs were just decorations.

Huang Wan's grandfather was the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty.

What is a top family?

This is it!

Huang Wan herself has been a high-ranking official like Taiwei in history.

Does this count as four generations and three princes?At least it is the fourth generation and two princes plus a ministerial order.

This is Jiangxia Huang's family. Today's Huang Wan was appointed by the imperial court as the shepherd of Yuzhou, responsible for cleaning up many bandits in Yuzhou. In fact, Huang Wan did a good job. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans and bandits in Yuzhou have been wiped out by him. about there.

The most important thing is that in the process of suppressing the thieves in Yuzhou, Huang Wan trained a team of elite soldiers, who are the state shepherds with real power in their hands.

And at this moment, it was only [-] A.D.!

It stands to reason that if Huang Wan rebels at this moment, the starting point will be higher than Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.But Huang Wan is a great loyal minister, a true loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.At this moment, people have no idea of ​​rebellion at all.

As the head of a first-class family in the world, as the shepherd of Yuzhou in the Han Dynasty, and as a loyal minister in the Han Dynasty, Huang Wan felt that the House of Nobility mentioned by Wolong was very interesting.

Constitutional monarchy, aristocratic republic.

After seeing these eight characters, Huang Wan couldn't move her eyes away!
He felt that doing so might be the best for the current Han Dynasty!

Due to the two scourges of the party, coupled with the current Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the contradiction between the aristocratic family and the emperor has reached a relative limit.

Whoever is in power must face this issue.As a scholar with integrity, Huang Wan felt that this issue could no longer be dragged on.

Since it can't be delayed, then find a way to solve it.And constitutional monarchy, aristocratic republic is a very good way, the family will definitely agree.

As for whether the emperor can accept it, does it matter?
Even if the Son of Heaven refuses to accept it, you sages can still try to persuade the Son of Heaven. Without much real power, it is better than the demise of the Han Dynasty?
Moreover, for the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be beautiful for the lineage to last forever from now on?
For the aristocratic family, they can rule the world in a legitimate way from now on, and even from now on, the nobles will always be the nobles, and the aristocratic family will always be the aristocratic family, isn't it beautiful?

From then on, those muddy legs don't have to think about getting ahead all day long, everything is handed over to scholars, and all officials can only be acted by scholars, and they don't even need to pretend to be superficial. Isn't it beautiful?
Thinking of this, Huang Wan decided to quietly seek advice from other aristocratic families.

It just so happened that Emperor Ling was about to die, and then he cooperated with General He Jin to try to get He Jin to agree when He Jin was in power.

In this way, when the new emperor grows up, he doesn't have to be in charge of the government himself. Wouldn't it be beautiful to have all the sages in charge of the great affairs of the world?

Since then, the emperor has been favoring beauties in the harem, more children, more blessings, exercise, breaking the curse that the average life expectancy of the emperor of the Han family is less than 35 since the Eastern Han Dynasty, isn't it beautiful?
……

Time went back to midnight, when the fifth chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms had just been released, and in the palace, Zhang Rang recited the fifth chapter word by word.

"The first strategy proposed by Wolong was not adopted by Dong Thief. He felt that the first strategy was too variable and the effect was too slow. He thought that the family was too greedy. Even if it was the first strategy, it might not be successful, so he asked Wolong, Is there any other way?" Zhang Rang said slowly.

Hearing this, Emperor Ling shook his head disdainfully: After all, he is a border warrior who doesn't understand politics. He really thinks that all the aristocratic families in the world are carved out of the same mold.

The group of the family is quite shameless, and their bottom line is also quite flexible. In short, the bottom line of the family is that there is no bottom line.

As long as you are good, they promise to cooperate with you.

In the original history, Dong Zhuo and the scholars cooperated smoothly for a period of time. During that time, Dong Zhuo and the scholars were like a couple living together. The princes joined forces to challenge Dong, and Dong Zhuo directly killed Yuan Kui and Yuan Ji's family, old and young, so that he completely broke his face with the scholars.

In Emperor Ling's view, if Dong Zhuo adopted the first strategy mentioned by Wolong, the family would most likely be willing to cooperate with him. In the end, no matter whether Dong Zhuo won or the family won, the most unlucky one would be the emperor.

The next generation of emperors will most likely become the constitutional monarch in Wolong's mouth. From now on, the king is under the law, even if he is a monarch, he must abide by the Han law. Even from now on, the aristocratic families can directly hold the Han law to restrain the emperor.

What kind of emperor is such an emperor?
Puppet emperor?

But once the whole world's aristocratic families, powerful and good families have formed a consensus that the king is under the law, then even the emperor can only abide by the rules honestly.

Thinking of such a future, Emperor Ling became a little anxious, and then subconsciously coughed: "Wolong has great talent but no virtue!"

The immorality in Emperor Ling's mouth means that this guy is not loyal to the imperial court at all!
"However, even so, I am still willing to issue an edict to hire him as the crown prince and grand teacher. Father, I am planning to recruit him. Mother, you continue to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Without saying a word, Zhang Rang sat on the desk beside him and began to write the imperial edict, while the other eunuchs on the side prepared the seal.As for Zhao Zhong, he took the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from Zhang Rang and continued to recite it.

"The content of this second policy can be summed up to be prepared for the coming troubled times, to tear your face completely, use powerful force, completely occupy the land of Guanzhong and Sili, and kill all the powerful families in Guanzhong and Sili. , to cultivate a new batch of upstarts who are loyal to Dong Thief himself."

"Wolong means to eliminate the old vested interests and cultivate a new group of warriors. Then implement the Qin law, restore the military meritorious system, and reconquer the world with the method of farming and warfare."

Whoever makes a hole is invincible in the world!

"Wolong said that at this moment, the thinking of the princes in the world has not changed, and they are not ready to compete in the world. Even many eunuchs dare not suppress the family under their rule by force, and subconsciously follow the rules of the peaceful era. It’s not mature enough to operate with one set.”

Just like that guy Han Fu, who is obviously Jizhou Mu, with a strong soldier in his hand, many vassals and generals, and there are not a few who are loyal to him, but after being intimidated by Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and the scholars under his command, he was so frightened that he raised his hand. Barrel runs away.

This is a typical tragedy that does not realize that the troubled times have arrived!

At that time, Han Fu, if the troubled times had come, and the idea of ​​having soldiers is the grass-headed king, he would directly lead the soldiers under his command and kill all the scholars under his rule who colluded with Yuan Shao, what would they do?

No matter how powerful the family is, no matter how powerful the connections are, they are nothing in front of the weapons of criticism!

"Wolong's second strategy, the core idea is to go through a big cleansing first, clean up the old aristocratic families and powerful, and establish a new military meritorious group that belongs only to him."

"After straightening out the internal affairs, quickly go out and push the world. In the process of pushing the world, you must be fast enough to take advantage of the initial development advantages as much as possible, and finally form a snowball-like general trend of the world. Directly use the huge military strength, crush other princes."

Hearing this, Emperor Ling couldn't help asking: "And then?"

"Then, Thief Dong rejected the second strategy. He said it was impossible. He said that he and the Guandong scholars could still cooperate. There is no need to come up and be hostile to families all over the world."

Hearing this, Emperor Ling slowly took a breath.

Fortunately, this Dong Zhuo is a fool.

Until now, I still think that I can cooperate with the Guandong scholars, and I don’t want to see whether the Guandong scholars think highly of you.

As for Wolong's second strategy, whether it is possible to realize it or not, Emperor Ling felt that it was still possible after thinking about it for a while.

Today's Guanzhong and Sili have a large population and profound heritage.If Dong Zhuo really did this, then he could use about a year to assemble at least one hundred thousand professional troops.

Based on this, he dared to recruit 20 Qiang people.When the time comes, 30 troops will leave Hulao Pass, who can stop it?

After a while, Zhao Zhong continued to recite: "Then, Wolong proposed the third strategy. Wolong said that since this is the case, then be more stable, first manage the land in Guanzhong, and directly move all the population in the land of Sili to Guanzhong."

"Wolong said that the land of Guanzhong has been one of the world's granaries since ancient times, but now it is only because of the sharp drop in population and the long-term disrepair of water conservancy projects that it appears to be poor and exhausted."

"As long as you have the courage to migrate the population of Sili to Guanzhong, and then work hard to farm for several years, you will naturally be able to restore the strength of the Qin Dynasty."

"Wolong said, first make false claims with the Guandong scholars, and at the same time relocate the population to enrich Guanzhong, and then send capable people to manage Guanzhong and build water conservancy to wait for changes in time."

"When the Guandong scholars collectively launched a crusade, they saw the right time, gave up the emperor and all the officials, went to the Guanzhong land, stuck to the Hangu Pass, called the king and established the system, and called himself the King of Qin. Then, based on Guanzhong, Liangzhou was recruited The Qiang people are retinues, waiting for the time to move."

You want to ask Dong?
Are you all loyal ministers?

Then let the emperor and the officials be handed over to you!

The princes of the Guandong who have won the emperor and hundreds of officials are really willing to continue to be loyal ministers?

Can a loyal minister be as comfortable as a prince?
In any case, it is impossible for the princes of the Guandong to continue to unite to discuss Dong.Especially now that Dong Zhuo has returned to Guanzhong, and under the premise of sticking to Hangu Pass, no one is willing to attack Dong Zhuo.Even if there are people like Cao Cao who are willing to continue to attack Dong Zhuo, they don't have enough strength.

"In the end, wait for the civil war among the vassals of the Guandong, and then look for an opportunity to go directly east to Hangu Pass and emulate the Qin Dynasty back then."

"However, Thief Dong didn't even adopt this strategy."

Hearing this, Emperor Ling couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Emperor Ling's happy appearance, Zhao Zhong also laughed along with him, and soon the palace was full of laughter.

"This Dong thief is nothing more than that." Emperor Ling said slowly.

Zhao Zhong also echoed: "Yeah, Dong thief said that the third strategy is still too dangerous. It is obvious that he does not trust scholars. He also said that there are some things that can be done but cannot be said. He thinks that Wolong is still too young and smart. Clever, but that's about it."

"Wolong also felt that Dong Zhuo seemed to have a problem with him, so he didn't raise the matter of being an official, and then Dong Zhuo left, but not long after, Li Ru returned again, and then saw Wolong packing his luggage."

"Li Ru asked him why he packed his luggage."

"Wolong said: If I don't leave, I won't be able to leave in the future."

"Li Ru thought about Dong Zhuo's character, and could only nod and sigh, and then wanted to ask Wolong to do a favor before he left."

"In the end, Wolong had no choice but to tell Li Ru that he had a good friend, surnamed Huang and named Sheng Zixing, who was a great sage in the world and was good at farming."

"He also said that his friend is good at cultivating high-yielding seeds on a large scale, and has invented a lot of advanced agricultural equipment, which can easily increase the yield per mu from one stone to three or four stones."

"However, his friend is indifferent to fame and fortune, and there is no way to invite him out of the mountain through ordinary methods. His only obsession is to compile an agricultural encyclopedia. You can try to invite his friend out of the mountain from this direction."
