Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 78 Little known, the real main story of the Three Kingdoms!

Xun Yu elicits the dialectical relationship between "Tao" and "Skill".

What Liu Yu immediately thought of was, in the Three Kingdoms, why did Liu Bei want to do justice to the world, but did things in a hurry?

Why can Cao Cao become a hero in troubled times "smoothly"?
After all, it's a commonplace topic.

Liu Bei has a way, but he can't name it, and he can't explain it clearly;

Liu Bei has no skills, so he is struggling, more sad than happy.

All this changed after meeting Zhuge Liang, and the "Tao" became clear all of a sudden. The slogan "Han and thief are not at odds, and Wang Ye is not partial to peace" shocked the world!

As for Cao Cao, he has a way, but he can't describe it, he can't explain it clearly!
But Xun Yu joined early, and he was able to explain clearly for him, and he was able to formulate the way of "serving the emperor" for him. In addition, Cao Cao is proficient in art, so...remarkable achievements!
This time... Xun Yu deliberately drew out the relationship between "Tao" and "Skill" because he knew himself too well, he was stronger than "Tao" but weaker than "Skill".

On the other hand, the young master of the Yulin temple, who was behind the curtain, drove Cao Cao to beat the Dengwen drum twice, which not only saved the Cao family from fire and water, but also brought a rare balance to the court.

And he made a fortune by hoarding beards and horses!
And... what he mentioned repeatedly just now is to participate in Xun Yu's wedding with Miss Tang.

How can Xun Yu fail to see that this is "benevolence", but this "favor" has been bestowed on Xun Yu's heart, this is "art", which can change the direction of the river!

"Dare to ask my virtuous brother, in your opinion, what is the crux of the state affairs of the Han Dynasty and the decline of the river?"

Xun Yu brought up a topic he was most interested in.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu asked directly with a mysterious expression. "Presumably, Wen Ruo already has an answer to this question? Brother Yu wants to hear my brother's unique opinion first."

The question... was thrown back again.

Xun Yu didn't evade, and immediately said loudly: "In Brother Yu's opinion, the crux of the Han Dynasty's affairs is not the eunuchs, nor natural disasters, man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, but all the resources monopolized by the rich and noble families."

After throwing this sentence, Xun Yu raised his head to look into Liu Yu's eyes. He wanted to judge his psychology when he heard this sentence through the change in Liu Yu's eyes.

only…

Liu Yu's eyes were as calm as lake water, he just added a sentence lightly.

"The most deadly thing is actually that under the 'inspection system', the gentry monopolizes all the bureaucrats of the big man!"

"Indeed." Xun Yu pondered for a moment, and continued with Liu Yu's words. "Within the great Han, the continuous expansion of powerful powers and the formation of noble families are inseparable from this 'inspection system'. Through the investigation system, nobles and powerful people can complete the transformation of status and continuous reincarnation, and eventually they will inevitably" Backlash against the imperial power'!"

Xun Yu didn't make his words too harsh.

But Liu Yu was extremely transparent about this.

In short, the powerful vitality of the powerful landlords lies in.

Under the general environment of small-scale peasant economy, there is always the possibility of self-sufficiency in rural society!
As for the clan forces rooted in the countryside, whenever they have the opportunity, they always want to get rid of the control of the empire, especially want to get rid of the burden of taxes and corvee, and live their lives behind closed doors.

The emergence of local tyrants is the entry of low-level scholars into the bureaucratic system through the "inspection system" and finally into the court.

Once he is an official in the court, his descendants, clansmen, and township party members will also become key assessment targets for subsequent investigations without his behind-the-scenes instructions.

After he retires or resigns and returns home, he can use the political resources he has to exert great influence in the local area, and even allow a steady stream of clan members and disciples to enter the bureaucratic system through "investigation" and become vassals of his faction!

As long as this reincarnation lasts for a few generations, a family with strong influence in the court and the locality will be born.

For example, the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong...

Another example is the Langya Wang family in the Jin Dynasty. How influential could they be?
Let’s talk about the Langya Wang clan in the Jin Dynasty. At that time, there was a nursery rhyme—“king” and “horse” share the world. The horse here is naturally the Sima clan who established Jin. As for the king...that is the Langya Wang clan!

That is to say, according to the original flow direction of the "stream" of the Han Empire, the Han Dynasty will inevitably become a "gentry" dynasty!
Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt a huge sense of oppression...

What he thought of was the "family world" and "gentry dynasty" established by Sima Yi!
I also thought of which of the Three Kingdoms is an unknown, real main line.

The four major clans in Yingchuan, Yuzhou are Xun, Chen, Zhong, and Han, corresponding to Xun Yu, Xun You; Chen Qun; Zhong Yao, Zhong Hui; Han Fu...

Some members of their family have served as county magistrates in Yingchuan!

The four major clans in Yingchuan led the sub-level "Guo Family", "Xin Family" and "Chunyu Family" to invest in Cao Cao and Yuan Shao...

Xun Chen was with Yuan Shao at the headquarters, and Xun Yu was with Cao Cao at the branch;
Guo Tu was with Yuan Shao at the headquarters, and Guo Jia was with Cao Cao at the branch.

The Han family, Xin family, and Chunyu family were with Yuan Shao at the headquarters;
The Zhong family and the Chen family are in the branch with Prime Minister Cao!
Later, the headquarters broke with the branch, so there was the battle of Guandu!

Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu and established the regime in the north, but he found that the political group headed by Yingchuan scholars had become a behemoth.

Fortunately, most of the generals in Cao Ying are from Qiao Peiwu, from the Cao family's faction, so they can check and balance the Yingchuan faction.

Even so, Cao Cao can only be forced to implement "only talents"!
This is a showdown, I, Cao Cao, don't recruit people with backgrounds, I just recruit pure dicks!
Because the recruited gentry children would all become members of the Yingchuan sect, and the gentry children of the Han Dynasty already recognized the famous Yingchuan scholars, so it was impossible for them to agree with the Cao family!

So there are five good generals...

Le Jin and Yu Jin are undisputed dicks!
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, generals with little status, are not dicks, but better than dicks!
Cao Cao didn't dare to reuse the real big families, like Li Dian's family!
It was only later that Li Dian sent more than [-] clansmen to Yecheng as hostages, and Cao Cao was relieved of him, and he was sure that he did not belong to the Yingchuan faction, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

There is also Cheng Yu, he directly resigned the official title of "Yanzhou Mu", which is tantamount to giving up his military power, and it means that I lie flat and become a mascot. I am not from the Yingchuan faction, so Cao Cao can confide in him!
Later, after Xun Yu's death, Sima Yi and Chen Qun replaced the older generation of Yingchuan talents and became the head of the new Yuzhou gentry, continuing to fight against the Cao family.

Why Sima Yi!
That's because Sima Yi's grandfather, Sima Jun, was the prefect of Yingchuan, and he has a deep bond of interest with the four county magistrates of Yingchuan...

Until, the change of Gaoping Mausoleum!

In the middle, Sima Yi fought against Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan successively;
Fighting through the generation of Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu;
In the end, he defeated Cao Shuang's generation again!
The Cao family clan was completely finished, and the Yuzhou gentry headed by Yingchuan Caijun took power in a true sense, including Zhong Hui and Chen Tai in the later period, all of whom were from Yingchuan.

After that, it was a joy to hear and see, and the Sima family created a clan dynasty.

Now Pinpin again, the three returned to Jin, who returned?
It is the continuation of the Yuzhou gentry headed by the Yingchuan faction!
What is the real main line of the Three Kingdoms?
It was never Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan fighting each other, but an old prefect of Yingchuan and four old county magistrates. The five families formed the Yingchuan gentry with their interests tied together!

Then, they invested in Yuan Shao, the head of the gentry, and Yuan Shao established a branch company, Cao Cao, and they dispersed their investments. In the end, the branch company won, and the clans of the branch company fought against the clan boss of the branch company for three generations. Finally succeeded and took power, the three families returned to Jin and established the clan dynasty.

This is the real main line of the Three Kingdoms!

To put it bluntly, the essence of the Three Kingdoms is that countless heroes stop the great river established by the clan dynasty, but...even if there are many heroes, they still cannot stop the "general trend"!
call…

With this in mind, Liu Yu let out a deep breath.

The strength and energy of the noble clan in power in the imperial court today is many times stronger than that of the Yingchuan clan during the Three Kingdoms period!
If you want to help the Han, what you can't get around is the hurdle of the gentry.

Whether it is a "stream" or a "river", water always goes somewhere.

The establishment of the clan dynasty is inevitable.

The only thing Liu Yu can do is to change its flow. What if... Taoism becomes a behemoth above the clan?

Alternatively, Taoism can be understood as the "Liu family" family.

What if the "Liu family" is above all clans?

If this rule can be formulated by Liu Yu!

This is the will of the master;

It is also the only way to "help the Han"!
