Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 488 Lu Ying's last words
In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the emperor issued an edict to completely end Wu Wang Liu Bi's rebellion. He stopped wantonly arresting his party members, no longer accepting reports, and forbidding county officials to deal with related matters privately.

The knives hanging over the heads of countless people finally disappeared, and the terrifying political atmosphere will destroy the vitality of the entire society. With the end of the incident, the repressed merchants became active again.

Countless tycoons have been investigated, countless high-ranking nobles have been liquidated, and the entire society is flooded with a large amount of floating and ownerless wealth.

Suddenly, a large number of vacancies were found in the official positions that had nowhere to be sought. Those businesses that were so rich that they were even about to monopolize were suddenly torn apart. The upper echelon of the dynasty suddenly opened countless positions to the middle and lower echelons.

What a vibrant scene this is!
The east wind blew across Chang'an, and the bitter cold made the people of Chang'an wrap their thick clothes tightly. The uninterrupted wind blew away all the blood. There will always be new nobles boarding Changle, and the old nobles will soon be forgotten.

It seems that it has not been long since the big purge in the old year, but many people have gradually forgotten it.

Qin Tianjian.

This is the department that monitors the movement of the sun, moon and stars. The update and adjustment of the calendar is also carried out here, which is an extremely noble position.

In the world, who is best at astronomy and calendar?

Rockwell!

Whose family is the Lord of Four Seasons from?
Rockwell!

Luo's son naturally took the post of Qin Tianjian Zheng, in charge of the four seasons of the Han Dynasty, astronomy and geography.

This made Qin Tianjian more and more dignified.

After all, the last time Luo's son held such a hereditary official position was Da Zongzheng in the Bang Zhou period!
Luo Qing sat quietly in the hall, holding a volume of books in his hands and reading. Qin Tianjian didn't have many affairs, and even fewer things needed him to deal with.

The delicate maid came to Luo Qing's side as lightly as a butterfly, lifted her skirt and sat down, first poured a cup of tea for Luo Qing, and then poured another bowl for herself.

She is the younger sister of Luo Qing's clan, so she is naturally different from the masters and servants in other noble families, but she is the younger sister who takes care of her elder brother.

She said softly: "My lord, there is news from the palace that the Empress Dowager was unconscious when she went to the garden, and the condition seems to be very serious."

Luo Qing paused when she heard the words, then turned her head to look at her clan sister, and said softly: "Sister Thirteen, this is not a joke."

Thirteenth Sister said solemnly: "Brother, all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Office have gone to the palace just now. It is definitely not an ordinary illness. Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is getting old, so this time is probably not good."

Empress Dowager Lu Ying, this is a strange woman, widely praised in the government and the public, and some even praised her as "better than Empress Gao, the second day of Han Dynasty".

Needless to say, the merits of Empress Gao Lu Zhi's regentship, in the Han Dynasty, the praise of a woman is second only to Empress Gao, and there is no higher praise than this.

Luo Qing is more aware of the role played by Lu Ying in the Jingnan Battle, and the shadow of the empress dowager can be seen in Liu Xun's previous decisions, playing a vital role in maintaining the relationship between the Lu family, the Luo family and the royal family. played an irreplaceable role.

……

In the Weiyang Palace, there is a gloomy cloud. One of the supreme rulers of the Han Empire, the Empress Dowager is seriously ill.

Even though he was already kneeling on the side of the sick bed, Liu Xun still couldn't believe this. His mother was obviously in such good health...

"how could be?"

Liu Xun held his mother's hand tightly and couldn't help murmuring, "How could it be?"

Lu Ying has been strong all her life, and it remains unchanged at this time, dragging her sick voice and said: "Emperor, don't be a child, you are the king of all people in the world, you must be strong at all times, I have something to say to you, don't say it again It's too late."

Liu Xun wiped tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Mother, tell me."

There are countless words in Lu Ying's heart. She has too many things to explain, and finally she turned her attention to the queen Xu Pingjun, and said: "Emperor, the queen has a son, it's not enough, at least one more, remember, at least one more Want one!"

Liu Xun and Xu Pingjun were taken aback when they heard the words, why did the topic suddenly turn to having a baby?

Lu Ying sighed lightly: "My lord, don't you understand this truth?

To evaluate an emperor not only depends on his personal ability when he is in power, but also depends on whether he can arrange a successor.

Among the former emperors of my Great Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaohui can be regarded as...

But Emperor Xiaohui was able to make King Luowen regent and succeed him as Emperor Xiaowen. Who in the world would not admire him?
The ability of Emperor Xiaowu can be said to be astonishing in the past, but first there was Emperor Xiaoding, then there was Emperor Li, and then there was Liu Bi's disaster, and his name after his death was affected by these unworthy descendants.

You will definitely establish a queen, so only one prince is not safe, what if he is unworthy? "

As soon as Liu Xun's expression changed, he thought about it carefully, even if the prince was unworthy, he would forcefully help him up, and immediately understood what his mother was worried about.

Liu Xun nodded, and then Lu Ying began to really explain the funeral, "My emperor, I have been teaching you something since you were a child.

It will still be the same when you become emperor.

Now that I am dying, I want to say something to you, but I can't find a word.

After thinking about it, let's talk about Lu and Luo's problems.

The Lu family is a relative, but I have never asked you to reuse them.

Your uncle has been staying in Jimo all the time, I hope you can do this all the time to repay your uncle's credit. "

Liu Xun nodded in understanding and Lu Ying said in a deep voice, "The Luo family...

In fact, I have never known how to persuade you. Emperor Gao was heroic all his life, Emperor Xiaohui had self-knowledge, Emperor Xiaowen was humble, and Emperor Xiaowu was confident.

Only you are talented, but it is too coincidental. In fact, you don't have to worry about it, you are the most powerful person in the world.

Feelings will deceive people, but the powerful officials in the world will not, they flock to you, this is your power.

Over the years, you have gradually found a way to get along with Luo Shi, I don't want to waste time on this.

The world is gradually recovering, but one thing I have been worrying about is the impact of the Jingnan Battle! "

The battle of Jingnan.

Liu Xun's back felt slightly chilly. This event that affected the entire Han Dynasty almost reshaped the structure of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the Battle of Jingnan, an unknown number of people died, and an unknown number were exiled.

Seeing Liu Xun's fear, Lu Ying frowned slightly and said, "After the battle of Jingnan was over, you exchanged your wealth for the power of Jingnan's heroes, and you vigorously raised the status of your clan and relatives as a balance.

But none of that matters, what matters is that there are too many political purges. "

Liu Xun said with some seriousness: "Mother, those political purges must be done, otherwise the throne of Dahan Sheji and his son will be more turbulent."

The so-called congenital deficiency is like this!
Some things that are obviously not beneficial have to be done, and some problems that should be solved as soon as possible have to be ignored. This is the inherent deficiency of the dynasty or the emperor.

Lu Ying said weakly: "Of course I understand, so I never stopped you. I just want to tell you the consequences. Since you came to the throne, there have been five large-scale political purges, three involving only Guanzhong, and two involving world.

These five purges tip the balance.

Because the talents among clan relatives, relatives, and princes are limited, but the number of scholars in the world is infinite. You have wiped out the political power of the past, and you can only use scholars who have studied classics to fill these vacancies.

These Confucian scholars are much more terrifying than clan relatives, relatives and princes. "

"horrible?"

Liu Xun was a little puzzled and said: "Mother, some of those Confucian scholars are from small landlords, some are from powerful families in counties and counties, and only a small part are from the families of princes and princes. What's so scary about it?
When the hero Jing Nan held the power of the entire Han Dynasty, I have never seen you say the word terrible. "

Lu Ying sighed lightly: "What's so scary about Jing Nan's hero?
Not to mention the fact that they are all loyal ministers, even if there are ambitious people among them, I am not afraid at all, because all the behaviors of Jing Nan heroes are predictable, and they are all political rules passed down from the time of Empress Gao and King Luo Wen.

Even if they hold sharp weapons, their minds are already under my control, so what is there to be afraid of?
But the behavior of scribes is unpredictable. You think they are docile sheep, but you don't know where the sharp teeth are hidden.

Just like when the military meritorious nobles first appeared, they were just some low-level military officers. Who would have known that this group of people would eventually trample all the thousand-year-old nobles under their feet?
When the countries rebelled against Qin, the world thought that Xiang's surname Ji was about to win the world, but in the end it was Emperor Gao, a man of commoner background, who ascended the throne.

Since the appointment of Jia Yi by Emperor Xiaowen, how long has the prime minister of the Han Dynasty been controlled by scholars of Confucian classics? "

Liu Xun made some calculations and said in surprise, "There is only one marquis with a military background, and the rest are all marquises based on their status."

Lu Ying said indifferently: "Now not only the aspect is theirs, but everything in the Han Dynasty will be handed over to these Confucian scholars, and you have no other choice, because apart from these people, you have no one to use, unless you activate the Kanto princes , back to the time when Dahan was just established."

Liu Xun was silent, the mother and son were not talking, and the hall was very quiet.

----

The political cleansing by Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, completely destroyed the main political forces of the Han Dynasty over the past century. In order to put the Han Dynasty back on track, he chose the group of Confucian scholars to supplement the vacant officials.

He expanded the scale of the Taishang Academy Palace. According to historical records, "the Taixue has ten thousand houses, all of which are luxurious residences." It reached its peak in the 20th year of Yuanfeng. The school was opened, called the Academy, to show the difference from the Taishang Academy and the Luoshi Academy.

After the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the style of folk lectures was interrupted, and now it is prevalent again. The disciples of the famous Gao Shimen even gathered more than [-] people. According to historical records, "With tens of thousands of people, when you pass the county, the county soldiers look forward to it."

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, the huge number of scholars quickly overwhelmed the past political system, and the era of Confucian classics has arrived irreversibly. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
