I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 86 What should come will always come

Based on the time of this era, the aristocratic family had already appeared more than a thousand years ago, and until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wars and chaos occurred frequently, the situation was turbulent, and the clan who lost the ability to govern the country could not deal with it at all.

With the development of productive forces, the development of papermaking, the increase in the popularity of books, and the implementation of the imperial examination system, the landlords of the common people can gradually enter the court and become officials through the imperial examination, shaking the monopoly of the clans in the field of culture and education, and the clans rely on it to maintain The manor model is difficult to maintain, which makes the so-called aristocrats in history gradually disappear.

But with the monopoly of the cultural and educational fields disappearing, is there no such group?

Liu Jian doesn’t think so, it’s just that the groups that monopolize education and official careers based on the Four Books and Five Classics have disappeared, but as long as there are human beings, there will still be classes that use monopoly as a means of oppression.

Human productivity will develop, and market economy, production capacity resources, and science and technology will eventually replace the Four Books and Five Classics and become the mainstream, and by then, monopoly will be global...

In short, judging from the nature of human development and plundering of human resources, groups like this will only exist in a different way because of human development, and will not become extinct.

If Liu Hong competes with Fan Yue with an attitude of eliminating or changing the system, he must be the first to perish.

The millennium-long historical process has shown that changing the inherent system by strategy, provocation, and imprisonment alone is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

Every evolution of organisms is bound to be accompanied by a revolution and an outbreak.

When the suffering of the human body accumulates to a certain level, there will inevitably be a disease, and the process of curing this disease has never been solved by a few internal groups quarrelling.

In human history, reform and war have always gone hand in hand.

In the hundred years after the end of the war, greater and stronger productivity will often emerge.

The Han Dynasty has come to the present situation because of the disputes between imperial power and official reading, ancient and modern texts, landlords and poor people, but it is no longer helpful to solve these contradictions one by one.

Solving the disputes between imperial power and official reading, and solving the disputes between ancient and modern texts will not bring about higher productivity, nor will it bring about any effective changes.

No matter who the real promoter of the Yellow Turban Uprising is, there is no doubt that the internal logic of this uprising is doomed.

Although it is painful, it is also the beginning of healing.

Liu Jian didn't say these words to Liu Hong, he could only understand them in his heart.

He just extracted simple principles from this big logic, and gradually pushed Liu Hong to do something.

……

"Your Majesty, all the benefits that the party can obtain this time have been exhausted during the Xiping period. Scholars have changed the way to deal with it. Your Majesty can think about it. Over the years, whether it is the filial son of Xuanling or Hongdu Whether the students of the sect can successfully enter the official position, but they still can't become the mainstream of the court, what His Majesty wants, after all, only three points can be obtained."

"School of Hongdu, filial son of Xuanling..."

Liu Hong reached out and rubbed his temples, muttering to himself.

This was a two-step move he made in order to change the gentry's entry into officialdom system, but the final effect could not meet his highest expectations, which made Liu Hong quite depressed.

"According to Aiqing's intention, do you want to follow Yuan Ji and others' intention to give up the party?"

"It's not giving up, it's slowly giving up. This time, Yuan Ji and others used the name of 'clan ceremony' to ask His Majesty to revoke the party prison. This move can be regarded as catching the attention of the world. From my point of view, the party prison is certainly going to be withdrawn. Yes, but His Majesty can't withdraw without reason, after all, we need to return some things His Majesty needs."

"Ai Qing thinks, what do I need right now?"

"This, I can't make a decision for Your Majesty. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven sits in the world and dominates the eight wastelands. What the Son of Heaven wants, I can't think of. It's just that there are some things that can't be rushed. I grew up in Zhuo County. My father once taught me that food should be eaten bite by bite, and things should be done one by one. Your Majesty, some things cannot be rushed, and they cannot be accomplished in one or two generations, and need to be worked out slowly."

Liu Hong was silent for a while, then slowly nodded and said: "I understand what Ai Qing means, but I have one last thing to ask you."

"Please Your Majesty's famous words."

"Yongle Shaofu Yuan Ji, although he is the leader of the second generation of the Yuan family, he has never done anything for many years. Now he is released by the party members. As the next suzerain of the Yuan family, he personally takes the lead. Why?"

Liu Jian was slightly silent when he heard the words.

His answer this time is likely to be related to Liu Hong's attitude and policy towards the Yuan family and other aristocratic families in Beijing in the next few years.

His thoughts turned sharply, and he weighed things quickly, before he saluted: "Yuan Ji at this time is quite like His Majesty in September of the first year of Jianning."

When Liu Hong heard this, he naturally understood.

What happened in the first year of Jianning?
September [-] coup.

After that, Grand Tutor Chen Fan, General Dou Wu, Shang Shuling Yin Xun, and servant Liu Yu were all exterminated. The Empress Dowager Dou, who was not Liu Hong's mother, but enjoyed the treatment of Liu Hong's mother, was driven to Yuntai in Nangong, and The biological mother whom the emperor had so much in mind, finally became Empress Xiaoren and lived in Yongle Palace.

Although the September coup was not an act of seizing power directly initiated by the young emperor, but a counterattack by the eunuchs, it has to be admitted that Liu Hong was the biggest beneficiary of that coup.

Since then, he has become an emperor who can truly enjoy imperial power from a child whose hands and feet were bound.

"I understand!" Liu Hong nodded slowly: "No pretense of power, the second generation of the Yuan family is determined to stand at the forefront of the court."

"Your Majesty is holy, compared to Yuan Situ who is nearly [-] years old, the person who will compete with His Majesty all the year round will eventually be a member of the second generation of the Yuan family. Your Majesty, it is better sooner rather than later, and the sooner you try to figure out the opponent's skills and routines. Your Majesty is more beneficial."

Liu Hong was silent for a while, and finally said to Liu Jian:
"Aiqing's loyalty is comparable to that of Gongdan."

Gongdan?hehe……

Liu Jian secretly laughed in his heart, in fact, you want to regard me as Qu Yuan and Bigan, right?

"The interests of the party's government have been exhausted. Next, we have to change to a new method, right?" Liu Hong asked Liu Jian.

"Yes."

But Liu Jian secretly said in his heart: In terms of the existing shortcomings of the court, all methods are useless.

Just like a company whose organizational structure or business philosophy has been completely ruined, there is no other way but to reorganize.

"Your Majesty, gradually pardoning Dang Gu is a great victory for Yuan Ji. In this season of victory, if His Majesty is to be promoted to the rank of permanent servant among you, I think he will not encounter too much resistance."

It was not a day or two before Liu Hong wanted to make eunuchs marquises. Once eunuchs were made marquises, the emperor could use this shareholder style to appoint relatives of powerful and powerful people to important local positions, and expand the imperial power again to a certain extent.

"Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhongshi just shouted to kill you in front of me, but you asked me to ennoble them. Don't you blame them?"

Liu Jian said: "The two ministers are the same as the ministers, they are all thinking of His Majesty, but in different ways."

Liu Hong was silent for a while, and reached out to pat Liu Jian on the shoulder: "But after all, their structure is too small compared with Aiqing."

"Your Majesty, I have something else to do."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, please transfer the subject from the Yueqi camp, and still give him the position of Lang Guan, so that the subject can be better devoted to His Majesty."

Liu Hong looked at him rather puzzled: "Why did you say that? Could it be that a captain of two thousand shi is not as good as a Yilang of six hundred shi?"

"I'm just used to fighting alone, that's all."

Liu Hong pondered for a while, and understood in his heart.

"Aiqing came to Luoyang from the beginning of Zhuojun County. Her roots are not deep. She is not like others. Letting you serve as the captain of the first battalion without a good person to assist you is really embarrassing for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"However, your appointment as the Yueqi school lieutenant is my personal order, and it cannot be changed. What is the power of heaven? In this way, you can change or transfer the officials in the five battalions of the Northern Army at your own discretion. You can know it yourself. Zhang Rang Over there, I will coordinate on my own, and Ai Qing doesn't need to worry about it."

　Recently, I am collecting some manuscripts to be put on the shelves. Mainly, I am not full-time, so it may be more difficult than other authors.
