Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 149: The powerful families of Wei and Jin are like blood-sucking insects lying on the imperial court

He raised his head and glanced at Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who seemed to be enlightened.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked seriously:
"Boss, have you written down everything Mr. Lin said just now?"

"what?"

Zhu Biao seemed to be so engrossed in what he heard that he actually forgot about his mission.

Fortunately, he had a good memory, so he confessed his crime to Zhu Yuanzhang and recorded it in a flash.

the other side.

After Zhu Xi listened to Lin Che's words, he thought about it for a moment.

But a new question was raised:
"Sir, since some people knew this was happening during the Spring and Autumn Period, didn't anyone take the initiative to intervene?"

Lin Che smiled slightly and did not answer Zhu Xi's question directly.

Then another thing came up:

"Have you figured out the answer to the homework I gave you before?"

heard.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping next door, immediately thought of the question Lin Che asked Zhu Xiang in prison.

At the same time, he also understood what Lin Che meant.

"The emperor plays the role of an intervener in the overall structure of society."

"Control! Mr. Lin, the function of the emperor is to control all of this."

As an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply touched by these two sentences.

On the other side, Zhu Yun, after Zhu Yuanzhang whispered to himself, excitedly said his own similar answer.

Lin Che nodded and changed Zhu Ping's answer into a more precise word.

"To be precise, today's emperor is the regulator of the social structure!"

He talked eloquently and said:

"In the entire dynasty structure, the emperor has supreme power."

"When one's own power is threatened."

"In order to safeguard the imperial power and maintain his own rule, the emperor will definitely do his best to regulate and find ways to contain these unorganized forces, so it cannot be said that there is no intervention."

Zhu Xi asked with some confusion:
"Mr. Lin, since there is intervention, why does the unorganized force continue to grow?"

Obviously, Zhu Xiang was constrained in his thinking by the limitations of the feudal era.

"First of all, we need to understand the direction and purpose of the emperor's regulation in the social structure."

Lin Che raised her hand to signal Zhu Ming not to be impatient.

He held up a finger and spoke slowly.

"One is to keep the bureaucracy unified and fluid."

"In short, it is with the consent of the regime."

"Try to leave an upward path for scholars at the bottom to avoid the emergence of wealthy families like those in the Jin and Jin Dynasties."

Zhu Ping didn't read many history books, so he couldn't help but wonder when he heard this:
"Sir, the great scholars who taught me have many praises for the character of the Wei and Jin dynasties."

"I have also said that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were really powerful families, and that was the reason why the Tang Dynasty's iron cavalry swept the world and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."

"But in Huangchao, all the noble families were slaughtered, and there were no noble families anywhere to help the emperor consolidate his power, which led to the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Without the protection of the noble families, we, the Han people, turned out to be the slaughtered lambs in the mouths of the Tatars. !”

"Even if the Song Dynasty ended the troubled times, it was unable to compete with the Khitan, Jurchen, and Xixia, which ultimately led to the tragic situation of China's destruction by the pseudo-Yuan Dynasty."

Although Lin Che and Zhu Xi had already explained it fundamentally.

The reason for the military poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty.

But the long-standing traditional thoughts and the indoctrination of the great Confucians day after day.

Although he agreed with Lin Che's statement.

But I also believe that the decline of China after the Tang Dynasty is inseparable from the aristocratic families.

"Forget about the aristocratic families who brag about the Tang Dynasty. Although they also lie on the Tang Dynasty to suck blood, they still exerted their strength when fighting the barbarians."

"But Wei Jin is a member of an aristocratic family, so what does it mean?"

When Lin Che heard Zhu Ping's nonsense, she couldn't help laughing.

In his eyes, there was nothing but disdain that could not be concealed. "The so-called character of the Wei and Jin Dynasties is nothing more than a group of hereditary nobles and high-ranking officials who became crazy after breaking five stones. They often do crazy things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand!"

"Do you think that some scholars always praise the Wei and Jin Dynasties and miss the truly distinguished celebrities at that time?"

"Bullshit! What they miss is the hereditary replacement of high-ranking officials and nobles during the Wei and Jin Dynasties!"

In the dark Jin Dynasty.

For many children of powerful families, their official positions in life were determined by their own strength before they were born.

There is never any need to worry about whether you will be dismissed from office if you do not do well as an official.

Don't imagine that you will get a chance to be promoted after making achievements.

A carrot and a pit, these were all decided long ago.

At first glance, it seems that the imperial court uses official positions to control all the powerful forces in the world.

Winning them all under his command.

From then on, the entire dynasty could enjoy peace in everything.

In fact, the result is exactly the opposite.

Because of the disappearance of the ascending channel, the entire dynasty fell directly into a pool of stagnant water.

Except for rebellion, no matter what the aristocratic family does, it will not affect their status.

So he tried his best to poach the court and strengthen his family.

In the end, the two Jin Dynasties were destroyed and the Five Huns destroyed China.

"It turns out that the wealthy families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were actually blood-sucking insects lying on the imperial court?"

"They control most of the world's resources and control all the upward channels."

"So that all classes of society lost their mobility, which ultimately led to the barbarians raging in the Central Plains?"

After Lin Che unceremoniously exposed Zhu Xi's true thoughts on the so-called Wei and Jin Dynasties.

My favorable impression of the aristocratic family was greatly reduced.

At the same time, I also want to apply to my father to replace the great scholars who are now in the university hall.

These people are talking nonsense and are harmful to people.

Lin Che waited for Zhu Xi to figure it out, then changed the topic back.

"Exactly like this, there were talented but humble scholars in the Jin Dynasty."

"Because of his status restrictions, he turned to the Hu people in a rage, and then led the Hu soldiers to violently attack the powerful families of the Jin Dynasty."

"So in the following dynasties, many emperors tried their best to avoid the emergence of a powerful family where father died and son died, leaving an upward path for ordinary scholars, so as to hold the center of power in their own hands."

In fact, it was not just the Central Plains Dynasty.

Even the Japanese slaves next door have been monopolized by the nobles for a long time.

It was after the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty returned from studying in the Tang Dynasty.

After a bloody battle.

Finally, fighting reforms were carried out, the ancient slavery system was abandoned, and the feudal system, which was still very advanced at that time, was implemented.

officially became a real country.

"Sir, what is the second point of the emperor's adjustment?"

After Zhu Xi digested what Lin Che said, he couldn't wait to know the following knowledge.

"I heard that Yingtianfu's roast goose, paired with Shaoxing's Nuerhong, tastes great."

Lin Che did not answer Zhu Xi's question. Instead, she touched her belly and talked about irrelevant things.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiang immediately became angry:

"That bastard, I asked him to go out to buy food, but he still hasn't come back after so long."

"He wants to starve you to death, sir. It's almost noon."

"When he comes back, we have to skin him!"

"Things without eyes!"
