Chapter 206: The Scholars

Zhu Biao put away the letter to his father and queen mother, and then wrote it to the crown princess, and the general reply was to praise her for doing a good job, and then he didn't have to be too polite to the noble wife, and he had to hold the prestige of the crown princess.

In the end, Zhu Biao did not reply to her any lovesick poems, the love is deep, love is bound to hurt, Zhu Biao still hopes that he and Chang Luohua can respect each other and support each other to spend this life, instead of making it earth-shattering.

Now that he is a newlywed Yan'er, Chang Luohua is naturally devoted to Zhu Biao, but in the future, people will inevitably come in the East Palace one after another, and those who love too deeply will hate them more deeply.

Let people take the letter written by Zhang, and then tell the fast horse to send it back to the capital, Liu Jin brought a basin of water to wash Zhu Biao's feet, and then let him rest, there are always fewer days to rest, and Zhu Biao will have to return to the camp early tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky had not yet lit up, Zhang's mansion was already brightly lit, Zhu Biao walked to the front yard after dressing up, where were the Zhang family waiting, including the sleepy-eyed children, to Zhu Biao, Zhang's brought breakfast to Zhu Biao, and then instructed Liu Jin with red eyes.

Zhang can be called a sister by Zhu Biao, that is Liu Jin's aunt and grandmother, naturally she should laugh, of course, Zhang is not stupid, and naturally respects Liu Jin, the personal eunuch.

After eating, there was a glimmer of light blooming in the sky, Zhu Biao said a few more words to Zhang, and then got up and went out, and finally turned his head to look at Zhang's eldest son and said, "Educate well, and you should be reused in the future." ”

The people of the Zhang family hurriedly knelt down to thank him, with this sentence, this child has a guarantee for his whole life, as long as he is not crooked, he can serve beside His Royal Highness the Prince, which has a bright future.

Zhu Biao smiled, untied the dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist and asked Liu Jin to hand it to Zhang: "Leave a thought for Sister Yu'er, with the love of the master and servant of the year." ”

When the Zhang family heard this, he also understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that everything that should be given was given, and the Zhang family should respect itself in the future, and should not rely on his name to do evil, Zhang said with red eyes: "Slave and maid thank Your Highness." ”

Zhu Biao glanced at her and got on the horse and whipped away, and followed the team behind him, fortunately, it was early in the morning, plus the messenger cleared the road, the team went out of the city smoothly, and the officials of Pingyang Mansion also saw each other off at the door.

Zhu Biao nodded at them and rode over, the officials bowed to see each other, Zhu Biao also counted a matter, and the glory of the Zhang family began, as long as the Zhang family does not die, the Zhang family does not do excessive things, at least a hundred years of wealth and wealth, just like Jia Mu in "Dream of Red Mansions".

After Zhu led his two thousand horsemen out of the city, he followed more than 1,000 people one after another, which was arranged by Fei Ju just in case, no matter what happened in Pingyang City, three thousand elite iron armor was enough to escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of the city gate.

Zhu Biao led the army back to the camp, chatted with Zhu Fan and others who greeted him, and arranged for the army to pull out the camp and march directly to Taiyuan Mansion, passing through many villages along the way, but Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to move, and rashly taking orders to move the people was easy to provoke a backlash.

What's more, there are not too many people led by Zhu Biao, it is impossible to surround the entire Shanxi, and he can't catch the young and strong people fleeing in all directions, what is the use of forcibly relocating so many old, weak, sick and disabled, that is not to ask back a group of ancestors.

Therefore, it is still necessary to come soft first, gather some people who really want to leave or can't survive in the local area, and it will be easier to do the work in the future with their cooperation.

Of course, this also needs the support of the government and the gentry, before Zhu Biao entered Shanxi, he asked the local officials to call the village elders of each village, at this time the imperial court had just taken over Shanxi, and there was no management personnel for the villages, so the village elders and patriarchs of each village were really in charge.

Of course, there are also famous families in Shanxi, headed by the Taiyuan Wang family, of course, its prestige has long been far less prominent than that of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but in the eyes of the people and some scholars, the Wang family is still very prestigious.

It's a pity that the era of belonging to the family of gate valves has long passed, since the prosperity of the imperial examination, the imperial power is high above their heads, Zhu Biao said a word, they have to be obedient, otherwise Shanxi should also see blood.

Speaking of which, Zhu Biao has to thank the ancestors and emperors of the previous dynasties again, from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, the family families that have gradually grown have long become a factor affecting the change of power, especially the implementation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and the Yin clan Yin custom system, which allowed them to reach the peak.

In order to consolidate the imperial power, starting from Liu and Song, the rulers began to strive to weaken the influence of the scholars, and the supreme rulers of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen actively promoted the "children of the Han clan to take charge of the secret", and promoted a large number of children of the Han tribe to compete with the scholars.

However, compared with the Sui Dynasty, the policy of weakening the Shi clan during the Northern and Southern Dynasties was simply a small thing. After Emperor Wen of Sui established the Sui Dynasty, in order to strengthen his rule and reduce the influence of the scholars on the imperial court, he created the "imperial examination system", which made Zhu Biao sigh that he was worthy of being an emperor who could take Wen as his nickname, and he did have the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes.

Later, the Sui adopted the "Da Suo Maung Yue" and the law of losing nationality, seized hundreds of thousands of people from the hands of the nobles, and implemented the Juntian Law. During the Yang Emperor period, he took away the part of the tribe and the slaves and maids that could still be controlled by the scholars.

It can be said that by the time of the Sui Dynasty, the scholars had lost the protection of the law and the support of the economy, and the gate lord scholars who had been rampant for hundreds of years were already yesterday's yellow flowers.

So they made a last stand, and the Li clan of Longxi replaced the Yang clan as their representative, and it can be seen from the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion canonized by Li Shimin that the people from the Kwantung clan occupied fifteen of them.

It's just that they forgot that no matter which family becomes the emperor, the suppression of the Shi clan group will still not stop, Li Shimin ordered Gao Shilian and others to revise the "Clan Chronicles", which is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty version of "Hundred Family Names", but Gao Shilian and others obviously do not understand the holy will, they still list the Kwantung Cui family, the Lu family and the imperial Li family as the first-class scholar family.

Li Shimin was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, completely ignoring the majesty of the emperor: "I am with the Shandong Cui family......... It's rude too; Relying on wealth is shameless; I don't understand why the world is important?

Since then, the Tang Dynasty has been struggling to suppress the scholars, and the improvement of the imperial examination system has made the former gate lord scholars gradually transition to the civil official system, but if they are not careful, the civil official group will be more terrifying and greedy than the scholars.

Zhu Biao looked aimlessly ahead, but he thought in his heart that there would always be fools in the family, and it would be simple for anyone who could climb to the top of the civil service.

The two dragon gates of the imperial examination and the Huan Hai will cultivate the best talents from generation to generation, which will be his biggest help but also his biggest stumbling block.
