As the symbol and ruler of imperial power, the emperor has a supreme position as an individual, but as far as the imperial power itself is concerned, it is a whole, a collection of many forces, when the many wills of this collection begin to concentrate and finally come to an agreement, even if it is the emperor, can he rebel? If it really comes to the end, no matter what the reason, the emperor finally chooses to go against the grain, then there will only be one ending, that is, the imperial power in the hands of the emperor will abandon him.

An emperor without rights is a puppet who will be toyed with by his ministers.

At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the power of the family was not extensive, although there were some families, the power was extremely strong, and even several degrees of power leaned towards the government and the opposition, but he could not shake the ruling foundation of the Zhao royal family, but with the passage of time, to the Xuanzong Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty has lasted for more than 150 years, those meritorious ministers at the beginning of the founding of the country, their descendants, multiplied and grown, after more than 100 years of continuation, many families, has developed into a large number, flourishing, throughout the court and the opposition inside and outside the powerful family, In the Xuanzong period, most of the political rights and interests inside and outside the government and the opposition were all in the hands of those family lords, which had seriously threatened the ruling foundation of the Jin Dynasty and the imperial power of the Zhao family.

Therefore, Xuanzong was determined to reform, abolish the left and right prime ministers, improve the system of three provinces and six ministries, and increase the number of seats in the country, which seemed to give more benefits and rights to those family gates, but with the increase in the number of ministers, the absolute power was concentrated in the hands of a few people or two, but now it is diverted, which broke the high degree of concentration and union of many family gates, and effectively strengthened the stability of imperial power, vigorously select the talented people of the Han tribe.

Since the beginning of the Xuanzong Dynasty, the comparison of the number of Xiangguo, as well as the main officials of the six ministries, the Hanmen and the Shijia Gate Valve, have always been maintained at a relatively balanced point, and the Hanmen and the Shijia Gate Valve have checked and balanced each other.

The successive emperors after Xuanzong continued this practice, and as a result, the Jin Dynasty maintained stability for nearly four hundred years.

It's just that those poor families who have been supported have been officials for several generations, passed down from generation to generation, and after hundreds of years, like a reincarnation, they replaced their predecessors and became the new family gatekeeper.

The last sentence You Yuanfeng said to Li Xun was very vague and tactful, but Li Xun still understood a little, he was telling Li Xun that the family has developed to this day, and it has become a cancer of the country, Zhao Zhi, as the emperor, only talks about the plot of power, he is extremely superb, but even with Zhao Zhi's means and strategy, he only reluctantly arranged Li Zhong into the political hall, except for Li Zhong, in Zhao Zhi's dynasty for decades, all the candidates for the country, there is no family member.

At this moment, Li Xun suddenly had a strange idea, Zhao Zhi seemed to be strong, and the Son of Heaven was authoritative, but from a deeper level, Zhao Zhi may have been completely hollowed out by an alternative one.

Li Xun couldn't help but think of Zhao Zhi before he died, leaving a will, let himself enter the political hall as a minister, at that time he didn't understand this, whether it was Zhao Zhi or Zhao Xun, he was very afraid of foreign relatives to interfere in politics, therefore, he made so great achievements in Longyou, but in the end he was deprived of military power and became an idler.

Thinking of this, Li Xun suddenly had some guesses, Zhao Zhi may have reached the last moment of his life, and suddenly figured out some problems, in his life, he worked hard to reshape the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty by means of power and strategy, and regained the face of the Son of Heaven lost by Pingzong in his later years, so that the majesty of the Son of Heaven shocked the world again, but all of this was done with the help of the power of the family gate, in this process, Zhao Zhi got what he wanted, and as a community of Zhao Zhi's political alliance, The family gate valve also got what they wanted, and even got much more than Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi pushed Li Xun into the political hall, perhaps at the last moment of his life, he finally figured it out, the current situation, relatives are involved in politics or something, it is no longer important, the important thing is that there are nine ministers in the political hall, eight of them are from the family gate, Li Zhong is difficult to support alone, and his political wisdom is difficult to withstand such a complex situation, people outside the many family gates, people with sufficient weight and strength, not nothing, but Zhao Zhi also has to consider a problem, these people may be loyal to themselves, But it is not necessarily loyal to Zhao Xun, and the consequences of improper employment will only make the situation more difficult to control.

Although Li Xun is young, he has developed very well in Longyou in the past few years, and the team in his hands has begun to take shape, Li Cunxiao, Li Zhaodi, Zhao Zhang, Lei Wanhai and a number of young generals have risen to a certain position, these people are all pulled up by Li Xun, over time, once Li Cunxiao and others grow up, Li Xun will have a decisive military force in his hands, plus Li Zhong, an influence in Longyou, an influence in Anbei, the strength of the two combined, enough to deter the political hall, That group of tigers are eyeing many family valves.

Li Xun was silent for a long time, and fell into deep contemplation.

"Boy, there are a lot of problems, not for you to figure out."

You Yuanfeng spoke out and planned Li Xun's contemplation.

Li Xun came back from his contemplation, looked at You Yuanfeng, and said silently: "Isn't it good for everyone to work together to make the country strong?" Why do you have to fight so much? ”

You Yuanfeng sneered: "The most indispensable thing in the world is careerists, and the development of power to the extreme will only confirm one truth, if you divide for a long time, you must be together, and you must be divided for a long time."

"What do you want so much power for? After all, there is only one throne. ”

"People everywhere have been rioting and rebelling all year round, and there is only one life, why should they do this?"

Facing You Yuanfeng's rhetorical question, Li Xun was silent.

You Yuanfeng poured Li Xun a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Boy, you don't have to think about it so much. ”

Li Xun looked at You Yuanfeng in confusion.

You Yuanfeng said lightly: "You are kind to Zhao Xun, the Queen Mother is your aunt, there are these two premises, in a short period of time, no one and no force can move you, no longer erupt in excitement, and die in silence, you have come to this point today, why do you want to remain silent?" There are some things that you can't get out of once they happen. ”
