Xiahou Shang wore a hat with two layers of black veil to cover his face, and at the same time wore a mask sewn from fine linen, like a patient.

He walked with Xiahouba on the side of the dock in Maicheng, there was no third person by his side, and his tone was casual: "Liu Bei is strong and has no intention of accepting exiles and belongings." Tian Xiaoxian also has the heart to suppress each family, and my Xiahou clan is full of families, so only Zhongquan can serve the Han. ”

Xiahou Xian, the cousin, did not actively serve the Han family during the Northern Expedition, and now the opportunity has been missed, so he will do a noble official position such as a senator, and it is difficult to get in touch with real power.

If you don't have a position of real power, you can't make political achievements, and if you don't have political achievements, it will be difficult to be promoted in the Han family.

This is different from the Later Han Dynasty and Cao Wei, there is a kind of competition in the New Han court; The old father still has to look at his merits, qualifications and political achievements, not to mention the newly attached Xiahou family.

Xiahou Ba couldn't figure it out, frowned, and was not happy: "It is reasonable to open the door of convenience, pardon those who commit minor crimes, and make meritorious contributions to the crimes." In this way, the people in the north have a way out, and they will not be burned. It seems that now, he is aggressive and leaves no way out. ”

"Hehe, Zhongquan's words are not right."

Xiahou Shang was holding a rattan cane in his hand, and when he noticed that a group of people from the dock in the distance had disembarked, he leaned forward slightly and made a rickets, and his pace slowed down: "Cao Pi can't descend, how can Heqia, Du Ji, Liu Ye, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Gao Rou, Sima Yi and others be willing to descend?" ”

His own family surrendered early, and he had an in-law relationship with Zhang Fei, and his hands were not stained with too much blood of the Han army, otherwise how could he have his current status?

More than 1,000 parts are raised in Feihu Mountain, which is the capital given by the Han court to the Xiahou family, which also means that the road of the Xiahou family has been planned, and the children can only start from Rong, don't want to continue the transformation.

Transformation into a new family...... It doesn't seem like a good thing now.

Although the emerging family has not yet shown any harm, it is naturally opposed to the military nobles of the Han family headed by the Sanke family.

There are so many official positions in the imperial court, are they filled by military nobles, or are they held by the children of the family and the famous people from the poor families who have been educated by the family?

Xiahou Shang analyzed the composition of the Wei Empire and the New Han Empire in his mind...... Unfortunately, the military aristocracy of the Han Empire was even stronger.

Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and in this process, he took advantage of the righteousness of the world, and the surrender and rebellion were very smooth; It also makes the internal military power always in a state of three-dimensional equilibrium.

On the one hand, it is the Qian Pei Township Party, and on the other hand, it is the generals who are actively moving closer to the Cao family, and these generals recognize the Cao family and do not recognize the Han family; On the other hand, the troops who surrendered to Cao Cao because of the Xuchang court, such as Liu Xun, Zang Ba, Zhang Xiu, Ma Teng, Gao Gan and so on.

In the end, this force belongs to the object of constant purging, and there is also a certain estrangement between the Qian Pei Township Party and the generals and generals with foreign surnames, and they have not been able to integrate with each other.

Therefore, there were clear factional boundaries within the Wei army, and it was impossible to unite, which gave the family the opportunity to intervene and control the military power.

The Han army is different, and they all develop around the Jingzhou army.

The Jingzhou army entered Yizhou and developed Liu Bei's Yizhou soldiers, Zhang Fei's Bajun soldiers, Guan Yu and Ma Liang in the Jingzhou left-behind troops, Tian Xin's Xiangzhou army based in Jingnan, and Zhuge Liang's army was also composed of Yizhou soldiers and Jingzhou soldiers.

In terms of root cause and development process, the composition of the Han army is very pure, and since the establishment of Sanke, Tian Xin has promoted the policy of changing food and food for the ministry in twists and turns, eliminating the private soldiers of the internal generals.

The Han army is one, Tian Xin promotes education in the army, and selects soldiers in the army; Guan Yu and Zhang Fei implemented it in a small area, and the Yulin soldiers, tiger soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the five school battalions of the Northern Army had a historical tradition of training military officials. Now it is just a matter of reviving tradition and increasing the scope of training and selection.

The result was fatal...... This is true for the rebels in the north.

They all felt that the Han court controlled the expansion of its territory, and there should be a shortage of many officials, which was a problem that could not be alleviated and a problem that needed to be solved urgently.

It is impossible for the Han court to have sufficient reserve officials, otherwise it would not have let the three dukes and nine kings and other high positions hang empty for so long.

However, while disarming, the Han army also placed military officials, which solved the three problems of excessive military budget, military personnel placement, and shortage of local officials.

There was no shortage of officials in the Han court, so why squeeze out a place to settle the family?

Things are so sad, and what is even more sad is that these people have been planned for their fate, and there is an idle period of about fifteen years.

Fifteen years later, the pattern in the Han court has been consolidated, what can these people do with themselves?

I didn't know how to persuade Xiahou Ba for a while, so that Xiahou Ba could actively serve and strive for the opportunity to become the minister.

The position of the minister at the beginning of the country is very important, and the seniority and lintel of a family with a history of 2,000 stones can be guaranteed.

2,000 stone ...... What an unfamiliar word, since Chen Qun established and promoted the nine-product Zhongzheng system, the goal of each family is to be born in the upper three grades.

The history is two thousand stones, and the county guard is also two thousand stones; But in the current Great Wei, the county guard is a five-grade official, not up or down, and he is in the middle, no matter how you look at it, it is not as direct as the "Nine-grade Official Law".

It is true that the fundamental purpose of Chen Qun's promotion of this policy was to compete for the power of inspection from the countryside and the notable celebrities, and to bring the power of public opinion controlled by the local nobles to the imperial court, and the central officials and junior officials appointed by the imperial court were responsible.

But the local scholar clan is just a small family, where can it compare to the behemoth in the center of the imperial court?

The establishment and development of the Jiupin Official Law, regardless of its original intention and purpose; In the process of implementation, it is inevitable that the power of probation will be monopolized by central officials, what is the origin of these central officials?

If the Great Wei can prosper for a long time, with the merits, family, and influence of the Xiahou family, how can the children of the family be rated as the top three grades; The children of the Shuliu side branch can evaluate the middle and third grades. What a future this is...... It's a pity that you can't beat it on the battlefield.

There was a faint regret in his heart, and Xiahou Shang couldn't show it, so as not to affect Xiahou Ba's state and be seen out.

After thinking about it, Xiahou Shang said: "At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu went east to fight with King Xiang, and Shen Tujia, a native of Suiyang, was a strong crossbowman from Rong, and moved the team because of merit. After the rebellion of Gaozu Ping Yingbu, Shen Tujia worshiped the captain with meritorious service. When Emperor Hui arrived, he sent Huaiyang County to guard. In the first year of Emperor Wen, he elected the deceased officials from Gaozu to conquer the war, and now he is two thousand stones, and there are twenty-four people in the world at that time, all of whom worship the Marquis of Guannei, and Shentu Jiade has 500 households. ”

"Later, Zhang Cang was the prime minister, Bai Shen Tujia was the imperial historian, and the descendant Zhang Cang was the Han minister, and he was named the Marquis of An."

"When Emperor Wen was in power, Shen Tujia almost killed his favorite minister Deng Tong; When Emperor Jing, because he failed to kill Chao Cuo, he vomited blood in anger and died. ”

Chao Gai provoked the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and after the pacification of the Seven Kingdoms, the prestige and control of the imperial family increased greatly; Only then did Emperor Xiaowu cut off the foundation of the nobles.

Seeing that Xiahou Ba was in thought, after a while, Xiahou Shangcai said: "Today, Duke Chen, Duke Song, and Duke Wei are lecturing in the army and opening a department. The trend of the world has changed greatly. ”

While speaking, Xiahou Shang lowered his head, not letting the people passing by notice the abnormality, and coughed dryly: "Ming Gong should make a decision early." ”

Xiahou Ba nodded slightly, the talents of the early Han Dynasty withered, and a strong crossbowman could accumulate merit and save his resume to be promoted to the prime minister of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, but is it not the meritorious old minister behind him?

Emperor Wu successively cleaned up most of the military merits, and this example is very bad.

Now the future emperor of the Han dynasty has the slightest hint of this, which can inspire the fierce resistance of the army, the military nobles of the fathers.

Obviously, cooperating with the family will be opposed and resisted by the meritorious nobles.

Since it is not good to be a family, then actively move closer to the meritorious nobles, say that it is not good to boil the qualifications, and you can also perform the position of the minister.
