Chapter 505: Emperor Wu

The eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty are Yuwentai, Yuan Xin, Li Hu, Li Bi, Zhao Gui, Yu Jin, Dugu Xin and Hou Mo Chen Chong.

Of the eight pillar states, Yuwentai is the president of the overall situation, and Yuan Xin is just a representative of the Western Wei clan at that time, with no real power, and there are six pillar states left, each of which commands two generals and commands the soldiers of each government.

But Lonely Xin and Zhao Gui wanted to get rid of Yuwen Hu back then, but they were killed by Yuwen Hu, and Hou Mo Chen Chong's family had already lost their status in the power struggle, and the Western Wei Dynasty died, not to mention the Yuan family, the Northern Zhou was destroyed, and the Yuwen family was killed.

So what is left is the three Li Yiyu, but now the three Li Yiyu have also been eradicated, and the Li Hu family is still there, but the Li Hu family is far worse than the two Li Yiyu, and one Li Yuan is called an old man who can't be supported by the world.

"Actually, it's nothing, there are talented people from generation to generation, and a new generation sends old people. Although the Eight Pillars Country has declined, there is also a new gate valve rising. Look at the Yuwenshu family, in the Yuwentai era, it was just an ordinary general, but now, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and it can only be said that one was a son of heaven and one courtier. Luo Cheng still has a clear view of the so-called Eight Pillars Country and the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

The strongest time of the five surnames and seven families was in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there were only four surnames at the earliest, and there was no Li family. But at that time, the four surnames were only tied with the eight surnames of Xianbei, not that the four surnames were the strongest in the world, but later the Northern Wei Dynasty implemented sinicization, and the four surnames became more and more powerful.

But a rebellion in six towns also made the four surnames embarrassed, not to mention that after Yuwentai ran to Guanzhong to raise a new banner, let alone the four surnames in Kanto. When the soldiers of Wuchuan Town, who were married to Guan Longhaoqiang, destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty and unified the north, the four surnames had no political foundation.

Hou Jing in the Six Towns Rebellion finished the Central Plains and ran to Jiangnan, and even killed Wang Xie Gu Zhang and other Jiangnan gate valves.

It's just that the foundation of the five surnames for hundreds of years is still there, at least they still have a monopoly on academics, and they have a super economic foundation and occupy a large amount of land, so they are still very beautiful on the surface.

But no matter how beautiful it is, they have to step up their marriage and merge with the Guanlongmen valve, during this period of the Sui Dynasty, the five surnames and seven families are still relatively low-key, and they have not yet reached the state of full blood resurrection in the Tang Dynasty.

However, in the Daye Dynasty, the status of the five surnames and seven families is indeed getting higher and higher, which is because the emperor is deliberately suppressing the Guanlong nobles.

The group of Guanlong nobles is not to say that they will be killed all at once, but they are also beating one by one, attracting some up-and-comers, and knocking down some old gate valves.

So now it seems that there are few top warlords such as the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars Country back then.

But there are also upstarts such as Yu Wenshu and Luo Yi, who are beginning to take shape, and important ministers such as Lai Hu'er, Yu Shiji, and Pei Yun are also almost single-handedly supported by the emperor.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it couldn't be more appropriate.

Li Yuan's family used to be a cow, and it is comparable to the current Yuwen narrator?

The Dugu family used to be a cow, comparable to the previous Yang Su family?

Yang Su's family is good, but it can be compared to the current Luo Yi family?

In the final analysis, the royal family is the strongest gate valve in the world, and whoever is strong will threaten him, so the imperial power is born to suppress those powerful gate valves.

It doesn't matter if you are a nobleman in Guanlong, or five surnames and seven families.

It can be said that if Yang Guang does not die and passes on the throne to his son or grandson in the future, then the new emperor will come to power, no matter how beautiful the Luo family is now, it is estimated that he will become the eyes of the new emperor at that time, and he may also be suppressed.

That's the cycle.

Every emperor must suppress the powerful ministers left by the previous emperor, suppress those gate valve clans, and then support and pull up a group of upstarts by himself, which is to ensure the imperial power and ensure his own status.

"In that case, isn't our Luo family also dangerous?"

"Not yet, after all, our Luo family is not a family of the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars Country, without the accumulation of those generations, we are still nouveau riche in the eyes of many people, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about us. Because all our status and wealth today come from the emperor, which was given to us by the emperor, which is different from the Eight Pillars country, their glorious status comes from Yuwentai or the former emperor, but everything we have now comes from today. ”

"We can't oppose the emperor, because that's the source of our power, and if we change someone, the legitimacy of our status and power will be shaken. Of course, if twenty or thirty years from now, or when the next emperor comes to the next emperor, it may not be the same again, but that time is still early, isn't it? ”

Luo Yi smiled and nodded, "Yes, twenty or thirty years later, I guess it will already be in the ground." ”

Luo Cheng can be loyal to the emperor, which shows that the emperor appreciates his loyalty, so he doesn't dare to say more, as long as he doesn't do anything excessive in one or two decades, the emperor has no reason to move the chess pieces he has raised.

"When will you leave Beijing and return to Liaodong?" Luo Yi asked.

"I don't know, the emperor hasn't let me go yet." Luo Cheng didn't know what the emperor was waiting for, anyway, he and his Left Fifth Army had been stationed in the southern suburbs now, but fortunately, there was wine and meat every day, and the soldiers had no complaints. Everyone took turns to rest, and when they rested, they went to Luoyang City to walk around, and also looked at the prosperity of Luoyang, but also felt that they could boast of the capital when they went home in the future.

As for those generals, there is no opinion.

Luo Cheng got the large wealth of the Yang family, and Luo Cheng didn't swallow it alone, he took out most of the money and distributed it to the soldiers, and then distributed all the slaves and maids, kabuki and dancing girls in the Yang family's mansion, manor, and villa to the generals.

This move, although he was also impeached by the good imperial history for a few copies, but the emperor didn't say anything about him.

Anyway, now that he is popular, the emperor doesn't care about some trivial things.

Palace.

A rush was presented into the palace.

"Liu Yuanjin is called the Son of Heaven in Wu County, and he has more than 100,000 officials."

"Who is this Liu Yuanjin?"

Yang Guang asked angrily.

Yu Wenshu was also a little confused, he had never heard of such a person.

After asking for a long time, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji and others have not heard of it.

Yang Guang had no choice but to ask them to check, and after checking for a long time, they found a clue. It turned out that this Liu Yuanjin was a native of Yuhang, Jiangnan, and he was a ranger when he was young, and his family was also a powerful landlord in some industries. Before the emperor conquered Liaodong twice, he also recruited sailors in the Jiangnan area, and many people were recruited.

The emperor also levied grain and grass from Jiangnan, and many people in Jiangnan were also recruited to transport grain to Liyang.

Originally, after the Sui Dynasty suppressed the Southern Chen and unified the world, a major rebellion broke out in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was not easy to suppress it.
