Chapter 104: Xun Yu Xun Wenruo
The Eastern Han Dynasty was built on the strength of the family. Xun Yu saw this very clearly.
It's just that the family is a big family for generations, with great influence, heavy power, and a lot of wealth. Haoqiang is at the county and township level, which is a local force with little strength and few resources.
This is the basis of the whole country. Emperor Guangwu relied on the support of several great families at that time to ascend to the throne step by step, of course, this is not unrelated to Emperor Guangwu's eloquence. And the origin of the Eastern Han Dynasty has to thank one person, that is, Wang Mang, the person in power who is ready to subvert the wealthy family in one fell swoop.
The consequence of Emperor Guangwu's revival was that the country's wealth, land, population, and even private soldiers were almost in the hands of powerful families, large and small. Even local governments at all levels and a large part of the military power are in the hands of the family. Because this is the favor he owes when he ascends to the top.
However, the Maison's greatest strength lies in its heritage. It also lies in the monopoly of knowledge and culture. Moreover, because of the monopoly of knowledge and culture, the monopoly of official positions has been created.
Since the beginning of the Warring States Period, the family has been hundreds of years of accumulation, and has been in actual control of the grassroots power for a long time, coupled with the policy of support and even connivance of Emperor Guangwu, by the end of the Han Dynasty, the family has reached the point of occupying the state and the county, entering the world to dominate, and retreating to the point of self-defense.
Of course, when the emperor and the central government were still able to control the situation in the whole country, in front of the eunuchs who actually represented the emperor and the relatives who had long controlled the military and political power, the scattered and ununified family was not enough to control the entire Han Dynasty alone. The two disasters of the party were even more devastating.
But the Yellow Turban Rebellion completely shattered this situation.
The Han Dynasty, which was not strong enough and worried about the disaster of destroying the country, completely delegated all the power that could be delegated, and the family developed rapidly in the war, in addition to obtaining a large number of local official positions, the land, population, wealth obtained in the war were countless, and the most important thing is that with the step by step competition with the Yellow Turban Army, the military power also grew, and there were many private soldiers of the family guarding the manor, and now they have gained actual combat experience. With the development of strength, some powerful families gradually became ambitious.
Look at the eunuchs and relatives, although the two are incompatible, but they are dependent on the imperial power and developed and grow, the two are almost the same origin, almost all of them have obtained power and wealth with the emperor's preferences in the blink of an eye, but they don't have much literacy, and they don't even know a word, let alone any talent accumulation and family heritage. Once the dependent soil of imperial power is lost, the real power is pitifully small, and it is difficult to survive. Therefore, no matter how intertwined the two forces are, in fact, they are still relying on the family to suppress each other. In the actual operation of power, the people of the family are also contaminated with a lot of interests.
Originally, after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, after the eunuchs and relatives bit each other, they had weakened enough to be negligible, after all, the family had made great progress, and the power at this time could be said to be in full swing, plus the Xiyuan Army was available, and it almost controlled the entire power center of the Han Dynasty. At this time, the family could basically decide that the emperor was abolished.
But in reality? The rulers of the family seem to have ignored the martial arts who have been suppressed and kneaded at will.
So, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, this mighty Xiliang beast, and quickly slapped the entire Han courtiers with his powerful army.
Of course, Bingzhou Ding originally had the opportunity to fight against Dong Zhuo, so that the family could not recover the situation, but Lu Bu's withdrawal halfway made the situation in Luoyang change from a tripartite force to a single family. Of course, in history, Lu Bu did not withdraw, not only did not bring benefits to the family, but added some combat power to Dong Zhuo.
The current situation of the Han Dynasty has been eroded to the point of no return, and it has almost become Dong Zhuo's personal belongings. No matter how much the Ren family calculates, it can't match the sharp long knife in Dong Zhuo's hand.
If you want to regain the dignity of the Han family, you must raise troops from the local area and defeat Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.
But who else is there now? As soon as Liu Yan, the patriarch of the Han family, entered Xishu, he locked them up and did not ask about the world, the same generation of the emperor, the nominal uncle of His Majesty today, Liu Jingsheng, although he is not small, but it seems that he also has an intention for the throne. Liu Yu of Youzhou is a loyal elder, but because of his loyalty, he can't become a candidate for King Qin who can gather the world.
If the Quartet comes to fight Dong Zhuo, even if the Xiliang forces are destroyed, what they will get back is just a troubled era in which princes rise together.
The lord is weak, and the minister is evil......
Even talents like Xun Wenruo can't find a way to save them.
As for the words of not breaking and not standing, Xun Yu is still waiting......
Although it is reasonable not to break or stand, it is still the Liu family dynasty that can be re-established? The legacy of the first emperor?
Perhaps no one would have thought that this Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian, who was rough and unbearable in Luoyang, sang two songs in the court, and was discussed as a joke by the sons of the family, would let Xun Yu regain his dream of rectifying the country.
This person can punish the enemy who invades from the north, and he can also make books, prints, and papers, and the roots of the family.
It is impossible to say that he is the key person in recreating a strong man.
"Destroy the Yuan family, one is to avenge the general, and warm the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the north. Second, to eliminate the first evil and deter the world! In addition to the Dong family, the emperor's throne is stable! I think Your Majesty will support this as well! Xun Yu chatted a few words and decided the life and death of hundreds of people.
"Brother Wen Ruo pre-empted General Lu to death?" Before the rest of the people could open their mouths, Wang Chen was the first to object.
"The Yuan family is powerful, destroy the Yuan family, the counterattack of the Yuan family's protégé and former officials cannot be underestimated, if the whole world is talking about the general's tyranny and killing, and go all out to attack, then the general is in danger! After all, a few families almost turned the state into territory completely! Wang Chen hadn't recovered from the siege of the 400,000-strong army, and he was still a little afraid in his heart. After all, as the helmsman of the family, he knows the invisible power of the family very well.
"With this, General Lu is no longer afraid that the family will be the same spearhead!" Xun Yu was a little embarrassed and took out a thin book, after all, the Xun family also participated in the siege of Bingzhou. Since Lu Bu repelled the enemy of the annexed states, the momentum has been great, and no one will dare to besiege again. After all, the family is very profitable, as long as Lu Bu takes out this book, there will be countless people who will turn against him. This is also the reason why several major families borrowed the power of the White Wave Thieves, Xianbei, and Xiongnu to attack and merge the state even if they were charged with treason. It's not that there is no other way, but I am afraid that someone will collaborate with the enemy!
"There is also Dong Zhuo, I don't know if Wen Ruo forgot it, or didn't want to mention it?" Jia Xu's voice rang out at the right time.
"Dong Zhuo's strength is so strong, presumably Wen Ruo should know that he is not his opponent at the moment!" Jia Xu's eyes were fixed on Xun Yu, as if he was studying something.
