Two hundred and nine back to the family

The two Jin Dynasty established the country by relying on the support of a huge family to steal the throne of the Cao family, and the power of the court and the central government was divided up by these big families, and the so-called official eunuchs had mixed talents, and most of the truly talented people could not be promoted, and it was the great family that held the authority. Even in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a situation of "king and horse, sharing the world". It is these scholars who sit big, luxurious, and even erode the whole society, standing in a high position, can wantonly trample on everything of the people at the bottom, even their lives, the famous Wang Kai, Shi Chongdoufu, Wang Rong Manor is all over the world, there is a lot of money and rust, it is a variety of representatives.

Most of the interests of the country are monopolized by these clans (the two Jin Dynasty are called scholars), and the so-called upper grade has no cold scholar and lower grade has no high mansion. The real government is controlled by most of the ignorant and incompetent people, and the chaos brought about by the Wuhu Chaos for hundreds of years is not only the legacy of the loss of the people in the Three Kingdoms War, but also the root cause, but also the fact that the scholars sit big and enjoy the squandering and waste of national resources almost to the point of outrageousness. And as the authority of the Wei State is gradually grasped by the family, a large number of poor talents will be lost, buried and hidden, and the state machinery will become more and more decayed if it does not get real and powerful fresh blood. You must know that at the beginning of the Wei State, with the power of one country, it was not only the suppression of Wu Shu, but also how dare the Hu people in northern Xinjiang go south to herd horses! The sharp decline in the population of the Central Plains caused by the war may be the direct cause of the Wuhu Rebellion, but the fundamental reason has always been the growth of the scholars and the corruption of the government.

Talented people can't be used by the two Jin Dynasty, and even Daxian like Wang Meng and others would rather defect to the Hu people in the north than go south to the Eastern Jin Dynasty as officials, which is not so much a sadness as losing the hearts of the people. For example, Zu Di's Northern Expedition also gave up a good opportunity because of the struggle for power between the family and the royal family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The largest local family in Jiangdong is the surname Wu Si, looking at Jiangdong, only these four families can be regarded as real wealthy families, which can be compared with the big families of the Central Plains and Hebei. Especially the Lu family and the Gu family, at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Hong of Wu County served as Shang Shuling. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his great-great-grandson Lu Kang served as the Taishou of Lujiang and other counties, and the Lu clan was an official, with footprints all over Jiangdong; The business dealers, covering the entire Han Dynasty, are the head of the hidden families in Wu County, and they are full of prestige.

And the Lu family also came out one by one to change the fate of Shu and Wu, and it was also the person who made the "Hun Tian Tu" of the ancient celebrities, the person who changed the fate of Wu and Shu was Lu Xun, and the one who made the Hun Tian Tu was Lu Ji. In 196 AD, in order to prepare for the attack on Xuzhou, Yuan Shu went to Lujiang Lukang to borrow grain, and sent Sun Ce to attack in anger. In desperation, Lu Kang ordered his youngest son Lu Ji to return to Wu County with his nephew Lu Xun, who was slightly older than Lu Ji, and moved to Huating Valley in Haiyan. In the first year of Huangwu (222), Lu Xun broke Liu Bei and burned the camp for 700 miles, which became the turning point of Shuzhong from prosperity to decline. And after Lu Xun, the Lu family is even more soaring, although it has been suppressed, it has not declined. After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and Lu Xun's son Lu Kangguan has become the Great Sima and Jingzhou Mu. His cousin Lu Jiguan to Yulin Taishou. The younger brother Lu Mao and Mao Zilun were both officials to choose Cao Shangshu. The nephew Lu Kai, the late Wu led the Jingzhou pastor, the marquis of Jiaxing, and the official to the left prime minister. Lu Kai's younger brother Lu Yun once served as the assassin of Jiaozhou and was the Marquis of Tingdu. Kaizi Lu Yi once served as a partial general and was the Marquis of Haiyan. Lu Yun's son, Lu Shiren, General Yangwu, and so on.

The Gu family is the seventh generation of the Yue King Goujian's grandson for the Min monarch, and was divided into Dongou in the Han Dynasty. The son of Shao was named Gu Yuhou and lived in Jiangdong. After hundreds of years, the family has become stronger, especially in Gu Yong's generation, the third prime minister of Wu State, Sun Quan also married Sun Ce's other daughter to Gu Yong's son Gu Shao. Shao Guan Yuzhang is too guarded. Shao Zitan, after the death of his grandfather Gu Yong, was still a scholar on behalf of Yongping. Gu Tanzi and Gu directly worshiped General Fenwei. Gu Yong's second son, Gu Yu, is too guarded by officials. Yuzi Gu Rong, and Lu Ji and Lu Yun are "three jun". Zhapu is Gu Yi in ancient times, and it is said that Gu Rong lives. Gu Rong was named Jiaxing Bo in the Jin Dynasty, and during the Eight Kings Rebellion, he indulged in wine and disguised himself to protect himself and returned Wu. Sima Rui (Emperor Yuan of the Jin Dynasty) Zhen Jiankang, the evil king of Lang, was appointed as a military secretary, and he was the leader of the Jiangnan Shi clan who supported Sima Rui to establish the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Compared with the Zhu family, although it is a local wealthy family, it really rose in the time of Sun Quan. Zhu Huan broke Cao Ren's military exploits and was named the Marquis of Jiaxing. Worship the former general, lead the Qingzhou pastor. Zhu Huan's son, Zhu Yi, led the troops on behalf of Huan, repeatedly broke Wei Gong, and became a lieutenant. Zhu Yi followed his father Zhu Yi and was a hussar general. In this life, although Zhu Zhi entered the Zhu family of Wu County and became the head of the family, with generals like Zhu Zhi and Zhu Ran joining, the Zhu family has also completely become a general, and with the leading system, the Zhu family has mastered more than 30,000 troops.

The Zhang family is a pure literati family, its ancestor is a generation of sage Zhang Liang, Wu County (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu) Zhang's family, from Zhang Song's fourth son, the Eastern Han Dynasty was the Taishou of Shu County, and lived in Wu County. Due to Zhang Liang's relationship, the children of the Zhang family do not like to be a teacher, and the Zhang family in Hanzhong is famous for being a Taoist priest. In Zhang Yun's generation, he became a hermit, and he didn't go out of the mountain until Qiao Ren got rid of him as a long history, and his son Zhang Wen was even more miserable in history. After Zhang Wen returned from his envoy to Shu, Sun Quan Yin called the government of Shu Mei, and he thought that it was famous, and he was afraid that he would not use it for his own use, so he thought about slandering it. Wu Guodan's selection of Cao Shangshu and Yan was upright and conceited, unwilling to follow the ups and downs of customs, like to discuss and evaluate characters, and tried to reform the various vices of selecting talents at that time without distinguishing between virtuous and foolish, favoritism, and turbidity, but unfortunately he was suppressed and framed by the great families of Wu County, and finally went to prison to death. Because Ji Yan was recommended by Zhang Wen, the case became an excuse for Sun Quan to accuse Zhang Wen, and he was dismissed from office and finally ended up depressed.

Jiangbei is Huaisi Group, and there are also Lujiang (Liang Guo) Qiao family, Lujiang Zhou family, Pengcheng Zhang family, Langya Zhuge family, Linhuai Lu family, etc., but in addition to the Qiao family and the Zhou family, which are big wealthy families, the rest of the small families for a long time, or even more are poor. LΓΌ Meng, LΓΌ Fan, Huang, Jiang, Zhou, Chen, Dong, Gan, Ling, Pan, Ding, etc. are basically poor.

Qiao's family is Qiao Ren's family, and its sixth ancestor Qiao Ren (Khan a first) became an emperor when he was an official to Dahonglu, and wrote 49 chapters of "Rites and Chapters", called "Qiaojun Xue". Qiao Ren's great-great-grandfather Qiao Ji was the Taishou of Guangling, and his great-grandfather Qiao Su was the Taishou of Donglai. Grandfather Qiao Xuan treated the third prince all over the place, and finally died in the post of Tai Lieutenant, and his father Qiao Yu was also appointed as the city minister. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was also regarded as a secretary of affairs, and he was a high-ranking official who was more than 2,000.

And the Zhou family is even more powerful, three of the four generations have achieved the position of Tai Lieutenant, which is only a millimeter worse than the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family and the Yang family.

So when Qiao Ren was pulled by Sun Ce to discuss the family, Qiao Ren was really embarrassed. Although the Huaisi Group he represents is basically based on small families and poor families, and there is no appeal of the big family, but he is also one of the big families, so openly discussing the weakening of the family, Qiao Ren can't do it!

Later generations were influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and had no good impression of Cao Wei and the Western Jin Dynasty, but those who are familiar with history know that Shu Han was completely a stubborn remnant of the Han dynasty, and Eastern Wu was a separatist regime. In fact, the central institutions of Cao Wei and even the two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties were not only three provinces, but five provinces, but the secretary province and the internal service province did not have much power, so they were ignored, and the three provinces of Zhongshang Book Province began in the Han Dynasty and Wu to the end of the Han Dynasty when Cao Cao was the prime minister, and became a strict foreign court institution, Menxia Province began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Zhongshu Province was created by Cao Pi at this time.

In addition, Cao Wei's tuntian system is also a profound influence on the future Western Jin Dynasty's land occupation system, the Northern Wei Dynasty and even the Tang Dynasty's Juntian system.

"Ziyan, you speak!! I want to implement the nine-product Zhongzheng system, what do you think! Sun Ce saw that Qiao Ren refused to speak for a long time, so he asked out loud.

Shocked, Qiao Ren finally sobered up from his contemplation and said, "Absolutely not, brother-in-law." The nine-grade system must not be promulgated at this time, a division is unknown, and now it is still nominally the world of the Han family, if the system of appointing officials is deleted, it may be criticized. Second, the nine-grade system collects the power of the officials to appoint their own subordinates, and also deprives the family of the power to control filial piety, which may be jealous of the family and even opposed. Now is a world of great controversy, and we still need the full support of the family. ”

Qiao Ren paused for a moment to see that Sun Ce's face had not changed, and then continued: "Cao Cao suppressed the family for more than ten years, and appointed a large number of Hanmen Shu clans to enrich the court. But even so, it is because the Central Plains has been war-torn for a long time, and there is not one in ten families; The Central Plains is academically developed, first there are Yingchuan four long open to learn itching, and then Zheng Xuan does not hesitate to teach apprentices, so the Central Plains is a place where the scholars of the poor family have many good materials and beautiful jade. But even so, the Hebei region under the leadership of Cao Gong was still in the hands of the family, so after the official crossing, Cao Gong sat in Yecheng for a long time and subdued the Hebei family. ”

Qiao Ren paused again, this time because he was a little thirsty because he talked too much, Sun Ce also handed over a cup of tea when he saw this, Qiao Ren drank a cup and continued: "The last point is very important, the system of nine products is still flawed, although Ren has set up a method of investigation, but there is no unified standard, and over time I am afraid that it will become a tool for the family to control authority." ”

It's not that Qiao Ren hasn't thought about the imperial examination, but if he thinks about it, he can forget it. The reason why the family is a family is because they grasp the academic and family learning. If there is no good opportunity, where can you learn something. Especially in scriptures, such as Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan and other contemporary people give lectures, it is a crowd of people, and Zheng Xuanzhi's name does not even dare to violate the yellow scarf.

It was Sun Ce who opened the school, but how can he teach good students without a good teacher, at most he can read and break sentences. Books are printed in large quantities, and those families are not idiots, will they take out their heirlooms? Although the ordinary Six Classics and ordinary cold families also have them, but later generations are still divided into textbooks, one or two, and the famous commentaries, especially the scriptures annotated by the famous masters of the Eastern Han Dynasty, are the aspirations of the scholars at that time. Therefore, the so-called imperial examination is not something that can be done at one moment, and Qiao Ren also does not like the imperial examination, the imperial examination needs more standardized classics, which is not conducive to the development of many aspects of thought, scholars are studying for the examination, and there will be a few people willing to involve these so-called miscellaneous studies in ancient times. Moreover, along with the imperial examination, there is a slow promotion system, and the examination and official qualifications are boiled, and the hot-blooded young people of the past have become old officials.

More importantly, it is difficult for many talented people to be quickly promoted to the most suitable position, and when the elimination system was not completely abolished before the Song Dynasty, Zhang Zhizhi recommended by Di Renjie was almost a step to achieve Zaifu, and a local official jumped several levels to get his use. For example, Sang Hongyang in the Han Dynasty served as a servant at the age of thirteen, and then became a high-ranking official such as Da Nongcheng, and then assisted Emperor Wu in managing finances for a long time. If it is placed in the Song Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will not work, as the son of a businessman, I am afraid that he will not even be able to participate in the imperial examination, and even if he can survive the imperial examination, I am afraid that it has been more than ten or twenty years. Throughout history, after the Song Dynasty, there were several young high-ranking officials, and the court was actually gloomy. There has never been a nineteen-year-old general (Huo Quzhi), a twelve-year-old Shangqing (Ganluo), and a twenty-six-year-old chief of staff (Guo Jia). In Qiao Ren's private opinion, it is reasonable to match the old and the young.

"So what do you say!?" Qiao Ren said it simply, with Sun Ce's political mind, he could understand its drawbacks almost instantly, being hindered by the family or secondary, being controlled by the family was the haze in Sun Ce's heart.

"This!" Qiao Ren didn't expect it, so he could only say: "Brother-in-law, be a slow figure." Well, the younger brother remembered that Da Sima said that he could constantly support the poor family to replace the existing family, just like a bend in the lake, if it does not flow, it will rot, and the flowing water will not be like this. The good talents in the poor family replace the decaying family, and the family can be suppressed for the time being. After the younger brother carefully studied the nine-grade system and improved it to the greatest extent, he immediately dedicated it to his brother-in-law. And Cao Gong is getting older, if he goes, it will be the time when the world is turned upside down. ”

"Hmmm! Cao Pi, Wei State. Sun Ce didn't know what he was talking to, and smiled happily after half a sound. Okay, that's the only way, Ziyan went to the backyard to meet your sister, you are a young master, you can't just receive the money and not do anything! ”

Qiao Ren had no choice but to laugh, it seemed that he had been back in Jianye for almost four months, and now it was almost twenty-two years since Jian'an, and he had not taught Sun Shao a lesson. Sun Shao will turn seventeen years old this year, I'm afraid Da Qiao will also have to find a good match for him, and Sun Ce asked Qiao Ren to see Da Qiao because of this.
