Chapter 757: Those Dynasties That Don't Lose Their Tails

Luoyang City is preparing for the enthronement ceremony of the crown prince Liu Wei, and the officials of the imperial court are moving, and every day you can see carriages full of necessary items driving from the city to the direction of the palace. This kind of busyness allowed Luoyang City to dispel the panic caused by the change at the beginning, and made Luoyang City return to its former appearance.

No one has ever felt a moment of sadness about the death of Emperor Han Ling, whether it is the common people or the princes and ministers, if there is, it is just a pretense in front of others. Even Empress He can't have that little bit of sadness, at most it's just a memory, recalling the youth of the past, and only then will she bring a little memory that belongs to Emperor Han Ling, let alone others.

There have always been two classes in the imperial court, the non-commissioned officer class represented by officials, and the eunuch class represented by the ten permanent servants. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he favored the ten permanent servants and borrowed the ten permanent servants to overwhelm the forces represented by the officials.

Now that both Emperor Ling of Han and the Ten Standing Servants are dead, those officials have already restrained themselves well if they don't play the crown, which means that the power they could have in the past has returned to their arms again.

Yun Ting is still in the mansion that belongs to him, and his life has been very quiet since these days, and he is a little too calm, so he will think about so many things that have nothing to do with the overall situation.

For example, the root of the weakness of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In fact, it is not anything else, it is that Liu Xiu, the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, actually raised an army with the help of the family gate lords, and finally won the world. Even after he became the emperor, the family gate valve has become a big trend, whether Liu Xiu wants it or not, the family gate valve is there and has become the cornerstone of the Eastern Han Dynasty. If he wanted to do something, it would be tantamount to removing the current cornerstone, and returning everything to the original state of chaos.

Liu Xiu is not Wang Mang, Wang Mang's new dynasty was very positive at the beginning, and it was made possible by the last emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and with the help of many ministers and officials, including the family gatekeeper, he was able to successfully establish a new dynasty. At that time, almost everyone was working hard to establish a new dynasty, but Wang Mang's steps were too fast and he hit the egg, so that in the end, those family lords who trusted him and bet on him had to oppose Wang Mang for their own interests.

Only then will the new dynasty be overthrown and the result of Liu Xiu's successful rebellion will appear, otherwise if Wang Mang can successfully achieve everything he has, there will really be nothing in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the next history.

When Yun Ting has nothing to do, he will also go to the forum to read the chapters submitted by many courtiers and review them. In a game forum like this, the netizens and players on it are almost like emperors, browsing a large number of pieces every day, or commenting, or having read them, in short, you can become the person you want to be on the forum.

I have to admit that some people on the forum are really talents, and even such an ancient history has been turned out, which let Yun Ting know about the history of the New Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. As for how to confirm the authenticity? It's actually very simple, just ask the supercomputer.

Paper documents can rot and data stored on a computer can get corrupted, but a supercomputer never loses anything.

After getting the accurate answer from the supercomputer and confirming the authenticity, Yun Ting couldn't help but be amazed by the history of the empire. In that era, there were people who were doing things that were thousands of years ahead of their time, and although they failed, they did it.

At that time, many things of the new dynasty were things that the empire had successfully done later, and some people had already tried them, not to mention that it was implemented by the ruling class at that time, including the people at the bottom, which was simply incredible.

What were the countries that made up the federation doing in those days? It is estimated that they are still playing with mud, and some are simply in chief mode, slave mode, and are fighting around for a woman. In the far East, there are already people who are beginning to change the world and change the original system.

Please note that there are many smears against Wang Mang in later generations, but Yunting feels that Wang Mang is indeed a good person, but he is a little more idealistic. It is estimated that there were many idealistic people at that time, so many people supported Wang Mang's reform, and wanted to change from a family to a world.

Their failure is a limitation of history and an inevitability. However, you can't deny that those who can change the times are idealists, and they dare to give their lives and even everything for their ideals, just for the realization of an ideal.

Take a look at the dynasties behind the empire, what kind of restoration has become? In the end, even many Erwuzai appeared, forgetting the glory of being a Han and becoming lackeys of different races.

If it was in the Western Han Dynasty, this kind of person would be scared to death. Otherwise, why would the strong Huns be caught on the ground and beaten? It is precisely because many emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, including those ministers and scholars, are the kind of character who will come to scold if they are not satisfied.

Want to make them submit to the alien race? No way, the pride of the Zhuxia nation will never succumb to a group of aliens who have not even been educated by etiquette and music.

As for the current situation in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yun Ting would have thought that Liu Hong, Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was really not a good emperor, and indeed he was not a good emperor. But the emperor still has the wrist, so when he was in power, he vigorously supported the ten permanent servants, and used the ten permanent servants as knives to attack the official class, and even suppressed the official class for so many years.

In later dynasties, the rise of all eunuchs was actually related to the power of the official class, and they were even able to influence the emperor and make some of the emperor's decrees inaccessible. Let me ask, if someone wants to commit suicide by hitting a pillar on the Jinluan Palace all day long, and blood is splashed in seven steps, do you think it will be bad to be the emperor?

You TM seven steps of blood splashing at every turn, are you saying that I am a faint king, or am I a faint king? In the end, fame and everything went to those who didn't die in seven steps without blood splashing at every turn, but all the sins belonged to the emperor.

Do you say the emperor is angry? He really wants to let these fame and reputation seekers die, but when they die, they are also fulfilling them! On the contrary, if it is oneself, it will be beaten into a faint king by those people who know nothing, saying that they are deceived by evil spirits.

There will be so many emperors later, you want to be treacherous, right, think my emperor doesn't dare to do it, right? Well, I let others do it, let the real treacherous do it, so the emperor's retainer, this eunuch loyal to the emperor, appeared and became a knife in his hand.

No matter how powerful the eunuch is, all the power comes from the emperor. Because of the eunuchs, they are not keen on fame, nor do they have a good reputation, they just want some wealth and power.

It's not like some courtiers and officials, who keep saying that the national interests are the most important, but in fact, there are men and women who steal and prostitute behind their backs, and they don't know how much national interests they have betrayed. Everything you do is also for the sake of perfecting yourself.

Yun Ting will find some interesting things in the history of the later years of the imperial era, among the emperors of a certain dynasty when the eunuchs are in power, the speed of government decrees is much higher than that of those who are not in power without eunuchs. Although they will say that the people are not living and so on, in fact, the real people's livelihood is often found in the families and forces of officials.

The eunuch doesn't have many relatives, and if there are only a few, the impact is very low, and after his death, the wealth he has looted can be collected by the emperor into the kingdom again? Officials are different, families are huge, and they will become moths that inhabit the state, and the more they eat, the more they eat.

For example, Chongzhen in the last years of the Ming Dynasty in the history of the empire, the most wrong thing he did was to believe in these official classes and did not train effective eunuchs. If only one peeler had done it at that time, it would have been enough to scrape a huge fortune on these moths and use it for military expenses.

As long as there is money, why can't Li Zicheng die? As long as there is money, the conscripted army can send the Jurchens back to their hometown.

The reason why many emperors use corrupt officials is also for the same reason, at least he is honest and greedy, and he still does practical things. But there are some clean officials with two sleeves and a clean breeze, but they have no ability at all. Or the two sleeves that show a clean breeze, but they simply go behind their backs and don't know how much wealth they have looted.

Ordinary people will only see extremely superficial things, and will only say that someone is an honest official, and they can't think of going deeper at all. A real official should be the one who can create wealth and do practical things for the people, and it should not be the kind that only has a reputation for being honest but does nothing.

Cao Cao is amazing, right? Amazing, no matter how powerful, in history, Emperor Han Xian has been around those old ministers who followed Emperor Han in the Xiliang Rebellion, and it was because of Cao Cao's timely arrival that they were able to survive.

However, in the end, Cao Cao suffered many assassinations and rebelled. Say these people are for the Han family? Actually, they are just doing it for their own benefit. If it was for the Han family, as early as when Dong Zhuoquan was in favor of the government and the opposition, they should have kept doing it until Dong Zhuo was killed.

But obviously not, probably because Cao Cao looked a little gentler and easier to attack than Dong Zhuolai, so there were so many incidents later. As a result, they guessed completely wrong, Cao Cao is not the kind of honest person who will not fight back, let alone foolishness.

There is no honest person in this world, even if he is like Liu Bei, in Cao Cao's position, he will make the same choice. If they are replaced with more ruthless ones, they will strike first and eliminate them at once when they haven't done it yet.
