Today's chapter,Because there is no inspiration.,I'm not reluctant to update.。
-----------
Resetting the time back to two weeks ago, after Gu Cang explained all the things after his death, arranged everything, and left the capital in a low-key manner, the imperial court began to rectify the rebellion in Jiangzhou, Haizhou, and Yongzhou according to the orders he left.
The so-called rebellion of the family, in fact, the root has long been buried, the power and influence of the family in various places are too huge, and even often the family law is above the national law, the imperial power is nothing, and it is considered to be the backbone of the country, or the whole human race, and undertakes the important mission of inheriting civilization, so it enjoys the privileges with peace of mind, respects family learning, and is self-contained, but everything that involves its own interests must be vigorously opposed, and the court is forced to force the court, and will never let a penny of profit be given to the common people.
And the introduction is just a decree of the imperial court, or Gu Cang's idea of carrying out land reform step by step and returning the land to the people, and in the history of the human race, all the countries that want to touch the fundamental interests of the family will either be everywhere and be torn apart, or they will be forced to give up and hand over the reformers to appease the anger of the family tycoons, but Gu Cang did not, and all the national policies he proposed were being meticulously implemented, so this completely angered the three families who were touched by the fundamental interests, so the turmoil in the three places will be in full swing, and there is no tendency to stop at all, because as long as Da Liang does not give in for a day, or Da Liang does not die for a dayThis fire will not be extinguished for a day.
This is the disease that the whole human race has slowly accumulated on the road of continuous development, deep-rooted, deep into the bone marrow, not simply because of the old man of the previous dynasty, or Wu Heng's fanning the flames behind the scenes, it is all false, and its real contradiction is completely derived from the difference in class among the court, the family, and the people.
And the families of the three places actually don't have much to do, as long as they can drag the soldiers and horses stationed in the three places, Da Liang is already helpless against the Wei Jin coalition army, otherwise the imperial court will not be so dependent on Youzhou, even until now, they are still trying to maintain the surface peace, constantly asking, and even imploring Xu Jintang to send troops to help Yanzhou.
Don't look at the fact that things are so big now, it seems that it is completely impossible to end, but the solution is very simple, this is also the source of confidence that Gu Cang has never really panicked, he only provided a strategy, first let the imperial court issue a notice, inform the people everywhere, and then clearly enter it into the legal code, so that it is protected and powerful by the imperial court, this decree is that the concubines of each family, even illegitimate children, can also divide the family wealth equally like the concubines, as soon as this decree came out, the entire three families were silent.
Think about it, in the original family children, no, it should be said that in any family, the concubines born of concubines have always had no status, not to mention the illegitimate children who are completely unsightly and not recognized at all, this is actually the same as the situation of the royal family, and the royal family is just a larger family.
Gu Cang's poisonous plan is to clearly split the major families, just imagine, a big family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, has a profound heritage, and has produced many talents, such as the He family in Jiangzhou, when their whole family gathers together, unites as one, and does not hesitate to break the net, it can still make the court jealous of three points, dare not move them easily, and even take the initiative to compromise and appease, but if the head of the family has a child, he will have to divide part of the family business, and the whole family will suddenly become a plate of loose sand that is inseparable by relying on blood relations, and it may still be able to stand together at the beginning, after all, the feelings are still there, but if the family is separated from generation to generation, can they still become a threat to the imperial court?
Besides, the backbone of each family is not only the son-in-law who enjoys the best resources, but even the son-in-law who can't keep it is a mediocre waste, a natural fool is possible, who can predict this kind of thing, then many times, the concubine, or the side members of the family, is the one who really works hard for the whole family outside, and contributes, once they rebel, who will rely on to fight against the court?
-----------
As the most thorough rebellion in Yongzhou, because of the destruction of the country in the previous dynasty, it has begun to plan, resulting in most of the Yongzhou army has now rebelled, and from the state city of the core of a state, to the county seat, and then to the county seat, either has been occupied by the rebellious family army, or it has been divided, heavily surrounded, and cannot enter and exit, depending on the situation is indeed precarious, but after this order came out, the rebellion that was still in full swing was almost immediately dumb.
Let's not talk about what these concubines think themselves, the heads of various families can rest assured that they can control the military power and work hard for the family outside, what people are most afraid of is that they are suspicious first.
On the territory of Yongzhou, a place is closer to the county seat of Liangzhou in terms of location, a full 4,000 soldiers and horses, camped and waiting, and they have been in a stalemate with the people who are holding inside for three whole days, according to the plan, originally to launch a general attack tomorrow, vowing to break the city in one fell swoop.
The leader of these 4,000 soldiers and horses, that is, the so-called commander, was born in the big family of Yongzhou, the Si family, they are also the remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and they have been lurking in Yongzhou in a low-key manner all these years.
Si Huaide is already in his prime, but he comes from a side line, and his own ability is not particularly conspicuous in the younger generation of the Si family, otherwise he would not be able to lead only 4,000 people, and he would not have been sent to attack this relatively remote county, but he is not the worst mixed group, otherwise he would not be able to lead an army of 4,000 people.
And the paper decree issued by the imperial court, and the letter from the old lady of their Si family, almost reached his hands before and after.
As the head of the Si family, it is just that his old man's orders are passed so quickly, after all, Da Liang has always paid attention to this aspect, so over the years, the post station has been built in all directions, even in Yongzhou, where many lofty mountains and mountains are very difficult to repair roads, the speed of transmitting information is still very fast, and the first thing they did after the Yongzhou incident was to immediately occupy the post stations in various places, knock out the eyes of the imperial court, and cut off the possibility of communication between these surrounded cities, but in this case, how can the imperial court accurately transmit this decree to his hands?
Si Huaide sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the two completely different documents in his left and right hands, and kept turning his head, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The letter sent by the imperial court, the content is simple, not long, just explained to him in great detail the new decree, the concubine and the concubine have the same status, and they can also divide the family wealth equally in the future, although this is a sudden challenge to the etiquette rules of the eldest and youngest concubines of the human race for thousands of years, but don't forget, the concubine himself is also a human being, and he also has his own ideas, who will not take the benefits?
On the contrary, it was the letter sent by the old lady, the sincerity of the words and the concern on it, all of which overflowed the page, almost made him feel a kind of family warmth that he had never felt, but at the end of this letter, he was going to call him back.
Obviously, the old lady of the Si family was also afraid, he couldn't sit still, it was not a matter of doubt, but he had to recall the clansmen from all over the country as soon as possible, convene the conference again, and eliminate the impact of this paper decree of the imperial court.
"Brother Wu, what do you think?"
Instead of making a decision immediately, he instead handed the two letters he had in hand to a middle-aged man of his age, dressed in a plain shirt, standing next to him.
This person is his subordinate disciple Qing Confession, and he can be regarded as a military advisor and strategist who advises him, this time he wants to attack the county seat, so he naturally came here with him, and originally thought that this would be an opportunity to show his ambitions, and then the south may start a decades-long turbulent era, but he didn't expect this to happen so soon.
The man stretched out his hand to take the two letters, slowly unfolded them, and after looking at them carefully for a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed sincerely: "There are masters in the court who have made a move, and I can't do it!"
He is a smart man, this time he can see clearly, the court is not just to suppress this turmoil, but to completely split the families in various places, after a few generations, in addition to the same surname, it is difficult for the bloodline to connect them again, when the time comes, can they still be called a family, if there is no solution, then any family, will be rich for no more than three generations, because as long as the progress is not enough, then after the continuous separation, it will inevitably lead to the family fall.
This is a naked conspiracy, and it takes advantage of the fundamental weakness of human nature, which is selfishness.
Are you willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of your family?
There will be people who do that, there must be, especially a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years like this, with strict internal rules and strict order, and the clansmen are within this system, and while enjoying the benefits, they will naturally equate the interests of the family with their own interests, and turn the glory of the family into their own glory, the family is in trouble, of course they are willing to sacrifice and give up themselves, and there are even many such people, but what about from today onwards?
Where in the world are there so many fools who are willing to give, after all, there will be more people who plan for themselves, even those who are neutral and wavering, aren't they worried that others will get benefits, and they better not get benefits?
Instead of desperately earning a thousand taels for the family, and finally only getting a verbal encouragement, or a little improvement in the family's status, then why not sell the interests of the family and earn a hundred taels for yourself to squander?
In fact, in many cases, even the negotiations between countries, the kind of big deal that affects millions of people and can easily cost tens of millions of taels, there are people who will let the country suffer losses in vain for the benefit of a few thousand taels, not to mention these people, how can they withstand the temptation, or why do they need to withstand the temptation?
People are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, why is this sentence widely spread, because most people are selfish!
These people are all members of the family, and they naturally understand how rich the family is, how much they can get if they are tired and tired, maybe the eldest son can't get used to them, and drives them out directly, and they can't get a penny, but now according to the rules of the court, they don't need to spend a penny, they can share a large part of the property, how can they not support the court?
"What's the use of going back, even if Brother Huaide is willing to go back, will others be willing? Could it be that Brother Huaide wants to become a knife for the Si family, used to clean the portal?"
Si Huaide turned his head to look at him, his face was extremely gloomy, but after three breaths, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yes, yes, why bother to go back to suffer that bird's anger, and ask Brother Wu to go to the county seat to negotiate on my behalf, I am willing to take refuge in the imperial court and keep this place safe!"
His smile is actually bitter, because as a member of the family, he knows that the glory of the family will be a thing of the past forever from today, and he understands that this is actually an unstoppable trend, and they are just a participant and witness in the change of the times, and this situation is also staged in various places in the three places.
