Zhang Jiashi himself agrees with one sentence, that is, the history books record what Chen Sheng said: "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?"

In Chinese history, thousand-year-old families actually existed, but there is no doubt that these families did not have the foundation of the family at the beginning, but were promoted and consolidated by the hard work of generations. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo?? Net?

For more Maisons, their paths are similar, but the timing of their rise has changed due to many factors.

Zhang Jiashi himself knows very well that the existence of a family is strictly inevitable, because many times, the formation of a family is often the most intuitive embodiment of a social system. Fundamentally, if the private system has always existed, then it is easy for families to get more resources to help them, as long as it is not because of some factors.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of Zhang Jiashi's own experience after the crossing, it can also be said to be an example of this.

And Zhang Jiashi himself knows one thing very well, that is, even if he can avoid his generation or his descendants as much as possible from becoming a family that affects the Yingxun lineage, what he can't avoid is similar to the family evolution of Chen Pingren after his death.

Because Chen Ping actually has the premise of rising as a family.

And what Zhang Jiashi needs to avoid is the emergence of a royal family similar to the Han Dynasty, which successfully replaced the Western Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty.

In fact, this kind of family can also be said to be a behemoth in history, because the model of this family is that the powerful minister plus the relatives.

......

In history, the Huo family is also one of this models. If it weren't for Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's success in eliminating the time bomb of the Huo family after Huo Guang's death, I am afraid that the Western Han Dynasty might be replaced by the Huo family.

And this situation is something that many capable monarchs have avoided as much as possible in historical dynasties.

For example, the queen of the Ming Dynasty was basically a poor family who was not from a family.

It's just that there is also a special example, that is, Zhu Di's Empress Xu is the daughter of Xu Da, the ancestor of the Wei public system, a prominent family in the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Da's lineage can be said to be a wang clan system throughout the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of Jianwen, the prince and the prince were added. Prince Yan Gao Xu, Hui Zu nephew. The king will raise troops, and Gao Xufang will stay in Beijing, steal his good horse and flee. Huizu was shocked and sent people to chase him, but he didn't have time, but he heard it and saw his cronies. After a long time, he ordered the commander to aid Shandong and defeated the Yan soldiers in Qimei Mountain. Yan people are afraid. Russia was edicted back, and the generals were lonely, so they were defeated one after another. and Yan soldiers crossed the river, and Huizu still led troops to fight. Chengzu entered the Beijing Division, and Huizu guarded his father's ancestral hall alone. So the subordinate ordered him to confess the crime, but he wrote his father's founding honor and the coupon to avoid death. Chengzu was furious and cut off his private affairs. Yongle died in the fifth year. Wanli Zhonglu Jianwen loyal ministers, the temple worships the southern capital, and the ancestral residence of Hui. Later, he posthumously presented the Taishi and was loyal.

At the beginning of Tianshun, he garrisoned Nanjing, and concurrently led the Chinese military government, and he was honest and compassionate and virtuous. Geng Yin died in December of the seventh year of Tianshun.

Xu Li, Xu Chengzong's son Gongfu, a native of Fengyang, and the fifth grandson of Xu Da. In the first year of Chenghua (1465), he became a knight. In the fifteenth year of Chenghua, he was enshrined in the year of filial piety and was in charge of the governor's office of the left army in Nanjing. In the ninth year of Hongzhi (1496), he was in charge of the military capital and garrisoned Nanjing. Hongzhi resigned in the thirteenth year and was allowed to add the crown prince. In the sixth year of Zhengde (1511), he was still ordered to garrison Nanjing. Xu Li has been an official for decades, the most filial piety, and is honest and prudent. For the powerful, they are strict and strict, and many of them are suppressed, and those who see them are not afraid. On July 12, the twelfth year of Zhengde, he died of illness. Year sixty-eight.

It is also said that the Duke of Wei who surrendered in Nanjing was called Xu Jiujue. In the "Records of Qing Shizu", he is Xuzhou Jue. These three names are either the same person or three brothers, the details of which are unknown.

......

And the existence of Empress Xu can be said to be one of the biggest reasons why the line of Wei Guogong was able to become a family of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty again after the Jingyan Change.

Chengzu Renxiao Empress Xu is the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. She is gifted and intelligent, chaste and demure when she was young, likes to read, and can be called a Confucian student among women, known as "female students". Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the Xu family was virtuous, so he summoned Xu Da and said: "I and you are friends of cloth, and since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have joined each other, and they have generally become in-laws. You have such a good daughter, I want to match my son Zhu Di with her. Xu Da immediately kowtowed and thanked him.

In the ninth year of Hongwu (1376), Xu was canonized as the princess of Yan, and Xu treated people and things considerately and prudently, and was deeply loved by Ming Taizu and Queen Ma. Xu followed Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to the domain to mourn Empress Xiaoci Gao for three years, and she followed the etiquette of vegetarian light rice. The parts of Empress Gao's last words that can be recited, Xu can list them one by one.

After the Jingnan soldiers rose, Zhu Di led the army to attack Daning, and Li Jinglong took the opportunity to enter the siege of Beiping. At that time, Zhu Gaochi stayed in Beiping as the prince, and most of the deployment of defense was ordered by the Xu family. Li Jinglong fiercely attacked the city, and there was a lack of troops in the city, so Xu inspired the generals, soldiers, and the wives of the common people, gave them armor, and let them all go to the city and refuse to defend it, so that the city of Beiping could be preserved.

In July of the fourth year of Jianwen (14o2), Zhu Di ascended the throne as emperor, and in November, he named the princess Xu as the queen. Empress Xu said to Zhu Di: "Every year the north and south have been fighting more and more, and the soldiers and civilians have been exhausted, and now they should be allowed to recuperate." He also said: "Today's talents are all left by Emperor Gao, and Your Majesty should not use the new to sparse out the old." He also said, "Emperor Yao's benevolent rule began with his own relatives." Zhu Di always praised and adopted her advice.

At the beginning, Empress Xu's younger brother Xu Zengshou often sent information about the country to Yandi, so he was killed by Zhu Yunwen, and now Zhu Di wants to posthumously give him the title, but Empress Xu strongly said that she could not do so. Zhu Di didn't listen, but still named Xu Zengshou as the Duke of Dingguo, and ordered his son Xu Jingchang to inherit the title, and then told Queen Xu. Empress Xu said: "This is not the will of the concubine. "I didn't thank you after all.

Empress Xu once said that the two kings of Han and Zhao had bad character and should choose courtiers to serve as their official subordinates. One day, Empress Xu asked, "With whom does Your Majesty govern the country?" Zhu Di replied: "The six secretaries manage government affairs, and Hanlin's duty is to study problems and draft proclamations. Empress Xu therefore asked to summon the wives of all these men, give them crowns and coins, and said to them, "Where the wife serves her husband, she should only prepare food and clothes for him, and she should have other help." The words of a friend can be followed or disobeyed, while the words of a husband and wife are tactful and easy to listen to. I serve the emperor day and night, but I think of the livelihood of the people, and you must also encourage your husband. Empress Xu also excerpted the "Female Constitution" and "Female Commandment", and wrote 20 articles of "Internal Training", and also compiled the good words and good deeds of the ancients, and wrote the "Book of Persuasion", which was promulgated all over the world.

In July of the fifth year of Yongle (14o7), Empress Xu was seriously ill, but she still did not forget to advise Zhu Di to cherish the people, seek talents, treat the clan with kindness, and do not be arrogant to relatives. He also warned the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and said: "In the past, the wife of the general of Beiping defended the city for me, and I regret that I did not have the opportunity to accompany the emperor to the north and go to comfort them one by one." On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Empress Xu died at the age of forty-six. Zhu Di was very sad, and held a fast for her in Linggu and Tianxi Temple, accepted the sacrifices of the ministers, and prepared memorial items by Guanglu Temple. On October 14, Zhu Di named her Empress Renxiao.

After the death of Empress Xu, Zhu Di had no plans to establish another queen.

In the seventh year of Yongle (14o9), Zhu Di toured the north, returned to Beiping, which was full of past, and began to move the capital. So the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhao Qian and Jiangxi Warlock Liao Junqing and others went to Beijing to select the mausoleum site, and then selected the auspicious land in Tianshou Mountain, Changping County, after getting Zhu Di's approval, that is, the decree enclosed 8o li, as the forbidden land in the mausoleum area, and instructed to bury the Empress Renxiao here after completion. In the same year, construction began.

In February of the eleventh year of Yongle (1413), the underground Xuangong of Changling was completed, and Zhu Di moved the Zigong of Empress Renxiao from Nanjing to Beijing and buried him in Changling. From the death of the Empress of Yongle in the fifth year to the burial of the eleventh year of Yongle, Xu's coffin has been placed in the Nanjing Imperial Palace during this period, and Empress Xu is also the first person to be buried in the Ming Tombs.

Fifteen years later, that is, on July 18, the twenty-second year of Yongle (1424 AD), Zhu Di, who had not been rewarded, died of illness on the way to conquer Mobei at the age of sixty-five. In December of the same year, Zhu Di and Empress Xu were buried together in the Changling Mausoleum.

In September of the twenty-second year of Yongle (1424), Renzong honored the Empress of Renxiao, and called him "Renxiao, Ciyi, Chengmingzhuang, and the Empress Shengwen of Tianqi". Attached to the temple.

And maybe the Ming Dynasty did not have the corresponding basis for the dictatorship of foreign relatives during the Han Dynasty, or maybe Empress Xu died early, and the Wei Guogong lineage did not eventually evolve into a family like the Huo family and the Wang family during the Han Dynasty, but a relatively gentle family of eunuchs during the Ming Dynasty.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

And also during the Han Dynasty, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were two families of relatives whose influence could be compared with the Huo family and the Wang family.

These two families are the famous Liang family and the Dou family.

The peak of the Liang family's power is represented by the famous general Liang Ji.

Before Liang Shang died and was buried, Emperor Shun appointed Liang Ji as a general, and appointed his younger brother Liang Budo as Henan Yin. By the time of the death of Emperor Shun of Han, Emperor Chong of Han was only two years old and still in infancy, and the Empress Dowager took control of the government and ordered Liang Ji and Taifu Zhao Jun and Taiwei Li Gu to lead the affairs of Shangshu. Although Liang Ji did not accept the resignation, he became even more extravagant and brutal.

Emperor Chong died, and Liang Ji supported Emperor Qian. Emperor Zhen was young but very intelligent, he knew that Liang Ji was arrogant, and once stared at Liang Ji and said, "This is an imperious general." When Liang Ji heard this, he hated him very much, so he asked the attendant to add poisonous wine to the noodle soup for Emperor Qian. The medicinal nature was made, and Emperor Qin was very uncomfortable, and sent someone to summon Li Gu urgently.

Li Gu entered the palace, walked to Emperor Qian's bed, and asked the reason for Emperor Qian's illness. Emperor Qiandi can still speak, saying: "I have eaten soup cakes, and now I feel stuffy in my stomach, give me water to drink, and I can still live." Liang Ji also stood next to him at this time, stopping him and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to vomit and can't drink water." Before the words were finished, Emperor Qiandi had already died. Li Gufu went to the corpse of Emperor Qian, crying and impeaching the imperial physician who was waiting for Emperor Qian. Liang Ji was worried that the truth about the poisoning would be leaked, and he hated Li Gu very much.

After the death of Emperor Qian, Liang Ji set up Emperor Huan again, and framed Li Gu and the former Taiwei Du Qiao.

But Liang Ji's fate was not good, and he finally died in the counterattack of Emperor Huan of Han with the help of the eunuchs:

In the first year of Yanxi (158), Taishi ordered Chen Zhu to state through Xu Huang of Xiaohuangmen that the disaster of the solar eclipse should be blamed on the general. When Liang Ji found out, he hinted that Luo Yang ordered Chen Zhi to be arrested and tortured, and Chen Zhu died in prison, which made Emperor Huan furious.

At the beginning, Xuan, the wife of Deng Xiang, a native of Yeting, gave birth to a daughter named Deng Meng, and after Deng Xiang died, Xuan remarried Liang Ji. Liang Ji is the uncle of Liang Ji's wife Sun Shou. Sun Shou introduced Meng to the court, was favored by Emperor Huan, and was named a nobleman, so Liang Ji wanted to recognize Meng as his daughter to consolidate his power, so he changed Meng's surname to Liang.

At that time, Meng's brother-in-law Bing Zun served as the councilor, and Liang Ji was worried that he would hinder Xuan's intention to change his mind, so he colluded with the assassins to assassinate Bing Zun in Yancheng, and then wanted to kill Xuan. The Xuan family lived in Yanxili, and was neighbors with Yuan Yu, a regular attendant in the middle, and the assassins sent by Liang Ji climbed on the roof of Yuan Yu, wanting to enter the Xuan family from here. Yuan Yu appeared, beat the drum and summoned his subordinates to inform Xuan of the matter.

Xuan immediately ran to the palace to report this incident to Emperor Huan, and Emperor Huan was furious, so he made a plan to kill Liang Ji with Zhongchang Shidan, Gu Yuan, Tang Heng, Zuo Yi, Xu Huang and other five people.

Liang Ji was suspicious of Shan and the others, so he sent Zhang Yun of Zhonghuangmen into the palace to prevent them from making a coup. Gu Ying ordered the officials to arrest Zhang Yun on charges that he suddenly came in from outside the palace and plotted against him. Emperor Huan then came to the front hall in person, summoned the Shangshu, made Liang Ji's crime public, and asked Shangshu to order Yin Xun to lead the officials under Cheng Lang with weapons to guard the palace office, put away all kinds of runes and send them back to the palace.

Sent Huangmen Ling Gu Yu to take the knights on the left and right, Hu Ben, Yu Lin, Duhou Sword Halberd, etc., a total of more than 1,000 people, and Zhang Biao, the captain of Si Li, surrounded Liang Ji's residence. Sent Guangluxun Yuan Xuan to confiscate the seal of Liang Ji's general with the talisman and renamed him the Marquis of Bijingdu. Liang Ji and his wife Sun Shou both committed suicide that day.

The imperial court also arrested Liang Ji's son Yin Liangyin of Henan, his uncle Liang Rang, the captain of the Tun cavalry, as well as his cronies Liang Shu, Liang Zhong, the captain of the Yue cavalry, and Liang Ji, the captain of Changshui, as well as the relatives of the Liang family and the Sun family, all of whom were arrested and sent to the Imperial Prison, where they were sentenced to death and corpses on the streets.

Liang Budo and Liang Meng died before this. There were dozens of other officials who were implicated and died, including the ministers, colonels, assassins, and Yu Lu with 2,000 stones, and more than 300 of the original officials and guests of Liang Ji were dismissed from their official positions, and the imperial court was empty, leaving only Yin Xun, Yuan Xu, and the court commander Handan Yi still there.
