Chapter 50: The looming appearance of the House of Valve
The emperor received the crown prince of Lingnan in the palace, and Luo Jing began to deal with the relatives and friends who came to visit, and there were many relatives in the Dong'ahou Mansion, especially after marrying so many women.
In Liu Heng's era, if Dong'ahou Mansion is described in one word, it is - Qinggui.
This is completely different from Luo Xinxin, after all, although Luo Jing is favored, the official position he holds does not involve important military affairs, and it is impossible to do things directly with him.
However, it can be seen from the scrambling of the magnates to marry their daughters that Luo Jing's real role is not in governing the country, not in leading the army, but in two points.
First, the emperor trusted him, to what extent did this trust go?
Whoever Luo Jing recommends talents, there is no unsuccessful, all those who are advised by Luo Jing, there is no disobedient, and all those who want to take refuge in Luo Jing have not been punished.
This is one of the reasons why many powerful people are willing to marry him.
There are many factors that contribute to the popularity of Luojing, but the most important one is naturally the identity of Luo's son.
This situation is a bit like in real history, when you are an official and have achieved a very high level, your ideal is to marry a wife and marry a woman with five surnames.
The popularity of this kind of atmosphere is not very long, and when Bang Zhou was still there, although Luo's was special, after all, there were still a large number of nobles with a long heritage.
The Luo's women are mainly known for their good moral character.
After the old nobles of the Zhou Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty all perished, the ancient wind buried deep in the blood of Zhuxia could no longer be hidden.
As the only high gate in the world, it has a long tradition of great aristocrats.
In later generations, a rosacea of the Taiyuan Wang family can become a symbol of dignity, and even be able to marry the daughter of the prime minister.
The incomparably strange stigma in Luo's eyebrows naturally crushed everything, so the fashion of the times was to marry Luo.
In addition to the emperor's trust, Luo Jing himself is the core connection of a huge network of relationships, which makes his every word and deed very important, and many people naturally have to come and go around to maintain relationships.
Many powerful families who did not go to Chang'an City in the past came to visit Luojing, and some wanted to re-enter the court.
There are more than just to enter the court, "Princes, the children of the clan are unwilling to enter the government directly, they say that the eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, if everything depends on the concealment of the family, isn't it a shame?"
If you can enter the Taixue, learn from the doctors, and recruit with virtue, this is the one who can glorify the ancestors. ”
Hearing these words, Luo Jing's pupils immediately shrank, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart.
He knew why these people were eyeing Taixue, and they were eyeing doctors of scripture who were far less powerful than them.
Because with Liu Heng's intentional or unintentional transfer, many meritorious marquis who played a small role had no choice but to gradually fade out of the forbidden army system of the Han Dynasty, and even the position of the local hereditary town guarding the dangerous pass was lost.
Although the country is still feuding, it is unwilling to lose power and return to the country to be a rich man.
Desperately thinking about change, a small number of Chehou families saw that the emperor reused those Confucian scholars, and hoped to change from military meritorious nobles to scholarly families.
In the Dong'ahou Mansion, Luo Jing and Luo Ban sat in the quiet room, discussing these military exploits, and both of them had strange looks on their faces, and they looked at each other with some meaning.
Luo Jing muttered: "Could it be that these people have seen the future of the world, and it is the general trend to reuse these people who are good at scripture?"
Although His Majesty has reused Confucianism and other families over the years, the status of the meritorious princes is not low.
A large number of officials are still recommended by them, how can rich people from all over the world care about a penny on the ground? How can these human rights be so powerful that they are eyeing Taixue? ”
In terms of governing the country, these people who have read books are really much better than the heroes who wield guns and sticks.
And it is a very obvious fact that the imperial court will not fight all the time, especially since the current emperor has been in power for many years, focusing on internal affairs, and has not taken the initiative to launch a pioneering war abroad.
However, a large number of officials who can govern the country and strengthen the country and enrich the people are needed at all times.
Luo Ban said in a deep voice: "For the meritorious marquis, as long as there is a feudal country, they can fully afford the cost of cultivating the children of the family.
Those heroes who are gradually losing ground want to take advantage of the east wind to turn over.
There are also some families who realize that the wealth that relies only on imperial power comes and goes quickly.
Ah Jing, you may not know about being in Chang'an for a long time.
Luo's is located in Shandong, and many families can see it as soon as they look up.
Many wealthy families in Shandong, since the collapse of the old country, have long begun to study why the Luo clan can exist for so long and is still in a state of prosperity.
Su Wang is something they can't learn, but Luo's love of reading and research, focusing on the rectification of the family atmosphere, focusing on the cultivation of the family's children, and uniting the whole family, these can be seen.
Many families began to imitate Luo's family, studying the scriptures of the sages within the family, and training the children of the family to read.
As long as talents can emerge from generation to generation, they will naturally be rich from generation to generation.
The imperial court began to reuse these students who were familiar with the classics, which made these families even more excited.
Now Gonghou has probably reacted, so he has also started to do the same. ”
Luo Jing rubbed his temples lightly, and said with a headache: "Not only the ordinary Chehou family, but even the Marquis family, as well as the Liuhou family, whose brain grew back after Zhang Budo's death, began to do this.
The meritorious marquis already had a very strong advantage in the imperial court, they were rich in political resources, and they also held the power of recommendation in their hands.
Although some of them have declined, but the entire founding hero group is still thriving, since the time of Emperor Gao, it has flourished for four generations, this generation needless to say, Liuhou Mansion is still the first cousin of Tianzi, look at the current situation, Yuhou Mansion is also going to rise again.
When the time comes, this group of people will be able to fight, and they will be able to study and govern the country, unless they abandon the virtuous and competent, otherwise other poor families will still have a day to turn over? ”
This trend was not expected by Luo, but Luo Jing was a little worried about this matter.
Why did Ji Zhao sigh that the blessing of the ancestors was a divine skill that seized heaven and earth?
It is because IQ will revert to the mean, and no family can produce talents above the level from generation to generation, which is the core competitiveness of Rockwell.
Those so-called families, the real glory of the time will generally not exceed a hundred years, and they will gradually decline.
Then wait for the next genius head of the family to ascend to the high position, get the trust of a certain generation of emperors, and then rise again with the family name.
Repeatedly, this is the so-called millennium family, which sounds very bluffing, but in fact, the truly glorious days are not long.
However, because of his own success on this path, Rockwell knows very well the horror of it.
Luo Ban said a little speechlessly: "Before, the family always thought that the hundred schools of thought would be passed on in the form of schools, and even some big schools would learn the form of the school palace to establish their own private schools on a large scale.
These students from the same house form alliances, and in this way form factional struggles.
Just like now, hundreds of schools of thought are constantly debating, making their own knowledge above other schools, and then seizing power.
But I never thought that it might be in the form of a family.
If this group of rich and powerful nobles still has some of the right to interpret the scriptures, it will be fine in the early stage, and in the later stage, it will be similar to the nobles of the Bang Zhou period?
Going around and around, how did it go back to the bloodline. ”
Luo Ban followed Luo Ling's learning skills without being surprised, and in the face of this kind of thing that may affect the future for hundreds of years, he was also a little unable to be completely calm.
"Big brother doesn't have to be like this, it's still different after all, in the Central Plains, the Bang Zhou era has completely passed, and it will never appear again.
However, the Han family wants to return to Chang'an, I have already told Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very pleased, reusing them, and many descendants of meritorious heroes are very envious. ”
In the past, the Han family retreated bravely at the peak, and the royal family was very committed to this friendship.
Now the Han clan is going to return to the imperial court, because the influence of the great general Han Xin has almost dissipated.
The current emperor Liu Heng's attitude towards the Han family is only grateful for Han Xin's great achievements in the past, and there is no fear of being a monarch.
As soon as the Han family returned to the imperial court, he directly entered the relatively noble yamen, as a close minister of the emperor, this is an obvious promotion and reuse, whether it is released in the future, or in charge of the guard, it is possible.
The so-called daughter buys horse bones, Liu Heng's favor to the Han family is to show an attitude to all the courtiers, that is, it is due to the Han family, and the royal family will not forget your merits.
As long as you remain loyal to the royal family, the oath that Emperor Gao made to you back then to "make the river like a belt, Mount Tai is strong, the country will be forever, and love the Miao descendants" will still be effective.
A grand ceremony in which the princes of the summer summoned the princes of the inner and outer domains to show the dignity of the emperor of the Son of Heaven, but before the ceremony began, so many changes and adjustments in the officialdom took place, and in this slightly strange atmosphere, the official ceremony finally began.

"History spirals!"
"Even if the historical process falls back to a low point, it is by no means a direct destruction, and the new low point is always higher."
This is the most concise and incisive statement of the historical process and its development that I have ever read, which is vividly reflected in the turn of the Qin and Han dynasties.
When the military meritorious nobles trampled all the decay and unbearable of the thousand-year-old nobles with swords and iron hooves, Chen Sheng shouted in Daze Township that "the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", but the historical process used iron-clad facts to tell everyone that productivity is the dominant factor in everything.
From the corpses of the old nobility of the most decaying blood, it will not be plebeian politics, but the new, more progressive aristocracy.
But this was still a great step forward, at least the era of blood supremacy was completely over, the new aristocracy no longer had indisputable rights to everything, morality and law were firmly suppressed over everyone's heads, at the cost of the expansion of imperial power, and a temporary balance was formed. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
