In the eighth year of Yuan Feng, the emperor issued an edict to completely end the rebellion of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, no longer arrest his comrades on a large scale, no longer accept denunciations, and did not allow county officials to deal with relevant matters privately.

The knife hanging over the heads of countless people is finally gone, and the terrifying political atmosphere will destroy the vitality of the whole society, and with the end of the incident, the repressed businessmen are alive again.

Countless powerful people were cleared, countless high-ranking nobles were cleaned up, and the whole society was filled with a large amount of liquid and ownerless wealth.

A large number of official positions that had been desperately sought suddenly became vacant, and those businesses that were about to monopolize were suddenly torn apart, and the upper echelons of the dynasty suddenly opened up countless positions to the middle and lower classes.

What a scene of life!

The east wind blew through Chang'an, the bitter cold made the people of Chang'an wrap their thick clothes tightly, and the uninterrupted wind blew away all the blood, there were always new upstarts on Changle, and the old nobles would soon be forgotten.

It seems that a short time has passed since the Great Purge of the old year, but many people have gradually forgotten it.

Qin Tianjian.

This is the department responsible for supervising the operation of the sun, moon and stars, and the renewal and adjustment of the calendar is also carried out here, which is an extremely noble position.

Who is the best at astronomical calendars in the world?

Rockwell!

Whose house does the Lord come from?

Rockwell!

Luo's son naturally served as the supervisor of Qintian, in charge of the four solar terms of the Han Dynasty, astronomy and geography.

This made Qin Tianjian more and more noble.

After all, the last time Luo's son held such a hereditary official position was the great Zongzheng of the Bangzhou period!

Luo Qing sat quietly in the hall, holding a book in his hand and reading, Qin Tianjian's affairs were not much, and he needed to deal with even less.

The delicate maid walked up to Luo Qing as lightly as a butterfly, gently lifted her skirt and sat down, poured a cup of tea for Luo Qing first, and then added a bowl for herself.

She is Luo Qing's sister who has not come out of the five suits, and she is naturally different from the master and servant of other aristocratic families, but her sister is just a younger sister to take care of her brother.

She said softly: "Childe, there is news from the palace that Her Majesty the Queen Mother was in a coma when she visited the garden, and the situation seems to be very serious. ”

Luo Qing was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at his clan sister, and said softly: "Thirteenth sister, this is not a joke. ”

The thirteenth sister said solemnly: "Brother, all the imperial doctors from the Imperial Doctor's Department went to the palace just now, it is by no means an ordinary illness, Her Majesty the Queen Mother is old, I am afraid that this time is not good." ”

Empress Dowager Lu Ying, this is a strange woman, who is widely praised in the court and the opposition, and some people even praise her as "inferior to the queen of Gao, the second day of the Han Dynasty".

Needless to say, the merits of Empress Gao and the regent of Lu Pheasant are praised, and there is no higher praise than this in the Han Dynasty to praise a woman second only to Empress Gao.

Luo Qing is more aware of the role played by Lu Ying in the Battle of Jingjing, and the shadow of the empress dowager can be seen in Liu Xun's decision-making, which has played an irreplaceable role in maintaining the relationship between the Lu family, the Luo family and the imperial family.

……

In the Weiyang Palace, there was a gloomy cloud, and one of the supreme rulers of the Han Empire, the Empress Dowager, was seriously ill.

Even though he was kneeling on the edge of the sickbed, Liu Xun still couldn't believe it, his mother was obviously in good health......

"How so?"

Liu Xun held his mother's hand tightly and couldn't help muttering, "How come?" ”

Lu Ying has been strong all her life, but at this time she remained the same, dragging her sick voice and saying: "Emperor, don't be a child, you are the king of all the people in the world, you must be strong at all times, you have something to say to you, and if you don't say it, it will be too late." ”

Liu Xun wiped the corners of his eyes and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, you said." ”

Lu Ying had countless words tumbling in her heart, she had too many things to explain, and finally set her eyes on Empress Xu Pingjun, and said: "Emperor, the empress has a son, this is not enough, at least one more, remember, at least one!" ”

Liu Xun and Xu Pingjun were stunned when they heard this, why did the topic suddenly turn to having a child?

Lu Ying sighed lightly: "Emperor, don't you understand this truth?

An emperor should be judged not only by his personal ability during his reign, but also by whether he can arrange a successor.

Among the previous emperors of my Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaohui can be regarded as a ......

But Emperor Xiaohui can make King Luowen regent and pass on the throne of Emperor Xiaowen, who in the world does not admire?

The ability of Emperor Xiaowu can be called the ancient and the present, but first there is Emperor Xiaoding, then there is Emperor Er, and then there is Liu Bi's troubles, and the name behind him is affected by these unscrupulous descendants.

You will definitely make a prince, so only one prince is not enough insurance, what if he is not good? ”

Liu Xun's face changed, he thought about it carefully, even if the prince was not good, he would forcibly help him up, and immediately understood what his mother was worried about.

Liu Xun nodded, and Lu Ying began to really explain the aftermath, "Emperor, I have been teaching you something since you were a child.

When you become emperor, it will still be the same.

Now on my deathbed, I can't find a word to talk to you.

After thinking about it, let's talk about the problem of Lu and Luo's.

The Lu family is a relative, but I haven't let you reuse them all this time.

Your own uncle has been staying in Jimo, and I hope you can keep doing this to repay your uncle. ”

Liu Xun nodded understandingly, and Lu Ying muttered: "Luo's ......

In fact, I don't know how to persuade you, Emperor Gao has been heroic all his life, Emperor Xiaohui is self-aware, Emperor Xiaowen is humble, and Emperor Xiaowu is confident.

Only you have talent, but it is too coincidental, in fact, you don't have to worry a lot, you are the most powerful person in the world.

It feels deceiving, but the powerful officials of the world are not, they are flocking to you, and this is your power.

Over the years, you've gradually found a way to get along with Rock, and I don't want to bother with that.

The world is gradually recovering, but one thing I have been worried about is the impact of the Battle of Jingjing! ”

The Battle of Jingjing.

Liu Xun's back was slightly chilled, this event that affected the entire Han Dynasty almost reshaped the pattern of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the Battle of Jingjing, I don't know how many people died, and I don't know how many people were exiled.

Lu Ying saw Liu Xun's fear, and frowned slightly: "After the Battle of Jingyan ended, you exchanged your wealth for the power of the heroes of Jingjing, and vigorously raised the status of your clan relatives and relatives as a balance.

But none of this matters, the important thing is that there are too many political purges. ”

Liu Xun said with some heaviness: "Mother, those political purges must be done, otherwise the throne of Dahan Sheji and his son will be even more turbulent." ”

The so-called congenital deficiency is like this!

Some things that are obviously not beneficial have to be done, and some problems that should be solved as soon as possible have to be turned a blind eye, which is the congenital deficiency of the dynasty or emperor.

Lu Ying said weakly: "Of course I understand, so I have never stopped you, I just want to tell you the consequences, since you ascended the throne, there have been five large-scale political purges alone, three only involving Guanzhong, and two involving the world."

These five washes upset the balance.

Because the talents among the clansmen, relatives, and princes are limited, and the number of scholars in the world is infinite, you will sweep away the political power of the past, and if you want to fill these vacancies, you can only use the scholars.

These scholars are much more terrifying than their clan relatives and princes. ”

"Terrible?"

Liu Xun was a little puzzled and said: "Mother, some of those scholars are from small landlords, some are from powerful families in counties, and only a small part are from the families of liehou and princes, so what's so terrible about this?"

When the heroes of Jingnan held the power of the entire Han Dynasty, I had never seen you say the word terrible. ”

Lu Ying sighed lightly: "What's so terrible about the heroes of Jingjing?

Not to mention the fact that they are all loyal ministers, even if there are careerists among them, I am not afraid at all, because all the actions of the heroes of Jingnan are predictable, and they are all political rules handed down from the time of Empress Gao and King Luowen.

Even though they have sharp weapons in their hands, but their minds are already under my control, what is there to fear?

But the behavior of the scribes is unpredictable, and you think they are docile sheep, but you don't know where to hide their sharp teeth.

Just as when the military meritorious nobles first appeared, they were just some lowest-ranking officers, who could have known that this group of people would eventually trample all the nobles of the millennium under their feet?

When the countries rebelled against Qin, the world thought that the surname Xiang Ji was going to get the world, but in the end, it was Emperor Gao, a man from cloth clothes, who ascended to the emperor's throne.

Since Emperor Xiaowen appointed Jia Yi, how long has the prime minister of the Han Dynasty been controlled by the scholars? ”

Liu Xun thought about it a little and exclaimed: "There is only one who is a marquis from military merits, and the rest are all marquis by phase." ”

Lu Ying said lightly: "Now not only is the phase theirs, everything in the Great Han Dynasty has to be handed over to these scholars, and you have no other way, because except for these people, you have no one to use, unless you activate the Kwantung princes and go back to the time when the Great Han Dynasty was just established." ”

Liu Xun was silent, the mother and son were not talking, and the hall was quiet.

————

The political purge of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun destroyed the main political forces of the Han Dynasty in the past hundred years, and in order to put the Han Dynasty back on the right track, he chose the group of scholars to supplement the shortage of officials.

He expanded the scale of the Taixue Palace, the history records that "Taixue has 10,000 houses, all of them are Huaju", reached its peak in the 20th year of the Yuan Feng, Taixue actually had nearly 10,000 Taixue students, and he also allowed the private people to open a school palace, called the academy, to show the difference between the Taixue Palace and the Luo's Palace.

After the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the folk lecture style was interrupted, and now it is prevalent again, and the disciples of the famous Gaoshi sect gathered even more than 10,000 people, and the historical records record that "10,000 people, over the county, the county soldiers look forward to it".

Quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, and the huge number of scholars quickly overwhelmed the political system of the past, and the era of scholastic learning came irreversibly. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
