"Before the Qin Dynasty, the world was a state of state, and it was the princes and kings who were divided."

"In this state, the Son of Heaven, the princes, the doctors, etc., are all hereditary, and they rule the world together, and this group of people is called the nobility."

"Later, Qin unified the world, except for the Son of Heaven, no one else could be hereditary, abolished the feudals, established counties, the state of the state disappeared, and the nobles became bureaucrats."

"We, the Han Dynasty, inherited the Qin system, used the county system, and there were also some feudal states, and the counties and states were parallel."

"The former aristocrats and bureaucrats have transformed into family members in our Han Dynasty, which is a progressive process that develops over time."

Yang Zhao continued: "The nobles can become nobles, relying on blood relations, and the scholars can become scholars, relying on studying to become officials, although the current scholars are not hereditary officials like the nobles, but they can control the way to become officials, and use another way to be hereditary. ”

Hearing this evolutionary analysis, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong nodded approvingly.

Judging from their current social form and historical development process, what they said is not wrong.

For example, the current Yang Zhao, if he wants to be an official, he has to rely on Lu Zhi's merit to recommend, Lu Zhi's Lu family, one of the families, has a certain way to become an official, and there are also a large number of protégés under him.

Other big families, such as the Yuan family, the Yang family, etc., the fourth generation and the third prince, have prominent family backgrounds and countless protégés, because they control their careers very well.

"And then?"

Cai Yong asked.

Yang Zhao continued: "The control of the Shitu by the Shi clan is equivalent to occupying the imperial court and having a certain amount of power. With the prestige of the family, he can also control the speech of the world and control the ideology. And because the family is very large, they own a large amount of fertile land in the world, and they control most of the wealth, which is equivalent to controlling the economic base, and these add up to almost control a country. ”

The words ideology and economic foundation, regardless of whether they can understand it or not, Yang Zhao said it casually.

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong listened and were shocked.

According to their own family, they found that as Yang Zhao said, a country controlled by the family will not be a country.

"If this trend continues, it will be difficult for the Han to control the Shijia clan, and in turn, the Han may be controlled."

Yang Zhao also knows that he is very bold now.

If it gets out, you may not even know how to die.

He can only say it in front of Lu Zhi and the others, as for whether he will be kicked out, it depends on what they think.

Cai Yong retorted: "Mingguang has a certain basis for what he said, but it is too one-sided, although the family is huge, but the family is loyal to the Han." ”

Yang Zhao got up and saluted and said, "Mr. Cai and the teacher, loyal and patriotic, everyone knows it, but what about the others? In the face of the interests of the family and the interests of the Han, how will they choose? ”

Cai Yong was silent.

They have been in the circle of the family for a long time, and they have seen everyone.

The interests of the family, for most people, are above all else.

Lu Zhi also had nothing to say.

This student's words are too rebellious.

But in addition to rebellion, there is some truth.

He sighed helplessly, as if acknowledging this reality.

"The family has the ability to control the country, if they think that the interests of the family are above everything else, it is the sorrow of the country, and it will cause very serious consequences."

"Why was Zhang Jiao able to lead so many people to rebel? Part of the reason for this is actually in the family of scholars. ”

"But in the chaos, has the family been affected?"

"Hardly!"

"It's the ordinary people of Li Shu who are really suffering."

Yang Zhao was moved.

Inside the study, the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

Lu Zhi sighed: "Mingguang's analysis is good, we rarely thought about this aspect before, but what we talked about today must not be known to people outside." ”

"I understand!"

Cai Yong nodded slightly: "Although Mingguang's background is low, his understanding of the court and the Han Dynasty is deeper than ours, Zigan really accepted a good student, I want to know, if there is no family clan, what will happen in the future?" ”

"As I just said, from the nobles, bureaucrats to the nobles, it is a process of progressive development, and the main change in this process is that the power is weakened, and the nobles can be hereditary, but the nobles cannot be hereditary."

Yang Zhao thought for a while and said: "If the Shi clan declines, replacing the class of the Shi clan, the power will be weaker, I guess there is no Shi clan, it may be the Shu clan to fill this vacancy." ”

He is not guessing, according to the trajectory of historical development, the next family will retreat from the stage of history and give way to the Shu family, which is completely hereditary for bureaucrats.

What led to this progressive process was a change in the system of electing officials

The family of the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty is equivalent to a transitional role.

"Shu?"

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong glanced at each other.

They didn't understand why Yang Zhao would think that the Shu clan would come forward and replace the Shi clan.

Yang Zhao understood that what he said was a bit too much, and added: "I'm just guessing randomly, what I said is the result of my own judgment after coming to Luoyang, based on what I saw and heard, and the teacher and Mr. Cai think it's inappropriate, please punish the two of you." ”

"No, you're quite right."

"This is the disadvantage of our big man, and it is still the biggest drawback."

"It's also a drawback that can't be changed."

Cai Yong was not angry, but agreed with Yang Zhao's opinion.

He became more and more envious of Lu Zhi, although Yang Zhao's background was relatively low, but his thoughts and thoughts were deeper than those of many children of the family.

Lu Zhi still advised: "If you say something like that, Mingguang must not talk about it to others again." ”

"Students understand."

Of course, Yang Zhao knew that he couldn't say it to the outside world.

Otherwise, he will become the public enemy of those families.

Lu Zhi said: "We originally wanted to try Mingguang's ability, but now it's more like being taught by Mingguang in turn. ”

Hearing this, Cai Yong also smiled.

They are in the middle of the family, and what they can think of is naturally not as much as Yang Zhao, an outsider in the family.

"Thinking that Mingguang is about to leave Luoyang and go to the north, I am really reluctant."

Cai Yong said in a bad habit.

Lu Zhi didn't want Yang Zhao to leave now, he wanted to stay by his side and teach him personally.

Yang Zhao had no choice but to say: "The student's mind, on the battlefield, if he can live, protect his family and defend the country, if he dies in battle, he will have no regrets and no regrets." ”

"Good!"

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong expressed their appreciation at the same time.

What a horse leather shroud!

That's the end of today's conversation.

The two of them have raised their cognition and evaluation of Yang Zhao to another level, and they are impressed in their hearts.

Next, Cai Yong left them behind and continued to discuss other things.

It was nearly evening before they returned to Lu's house.

"Mingguang's matter as a county magistrate has really been obstructed by many people, and they are all people who are dissatisfied with you at the celebration banquet that day."

Lu Zhi said helplessly: "But don't worry, General Huangfu has indicated that he will help you, and His Royal Highness King Ganling should give you a little help, and it will be determined in two more days." ”

Yang Zhao said gratefully: "Thank you, teacher!" ”

For the position of a small county magistrate, those people from the family will not fight for it.

But they did this just to disgust Yang Zhao and take revenge.

Whatever Yang Zhao wanted, they destroyed it, leaving him with nothing, and in the end he could only leave Luoyang in disgrace.
