Based on the time of this era, the family appeared more than 1,000 years ago, and until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wars and turmoil were frequent, and the gate valve that had lost its ability to govern the country was simply unable to deal with it.

With the development of productive forces, the development of papermaking, the increase in the popularity of books, and the implementation of the imperial examination system, the Shu landlords were gradually able to enter the court as officials through the imperial examination, shaking the monopoly of the gate valve in the field of culture and education, and the manor model that the gate valve relied on was difficult to maintain, so that the so-called gate valve in history gradually disappeared.

But the gatekeeper of the monopoly on the field of culture and education is gone, and there is no such group?

Liu Jian thinks that it is not, but the group that monopolizes education and career based on the Four Books and Five Classics has disappeared, but as long as there are human beings, there will still be classes that use monopoly as a means of oppression.

The productive forces of mankind will develop, and the market economy, production capacity and resources, science and technology will eventually replace the Four Books and the Five Classics as the mainstream, and at that time, the monopoly will be global......

In short, judging from the nature of human development and human resource plunder, such groups will only exist in a different way because of human development and will not become extinct.

If Liu Hong holds an attitude that is premised on eliminating or changing the system, he will be the first to perish.

The thousand-year-long historical process has shown that relying solely on strategy, provocation, and confinement to change the inherent system is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

Every evolution of living things is inevitably accompanied by a revolution and an explosion.

When the suffering of the human body accumulates to a certain extent, there must be a disease, and the process of curing this disease has never been solved by a few internal groups arguing with a few words.

In the history of mankind, reform and war have always gone hand in hand.

And in the 100 years after the end of the war, there will often be a burst of greater and stronger productivity.

The Han Dynasty has come to this situation, because of the dispute between the imperial power and the lord, the dispute between ancient and modern literature, and the dispute between the landlord and the poor, it is impossible to solve any problem just by solving these contradictions.

Resolving the dispute between imperial power and the reading of the war, and resolving the dispute between ancient and modern literature, will not bring about higher productivity, nor will it bring about any effective change.

Whoever was the real promoter of the Yellow Turban Uprising, there is no doubt that the internal logic of the uprising was predestined.

Although it hurts severely, it is also the beginning of healing.

These words were not said by Liu Jian to Liu Hong, he could only understand them in his heart.

He just extracted the simple truth from this big logic to slowly push Liu Hong to do something.

……

"Your Majesty, the benefits that the party can obtain this time, in the Xiping years, have been exhausted, the scholars have changed the way to deal with it, Your Majesty can think about it, over the years, whether it is Xuanling filial piety or Hongdu students, whether they can successfully enter the office, but they have never been able to become the mainstream, what Your Majesty wants, after all, only three points are in hand."

"Hongdu Xuemen, Xuanling filial piety ......"

Liu Hong reached out and rubbed his temples, muttering to himself.

This was a two-step move he made in order to change the system of the scholar clan, but the final effect could not meet his highest expectations, which made Liu Hong quite depressed.

"Then according to Aiqing's meaning, is it to give up the party according to the will of Yuan Ji and others?"

"It's not to give up, it's to give up slowly, this time Yuan Ji and others in the name of 'clan ceremony', ask Your Majesty to revoke the party, this move can be regarded as catching the attention of the people of the world, in the eyes of the minister, although the party is to be withdrawn, but Your Majesty can not withdraw for no reason, and finally return what you need to ask for some of the things your Majesty needs."

"Aiqing thinks, what do I need at this moment?"

"This, the minister can't make a decision for His Majesty, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven sits on the four seas, the eight wildernesses, what the Son of Heaven wants, the minister can't think of it, but some things are in a hurry, the minister has been in Zhuoxian since I was a child, my father once taught me, the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be done one by one, Your Majesty, some things are not urgent, not one or two generations can be done, and they need to be slowly figured out."

Liu Hong was silent for a long time, and then nodded slowly and said, "I understand what Aiqing means, but I have one last thing to ask Qing." ”

"Your Majesty, please."

"Yongle Shaofu Yuan Ji, although he is the leader of the second generation of the Yuan family, but he has never acted for many years, this time he is the party member, he is the next suzerain of the Yuan family, but he personally came forward, why is this?"

Liu Jian was slightly silent when he heard this.

His answer this time is likely to be related to Liu Hong's attitude and policy towards the Yuan family and the family in Beijing in the next few years.

His mind turned sharply, and he quickly weighed it, and then gave a long salute: "Yuan Ji at this time is quite similar to His Majesty in September of the first year of Jianning. ”

When Liu Hong heard this, he naturally understood.

What happened in the first year of Jianning?

September coup d'état in Xinhai.

After that, the Taifu Chen Fan, the general Dou Wu, the Shangshu Ling Yin Xun, and the servant Liu Yu were all exterminated, not Liu Hong's mother, but the Empress Dowager Dou, who enjoyed the treatment of Liu Hong's mother, was driven to the Yuntai of Nangong, and the emperor's biological mother finally became Empress Xiaoren and lived in Yongle Palace.

Although the September coup was not a direct seizure of power initiated by the young emperor, but a Jedi counterattack by the eunuch party, it has to be admitted that Liu Hong was the biggest beneficiary of that coup.

Since then, he has gone from being a child who has been bound to an emperor who can truly enjoy imperial power.

"I see!" Liu Hong nodded slowly: "No pretense of power, the second generation of the Yuan family is determined to stand at the forefront of the court." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, compared to Yuan Situ, who is nearly sixty years old, the person who will learn from Your Majesty all the year round in the future will eventually be the second generation of the Yuan family, Your Majesty, sooner rather than later, the sooner you figure out the opponent's skills and routines, the more beneficial it will be to Your Majesty."

Liu Hong was silent for a long time, and finally said to Liu Jian.

"Aiqing's loyalty is comparable to Gongdan."

Gongdan? Hehe......

Liu Jian smiled secretly in his heart, in fact, you want to treat me as Qu Yuan and Bigan, right?

"The interests of the party's government have been fulfilled by me, and the next step is to change a new way, right?" Liu Hong asked Liu Jiandao.

"Yes."

But Liu Jian secretly said in his heart: In terms of the existing shortcomings of this imperial court, everything is in vain.

For example, in the case of a company whose organizational structure and business philosophy have become completely ruined, there is no other way but to reorganize.

"Your Majesty, slowly pardoning the party, this is a big victory for Yuan Ji, at this time of victory, if Your Majesty is promoted to the rank of the chief of the permanent servants, I think there will not be too much resistance."

Once the eunuchs are enthroned, the emperor can take advantage of this trend to appoint the relatives of the powerful to hold important local positions, and to a certain extent, expand some of the so-called important imperial power in his own opinion.

"Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhongshi shouted to kill you in front of me, but you let me knight them, don't you blame them?"

Liu Jian said: "The two lieutenants and ministers are both for the sake of His Majesty, but in different ways. ”

Liu Hong was silent for a while, and reached out to pat Liu Jian's shoulder: "But after all, their pattern is too small compared to Aiqing." ”

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing for the minister."

"What?"

"Please Your Majesty transfer the ministers from the Yue Cavalry Camp and still give them the position of Lang Guan, so that the ministers can be better loyal to Your Majesty."

Liu Hong looked at him with some puzzlement: "Why did Qing say this?" Could it be that a captain with 2,000 stones is not as good as a 600-stone lieutenant? ”

"The minister is just used to fighting alone, that's all."

Liu Hong pondered carefully for a while, and understood in his heart.

"Aiqing came to Ruoyang from Zhuojun at the beginning, the foundation is not deep, not like others, let you serve as the captain of the first battalion, and there is no conscience to assist, it is really embarrassing for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."

"Ran Qing's appointment as the captain of the Yue Cavalry is my own life, and it must not be changed, so where is the power of heaven? In this way, the subordinate officials in the five battalions of the Northern Army can be at their own discretion, or change or transfer, and the Qing can know by himself, Zhang Rang will coordinate with me, and Aiqing does not need to scruples. ”
