In the Great Qian's Dynasty, or in any period, there was always a hierarchy.

The difference is that in the early period of the Great Cadres, the ruling class had a great degree of control and could give the ordinary people more room to rise, but in the later period of the Great Cadres, the middle and upper classes were basically controlled by the families of scholars, noble and wealthy families, and official families.

In fact, the three families of scholars, nobles and nobles, and eunuchs have all merged with each other, and then become a completely different family from before.

They are inherited by blood, scriptures and Taoism, and they have become a powerful family.

They have the power of the official face, and they can obtain official positions through the assessment of scriptures, filial piety, talent, title inheritance, shadow officials, etc. Even if ordinary people go to the school palace to study, they can't compete with them at all.

Among them, the top wealthy families are still headed by five surnames and seven hopes.

These five surnames and seven wangs are Longxi Li, Handan Xu, Langya Wang, Anyang Han, Yingchuan Zhang, Nanyang Xu and Huiji Han.

Longxi Li family since the rise of Li Xiao, served as a general, Handan Xu family and Nanyang Xu family are once royal families, but later out of the clan since the opening of a line, Langya Wang family from the Zhou family, is a line of the Zhou Dynasty, after the surrender of the Wang family.

The Anyang Han family is from Han Xin, the Yingchuan Zhang family is the prime minister Zhang Liang, and the Huiji Han family is from the Huaiguo period.

These families have repeatedly served as high-ranking officials at the level of the three princes and nine secretaries of the imperial court, and they are the highest families except for the royal family.

They have made great contributions to the great cadres, but now they are more concerned about their own families.

In addition to these top families, the next ones are those who have served as high-ranking officials in Jiuqing, and then those who have served as Taishou.

Of course, these top tycoons can only be arrogant locally, and the court is still controlled by the royal family. It's just that now the Mandate of Heaven has ended, and each place has its own policies, and the imperial court is beyond the reach of the whip.

These wealthy families can be regarded as real history, and the top gate valves in the Western Jin Dynasty are far from being comparable to those with five surnames and seven looks in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, the five surnames and Qiwang were only very famous, and there were many famous people in the family, and they controlled part of public opinion, but there was no fiefdom, no private soldiers, and only some political resources.

In fact, the right is not big, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty in history also said to kill them, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi's original queen came from the Taiyuan Wang family, and was finally killed, what did the Taiyuan Wang family say?

Elevating their status is completely a pawn used by the royal family to suppress the Guanlong aristocracy.

These families got the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so that those families may laugh off their big teeth when they see it. Phew, not even a fiefdom manor, a family, and a family? Do you want to be an official or take the imperial examination? Phew, what kind of family, it's not as good as cold.

The families in the Western Jin Dynasty all had land and families, and they were directly recommended to be officials.

There are no thousands of family members in the family, and they are embarrassed to tell others that they are first-class families.

Daqian's current five surnames and seven hopes are like this, even if the imperial court has always suppressed the gate valve family, but the imperial court's system is still no match for their selfishness.

Although these five surnames and seven wangs are not as good as the top gate valve families that have grown to their final form in the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, their strength is also very strong.

These families were able to use their family officials to do things that were convenient for their families.

Rights are bottom-up. It's not that if you say a word above, it will be implemented immediately. The right has nothing to do with the family of the fourth and third dukes.

In real history, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who were the first of the fourth and third princes, but Yang Xiu was also the third prince of the fourth dynasty, even more than the Yuan family, but why was one Yuan family able to support the two princes and occupy almost half of the world?

That's because there is a sentence under the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third duke, and the protégés are all over the world. Officials from the Yuan family accounted for one-third of the officialdom of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Yuan family can give the benefits to the younger brothers below and make them officials, and those protégés and former officials are naturally willing to contribute to the Yuan family and be willing to be their lackeys.

If you can't bring benefits to your younger brother and can't give your protégé the official position, then don't talk about the family of the fourth and third dukes of your family, even the third duke of the tenth generation, and no one will listen to you.

Do you feel that being a lackey insults your personality? That's it, many people don't have the opportunity to be if they want to.

Do you think anyone can be a dog?

These top giants have woven a huge network of relationships, with in-laws, mentors, etc. as the link, forming a big network.

If this kind of monopoly is peaceful in the world, it will hardly be broken, because those talented scholars from poor families are absorbed into this network of in-laws and relationships.

Some scholars from ordinary people once vigorously criticized this phenomenon, and then some people ridiculed: "Children of poor families, ten years of hard study, if they are talented, they will naturally be favored by noble women, and then they will rise to prominence and take up their posts, and they will get a high position of 2,000 stones, and the family will naturally be prominent." ”

"You're complaining now, it's just that you're not good enough, and you don't have a noble lady to look up to!" To put it bluntly, no one wants to be a dog.

Actually, that's what the scholastic gates do, and the good ones are absorbed into them and become part of this net.

Even if the royal family disagrees with these, they can't stop it, because if you stop it, those poor scholars will not only not be grateful to you, but even feel that you are cutting off their future.

It's human nature, what can the royal family do? Forbidden to intermarry talented scholars and scholarly families? Even if the royal family is mentally retarded, they will not give such an order.

Since the rise of the scholarly family, the expansion of this relationship network has been unstoppable, even the imperial court, and the government of the great cadres has also slipped into the abyss step by step.

If you want to break this relationship, the best way is to kill these people again, and have a Heyin Rebellion, or the Huangchao Uprising.

In real history, the monster of the Western Jin Dynasty gate valve was because of the wars again and again, which eventually led to the loneliness of these gate valves.

The Heyin Rebellion, the Hou Jing Rebellion, the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, etc., a series of wars and turmoil, the damage caused by them, so that those gate valve families could not bear it.

Now this is the case in the world, the family of scholars has tacitly isolated Luoyang, and the orders of the imperial court can only be around Luoyang.

It's just that the current world is not just a gate valve for learning. Liu Yu's request for official position made the royal family aware of the ambitions of the peasant soldiers, so many peasant soldiers also gained fame and became the lords of a county.

In addition, there are also the pioneer nobles who were once enshrined by the royal family, although these pioneer nobles do not have many scholars, but they have the most soldiers and horses under their command, and they naturally want to go further.
