Liu Chan looked at Xin Xiu's deflated appearance, but there was not much happiness in his heart.

Because he knows that dealing with the family is definitely not something that can be done overnight.

It's not something that can be done with just a mouthful.

It's going to go through bloodshed.

The slightest carelessness is the overthrow of the dynasty.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was easily soluble in water, and perhaps the emperor of the Han Dynasty was soluble in water.

As for how to solve the family, in fact, Liu Chan already has some ideas in his mind.

The most commonly used is to establish a imperial examination system and promote the poor.

The Hanmen represent the common people of Limin, and the family is often the landlord gentry and the eunuch class, which is a natural antagonistic class with the Hanmen.

Therefore, the most common way to limit these people is to give the people benefits and promotion channels to confront the family.

It's a pity that the power of the family is too great now, and the power of the ordinary people of the poor family is too small.

Even if the imperial examination system is used, those who are admitted are still people from families, and there is not much difference between using the imperial examination system.

On the contrary, it will arouse the rebellious heart of the family.

Now that the Three Kingdoms have not yet been unified, Liu Chan will naturally not completely fall out with the family.

He now needs the support of the family to rule the world.

In addition to the imperial examination system, there is actually another method.

That's the Push Grace Order.

This is when Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu dealt with the king, and it was used to deal with the family, and it was not impossible.

In essence, the Tui En Order changed the model of the eldest son's dominance, dispersing the interests of the family from within, and a certain degree of conflict of interests would cause their internal contradictions to intensify.

After the Han Dynasty promulgated the Tui'en Decree, the royal family surnamed Liu was a plate of loose sand in the back, and it was declining day by day.

But

Liu Chan is still skeptical that this family's Tuen Ling can succeed.

The key to the Tui En Order is "grace", which is the benefit.

The Tui En Decree involved three forces: the princes, the eldest sons of the princes, and the rest of the princes.

The princes' favorite son was not necessarily the eldest son, and he might want to leave some land wealth to his son, so the princes' attitude was wavering—they might agree with the edict or they might oppose it.

If there is no Tui'en Order, the eldest son will completely inherit the land of the princes, so the eldest son is the biggest "victim" of the Tui'en Order, and he is also the biggest opponent of the Tui'en Order.

If the decree is implemented, the eldest son will inherit a certain amount of land, even if it is very small, but they can still distinguish the difference between zero and one.

Therefore, the eldest son of the non-concubine is an ironclad supporter of the Tui En Order.

The lord's father used the interests of the princes and the eldest son to win the support of the princes and concubines.

There is only one eldest son, but there are many concubines.

Therefore, the Wudi Dynasty was able to successfully divide the princes and achieve the goal of cutting the feudal domain.

But the family is not the same as the king.

The power of the family came from local influence and the level of official position in the imperial court.

The family owned land and wealth, and enjoyed local power.

It's the so-called county wang.

For example, Hongnong Yang, Langxiwang and Chenjun Xie, etc., place names are not only their ancestral hometown, but also their sphere of influence.

The family will be in power, but not necessarily in power, some will serve as local officials, and some will be in the prime minister.

An ordinary family may become a top family because someone in the family suddenly ascends to a high position, and this is the case with the Xie family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The Xie family has experienced two generations of hard work (Xie Kun and Xie Pei brothers), and was only a second-rate family before Xie An took power, until Xie An became the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then became the Xie in the "Old King Xie Tang Qianyan".

However, after the deaths of Xie An and Xie Xuan, the power of the Xie clan also weakened a lot.

The same is true of the Yu clan where Huan Wen, a powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is located.

Before Huan Wen took power, his father Huan Yi was just an internal history of Xuancheng, and he was not at the grade at all.

But after Huan Wen came to power, the Huan family became a behemoth that controlled the situation in the world.

The emperor used his official position to win over a family to deal with the top family, but it was just a change of family to take power, and the king, Yu, Huan, and Xie took turns to take power, didn't it mean that this move would not work?

Yu Liang is the eldest brother of Emperor Ming of Jin, the uncle of Emperor Cheng of Jin and Emperor Kang of Jin, and a relative of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The Yu clan's ascension to power was a means used by the Eastern Jin Dynasty emperor to deal with the Wang clan, and the result was just to cultivate another powerful minister, which was completely useless to revive the imperial power.

As for the division within the family, the effect of the so-called Tui En Order must not be good.

Huan Wen's power is comparable to that of Huo Guang of the Western Han Dynasty, and even greater, and he almost replaced the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After Huan Wen's death, the power of the Huan clan was not handed over to the eldest son Huan Xi, but to his younger brother Huan Chong and Huan Huo.

It is completely different from the father to son of the royal family and princes.

There is also the Wang family, after the death of Wang Dao, the Wang family's voice in the court was his nephew Wang Biaozhi, not his son.

The same is true of the Yu family, after Yu Liang's death, the brothers Yu Yi and Yu Bing were in power, not the sons.

The family is different from the royal family and princes, and their main power comes from the official position, and without the official position, it is just a wealthy family with a little more influence.

There are many emperors, princes and princes in their teens in the world, but the teenage Taishou, Thorn History, and Prime Minister are too surprised.

Becoming an official requires a certain amount of qualifications.

In order to ensure the power of the family, the family can only give power to a more mature brother or a more capable nephew, not necessarily to a son.

The transmission of power between families is stronger than age.

Huan Chong is younger than Huan Huo, but he is the person in charge of the Huan clan after Huan Wen's death.

As for the methods of eradicating the family in addition to the Tui En Decree and the imperial examination system, there are.

It is similar to the separation of civil and military affairs, and different reward and punishment systems are designed between the civilian and military cliques to restrain each other.

Reuse the royal family and relatives, establish the East and West Factory, and so on.

There are many methods, but in this era, there are almost no ways to use them.

"Is Gong Xin on the side of the Longxi Shi clan, or on my side?"

The two of them are already in a showdown, and they have said everything,

Now that we've said it, it's time to make a choice.

Although he didn't hear what he wanted from Liu Chan's mouth, since Xin Xiu came to the Han army camp, he had already made a choice.

If the emperor can't tolerate the Longxi Shi clan, he wants to cut the authority of the Longxi Shi clan.

so

He, the Xin family, will not be a Longxi scholar, but a world scholar.

How was this Longxi given to the emperor?

What about selling other nobles to the emperor as a vote?

To be a man, the heart is to be ruthless.

Non-toxic and non-husband, the rise and fall of the Xin family may be today!

Thinking of this, Xin Xiu's eyes became sharp.

He bowed to Liu Chan and said in a loud voice:

"The army of his subordinates is 5,000 soldiers, and the roster will be sent today, and the household registration list of the land of Xin's Wubao will be sent to Longxi, and His Majesty's army will enter Longxi, and the post of Longxi County Guard can also be done. Your Majesty's order, your subordinates are on the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, and it must also be completed. ”

It seems that they are going to cooperate.

The smile on Liu Chan's face gradually became brighter.

"What do you want?"

"Your Majesty has nothing else to ask for, the only thing you want is to ask Your Majesty to allow my niece Xin Xianying to return to Luoyang to complete the marriage."

Send Xin Xianying to get married?

Hehe.

Liu Chan looked at Xin Xiu with deep meaning and said, "Where is she?" ”

"Valley of a Thousand Rivers." Xin Xiu replied honestly

"Take me to her."

Send her to get married?

Why did you bring it up on purpose?

Also brought up at this time.

It's just to let Xin Xianying enter the palace.

Do you want to be a relative too?

This is to be a clan of the world, not limited to one place.

What a big ambition!

Liu Chan snorted coldly in his heart, but the smile on his face was still the same.

But compared with getting the support of the Xin family and seeking Longxi, what is wrong with making the Xin family more prominent?

Meals are always eaten in one bite.

Dealing with the family may be Liu Chan's best choice now. (End of chapter)
