"Grandpa, you are the emperor of tomorrow, and the whole world belongs to you.
These aristocratic families are really... really..."
"Difficult to handle.
It’s really that hard to do. "
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with fear, he held Zhu Xiongying's hand and continued,
“My eldest grandson, it’s not like you can have the final say in everything in the world once you become the emperor.
We thought the same way before, as long as we become the emperor,
We can do whatever the fuck we want,
But,
Only when we became emperor did we realize that,
None of them were as free as when they were beggars! "
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying and felt that it was time.
He opened his mouth and said,
"Grandson, grandpa will tell you today what a noble family is."
Zhu Xiongying nodded seriously, his expression full of seriousness,
Lao Zhu’s vision and life experience,
Just saying this casually is enough to benefit Zhu Xiongying a lot.
What's more, it's a family that Zhu Xiongying doesn't know much about yet!
Zhu Xiongying couldn't wait to hear it,
What grandpa said!
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, his tone full of unspeakable meaning,
He asked,
"Grandson, have you noticed?
There are very few records of aristocratic families in history books, but they are everywhere? "
Zhu Xiongying was stunned.
Zhu Yuanzhang said this,
Indeed!
In history books,
The emperor has established his own dynasty and wishes to clean up the eighteenth generation of an emperor's ancestors.
Also, what embarrassing things did the emperor do in his daily life?
Everything is written clearly in the history books for you.
Euphemistically called,
The emperor has lost his virtue.
There are indeed not many records about the aristocratic family.
Even if there are a large number of biographies of ministers who came from aristocratic families, they are only mentioned briefly.
It is far from recording the royal family, which completely destroyed the eighteen generations of ancestors!
Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but said,
"Grandpa, is it because the emperor is more important?
So you have to write a lot?
As for the aristocratic family, the ministers who entered the court through the family were mentioned directly.
It is everywhere, and it is because most officials come from aristocratic families. "
When Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but get angry.
Said slightly angrily,
"Eldest grandson, you were right later.
It’s true that most officials come from aristocratic families. Things will be better after we launch the imperial examination.
Those who were high officials in the past, except for the founder of the country,
Which of the following is not a person of hereditary favor in the family?
but,
You were distracted earlier.
The records of the emperor in history books seem to be full of praise.
In fact, if you look carefully,
If you do something small that dissatisfies the historian,
People will also write it clearly for you,
That person lives a lifetime, who has no time to do errands?
The historian said no, it must be written straightly!
But what if it was all written in a straight line?
Those texts that record the background of officials,
Basically it's all praise,
What a prominent local family, the people's heart attached to it, a home that has accumulated good deeds.
Damn it,
But the emperor always does wrong things, so those aristocratic families are all good people? ! "
Zhu Yuanzhang paused and took a sip of water.
Zhu Xiongying looked thoughtful.
Indeed, as Lao Zhu said,
He searched his memory,
In the history books I read in my previous life, there was really no mention of the bad behavior of the wealthy family behind the ministers.
None of the aristocratic families committed any wrongdoing, they were all moral models.
This is impossible!
Zhu Xiongying was as anxious as a cat scratching his head and couldn't help but say,
"Grandpa, tell your grandson quickly,
Why is this so? "
Zhu Yuanzhang moved Zhu Xiongying into his arms again,
whispered,
"Because, these history books,
They were all written by the family themselves. "
Uh-huh! ! !
Zhu Xiongying was trembling all over,
A chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head,
It's obviously not cold,
But Zhu Xiongying was extremely cold!
Are history books written by aristocratic families? !
In current terms,
The family has always controlled public opinion! ! !
This makes complete sense,
Why is the record of the emperor so harsh, and the emperor can only allow such slander?
For ministers, no matter whether they are good or bad,
But the aristocratic family behind the ministers,
They are all formulaic people who accumulate good deeds!
turn out to be,
The historian who compiles history does not wear the same pants as the emperor!
They are all from aristocratic families!
The position of historian is hereditary!
Let's just say that Sima Qian, who wrote the historical records, was his father who succeeded him as a historian.
Compared to who the emperor is,
They have to safeguard their own interests even more!
A family without a country!
Zhu Yuanzhang continued,
"Do you know why there are so many dark histories of military generals in history books?"
Zhu Xiongying's mind went blank.
He really didn't notice this,
He shook his head subconsciously and said,
"My grandson doesn't know."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed, but his smile was full of ridicule,
A mockery of the world.
"My eldest grandson, it's because these generals are all born with mud-legged backgrounds!
Look at those powerful people in their families, who would send their children to fight on the battlefield? !
The most they can do is to go to a quiet and safe place like Huangling Division to eat and wait to die.
Or command gold plating in military accounts,
Those who fight hard on the battlefield are just idiots!
If you can spell it out, you will be prosperous and wealthy, if you can't spell it out, you will die.
So, eldest grandson, you say,
Can these civilian officials look down on military attachés?
I don’t like it at all!
Hahahahaha! ! !
We watch them play monkey tricks every day!
interesting!
So damn interesting! ! "
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but burst into tears from laughter.
But Zhu Xiongying was stunned in place.
In an instant, many things that I didn’t understand became clear!
Why are civil and military officials incompatible with each other?
Most civil servants come from aristocratic families.
They read a lot, have good family backgrounds, and know everything.
There is no need to fight desperately on the battlefield, just strategizing.
And those warriors who advance through military exploits,
Most of them come from a humble background, not even from a humble family!
But now we are indeed in the same place,
Those civil servants are going to say,
What's your level? What's my level?
Are you worthy of standing with me?
No wonder, no wonder the situation between North Korea and China is like this!
Zhu Yuanzhang’s words,
Finally helped Zhu Xiongying touch the core thing!
Family.
A big hand that forever covers the court,
Invisible, but everywhere.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued,
"When we look at the emperors of the past dynasties, they should think the same thing as us.
One day after sitting on the Dragon Throne, we understood this all at once.
Except for one person, all the founders of the country were compromising with the family.
During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,
The three families were divided into Jin, the Tian family conquered Qi, and the three Huan states of Lu State,
All of them are noble and powerful.
Usurping the country!
Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, led a group of mud-legged people to conquer the world.
In the end, I had no choice but to confer a king with a different surname.
Distribute the imperial power to the nobles of the six countries.
Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu,
Haha, even more fucking embarrassing,
As an emperor, he cannot measure the land of the world.
Why?
Those lands have been swallowed up by aristocratic families, and there are no such lands in the official account books.
Without it, taxes cannot be collected;
Liu Xiu was planning to measure the fields, which was a disguised form of asking for money from those aristocratic families.
It's finally okay, okay?
There was another commotion, and the matter of measuring fields was dropped. "
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and raised a mocking smile on his lips.
continued,
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty declined and the people were waiting for death.
Everyone knows that the great man's strength has been exhausted.
Zhang Jiao rose up and called it the Yellow Turban Uprising. "
Zhu Xiongying nodded. This period of history is known to everyone.
After that,
It means that all the heroes rise together and become the Three Kingdoms.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued,
"Is Zhang Jiao a good person?
We think he is a good person.
If the government doesn't let me live, I will rebel!
Those who joined the Yellow Turban Army were basically poor people.
Zhang Jiao gave them food and gathered everyone to overthrow the rotten Han Dynasty.
However, the princes from all walks of life quickly raised troops to annihilate them.
Don’t these princes know that the Han Dynasty is hopeless?
they know.
So why do they hate the Yellow Turban Army more than they hate the Han Dynasty? "
"Because Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army is not qualified to serve."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily,
"right!
A bunch of mud-legged people still want to fight for Jiuding? !
When all the aristocratic families see this, can they bear it?
So we wiped out the Yellow Turban Army together,
Then they continue playing on their own.
Tell me,
Among the princes with names and surnames in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which one is not a wealthy family?
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Zan...
In other words, Liu Bei didn't have anything in his hands.
In fact, Liu Bei cannot win,
There is only one reason,
There is no aristocratic family to support him. "
No emperor has ever said these words,
Only Lao Zhu,
Only in this way can we clear away the fog of history.
Show Zhu Xiongying the ugliest things in human nature.
“After that, the Sima family received support from the family.
Eastern Jin Dynasty,
The power of the family has risen to the extreme,
The king and the horse share the world.
Now the emperor became the spokesperson, and the real power was in the hands of the major clans.
The following Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties also changed the soup without changing the medicine.
But when we get here..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, filled with blazing fire,
A fire sweeping the world!
“We just don’t want to compromise!
We have to conquer them all! "
Zhu Xiongying froze on the spot,
The existence of aristocratic families runs throughout Chinese history.
Ordinary people can't get involved at all.
People want money and power, and power;
It also monopolizes culture.
Take the imperial examination as an example.
It seems to have opened a way for ordinary people, but in fact, the people who benefit the most are the children of wealthy families.
People pay attention to collecting books.
Hide the books at home and show them to your children.
Those stupid people who want to advance to the imperial examination,
Not even a book,
Why are you comparing yourself to others?
It is no exaggeration to say,
Some things are determined from the moment of birth.
There may be some outliers rising from humble families,
But very few,
There are only a few out of such a large base.
But what about the family?
The proportion of successful people is much higher than that of ordinary people!
this is the truth,
This is the most real world.
Zhu Xiongying suddenly thought of something,
I couldn't help but ask,
"Grandpa, who is the other emperor who doesn't compromise with the nobles?"
