Video through history: the beginning of the inventory of ten kings

half year later.

In the huge palace, five dragon chairs were placed side by side, and Ying Zheng's five people sat high on them.

"Report!"

"General Huo Qubing broke through the capital of the Huns yesterday, beheading more than [-] followers of his leader Liu Meng's subordinates, and now he is chasing Liu Meng who is fleeing along the way..."

"Report!"

"General Shi Shouxin, according to Liu Bowen's strategy, wiped out the elite of Sima Yue outside Donghai City yesterday. Donghai City has fallen into an undefended place and is expected to be taken within three days..."

"Report!"

"General Cheng Yaojin successfully annihilated the coalition of dozens of princes west of the Huai River, and now many princes have announced their surrender..."

As the soldiers came in and out, the good news of the front also came like snowflakes.

And the five emperors on the dragon chair all had smiles on their faces.

It's only been half a year!
The Western Jin Dynasty, which was originally troubled by internal and external troubles, has been successfully pacified by himself and others.

Rebels, aliens, not a single one!
"Good job!"

Listening to the news coming from all directions, Li Shimin couldn't help but say:
"If it wasn't for wasting too much time on the road, the mere alien races could be wiped out with a wave of hands!"

"Cough cough."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the side, coughed twice, and then said:

"Everyone, now the internal rebellion and external barbarians in the Western Jin Dynasty have been suppressed by us."

"Then next..."

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and looked at the people around him.

"Should we start other things?"

"This……"

The four Ying Zheng heard the words, exchanged glances with each other, and immediately asked.

"I don't know what Brother Zhu is referring to..."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the side, smiled and clapped his hands.

Then, a eunuch brought Liu Bowen into the court.

"Everyone, please see."

Taking a map from Liu Bowen's hand, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his finger.

"Now, the military aspect we have done."

"It's the turn of Western Jin politics."

"Although when we entered Luoyang earlier, we drove Emperor Hui of Jin and all his courtiers out of the palace and replaced them with five of us."

"But across the country, there are countless families."

"According to the history I understand, when the Sima clan usurped Cao Wei's political power, there were still many aristocratic families left over from the Three Kingdoms period to support Cao Wei."

"Therefore, in order to consolidate their status, the Sima family has established close relationships with noble families around the world through a series of means such as marriage."

"And with this relationship, noble families in various places are becoming more and more rampant, and they have made a fortune on the heads of the people, wantonly looting the people's fat and the people's ointment."

"The family in the early days may have helped the Sima clan to consolidate their rule, but now they are the moths of this country, corroding the lifeblood of this country."

"Therefore, in my opinion, if you want to recast the order of this world, the family's troubles must be resolved!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang licked his lips somewhat indifferently.

He has been looking forward to this day for a long time!

He didn't do much when fighting aliens, and now he can't miss anything in killing the family!
"The family... it's time to clean up!"

Li Shimin and the others looked at each other and nodded again.

Aristocratic family is a headache for every emperor.

There is no doubt that aristocratic families can help their rule, but a little carelessness can also become the source of their own destruction.

This is a double-edged sword!

"Brother Zhu is a good suggestion."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, first agreed, but then frowned.

"It's just that we don't understand the situation of the family in the Western Jin Dynasty. How should we go about it?"

"Brother Liu, don't worry." Zhu Yuanzhang patted his chest and pointed to the countless marks on the map, "I was already prepared."

"According to my investigation, among these aristocratic families in the Western Jin Dynasty, the four major families of Shan, Yang, Wang, and Du are the largest. As long as we use them to make a knife, we can kill the chickens and warn the monkeys."

"only……"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said with some scruples:

"How to punish these noble families still needs your opinions."

The words fell, and Li Shimin and others fell into silence.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are naturally reasonable, but the family can't be killed with a stick.

Therefore, they also each considered the next steps.

"so."

Zhao Kuangyin saw that everyone was silent, so he took the lead and said:

"I can wait..."

He continued talking, and the other four listened carefully, adding some supplements from time to time.

Soon, the measures against the family were completely finalized!

………………

the next day.

A joint announcement of the five emperors spread all over the world from the imperial city of Luoyang.

First, to set up schools in the country, and to change the traditional method of selecting talents from the system of filial piety and integrity to the imperial examination, and select ministers according to the test scores!

Second, the establishment of Jinyiwei is responsible for monitoring the movements of major families.

Third, establish a listening room in the palace, responsible for assisting in handling government affairs, and only responsible for the emperor!

fourth……

With the issuance of a series of [-] announcements, various families reacted differently.

But some really far-sighted families were completely panicked.

At first glance, these news are nothing, but each one is a heavy blow to him!
What is the reason why the family can last for a hundred years without falling?
Relying on is the monopoly of educational knowledge, so that the children of their own clan who read books become talents for governing the country, and the children who practice martial arts become generals.

In this way, no matter how the dynasties changed, the rulers had to rely on themselves.

after all,

Hard to support alone.

No matter how worthy the emperor is, without the assistance of talents, his dynasty is destined to not last long.

And as long as talents are used, the power of aristocratic families is inevitably needed.

This is the reason why the family has stood for thousands of years!
But now, as soon as the notice came out, the educational monopoly of himself and others was broken, and the minister was no longer just selected from the disciples of his own clan.

Moreover, the establishment of this hearing room is even more murderous.

The emperor's order directly skipped the ministers from the aristocratic family, and was issued by his own cronies!

How can this make families around the world reconciled?
So,
On the second day after the notice was issued, the Shan clan took the lead, Yang clan, Wang clan, Du clan, Li clan and other dozens of aristocratic families responded jointly and rebelled in Donghai City.

And not long after that, other aristocratic families from all over the country also joined.

almost in an instant,

The Western Jin Dynasty, which had just calmed down, once again set off a wave of turbulence.

But unfortunately.

This is because the aristocratic family doesn't even know who their opponent is!
Under the joint strangulation of the elites of the five emperors, it took less than half a month, and the vigorous allied army of aristocratic families was destroyed.

And dozens of powerful aristocratic families, such as Shan and Yang, led by them,
Because of Ying Zheng's words, tens of thousands of people fell to the ground and blood flowed into rivers.

So far, the once arrogant family has completely declined.

even,
In the entire Western Jin Dynasty, no family dared to call themselves an aristocratic family!
