Chapter 73 The Red Mansion Xie Queen
The queen mother is a very easy-going old lady, which made Shu Yun feel relieved. If she really meets a difficult mother-in-law, it is really not an easy thing to do in this era.Shu Yun didn't really care about palace affairs or anything else. Even if she hadn't recovered her previous memories, she wasn't a worthless person.No matter what management is, the core is two things, one is finance and the other is personnel.As for finances, there is nothing to talk about. Each level has corresponding treatment. It is nothing more than that you are favored and you have rights. Then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be more ingratiating, but it is within the rules and there will be no extras. the benefits of.
The key is personnel affairs. There are different types of palace people in the palace. For example, ordinary palace ladies are selected by the people. Generally, women from poor families will enter the palace to be palace maids. People who love their daughters are generally selected. The maid of honor, even if you are robbing a marriage on the road, you have to arrange for your daughter first. After all, even if you are serving the sage, you are also serving others, and you can only leave the palace after 25 years old, and some even have to wait until 30 years old. I'm old enough to be a grandmother, what else can I do after leaving the palace?Those who can be hired by a rich family to be nuns would not be too bad in the palace, but most people can't make it out.
On the contrary, female officials, except for a small number who are promoted by court ladies, are usually born in official and gentry families. For this kind, they can usually leave the palace before the age of 25, and although they can no longer receive salary after leaving the palace, they can still maintain their corresponding status. In addition, female officials generally serve concubines, so it is easier to get in touch with the emperor, and they may have a chance to be favored. Therefore, there are still some people who are not high enough in marriage who are willing to enter the palace to do Lady's.
In the palace, because the maids and officials are leaving, in fact, for most people, apart from those nuns who swore to groom themselves early and are unwilling to leave the palace, the eunuchs are more trustworthy.As for these eunuchs, most of them came from desperate families. In addition, some of them committed serious crimes at home. They were young. They couldn’t be killed together. It’s too inhumane. Well, in order to prevent them from having any rebellious thoughts in the future, they simply cut it across the board and sent them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to work.
The House of Internal Affairs of the Dajing Dynasty was different from that of the Qing Dynasty. It was not the coats that were in charge, but eunuchs at all levels. That's really not easy to do!Among other things, the people assigned to each palace are actually selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you really offend them, they have a lot of ways to make you suffer.Of course, it can also make you comfortable for the people they want to curry favor with.
Therefore, on the one hand, mastering the power of the palace can lead to a more comfortable life. On the other hand, mastering the power of personnel to a certain extent, you can choose some slaves from the Ministry of Internal Affairs with cleaner backgrounds, and even some families can completely let their own The tenants entered the palace through the channel of folk selection of maids, and then it fell into their own hands as a matter of course!
As for Shu Yun, after she took control of the palace power, she immediately set up a joint system. In the whole palace, at least two people should be together to supervise each other, and they are not allowed to leave the other party's sight. , once there is any problem, both of them are responsible.In my own palace, what is required is that the responsibility be assigned to the individual. If anyone does not do something well, then they will be punished according to the palace rules. Generally speaking, they will be fined a monthly fee, and then they will be returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a new person. If it is serious, it will naturally be sent directly to the Department of Punishment.
Even during Shu Yun's confinement period, the fence of Changchun Palace was quite tight, so Shu Yun didn't think about those things for the time being.
But the queen mother is really worried about other concubines. The queen mother suffered a lot when she was a queen.The Empress Dowager's biological mother was born in Xiaojia Biyu. After her husband died, she was in a state of confusion and was almost confused by her natal family. As for the Empress Dowager, when she was at home, she didn't take care of many things. After all, there were only two masters in the family, a mother and a daughter. , the relatives of her natal family are trying to embezzle the property left by her father, and they want her uncles and cousins to take over some of the political inheritance left by her father. The family has fallen apart completely.
There are only two masters in the family. Even if there is a title, the queen mother gave a marriage to the Taizong who was still the prince at that time. However, there are not many servants in the family, and there are not many things to take care of. It also hit a lot of walls inside.
If it wasn't for Emperor Taizong's support and arranging a few capable female officials for her, she would gradually straighten out the affairs in the palace.Later, as many concubines had sons, each of them had ambitions. Sometimes, the queen mother was actually glad that the late emperor left early, and people's hearts were changeable. If the late emperor lived for too long, he would have too many grown-up sons. , Then, can you really continue to treat your mother and child as before?
Shu Yun's mother and son were almost in danger before, and the Queen Mother actually felt the same way.Everyone was born as a big wife, so naturally they stand in the same position. Under such circumstances, the queen mother would rather work harder on her own, and she is not willing to let those concubines gain power and threaten her grandchildren.
Therefore, after the child was born for a hundred days, the Queen Mother directly proposed to let Shu Yun take over the palace affairs: "Queen, I think you have almost recovered now, you should take over the affairs of the palace, and let me The old lady enjoys the happiness!"
After hearing this, Shu Yun quickly said: "It's the daughter-in-law's fault for letting the queen mother worry about it! Now that the queen mother has said so, the daughter-in-law will not dare to be lazy anymore! But if the daughter-in-law is not thoughtful in the future, she will have to pay back later." I am asking my mother to help me make it up!"
The queen mother smiled and said: "You have always been a thoughtful person, but before, you were too kind, and now you have a son, so, where you should be tough, you still have to be tough!"
Shu Yun agreed, but muttered in his heart, Situ Min is not a person who is considerate, he always only looks at the results and does whatever he wants, he likes the kind of gentle and expressive words, if he really behaves Being tough, who knows what he thought when he turned around.
Shu Yun calculated the timeline before, and found that Situ Min had been emperor for a really long time, among other things, when the Red Mansion opened, Jia Zheng even had a grandson, and he should be 50 or [-] years old no matter what. Now, Jia Daishan is just a concubine, and his wife Shi Shi is not pregnant yet!Now Jia Yuan and his wife are still in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Daishan has not inherited the title.
Therefore, Situ Min can at least live another four to fifty years!Shu Yun pondered, Situ Min is so able to live, the possibility of his son ascending to the throne is really relatively small, after all, as the emperor gets old, the sons below are no longer sons, they are all competitors, he will Prioritize the removal of more competitive competitors.
This made Shu Yun feel dizzy. She was not worried that she would not survive Situ Min, but that her son would not survive this father.
Situ Min is obviously not someone who can allow his wife to do all kinds of deviant things, so Shu Yun can only subtly educate his children. Perhaps it would be a good idea to let his son lead the industrial revolution matter?
Situ Min still valued his son-in-law very much. After half a year, the child was finally given the name Situ Xian.All nations are constitutional, which shows Situ Min's expectations for this son-in-law.Of course, this also made the biological mothers of the other two princes drink a stomach full of sour water. Looking at the two sons in front, one Situ Kuan and the other Situ Shi, the meaning of the word Xian is too far behind.
However, no matter how sad your heart is, everyone has to congratulate you on the face. After all, even if he is a little younger, he is still a descendant of the Yuan Dynasty. His status is noble, and his name has a better meaning. What's wrong?In particular, the matter of Concubine Qing was still there before, and each of these concubines became more cautious. If they can be favored and promoted in the palace, it is naturally impossible for them to be some spotless white lotuses. They are all scheming of.When the queen was giving birth, there were quite a few who wished that the queen would be gone. Therefore, although it is said that the emperor has no intention of continuing to investigate, who knows if there is someone secretly monitoring the harem?With such worries, everyone stopped a lot, which relieved Shu Yun a lot.
Shu Yun doesn't want to care too much about these concubines, but not caring about it doesn't mean that he is weak and can be bullied. Shu Yun's advantages in this life are much worse than those in the previous two lives. Situ Min is too affectionate, Shu Yun still has to worry about him now Therefore, many things cannot be done at all, so, in order to prevent these concubines from doing something secretly, Shu Yun needs to put in a lot of effort, which makes her feel really exhausted physically and mentally.
The only thing that can comfort Shu Yun is the children. Even after giving birth to so many children, in Shu Yun's heart, children are pure and lovely. When he sees them, he can't help but soften his heart.What's more, in this world, women are more constrained, so Shu Yun can only pin his desire to change the world on this child. If this child is not enough, then give birth to a few more!
As a planter, Situ Min is really too qualified. Concubine Shu also broke out that she was pregnant in the late stage of Shu Yun's pregnancy, and now it is ripe, and she gave birth to a daughter.Concubine Shu has been pregnant many times over the years, and now her complexion is really bad. The imperial physician once advised her not to get pregnant so frequently, but she didn't want to, but she was easy to get pregnant, and she even secretly boiled the soup. Some blood-invigorating spices are also used, but often before the child can crawl and sit, he hears the imperial doctor smiling: "Congratulations, empress, you are happy!" It's almost crazy, okay!After becoming pregnant, experienced palace maids will naturally take away all kinds of things that are not good for pregnancy, and then she can only raise the baby honestly.Moreover, compared to giving birth, abortion has a worse impact on the body. In this era, abortion through drugs will even leave some sequelae, which will cause serious damage to the body. Concubine Shu does not want to die early.
Concubine Shu now has a deep sense of fear about having a child. She feels that every time she conceives a child, she is robbing her vitality, but she dare not refuse the favor of the Holy Majesty. Now she sees herself haggard and yellow, It would be nice to have a very good color, but Concubine Shu was relieved. Others were busy making tonics for her, making all kinds of soups for conditioning the body, but Concubine Shu didn’t want to drink at all. The Holy One loves her Now that she has been giving birth continuously, and she is so old, I am afraid that the Holy Majesty will hate it if she sees it. She would rather not be favored in the future than regenerate. If she regenerates, she is really going to die!
Concubine Shu felt that her two children were enough now, and her child would not be able to take that position anyway, so it would be good to be honest in the future. Therefore, after confinement, Concubine Shu directly expressed to Shu Yun It means to surrender, in short, I don't want to compete for favor in the future, I just want to raise the two children safely, so, empress, please help me, it is best to let the emperor forget me!
Shu Yun could understand Concubine Shu's thoughts very well. Concubine Shu had no intention of having more children when she entered the palace. She was sent by her family to show her submission, so even if she didn't have children, it wouldn't have much impact.After all, what His Majesty values is her looks, not her ability to bear children!But the problem is, if she really continues to give birth, the problem will become serious. Even if she doesn't run out of money because of this, in the future, her children will definitely be involved in things that she doesn't want to be involved in.
Concubine Shu is a smart person, and she cherishes herself more. In fact, this kind of person would not do extreme things. Shu Yun is quite at ease with Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu's appearance is much worse now than before. Situ Min is a standard face control. No matter how bad the harem is, she is still a delicate and beautiful woman. Situ Min doesn't even take a look at the ones with a slightly worse appearance.He later heard from the imperial physician that the reason why Concubine Shu is like this is because she has given birth repeatedly and her vitality has been greatly damaged, which can hardly be made up for. With his beauty and figure, Situ Min suddenly felt a little annoyed. If he knew this, he should have given Concubine Shu Bizi Tang before, but he never thought that even if Concubine Shu secretly ate Bizi Tang, it would be of no use.
For Bizi Decoction, the recipes used inside the palace are fundamentally different from those used outside the palace. The former one uses some cold medicinal materials as much as possible, and you have to pay attention to the monarch and ministers. The medicine should be milder. Of course, the effect is, It's even worse!The latter one is usually used in places like brothels and teaching workshops. The main function of it is poisonous minerals such as cinnabar and even mercury. This kind of damage is permanent. The problem is, who dares to use it? How about giving Concubine Shu something like this?Impatient to live now!
Concubine Shu had withdrawn from the competition for favor, while the others suddenly became more active.Situ Min has several sons now, and he is still young, so he is not in a hurry to have a son. Therefore, after favoring those concubines, he directly expressed that he would not keep them, which also led to two or three years in a row. No further children were born.It made the queen mother worry, and then she intervened, and Situ Min stopped, and no longer intentionally let the concubine who was favored by her concubine contraceptive.
As for Shu Yun, it seems that she is honestly taking care of the harem, raising Situ Xian, and fulfilling her responsibilities as a queen. In fact, by summoning her wife, she occasionally sends people out of the palace to manage her, the queen's property outside the palace. The news brought back, coupled with his own memory, and the occasional things that Situ Min said, without making a fuss, he already had a certain understanding of the things in the court.
It took only more than 40 years for the founding of the country, and many of the founding heroes are still alive today, and they are still alive and well.As for the late emperor, he was also a person who often went to the battlefield in person, and he was always known for his bravery. Therefore, he has always been quite close to the nobles. As for Situ Min, when he was in school, his companions were almost all nobles. Origin, like Jia Daishan, is the one he is closest to.
Under such circumstances, the nobles in the court are still quite powerful.But this does not mean that Situ Min is very indulgent or dependent on the nobles. In fact, Situ Min has been working hard to divide the camp of these nobles.
The most important thing that makes Situ Min more upset are the four kings with different surnames. On the one hand, these few people, on the one hand, brought their own dry food to seek refuge with Taizu. He is still the nephew of Emperor Taizu, and even the kings of Xiping County and Nan'an County were warlords in those days. Emperor Taizu was broad-minded, and after accepting them, he allowed them to continue to lead troops to fight and make new contributions many times. In this way, after the founding of the country, on the one hand, their contributions were indeed not fake, on the other hand, in their hands He still holds the military power, and there are many loyal old minions in his hands. Even in order to appease these people, he was able to be named king of a different surname.
From the time of the first emperor, the royal family wanted to deprive the military power in the hands of kings with different surnames. After all, this was an unstable factor for Dajing.The problem is that these kings with different surnames are not fools. Military power is the root of their wealth and status. If it is really handed over, there will be no title of county king, and they can only be slaughtered in Beijing.Therefore, the king of Xining County stayed in the northwest all year round, expressing his desire to defend against the intrusion of the Beirong people.As for the king of Nan'an County, he also brought his own generals to station on the southeast coast all year round.
The lineage of the Dongping County King is quite interesting. This is because the old County King has passed away. At that time, the current Dongping County King was still young and did not have enough prestige. Their family was originally guarding the southwest side, defending The remnants of the Shu Kingdom back then, turned out to be caught by a local Miao village, and those people did the crime themselves. They originally wanted to use the power of the Miao Village to protect themselves and even restore the country, but in the end, they used the beauty trick to lure The only daughter of the head of the family, in fact, he already has a wife in his family!Miao girl is indeed passionate, but she is not a fool to be fooled by others. Therefore, the other side is still talking sweetly, saying that she will abandon her first wife when she turns around. He kidnapped his own father, tied up these people and sent them to the government, in exchange for the canonization of the court, he became a decent native official, and could pass on from generation to generation.
Without the reason of the remnants of the Shu Kingdom, the King of Dongping County can't stay in the southwest, and the royal family is quite satisfied with their acquaintance. Now the wife of the King of Dongping County is Situ Min's aunt, the younger sister of the first emperor, Anping Da. The eldest princess can be regarded as half of the royal family, and the military power in the southwest was naturally taken over by the imperial court, and it is considered to have ceased now.
As for the lineage of Beijing County King, it was originally closely related to the royal family. The old County King was the nephew of Emperor Taizu and the cousin of Emperor Taizong. Not long after the founding of the country, he honestly handed over his In terms of military power, the Emperor Taizu asked him to concurrently serve as the military governor of the Beijing camp, and he also served as the military governor of the five cities.The one who is succeeding now also married a royal princess. He was obsessed with articles, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and later he was ordered to compile and publish the royal collection of books. Pai, quite well-known among the literati, the late Emperor and Situ Min were quite gracious to their lineage, and often rewarded them.
These two families no longer have a hand in military matters, but the other two were originally from warlords, no more closely related to the royal family than these two, they have been guarding against the royal family!Situ Min naturally continued the policy of the former emperor, trying to find a way to establish the relationship between these two families and other families, and then find an opportunity to seize the military power in their hands. Push them back, and turning back is another trouble.
In the eyes of many people who don't know the truth, the four kings and eight princes are a whole, and everyone is a family friend. When the country was first founded, many of them ate food from the same pot, but in fact, even Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, both It can't be of one heart, Jia Yuan and Jia Yan are still brothers, and it's impossible to advance and retreat together in everything now.Among other things, the two brothers are now relegated to the second line. Jia Yan's lineage is the long house, the patriarch of the Jia family. It stands to reason that many things should be dominated by Ningguo Mansion, but Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua As the legitimate sons of the two families, in terms of ability, they are not even close to each other, but Jia Daihua just isn't as good as Jia Dai and received the respect of the emperor.Even if there is a reason why Jia Daishan was the emperor's accompanying reader, but this is already biased.Seeing the rising momentum of the Rongguo Mansion, many members of the clan would inevitably follow the Rongguo Mansion in order to gain more benefits, but they were perfunctory towards the patriarch.
That is to say, the man in the family can still hold back, otherwise, the two families would have been at odds by now.
There are many things, that is, not worrying about the few but the unevenness. Jia Daishan was reused as the second generation of the nobles. The granddaughter entered the palace and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. Generations don't have to worry about it!And in those other mansions, those whose children and grandchildren are promising are good, and those whose children and grandchildren are not promising, they can only be controlled by the older generation. However, as it is today, there is no chance of fighting except for occasional conflicts on the border. .Not to mention meritorious service, it is impossible to gain military power, but each of them is not reconciled, and has to spend a lot of money to support the family members, hoping that there will be opportunities in the future.
With no battles, no military achievements, and no need for you, then, for these nobles, decline is inevitable, but it is not obvious now.As for wanting to switch from military to literary, it is much more difficult than a scholar who throws a pen and joins the army. In fact, compared to practicing martial arts, reading is not easy to achieve results. It depends on talent, hard work, and luck.
Under normal circumstances, as long as one is average in appearance, the level of effort is not a problem, the psychological quality is not a problem, and there are famous teachers to point out the key points, then it is not a big problem to be a scholar.Before Tongsheng, most of the exams were based on rote memorization, but when you take the exam for scholar, you need to write essays, which requires someone to guide you. This is why some old Tongsheng never pass the exam for scholar. .It's not that they don't work hard, it's just that no one breaks the joints, and they can't get it right!
Except for those rare and rare books, you can’t buy them from noble families. Now that the printing technology is so developed, you can also buy books annotated by great Confucians in the past dynasties in bookstores, but it’s not like buying a book and knowing the characters. Nowadays, these books generally do not have sentence reading, or only have simple sentence reading. Just punctuating the sentence is enough. As for the interpretation, it is just like the later generations of students doing classical Chinese reading comprehension. It is absolutely impossible to just explain the superficial meaning. , you have to dig out the extended meaning inside.Looking at these, is it possible to learn without a teacher?The problem is, those civil servants and great Confucians, their own disciples can't teach them, how can they come to teach these honorable children!These days, disciples and students are not the same as those of later generations. Assuming the status, one has to bear the responsibility. A person's title is worth so much, and it is worthless if it is used more times!
What kind of teacher can they choose for their children?Most of them are down-and-out literati from poor families. Most of these people are losers in the imperial examination, or they have a certain element of luck. .
When the country was founded, there were actually quite a few civil servants who were knighted. These families were originally scholars from generation to generation.For example, the Lin family, which was also enshrined as a marquis, still took the imperial examinations from generation to generation, and all followed the path of civil servants.This Lin family is the Lin family from which Lin Daiyu later came out. Their family was able to become a marquis because their ancestors worked as counselors for the emperor of the Tai clan, and they did some tricks. The pulse was so single that some people wondered whether the first generation of Lord Lin Hou had too many sinister ideas and too many murders, so that he came to this situation. After all, there is nothing wrong with the Lin family's descendants. Why has their team been so difficult?
Shu Yun thought that the reason why Lin Hai married the Rongguo Mansion was because the previous generations died too early, and Lin Hai couldn't find much help from the civil servants, so he had to marry the Jia family.As for Jia Daishan, the reason why he agreed to this was because he found that his son would not be able to inherit his power in the army, and his descendants could only study for imperial examinations in order to maintain their family.One family is knowledgeable, one family is powerful, a perfect match!
When Lin Hai first became an official, he should have received some help from the Jia family, maybe not too much, but there should be some.As a result, after Jia Daishan's death, the Jia family didn't take advantage of this relationship at all. Among other things, Lin Hai, a flower lover, if he is willing to help the Jia family's TIAO teach the next generation of children, even if he doesn't teach it himself, recommend some capable people It's never hard for Mr.Those children of the Jia family, not to mention a Jinshi, but a few more scholars, there is no problem!As a result, the family education of the Jia family was managed by a so-called old Confucian Jia Dairu. What about students?So much so that the family learns to the end, it can't be called a school at all!
Even if Lin Hai passed away, what about the relatives of the Lin family?Over there is also the heirloom of farming and reading of the times!As a result, the whole family was short-sighted and couldn't think of this level at all!In order to annihilate the Lin family's property, relying on the power of the Duke's Mansion, the Lin family was severely offended. In the matter of studying for the imperial examination, can the Lin family help the Jia family?It's almost a dream!
Generally speaking, noble families are at most powerful people from the top of the locality. Most of them are mud-legged, like the two brothers Jia Yan and Jia Yuan. When they were in Jinling, their family originally had a field of several tens of acres. , But first, when there was a natural disaster, the court not only refused to provide relief, but also blindly extorted money. The brother and two parents died of illness one after another, and a lot of money was spent on medical treatment and funeral for them. Finally, the family land could not be kept. I still owe a whole lot of debt, which is said to be the price of conscience, so the two brothers simply didn't pay it back, and took some fellow villagers who were also unable to survive, and sent those who came to ask for debts. After being beaten up by the dog leg, he ran to join the rebel army. Later, he heard that Taizu had improved a bit. He thought that he was from the same country, and he used to be from the regular army, not like other so-called rebel soldiers. , In fact, they are bandits, they always have to be more reliable, and then they run over to join them, and this is how they have the family business later.
It is not easy for such a family to abandon martial arts and go to literature. If they want to go to literature, they have to take the exam no matter what. There is no guarantee that the children in the family will be able to pass the exam. People like them can't find such a good teacher!As for entering the Guozijian, hehe, Yinsheng is mixed with Yinsheng, and those gentlemen also discriminate against these Enyin's children. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Under this environment, they can still maintain Aspirant, that's really not much!
In addition, few of the honorable families are actually thinking about transferring the text. What they want more is to continue to hold military power, rather than let their descendants join the camp of civilian officials.Just like civil officials look down on military generals, military generals also look down on civil officials!
The problem is, no matter how capable they are, if the emperor doesn't use them, everything will be useless.With so many resources, it is inevitable that there will be some discord between a group of sons and nobles who want to scramble for it. After a long time, even real relatives will fall out, not to mention the so-called family friends who were forced together.When everyone stands on the same starting line, they are called family friends, and when they are separated, they are poor relatives.The rich relatives will feel that the poor relatives always come to play the autumn wind, which is particularly annoying, and the poor relatives will also feel that their family has been rich before. If they hadn't been robbed of their opportunities, they might not have fallen into poverty.
In this way, naturally the nobles will split up, and they can break through individually.
It's not that the people of Situ's family crossed the river and demolished the bridge. It's that the military power has been in the hands of one power for a long time, and accidents are easy to happen. Under such circumstances, for the sake of both parties, everyone should take a step back.Situ Min felt that if these nobles were willing to be loyal to him and honestly give up their military power, or in other words, don't get involved in military power for a long time and turn Dajing's soldiers and horses into their family's soldiers and horses, then the imperial court is willing to give them a certain amount of money. Honor, even if you want to favor descendants, the court can accept it.But, if they hold on to the military power one by one, they can't be said to be heroes of the founding of the country, but they are likely to become rebellious officials and thieves!Situ Min didn't want the imperial power to be checked and balanced by these nobles with military power.
Among the nobles nowadays, those at the level of four princes and eight princes are not bad. Even if they are marginalized, they still maintain a certain influence in the court, but some low-level titles are not very high. Now after the death of the elders, the sons The titles that can be inherited will be demoted to a higher level, and some will even be demoted to the third class if the emperor doesn't like them. Du Wei, Yun Qiwei and other lords can't do anything at all, and the juetian they can get will naturally shrink further. If they don't have a real job, it will be very difficult to support a family.
But these people don't have much influence in the first place, so even if they are a little dissatisfied, they can't make any troubles. In the end, they can only find a way to seek refuge with their old boss, hoping that the old boss can help them. The problem is that people can't take care of their own children. How can they have so many resources to help their former subordinates?
In a sense, Tai Zu is considered stingy, and the title cannot be hereditary, but why, he does not give these old subordinates other than fighting, there is no other way out, anyway, the royal family does not lack Talents, especially when the world is peaceful, don't need many talents who can fight.
After learning about this, Shu Yun felt a little helpless. Throughout the dynasties, military generals seemed to have some precautions, not to mention that nobles usually retire with the country, so why did Zhao Kuangyin go back then? It wasn't because of the yellow robe ?As for the middle and late Tang Dynasty, weren't those warlords also the Jiedu envoys trusted by the imperial court?To put it bluntly, all the conflicts are due to the distribution of benefits. They have already eaten up the pies that were distributed to them before, and now they can only stare at others, hoping that others can share some to fill their stomachs, but no one thinks. However, make the pie bigger.
Fortunately, this kind of thing is not serious, but in the future, these will be problems. The court feels that giving these nobles the wealth of several generations is already doing their best to them, and the nobles feel that if our ancestors did not fight bravely to kill Enemy, what is the name of the world is not certain, so it is only natural for us to want more benefits.Such a contradiction is actually very difficult to resolve, and even if it is resolved, it can only be resolved temporarily.The imperial court could not completely get rid of the honorable class, because without this group, those who directly confronted the civilian class would be those generals who had no foundation. If you have an advantage, you may become a vassal of the civil servants in the future.At that time, it will once again enter the period when the imperial power directly confronts the civil servants.
Situ Min can't think of such a far-reaching thing now, he feels that he is quite correct, besides, he didn't really kill all the nobles, like Jia Daishan, and Dong'an County King whose family married the eldest princess, aren't they all quite good? okay?
The four kings with different surnames got the promise of Taizu back then, and they can be hereditary for three generations. Jing County King and Dong'an County King have inherited the second generation, and the Nan'an County King and Xining County King who hold military power in their hands are both old county kings of the same generation as Emperor Taizu!This is too much to live with.
In fact, Shu Yun has no prejudice against civil servants and nobles. In other words, Shu Yun can best understand the virtues of bureaucrats. Regardless of civil servants or generals, when the bottom line is lost, everyone is the same, and no one can say anything!The reason why it seems that the court has always been in civil strife is because the cake is not big enough and there is nothing else to do. Therefore, whether it is the emperor or the courtiers below, in the end, everyone is trying to balance and fight.
It's just that Shu Yun's mind is full of thoughts now, but because of the situation, she can't do anything at all, which makes her feel very aggrieved.She has no one to use outside, and the Xie family doesn't want to get the benefits of nepotism. Xie Shen told Shu Yun at the beginning, don't expect anything from the emperor, the emperor is the most turning-faced creature, so, Even if she has a son, the Xie family will not help her win the heir, lest the entire Xie family be dragged into trouble.like
The key is personnel affairs. There are different types of palace people in the palace. For example, ordinary palace ladies are selected by the people. Generally, women from poor families will enter the palace to be palace maids. People who love their daughters are generally selected. The maid of honor, even if you are robbing a marriage on the road, you have to arrange for your daughter first. After all, even if you are serving the sage, you are also serving others, and you can only leave the palace after 25 years old, and some even have to wait until 30 years old. I'm old enough to be a grandmother, what else can I do after leaving the palace?Those who can be hired by a rich family to be nuns would not be too bad in the palace, but most people can't make it out.
On the contrary, female officials, except for a small number who are promoted by court ladies, are usually born in official and gentry families. For this kind, they can usually leave the palace before the age of 25, and although they can no longer receive salary after leaving the palace, they can still maintain their corresponding status. In addition, female officials generally serve concubines, so it is easier to get in touch with the emperor, and they may have a chance to be favored. Therefore, there are still some people who are not high enough in marriage who are willing to enter the palace to do Lady's.
In the palace, because the maids and officials are leaving, in fact, for most people, apart from those nuns who swore to groom themselves early and are unwilling to leave the palace, the eunuchs are more trustworthy.As for these eunuchs, most of them came from desperate families. In addition, some of them committed serious crimes at home. They were young. They couldn’t be killed together. It’s too inhumane. Well, in order to prevent them from having any rebellious thoughts in the future, they simply cut it across the board and sent them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to work.
The House of Internal Affairs of the Dajing Dynasty was different from that of the Qing Dynasty. It was not the coats that were in charge, but eunuchs at all levels. That's really not easy to do!Among other things, the people assigned to each palace are actually selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you really offend them, they have a lot of ways to make you suffer.Of course, it can also make you comfortable for the people they want to curry favor with.
Therefore, on the one hand, mastering the power of the palace can lead to a more comfortable life. On the other hand, mastering the power of personnel to a certain extent, you can choose some slaves from the Ministry of Internal Affairs with cleaner backgrounds, and even some families can completely let their own The tenants entered the palace through the channel of folk selection of maids, and then it fell into their own hands as a matter of course!
As for Shu Yun, after she took control of the palace power, she immediately set up a joint system. In the whole palace, at least two people should be together to supervise each other, and they are not allowed to leave the other party's sight. , once there is any problem, both of them are responsible.In my own palace, what is required is that the responsibility be assigned to the individual. If anyone does not do something well, then they will be punished according to the palace rules. Generally speaking, they will be fined a monthly fee, and then they will be returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a new person. If it is serious, it will naturally be sent directly to the Department of Punishment.
Even during Shu Yun's confinement period, the fence of Changchun Palace was quite tight, so Shu Yun didn't think about those things for the time being.
But the queen mother is really worried about other concubines. The queen mother suffered a lot when she was a queen.The Empress Dowager's biological mother was born in Xiaojia Biyu. After her husband died, she was in a state of confusion and was almost confused by her natal family. As for the Empress Dowager, when she was at home, she didn't take care of many things. After all, there were only two masters in the family, a mother and a daughter. , the relatives of her natal family are trying to embezzle the property left by her father, and they want her uncles and cousins to take over some of the political inheritance left by her father. The family has fallen apart completely.
There are only two masters in the family. Even if there is a title, the queen mother gave a marriage to the Taizong who was still the prince at that time. However, there are not many servants in the family, and there are not many things to take care of. It also hit a lot of walls inside.
If it wasn't for Emperor Taizong's support and arranging a few capable female officials for her, she would gradually straighten out the affairs in the palace.Later, as many concubines had sons, each of them had ambitions. Sometimes, the queen mother was actually glad that the late emperor left early, and people's hearts were changeable. If the late emperor lived for too long, he would have too many grown-up sons. , Then, can you really continue to treat your mother and child as before?
Shu Yun's mother and son were almost in danger before, and the Queen Mother actually felt the same way.Everyone was born as a big wife, so naturally they stand in the same position. Under such circumstances, the queen mother would rather work harder on her own, and she is not willing to let those concubines gain power and threaten her grandchildren.
Therefore, after the child was born for a hundred days, the Queen Mother directly proposed to let Shu Yun take over the palace affairs: "Queen, I think you have almost recovered now, you should take over the affairs of the palace, and let me The old lady enjoys the happiness!"
After hearing this, Shu Yun quickly said: "It's the daughter-in-law's fault for letting the queen mother worry about it! Now that the queen mother has said so, the daughter-in-law will not dare to be lazy anymore! But if the daughter-in-law is not thoughtful in the future, she will have to pay back later." I am asking my mother to help me make it up!"
The queen mother smiled and said: "You have always been a thoughtful person, but before, you were too kind, and now you have a son, so, where you should be tough, you still have to be tough!"
Shu Yun agreed, but muttered in his heart, Situ Min is not a person who is considerate, he always only looks at the results and does whatever he wants, he likes the kind of gentle and expressive words, if he really behaves Being tough, who knows what he thought when he turned around.
Shu Yun calculated the timeline before, and found that Situ Min had been emperor for a really long time, among other things, when the Red Mansion opened, Jia Zheng even had a grandson, and he should be 50 or [-] years old no matter what. Now, Jia Daishan is just a concubine, and his wife Shi Shi is not pregnant yet!Now Jia Yuan and his wife are still in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Daishan has not inherited the title.
Therefore, Situ Min can at least live another four to fifty years!Shu Yun pondered, Situ Min is so able to live, the possibility of his son ascending to the throne is really relatively small, after all, as the emperor gets old, the sons below are no longer sons, they are all competitors, he will Prioritize the removal of more competitive competitors.
This made Shu Yun feel dizzy. She was not worried that she would not survive Situ Min, but that her son would not survive this father.
Situ Min is obviously not someone who can allow his wife to do all kinds of deviant things, so Shu Yun can only subtly educate his children. Perhaps it would be a good idea to let his son lead the industrial revolution matter?
Situ Min still valued his son-in-law very much. After half a year, the child was finally given the name Situ Xian.All nations are constitutional, which shows Situ Min's expectations for this son-in-law.Of course, this also made the biological mothers of the other two princes drink a stomach full of sour water. Looking at the two sons in front, one Situ Kuan and the other Situ Shi, the meaning of the word Xian is too far behind.
However, no matter how sad your heart is, everyone has to congratulate you on the face. After all, even if he is a little younger, he is still a descendant of the Yuan Dynasty. His status is noble, and his name has a better meaning. What's wrong?In particular, the matter of Concubine Qing was still there before, and each of these concubines became more cautious. If they can be favored and promoted in the palace, it is naturally impossible for them to be some spotless white lotuses. They are all scheming of.When the queen was giving birth, there were quite a few who wished that the queen would be gone. Therefore, although it is said that the emperor has no intention of continuing to investigate, who knows if there is someone secretly monitoring the harem?With such worries, everyone stopped a lot, which relieved Shu Yun a lot.
Shu Yun doesn't want to care too much about these concubines, but not caring about it doesn't mean that he is weak and can be bullied. Shu Yun's advantages in this life are much worse than those in the previous two lives. Situ Min is too affectionate, Shu Yun still has to worry about him now Therefore, many things cannot be done at all, so, in order to prevent these concubines from doing something secretly, Shu Yun needs to put in a lot of effort, which makes her feel really exhausted physically and mentally.
The only thing that can comfort Shu Yun is the children. Even after giving birth to so many children, in Shu Yun's heart, children are pure and lovely. When he sees them, he can't help but soften his heart.What's more, in this world, women are more constrained, so Shu Yun can only pin his desire to change the world on this child. If this child is not enough, then give birth to a few more!
As a planter, Situ Min is really too qualified. Concubine Shu also broke out that she was pregnant in the late stage of Shu Yun's pregnancy, and now it is ripe, and she gave birth to a daughter.Concubine Shu has been pregnant many times over the years, and now her complexion is really bad. The imperial physician once advised her not to get pregnant so frequently, but she didn't want to, but she was easy to get pregnant, and she even secretly boiled the soup. Some blood-invigorating spices are also used, but often before the child can crawl and sit, he hears the imperial doctor smiling: "Congratulations, empress, you are happy!" It's almost crazy, okay!After becoming pregnant, experienced palace maids will naturally take away all kinds of things that are not good for pregnancy, and then she can only raise the baby honestly.Moreover, compared to giving birth, abortion has a worse impact on the body. In this era, abortion through drugs will even leave some sequelae, which will cause serious damage to the body. Concubine Shu does not want to die early.
Concubine Shu now has a deep sense of fear about having a child. She feels that every time she conceives a child, she is robbing her vitality, but she dare not refuse the favor of the Holy Majesty. Now she sees herself haggard and yellow, It would be nice to have a very good color, but Concubine Shu was relieved. Others were busy making tonics for her, making all kinds of soups for conditioning the body, but Concubine Shu didn’t want to drink at all. The Holy One loves her Now that she has been giving birth continuously, and she is so old, I am afraid that the Holy Majesty will hate it if she sees it. She would rather not be favored in the future than regenerate. If she regenerates, she is really going to die!
Concubine Shu felt that her two children were enough now, and her child would not be able to take that position anyway, so it would be good to be honest in the future. Therefore, after confinement, Concubine Shu directly expressed to Shu Yun It means to surrender, in short, I don't want to compete for favor in the future, I just want to raise the two children safely, so, empress, please help me, it is best to let the emperor forget me!
Shu Yun could understand Concubine Shu's thoughts very well. Concubine Shu had no intention of having more children when she entered the palace. She was sent by her family to show her submission, so even if she didn't have children, it wouldn't have much impact.After all, what His Majesty values is her looks, not her ability to bear children!But the problem is, if she really continues to give birth, the problem will become serious. Even if she doesn't run out of money because of this, in the future, her children will definitely be involved in things that she doesn't want to be involved in.
Concubine Shu is a smart person, and she cherishes herself more. In fact, this kind of person would not do extreme things. Shu Yun is quite at ease with Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu's appearance is much worse now than before. Situ Min is a standard face control. No matter how bad the harem is, she is still a delicate and beautiful woman. Situ Min doesn't even take a look at the ones with a slightly worse appearance.He later heard from the imperial physician that the reason why Concubine Shu is like this is because she has given birth repeatedly and her vitality has been greatly damaged, which can hardly be made up for. With his beauty and figure, Situ Min suddenly felt a little annoyed. If he knew this, he should have given Concubine Shu Bizi Tang before, but he never thought that even if Concubine Shu secretly ate Bizi Tang, it would be of no use.
For Bizi Decoction, the recipes used inside the palace are fundamentally different from those used outside the palace. The former one uses some cold medicinal materials as much as possible, and you have to pay attention to the monarch and ministers. The medicine should be milder. Of course, the effect is, It's even worse!The latter one is usually used in places like brothels and teaching workshops. The main function of it is poisonous minerals such as cinnabar and even mercury. This kind of damage is permanent. The problem is, who dares to use it? How about giving Concubine Shu something like this?Impatient to live now!
Concubine Shu had withdrawn from the competition for favor, while the others suddenly became more active.Situ Min has several sons now, and he is still young, so he is not in a hurry to have a son. Therefore, after favoring those concubines, he directly expressed that he would not keep them, which also led to two or three years in a row. No further children were born.It made the queen mother worry, and then she intervened, and Situ Min stopped, and no longer intentionally let the concubine who was favored by her concubine contraceptive.
As for Shu Yun, it seems that she is honestly taking care of the harem, raising Situ Xian, and fulfilling her responsibilities as a queen. In fact, by summoning her wife, she occasionally sends people out of the palace to manage her, the queen's property outside the palace. The news brought back, coupled with his own memory, and the occasional things that Situ Min said, without making a fuss, he already had a certain understanding of the things in the court.
It took only more than 40 years for the founding of the country, and many of the founding heroes are still alive today, and they are still alive and well.As for the late emperor, he was also a person who often went to the battlefield in person, and he was always known for his bravery. Therefore, he has always been quite close to the nobles. As for Situ Min, when he was in school, his companions were almost all nobles. Origin, like Jia Daishan, is the one he is closest to.
Under such circumstances, the nobles in the court are still quite powerful.But this does not mean that Situ Min is very indulgent or dependent on the nobles. In fact, Situ Min has been working hard to divide the camp of these nobles.
The most important thing that makes Situ Min more upset are the four kings with different surnames. On the one hand, these few people, on the one hand, brought their own dry food to seek refuge with Taizu. He is still the nephew of Emperor Taizu, and even the kings of Xiping County and Nan'an County were warlords in those days. Emperor Taizu was broad-minded, and after accepting them, he allowed them to continue to lead troops to fight and make new contributions many times. In this way, after the founding of the country, on the one hand, their contributions were indeed not fake, on the other hand, in their hands He still holds the military power, and there are many loyal old minions in his hands. Even in order to appease these people, he was able to be named king of a different surname.
From the time of the first emperor, the royal family wanted to deprive the military power in the hands of kings with different surnames. After all, this was an unstable factor for Dajing.The problem is that these kings with different surnames are not fools. Military power is the root of their wealth and status. If it is really handed over, there will be no title of county king, and they can only be slaughtered in Beijing.Therefore, the king of Xining County stayed in the northwest all year round, expressing his desire to defend against the intrusion of the Beirong people.As for the king of Nan'an County, he also brought his own generals to station on the southeast coast all year round.
The lineage of the Dongping County King is quite interesting. This is because the old County King has passed away. At that time, the current Dongping County King was still young and did not have enough prestige. Their family was originally guarding the southwest side, defending The remnants of the Shu Kingdom back then, turned out to be caught by a local Miao village, and those people did the crime themselves. They originally wanted to use the power of the Miao Village to protect themselves and even restore the country, but in the end, they used the beauty trick to lure The only daughter of the head of the family, in fact, he already has a wife in his family!Miao girl is indeed passionate, but she is not a fool to be fooled by others. Therefore, the other side is still talking sweetly, saying that she will abandon her first wife when she turns around. He kidnapped his own father, tied up these people and sent them to the government, in exchange for the canonization of the court, he became a decent native official, and could pass on from generation to generation.
Without the reason of the remnants of the Shu Kingdom, the King of Dongping County can't stay in the southwest, and the royal family is quite satisfied with their acquaintance. Now the wife of the King of Dongping County is Situ Min's aunt, the younger sister of the first emperor, Anping Da. The eldest princess can be regarded as half of the royal family, and the military power in the southwest was naturally taken over by the imperial court, and it is considered to have ceased now.
As for the lineage of Beijing County King, it was originally closely related to the royal family. The old County King was the nephew of Emperor Taizu and the cousin of Emperor Taizong. Not long after the founding of the country, he honestly handed over his In terms of military power, the Emperor Taizu asked him to concurrently serve as the military governor of the Beijing camp, and he also served as the military governor of the five cities.The one who is succeeding now also married a royal princess. He was obsessed with articles, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and later he was ordered to compile and publish the royal collection of books. Pai, quite well-known among the literati, the late Emperor and Situ Min were quite gracious to their lineage, and often rewarded them.
These two families no longer have a hand in military matters, but the other two were originally from warlords, no more closely related to the royal family than these two, they have been guarding against the royal family!Situ Min naturally continued the policy of the former emperor, trying to find a way to establish the relationship between these two families and other families, and then find an opportunity to seize the military power in their hands. Push them back, and turning back is another trouble.
In the eyes of many people who don't know the truth, the four kings and eight princes are a whole, and everyone is a family friend. When the country was first founded, many of them ate food from the same pot, but in fact, even Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, both It can't be of one heart, Jia Yuan and Jia Yan are still brothers, and it's impossible to advance and retreat together in everything now.Among other things, the two brothers are now relegated to the second line. Jia Yan's lineage is the long house, the patriarch of the Jia family. It stands to reason that many things should be dominated by Ningguo Mansion, but Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua As the legitimate sons of the two families, in terms of ability, they are not even close to each other, but Jia Daihua just isn't as good as Jia Dai and received the respect of the emperor.Even if there is a reason why Jia Daishan was the emperor's accompanying reader, but this is already biased.Seeing the rising momentum of the Rongguo Mansion, many members of the clan would inevitably follow the Rongguo Mansion in order to gain more benefits, but they were perfunctory towards the patriarch.
That is to say, the man in the family can still hold back, otherwise, the two families would have been at odds by now.
There are many things, that is, not worrying about the few but the unevenness. Jia Daishan was reused as the second generation of the nobles. The granddaughter entered the palace and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. Generations don't have to worry about it!And in those other mansions, those whose children and grandchildren are promising are good, and those whose children and grandchildren are not promising, they can only be controlled by the older generation. However, as it is today, there is no chance of fighting except for occasional conflicts on the border. .Not to mention meritorious service, it is impossible to gain military power, but each of them is not reconciled, and has to spend a lot of money to support the family members, hoping that there will be opportunities in the future.
With no battles, no military achievements, and no need for you, then, for these nobles, decline is inevitable, but it is not obvious now.As for wanting to switch from military to literary, it is much more difficult than a scholar who throws a pen and joins the army. In fact, compared to practicing martial arts, reading is not easy to achieve results. It depends on talent, hard work, and luck.
Under normal circumstances, as long as one is average in appearance, the level of effort is not a problem, the psychological quality is not a problem, and there are famous teachers to point out the key points, then it is not a big problem to be a scholar.Before Tongsheng, most of the exams were based on rote memorization, but when you take the exam for scholar, you need to write essays, which requires someone to guide you. This is why some old Tongsheng never pass the exam for scholar. .It's not that they don't work hard, it's just that no one breaks the joints, and they can't get it right!
Except for those rare and rare books, you can’t buy them from noble families. Now that the printing technology is so developed, you can also buy books annotated by great Confucians in the past dynasties in bookstores, but it’s not like buying a book and knowing the characters. Nowadays, these books generally do not have sentence reading, or only have simple sentence reading. Just punctuating the sentence is enough. As for the interpretation, it is just like the later generations of students doing classical Chinese reading comprehension. It is absolutely impossible to just explain the superficial meaning. , you have to dig out the extended meaning inside.Looking at these, is it possible to learn without a teacher?The problem is, those civil servants and great Confucians, their own disciples can't teach them, how can they come to teach these honorable children!These days, disciples and students are not the same as those of later generations. Assuming the status, one has to bear the responsibility. A person's title is worth so much, and it is worthless if it is used more times!
What kind of teacher can they choose for their children?Most of them are down-and-out literati from poor families. Most of these people are losers in the imperial examination, or they have a certain element of luck. .
When the country was founded, there were actually quite a few civil servants who were knighted. These families were originally scholars from generation to generation.For example, the Lin family, which was also enshrined as a marquis, still took the imperial examinations from generation to generation, and all followed the path of civil servants.This Lin family is the Lin family from which Lin Daiyu later came out. Their family was able to become a marquis because their ancestors worked as counselors for the emperor of the Tai clan, and they did some tricks. The pulse was so single that some people wondered whether the first generation of Lord Lin Hou had too many sinister ideas and too many murders, so that he came to this situation. After all, there is nothing wrong with the Lin family's descendants. Why has their team been so difficult?
Shu Yun thought that the reason why Lin Hai married the Rongguo Mansion was because the previous generations died too early, and Lin Hai couldn't find much help from the civil servants, so he had to marry the Jia family.As for Jia Daishan, the reason why he agreed to this was because he found that his son would not be able to inherit his power in the army, and his descendants could only study for imperial examinations in order to maintain their family.One family is knowledgeable, one family is powerful, a perfect match!
When Lin Hai first became an official, he should have received some help from the Jia family, maybe not too much, but there should be some.As a result, after Jia Daishan's death, the Jia family didn't take advantage of this relationship at all. Among other things, Lin Hai, a flower lover, if he is willing to help the Jia family's TIAO teach the next generation of children, even if he doesn't teach it himself, recommend some capable people It's never hard for Mr.Those children of the Jia family, not to mention a Jinshi, but a few more scholars, there is no problem!As a result, the family education of the Jia family was managed by a so-called old Confucian Jia Dairu. What about students?So much so that the family learns to the end, it can't be called a school at all!
Even if Lin Hai passed away, what about the relatives of the Lin family?Over there is also the heirloom of farming and reading of the times!As a result, the whole family was short-sighted and couldn't think of this level at all!In order to annihilate the Lin family's property, relying on the power of the Duke's Mansion, the Lin family was severely offended. In the matter of studying for the imperial examination, can the Lin family help the Jia family?It's almost a dream!
Generally speaking, noble families are at most powerful people from the top of the locality. Most of them are mud-legged, like the two brothers Jia Yan and Jia Yuan. When they were in Jinling, their family originally had a field of several tens of acres. , But first, when there was a natural disaster, the court not only refused to provide relief, but also blindly extorted money. The brother and two parents died of illness one after another, and a lot of money was spent on medical treatment and funeral for them. Finally, the family land could not be kept. I still owe a whole lot of debt, which is said to be the price of conscience, so the two brothers simply didn't pay it back, and took some fellow villagers who were also unable to survive, and sent those who came to ask for debts. After being beaten up by the dog leg, he ran to join the rebel army. Later, he heard that Taizu had improved a bit. He thought that he was from the same country, and he used to be from the regular army, not like other so-called rebel soldiers. , In fact, they are bandits, they always have to be more reliable, and then they run over to join them, and this is how they have the family business later.
It is not easy for such a family to abandon martial arts and go to literature. If they want to go to literature, they have to take the exam no matter what. There is no guarantee that the children in the family will be able to pass the exam. People like them can't find such a good teacher!As for entering the Guozijian, hehe, Yinsheng is mixed with Yinsheng, and those gentlemen also discriminate against these Enyin's children. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. Under this environment, they can still maintain Aspirant, that's really not much!
In addition, few of the honorable families are actually thinking about transferring the text. What they want more is to continue to hold military power, rather than let their descendants join the camp of civilian officials.Just like civil officials look down on military generals, military generals also look down on civil officials!
The problem is, no matter how capable they are, if the emperor doesn't use them, everything will be useless.With so many resources, it is inevitable that there will be some discord between a group of sons and nobles who want to scramble for it. After a long time, even real relatives will fall out, not to mention the so-called family friends who were forced together.When everyone stands on the same starting line, they are called family friends, and when they are separated, they are poor relatives.The rich relatives will feel that the poor relatives always come to play the autumn wind, which is particularly annoying, and the poor relatives will also feel that their family has been rich before. If they hadn't been robbed of their opportunities, they might not have fallen into poverty.
In this way, naturally the nobles will split up, and they can break through individually.
It's not that the people of Situ's family crossed the river and demolished the bridge. It's that the military power has been in the hands of one power for a long time, and accidents are easy to happen. Under such circumstances, for the sake of both parties, everyone should take a step back.Situ Min felt that if these nobles were willing to be loyal to him and honestly give up their military power, or in other words, don't get involved in military power for a long time and turn Dajing's soldiers and horses into their family's soldiers and horses, then the imperial court is willing to give them a certain amount of money. Honor, even if you want to favor descendants, the court can accept it.But, if they hold on to the military power one by one, they can't be said to be heroes of the founding of the country, but they are likely to become rebellious officials and thieves!Situ Min didn't want the imperial power to be checked and balanced by these nobles with military power.
Among the nobles nowadays, those at the level of four princes and eight princes are not bad. Even if they are marginalized, they still maintain a certain influence in the court, but some low-level titles are not very high. Now after the death of the elders, the sons The titles that can be inherited will be demoted to a higher level, and some will even be demoted to the third class if the emperor doesn't like them. Du Wei, Yun Qiwei and other lords can't do anything at all, and the juetian they can get will naturally shrink further. If they don't have a real job, it will be very difficult to support a family.
But these people don't have much influence in the first place, so even if they are a little dissatisfied, they can't make any troubles. In the end, they can only find a way to seek refuge with their old boss, hoping that the old boss can help them. The problem is that people can't take care of their own children. How can they have so many resources to help their former subordinates?
In a sense, Tai Zu is considered stingy, and the title cannot be hereditary, but why, he does not give these old subordinates other than fighting, there is no other way out, anyway, the royal family does not lack Talents, especially when the world is peaceful, don't need many talents who can fight.
After learning about this, Shu Yun felt a little helpless. Throughout the dynasties, military generals seemed to have some precautions, not to mention that nobles usually retire with the country, so why did Zhao Kuangyin go back then? It wasn't because of the yellow robe ?As for the middle and late Tang Dynasty, weren't those warlords also the Jiedu envoys trusted by the imperial court?To put it bluntly, all the conflicts are due to the distribution of benefits. They have already eaten up the pies that were distributed to them before, and now they can only stare at others, hoping that others can share some to fill their stomachs, but no one thinks. However, make the pie bigger.
Fortunately, this kind of thing is not serious, but in the future, these will be problems. The court feels that giving these nobles the wealth of several generations is already doing their best to them, and the nobles feel that if our ancestors did not fight bravely to kill Enemy, what is the name of the world is not certain, so it is only natural for us to want more benefits.Such a contradiction is actually very difficult to resolve, and even if it is resolved, it can only be resolved temporarily.The imperial court could not completely get rid of the honorable class, because without this group, those who directly confronted the civilian class would be those generals who had no foundation. If you have an advantage, you may become a vassal of the civil servants in the future.At that time, it will once again enter the period when the imperial power directly confronts the civil servants.
Situ Min can't think of such a far-reaching thing now, he feels that he is quite correct, besides, he didn't really kill all the nobles, like Jia Daishan, and Dong'an County King whose family married the eldest princess, aren't they all quite good? okay?
The four kings with different surnames got the promise of Taizu back then, and they can be hereditary for three generations. Jing County King and Dong'an County King have inherited the second generation, and the Nan'an County King and Xining County King who hold military power in their hands are both old county kings of the same generation as Emperor Taizu!This is too much to live with.
In fact, Shu Yun has no prejudice against civil servants and nobles. In other words, Shu Yun can best understand the virtues of bureaucrats. Regardless of civil servants or generals, when the bottom line is lost, everyone is the same, and no one can say anything!The reason why it seems that the court has always been in civil strife is because the cake is not big enough and there is nothing else to do. Therefore, whether it is the emperor or the courtiers below, in the end, everyone is trying to balance and fight.
It's just that Shu Yun's mind is full of thoughts now, but because of the situation, she can't do anything at all, which makes her feel very aggrieved.She has no one to use outside, and the Xie family doesn't want to get the benefits of nepotism. Xie Shen told Shu Yun at the beginning, don't expect anything from the emperor, the emperor is the most turning-faced creature, so, Even if she has a son, the Xie family will not help her win the heir, lest the entire Xie family be dragged into trouble.like
