Chapter 285
But the assumption of the power of the empire by the nobles of the family poses two extreme problems.
One is that the power of the nobles of the family is extremely huge.
What is a family of nobles.
It doesn't mean that the family has thousands of acres or even tens of thousands of acres of fields, and the family is a nobleman.
The true nobility of the family is at least one county, and the owner has a control that is almost unimaginable to ordinary people.
To use the simplest analogy.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
At that time, the Yuan family was already the fourth and third dukes, in other words, in the whole world, except for the old Liu family, their family was the most powerful.
Yuan Shu backed the Runan and ruled the Lianghuai region without much effort!
In his heyday, Yuan Shu controlled Yangzhou, southern Xuzhou, and parts of Yuzhou, such as Nanyang and Runan.
It can be said that the Yuan Shu in the heyday of the "773" period was larger than the area of the Wu State established by Sun Quan later.
Moreover, at that time, Nanyang and Runan were the first and second counties in the world respectively, and the population of these two counties was even more than some ordinary states!
For example, Nanyang had a household registration of one million at that time, more than 2.5 million!
Runan County, the second county in the world, also has a population of more than 2 million.
In other words, Yuan Shu alone with these two counties is enough to surpass the vast majority of states.
If you add the population of Yangzhou and Xuzhou, the population under Yuan Shu at its peak exceeded 10 million.
This is why Yuan Shu dared to be the emperor at that time.
At that time, even Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Lu Bu in Xuzhou had to rely on Yuan Shu.
And in the north, Yuan Shao's development is also not much worse than Yuan Shu.
With the prestige of his fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shu easily took Jizhou into his own hands.
At that time, Jizhou was the first state in the world, with a population close to or even more than 6 million.
Coupled with the control of Qingzhou and some counties in Bingzhou, Yuan Shao's subordinates basically control a population close to or even more than 10 million.
It can be said that in the early period of the late Han Dynasty, the future Wei, Shu, and Wu were all junior brother-level figures.
Not to mention Liu Bei, who has been wandering around.
Sun Ce, the founder of the Wu Kingdom, was still a pioneer under Yuan Shu at the beginning!
And Cao Cao is basically following Yuan Shao.
At that time, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were the masters of the world.
At that time, it was basically speculation that in the end, the world had basically fallen into the hands of these two brothers.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have been fighting each other and fighting each other.
In the end, Cao Cao and Sun Ce were given an opportunity.
If these two brothers cooperate, then whether the future three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu can still exist is a question.
And this is just a microcosm of the strength of the nobles of the family.
Later.
There is an ancient saying in the Eastern Jin Dynasty: The king and the horse share the world.
And in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Yang Guang violated the interests of the aristocracy, and finally ended up in life and death.
Li Shimin has been a hero through the ages, but there is still no way to take seven surnames and five hopes.
In the end, it was only after Wu Zetian came to power that the nobles of the family were completely suppressed.
In the end, the nobles of the family were completely repulsed, and it would not be until Huang Chao, the killer of the family, appeared.
Therefore, the threat of the nobles of the family to the imperial power is the reason why the emperors of all dynasties have to attack the nobles of the family.
And when the nobles of the family left the stage of history, the peak of imperial power slowly arrived!
Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Baiguan can no longer sit as before.
In the Qing Dynasty, the hundred officials basically played on their knees.
The gap in this, even if the imperial power suppressed the civil and military officials.
The second problem with the nobility of the family is that all the nobles of the family are, in fact, in essence, independent individuals.
They control everything in the state and county, which naturally makes it impossible for the center to form effective control over the locality. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）
And even when it comes to the center, it's basically their people.
In this case, they will combine the interests of their own family with the interests of the empire.
Even for the good of the empire, it is possible to be born and die.
But, by their very nature, they will put their own interests above those of the Empire.
When the interests of the family conflict with the interests of the empire.
Most of the time, they will choose the interests of the family.
It's like Zhuge Liang will do his best for Liu Bei's birth and death.
But Zhuge Liang will never stop his two brothers from serving Wei and Wu. 0
The same is true of Xun's Eight Dragons.
Xun Yu and Xun Yu followed Cao Cao.
The other part followed Yuan Shao.
Of course, there are those who have been following the Han family.
It can be said that no one will lose.
In this case, in fact, it will unconsciously aggravate the internal friction of the nation.
And the Zhuge family and the Xun family are already considered families that have been well-behaved to a certain extent.
For some families, there is no bottom line.
For example, the Sima family.
Sima Yi pointed to Weishui on the bank of the Weishui River in front of the Manchu civil and military forces and swore that as long as Cao Shuang surrendered, he would not be held accountable.
As a result, he destroyed the three clans of Cao Shuang with his backhand.
Sima Yi's son Sima Zhao is even more powerful, killing the king on the street!
From that moment on, the sacredness of the emperor was completely broken.
Before the Jin Dynasty, the emperor had a mandate of heaven.
And after Sima Zhao did this, everyone in the world understood.
The emperor, the strong soldier and the strong horse do it!
Therefore, the Sima family is not to blame that they were repeatedly rebelled by their subordinates later.
Everything is self-inflicted.
So, it's hard now.
In the end, how to balance the relationship between the nobles of the family and the Hanmen Shu clan, and how to make Great Qin avoid becoming more and more corrupt and rigid.
This has undoubtedly become a big problem in front of Yingzheng and Yingchen's father 3.6 sons.
After thinking about it, Ying Chen spoke: "Since Dad, you are worried that these gentlemen will become officials in the future, which will affect the rule of Great Qin, then let's start directly from the source." "
As soon as he heard this, Yingzheng couldn't help but look at Yingchen.
He knew that his precious son must have a way.
But seeing Yingchen speak, he said, "Didn't I founded Taixue before." "
"Since among the children of these families, it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed, then what we have to do is also very simple."
"All the officials of Great Qin must graduate from Taixue before they can be on one side."
"If you can't pass the assessment, then you won't be allowed to graduate, and the students who haven't graduated need to stay in Taixue until the day they graduate before they can be released."
"In a word, if you don't graduate, you won't be awarded an official position."
