Chapter 2213 Strategies of Differentiation
There is indeed some worry, but His Majesty Li Er is more happy.
Fang Jun had used this trick before, and he had vaguely seen the benefits of it, but he didn't think about it deeply, so he kept it hazy and didn't pierce this layer of window paper.
Now that Fang Jun suddenly brought it up, His Majesty Li Er suddenly became enlightened.
Fortunately, I was still working so hard to suppress the family and had trouble sleeping at night, but I forgot that my old friend had already put in place the method of destroying and dispersing a huge group based on blood ties...
Tweet the grace order!
Since the two generations of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, how to limit and weaken the increasingly expanding power of princes and kings has always been a serious problem faced by emperors. During the reign of Emperor Wen, in view of the rebellion of the King of Huainan and the King of Jibei, Jia Yi once put forward the suggestion of "building more princes but less power". Emperor Wen accepted this suggestion to a certain extent, but did not completely solve the problem.
After Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he adopted Chao Cuo's suggestion to reduce the vassal state. As a result, the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu rebelled against each other with armed rebellion.
Emperor Jing quickly put down the rebellion and took a series of corresponding measures, which greatly weakened the power of the princes and kings. However, in the early years of Emperor Wu, some large countries were still connected with dozens of cities and thousands of miles of land. Moreover, the princes and kings were arrogant and extravagant, often disobeying the central government's orders, seriously threatening the consolidation of central power.
The master's father, Yan, wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, suggesting that the princes should be ordered to express personal favors and ennoble their children as princes.
Many of the princes and kings' subordinates were granted the title of princes, and many kingdoms were divided into several princely states. According to the Han system, princes were subordinate to counties and had the same status as counties. Therefore, kingdoms with large fiefdoms were divided into princes with smaller fiefdoms. This process directly led to the shrinking of the kingdom and the expansion of the land directly under the jurisdiction of the court. In this way, the Han Dynasty court did not need to denounce the princes and kings, causing the large kingdom to fall apart.
After that, the princely state only had a few counties under its jurisdiction, which completely solved the problem of excessive fiefdom in the kingdom.
The "Tweeting Order" was a great success.
Naturally, aristocratic families are different from those of feudal states, but their nature is basically similar. Giving the second sons and concubines a future, growing their ambitions, and no longer being fettered by the family, or causing conflicts within the family, will severely damage the momentum of the aristocratic family, and each will have selfish motives.
The more outstanding talents there are, the stronger the family will be?
Absolutely not.
For the prosperity of a family, apart from outstanding children, the most important thing is unity! Except for the eldest son, everyone in the family knows that they will not receive the family's political resources and will always be just a vassal of the family. Even if they become an official in the court, the family will be the main one, and they may not necessarily invest much in themselves. But when necessary, they will be abandoned anytime and anywhere.
If you want to live a good life, you must stay around your eldest son and help him wholeheartedly.
And once these second sons and concubines realize that they can have a better future, even if they separate and live in separate families, they can still develop their ambitions, who will be willing to rely on them and work hard for the eldest son?
Every second son or concubine who leaves the family and leads a new life will inevitably weaken the family's power...
Fang Jun smiled and disagreed: "Although this method is cruel, it is a blunt knife that cuts flesh. Although the family members can see the worries about the future, they may not be able to be cruel."
In fact, the so-called "favor order" is not the best weapon to weaken the family members. The best way is to amend the law and change the inheritance system!
From ancient times to the present, Han Chinese society has implemented the "ancestral inheritance" system. In order to protect private property from being dispersed and pass it on from generation to generation, after the death of an emperor or noble, his power, land and other properties are inherited by his eldest son.
This inheritance system centered on the inheritance of the eldest son is called ancestral inheritance.
Clan inheritance is the product of the patriarchal social system. Taking the eldest son as the main heir, if there is a son, the eldest son will be the eldest son, and if there is no son, the eldest son will be the heir, which has become the law of the past dynasties. The second son and concubine could only receive part of the land and property, but could not inherit the power.
If the law is changed so that all heirs have the right to inherit as in later generations, the so-called aristocratic families and their accumulated heritage for thousands of years will fall apart and disappear overnight...
If Fang Jun made this suggestion, he might be assassinated by a group of assassins sent by the family members.
This is equivalent to directly determining the foundation on which the family is maintained and passed on from generation to generation, that is, enemies of life and death, and no matter how extreme things are, they can do it.
Of course, this approach will never be passed.
Not to mention that once it is proposed, it will attract opposition from the entire world, and even the emperor will not be able to pass it...
What's the matter, do you want my country to be divided into ten or twenty pieces, and each son inherit a piece of land?
The desire to divide the empire can be punished, beheaded!
……
In the afternoon, Fang Jun came to the academy and called Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang over.
As for Li Jing, Kong Yingda and others, their status is too transcendent and their qualifications are too deep. They have no intention of fighting for power in the academy. They just hold on to their original intention and hope to cultivate more outstanding talents for the empire. Unless Fang Junhui needs to "gather up the numbers" Grab these people and don't bother them when you have free time.
When Chu Suiliang and Xu Jingzong arrived, Fang Jun looked at Chu Suiliang with an unhappy look on his face and said: "To sow discord and talk, it's not the actions of Guangfeng Jiyue, we despise it!"
Chu Suiliang was confused and had no idea what Fang Jun was referring to.
Fang Jun said angrily: "Bring me yesterday's list!"
Only then did Chu Suiliang understand that it seemed that someone had gone to the emperor and told him that the emperor had put pressure on Fang Jun, but Fang Jun thought it was him...
Chu Suiliang didn't care about taking the blame. He only cared about whether the list could be approved by the academy. Last night, several Guanlong disciples came to the mansion to inquire. He didn't know how to answer. Once they knew about it, All the names on my list have been rejected. I can't imagine whether the furious Guanlong disciples would set their house on fire.
He quickly took out the messy lists. These lists had become his obsession, and the future of the rest of his life was entrusted to them. He hugged them all night, and almost burst into tears...
Xu Jingzong also understood that it seemed that the emperor had put pressure on Fang Jun to pass Chu Suiliang's list, and he couldn't help feeling resentful.
He thought that he could use Fang Jun's hand to suppress Chu Suiliang severely and make the nobles of Guanlong realize that I, Xu Jingzong, was more worthy of their praise. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, Chu Suiliang could convince the emperor, Making Fang Jun pass this list.
It is conceivable that from then on, Chu Suiliang would be increasingly appreciated by the Guanlong nobles and become a candidate for vigorous cultivation by the Guanlong nobles.
And if he wants to continue to make a difference in the court, he can only completely give up his illusions about the Guanlong nobles, follow Fang Jun honestly, work hard and without complaint, and use his channel to enter the camp of His Royal Highness. ……
Fang Jun took the list, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and sketched on it. After a while, he put the brush on the pen holder, threw the list to Chu Suiliang, and said calmly: "As you wish, take it, like a Slaves generally go and ask for rewards from your masters!”
Several lists fell lightly on the desk, but they hit Chu Suiliang's heart like a sledgehammer, making him extremely angry and furious!
"You can kill someone with just a nod of your head, how can your consort humiliate me like this?!"
Chu Suiliang's face was blood red, his eyes almost popped out, and he glared at Fang Jun angrily.
If it weren't for the fact that the gap in combat power between the two sides was really too big, Bao Buqi would have rushed forward to fight Fang Jun at this moment...
Even though he was attached to the Guanlong nobles, Chu Suiliang was still a scholar at heart and had the character of a scholar. Helping the Guanlong nobles in doing things was just a trade-off. Anyway, he had to take sides in the court, either the Guanlong nobles or Jiangnan. Aristocratic families, such as those from Shandong, are responsible for whose bowl they eat and whose rice they eat, so naturally they have to seek benefits for whom. What's wrong with that?
You, Fang Jun, are not the hawks and minions around the prince, trying your best to make suggestions and charge into battle for the prince?
Why is it that you yourself are so glorious, but when you come to me, you are so shameless and begging for mercy?
This is simply unreasonable!
Xu Jingzong was also secretly speechless.
The ultimate reputation of a literati. Once this word spreads, outsiders will not understand what is going on inside, and will only follow the rumors and follow the rumors. Chu Suiliang's reputation will be completely ruined.
This is more serious than killing Chu Suiliang...
Fang Jun endured Chu Suiliang's anger and looked back calmly: "If Chu Siye doesn't leave, do you believe that I will take back this list immediately?"
Chu Suiliang was extremely angry, but he did not dare to challenge Fang Jun.
If he really pisses off this stick, steals the list and still refuses Guanlong's disciples to enter the academy, then he will have to walk around in pain.
He was incapable of overpowering Fang Jun. The noble Guan Long used his strength to convince His Majesty Li Er, but the list was scrapped due to his own fault. Fang Jun strongly resisted... Then wouldn't he be someone who "succeeded less than failed"? waste?
Taking a deep breath, Chu Suiliang knew that today he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood. He had to endure this breath. He nodded with hatred and said: "Very good. I just hope that the consort can remember what he said today and be able to do his best at any time." The wind and the moon..."
He was talking about the scene and found a place to go down the stairs. He glanced at the list subconsciously and was stunned.
"This, this, this..."
More than half of the names on the list were crossed out. After a closer look, almost all the eldest sons of the aristocratic families were crossed out, leaving only some second sons, concubines, and even descendants from distant branches... Chu Suiliang was shocked and angry. How could this happen? Can it be done? !
