Chapter 184: Reverse Version Gameplay

Ganlu Hall was quiet at this moment, all the officials were at their wits' end, and only Li Shimin's laughter echoed.

When he swept the four directions, the heroes were at their wits' end, but when he put away his sword and began to govern the world, the local tyrants really stood in front of him.

And because he was born into a Longyou tyrant family, Li Shimin understood the attitude of the tyrants towards the court.

"Imperial power and local power... that's right."

Li Shimin sighed.

The central court's orders will eventually be implemented in the local areas, and the local tyrants will coerce the people. Those who are close to them know that the armor and soldiers are sharp and dare not disobey, while those who are a little further away will bargain with local officials in a hypocritical manner, and some who are farther away will simply refuse to obey the orders.

As for Cui Boling, Li Shimin himself can be said to have "heard of his great name for a long time."

The ministers did not speak, but Li Shimin himself did a simple calculation in his mind:

"This Cui family prospered with Guangwu. They survived the death of the emperor and the destruction of the country."

"I worked hard for the country, but ended up becoming a long-term worker for the Bo Ling Cui family?"

This statement was somewhat hurtful. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other. Although they felt a little aggrieved, they really couldn't say anything at this time.

Facing the look from Fang and Du, Changsun Wuji smiled slightly:

"You are the emperor and rich, why do you have to belittle yourself like this?"

"Just like this light curtain, it still protects you after thousands of years, while the Bo Ling Cui has been lost in history. Even after thousands of years, all that is left is contempt."

Li Shimin's face looked better, but he still didn't say some of his own thoughts.

For example, the Bo Ling Cui family became completely prosperous in the late Tang Dynasty. Could it be that more than ten prime ministers from that family all came in the late Tang Dynasty?

And the late Tang Dynasty... Anshi Rebellion... This made Li Shimin not in the mood to tease.

So he simply skipped this topic and looked at another family:

"This Hongnong Yang family... has actually been extinct?"

This doubt is very clear, after all, Yang Jian of the Former Sui Dynasty claimed that his thirteenth ancestor was Yang Zhen, the Taiwei of the Later Han Dynasty.

The ministers looked at each other, and in the end only Fang Xuanling said reluctantly:

"Maybe later generations have studied the historical books more thoroughly... However, the Hongnong Yang family did experience several ups and downs from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Former Sui Dynasty."

"Several branches of the Yang family in the Northern Dynasties all claimed to be Hongnong Yang, and there may be something dirty in between."

Li Shimin shook his head and didn't believe this at all. After all, Li Tang himself insisted on claiming to be Li Hong and was pulled out by this light curtain and beaten. This behavior may be inspired by Yang Sui's move.

Moreover, at that time, everyone was proud of being attached to the remnants of the aristocratic family. Those who were able to read the history books and see Zhu Baba, who was born as a beggar and won the world, probably did not think that this kind of forced attachment was noble, and they might as well treat it as a joke.

Just like Li Shimin, could he really get the glory of Li Hong? Li Hong was more glorious because he was the greatest emperor in the history!

So he only explained one sentence:

"If you compile the Book of Jin, you should do a detailed research and don't make fun of it for future generations."

Fang Xuanling understood and obeyed the order, and other ministers also had different thoughts.

[So when we look back, the game of aristocratic families has been developed very well by the powerful people in the Han Dynasty:

Use wealth to make friends with celebrities, let celebrities grant their children fame, and the children with fame can enter the officialdom legally and quickly, and after entering the officialdom, use power to grab more wealth.

With more wealth, you can make friends with more prestigious celebrities, and more prestigious celebrities can grant higher fame, and finally the children who enter the officialdom can obtain higher official positions... and so on, and so on, and so on.

The powerful, celebrities, and officialdom have formed a perfect closed loop. You only need to have one of these three things to join in, grow in a cycle, and finally participate in the game of competing for the world at the end of the Han Dynasty.

It should be noted that compared with the Qin Dynasty, the powerful in the Han Dynasty had completed the transformation from blood clan system to village geography. The geographical powerful in the Han Dynasty not only had their own blood clan, but also included the villagers they controlled and relied on, and achieved a life, political, and economic dependence.

The powerful in the Eastern Han Dynasty could be so strong because they had essentially become a regional interest group.

And the ticket to this game at the end of the Han Dynasty was the status of a powerful.

Needless to say, the Yuan and Cao families were too famous.

The Xiahou clan who followed Cao Cao was also a local tyrant in Qiao County. Xu Chu, who gave people the impression of being simple-minded, was also a tyrant in Qiao County. The Records of the Three Kingdoms recorded that Xu Chu could gather thousands of young clansmen at the end of the Han Dynasty, and built a fortress, and his identity was extremely clear.

In addition, there are Chen, Xun, and Zhong from Yingchuan, Cheng Yu and Li Dian from Yanzhou, and Cui Yan from Hebei, etc.

Cao Cao himself can basically be regarded as the king of the northern tyrants.

The Sun clan in Jiangdong is a bit special, and it can be regarded as the first batch of real beneficiaries in the troubled times.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Sun Jian served as the magistrate of Yandu, Xuyi, and Xiapi. He was fearless and fearless when suppressing bandits, so he had a good reputation.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Sun Jian accurately caught the last ticket to the tyrants, recruited soldiers in Huaisi, and pulled up a team of a thousand people from merchants, refugees, young and strong people, and responded to the army. After that, he would be the first to climb in every battle, and won a reputation.

Therefore, Sun Jian was so fearless when he fought against Dong Zhuo. After he was the first to attack Luoyang, he successfully became a local tyrant by relying on his reputation.

The slightly special thing is that Sun Jian and Sun Ce, who relied on military merits rather than being famous, are not compatible with this version of the late Han Dynasty. We can get a glimpse of this from the recorded deeds.

For example, Sun Jian fell in love with Wu's daughter and wanted to do something evil when her marriage proposal failed. He was so frightened that Wu's daughter took the initiative to surrender, just to avoid harming her family.

For example, Sun Jian had old grudges with Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang. Later, Wang Rui was force-fed wine and Zhang Zi was hacked to death by Sun Jian.

Sun Ce was similar. When he was talking to the famous scholar Gao Dai, he felt slighted and wanted to kill Gao Dai. As a result, all the scholars in the village came to Gao Dai to plead for mercy. Sun Ce felt insulted and killed Gao Dai by force.

The people who were killed basically belonged to the powerful play circle, so it was not surprising that Sun Jian and Sun Ce both died unexpectedly.

So in the end Sun Quan put an end to this style, and Sun completed the last step of transformation and became one of the players on the card table.

As an extra mention, the other two people who are more similar to the Sun family are Lu Bu and Ma Chao. Like Sun Jian, they are more like military heroes than powerful. They were born in the wrong version. I believe they would have been born during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Greater achievements.

Therefore, the reputations and endings of Ma Chao and Lu Bu are similar to those of Sun Jian. The only difference is that the Sun family no longer confronts the version when they come to Sun Quan, and Sun Jian saves a lot of their reputations.

Liu Bei won't talk about it. His subordinates can be regarded as frustrated people, and most of them are abandoned by the version.

Typical examples include Mi Zhu, who has money but no one, and has not transformed from a wealthy businessman to a powerful man; Liu Ba wanted to surrender to Cao, but was thrown out by Boss Cao.

Not to mention the second master and the third master, one is a fugitive and the other is a pig butcher. Zhuge Wuhou doesn't like the family's style of play and takes the initiative to withdraw from the circle.

Therefore, Ji Han and his gang were incompatible with the late Han Dynasty, because they were going against the grain in these troubled times.

Therefore, after Ji Han's defeat, the powerful families no longer had any obstacles.

They tried their best to climb toward the top of the powerful mountain.

By the way, the common people who were stepping stones were kicked into the bottomless abyss. 】

Liu Ba first expressed his views fiercely:

"What does it mean to be thrown out? I mean..."

Liu Ba was speechless.

"Kicked out?" Zhang Fei was considerate.

Liu Ba blushed, but Mi Zhu comforted him:

"Why should Zichu care so much?"

"Now it seems that it may not be a bad thing. If you go to Xu, you will be able to see the light and auspiciousness? Can Cao Cao let you do whatever you want like a lord?"

This is true. Liu Ba still admitted it, but he was still a little wary of this description:

"I just think Cao Cao is ignorant of people, so he puts his love in the mountains and rivers!"

"It's true." Everyone nodded perfunctorily and cooperated with Liu Ba.

Pang Tong studied it and felt a bit toothache:

"Then this thief Cao has united the power of powerful families in the north?"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed: "Isn't that just a pot of food?"

Pang Tong was speechless, shook his head and looked ahead:

"This is a summary of later generations. The cyclic gameplay of this powerful and famous officialdom, although it is briefly described, is generally very similar."

Kong Ming pondered for a moment and said:

"In this way, the rise of paper first destroyed celebrities."

Pang Tong thought about the deduction together and agreed very much:

"The cheaper the paper, the more widely the classics can be spread. In this way, even an idle man in the field can buy a few classics if he saves a lot of money."

"In this case, it will be difficult to see great Confucian scholars such as Zhang, Mou, and Cai, and the grand scene of tens of thousands of disciples traveling together should no longer be seen."

Zhang Fei poked his head over and was curious:

"Who is this?"

Zhang Song explained: "What Military Advisor Pang is talking about should be Zhang Xing, Mou Chang, Cai Xuan and other great Confucian scholars. Even in Shu, I have heard of Cai Xuan, who was praised by the world for his knowledge of the Five Classics, and his family had a doorman. Thousands, sixteen thousand disciples.”

Zhang Fei let out a "wow" sound and found it unimaginable:

"Isn't that... just like being a tyrant in academics?"

Kong Ming clicked on the paper on the desk and said:

"That's why it is said that this piece of paper can destroy famous people."

"As long as the people's wisdom is opened up and people can exchange a bushel of millet for a book of scriptures, then the nobles who inherit the classics will no longer appear."

After imagining that scene, Kong Ming couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts:

"If we can do what later generations did in books, follow the imperial examination method, and don't ask for the prime minister of Guizhou, as long as we can produce officials, then the disaster of the powerful will be solved."

Pang Tong considered from another direction:

"In this way, Kong Ming may become the enemy of the powerful family, and the Lord will also..."

Kong Ming shook his head and laughed:

"I had a chat with Divine Doctor Zhang when I was in Jingzhou, and I also know the principle of whether a person is weak or not."

"The disease of the noble family has entered the body of the great man, so he should take measures to deal with it slowly."

"Moreover, Cao Mengde will definitely help me when it comes to treating this disease."

Kong Ming saw clearly that annexation and occupation were engraved in the bones of powerful men, and they would not give any preferential treatment to Cao Cao because he was also a powerful man.

Cao Cao may have been powerful before the battle with Yuan Shao, but from the moment he defeated Yuan Shao and took control of the north, Cao Cao and the aristocratic families were no longer on the same page.
