Chapter 804: People Must Have a Bottom Line (18)
There is also the hope that through Li Xun, the You family will be brought over.
After Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne, he has been working hard to win over ministers and families from all sides, and it seems that the results are good, and the number is not expensive, but there is no second one who really has weight and can be valued by Zhao Xun, except for the Kou family where Kou Xiong is located.
The You family is among the best among many gate valve families, whether it is a long inheritance, or status and fame, and with Liu Wei, Liu Zhigu, Liu Congji and many other gate valve families, as well as the five major feudal towns in Hebei, the You family has maintained a very good relationship with them, and many gate valve families have also had many years of marriage relationship.
The meritorious and famous people of the older generation, there are few people who survive in the world, and there is also a You Yuanfeng in the You family, he is highly respected, and has a good popularity and high prestige in the gate valve family, if he can pull the You family into his hands through Li Xun and get the full support of the You family, the chain effect will definitely be extremely huge.
But obviously, You Yuanfeng is cunning and cunning, always keeping a clear head, he will not let the family fall into this huge storm at all, after Li Xun entered the political hall, You Yuanfeng began to deliberately support behind his back, but this support is limited, and Li Xun also has great reservations, Zhao Xun has been wooed several times, and the You family is very cold, and deliberately distances himself, which makes Zhao Xun very disappointed.
Zhao Xun's wish and goal of winning over the You family through Li Xun are obviously no longer possible.
At the beginning of Li Xun's entry into the political affairs hall, there was originally a blood and impulse in his heart, he wanted to make a difference, maybe it was far from comparable with Yang Daosi and Liu Ji, who were famous ministers and ministers in the world, but governing the country and the world, benefiting the people, and doing one or two meaningful things, should still be able to do, and Li Xun also wanted to do it.
But since he was officially appointed as the minister of political affairs, Li Xun found that the ideal was too far from reality.
A gorgeous sword, the appearance may be very dazzling and beautiful, but its real key is the sharpness of the blade, if you only look at the gorgeous appearance of the sword, and do not pay attention to the blade itself, in the final analysis, it is a beautiful ornament, and it cannot play the role it should have.
Li Xun's current situation is like a gorgeous sword, the blade is in the sheath, he can't pull it out, he can't use the sharpness of the blade, he can't fully exercise the power of Xiangguo.
What is it that limits me?
Li Xun often thinks about this question.
Li Xun has been thinking about this question recently.
The Jin Dynasty has continued to the present, more than 500 years, ups and downs, there has been a peak, there has been a decline, there has been a flourishing, there has been a flourishing, but the trend of the world, divided for a long time, a long time must be divided, this is the inevitable history, but also the only way for the feudal system.
Any group, as long as it has money and power, it can have a lot of cohesion, and the starting point of the gate valve family originated at the end of the Chu Dynasty.
In order to revitalize the national strength, Chu Anzong intended to break the aristocratic hereditary bureaucratic system, and was determined to reform, so he was strongly resisted by the aristocratic hereditary bureaucracy, rebellions broke out, and the world was in turmoil.
Chu Anzong was cornered by the aristocratic hereditary bureaucracy, so he united with the local powerful landlords and began to launch a counterattack.
With the help of the local powerful landlords, Chu Anzong finally won the victory, and reformed the political system, completely abolished the hereditary system of aristocracy and bureaucracy that continued for more than 1,000 years, and began to implement the inspection system.
It's a pity that Chu Anzong died too early, and the three generations of emperors after him are all famous faint monarchs, eunuchs take power, powerful ministers are in power, and politics is corrupt, Chu Anzong must not have imagined that the Zhongxing he realized, less than fifty years after his death, the Chu Dynasty was going to extinction.
The Jin Dynasty was established with the support of powerful landlords, and the Jin emperor treated them very favorably, so the powerful landlords enjoyed political and economic privileges in the Jin Dynasty. Politically, they controlled the central and local political power, economically annexed land, ran estates, and controlled the trend of public opinion in the world.
The prevalence of the gentry system depended on the decrees issued by the ruling class. The promulgation of the decree systematically upheld the privileges of the noble landlords in all aspects of political, economic, cultural, and social life.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the external environment was harsh, the powerful Hu people, gradually moved towards the unification and establishment of the Tubo Dynasty, the once strong Funan Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty at that time, just ended the long-term division and war, the domestic people's livelihood withered, the people sought peace, the soldiers were war-weary, the Jin Dynasty emperor in order to obtain the support of the big landlords, increased the indulgence and entrapment of them, that is, from this period, the door valve family system began to gradually take shape.
More than 100 years after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the national strength entered its heyday, the Hu people were divided again, five large-scale western expeditions, completely crippled the entire Tubo Dynasty, Tubo began to submit to the Jin Dynasty, the once strong Funan Dynasty fell into large-scale civil strife, and the external situation was very good.
During this period, after more than 100 years of development, the economy and power are the gate valve family with great power, developed to dozens of people, they monopolized the official career, wantonly annexed land, dominated politics, and controlled the overall situation of the world, the power is enough to stand side by side with the imperial power, and even surpass the imperial power, successive generations of Jin Dynasty emperors are controlled by the gate valve family, unwilling to be humiliated, either killed, or deposed, the emperor wants to exercise power, must rely on their support, door valve politics reached its peak.
After Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, unwilling to be a puppet and overhead, he had supervised the Longyou for several years, and had a very close relationship with the Longyou military group, he took this as a backer and foundation, launched a full counterattack against the door valve family, plus at that time among the many gate valve families, there were also some people of insight, they hoped that the door valve and the imperial power are coexisting, rather than life and death, so, after Xuanzong initiated the reform and counterattack, a considerable part of the door valve family chose to belong to the imperial power, which led to the union between the powerful door valve family group, Eventually, it will be divided.
Xuanzong finally won the victory and began a large-scale political reform, dividing the six ministries into six ministries and conducting imperial examinations.
However, Xuanzong's reform was not thorough, and many political things finally made compromises and concessions with the gate valve family group.
