"Since there are questions to ask, Cangshu naturally knows everything, and Dezu can ask everything.
Cao Chong's words and deeds seemed very generous, but instead of being angry because of Yang Xiu's repeated refusals, he was more calm.
Seeing Cao Chong like this, Yang Xiu's impression of Cao Chong was much better.
Yang Xiu drank the tea in front of him, and his question was also asked.
"The question of cultivation is to ask why the Han family is declining."
Why did the Han family decline?
Yang Xiu dared to say this, it seemed that he really wanted to say something real to himself.
Why did the Han family decline?
Naturally, there are many reasons, but I don't know which one Yang Xiu wants to say In fact, in Zhuge Liang's teacher list, most of the reasons have actually been said.
The decline of the Han family is not a problem of one generation, but a problem of several generations.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor in order to increase the centralization of power, has always had the tradition of reusing eunuchs, after the rule of the famous Ming Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han and Emperor succeeded to the throne in the early days of the dictatorship of foreign relatives, and later used eunuchs to regain power, after the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is basically a copy of the power of eunuchs and foreign relatives, which can be called the spiral decline of the state machine.
This is simply sounding the death knell for the Eastern Han Dynasty.
After the death of Emperor He, the one-year-old child died after being the emperor for a year, and then until Emperor An of Han succeeded to the throne, the dictatorship of the Deng family, and after the death of the queen mother, the eunuch was determined again.
After the death of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the relatives of the Yan family took power again, and Liu Bao {Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty} made the eunuchs an official and marquis because of the eunuchs' meritorious support, and killed the Yan family.
After Liu Bao's death, Liang's relatives were in power, and the two emperors who succeeded him reigned for less than 3 years.
Then there is the famous Huan Ling two emperors, Emperor Huan killed the Liang family, the eunuchs took power, the Ling Emperor Dou's relatives were meritorious and were added to the knighthood, and the eunuchs finally won the political struggle.
Then came the Yellow Turban Uprising.
The state is no longer controllable, people's hearts are fluctuating, and it has become an irreversible fact that each has its own ghosts.
During the period of Emperor Huan, he began to sell his official beard, when the country had no money, he sold his official position as a treasurer, causing the local powerful to increase the exploitation of the people, and many local people were vassal to the powerful and powerful, and the local snobbery became bigger and bigger.
Assassin Shi and other military governors are becoming more and more unsupervised, relying on money to speak and relying on strength to do things.
Although the struggle between eunuchs and relatives was helpful to the emperor's preservation, it made it difficult to form a unified and powerful center of power, and the situation of forming gangs and factions was serious, and the ability to fight against foreign races was limited.
It can be said that the Eastern Han Dynasty was poor and weak.
There is an even bigger reason, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Maison gained the sweetness of the armed forces in the process of suppression.
After that, the Maison's power began to swell.
In particular, Liu Yan played a very bad role.
He advocated the restoration of the pastoral system, and heard that Yizhou had the spirit of a son of heaven, bribed the eunuch to obtain the position of Yizhou pastor, and deliberately raised Zhang Lu as a troublemaker, under the pretext that the road was restless and did not pay taxes to the central government, closed the door and became the emperor of the soil, and then passed on the position of state pastor to his son, creating a bad example of hereditary high-level positions.
At the same time, the forces of relatives led by He Jin fought a decisive battle with the eunuch forces led by Zhang Rang and died together, and the family headed by Yuan Shao thought that they could cover the sky with one hand.
This, in turn, led to the formation of a warlord force in the former government forces headed by Dong Zhuo.
The warlords not only controlled the regime, but also completely deprived the emperor of his dignity.
The dignity of the Han family is gone, the military strength is declining, and the three major clans of the Yangtze River, Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, Jingzhou, and Liu Xuan, who have huge military power, do not regard the emperor at all, do not work hard to the king, do not support, and are all closing the door to be the emperor of the soil.
What does the Han room have There is no prestige, there is no army.
The relatives and eunuchs who were originally the pillars of his ruling are gone, the clan doesn't care, the families and warlords are fighting for territory, and the emperor is of course a piece of garbage that can be discarded in the eyes of careerists.
So the Han family declined.
Cao Chong thought about it, and chose to extend it from the matter of the party's troubles, and the views he said were no different from ordinary people's thoughts.
Yang Xiu looked at Cao Chong and knew that Cao Chong didn't show his true skills, but he didn't care at all, and said with a smile on his face: "There are these reasons that the prince said, but they are not the most important. ” "Oh" Cao Chong looked at Yang Xiu with a smile and asked, "Then what does Dezu think is the main reason?"
Yang Xiu stared at Cao Chong carefully, and said word by word: "Han clan relatives." ” Han clan relatives Cao Chong was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved again.
The decline of the Han family is certainly a long-term process, but in the end, it was the so-called Han clan relatives who dealt the final blow to the decline of the Han family.
Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, Chen Wang Liu Chong, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and the last one is Liu Xuande after King Jing of Zhongshan.
The Han family declined, the Han emperor was in danger, and these people were indifferent, just as their own soil emperors.
Among them, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan is the most hateful, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is the most pity, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai is the most naïve, and Liu Xuande is the most shameless.
Liu Yan's hatefulness lies in the fact that he made a bad start and completely pushed the Han family into the abyss of no return.
Allowing the local government to hold huge power directly leads to the local detachment from the control of the central government.
And the reason why Liu Yu is the most regrettable is because Liu Yu almost became the new Han Emperor.
Liu Yu, the son of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Liu Qiang, the king of the East China Sea, and the son of Liu Shu, the Taishou of Danyang.
Liu Yu is a real member of the Han family, but his Youzhou assassination history was spelled out by himself.

Liu Yu is lenient and benevolent, appeases the people, and wins the hearts of the people.
People rushed to tell each other and compete to praise each other, so that Liu Yu was written into the song and remembered it in their hearts.
The members of the royal family have done a great job of being feudal officials in the territory, and of course the imperial court in peacetime must remove him from office.
In 187 AD, Liu Yu, due to his high prestige in the north, was reactivated by the lesser of two evils to quell the rebellion, and the rebels fled when they heard of him.
Liu Yu was promoted to Youzhou pastor.
Youzhou was originally a poor state, and it has always needed subsidies from Qingzhou and Jizhou to maintain the operation of the government.
Liu Yu lifted Youzhou out of poverty and became rich through foreign trade and salt and iron mining, but instead took in millions of refugees from Qingzhou and Xuzhou and made them live and work in peace and contentment.
Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and gave Liu Yu the top titles of Da Sima and Taifu.
When Yuan Shao was strong, he even wanted to support Liu Yu as the emperor, but Liu Yu resolutely refused to do it, saying that if he forced me again, I would go away from the Huns.
Yuan Shao is indeed a harborer, but Liu Yu has a state after all, and he is well-known, and his soldiers are strong.
If you agree, you will not become a puppet, but have the opportunity to grow your power, and it is precisely because of such foolish loyalty or fear that the Han family can only become a puppet in the hands of warlords.
As for Liu Bei's shamelessness, it means that he is thick-skinned.
Liu Bei was the queen of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, and Liu Yu, King of Lu Gong, were both brothers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Sheng's fertility was so strong that he gave birth to more than 120 sons alone, and the property of his descendants can be imagined.
We have reason to suspect that the radius of Liu Bei's house is after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan.
In this case, I am embarrassed to talk about the Han family, Liu Bei is thick-skinned, and it is really not covered.
After getting the tiger skin of the Han family, he mixed the title of Uncle Liu in Emperor Han Xian, and then completely abandoned Emperor Han Xian and became the emperor himself in Chengdu.
Cao Chong thought through these things in his heart, but he had new doubts in his heart.
What did Yang Xiu mean by saying these words to himself Could it be that there is something profound:
