Chapter 262: The Theory of Family "Don't talk about this, let's continue to talk about the current situation," Li Zhen hurriedly changed the topic by looking at the widow and wanting to persuade him again: "Anyway, our side has been over for so long, why is there no movement in the same road city?"
” Xue Rengui also said: "It's a bit strange, but it shouldn't be a big problem, just send a hot air balloon to the city to scout later." ” "Just do as you say, anyway, be careful."
"Yes, the subordinates will pay attention."
An hour later, Xue Rengui came over to report: "Your Highness, our investigation has failed.
The hot air balloon didn't find anything, the city was full of smoke, and I don't know how many fires they lit, covering the whole city, and nothing could be seen from above - the other party must have already known that we had a hot air balloon, and they came prepared. ” "It's okay, that's to be expected."
Li Zhen didn't care: "Not to mention that we have used hot air balloons many times along the way, let's just say that Zhenla has the support of the family behind it, and we are afraid that the other party does not know a lot of information." ” "This group of traitors ......"
Xue Rengui clenched his fists white, and said hatefully: "For their own selfish interests, they betray the interests of the country and collude with foreign enemies, and the family ......
What a family.
It's a shame that they still have the face to claim to be loyal and patriotic?
” "Why bother with them?
If the family can be called loyal and patriotic, then the Bank of China (a famous traitor in history and the originator of the traitor) can be called a Han spy who broke into the Hun camp.
Li Zhen sneered: "If the family is really as good as they say they are."
So how did the Qin Dynasty fall?
How did the Western Han Dynasty perish?
Who perished in the Eastern Han Dynasty?
How did the 400 years of turmoil in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties (if you count from the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, that is, 184 AD, to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty in 581 AD, a total of 398 years, almost 400 years)?
In whose hands did the Sui Dynasty fall......
There should never be such a thing as a family. ” The more Li Zhen said, the more angry he became, the Qin Dynasty was still destroyed in the hands of the remnants of the six Kwantung countries in the end, as for the peasant uprising?
No kidding?
Look at those anti-Qin princes at that time, except for Liu Bang, which of the others was not the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?
And the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are the prototype of the family. and in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, the family fought for power and profit, and even the emperor dared to die, and finally let the representative of the family, Wang Mang, who was the most suspected traverser in history except for Li Zhen, usurp the throne.
However, after Wang Mang usurped the throne, he did not give back much benefit to the family, but began to weaken the family's rights through various reforms.
The interests of the family were greatly hit, so there was the rise of Liu Xiu - it can be said that the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty basically relied on the family, so after winning the world, Liu Xiu rewarded the wealthy family with a large number of rewards, and the family officially rose.
And the consequence is that the Eastern Han Dynasty began to decline after three generations of strong (Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Ming and Emperor Zhang), since Emperor Zhang, starting from Emperor He, to Emperor Yan, Emperor An, Emperor Ying, Emperor Shun, Emperor Chong, Emperor Qian, Emperor Huan, Emperor Ling, Emperor Shao and the last Emperor Xian, either by the family erection, or by the power of the ministers, even if occasionally able to rise up to regain power, most of them do not live long - for example, Emperor He, who was only ten years old when he first succeeded to the throne, was first listened to by the Empress Dowager Dou, and then by his relative Dou Xian took power, and finally killed Dou Xian to regain power, It didn't take long for him to get sick and hang up......
As for whether he died of illness or was assassinated by some people, it is up to the wise to see what is wise.
It can be said that Liu Xiu relied on the family to get the world, and he had already bought the foreshadowing for the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty. followed by the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, which was also a competition among the families, Wei Shu and Wu fought for the brains of the world, but the final result was stolen by the Sima family.
But Sima is not good, although he relies on the family very much, but he does not satisfy the appetite of the family.
Because there was no external enemy, they began to fight among themselves - the battle between the family and the family began, and this time the struggle was even more fierce, and finally the vitality of the Jin Dynasty was completely consumed, and the world that the Sima clan had managed to achieve with great difficulty was corrupted.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to make a country like this with just a rebellion of the eight kings - the scale of the rebellion of the seven kings of the Han Dynasty was no worse than the rebellion of the eight kings, and I didn't see what happened to the country of the Western Han Dynasty.
The weakness of the Jin Dynasty led to the most direct and serious consequence of the Wuhu chaos - the Hu people regarded the Han people as pigs and dogs, and called the Han people "two-legged sheep", not only killing them wantonly, but also roasting and eating them......
The Han people, who had just survived the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty and had not had time to catch their breath, ushered in another catastrophe - according to incomplete statistics, the number of Han people was once reduced to less than five million at the height of the massacre.
If it weren't for the sudden rise of Ran Min and the issuance of the 'Kill Hu Order' that allowed the Han people to rise up and resist, the bloodline of the Han people could be preserved.
It's a pity that Ran Min's exploits were not praised by the world, but were deliberately concealed by historians, and were scolded as the butcher of the world by later Confucian students.
The reason for this is ridiculous, that is, because of the killing of Hu Ling, killing Hu Ling slaughtered a large number of Hu people (the specific number is not clear, but in Yecheng alone, more than 200,000 people were slaughtered, which shows the horror of killing Hu Ling), which is inconsistent with the Confucian way of benevolence and forgiveness.
In addition, the time for the killing of Hu Ling was too short (the Ran Wei Empire only existed for two years, Ran Min was killed, and the killing of Hu Ling was naturally canceled), and finally under the conspiracy of Confucianism, Ran Min was successfully hidden in history.
If Li Shimin hadn't overturned the case for him later, it is estimated that few people would have remembered that when the Han nation was in the most crisis, there was such a hero who made such a great contribution to the continuation of the Han nationality. finally calmed down the troubled times, and the world returned to the Sui, but because of the imperial examination system and a series of actions of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the interests of the family were once again damaged, so the Sui Dynasty fell and the Tang Dynasty was established.
Originally, the family felt that the Tang Dynasty had just been established, and it was a good time for them to control the government, and they did the same.
It's a pity, Datang out of Li Shimin such a strange card that does not follow common sense, after he ascended the throne, the first time to cut off the hand stretched out by the family, and launched a variety of foreign wars, not only established their own majesty, but also diverted the attention of the country, and after the family reacted, he has stabilized the government, and supported the Guanlong family group against the family, since then it can be regarded as stable for a period of time.
But even so, Li Shimin only suppressed the family and did not eliminate it.
The real decline of the family began to appear during the Wu Zetian period, and the first empress of the ages dared to do such a thing as being the emperor, let alone compromise with the mere family.
In addition, after the suppression of the two generations of emperors Li Shimin and Li Zhi, the power of the family has been weakened a lot.
After a bloody massacre, the power of the family did not exist, and began to gradually withdraw from the stage of history, and finally in the Huangchao Uprising, it was completely killed by the rebel army, becoming a term in history.
