Chapter 256

The meeting continued, and the aristocratic family was discussing.

The main purpose was to encourage King Yang Jun of Qin to rebel, and then send troops to capture Linyu Pass, intercept the Emperor of Sui outside the pass, and fight against Yang Guang with the inside and outside.

As for this, it will result in the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

There are also chaos in the world, etc.

For the aristocratic family, it is a small matter.

The aristocratic families liked the Northern and Southern Dynasties and opposed unification.

Because only when the turmoil is constant can aristocratic families annex large amount of land, population, build forts, and become local emperors.

But in the era of unification, the land of the aristocratic families was cut off, slaves were cut off, and the fort was not allowed to be built, which was a huge loss.

How could a thousand-year-old family, a hundred-year-old dynasty, a mere century-old dynasty want to ride on the head of aristocratic family and stiletto and pee?

If the Great Sui Dynasty is so ignorant, then it will destroy the Sui Dynasty.

The aristocratic families think so.

This principle is like the chaebols and governments in later generations. The government should obediently listen to the chaebols and become the chaebol's chaebols' baddies.

If the government wants to weaken the chaebol and attack the chaebol, then kill the government and replace it with another one.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to trigger a civil war.

As for how many people will die and how many refugees will be caused during the war, it is just a trivial matter.

Capital has no country, and this country is in chaos and no longer makes money. Then change to another country and then to the next country.

Capital has no country, and capitalists are not patriotic, and capitalists only love money.

This is extremely similar to the families of the Sui Dynasty.

...

In a quiet moment, someone returned to Yang's mansion.

It was Yang Xuangan.

"Father, Dugu family, Li family, etc., will take advantage of His Majesty's expedition to Goryeo and give a fatal blow. Should we stand on His Majesty's side or on the aristocratic family!"

Yang Xuangan talked about the specific inside story of the meeting.

Yang Su nodded and said, "Support the King of Qin as the emperor and kill His Majesty... They are very calculating. It's just a mysterious feeling, what do you think?"

Yang Xuangan said: "In recent years, the saints have been constantly suppressing the aristocratic families. My Yang family's troops, slaves, fields, etc. have been affected. It is better to rebel against him!"

Yang Su, from the Yang family of Hongnong, is a big family. He has a large number of shops, cultivated land, slaves, tribes, etc. under his command.

There are also various in-laws, which also occupy a large amount of arable land and population.

Most arable land and household registration are black households and do not pay taxes.

But after the Emperor of Sui was struggling, the black households and black land turned into white households and white land, and the interests of the Yang family were damaged, and they were extremely dissatisfied with the Emperor of Sui.

"Damn it!"

Yang Su cursed: "It's just a diligence, a household registration, but just a loss of money. It's nothing to my Yang family. Remember that the Yang family of Hongnong can continue to this day, because it's not because of the many fields and slaves, but because of the inheritance of poetry and books."

"If those people want to commit suicide, let them go! They can't fight against the Emperor of Sui!"

"As for you, you should study at home, don't go out to join us!"

"The sage attaches importance to the imperial examination and replaces the nine-rank Zhongzheng system with the imperial examination. Then you go to the exam. It is the same exam, how could our Yang family be afraid of those mud legs!"

Speaking of this, Yang Su was extremely domineering.

The imperial examination competition is talent and knowledge, and most people are not qualified to study.

Many books, excellent teachers, and money to study with peace of mind have basically eliminated the possibility of participating in the lower class.

However, the aristocratic families are different. The aristocratic families have always been known for their inheritance of classics. With a thousand years of heritage, many families have rich books that are comparable to those of the country, including rare and lonely books.

Children from aristocratic families are not lacking in the teachings of famous teachers, and they also have enough family property to allow children of the family to study with peace of mind, so they do not have to be troubled by their daily life and clothing.

With such all-round resource advantages, it is difficult for common people to compete with aristocratic families.

Those mud legs (common landlords) are much worse than the cultural heritage of the aristocratic families.

After the imperial examinations were implemented, there were eight families in each exam, two poor families occupied, and all the people in the court were from the aristocratic families.

Even if one or two lucky people pass the exam occasionally and become Qi Tongwei, they will be marginalized.

Yang Su said: "If you don't participate in it, they won't succeed. I have a premonition that Your Majesty is fishing... Maybe among those participating families, there are emperors!"

"Those who shout slogans who are active may turn around and sell you!"

"Our emperor is secretly silence!"

Yang Xuangan said: "What should you do with Your Majesty?"

Yang Su said: "Your Majesty wants to suppress the aristocratic families, but if many aristocratic families are honest, your Majesty will not be able to do it. Therefore, you have to give the aristocratic families a flaw and let the aristocratic families see the opportunity. At that time, your Majesty can kill pigs!"

"Kill the pig!"

Listening to this noun, Yang Xuan felt inexplicably sad: "Can you let the emperor bully my aristocratic family!"

Yang Su said: "Emperor Wu of Wei Tuoba Tao is alive. Whoever dares to rebel in the aristocratic family will die. Chen Baxian is alive, and no one in the aristocratic family will rebel!"

"No one can rebel successfully, even if our Majesty is alive!"

"It's a pity that people will die."

"Your Majesty can suppress the aristocratic family for a while, but it cannot suppress the eternal ones. The battle between the aristocratic family and the imperial power is not a temporary one, but a long time."

"The emperor can suppress the aristocratic family, but the prince may not be able to!"

...

The car is a scattered person, and the horse is a scattered person.

The army slowly advanced along the canal.

Xiang Yu was sitting upright in the carriage and was correcting the test paper.

"No, no, the aristocratic families passed the exam were seven or eight, and there were less than one or two poor families! Sure enough, it was difficult for poor families to have a noble son!" Xiang Yu sighed slightly.

Looking at these test papers is extremely troubled.

The purpose of the imperial examination is mainly to suppress aristocratic families.

However, the early imperial examinations suppressed the aristocratic families less, but instead strengthened the aristocratic families.

Only in the Song Dynasty did the imperial examinations have the effect of suppressing aristocratic families.

In the Song Dynasty, the popularization of movable type printing led to the popularization of books, the cost of education decreased, and the number of literacy increased. At the same time, the Song Dynasty increased the acceptance rate of Jinshi.

In each exam, there were only a dozen Jinshi admitted to the Tang Dynasty, or even one without one. Typically, it would be better to have nothing than to be too bad.

However, the number of Jinshi admitted to the Song Dynasty was at least 100 people, and they passed with a big stroke.

The aristocratic family has a deep foundation and the children they train are indeed more likely to pass the imperial examination, but their number is too small. In this case, civilians with a huge base naturally have the advantage, and officials from common people quickly surpass the aristocratic family and have the advantage in the court.

Of course, this practice of the Song Dynasty led to the birth of a new family.

When a civilian becomes an official through study and imperial examinations, he has already left the status of a civilian. After obtaining resources, he will provide sufficient learning conditions for the next generation of descendants. With his innate advantages, his offspring has a greater chance of becoming an official through imperial examinations. If his fathers assist in the court, they will go smoother, and the descendants of the next generation will repeat this process. With such a snowball, a new family was born.

However, unlike the previous situation where the clans in the past were difficult to control, the Song Dynasty was very weak and could not last long.

In essence, this is no longer aristocratic family.

Although the children of the Song Dynasty had a certain advantage over the common people, they did not widen the gap to a position of almost monopolizing fame and fame, and civilians continued to rise and counterattack.

"It seems that the only imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty are truly suppressing the aristocratic families...will the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty be implemented?"

Xiang Yu flashed a trace of hesitation.

As long as the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty were implemented, within less than a hundred years, the so-called five surnames and seven hopes immediately collapsed without any strength to fight back.

However, the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty also strengthened the bureaucracy and became poor and weak.

The Song Dynasty could not defeat the Liao Kingdom, the Western Xia Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and the Mongolian Kingdom.

If it were during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the so-called weak chickens in Liao, the weak chickens in Xixia, the weak chickens in Jin, and the Mongolians were also weak chickens, and it would be impossible to destroy them if you waved your hand.

If the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty were implemented, he would have been ruined by the aristocratic family, but external troubles would have been intensified.

Maybe a hundred years later, the shame of Jingkang will be staged.

"The aristocratic families need to be suppressed, they need to be suppressed, but they cannot be killed with one blow. I don't want the Sui Dynasty to stage a weak Sui Dynasty in advance!" Xiang Yu said: "Since the imperial examinations cannot be suppressed, then use military merits to suppress the aristocratic families!"

It is better to be a centurion than to be a scholar.

It was a very failure for the Tang Dynasty to use the imperial examination to suppress aristocratic families.

It was very successful to use military merit to suppress the aristocratic families.

It is difficult to get promoted by the imperial examination; if you want to get promoted, you can join the frontier and join the army by relying on military merits, as long as you don’t die in a hundred battles, you can get promoted by the Rockets.
