Chapter 46 Jinyang Wang’s decision
The Guo family of Yangqu became famous again.
It’s just that this time it’s famous and polarizing.
The common people of the Han Dynasty kept praising Guo for his profound understanding of righteousness and his loyalty to the country, and they kept praising him for his willingness to destroy his family to relieve difficulties.
As for the nobles, especially the nobles who were engraved on the monument of shame, they hated the Guo family you want to be a loyal minister, we have no problem with it, just go ahead and be one, but why are you dragging us into the water like this?According to your opinion, if you want to get down from the monument of shame, you must first pay ten times the fine and then donate your land, population and private soldiers?
Are you such a dog?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! But things have already been done, what can we do? He can only be driven out of the court.
Not long after, at the Luoyang Great Court Meeting, the imperial edict came down.
Wang Rou, the general who protected the Xiongnu, Wang Ze, the prefect of Daijun, Wang Yun, the imperial censor, and Wen Shu, the prefect of Zhuojun, resigned from office and returned home because of their bad conduct.
Although the great Sinong Guo Quan had shortcomings in virtue, the sage said: "A lot can be improved by knowing your mistakes." He moved to the right to act as the prefect of the county, replacing Wang Ze's position.
The Luoyang gentry were very happy because they drove the Guo family out of the court.
Emperor Liu Hong was also very happy because this was an internal fight between the gentry.
Only the Bingzhou nobles were injured, because they were the ones who were unlucky.
That's how things came to an end.
The Hongnong Yang family, Runan Yuan family and other noble families were very happy. They had already guessed that the man in the north had a back-up plan. They did not try to be clever and made a name for themselves. It was just very expensive, but this suited his style.
The Yuan family of Chen County, the Wang family of Jinyang, the Wang family of Qixian County, and the Wen family of Qixian County all suffered from continuous rain. is the problem.
The form is grim.
Some families use their connections to eliminate negative influences, such as the Yuan family of Chen County. After Yuan Huan did such a thing, Yuan Pang knew that he would definitely take revenge based on his temperament, but he didn't expect it to be so Ruthless, attack the lifeblood of the Yuan family in Chen County.
Yuan Pang could only go out of his way to pay homage to His Majesty. Emperor Liu Hong couldn't bear it when he saw that Yuan Pang was so old, so he sent someone to tell Liu Han that the gift would be cancelled.
This time, not only do I have to give gifts, I also have to thank people, which is really all, Yuan Pang couldn't afford to lose that person, and Chenjun Yuan's family couldn't afford to lose that person.
Some families choose to pretend to be dead for the time being. After all, they have chosen to be Liu Han's enemy. They don't itch if there are too many lice, and don't worry about too many debts. For example, the Wang family and Wen family in Qixian County can't afford to offend them, so why can't they hide from them?
These two families chose to refuse guests behind closed doors and blocked all exchanges between the family and Bingbei. Food, medicine, and weapons. No matter what, Bingbei could not get it from these two families, and they could not use their channels. They mainly refused to cooperate.
Another branch of the Wang family in Jinyang had great disagreements, mainly between the two brothers Wang Rou and Wang Ze.
As a military general, Wang Rou could see that there would be a big war between the Han Dynasty and Xianbei in the future, and war meant military , taking refuge in General Zhenbei can quickly bring the Wang family into the center and revitalize the family.
But Wang Ze is not like that. As a member of the Wang family in Jinyang, his idea is to follow the gentry on the front line. Wang Yun has already become the censor, and someone from the Wang family has entered the center. When this matter is over, the Wang family will continue to do so. If you can enter the center, why pay a huge price?Land, private soldiers, and population are the foundation of the Wang family. Liu Han is digging into the roots of the Wang family in Jinyang.
To be honest, Wang Rou was worried. As the head of the Wang family in Jinyang, he had to be responsible for the whole family and was under great pressure.
As the leader of the clan, he could see that the Han Dynasty was now tired. Although the Southern Xiongnu did not rebel, there were still ambitious people inside. However, there were many nobles and eunuchs in chaos, fighting for power and General Zhenbei's methods were bad, his purpose was to weaken the power of the gentry and rectify believe that within three years, Bingzhou will be able to regain its strength, and in ten years it will even be comparable to Jizhou! And he has an army of [-] tigers and wolves, and he will support him in the court in the future. No one can get around this man.
This was Wang Rou's intuition as a lieutenant general protecting the Huns.
In the end, Wang Rouli made up his mind and overcame all opinions. As the clan leader, he resolutely went north. Not only did he hand over his fields, hidden people and private troops, he also handed over the clan's industry and submitted a certificate of surrender.
Liu Han, who was in the Yin Pavilion of the Yanmen Government Office, did not expect that the Jinyang Wang family was even more courageous than the Yangqu Guo family. Since he dared to give, Liu Han dared to accept.
Liu Han knew very well that without technological progress, the electoral system could not be advanced. If the people's wisdom was not enlightened, the Han Dynasty would need the gentry. Moreover, the gentry could not be killed cleanly. From the gentry in the Han Dynasty to the gentry in the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, The aristocratic families, all the way down to the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and the gentry after the Song Dynasty, were all products born out of the needs of the ruling class.
Therefore, even if Liu Han tries his best to kill all the existing nobles now, new nobles will still be born in the future, and these nobles will be the descendants of the group of people who followed him.
After all, everyone has selfish motives, and building a career is not only for his own fame, but also for his wife and children.
Therefore, Liu Han's initial attitude towards the gentry was to win over, divide, suppress and eliminate them.
For those who can be won over, give them career opportunities, disband private soldiers, hand over the hidden population, leave the land to do business, and impose legal restrictions.
For those who want to make bets from all sides, division and suppression will prevent these noble families from growing.
For those who resist, kill them all!
Recover land, county, and county, and clean up bit by bit. It doesn't matter if it takes your time, as long as it's clean.
What we have to do now is to establish a base with sufficient foundation, expedition to the north of Xianbei, control the grasslands and horse farms, and then build high walls and store grain. When the Han Dynasty changes dramatically and the world is upside down, lead the army to conquer the old territory. Rivers and mountains!
"Yuan Hao and Zhicai, gentlemen, do you want to accept or not accept the certificate of investment from the Wang family in Jinyang?"
"My lord, although Feng is not talented, it can be seen that the Wang family of Jinyang also wants to gamble on my lord and gain a future. After all, there are very few people from Bingzhou who enter the central government."
"Yes, Zhongya agrees with Mr. Yuan Hao's opinion. Since they have decided to do this, it is in line with the lord's strategy of weakening the nobles. Moreover, we are in Bingzhou. These local nobles have natural advantages. They have already pulled out their teeth and are willing to do it. The great man’s loyal dog should be accepted.”
That's right, handing over these to the Wang family of Jinyang means that they are separated from the gentry. Since they are willing to come, there is no reason not to accept them.
After all, as a Han Chinese, killing is the last resort, and it would be best to shed less blood.
"Wang Rou, since he was originally the general who protected the Huns, let him go to Dingxiang as the chief officer, and Yan Xingxing as the deputy.
His younger brother Wang Ze went to Shuofang to serve as the county guard, so Xu Rong's burden could be lightened and he could concentrate on preparing for war. "
"Here."
"We still have to say ugly words first. If they make a mistake, they will still lose their heads."
"Here."
