Regarding Zhang Fei's joke, the others could only smile and then let out a long sigh.

Precisely because we are living in troubled times, everyone present longs for the peaceful and prosperous times.

Before that, the civil and military officials each had their own opinions on how the Han Dynasty ended up in his current situation step by step.

Some people think that Cao Cao had tampering intentions, some think that it was due to Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and others think that the trouble was caused by the Shi Chang Shi and the Yellow Turbans, and even bolder ones directly pointed out the two emperors Huan Ling.

But now a behemoth named Shijia appears in their sight.

This thing was conceived by the big man, and the big man was eventually devoured by him. On top of it, the princes and grandsons built banquets with orioles singing and dancing, while the people whose bones were knocked out and their marrow was sucked were sinking and wailing beneath it.

And Liu Bei couldn't help but asked his question in a low voice:

If we in the light curtain had not failed, wouldn't we have had this evil legacy that lasted for hundreds of years?

Kong Ming wanted to nod, but in the end he shook his head.

When Emperor Guangwu was Emperor Shizu, he must have understood and experienced the disasters of the aristocratic family, otherwise he would not have resigned from the throne and resigned from the throne and many other things. For Emperor Guangwu at that time, he had already done what he thought was the best.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, showed little signs of discouragement. He looked at the light screen with confidence:

I am not as wise as Kong Ming and worry about the future for hundreds of years, but as long as I can defeat Cao Cao's thieves, I think this world will be better than that of Wei and Jin anyway.

Kong Ming chuckled lightly and cupped his hands: Liang is willing to follow the lord, make the world peaceful and powerful, and enlighten the people's wisdom, so that he will not be poisoned for hundreds of years.

Pang Tong was a little envious, and he also raised his hand and said: I am willing to follow my lord, use my talents and make plans, destroy the rats in the east of the Yangtze River, and defeat the traitors of the Han Dynasty!

Zhang Fei scratched his head and finally gave up:

Brother, I am the same!

Li Shimin slowly retraced his words along the light curtain, and finally became speechless:

Is it all because of the imperial examination?

It is easy to get away with it if you don't keep your name secret, and when it comes to relationships and strong family background, a child from a humble family is naturally no match for a noble family.

The noble surname successfully dragged the imperial examination, which was highly praised by later generations, into a field they were familiar with, and then completely defeated their opponent Hanmen.

They also contributed to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty, and the eventual collapse of the Tang Dynasty also buried them in dust.

What made Li Shimin frown the most was the cronies that the scroll eventually brought:

What a great master and disciple.

Li Shimin tasted it and sneered:

From a powerful surname to a noble family, to a noble surname like this, do you want to share the world with me?

My heart will not be at ease unless that generation dies!

Empress Changsun gently patted the back of Li Shimin's hand to tell him not to get too excited, lest his head would hurt and he would moan again later.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked familiar. To them, His Majesty had experienced ups and downs today, and he would not be merciful if he bumped into his palm.

Moreover, Light Screen had previously said that this was the time when the great surname was weak, and it was indeed a good time to take action.

It's just... Fang and Du secretly exchanged a look:

Among the five surnames in Qiwangli, there is also Longxi Li, right?

Wei Zheng understood this experience for the first time. At this time, he felt like an icy wind blowing against his face, chilling him to the bone, and he stood there stunned.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui both came to the forefront. Both of them were veterans and could be said to have a good understanding.

Your Majesty has said so, and it is almost a certainty that you will get your name in the imperial examination.

Therefore, Fang and Du took the initiative to formulate new regulations for the imperial examination.

Li Shihuang and Yuchi Jingde also expressed their willingness to lead troops there if the surname wanted to cause trouble.

However, Li Shimin waved his hands and felt that there was no need to worry: it was best for them to cause trouble.

After the incident was revealed, Li Shimin once again mocked his descendant:

If you really believe what Li Linfu said, you are a foolish person.

If you guess that you are being deceived and do nothing, then you are a stupid person!

Of course, there is a more terrifying possibility, that is, although he guessed that he was deceived, he did not dare to act rashly because of the overwhelming power of the prime minister.

As a result, Li Shimin's mood became even more depressed. He felt that the history of the late Tang Dynasty was like a prison rope, binding him unable to move.

Looking at the name Huang Chao that finally appeared, Li Shimin looked coldly:

The Jin Dynasty's nobles committed crimes, which led to the rebellion of the Eight Kings and the disaster of Yongjia.

The nobles of the Tang Dynasty committed evil and created a Huangchao that destroyed them.

Really no progress at all?

[The noble families of the Tang Dynasty gradually adapted to the imperial examination, but conversely, the imperial examination also completed the final wave of transformation for the noble families.

A very important point of the Xingjuan gameplay they developed is that Jingzhao is the most precious thing.

After all, it doesn't matter whether you want to give gifts and form a party, or you want to determine your ranking in the imperial examination, or you just want to participate in the imperial examination.

No matter which of the above, living in the capital is definitely more convenient than living locally.

In this process, the noble families of the Tang Dynasty gradually revealed three characteristics:

That is, centralization, urbanization, and demilitarization.

The aristocratic families of the Han and Jin dynasties were basically dual families, that is, they used the family of the country manor to generate wealth, and then used the wealth to exchange for the family of the capital to gain power.

For the aristocratic families of these two dynasties, the land, tenant farmers, tribesmen, retainers, etc. in the large country estates were the foundation of their strength.

However, in order to adapt to the imperial examination system, the nobles of the Tang Dynasty began to live far away from their original places of origin, and began to gather in the two-capital corridor area: that is, the line from Chang'an to Luoyang.

After succeeding in the imperial examination, the powerful gentry took advantage of the situation and transitioned from local forces to central bureaucrats.

And since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it has become a tradition that officials and civilians work in different places. That is to say, if your ancestral home is Shandong, then the central government will definitely not send you back to Shandong to serve as an official.

During this process, the control of the wealthy gentry over the land in rural manors plummeted, and the Liangjing Corridor area gradually became the new hometown of the wealthy gentry.

After the decline of the manors controlled by the noble families, and the collapse of the land equalization system in the late Tang Dynasty, the recruitment system gradually emerged. The slaves who were pardoned as good men also had more choices. They no longer had to devote themselves to these manors. The number of noble families had already shrunk. There are very few songs left.

It was precisely because of the centralization and urbanization of the noble families that Huang Chao was able to successfully wipe out all the noble families after he finally invaded Chang'an.

And demilitarization also left them with almost no ability to resist when facing Huang Chao.

Judging from the final outcome, the powerful people are still stubborn after hundreds of years.

After all, from Liu Yuan to Shi Le, Liu Yu to Hou Jing, and then to Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, it can be said that these gravediggers were basically forced out by the powerful.

From this point of view, the family even has to thank Huang Chao for helping them break this ugly cycle. After all:

Why are ordinary people afraid of Huang Chao coming? Both high and low will share the same pot! 】

Huang Chao tomorrow, then this video should come to an end, thank you.
