After Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne, he met the first nobleman in his life, Jia Yi. This person is not simple, he is the chief designer of the successful transformation of Dahan.
Jia Yi may not be familiar to everyone, but his work "On Passing the Qin" must have been seen by everyone. Jia Yi died young, at the age of thirty-three, otherwise he could have left a few more masterpieces. He was not only a writer, but also a statesman, but also a very great kind, and his limited life was devoted to unlimited service to the emperor, and he lived to worry about the country and the people.
He made many suggestions to Emperor Wen of Han, some of which even influenced China's two-thousand-year-old feudal dynasty, such as: "Emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, and advocate Confucianism" and so on.
When Jia Yi was alive, the Han Dynasty did not have anything he did not mix in terms of economy, people's livelihood, justice, national defense, and so on. What is even more valuable is that even if he falls out of favor, he is constantly making suggestions, not to mention that Emperor Wendi can't take care of it, and this brother always guarantees the quality and quantity of suggestions.
Among Jia Yiti's massive suggestions, Emperor Wen listened to some of them, some did not listen, anyway, if you like to listen or not, I will not stop smirking.
Among Jia Yi's many policies for benefiting the country and the people, one of them has successfully solved the problem of the tail of the military industrial clique.'
In the winter and October of the second year of Emperor Wen's reign, he summoned: "The princes of the ancients established the country and defended their land, and paid tribute to the people at the right time, and the people did not work hard, and the people rejoiced up and down, and it was against morality." Now most of the princes live in Chang'an, Yiyuan, and the officials give them hardships, and the princes have no reason to teach their people. He ordered the kingdom of the princes to send the crown prince to those who were stopped by the officials and edicts. ”
The translation is to say: I once heard that in ancient times, there were thousands of princes who founded the country, and the princes each guarded their own acres and three points of land, paid tribute regularly, the people did not work hard, the whole country was harmonious, and there was no law and crime. Now the princes are all staying in Chang'an, everyone's fiefdom is so far away, and every year's profits have to be transported by the officials thousands of miles, and the princes are not good at educating their people. Now, all the princes should return to their own fiefdoms, and those who hold official positions in the central government or who I explicitly do not allow them to leave must also send the prince.
What did Emperor Wen of Han really want to do?
Emperor Wen of Han did not move anyone's interests, on the contrary, he also put up tall words to help you save money. This idea was Jia Yi's idea, a conspiracy to dismantle the relationship network of the Military Merit Group.
After Liu Bang laid the foundation for the world, these old brothers, especially the group of people from Fengpei's hometown, who did not want to go back when they got the fiefdom, all enjoyed the prosperity of the metropolis in Chang'an, and their fiefdom was a blood transfusion money bag. Of course, this is also understandable, put aside today's equal treatment, let you leave Beijing, go to the third-tier cities, you are not happy.
In Chang'an, these rich old brothers who "retire" are either high-ranking officials themselves, or their descendants are experienced in the workplace, and some even the whole family is idle but the backstage is still hard.
Those who should be at work are still working here, and the retired or idle comrades will return to the country to become bosses and educate their subjects, and you will stay here every day to work hard and hurt the people and increase the burden on the people. Because you have me, I have you. These old brothers of the Fengpei family are all close to each other, my little boy married your daughter, your mother is the mother of our son, and your uncle's third sister is my aunt. In the final analysis, the people who came out of this gang of people who laid the foundation for the revolution were all family members.
What kind of relationship is iron enough? Carrying a gun together, xxx together has the most iron relationship. After the old brothers of the Western Han Dynasty will have a blessing in the great difficulty of not dying, they will go to the door at every turn, find a few old comrades-in-arms to open a party, reminisce about the past and the thick years, and spend time in each other's spanking, hugging and crying, contacting feelings, and talking about current affairs.
Therefore, when Lü Hou moved his power in his later years, the old comrades of the Fengpei Department quickly twisted into a rope!
A group of people gathered to discuss the affairs of the imperial court.
The first one said: Have you heard? The unlucky ladies of the Lu family spared Old Chen's chancellor and let her nephew do it!
The second one said: No, this big man is going to change the sky! In the future, I am afraid that it will all be the world of his Lu family!
The third said: The opposite is her, this is the country we have beaten down!
The fourth slapped the table and angrily said: This can be endured! Therna is not human! We can't sit still! Kill these bastards!
After that, it is a secret discussion on how to oppose Lu!
In the final coup d'état between Zhou Bo and Chen Ping, the people who could be used in Chang'an City who could quickly gathered them all gathered together and quelled the rebellion of Zhulu with lightning speed.
The throne of Liu Heng, the Emperor of HanWen, was also voted by the military merit group represented by feng pei's old brothers. The huge force of the Military Merit Group is an almost omnipresent force, and its influence is so great that it can shake the earth.
After Jia Yi's trick, the foundation of the military merit group was torn down. A large number of old comrades went to the countryside and went to the local lords, and there was no way to watch the beautiful scenery of this dynasty together.
Many key ties have been severed as a result.
For example, Zhang San and Wang Wu are not familiar, but the two have an iron relationship with Li Si, and the three of them can push the cup to change the cup at a wine table. Now that Li Si had returned to the fiefdom to "enjoy happiness", Zhang San and Wang Wu's correspondence would naturally not be as dense as before.
A large number of princes returned to the country, and without the participation of powerful subjects, the pressure on the emperor was much lighter. Although some powerful marquises still held important positions in the imperial court. But the connection between these people, from the past you have me and I have you entangled in a big lump. It became a small lump with many broken lines.
Although the Abundance department still retains a part of the network, it has reduced its dimension. As long as the geometric order of magnitude of complex interpersonal relationships is reduced, the difficulty of each break is greatly reduced.
More crucially, due to the return of a large number of marquises to China, starting from the three generations of the military, the new generation of the military merit group will no longer know each other. Without the baptism of war, the three generations of these armies have a peaceful relationship with each other.
The entire military merit group is broken from the root, and the power of the military merit group is destined to eventually wither with the passage of time!
Wise people never treat everyone else as fools, and Emperor Wen of Han ordered the central government to move the feudal states outside the kingdom of the princes to the territory of the central government in order to make those old comrades willingly go to the fiefdom. It is good that I do not toss you in vain, and give you a new princely kingdom that is bigger than your previous fiefdom.
Emperor Wen was using his own losses and slowly boiling frogs in warm water. I have given you the benefits, but you have to be within the control of my jurisdiction, and you in the province are hooking up with the princes.
How good is this wave of operation?
Xiangguo Zhou Boquan fell to the opposition, and when he was in Chang'an, who looked at whom, even the emperor was able to treat him with courtesy. Later, when he stepped down from Xiangguo to retire to the feudal state, only a year later, when the Hedong shouwei passed by his territory, Zhou Bo was afraid that the emperor was going to kill him, so he wore armor on weekdays, and when he saw the shouwei, he let his family take weapons to accompany him before he dared to see him.
A small guard passed by, which made Zhou Bo, who used to be above ten thousand people under one person, frighten him like this. Why?
The sources of intelligence information are not timely and inaccurate. Zhou Bo had no idea what the Central Committee really wanted to do! When you're far from the center of power, you're blinded.
After Emperor Wen ordered the military merit group to return to each family, Emperor Wen did not move the military industrial group in the end.
More than twenty years later, the old cadre corps that was full of vigor in the early Han Dynasty lost the hostility that no one could touch little by little after drawing salaries from the bottom of the cauldron, and also paved the way for Emperor Jing to end the "Alliance of the White Horse" later.
