"All the king's land under the world is the king's land, and all the king's ministers are the king's ministers"

This is a favorite saying by emperors of the unified dynasty in the feudal era, but in fact, since the end of the Han Dynasty, this sentence has gradually changed.

Especially since the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains has fallen into a division that lasted for hundreds of years. In the era of division, war and chaos, aristocratic families have gradually emerged.

"In the old days, the swallows in front of the King and Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people."

This "Wang Xie" does not refer to one person, but to two surnames: Wang He Xie. The Wang family and Xie family were the masters of the aristocratic families during the Jin Dynasty. The two most dazzling figures Wang Dao and Xie An, both of whom had served as prime minister and controlled the government for decades. "The king and horse share the world", so that ordinary people only knew that there was Wang Xie, but not the royal family. It can be seen that the power and power of the aristocratic families were so great.

The aristocratic families often originated from the "family". At the beginning, the family was very small, with only a few people, but after several generations of reproduction, this originally small family gradually became huge and gathered together to form "tribes". At this time, the "tribes" could not be regarded as the aristocratic families, but they only had their own prototypes.

Then, due to war or other factors, many outstanding pillars of the clan appeared in this clan, entering the state power level and controlling important state positions. These people, based on the principle of "selecting talents but not avoiding relatives", vigorously absorbed people from their clan into the state power. Over time, the entire state power will be filled with people from the clan.

As a result, aristocratic families were formed.

Especially in the late Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the aristocratic families developed more and more powerful. For example, the eastern and western Wei, Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, Great Sui, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen in the Southern Dynasties, these dynasties almost all fell to the hands of more powerful aristocratic families. When the power of the aristocratic families reached its peak, they often usurped the previous dynasties and established themselves. This was the case with the alternation of the Southern and Northern Dynasties for hundreds of years.

In the late Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the local area, they occupied a large amount of land and slaves and implemented the "manor" economic development model. Each manor had its own military armed forces, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands, becoming a veritable kingdom. The owner of the manor was like an emperor, with absolute authority over the affairs in the manor. The website was high-quality update, and what was even more ruthless was that they did not have to pay taxes. The income belonged to them completely.

Politically, this group of people formulated various policies and laws that benefit themselves. The most notorious one is the "hereditary system". Not only are the titles hereditary, but also military positions, and other civil and military officials.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the aristocratic families developed to their peak. Four traditional families appeared: the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Wang family of Taiyuan. In the south, there were great surnames such as Wang, Xie, Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu.

Due to years of war, some families gradually declined, while others flourished for various reasons.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the north experienced a bloody baptism. Many aristocratic families went to the south to avoid war and merged with the indigenous tribes in the south. In this way, the power of the aristocratic families in the north gradually declined. The south was relatively peaceful and stable, so it basically had no impact on the aristocratic families. In addition, several regimes in the Southern Dynasties treated them with special preferences, so the aristocratic families in the south did not decline, but became more prosperous.

Moreover, since these aristocratic families are all ** kingdoms and have no economic interest exchanges with the central government. Therefore, they have almost no national concept in their hearts and rarely pay attention to national affairs. It is precisely because of this mentality that when the Sui Dynasty attacked Nanchen, they were indifferent and truly achieved "no matters to be high"! In the eyes of this group of people, any regime is the same, and there is no essential difference, as long as they can guarantee their political and economic privileges.

As the saying goes, the most prosperous ones will be played, everything is the same. After the Sui Dynasty unified the north and south, the aristocratic families began to decline inevitably. Yang Jian himself was also a clan and usurped the throne and established the dynasty. Of course, he was very vigilant about these same clan families, especially after destroying the Chen Dynasty, the first one he dealt with was the Jiangnan family, which had nothing to do with the Guanlong Group, the ruling group of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Jian's approach was very simple. He first introduced many strict policies to force most of these aristocratic families that had been high over the years to rebel. Then the army that had been waiting for a long time went to the south, and all those who rebeled were killed. After a bloody purge, the Jiangnan family suffered countless casualties and were honest.

At this time, Yang Jian finished the big stick and began to comfort the remaining aristocratic families, and revised many of the policies that were originally too strict. However, the forces of the aristocratic families in Jiangnan had almost been destroyed. The rest were all honest.

When Chen Kefu first learned about the rebellion in the south, Mao Xi told him. At that time, Mao Xi told him that the Jiangnan family rebelled because they were dissatisfied with the old Chen and were dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty, so they rebelled and planned to repel the Chen Dynasty. After hearing this, Chen Kefu, who was still a young man, was still very excited. He felt that these Jiangnan families were really loyal and righteous ministers. No wonder they all said that they had traveled south and inherited the Han Dynasty.

Later, he fought in Liaodong and once again came into contact with the Jiangnan family. The answer he got at that time was that Yang Jian wanted to implement the equal-land system in Jiangnan and attracted the interests of the aristocratic families, so the aristocratic families turned against him. Yang Jian despised the strength of the Jiangnan family, so he caused Jiangnan to rebel and suffered heavy losses. At that time, he felt that Yang Guang, who had always been unparalleled in political skills, had also been messed up with the three prime ministers of Gao Ying, Li Delin and Su Wei who drove the three troop chariots of the Sui Dynasty.

However, when he regained most parts of Hebei and planned everywhere due to food shortages, and finally put his ideas on the aristocratic family, he suddenly realized that what he knew before was the cause of the Jiangnan rebellion, which was all superficial. The real reason was that Yang Jian was an old fox, and Jiangnan's rebellion was directed by him.

Just like now, sitting in the hall, Chen Kefu listened quietly to the surveillance report of the investigation department for the aristocratic families, landlords and powerful temples in Hebei. Hearing Li Wangsheng's unfeeling tone tell him that if he did not appease the aristocratic families, these aristocratic families, and even the former bureaucrats, might not have any surprise when Chen Kefu was in trouble in the near future.

On the contrary, when he heard that the aristocratic families finally couldn't hold back and began to conspire and conspire, he smiled.

"Your Highness, the Investigation Department has already grasped the list of most of the aristocratic families, powerful people, and former officials who are conspiring to join forces. In addition, there are many large temples in Hebei that are also a little unrest. We have sent a large number of people to monitor them. I ask the ** Department to send people to arrest them, otherwise, if you wait, I am afraid that the chaos will be uncontrollable."

The Investigation Department has a great internal supervision power, and everyone is within their supervision scope, from princes and nobles to peddlers and barracks. However, accordingly, they only have the power to monitor and inspect, but do not have the power to arrest or interrogate. However, they have no right to arrest anyone if they have obtained any evidence, and they must report it. Finally, the ** Department will arrest and interrogate them.

Chen Kefu shook his head and said calmly, "If there is not enough manpower, I can give you a warrant, and let the trainees from the military police department and the Pojun Martial Arts Hall draw people to you to increase supervision power. But without my warrant, no one is allowed to act without authorization and alarm the snake."

Li Wangsheng had some confusion in his eyes, but he still nodded without hesitation: "It's up to obey the order!"

"Okay, you can report the supervision situation to me at any time, go."

"I'm leaving!"

After Li Wangsheng left, the smile on the corner of Chen Kefu's mouth had turned into a cruel sneer.

This time, buying grain from the powerful families is just an opportunity. In fact, since Chen Kefu entered Hebei, he has been thinking about these powerful families. Liaodong was composed of immigrants and some indigenous people after pacifying Goguryeo. This vast place that only lasted a few years, and there was no powerful family. Therefore, the Liaodong Army was very easy to manage and rule Liaodong at the time, but after entering Hebei, he found that although Hebei surrendered to him, he also mobilized any new official positions in various places. However, those powerful families were very powerful, with a faint feeling of a local emperor.

They annexed land, owned a large number of farmlands, and even concealed a large number of tenants. They not only reduced the taxes of the court, but also concealed the population. They also had money, food, and people, as well as weapons and equipment, which was completely a hidden danger of unrest.

Of course, Chen Kefu did not allow this group of people to exist, but it would not work if he was forced. After thinking about it, Chen Kefu simply used this time to borrow food and was ready to force these people to rebel directly. Then he would force them to rebel first, and then suppress them severely. After the majority of the powerful families were eliminated, he would come to appease them. In this way, the powerful families could be eliminated and the localities could be returned to the court.

And he could not only use the rebellion to quell the rebellion and become famous, but also take back all the slaves of the manors and lands of these powerful families. In the end, no one in the local people would sympathize with those powerful families and stand on their side. Just like a monarch of Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he obviously hated his younger brother to the core, but he always responded to his requests. In the end, he could not fill his younger brother's support, which led him to a rebellion. Then the king was justified and killed his younger brother with all his kindness. He also won praise from all over the world, and everyone said that he was benevolent and righteous.

If you want to take it first, you must give it first.

This is Chen Kefu's plan, which will lead the snake out of the hole, and then use another thunderous move. In the end, throwing two sweet dates will eliminate the powerful family, without losing the people's hearts, and killing the numbers in one fell swoop.
