Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1228
Mrs. Cui Ling was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, and the Cui family of Qinghe was a famous family in the world long ago.Purely from this point of view, Shen Zhezi's background as a local tyrant in Wu Township, taking the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe as his concubine is indeed somewhat offensive to the concept of family marriage.

But in fact, living in such a world, regardless of the common people, it is inevitable to bow to reality.At least according to the current Jiangdong secular concept, the pillars of General Shen's country, no matter what kind of noble daughter, is more than enough to match.

Even in the early years when the Jiangdong clan was in power, the Qinghe Cui clan had a good reputation during the Sino-Korean period, but because they themselves were alienated from the Yue government, there were not many outstanding talents to stand up for the current situation after the south crossing, and they were not considered the first-class clan. .And the Shen family, as the noble clan of Wu Township natives, was in the current situation of General Shen's dancing and dancing. In terms of power, it was far from comparable to the Qinghe Cui family who was silent and unknown in Jiangdong's current situation.

In fact, Shen Zhezi accepted Mrs. Cui Ling as a concubine, and he did not consider his family status.Right now, Cunnian is the heir to his father-in-law Cui Hui, and he also has no intention of benefiting from it.

When it comes to the powerful and noble families in later generations, they often praise the so-called five surnames and seven wangs.But the so-called five surnames really grew up mainly in the Northern Wei Dynasty.The so-called clan politics in Jiangdong is more of an abnormal ruling structure formed based on special historical encounters after the Nandu, and it cannot be regarded as a universal standard of power.

In fact, since the Shen family rose up in Jiangdong, especially the coup in Jiangdong a few years ago, the Langya Wang family suffered a devastating blow under the counterattack of the Shen family, and Jiangdong's family politics came to an abrupt end.Although the Shen clan replaced the Langya Wang clan as the ruling sect, the source of Shen Zhezi's power was completely different from the Langya Wang clan in the early years.

The most fundamental point is that in the early years, the king and the horse shared the world, and the source of power for the Wang family was to share the imperial power with the Jiangdong Sima family.But now that Shen Zhezi is in charge of Xingtai, the root cause lies in his grasp of Jiangdong's native land and a series of management of Jiangbei after crossing the river.

Even if people at the time satirized Shen Zhezi, they often compared him to Wei Wu Cao Cao rather than Wang Dun, who was arbitrarily powerful. Respect the king and fight against the barbarians.In other words, today's imperial authority comes from the fact that the Shen family is still willing to serve the Jiangdong imperial family, and the strength and weakness of each other have undergone fundamental changes.

The strength of the Shen family lies in the fact that it already has the strength to crack the soil and build Jiangdong, which is a strength that even the Langya Wang family could not match in the early years.

As for Jiangbei's so-called five surnames and seven wangs, at the moment, they are actually just aristocratic families with a little reputation, and they are not even considered leaders in the countryside when it comes to rural resources and status.

For example, the Hongnong Yang family, which was severely suppressed by Shen Zhezi and almost exterminated, certainly made Xingtai bear a cruel reputation for a while, but other than that, the actual bad influence was not great.Especially after Xingtai's style of work was equally strong, the journey to the west was smooth and Chang'an was recovered smoothly, and there were not many local villagers who dared to rise up and rebel against Xingtai, crying for revenge for the Hongnong Yang family.

The reason why Qiwang, the five surnames in the north, was able to become stronger day by day, and even rejuvenated in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, was not because they were unparalleled in themselves.If you look back carefully, it actually lies in the fact that the north has always been ruled by the Hu people in the original history, especially when the Northern Wei Dynasty carried out relatively profound Sinicization reforms.

These Hu people want to integrate into the ruling lineage of the Han people, and the fastest way is to cooperate with those local famous families.Moreover, the Tuoba family in the Northern Wei Dynasty was a relatively latecomer among the Five Hus, and their political literacy was not even as good as Tuge, Jiehu, and even Dihu in the early period of the Five Hus. In this regard, it relies on the elite group of the Han nationality.

Especially in the later period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, whether it was the Northern Qi Gao family's attachment to the Bohai Gao family, or the relative formation of the Guanlong Group, the Sui and Tang emperors' attachment to their own clans actually increased the social influence of the so-called five surnames and seven wangs.

However, when the so-called aristocratic families were increasingly promoted in the Northern Dynasties, the social status of the aristocratic families in the Southern Dynasties actually declined all the way, and was even reduced to the level of arbitrary killing.

The change of the status of the aristocratic clans between the north and the south is actually a process of the transfer of the legal system between the north and the south. The so-called aristocratic families at this historical stage represent the recognition of the legality of the political power by the Han ethnic elite.With the continuous integration of the Northern Dynasties, more and more aristocratic families joined the ruling structure, and the so-called legitimacy of the legal system was naturally established.

But for Shen Zhezi, he did not need the centuries-long integration process of the Northern Dynasties in the original history.Today, he himself represents the undisputed legal system of Jin Zuo, and there is no need for these local aristocratic families to join their own ruling groups to establish their legal system legitimacy.

It can be said that since the crushing and suppression of the Jiangdong coup represented by the Langya Wang family, the so-called aristocratic constraints have been broken by Shen Zhezi. The family supports him.Therefore, he can rely on his own strength and crush Hongnong Yang's obstruction of his Western Expedition without any pressure.

As for the five surnames and Qiwang who are famous all over the world in later generations, there are several families under the rule of Xingtai, such as the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Wang family in Taiyuan.They only gained a foothold as obedient citizens of Jin Zuo and good ministers of Xingtai, and the advantages and privileges brought to them by family status were almost nonexistent.

And in the future, the so-called Five Surnames and Seven Hopes will not cause any trouble to Shen Zhezi.The troubles these aristocratic clans can cause to Shen Zhezi are not even comparable to the ordinary powerful Haozong or the four-sided Huzhong tribe.

The reason for this is that Shen Zhezi praised Jin Zuo's great righteousness. Their abilities and capital were not worth mentioning in front of Shen Zhezi, and they could be used or not.Therefore, the so-called Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, no matter at present or in the future when Shen Zhezi is in power, is doomed to be impossible to obtain the detached social status and strong social appeal as in the original history.

Shen Zhezi brought up this topic with Mrs. A Ling tonight, and it was really just out of human considerations. He felt that it was indeed a pity in the world that his father-in-law died.Since he has this ability right now, he might as well be careful.

As for taking advantage of the Qinghe Cui clan's reputation to secure Beidi, this would be too much to think highly of the current Qinghe Cui clan and too underestimate the power under the Xingtai clan.

In fact, including the Cui family of Qinghe, many famous families in Hebei are living extremely miserable lives under Jie Zhao Shihu's tyrannical rule.They could neither gain Shihu's trust and reliance, nor did they have sufficient self-protection ability and means. Their situation in Jieji could be described as miserable, even worse than that of ordinary poor families.

In other words, today's Shihu is relying on hegemony and tyranny to rectify Hebei, and has no idea of ​​​​integrating into the Han nationality and maintaining long-term stability. These old clans under his rule are not qualified even if they are willing to lick the dog.

Lady A Ling was a little sad when she heard what the Lord said, but she smiled again after a while: "The concubine was young and ignorant when she came to the south, and she didn't know much about family and friendship. Fortunately, she didn't die because of the Lord's rescue. In time, if Grandpa knows that the Lord is so affectionate and considerate, he will definitely feel a lot of gratitude. But he really doesn't dare to abolish the public for personal reasons. It would be best if he could get the whole relationship. Dare to ask..."

In fact, Mrs. Ah Ling is not very enthusiastic about tracing the family relationship, but it is always a pity to think that Grandpa has no heirs, especially the master is still sympathetic to this point. No matter whether this matter is successful or not, she is even more moved When I was talking about this, there were already tears in the corners of my eyes, and I buried my head in the arms of the Lord, feeling that there would be no more regrets in this life.

Shen Zhezi seldom makes empty promises, and since he talked about this matter, he must have some confidence.

This time Wen Fangzhi was ordered to go northward to the Liao region. The main task was to restrain the Murong family and other Donghu tribes in Liaodong, so that they could further restrain Shi Zhao's troops in the northeast. In fact, they would not go deep into Hebei, especially Cui's hometown. where.

However, there are also members of the Cui clan in Liao, the most important of which are the remnants left by Liu Kun in his early years.Liu Kun's old tribe was originally concentrated in the sphere of influence of the Duan clan in western Liaoning. After the Duan clan was destroyed by Shi Zhao, it fell into the hands of Shi Hu again.

But it has to be said that Liu Kun's early years in the north still have a little legacy, especially among the exile groups of Jin people in western Liaoning, and still has a lot of appeal.

Although this part of the remnant is currently following Shi Zhao's command, it does not have the loyalty to live with Shi Zhao.As Shi Zhao has frequently used troops on the Liao border in recent years, Liu Kun's son Liu Qun and Cui and Lu's subordinates also stayed in Liaoxi, and a group of Jin people under his command followed, helping Shi Zhao to appease the territory of Liaoxi as a semi-independent force At the same time, it served as a help for the conquest of the Murong family and other Liaodong Hu tribes.

From this point, it can also be seen that Shihu is strong outside but capable in the middle. Although he is still brutal and strong, he is actually accepting and tolerating various forms of help.

Xingtai currently cannot directly implement administrative orders on various forces in the Liao border, but it can also have a slight influence through business exchanges.Earlier, Liu Qun had secretly sent envoys to the south to make contact. One of the missions of Wen Fangzhi's northward trip this time was to deepen ties with these remaining Jin forces in the Liao border.

Under such circumstances, Shen Zhezi made such a slightly personal request, and it is expected that Liu Qun would not obstruct it.If they are smart, they will even make efforts to facilitate this matter in order to deepen their communication with Xingtai.

However, the matter is still being calculated at the moment, and Shen Zhezi does not dare to be too sure. The reason why he brought it up tonight is not only to comfort Mrs. A Ling, but also to hope that Cui Hui can make a little psychological preparation.After all, this is for Cui Hui to visit and ask for an heir, so it's not good to keep silent.

For Shen Zhezi, all kinds of family affairs are also an adjustment outside of official business.With his current position, it is difficult to devote too much energy to this aspect. The most important thing to do recently is Guanzhong.

Not long after Jiang Xi and the others left Xingtai and headed west, the official victory team from Chang'an soon arrived in Luoyang.In addition to the group of heroes including those representatives of Guanzhong tyrants, Shen Zhezi was more interested in Puhong, the chieftain.

Although he also understands that the current situation is very different from the original history, and the possibility that Dihu can develop power is very small, but he is inevitably interested in Pu Hong, the founder of the former Qin regime.Now that he has the opportunity to meet him, he is quite looking forward to it.

　In the first half of the book, many book friends said that the power of the clan, especially the influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs has a long history until the end of the Tang Dynasty. This chapter is an explanation of this.The general trend of five surnames and seven hopes is especially inseparable from the gestation of the historical period of Northern Wei Sinicization, but this stage in the book is directly harmonious, so even if there are still aristocratic families in the future, without this period of gestation, it is basically It is difficult to reach the level of influence of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.This is one of the achievements of Jin Zuo who has always been advertised so far. There is no need for such a group of licking dogs to promote the integration of Sinicization and system construction.
