When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 129: Ambition will only grow higher and higher.

The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang's face was equally ugly, and his descendants were actually a bunch of little emperors.

In addition, Liu Ying and herself both have short life spans. What is the reason?

If it was man-made, then a cleansing of the court would be necessary. If it was God's will, it would be even more terrifying.

Therefore, Zhang Liang and Xiao He, who also thought of this, turned green.

[The relationship between relatives in the Han Dynasty ran through the entire dynasty. It was not a certain emperor's excessive love for the queen or excessive protection of his wife's family, but a kind of rules and regulations that were imperceptibly introduced during the Han Dynasty. 】

[Foreign relatives are not the source of troubles in the world, nor are they the reason for the frequent appearance of little emperors. They are another means for the emperor to govern the world from beginning to end, and are a weapon for the emperor to stabilize the government. 】

[Emperors most of the time trust their relatives far more than other courtiers and even princes and kings with the same surname. During the normal period of the country's system, the relatives did not betray the trust of the emperor. 】

[Even if you sometimes don’t have extraordinary talents and cannot expand territory for the emperor and vigorously develop government affairs, you can still greatly help the emperor stabilize his rule and fight against other interest groups. 】

Han Dynasty, the first year before Emperor Wen.

Liu Heng nodded and agreed very much with the words in the miracle. His relatives were indeed very worthy of the emperor's trust. After all, it goes without saying that the ministers had most of their interests that were not consistent with the emperor's, and it was easy for them to infringe on the imperial power for their own selfish desires.

This is especially true for princes and kings with the same surname. Although the emperor has already divided some power, his ambition will only become stronger and stronger and will be difficult to eliminate.

If one becomes powerful, the idea of ​​changing the throne or changing dynasties will naturally arise, so these are not as useful as relatives.

Especially when the Queen Mother only had one son, her relatives would use all the strength of the family to ensure that the Liu family would still be the emperor. Wasn't this the choice Emperor Gao made back then?
He chose Lu Pheasant, and finally Lu Pheasant led the Lu family to maintain the transition of the Han family until Liu Heng grew up.

Of course, if the entire system of the Han Dynasty completely collapsed, the relatives might not be reliable.

Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou.

Liu Che also deeply agreed with this statement. You must know that during the period when the country's court system was stable, he thoroughly enjoyed the benefits brought by the power of his relatives. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were the best representatives.

Of course, relatives also have troubles, such as the Dou family back then, but even if they are unpleasant, it is not very difficult to deal with them, and they have all passed.

Now he is enjoying the dividends brought by his relatives. His generals and champions have helped him win results in the Huns' campaigns many times, even though he has a good vision and employs people in an eclectic way.

But if he didn't have the attention and promotion of his relatives, he would have spent more time promoting and appointing the two of them. As time went by, countless manpower and material resources were wasted in the war, and the final outcome was unpredictable. .

Eastern Han Dynasty, Jianwu 17 years.

Compared to Liu Che's joy, Liu Xiu's face was extremely ugly. Although his wife was a good person, the phrase "based on the normal operation of the national system" in the miracle seemed to be used to target the emergence of a series of little emperors in the future.

How ridiculous! ——
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a completely different attitude from the Han emperor. He was deeply wary of his relatives. He did not think that his relatives were a weapon for the emperor.

But the situation of the Han Dynasty was indeed before his eyes. He could only say: "The situation of the Han Dynasty is different from that of the Ming Dynasty. It cannot be generalized. You must choose carefully."

When the help of relatives is really needed, it does play a big role, but then the role of relatives will gradually decrease, and the negative impact will continue to expand. [The most famous relatives of the Han Dynasty include the Lu family, the Wei family, the Huo family, the Xu family, etc., and apart from the Lu family in the founding generation, only those who truly held power and made considerable contributions to helping the emperor stabilize the court were Wei's, Huo's, and Dou's. 】

[The Wei family is the wife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing made great achievements in the war against the Xiongnu. They were also close to the emperor and were trusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. 】

[The only fly in the ointment is that neither of them lived very long. Huo Qubing died of illness when he was only 24 years old, and Wei Qing died of illness when he was more than [-] years old. 】

[The Huo family is the maternal grandfather of Empress Zhao of the Han Dynasty and the wife of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Among them, the representative figure is Huo Guang, who eventually became the minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was also the half-brother of Huo Qubing. 】

[This man was loyal and upholding the government for more than [-] years. He always followed Emperor Wu's system, recuperated, restored the national power of the Han Dynasty, made a great contribution to the Zhaoxuan Zhongxing situation, and was finally buried with Emperor Wu. 】

[The Dou family is different from the two. She is the wife and ancestor of Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Dou family defeated the Northern Huns in Jinwei Mountain. 】

[The Northern Huns were completely annihilated, and the remaining Huns were beaten until they were forced to move westward. The Huns who moved westward fled to Europe, adding a boost to the fall of the Roman Empire. 】

Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou.

Although I had already guessed that the story about Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty would contain a lot of bad news about the Han Dynasty, and I had made psychological preparations early on, but on the other hand, if I had known about it earlier, I would have been able to prepare earlier.

Many emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty came here for this purpose. After all, knowing good news is of no use. Knowing bad news can make early plans.

Only when you are fully prepared can you have the opportunity and possibility to change in the future.

But even so, Liu Che was still stunned by the bad news.

Huo Qubing died of illness at the age of 24. He was 24 years old.

He was in his prime, and he had just made great achievements, but he died of illness before he had time to shine.

It is now the fourth year of Yuanshou's reign, and it is actually less than two years since Huo Qubing's medical history!

There is also Wei Qing, although he is much better than Huo Qubing, but he is still in the range of early death at the age of [-].

Liu Che didn't think that his general should only live so long because of his great military achievements.

According to his guess, he should at least stay with him for a while.

Moreover, the two of them passed away one after another, with a gap of only more than ten years. Will he lose two pillars in a row?
Liu Che was the emperor after all. After the moment of collapse, he regained his sanity and started thinking rationally.

No matter what the reason is, is it too late for him to let the two of them recuperate and recuperate before encouraging the world to find famous doctors and study medical skills?
Moreover, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing both had multiple jobs and died young. Have their successors been trained?

What if after the two of them leave, the Han Dynasty has no one who can replace them, or even someone who can stabilize the situation, then how should the Han Dynasty treat the Xiongnu?
