The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 53 Members of the Inner Court
Now the most attention of court officials should be the Inner Court. There are only 22 people in the Inner Court now, and it may increase to [-] people in the near future.

They may not have much power, but they are responsible for providing advice to the emperor, and even with Liu Hong's acquiescence, they currently still have some decision-making power.

Even some things are gradually handed over to the inner court, especially after the children of the aristocratic family enter the inner court, the power of the inner court will definitely increase.

But now the inner court is still more biased towards civilians. Every person here is an unparalleled political genius. There are several political talents of a hundred, and the others must be basically above 95.

Liu Hong is very satisfied with this configuration, but because the positions in the court are almost divided now, and he has no way to relocate them again, so he can only let them stay in the inner courtyard, wait for their qualifications, and wait for them. The opportunity went up.

Liu Hong looked at the seventeen people present, thinking quietly about the character and achievements of each of them.

The first thing that comes to mind is Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a cowherd boy, and finally established a unified Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was the most upright country.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a violent personality, but he was scheming and ruthless. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he massacred heroes on a large scale.Especially after Empress Ma died, there was no one who could restrain him.

For the four major cases of Hongwu, there are basically not many people on duty in the court, and they may be able to share adversity, but they must not share wealth.Liu Hong thought to himself.

A person who is very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang is Shi Le. Both of them rebelled from relatively difficult times. One was a cowherd boy and the other was a slave. The two people had similar origins.

Looking back on Shi Le's life, from having nothing to gathering a dozen partners, to pulling out a small team of hundreds of people, until finally evolving into a mighty army of 10,000+, becoming almost the strongest in the north at the same time The great separatist forces have indeed shed blood and tears on the road of struggle.

It's just that Shi Le's achievements are not as great as Zhu Yuanzhang's. Zhu Yuanzhang unified the country, but Shi Le was just a warlord, but the people Shi Le faced at that time were indeed not comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang.It is really impossible to judge whether the two are good or bad.

After thinking of these two people, Liu Hong thought of the three generations of Guo Wei, Chai Rong, and Zhao Kuangyin.
It is said that they are three generations because they have three relationships with each other. Guo Wei is Chai Rong's uncle, and Zhao Kuangyin is Chai Rong's striker.

Someone once commented that Chai Rong was the No.1 monarch of the Five Dynasties. This is not nonsense. Chai Rong has a famous three-ten-year plan. He is willing to use ten years to open up the world, ten years to support the people, and ten years to bring peace.

But God failed to fulfill his wishes, God only gave him six years, but his achievements in these six years are definitely comparable to one of the outstanding emperors in history.

There is not one of the most perfect emperors in Chinese history. Perhaps it is a bit of an exaggeration to say this, but Chai Rong is no less than any emperor in history, whether it is personal morality or the ability to govern the country and the government.

The only shortcoming is that he died young and only became emperor for five years!If he lived a few more years, not only would it be possible to achieve national reunification earlier, but it would also be very possible to take back the Sixteen States of Youyun, and Chinese history would be nothing like the Song Dynasty.

By the way: Most of the various systems and new heights of classical civilization that we have praised so far in the Song Dynasty were derived from him!

Compared with Guo Wei, Guo Wei may have a lot less demeanor. He was the founding king of the Hou Zhou Dynasty. The Hou Zhou Dynasty was not a unified dynasty, but it was a dynasty that inherited the past and ushered in the future.The establishment of the Later Zhou Dynasty accelerated the pace of China's reunification in troubled times, and all of this relied on Guo Wei's contribution.But his regret is that his life was too short.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, the founding monarch, he was a rare person who shared wealth and honor with his subordinates. Although he released his military power with a glass of wine, compared with the Ming and Han dynasties, he was also considered to be kindhearted.

Xiao Daocheng may not be well-known, and even if special people study this history, many people may not even know who he is, the founding emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

They are descendants of Xiao He, both civil and military. It is said that in front of the old house of Xiao Daocheng when he was a child, there was a big mulberry tree, which was shaped like the canopy of the emperor when he was on tour.

Xiao Daocheng likes to play with his friends under the tree. His cousin Xiao Jingzong joked with him: "This tree is grown for you." It means that you will be the emperor in the future. Although this is a bit far-fetched, But then it became a fact.

Yang Jian, Li Yuan, these two are relatives, both of them started their business by relying on the Guanlong Group, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties are almost in the same line, so there is nothing to say about this.

But neither of them is as famous as his son. Yang Guang and Li Shimin are basically two typical examples.

Because Li Shimin is an emperor through the ages, and Yang Guang is the king of the country, but Yang Guang is not useless.This may be off topic, so I won't say much here.

Gao Huan has a relatively high evaluation. For example: Gao Huan is a deep man, full of tact, and has great military and political talents.Make good use of people, regardless of their status, and only use their talents.The army is run with strict discipline, and the officers and soldiers are happy to die in service.This was shown from the time he made suggestions for Erzhu Rong to later defeating the powerful Erzhu family.

In addition, Gao Huan asked his son Gao Cheng before his death, pointing out that Hou Jing must rebel, but as long as he uses Murong Shaozong as his commander, he can win peace.The result was not what Gao Huan expected.Gao Cheng and Gao Yang's future team basically did not have his organizational system, which laid a solid foundation for the founding of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

That's what has been said about him throughout history.

After thinking about these people, Liu Hong looked at the people from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States who came out recently.

King Zhuang of Chu, Duke Huan of Qi, and Duke Wen of Jin may be one of the top ten kings in history. They led the country to its peak and became the leading power at that time.

After his death, the immediate country began to decline, and what the three of them had in common was the reuse of talents.Talent is always the greatest wealth.

This is something that no country can pass. During the Warring States Period, the number of talents in Wei State is obvious to all.But in the end, they couldn't keep the people, and they all ran to Qin State. Qin State unified the six countries, and the people of Wei State made great efforts.

King Qin Zhaoxiang, King Zhao Wuling, and King Yanzhao came to the Warring States period. During this period, the three made the country strong through their own methods.It's a pity that there were no fatuous kings in the six generations of Qin.

King Qin Zhaoxiang was the longest reigning monarch in the Warring States Period, connecting the past with the next.It laid the foundation for Qin Shihuang to unify the six countries.

Liu Hong seemed to suddenly understand something. Maybe they were peerless emperors in their previous life, but in this life they just served under him.If they use it well, they can also use it for themselves.
