The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 55 The Yang family.

Ever since the aristocratic family heard that the inner court had given five places, they began to solicit connections everywhere, hoping that their outstanding children could enter the inner court.Pave the way for the rest of life.

Everyone knows that this time the top of the court will choose five people to lead the court to handle government affairs, and the inner court will start to assist them. This is a rare opportunity. If you have this experience, it will be a huge shining point. In many cases There will be a lot less things.

Just like in later generations, you were in school and assisted in a national scientific research project. Although you were not the leader, you also proved your talent from the side. If two people have the same strength, you have this thing, and others will choose you .

What's more, at the same time, you have established relationships with many bigwigs in the court, and the inner court is full of real elites. You have become a small group, which will benefit you a lot in the future.

So this kind of good thing, no one will let it go, otherwise, they will regret it.

On the one hand, Liu Hong and the others took out five places and let the aristocratic families start to compete for the places. On the other hand, they asked Wei Zhongxian to give up a few officials from the eunuch faction to give up some benefits to the aristocratic family.

Liu Hong wanted to paralyze the family, making them think that the eunuch's vitality had been greatly weakened in the process, and his strength had shrunk greatly. It would be harmless whether they eliminated the eunuch or not.

In this case, controlling the eunuch's strength for Wei Zhongxian will definitely help, and it will save a lot of things.

Under this kind of deception, most of the aristocratic families have begun to ignore the eunuch faction, and began to snatch the five places in the imperial court and the five places in the inner court, which have been voluntarily given up by the eunuch faction.

All of a sudden, the eunuch group alliance was basically beaten to pieces, and they competed with each other for their own interests.No one will obey anyone, because the local aristocratic family cannot participate in the distribution of benefits due to time issues.

But in Luoyang, the aristocratic families competed for interests even more. Luoyang has become a big frying pan. Various things happen every day, contact each other, ask for support, and help each other.

Hongnong Yang's family, Yang Jian has just returned home after a day of work in the inner courtyard. Recently, there are more and more things in the inner courtyard.

After the five people above the court are elected and the inner court assists in handling government affairs, there is basically no more time.As soon as he walked into the house, he realized that the atmosphere today was not right.

"Master, master is waiting for you in the front lobby." A servant came to Yang Jian and said.

Since Yang Jian was transferred to the inner court by Liu Hong, his status in the Yang family has risen sharply, especially since the news that the inner court was used as an assistant to government affairs came out, Yang Jian's status has become higher and higher, and different rumors have begun to appear in the Yang family.

"Father, you are looking for me." Yang Jian walked into the lobby and saw Yang Ci, and there was also this young man kneeling in the lobby.

The kneeling man is Yang Yi, because he was born to Yang Ci's first wife, so he is the eldest son.It's just that Yang Ci also has two sons, one is Yang Jian and the other is Yang Biao, both of whom are concubines.

Yang Yi doesn't have much talent, usually he only knows how to eat, drink and play, and doesn't like to study. Yang Ci is very disappointed with him, because he is the eldest son, so Yang Ci can only keep pulling him back.

"Father, you are looking for me." Yang Jian saluted, he didn't care about the murderous look in Yang Yi's eyes, who would care about a waste.

"Go down. Get out." Yang Ci angrily reprimanded loudly.The eldest son, Yang Yi, is simply not able to support the wall with mud, and has no talent at all.If Yang Jian hadn't been mentioned earlier, even Yang Biao couldn't compare.

He came here directly and asked to replace Yang Jian's members of the inner court with himself, which made Yang Ci furious. If it were him, would he be able to get those inner court members fine?

So Yang Ci directly asked him to kneel down. He is Liu Hong's teacher. Although he doesn't teach Liu Hong so often, because of this relationship, he must have more contact with the inner court than other people.
These people, Yang Ci only has one feeling, each of these people is a pervert, and it is rare to find a single person. There are more than a dozen people here.And they are loyal enough to Liu Hong, and Liu Hong really knows how to employ people.

Giving them benefits, not allowing them to work for themselves for nothing, and giving them trust, this is something ordinary people can't do.

"Father, me." Yang Yi wanted to say something, but was taken aback by Yang Ci's eyes, and finally had no choice but to leave.

"Jian'er, come." Yang Ci attached great importance to this son, especially after he became a member of the inner court.

"Father," Yang Jian walked up after seeing Yang Ci's attitude towards him. Yang Ci is a strict father, and such a kind attitude is rare.

"What is the inner court dealing with today." Yang Ci asked, now that the inner court has a lot of power and is in the palace, so the matter was known earlier.

"Chen Gong wrote a letter saying that he hoped that the talents recommended by the aristocratic family would find a special place for a literary test. The best five people would be selected to enter the inner court. His Majesty has already agreed." Yang Jian said this matter.

Anyway, you will know sooner or later, and it is not an important matter, so there is no need to hide anything.

When Liu Hong saw this idea, he admired it. Everyone in the inner court knew that the five quotas were just to divide the family, but this method preserved the alliance between the family to the greatest extent.

It has to be said that this is the best way to deal with Liu Hong's idea of ​​dividing the family, and Liu Hong also asked them to check who came up with this idea.But because Liu Hong had no reason to refuse, he agreed.

This is also the general form of the imperial examination system in later generations.Liu Hong agreed to this, and also paved the way for the possible popularization of imperial examinations in the future.

"This is indeed a good idea," Yang Ci also understood the benefits of this method. "How did the eunuch deal with it?"

"Wei Zhongxian will be appointed as the permanent attendant." Liu Hong had given them the wind a few days ago, but it hadn't been finalized at the time. Wei Zhongxian had just been promoted to be Liu Hong's personal eunuch.

They didn't expect that Liu Hong would make him a regular attendant in a few days.Another eunuch faction was established. Although the strength is not as strong as before, this time the aristocratic families in the eunuch faction did not benefit much, and most of them still did not move. They only dealt with a few serious officials.

"Wei Zhongxian? Do you understand?" Yang Ci didn't understand this person.An eunuch, a little eunuch, there is no need for him to understand.

"It's a pity to be a eunuch for a very intelligent person." Liu Hong once gathered the people led by Wei Zhongxian and the inner court together, and the two sides got to know each other for a while.

During this process, Wei Zhongxian showed his talent. This person is definitely not comparable to someone like Cao Jie.

"Really?" Yang Ci knew this son too well. Yang Jian was a very confident person. He never thought that he would speak so highly of an eunuch. "So you are tired, go down first."

In the information just received, Yang Ci got some news. Talent will be used as the criterion for selection of aristocratic families. It doesn't look good, but it is indeed the most conservative method.There is also news that in this division of power, the aristocratic family was at a disadvantage, and the eunuchs were basically saved.
