The nobles of the six kingdoms at the end of the Qin Dynasty were just like the powerful families of the Han Dynasty today, and they had the power to overthrow a dynasty.

Once a dynasty weakened, it was likely to be easily overthrown, thus changing dynasties.

As the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, who was born as a commoner, did have the ability, skills and luck to eliminate the old nobles of the six kingdoms one by one.

This was also due to the struggle for supremacy among the heroes at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the struggle between Chu and Han. Because the decades-long wars before and after exhausted the trump cards and strength of the old nobles of the six kingdoms, Liu Bang became the final winner.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the first few emperors of the Western Han Dynasty were all powerful and skillful. In order to suppress the annexation of the powerful, each emperor had to take a measure.

That is, every other generation, the powerful and wealthy families in the world were moved to Guanzhong, and they were allowed to live around the tombs of the former emperors of the Han Dynasty, so as to ensure that the local counties would not form such a complex and powerful group, and prevent the powerful and wealthy families from becoming too powerful.

However, this measure was only continued for a few generations of emperors. After Emperor Zhao of Han and Emperor Yuan of Han, it was gradually abolished.

This led to the chaos and weakness of the late Western Han Dynasty, and even the usurpation of the Han Dynasty by Wang Mang.

And Wang Mang was one of the top aristocratic families in the world at that time...

Although Emperor Guangwu of Han later rebuilt the Han Dynasty, the measure of moving the powerful and wealthy families in the world to Guanzhong had been stopped for several generations, as the saying goes.

Once something begins to relax, it cannot be easily taken back...

So, even a man as talented and strategic as Emperor Guangwu of Han could not make this happen again.

That is to say, since the late Western Han Dynasty, for a full 300 years, the aristocratic families and powerful people in the world have never been suppressed in the slightest.

So over the past 300 years, due to the annexation of aristocratic families and powerful people, the court could not collect taxes and did not have enough money and food to support the army and the people.

And most of the people in the states and counties of the world were also oppressed by the aristocratic families and powerful people, forming a distinct aristocratic manor economy, and the number of self-cultivating farmers in the Han Dynasty decreased significantly.

As a result, the people were living in poverty, and eventually gave birth to the Yellow Turban Rebellion. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In order to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the court lacked troops and had to delegate power to allow the local states and counties to recruit soldiers on their own.

In this way, a new vicious cycle was formed, and the Han Dynasty was completely hopeless.

It is precisely because of this historical cycle that Cao Ang has to do his best to solve the hidden dangers left over from the late Western Han Dynasty.

In this way, at least 300 years of peace can be opened for future generations. If future generations are more motivated, they can strictly guard against the formation of new aristocratic families on the basis of Cao Ang's foundation.

Then from CaoIt is not impossible for the new era to usher in five or six hundred years of peace (Zhao gets Zhao).

This is not only the need of the new dynasty, but also the need of history and the people of the world.

Otherwise, in the original history, the power of the Han Dynasty’s aristocratic families was not weakened, but was strengthened by the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

As a result, Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period and the Jin Dynasty that replaced Cao Wei not only failed to solve this problem, but also allowed the aristocratic families to completely establish their dominant position...
