Let s talk about the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to what extent has the Han family declined?

After the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs and relatives have been fighting endlessly. The power of local tyrants continues to grow. Emperor Ling's early years, the eunuchs and relatives fought and the situation was out of control, the Yellow Turban Incident, the wealthy families took the opportunity to take full control of the military and political power, the local separatist forces were formed, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the situation to enter Beijing to abolish the establishment, and the various candidates raised troops to serve the king, the separatist forces were officially recognized, and the authority was lost.

In fact, at this time, there was nothing to do with the Han family, and Emperor Han Xian was a mascot.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, his son Emperor Shaodi of Han ascended the throne, and at this time it was the uncle of Emperor Shaodi of Han Dynasty, the general He Jin, who took power of my court. In order to kill the eunuchs, He Jin actually invited Dong Zhuo, the warlord of Xiliang, to lead an army into Beijing, but before Dong Zhuo arrived, He Jin was killed by the eunuchs first. After He Jin's death, Yuan Shao and others killed the eunuchs in the court in the name of He Jin's revenge, and at this time, Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty lost the protection of his relatives and eunuchs, and was easily abolished by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo did the abolition of the establishment and tore off the last fig leaf. Although the local princes are forming, they still have to respect the **** and the emperor. What Dong Zhuo did made everyone in the world see that the emperor had become an ornament, and whoever had the strength had the final say.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's return to Emperor Xian, he might have starved to death on the wandering road. ‍‍

The Han family's loss of control over the prefectures began during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were in power, and many local governors and county governors were inextricably linked with the eunuchs. These governors of prefectures and counties, who were in power by bribing eunuchs, violated the law and discipline in their local areas and exploited the people, resulting in frequent rebellions among the local people.

After Dong Zhuo abolished Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, he supported the emperor Liu Xie as the emperor, that is, Emperor Han Xian, Emperor Han Xian was a puppet emperor from the beginning of his accession to the throne, he later fell into the hands of Cao Cao, Emperor Han Xian was a puppet emperor for decades, and then abdicated to Cao Cao's son Cao Pi. In other words, since the death of the general He Jin and the eunuchs, the Han family has lost control of the imperial court.

The state pastoral system directly recognized the legitimization of local forces, which made local forces continue to grow. Liu Yan and others deceived the Han Emperor and implemented the state pastoral system, which gave the state pastor exclusive the military and political power of the territory under his jurisdiction, and promoted his princehood. The people only know the state and the herdsmen, but not the Han Emperor.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion and other events led to the formation of local forces. The Yellow Turban Rebellion spread almost all over the country, and many heroic families rose to power with their military exploits in sweeping away the Yellow Turbans. They developed only to obey their own armed forces, and established themselves according to the state, becoming local princes with both military power and financial resources. ‍‍

The Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty are not the same, Guangwu started by the gate valve, so the Eastern Han Dynasty itself is strong and strong, and the scholar clan is rising at this time, and the local power is the largest, because the gate valve supports the local forces and obtains benefits, in fact, various huge interest groups have been formed in the locality. In addition, there is no strong center, and many successive generations of emperors have died early, and while acknowledging localization, they are actually unable to control the locality. Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others raised their arms and shouted, and they were able to gather thousands of people.

Not to mention the hereditary gate valves such as Sima, Yang, and Zhong. Cao Cao's nine-rank zhongzheng system was to break the system of inheritance of the eldest son as an official. Civilians still have little to come to life.

That's why Liu Bei has to hang the emperor's blood wherever he goes. In fact, he has been out for an unknown number of generations. It has nothing to do with the aristocracy a dime.

Why talent is key, because talent means the support of a family. Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty was ruled by the aristocratic group, and the boss was gone, so it was the boss of each hall who had the final say, and the younger brothers were also looking for a powerful boss. Emperor Xian ran away and couldn't even eat, and the second boss Cao Cao, as long as he didn't become the emperor, the other Liu Bei only dared to say that he was the king, and Sun Quan could only be called the prince.

Liu Xiu's rule seems to be 20 million households, and the population of the Three Kingdoms is only less than 12 million, ten rooms and nine empty, thousands of miles without rooster crowing, white bones exposed in the wild, Chen Qun said that the population of the Northern Wei Dynasty is not as large as a large county in the early years

There has always been a problem that plagued the imperial family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, the emperor could not give birth to a son, and the son could not grow up and live for a short time, so there was a dictatorship of relatives and eunuchs, but the imperial court was still relatively balanced, and relatives and eunuchs still relied on imperial power, and it could even be said that they were part of the imperial power. Relatives, eunuchs, and clans have also formed a stable pattern. Relatively speaking, it was quite peaceful After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to suppress the Yellow Turban, a large number of princes appeared The state pastoral system made the local state pastor become a prince After the death of Emperor Ling, in order to compete for the throne, relatives and eunuchs were eliminated In fact, the little emperor no longer had his own arms After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he controlled the emperor There were no relatives and eunuchs to check and balance The local state pastor has become a prince, and the emperor has become an ornament.

The emperor was young and had no authority, and the group of relatives and eunuchs tore each other apart, and the imperial power fell aside. The constant struggle between the two groups is weakening the strength of ****, and one is losing the other. The armed forces that can be controlled are gradually inferior to the localities. ‍‍

The two major forces that the emperor relied on, his relatives and eunuchs, his relatives He was annihilated by the eunuchs, and the eunuchs called Dong Zhuo, who was introduced by Yuan Shao, to eradicate them, and the emperor became the commander of the light pole, and it became a decoration completely.

Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes is enough to show that the emperor is still somewhat useful in everyone's minds, and he has real power, but no one dares to be the emperor.

Youzhou Liu Yu, Yanzhou Liu Dai, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Yan, Yangzhou Liu Yu... The strength of the emperor's relatives is not weak.

Show talent, don't know books, Kong Xiaolian, his father doesn't live, but Gao Diliang is like a chicken.

Why wasn't that the case when the dynasty changed?

People ask you how much it declined in the late Eastern Han Dynasty? Why are you all talking about history?
