Prince of Chaos

Chapter 573 Talking about clan issues
The issue of the clan is actually not unique to the Ming Dynasty.

In the feudal Shang and Zhou dynasties earlier, the issue of the clan had become a thorny issue that plagued the central dynasty.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, in order to be able to become the co-lord of the world, after defeating Emperor Xin, the last emperor of the Yin and Shang Dynasties in the Battle of Muye, the emperor of Zhou began to grant 71 kingdoms to the princes of the world!
Among them, 53 countries are the children of their own clansmen, uncles, and uncles. When these enfeoffed princes first appeared, they did indeed play the role of shielding the capital and defending the emperor.

However, with the passage of time and the estrangement of kinship and estrangement, the vassal states that were once blood relatives began to become the biggest threat to the Zhou royal family.

After Zhou Liwang and his favorite concubine Baosi played with the princes, the Western Zhou Dynasty perished.

Since then, the princes of the world who have become stronger do not pay attention to the weak Emperor Zhou.

It shows how unreliable these former blood-related clans have become after the baptism of time.

Later, Qin ruled the world.

The first emperor restrained the clan, abolished enfeoffments, and established prefectures and counties.But it led to the strong support of Qin Wuzong's relatives, so that the second generation died!

It was time for Henkel to die.

Liu Bang learned the lesson of the first emperor. He implemented the policy of enfeoffment and prefectures in parallel, and punished the white horse to make an alliance.
However, this is still not perfect.

By the time of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the vassal states that had been inherited for only a few decades had already disobeyed the central government and wanted to fight against the imperial court.And the Seven Kings' Rebellion broke out with such momentum that it almost overturned the country!

Although the turmoil was quelled later, the rulers in the central government were wary of these vassals and kings, and they wanted to cancel those vassal states that could threaten the central government.

Later, during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, under the suggestion of Zhu Fuyan, Emperor Wu of the Han implemented the Tweet Order.

This edict has greatly divided the strength of the vassal states and guaranteed the absolute authority of the central court!

However, it is precisely because of this that after the Han Xuan, the powerful imperial matriarchal family reappeared in the weak and weak late Western Han Dynasty, which took advantage of Wang Mang, a perverse moralist, and made the Han family The world changed hands.

Although, later there was Guangwu ZTE.

However, the price is indeed huge.

Emperor Guangwu's throne could not be secured without the support of the aristocratic family.

Therefore, since then, aristocratic families have begun to step onto the stage of history, making the already chaotic political system even more chaotic.

When it came to the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, I don't know what Cao Cao's good son Cao Pi was thinking. Guarding his family is like guarding against thieves. Although he also sealed the country and the king, monitoring the clan is like treating people in prison. The prisoner is the same, but it is not good for the scholar class, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system that can make the gentry prosperous and prosperous has been implemented!

This in turn led to Wei Guo's powerful ministers becoming bigger, the clan's relatives were weak, and what happened in the end was Sima Zhao's heart, which everyone knows.

Unfortunately, it is still impossible to reverse the decline of Cao Wei.

In the end, the Sima family replaced Wei as Jin and ruled the world!
As a result, the Sima family learned the lesson of the weakness of the Cao Wei clan, which was a bit too much.

As a result, it led to the famous Eight Kings Rebellion, and dragged the Chinese civilization to the brink of almost extinction!

After 400 years of strife and chaos, the various dynasties and countries in the Northern and Southern Dynasties have been jumping back and forth on the issue of clansmen, resulting in rebellion by clansmen at one time and usurpation of the throne by powerful officials at one time, and in the end it was a chicken feather.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the unified dynasties of the Sui and Tang Dynasties seemed to have learned some lessons from the previous dynasties, and began to restrain the clan and implement the centralized power of the group system.

It seemed to be fine, but in the end something went wrong.

And this problem does not lie with the clan, nor does it lie with the powerful officials.

Instead, it came from the emperor's wife.

A generation of heroine Wu Zetian was born out of nowhere, directly killing Li Tang's clan crazy.

Now Li Tang's political situation, which was originally good, is completely messed up.

Although he also experienced several twists and turns later, the Wu family returned the world to the Li family.

However, the problem appeared again.

This time it appeared on the godson. An Lushan and Shi Siming unexpectedly overthrew Li Tang Shengshi to the ground at once, which led to the nine relocations of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the separatism of the feudal towns, and the world fell into boundless war again.

And the main reason for these is that the clan was unable to provide power at the critical moment, which led to the expansion of the feudal town and the chaos of the world.

It was Song Dynasty again, and Song Dynasty learned all the lessons of the previous dynasty.

Not only restrained the clan in Beijing, implemented the central group system, but also confiscated the military power of the generals in the border towns.

However, it was also the excessive centralization of power that abolished martial arts.

As a result, the Song Dynasty has always been passively beaten. Although some people also said that the Song Dynasty's victory rate in foreign wars was so good, so what?

In the end, it's not a mess of losing!
However, it is undeniable that the clan system in Song Dynasty has certain reference value.

At least in the Song Dynasty, there was no overflow of clansmen, no rebellion, and no powerful ministers were born.

It can be said that the clan system in the Song Dynasty had a certain advanced reference.

However, the military and political system in the Song Dynasty was difficult to explain in a word, and it was a bit too guarded.

As for the clan of the Yuan Dynasty, it is a mess.

Although the clansmen in the Yuan Dynasty were not sealed, but because they were from the grassland tribes, their clansman power was too heavy, and they fought for the emperor's throne all day long in Dadu. The century-old Yuan Dynasty actually changed 11 emperors.

It can be seen that the issue of lineage is not only the weakness of the Han Dynasty, but also the weakness of the Grassland Dynasty.

After arriving in Ming Dynasty, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang really cared about his sons, maybe he really learned the lesson of Qian Yuan.

Therefore, Comrade Zhu opened the historical path and enshrined the various princes as kings, especially the kings of Sai in the north, all of whom were powerful vassals with strong troops and horses.

When Lao Zhu was alive, his father was kind and his son was filial.

After Lao Zhu left, the grandson became the emperor and began to worry about these uncles who held heavy soldiers.

Therefore, under the suggestion of Fang Xiaoru Huang Zicheng, the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, they began to cut down the feudal clan and restore the restoration.

Prepare to rule the world with martial arts and create a rule of three generations that only existed in books.

In the end, because of his thin skin and low-sightedness, he overturned the car.

Letting Zhu Changluo's good ancestor, Emperor Yongle, enter Nanjing City and take over his nephew, oh no, it was his good father's unfinished business.

Emperor Yongle also learned the lesson of Jianwen Xiaocuti. Although he wanted to centralize power, he did not cut down the vassal.

He moved his brothers and nephews to the territory, took away the military power, and raised them like pigs.

Originally, there had only been one or two generations of emperors, and several clan and vassal kings were killed by good nephews, so the court could afford it at first.

However, the further you go to the back, the more you will be born.

Gradually, the court couldn't hold on anymore.

Therefore, the current situation has been created, and the power of the whole country can hardly support these lazy and privileged clansmen.

In this regard, Zhu Changluo, who knows the trajectory of historical development, naturally cannot sit idly by.

He definitely wanted to make an effective reform of the clan issue, otherwise, in the long run, no matter how good Zhu Changluo did in other aspects, it would not help in the end.

The huge clan group is still hanging on the rear of Daming's car. If Da Ming wants to move on, he has to find a way to digest these clan problems.
