Princes and vassal states have been part of Chinese civilization since ancient times.

When King Yu passed on the enlightenment and established the Xia Dynasty, China entered the "family world" system, and it adopted a tribal alliance and a complex chieftain system as the basis for rule.

At that time, the eleven tribes of the Xia people had a patriarchal relationship with the central royal family of the Xia Hou clan in blood, a feudal relationship in politics, and a tribute relationship in the economy, which constituted the core territory of the Xia Dynasty.

The same was true of the later Shang Dynasty, which used tribal alliances as a foundation to establish a unified and powerful state to rule the Central Plains.

Shang Tang, the founder of the Shang Dynasty, was originally a prince of the Xia Dynasty and the head of the Shang Department. He used his identity and status as a tribal leader to elect the Xia Dynasty, and naturally he would be extra wary of those members of the tribal alliance.

It's just that the latecomers are not as good as the predecessors, and during the Shang Dynasty, human beings gradually became fickle under the influence of civilization and social development, and they also became more likely to have an obvious desire to compete for interests.

There was a competition of interests, which would inevitably pose a threat to the royal power of the Shang Dynasty. Fearing that the royal power would also be overthrown by the tribal leaders, in the hundreds of years of the Shang Dynasty, in order to prevent those princes from making trouble and even infringing on the royal family, they chose to move the capital again and again.

Unfortunately, in the end, the Shang Dynasty was overthrown by the tribal leaders, and the father and son of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou in Xiqi were in fact only one of the princes in the tribal alliance of the Shang Dynasty.

Their father and son joined forces to smash and defeat the Shang Dynasty and establish the first cultural dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, which had influenced Chinese civilization for thousands of years.

But what happened? King Zhou You's "Beacon Fire Opera Princes", coupled with not asking about political affairs and allowing traitors to take power, annoyed those princes, and they were unwilling to send troops to King Qin when the dogs were killed. What a king. It was directly clicked by the alien race. As a result, the Great Zhou Dynasty was divided into two sections and east and west in history.

However, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was the era when the harm of the princes was the most obvious. There are five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are seven heroes in the Warring States, and they have fought for hundreds of years in a row, and they have won the Central Plains.

The princes did not obey the king's orders, and in the end, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was replaced by the Western princes Qin, and the royal family dissolved in the long river of history.

Therefore, later, although Han Gaozu divided the princes, he first killed Han Xin, and then killed Peng Yue, Yingbu, Zang Bu and other princes with different surnames, and openly shouted the slogan "If you are not the king of the Liu family, the world will fight together".

And so. Since then, there have never been princes with different surnames in the Han Dynasty, which has posed a real and big threat to the imperial power of the Han Dynasty.

But what? Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, is the Liu family, Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, and Liu An are also the Liu family, and Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, and Liu Yan from Fuling are all members of the Liu family.

Of course, compared with the joint rebellion of the seven princes of the Liu family during the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, whether it was Liu Xingju, Liu Chang, Liu An, or Liu Xu, Liu Jian, Liu Yan, or even Liu Ying, the king of Chu, the biological son of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. That's all trivial.

Although the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was put down by Zhou Yafu and others sent by the Han Dynasty in just three months, the rule of Wenjing, the most powerful rule in the Western Han Dynasty, quickly dissipated after a flash in the pan.

So much so that Liu Che, the heir of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, began to engage in the "Tui En Order" after inheriting the throne. can be regarded as a reluctance to let the Han Dynasty not happen again in the future, which made the royal family lose face and the imperial prestige is of course gone......

It is a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Tui En Order" worked in his time, and by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was still the opposition of the three kingdoms and the division of the world.

Those who know some superficial history understand that the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were actually nominally subservient to the two puppet emperors and a pair of bitter brothers of the Han royal family.

Cao Cao was a traitor in troubled times, and he did not dare to force Emperor Han Xian to give him the throne. It was not until after his death that his son was instigated by Sima Yi and others to force Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to take the throne and completely destroy the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, quarreled with Cao Cao at every turn, but he still had to admit that Cao Mengde was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he still had to admit that his "nephew" Emperor Han Xian was the co-ruler of the world.

The Sun family of Eastern Wu dominated Jiangdong, and even when he was at his strongest, he did not dare to openly shout slogans like Yuan Shu, to establish himself as the emperor, and not to respect Emperor Han Xian as the co-lord of the world.

The rebellion of the princes really caused chaos in the Central Plains for many years after the Han Dynasty. The two Jin Dynasty is a dynasty that has been surviving in the chaos of the princes, and at the time of the chaos of the five chaos, it is the princes who staged a group of heroes competing for the deer, and you sing and I appear in the era of chaos.

Therefore, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, whether it was the father and son of the Yang family, or Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Wu Zetian and others, the feudal system was extremely in-depth and strictly refined.

Because there was no restraint and threat from the princes, there was the so-called "prosperous era of the emperor", the so-called "rule of Zhenguan", and the so-called "prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty" in the early and middle Tang Dynasty.

However, there is no hundred days of red, the Anshi Rebellion is the change of princes, the army made the Tang Dynasty a mess, even the emperor was frightened by the chaos to hide in Shu, and also killed the famous Yang Guifei, who has been passed down through the ages, leaving the legend of "riding the red dust and smiling".

The power of example is endless, and good examples can make the country strong and prosperous, and can help the country and the people to be safe. A bad example is far easier to emulate than a good one.

With An Lushan and Shi Siming as examples, the late Tang Dynasty completely fell into the division and turmoil of the princes who were famous for the festival.

Until the end, the Huang Chao, who was "full of golden armor all over the city", raised troops, which directly caused the Tang Dynasty to completely fall apart, and directly gave Zhu Wen the best opportunity to usurp the Tang Dynasty......

Therefore, since Zhao Kuangyin "Chen Qiao was drunk and wore a yellow robe", he first "released the military power with a glass of wine" to his old brothers who helped him ascend to the throne at the beginning, and all the old brothers who seemed to have the appearance of a feudal town at that time took away the military power.

Therefore, since the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, the Zhao family has always strictly controlled the people who are crowned kings of their own family, and they have taken close care of the generals and those who hold military power, for fear that an accidental, Tang Dynasty rebellion will be repeated in his Great Song Dynasty......

But Liu Xing is now going to legalize and make the feudal town public, and Zhao Jinzhu couldn't help but tears streaming down his cheeks after Liu Xing said a series of new strategies in one breath.

"Brother Liu, even if you have a thousand methods, once the sub-sealing system is opened, the world will be in chaos sooner or later! Please, please, please. Please retract this decision to self-control, and don't lay the foundation for my Great Song! Unable to cry, the little princess knelt at Liu Xing's feet with a "plop". (To be continued.) )
