I was watching short videos and was seen by ancient people

Chapter 326 Why was the uncle’s status so high in ancient times?

[Today’s topic is why uncle’s status was so high in ancient times.

Let's first talk about a historical example. During the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's sons competed for the throne. If Li Chengqian had not committed the crime of treason, I am afraid that the throne would not have fallen to his younger brother Li Zhi.

As for the other princes, why did they not succeed in competing for the throne?

This is not only because their mother is not a queen, but more importantly, they do not have a powerful uncle.

You must know that the role of the uncle stems from the special role he plays in the family and the profound influence he has.

Let's imagine that when the family faces a critical moment of inheriting the throne, your uncles may compete with you because of their personal ambitions, but your uncle will stand by you without reservation.

Help you consolidate your power. Your uncle is the kind of person who can give selflessly and does not seek family property. His selfless dedication and firm support make him irreplaceable in the family.

Compared with uncles, although uncles may also help you, their motives often involve coveting family property.

There is a popular proverb among the people: "Thunder God in the sky is like uncle on earth. If the father dies, he will be buried casually. If the mother dies, she will wait for the uncle to come." This sentence,

Not only does it reveal the importance and status of his uncle in the family, but it also highlights his deep feelings for family members, especially his mother.

Precisely because of his uncle's selflessness and determination, emperors of all dynasties tended to give power to their uncle to consolidate their dominance.

They knew that their uncle's support was crucial to maintaining imperial power. 》

People from all dynasties saw the video on the canopy, and they deeply agreed with what was said on the canopy.

What is said on the canopy can be applied not only to royal matters, but also to them.

For example, if they have a powerful uncle, their mother can be less angry at home.

Otherwise, they are afraid that their mother will also be implicated and looked down upon by the elders in the family.

And if something happens, their uncle is also their backbone and will support them when they encounter something.

It's just a pity for them that they are just a family of civilians. No matter how close they are to their uncle, they can only help each other at critical moments.

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang watched the video on the sky screen and fell into deep thought.

After he ascended the throne, he also thought about relying on his mother's strength, but Lu Buwei's actions finally broke his heart.

But Lu Buwei was kind to him, so he could only let him go without pursuing his past.

But now seeing everything Tianmu said, Qin Shihuang did not agree.

Qin Shihuang felt that it was better to rely on others than to rely on oneself.

If you rely on the power of others to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that you will not be able to control the situation and will eventually become someone else's puppet.

Even if that person is a relative of one's own, facing absolute power, I'm afraid there will be dissatisfaction.

Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che watched the video on the sky screen, and he thought of his imperial grandfather Liu Heng, Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty.

He relied on the strength of his relatives to sit on the throne, and with his governance, the entire Han Dynasty became stronger and stronger, which gave him the strength to attack the Huns.

At the same time, he thought of his child Liu Zhi. If Huo Qubing had not died young, I am afraid that what was mentioned on the sky screen would not have happened.

At the same time, he also couldn't understand. Even after Huo Qubing died young, Wei Qing, you should be able to uphold justice. That shouldn't happen.

He only hoped that it would be broadcast on the marquee as soon as possible. Regarding the history of Han Dynasty, let him know everything about it.

He hoped that he could change all this, and that Huo Qubing would not die young.

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao watched the video on the marquee and smiled coldly. He didn't believe what the marquee said.

Although according to common sense, what is said on the sky screen is very correct, but in this world, it is not just common sense.

No matter when, people have their own desires, especially when faced with absolute power, desires are infinitely magnified.

The involvement of relatives in politics during the Han Dynasty is the best testimony.

If this were not the case, the great Han would not have fallen into the trap of holding the emperor hostage and commanding the princes.

Sui Dynasty.

When Yang Guang saw the video on the marquee, he felt that Tian Bu Chang was joking.

He was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, so why did he need his uncle's help? Are you waiting to seize the throne of your nephew like his father?

As for those disobedient ministers, just pull them out and behead them, so why bother!

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin watched the video on the marquee and felt a little numb!

He ascended to the throne after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and because of this, he hoped that his descendants could live in peace.

And everything on the sky made him deeply disappointed.

He did not expect that his descendants would do the same thing as him for the sake of the throne.

At the same time, he looked at Li Chengqian again, with a fierce look in his eyes.

You had seen the fierce light in Li Shimin's eyes before. He lowered his head unconsciously and took two steps back.

Then he raised his head, stared at Li Shimin, and took two steps forward.

He is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that this world should be passed down to him.

But now it was revealed that he did not sit on the throne, but his compatriot brother Li Zhi.

He didn't know whether all of this was because of him or his father's arrangement.

But now he needs an explanation, an explanation from his father.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's performance. He was a little angry, but he suddenly laughed.

In his opinion, Li Chengqian's retreat was a sign of cowardice, and how could such a person sit on the throne!

His performance now is what a future monarch should do.

As for other princes competing for the throne, it is not unusual in Li Shimin's opinion.

Although he hoped from the bottom of his heart that his descendants could live in harmony, there was only one throne in the world.

If they don't fight for it, I'm afraid their results will not be good.

After all, every emperor does not want to have someone around him who can threaten his power at any time! This is human nature.

But since he has decided to pass the throne to Li Chengqian, in addition to cultivating him well, he also needs to stabilize the country.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin began to arrange for other princes. He wanted these princes to go to his fiefdom as soon as possible to save them from fighting each other.

Song. When Zhao Kuangyin saw the video on the sky screen, he was also thinking about this issue carefully.

Although in a common family, it is a good thing to have the mother's family to help with the work.

But when this kind of thing appears in the emperor's house, it will only seriously interfere with the government's affairs, and the Han Dynasty is a good example.

Since the Song Dynasty was established and there were so many dynasty history books that could provide lessons, he certainly hoped to avoid this kind of thing as much as possible.

So Zhao Kuangyin summoned the ministers and discussed with them.

In the Song Dynasty in another time and space, Zhao Zhen watched the video on the sky screen and felt very calm.

Although Tianmu appealed about his uncle's role, he, who had studied history books, knew the harm they had done to the dynasty.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, national policies have been formulated to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

In their time, whether they were members of the Song Dynasty's clan or relatives, they usually kept to themselves and did not harm the court.

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the video on the sky screen, and the first thing he thought of was the involvement of relatives in politics during the Han Dynasty.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, the harm done to the entire imperial court by those relatives after they gained power was even worse than those of corrupt officials.

Since he established the Ming Dynasty in China, he hopes that the people of the world will not be oppressed by corrupt officials, so how can he tolerate the misbehavior of these relatives.

Therefore, since he ascended the throne, he has strictly prohibited the harem from intervening in politics and formulated comprehensive defensive measures for the harem to interfere in politics.

And in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, he also required his descendants that when marrying a wife, the first wife must be from an ordinary family.

"Give You an Orange: The famous uncle's representative is Zhang Sun Wuji, and the uncle's famous representative is Zhu Laosi Zhu Di. 》

"Spring is warm and flowers are blooming: The nephew is the first to cut off the feudal clan [watch]." 》

"Winter is gone and spring is coming: There is nothing wrong with cutting down the vassal, but Zhu Yunwen killed people directly, starting with the weak vassal king.

I want your money and your life, you can do great things but still have a roof over your head. He sent people to beat Zhu Di and pretended not to hurt my imperial uncle [face covering]. He beat him to pieces with a king bomb. 》

"The Sun Shines in the Sky: The key is that Zhu Di cut down the feudal clan and did not kill the feudal king. That guy Zhu Yunwen tried to kill the feudal king and did not rebel against anyone he spared. 》

"Little Star of Love: When fighting outsiders, you must first settle within yourself, don't leave it engraved in their bones [watch]". 》

People from all dynasties saw the comments on the sky screen, and they started talking one after another.

Changsun Wuji and the others knew that he was the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the Queen Changsun was his sister.

Both the prince Li Chengqian and Li Zhi who succeeded the throne were his nephews.

As for Zhu Di, they also learned about this character after the canopy appeared in the sky.

They didn't think what Zhu Di did was wrong. After all, Emperor Jianwen did too much. If not, Zhu Di wouldn't have rebelled.

Emperors of various dynasties saw the comments on the sky, and they realized the dangers of relatives interfering in politics.

In their opinion, it really shouldn't be possible for a powerful uncle to decide the successor of the defense.

If this is really the case, then what position should they be in as the monarchs of the world?

As for Zhu Di's nonsense, they didn't want to express their opinions.

After all, the battle for the throne has always been about life and death. Only one party can be the winner, and the other party can only die. Otherwise, no monarch will be safe on the throne.

"Yesterday's Yesterday: They are all weaker than Erlangshen. You must know that Erlangshen single-handedly changed his sister's execution to home isolation [knock on wooden fish], and also raised his nephew. 》

When people from all dynasties saw the comments on the canopy, they stopped discussing.

They knew who Erlang Shen was, he was a god in the sky.

But when did he have a sister? When did you have a nephew⊙_⊙?

They became curious about such gossip, but unfortunately they didn't know how to discuss it.

The literati of the Ming and Qing Dynasties suddenly had inspiration when they saw the gossip on the sky screen. They quickly picked up their pens and paper and wrote a novel with gods as the background.

Since the time-travel content was revealed on the Internet, they have been writing many novels with the theme of time-travel, which has also improved their embarrassing lives.

And now this is another subject, which is an opportunity for them to improve their lives. How can they not seize it deeply?

"Counting Ducks: If your uncle wants to take your position, most of the ministers will help you kill your uncle." Uncle wants to seek your position, and the ministers are more likely to watch the show. 》

"Everything you said is right: the main reason is that your uncles are eligible to inherit your things, so whether your uncles help you or not are actually considering their own interests, which is not that reliable.

And your uncle can't inherit your things, so there is no need to harm you. Because of your mother's relationship, your uncle is naturally on your side. 》

"February Flowers: The difference between an uncle and an uncle is that the uncle can take advantage of your family property only if he has you, and the uncle can take advantage of your family property only if you don't have you." 》

People from all dynasties saw the comments on the canopy, and they expressed great agreement with what was said in the comments.

After all, no matter what era, his uncle always stood on his mother's side.

If something really happens at home, I will definitely help.

Unlike those uncles who only think about eroding your family property.

At the same time, they also began to understand more and more why relatives in the imperial court were involved in politics.

After all, since they want to make decisions for their nephew, they need to have rights, otherwise they may be punished early.

The emperors of various dynasties saw the comments on the canopy and everything they said on the canopy of thinking.

It's not that they don't understand these principles, it's just that when there are conflicts of interest in the world, how can these principles make sense?

"Next Year Next Year: Isn't Huo Guang the upper limit for a foreign relative?" Wang Mang and Yang Jian are called the upper limit. After Cao Cao came to power, Gao Cheng married his daughter to the emperor, who could also be considered a relative. 》

"Er Wei Yan Mei: Cao Cao and Gao Huan had already settled matters in the court when they were not relatives." However, relatives are easier to control than clan members.

Because the emperor can marry anyone, the emperor can choose political marriage partners according to his own political demands. But his uncle, the emperor, had no choice. 》

"Star Trek: Not all dynasties were short-lived. Cao Wei and Northern Qi both relied on their strength to allow the emperor to marry his own daughter as a relative, and they did not start their fortunes by relying on their relatives.

The emperor valued his relatives, and those who usurped the throne like Wang Mang were overthrown within a few years [see] [see] [see]. 》

People from all dynasties were a little shocked when they saw the comments on the marquee!

Although they don't know what these relatives did in the end? But based on the comments on the marquee, they still knew that they had done something very excessive.

It was also at this time that they finally understood why the ancients said that mountains will fall if they rely on them.

If their descendants had such an uncle, I'm afraid that would be a bigger disaster!

Emperors of some dynasties became curious when they saw the comments on the marquee.

Who is this Cao Cao? Wang Mang, who is Yang Jian? And what era were Cao Wei and Northern Qi?

They hope Tianmu will give an answer, and they also hope to know what this is.

After all, these are lessons learned from their past experiences, something they can take precautions after knowing the situation.

Emperors of some dynasties remained silent when they saw the comments on the canopy. They knew what kind of characters these figures were, and they also knew the dangers of foreign relatives intervening in politics.

They have been taking precautions and do not want this kind of thing to happen again in their dynasty.
