Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

"After that, from the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and finally to the Sui Dynasty, after 277 years of division and war, they were briefly unified under the Sui Dynasty.

"However, the second generation of the Sui Dynasty died, and the princes of the world rose again. In the end, the Taiyuan Li family once again unified the world, thus creating the Tang Dynasty!"

Yan Changqing once again wrote a big word "Tang" under "Jin Dynasty" on the blackboard behind him.

Then Yan Changqing turned his head again and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes below and continued:

"The process of strengthening centralization of power is often accompanied by the strengthening of the emperor's imperial power."

"As centralization of power is strengthened, the emperor's imperial power will be strengthened; and after the emperor's imperial power is strengthened, he will respond to further strengthen centralization of power!"

"The two complement each other and are mutually beneficial."

"In addition, the struggle between the monarch's power and the power of the prime minister mentioned last time is also a manifestation of the strengthening of the emperor's imperial power."

"I won't repeat it here. If you are interested, you can look back at the notes you have made.

After saying that, Yan Changqing turned around again and wrote the word "Jie Du Shi" next to the word "Tang" on the blackboard, and continued:

"There were many reasons for the final collapse of the Tang Dynasty, and among them there was one main reason that could never be circumvented, and that was the separatist rule of feudal towns!"

"Before we talk about the separation of feudal towns, let's first understand the [Jiedu Envoy] that led to the emergence of feudal towns!"

"In the early Tang Dynasty, along with the old system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, general commanders were placed in important areas to command troops, that is, military chiefs who controlled and dispatched troops."

"When it was first established, it was the branch envoy responsible for managing and dispatching military supplies. It also served as the camp envoy for managing the fields. It was in charge of military affairs and defense against foreign enemies."

"The main reason why there are Jiedushi envoys is because the territory of the Tang Dynasty was too large!"

"The country has a large area, so when foreigners on the border are ready to disturb or provoke the border, they will inevitably focus on one thing and miss the other."

"So in order to deal with this situation, Tang Ruizong began to delegate some powers to Jiedushi so that they could solve emergencies in a timely manner.

"The main purpose at that time was to expand territory and maintain border stability."

"However, during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedushi envoys also served as interview envoys for the prefectures and counties overseeing the Taoism in which they were located. They integrated military, civil and financial affairs into one body, surpassing the Jiedushi governors of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and were called Jieduzhen at that time."

"At that time, the military, personnel, and administrative management of the Jiedushi could all be decided by themselves, and they could even be inherited hereditary."

"Does this sound very familiar?!!"

With a faint smile on Yan Changqing's lips, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes below.

The words were filled with some unexplainable slight malice and ridicule.

...

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting below, as well as Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes could not help but swallow their saliva, and roared silently in their hearts.

【Familiar! So familiar to his Eminem!!!】

[Isn’t this his mother’s replica of the princes, kings and vassal states of the Western Zhou, Western Han, and Western Jin Dynasties?!!]

[His mother-in-law is an envoy who has mastered military power, civil rights, financial power, and political power. What is the difference between this and the princes and kings?!!]

[So the fall of the Tang Dynasty was essentially a repeat of the chaos among the princes, kings and vassals of the Western Zhou and Western Jin Dynasty?!!]

[After a long time of turmoil, why are all those dynasties just following the same old path again and again?!!]

[Why don’t the dynasties in history have long memories?!!]

[Don’t they take a look at the history of other dynasties?!!]

[As long as you take a second look at the reasons for the collapse of other dynasties in history, you will not let the dynasty you created fall into the same pit of destruction again!!!]

I have been listening to Yan Changqing talk about the Tang Dynasty from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the current Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes suddenly discovered that many of the reasons for the collapse of dynasties in history were the same.

For example, the Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by the chaos of princes, kings and vassal states.

The Western Han Dynasty also had rebellions among the princes, kings and vassal states, but the great thing about the Western Han Dynasty was that it had three generations of British rulers in succession, so it was able to resist the rebellion among the princes, kings and vassals.

The Western Jin Dynasty was also destroyed by the chaos of the princes, kings and vassal states.

On the surface, the Tang Dynasty was overthrown by the governor of the vassal town, but in fact it was also overthrown by the chaos of the princes, kings and vassal states.

[Calculating carefully, this is already the fourth dynasty that has stepped into the pit of princes and vassal states. Only one of them jumped out, and the remaining three were all trapped to death at the bottom of the pit... ………]

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there are really many dynasties that have stepped into this trap of princes, kings and vassal states!

[Fortunately, we have now read history and know the reasons for the collapse of other dynasties. After we learn the lesson, we will know that we will not do it again in the future...ㄈ

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just pushed others to his own, the history of the collapse of other dynasties, triggered his own reflection and thinking, and was ready to learn lessons. He just wanted to lament that his Ming Dynasty would not step into the same trap of princes, kings and vassal states in the future.

In the end, he thought that he and his mother-in-law had already established the vassal king system before, and had already canonized all of their sons as vassal kings!!!

[His mother-in-law, didn’t the Ming Dynasty step into the pit of princes, kings and vassal states again and again?!]

[So in the future, will the Ming Dynasty also be trapped and die at the bottom of the pit because of the pit of princes and vassal states?!!]

[After all, among the Western Zhou Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Western Han Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty who also stepped into the pit of princes and vassal states, only the Western Han Dynasty who successively became the master and replaced the British master jumped out. 】

[Then if the Ming Dynasty wanted to escape from the pit of princes, kings and vassal states, would it also have to have three generations of heroic masters like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty like the Western Han Dynasty?!!]

[My father is definitely not weaker than the three emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, but what about me?!!]

[In the future 3.3, if I succeed my father and become the emperor, will I be able to achieve achievements that are not inferior to those of the three emperors of the Western Han Dynasty?!!]

[If I achieve achievements that are not inferior to those of the three emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, then where is my son?!!]

[Can he succeed me and achieve the same feats as the three emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, and finally help the Ming Dynasty escape from the trap of princes, kings and vassal states?!!]

At this moment, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all had a bunch of complicated and strange thoughts running through their hearts.
