There is no enemy in the world who can threaten Datang The only thing that can threaten Datang is internal troubles.
Li Shimin felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Cheng Qian, because some of the prince's recent administrative directions were obviously moving in the wrong direction.
Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.
Li Shimin feels that he has read a lot of books recently and gained a lot.
The eldest grandson Wuji was summoned to the palace first, and the emperor planned to have a good exchange with his brother-in-law first.
"What do you think of the Zhou Dynasty's separation?"
The eldest grandson Wuji sat opposite the emperor, he hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, see you today, and found that it had only been a few months, and the emperor had grown a lot of gray hair, and he was very haggard, looking like he was in his forties.
"Your Majesty, Zhou has a sub-seal, and there are only eight hundred years in the world."
Li Shimin nodded, and asked, "The Han and Jin dynasties also implemented the system of separation, but why did there be the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and the rebellion of the Eight Kings?"
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't answer all of a sudden.
Li Shimin said slowly, "When the Zhou Dynasty was divided, the Central Plains was full of barbarians at that time, and Confucius said that the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Di were in exchange, and China was endless. ” At the time of the Zhou Dynasty, it was not as good as it is now, at that time, the Central Plains was really full of barbarism.
At that time, the core area of the Zhou Dynasty set out from Luoyang, and if you went south, you could walk to the Rongren-controlled area in the afternoon, and you could go north to Beidi in two days.
In the area of Hojing and Luoyang, there are Rong people everywhere.
There are Di, Newt, Bang, Ji Rong in the upper reaches of Weishui, there are Rong of Yiqu in the north of Jingshui, there are Rong of Dali and Lu in Luoshui, there are Lirong in the south bank of Weishui, there are Lu Hun, Yang Zhu and Quangao between Yishui and Luoshui, and there is the Rong of the Barbarian in the west of the upper reaches of Yingshui.
A hundred miles south of Luoyang is where Lu Hun Rong lived.
Less than 200 miles to the north, there are the Beidilu people.
In the third year of King Xiang of Zhou, Lu Hun Rong, Yang Ju and Quan Gao Zhirong invaded Luoyi, the capital of Zhou.
Burned the east gate of the Zhou capital.
Lu Hun Rong thought that they were fighting against the Son of Heaven, so the Son of Heaven sat in a six-horse cart, and Lu Hun's leader also sat in a six-horse cart.
In this day and age.
Zhou Tianzi and the feudal princes were busy dealing with the Rongdi barbarians everywhere every day.
The Son of Heaven and the princes have a common enemy, that is, those Rongdi barbarians.
It was in this context that the Son of Heaven and the princes worked hard to open up and lived in peace for hundreds of years.
But in the Warring States Period, in the core area of the Central Plains, there were no more barbarians with great powers, and the barbarians were either in the north or in the south.
As a result, countries began to annex each other and fight wars, and there was the Warring States Period.
In Li Shimin's view, the death of Zhou 800 was precisely due to the lack of a strong foreign enemy.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was a prince.
Why didn't the princes mess up, why did they wait until later, and there was a rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the princes of the Liu family followed the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to conquer those princes with different surnames, and to suppress the aristocratic forces after the Six Kingdoms.
But by the time Emperor Jing, the interior of the Central Plains had been cleared, and the Xiongnu were outside the Great Wall.
So, in the absence of a strong foreign enemy, the emperor of the Han family and the princes of the clan fought on their own.
The Rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty can be said to be similar, when many nomadic tribes were conquered and annexed and moved within by the Jin Dynasty.
The Jin family is dominant, and the clan is sealed.
But the result was an idiot emperor and an ambitious empress, which eventually led to the intervention of powerful clan kings, leading to the Rebellion of the Eight Kings.
If there is any difference between the Han and Jin dynasties, one difference is that the central government of the Han Dynasty was very strong, and it was united in its efforts to defeat the Seven Kingdoms.
However, Jin caused a rebellion of the Eight Kings because of problems in the court, and finally messed up the world and made the Five Hu chaotic.
The eldest grandson Wuji listened quietly, thinking about the intention of the emperor's words.
At the beginning of the emperor's succession, he implemented the history of the Shifeng Assassin, which was later changed to the actual feudal princes, and then changed to the frontier lords.
Changed step by step, but Datang still implemented feudalism.
Although it is very different from the feudalism of the Han and Jin dynasties, it is also feudal.
When the emperor said this today, he was trying to say that he wanted to change or abolish the feudals "The auxiliary machine and the Turks have been wiped out, and Tuyuhun, Goguryeo and Linyi have also been wiped out, and the Tang Dynasty has no external trouble."
"Your Majesty, there are Silla, Baekje and Dongying in the East China Sea, there are Jinya, Murowei, Khitan, Xi, and Fei in the northeast, Xue Yantuo in the north, Zhenla, Tubo, and Subi in the southwest, and Tianzhu, Persia, and Rome in the west."
Li Shimin shook his head, "It's too far, they can't threaten Datang." ” "Then Your Majesty's meaning, if you want to abolish the separation, Your Majesty has to think twice, if it was not divided, it would be fine, but since it has been divided, and then abolished, it will inevitably offend the anger of the public."
"I proposed it myself, and I can't abolish it."
Li Shimin said that he does regret the division now, but it is impossible to mention the abolition of the division, he knows very well.
"Auxiliary, divide the princes to screen the court, we must not let the princes one day rebel against the court as they did in the Han and Jin dynasties.

For the princes, containment must be strengthened.
This time, the lord's plan to increase the number of troops and reduce taxes passed by Cheng Qian was wrong. ” "The ministers have also objected, but the prime ministers think that the last change of title made many vassals not very satisfied, and this tax reduction and increase in the amount of troops can be regarded as making up for it."
"Compensation shouldn't be this way, forget it, since this thing has been passed, it is impossible to change it overnight.
Fortunately, there are still some restrictions, they are not allowed to make ordnance, and the imperial court will not get out of control, but they will have to pay more attention in the future. ” What Li Shimin thinks now is that the princes divide the border land, just like the guard dogs of the imperial court, it is necessary, but these dogs must not be too strong, otherwise they may be out of control.
"I will abolish the door shade system" The menyin system inherited by the Tang Dynasty was a system since the Sui Dynasty of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, mainly based on the guard official system, supplemented by the Renzi system of the Southern Dynasty.
Take the grade as the door shade standard, and the five grades and above have shade.
The children of lord officials above the fifth rank of the Tang Dynasty can start from the guards of the three guards and five mansions of Xun Qinyi, and these guards are all high-grade guards.
The children of Yipin can start directly from the Wupin Sanguan, or they can start from Qianniuwei.
The second and third grades can shade the seven guards.
The four-pin Ziyin is the Xun Guard, and the five-pin Ziyin is the eight-pin Yiwei.
Moreover, the children and grandchildren of these high-ranking nobles and officials can also enter the academy through the academy.
To put it bluntly, it is a hereditary system.
There is no need to participate in the imperial examination, no need to take the exam, and only by virtue of the title and official character of the family and the father's ancestors, you can directly become an official, which is the characteristic of the Datang Gate shadow system.
After the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the door shade system was also the reason why the Guanlong Group was strong.
Now the imperial court has a large number of nobles, and there are at least thousands of various nobles who are sealed and falsely sealed, even if it is a founding man, it is also from the title of the fifth grade, and he is also qualified to let the descendants enter the office.
If it doesn't change, then the court will be chaotic.
The aristocratic power will be even more powerful and out of control.
"Abolish the three internal guards of the pro-Xun Yi, abolish the door shadow system, the title can be inherited, but the children cannot be sealed."
Li Shimin thought about it for a long time before making this decision.
The power of the princes must be controlled.
The children of aristocratic officials can participate in the imperial examination and enter the office, all by virtue of their talents.
In fact, this door shade system is no different from the door valve system in the past, but it is just a replacement for the past door level based on the level of official quality.
This is a kind of privilege system, and Jiupin Zhongzheng has created a large number of gate lord clans.
The Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties also created the Guanlong military aristocratic group.
Li Shimin didn't want his Tang Dynasty to come out with an uncontrollable and powerful group of feudal princes.
Since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the core of the Weiguanmen shadow system is the three-guard system.
The three guards of the pro-Xun Yi are the entry steps of the children of the nobles and high-ranking officials, they all started from the three guards, and even because of the guard system for the children of the nobles, there are also certain hidden dangers to the safety of the capital and the palace of the imperial court.
Now Li Shimin's first knife is cut at this three guards.
The three guards were abolished, and then the door shade system was abolished.
It is impossible to rely on official qualities to make it easy for the children of the family to enter the office from generation to generation.
Even if he is the son of the prime minister, if he wants to enter the office, he can only participate in the imperial examination, or participate in the literary examination and be admitted to the jinshi.
Either participate in the martial arts, go to the martial arts hall to study after admission, and then join the army as a military attaché.
Li Shimin no longer gives the third way.
The eldest grandson Wuji did not answer easily.
The abolition of the door shadow system is not the interests of one or two people, but the interests of the aristocratic officials of the entire court.
In the past, as long as a family produced a high-ranking official, then the whole family could be passed on, and the son could easily enter the officialdom by virtue of his father's shadow.
Even one person can shade several.
But now, the door shade system is abolished, and only the title can be inherited in the future, and it will be demoted.
Moreover, the lord will no longer be awarded the rank of disbandment and given an official position, the knight is a knight, and the official is an official.
Inheriting a noble title does not necessarily mean that you will become an official.
In this way, the nobility still exists, but the gate valve and the family can be maintained.
This can be said to have violated the interests of all nobles and high-ranking officials.
When the eldest grandson Wuji thinks about himself, he can't accept this a little.
Could it be that in the future, in his own family, except for the eldest son to inherit his title, the other sons can only go to the imperial examination to enter the office, if they fail the examination, then they can only be commoners It's unimaginable.
He is a relative, or the founder of the country, if it is in Zhou Sui, or in Wude, the children of the eldest grandson family, his sons must first enter the pavilion to accompany the prince to study, or enter the country to study, and then when the age comes, he will enter the three guards and enter the palace guard.

A few years later, he was released as an official, which can be regarded as an official career.
"Your Majesty, is this a second thought?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly, "The children of aristocratic families, can they be in the same imperial examination with the children of the poor families, and they have no confidence in talent and art?"
"The minister has confidence in the children of the eldest grandson family, but it has suddenly changed so much, I am afraid that many people will find it difficult to accept it for a while."
"The imperial examination is truly fair and just, and it is also the best way to select officials for the imperial court." t1706231537:
