Chapter 392

It is not uncommon for Li Shimin to engage in a feudal division.

After all, although some people say that there was no real feudal dynasty after the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was actually called the feudal era.

The essence of the imperial society is the family. No matter how centralized the emperor wants to establish power, he cannot escape the fundamental of the family. Otherwise, it would be a change of dynasty. No matter what you say is a succession, it is actually a change of dynasty.

Just like the Guanlong Group created the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties, these four dynasties were actually established by their group of people from Daibeijun Town, and their policies and systems were also followed and used, but this will not change the fact that the world changes its ownership.

After everyone becomes emperor, especially the founding king, they will think about how to make their country last forever and their descendants last forever. Although this is simply impossible, they will also think about longevity as possible.

Li Shimin is a very capable emperor. Although he was young and had just become emperor, he had already done many major things. Although his princes are still young, he has already begun to consider the matter of ceasing, but in fact he has a long vision and a big picture.

No matter from any aspect, Li Shimin's considerations are actually correct.

Although the Central Plains have praised the centralized dynasty since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and have promoted the monarchy and the big courts, especially those Confucian scholars and civil officials, who like this system even more.

They advocate unification and centralization.

In Qin Lang's view, unified centralization is certainly a historical necessity, but it also has many limitations of the times.

After all, any system must actually have a soil to adapt, otherwise it will be a castle in the sky.

There are tens of millions of centralized power, but it cannot be said that the feudal system is nothing. At least in the emperor's view, feudalization is an important insurance to consolidate the imperial power and consolidate their whole world.

An important reason for those emperors and ministers who agreed to the feudal system was that the Zhou Dynasty had enfeoffed the children for eight hundred years, the Han Dynasty had enfeoffed the feudal system, and the country was also held for four hundred years. However, the Qin Dynasty did not enfeoff the feudal system, and it was destroyed in the second lifetime. The Wei and Jin Dynasties did not enfeoff the feudal system, and the death was not carried out in a flash.

Although the feudalization will cause the princes of the royal family to pose a threat to the central court, they cannot deny their role in banning the vassal court, and they cannot deny their role in intimidating the ambitions of ministers of different surnames.

If Emperor Gaozu of Han had not granted his children, the Liu family would have changed their surname to Lu long ago.

Cao Wei was too harsh on the royal family and restricted the royal family everywhere, which led to the Sima family usurping Cao Wei later.

"Teacher, do you think the ban is good?" Cheng Qian asked.

Qin Lang patted Chengqian on the shoulder. This kid was a little precocious and very sensitive.

"Your Highness actually doesn't have to worry too much. The seal itself is a good medicine. Specifically, it depends on how the seal is divided. If the seal is good, it will be the imperial court's wings. If the seal is not good, it will naturally lead to endless troubles."

Just like the Han Dynasty, the feudal system was established by the joint establishment of counties and states. The princes and kings of Liu surnamed deposed Lu and re-created the Han Dynasty, but later it also led to the rebellion of the Seven Kings.

Emperor Wu of Han recommended the order to abolish the martial arts of the princes and kings, which also led to Wang Mang being able to usurp the Han Dynasty later.

The Cao Wei family was too cautious about the royal family, which led to the Sima family usurping the throne. The Sima family was also very cautious at the beginning, but later the emperor went astray and forced the royal family out of the capital to become a vassal. These vassal kings did not have real power and stayed away from the center, making it difficult to threaten the court.

But later the emperor gave his princes a special feud and granted civil affairs and military power to check and balance his brothers and uncles.

In the end, the vassal chaos led to the later rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, which ignited the lead for the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Many systems or policies are often not wrong when formulated, but often change when used later, and they are wrong.

The Sima family's feudal system was actually quite good at the beginning, but later the emperor made a mess, so he buried the mines.

Li Shimin is going to enfeoff now. In essence, this is absolutely true. The emperor's brothers and princes are old, so it is definitely better to enfeoff the enfeoffment. These people who can not only avoid being trapped in the capital every day, but also play a role in protecting the imperial court and even serving as an insurance role.

The power of the royal family is naturally an insurance for the stability of the imperial power.

But this is also a double-edged sword, and it depends on the level of the person playing.

I comforted Chengqian so that he didn't have to worry, just sit and watch the changes, and respond to changes without changing.

When he returned home from the East Palace, Yu Xuanji came up to change his clothes for him. "Chenrenfang sent someone to pass on the message, saying that good things are coming today, so that you can go there quickly after you come back."

"What's a good thing?"

"There are several things. The first one is that Qinrenfang asked Duke Zhao to give Liulang a letter to the third wife of the Wu family. Today, the Wu family asked Shizhong Yang to send her birthday to her eight characters."

Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "The second good thing is that Feng Madam Feng and Changsha Princess invited Wen Linggong to be a matchmaker to send back the birth date to our Silang for Madam Feng."

"Is this third good thing that Changsun's family is also here to send their birthdays and horoscopes?"

"Indeed, Changsun Gong invited Fangpu She to come."

The Qin family suddenly settled a marriage with three families, the fourth brother and the son-in-law, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Shangdang, Feng Shaoshi, the fifth brother and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and the eldest son and

After getting a marriage letter, accepting the birth date and horoscope, the two families have entered into a engagement.

The Qin family was also having a lively life this time. The three families gave their wedding letters together to send wild geese, and the three families returned gifts together. This was indeed lively in Chang'an.

Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "A man who is only two or three years old has already made a famous daughter early. The name of the Qin family is really famous now."

Qin Lang could only smile, and could only say that famous families operated like this. Although the Qin family is a newcomer, it is the leader among the newcomers.

However, the three families that the Qin family married this time were actually upstarts. Although the Feng family was called the Jingzhao Feng family, their family was actually from Shangdang for several generations. They were also grassroots poor families before. Later, they joined the Wuchuan Military Town and became the Guanlong Group with a group of military leaders, so they turned into the Jingzhao Feng family.

As for the Changsun family, his family was originally a Xianbei and Northern Wei royal family, and went to Luoyang in the north and south. Changsun Wuji was also in a down-and-out situation when he was young, so Changsun Wuji was actually a new nobleman in the new dynasty.

Not to mention the warrior order, a newcomer from a businessman from a merchant family.

If you include Princess Changle of Qin Lang, the four sons of the Qin family, even though they are either dukes or county dukes, the marriage they marry can only be considered ordinary in this era of family clans.

After all, no woman from five surnames has been married.

Fortunately, Qin Qiong married the daughter of the Cui family in Boling, which added a lot of color to the Qin family's lintel.

Previously, Changsun Wuji took the initiative to propose marriage and wanted to marry the legitimate daughter to Qin Lang's legitimate son. Qin Qiong agreed at that time, but Cui was very dissatisfied when he heard about it because Cui planned to sign the legitimate daughter of the Boling Cui family for his son. No matter how bad it is, he would also have to decide the Fanyang Lu family, Taiyuan Wang family or Xingyang Zheng family, or Zhaojun Li family, Qinghe Zheng family, and Longxi Li family.

Fortunately, Qin Qiong was so tough this time that this matter could not be changed, which made Cui go back to her parents' home and stay for several days.

Cui felt that the Changsun family in Henan was a Xianbei Hu people, and the Changsun family had no background.

She was determined to find a daughter of five surnames for her legitimate son in the future, but unfortunately Qin Qiong responded to the Changsun family indiscriminately.

When Qin Lang arrived at Qinrenfang, he found that it was really lively here. The mansion was decorated with lights and everyone was in full joy.

"Why didn't you see the eldest lady?" Qin Lang asked Qin Qiong with a smile.

"I'm not so angry, I keep saying that I shouldn't agree to Duke Zhao's proposal."

Qin Lang smiled. The wife had long hair and short knowledge. For the current Qin family, although marriage with the five surnames can be made of gold on their names, it is far better than marriage with the Changsun family. The Qin family and Changsun family are a strong alliance of new civil and military leaders. Especially the marriage between the two families, a strong and powerful new princeling alliance was formed.

The Qin family and the Changsun family became the civil and military leaders of the new princeling party respectively. This alliance is very important. It can consolidate the status of the two families and plan a new imperial dynasty in a longer future.

Now that the Cui and Zheng families are looking for the Qin family to get married, there is no need to rush to curry favor with the five surnames. It is not after the early Tang Dynasty. The five surnames have not yet recovered their blood. It is not their turn to be arrogant. It is still the era of honors and heroes.

No matter how strong the five names are, what is the most important thing for the Qin family now is to consolidate the position in the court. This is the foundation of the Qin family now. The reputation of the five surnames marriage is an illusory thing.

"Grandma, women need to be coaxed. If you coax her well, you will just pass by. She is a smart person and she can't be really angry with you."

Qin Qiong shook his head very straight. He was good at fighting, and coaxing women was not his strength.

"Actually, it's simple. Grandpa only needs to tell Mrs. Cui that he has a few more legitimate sons. By then, the five surnames and seven sects of the people will all marry one. Wouldn't that satisfy Mrs. Cui's idea?"

Qin Qiong's face was a little flushed. How could his son say to me, "Go and entertain the guests for me."

"Grandma, I'm not kidding. You are actually still young, under forty years old. At the age of a strong and strong man, it's fine to have seven or eight sons. Even Mr. Cui can still have seven or eight more. Our Qin family is poor, and Grandmaster works hard. Look at how many people are going to have in his early fifties. Now you have to have a few more sons a year. Your Majesty has more than a dozen sons, even the Changsun Gong has twelve sons, and Yuchi Laohei. I heard that after going to Xiangzhou, I didn't do anything. My concubines have taken several rooms, and each of them is so big. Yuchi Laohei is a defeated general under the Grandmaster. Now you can't lose to Laohei in giving birth!"

Qin Qiong couldn't help but shook his head and laughed, "You kid just don't have a good face. I'm old, you kid is still young. There are so many concubines in your mansion. It's a serious matter to take the time to give birth to a few more. It's a serious matter for the Qin family. You are also a division of families and you should give birth to more."

"Grandma, then let's work together. If you give birth to ten more children, I will work hard to strive to have twenty or thirty sons in the future. In this way, our Qin family in Licheng will not be born in three generations, and then we will have a lot of children and grandchildren and lush branches and leaves!"
