In the history of china's feudal society, if the emperor grants a part of the monarchy power to the officials of the dprk to intervene in the government, it will create a monopoly. What happened in the middle and late tang dynasty to the extent that he was in politics, even to the point where he could be directly deposed? Here's an interesting history story. Let's take a look at it。
The most fundamental reason why tang dynasty is in control of the emperor is that tang dynasty has military power。
This is true not only of don dynasty, but also of several other koreans in power in history, such as east han and north wei. If he does not have military power, he will have no more than the government. Like wei zhongxian of the ming dynasty, it is basically the ultimate. But there will always be a day of liquidation because there is no military power in hand。
With military power, it's completely different. A military-powered official could not only hold the government in power, but could further interfere with the emperor's demise and even directly kill him。
The central factor in this is whether or not he has military power。
As for why don dynasty has military power, this has to do with the special history of tang dynasty. To put it simply, the emperor gave him military power. The emperor of the tang dynasty gave power to the troops in order to preserve his position of domination and counterbalance local rhythm。
The matter of tang dynasty's assumption of power must begin with the time of tang hyung-gong。
Friends who are familiar with the history of tang dynasty know that, before the time of tang hyung-gong, there had not been any known officials in tang dynasty. In the early days of tang dynasty, he was essentially the most basic position. Their duty is to serve the emperor and clean the palace. As for other areas, it is true that there is no power。
But by the time of tang hyun-gong, the position of the official changed for the first time. The change was due to the change in the military regime of tang dynasty in the era of tang hyung。
In the early years of tang dynasty, tang dynasty was essentially engaged in the military system of government. To put it simply, it's one and the same. The state is about to fight, collect soldiers directly from the locals and then take them to the front. If there is no war on the front line, these forces will be disbanded and the soldiers will go home and plant the land。
Such a system would minimize defence expenditure and even allow soldiers to feed themselves. The rapid reunification of the tang dynasty has undoubtedly played a great role。
But by the time of tang hyun-gong, the system had gradually failed。
The tang dynasty is too large to be present at the border. Because of the long military presence, it is not possible for soldiers to rotate frequently. Moreover, the very existence of the militarism is based on the large amount of land in the hands of the state. In other words, after the soldiers have stopped fighting, the state must have enough land to allow them to grow。
In the medium term, however, since the land was almost distributed, there was not much left in the hands of the state. So the foundations of the military system began to collapse。
It is for these reasons that, during tang hyun-zong's era, tang had to reform the old military system, set up a standing corps at the border and allow soldiers to land on the border. However, this would inevitably lead to the border army town being too independent, and would result in the laying of an ambush for the subsequent chaos of the anhi, as well as for the late town of tang dynasty。
Of course, tang hyun-zong is not that stupid and will not really hand over a large number of border troops to a single person. In response, the tang dynasty at the time, there was a double insurance. The first insurance is the nodal system. It is not really a permanent post, but rather a post similar to that of a late-born minister. Under this system, if there is a war on the border, the central tang dynasty will send a trusted minister to the border to lead the army. When the war is over, return to the capital. If the war is good, it can even be promoted directly。
Unfortunately, however, the obstruction of the rape of li linfo and the frequency of border fighting have forced those nodes to remain at the border for years. So the first insurance was terminated。
The second is the so-called inspection system。
The general of the border has a large number of troops, and it is natural that tang hyun-zong will not send his men to watch. But it becomes an important question to whom to monitor. The sending of royals or ministers will inevitably raise the issue of gangs. So tang hyun-zong looked to his close friends。
The influence of the minister and the royal family, the zheng dynasty, was largely unknown during the pre-dang dynasty period, as well as that of tang hyung-zong himself. That is why, after that, the tang dynasty officials had the power to patrol the army and monitor the border general。
After this decentralization, tang dynasty began to emerge. Moreover, tang hyun-zong had experienced various internal fightings in the early years for personal reasons and was very fond of frequent monitoring missions. As a result, the authority of the court is greater。
The most famous officer in tang hyun-sung's age was koo zhi. However, gorius himself is not really a bad person, and he did not do his past tour. On the contrary, there are some officials below who, in the name of the patrol, take bribes from the generals below and close the party。
One of the most famous examples is that, following the outbreak of the anshi conflict, tang gen-zong allowed general ko xianji to hold his troops at the junction to resist the attack by rebel forces in anroyama. In accordance with established practice, tang hyung-zong had to send a police officer to the front of the army。
But nobody thought it was a bad relationship with ko xianjie. That is why at this point, in order to be honest, this opportunity is an opportunity for revenge. Upon arrival at the front line, he made direct use of his powers of surveillance, reporting to tang hyun-zong that ko sheng zhik had withheld his salary and had failed to fight. It was because of this slander that tang hyun-zong was angry and allowed to kill ko sheng。
If ko xianji hadn't died, the an shiba might not have been that big。
During tang hyun-gong's time, the emperor's eyes and ears were still the only ones left behind. However, after the chaos of the anshire, the powers of the officials were greater. Because, in the chaos of the anshire, the zhong tang, who was responsible for counter-insurgency, was blessed in the early years by his entourage, li and cheng yuan. In order to maintain his security, when the peace of history is settled, the zhao tang can only hand over his army to these officials。
The decision of tang zhuong cannot be said to be unconscious. Because, in the circumstances, if he was not given to the officials and to any other person, including his own son, he could have been completely emptied or even killed. The problem, however, is that it is not that easy to take it back after giving it away。
So, after that, the tung dynasty's militia began to have military power。
In the time of tang zhong zheng, the ruling li ziang and cheng zheng zheng have been arrogant. And by the time of tang's late years, the officials could even decide directly who to make the emperor. The successor to the seon-gong tang, with the strong support of li's country and others, was able to take his place later。
At the same time, after taking office, tang realized that li's powers and others were too great to eliminate them. But the question is, what is the best way to get rid of li's officials? The answer is simple, to support the new officials in order to crush and assassinate them。
In addition to the officials, be they relatives or royal relatives, or the civil servants below, the burden of using their after-effects was greater in the circumstances. Moreover, the high-ranking officials at the time, who were in arms control, were very sensitive and would not give don the opportunity。
The position of tang dynasty was slightly reduced when tang was in power. At the same time, the military power of the militia group has not been completely eliminated. Because the son of tang cannot solve his own security problems. The central forbidden army, which protects his safety, is best placed to control it. If you give it to someone else, it threatens his safety。
Of course, the officials at this time are simply dependent on the existence of the emperor and, in the system of royal power, are in the position of a client. What really made tang dynasty a big deal was the subsequent state of the town。
After don, the next don te zhong is only the king of the throne. The issue of the assumption of power has not been resolved, nor has the local town been cut off. At the same time, the town is becoming more powerful, as it is increasingly being cut. So, when tang was taken over by the death of tang te zhong, tang zhong had just planned to reform, reintroducing yoo zongwon and others and promulgating a series of new deals. But these new deals, while touching upon the powers of the officials and the town, are still pending。
So, only 200 days after tang’s inauguration, the central secretary, gen-jin and others joined forces to force tang’s throne to be given to him. As a result of this failed empire, the power of the ruling elite has increased dramatically again。
By the time of the time of the chinese constitutional order, he was more capable himself. Soon after he reached full age, tang took advantage of his wrists, which, in turn, strangulated the group of officials and tightened the central authority. But then, when the town was cut off, don found that the old methods were not working. The former emperor of the tang dynasty, who wanted to tear down the town, supported the other towns and then used the newly supported town to crush the once powerful town. But after the old town was defeated, the new town was again big. That way, the problem of the town becomes a dead end。
Thus, after taking power, tang decided to establish a strong central army to eliminate the local army. Subsequently, the central army of the tang dynasty rose rapidly and eventually took over the town. But then, a new question emerges: who will command this powerful central army?
Clearly, the answer can only be qi. For, in addition to the officials, any power, such as a relative, royal or traditional sibling, threatens the emperor once they control the army. Only the officials, they are subject to the royal authority. Even if he were in power, he would not be the emperor himself, and the future emperor might take it back。
So, after tang's arrival, for the next few decades, the zhang chong cong group directly controlled the powerful central army. As the central army is stronger, so too is the power of the militia. Not only can the emperor stand up, but he can also have a direct impact on his demise. Tang was killed and killed by officials。
At the very root, tang dynasty is strong because they have military power and the army is strong. The emperor must also rely as much as possible on the powerful group of officials. In the latter part of tang dynasty, the emperor of tang dynasty had to rely on a group of officials to counterbalance the town and guarantee the existence of the state。
That's the truth of tang dynasty's control of the emperor。
However, this control remains, in a sense, false. Because of his special nature, even if he is in power, he cannot usurp the throne and is therefore bound to the emperor of tang. And once the central army of the tang dynasty is eliminated and the centre of the tang dynasty is completely defunct, then the authority of the tang dynasty of china will come to an end。
That is why, at the end of the dang dynasty, when the mighty central army was wiped out by the yellow nest army, the already rampant tang dynasty official disappeared。
