The Ming Dynasty did not allow Wang Ye to enter Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty did not allow Wang Ye to leave Beijing, which were two different ways of treating the clan. In fact, these two methods are not perfect methods, and each has its own shortcomings. But if there is a better solution to the problem of the king of the clan, then there is no doubt that the Qing Dynasty is better.
On the one hand, the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's division of the king of the domain is to make his descendants enjoy happiness, after all, there will be more and more descendants, and it is always impossible to have the scenery of the emperor, and other descendants must also be stained with light. On the other hand, it is to defend the imperial court and the frontier, once there is an accident on the frontier, the king of the clan will attack, and if there is an accident in the imperial court, the king of the clan will also enter the king of Jingqin.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang's plan was frustrated, and several generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty spared no effort to cut the domain, disrupting Zhu Yuanzhang's good wishes, hoping that the king of the domain would resist foreign humiliation or defend the imperial court, but nothing was done.
After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he once again cut the domain, and he moved the powerful and powerful clan kings on the frontier to the interior, such as the King of Ning. More crucially, Zhu Di no longer used them, and the matter of dealing with the Mongols was assigned to the imperial court.
In fact, Zhu Di's plan is also very good, but I am afraid that What Zhu Di could not have dreamed of was that his descendants were mixed with one generation and another. There was even the humiliating experience of being captured by the Mongols.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's other wish did not affect, although the power of the king of the clan was limited, but there was no problem in living a good life. But is this really good? Old Zhu's family multiplied more and more, and the imperial court could not afford to raise them. It can be said that the problem of the king of the clan gradually became a burden in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was a heavy burden. In the face of the Internal and External Troubles of the Ming Dynasty, none of these clan kings could be trusted. The only advantage is that after Chongzhen committed suicide, Daming's bloodline can be well continued, which may be the only benefit of the king of the clan.
After the Qing Dynasty took its place, it studied the Ming Dynasty and history again, and believed that the way of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty was not advisable, and if he wanted to divide the seals, there would definitely be later cutting of the domain, which was a hidden danger.
Therefore, it is not advisable to divide the seals, so if the Qing Dynasty's clans continue to multiply, there will be more and more people, which is naturally a problem. But nothing is perfect. After the Qing Dynasty gained the world, it did not pay attention to these clan princes, nor did it expect them to play any big role.
Therefore, they were given a lot of privileges, but they were not allowed to leave Beijing, and they did not have military power in their hands, and they could honestly enjoy life. Obviously, looking at the Qing Dynasty and the Dynasty, the problem of not having a king of the clan is a very big threat missing.
But this was not much better, these clan kings were kept in captivity, had long been fattened, and raised to waste. Especially in the late Qing Dynasty, there was such a devil six, who was already good enough to call to the heavens.
