The Tuien Order was a policy of cutting down the domain during the Han Wudi period, and it seemed to be very effective at present, in this way, the power within the princes became more and more dispersed, and the fiefs became smaller and smaller, making them insufficient to oppose the imperial court. During the Tang Dynasty, the division of the fanzhen was also very serious, and the reason why the fanzhen did not refer to the Tuien order was mainly because the fanzhen was not a feudal state and was theoretically not allowed to inherit, and the fundamental reason was that the imperial court did not have a strong strength to suppress the fanzhen, to put it bluntly, the fanzhen did not listen to the words of the imperial court.
First, the feudal town itself is a kind of divided force, which is the local support of the army and wants to be autonomous, but most of the clan towns are not allowed to inherit, nor do they have the strength to inherit, so it is impossible to take the form of letting the sons of the jiedushi all inherit, if this is to let the power of the jiedushi disperse, but once they inherit, this harm is even greater.
Because the power of feudalism is obviously greater than that of the feudal towns, some feudal towns are only not handed over to the central government for their finances and taxes.
After the Anshi Rebellion, although the division of the clan towns had a great impact and great harm, in general, the number of clan towns that asked for succession was still a minority, not all of them were like this, and most of them were also appointed by the central government.
Even if it is an ambitious feudal town, it is not a daily confrontation with the imperial court, or even a rebellion, so we must make it clear that the two sides are basically in a very delicate relationship, except for occasional rebellions, most of the time, such as the three towns of Heshuo, still obey the orders of the imperial court.
Second, whether it is to cut the domain or to push the favor, there is a premise, that is, the power of the imperial court should be strong. The reason why Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty imposed the Tuien Order was mainly because the strength of the imperial court was there, and whoever disobeyed would fight whomever he wanted.
But the late Tang Dynasty was obviously impossible. After the Anshi Rebellion, several emperors carried out the cutting of the domain, but the effect was not obvious. In the final analysis, it was because the imperial court lacked the power to rely on, and the only ones to rely on were the Divine Strategy Army and those obedient feudal towns, but such a force was obviously impossible.
In addition, there was money, and without money, there was no war, and the finances and taxes of many feudal towns were not paid, making the imperial treasury insufficient to support a huge army.
It is also in this way that the Tang Dynasty and the Fanzhen fell into a very strange relationship, that is, no one can destroy anyone, but no one can control anyone. If a slightly stronger emperor could briefly solve the eunuch problem within the imperial court, then if he were tougher on the clan town, the problem of the clan town would be suppressed.
And the last point has to be said that the Han Dynasty successfully cut the domain, but also experienced several generations. The key is also that this is in the middle and early period of the Han Dynasty, and the goal of several emperors is to cut down the domain, and there is a continuity of policy.
However, the Tang Dynasty was impossible, and it was fortunate that the emperor after the Anshi Rebellion was able to stabilize the territory at that time, although there were also emperors like Tang Xianzong who were more successful in cutting the domain, but in the later period of his reign, the country was a mess, and the successor emperor was also a faint monarch, so the emperor who cut the domain in the late Tang Dynasty was one after another, but it could only be a former servant and a successor, and it was always uncertain.
