In fact, since ancient times, the relationship between the first and second leaders has never been handled well, especially in the ancient feudal dynasty period, it is not uncommon for the emperor and the prince to have a tragic father-son relationship because of the imperial throne.
For the emperor, since he sat on the throne of God, he truly became a loner. He will always have a strong sense of distrust of the people around him, no matter who dares to covet his throne, he is his enemy. This also includes his own heirs: the princes.
This was almost an insoluble matter, and the emperors had to find a way to cultivate a qualified heir for the sake of the future of the dynasty. However, in the process of cultivation, I do not want to share the power in my hands with the successor, after all, the attraction of the throne is so great that it is difficult for anyone to resist.
Once the supreme power of the dynasty is not in the hands of the emperor, for the civilian official group below, in order to be able to smoothly promote themselves, the loyalty of the person with the highest power becomes inevitable. At this time, for everyone, the emperor who has lost power becomes a superfluous person.

And for the ruling core of the feudal dynasty, a person without a position can only lose everything he has, including his life.
Therefore, since the pre-Qin era, successive generations of rulers have been wary of their own personally chosen heirs for the sake of power in their hands. Especially when the emperor gradually grew older, the lack of energy and the unlimited expansion of power led to a decline in the dominance of the dynasty, and he would be even more suspicious.
Even if the talent was roughly like Emperor Wu of Han, there was a tragedy of father-son suspicion, which led to the self-judgment of the crown prince Liu Zhi, although Emperor Wu of Han repented in time, but the deceased could no longer be resurrected, and could only express his feelings of missing his son through other means.
Historically, however, most emperors rarely regret a fight with their heirs. Like Tang Xuanzong, who killed three princes in succession within a day, the majesty of the emperor made the world awe-inspired.
For the emperors, although they are very suspicious of the heir, we often say that the tiger poison is still not eating children, and the emperors will not actually overturn their original ideas for no reason. However, when they saw that as the prince grew older, a large group of people began to surround the prince and build their power team, their hearts must not be able to calm down.
To this end, all the emperor could do was to often beat the prince to remind him and show his authority to the courtiers. In the process, if the crown prince had no intention of obeying the emperor or responding improperly, the two sides would inevitably erupt into conflict. For the feudal dynasty, it is the ruling center that is in turmoil, and the various forces are singing and Singing.
Of course, there are always exceptions to everything, and at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was very fond of his eldest son, Zhu Biao. This prince can be said to be the most powerful prince in ancient Chinese history, and when he was still a prince, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for the prince to participate in the handling of political affairs. You know, for other emperors, this is something that can never be done.
After all, if one knows more about dynasties than you, who will be the supreme ruler? And the hundred officials, who have been working under the crown prince for a long time, the power of the emperor is likely to be emptied. Although he was an emperor and had a revered status, he did not have the reverence of a hundred officials, but was just a puppet of another person.
After that, it is the ethereal path of life's destiny, which is basically difficult to have a good ending.
