Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty slashed the wisdom and strategy in the domain

After the failure of chao's wrong slashing of the clan and the beheading of the waist, the Seven Kings did not stop rebelling against the imperial court, although Zhou Yafu quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms after three months, and several clan kings led by Liu Hao, the King of Wu, committed suicide, but the foundation of the Seven Kingdoms was still there, and it did not touch its root system. After several years of development, the economies of the seven countries have developed rapidly, with strong military strength and economic prosperity, which always threaten centralized power. Cutting the domain is imperative. At present, the various princely states are connected to dozens of cities, thousands of miles in place, support the army and respect themselves, and the autocratic side has become a hidden danger in the unification of government decrees. After Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, in order to implement centralized power and limit the power of the princes, he adopted the political ideas of Chao Que and Jia Yi, believing that it was imperative to completely weaken the power of the princes, and that it was easy to be arrogant and lascivious, and to rebel against the imperial court in a hurry. It is not conducive to strengthening the implementation of central government decrees. At this time, the father of the Zhongdafu lord suggested: Let the princes be given the right to divide their sons into princes, except for the eldest son who inherits the throne, all the other sons will divide the fiefs within the kingdom Fan Yuan, establish a princely state, and divide the large kingdom into smaller kingdoms and several small princely kingdoms, so that the other sons of the prince will be rewarded and supported by them. Emperor Wu adopted the proposition of the lord's father and implemented the Tuien Order in the various princely states. This was ostensibly a favor to the sons of the princes, but in fact it was intended to weaken the power of the princely states. In this way, the central government has achieved the purpose of cutting down the domain and consolidating the centralization of power. The princes believed that the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the territory was divided among their sons, which was no different from before, so they were supported by the princes. It also avoided the possibility of rebellion of the princes.

Chao's mistake in cutting the domain was strongly opposed by the Seven Kings, so that the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms occurred, and Chao's mistake was forced to cut the domain at the wrong time and under the circumstances of losing power, and failure was inevitable.

Emperor Wu of Han conformed to the situation and, taking advantage of the situation, nominally for the sake of the descendants of the kings of the various clans, so that they were unguarded, and in fact achieved the purpose of cutting the clans. Compared with chao's strategy of forcibly implementing the slashing of the domain, it is much more clever and effective, which is the superiority of Emperor Wu of Han. His strategic wisdom is evident.
