Knowing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promulgated the Tui en Decree in disguise, why did none o

It's not that they didn't resist, but they couldn't resist, first of all: the Tui En Decree mainly took advantage of the psychological characteristic that people were selfish, and distributed the inheritance rights that only the eldest son had to the many sons below, and if the princes wanted to resist, then he should always be wary of his own sons; Secondly, the imperial court did not take back their fiefdoms, but only gave them to his sons, and the vassal kings did not have enough reason to rebel, and they did not dare to act rashly because of the lessons of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

Speaking of why the princes can't resist, we must first talk about the provisions of the Tui En Order, before the implementation of this provision, the existence of the princes is monolithic, it is difficult to disintegrate it, the eldest son has the absolute right of inheritance, after the introduction of this provision, the eldest son will not have a separate inheritance, but all the children have the right to inherit, so that the original fief will be all dispersed, within a few generations, the original princes will all be decomposed.

It can be seen from the above that the actual effect of this regulation is to weaken the power of the princes of various countries, so why did the princes not resist, because the ancient people had many children, especially them, living comfortably, many wives and concubines, and the number of children and grandchildren was surprisingly large. He will be killed by his own sons at home, and he will completely disintegrate the enemy from the inside.

On the other hand, there was a tragic lesson of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the past, which hit the power of the princes to a certain extent, consolidated the centralization of power, and nominally did not deprive the princes of their fiefdoms, so that they had no excuse for rebellion, I have to say, this plan is really powerful.

If the princes and kings want to rebel against the Tui En Order, the first to rebel is his sons and grandchildren, in which case they may die at the hands of his sons and grandchildren before the princes and kings can raise their armies.

The emperor's order, the princes naturally did not dare to resist, and if anyone dared to resist, it was an act of treason.

Because the strength is not as good as that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there were many sons of the princes at that time, relatively speaking, only the princes and the eldest son were the ones whose interests were damaged, and the others were all beneficiaries, and they were very supportive.

This is the "Tui En Order" in the name of the country, whoever dares to disobey is treason, and it just so happens that Emperor Wu of Han can take the opportunity to destroy them, so no one dares to resist.

That's because although their rights and interests were violated, but the emperor's rights were relatively large, they didn't dare to resist, even if they resisted, they didn't have the certainty of victory, rather than risking their lives, it was better to steal their lives, at least to ensure their own interests when they were alive.

Because their strength was not as good as before, there was no certainty of victory in resisting Emperor Wu of Han, and the Tui En Decree would benefit many of the princes' sons, who did not want to rise up and resist.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty slashed the feudal domain and triggered the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, because the cutting of the feudal domain infringed on the interests of the princes and kings. There is no doubt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promulgated the Tui'en Decree, which also infringed on the interests of the princes and kings, and the princes and kings did not resist, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

Because in the period of Emperor Wu, the strength of the princes was not as good as before, even if they really resisted, there was no certainty of victory, and the princes probably did not want to risk their lives, and would rather live in secret.

In order to weaken the power of the princes and kings in various places and strengthen the centralization of power, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose to promulgate the "Tui'en Order", which requires that the princes and kings can only divide their fiefs to future generations until the end of the land. Why did Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty cut the feudal domain but led to the "Rebellion of the Seven Kings", but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not rebel against the princes and kings in disguised this time? In that year, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty implemented the reduction of the feudal domain and caused the "Rebellion of the Seven Kings", this is because the cutting of the feudal domain infringed on the interests of the princes and kings, there is no doubt that the "Tui En Order" of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also infringed on the interests of the princes and kings, why the princes and kings did not resist at this time, not because they did not want to resist, but because they could not resist.

We all know that due to the ease of life and the large number of wives and concubines, the ancient princes were more able to have children than the emperor, and the number of children reached an astonishing number. For example, Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan (son of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), according to the Book of Han, the King of Zhongshan Jing alone has more than 120 sons, during the Three Kingdoms period, the reason why Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, dared to claim to be the King of Zhongshan Jing, is because there are too many descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan, even if he knows that he is impersonated, there is no way to verify. Take King Jing of Zhongshan as an example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Tui En Order" only harmed the interests of the eldest son of King Jing of Zhongshan, but for the other more than 100 sons, it was a real favor, originally these people were not able to get the slightest title and land, but with the "Tui En Order", they have their own land and Hou country, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is meat, so their group of people will become the biggest beneficiaries of the "Tui En Order", as well as the most loyal supporters.

If the princes and kings in various places want to jump out to resist the "Tui En Order", or directly pull the banner to rebel, the first to come out against the princes and kings are these vested interests, although they are descendants, but for their own interests, they will definitely not support their fathers, so even if they know that the "Tui En Order" is a chronic poison, the princes and kings have to swallow it, there is no way. In addition, due to the suppression of the princes and kings by Emperor Wenjing again and again, in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the power of the princes and kings in various places was not as good as before, and there was no certainty that they would be able to defeat the **. On the whole, it was also the reduction of the feudal domain to strengthen the centralization of power, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty led to the "Rebellion of the Seven Kings", and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty successfully implemented the "Tui En Order", which not only foreshadowed the early stage, but also showed that the master father Yan was more clever than Chao Cuo.
