The Northern Dynasty of Chinese kings, why did there be 140 kings in 280 years, and how to manage it

Because the political situation at that time was relatively turbulent, and the dispute for the throne was fierce, there was no particularly capable person who could completely stabilize the regime. As for how to manage, that is, these more than 100 kings, whoever takes office, will have a new systemIn fact, their system is not very good, otherwise they would not change kings so frequently.

That era began with Liu Yuan, when northern China entered a state of melee. Several ethnic minorities like the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang, plus a Han nationality, as long as there are generals in these ethnic groups who have a little ability, they dare to call themselves emperors, so at that time, about 30 countries were established. Of course, these countries are large and small, and there are about 16 large ones, so historians also call that era the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

Among these countries, we are more familiar with the former Qin, in fact, Cao Cao has the ability to unify the north, but the timing is not goodAt the time of the Battle of Weishui, the former Qin lost its prestige because of this battle, and this also made its regime short-lived. In fact, the trend of being called emperor at that time also affected some people who didn't want to be emperor, and they had to be called emperor under the impetus of the trend, which was the case of the Qianliang regime.

Most of the people of the former Liang regime were those who fled from the Central Plains, so those people still retained some of the cultural and political systems of the Jin Dynasty and continued a kind of Han civilization in the north. ThisThe chaotic situation lasted for more than 100 years, and then there was a Xianbei Tuoba clan, the Northern Wei Dynasty's Tuoba Jue, he reunified the north to end this troubled era, and stood side by side with the Eastern Jin Dynasty called the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

I feel that the reason why there are so many kings is because of the lack of governance at that time.

It was because there were so many kings that the country was very chaotic at that time.

Because they didn't manage well, there were so many kings.

I think it's because of their lax management, which is why there are so many kings.

China has also gone through thousands of years of feudal dynasties, with many emperors reigning in each dynasty. Some emperors were more sensible and more open-minded, and governed the country in an orderly manner, while some emperors were more mediocre and did not care about the management of the country at all. And the emperor I want to talk about today is that he reigned for 48 years, and he did not go to court for 28 years, this emperor is Zhu Yijun, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, was the longest-reigning emperor of the Ming Dynasty, reigning for a total of 48 years. In 1572, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Ming Muzong died suddenly, and Zhu Yijun was only ten years old at that time, and he had no ability to take charge of the court and deal with the government, so he had no actual rights, only the name of an emperor. At that time, the government was controlled by Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, who was responsible for managing many political affairs in the court, and some affairs in the harem were handled by the Empress Dowager Li.

Under Zhang Juzheng's rule, the Ming Dynasty was socially stable, the economy developed steadily, and many wars were victorious.

Later, Zhang Juzheng died, and at this time, Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun also slowly grew up and had the ability to deal with court politics. Moreover, under the influence of Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Yijun also wanted to govern the country well, so he took some measures to make the border areas more stable, and also won victories in many Japanese wars, the society became more and more stable, and the economic development continued to improve. But in the 17th year of Wanli, he suddenly stopped going to court, and it lasted for nearly 28 years.

So later generations have also made a lot of speculation about this. Some people say that he governed the country well in the early stage, but now he is sluggish, and he has begun to be obsessed with fine wine and harem, ignoring the government.

Later, some historians carefully investigated and excavated the relevant mausoleums with reference to historical documentsIt was found that the bones of Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun were different from ordinary people, and his right leg was slightly curled up and obviously shorter than his left leg, so there is a theory that he was not ignoring the government.

It was Zhu Yijun, who after his death entered the mausoleum he had built for decades - Dingling, which was very luxurious.

28 years not to go to court is the Ming Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun, he ascended the throne at the age of 10, reigned for 48 years, grew up under the strict control of Zhang Juzheng, but after copying the family Zhang Juzheng found that it was inconsistent, resulting in Wanli's heart was deeply hit, coupled with the chaos of the Ming Dynasty's internal affairs and inability to rectify, and indulged in wine, no longer concerned with political affairs.

In fact, there are only a few who can really be regarded as emperors, there are not so many, most of them are local forces who call themselves emperors, because the evidence was turbulent at that time, and various social factors were unstable, so people took the opportunity to call themselves emperorsSo the number is very large, but in fact, they can only jump on their own territory, and no one will recognize anyone when they go out, and because of the turmoil in the evidence, they may be squeezed out of the emperor today tomorrow, which is possible.

At that time, the Northern and Southern Dynasties coexisted. Generally speaking, it is counted from the unification of the north by Emperor Taiwu of Wei, and it is called the Northern Dynasty until Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty and Zhou, and later included the five dynasties of Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi and Northern Zhou, which lasted a total of 142 years. In February of the first year of the Northern Zhou DynastyEmperor Jing of Zhou ceded the throne to Yang Jian, that is, Emperor Wen of Sui, who established the Sui Dynasty, and at this time the Northern Dynasty ended.

The Northern Dynasty marked the end of China's nearly 150-year-old chaos in the Central Plains from the Eight Kings Rebellion. Later generations of the Sui and Tang dynasties all inherited the Northern Dynasties, and the ancestors of their founding emperors were all from the noble families of the Northern DynastiesAnd from the military and political system and other fields, but also follow the Northern Dynasty and on this basis to better develop and innovate, which laid the foundation for the Sui and Tang dynasties and the great integration of the nation.

Everyone knows about the political turmoil in the Northern Dynasties, but it is precisely because of the turmoil in the Northern Dynasties that many problems have surfaced, so that as long as the problems arise, they can be solvedIt is precisely because of the chaos of the Northern Dynasties that a good foundation was laid for the later Sui and Tang dynasties, so that the Sui and Tang dynasties could develop so stably, so the development of the Sui and Tang dynasties and the Northern Dynasties still have a contribution.

This is determined by the special historical background at that time, when the warlords were fighting, the whole social situation was very chaotic, the emperor's bench was not hot, he may have been hijacked and dismissed, the so-called truth makes heroes, many people will work hard at that time, as for what the result, most of them do not think much, but there are always people who can stand out from such a war and become heroes, so as to gradually grasp the power, so in the special historical background at that time, it is not surprising that the number of emperors is large.

Because the historical background at that time was very special, the warlords were fighting at that time, and the emperor was just a puppet of them. Therefore, the change of emperor is only so that the warlords can stabilize their own strength.

Because the social environment at that time was so chaotic that a country would even change kings frequently, there were more than 140 kings in 280 years

In fact, it is a local warlord who is just called the emperor. When his subordinates had the power to fight, they rebelled on their own, and then their subordinates did the same.

Warlords fight each other, go their own way, and stand on their own as kings.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings. There are several emperors of the Northern Dynasties that are remembered.
