Historically, the princes had an influence on various dynasties, why did they disappear in the Song

This is mainly because the Song Dynasty has learned from the past, and is afraid that its royal power will be destroyed by these princes, resulting in its own throne not being very stable. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, these clan princes were abolished. Because at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the people of the Song Dynasty at that time were still unstable, so Zhao Kuangyin also chose to appoint people around him as a way to stabilize the morale of the army at the beginning, so at this time, Zhao Kuangyin gave important responsibilities to the children around him and let them hold very important official positions.

But although Zhao Kuangyin did this, it ushered in a not very good result, that is, in the end, after Zhao Kuangyin's death, his younger brother usurped power and seized the throne. It was only after this that the Song Dynasty began to reformulate the plan for dealing with personnel within the imperial family. After that, the Song Dynasty was very strict with the children of their royal family, both in terms of monitoring and supervision.

After that, the princes of the royal family of the Song Dynasty not only did not have military power, but also did not even have actual positions, at most they only had a fief to ensure that you did not have to worry about food and clothing, and the reputation sounded better. And although many of them are said to have the name of the king, they actually have no real power, which is similar to exile.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also followed the example of the previous people at the beginning, wanting to let his clan's children serve as an important part of the country, and divide them to be princes and kings, and each of them guarded their respective vassal states, and each gave them a certain amount of military power, but the consequence of this was that the historical events of the princes' rebellion began again. Therefore, after Emperor Jianwen registered, he also made certain arrangements for his own internal treatment of the children of the imperial family.

But this time, although Emperor Jianwen said that he dealt with it, he did not succeed, and was finally defeated by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and after Zhu Di became the emperor, he also realized the seriousness of this matter, so he began to use an iron fist to abolish the military power of King Zong.

Because the Song Dynasty wanted to avoid the situation of the princes' disorderly government, it greatly weakened the rights of the princes, and the princes had no ability to rebel even if they wanted to.

Because after the Song Dynasty, it slowly became a ruling class with the emperor as the main emperor and the emperor with the army, so naturally it began to lead to the disappearance of the princes.

Because after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he did a lot of reforms, and he was afraid that other people would seek power and usurp the throne in the future, so he took a lot of precautions.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty learned the lessons of previous dynasties, although a situation of redundant officials and redundant soldiers was formedBut there is also a good side, and it is no longer caused by the princes.

Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, released the military power with a glass of wine, which greatly reduced the real power of the military generals, and the Song Dynasty did not implement the feudal system, so it would not produce vassal states. Military power and power were tightly held in the hands of the emperor.

After Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he reformulated the national policy of favoring the royal family, and began to strictly control and monitor the children of the clan, and the princes of the clan at that time not only did not have military power. There are not many actual positions, let alone fiefs, and if they are exiled, they have no real power.

Because in the early days of the Song Dynasty, there were incidents of princes vying for the throne. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, Song Taizong weakened the strength of the vassal king after succeeding to the throne and did not give the vassal king real power, so the influence of the princes on the Song Dynasty was very small.
