In the early Han Dynasty, the children of the Liu family were granted the title of princes, which caused a great disaster during the reign of Emperor Jing.

The princes and kings had conflicts with the Han court and the emperor due to various interests, and the conflict became more and more intense, which eventually triggered the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion".

Fortunately, Emperor Jing of Han reacted quickly, and Zhou Yafu and King Liang Liu Wu of Liang fought hard to fight the enemy, and finally quelled the rebellion, without causing the Han Dynasty to fall apart.

However, the issue of feudal divisions of princes in the Han Dynasty still existed. The powerful princes and kings were always a threat to the stability of the court and the country. The rebellion of the Huainan King during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han is an example.

In order to completely solve the problem of the vassal of the princes without arousing strong resistance from the princes, Emperor Wu of Han adopted a moderate way to express the grace order.

Simply put, the emperor expressed sympathy and comfort on the grounds of caring for all the children of the surname Liu, and changed the situation of only the eldest son inheriting the throne, and the other sons had no inheritance.

In order to show their concern for all the children of the Liu royal family, the court favored everyone. After the death of the princes, all the sons had the right to inherit the country, and the fiefdom was divided equally by several sons.

On the surface, the court seemed to have granted several more kings, but in fact, except for more rewards during the New Year and more high-standard royal tombs after death, the court actually suffered no losses.

The actual area of ​​land enfeoffed was still so large. The feudal states that might have threatened the court were getting smaller and smaller, and the chopsticks that were gathering together were divided into pieces.

For example, after the death of King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu, the Liang Kingdom was divided into five vassal states, so there was no more prince in the Central Plains that could challenge the court, and the emperor could feel at ease.

This method is relatively mild, and the old princes and eldest sons are definitely not happy, but the rest of the sons who were originally hopeless for the throne will naturally be happy, and they will support them more and it will be much easier to implement. It will not allow the princes and kings to unite to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

The trick of boiling frogs in warm water and killing people without blood is also called "The Order of Rewarding the Enemy, but the effect is really good.

Just now, Li Daozong mentioned that the two sons of Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan were in a different relationship and could be divided, so Xie Yi thought of this trick.

When the prince is not harmonious, what is the essence of the struggle?

Isn't it the throne?

There is no doubt that Xue Yantuo's two princes must be staring at the position of Khan of his father, the Yinan!

But Yi Nan is in his prime and may not decide the heir to the throne too early, so the struggle between the two princes is still limited and not enough to be internally fed.

But if catalysis is advanced, it will be different.

The grassland tribes are different from the Central Plains dynasty. The grassland is a tribal system, and each prince will command a part of his troops and are quite powerful. In order to stabilize his position, Yinan also needs his son's help and lead his troops to protect others.

This is different from the fact that the princes in the Central Plains do not control military and politics, and the fight mainly involves verbal battles, attacking each other, and winning the support of ministers is different from the emperor's favor.

If there is a conflict on the grassland, you can be a real shot and kill. For the Tang Dynasty, this is an opportunity.

The two princes Xue Yantuo had probably had this idea for a long time, but they were not in a suitable name. They did not dare to offend their father and man easily, so they were very tolerant.

However, if the Tang Dynasty gave a title, it would be different. It is so-called justification!

After all, for the grassland tribe, the title of the Tang Dynasty is still very valuable.

After Xue Yantuo's rise, Yi Nan's strength was once comparable to that of Jie Li Khan in the past. However, he still begged to be enthroned by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

How powerful the Western Turks were? The new Khan came to power and they also tried to pay tribute to Chang'an to seek titles, as did Tuyuhun and Tubo.

It seems that without the title of the Tang Dynasty, it would be unreasonable.

Since this is the case, I will give Xue Yantuo a title to the two princes and give the Khan a title. Anyway, it doesn’t cost money, just an edict is needed.

With this title, the two princes were legitimately able to compete for the status of Xue Yantuo's heir, and even compete with their father, the barbarian.

In this way, the grassland becomes three forces, although it is father and son. Can it be tied together in front of the throne? Maybe there will be internal fighting with each other, and then it will be consumed greatly. Will the power still cause harassment to the Tang Dynasty? At least the threat will be greatly reduced.

If it is operated properly and with some good luck, Xue Yantuo may even fall apart and never recover from it. After all, there are successful examples. For example, the Turks were divided into two parts: East and West. The Western Turks had been in civil turmoil for many years and they had just stopped.

There is no doubt that this is the scene that the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty most hope to see.

Therefore, when Xie Yi first proposed this point of view and thought of the order to express his grace, the scheming Li Daozong and Di Zhixun quickly figured out the reason.

They applauded, it was a good idea.

"Xie Yi... Xiaoyao, when I was in Chang'an, I heard that you were flexible and had many ideas. When I saw you today, it was true!" Li Daozong praised repeatedly, and his name for Xie Yi was changed during his conversation.

As a noble elder, he is called "expression" and obviously has the meaning of being close to each other.

Xie Yi said modestly: "The prince praised it, but it was just a flash of inspiration. The prince and the princes in the court must have such ideas, but they just took the lead and revealed it."

"Well, the Lords of Ganggu may have ideas, but to be honest, I really didn't expect it." Li Daozong was really honest and did not pretend at all.

Di Zhixun smiled and said, "What Master Xie said is very good, but the matter of refuting grace and enthronement needs to be discussed by the three provinces. Your Majesty's Majesty's order issuance. Is it time to go?"

Speaking of this, everyone was in a difficult situation, and now it was a critical moment. In addition to inquiries about the news, it would be best to do the matter of provoking differentiation. Moreover, since it was in the name of giving up grace, the mission announced the best when he went to celebrate his birthday, and the role it played was the most obvious.

However, this matter was only proposed in Lingzhou. It would take some time for the prime ministers of the three provinces to discuss and discuss decisions with the emperor. In addition, the time required for delivery on the road was a bit nervous.

Without the emperor nodding, the three ministers issued an edict, who dared to act privately? Besides, the people of Xueyantuo would definitely not believe it without the edict that the imperial seal was uploaded.

Li Daozong pondered for a moment and said softly: "Let's do this, you stay in Lingzhou for a day or two, and you will not delay major events if you go abroad a little later.

Then I quickly report to Chang'an, asking Your Majesty to sect the Holy Tribunal as soon as possible. If you agree, an edict will definitely be sent. Then I will send a quick horse to chase you, and I will definitely send the edict before the mission leaves the country. What do you think?"

Xie Yi and Di Zhixun immediately agreed: "What the prince said is so good, I'm working hard."

Li Daozong walked to the desk after hearing this, wrote a memorial quickly, and handed it out to his confidants. Then a team of personal soldiers from the royal palace with super strong combat power rushed out of the city and headed straight for Chang'an. (To be continued...)
