After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao tapped the table slightly, as if he had anticipated it. "Things always turn around when they reach their extreme! This temperament is just like Cao Cao's!"

"Sima Yi..." Cao Cao's voice gradually turned cold as he sneered, "The Sima family will be utterly wiped out!"

Meanwhile, the other members of the Cao clan under the sky were also indignant, and some even began to try to contact Cao Zhi.

Sima Yi sensed impending doom, but the spies watching the Sima family from the doorway were also waiting for their move.

In the end, Sima Yi sat down in the hall. He thought he was calm and composed, but why were his hands trembling?

Zhu Qinggu continued, "...Later, when the Sima family established the Jin Dynasty, they learned from the lessons of Cao Wei. In order to prevent the power of the imperial clan from being too weak to protect the central government, they began to enfeoff the imperial clan members. These members enjoyed political and military power, which resulted in the War of the Eight Princes."

"This is going from one extreme to another."

"Throughout history, most dynasties have oscillated between these two extremes, and throughout history, the restrictions on vassal kings have outweighed their promotion."

"By the time of the Ming Dynasty, it is amazing to find that the Ming Dynasty directly demonstrated both of the two extremes."

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned black and green.

Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di) shut up.

Emperor Renzong of Ming, Zhu Gaochi, coughed lightly, while Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, Zhu Zhanji, touched his nose...

Everyone has seen enough of the absurdities of the Ming Dynasty and knows what the situation was like for the Ming Dynasty's imperial family and princes; indeed, it was just these two extremes.

That's right.

"When Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he had no brothers left, so the princes he enfeoffed were all his sons, who were sent to guard the frontier. For the princes to do these things, they certainly needed military power, financial power, and personnel power."

"By the time of Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen was worried that he would not be able to control his uncles. His uncles had such great power, how could he tolerate others snoring beside his bed? So he would definitely have to reduce the power of the princes."

"If he had been more lenient and slowed down the reduction of the power of the princes, his uncles wouldn't have had such strong objections, and the 'Jingnan Campaign' wouldn't have happened later."

"One of Zhu Di's slogans during the Jingnan Campaign was to oppose the reduction of the power of the princes, but after he became emperor, he became very active in reducing the power of the princes. It's the same reason that he was worried about others launching a rebellion while he was also fighting a rebellion himself."

"He basically overturned the system of vassal kings left by Zhu Yuanzhang, leaving only high-ranking officials and generous salaries. As long as these vassal kings do not participate in politics, cannot wander around, cannot interact with each other, and cannot do anything, they can enjoy wealth and honor forever."

"Therefore, the princes of the Ming Dynasty could only do nothing in their fiefdoms, become corrupt and decadent, enjoy themselves and have children, which led to the Ming Dynasty having too much money to support the royal family."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and sent a comment on the screen.

(Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang: Fourth son, you rebellious son, you're very good!)

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di shrank back. Wouldn't it have been the same no matter who was in charge?

If it were you, I bet you would have done even worse than me!

(Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di: Father, we were forced to do it by circumstances!)

What a helpless act! This is treating them like pigs. What about those members of the imperial clan who, in order to get enough to eat, threatened to rebel but ended up being imprisoned under the high walls of Fengyang?

—They really had a full meal.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to look.

The Zhu family father and son are quite amusing. Although Zhu Di is always criticized, it also shows that the father and son have a good relationship.

Li Shimin actually hoped that his children could be a little more unruly towards him.

Let's not rebel.

The elderly father remains worried.

Zhu Qinggu also saw their comments and chuckled slightly, "...The Qing Dynasty's policy of tributary states can be said to have balanced these two points quite well."

"Having learned from the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty did not intend to let its children and grandchildren live a life of ease. Their children and grandchildren would have certain rights and privileges, but they would need to fight and struggle to earn them back."

"The Qing Dynasty stipulated that titles were not congenital; it was not the case that the emperor's son was necessarily a prince."

"Members of the royal family can only be granted the title of king if they have made certain contributions and possess certain abilities."

This also caught the eye of emperors from other dynasties.

Zhu Qinggu searched on Baidu and found the information: "...Among Emperor Kangxi's twenty-four sons, nine princes did not have titles."

It is quite unusual that the emperor's sons do not hold titles.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly. This was not to his liking. How could he not let his son and his son's descendants enjoy wealth and honor after he had worked so hard to build the country?

"Secondly, the Qing Dynasty abolished the hereditary system of nobility, stipulating that all nobility titles were inherited at a lower level. Even if the emperor's son was granted the title of prince, if the prince's children and grandchildren could not establish meritorious service, they were likely to become ordinary people. Only members of the imperial family who made great contributions to the country could inherit the title."

"Furthermore, the Qing Dynasty strictly managed the imperial clan and attached great importance to the education and training of princes and grandsons."

"As soon as members of the royal family are weaned, they start reading."

Zhu Qinggu then searched on Baidu for the daily schedule of Qing Dynasty princes.

[At 3 a.m., which is the Yin hour, we would get up to study. At 5 a.m., which is the Mao hour, the teacher would arrive and classes would begin. At Chen hour, the emperor would check our homework and give us instructions. At Si hour, we would practice calligraphy. After lunch at noon, we would continue studying.]

From 1 PM to 3 PM, which is the Wei hour (1-3 PM), we will practice riding, archery, and martial arts...

I still need to study in the evening, and I won't get ready to go to sleep until midnight, around 11 PM.

Then, under the sky, other dynasties saw this schedule and realized that their descendants were not even as good as the Tartars.

Roll it up! Roll it up! Study! Study like there's no tomorrow!

After all, you can't be worse than the Tartars, can you?

Zhu Qinggu: orz

She can study late, but she can't get up this early.

Getting up at 7 a.m. is already the greatest respect she can show to 8 a.m.

It's said that if you go to bed late and wake up early, you won't grow taller, right?

Children need to sleep more, and she needs to sleep more too.

Liu Qi glanced at young Liu Che and said, "Study hard."

Little Liu Che: "...(?Д?)?"

Liu Che glanced at Crown Prince Liu Ju, his eyes full of hope, and said, "Study hard."

Liu Ju: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴

Liu Bei pondered, "Could it be that A Dou's study time was too short?"

Liu Shan felt a chill run down his spine.

Today, countless emperors' children will be forced into this situation.

Maybe this is a good thing?

"Moreover, the emperor would arrange some challenging problems for the princes based on their abilities, so the quality of the Qing dynasty royal family was slightly better than that of the royal families of other dynasties." Zhu Qinggu gestured with his fingers.

"Furthermore, the Qing Dynasty imposed many restrictions on princes."

"They had no real power, and during the Kangxi era, the phenomenon of Manchu nobles enclosing land was completely prohibited, thus avoiding the situation of regional princes seizing power and becoming too powerful to control."
