"Chaos in Clouds and Mountains"? Background
?????? In the last years of the Lu Dynasty, local separatist forces gradually became stronger, which eventually led to the collapse of the dynasty. Therefore, when Emperor Chen ascended the throne, he was always worried about the reoccurrence of separatist vassal towns, and had to separate officials' powers.
???? For example, the addition of civil servants and the addition of political advisors prevented the prime minister from having the sole power of "one person is less than ten thousand people". For example, military attachés have the power to lead troops but do not have the power to gather them. Those who have the power to gather troops do not have the right to lead troops. At the same time, they are often mobilized. The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. It consolidated the imperial power, but added many unnecessary positions and increased security risks. In order to win over people's hearts, Emperor Chen also implemented the anthracene system. While the official administration was corrupt, it also increased the burden on the national treasury. The burden on the national treasury has increased. In order to prevent the treasury from being too empty, various exorbitant taxes and levies have been imposed one after another.
???? Especially in times of famine, people die of hunger all over the land, children are exchanged for food, and banditry occurs everywhere.
?? ? The Liao Kingdom is watching in the north, and the Xiongnu is always invading in the west.
???? The Chen Dynasty is in danger!
??? Three years later, the Liao Kingdom invaded. Emperor Chen knew that the battle would be defeated, so he had no choice but to make an alliance with Tanzhou. Since then, the originally precarious rule of the Chen Dynasty has become even more precarious.
