Curious, I am suffering from bronchitis at this very moment. We are interested in the exchange of ideas not winning the debate game, so take your time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What you didn’t realize is that your very example of 安史之乱 is a counter example to your hypothesis. After 50 some odd years, emperor LiLongJi had definitely secured the mandate of heaven and the Tang dynasty was at the zenith of its power. Yet the rebellion did come. If this emperor wasn’t secure in his throne, then no emperor would ever be.

I understand that, in history, one counter example doesn’t void a hypothesis. However, now you are beginning to make exception after exception, for empress dowager to the decline of empire. It makes one wonder just during which period of an empire your hypothesis operated. The fact is that there aren’t that many emperors who enjoyed absolute and unchecked power. The Confucian scholars may wish this is the case and try to make you believe so, but the reality of power politics is hardly like that. In my opinion, Huang’s 1587 is by far the most realistic and believable portrayal of how the imperial court functioned in China. The average country bumpkins or Confucian scholars may believe the head honcho was the son of heavy, but it wouldn’t have fooled people like ZhangJuZheng who practice real politiks.

The real reason behind ZhuYuanZhang’s mass murder of his colleagues is that he learned the lesson of ZhaoKuangYing. He made sure that none of his colleagues could challenge his heir to the throne. Well, none of them did in the end, but another member of his family dethroned his grandson. This just shows how insecure the throne really was. I hope you are not making another exception for the uncles.

Two tragic heroes emerged from that Huang’s 1587. One is ZhangJuZheng who was a great statesman, but didn’t know how to raise an emperor. The boy just needed a little love, but Zhang was not a competent father neither was the empress dowager a competent mother. This eventually brought a tragic end to his reform and to his family. The other was the man who was against Zhang in his youth and was whipped 80 lashes and lost one of his buttocks as a consequence; only to discover too late in his later years how great a man Zhang was and how crucial his reform was. He spent his remaining years as an advocate for Zhang’s old way, but to no avail. Sad, isn’t it?
