Abstract
Abstract This article analyzes four inter-related themes that influenced Emperor Xuanzong’s 756 Pu’an decree dividing the empire into four commands and issued while he was fleeing the An Lushan rebels: the succession, the record of the princes as military commanders and provincial administrators, Xuanzong’s perspective on the Princes’ Revolt of 688, and the debate among Tang scholars about fengjian. This issue is key to understanding Pu’an episode, as marking a turning point, after which fengjian became less an issue for immediate court political decision and more a recurrent theme in general statecraft discourse.
