Dear TJ, mate, thanks, for those links, which I had a good read through. I prefer not to repeat the wonders of Tang, which got off to an unpleasant start. <In a violent elimination of royal family due to fear of assassination, Li Shimin ambushed and killed two of his brothers, Li Yuanji and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng in the Incident at Xuanwu Gate on July 2, 626. Shortly after, his father abdicated in favor of him and he ascended the throne as Emperor Taizong. >

The Tang history is one, as everywhere, of nasty, mean and vicious fighting for power, with constant war, government impost and courtiers enjoying the baubles, accoutrements and perquisites of power.
