After Lu Lingxuan successfully ousted Empress Dowager Hu's niece Empress Hu from the queen's throne, he completely dealt a blow to Empress Dowager Hu's power, and by virtue of her being Empress Mu's godmother, she became the princess in the palace of Qi State! Since then, Lu Lingxuan has completely controlled the palace of Qi in his own hands, except for the Empress Dowager Hu, the other palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and the queen's concubines, can be sent by Lu Lingxuan at will!

As a result, the power of Lu Lingxuan, who dominated the harem, and her son Mu Tiva poured inside and outside the court! They betrayed their official positions, accepted bribes, created unjust, false and wrongful cases, amassed money, and were insatiable, making the court of Qi a dark place!

And Lu Lingxuan's mother and son relied on Gao Wei's trust in them, deceived the superiors and subordinates, every time Gao Wei wanted to reward them, they used up all the things stored in the treasury at every turn, and most of them fell into their own pockets, which caused the treasury of Qi to become increasingly empty, the national strength continued to decline, and the people were struggling to make a living!

Lu Lingxuan's mother and son acted recklessly, disrupted the court, and killed others as they wanted, which made the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty complain, but they were forced to be favored by Emperor Gao Wei of Qi, so the ministers in the court dared to be angry with him!

There is only one cake, and the more you eat, the less others will eat! Lu Lingxuan's mother and son are crazy about grabbing benefits, which will naturally harm the interests of others, so the other faction in the Qi court, led by Zu Yan, also began to attack Lu Lingxuan's mother and son for their own interests!

At the beginning, because Zu Yan and Lu Lingxuan both had Hu Luguang, a common enemy, the two walked together for the sake of interests, and finally joined forces to successfully get rid of Hu Luguang, who had a prominent position in the Qi country! But now that Hu Luguang has been killed by Gao Wei, Zu Yan and Lu Lingxuan have no common enemies, so the contradictions between them have naturally become more and more acute!

After Hu Luguang was killed by Gao Wei, Zu Yan, who had made great contributions, was trusted and reused by Gao Wei, and became the most powerful person in the court of Qi State!

However, although Zu Yan's character is poor, his ability is still good, and as a Han man, when he came to power to take charge of the Qi government, he recommended and recruited a large number of talented and prestigious Han people to serve as court officials, which made the government of Qi very enlightened and active for a while, so that the court and the whole court praised Zu Yan's governing ability!

As soon as he came to power, he achieved such good results, which made Zu Yan a little complacent, the whole person was fluttering, and his ambitions began to swell, so he began to attack those ministers in the court who were not his party, in the name of adjusting government affairs, screening and eliminating officials, and the focus was on the emperor's harem, focusing on those eunuchs and palace maids and villains in the palace, and planning to replace those who were disobedient and not loyal to themselves!

And the harem is Lu Lingxuan's territory, but now Zu Yan has reached out to the harem, which is unbearable for Lu Lingxuan, so the cooperative relationship between her and Zu Yan has completely broken down, and the two often argue over various things, and even make trouble with Gao Wei, who completely ignores political affairs, which makes Gao Wei very bored!

Zu Yan was the first to make a move against Lu Lingxuan, he hinted at Cheng Li Bolu in the imperial history, and asked him to impeach the prince of the palace, the chief secretary of the palace, to accept bribes, because Zu Yan knew that this matter involved Lu Lingxuan's son Mu Ti Po, and wanted to link Mu Ti Po with the crime of embezzlement through this case, so that Lu Lingxuan could be implicated, and then Lu Lingxuan's mother and son could be wiped out!

And Zu Yan considered that Gao Wei was an emotional person, so Zu Yan thought of wooing Empress Dowager Hu again, and wanted her to stand on his side and join forces to deal with Lu Lingxuan!

So he wrote to Emperor Gao Wei and asked for the appointment of Empress Dowager Hu's brother, who had not been deposed at that time, and it was Hu Junyu, the father of Empress Hu, who was deeply favored by Gao Wei, to serve as the leader of the army! He also wanted to transfer Hu Junyu's elder brother Hu Junbi, the assassin of Liangzhou, to Jingshi Yecheng and appoint him as the imperial historian, trying to make a wish through this series of feudal officials, so that Empress Dowager Hu could become his backup and support him to deal with Lu Lingxuan!

After Lu Lingxuan heard these things, he was very angry in his heart, and scolded Zu Yan for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and putting arrows in his back, but Lu Lingxuan was not a simple person, and Zu Yan also underestimated the relationship between Lu Lingxuan and Gao Wei, as a result, Lu Lingxuan just performed a few crying scenes in front of Gao Wei, and then explained it with emotion, which naturally deceived Gao Wei to death!

So, after Lu Lingxuan got Gao Wei's absolute trust, he began to fight back against Zu Yan!

first mobilized a series of officials to oppose and slander Zu Yan in every possible way, and then on the grounds of Gao Wei's holy decree, Hu Junyu, who had only been transferred to the center of the imperial court for a few days, was transferred out of the imperial court as the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, and relieved him of his position as the leader of the army; then transferred Hu Junbi back to Liangzhou as a assassin; In the end, Lu Lingxuan even made a move against Empress Hu, that is, as mentioned earlier, by sowing discord, he provoked Empress Dowager Hu and drove his niece out of the palace by the hand of Empress Dowager Hu!

In the end, Zu Yan, a master of party competition, made a perfect attack on Lu Lingxuan, and with the help of his underestimating opponent and Empress Dowager Hu, a pig teammate, he was easily resolved by Lu Lingxuan! And Zu Yan also began to be snubbed and alienated by Gao Wei because of this incident, but Lu Lingxuan's mother and son won the trust of Emperor Gao Wei even more!

And as a response to Zu Yan's move, Lu Lingxuan released the source of this incident, Wang Zichong, in front of Zu Yan and his henchmen, in public, not only did not ask him for the crime, but also promoted him to Jialu, so as to humiliate Zu Yan, and his attitude was extremely arrogant!

In the court of Qi State, just as the people of Lu Lingxuan and Zu Yan were fighting to the death, Han Changluan of the other faction took the opportunity to make profits and constantly expand his power!

In addition to Han Changluan becoming the leading general who commanded the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, his relatives also attained enlightenment, and the chicken dog ascended to heaven! His younger brother Han Wansui, and his sons Han Baoxing and Han Baoxin were all canonized as Kaifu Yi and the Third Division! Moreover, Han Wansui is still serving as a servant, Han Baoxing and Han Baoxin have both married the princess of Qi as their wives, and the status of the Han family is becoming more and more prominent as the Hu Luguang family back then!

And whenever the ministers were in the early dynasty, Emperor Gao Wei usually summoned Han Changluan into the palace for consultation, and only after he went down to the palace did he let the officials go to the court to perform affairs. If Gao Wei does not go to the court, there is an urgent matter in the introspection, whether it is a military emergency or an important national secret, it must first go through the hands of Han Changluan, and then he will report to Gao Wei, which shows Gao Wei's trust and reuse of him!

Moreover, Han Changluan, who was born as a military general, especially hated scholars and civil officials, no matter when he met Emperor Gao Wei in the morning or evening, at a banquet or in private, Han Changluan would say bad things about those civil officials and scholars. And he often gallops with a knife, rampage, arrogant, and treats others with a posture of staring and stretching out his fists, and a fierce and cannibalistic posture, so that the officials of the imperial court dare not look up at him when discussing things with him, and if he is not careful, he will be scolded by Han Changluan, and every time he points at them and scolds and says: "You Han dogs are really impatient, if you are disobedient, you will be killed!" ”

Therefore, with the loss of Zu Yan's power, three forces have now formed above the court of Qi State, in addition to Mu Tiva, the king of Chengyang, who has been promoted to the servant, and Han Changluan, the king of Changli, who has been promoted to the leading general, there is also Gao Ana Qiulu, who was appointed as Shang Shuling, who is in charge of the military power outside the capital of Qi and the military secrets in the palace!

They jointly held important positions in the center of the imperial court, known as the "three nobles", calamity to the country and the people, becoming more and more powerful day by day, the politics of Qi country are getting darker day by day, and the national strength is declining day by day!
