In particular, in this so-called "contest and checks and balances," the original so-called equilibrium state suddenly became seriously tilted, or even collapsed in a certain sense.

First of all, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, who was originally known as the head of the four princes, almost followed in the footsteps of the first emperor Tianzong the Great at this time.

Although he is still barely breathing, and there is not much danger to his life for a while, this person has almost become a majority of the cripples in the real sense.

Fortunately, the five sons of Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, are really competitive, although none of them have any outstanding talents, but at least the military and political affairs of their Qi land are really well managed by him.

However, even so, the five sons of Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, especially in terms of prestige, must be far inferior to their fathers, at best, they can only be the so-called mighty Qidi.

However, if this is placed in the entire Celestial Empire, or even the Donghai and Wudi, they really can't enter the eyes of the so-called "everyone" of the people.

In this way, the overall prestige of their Qi Wangfu side has gradually fallen invisibly, and there is no longer the absolute advantage of the head of the four local powerful clans in the past.

Secondly, the Zhao clan in Chu suffered a great blow out of thin air.

In particular, the new Chu King Huyan Shouping, he was originally just a so-called super fierce general, and in terms of combat effectiveness, he was really only inferior to the former Chu King Zhao Jin.

However, if this is really in charge and in charge, he will not have the two brushes of Zhao Jin. After all, this Chu land is the so-called territory of the Zhao family, and the various actual relationships are really intertwined and complicated.

In addition, as soon as the general Huyan officially took office, he did not take stability as the first priority for the time being, as agreed at the previous imperial council.

And after he officially took office, he immediately began to work directly on the so-called "screening and review", which disrupted the original rhythm as soon as he came up.

What's more, Zhao Xing, the younger brother of Zhao Jin, the former king of Chu, and his gang, the backbone of the original Chu Wangfu, are secretly holding back a fire in their stomachs.

Originally, if this Huyan Shouping was polite and could keep the original status as much as possible, Zhao Xing and his gang might really hinder the relationship in all aspects, and they would really be able to deal with him Huyan Shouping for a while.

However, when Hu Yan Shouping took office, he directly revealed his posture of wanting to conduct a big investigation.

In this way, Zhao Xing and the stalwarts of the original Chu Wangfu really couldn't bear it anymore.

You must know that Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, died in the dungeon of Zhongdu Jingshi in this way, not to mention, and there is no reasonable explanation for the violent death of Zhao Guifei.

What's more, this time, Zhao Xing, who was expected to inherit the title of King of Chu according to the usual practice, was forced to kick down by this "foreign monk" Hu Yan Shouping again.

The most important thing

is that, as Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said earlier, this Zhao Xing was not a real good man and a woman, but was really an unruly and difficult character.

Don't look at his kung fu is indeed inferior to his late brother Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, but it is not much different, and he can also be called a super fierce general of their Chu land.

In addition, the most important thing is that this man is both civil and military, and he is indeed a powerful character with a city government and a deep heart.

It can even be said that in the early years, or even in the previous period of the founding of the Celestial Empire, he Zhao Xing was the so-called best partner of Zhao Jin, the former king of Chu, and he was the leading figure above 10,000 people under one person in Chu.

In particular, in dealing with and appeasing those large number of Southern Barbarian tribes, this Zhao Xing made great contributions, and even surpassed the former Chu King Zhao Jin.

You can imagine how such a powerful character can willingly live under others for a long time, not to mention the previous unresolved cases.

In this way, it goes without saying that the actual situation in this Chu land is really precarious and imminent.

In the end, it was the great eunuch Li Gu, after this incident, the absolute authority given to him by the original emperor Tianwei the Great was also greatly frustrated.

You must know that although Li Gu was only the general manager of the Praetorian Guard in charge of the three battalions of the Praetorian Guard in the early days, plus the corresponding people and horses directly under the various functional departments in the Forbidden Palace, in fact, he could have more than 30,000 elite soldiers and horses.

In this way, the so-called four cities and nine gates of the Zhongdu Jingshi are firmly in his hands.

Of course, the situation is completely different now, although he still commands the most elite of the three battalions of the Praetorian Guard, but this is only less than 3,000 guards.

What's more, as soon as that Tianba took office, he took advantage of the incident of Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, and immediately couldn't wait to carry out a drastic so-called reorganization and rectification.

As a result, the earlier commanders and generals Zuo Ke really suffered one after another, some were directly questioned and imprisoned, some were disguised by Mingsheng and secretly demoted, and some simply transferred out of the Praetorian Guard to be demoted outside.

In addition, this Heavenly Overlord His Highness is the kind of stubborn, arrogant and domineering personality and fiery temper, and he can't tolerate any dissenting opinions at all.

Let's put it this way, as long as anyone dares to disagree in front of him or behind his back, then this person is really out of luck.

In the light case, it will be directly whipped and warned, and demoted; The most important thing is to cut the first and then play it first, so as to set an example.

In this way, not to mention the earlier Praetorian Guard generals, even the officials and ordinary people at all levels in the capital of the Central Capital were all worried and panicked all day long.

However, he is now not only the supreme commander of the Praetorian Guard, but also directly holds the so-called power of life and death in his hands.

Moreover, behind him is the loyal prince Tianxiong, who is a very popular minister, and Tianxiong is in charge of the Shenwei Army of the Gray Cloth Army guarding the Central Plains.

Originally, at the time when the Celestial Empire was first decided, the Gray Cloth Legion Shenwei Army led by Tianxiong,

It not only guards the entire Central Plains region, but also manages the capital of the town.

However, later, for the so-called balancing and counterbalancing techniques, Emperor Tianwei slowly became independent of the three battalions of the Praetorian Guard, which were responsible for directly guarding the Zhongdu Jingshi.

Not only that, but in his last year, he made an exception to promote the great eunuch Li Gu to the post of chief of the Praetorian Guard, directly commanding the vital three battalions of the Praetorian Guard.

However, who would have thought that he Tianwei Emperor had just been gone for less than three years, and the so-called pattern he had carefully arranged earlier was suddenly broken by this incident of Zhao Jin, the king of Chu.

Although many veteran and respectful ministers above the court have secretly complained about it, under the current actual situation, no one dares to talk about it easily, let alone directly impeach.

You must know that the current form is indeed not optimistic, although Emperor Tianzong is an emperor, but after all, he is only a ten-year-old young emperor, and he has not even officially been in power at all.

Originally, in the early days, the empress dowager would sometimes issue some special decrees temporarily, but now the empress dowager has also been damaged in the incident of Zhao Jin, the king of Chu.

Moreover, the most important thing is that now even Shangguan Qingyun, the only Qi King who can really compete with Prince Zhong Tianxiong, is now "difficult to protect himself".

Not to mention, not long ago, Prince Tianxiong of Renzhong also started a marriage with Song Jie, the king of Qin, and it is estimated that it will not be long before his second son Tianjing is ready to marry the baby daughter of Song Jie, the king of Qin.

In this way, at least on the surface, this Qin King Song Jie should be on the side of Prince Zhong Tianxiong and their father and son.

As for Yanwang Xiahou Zhengjin, although this person is resolute and resolute, he is also an upright person who is loyal to the country, but at this point, he is indeed quite "lonely".

Moreover, the most important thing is that he has always been deeply suspicious of the incident of Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, and always thought that everything at that time was too strange and suspicious.

Therefore, he has never given up the secret investigation of the incident of Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, and even he has vaguely noticed something, but there is just a lack of corresponding actual evidence.

In the end, it was the northern king of Wudi, Khan Iron and Golden Wind, who seemed to be ready to move again, which was his most troublesome major task at present.

In this way, the atmosphere between the high-level officials of the entire Celestial Empire suddenly became extremely subtle, and even had the implication that the wind and rain were about to come and the wind was full of buildings......

Time flies, time is like an arrow, and in a flash, it is the early summer of the fourth year of Tianzong.

On this day, in the middle of the night, Zhao Xing, the general of Chudi, was in a secret house outside the city, and suddenly four black-clothed and masked uninvited guests came together.

Not only that, after waiting for the four black-clothed masked people to enter, countless black-clothed masked people suddenly flashed on the periphery of the entire secret house.

It can be seen from the body style alone that these people should all be brave soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, but I don't know why they are all dressed like this.

I saw them, with swords in their hands and arrows in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy

appearance, the entire secret house was tightly guarded from the outside.

Not only that, but at the same time, at the intersections of various key roads on the periphery, more than a dozen ironclad elite riders suddenly appeared, and all of them were all black-clothed and masked.

However, despite the large number of them, all of them are extremely quiet. Even the war horses on the periphery were all specially treated accordingly, and there was hardly any sound.

What's more, when the four black-clad masked men entered the mansion earlier, they didn't even see any light inside, let alone any noise.
