The Zhejiang Party and the pro-Tang faction are essentially civil and official factions representing the gentry clans, but the forces behind them are somewhat different, such as the interests of the maritime merchants in eastern Zhejiang and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang clans mainly represented by the Zhejiang Party, while the pro-Tang faction wants to safeguard the interests of the ministers of the Longwu Imperial Court at the beginning.

One of them supports the Tang Dynasty, the other supports Lu, putting aside the general righteousness, most of them are to grab political interests, as long as the person they support is the emperor, their interests can be maximized, just like Donglin supported Chongzhen and finally mastered the situation.

However, after the failure of the two kings to compete for the throne, their political investment was basically a failure, and with the political situation of the Ming Dynasty at this time, they continued to provide for the two kings, in fact, it was a little more, as far as the current state of the Ming Dynasty is concerned, it is almost the most expected situation of the struggle between the ministers and the imperial power of the past dynasties.

Since ancient times, there are only two ways to change a system, one is to get up like Li Zicheng, break it, and rebuild it, and the other is to integrate it, control it, and then improve it.

Wang Yan chose the latter, this is mainly his birth decision, it is difficult for him to break the Ming Dynasty, he can only improve, as he integrates into the Ming Dynasty, to the current control and slowly change, the entire political ecology of the Ming Dynasty, finally has many changes.

For more than a year, Tang Wang Lu Wang could feel that his subordinates began to get together with Wang Yan, and gradually formed a certain tacit understanding.

This is mainly because Wang Yan and the Zhejiang Party and the pro-Tang faction essentially represent the interests of the gentry and belong to the same class, and the contradictions between them are only the distribution of interests, which can be solved through game compromise, and many of Wang Yan's policies are also complex to the interests of the two factions, while the Tang King and the Lu King are royal families, and they represent the interests of the royal family, which makes them have a great contradiction with their subordinate ministers.

Just like the last time the feudal domain was moved into Taiwan, the opinions of the two kings and their ministers appeared to be in opposite directions.

King Lu put another glass of powder wine into his stomach, "The matter of the five virtue tickets, don't mention it for the time being." What does the Tang King think of Wang Yan's re-establishment of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? ”

The Five Virtue Votes are now a folk money village, and King Lu wants to control the Five Virtue Votes, but the Ming Dynasty officials and gentry love money, which is not only a problem that offends the Chu Party, but also the Wenchen they waved down will be greatly dissatisfied, which is the struggle between the idea of the whole world and the rise of humanism in the Ming Dynasty.

It is the struggle between the supremacy of imperial power and the power of the ministers, if King Lu proposes to control the five votes, then he will be able to control other votes in the future, and even the assets of the chamber of commerce and the gentry, at this time the civil officials will inevitably be together, so King Lu also feels that this matter is not easy to implement, so he shifts to the topic.

"King Lone will definitely not approve of this matter, Wang Yan said it well, the army only obeys the orders of the court, but who is in control of the court now? Besides, he has so many generals, and in the current state, our army can still maintain its independence, once it comes according to his requirements, the military guard and the Zhejiang army will be infiltrated by his people, and we will be slaughtered by others. ”

Tang Wang controls the Wu Wei Army, but if he does it according to Wang Yan's requirements, he is equivalent to using a sole proprietorship company in exchange for a quarter of the equity of the listed company, when he is a sole proprietorship, he can call the shots, but he can't be the master in the listed company, Tang Wang is not stupid, and naturally he will not give up military power.

King Lu sighed, "The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was originally within the official system of our dynasty, and its original role was to include the generals in it, and to send them to the army during wartime to prevent the generals from controlling the army for a long time and posing a threat to the imperial court." Wang Yan has only changed it slightly, and after receiving the news, many ministers agree with this policy, and I am afraid that it will be implemented when the meeting is held next year. ”

"If the army is really handed over to the imperial court, Lone has no opinion, but now it is handed over to the court, that is, it is handed over to Wang Yan, and Lone will definitely not agree."

King Lu heard Tang Wang say this, he was relieved in his heart, he was more reluctant to give up the army than Tang Wang, Tang Wang's army is mostly Jin Shenghuan, Zheng Chenggong's people, both of them have a strong independence, that is, the nature of warlords, Tang's control is actually very weak, Lu Wang is different, his army is pulled up by himself, he is very distressed, and he does not allow others to get involved.

"Yes, Wang Yan has forced the clan forces overseas, and now the entire royal family, there are only two of us, if we fall again, our royal family will be slaughtered by others, and then Wang Yan will learn from Wang Mang, and it is not yet known, so the army must not be handed over to Wang Yan!" King Lu looked at King Tang and said angrily.

The meaning of his words, in addition to his unwillingness to hand over military power, also means reconciliation and union with the Tang King.

King Tang looked at King Lu for a while, and muttered for a while, "In this matter, we should indeed keep it up!" ”

When King Lu heard this, he couldn't help but pick up the wine jug, fill a glass for King Tang, and then pour it for himself.

This is reconciliation and drinking, Tang Wang glanced at it, then picked it up and raised his head and did it, King Lu also drank it in one gulp, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Tang Wang put down the wine glass, and then said: "However, now Wang Yan is in control of the court situation, and the results of the imperial court are really good, except for the problems in Sichuan, the other battlefields are successive victories, not only financially to the officials to add money, but also to increase the imperial court income to 13 million taels, Jiangnan and other places are rapidly restored, Nanjing is prosperous, has been supported by hundreds of officials and the people, we want to oppose him, there is no reason, and few people support, we must think of a way!" ”

Tang Lu is now able to drink together, a big reason is that the two of them have broken their dream of being an emperor.

If the prince makes a mess of the Ming Dynasty after he takes power, then they still have the possibility of seizing the throne, but now the court is becoming more and more prosperous, and it is not only Wang Yan who sits firmly in the seat, but also the little emperor above.

"In fact, the situation in the imperial court is not as optimistic as it seems! If someone gains in the world, someone loses, and there is no reason for everyone to take advantage. Tang Wang looked at Nanjing so prosperous, but he didn't know that the local land annexation, the rise in prices, the annexation of thousands of wealthy families to grow cotton, the rise of various workshops, and the competition of small people but a large number of bankruptcies, which will be a huge hidden danger for the imperial court in the future, and not everyone supports Wang Yan. King Lu saw that King Tang was a little decadent, and said in a deep voice: "And in this army reform, in addition to our disapproval, presumably the generals under Wang Yan will not be willing to hand over military power. If he digs up our ministers, can't we poach his generals? As long as there are many generals who oppose it, this reform will certainly not be realized. “

Tang Wangdao didn't expect this, he only saw the prosperity of Nanjing, but he didn't know that this phenomenon would occur in the place, but some small people and small landlords, even if they were dissatisfied with the court, had no influence and couldn't help them, but King Lu said that digging Wang Yan's generals could give it a try, after all, this reform also damaged their interests.
