As the saying goes, where there are people, there are factions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's almost inevitable that there will be so many different factions within an organization.

If you want to divide the civil and military generals in Huainan today, you can divide at least five different factions.

The first one is to follow Yang Xingmi to lay the foundation of Huainan meritorious veterans, which is characterized by old qualifications, many merits, and deep prestige.

Gao Miao, Zhou Yin, Liu Wei, Tao Ya among the civil officials, and Li Shenfu, Zhou Ben, Zhang Xun and others among the military generals can be regarded as the leaders of this faction.

The strength of this faction is very strong, and it is the backbone of Huainan today, and even Yang Wu must rely on them.

The second faction is also the old ministers who followed Yang Xingmi, but unlike those who preceded them, these people had not made enough contributions in Yang Xingmi's era, and they gradually ascended to the throne in the process of Yang Wu gradually taking over.

This kind of people are mainly represented by Wang Maozhang, Li Jian, Liu Cun and others, their qualifications and merits are smaller than those of the first faction, but they can still be regarded as meritorious veterans of Huainan, and the relationship with Yang Wu is not close, but it is not estranged, and it is an important force in Wu today.

The third faction is naturally Yang Wu's descendant strength, mainly represented by Qin Pei and Zhu Siqing, whose qualifications and prestige are naturally far behind the previous major factions, and the strength they have mastered cannot be compared with the previous two parties.

However, this faction has Yang Wu's strong support behind him, and it is certain that they will have a bright future in the future.

As for the fourth faction, it is an external force, represented by Li Chenghe, which is characterized by the fact that its roots in Huainan are not deep, and in addition to problems such as regional differences, it is difficult for them to stand out in the Wu State, which is dominated by Jianghuai people.

However, the strength of this faction should not be underestimated, and it will definitely have a place in the court in the future.

As for the last faction, there are those officials who are not valued in Huainan for various reasons, but their official positions are relatively high.

Those who were excluded from the army in the process of separating the military from the government, those who were forced to defect to Huainan, and who had a higher status but no real power, could be counted as part of this faction.

In the past, this faction should naturally be headed by Zhu Jin, but Zhu Jin's positive performance in the past few years made Yang Wu extremely satisfied, so Zhu Jin has also had a prosperous life in the Privy Council over the years, and almost every time Yang Wu led the troops to go out, he would take him as a staff officer, and he was reused by Yang Wu.

After losing Zhu Jin, the leader, the strength of this faction is even more declining, in addition to being able to grasp some public opinion, in the future Wu State will definitely be the weakest faction.

In addition, with the passage of time, more than three years have passed since the first imperial examination in Huainan, and those who were admitted to the Jinshi at the beginning have now been promoted to the history of the state assassin with excellent performance, and their performance is so bad that they can be promoted to the history of the assassin in a few years if they have enough qualifications.

These officials who took the road of the imperial examination are still very weak today, but with the continuous opening of the imperial examination, their strength will definitely catch up and become an important faction in the state of Wu.

If Yang Wu wants to hold on to his power, in addition to constantly strengthening his authority, he must also pay attention to balancing the power between the major factions.

For him, choosing one or several families from among the hundred officials to marry is an important way to balance the major factions.

At present, among Yang Wu's three wives, Zhou Mengjie was born in the Zhou family and is considered to be in the old faction; He Yiyi recognized Li Chengsi as his father-in-law, and he could barely be regarded as an outsider faction; As for Zhong Xiuning's situation, it is a bit complicated, although the Zhong family behind her is now noble, they have no strength in Huainan, and they have not been in Huainan for a long time, so it is not easy to be counted directly into a certain faction.

From this point of view, if Yang Wu wants to marry with Baiguan, it is best to choose between the second faction and the third faction.

"Well, maybe you can send someone to inquire if there are suitable women in these people's families?" Yang Wu thought to himself.

After enrichment. The matter of the palace is easy to solve, but the other thing is a little troublesome.

"Lone has already said that there is no need for eunuchs in Lone's palace! Don't persuade Gao Ge Lao anymore, let's use more of your mind in other aspects! When Gao Miao mentioned the matter of the eunuchs used in the palace, Yang Wu hurriedly rejected his proposal.

Eunuchs were rampant in the Tang Dynasty, not only controlling the government, but also even the emperor's support or abolition were decided by them.

However, in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline inheritance and prevent the occurrence of troubled harems, the use of eunuchs in the palace is the most appropriate way, so although Gao Miao knew the disadvantages of eunuchs, he had to propose it to Yang Wu.

However, for Yang Wu, he didn't want to be scouted by a group of eunuchs who were neither yin nor yang, and he didn't want his future heirs to be accompanied by a group of people with physical and possibly even psychological defects.

Whether it is Yang Xingmi or Yang Wu, they don't have many wives and concubines, and they didn't have a state-built system at that time, so there were no eunuchs in King Wu's mansion.

And now that it was time to establish the country, Yang Wu also did not want to use eunuchs.

"Lone is not one of those faint kings who only know pleasure, what do you want the hordes of wives and concubines to do? Now that I have three wives and concubines, I will only add a few more in the future, and at most I will not exceed my father. There are not many wives and concubines, so there is no need to use eunuchs, are you still worried that you can't manage a few ladies alone? This matter is my private matter, and you don't need to ask about it, how can you manage the heavens and the earth in my home? There is no need for eunuchs, you have your own plans, you don't need to say much! ”

Seeing that Yang Wu resolutely opposed the use of eunuchs, Gao Miao could only give up after some hesitation.

This matter is not all bad, at least it can put an end to the phenomenon of eunuchs making chaos, which makes some ministers very happy, especially Gao Miao and other civil officials, they are more worried about the future of eunuch dictatorship like the Tang Dynasty, and now Yang Wu resolutely does not use eunuchs, which is not bad.

After discussing some affairs, Gao Miao asked again: "Great King, since it has been decided that Shengzhou will be the Jinling Mansion and Guangling will be the Jiangdu Mansion, where will the ceremony be held on the first day of the first lunar month?" ”

"This ......" Yang Wu groaned slightly, and finally said: "Chen Yanqian said that the Shengzhou city construction project can be completely completed before the end of the year, so if you look at it this way, it is better to hold a ceremony directly in Jinling Mansion!" ”

"Yes. Since this is the case, then the minister should send someone to Jinling Mansion as soon as possible to arrange this matter! ”

"Gao Ge Lao, since you are here, then Gu also wants to mention that Gu is going to have a grand military parade at the founding ceremony, and some soldiers from all armies will be selected to participate in the parade. This matter is still for you and General Li to work with. In the end, when Gao Miao was about to say goodbye and leave, Yang Wu suddenly mentioned something.

Holding a grand military parade at the founding ceremony can not only boost the morale of the whole army, but also allow the people watching the ceremony to see the might of the Wu army, which is conducive to further calming the people's hearts and minds, and secretly showing the people of the world the strength of the Wu army.

Yang Wu was able to inherit the throne of King Wu with military force, and opened up the territory of today's Wu State, in this era of chaos, it is naturally an important thing to show off force appropriately.

When Gao Miao heard it, he felt that this was a good idea, and he understood the benefits, and immediately promised Yang Wu that he would handle this matter with Li Shenfu.

"Tell the generals, let them choose the most elite soldiers, and each army will choose a thousand men, a total of seven thousand; Lone will also select a thousand people in the crane control army, they will not only have a military parade, but also a big competition, and get the top three, Lone will be rewarded! ”

……

With the passage of time, the day of the official start of the founding ceremony is getting closer and closer, and various preparations are steadily advancing.

At the beginning of December, under Chen Yanqian's repeated urging, the construction of the Jinling Mansion city wall was finally completed ahead of schedule.

The city wall, which is forty-two miles long and four zhang high on average, cannot be regarded as a top-level city in this era, but it is much larger than the previous Shengzhou City, and it is enough to be used as the capital of Wu today.

In addition, with the successful completion of this phase of the project, the plan to further expand the Jinling city wall has also been put on the right track, and the future Jinling city wall will definitely be further expanded, at least to reach the length of the city wall of sixty miles, as the future capital of the Wu State will not look shabby.

As the preparations on the Jinling side were gradually completed, in mid-December, Yang Wu led a large number of civil and military generals to set off from Guangling to Jinling by boat.

Guangling, the once core city of Huainan, will henceforth exist as a companion to the state of Wu, and its status will also be greatly reduced, while the status of Jinling will be greatly improved.

After arriving in Jinling, the first thing Yang Wu did was to lead everyone to Yang Xingmi's tomb outside Jinling City to worship.

Although the time he really spent with Yang Xingmi was not long, Yang Wu has always had a strong father-son relationship with Yang Xingmi in his heart.

Now that the founding of the People's Republic of China is imminent, Yang Wu naturally will not forget to tell his father about it.

After worshipping Yang Xingmi, Yang Wu officially entered the city and stayed in Jinling Palace.
