Chapter 1054: The First Emperor

At that time, the situation was very bloody, and everyone could fight. Therefore, in the early stage, the Huyan family did not choose to stand in line first, but watched from the sidelines, which is also a reasonable thing.

But in the later period of the succession, the advantages of the former emperor were highlighted. So the Huyan family gave the treasure to the emperor, which was also the safest way.

However, it was precisely because of the Huyan family's practices that the emperor left a mustard in his heart.

The Huyan family, as the maternal grandfather of the first emperor, did not support the first emperor when he needed help the most. Of course, the first emperor would have remembered this.

In addition, the first emperor valued the loyalty of his subjects above all else. What the Huyan family did was to protect themselves. Of course, the first emperor was very dissatisfied.

Two years after the first emperor ascended the throne, another partisan dispute broke out.

The most serious disputes occurred in the Ning Wangfu and Huyan's house.

Ning Wangfu also has to start from scratch.

At that time, King Ning's Mansion was also a royal family. The first King Ning was the brother of Gaozu. The two brothers fought together. In the end, Gaozu became emperor. He wanted his younger brother to become the emperor's younger brother. However, the first generation of King Ning was a very intelligent person. He knew that his brother might not be doing it to give his country to himself, but to test his loyalty. He refused. When he said that he was not fit to be emperor, the emperor was very happy and made him a first-class prince, and it was hereditary.

Since the first generation of King Ning, King Ning's Mansion has been quietly being a virtuous king, contributing to the royal family and enjoying supreme wealth.

But there are always one or two rebellious people in every family.

When it came to the fifth generation of the virtuous king Zhao Dan, he was a restless person.

Maybe it's because the Huyan family had a good momentum at that time, surpassing Ning Wangfu, and has the potential to catch up.

Maybe it's because Zhao Dan was born to be an active person.

In short, Zhao Dan also began to learn from Hu Yanshuo, and began to recruit talents from the world to support his disciples.

Then, compete with the Huyan family in everything.

And the Huyan family refused to give in, and the court was very busy.

In the previous dynasty, when the situation was unstable, the princes were most willing to attract visitors.

To compete for the world, we need talents.

However, today's world is the world of emperors, and the world is unified. By the time the Emperor finally took possession of the land, it was all in the air. All power was in the hands of the emperor, and everyone was just a minister.

As a minister and a disciple, the emperor knew that he would be very uncomfortable.

Especially for those who were suspicious of the previous emperor, the practices of the Ning Wangfu and the Huyan family could not be ignored.

More importantly, there were factional divisions within the imperial court, open and secret struggles, and a good state apparatus had become an arena for internal struggles. A lot of human and financial resources are consumed internally. How can the country be better?

The first emperor wanted to leave a clean name for thousands of years. He wanted to become emperor and be praised by later generations, such as Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han. However, factional struggles in the imperial court delayed his statecraft. Naturally, the first emperor's dissatisfaction with the Ning Wangfu and the Huyan family became stronger and stronger.

However, the foundation of the Ning Wangfu and the Huyan family was too thick. The first emperor had just succeeded to the throne and could not touch them. It's also hard to shake them.

Therefore, the emperor initially mainly appeased the two sides, and even often intermarried with two hostile forces, Huyan's family and Ning Wangfu, hoping that their relationship would be eased and eventually they could live in harmony.

This method is also easy to use.

In the mediation of the former emperor, the relationship between the Huyan family and the Ning Wangfu was indeed better, and there were occasional secret fights, but there were few disputes on the surface.

However, on the surface, their relationship seems to be harmonious, but on the surface there is a lot that cannot be seen.
