Although Qin Tai didn't want to get involved in political factional struggles, it didn't mean that he didn't know anything about it. The situation today is quite chaotic, even more chaotic than when Yan Song was in charge of the government.

When Qin Tai first entered the office, he felt that the relationship between the court was too chaotic. Yan Song's party controlled half of the forces at that time, Qingliu led by Xu Jie controlled nearly twenty percent of the situation, and there was another force that seemed to be grass on the wall, swinging left and right and didn't know what would happen.

In fact, the person behind the scenes of this force is Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, he controls the situation in his own hands, and when Yan Song's faction goes too far, these people will come out to check and balance Yan Song with Qingliu.

When Yan Song's execution of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi was blocked, these people would stand up with Yan Song's people to deal with Qingliu or local forces.

The tripartite forces are intricate, but it is said that you have me, I have you, sometimes they are allies, sometimes they are enemies.

Qin Tai felt that this seemed to be

"War of the Three Kingdoms". The situation is even more chaotic now than it was back then, and Emperor Longqing is considered a force, but his internal unity is not united.

Li Guifei took away part of the strength, and the infighting between Meng Chong and Feng Bao consumed a lot. Now the forces represented by Emperor Longqing do not really have much power in the hands of Emperor Longqing, and Emperor Longqing is almost impossible to control.

On the surface, the forces in the court seem to be two, the larger one is Xu Jie, and Gao Gong controls the other force.

In fact, this is not the case, Qin Tai has long seen that Xu Jie and his disciple Zhang Juzheng have an analysis. On the side that originally belonged to Xu Jie, it had already been divided into several forces.

Part of Xu Jie's control, they take Xu Jie's horse as the leader, which is called by everyone

The "old party" not only has a conservative concept, but also has begun to become cronyism. As long as it is their own people, they must support it regardless of right or wrong, they have lost their principles and justice, and have begun to be like Yan Song and his group.

Some people led by Zhang Juzheng claimed to be self-proclaimed

The "new party" is not only determined to forge ahead, but also boldly carries out reforms, and has great plans to display its strength. Some people don't

Neither is the "old party".

The "new party" is just a bystander. Gao Gong's party has also changed, since Gao Gong was demoted, some took refuge in Xu Jie, some joined Zhang Juzheng, some became the minions of Emperor Longqing, and more people elected new leaders.

Because Tan Lun was implicated by Gao Gong and forced to leave the capital, the supporters around Tan Lun also began to defect.

Even if he didn't break with Tan Lun publicly, he gradually drifted away from Tan Lun, and everyone thought that Tan Lun had lost his market because of the high arch.

Unexpectedly, Tan Lun and Gao Gong returned to the core of power so quickly, and Gao Gong became the first assistant of the cabinet, and Tan Lun also entered the cabinet as he wished.

The original subordinates have

Some of them took refuge again, and some of them broke away from their original organizations to join. In order to quickly regain power, in order not to affect everyone to take refuge, Gao Gong and Tan Lun decided not to blame the betrayer for the past, as long as everyone is willing to be loyal to themselves, they will not pursue the past.

In this way, it is a big scuffle, Emperor Longqing is a share, Li Guifei is a share, Meng Chong is a share, Feng Bao is a share, Gao Gong is a share, Zhang Juzheng is a share, Tan Lun is a share, Xu Jie's is a share, and there are many others

"Wallgrass" and centrists. Such a chaotic situation is really rare. Emperor Longqing and Concubine Li Guifei were husband and wife, and as long as the interests of Concubine Li and her children were not harmed, Concubine Li would generally support Emperor Longqing.

Feng Bao and Li Guifei are allies, and they are also a new master-servant relationship, so Feng Bao will generally obey Li Guifei's orders.

Almost everything about Meng Chong was given by Emperor Longqing, and Meng Chong knew very well that once Emperor Longqing gave up on himself, Meng Chong would be replaced by Feng Bao immediately.

Therefore, Meng Chong was obedient to Emperor Longqing, and at the same time he was looking for a way back for himself. Meng Chong was originally very close to Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet, and they controlled almost the entire imperial court.

Unexpectedly, Meng Chong had a strong rival Feng Bao and divided his forces in the palace, and Xu Jie also launched a party struggle with Gao Gong.

Xu Jie and Meng Chong joined forces to override Emperor Longqing and give Gao Gong a set, if it weren't for Qin Tai's destruction, Gao Gong and Tan Lun would have fallen on the disaster relief in the south.

Once Gao Gong and Tan Lun stepped down, Xu Jie would be able to control the imperial court and help Meng Chong control the harem.

But they underestimated two people, one was Qin Tai, who had been driven out of the court, and the other was Emperor Longqing, who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger.

Emperor Longqing gave Qin Tai power, and Qin Tai helped Tan Lun through the difficulties, almost catching Xu Jie and Meng Chong off guard.

Fortunately, Xu Jie's old plan was very calculating, and he used this incident to drive Gao Gong out of the court than everyone, and sent Tan Lun to the border by the way.

Xu Jie drove his political rival Gao Gong out of the imperial court, thinking that he could continue to control the court, but he did not know that his ally Meng Chong had new plans.

Meng Chong could see farther and see the situation more clearly than Xu Jie. Even if Emperor Longqing is not a hero, he is definitely not a straw bale, in view of the viciousness of the emperors of the past dynasties, Meng Chong decided to get closer to Emperor Longqing.

Xu Jie has already aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Longqing, even if Gao Gong does not come back in the future, Emperor Longqing will use others to fight against Xu Jie, and Xu Jie's future life will definitely not be easy.

Only with Emperor Longqing, the emperor, Meng Chong will have his own way of life, so Meng Chong did not hesitate to come up with the bad idea of drafting and supplementing the palace maids in order to please Emperor Longqing.

However, due to the destruction of Qin Tai and his wife, this plan was once again not realized, and Meng Chong once again lost the chance to resurrect.

Gao Gong and Tan Lun are masters and apprentices, and they are a pair of allies with a relatively good relationship, so their relationship is relatively strong.

Their biggest political enemy was Zhang Juzheng, who not only inherited most of Xu Jie's power, but also formed his own alliance.

Gao Gong was defeated by Xu Jie, so he wanted to take revenge on Xu Jie's disciple Zhang Juzheng. The relationship between Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng is more complicated.

They were originally the main cultivation objects of the two camps, and the two of them would not have had much contact, but they did not expect that the two of them were assigned by Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi to serve as King Yu's attendants at the same time.

They met for the first time in Yuwang's Mansion and gradually became a pair of difficult brothers, and became very good friends through Qin Tai.

Emperor Longqing, who was still King Yu at the time, was not favored by the father of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, but Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu did not completely give up this son.

At that time, the first assistant of the cabinet was Yan Song, and the second assistant was Xu Jie, and Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi assigned Yan Song to teach King Jing, and Xu Jie to teach King Yu.

Yan Song is not only busy with political affairs but also old, so the responsibility of teaching King Jing is actually the responsibility of Yan Song's son Yan Shifan and others.

Xu Jie also had to deal with national affairs, so he handed over the matter of teaching King Yu to Gao Gong, who had just entered the cabinet and had no real power.

For this reason, the two major parties respectively cultivated two princes, and in the future, one prince ascended the throne, and the other prince and his followers would stay away from the imperial court.

Everyone is more optimistic about King Jing, who can speak well, and Yan Song is the dominant party in the court, so everyone is optimistic about King Jing, not King Yu.

As Yuwang's attendants, Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun were even more unhappy than their teachers. They are not only tied to King Yu, but also have to give advice to King Yu, and even give King Yu a treat

"Nanny", handling the aftermath for Yuwang. The appearance of Qin Tai indirectly helped Yuwang, giving Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun a stage to develop their careers, and their rise also means that Yuwang can flourish.

According to the current situation, Emperor Longqing has the greatest power, he not only has supreme imperial power, but also can control Li Guifei and Feng Bao, so his current power is the largest.

As for why he was able to control Li Guifei and Feng Bao, in addition to the fact that he was the emperor, the most important reason was because he had not yet announced Li Guifei's son as the crown prince.

Once he declares Li Guifei's son as the crown prince, without anyone else's hand, Li Guifei will secretly deal with him.

As long as he dies, his son will be the new emperor, Li Guifei will be the mother of the little emperor, the empress dowager, and Feng Bao will be the new eunuch of the master of ceremonies.

As long as Emperor Longqing does not announce the name of the person who ascends the throne for a day, Concubine Li Guifei will not dare to poison him, and she will obey Emperor Longqing.

In the court, it seems that Gao Gong and Tan Lun have joined forces, and they have the most power, but in fact, this is not the case.

First, Gao Gong and Tan Lun have just returned, and their forces are not stable, and the people under them are not really of the same mind as them; second, their power is not the largest in the first place, and their power is not enough to control the situation; Third, Zhang Juzheng's New Party is huge, and it has the support of some military people, so Zhang Juzheng's strength must not be underestimated; Fourth, although Xu Jie was driven out of the core of power by Gao Gong and Emperor Longqing, Xu Jie's power is still there.

Xu Jie has been mixed in the imperial court for many years, not only in the capital but also in the local area, especially in the local Jiangnan.

A large group of local officials and squires supported Xu Jie, because Xu Jie's represented their best interests.

Xu Jie has been replacing Yan Song over the years, controlling local grassroots officials and gentry. Originally, Xu Jie wanted to finish the past few years, and when he was too old to do anything, he would hand over power to Zhang Juzheng, his son, and cronies.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng began to sing against Xu Jie, and Xu Jie's son's career encountered obstacles, so Xu Jie had to find a successor.

He chose his disciple Zhao Zhenji, but he didn't expect Emperor Longqing and Gao Gong to drive Xu Jie out of the capital so quickly.

But if Xu Jie does not hand over power for a day, his power cannot be underestimated, and he may make a comeback at any time; Fifth, Gao Gong was supported by some ministers because of his uprightness.

However, it also led to the fact that some imperial relatives and meritorious descendants did not like Gao Gong and did not support Gao Gong to take charge of the cabinet with all his might.

For this reason, Gao Gong was anxious to control the situation and sit firmly in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, otherwise Gao Gong and Tan Lun would become a joke in the imperial court.

This is also one of the reasons why Gao Gong is willing to help Qin Tai, Qin Tai's reputation is not only good, but also very prestigious in some places, and can really help Gao Gong.
