Chapter 471: Infighting
The resignation of Gao Longzhi from his post did not affect the power operation of the Northern Qi court.
In fact, before this, he didn't care much about the affairs of Shangshu Province, and was sent by Gao Cheng to Yecheng to supervise the construction of the palace, and the affairs of Shangshu Province have always been divided between Cui Jishu and Cui Xian.
After Cui Jishu took the position of Shangshu and Cui Xian was reappointed as the left servant, Gao Cheng gave Chen Yuankang the right servant to shoot, but this is just a way to respect his position, Chen Yuankang's main job is to lead the internal government of the Department and monitor the country.
Due to the successive destruction of Siliang and Nanchen, after Gao Cheng returned to Luoyang, he began to dismantle the South Ya and the North Ya of Tingwang Si and reorganize them into foreign ya.
Wei Xiaokuan was ordered to be the envoy of the foreign government, stationed in Xiangyang, responsible for infiltrating Chuzhou, the gateway of Shu from the east, and Li Yuan as the deputy envoy, infiltrating from Hanzhong to the south
The battle of Shu still needs time to accumulate supplies, but the initial preparations for war have already begun.
All kinds of bribery, discord, coercion and other means are carried out in secret.
Previously, the Western Wei Dynasty was united with Xiao Liang and Rouran in the land of Guanlong, but it was still unable to resist the Northern Qi, but now Rouran surrendered and was the dog of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Xiao Liang was reduced to history.
Seeing that the allies around him fell, leaving only a corner of his own safety, and coinciding with the death of Yuwentai, the backbone, more and more people in the Western Wei Dynasty began to find another way.
In today's situation, even if Yuwentai is resurrected and is still powerless, let alone Yuwenhu, whose ability and prestige are far inferior to Yuwentai.
Seeing this situation, Yuwen Hu discussed with Wei Chi Hui, He Lanxiang and others, and decided to help Zhou Gongyu Wenjue usurp the throne and establish the country, and reward the ministers to reassure the people.
In July of the ninth year of Zhaode of the Northern Qi Dynasty (556), Zhou Gongyu Wenjue, with the support of Yuwen Hu, accepted the Zen concession of Yuan Kuo, the son of the Western Wei Dynasty, and established the state in Chengdu and proclaimed himself emperor.
Because Yuwentai was under the banner of restoring Zhou rites, and Yuwenjue was the Duke of Zhou, so the country was named Zhou, Yuwenjue proclaimed himself the King of Heaven, and Yuan Kuo, the son of Heaven of the Western Wei Dynasty, was named the Duke of Song, and was soon killed.
The powerful minister Yuwen Hu was promoted to the rank of Duke of Jin, and he added officials to the rank of everyone internally, in an attempt to unite people's hearts.
But when the country was in danger, there was a conflict between the monarchs and ministers.
Although Yuwenjue ascended to the position of the Son of Heaven, the military and political power was still firmly in the hands of Yuwenhu, the Duke of Jin.
At the age of fifteen, Yuwenjue did not want to lose power, so he launched a power struggle with Yuwenhu, and he won over Zhao Gui, who was the first to support Yuwentai, and Duguxin, Yuwentai's childhood playmate.
However, Yuwen Hu had the support of Wei Chi Hui, He Lanxiang and others, who controlled the Gyeonggi armed forces, and its lieutenant Chi Hui was the leading general in charge of the forbidden army.
In September, the power struggle in the Southern Zhou Dynasty finally saw blood, one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei and Southern Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Gui and Dugu Xin, the famous generals of the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi Dynasty, planned to attack and kill Yuwen Hu, but they were not secretive and were denounced by Yu Wensheng.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
Abolish the lord, support the new monarch, and kill the old lord, ignoring the last life of the first lord, and now the new monarch is older than the abolished emperor, I am afraid that there will be another battle between the monarch and the minister, and the matter has come to this point, so what can I do!"
In the secret room, Mo Chen Chong, the Duke of Liang, and Li Xun, the Duke of Tang, sighed with emotion.
With the death of Li Hu, Yuan Xin, and Yuwentai one after another, Li Bi descended to Qi, Yu Jin was killed by Gao Cheng, Zhao Gui and Dugu Xin were killed by Yuwen Hu, and Hou Mo Chen Chong became the only person left in the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.
Today, he found Tang Guogong Li Xun, and he didn't just find someone to complain about his depression.
Li Xin is the son of Li Hu, because Yu Wentai changed the surname of Wen Wu to Xianbei, so he was given the surname Ohno, also known as Ohno.
Earlier, Li Hu died of illness, and after the Yuwen clan established the Zhou, he posthumously named Li Hu as the Duke of Tang Guo, and the third son Li Yu took the title.
Li Hu's eldest son Li Yanbo was in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and Northern Qi Dynasty, and his second son Li Zhen died in battle in his early years, so the title could fall on Li Xun's head.
Not only is the family playing two-sided betting, I don't know if this is from Zhao Jun's broken household, or from the Gaoche begging Li Department, of course, it is also possible that the big Ye family from the Li family in Longxi is also prepared with both hands, as their descendants said.
Hou Mo Chen Chong found Li Xin for another reason, his wife is Dugu Xin's fourth daughter, as Dugu Xin's son-in-law, although Li Xin was not affected, he was also excluded by Yuwen Hu.
Li Xin didn't dare to trust Hou Mo Chen Chong, so he didn't pick up the conversation for a while, and only cared about eating and drinking, until Hou Mo Chen Chong asked:
"Mingze (Li Mingze) hasn't received a letter from Yan Bo yet?"
Li Xin was so frightened that he didn't even grasp the fast.
"Why did Duke Liang say this, his brother served the Gao family, and his father was furious, and he had already severed his father-son kindness with him, and he never had any more contact with him!"
Hou Mo Chen Chong smiled and said:
"Why did Ming Ze hide it from me, your brother's letter from home was still sent by me."
Li Xun couldn't believe it, he muttered:
"Is this serious?"
Hou Mo Chen Chong's smile was even bigger:
"Naturally, it's a lie to you."
Hou Mo Chen Chong secretly had contact with Northern Qi, whether it was Wei Xiaokuan or Li Yuan, they were all in Western Wei, and they had many connections in Southern Zhou, so they could easily catch up with them.
But it is impossible to really contact Li Yu through Hou Mo Chen Chong, after all, who knows whether this Hou Mo Chen Chong is sincere or false.
Although Li Yu is young and has little qualifications, his father Li Hu is also one of the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom and has his own subordinates.
Previously, Yuwentai reformed the military system and divided the elite soldiers under his command into six departments, led by Li Hu, Yu Jin, Zhao Gui, Hou Mo Chen Chong, Li Bi, and Dugu Xin, and changed the surnames of the soldiers under their command, with the same surname as the main general.
After Li Hu's death, Li Hu ruled the Ono Department and was also the one who held military power.
Hou Mo and Chen Chong knew that Li Yanbo, Li Yu's eldest brother, was an official in Northern Qi, and it was impossible for Wei Xiaokuan, Li Yuan and others not to take advantage of this relationship.
