Emperor Jimzhao disposed of most of the shogunate with a combination of rigidity and softness, but there are still four shogunate families standing.

The four shogunates were the Sobu shogunate, the Ekaku shogunate, the Sato shogunate, and the Kobayashi shogunate.

The former general Xiangwu who was stationed in Gaojuli was the younger brother of the shogunate general Xiangwu Ueno, and the sailor general Sato Yokoji who was killed by Xiao Chen was the nephew of the Sato shogunate general Sato Hikaru Sato.

The right court minister Kobayashi Morichi was the younger brother of Kobayashi Shogunate shogun Kobayashi Inamitsu, while Toei Dazai Ekaku Hiromitsu was the elder brother of Ekaku shogun Ekaku Ryusuke.

Their power is too strong, and the sect members are all over the Dongying court, especially in the army, and Emperor Shenzhao can't get rid of them all for a while, so he can only coexist with them in a state of some balance.

These shogunates also had an intertwined relationship, and they were originally incompatible, but in order to contend with Emperor Jimsho, they could only choose to form an alliance with each other.

These four shogunates are the henchmen of Shinshoku, and when they exist for a day, Shinzhao is as uncomfortable as a thorn in his back.

Every time I go to the court, I feel a lot of pressure.

And the only way to alleviate this internal pressure is to expand outward.

After Toei invaded Goguryeo, Shinsho appointed Xiangwu to further his studies as a general of Goguryeo, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, one is to release part of the pressure, and the other is to provoke the dissatisfaction of the other three shogunates.

There's a lot to be done here......

Unexpectedly, Xiangwu Shenxue attacked the northern tribes without authorization, and finally angered Yan Pingqiu, resulting in the defeat and death, and also lost most of the land of Gaojuli, the news came back, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the accusations were made for a while, which made Xiangwu Zhiye extremely embarrassed, and the prestige of the Xiangwu shogunate was also greatly affected.

This also disrupted Emperor Shinshoku's elaborate layout, and he originally wanted to prop up the strength of the shogunate and let them override the other three, so as to break up the alliance of the four shogunates, but it backfired, and instead caused its vitality to be greatly damaged and collapsed.

He could only take advantage of the situation, and on the grounds that Xiangwu had advanced his studies and caused huge losses by using troops without authorization, he questioned Xiangwu Zhiye, forced him to resign from his position in the army, and took the initiative to go into the field.

Later, Li Wanjiang asked the Dongying people to send troops to Yizhou and join forces to annihilate the Heaven and Earth Society, and some of the ports and territories obtained were all taken over by the Sato shogunate, which had a strong influence in the naval division.

Emperor Shinasu hinted to Hikaru Sato that he could independently do any dealings with the Great Zhou, and any benefits obtained in Yizhou would be owned by him Sato Shogunate, and if they could take Yizhou by force, they would make the entire Yizhou a fief of the Sato Shogunate.

As a result, it was tragic again, their military operation to attack Yanyun suffered a crushing defeat, the loss of troops and the loss of generals, and under the great loss of vitality, Li Wanjiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately tore his face and drove all the Sato shogunates, which had not gained a firm foothold in Yizhou, back to his hometown......

After such a toss, the four shogunates were surprisingly united, united to blame the incompetence of the imperial court, and clamored to concentrate all the forces in the country to fight to the death!

Even if it is all the jade shatters, they must recapture Gaojuli, eliminate Yanyun County, cut off the heads of Xiao Chen and Wanyan Pingqiu, and wash away the shame of their defeat......

The pressure was on Emperor Shenzhao again.

Amaterasu knew that in the current situation, no matter what, there could be no more war, so what was the difference between that and self-destruction?

Of course, there is still a difference, because if he provokes another war and predictably fails, he will be forced to abdicate and go into the wilderness, and Toei will also fall into the hands of the four shogunates.

If a miracle happens, they are lucky enough to achieve a certain partial victory, and the fruits of victory will also be divided among these insatiable shoguns, and there will be huge hidden dangers!

This is why Xiao Chen said that the situation he is in now is very embarrassing, with the double troubles of internal and external troubles.

It depends on which one he wants to solve first?

As Xiao Chen expected, he really decided to solve the internal troubles first, since he wanted to solve the internal troubles, he must stabilize the external worries, and even obtain foreign aid.

This is the reason why Emperor Shenzhao deigned to come and asked for an alliance with Xiao Chen with a very low posture to 'worship the master'.

After all, there is never love in this world for no reason.

Of course, before that, Shenzhao was also well thought out.

Shaoyan Mingguang played a decisive role in it, and he always thought that he should be good friends with Xiao Chen, at least not evil.

Because of the existence of Xiao Chen and Yanyun County, for Dongying, there is only Baili and no harm! However, those fools at the top of Dongying were short-sighted, and they only knew that they were greedy for the small profits in front of them, crying and shouting that they wanted to invade Yanyun, and they didn't realize what kind of strategic significance the existence of Yanyun County had.

I didn't figure out what kind of person Xiao Chen was at all? He's a person who can't even handle Li Wanjiang!

Even if you think about it with your ass, you should be able to understand, if Xiao Chen is a guy who is easy to deal with, then it will not be their turn to make a move, Li Wanjiang has already taken back Yanyun County!

However, Xiao Chen has been in charge of Yanyun County for so many years, Li Wanjiang has not sent a single soldier to station, but has been watching Yanyun County grow and develop...... Doesn't that tell the story?

There are actually many examples that can illustrate the problem, let's talk about the conquest of the northern Xinjiang tribes, which one of the so many powerful emperors in China for thousands of years can do it?

Some stupid guys even think that Wan Yan Pingqiu really tore his face with Xiao Chen...... It's ridiculous!

Xiao Chen is a strong man, and Shaoyan Mingguang thinks that Xiao Chen's strength is enough to be compared with Li Wanjiang of the Great Zhou and Angelina of Ross.

Of course, Xiao Chen also has weaknesses, such as his brotherly righteousness, friend feelings, and lustful ...... When he was a eunuch, he caused a lot of romantic debts, and it is said that he even visited the Qinglou?

Now that he has undergone a miraculous operation, he is no longer a eunuch, but I am afraid that he will become even more lustful.

Shaoyan Mingguang thinks that he can take advantage of Xiao Chen's two weaknesses and establish a fairly intimate relationship with him.

His Majesty did not want to sign any bilateral treaties with Xiao Chen in the name of the monarch, because he was still nominally a courtier of Great Zhou and the governor of Yanyun, and he had no right to sign any effective covenants with foreign countries.

It is better to lower His Majesty's stature and be a good friend with him in his personal name.

In addition, the most beautiful of the three princesses can be married to him, and if he agrees, then he will become His Majesty's son-in-law, that is, a proper family, just like me.

Either of these relationships is acceptable.

As for the benefits of making friends with him, it is too much, and Rong Chen will give His Majesty a detailed gift......

Shaoyan Mingguang even thought that Emperor Shenzhao could personally go to Yanyun County to meet Xiao Chen secretly, in that case, the effect would be very, very good.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen suddenly came, please Please grasp this opportunity firmly!
