That is, the person who dared to gossip was basically killed by the first emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and after Tian Hongyi slaughtered several of his brothers, the huge number of Northern Qi royal families had withered to the point that when Tian Hongyi ascended the throne, there was only one prince who had always ignored the government and his relatives.

Moreover, at that time, Tian Hongyi was in control of the military power by himself, and he was already responding to every call within the Northern Qi Dynasty, so he naturally didn't need to look at other people's faces when doing things. But Xiong Mu is different, when the Emperor of Southern Chu died, Xiong Mu was just a palace maid, a powerless and powerless sixth prince, when the first emperor of Southern Chu died and Kowloon seized the heir, Xiong Mu was not even qualified to be mentioned.

But whoever laughs last will laugh the best, and now that Xiong Mu is sitting in this position, the grass on the graves of the others is basically three feet high. However, compared to Tian Hongyi's ability to make decisions after ascending the throne, the situation faced by Xiong Mu is much more complicated.

This is also the undesirable consequence of Xiong Mu's borrowing too much power when he ascended the throne, but Xiong Mu really had no way at that time, although Tian Hongyi was not the most powerful one among the princes of Northern Qi, but he couldn't stop his luck.

Among them, you are the master of the six gates, known as the "iron-faced selfless" Cui Jin, needless to say, the peerless grandmaster's martial arts cultivation, the top ten status of the grandmaster's list of rivers and lakes, I don't know how many strong opponents Tian Hongyi has defeated along the way.

And the "seven-star judge" Zhuge who broke with Tian Hongyi in the end, although he is not as amazing and talented as Cui Jin in martial arts, he is also an extraordinary figure. Not only is he outstanding, but he is also good at figuring out people's hearts, and Tian Hongyi did not do a good thing of fighting with the snipe and the clam and profiting from the fisherman.

Later, Tian Hongyi controlled the trade routes that a few brothers looked down on, and after his wings gradually increased, he directly mastered part of the military power of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which later had the strength and heritage of killing his father and brother, and adding the yellow robe.

But Xiong Mu was really just a poor prince who was not close to his grandmother, uncle, and penniless, and was able to unite various rivers and lakes and then obtain the support of the previous generation of clansmen, Xiong Mu was already a means. Moreover, although the first emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty was so happy and self-serving, the importance of military affairs was self-evident.

Although the emperor of Southern Chu is also a bastard, he can't stop his hobbies from being more elegant, and they are all wonderful pen danqing, beautiful silk and bamboo and other things.

Of course, the north is strong and the south is weak, which also has a natural relationship with the geographical location

During the reign of the previous dynasty of the great unification, the northern nomads have been a lingering trouble, their coming and going like the wind, plundering, that is, they are hit head-on, and after recuperating for a while, they will regroup and make a comeback.

Therefore, five hundred years ago, the Northern Qi and Southern Chu divided the river and ruled, but the style of painting has always been a little different, most of the northern land is bitter cold, the people are fierce, and there are foreign invasions from time to time, so although the Northern Qi is not abundant, the national strength is not very strong, but the army has always maintained a very strong combat effectiveness.

And the south of the Nulong River has been fertile land since ancient times, and the rich area of water and drought from people, and Jiangnan County is the land of fish and rice, and the reputation of the world.

It is not that there have been virtuous monarchs in Southern Chu, but whenever these monarchs want to reform the disadvantages of the times, they find that they have just started, as if they are standing on the opposite side of the entire Southern Chu, and when they look back, their courtiers and relatives of the emperor are wearing silk and satin, and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, where do these things come from?

Cutting off people's financial paths, such as killing your parents, let you be the supreme of the Ninety-Five, if you want to risk the disapproval of the world, to move everyone's cheese, there are naturally countless difficulties and dangers waiting for you, as the so-called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, Nanchu was relatively weak most of the time, and how much turmoil can it withstand?

And this kind of predicament reached its peak when Xiong Mu ascended the throne, because the emperor of the previous dynasty was mediocre, and the already unstable imperial power of Southern Chu had been completely hollowed out, and Xiong Mu took advantage of the situation to ascend to the throne, and he would only be more constrained.

Therefore, Tian Hongyi and Xiong Mu ascended the throne almost at the same time, but after the two ascended the throne, what they could do was not the same.

Tian Hongyi ascended the throne as the emperor, after cleaning up the mess in the court, he set out to establish the eight imperial merchants and the four towns of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and attacked the Xiongnu in the north for 3,000 miles. Yu Xi firmly took the land of Longxi, which had been in civil strife for more than 100 years, firmly under his control, destroyed several small countries in the Western Regions and returned with a full load, and broke the coastal Japanese in the east, so that he still sent envoys to pay tribute in Linyi City every year.

After decades of fighting in the south and the north, the Northern Qi began a long period of recuperation, and after its national strength gradually became stronger, the four towns that had begun to emerge in the past were also strong, whether it was a leading general,

is still a low-level sergeant, and his quality has been greatly improved.

Although Tian Hongyi temporarily gathered his fangs, but what he wanted, Xiong Mu naturally knew that when Tian Hongyi was fighting in the south and the north, Xiong Mu was not idle, but the environment in which he was located was destined to not keep up with the pace of Tian Hongyi's southern and northern wars.

At the same time as the great division of the country, Xiong Mu is also quietly changing, and now the Northern Qi is a monopoly, but the Southern Chu is no longer the original Southern Chu, although the current Southern Chu Imperial Court is strictly speaking, only the actual control area of Jiangnan County and a county, and the rest of the places are just paying some taxes, but the current Southern Chu Imperial Court, there is only one voice inside.

Although Xiong Mu's decree still can't get out of Jiangnan County, at least compared to the previous kings of the Southern Chu court, Xiong Mu's control over the Southern Chu court has reached an unprecedented level. Although the previous kings were nominally the Son of Heaven north of the Nulong River, who would dare to say that they really held all the land of Southern Chu in their own hands?

And Xiong Mu sealed off all his own rivers and mountains, but it was just to remove the last layer of fig leaf from Southern Chu, and the various forces in the rivers and lakes reciprocated with peach, and the taxes were only a lot more than before, speaking of which, the Southern Chu court just lost face and gained lining.

After all, since the founding of the Southern Chu Imperial Court, the control over the local forces that are not lost is weak, and later by Xiong Mu's Laozi, basically has no influence, Xiong Mu's division of the country seems to be a loser under the strong pressure of Tian Hongyi, how can it not be a strong man who breaks his wrist and scrapes his bones to cure poison?

After the Southern Chu court was twisted into an iron plate, compared with the previous generations of monarchs, the power in Xiong Mu's hands has reached its peak, otherwise, like before, the emperor of Southern Chu is called the Son of Heaven, but in fact he is just a puppet of an interest group.

Although the territory controlled by Xiong Mu is now much smaller than that of the previous Southern Chu emperors, it is not the same as the degree of control over the territory he actually controls.

However, even if Xiong Mu worked hard to rule, he already had some considerable strength in his hands and got rid of the fate of the Southern Chu Emperor who had always been a puppet, but compared with Tian Hongyi, who was eloquent in the north and fought in the east and west, it was naturally a heaven and an underground.

And at the beginning, Xiong Mu just ascended the throne not long ago, a major event happened in the court, that is, when Xiong Mu was the king of Zhao, he was quite affectionate and his wife died in childbirth, although the child was saved in the end, but Xiong Mu was still a little difficult to accept, it is rumored that it is precisely for this reason that Xiong Mu has been very indifferent to his only heir, Xiong Biao, basically put it in the East Palace and ignore it.
