Chapter 614 Purge
Since ancient times, the formation of factions and factions is unavoidable in any dynasty.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there will be struggles.
If there is a fight, there will be enemies and friends, and Yucheng, a place where the interests and power of the world are concentrated, is more cruel than the struggle anywhere in the world.
These powerful ones can influence the emperor's governance and affect the situation in the world, and the small ones can huddle together to keep warm, so that they will not be isolated and helpless.
These groups, large and small, representing various forces, caused a serious threat to the imperial power.
In this way, it is inevitable that the emperor will guess and be jealous.
The small influence is not big, and the emperor naturally does not care too much, but for those factions that have too much influence, what the emperor can do is to eradicate them and consolidate the imperial power.
Others can only compromise, but as we all know, the compromise of the emperor is often only temporary, and cannot last long.
After all, the emperor has no room for sand in his eyes, and they will not allow any faction that can affect his imperial power to exist.
Therefore, the existence of the Shangguan family has always become the heart disease of every new emperor of Dayu.
However, as time goes by, the Shangguan family will become the existence that every emperor relies on.
Especially the old emperors who are about to die, his trust in the Shangguan family can be said to be the same.
Almost every old emperor before his death, he would give the Shangguan family great rights to protect the smooth transition of imperial power.
The reason for this is simple.
Although the Shangguan family is powerful, they know how to behave better, and there will never be a voice to refute the emperor's orders on the surface.
will not be stupid enough to use the emperor's face to forge his own prestige, that is what traitors and powerful ministers can do.
The Shangguan family would never do such a stupid thing, and what the Shangguan family pursued from beginning to end was to listen to whoever was the emperor.
Regardless of whether the emperor is mediocre or wise, as long as the person surnamed Xuanyuan sits in the seat, the Shangguan family will listen to the person who sits in the seat.
In this way, in the face of the influence of the Shangguan family in the military and the life-and-death dependence of the Eight Great Governments, the successive emperors would not be ruthless to the Shangguan family.
Usually it is only suppressed in secret, and in the end, the suppression will gradually decrease.
Because whoever sits on the throne needs the support of the Shangguan family, the support of the military, and the support of the eight major governments.
A Shangguan family represents the three forces, coupled with the Shangguan family's support for imperial power, which makes any Dayu emperor in his right mind not make a stupid act of cutting off his arms.
Eliminate a Shangguan family, thus causing itself to lose a prestigious and obedient courtier.
At the same time, it indirectly caused chaos in the military forces, causing other hereditary princely families to give birth to rabbits and dead foxes, and estranged the royal family.
In this way, the emperor, who has lost the support of the military and the eight great families at the same time, how long can he sit in the seat?
Let's ask how such a royal family can be supported by all forces.
Therefore, it is precisely because of various concerns and the support of the Shangguan family for the royal family for generations.
As a result, even though the Shangguan family has deep influence in the military faction, the emperor also turns a blind eye to this.
After a few days of following his cheap grandfather to receive a group of generals in the army, Shangguan Qiuyu really saw the energy of Shangguan's family in Dayu's military.
More than half of the senior generals in the four major legions of Yucheng have direct contact with the Shangguan family, and they came empty-handed one by one and returned with a full load.
One by one, they don't know what politeness is, and their cheap grandfather is like a boss, paying salaries to all the generals who come.
This kind of behavior of buying people's hearts under the emperor's nose surprised Shangguan Qiuyu.
He had never seen a courtier bribe the hearts of his subordinates, and he did it so openly, which completely subverted Shangguan Qiuyu's original thinking.
However, for modern people's thinking, it has always been relatively quick to accept new affairs, so Shangguan Qiuyu was only initially surprised by this.
Immediately, after understanding that the Shangguan family's behavior of buying people's hearts has lasted for thousands of years.
In this way, it was still not uprooted by the royal family, which made Shangguan Qiuyu admire the ancestors of the Shangguan family, and at the same time, he also admired the endurance of the Dayu royal family.
This kind of gas is not something that ordinary people can have, and the royal family of Dayu can do this step, which is really unprecedented.
However, it is precisely because of the tolerance of the Dayu royal family that even if the eight families are strong, they have never given birth to the psychology of replacing the royal family.
From beginning to end, the Eight Great Families have always stood firmly behind the royal family, and have always stood together with the royal family to fight against all invading enemies.
Thus creating the towering Yu Dynasty for thousands of years.
Compared with the generals in the army, the people of the other seven major government mansions, and other officials and even the princes sent generous gifts.
The Shangguan family was not polite at all, they all took it one by one, one out and the other in, but the Shangguan family did not lose the slightest.
This battle in southern Xinjiang has brought the Zhenguo Mansion, which has been silent for many years, into people's attention again, and the momentum of a strong comeback is unstoppable.
Earlier, the Shangguan family had no heirs to inherit, so no matter how much merit the town and country government made, the Shangguan family inevitably lacked stamina.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
No matter how much kindness the Shangguan family has to those generals in the army, if there is no successor to the Shangguan family.
For the sake of their own and their families' survival, they naturally need to think carefully.
Now that Shangguan Qiuyu is back, they no longer have such and such worries.
Factional strife is always cruel, and there is no such thing as forgiving and forgiving.
Success or failure determines life and death, since they have been labeled as the Shangguan family and enjoyed the benefits brought to them by the Shangguan family, they can naturally only advance and retreat with the Shangguan family.
Therefore, Shangguan Qiuyu has been busy appeasing a group of generals in the army with his cheap grandfather during this time, and accepting the allegiance of a group of generals in the army.
In the past, Shangguan Xiong didn't think much about this issue.
Now, since he wants to pave the way for Shangguan Qiuyu, Shangguan Xiong naturally has to personally take charge of it.
At the same time, as soon as possible, we vigorously cleaned up those generals in the army who were not determined, and re-purged the generals of the entire Shangguan faction.
The intensity is terrifying, and the wide range of involvement is throughout the four major legions, and this year is not as good as imagined.
The generals in the army were powerless to compete with the Shangguanxiong of Zhenguo Gong, and there were no less than dozens of generals in the army who were killed by Shangguanxiong of Zhenguo Gong on the spot.
Even the family members behind him were washed away by the blood of the Shangguan family iron guard at the first time, and they really cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
This made Shangguan Qiuyu see his cheap grandfather for the first time, and when facing his own people, he also had a cold-blooded and cruel side.
