Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1185 Xuan Jia is watching from across the river, and Jiang Zuo is watching the flowers.

The Jiangzuo court has been in chaos for the past three years. Recently, the threat from the North has forced all forces in Jiangzuo to unite. This can be regarded as a slight breath of relief.

The root of all this is actually Wang Dun's entry into Jing and the little emperor from Guanzhong coming east.

Wang Dun's entry into Jingzhou actually split the political and military forces of Jiangzuo. Moreover, he was not satisfied with the status quo. He wanted to rely on his foundation in Jingzhou to advance eastward and control the de facto government affairs.

However, at this point, there seems to be a conflict between Wang Dun and the Langya Wang clan. At least in the court, Director Wang is the leading figure who strives to maintain the authority of Langya King, and even leads the weakening of Wang Dun overtly and covertly. .

As a result, the conflict between the imperial court and Wang Dun became more and more intensified. Although the two sides were still united on the surface, many people within the imperial court knew that it was only a matter of time before Wang Dun rebelled and invaded the country.

An important reference here is actually Chen Zhi's article.

Moreover, with the destruction of Zhao and Guanzhong, and the near unification of the North, Chen Zhi's original article became popular again in Jiangzuo in the south, mixed with the views and opinions of many Chen scholars, and set off a momentum in the south. The massive study and criticism movement played a great role in the development and consolidation of Chen Xue in the South.

Even Wang Dun of Jingzhou had to think about this matter. He called in several famous Chen scholars in Jingzhou and asked them to analyze the situation, judge the situation, and whether to mobilize troops for peace at this time when the North was in chaos.

You must know that since Wang Dun established his foothold in Jingzhou, he was not only eyeing Jiangzuo in the east. The Sizhou territory occupied by Zhao in the north and Shu in the west were also coveted by him, and he successively sent troops to conquer the west and the north.

However, the road to Shu was not easy. There were many difficulties in the Western Expedition, but the Northern Expedition was relatively smooth. After the people in the North fell into the hands of Zhao, they lived in poverty and were oppressed. In fact, they were looking forward to the victory of the Han Dynasty. The family can be beaten back and let them return to their old days.

Therefore, when Wang Dun's soldiers and horses went north, no matter whether it was Wubao or villages and towns along the way, they all tried their best to help each other, and the entry was smooth.

However, the purpose of Wang Dun's Northern Expedition was not to regain the old territory, but to consolidate his power, obtain political capital and the halo bonus of the Northern Expedition. Therefore, after a slight improvement, he was worried that it would attract the attention of the Shi family and concentrated all his strength on the counterattack. , weakened his own strength, and at the same time lost the reputation of regaining the lost territory, so he stopped his troops and stopped advancing northward.

At the same time, in order to enhance his strength and prevent future troubles, he ordered to relocate the people and their entire families in the northern land that he conquered, especially the young men and young men, and many people were forced to join the army. It can be said that it was a stone's throw. The ripples caused many people who had originally harbored illusions to be completely disappointed and despaired. Many Wubao owners also saw through Wang Dun's true face and began to resist.

Therefore, Wang Dun's Northern Expedition only looked good on the surface, but secretly it was consuming his strength and dragging down his troops. For a while, Wang Dun was unable to find time to march eastward for health and threaten the court.

On the other hand, with the defeat of the Guanzhong court, the prince who originally ascended the throne in Guanzhong fled all the way from Guanzhong with the help of Zhang, and finally arrived in Jiangzuo, which caused many disturbances.

If Wang Dun was a military threat within the Jiangzuo court, then this little emperor was a major political challenge to the Jiangzuo court.

Because according to the orthodox view, although the prince is still young, he is the eldest son of the late emperor and the legitimate heir. Even if there are flaws in the inheritance process, there is no doubt about it legally.His arrival immediately embarrassed the status of King Langya, who had been pushed to the forefront, because until now, King Langya still maintained the title of king and did not go further. He just did not recognize the emperor established in Guanzhong and still Follow the reign name of the late emperor.

In the past, the little emperor of Guanzhong was far away, and represented the interests of the nobles in the north, and was in the hands of the two kings. Therefore, in accordance with the pattern of "taking the emperor to order the princes", the decrees and policies issued were all harmful to the four sides. Guanzhong actually threatened and harmed the interests of the Jiangzuo gentry, so they immediately launched King Langya and established the Jiangzuo court to fight against it.

But now that the power of the three kings has collapsed, their people have become prisoners and been sent to Youzhou, but the little emperor has come all the way to the door. He is obviously a good puppet. How can the Jiangnan family let him go?

You must know that although King Langya represented Jiang Zuo's interests, the ones who were really close were the northern gentry, the representatives of those gentry who went south with him, which was actually at a disadvantage for the southern aristocratic family.

The contradiction between the two sides has long been revealed, but because the southern gentry had no better choice, they chose to endure and slowly cooperate with the restructuring of the Langya Palace.

Now that a little emperor from Guanzhong has arrived, the situation is of course different. Immediately, a group of people came up with orthodox rhetoric and wanted to serve this emperor.

Under such circumstances, how could King Langya's power group allow them to succeed?
A political struggle will inevitably begin between the two sides.

On the one hand, there are local forces, and on the other hand, there are factions with real power.

As the native southern nobles, they have many advantages, but the Langya King faction that went south also has the reputation of Youzhou in the north. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the struggle lasted for three years, until recently, it finally became clear. situation——

Wang Dun actually showed his support for King Langya and issued words of encouragement to advance.

In this way, the Jiangzuo nobles had to give in. After all, Youzhou Xuanjia was powerful and their reputation could be intimidating, but Wang Dun's soldiers and horses were in the hinterland of Jiangzuo. It seemed that he was holding a knife at all times. The abdomen of the Jiangzuo nobles was stabbed directly through the abdomen. Who dares to challenge?
Therefore, in this weird atmosphere, the coronation ceremony of King Langya was actually planned in such a grand way. It was planned to be enthroned in October and change the title of the next year. Now, it only takes less than two months. .

But there is still one biggest problem that remains unresolved——

"That's how the champion views this matter!"

Director Wang took advantage of the fact that there was enough news about the Northland recently, so he simply raised this issue.

"There is an undercurrent in Jiangzuo right now, and there are still many people who have not given up and are thinking of making another move during the ceremony. But if the champion recognizes your status, then everything is truly foolproof! Now the invincible Xuanjia Chen Bing Dajiang On the other side, those aristocratic families in Jiangzuo should know how powerful they are!"
