Dong Xian has now become extremely violent and irritable, and his favorite thing is to kill people!

This is a horrifying hobby.

Dong Xian was not like this a year ago.

At that time, Master Dong was approachable, courteous, and well-respected in the court.

When the Gao family wanted to seek the country, Dong Xian fled to Weichu Mansion. It was precisely because he was still very popular in Weichu Mansion that he was able to gather a considerable number of people to fight against Gao Yingde in Weichu Mansion.

At that time, Dong Xian's family was ruined, and all his direct descendants in Shanchan Mansion were slaughtered by the Gao family. Although he was sad, Dong Xian was still a leader who could listen to advice.

The death of Gao Yingde caused an unprecedented surge in anti-Gao forces, and also caused Dong Xian's strength to rise rapidly.

Under his leadership, Shanchan Mansion was captured.

In turn, the Gao family was completely killed by him, except for one Gao Yingxiang.

Dong Xian, who returned to Shanchan Mansion, suddenly gained unparalleled prestige.

Especially under his leadership, Dong Xian's strength reached its peak after the coalition forces defeated Gao Yingxiang, who returned with an aggressive army.

Duan Tiande, a branch of the Duan family, was re-established as emperor. Duan Xing, who was only twelve years old at the time, was nothing more than a puppet sitting on the throne. All government affairs were handled by Dong Xian.

Originally, this was nothing. Just like when Duan Zhengxing was in power, all government affairs were handled by Gao Yingde. The emperor's role was just to say the correct sentence after Gao Yingde played a book, or it was a human-shaped seal.

, responsible for stamping a seal on Gao Yingde’s will.

In fact, this was also done by eunuchs.

The emperor just watched the whole process.

At that time, Dong Xian had nothing on the surface, but deep down he was extremely envious of Gao Yingde's power.

He also wants to have such a day.

Now, he has it.

However, the allies who helped overthrow the Gao family did not want to do this.

We have finally overthrown the Gao family who were pressing us hard. But you, the Dong family, want to take over from the Gao family. Do you also want to suppress us like this and prevent us from standing up?

This won't work.

Everyone does things together, so now the government naturally has to be managed by everyone.

The Dali court was originally modeled after the Song Dynasty, and also had a political hall and a privy council.

In the past, Gao Yingde was the chief assistant of the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Councilor, holding the military and political power in his hands.

Now Dong Xian also wants to do this, so naturally everyone disagrees.

You can only pick one.

Among the coalition forces, the one with the greatest power and the most contribution in the battle against Gao was the Mu clan of Tengchong Prefecture. The leader of the Mu clan, Mu Zheng, hoped to obtain one of the two.

The leaders of the other thirty or so tribes were naturally happy to see someone trying to balance Dong Xian, and they all agreed. It seemed that decentralization had become an inevitable trend.

But one rainy night, Dong Xian suddenly became angry.

He led an army of confidants to raid the Mu clan's army in Tengchong Prefecture. Mu Zheng was in a panic and escaped with only more than a hundred cavalry and confidants, but he did not dare to stay anymore and fled back to Tengchong.

This time, it actually frightened the other tribes.

Dong Xian was seized by the military and political affairs.

As for whether other departments are convinced or not, no one knows.

However, at this time, Dong Xian received strong support from Weichu Prefecture, Nongdong Prefecture, Shicheng County, and Xiushan County. Especially during the war of more than half a year, he tried every means to instigate the counterattack of the border troops, which became his biggest threat.

reliance.

Dong Xian became the powerful Prime Minister, and the other ministries and towns that contributed their efforts naturally received corresponding rewards. Anyway, this time the court had two major purges, and the number of officials was reduced to ten or seventy, and some of them had enough seats to satisfy everyone.

desire.

As long as your requirements are not excessive, everything can be met.

Guys who can't satisfy their desires can refer to Mu Zheng who ran away in embarrassment.

Dali seems to have returned to peace again.

But is it really peaceful?

Huichuan is still in the hands of Gao Yingxiang.

Gao Yingxiang still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands.

Gao Yingxiang is known as the number one general in Dali, not only because he was Gao Yingde's son, but also because this man did have unique military abilities.

It is not easy to deal with him.

Of course, in Dong Xian's eyes, no matter how outstanding Gao Yingxiang's abilities were, he was alone in Huichuan, with few soldiers and poor financial resources, so he was destined to be wiped out.

I am not busy trying to kill him, but I also want to use this common enemy to stabilize the imperial court first.

As long as Gao Yingxiang is still alive, most of the leaders of more than thirty tribes in Dali will undoubtedly stand on his side, because their knives were stained with blood when they entered Shanchan Mansion.

Even those who didn't want to be stained with blood had to be forced to do so in the end, and the knife was stained with the blood of the Gao family and the Sheng family. This was an intractable blood feud.

Even if Gao Yingxiang generously states that he will not pursue the case, people still have to believe him!

Gao Yingxiang is a cancer and needs to be solved next.

The second mutual tumor is naturally Mu Zheng who fled back.

The Mu clan, which controls Tengchong Mansion, is far away from the emperor. They were not convinced by Gao Yingde in the past, and they were even less convinced by Dong Xian. This time Mu Zheng made great efforts to overthrow the Gao clan's power, but

Dong Xian almost had his head taken away, so he was naturally very angry. After returning, he gathered his forces and announced that he would send troops to clear the emperor's side again and punish the traitors and rebellious people.

But for a while, not many people were willing to pay attention to him.

After all, Dong Xian was in the limelight at this time.

If Dong Xian doesn't care much about these things and thinks they can be solved, but now how to appease the world, how to get the people to return to their countryside and return to the previous track is not an easy task.

A year of melee has plunged the whole of Dali into flames of war.

Last year, spring plowing was basically wasted, and the result is that now, the whole country is in a food shortage.

There is no food in my hands, and my heart is panicked.

The war was destructive, the troops were broken into bandits, taxes were increased, officials were exploited, and countless people were destroyed and their families were destroyed.

You only need to stand on the city wall of Shanchan Mansion and take a look outside to see the dense number of simple shacks erected by the people fleeing the city, and you can understand the seriousness of the matter.

This is still in the capital, in Shanchan Mansion, the most prosperous place. The situation in other places is probably even worse.

It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to govern the world.

After actually sitting in this position and facing countless problems that came to him, Dong Xian suddenly realized that Gao Yingde, the prime minister, seemed not to be an easy person.

And now, it was his turn to have a headache.

If he was not in his position and did not pursue his political ambitions, he could still sneer at Gao Yingde in the court before, but now when it was his turn, he realized that some problems really could not be solved.

If others can do it, you can do it yourself.

After being in power for several months, Dong Xian suddenly realized a problem: Gao Yingde's ability to handle political affairs was really beyond his reach.

This realization made him extremely angry.

When one is unable to properly think of other effective ways to solve a problem, killing someone seems to be the simplest solution.

So Dong Xian sacrificed this sharp weapon, killing heads and making people panic.

Amidst the bloody light, the court became completely silent.

Dong Xian believed that he had taken control of the entire country, and the next step was to plan to eliminate Gao Yingxiang, the trouble in his heart.

It won't work this winter.

Next spring we must finish spring sowing first.

After sowing in spring, it is time to send out troops.

Wait until Gao Yingxiang is captured, and then go back and settle the score with Mu Zheng.

But as for Mu Zheng, it's best to discuss the matter.

After all, Tengchong has been managed for hundreds of years. If you really want to fight, the chances of winning are slim. Unlike overthrowing the Gao family, if you want to annihilate the Tengchong Mansion and the Thirty-Seven Divisions of Dali, not many people will support you.

In Dong Xian's view, Gao Yingxiang was at the end of his rope.

But what he never expected, or was unwilling to think about, was what Gao Yingxiang would do after he forced Gao Yingxiang to a dead end?

But when he was eager to seize power and suppress other governments and ministries, things had quietly changed.

Xiao Cheng has always looked down upon a person who was unwilling to look at the external situation while fighting for power at home.

If Dong Xian was not eager to integrate the internal forces but instead mustered up Yu Yong to pursue Gao Yingxiang at all costs, Xiao Cheng would still think highly of him.

Because if this was the case, Xiao Cheng would have to go into battle shirtless.

But a new problem will arise.
