After eradicating the party of Dai Yun and Qian Hongyou, Qian Hongzuo ascended the throne and granted amnesty and rewards as usual. However, a mutiny almost broke out in the army, and some people took the lead in threatening that rewards would be uneven and "the troops would fight without success." Qian Hongzuo ushered in the second test: the army refused to accept it.

The person who helped him solve this problem was the "Prince Regent" - Prime Minister Cao Zhongda. Cao Zhongda informed the soldiers with reason and emotion, and finally suppressed the matter.

In July 942, Zhang De'an and Li Wenqing were appointed as the left and right supervisors of the inner yamen. Some data record that it is "Shangdu Prison". In fact, it is because "Zuo" wanted to avoid Qian Hongzuo's taboo, so all "Zuo" in official positions, names, etc. were changed to "Shang"; in October, Kanfan and Hu Jinsi were appointed as The inner yamen commanded the military envoys from the left and right. These are the "Four Heavenly Kings" who control the real power of Wuyue Kingdom.

In July 1943, Zhang De'an and Li Wenqing were demoted and released at the same time.

Zhang De'an, the Minister of Gu Ming, acted decisively and immediately eliminated Dai Yun and Qian Hongyou's party, paving the way for Qian Hongzuo. However, in less than two years, he was first divided in power, and then demoted and sent away. . Historical records say that because Qian Hongzuo was young, the generals were dissatisfied and arrogant and uncontrollable; some said that Zhang De'an took credit for his pride and offended the public; some said that Kan Fan rejected dissenters...

In short, for Qian Hongzuo, a 14 or 15-year-old junior high school student, this question is indeed a bit beyond the scope. Who can Qian Hongzuo rely on? The intangible cultural heritage of the previous dynasty—prime ministers Cao Zhongda, Pi Guangye, and Lin Ding? Coincidentally, Pi Guangye died of illness in February 943, Cao Zhongda died of illness in November 943, and Lin Ding died of illness in the first month of 944. Within one year, everything was reimbursed.

A handful of elders and important ministers passed away one after another. It is conceivable that Wuyue Kingdom will fall into greater internal disputes, and Qian Hongzuo will definitely not be able to resolve them properly. So, there will be another good show in the center of power.

In November 945, Du Zhaoda, the governor of the inner government, and Kan Fan, the envoy to the left army of the inner government, were killed. Sun Benci died, and Qian Renjun, the commander of the inner government, was demoted.

Pay attention to Du Zhaoda's official position. He obviously came to replace Zhang De'an, while Kan Fan was the first person to exclude Zhang De'an, and Qian Hongyou was the first person to be sacrificed by Zhang De'an. Everything seems to be inextricably related to Zhang De'an. Was it Zhang De'an who came back with a counterattack?

No, the water in Wuyue Kingdom is very deep. This is the 2.0 expansion pack of Game of Thrones during the Qian Hongzuo era——.

The reason why Du Zhaoda rose to prominence was because he was a "relative of the emperor". His aunt was Qian Yuanguan's Mrs. Du, and his other aunt was married to Qian Yuanqu, Qian Renjun's biological mother. In other words, two sisters from the Du family married two brothers, Qian Yuanguan and Qian Yuanqu respectively. Why could the Du family catch up with the Qian family? Because Du Zhaoda's grandfather is Du Jianhui, and his great-grandfather is Du Leng, a veteran of the Qian Group. This is the origin of Du Zhaoda's life experience.

Du Zhaoda and Kan Fan were both greedy for money. Cheng Zhaoyue, the richest man in Hangzhou, bribed the two of them heavily, and the officials and businessmen colluded to get what they needed. Soon, with the blessing of Qian's ability, Cheng Zhaoyue was close to Qian Hongzuo. This made Kan Fan realize that raising tigers was a danger, so he deliberately weakened Cheng Zhaoyue.

Cheng Zhaoyue has the flexibility of a businessman, but to put it bluntly, he is shameless and shameless. On the one hand, he visited Kan Fan at his door and kowtowed to him face to face to apologize and ask for forgiveness; on the other hand, he cultivated relationships and tried to find ways to get rid of Kan Fan.

Kanfan was then the envoy to the left commanding force of Neiya, and the envoy to the right commanding force of Neiya was named Hu Jinsi. Cheng Zhaoyue took Hu Jinsi as a breakthrough point.

Cheng Zhaoyue secretly found Hu Jinsi and said that he could make him "descend overtly and secretly promote", transfer him from the central imperial army to the local area, and become a local vassal town with real power. Hu Jinsi readily agreed.

Therefore, under Cheng Zhaoyue's management, Kan Fan and Hu Jinsi were appointed governor of Mingzhou and governor of Huzhou respectively.

Kan Fan heard a bolt from the blue and hurriedly found Hu Jinsi, "If something goes wrong, we will be released. This is the plan to kill us! Who is behind us?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Jinsi was still immersed in joy and said to Kan Fan with a smile: "It's a good thing that a veteran has a big state and smoke is rising from his ancestral graves! This is the good deeds of our ancestors, so you can enjoy it secretly."

Kan Fan almost got angry and said, "I sold you and you still help me count the money, you are a pig!"

Before the two men left, the superiors retained Hu Jinsi on the grounds of work handover and continued to serve as the commander of the army. At the same time, the newspaper headline read: "Qian Renjun conspired to rebel."

Qian Renjun is Qian Hongzuo's cousin, and his father is Qian Yuanqu, the eighth son of Qian Liu. At the beginning of Qian Yuanguan's accession to the throne, the generals forced the palace and demanded the execution of the powerful ministers Lu Renzhang and Liu Renqi. Qian Yuanguan ordered Qian Renjun to issue an edict, and Qian Renjun successfully persuaded the generals to retreat; and in the "Qian Yuan rebellion case", Qian When Yuan Guan wanted to wipe out the counterrevolutionary group, Qian Renjun came forward to dissuade him, and finally asked Qian Yuan Guan to pay tribute to Cao Cao and burn all the captured letters.

In terms of bloodline, Qian Renjun is also a descendant of Qian Liu, and theoretically has the right to inherit; in terms of age, he is older than Qian Hongzuo; in terms of qualifications, he came to prominence twice during the reign of Qian Yuanguan and enjoyed a certain prestige among civil and military officials; in terms of power, , Qian Renjun was the commander-in-chief of the internal and external cavalry and infantry armies at that time, and had certain military power; in terms of personal connections, his biological mother was the aunt of Du Zhaoda, the governor of the inner government... Even if this kind of person does not rebel, he still needs to be rebelled.

Therefore, Cheng Zhaoyue used Qian Renjun as an entry point and family ties as a bond to frame Du Zhaoda and Kan Fan for plotting to assassinate Qian Renjun.

The governor of the inner yamen colluded with the commander of the inner yamen and the commander of the inner and outer cavalry and infantry forces... It is equivalent to the joint commander of the guards and the commander of the cavalry and infantry forces in front of the palace and the governor in front of the palace. ? What's more, Chen Qiao's mutiny or the usurpation of power by generals with different surnames. Wouldn't it be smoother if Zhao Kuangyin was Chai Rong's son or nephew?

As a result, the previous judgment was reached. The case of "plotting to frame Qian Renjun" was nipped in the bud, Du Zhaoda and Kanfan were killed, Qian Renjun was placed under house arrest, and even Qian Hong was involved in the case of "plotting to frame Qian Hongyou". Youdu was shot to death to avoid future troubles.

Qian Renjun was convicted and placed under house arrest. Cheng Zhaoyue was still dissatisfied and secretly captured Qian Renjun's aide Shen Wenqi. He used hard and soft tactics on him and asked him to testify against Qian Renjun's rebellion. Cheng Zhaoyue tortured Shen Wenqi severely and used all the tortures he could think of. Shen Wenqi refused to bow his head and insisted that Qian Renjun was innocent.

After removing Du Zhaoda and Kan Fan, Cheng Zhaoyue unsurprisingly expanded the struggle and launched a purge unscrupulously. Anyone who disliked him was framed as "Qian Renjun's party members" and either killed or exiled. There were more than a hundred people, which made everyone feel in danger. All civil and military officials did not dare to look at Cheng Zhaoyue for fear of causing death.

Only the stupid Hu Jinsi, "a man of few words, Zhao Yue thought he was stupid and was exempted." Hu Jinsi was so stupid that Cheng Zhaoyue thought that this stupid person would not pose a threat to him, so he let him go. Looking back now, is Hu Jinsi really stupid? He is really smart!

The water in Wu Yue Kingdom is very deep. Like Du Zhaoda who was just killed, there are many revolutionaries of the third and fourth generations with good roots. Their grandfathers followed Qian Liu to conquer the world, and through marriage and other means, they joined forces with The core power circle of the group is deeply bound, and the relationship with the Qian family is complicated.

Cheng Zhaoyue, on the other hand, is a typical political upstart, but he launched a bloody purge of entrenched interest groups. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. It is not that they are not afraid of tigers, but they do not know tigers. If nothing else, he will have an accident soon.

Less than a year later, in October 1946, the unexpected happened.
