After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che dismissed dozens of officials, big and small, in the central court and replaced them all with his own people.

Officials who originally governed according to the ways of Huang and Lao were suppressed one after another, and Confucian ideas of governing the world quickly reared their heads in the court.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, eliminated most of the power of the Dou family in the court, he immediately formulated a series of decrees aimed at restoring the production and life of the people in border counties.

"..."

At first glance, since the death of the Empress Dowager Dou Yingfang, the royalist faction has become the largest faction in the court, and the court situation should become stable.

But the struggle in the DPRK will not stop after all. After killing the foreign enemies, internal fighting will begin.

Specifically, the group of people who helped Liu Che ascend to the throne began to engage in internal fighting with Liu Che himself.

The empress dowager Wang Nan, uncle Tian Fen, the eldest princess Liu Piao and others began to rely on the merit of following the dragon and became domineering.

Especially Tian Fen, he doesn't understand the real reason why he can become the prime minister. It's not that he is better than other civil and military officials...

But because his nephew Liu Che stood on his side.

As for Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the reason why he chose Tian Fen was not because he was very strong, or because he was his uncle.

On the contrary, it was precisely because Tian Fen's threat to Emperor Liu Che of Han Dynasty was relatively small.

Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che made him the prime minister.

But the stupid Tian Fen didn't understand this.

He thought that he could become the prime minister because of his sister, the Queen Mother Wang Nuan, and his own abilities.

Therefore, after taking the position of prime minister, Tian Fen began to become more and more arrogant.

He took bribes, squeezed out any other officials who disobeyed him, and even dared to challenge the authority of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Later, Tian Fen even dared to secretly withhold memorials that were detrimental to him under Liu Che's nose.

The promotion of officials and the execution of prisoners were all decided by themselves, with no intention of reporting to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che.

"..."

What is puzzling is that Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, who had a strong desire for power, did not immediately take action against Tian Fen's following crimes.

This is a very unusual situation.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had always been a man who could not tolerate sand in his eyes.

He succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen and grew up surrounded by the hostility of many scheming heroes.

How could a person with this kind of personality let someone do something small under his nose...

This abnormal behavior of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che can only mean one thing, that is, it is a conspiracy.

Whether you are trying to catch or kill, in short, if you want to get something, you must give it to you first.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, was willing to endure his uncle Tian Fen's arbitrary power and let this clown perform to his heart's content on stage for many years. He must have had his own purpose.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was the only emperor in the history, and whose name was Wu Ding Temple, was not really his uncle Tian Fen that he wanted to deal with.

What he wanted to destroy was his mother, Wang Dan, and the system behind her that had existed since the founding of the Han Empire.

The power of the Queen Mother has always been considerable in the Han Dynasty.

This privilege was inherited from Empress Lu, the wife of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Empire.

In the Han Dynasty, the Queen Mother was the emperor's mother. As the emperor's biological mother, the Queen Mother naturally had great power.

When the Queen Mother is ambitious and chooses to interfere in politics, the power in the hands of the Emperor will inevitably be affected.

Especially when the emperor was young, the queen mother had so much power that she could even depose the emperor.

Even if the emperor reaches the age to run the court, if the queen mother does not want to delegate power, the emperor still has to obey the queen mother's words and be manipulated by the queen mother.

"..."

Ever since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, became the emperor, he had always felt that the system of the Queen Mother's intervention in politics was too restrictive of the emperor's power.

This has a lot to do with his personal experience.

After all, neither his grandmother Dou Yifang nor his mother Wang Quan was a good person.

However, this system has a history in Han Dynasty for many years.

Both the ministers in the court and ordinary people believed that it was essential to maintain the rights of the Queen Mother.

If you want to abolish this system, you must have a very sufficient reason to obey.

And like his uncle Tian Fen, the arbitrary behavior of a talented but ungrateful person and the connivance of his mother Wang Nuan can provide him with an excuse.

Liu Che was watching quietly, waiting for things to ferment and for the harvest opportunity to arrive.

On Tian Fen's side, he also felt something was not good.

Although Tian Fen is a villain, he is not stupid.

To have talent without virtue, you must first have talent.

As his behavior went out of line step by step, Tian Fen became more and more afraid of his nephew Liu Che.

"..."

However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che made no move, which gave him an ominous premonition.

As someone who watched Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, grow up with his own eyes, Tian Fen knew Liu Che relatively well.

His nephew is a ruthless person.

When he does something, he either doesn't do it or does it absolutely. He can be described as a complete hero!

However, Tian Fen was reluctant to let him put down his power without any reason.

"..."

Is there any poison in this world that can overcome the poison of power?

When a person gets used to the supreme authority and privilege that a high position brings to him...

He couldn't bear the pain of losing them anymore.

The power of life, death and plunder not only brings people a sense of supreme satisfaction, but also fascinates people's eyes.

"..."

This way!

After thinking for a long time, Tian Fen came up with an excellent countermeasure, which was to pull people into the water.

In his opinion, if he wants to avoid being liquidated by his eldest nephew, he must ensure that there are people with enough weight to stand on the same side as him and form an alliance.

As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone, you Liu Che can't catch everyone in one go.

Just do what you say, and you are talking about people like Tian Fen.

Soon, a large number of people stood behind Tian Fen.

"..."

As for Tian Fen's method of winning allies, it is also relatively simple.

As the head of a hundred officials, Tian Fen holds a lot of power in his hands.

Whether it's granting an official or making a wish, or betraying the court's interests, these methods can bring him many allies.

And his strongest allies are the kings of Huainan, Hengshan, Jiangdu, etc., who control local military power.

Even Tian Fen also attracted some allies on the Huns side.

"..."

All in all, after the death of Empress Dowager Dou Yifang, a new round of power struggle began again.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, faced off against the group of people who helped him ascend to the throne.

"..."

The official ecology of the Han Dynasty has always been very complicated.
