The Yang family has been one of the top wealthy families in the country for hundreds of years.
Those who can be invited into the main hall of the Yang family have extremely distinguished status.
Among these people are the princes of the current Holy Emperor.
Although the Li family and the Yang family have a deep hatred, the Li family is the common master of the world, and the Yang family is still an official in the country.
They have not raised a flag of rebellion for a day, and they still do things to save face.
There are also three prime ministers from the cabinet.
When the previous dynasty was in power, there was only one prime minister in the court.
At that time, the power of the prime minister was overwhelming, and he could hardly compete with the imperial power.
After Taizu Li Yun Long Ding settled the world, he felt that the power of the prime minister was too heavy and diluted the power of the emperor.
Therefore, except for the fact that the country was not stable at the beginning of the founding of the country, he had to appoint the prime minister to stabilize the government.
After the world was stabilized, Taizu He abolished the post of prime minister, established a cabinet, and changed the one-phase system into a poly-phase system, which greatly enhanced the imperial power.
The reason why the other two prime ministers did not arrive is because they are die-hard loyalists of the Li family.
They usually attack each other with the Yang family's disciples in the government and the public.
They have already formed a deep hatred with the Yang family, and they died under each other's schemes.
He has many children.
If it weren't for the Li royal family's support for them, the Yang family would have ruined their family long ago, and they would naturally not come here to seek disaster.
Among the other six ministers and ministers, all those who have no grudges against the Yang family are here today.
However, it is not they, but the military generals and aristocratic group who are most favored by the Yang family and who are really accompanied by the most important figures in the Yang family.
In the previous dynasty, there was a group of civil servants who controlled the government.
They deceived the king at the top and exploited the common people at the bottom.
After all, if a warrior was in charge of the country, they would do the same bad things.
But the most intolerable thing is that the civilian clique is still not satisfied after taking control of the government.
They actually extend their black hands to the military.
The previous dynasty won the country improperly because Taizu, his father-in-law, usurped the position of his son-in-law.
He had a lot of troops.
When he led the troops back to the dynasty after winning a battle, he was dressed in yellow robes by his subordinates.
Therefore, after winning the country, he had no honor.
The noble generals were especially afraid.
It was with the acquiescence of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong that the civil service group began to control the army.
They often deducted the army's food and salary, and arranged civilian officials as supervisors in the army to dictate military operations, which caused the previous dynasty to repeatedly fail in foreign wars. , and even used this to persecute many promising generals in the army, causing the status of military generals to decline repeatedly, and finally they could only be reduced to vassals of the civilian clique.
For hundreds of years in the previous dynasty, the barbarians outside the Central Plains had always suppressed the Central Dynasty.
The previous dynasty was forced to cede territory, pay indemnities, declare vassalage, make peace, and pay tribute.
They suffered all humiliation and finally retreated.
If you retreat, the country will perish.
In view of this, after Taizu Li Yun Long Ding established the world, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he laid stones as evidence and wrote a letter: "If you do not claim vassal status, do not pay tribute, do not cede territory, do not pay indemnity, and do not make peace with each other, future emperors who violate this will be punished."
Because I, the Li family, are unworthy of our descendants."
Since Taizu founded the country, although there have been six major aristocratic families in the country that have been entrenched for thousands of years, extending their tentacles to all walks of life, which is not conducive to the issuance of government orders, barbarians have been raging for many years.
Even if the six major aristocratic families survived, their vitality was severely damaged.
For their own interests , they also hope to maintain a peaceful situation in the country to cultivate their vitality.
The reason why Taizu was able to conquer the world in a short period of time was also closely related to their support.
The real big trouble for the country is still the surrounding barbarians.
Although the Mongolian and Yuan people who have been entrenched in the Central Plains for more than a hundred years were unable to defeat them under Taizu's raids and had to retreat to the northern grasslands, their strength still exists.
In each generation of these nomadic peoples, outstanding figures in the realm of great masters can emerge.
As a result, although the dynasty could easily defeat them when it was at its peak, it only dared to continuously weaken them, but could not really push them to the point of national subjugation and annihilation.
This is to prevent the great masters and masters on the prairie from jumping over the wall in a hurry and committing assassinations when their country is destroyed and their family is destroyed, causing chaos in the Central Plains.

Although the dynasty also has masters in the realm of great masters who are not afraid of their assassination of the emperor, officials and generals in the army and counties all over the world cannot escape unless they are protected by thousands of troops and horses and never go out.
The murderous intent of the Grand Master.
However, the country does not have that many troops to protect these officials.
Only the chief officials at the state level are eligible to enjoy this kind of treatment.
These people are protected and have little effect on the overall situation.
A great master is determined to carry out an assassination, which is enough to paralyze the central court.
Although the nomadic peoples on the grassland no longer regard themselves as a country in order to avoid irritating the Chu Dynasty too much, and each generation of great khans also declares vassalage to the Chu State, but every year the grassland peoples will cut off the border to enter the country, and carry out the so-called "grazing valley" operation to rob Women and property.
They are like centipede insects, dead but not stiff, always putting great pressure on the Central Plains.
When the Central Plains dynasty could not exterminate it, it could only deploy heavy troops on the border to prevent it.
It was under this circumstance that from Taizu onwards, although there were many suspicions and wariness of the noble generals leading the army, the status of the general group has never been lowered since the founding of the country.
In recent decades, as the nobility and scholar-bureaucrats have annexed more and more land, the lives of the people have become more and more difficult.
In addition, the country's long-standing abuses have become increasingly serious, and various types of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have emerged in an endless stream.
Many civilians have been forced to sell their children and daughters due to natural disasters. , Living in other places, small-scale peasant uprisings have even broken out in some places, and the world has become chaotic.
Therefore, the status of military generals rose instead of falling.
Faced with the troubled times that could have been prevented, many noble families increased their investment in their direct lineage in the army and spared no effort to win over the leading generals.
The Chu system was divided into the imperial army, the government army, and the border army.
The so-called frontier army, as the name suggests, is responsible for guarding the frontier.
Some of the generals are held by nobles with titles, while some have no titles and are considered rising stars in the army.
It is impossible for these people to come to Yang Mansion today due to their responsibilities.
The government army is a local army, responsible for guarding the local area.
The country has a total of sixteen guards on the left and right, four of which are responsible for guarding the capital and the capital.
The leading generals of these four guards have arrived today.
With the help of the government army and border army, Chu State can actually guard the world and resist foreign humiliation.
It's just that in today's world, aristocratic families are very powerful.
Two hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, after the infiltration of the aristocratic families, today's world can be said to be ruled by the royal family Li and other aristocratic families.
The border army and the government army have also been infiltrated.
The Li family Naturally, they are very wary of other families, and the Forbidden Army is set up for this purpose.
The emperor selected young men from good families in the Gyeonggi region to join the army, trained them with the best officers, provided them with the best food and weapons, and gave them generous military pay.
After forming the army, they often went to the frontiers to fight against the enemy, thus practicing Two world-shaking legions emerged.
They are the Shenwu Legion and the Shence Legion, two of the four main legions of the country.
The leading commanders of these two legions were die-hard loyalists of the Li Dynasty, but they had no personal enmity with the Yang family and had also come today
