However, not everyone is willing to see Ming Yingzong change his mind. Just when Ming Yingzong drastically corrected the past malpractices in governance, those careerists who had made great contributions in the change of seizing the door broke up.
Historically, the status of civilian officials and military generals has never been equal. Especially in dynasties like the Song and Ming dynasties with huge civil and official groups, military generals could not be decision-makers at all. And if a country wants to rest with its people, it will inevitably reduce wars. There is no battle to fight, and a general like Shi Heng, who was born as a pure martial artist, naturally has nothing to do. As a result, Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng, two former allies, are now turning against each other because of the uneven distribution of power.
This history seems to be a drama full of irony and contradictions, in which the characters are all fighting for their own interests while ignoring the real national interest. And Ming Yingzong skillfully took advantage of this, and finally succeeded in regaining his supreme imperial power by dividing and disintegrating.
First of all, Ming Yingzong successfully demoted him to the outside world through Xu Youzhen's frame, and Xu Youzhen became the character Ming Yingzong wanted to see. His demotion not only improved the image of Ming Yingzong, but also made the entire court full of confidence and expectations for the restoration of Ming Yingzong.
Then, Ming Yingzong promoted Peng Shi, Nian Fu, Wang Ao and others, relying on the power of the emerging civil official group to gradually divide Cao and Shi. In the process, Ming Yingzong showed his wisdom and decisiveness, he not only knew how to use the power in his hands, but also knew how to divide and disintegrate his opponents.
And in this process, the characters of Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng became the object of satire. They turned against each other because of the uneven distribution of power, but they competed for favor in front of Ming Yingzong, and even did not hesitate to use their connections and influence to frame others. Their behavior makes people feel ridiculous and pathetic, but it is precisely this irony and ridiculousness that makes people more deeply aware of the true meaning and danger of power.
In the end, Ming Yingzong succeeded in dividing Cao and Shi and regaining his own supreme imperial power. This process is full of irony and contradictions, but it is precisely this irony and contradiction that makes people more deeply aware of the true face of history and the weaknesses in human nature.
In this story, we see the game of thrones, the weakness of human nature, the irony of history, and the wisdom of conspiracy. This is a historical drama full of irony and contradictions, but it also truly reflects the essence of human nature and the true meaning of history. And this is exactly the lesson we have to learn from this: while pursuing personal interests, do not forget the real national interests and the well-being of the people. Otherwise, no matter what era we are in, we may fall into the predicament of Cao and Shi.
