So, who has more power in the hands of both sides?
First, let's take a look at Grandpa Eight's party. Eight lords, nine lords and ten lords have no power, but they have mastered the military power of Fengtai camp outside the city, because the highest military officer of Fengtai camp was written by the eight lords party.
In addition, Yin Gui, the 14th master, brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to counter-insurgency in the northwest. Although the sky is high and the road is far, it is also a great threat.
Then come to see grandpa four. The fourth master, Yin Zhen, has no military power, but he has an important prop, which is to prevent the imperial envoys from being blocked. Considering that Kangxi was in a coma, he couldn't use the seal any more, and the imperial court's official seal protection was very important at least in the evening party, so Yin Zhen handed it over to Wu Sidao, and they agreed that if there was no news of Shenshi, wu si Dao would take the protection of the imperial court's official seal protection to rescue Thirteen Ye Huang Hongfa.
In addition, although the thirteenth master Huang Tianjun was imprisoned in Zongren House, he had great background and prestige in the army. For example, he has many old men in Fengtai camp, and he can respond to all the calls.
In addition to the Eight Ye Party and the Four Ye Party, there are also some forces outside these two camps.
The first one is Zhang. Zhang followed Kangxi for many years. At the last moment of Kangxi's life, he almost participated in Kangxi's planning of his funeral. It can be said that when Kangxi died, Zhang was actually the embodiment of Kangxi, and everything he did was to implement Kangxi's will.
The second one is Roncodo. Although Kangxi subdued Long Keduo before he died, he was not actually Kangxi's man. He belongs to the Tong family. In fact, we can regard Longkodo as a Tong family force participating in the struggle for the throne. From the beginning of Tong Guowei, the Tong family has been pursuing a political fence-riding. In the face of Jiuzi's fierce power grab, Tong Guowei burned two furnaces with great sincerity and sent Long Keduo to the power center, which can be described as well-intentioned. Longkeduo inherited Tong Guowei, continued to engage in fence-riding, and made no comments on Grandpa Eight and Grandpa Four. Confronted with Kangxi's threats and inducements, Longkodo was naturally grateful and promised well, but actually he didn't fully listen. He's just sitting tight, ready to defect.
To sum up, on the night of Kangxi's death, the people with greater power were Cheng, Huang Hongfa, Zhang and Longkeduo.
In contrast, although Huang Hongfa can incite the military power of Fengtai Camp, he is still in jail. Although Yin Zhen has imperial officers to defend the national seal, they have no military power in their hands; Although Zhang Yuting can carry out the will of Kangxi, she has no military power; Although Cheng had the largest number of troops, his military power was entrusted by the imperial court and commanded by eight lords, so his freedom was very limited.
Only Longkeduo, who served as the Nine Magistrates, is the only one who can wrestle with Fengtai Camp, and he represents the interests of the children's family and is not dominated by other forces. Therefore, the power of Long Keduo is not the greatest, but it is definitely the most terrible.
