With the conclusion of the Prince of Louyang and Mo Yu's marriage, the people of the capital began to cast their gazes towards another marriage.
At present the Imperial Court could be considered as being divided into two factions. The old ministers represented by Eunuch Lin naturally could be considered part of the young emperor's group, and now, Mo Yu and the Prince of Louyang added to their number. Meanwhile, the Prince of Xiang, the Prince of Zhongshan, the other Chen princes, and the generals personally taught by Chen Guansong represented the other faction. The Tianhai clan, on the other hand, continued to waver between the factions. With the death of the Divine Empress, the Tianhai clan had naturally come under extreme pressure, but as a clan that had influenced the Imperial Court for two centuries, it still had resources and strength to pull. No one could disregard its existence.
