He hadn't slept a wink for two days and two nights.
There is no way!
There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently.
Should King Zhao Liu Sui be killed or demoted?
How will the incident in Henan County end?
He also has to keep an eye on all the myriad things going on in the country and the country.
How can I not stare?
Just look at Henan County!
If he wasn't careful, the local officials would dare to kill people with open fire! And the people they killed were the prince's subordinates!
Let’s take a look at the princes and kings from various places!
These guys are honest now!
But what about the future?
God knows if these guys are secretly colluding with each other? What kind of conspiracy are they doing?
If you don't keep your eyes open, problems may arise at any time.
Therefore, in the past two days, he summoned Jiu Qing one after another and even sent people to Chang'an City to invite several elders from the late emperor's era who had already served in office to come to the palace for discussion.
The content of the discussion was, of course, the suppression of princes and kings and the strengthening of local supervision.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the two memorials before him right now.
This first letter is called: Please build a mausoleum to strengthen the foundation. It means that the main project of the mausoleum in Yiyang is almost ready. Your Majesty can consider moving in all the powerful and wealthy families in the world to realize Guanzhong.
After thinking for a while, he picked up a pen and wrote the word "ke" on it.
This was the purpose of the emperor of the Han Dynasty in building the mausoleum.
After thinking about it, he added: I will order the imperial censor to do it accordingly.
Obviously, he has completely lost confidence in Prime Minister Zhang Ou's ability to handle affairs.
However, this prime minister is just an eraser, a decoration, and a puppet that he found.
Therefore, this question is not important.
He moved this memorial away and continued to read the next one. This was something he had thought about for a long time and was the reason why he hadn't slept a wink in the past two days.
This memorial was written by Chao Cuo.
The name is very straightforward - please cut off the princes, kings and censors Zhongcheng.
Since Liu Bi's death, Chao Cuocuo has been the most popular one.
This imperial censor seemed not satisfied at all with his achievement of defeating Wu Chu.
He will continue to work hard and continue to cut down the vassal vassal. However, after experiencing a war, he seems to no longer directly mention cutting down land, but instead talking about cutting officials!
It is not only necessary to remove some of the official positions of princes and kings and no longer set them up, but also to take back power.
Directly lower the level of officials that princes and kings can appoint from two thousand dan to four hundred dan.
For those with more than 400 stones, Chang'an will appoint them all.
To be honest, this book is very good and the reasoning is very clear.
It turns out that the reason why Liu Bi dared to rebel was because he had too much power and the court could not control it. Therefore, in order to prevent the second rebel like Liu Bi from appearing again, he should take back his power, remove him from office, reduce the power of the princes and kings, and strengthen supervision.
However, as soon as his front foot hit Liu Bi, his back foot touched the prince's cheese. This made Liu Qi very hesitant.
Because of this, he struggled for two days and kept looking for people to discuss and discuss.
After Wu Chu's rebellion, Liu Qi became unwilling to cause trouble like Wu Chu's again.
What's more important is that Taiwei Zhou Yafu defeated Wu Chu with his troops.
If one or two princes and kings were forced to rebel again, wouldn't it be necessary for the Taiwei to go into battle?
If hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are placed in the hands of a minister with a different surname, will there be any problems over time?
Power comes from the barrel of a gun!
Although Liu Qi didn't know this, the Liu family's history of more than fifty years, with blood and life, told every emperor who sat on the throne that the barrel of a gun must be held in his own hands!
Otherwise, I might become the second Zhu Lu at any time!
Therefore, Wu Chu had just been pacified and the place had not yet been cleared. He could not wait to issue an edict, asking the general stationed in Xingyang, Dou Ying, to go to Wu under the banner of condolences and hold the Emperor's Day to visit and express condolences to the frontline soldiers. It was a meritorious service.
Minister'.
Thinking about these things, Liu Qi also felt a little tired.
So, he ordered the eunuch beside him to bring a bowl of ginseng soup.
During these two days, he relied on ginseng soup to survive.
In the past six hours, he drank at least four bowls of ginseng soup to refresh himself.
Not to mention, the effect is really good!
The eunuchs brought the ginseng soup. After Liu Qi drank it, he felt the fatigue disappeared and he could continue to read the memorials.
He continued to be busy in this way until late at night, and then, under the advice of a eunuch beside him, he reluctantly agreed to take a rest.
However, as soon as he stood up, he felt a little dizzy and almost fell.
"Hey, I'm getting older..." Liu Qi shook his head. If it were ten years ago, he could have survived even three days and three nights, let alone two days and two nights.
But now, even if I rely on ginseng soup, it doesn’t seem to be very effective.
The eunuchs around him were very clever. When they saw this situation, they quickly came up to help him.
But Liu Qi was naturally competitive and refused to admit defeat. He pushed away the eunuch who came to help him and said: "I am not old enough to need help!"
As if he wanted to show that he was still young and in the prime of life, and staying up late could not dampen his spirit, Liu Qi took long steps and walked down the steps.
According to the system, the steps under the imperial couch of Emperor Lao Tzu are fifty-five in total, in line with the artistic conception of the Han Dynasty advocating the number five.
Normally, Liu Qi would be walking as fast as flying.
However, at this moment, his energy and attention had become unprecedentedly scattered due to staying up late and repeatedly using ginseng soup to stimulate his energy.
Moreover, if you sit on your knees for too long, the blood vessels and nerves in your feet, as well as their reactions, become very slow.
The most important thing is that there is something wrong with his body.
He had fainted not long ago, and he had recovered from it. However, as soon as he recovered, he returned to his old ways, and even got worse!
In fact, before dealing with the memorial for two consecutive days and nights, he had just climbed out of the beds of three women...
The combination of these many reasons caused the emperor of the Han family, who had just defeated Wu Chu and was at the peak of his power, to miss the mark and fall from the imperial steps.
The eunuchs around him are all smart and quick-responsive people. The attendants and guards on the left and right are also elites carefully selected from thousands of people, and there are many warriors with strong skills.
But the incident happened suddenly, and the emperor had just pushed aside the eunuch who came to help him.
Unless these people are Ultraman, their reaction is either a little slow, or they are too far away and beyond their reach.
So, the dignified emperor of the Han Dynasty, the emperor who was rich all over the world and commanded billions of people, just rolled down the imperial steps in front of everyone. The emperor's crown on his head rolled to the ground first, and the beads scattered.
land.
When Liu Qi fell, he had only one thought in his mind: "It's over. I've become as stupid as King Wu of Qin..."
At that time, King Wu of Qin was so brave that he actually ran to lift the cauldron. He is still a negative example in the book.
Liu Qi felt that he would almost become a fool like King Wu of Qin, right?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
The last thing Liu Qi heard was the eunuch's heart-rending shouts. He felt like something was flowing out of his head. When he opened his eyes, he saw something bright red.
"It turns out it's my blood..." He sighed and then fell unconscious.
Less than a breath after the emperor fell down. Zhou Xun, the highest-ranking minister in the palace, immediately said: "Quick, Medical Officer Xuan, report to the Queen Mother, and ask someone to inform the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister, the Yushi doctor and the Zhonglang general.
The guard, Zhang Wuhou, immediately entered the palace and sent people to notify the guards of the northern and southern armies. He immediately raised martial law in the arsenal and sent people to blockade the Weiyang Palace..."
Zhou Xun was the eldest son of the late lieutenant Zhou She. Although his father did not get the title of Marquis of Che, he still got the title of Marquis of Guannei. Therefore, he had the qualification to give orders.
After issuing the order, Zhou Xun immediately led his people and ran down the steps. He knelt down and kowtowed. Then, he immediately picked up the unconscious emperor who was lying on the ground, put him on the imperial couch, and lay down flat. However,
There was no medical officer present, so no one knew what to do.
After doing these things, Zhou Xun put his finger in front of the emperor's nose to explore.
Suddenly, his heart felt cold, and the emperor's breathing was intermittent.
This is a bad sign!
The attendants and eunuchs present felt as if they were on the verge of doom. If the emperor fell, even if he fell himself, the eunuchs and attendants around him would be punished by beheading!
And if the emperor dies...
Then everyone will be killed by the clan!
A quarter of an hour later, the young medical officer on duty hurried over with a medicine box, and even the wizard came.
Half an hour later, the Queen Mother arrived.
After another hour, all the important officials in Beijing had gathered together.
Empress Dowager Dou's face was serious, and the emperor's situation was not optimistic.
The medical officers said that even if he was rescued, he probably wouldn't have long left.
Chunyu Yi even told her: It is better to prepare early.
But at this critical moment, the prince actually went out for a wander.
Really...the prince of the Liu family, can you let her worry less?
After all, Empress Dowager Dou was the woman who followed the late emperor from the Kingdom of Dai to Chang'an. She was leaning on crutches and forced to hold back her grief.
Although her eyes are blind, her heart is not blind.
"General Zhonglang!" Empress Dowager Dou immediately ordered: "Immediately send Qing Zhi to see the Ai family..."
At the same time, she immediately ordered the Changle Palace Guards Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu to lead the Changle Palace Guards and set off immediately to recall the prince at starry night.
After a while, General Zhidu came to the Queen Mother Dou, knelt down and kowtowed: "I all pay homage to the Queen Mother!"
"General!" Empress Dowager Dou leaned on crutches and groped towards Zhidu, with a stern look on her face, and said: "The Han family and the country are at the point of life and death. The emperor accidentally fell down, and I am afraid he will die. At this moment, the country and the country are at risk.
On the general!"
Hearing this, Zhi Du's face darkened. He never expected that such a thing would happen.
The emperor in the prime of his life would have such an accident!
"The prince has not returned from his trip. The captain and the general are leading a million troops, hanging alone outside. The power of the princes and kings cannot be underestimated. When the life and death of this country is at stake, the Ai family entrusts the defense of Chang'an to the general.
, I hope the general will live up to the expectations of the emperor and the Ai family!"
Queen Mother Dou felt as clear as a mirror at this moment.
It doesn't matter if the prince is not here. Anyway, he is still in Guanzhong. He should be able to return to Chang'an before noon tomorrow to take charge of the situation.
But the key now is that Taiwei Zhou Yafu and General Dou Ying control more than a million troops.
With this power, if the emperor is still alive, he will naturally be able to release his military power with an edict.
But now, something happened to the emperor. If he died, Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying would have a big question mark.
Empress Dowager Dou remembered clearly that when she was still a maid beside Empress Lu, Emperor Gao passed away, and Empress Lu kept the funeral secret, hoping to punish the meritorious officials and monopolize power.
But at that time, Chen Ping and Guan Ying were stationed at Xingyang with 100,000 troops, and Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo were stationed at Yan Dynasty with 200,000 troops.
It was these 300,000 people who made Empress Lu use the rat weapon to prevent her from taking any action.
What's more, now millions of troops are alone outside, and the emperor has an accident?
Therefore, Queen Mother Dou knew that every decision now must be carefully considered, otherwise, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that the country will change!
It's not that she doesn't trust Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying, but that there is no room for any oversight in this matter!
What's even more troublesome is that if the emperor dies, the princes in the world may start to jump up again.
The young master suspects that the Huns may not stretch out their paws to test.
Three years ago, when the emperor ascended the throne, didn't the Xiongnu launch a massive invasion that year?
Each of these things may shake Chang'an's authority.
For the sake of the country, the country, and the late emperor, Empress Dowager Dou immediately made up her mind.
Immediately issued an edict, appointing Zhi Du as lieutenant, general of chariots and cavalry, to control the northern and southern armies and the Bashang garrison. At the same time, he issued an order to immediately rush eight hundred miles to notify Hangu, Wuguan, Xiaoguan and other passes to lock the passes, and ordered
Zhao Wang Liu Sui, who was under house arrest in Zhao Wang's official residence, was immediately escorted to the palace for residential surveillance.
With these orders issued.
Chang'an City immediately became a military station.
Countless residents were awakened by the rumble of horse hooves and neat footsteps in the middle of the night. They opened their windows in horror, only to see that the outside had turned into a sea of torches.
A large number of troops are entering the city from the military camps outside the city.
Groups of heavily armed soldiers with distinctive armor were patrolling the city.
The door of the arsenal has been opened, and the mountains of ordnance have been taken out under the efficient operation of the Shaofu and Zhonglang Generals and the Neishi Yamen.
The strong crossbows were distributed one by one, and the brand-new bed crossbows were pushed out one after another and then hung on the top of the city.
Now, in Chang'an City, anyone who is a little sensitive knows that something big has happened!
Even when the late emperor passed away three years ago, Chang'an had never been so nervous.
Only some elderly people will remember the scene when Emperor Gao died decades ago.
"I'm afraid, something happened to the Emperor..." Such a thought flashed through the minds of countless people.
Not long ago, the emperor also had an accident. It is not unusual for it to happen again at this time. But looking at this situation, I am afraid that it will change today!
…………………………………………
At dawn, the emperor Liu Qi woke up from pain.
There was a voice in the dark telling him that it was time.
He opened his eyes and saw only the Queen Mother and the Queen standing in front of his couch.
"Where is the Crown Prince?" The first words Liu Qi opened his mouth were naturally concerned about his Crown Prince.
In fact, the moment he woke up, he already understood what happened.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover this time.
At the beginning, Emperor Gao personally conquered Yingbu, and his shoulder was injured by a stray arrow. Such a strong emperor fell down at the last word.
Liu Qi did not dare to expect that his life would be tougher than that of Emperor Gao!
"Prince, you are already on your way back. Your Majesty, please hold on..." Empress Bo cried.
Whether it is the medical officer of the Shaofu or a famous doctor like Chun Yuyi, they have already told Empress Bo and Empress Dowager Dou that the Emperor is running out of time, and his awakening this time is just the result of acupuncture and drug stimulation.
"Oh... yes, the prince and the King of Hejian went out for an outing..." Liu Qi murmured in his heart.
"Prince, come back, wake me up..." After Liu Qi said this, he closed his eyes. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
