Nine hundred and twentieth from now on I am a country (2)
Of course, the princes and heirs of the Yuan Dynasty have no other way to go.
Of course, their goal was achieved.
Crying in the temple before the Supreme Emperor.
In any case, the emperor would have to use a tai-lao to report to his ancestors afterwards.
Including, but not limited to, Taimiao Temple, Gaomiao Temple, Taizong Temple, Renzong Temple, and even Huimiao Temple.
In this way, the souls of the ancestors will return from Jiuquan, and their will will be embodied through the tortoise shell.
Although everyone knows that the result must be that today's emperor has been perfectly forgiven by the "former emperors".
However, the pressure has been transferred to the royal family.
Emperor Liu has always been the most shameless and the most concerned about face.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, there was a folk song that said: One foot of cloth can still be sewed, but two brothers are incompatible.
When Emperor Taizong heard about it, he immediately made the third son of King Li of Huainan king.
This proves that he absolutely did not intentionally harm his biological brother.
Not to mention coveting the land of Huainan Kingdom!
Now, since I have received my destiny from heaven, I have hung a plaque above the Xuanshi Hall that says: Poverty all over the world, heaven's fortune will last forever.
He is naturally a more face-saving person than Taizong.
As long as you save face, things will be easy to handle.
It can range from three to five years at most, to one and a half years at least.
Among them, at least one vassal king will inevitably be born, and there may even be two or three!
This is Liu's inertia.
It will not change due to changes in time and the world.
Of course, they also knew that by doing this, they were actually offending everyone in the government and the public, especially the Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, the imperial censor Chao Cuo, Taichang, the Shaofu, and the East Palace.
These people and their descendants will definitely regard themselves as enemies.
But it's nothing spectacular.
If you can rule a country, you can continue the incense in the ancestral temple of the Yuan Dynasty king, so that future generations can enjoy wealth and honor in peace.
If they want to hate it, then hate it!
Is it possible that they still dare to kill people?
At most, future generations will not have any good looks or good fruits to eat in front of these people.
But so what?
The current situation and situation is that the Emperor is supreme and has far-reaching and all-powerful authority.
The government and the public, all put together, are not enough to kill the emperor with one finger.
As long as they hug the emperor's lap and learn from Chen Jia, Marquis of Fuyang, and Xu Jiu, Marquis of Song Dynasty, who can touch the big guy?
Therefore, these Yuan Prince heirs all appear to be frightened on the surface, but in reality they are extremely calm.
After them, the ministers, warriors, and priests who were responsible for guarding the Imperial Ancestral Temple, all like the princes of the Yuan Dynasty, exposed their shirts, knelt down collectively before Liu Che, and said: "The incompetence of the ministers has caused the Imperial Ancestral Temple to be disturbed.
The spirits of our ancestors cannot be left alone, and I am willing to die. I beg your majesty for your permission!"
For these people, it is already a blessing for them to die now.
As long as one's family is not implicated, the emperor's grace is immense and the emperor is merciful.
How could you ask for more?
Liu Che sat on the carriage and looked at these people.
There were more than 300 people in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, including officials, soldiers and various handymen.
These people all have their own families, wives and children.
If they died in such a tragic accident, Liu Che knew very well what would happen to their descendants, wives and children.
First, the parents will have no one to take care of them in old age (if it is an only-child family), and secondly, the youngest sons and daughters will be orphaned (their wives will 100% remarry).
Liu Che then stood up, looked at them, and said: "I have been ordered by Heaven, and Heaven has ordered me to shepherd and hunt the world. All the ministers are guilty, and so am I. I am the only one responsible for the fault of hundreds of officials, and the order of chaos in the world! I have already shaved off my hair.
I am the one who takes the place of the sin and atones for the sins of the ministers with my own bow! You, too, are among them, and all are pardoned!"
Liu Che pardoned them not only out of mercy and sympathy, but also out of consideration for maintaining the situation between the government and the opposition.
A very simple truth is that if all the warriors and officials of the Imperial Ancestral Temple should be punished.
So, should Chao Cuo, the imperial censor who was the instigator, be punished?
The answer is yes.
Even if Liu Che doesn't want to, those enemies and political opponents of Chao Cuo will use this as an excuse to talk about it every day and every year.
Even if Liu Che can persist, Chao Cuo may not be able to persist.
At that time, Zhi Hou Bo Zhao was forced to commit suicide to apologize for his crimes because the ministers sang lament songs outside his house every day.
It is not too easy for bureaucrats to learn from the old wisdom of the past.
In addition, because the princes and grandsons of the Yuan Dynasty entered the Ancestral Temple through the gap of Neishi Yamen.
Liu Che's confidants, including Uncle Tian and Yan Yi, the current internal historians, all want to go to jail.
Even if he could come out, he would have to seclude himself from the world and would not be able to serve as an official for the rest of his life.
Therefore, this is not only Liu Che's sympathy and mercy, but also the necessity to control the situation of the DPRK, and it is also an act to win people's hearts.
"Prime Minister!" Liu Che ordered: "Master Yushi!"
"I'm waiting!" Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo immediately came out to pay their respects.
"Too often!" Liu Che said again.
"My minister is here!" Dou Pengzu also came out to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty, please place my hair in front of the Emperor's robe and crown in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, waiting for me to apologize!" Liu Che said.
"promise!"
So Zhou Yafu took Chao Cuo and Dou Pengzu, respectfully took the strand of hair presented in a box from Wang Dao, and then bowed three times.
The sacrificial officials, congratulatory officials, warriors, soldiers, and officials who originally thought they would die suddenly burst into tears when they saw this scene.
Some people even crawled up to Liu Che's chariot and cried: "I am guilty and deserve to die. Your Majesty is the most noble and the son of destiny. How noble is he? Why is this? It has been the case since ancient times for the Lord to humiliate his ministers and die."
How dare you use your humble and despicable body to bring shame to His Majesty, don’t do it!”
As he spoke, he was about to draw his sword and kill himself.
Fortunately, the guards on the left and right immediately snatched away the weapons and subdued him to the ground.
Liu Che looked at their faces, and each of them had a look of resignation.
Liu Che knew that they were not acting.
This is a fact!
The so-called, ***************, scholar-bureaucrats are never disloyal!
In particular, the loyalty and spirit of these warrior officials who guard the ancestral temples of the Han Dynasty have always been unyielding.
At that time, all the princes and ministers executed Zhu Lu together.
The killings in Chang'an led to rivers of blood, and finally all the Lu were cut off, and the acting king was ushered in.
The king's chariot drove into Chang'an and arrived at Simamen.
At that time, it was already time for all the Lu to be wiped out.
However, when the king's chariot came to Sima's door, ten warriors holding long halberds stopped in front of the chariot and shouted: The emperor is here, where can I go?
It wasn't until Taiwei Zhou Bo came forward that they were disciplined and sent away.
Xia Houying and Liu Xingju also led people to arrest the young emperor's brothers. They said to the trembling young emperor: "If you are not a son of the Liu family, you should not be established!"
Then, they were met with armed resistance by the bodyguards who were protecting the Young Emperor's brothers.
Note that at that time, the princes and ministers had already taken control of the situation, and all the Lu were cut off. In fact, the people who monitored and protected the young emperor were the attendants of the princes and ministers.
You can say these people are stupid and loyal, you can say they are stubborn.
But they do exist, and they are a huge group.
For ordinary people and lower-level officials.
They don't understand the brain circuits of the rulers, nor do they know what banners the rulers are setting.
They only know one thing.
Being loyal to the emperor now will be patriotic in the future.
Of course, rulers and elites can talk nonsense, and even proudly show off their power, pointing at them and saying: Idiots.
But there they are.
Not to be ignored, not to be ignored, not to be despised.
They may have little strength, or they may be isolated and helpless.
But three thousand Yue Jia can devour Wu. Even if Chu has three households, Chu will definitely destroy Qin.
Whoever breaks their hearts and disappoints them will surely perish!
Because, in the final analysis, the country and the political power need their protection. They have given up the country and the emperor. Who would be willing to bleed for the emperor and the country?
Scholar-officials? Rulers?
Is this funny?
It's just a pity that the rulers and elites always feel good about themselves.
"I am guilty of the crime of myself and others..." Liu Che looked at these people and said slowly: "Your lives are mine. I didn't let you die. Can you die?"
These people just cried and worshiped: "No! I am willing to go forward for Your Majesty. Please be your own soldiers and charge into battle for Your Majesty!"
"Good!" Liu Che then clapped his hands and praised: "You should keep yourself useful and sharpen yourself. In the future, you can listen to my orders and serve your family and country!"
"We are willing to be His Majesty's sword forever, and our descendants will be His Majesty's soldiers for generations to come!" So, more than 300 people all prostrated and worshiped: "Long live, long live, long live!"
Other ministers, princes, and army officers also bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty has given you great favors and great virtues, and bestowed them on me and others. I am so grateful that I will be your Majesty's servant forever! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
As a result, the entire city of Chang'an echoed with the cry of long live.
…………………………………………
Returning to the palace from the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Liu Che had just taken off his emperor's clothes when a eunuch immediately came and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have an invitation!"
"Well, it's just as I expected!" Liu Che nodded in his mind.
How could Dong Palace not know about such a big thing?
Once he found out, he had only one reaction.
The East Palace now actually has to hand over power.
If we don't hand over power, the world and officials will immediately boil.
Since ancient times, no one has dared to continue to exercise power despite the opposition of the people in the world.
"Please tell the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother that I will be there immediately..." On the surface, Liu Che was still calm, as if nothing happened today.
…………………………………………
In the East Palace, Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Bo were sitting hand in hand on the throne, listening to Dou Pengzu's report.
As Dou Pengzu relayed it, Mr. Dou's expression gradually relaxed.
"The emperor is really thoughtful..." Mrs. Dou sighed to Empress Dowager Bo: "For the sake of the Ai family, he did not hesitate to punish the sins and even accused the Taimiao. This is not the fault of the Ai family..."
Empress Dowager Bo quickly said: "Mother, this is what the emperor should do. Back then, Emperor Taizong served the empress dowager. He often tasted the soup and medicine without taking off his clothes. This minister and the empress agreed. The emperor is the heir of Taizong, the son of the late emperor, and he is filial to his mother.
, as it should be!”
"The Ai family knows..." Empress Dowager Dou finally laughed: "It's just that the Ai family knows better that the Ai family is not suitable for governing. From now on, the Ai family will concentrate on reciting the "Tao Te Ching" for the late emperor and Taizong.
Just ask Emperor Gao for blessings, and let the emperor handle this matter both inside and outside the court and in the palace..."
"Publish the decree of the Ai family: From now on, any princes or ministers who come to the palace to talk to the Ai family about government affairs will be chased away without seeing them!" Empress Dowager Dou said to an eunuch beside her: "Even if
The person holding the token of mourning for the Ai family was nowhere to be seen!"
"promise!"
Following Empress Dowager Dou's instructions, an era finally came to an end.
From then on, the East Palace retreated behind the scenes and was completely hidden in the palace and attics.
The Han Dynasty and the Liu family entered an era in which the emperor was in full power and no longer had any shackles.
The true emperor is the emperor who holds the law of the world in one word and makes it into a constitution when he speaks it. There is no doubt, no rebuttal and no scruples.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Princess Guantao is requesting an audience..."
Before Dou finished speaking, a eunuch came in to report.
After hearing this, Mrs. Dou thought deeply for a moment.
Don’t you understand your daughter and her mother?
To put it nicely, this daughter is a strong woman and Princess Lu Yuan.
But to put it harshly, she is a shrew who relies on the authority of her mother, daughter and son-in-law to act unscrupulously and unscrupulously!
She even oppresses and exploits her husband.
In her eyes, all other ministers and princes are pigs!
Over the years, her mother has been pampering her.
Mrs. Dou's idea is very simple: The Ai family only has one daughter, if not she will be pampered, who will be pampered?
However, what happened today gave Dou a huge blow.
Let her know that if she continues as in the past, there may be no good results.
The emperor's grandson could protect her for a while, but could he protect her for the rest of his life?
Besides, she herself doesn't have many years to live.
After her death, if Guan Tao continues to be so unbridled, he may not end well.
Mrs. Dou once witnessed with her own eyes the funeral of Empress Zhang, the daughter of Princess Lu Yuanchang and empress of Emperor Hui.
Although Emperor Taizong gave Empress Zhang enough face, she was buried next to Emperor Hui's mausoleum with empress etiquette.
However, Queen Zhang's lonely and miserable old age was still deeply remembered by Dou family.
This is also related to the fact that the first and second generations of Dou's relatives can strictly abide by the law.
No one wants to become the second Zhu Lu!
"Tell Guantao that the Ai family is very poor. From now on, if there is no important matter, don't enter the palace at will..." Mrs. Dou took a long breath and said: "Since I am the wife of the Chen family, Guantao should have a Chen wife."
Wouldn't it be nice to look after your husband and raise your children at home? To spread the decree of the Ai family, take back the letters and talismans given by the Ai family to the Taoists, and then send an order to the Shaofu. If there is no decree from the Ai family, not a single penny should be allocated to the Taoists. How about you order
, it follows the law!”
In Dou's view, this was a way out for Guantao, his precious daughter.
At the same time, I also hope that the other party can be more restrained and more disciplined.
Otherwise, when he dies, Guantao may not only cause problems for himself, but may even implicate the queen.
As the empress dowager of the Liu family, Dou knew very well that the Emperor Liu's requirements for his queen were only to be virtuous and virtuous.
During the reign of the late Emperor, no matter how much he disliked Empress Bo, or even if Empress Bo had no queen, she could still enjoy the dignity of the Queen and eventually become the Queen Mother?
