"Who is it! Who is it! Who is spreading rumors about the Ai family!"
In the Yong'an Palace, Queen Mother He no longer had the majesty of the past. She was seen with disheveled hair and looked like a madman. She was holding a sword and slashing randomly in the room. After a while, the whole room was in a mess.
"The Queen Mother is so immoral."
I don’t know when this rumor started circulating in Luoyang City.
The person who spread the news vividly told the story of Empress Dowager He who defiled the palace and kept male pets in captivity. He also claimed that the favored concubine of Emperor Ling at that time, Wang Meiren, was jealous of Empress Dowager He and was poisoned to death because she was pregnant with King Chenliu and Liu Xie.
, even Empress Dowager Dong, the biological mother of Emperor Ling, was forced to death by Empress Dowager He.
One by one, the words are conclusive.
Logically speaking, slandering the current Queen Mother is a capital offense.
The strange thing is that the defenders in the city never took the initiative to trouble those who spread the message, so the message spread more and more widely, and even reached the palace.
When Queen Mother He heard this message, she drew her sword on the spot and beheaded a guard who was chattering in private, but this did not seem to have any deterrent effect.
Is Queen Mother He really innocent?
Of course, the dirty palace was fabricated out of thin air, but the murder of the beauty Wang with medicine was a stain that the Queen Mother He could not wash away. The person who forced the Queen Mother Dong to death was the Queen Mother He's brother, General He Jin, and this action was also
It came from the instruction of Queen Mother He.
What's more, although Empress Dowager He was the empress dowager, after Dong Zhuo took over, although she still had fine clothes and fine food every day, she no longer had the power to listen to politics from behind the curtain. She even had to meet her own emperor Liu Bian.
With Dong Zhuo's consent.
[Shi Changshi Rebellion], the angry civil and military officials executed all the eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace. After Dong Zhuo arrived, even the palace guards were replaced.
However, the confidant maids in his palace disappeared one by one after Dong Zhuo's arrival. In fact, it was not only the confidants of Queen Mother He, but also the entire imperial city. Dong Zhuo spared almost every female creature that had its feet on the ground.
Ahem...you can imagine the process yourself.
Rights are the dazzling feathers on a phoenix. Without the coverage of rights, this phoenix without its feathers may not be better than a pheasant.
Dong Zhuo did not restrict the movements of Queen Mother He, but every time she went out, dozens of strange guards would follow her step by step. Rather than calling it a trip, it would be more appropriate to call it a tour.
Empress Dowager He just made a splash in her palace. No one would care at all, and no one would even pass it on to Dong Zhuo's desk.
Tired from chopping, Queen Mother He suddenly picked up her sword and was about to walk out, but was stopped by two guards at the door. She was seen struggling and screaming hysterically.
"I want to see my Bian'er, let me see my Bian'er!"
"The Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Grand Master are handling government affairs and it is not convenient to see people. The Queen Mother should not embarrass us."
The guard's words were polite, but Queen Mother He clearly saw a trace of ridicule in the corner of her eyes.
"I am the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty! You! You all deserve to die!"
But they saw Queen Mother He suddenly slashing at the guard's head with her long sword. However, she was just a female who had never practiced martial arts. She was no match for this powerful guard with a sword. She saw him lightly.
With a wave of his hand, he snatched the long sword away.
"Queen Mother, please don't mess around and go and have some rest first!"
However, Queen Mother He seemed to be possessed by a demon. When she saw the weapon in her hand was taken away, she did not flinch. She opened her mouth and bit the guard's hand in one bite.
"Ah! Let go!" The guard was so anxious that he almost cut off the long sword in his hand at the Queen Mother He, but after all, he was concerned about the identity of the other party, so he had to put down the sword and pulled hard with both hands, and then he took the Queen Mother He out of his hands.
Pull it up and down.
I saw that Queen Mother He's mouth was full of blood, but she was still ready to pounce, looking like an evil ghost.
"No! The Queen Mother is crazy!"
Dong Zhuo was originally handling political affairs with Li Ru and Wang Yun in the North Palace, but he saw a guard running over in a hurry and handing a small note to Dong Zhuo.
I saw Dong Zhuo glance at him, but he couldn't help but smile.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then waved his hand to signal Wang Yun and other unrelated people to leave, leaving only his confidant Li Ru.
"Sir, is there a happy event?"
Li Ru still looked sickly. He waved the feather fan in his hand, bowed and asked.
Dong Zhuo didn't answer, but smiled and threw the note in his hand to Li Ru.
"Crazy? It seems that this rumor has finally paid off. Congratulations, sir!"
The rumors were naturally written by Li Ru. In fact, within the imperial city, unless Dong Zhuo instructed, it was impossible to stir up trouble with a few rumors.
The Queen Mother listened to the government behind the curtain, and she was the biological mother of the young emperor Liu Bian. There was no doubt about the influence of her words on the Young Emperor. Dong Zhuo wanted to monopolize power, so the Queen Mother naturally could not let her go.
Rumors are just to build momentum.
Killing the Queen Mother is risking the disapproval of the world, but if a Queen Mother with bad morals regrets her crime and commits suicide, even the heroes of the world can't say anything.
"My lord, to cut the grass we must root it out!"
Being crazy, in a sense, has achieved Dong Zhuo's goal, but being crazy is not as good as death.
Dong Zhuo would naturally not be merciful in this kind of matter: "Wen You, I will leave this matter to you."
"Take your orders!" Li Ru bowed and then left the palace.
"Tsk, what a pity." Dong Zhuo sat in the main seat, which was originally the seat of the Young Emperor, but he curled his lips.
This Liu Bian was just a spoiled waste. Although he was easy to control, he was never the most suitable candidate for the puppet emperor in his mind. Dong Zhuo thought of the clever Liu Xie again, but unfortunately, he was kidnapped by Yuan Shao.
That's all, just listen.
"Let me go! I want to see my prince!"
In Yong'an Palace, everyone finally tied the mad Empress Dowager He to a pillar with great difficulty.
Everyone really has no good solution.
Even if she goes crazy, even if she loses power, she is still the Queen Mother after all.
But if she is allowed to go free, she will throw things around and scream, and even open her mouth and bite her if she doesn't agree with something.
Until Li Ru came.
"You are so courageous! You treat the Queen Mother like this! Why don't you let go of me!"
The Queen Mother He had been tied up for about two quarters of an hour. In order to prevent her from moving around, the rope was tied very firmly. In addition, the Queen Mother He kept struggling and suddenly let go, but only the figure of the Queen Mother He could be seen.
He fell softly to the ground, but he was still muttering the words "I want to see my emperor" on his lips.
"The Queen Mother is frightened! Why don't you bring a bowl of chicken soup quickly!"
Li Ru waved his hand, and a guard hurried out. Not long after, he brought a bowl of steaming chicken soup.
Li Ru picked up the small bowl, scooped up a spoonful, and handed it to Queen Mother He's mouth.
"Don't be impatient, Queen Mother. Let's drink a bowl of chicken soup first to calm down the shock."
"I want to see my emperor! Let me see my emperor!"
Queen Mother He stared at the ground blankly, muttering the same words over and over again, but turning a blind eye to the fragrant chicken soup.
Li Ru was not in a hurry, he put the chicken soup to his mouth and blew on it gently.
"Good boy, after you drink the soup, I will take you to see the emperor."
When the Queen Mother He heard this, her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, and Li Ru fed the chicken soup one spoon after another.
After drinking a whole bowl, Queen Mother He seemed tired, her eyelids kept fluttering up and down, and she fell on the table after a while, but she still seemed to be muttering something vaguely on her lips.
Li Ru, however, took a big bow and gently placed it on Queen Mother He's back.
