"Your Majesty, King Chenliu, pays homage to... Your Majesty!"
The young Liu Xie bowed to him. The emperor quickly stood up, walked down with a smile, and helped him up. Liu Xie still looked a little uneasy and looked at his brother with some fear. When Liu Bian saw him like this, he smiled and held him up.
He hugged him and said, "My little brother is back!" Liu Xie gradually calmed down. Even though the person in front of him was a bit strange, he was still his brother.
"Erlang, long time no see, are you okay, but is someone bullying you?"
The emperor asked with a frown.
"No, it's just that I miss my father, mother and aunt very much..."
"Hey, you're the only one who doesn't miss me?"
"I thought about it too...and my third brother and my little sister..."
"Hahaha, okay, they don't know the news about your return yet. Let's go, I will take you to see them!" The emperor held his hand and walked towards the Queen Mother's residence, Han Men followed them.
Behind him, Xiao Liu Xie looked around and asked with some confusion: "Where is Mr. Song?"
The emperor smiled and said: "He has returned home..."
"Oh..." Liu Xie nodded.
When they walked into Yongning Palace together, the Queen Mother, Rao Yang, and Liu An were all there. When Liu Xie carefully leaned out, the somewhat confused Queen Mother stood up in a hurry and ran towards Liu Xie
, Liu Xie also ran and threw himself into the arms of the Queen Mother. When mother and son got together, they couldn't help crying. Liu An also ran over and was hugged by the Queen Mother.
The little fat man stood there, quietly watching the three of them hugging each other, but he felt inexplicable envy in his heart.
After standing for a long time, the Queen Mother ignored his intention and kept greeting Liu Xie. The little fat man smiled bitterly and turned around to leave.
As early as when he put on the crown, he lost this right to be loved by others. Perhaps, like Emperor Xiaokang, only when he was dying could he lie in his mother's arms with peace of mind, happy and
Leave peacefully.
After finishing all these things, the emperor had a rare moment of rest. It was already nearing the end of the year, and no major events would happen anywhere else. The only major event was the news submitted by Cao Cao.
According to what Cao Cao said, after he married Himihu, he returned to Japan and was recognized by the subjects of Yamatai.
However, what Cao Cao didn't expect was that Hemi summoned the ministers and said that she was a married woman and she had to take care of her husband's children with peace of mind in the future. She could not show up in public, let alone continue Yamatai's political affairs. Therefore, she decided to give up the throne to her husband.
Zen surrendered to his brother Susanoo and immediately executed it. This move made Cao Cao furious, but he could not interfere.
First of all, Himi Huchan gave up the throne without the emperor's permission. In addition, by doing so, she directly broke the plan of Emperor Xiaokang. Emperor Xiaokang hoped that Cao Cao would further control Yamatai by marrying the queen. Of course,
, the future King of Yamatai will still be Cao Cao's heir, so naturally, Yamatai will become the de facto territory of the Han Dynasty.
However, Himihu obviously did not want to see such a situation. She took advantage of the death of Emperor Xiaokang and no one in the temple noticed the Japanese country, so she directly abdicated. The future heir will be the heir of her younger brother, and
The big man didn't have any contact with her. Cao Cao knew that he had underestimated this woman, so he hurriedly reported to the temple, hoping that the emperor would issue an edict against this concession.
The emperor was not very clear about the affairs of the Japanese country, nor did he know how many plans Emperor Xiaokang had. The matter could only be left to Wang Fu and other ministers for discussion.
At this time, some remarks that were unfavorable to the emperor appeared in the court.
In the temple, many ministers are looking forward to the death of Emperor Xiaokang, so that they can survive the policy of suppressing party members during the Emperor Xiaokang's period, and can once again form the situation of the Emperor Xiaohuan's period. During the Emperor Xiaohuan's period, the Party
The power of the people is so great that they can even support the generals and constantly restrict the imperial power in the name of conquering the eunuchs.
This led to the party control policy during the period of Emperor Xiaohuan. This was an extremely direct policy that suppressed the party members from the outside. Even so, the party members did not suffer much threat in reality. However, Emperor Xiaokang was different.
This emperor is a master who stabs with a smile. When he first came to the throne, he was so gentle and enthusiastic towards the party members.
When he truly grasped the real power, the party ushered in the end. Assessment, official education, and no private education. These systems fundamentally destroyed the prosperity of the aristocratic family and the monopoly of knowledge. Subsequently, the Embroidered Clothes Messenger, Yang Qiu
, Zhang He has become a nightmare for party members, and there is even a Huangmen supervision system proposed by Wang Fu. Party members have to have Huangmen monitor the transcripts at gatherings.
Faced with such a situation, they did not even have the thought of resisting, and those who resisted died under the emperor's sword.
Nowadays, it is rare for them to survive until Emperor Xiaokang's death. They hope that there will be some changes. The previous counterattack against Zhang He may not have meant this, but what they did not expect was that the emperor just said a few words to discuss it later and settled the matter.
came down, and then they began to oppose the Huangmen Supervision System and the expansion of the Embroidered Clothes Envoys, but still did not receive a response from the emperor.
As a result, there were some rumors in the court. They said that the prince was unfilial. Emperor Xiaokang had great achievements, but he was only buried in a small way. The money from the treasury was used to build the palace. After the little fat man came to power, he indeed renovated the palace. The court
Some people used the reputation of Emperor Xiaokang to suppress the little fat man. This was something the little fat man never expected. How high was the prestige of Emperor Xiaokang in the hearts of the officials and the people?
Attacking the little fat man by saying that he was disrespectful to Emperor Xiaokang made the little fat man a little worried.
He immediately ordered Zhang He to carry out an all-out arrest, but he did not have the prestige of Emperor Xiaokang. After being arrested by him, many ministers still looked like they were sad for Emperor Xiaokang and cursed the new emperor.
Their actions made it seem as if they were loyal ministers of Emperor Xiaokang.
By relying on the people and officials' longing for Emperor Xiaokang, even if they were executed, many people were affected. Wang Fu, Zhang He, Yuan Feng, and even Zhang Wen and Song Feng all took action and tried their best to help the emperor calm the situation.
Song Feng led Zhi Jinwu and captured dozens of people in succession. He was also called a traitor. However, he was the emperor's grandfather and he did not care about such a bad reputation.
The little fat man was sitting in the Hall of Houde, reading the memorial with his brows furrowed.
Han Men stood beside him and said worriedly: "Does the country... need to eat?"
The emperor has not eaten for a whole day, and it is difficult to sleep these days. Han Men sees this, but also has some thoughts of his own. Whenever the party flourishes, the eunuchs in the palace will definitely grow rapidly.
The opposite is also true, but generally only when the party members are strong, the emperor will continue to cultivate eunuchs and confront the party members. Thinking of seniors like Cao Jiehou Lan, Han Men narrowed his eyes.
"Alas..." the emperor sighed.
"Why can't these thieves see peace in the temple?"
Han Men did not dare to speak and lowered his head.
"Why am I so miserable..." The little fat man shook his head, and Han Men said: "Your Majesty, please don't speak like that. During the reign of Emperor Xiaokang, traitors were even more powerful!" The little fat man was stunned and nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something, stood up suddenly, and said: "Yes, why did you forget? My father left three testaments. The last one asked me to read it after three months, but I forgot about it!"
He immediately rushed to the study room of the East Palace and searched. On top of the document, he found the edict left by the emperor himself. He then retreated from Hanmen and opened the last edict. The word "二" was written on the edict. , previously, after the emperor left a posthumous edict for a thin burial, he wrote at the end that he could open the second letter several months after he was buried, but not early.
Previously, the emperor was still very curious about this edict and had been hesitant to open it in advance. However, due to the complicated things, he lost the interest. If he hadn't suddenly remembered it today, he would not have wanted to open it. After being sealed in dust for a long time, the Emperor slowly tore open the seal, opened the letter, and read it carefully for a moment. His whole body was shaken, and the letter almost fell from his hands.
He raised his head with a complicated expression on his face. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly laughed.
He held the imperial edict and walked out of the study with a big smile. For some reason, Han Men, who was standing at the door, felt chilled by his laughter. He shrank his back and walked forward. The emperor looked at him. , said with some disdain: "Open the court meeting!"
The ministers did not understand why a court meeting was held at this time. When the storm had not calmed down, wouldn't the emperor be worried that people with ulterior motives would accuse him face to face? Among these people, there was no fear of death. There are not many, and their purpose is also very simple. They can suppress the emperor's prestige, limit the increasingly prosperous imperial power, and return the situation in the DPRK and China to the hands of the party members.
These people also contacted Yuan Feng, Cai Yong, Song Feng, Xing Ziang and others, but they were arrested on the spot and sent to the embroidered clothes messenger, Wang Fu... but no one went to look for it...
During the court meeting, Yuan Feng and other ministers also looked a little tired. These days, they were very busy, especially Cai Yong. He strictly regulated the imperial studies and discipleship. The imperial students here were almost crazy about Emperor Xiaokang. Yes, if today's emperor is trying to falsify his edicts, bury Emperor Xiaokang lightly, and use his money to renovate the palace for his own enjoyment, these imperial students will definitely not be able to bear it.
The emperor was sitting in the upper position, but he looked a little confident. He sneered, looked at the ministers, and asked: "I heard that some people in the court were talking about the emperor, thinking that I was unfilial, and some even said that Emperor Kang was filial. Was he killed by me?"
"Hahaha~~" The emperor laughed and asked: "Who thinks so? You can get up and tell me!"
It was quiet in the temple, but no one dared to get up and reply.
Some people noticed that the emperor seemed different today.
The emperor sneered, took out a letter, stood up, walked down, handed it into Cai Yong's hand, and said: "Cai Gong once personally taught Emperor Xiaokang calligraphy. I want to see Cai Gong. Is this the autograph of Emperor Xiaokang?"
Cai Yong took the letter with some doubts, read it carefully for a long time, nodded and said: "Exactly."
“Mr.
"Exactly!"
"Okay, Your Majesty, please read this letter from Emperor Xiaokang's last edict to all the ministers!!" The emperor put the letter in Wang Fu's hand, turned around and sat on the throne. Wang Fu took the letter in his hand and read it loudly.
stand up:
"I, the great Han Emperor Hong!"
"I have been unwell for a long time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to survive the winter, so I leave this edict, and my son Liu Bian will personally sign it!"
"When I was alive, the traitors in the court escaped, and the villains hid them. If I leave, the traitors in the court will definitely flourish again. Therefore, I leave this edict. If there are thieves who think that I am buried in a poor way and want to criticize the emperor, what a clan!!!"
"If there is a thief who blames the emperor for not caring about family ties because of King Chenliu's affairs, clan!!!"
"If there is a thief who accuses the Emperor of being unfilial because of the Queen Mother's affairs, that's a shame!!!"
"If there is a thief who criticizes the emperor with calamity, it will be a disaster!!!"
"No matter how noble he is, no matter his talent, no matter his virtue, if anyone violates my order, he will be punished by my decree! There will be no pardon! If he is released privately under the protection of my family, he will be punished by my decree!!!"
When Wang Fu shouted these words loudly, some ministers suddenly fell to the ground. The ministers' backs felt cold and their whole bodies were trembling. It was as if Emperor Xiaokang was standing in front of them, roaring angrily. They understood,
This plan against the new emperor failed completely. In the future, as long as someone dares to use something to attack the emperor, the emperor can just use Emperor Xiaokang's edict to kill him.
After all, the person who gave the order was Emperor Xiaokang. The most prestigious Emperor Xiaokang, who would dare to disobey?
The party members wanted to use the prestige of Emperor Xiaokang to oppress the emperor, but they did not expect that Emperor Xiaokang used the same method, that is, using his own prestige to become a sharp sword in the hands of the emperor, including princes, nobles, and ministers.
Talented, a mighty general in the army, no one dares to touch his edge!
Wang Fu looked coldly at the ministers below who were extremely frightened and hurriedly apologized to the emperor. He almost laughed. Emperor Xiaokang, it's true... before he died, he did not forget to show off to these ministers and first stay for himself.
They issued a posthumous edict and were buried in the simplest way, even more so than Emperor Xiaowen, giving them a reason to attack the emperor.
Then he used the excuse he gave to eradicate these ministers with ulterior motives for the emperor!
Wang Fu thought seriously, wasn't Emperor Xiaokang like this too?
When he buried Emperor Xiaohuan lightly, these same traitors criticized the emperor for being unfilial, which led to natural disasters. How did Emperor Xiaokang solve the problem at that time? Oh, by the way, it was an old Taiwei who helped the emperor resolve the siege.
, Emperor Xiaokang knew these people too clearly, but did his ministers fail to perform their duties?
Wang Fu turned his head and looked at the young emperor sitting in the upper seat with a frown and a solemn expression.
Emperor Xiaokang had Liu Ju to protect him.
What about him?
There is me!!
Wang Fu suddenly looked at the ministers. At that moment, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
