When Dou Wu had been buried and settled, the Queen Mother held another court meeting a few days later. At this time, the little fat man was also present. Everyone lowered their heads and rushed to the temple in silence. They had no idea about Dou Wu's incident at all.
They couldn't let go and didn't believe it. However, when they saw the little fat man sitting above, they still went to salute one by one. They wanted to ask the emperor for an explanation.
"Mother, I am still young, so I trouble my mother to take care of the government affairs."
The little fat man bowed to Empress Dowager Dou. Empress Dowager Dou shook her head and said sadly: "How can the daughter of a guilty minister come to court? Although your Majesty is young, you are also smart and can handle it by yourself."
"What did the Queen say? Without the help of the Queen, how could I manage the affairs of the court? The Queen must abandon me!" The little fat man suddenly cried and said. Queen Mother Dou stroked the little fat man's back lovingly and forced her to
Squeezing out a smile, she said: "Your majesty, how can you cry? My mother will never leave you." She looked at the ministers and then said:
"The purpose of summoning ministers today is to interrogate Dou Wu, bury many virtuous ministers including Chen Fan, and Hu Guang and others for their involvement in rebellion."
After she finished speaking, everyone was still silent. They decided to express their attitude with silence. No matter what you say, we all believe in Dou Wu. Dou Wu will never plot chaos. You are wrong!
Their attitude made Empress Dowager Dou furious, but she was speechless. Could it be that she was required to decide her father's crime on her own? Wouldn't that be too cruel?
The little fat man suddenly said: "I don't believe that General Dou will plot chaos. It was General Dou who welcomed me to this position of 95. Since General Dou has dealt with the world's political dignitaries, the world has been in great rule, and the people have praised such talents.
, how can you commit chaos and rebellion?"
Hearing this, the ministers suddenly widened their eyes and looked at the emperor in disbelief. Some of them even started to cry. Empress Dowager Dou looked at the little fat man in shock. However, she remembered that the little fat man was
What did your father look like when you were scared!
The little fat man stood up and said loudly: "I have been investigating the events of that day for the past few days. I have learned that on that day, General Dou invaded Weiyang just to eradicate the eunuchs. It was for the sake of our Han Dynasty and those eunuchs.
! Eunuchs, regular attendants! They beguiled the soldiers of the Northern Army, saying that the general had rebelled, and he was killed by the soldiers just now. General Dou died for the Han!"
The little fat man wailed and shouted. Some of the ministers were crying loudly, some were doubtful, and some even looked at the young emperor silently. The little fat man turned his head and shook his head towards Queen Mother Dou.
The Queen Mother listened in shock. The little fat man looked at the many courtiers below and suddenly said: "I, when I learned about this, it was too late. This person has passed away irretrievably."
"This is my responsibility. If I hadn't been able to eradicate those traitors as soon as possible, why would we have been in such trouble today?!"
The little fat man closed his eyes, calmed down for a while, and then said: "Today, I am going to rectify General Dou's name. All ministers must obey the order!!" The little fat man shouted suddenly, and many ministers, whether they were suspicious or wailing,
Everyone stood up one after another, stood in the center of the court, and bowed to the little fat man. Seeing all the ministers leaning over, the little fat man's eyes flashed with joy, and he quickly suppressed them.
"I ordered Mr. Dou to lead an army to attack Weiyang, which was unethical. However, considering him to be the country and the people, I pardoned his innocence, gave him the posthumous title of Duke of Wei, and buried him beside the imperial mausoleum.
, and future kings will all offer sacrifices every year to pay tribute to their spirits in heaven!"
"The emperor is wise!"
Everyone shouted and bowed down to worship again.
"I hope you, gentlemen, can forgive me for my sin... If I had not castrated the dog a long time ago, Mr. Dou would have died in my hands!" the little fat man said while wiping his tears. The ministers were even more moved, including Liu Tao.
He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please do not belittle me. This is not your Majesty's fault!"
"No, it was me who killed Mr. Dou. I regret it so much!" the little fat man said in pain, and the ministers comforted him again. Then the little fat man raised his head, looked at the ministers, and asked: "A few days ago
, I heard from Zhang Zhonghou that several party members dug the graves of those Zhongchangshi, who did it?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became quiet again. After a while, a few people stood up and said:
"Your Majesty Zhang Jian is guilty!"
"Chen Yuankang is guilty!"
"Chen Hao is guilty!"
The little fat man looked them over, and suddenly said: "What are you guilty of? Those ten ministers committed a heinous crime. You have meritorious service! You will be rewarded with ten gold coins!" The little fat man suddenly looked at the many ministers and said seriously.
"You stick to your moral integrity and send Duke Wei off on your own, so you should be rewarded! I will also reward each of you ten gold pieces!" the little fat man shouted loudly.
Everyone apologized again, and the image of the little fat man suddenly became higher in their eyes. This little fat man, who was less than seven feet tall, looked so tall at the moment. If he could use a posthumous title of Wei Gong that was not necessarily practical and could not be inherited, and some money
If it can appease the party members all over the world, the little fat man will be very happy.
You know, because Emperor Xiaoheng sold his official position and conferred titles, plus the money he gained from stealing the residence of the Ten Changshi, the imperial money was directly filled up. What's more, Dou Wu and the Zhongchangshi were all dead, and he granted titles or cursed them.
None of them had any effect. The little fat man looked at the ministers below and decided that it was time. Suddenly, he said seriously:
"In my opinion, disasters are everywhere in the world, and barbarians knock on the gates. This is the crime of Zhong Changshi. He is not virtuous to heaven. Of course, disasters are brought, and the same is true for Wei Gong's affairs. All ministers obey orders!"
This time, everyone bowed and saluted much faster. Everyone bowed their heads completely, waiting for the emperor's order. The little fat man said solemnly: "I have decided that from now on there will no longer be a Zhongchang Shi. From now on, there will no longer be a Zhongchang in the court."
Sir, I also hope that you and other party members will work hard to govern the Han Dynasty for me!"
"What?"
"The world is wise!!"
"We are lucky enough to meet the Holy One!"
Some party members even cried. They had been bullied by eunuchs for too long. The struggle between eunuchs and scholars can be traced back to a hundred years ago. At that time, they did not have the title of party members. In order to eradicate these eunuchs, they fought for
They have been working hard for a long time to allow the emperor to hand over the affairs of the government to them, the real wise men. Unexpectedly, after Dou Wu died, the dream came true!
Everyone shouted long live and were ecstatic.
The little fat man looked at them calmly, "Zhongchangshi"? It's just an official title. I don't have Zhongchangshi. I can completely change the name, or simply use Huangmenling to manage the internal dynasty. Without the title of "Zhongchangshi", would an eunuch be just like "Zhongchangshi"?
Can't you resist me anymore?
After the court meeting, the ministers discussed and buried Dou Wu again. It was just a grand burial. The little fat man also said that he would appear at the funerals of Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others, and the death of Chen Fan and others would naturally
The blame lies with the eunuchs, and what the eunuchs do with them is naturally to confiscate their property and return it to the state treasury. Most of the property has been taken away by the little fat man. It has to be said that the property of these eunuchs is really shocking.
God knows how much they embezzled.
As for the sealing and burial of Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others, the little fat man let the ministers discuss it themselves, and then left the court. The queen mother walked out with him. The queen mother turned her head and looked at the little fat man with some surprise. He said helplessly: "Dou Wu is the father of the queen mother, how can I convict him?" He lamented and said: "As long as the queen mother can feel better, I will not pursue Dou Wu's crime."
"Anyway, those regular servants who have no conscience are not good people, so let them bear the blame."
"What do you think, Queen Mother?"
The little fat man asked timidly. Empress Dowager Dou hugged the little fat man fiercely and cried loudly.
