Chapter 58 Handing over power
"At present, there is no evidence of Wu Anhou's involvement, and there is not even empirical evidence of Princess Liu Ling's participation. Yiqiē is still speculating, asking whether the Marquis of Wu'an and Princess Liu Ling can be monitored. ”
The Chengming Hall fell into a deathly silence, and Zhang Tang peeked at Liu Che. It was found that His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the dragon chair and was silent for a long time. Marquis of Wu'an, Queen Mother, Liu Ling, Liu An, Huns. The string of names is dangerous and complicated, which makes it difficult for Liu Che to choose.
After a long time, Liu Che's voice finally fell. "I said that the Imperial Lieutenant Office can supervise hundreds of officials and the Liu clan. Relatives are naturally included, and it is a matter of social safety. No matter who is involved, it must be investigated and investigated to the end. ”
"No! Retire! With this holy decree, Zhang Tang has confidence. As long as you work hard to investigate, there is nothing in this world that cannot be found. People have left a name and a goose has left a voice, and anyone or anything will leave clues.
Now that the goal has been achieved, it is better to wait for the time if you don't leave now. Zhang Tang walked out backwards, and only Liu Che and Qiandu were left in the main hall.
"Qiandu, you are also on an errand with the Imperial Lieutenant's Office. You pay more attention to the affairs over there, and I see that the Imperial Lieutenant Department has a lot of scruples. There are some things that you don't have to worry about, no matter who you run into or what happens. You must strictly supervise it, as long as you are dedicated to the country. I won't fail you, and the Han won't fail you. ”
"No, your majesty xià rest assured. The minions must find out what happened. ”
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please come over." A small chamberlain walked in to report.
"Did you say anything?" Liu Che said with some surprise. At this time, the Empress Dowager summoned her, and she must have asked about Jiangnan. What did this old lady think, did she agree to fight or continue to hinder? Liu Che's heart was suspicious, and he hurriedly ordered someone to prepare for the royal palace to go to Changle Palace.
The Changle Palace was filled with a strong medicinal smell, and the closer you got to the Immortal Palace, the stronger the medicinal smell became. After five dynasties, the Empress Dowager Dou Yifang finally fell ill, and she had amazing intuition. I'm afraid it won't get better this time. The bumpy sound is finally coming to an end.
Liu Che came directly to the apse, and the Empress Dowager was lying on her back on the couch. The snow-white hair was a little scattered, and Liu Che saw that her face was a little dark by the candle flame. The once gorgeous face was covered with furrows, and this was his grandmother. At this time, she completely lost her grace and nobility in the past, and she was no different from an ordinary old peasant woman on the couch.
"The Emperor is here." The Empress Dowager, who was lying on her back, suddenly said something that scared Liu Che.
"Imperial Grandmother. The grandson is here. Liu Che knelt in front of the Queen Mother's couch, looking at her weakened grandmother, her eyes couldn't help but redden.
"Let grandma touch it." The Empress Dowager stretched out her palm like dead tree bark with difficulty, which was black and thin. There is no luster at all, and there is no softness on Liu Che's face. It was as if a dry bone was groping Liu Che's cheek.
"I've never seen you before, your face was smooth and tender when you were a child. Now you're grown and your skin is rough. Grandma is also old, and time is running out, and they are hiding their old bodies. But my body knows that my grandmother is afraid that she will not be able to survive this winter. ”
"Grandma......" Liu Che's tears burst out of his eyes, he was afraid of this grandmother. I hated this grandma too. But at this time, Liu Che had no fear or hatred. Now lying on the sickbed is just an old woman who is about to die, not the empress dowager of the Han Empire.
"Don't cry! Don't cry! Child, let's not cry. Grandma lived to this age, and enjoyed wealth and glory all her life. Enough, tired too. Here's this, here you go! ”
The Empress Dowager's hand fumbled on the bed and took out a black lacquer box. I took it but didn't pick it up. Liu Che hurriedly picked it up, opened it and was stunned.
A golden tiger talisman lay quietly in the black lacquer box. The tiger talisman is divided into two halves and has an inscription on it. This...... This is the Taizu Tiger Talisman that can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses.
"Grandma...... You're ......"
"The old body doesn't have many days left, and this thing has been kept here for too long. Now it's back to you, and you can do it as you want.
Actually, the old body knows. Even if you don't give you this tiger talisman, you'll already be able to mobilize your troops. The old body knows everything in Jiangnan, and the captain was not killed by the Dongou people. Even Cheng helps you hide your old body from time to time. Looks like this should have changed. cough cough cough ......"
"Grandma......" Liu Che hurriedly helped the Queen Mother up and helped her relieve her back.
The small palace man next to him took a spittoon, and the queen mother spit out a hard mouthful of phlegm, which can be regarded as calming down.
"Recuperation is a national policy set by Taizu, and the old body has always implemented it. Take this tiger talisman. I am afraid that you will use swords and soldiers in a young and arrogant manner, and ruin the family wealth that the big man has accumulated with great difficulty.
When Emperor Hui, the old man entered the palace to serve Empress Lu as a son of the family. At that time, the shape of the world was completely different from today, and the court actually respected Empress Lu. Everyone in the Lu family is also a good minister and brave general, much stronger than those in the Dou family now. ”
"Grandma, how do you talk about this. You are tired, take plenty of rest. "There are some things that can't be said on the table, Liu Che saw that the Empress Dowager actually said what the Dou family thought. Hurriedly diverted the topic, trying to cover up the past. In his bones, Liu Che didn't want to talk about this topic with the Queen Mother.
He hated the capital of the Dou family, and he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would intercede. Faced with a dying old man, he really couldn't bear to say no.
"You let the old body say, there's no chance. If you don't say it today, maybe you won't be able to say it tomorrow. ”
The Empress Dowager broke away from Liu Che's hand, she didn't even know where she got such a strong strength when she couldn't even hold the tiger talisman just now.
"Empress Lu gave the old body to your grandfather, and later Zhou Bo pacified the rebellion of Zhulu. Overnight, Chang'an City was slaughtered. The people in the two houses were panicked, and as soon as the old body closed his eyes, he could remember the bloody scene at that time.
There can be no more turmoil like that, and the fate of the Han hangs by a thread. Millions of people are like before the abyss. Grandma served your grandfather and put power peacefully in your father's hands. and from the hand of thy father into thy hand. There was no more bloodshed, and the old body also hoped that the inheritance of the Han Empire would no longer be like that.
There are unstable factors everywhere in the Han Dynasty, why did Liu An, the king of Huainan, send the book of the king of Huainan to the old body. His mind knows that it is nothing more than the dragon chair that he is thinking about you. There are also those unscrupulous descendants of the Dou family jumping up and down, can their minds and old bodies not understand?
Fortunately, the Dou family has a Dou baby, who is a smart person. With him, there is still hope for the Dou family, and this world is still the world of the Liu family. You can't have the surname Lu, nor can you have the surname Dou.
Don't hate grandma. If they don't, they're all crabs in the mud. If it doesn't bubble, you won't be able to tell the difference. With grandma's scoop of water, it's time to bubble. ”
"Grandma, grandchildren don't hate you!" Liu Che's tears were like kites with broken strings, wetting his cheeks and heavy clothes.
"Don't cry, listen to grandma. Grandma has already instructed General Cheng from time to time, and he will obey you when grandma leaves. This is a pure military man, you can not reuse him, but you can trust him.
Grandma's biggest worry is your mother-in-law, who has a hot hand to deal with Kurihime. It can be seen that she is a vicious person, and after Kurihime's death, your father has seen your mother clearly.
But the mother is more expensive than the son, and the turmoil of changing the prince has just passed. If you get rid of your mother, the public opinion of the court will be against you, and you have fourteen brothers waiting to sit in this position. So...... Ay!
Later, when you ascended the throne, your grandmother had the idea of getting rid of her. But I'm afraid of breaking your heart, and grandma is also in a dilemma. preserved this mother-son relationship, but it also laid a curse for you. Grandma is really gone, and your mother will definitely come forward to intervene in the government.
She will definitely spare no effort to install the people of the Wang family in the imperial court, and she will also collude with your uncle Tian Wei to seize power. Grandma's departure, the foundation of the ancestors of this great man can all be entrusted to you. cough cough cough ......
As for the kid of the Yun family, although it has become the climate. But the old body looks like he doesn't have the intention of being the emperor, and your sister also said that he doesn't have this idea. You will believe her for the time being, once he shakes the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Then he contacted the kings, and the soldiers of the whole Han Dynasty could be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”
"Grandma!" Liu Che took the Empress Dowager's hand.
"The country of this Han is the world of our Liu family, can't it be in your hands...... You have to be worthy of your ancestors! The Empress Dowager held Liu Che's hand very strongly.
"Grandma, Yu'er must be worthy of your ancestors and worthy of you."
Liu Che cried with red eyes, and left Changle Palace with the world's sloppy talisman that symbolized the core of power. From now on, the Han court was truly in his hands. Liu Che secretly swore that he would not let anyone tainted this right again. Anyone, including their own mothers.
The night in Chang'an was extremely quiet, and the lonely Liu Che straightened his robe. With infinite sorrow, walking in the Weiyang Palace.
At this time, Chang'an City was already surging with undercurrents. The people of the Dou family were all concentrated in Dou Pengzu's house, and this rally included almost all the adult men of the Dou family. Naturally, except for the Dou Ying who swore to be an otaku.
"Big brother, what did you say about my aunt. If such a big thing happens in Jiangnan, don't talk to us. Just say a few words to Cheng from time to time, what is this called. Is my aunt old and confused, the imperial doctor can say ......"
"Shut up, this stinky mouth is not covered. Today is to discuss how to win the post of general of Zhengnan in the court tomorrow. There are so many people in our family in the imperial court, can't we still get rid of this position? ”
Dou Pengzu reprimanded Dou Yuan, but his eyes looked at Dou Yuan. In addition to the general Dou Ying, only Dou Yuan can handle it. But Dou Yuan had just been defeated by Canglan last year, and it was really necessary to waste his mind if he wanted to push him up.
"Why didn't the sixth man come, he really wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Without the sixth child, who are we promoting! (To be continued......)
