The sun's afterglow faded into the sky, and the sunset stained most of the sky red.

Liu Che sat facing north, sitting on the couch of the Zhangde Palace, symbolizing the authority of the Han Emperor's legal system, the white snake sword, tied to his waist, the jade seal that was passed down in later generations, and the sword of Liu Bang hung on his waist at this moment, the twelve beads of the Son of Heaven hung down from his forehead, and the black Son of Heaven was solemn and solemn.

Under the imperial steps, Taichang Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu held a silk book and read: "Fu Wei Majesty Xià is a dry and a kun, moving yin and yang, the size of the ministers is undecided in the Changqiu Palace, obeying the old classics, the chapter table is still heard, and it lasts to listen." Yi Yun: Received by Zi Jiezhi, the poem said: Thousands of blessings, hundreds of billions of descendants. Fang Jin is very lucky, His Majesty Xià is enthroned, the four seas are leveled, the sea is clear and the river is Yan, the Duchang Autumn Palace is undecided, the ministers and concubines have no longevity, the dedication of the silkworm room, no one presides over the ......"

Liu Che sat on the dragon seat and listened, but his heart was tumbling upside down.

This Dou Pengzu, this is forcing the palace!

Today's agenda should only be to canonize Xia Rouge, who was married by the Huns, as a concubine, but it does not include the queen!

Come to think of it, there is no one else who can do things so impatiently and eat so ugly, except for the eldest princess of the pavilion!

Of course, the second and third generations within the Dou family may have played a role in fueling the flames.

Originally, Liu Che had already negotiated an agreement with the Empress Dowager to establish the queen, and at the turn of the summer and autumn of next year, Chen Ajiao would be officially canonized as the queen.

However, now it seems that the Dou family can't wait so long for a year.

They wanted to set the tone now, so they took advantage of today's opportunity to make a surprise attack.

I have to admit it. They had a good timing!

In the political tradition of the Han family, he was the owner of the Shufang Hall of the Changqiu Palace. It is generally decided two to three months after the emperor's accession to the throne, and then canonized.

This is because. The Han dynasty advertised that it ruled the world with filial piety.

This sacrifice to the ancestral gods is an extremely important step in the Han Dynasty's politics.

In the sacrificial activities of the Han family, the Son of Heaven led the civil and military officials and the princes and ministers to offer money to the ancestral temple, and the queen led the wives of the ministers to offer silkworm silk to the ancestral temple, which were all very important and indispensable political activities.

Theoretically, if there is no queen, then no one can lead the wives of the ministers and officials to dedicate themselves to the temple.

And in the Han room. This kind of sacrificial activity, which must be held at the beginning of the year every year, can be said to be as important as the two sessions held every year in the later Celestial Empire.

Through this event, the emperor was able to reaffirm the sanctity of his imperial power.

More importantly, this was also a means used by the Han family to attack and weaken the power of the liehous.

In later history, the excuse for the famous gold boycott of the Little Pig Dynasty was that the marquis did not pay enough money, so the little pig seized the excuse and took away the titles and fiefs of more than 100 marquis.

However, using the excuse of drinking money to abolish the country is not the original of Little Pig.

History of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, there are not one or two unlucky ghosts who are unlucky.

There was even a liehou, just because the amount of money dedicated to the temple sacrifice was only four taels less than the prescribed amount, he was grabbed by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen and abolished the feudal country. Degraded to commoners.

In the Han family, which pursues filial piety to rule the world.

The amount of money offered to the ancestors is insufficient, and the fineness is insufficient. All mean unfilial piety!

And unfilial piety is a capital crime!

On the other hand, the princes were not good enough because of their offerings. The number is insufficient, and the cool law is applied.

This is a ceremony to offer silkworm silk to the ancestors of the temple. If it can't be held because there is no queen, what should the emperor be guilty of?

From this level, it is indeed an urgent matter for Liu Che to be established.

It's July, and three months later, it's the beginning of the year.

And the post-establishment process will not be completed in a month or two.

In other words, if Liu Che doesn't decide to establish a queen now, then it is likely that the queen will not be able to enter the Shufang Hall of Changqiu Palace before the arrival of the New Year.

It's just that......

Liu Che's afterglow swept Dou Pengzu's body.

Of course, Liu Che knew that this was a test by the Dou family's foreign relatives group.

The armed forces of Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace were firmly controlled by Liu Che, the emperor.

And the various yamen in Guanzhong will also be firmly controlled by Liu Che after this examination.

If this development continues, Liu Che's authority will become stronger and stronger day by day, and will become more and more stable day by day.

It is likely that after half a year, Liu Che will be able to tear up the previous agreement with Guantao and choose the queen according to his preferences.

Although it is said that as long as the Empress Dowager is still there, as the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for Liu Che to disobey the Empress Dowager's opinion.

However, everything is afraid of what happens.

What if the Empress Dowager is the same as the Empress Dowager Bo?

At that time, whether the Son of Heaven will keep his promise or not is two different things.

Regarding Dou's thoughts, Liu Che's heart was as bright as a mirror.

He knew even more that although the Dou family played this trick, it was too ugly to eat.

But he could not express any dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he should agree to Dou's request in its entirety.

Because, at present, Liu Che knows that his wings are not yet full, and for many problems, he also needs to use the power of Donggong and Dou's relatives to exert influence on other factions in the court.

More importantly, with the progress of the examination, thousands of officials will enter the political arena every year through the channel of the examination.

The power of these people will become stronger and stronger, and eventually, they will replace the existing political forces, and they will inevitably dominate the political arena.

And this is what Liu Che does not want to see.

What the fuck will a purely civilian government do, you can guess with your ass!

If you look at the two songs, you can know that the civil officials are the sworn enemies of the army!

If the civil government is allowed to dominate the government of the Han dynasty in the future, then, Liu Che has no doubt that the damage caused by these guys to the army will be greater than the damage done by all enemies to the army of the Han family!

Isn't there a joke in the afterlife?

The number of warplanes and warships downed by Midi's Senate is the square of all the warplanes and warships that Midi has lost in all wars.

Therefore, Liu Che must prop up a political force that can compete with the civilian bureaucracy.

The tradition of the Han family has always been to contain the princes and ministers with their relatives, and then use the princes to contain the civil officials, and use the civil officials to deal with the relatives.

But this fragile balance will completely break down after the examination becomes popular and begins to occupy the channel of the main source of officials.

As the emperor, Liu Che had to take precautions and find an evenly matched opponent for the civil bureaucracy.

And this adversary must and can only be an army that represents the violent machine of expansion, aggression, killing, and conquest.

However, the army has been an unruly monster since ancient times.

If you are not careful, you may be eaten by it.

For example, the Tang Dynasty was bitten to half by the army at its most glorious moment.

Therefore, before supporting the military, Liu Che had to transform the current military system and command system.

And this matter requires Dou's full cooperation! (To be continued......)
