When Liu Che arrived at the East Palace, he just happened to see Guantao's carriage leave.

"How did the eldest princess enter the palace at this time?" Liu Che asked Wang Dao, "Go and check ...... me?"

When Wang Dao heard this, his neck shrunk and his back was cold.

This kind of thing was very common in the past.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess didn't say that she entered the palace before Pingming.

She can enter the palace at any time of the day for twelve hours a day.

On the road from the Pavilion Tao Mansion to the East Palace, no one dared to inspect and block the car of Princess Taichang.

This matter is not only an open secret, but also a fact that even the people in the market know.

However, as a eunuch, Wang Dao knows very well that he must not think too much.

People who think too much will die very early.

When the first emperor was Zhang De, he just thought too much.

Therefore, he bowed slightly, and said: "No, the slave maid will immediately call someone to check ......"

From the Pavilion Tao Mansion to the Changle Palace, you have to pass through two northern army camps and six outposts along the way.

There is no doubt that these battalion captains will soon be badly killed.

After all, according to the law, after the curfew, it is a big crime to enter and leave the palace without permission without the edict of the Son of Heaven or the Queen Mother.

And the people who let such three no-personnel enter and leave the palace without permission.

At worst, he will lose his official position, and at worst, he will lose his life.

Liu Che closed his eyes slightly, he felt that it was better than ever.

The carriage slowly drove into the palace walls of Changle Palace.

At this moment, it was already peaceful, the east belly was white, and the sky was gradually brightening.

Changle Palace also woke up from its slumber, and hundreds of eunuchs and maids began to clean up inside and outside the palace.

When many people saw the arrival of the Son of Heaven, they didn't know why, and looked at it with curiosity.

In fact, now, except for a few ministers and nobles, the whole world still doesn't know what happened last night.

Even in the history books thousands of years later, I am afraid that the events of last night will be kept secret.

Even, only in some corners and personal biographies.

Like the sound of the candle shadow axe in the history of the Song Dynasty, you can know that such a thing may have happened, but you can never be sure whether it exists.

Get off the car near the Yongshou Palace, Liu Che walked off the car as in the past, and then entered the main hall surrounded by the attendants, and immediately, many eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt down to greet him: "Your Majesty has no borders ......for longevity."

And Liu Che went straight forward, came to the hall, looked up at the Empress Dowager Dou and the Empress Dowager Bo who were sitting at the top, he bowed slightly, and said casually: "The son of the minister to meet the imperial grandmother, the queen mother, respectfully greet the imperial grandmother and the queen mother!" ”

"The emperor is here......" Empress Dowager Dou heard the sound and immediately said: "Hurry up and sit down beside the mourning family......

After Liu Che sat down, Dou took Liu Che's hand and asked, "Then can the Taimiao be disposed of?" ”

While saying, Dou also blamed himself: "Pinglu Hou and Honghou are mourning families who can't live with them......"

Liu Che raised his head slightly, looking like he had just woken up and didn't know anything: "Taimiao? What's the temple for? I don't know! ”

He turned his head and asked Wang Dao beside him, "Wang Dao, what happened to Taimiao?" Why is there no one to report to me? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty......" Wang Dao was also taken aback, but fortunately, he had been in the palace for so long, and he had already seen the wind and waves, so he was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, he tried his best to calm down, and pretended to be surprised and said: "The slave doesn't know what happened in the Taimiao? Why don't you ask the slave? ”

"Why don't you go soon?" Liu Che glared at him and said with a smile.

And the Dou family and the Bo family at the top were stunned when they heard it.

They are not stupid, of course they understand that this is the emperor deliberately whitewashing the peace.

Even, in Dou's heart, there are still warm currents surging.

"The emperor is really filial, for the sake of mourning the family, he actually took on such a big thing......" Dou thought in his heart.

The story of the previous dynasty refers to the deer as a horse, and the Empress Dowager Dou has not heard of it.

And in today's world, there is indeed only an emperor who can make something 'never happen'.

Such a move really moved Dou Shi.

I think I'm really lucky.

The son is filial, and the grandson is also filial.

I really have no regrets in this life!

Liu Che lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "There is bad news to inform the imperial grandmother and the queen mother: Pinglu Houli and Honghoufu were all killed yesterday!" Li Shizi Dao, Fu Shizi Deng, Gu, etc., because of excessive grief, also died in Fangcai...... I have ordered Taichang and Da Honglu to treat the funerals of the two clan elders and their brothers, and give them good ......"

"Pinglu and Honghou have passed away, and the heirs ......of Prince Yuan are no longer alive," Liu Che looked at Dou and asked: "How to deal with this Chu State Sheji, please take the imperial grandmother's idea!" ”

This is Liu Che's last temptation.

And it's a poison smeared with honey.

Dou naturally didn't know and didn't know this, she sighed slightly, and said: "Mourning the old family, the wish of the rest of my life, stay in the palace for a long time, pray for Taizong and the first emperor, this matter of the world, the emperor himself will make his own decision!" ”

She kindly stroked Liu Che's cheek and said: "The mourning family said back then, the emperor is very similar to Emperor Taizong, and now, it is even more similar, it is like a mold carved out, this Han family world and Jiangshan Sheji, just hand it over to the emperor!" ”

Her words also reminded Liu Che.

It seems that his imperial grandmother did say such things back then.

Liu Che remembered that it was next to the tiger pen in Shanglin Yuan.

That meeting was very helpful to him at that time.

It can even be said that paved the way for him to the Tai, Zi, and Gong - without the recognition and consent of the East Palace, it would be impossible for the crown prince of the Han family to be canonized.

"I may have ......gone too far," Liu Che also felt a little guilty in his heart, of course, he understood better that in the political arena, only the victor has the right to feel guilty and sympathetic.

It's like on the battlefield.

Where does the loser have the qualifications for guilt and compassion?

So this emotion only flashed in his heart.

"The imperial grandmother is serious...... Liu Che made a polite refusal: "In this world and the country, the imperial grandmother is still needed to ......"

But he only said one side, and was interrupted by Dou Shi: "The mourning family is old, and their eyes are blind, they really don't have that energy, this Chu State, Zhao State, and those government affairs, the emperor and the palace up, don't come to ask the mourning family from now on!" The mourning family has decided to take refuge in the west chamber of the Yongshou Hall from today onwards, concentrate on purity, and pray for the first emperor and Taizong and the emperor......"

"The will of the mourning family has been decided!" Dou said to Liu Che seriously: "The emperor and the queen mother don't persuade anymore!" ”

She held the dove staff of the Empress Dowager in her hand and ordered: "This is the order of the mourning family, and the emperor will be ordered to ...... immediately"

So, Liu Che had no choice but to bow his head in the case of 'stubborn but unacceptable': "No! ”

"Grandson is hereby ordered!"

……………………………………

When he got out of the Yongshou Palace, Liu Che immediately ordered the royal road beside him: "Order Yulin Wei to set up a camp in the place where the East Palace communicates with the outside world, and station a team of Yulin guards to protect the Empress Dowager Qingxiu, anyone who dares to disturb the Empress Dowager Qingxiu will be regarded as disrespectful!" ”

"No!" Wang Dao immediately received the order.

This is certainly not house arrest.

The Empress Dowager can still enter and exit the East Palace as she pleases and play everywhere.

It's just that all those who enter the East Palace from the outside will be restricted.

In normal times, Guantao, King Liang, and even the old ministers and lonely ministers of the first emperor and Taizong could enter and leave normally without hindrance—as long as they had legal procedures.

But at a critical moment, it becomes a black hole.

Liu Che's move is obviously just in case!

"Since the Empress Dowager is no longer willing to manage the government...... Liu Che instructed again: "The affairs of the Shaofu and the personnel of the Shaofu are no longer necessary to play the East Palace, and the Lantai will make a decision immediately!" ”

This is once the power is in hand, the order is made.

For a long time, the Shaofu Yamen was under the triple leadership.

The emperor, the East Palace, and the empress can all intervene or even dispose of the appointment and dismissal of officials from the top and bottom of the Shaofu.

Just like now, only two of the six young men in Shaofu were appointed by Liu Che.

Among the remaining four, there are those appointed by the Empress Dowager, those appointed by the Empress Dowager, and even those appointed by the Empress (Guantao).

Liu Che will not continue to tolerate such a situation.

Shaofu, the abyss of the country.

It's not the private ATM of his Dou family, Chen family, or even Liu family.

Although Liu Che couldn't block the tentacles of those clansmen and nobles in Shaofu for the time being.

But they must not be allowed to continue their unbridled rampage.

Targeted anti-corruption cannot be used in Shaofu.

Because, the situation of Shaofu is complex and the structure is bloated.

Relying solely on manpower, even if it is the power of the emperor, there is no ten or eight years, and it is not necessary to figure it out.

In that case......

"Then set up another plaque!"

Just like in later generations, if you can't kill the Ministry of Railways, you will establish a railway company.

Although it's just a change of vest, as soon as the nature changes, things will be easier.

The independent kingdom of the Ministry of Railways collapsed with a bang.

It's the same at the moment.

As long as the departments and institutions that are full of problems and drawbacks in the Shaofu are withdrawn from the Shaofu.

Without the protection and cover of the Shaofu, they will be exposed to the sun.

And the darkness exposed to the sun, will it still be dark?

Even if it doesn't work yet......

It's not a big deal to dissolve the department, re-hang a plaque, change the name, it won't cost much!

…………………………………………

On the next day, the entire Chang'an City was in a state of panic.

Countless gossip and gossip spread all over the world.

After all, there was too much noise and movement last night.

Even the transportation of the arsenal and Qili was closed, and a large number of troops set up barracks on the streets, leaving many traces on the road.

This can't help but open the brains of the gossip parties and make all kinds of speculations.

There are even legends that so-and-so plotted a coup d'état, but fortunately he was sanctioned by the loyal and brave northern and southern armies.

As for who this so-and-so is?

Countless people have been lying down with guns.

Even Liu Wu, the king of Liang who was far away in Suiyang, was unfortunately betrayed.

As for the fact that so-and-so can succeed in a coup d'état, this option does not exist.

The loyal and brave armies of the north and the south, as well as the Yulinwei and the Tiger Benwei, who guarded the Son of Heaven, were enough to crush any conspiracy.

Even so, there was a lot of panic in the market.

Even some guys with a strong sense of crisis have begun to prepare food and water reserves at home.

Fortunately, by the afternoon, most of the speculation and brain holes had been falsified.

The proclamation of the government was also pasted under the exposed cloth in every lu.

"Tianzi dreamed of a landslide in the southeast at night, and woke up and was shocked to hear: Pinglu Houli and Honghoufu and their sons are all ...... I couldn't help but mourn from my heart, so I went to the temple at night and accused the ancestors of ......"

This official statement quickly gained the trust of many people.

Of course, the veteran gossip party still smelled something wrong.

However, Xuandasi and Xiuyiwei, who were subordinate to the Shaofu, desperately preached such remarks everywhere, instilling this 'fact' into the minds of the people.

In addition, Liu Che openly took his brothers in the afternoon and went to Shanglinyuan for a safari, which eliminated the people's suspicions about mutiny and coup.

Since the Son of Heaven is fine, then everyone can naturally rest assured.

For the people of Chang'an City, as long as there is no danger in Weiyang Palace.

Others, even if they die a basket, will not do their business.

Besides, can this government still lie?

As a result, the so-called Tianzi Night Dream Southeast Landslide, waking up and the saying that the Yuan King has no queen has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, and has also solved the confusion of many people.

Before there was no evidence and other corroboration, even the most suspicious gossip party also obediently closed its mouth.

Other things can be gossiped casually.

But this kind of sensitive matter, if you are not careful, you will be invited to tea by the court captain, and even exiled for 3,000 miles.

The gossip parties are not stupid, so naturally they will not touch this mold.

Of course, in private, deep down, many people know that there are ghosts in this!

After another two or three days, public opinion and discussion in Chang'an finally calmed down.

No one even cares about the so-called 'coup' or 'mutiny' a few days ago.

Because, a bigger news happened.

Zhijin Wuzhi was all in Qufu, and sentenced 300 scholars, doctors, landlords and bureaucrats to death in one day!

The local county guard of the Han family, although he has been killing people like chickens all these years, is a random hack when he catches the local heroes and nobles who don't like it.

However, in the Qilu region, the Zhijin Wuzhi capital has successively let four princes and kings, eleven two thousand stones, thirty-five thousand stones, plus more than a thousand scholars, doctors, landlords and bureaucrats 'more than innocent'.

Except for the four princes and kings, and the hundreds of people they killed last winter.

The rest of the people are not dead yet.

Just sentenced to 'death'.

Because, now is spring, and soon it will be summer, not the season of execution.

According to the Han law, criminals can only be executed in winter (of course, for general crimes, felonies and major crimes, which can be directly executed).

Moreover, according to the order issued by Liu Che last year, the death penalty in all places must be personally approved and reviewed by him, the son of heaven.

This gave those Qilu landlords and scholars and bureaucrats a ray of life.

As a result, on the streets of Chang'an City, hundreds of Qilu people wearing filial piety clothes, kneeling step by step, shouting 'wronged' appeared.

Their arrival immediately stole the focus and attention of the entire Chang'an.

Didn't think about what's going on the other night?' ’

The gossip party was even more interested in joining the ranks of the onlookers to watch Qilu's grievances. (To be continued.) )
