The crimson blue sky seemed to have been overturned, and the thick black clouds piled up in a corner and intertwined with the starlight in starlight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info In the obscure twilight quadrangle, Gillian is holding a fan, the lotus flower is falling in front of her forehead, and a water red skirt contrasts her skin with soft and delicate light.

She turned sideways to look at Liu Che in a Xuanduan dress, he stood on a tall building and watched a team of more than 100 people composed of horses and camels set off in the night, his face was full of hope and expectation, he hoped that Zhang Qian would go west to bring back the good news of the alliance with the Dayue clan. She couldn't help but clench Liu Che's hand and whispered, "Your Majesty, go back to the palace." Zhang Qian's westward journey will not dishonor the king's life. ”

He nodded, but still reluctantly looked until he couldn't see before he was willing to go downstairs with Gillian. Along the way, he was silent and uncertain. When the two of them had washed up and lay on the bed, he suddenly asked Gillian: "Jiaojiao, what will happen to you if I am wrong?" ”

His thoughts this night did not belong to the people in the hall looked at him cautiously, and Gillian listened to his question without hesitation and asked him: "Would you be wrong?" Her eyes were as clear as starlight, and her words were sincere to startle him, and he was always right in Jiaojiao's eyes, no matter what he had to do.

He threw her in his arms, and Gillian lay on his chest to hear his laughter coming from his chest. After laughing, he said, "I'm starting to get scared too, Gillian." ”

Gillian raised her head from his arms and looked straight at Liu Che. Under the orange light, his face was half blocked by the light and shadow, and his expression was gloomy.

Since he ascended the throne, he has always been in a warm and combative mood, and he has not seen such a negative Gillian for a long time.

Liu Che saw that her face was full of worry, and pinched her face: "I have long been unwilling to put the safety of the country on the body of a weak woman as before, and I want to change all this." Zhang Qian's diplomacy is only the first step, Huang Lao's technique is about to change, what I am afraid of is not going wrong, what I am afraid of is not going bad. ”

The country and the society are tied to one person, and the rise and fall of success or failure is also in one person. Even if he knew that he was on the right path, he had to admit that he would be afraid when he thought of his father's dying instructions and the lights of thousands of homes when he climbed high and looked into the distance.

After becoming the emperor, others never showed any weakness. Gillian knew that he could succeed, and he could bring glory to the Han family that had never been there. However, I never knew that this road was so difficult, even Liu Che himself would be afraid.

She nestled into his arms, tossed and turned, biting her lip, and her tone was more serious than ever: "Che'er, remember? During the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, you told me so firmly that you would cut Tibet. Every year, when the Huns committed the border news, you were so angry that you could hardly sleep all night. Your determination has been made since you were a child, and you have put less effort into it? We all know that this is the right path, and if you can't do it right, no one will succeed. ”

Her words stirred up a huge wave in his heart, and he looked at Gillian in almost disbelief. He likes Gillian and has liked this delicate and soft cousin who adores her since he was a child. But it was like getting to know her for the first time.

He always thought that Gillian liked him because she admired him, and believed in him because she liked him. It was the first time he understood so clearly that Gillian believed that he could do the unfinished business of the Han family for generations because he understood him. His chest was slightly hot, and the joy and emotion piled up in his heart made him speechless for a while.

Gillian made him blush slightly, and no matter how much encouragement he spoke, he couldn't go on. Liu Che sighed softly, as if he was spitting out the unhappiness in his heart, and seemed to tilt out the initial shock.

The cool breeze was blowing in the cool hall, and the night was getting deeper.

Even the rain does not know the spring, and the summer is deep when it is sunny. The sky is gradually entering the height of summer, the clear blue sky is hot without a trace of clouds, and the palace people who come and go are almost wet with sweat from the heat from the scorching hot earth, and only the cicadas resting on the trees are crying happily.

In the cool hall, there was a coolness, which seemed to isolate the summer heat from the world.

Gillian was hot and bored, and it was difficult to sit in the temple. From time to time, I got up to look at the leak of the pot, and waited anxiously for the news from the Xuanmur Palace.

A few people stood beside Haitang, and they were also sitting on pins and needles. Even Yulan, who has always been good at words, is silent and speechless.

Gillian sat on the couch and her thoughts raced, and she tried to calm herself down. He took a deep breath and told himself not to panic.

Liu Che will break through the Huns, celebrities through the ages.

The Empress Dowager is his own grandmother, and the worst thing will not happen. But the bad thing is that Liu Che, who gradually grasped the power and realized that Wan Hai surrendered in a word, was anxious, or was given courage by the Queen Mother, who had been silent. What's more, recently, the princes and nobles of the clan have been in tandem in private, and entering and leaving the East Palace has become more and more frequent.

The young and vigorous emperor finally couldn't hold back under the encouragement of the Confucian ministers, and the palace guards were controlled by Wang Zang by Langzhong, and the Han army in Beiying was controlled by Taiwei Tian Wei himself. It was decided that the imperial historian Zhao Juan would present a fold, and asked all the emperors of state affairs in the future not to report to the East Palace!

Once in front of the Manchu civil and military forces in the court, Liu Che approved this recital, which means that the Empress Dowager of Changle Palace can no longer interfere in the government affairs in the future, which has passed the legal procedure.

However, the power of the Empress Dowager, who has been immersed in the government for decades, is deeply rooted in the court, and it is far from being as easy to pull as Liu Che thought. The plan went smoothly, but when Zhao Huang asked for it, Liu Che was about to approve it. The palace almost knelt down and most of the courtiers couldn't cry, and even brought out the words of the Empress Dowager in the edict of Emperor Jing to cry in front of the palace.

Wang Zang, Dou Ying and several important ministers looked at each other, and they all shook their heads and sighed, knowing that it couldn't be done. Although Li Guang, the guard of Weiyang Palace, has always been loyal to the forbidden army in the palace, the soldier is still in the hands of the Empress Dowager, not to mention that Cheng Buzhi, the guard of Changle Palace, was originally the confidant of the Empress Dowager. What you want in this matter is to be caught off guard quickly, and the whole dynasty can't react. As a result, the man cried up and down, and his persuasion was not feasible, and he was beaten down at the beginning.

Liu Che was angry, looked at this hall with a cold face, and cried, he couldn't change the ancestral system, he couldn't abandon the edict of the first emperor, and he didn't care about the courtiers in the palace. He had always thought that he was the emperor, but at this moment he realized that he only thought he was. finally understood why the Empress Dowager had been so silent, she had a plan, she watched Liu Che toss like a child.

He stood up, holding the piece that had been presented to him, and was about to speak with a cold face. Outside the hall, there was a long announcement from the Yellow Gate: The Empress Dowager has arrived.

The hall full of people instantly fell silent, and everyone was stunned.

Dou Yifang walked into the hall step by step with a crutch made of rare gloomy wood.

The shriveled and lean but imposing old queen mother in the Manchu Dynasty kneeling down walked calmly to Liu Che's side and said softly: "Zhongqing, let's be even." ”

Then while sitting down with the support of the maid, he said to Liu Che kindly: "The emperor won't blame the mourning family for coming uninvited, right?" ”

Liu Che clenched his fists in his sleeves, and let go of his clenched teeth, and he almost made a voice from between his teeth: "Grandson doesn't dare." ”

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded in the direction of Liu Che, and then said lightly to the courtiers as if chatting: "I heard that the emperor has an issue, and it happens that the old body also has it, and Wu Qiang waits for Zhuang Qingzhai!" The tone went to the back, bringing out a bit of sharp blades.

Zhuang Qingzhai came out of the list of ministers and said respectfully: "The ministers are here." ”

The Empress Dowager said calmly: "Don't you also have a copy there?" Present it to the Emperor for the Emperor to see. ”

"Yes." Zhuang Qingzhai replied respectfully, took a piece of the fold from his bosom and handed it to Liu Che to the waiter of the Yellow Gate.

The ministers held their breath and waited for things to unfold.

Only Dou Ying closed her eyes dejectedly since the Empress Dowager came in, and she didn't say a word in the crowd. The Empress Dowager has not fallen for three dynasties, especially in the later period of Emperor Wen, his red face is no longer coupled with serious eye diseases and almost blindness, Mrs. Shen favors the harem, and Dou Yifang's status is not precarious. However, the fact that she can still stand here and look at the storm is enough to prove that she has not come to this day by being pampered alone.

Since the Empress Dowager came in, although she spoke softly, the atmosphere in the hall was as tight as a bow that was about to break. Everyone understood that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and Liu Che even understood that the invisible control of the Empress Dowager Dou, which he had felt since he was the crown prince, was still there, but he didn't want to be like his father all his life.

He straightened up more and more, and began to fold. The kung fu of one glance and ten lines cultivated since he was a child made him finish the twists and turns in an instant. The illegal things committed by Zhao Juan and Lang Zhongling, the imperial historians who participated in the performance, are well-founded, and Zhao Juan and Wang Zang have been caught five or six years ago. He closed the fold with a white face and closed his eyes in pain.

Zhao Juan and Wang Zang had an ominous premonition and glanced at each other.

The Empress Dowager turned her face slightly: "Emperor, how is this recital?" Is the emperor ready to play? Or let the courtiers discuss? Although her voice was soft, it clearly spread throughout the quiet hall, and there was a majesty in her words that could not be refused.

Liu Che closed the fold, opened his eyes and drank lightly: "Li Guang, the guard of Weiyang Palace!" His eyes were like lightning, and the proud ministers of Huang Lao in His Highness's heart almost didn't dare to look directly at his edge.

Li Guang, who was wearing a sword and heavy armor, entered from the front of the palace: "The minister is here!" ”

Liu Che said in a low tone but without turning back: "Imperial historian Zhao Juan and Lang Zhongling Wang Zang, for the crime of profiteering, will be dismissed from office and sent to prison pending trial!" ”

The ministers were in an uproar, and Li Guang looked at Zhao Juan and Wang Zang in confusion, but the two of them had already taken off their official hats and walked towards Li Guang automatically, and the guards who came up escorted them down the hall.

There was almost death-like silence in the hall, Liu Che's heart was like ashes, and he knew that he was also dying with his new policy. He turned to the Empress Dowager and asked without a smile, "What does the Imperial Grandmother think?" ”

The Empress Dowager had already stood up in the support of the maids, her eyebrows and eyes were calm, and her words were soft: "Very good, the emperor needs to remember that the old body is blind and the heart is not blind." ”

The ministers bowed again: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother." The Empress Dowager stood before leaving the hall, and her voice was unprecedentedly excited: "Aragaki Ping is not just pretending to be a god in front of Emperor Wen, changing the name of the year, and building the Temple of the Five Emperors of Weiyang, and making a great gift of sealing Zen to worship heaven and earth, and the result is a set of deception." Aragaki Taira was exterminated by the first emperor. Does anyone in the DPRK want to learn from him now? ”

No one in the palace dared to respond, and the Empress Dowager changed her words: "Last year, in October, Liu An, the king of Huainan, entered Beijing to present "Honglie", Huang Lao and his words were very systematic and thorough, and all the ministers should take a look." The ministers said yes, and the Empress Dowager added another sentence: "The emperor has to take a look at it, learn how to govern the court!" ”

Liu Che stood on the Xuanshu Hall with his hands in his hands, his eyes were cold to the bone, and his face was cloudy, so that people couldn't see the details clearly.
