MoreChapter 18 Pro-Government

Liu Zhao ordered Dou Xian to return to Beijing, and in early May, Dou Xian was ready to return to Beijing. The people and horses were mighty, and they set off to Beijing, and the people in one middle school looked sideways, and there were countless officials who were in the house.

Liu Zhao has received countless letters of impeachment against Dou Xian, and the bookcase is already full of letters of impeachment. Every time he looked at one, his heart was heavy, but this heaviness could not be shown in front of Dou Hou.

He just put these pieces in front of Dou Hou one by one, without making a sound.

Of course Empress Dou saw it, but she ignored it, according to her words, her brother has made a great contribution, and it is inevitable that some people will be red-eyed and hot-hearted, and they will be framed arbitrarily, so why bother with it.

But the little emperor's way of governing the country at the beginning could not be ignored, so he took a few unlucky people who were corrupt and perverted the law, destroyed the dynasty, and bought and sold officials, and let Liu Zhao deal with it himself.

Liu Zhao was very happy when he saw it, but he still went to Liu Qingfu and asked Li He about it.

Li He listened to Liu Zhao's detailed description of the situation, and was not surprised, "Things are not confusing!" His delicate face, under the reflection of the water, flashed with circles of light and shadow, making it difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

He flicked the fishing rod, but he didn't stare at the water, pondered, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, there is no temptation in this move!" ”

Liu Qing stood alone and listened to the conversation between Liu Zhao and Li He, but his heart was twisted, and he interjected: "Sir, do you think so?" I think that such a non-trivial treatment has a deep meaning. ”

Liu Zhao turned his head to look at his silhouette, Liu Qing was a head taller than him, his long figure was slightly thin, and the Ruyi pearl crown made him more delicate and white. His eyes were slightly larger than his own, and he always had a look of apprehension that was sometimes unbearable to look at.

He had heard some rumors in the palace that Liu Qing's mother was forced to death by the Dou family, if it was true, how deep pain and helplessness his brother's heart should be. For so many years, they have eaten and lived together, but Liu Qing has taken care of him and let him do everything. At that time, when my father was still there, he often held one on his left and one on his right, and loved them like treasures. But now that his father has passed away, how sad will my brother be?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but walk over, took Liu Qing's hand, and said softly: "Brother, you and I are in the palace together, and you must know a little bit about the thoughts of the queen mother." ”

"Not bad!" Liu Qing's face was even paler, and the pain that had been pent up in his heart for a long time seemed to be about to explode, but he saw Li He staring at him, cold, as mean as ice.

He stroked his face vigorously and softened his tone, but his heart burned as if it was burned by charcoal.

"When I say this, I mean that I have just taught you the principles of governing the country, and it will depend on how well you perform. So she's not really going to let you deal with these guys. He turned his face to Liu Zhao, "Your Majesty, you have to be careful!" ”

Li He looked at the two brothers and suddenly smiled: "It doesn't have to be like this, Your Majesty, what do you think of these people?" ”

Liu Zhao sighed deeply: "Sir doesn't know, my desk every day is a mountain of impeachment, every time I see the sore spot, my heart is like a fire, the court accumulates evils, that is my Han Dynasty's country, these people eat my Han Dynasty's Fenglu, but do things that make me hate deeply, I hate it in my heart!" ”

Li He listened silently, Liu Zhao was so heartfelt, and even told himself what he thought in his heart, he was very uncalm in his heart, and said after a long time: "Your Majesty, any court will have drawbacks, just like people will get sick, and this disease can be big or small, if it is big, it will endanger the national body, and if it is small, it will be like a moth, and over time, it will also make people feel painful." ”

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Liu Zhao with a sad and indignant face, and said: "The Dou family has been in business since the time of the first emperor, from the public to the junior officials, and it has become intertwined and formed a towering tree. His Majesty wants to cut it off with a saw, and it is not easy to say. Therefore, I don't think that I have the intention of testing Your Majesty, but just looking at this mountain of twists and turns, if you ignore them, for Your Majesty, it is really unreasonable, so I have to take some dispensable people to practice for Your Majesty. ”

After saying this, Liu Zhao and Liu Qing glanced at each other, and the surprise in their hearts was so great that it was really difficult to express in words. The wind rose, and the water in the pool rippled in layers, like their hearts, stacked on top of each other, and weighed a thousand times.

"That being the case, then I will dismiss all of them tomorrow, and it is not a pity for these moths to die!" Liu Zhao gritted his teeth and said.

Li Ren shook it, "Your Majesty, let Your Majesty deal with it, why don't you tell Your Majesty how to deal with it, she doesn't have a deep meaning in this!" ”

Liu Qing asked, "Didn't Mr. just say that she asked His Majesty to practice her hands?" ”

"Yes, it's a practice of hands, but how to practice this hand still needs to take some effort." Li He watched the fishing line in the water swing in the waves, and his tone seemed a little heavy.

Liu Zhao sat on his body, his clear eyes reflected the water, changing fascinated by the same color. "Sir, you speak, I listen to you."

Li He didn't look at him, and then said, "Your Majesty, if he is a soldier who has just entered the battlefield, how will he behave?" ”

Liu Zhao thought for a while and said: "There are two situations, one is afraid, trembling, and at a loss, and the other is that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, dares to fight and kill, and is reckless, which is actually a sign of fear." ”

Li He smiled and nodded, secretly praising the young emperor for his cleverness, "Yes, Your Majesty, you are now like a soldier who has just entered the battlefield, you can't behave calmly, rushing forward and killing is the best policy." ”

Liu Qing also came over and said, "What does Mr. mean is to let His Majesty be more ruthless, and kill him when he should be killed?" His heart pounded, and he looked at Li He with burning eyes.

Li He nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty, do you understand?" ”

Liu Zhao looked at his face and said for a long time: "Sir, most of these people are people recommended by Dou Xian for promotion, if I am strict, won't I annoy them?" ”

Li He saw that he was messed up, and secretly said that he was still a child, so he said: "Your Majesty, the queen is respectful to Your Majesty, afraid of points, and control, but it will never harm Your Majesty's intentions." It is known both inside and outside the court that His Majesty is the child of the queen, and sooner or later you will be in power, and when the time comes, she will retreat to the harem and not interfere too much. So she is actually trembling and unwilling to embarrass His Majesty. It's just that now that Dou Xian is outside, with heavy troops in hand, and His Majesty has not yet reached the time of pro-government, the so-called time is not ripe, so we have to be cautious and refuse to reveal our purpose. ”

Liu Zhao let out a long breath when he heard him say this, as if he let go of a stone in his heart: "Sir, if I let it go, I won't be angry in the future, right?" ”

"No, not only will she not, but she will be frightened, and she will have more respect for His Majesty, she just wants to see what His Majesty will do, if Your Majesty is weak, just a small disposition, she will only feel that Your Majesty is not a usable person, disappointed, will be even more reluctant to let go. And if Your Majesty is bold and decisive, and she is ruthless, she will let the queen feel that once Her Majesty takes power, she may make her Dou clan in danger, and she will do everything possible to please Your Majesty and make Her Majesty more grateful to her. A woman is selfish, she will not be strong enough to really be the emperor herself, she still wants to rely on her son sooner or later, so if Your Majesty is tough, she will be cautious later, or she will return to your Majesty faster. Li He watched the fishing rod on the water move, then lifted the fishing rod, and a golden carp jumped out of the pond, like a glow reflecting the water surface, a golden light for a while, reflecting the pond in the brilliance.

Liu Zhao stood up straight, puffed up his chest to face the steep spring breeze, he believed in Li He, and also believed in what Li He said, even if there was a storm in front of him, he had to use his small body to carry it.

The next day, Liu Zhao ordered on the spot that more than 40 officials were executed, dismissed, and exiled. The officials headed by Yuan An and Ren Kui clapped their hands and applauded, Fu Deng Biao couldn't get sick, and Dou Xian's party was in chaos.

Unexpectedly, the corpse was surprisingly calm, and a few days later, Empress Dou issued a decree that His Majesty would be held on the ninth day of the fifth month as His Majesty's pro-government ceremony.

This is a great thing for Liu Zhao, who has already held a coronation ceremony on the nineteenth day of the first lunar month. It was supposed to be held at the same time as the coronation ceremony and the pro-government ceremony, but it was postponed for a long time, and Liu Zhao's heart was extremely excited. He immediately ordered that the new etiquette formulated by Cao Bao be used to hold a pro-government ceremony.

Cao Bao is a master of etiquette, the emperor's coronation ceremony was completed by him, held solemnly, I thought that the next step would be the pro-government ceremony, but unexpectedly waited for a few months, received the appointment, he immediately began to prepare.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, before Dou Xian returned to the palace, Liu Zhao finally fulfilled his first wish in his life. After the temple was sacrificed, the school captain set up the golden chair in the east of the suburban altar, facing the south, and set up the crown in front of the golden chair. The ministers of the public command, the officials looked at the chairs and knelt down: "The sacrifice is completed, please take the emperor's throne." The ministers supported Liu Zhao to sit on the chair, the officials arranged the shift first, and the deacon Liu Wu came to him with the crown and the treasure case.

The ministers knelt in the crown and placed them on the table. Yuan An trembled excitedly with his hands, and took the crown with his own hands to wear on Liu Zhao's body. Then the public returned to the class and sang in unison: "Schedule." ”

After the shift was arranged, the ministers bowed and played music. Then the ministers bowed, flattened, and rejoiced. Then bow again, flatten, and be happy. Tongzan then led the public to Liu Zhao and sang: "Kneel, wat and wat." "The public wat is inherited, and everyone kneels when they sing. The treasure officer opened the box and took out the imperial treasure and gave it to Yu Song You.

Song You said with a treasure: "The emperor ascends the throne, and the ministers are respectful of the imperial treasure." Then Shang Baoqing accepted the treasure and put it in the box. The Tongzan Guan then sang again: "Bow, bow and rejoice, bow and rejoice, level the body, bow and bow, dance, kneel on the left knee, kowtow, call the mountain for the year, call again, kneel on the right knee, and go out of the wat." After the official finished the steps sung by the Tongzan official, Liu Zhao was relieved. Every time he bowed, Yuan An Ren Kui burst into tears, the young emperor finally came to power, and he finally saw the light after his conscientious hard work, and it seemed that every time he bowed, they made their heavy hearts lighter and lighter.

I heard the praise officer sing again: "Roll class." The official stepped down, and the salute was over.

Liu Zhao also has a thin guide, a temple, a book of treasures, a posthumous respect for the four generations of exams, concubines, and etiquette. After that, also towards the court.

First of all, the crown will be enshrined in the ancestral hall, and the official will congratulate him. Then the official leader was in place, Liu Zhao wore a crown and ascended to the throne, and the music was played until the music stopped.

The general rolled up the curtain, Shang Baoqing held the imperial treasure and put it on the case, and the arch guard sounded the whip, leading the military attache into the Danqi worship seat, and stood to the north. Lezuo, the official knelt and bowed nine times under the guidance of the Tongzan official. At this point, the emperor officially became a pro-government ceremony
