The Jade Gate Pass was lost.

This news not only shocked the entire Tianhan, but the other foreign clans did not expect that Loulan would win.

That Tianhan, who has been strong for 1,000 years, has finally ushered in its end?

Other countries around Cheonhan began to stir, and Goryeo took the lead in attacking Yeongju.

Not to be outdone, Nanban began to harass Jian'an.

For example, in the surrounding frontiers of the Han Dynasty today, except for the east side by the sea, which has not been harassed by Dongying for the time being, the other three sides have broken out in different degrees of war.

However, what worries the people of Tianhan is that the internal chaos of Tianhan has also become more chaotic, after learning the news that Yumen Pass was lost and Changli was killed in battle, the new emperor of Luoyang discussed with the ministers who should send to lead the troops to recover Yumen Pass.

However, He Tu, the powerful king of Zhennan, vetoed the result of everyone's deliberations, believing that if he wanted to fight outside, he must first settle inside, but was ready to get rid of the many princes who fled Luoyang.

Just this time, the former three princes, and now the new emperor finally did not listen to his advice, but argued with reason, and finally directly ordered him to send troops to subdue Yumen Pass and save the people of the Western Regions.

However, He Tu, the king of Zhennan, just smiled coldly and said something that made the third prince who thought he had won the victory feel cold.

"Do you really think you're the emperor?"

Facing the new emperor who collapsed on the dragon chair powerlessly, and the angry gaze of the ministers in the palace, He Tu snorted coldly and led people away directly.

is like a nursery rhyme in the mouth of a child in Luoyang:

The emperor is not the emperor, and the king is not the king.

The whole of Luoyang is in the hands of He Tu, and no matter what the new emperor's will is, it must be approved by her before it can be implemented.

If the other party didn't go against his will, then she wouldn't mind letting her stupid nephew play for a few more days.

But if the other party insists on going against himself, then he will let the other party recognize who is the real king.

It has been almost 1,000 years since Khan was born, and the Liu family had also been the emperor for 1,000 years, so it was time to change to another family.

Although his He family is only from a businessman's background, he He Tu thinks that he is wise and martial is not inferior to Gaozu or Emperor Wu, and if he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to try what this throne is like.

His stupid sister and nephew had always thought they were here to help them.

The daughter who marries out, spills the water.

He wasn't stupid enough to waste his army for the people of the Liu family.

The palace compound that night.

The third prince, who had just boarded the plane for a few months, was furious in the imperial study, smashed the prepared dinner and wine, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire palace trembled.

He never imagined that she was a puppet in the hands of that uncle.

He knew that the uncle was now in power, and he would definitely have some thoughts that he shouldn't have, but he believed that after a while, when he assessed other rebellions, he could easily destroy the other party's careful thoughts as long as it changed hands.

But he didn't expect that the other party would take the lead without waiting for him to do it, or that he should not have thought carefully after receiving his news.

"Your Majesty, King Zhennan has just entered the palace to see the Queen Mother."

An old eunuch walked in and glanced at the little eunuch and palace opening that was all over the ground and trembling.

The new emperor's face became even more gloomy.

"How long has he been there?"

The old eunuch replied: "I left in about half an hour." ”

The new emperor kicked over the desk in front of him, this big Luoyang, this deserted palace, he didn't know if he could trust his mother now.

"Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon's body."

The old eunuch spoke.

"How can I have time to care about my body? 1000 years since the creation of Li Tianhan by the ancestor of Gaozu, I Liu Jia has always been the master of the world, to me, there was a relative to interfere in politics, I have become a puppet of others, you let me take care of the dragon body, you let me be angry, but how can I be angry? How to take care of the dragon's body. ”

The old eunuch didn't speak, he knew he didn't need to say anything.

The new emperor did not speak again.

After a long pause, he spoke:

"Is there any way to get rid of him?"

The old eunuch's head was pressed very low, so low that the new emperor couldn't see his face clearly:

"Now Luoyang is the king of Zhennan up and down except for the palace, and if you want to get rid of him, you can only do it in the palace."

The new emperor's face was very ugly.

"I know this, so of course He Tu also knows it."

The old eunuch raised his head, and the new emperor saw a hint of cruelty in his wrinkled face:

"So, we need someone who can get him to voluntarily let down his guard and attack."

The new emperor took a deep breath and spoke: "After all, it is her biological brother, and she is also surnamed He." ”

The old eunuch's piercing eyes reflected a hint of mockery: "It is your mother, and at the same time Your Majesty the Queen Mother of this drought, Your Majesty should not underestimate the determination of a mother to protect my son." ”

The new emperor was silent, and after a while, when she spoke, suddenly a little eunuch bent over and walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has summoned the New Year to pass, and there is something to discuss."

The new emperor looked at the old eunuch, who buried his face in his chest again with an expressionless face.

The puppet emperor took a deep breath and spoke to the little eunuch:

"Tell the Queen Mother, I'll be there soon."

"Whoa!"

As the most powerful woman in the Han Dynasty today, she and the Empress Dowager lived in one of the most prosperous palaces in the entire imperial palace.

It was obviously winter, but there were fresh fruits on the table, and many of them were unseen by ordinary people.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

The new emperor made a false salute to the Empress Dowager He, who was sitting on the chair.

Empress Dowager He hurriedly helped him up, looked at her son with a satisfied smile, and then glanced at the many palace maids and eunuchs in the hall and spoke:

"You guys retreat first, the mourning family has something to discuss with Your Majesty."

"Whoa!"

Many little eunuchs and palace maids bowed down and exited the room one after another, and the personal palace maids who finally walked out closed the door by the way.

The new emperor looked at his mother and asked:

"The queen mother summoned her sons here late at night, I don't know what important things to discuss?"

When he said this, a trace of uneasy, perceptible vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Empress Dowager He instantly showed a sad expression on her face, and then pulled her son to sit down.

"I've heard everything that happened in the court today."

The expression on the new emperor's face did not change in the slightest, and he listened quietly.

Empress Dowager He continued to speak:

"Just now your uncle came to me in the palace and told me what he thought."

The new emperor still didn't speak, and the Empress Dowager He frowned and asked:

"Don't you want to know what she's talking about?"

Although the new emperor was extremely nervous in his heart, he said with an indifferent smile on his face:

"If the queen mother wants to say it to her son, then the son doesn't need to ask, and she will know, if the queen doesn't want her son to know, what if she asks?"

Empress Dowager He looked at her eldest son stunned, and then smiled: "The emperor has grown up, and the queen mother has always treated you as a child, now that I think about it, you are already the son of heaven in this country, and you are no longer the child who follows the queen mother and needs the protection of the queen mother." ”

The new emperor's heart twitched a little, and Empress Dowager He's words reminded him of when he was still young, and the other party would tell her every night what to guard against in the palace, who should pay attention to what and what to do, and how to please the emperor, and this queen mother did give him her heart.

As he grew up, he found that although this mother was very good at intrigue and pleasing people, she was surprisingly stupid in big things, and gradually she had her own staff, and he would discuss and decide some things with his staff.

Only when there is no way to solve something, will I habitually find myself as I did when I was a child, and this queen mother will discuss.

When the child is older, his mind will naturally be heavy, He Tu is very well disguised, for more than two months, the other party has respected him, at least on the surface, he sees this.

It was not until today that the other party revealed his wolf ambitions, perhaps because of the loss of Yumen Pass, the 100,000 army belonging to the court is estimated to never come back, and the troops in other places are not something that he, the emperor with an unjustified name, can mobilize.

Therefore, the other party felt that there was no need to cover it up anymore, anyway, everything in Luoyang was already under his control, and the news he didn't want the world to know naturally couldn't be spread out of this Luoyang.

When he knew that He Tu had a different mind to help him ascend to the throne from the beginning, he doubted his mother.

After all, the Queen Mother's surname is He, he has a reason, and he suspects that the other party has long known his uncle's plan, and she deliberately let herself jump into this fire pit.

He shouldn't have doubted his mother, after all, he was born and raised by her mother, who had been subtle and warm to him since she was a child, and gave a heart to his mother.

But people are so strange, there are many things to consider when being an emperor, and people in high positions and powers always like to be suspicious of the people around them, especially people like him who do not get a position by normal means.

"The queen mother laughed, no matter what position I achieved, I will always be the son of the queen mother."

Empress Dowager He showed a relieved smile, but the corners of her eyes were a little moist.

To be able to win the emperor's favor as the daughter of a mere businessman, and finally sit in the position of queen, and help his mother's family become the general of Zhennan, maybe he doesn't understand the major events in the world, maybe he doesn't understand the Taoism above the court, but how can he not understand intrigue? How can you not understand people's hearts?

After all, the most complicated place in the world is the woman in the courtyard of the deep palace.

What could be more sad than a mother learning that her son doubted herself?

But even so, the mother still loved her son dearly.

"He Tu wants to be the emperor."

The new emperor wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

"He is my elder brother, the elder brother of the same father and mother, but I am not only his sister, but also the queen mother of this Tianhan, the daughter-in-law of your Liu family, he wants to ask for my help and let me monitor your movements, but other provinces in my many identities do not allow me to do this."

Empress Dowager He forcibly endured her trembling voice to make it steady.

The new emperor remembered what the old eunuch said before: But he is your mother.

"Now that he is in power, the entire Luoyang is controlled by him, if you want to regain the imperial court, you must get rid of him, fortunately, he trusts me very much, I will ask him to enter the palace tomorrow night, and you will be ready then."

After speaking, Empress Dowager He closed her eyes and lay down on the chair.

The new emperor looked at the expression of his queen mother seriously, trying to find out the truth of the other party's words.

It's a pity that he can't see anything.

At this moment, he knew that the intelligence he had always been proud of was all fake, and he was probably the biggest joke in the world, and even more so a first-class fool.

But even if he was a fool, he knew that this might be the only chance to get rid of He Tu.

He was willing to believe in his mother for once.

He may not be smart enough, and he likes to speculate, but she can still see who is really good to her.

At least he didn't believe that after so many years of digging out his heart and lungs, the queen mother who was good to him would stand in front of outsiders and deceive him.

"Good!"

Not stupid enough to ask: Can I trust you?

The new emperor nodded and spoke, then got up to leave, pausing at the moment when he was about to open the door.

He wanted to say something.

But I don't know what to say.

"Your Majesty should have prepared early, the mourning family is tired."

At this time, Empress Dowager He, who had been closing her eyes, spoke.

The new emperor replied: Okay, and then pushed the door open and left.

Listening to the sound of the door closing, the Empress Dowager He, who had been in the harem for more than ten years and finally became the most powerful woman in the world, her eyelids jumped uncontrollably, and then a tear crossed the corner of her eye.

One is her brother and the other is her son.

She chose her son.

She didn't know if it was the right choice? She has made countless choices in her life, and she thinks they are the right ones to this day.

But at this moment, she regretted it.

It would be nice if you didn't enter the palace.

If you don't support the family, it would be good if you didn't support his brother to take the position.

If he didn't propose to let his son take a photo, it would be good if he came to Luoyang.

There are obviously so many regrets, but she has never regretted giving birth to this son, let alone making this decision at this moment.

Nothing was said all night.

The palace seemed to be silent, as if nothing had happened, as usual.

The newly enthroned emperor was as diligent as before, and he was busy until the second half of the night.

And the Queen Mother, who has also been resting late, rested tonight, surprisingly early.

Early the next morning.

The warm sunshine once again woke up Luoyang, the icy thousand-year-old imperial city.

The people of Luoyang went out to work as usual.

Luoyang's civil and military officials participated in the early dynasty as in the past.

That is the king of Zhennan, and he went to court normally as usual, as if nothing happened in this hall yesterday.

And the smiling new emperor also presided over the morning exercise as usual as if nothing had happened, but this straw was a little dull, no one mentioned the soldiers at Yumen Pass, and no one mentioned the voices against the new emperor on the Tianhan Dynasty.

The whole early dynasty was talking about some inconsequential things, the court became surprisingly dull, dull and a little drowsy, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty said innocuous twists and turns, and patted their asses from time to time.

It's just the content of sycophancy, and His Majesty's wisdom has become the wisdom of the prince.

Even after these happens, the new emperor still has a smile on his face, just like the puppet that has been set up.

This made He Tu very satisfied.

It's just that there are some doubts in my heart, and my nephew is not a person who will recognize his situation so easily.

He knew that the other party would definitely be secretly planning a plan against him, but what was there?

The whole of Luoyang is his own, the 300,000 army is here, and the civil and military officials in the court are also promoted by him after cleaning up, the other party is just a puppet, a puppet, even if there is more fire, he can still kill the master.

The dull early dynasty finally passed, and after the new emperor left, He Tu was right, looking at his civil and military officials, and said, let's disperse!

and then left, and the civil and military officials watched him leave before retreating one after another.

I really don't know who is the emperor of this Tianhan.

And after the retreat of the new emperor, his face also became very ugly, and the little eunuch naturally told him about the scene just now.

When he returned to the imperial study, he retreated from all the palace maids and eunuchs around him and spoke:

"Are you ready?"

The old old eunuch suddenly appeared in this room, and the hoarse voice spoke again:

"Alright."

A cold light flashed in the new emperor's eyes.

"Then everything goes according to plan."

……

"You mean Your Majesty, disguised yourself and went to Situ Mansion?"

He Tu squinted his eyes and played with the wine glass in his hand and asked the respectful little eunuch in front of him.

The little eunuch said flatteringly: "That's right, Your Majesty, today is not long after the Xia Dynasty, for some reason, I came to the Situ Mansion in disguise and brought a few people to the Situ Mansion. ”

He Tu put down his wine glass and looked at the parrot that was constantly jumping up and down in the birdcage on the table, and spoke:

"It's interesting, it's called a caged bird, and it really doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back!"

The little eunuch didn't reply and buried his head very low, not daring to look at this powerful prince, who was the eyeliner arranged by the king of Zhennan to the palace.

He Tudu made two attempts at the parrot in the cage and spoke:

"Alright, you go back! Remember not to reveal your identity, it is still useful to keep you. ”

The little eunuch buried his head very low and flattered:

"The slave knows."

He Tu nodded and glanced at the guards beside him.

The other party took out a tael of silver from his bosom and handed it to the little eunuch.

The little eunuch hurriedly shirked:

"I can't help it, this can't be done, the slave does things for the prince, that's the honor of the slave, and the slave can't accept this money."

The guards pushed twice, but the little eunuch didn't accept it.

He Tu only spoke at this time:

"Take it, what is your situation in the palace? I need some dots, and I can do things for me if I have money. ”

The little eunuch accepted it.

"Then the minion will retire first."

He Tu nodded, and the little eunuch left the room before straightening up, and then left quickly.

He Tu casually asked the guards beside him:

"Is what he said true?"

The person next to him replied: "According to the information received by our people, a group of unidentified people did enter Situ Mansion in the afternoon. ”

He Tu grinned.

"My nephew really wants to compare with me, but that old man Situ is very treacherous, even if he is loyal to your Liu family, he will not necessarily help you when facing a situation where he will lose."
