Chapter 0153: Time Bomb

After the dispersal of the dynasty, all the officials and courtiers stepped on the cloth shoes at the entrance of the greenhouse hall in order, and then took back their swords from the Lang officials in the guards at the door, and immediately walked towards the outside of the palace.

Seeing the crowd heading straight out of Weiyang Palace, Uncle Tian frowned slightly, and subconsciously put his hand in his arms, touching the music in his arms, worried about the 'collapse of etiquette' in the court now.

β€”β€”The two most fundamental theoretical foundations of the Han family's 'ruling the world with filial piety' are that Liu Bang reigned on the fifth day of the emperor, and the empress dowager of the filial piety dynasty.

Liu Bang once the emperor on the fifth day, and eventually evolved into the court 'five days and one permanent dynasty'; and because on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, when Liu Bang met the emperor, Liu Taigong would gather together in the Beijing clan and hold a family banquet, so on the first and fifteenth days of each month, the court raised the Shuowang Dynasty, and all the marquis in Jingche, Guannei, and those who were more than 600 stone attended.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how old or young the emperor is, the courtiers and officials need to go straight to Changle from the east gate of Weiyang Palace to Changle after the dispersal of the dynasty, and greet the queen mother.

The 'please be safe' here is not to kneel on the ground and kowtow, and pat two sentences such as 'Fu Ru Donghai Shoubi Nanshan' and other sycophants will be done - the first thing the courtiers have to do to ask the Queen Mother is to tell the Queen Mother: What happened to the court meeting of Fang Cai.

The saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics did not work at all in the early Han Dynasty, and the Han family, as 'ruling the world with filial piety', would not allow the emperor to 'rebel' on his own and mess around without the knowledge of the queen mother.

At the beginning of Emperor Wu's ascension to the throne, he could be said to be full of ambition, and he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to do a great career; The subsequent launch of the Jianyuan New Deal made a mess of the political order that had gradually stabilized the court and Emperor Wen since his later years.

Emperor Wu didn't even care about the Empress Dowager Dou Yifang's favor for Huang Laoxue, and repeatedly made moves to get close to Confucianism and alienate Huang Laoxue.

Rao is like this, Empress Dowager Dou did not interfere too much with Emperor Wu who ascended the throne at a young age, but only regarded it as a young man's attempt and let Emperor Wu bump into it.

But in the end, Emperor Wu did something that made Empress Dowager Dou angry, and immediately closed Emperor Wu in the small black house; If it weren't for the intercession of the eldest princess and the queen Gillian for it, as well as the oath of the 'Golden House Zangjiao', Emperor Wu was almost deposed a few years after ascending the throne and became the third young emperor of the Western Han Dynasty!

- Confucian scholar Zhao Juan suggested to Emperor Wu: The Queen Mother is already old, and she can't understand His Majesty's ambitions at all; In the future, Your Majesty should not tell the Queen Mother about the affairs of the DPRK and China...

But what Emperor Wu didn't expect was that when he nodded here, Empress Dowager Dou was already working to abolish the emperor!

The Empress Dowager of the Western Han Dynasty has the right to depose the Son of Heaven in legal theory!

As long as the Son of Heaven has indeed made an unforgivable mistake, and this fault is so big that the courtiers can't forgive it, then the Queen Mother of the Western Han Dynasty can directly abolish the establishment with the decree of the Eastern Palace!

β€”β€”It was on the basis of this theory that the former young emperor was abolished by Empress Lu, and on the grounds of 'mediocrity' and 'inability to govern', he was able to make the trip.

And if Empress Dowager Dou really deposed Emperor Wu in the new policy of Jianyuan, then the people of the world will definitely not be able to find fault with it - the reason for Emperor Wu's crime is really to the extent of 'being guilty of heaven'...

Unfilial!

The Han family is second only to chaos, and it is far higher than the crime of rebellion!

Although in the end, Emperor Wu narrowly escaped the tragic ending of becoming the third young emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, but the court situation was a one-click factory reset, and was forcibly zeroed by the Empress Dowager Dou - the two culprits of 'please don't do anything in the East Palace', Zhao Xuan, the imperial historian, and Lang Zhongling Wang Zang, sat on the 'separation of the two palaces, bewitched the Son of Heaven', and went to prison to die!

Prime Minister Dou Ying, in order to slaughter but unable to help the Son of Heaven govern, sit back and watch the Son of Heaven be bewitched and unable to stop it; Taiwei Tian Wei, for the relatives of the Son of Heaven and not cultivating private morality, there is no way to think of it, all right!

When the three dukes of the dynasty died and two were exempted, the court was completely reshuffled, and the vigorous new policy of Jianyuan was finally abolished by the Empress Dowager Dou alone.

If there are any obvious differences between the Western Han Dynasty and other dynasties, the first thing is to bear the brunt of the 'queen mother regent' who went the opposite of the later generations of 'harem is not allowed to interfere in politics' and used the two palaces to check and balance the court's situation!

Even when the emperor was young, the relationship between the east and west palaces was more like that between superiors and subordinates - the emperor put forward ideas at the court meeting, and the courtiers reported to the queen mother after the dispersal of the court, and then the queen mother made a decision to decide whether to make the trip.

But now, there is an unprecedented situation in the Han family - there is no owner in the East Palace!

As an old minister who has been fighting on the battlefield since Emperor Gao was slightly cold, Uncle Tian has long developed the muscle memory of dispersing the dynasty and facing the East Palace; Looking at the courtiers and officials who poured out of Weiyang Palace and walked towards their respective subordinates after the dispersal of the dynasty, Uncle Tian could be said to be awkward.

Touching the song in his arms again, Uncle Tian shook his head secretly: "It's a pity that I couldn't make the trip today..."

Sighing to himself, Uncle Tian quickened his pace and caught up with Zhang Cang, who was not far away, talking with the new court lieutenant Wu Gong.

"I don't know if the contemptible person is fortunate to walk with Zhang Gong?"

Zhang Cang, who was talking to Wu Gong in a low voice, turned his head when he heard it, and immediately showed a hint of understanding: "Shaofu's words are tormenting the old man..."

Looking at Uncle Tian with a chuckle, Zhang Cang's gaze subconsciously stopped at Uncle Tian's bosom for a moment, and then said indifferently: "Shaofu has something to tell the old man?" ”

In the second half of today's Chang Dynasty, Zhang Cang's eyes were almost all locked on Uncle Tian!

As early as the beginning of his tenure, when Uncle Tian had not yet rushed to Chang'an from Hanzhong, Zhang Cang was instructed by Liu Hong: Hanzhong has been away from the center for a long time, or does not know the current situation; Qing is the sub-phase, when the care of it...

Zhang Cang's hint to Liu Hong is naturally thorough - staring at Uncle Tian, don't let this thing do anything to undermine the stability of the DPRK situation!

If you really want to talk about it, Uncle Tian's political qualifications are not much lower than Zhang Cang; It is almost as ridiculous to say that Uncle Tian can't see the situation of the Qing and the opposition, as ridiculous as Emperor Gao will not buy people's hearts!

Regarding Liu Hongdi's worries, Zhang Cang can roughly guess one or two: Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, was wronged and lost the king!

But this matter has nothing to do with what Zhang Ao did - Zhang Ao's biggest mistake is that a different surname is king!

Compared with those princes with different surnames who were killed by Emperor Gao, or had no choice but to flee to the Huns, Zhang Ao was able to save his life, save his family, and even keep the Marquis of Che, which is already the best ending.

But Liu Hongdi's worries are not unreasonable-since he came out, Uncle Tian has been advertised as 'loyal to the liver and courage'.

At this delicate point in time when 'King Zhao is vacant', I really can't tell if Uncle Tian will intercede for Zhang Ao and ask Xuanping Marquis to be King Zhao.

Therefore, during the family banquet a few days ago, Zhang Cang had already vaguely ordered Uncle Tian: Shaofu is huge in scale, has a wide range of departments, and is a Shaofu at the beginning of the public.

But in today's Chang Dynasty, Zhang Cang found that from the beginning of the court meeting, Uncle Tian was holding a bamboo slip obviously hidden in his arms, his eyes were full of determination, waiting for the opportunity to speak!

- This really scared Zhang Cang's boss, and the whole court meeting was tormented in panic!

Although there is still a peaceful appearance on the surface, the political wrestling between the 'imperial party' led by Zhang Cang and the 'anti-party' led by Chen Ping has entered a white-hot stage.

Liu Hong followed the step-by-step process, step by step, like a wild beast, he pounced on it and tore it with all his strength when he smelled a little blood, expelled Chen Ping and his party members from the court, and used one political incident after another to install party henchmen in the court step by step.

Not surprisingly, Liu Hong's family can be said to be victorious.

Regarding the victory that is imminent, Liu Hong's attitude also makes Zhang Cang feel at ease - take the stability of the DPRK as the primary goal, and not be in a hurry.

In this case, any unexpected situation that may arise is not allowed by Liu Hong's family, especially the reactionary topic of 'what crime did Zhang Ao commit', which must not appear in the court and become a weapon for Chen Ping and his family to attack Liu Hong!

- The princes and kings with different surnames are a high-voltage line that cannot be touched in the Han family!

Regarding the harmfulness of kings with different surnames, the hundreds of officials in the court naturally see it clearly - all the princes and kings of the Han family with different surnames since Emperor Gao, except for the most special line of Changsha kings, the rest are all opposed!

If the first half of Emperor Taizu Gao was spent in Peixian County eating and waiting for death, and fighting the world to chase the deer of Qin, then the few years after sitting on the throne were almost all spent in counterinsurgency!

Even in the last few years, Liu Bang has reached the embarrassing situation of 'either suppressing the rebellion, or on the way to counterinsurgency'.

In the process of the last counterinsurgency, that is, the suppression of Yingbu (ι»₯εΈƒ), the wise and martial, high emperor Liu Bang, who had never fallen in front of Xiang Yu, fell down with a bang because of the loss of one in his body; Soon after, he died, and reluctantly handed the world into the hands of the fifteen-year-old young prince Liu Ying.

As for why the princes with different surnames want to rebel, it is needless to say - now even those princes surnamed Liu have a faint tendency like the Zhou family to 'respect Chang'an and stay away'!

The drawbacks of the feudal system were exposed in the early Han Dynasty - for anyone who aspires to centralize power, no matter how close the person is sent to be the prince and king, these 'countries within a state' will sooner or later become malignant tumors on the regime!

But knowing that you know, none of these words can be said in a formal setting in public...

- Emperor Gao's order: All meritorious soldiers are princes; The mountains and rivers are eternal, and the country is resting together!

Just this sentence is enough to make anyone who doesn't want to be beaten by the iron fist of the Liu dictatorship keep silent about the question of 'princes and kings with different surnames'!

In this case, if Uncle Tian really wants to seek justice for Zhang Ao in order to repay the kindness of the late master, then Chen Ping will definitely not let go of this good opportunity, and take advantage of this to disgust Liu Hong: Emperor Gao failed to fulfill his promise to the princes and kings with different surnames, will Your Majesty also rectify our founding fathers and violate Emperor Gaozu's promise to the vassal class?

As long as this sentence comes out of Chen Ping's mouth, it is almost equivalent to blocking Liu Hong's road - in order to ensure that it is not what Chen Ping said, Liu Hong can only swallow his anger and give Chen Ping and his party a good death.

Fortunately, today's Chang Dynasty has a lot of content, and Uncle Tian didn't find a chance to interject...

Therefore, Zhang Cang actually deliberately slowed down, waiting for Uncle Tian to find his own - Zhang Cang is really leaving, and now there are really few old horsemen in the court who can catch up with him!

Looking at the obvious insight in Zhang Cang's eyes, Uncle Tian almost wanted to speak, but he finally didn't know where to start.

Slightly embarrassed, he looked at Duke Wu on the side, and saw that Duke Wu politely walked five steps away, Uncle Tian was full of hesitation, and said tentatively: "When the contemptible people first entered Chang'an, they didn't know much about the affairs of the court, and they didn't know the holy will of His Majesty, so I implore Gong Zhang to solve my doubts." ”

Seeing that Uncle Tian was willing to speak by himself, Zhang Cang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - what Zhang Cang was most afraid of was that this stubborn cow would go back without a sound, and would not be able to go out of his door for five days, waiting for the next court meeting, and continue to wait for the opportunity to speak with that pair of eyes that looked at death as if he were at home.

"Please."

Seeing Zhang Cang's solemn bow, Uncle Tian also bowed deeply and replied, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty is coming to the dynasty today, but he has no intention of changing the yuan, and he has violated the etiquette system. ”

"Now that there is no owner in the East Palace, Your Majesty also turns a blind eye, what is the charter?"
