1.55 Affection is priceless
"Chaos does not damage the spirit."
Although His Majesty indulged in sensuality, he was never absent from the court meeting without reason. Otherwise, there will be no rooster hall on the north side of the naked tour hall. Raise roosters just to wake themselves up.
Just imagine, the roosters are crowing in unison, and they will inevitably be noisy. Only in this way will it be enough to wake up His Majesty, who is drunk and unconscious.
In all fairness. Your Majesty has all the potential to be a Ming Jun. However, the Tao is not the same.
Your Majesty is bent on making money. Only their own family, and ignore everyone.
Money, why is it so important to Your Majesty. Or it may be related to the bleak experience of childhood, poverty encounters.
It is also unrealistic for a teenager who walked out of Hejian Township to have his family and country in mind. And there is no mother around who understands righteousness, and she mentions her life every day. The origin of the Empress Dowager Dong is not recorded in detail in history. I only know that it is the Hejian clan, the wife of Liu Chang, the Marquis of the Jiedu Pavilion.
"The pavilion is in Raoyang." "The east of the country is divided into two branches: one flows southeast through the south of Jiedu Ting; One northeast flows through the north of Jiedu Pavilion. ”
There are few records about the Empress Dowager Dong: "And the Empress Dowager Dou collapsed, (the Dong family) began to work with the government, so that the emperor sold officials to ask for goods, paid his own money, and filled the hall." ”
The reason why Your Majesty has become Your Majesty today is probably related to the instigation of the Empress Dowager Dong.
When His Majesty first took charge of the government. In the third year of Jianning, four "Zhongxing swords" were cast to inscribe the name. "In September, the Empress Dowager Jiao Yongle was invited to die in prison." He also put to death his uncle Dong Chong, who falsely passed on the holy decree of the Empress Dowager Dong. It can be seen that at the beginning of the succession, His Majesty was also ambitious and enthusiastic. The reason for the rapid corruption in the follow-up must be closely related to the general environment.
And the reason why His Majesty can become His Majesty today. In addition to thanking the first emperor for having no children, he also needs to thank one person. Liu 儵 (shū).
The first emperor died, and Dou Wu summoned Liu Lu, who was serving the imperial history at the time, and asked the sages of the clan in the country. Liu Lu recommended Liu Hong, the Marquis of the Pavilion. So, Dou Wu and Dou Hou agreed to make Liu Hong emperor. Ordered Liu Lu to be the doctor of Guanglu, and sent him to serve Cao Jie with Zhongchang, and to hold the festival. Thousands of people from the Yellow Gate, Huben and Yulin welcomed Liu Hong into Beijing as the emperor. Liu Hong was only twelve years old at the time.
It is precisely because he was born in the Hejian clan that he knows the character of Liu Hong, the Marquis of the Pavilion. If His Majesty is really stubborn and immoral, Liu Yi will not recommend it to Dou Wu. It can also be seen that when he was a teenager, he was the Majesty of the Marquis of the Pavilion, and his nature was still good.
Of course, setting up a twelve-year-old little emperor is also the daily routine of the political ecology of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
For the Empress Dowager Dou and General Dou, before His Majesty served the government, there was a lot of time to control the government and install party henchmen. For the eunuchs of the inner palace, accompanying the little emperor day and night also has a lot of time to cultivate feelings and strengthen relationships. So, in the middle of the palace, they hit it off.
Guanglu doctor Liu Lu and Zhongchang servant Cao Jie, "and hold the festival". Go to the river to welcome the new emperor.
Soon after, Liu Yi was murdered by eunuchs. The imperial court took pity on Liu Yi and reused his brother Liu He in return. In addition, Liu He is also the son-in-law of Cheng Huang, and he has been ranked as the third prince in the first year of Guanghe. At this time, Liu He had the idea of avenging his brother. And Wang Fu, the mastermind of killing his brother, was also alienated by His Majesty because of Queen Song's unjust death. Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu, infantry captain Liu Na, Sili captain Yang Qiu and Liu He hit it off, which led to a series of palace bloodbaths.
It seems to be a bloody battle between the clan and the eunuchs. This is not the case.
Among the masterminds of the murder of the Great Internal Official Wang Fu. Situ Liu He and Sili Captain Yangqiu are both Cheng Huang's sons-in-law.
and Wang Fu was killed, and Chen's body was outside the Luoyang Xia Gate. When the funeral was held for Emperor Shun and the nobles of Yu, when the hundred officials of the court returned to the city after the funeral, Cao Jie saw that Wang Fu's body was placed on the side of the road, and he burst into tears and said: "I Cao Zi can eat each other, why should I make the dog lick its juice?" ”
The consciousness is to say: "It's okay for us to kill ourselves and eat each other, but how can we let the lackeys lick the soup of Wang Fu?" ”
This sentence breaks the sky: Wang Fu died in the eunuch infighting.
As for Liu He, Yang Qiu and others, they are just the "dogs" in Cao Jie's mouth, the so-called "lackeys".
So, the owner of the lackey was about to come out. Great eunuch, Cheng Huang.
borrowed Liu He's knife and killed Wang Fu was Cheng Huang. That is, "Master Cheng" who leaned towards the government and the opposition later.
However, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Cao Jie also took advantage of Wang Fu's death to unite with the palace officials to kill Liu He, Chen Qiu, Yang Qiu and others, and eradicated Cheng Huang's "lackey" in one fell swoop. and squeezed Cheng Huang out of the inner palace, saying that he was sick at home. In a flash, it has been nearly ten years.
In the past ten years, although Cao Jie has great power, he is alone and dying. The eunuchs of the Mesozoic Era, their wings are growing. Can't wait, want to seize power and usurp the throne.
At this juncture, the old and the new collide.
Ouchi official Cheng Huang entered the palace.
"Cheng Changshi?" Rao is His Majesty, and he couldn't help but be stunned. I haven't seen it for ten years, and His Majesty feels fresh. Then he smiled and said, "Come and see you quickly." ”
There was an old man with crane hair, who was in good spirits and walked in. threw himself in front of Wanjin Hall: "Old slave Cheng Huang, knock to see Your Majesty." ”
"I haven't seen you for many years, why did the boss come?" His Majesty was very pleased to see that he was old and not decrepit. I can't help but think back to many old things.
"As Your Majesty said, I haven't seen him for many years, and the old slave is very concerned about Your Majesty. Although his body and bones are still healthy, he is also infected from time to time. The deadline is probably approaching. While there is still some time, I will enter the palace to say goodbye to Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Queen Mother. to fulfill a long-cherished wish. ”
This is very emotional. Rao is His Majesty, and he couldn't help but be touched: "I remember that the old man is especially young and a few years old. Why talk about old age. ”
"How can you not be old if you are old and useless." Cheng Huang kowtowed again.
"If the old man has leisure, he can often enter the palace." Your Majesty went along with it.
"The old slave bows to God." The footsteps behind him were very hurried. But he suddenly stopped in front of the hall. Cheng Huang smiled slightly, and then knocked goodbye: "Your Majesty is good at protecting the dragon body, and the old slave will retire." ”
His Majesty was trying to keep him, but Cheng Huang had retreated outward.
turned around and walked out of the hall, and saw several people under the corridor sending each other off. If you look closely, it is the ten permanent servants who rushed to hear the news.
"Congratulations, sir." Zhang let say goodbye.
Cheng Huang bowed his head slightly and went straight away.
Cover up with long sleeves and look up. Zhang Rang's eyes flickered.
Behind him, Xia Yun couldn't help but ask: "Old Immortal, why is it here!" ”
"Silence!" Zhang Rang scolded in a low voice. Then he said: "Send someone to spy on it." ”
"Whoa!"
Out of the West Garden, Cheng Huang knocked on Queen He in turn, Empress Dowager Dong. Finally, climb the cloud platform and knock to see the Empress Dowager Dou.
Yuntai is heavily guarded, and without the order of His Majesty and Empress Dowager Dong, even the regular attendants cannot take the stage. What's more, secretly peeping at Cheng Huang's little yellow door. When Cheng Huang saw the Empress Dowager Dong, he had already made his intentions clear. The old man is about to die, and he wants to say goodbye to all the masters one by one. Say goodbye to the Empress Dowager Dong first, knowing how to advance and retreat. After all, according to the etiquette law, you should say goodbye to the Empress Dowager Dou first.
Empress Dowager Dong also misses the old. This ordered the gimbal guards to let him go on stage.
"Old slave, knock on the Queen Mother." It's the same as before.
Empress Dowager Dou said from behind the curtain: "Why did the old man come? ”
"As soon as someone is about to die, say goodbye to the Queen Mother. Second, ......" Cheng Huang slowly straightened up: "Empress Dowager Xie gave the little girl a priceless treasure." ”
Empress Dowager Dou replied: "It's just a personal thing, how can it be really priceless." ”
Cheng Huang replied: "This acacia is given by the first emperor when the queen mother entered the palace." There is a saying that 'gold and jade are valuable, but love is priceless'. The old slave thanked the queen mother for the little girl. ”
"A good gold and jade is valuable, but love is priceless." The Queen Mother suddenly said: "I don't know this affection, can I exchange it for the boss?" ”
"The Queen Mother, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Cheng Huang kowtowed again.
"Reopen the party."
