He Xiu as a generation of Confucianism, he returned to Luoyang again, naturally will not be silent, in a short period of time, many party members have come to visit this party member has a lot of fame, even Chen Fan and Dou Wu, are cautiously come to visit, the little fat man is the first time to see Dou Wu like this, but unfortunately, He Xiu did not plan to serve.

The little fat man's plan to use He Xiu to open up the situation among the party naturally failed, and under the begging of the little fat man, he just agreed to stay in Luoyang, serve as the emperor's teacher, and teach the little fat man in person like the Hou Mansion, for He Xiu, no matter Dou Wu or whom, are very relieved, the little fat man's current "sage" is also recognized by them as He Xiu's teaching.

For He Xiu to serve as the emperor, they had no objection at all.

It's just that what the little fat man didn't expect was that Zheng Xuan didn't stay to serve as an official, but instead entered the Tai Academy, wanting to continue to improve his knowledge.

The year ended in such a strange silence.

At the end of the year, Empress Dowager Dou set up a family banquet again, but this banquet was not as harmonious as last time.

"What the hell are you thinking? You still have my father in your eyes!! ”

Dou Wu angrily yelled towards the most prominent woman of the dynasty, Dou Tai's face was as usual, there was no anger, and the little fat man also quietly slipped to Dong's side, since the little fat man mastered the power in the palace, the Dong family was often taken to the Houde Hall by the guards, and the mother and son were reunited, and the little fat man did not hide his ambitions, but showed off in front of his mother.

This also made the Dong family more and more arrogant on weekdays, and often quarreled with the Empress Dowager Dou.

It's just that he is the biological mother of the little fat man, and the little fat man is no longer the isolated and crumbling rootless son of heaven a year ago, and the current little fat man, although he is still nothing in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Dou and Dou Wu, but he also has a reputation in the world, and the officials are also very satisfied with him, not to mention that he also has a small group of followers who claim to be the emperor.

Under these circumstances, Empress Dowager Dou had no way to disadvantage the Dong family.

"Guan Ba, Su Kang, the two of them, the clan is guilty, so they will punish their clan, why should my father kill these two people?"

"If it weren't for these two thieves making trouble in the palace, how would those dog thieves dare to defy the king's law and oppress the people!"

"Punishment is, why take his life?"

"Oh, if the eunuchs are not removed, the family and the country are uneasy, should you or not?"

A good family banquet, but at this moment it is mixed with gunsmoke and war, the little fat man lowered his head, without saying a word, but his heart was happy, the more fierce the quarrel, the better, as for the Dong family, that is really smiling, not even the slightest concealment, Empress Dowager Dou looked at it, her heart was even more angry, she waved her hand, and said a little unceremoniously: "This is a family banquet, don't make people see the joke, this matter will be discussed in the court." ”

"Hmph, the foolish woman has misled the country!" Dou Wu said these angry words, indicating the official break of their father-daughter relationship, he didn't even stay here anymore, got up and was about to leave, the little fat man hurriedly got up, blocked in front of Dou Wu, and said respectfully: "Don't be angry, Dou Jun is a family banquet, we are all close relatives, why is this?" ”

Dou Wu has no way to turn a blind eye to the little fat man, at least, the little fat man is the Son of Heaven, and he is the rightful monarch, Dou Wu arched his hand and said: "Wu is unwell, I hope that the Son of Heaven will forgive him!" After speaking, he left here directly, and the back of Mrs. Dou was even more ugly, and the little fat man sighed again, slowly came to the Queen Mother's side, held the Queen Mother's hand, and said: "The Queen Mother should be angry." ”

Empress Dowager Dou was stunned for a moment, looked at the little fat man with a sincere expression beside her, and suddenly had a trace of tenderness in her heart, she smiled at the little fat man for the first time, and said: "It's okay, my father is also for the family and the country." The little fat man nodded and said in a low voice: "I really envy the queen mother....", Empress Dowager Dou and Dong's Dou were stunned, and looked at him in unison, a little strange.

The little fat man lowered his head and said softly: "I have lost my father since I was a child, and I still don't know how my father taught, and my mother has a father, so I envy him..."

When he said this, Dong's eyes were also a little red, and he couldn't help wiping away his tears, and the Empress Dowager Dou was also silent, and the little fat man suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "But now it's okay, I had a mother who loved me before, and I was a parent at the time, and now, I have two mothers, how lucky!" After saying this, Empress Dowager Dou was really touched, at first, she didn't like the little fat man very much.

Because of Emperor Xiaoheng, she has always been full of hostility to this heir who is not the heir of Emperor Xiaoheng, and has always been cold and indifferent, but now that I think about it, since this son entered the palace, he has never been disrespectful to himself, on the contrary, he will come to see him every two days, although he never let him in, every time he worships himself first, and then worships his biological mother....

The bits and pieces of this year made the queen mother, who had no son, suddenly have a little love for this little fat man in her heart, she lowered her head, her eyes were a little soft, and asked in a low voice: "The emperor lost love with me, do you have resentment in your heart?" The little fat man hurriedly shook his head and said sincerely: "How can I ever lose love with my mother? If it weren't for the love of the queen mother, how could the child be in this ninety-five position? ”

Empress Dowager Dou, originally very favored by Emperor Xiaoheng, but after the children of the Dou family fully served the party, this favor was no longer there, she was still dissatisfied with her family, and after the death of Emperor Xiaoheng, Dou Wu's various practices made her feel dissatisfied and threatened, which was indispensable for the eunuchs to fan the flames on the side, within a year, she was alone, neither the Son of Heaven nor her family.

And now, the little fat man's remarks seem to give her a little warmth and cheer her up.

.......

"Why should Da Lang be so polite to her? Emperor Xiaoheng has been dead for a year, how can she continue to be the queen mother? On the way back, Dong asked with some jealousy, the little fat man frowned, his expression became a little serious, he raised his head, and said, "Empress Dowager Dou is my mother, why did my mother say this?" It hurts people's hearts. ”

Dong was stunned for a moment, and for a while, she couldn't figure out whether this kid was pretending or sincere.

.........

That Dou Wu returned to the house, he immediately summoned Chen Fan, but did not summon Liu Shu, he proposed to use the matter of controlling Su Kang, completely eliminate the eunuchs in the court, Chen Fan how could he disagree, he also thought that this was the queen mother and the general's joint plan, immediately agreed, and it attracted a large number of party members, and the general's mansion plotted, and there is a party member He Hao, proposed to master the northern army first, and then kill the eunuch by force, the party thought so.

Unconsciously, it was past the end of the year, and the ministers were busy again, because in the new year, a new year name would be established, and a series of problems after the new monarch ascended the throne should be determined.

At the end of the tenth year of Yanxi, the ministers discussed the name of the year, which was for Jianning, and the Taifu Chen Fan, the generals Dou Wu and Situ Huguang participated in the Shangshu affairs.

He also posthumously honored the little fat man's father Liu Chang as the "Emperor Xiaoren", the mausoleum as the "Shen Ling", and the mother Dong was named the "Shenyuan Noble".

In the first year of Jianning, the year was Wushen.
