Chapter 3 The Empress Dowager

"Look, what kind of monarch is the emperor today?" Dou Ying and Tian Wei walked outside the Sima Gate and said goodbye, Tian Wei suddenly asked.

Dou Ying smiled, stroked his long beard under his chin, thought for a moment, and said: "Heroic as Emperor Gao, meticulous as Emperor Wen." ”

"Just as you say! The descendants of Emperor Gao were born with dragon species. Tian Wei nodded heavily, and his ugly face was full of smiles.

The two said goodbye with a smile. Tian Wei watched Dou Ying's carriage go away before jumping into his car.

"Go visit the Queen Mother." Tian Wei commanded, and silently thought about his thoughts.

The coachman agreed, turned the horse's head, and drove in the direction of Changle Palace.

As soon as Liu Chefu ascended the throne, he respected his grandmother Empress Dowager Dou as the empress dowager, his mother Empress Wang as the empress dowager, and appointed the crown princess Chen Ajiao as the empress.

After the death of her husband Wang Zhong, the queen mother's mother Zang'er remarried Tian in Changling County and gave birth to two sons, Tian Wei and Tian Sheng. The brothers are the half-brothers of the Queen Mother, who were stained with the light of their sister, and at the same time were named Liehou by the new emperor Liu Che, Tian Wei as Wu'an Hou, and Tian Sheng as Zhou Yanghou. Wang Xin, the elder brother of the Queen Mother, was named Gaihou in the later years of Emperor Jing.

Queen Wang became the queen mother and moved to Changle Palace as usual. The four main halls of Changle Palace are the Changxin Palace, the Changqiu Palace, the Yongshou Palace, and the Yongning Palace. The Empress Dowager still lives in the Changxin Palace, and the Empress Dowager moves to the Changqiu Palace.

Tian Wei came to the Changqiu Hall and reported the situation of the court meeting to the Queen Mother.

Although she was born to a mother, Tian Wei's appearance was quite ugly, and she couldn't see the shadow of her two sisters at all, just because she could speak well, she was deeply liked by the Queen Mother.

After listening to Tian Wei's relay, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "The emperor really looks like a Ming Jun." ”

"It's not like Mingjun, Your Majesty, he is Mingjun." Tian Wei complimented: "My sister didn't see it with her own eyes, Your Majesty's dismount made those old ministers sweat." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, as if she thought of something, restrained her smile, and asked, "I don't know what the old lady thinks?" ”

"After the dispersal of the dynasty, I found Dou Ying, and he said two sentences, 'Heroic as Emperor Gao, meticulous as Emperor Wen'." Tian Wei shook his head, very proud. "Dou Ying's attitude is the attitude of the Empress Dowager."

"Is Dou Ying's words credible?" The Queen Mother asked worriedly.

"Sister, don't worry." Tian Wei's tone was firm, and he replied quietly: "When I was a Lang official, I often served in Dou Ying's house with my nephew and nephew. I can't understand Dou Ying's temperament very well. He has a straight temperament and will not say anything against his will. ”

"That's good. I can let go of this heart. The Queen Mother sighed lightly, and said again: "When the first emperor was here, he didn't show you kindness and made you suffer. ”

"My sister is serious." Tian Wei didn't care, and said with a smile: "The master said, 'Rich and can be sought, even if you are a whipper, I will do it'." The little bitterness that my brother endured was nothing. ”

The Queen Mother looked at her younger brother with a smile, "The emperor is newly enthroned, and you are more of an uncle to help you, and you are not afraid that there will be no future in the future." ”

"It is my duty to contribute to His Majesty." Tian Wei agreed angrily, and said with a smile: "With my sister here, do I still need to worry about not being rich!" ”

In the Changxin Palace, the Empress Dowager Dou had heard about what happened in the court.

"You see, did the emperor say it casually, or did he really intend to shake the policy of 'ruling by doing nothing'?" The Empress Dowager sat on the couch, her face was calm, she couldn't see her joy or anger, and asked leisurely.

"Your Majesty is young and vigorous, perhaps on the spur of the moment...... The minister is still uncertain. Taichang and Bai Zhihou Xuchang stood on the ground with embarrassed expressions.

Xuchang is the grandson of Xu Wen, the founder of the country, and advocates the doctrine of Huang Lao. Early in the morning, Xu Chang listened to Liu Che's grand remarks, and his heart was shocked, so he quietly came to Changle Palace.

"The emperor is so young that he can't hold his breath." Empress Dowager Dou frowned and sighed.

"What the Queen Mother said is extremely true!" Xu Chang bowed his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is young and has an undecided temperament, so I need you to help him get on the horse and give him a ride." ”

"Hmm." The Empress Dowager did not say anything, and said slowly: "Go on." ”

"The minister believes that His Majesty should let you know about all major matters in the imperial court and then make a decision." Xu Chang looked sad and said his idea.

Taichang, the head of Jiuqing, is in charge of ceremonial music sacrifices, temple rituals, and respects. Xuchang prepared to contact the minister, in the name of respecting filial piety, to persuade Liu Che, and asked Liu Che to inform the empress dowager of political affairs.

"The old body is blind and the heart is not blind, and he can help the emperor check the gates." The Empress Dowager agreed.
