Chapter 174: The Son of Heaven Without Power

In the Taiyuan Hall of the Canglong City Imperial Palace, the Taiwei of the six departments of the Great Jin Dynasty heard that the Empress Dowager Zhou was about to promote Liu Ji to a guerrilla general, and he couldn't help but make eye contact. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

To tell the truth, the promotion of a small guerrilla general will not be taken seriously at all by the six lieutenants who are in power and in the opposition, but the six lieutenants are very interested in Liu Ji, who suddenly appeared, and they can't help but have the heart to woo them.

After all, he can defeat the 30,000 cavalry of the Wuheng tribe and the 90,000 cavalry of the Lou Fu tribe in a row, and also destroy the Cangxiong tribe, one of the five major tribes of the Lou Fu tribe, Liu Ji's ability to lead the troops is beyond doubt, and according to intelligence, Liu Ji has also made more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, no matter which captain can pull Liu Ji under his command, it will be a big help.

Therefore, the six captains are not ready to give Liu Ji too much reward this time, this reward is in the name of the imperial court, and there is no credit to the six of them, and Liu Ji will not be able to thank the six captains.

Zheng Kai, the chief lieutenant of the household department, just said that he would promote Liu Ji to a guerrilla general and reward him with 100 taels of gold, which is already very, very low compared to the merits Liu Ji has achieved.

However, Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, thought that these rewards were still too much, and directly removed the promotion of guerrilla generals, leaving only a reward of 100 taels of gold, so that even the Empress Dowager Zhou, who was usually almost obedient to the six lieutenants, couldn't help but feel that the reward of only 100 taels of gold was a little unreasonable, and added a clause for promoting Liu Ji to a guerrilla general.

Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, nodded slightly and said: "The queen mother is more thoughtful, and the minister thinks that it will be done according to what the queen mother said!" ”

Yang Zhong, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Zhihuan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Boran, the chief lieutenant of the Criminal Department, Sun Mingtao, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of Works, and Zheng Kai, the chief lieutenant of the household department, also expressed their approval of the proposal of the Empress Dowager Zhou after Dou Yan, the chief lieutenant of the Ministry of War.

Among the six captains of the Great Jin Dynasty, Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, can be said to be the leader, since Dou Yan has expressed his position, the other five captains have not continued to dwell on such a little reward.

After retiring from the dynasty, Liu Heng, the current emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, followed the Empress Dowager Zhou back to the Ci'en Palace where the Empress Dowager Zhou lived, as soon as Liu Heng entered the Ci'en Palace, he ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to exit first, and then carefully checked the room to make sure that there was no one else, and then said to the Empress Dowager Zhou angrily: "Queen Mother, these people are getting more and more excessive, the partial general named Liu Ji has made such a great contribution this time, it can be said that in decades, my Great Jin Dynasty has won the biggest victory over the grassland Hu people, and I have only received such a little reward. This makes the border army soldiers think of the imperial court! What do you think of me, the Son of Heaven! ”

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, you have to be patient, now almost all the military power in the entire capital is in the hands of the six captains, and these six captains are the ministers appointed by the emperor to take care of their lives, although you are the Son of Heaven, but they have the right and the strength to directly abolish you, the Son of Heaven, and then set up someone else to ascend the throne and be the emperor." ”

"Mother, how long will I have to endure these traitors? If they continue to toss around like this, our entire Great Jin Dynasty will have to let them make the country go bad! ”

"Alas, the emperor, you have to endure for another three years, and when the emperor is eighteen years old, he will find a way to slowly retract the military power, as long as he masters the military power, the emperor will have the day to control the court, if there is no military power, the emperor can only continue to endure."

Liu Heng showed a helpless wry smile, "Queen Mother, according to the current situation, even if I am in power, don't think about taking back the military power, those six captains will not obediently hand over the military power of the 800,000 forbidden army in the capital." ”

"Alas - for the military power, the mourning family can not help the emperor, when your father succeeded to the throne, the military power of the 800,000 forbidden army in the capital has fallen into the hands of those powerful ministers, your father reigned for more than ten years, tried his best to hope to recover the military power of the 800,000 forbidden army in the capital, but unfortunately it has not succeeded, and finally ...... Your Majesty, you must calm down! Saying that, the Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Liu Heng hurriedly comforted the Empress Dowager Zhou and said, "Queen Mother, don't worry, I won't act recklessly, and those chaotic ministers and thieves won't catch any tricks from me." ”

While Liu Heng was comforting the Empress Dowager Zhou, a chill appeared in his eyes, Liu Heng's father Liu Wei was just in his early thirties when he died, Liu Bian's body has always been very healthy, and even his martial arts are not bad, but he suddenly died of an emergency, and his death was very strange.

What is even more suspicious is that not long after Liu Wei died, several imperial doctors who diagnosed the cause of Liu Wei's death disappeared, Liu Heng has always suspected that his father was assassinated, and the person who assassinated his father was 100% inseparable from the six lieutenants.

Liu Heng accompanied the Empress Dowager Zhou to talk for a while, and then returned to his dormitory Yangxin Palace.

Later, Liu Heng sent someone to summon Zhou Qingyao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who taught him to read, into the palace in the study room of Yangxin Palace.

Among the six departments of the Great Jin Dynasty, Taiwei is the highest official of each department, below Taiwei is Shangshu, and under Shangshu is Shilang, that is to say, Shilang is the third in command in each department, Taiwei is the first leader, and Shangshu is the second in command.

Zhou Qingyao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, came to the study of Yangxin Palace, bowed to Liu Heng and said: "Minister Zhou Qingyao has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

The monarchs and ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty did not bow down, but bowed, but the common people of the Great Jin Dynasty, when they met officials, although there were no mandatory regulations, they basically bowed.

"Uncle, you are here, alas--you also saw it today, the six Tai Lieutenants are getting more and more excessive, where is the Great Jin in their eyes? Where is the emperor of me? ”

It turned out that Zhou Qingyao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, so Zhou Qingyao was not only the emperor's teacher, but also the uncle of Liu Heng, the son of heaven.

As soon as Zhou Qingyao heard Liu Heng's words, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly turned his head to check if there was anyone else in the study.

"Uncle don't worry, I have already retired the eunuchs and palace maids, and there is no one else here."

"Your Majesty, the situation is becoming more and more dangerous now, be careful that the wall has ears! If we take a wrong step, what awaits us is the abyss! ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I've already arranged it, and no one will be able to eavesdrop on us."

"Alas, the emperor, the arrogance of the six captains is not a day or two, as early as the reign of the emperor, the six of them relied on the military power in their hands to control the government, over the years, they have done too many excessive things, the emperor is not without a lesson, the minister advises the emperor to continue to endure it!"

"But uncle, how long will I endure? These rebellious ministers and thieves control the military power of the 800,000 forbidden troops in the capital, even if I am in power, it is rare for them to be able to hand over the military power? ”

Zhou Qingyao sighed and said: "Your Majesty, we can only wait for the opportunity, bear with it first, and wait for three years, when the emperor is in power, let's think about it in the long run!" ”
