Chapter 39: The Morality of Emperor Wen
Wang Sheng then twisted his beard and said: "Tao Gong, you always have to make preparations with both hands, Zhang Shizhi is also a good move, after all, the Son of Heaven is very good, so it is not impossible for him." ”
Tao Qing said with some confusion: "Alas! The world is difficult, who would have thought that Uncle Zhang would be like this? Otherwise, the two of us will join forces, and we will make a mistake, so don't say it! The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory. ”
Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Gong Tao, it is not an exaggeration for Uncle Zhang to have such thoughts, after all, he is too benevolent and pedantic, and his scholarly spirit is too strong, and it is already a blessing to become a court lieutenant." ”
"But Uncle Zhang still can't give up, I'm willing to go to Zhang's Mansion for Gong Tao."
Tao Qing nodded slightly, he thought so too, but he was used to being a prime minister, and there were some things he couldn't say, so it was better for Wang Sheng to be able to bring it up.
·········
At this time, Emperor Jing was silently looking at an article on the desk, it was Chao Buzhi's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms", he read through it several times, his brows were furrowed, obviously he also felt that Chao Buzhi's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" was right.
After all, any emperor, who is willing to send his daughter and money to the enemy country, is this easy for him to do!
However, the ministers on whom he had high hopes were either involved in the princely kingdoms, or were busy fighting for power and profit, and there was only one mistake that could be used, and because his temper was too bad to fit in, he was often impeached.
Why is it so hard to do something? This is the sigh of Emperor Jing.
Looking at the twists and turns on Chao Cuo's statement about inviting Liu Wu, the king of Chu, Emperor Jing couldn't help but feel a little big.
Not to mention killing Liu Wu, even Liu Wei is willing to kill him together!
But that's not how things worked, even if Liu Wu drank and enjoyed himself during the funeral, didn't he still have heavenly family affection?
Okay, you Liu Qi killed Liu Xian, the prince of Wu, when he was the prince, and now that he is the Son of Heaven, he wants to kill Liu Wu again, if he is the Son of Heaven for a few more years, will he kill all the clans in the world.
The people of the world will not understand Emperor Jing's painstaking efforts at that time, although the princes and kingdoms are not big, but they haven't rebelled after all, have they?
When the time comes, he will be mean and unkind, jealous and jealous, and any kind of ugly words will greet him, Emperor Jing can't stand it!
But Chao Cuo is also very clear in the compromise.
"The minister said wrongly: Wu Chu has been dissatisfied with Wang Hua for many years, and now Liu Wu, the king of Wu, is still in Chang'an, so he will not think of loyalty and filial piety, not afraid of the law of the court, and indulge in wine privately, and his style in the fief can be seen from this, so although he pardons Liu Wu, he will still be dissatisfied, His Majesty will determine the policy of cutting the domain, and take advantage of Liu Wu's mistake to plow the court to sweep the hole, Mount Tai to press the top, or circle or punishment, cut off the Chu State, in order to deter the princes of the kingdom, and ask for the Holy Judgment!"
While Emperor Jing was pondering, an attendant trotted in, and then whispered a few times in Chuntuo's ear, and Chuntuo's face was very surprised.
Emperor Jing noticed Chuntuo's abnormality and asked, "What happened to Chuntuo?" ”
Chun Tuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Chao Langzhong said some words just now, and the slave doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”
As soon as he heard that the matter was involved, Emperor Jing frowned, and couldn't help but say, "What can't you say?" Tell me about it. ”
Chun Tuo then began to tell the rhetoric of Chao Buzhi in detail.
“··· As long as it is beneficial to the country, I will make up for it even though I will die without regret. ”
"Infamy must be borne by someone, ····· He is a man who has one foot in the grave, how can I bear to let him bear this infamy for the ages? What's more, throughout the ages, the revenge of any weak country is nothing but in painful torment, reborn in the flames, ·····"
"I was born in the Han Dynasty for more than a dozen cold and summers, how can I be a person who doesn't know how to report? If there is infamy today, if there is bloodshed and sacrifice, please make up for it. ”
"If the country lives and dies for profit, will it not be avoided because of good and evil."
Chao Buzhi's sonorous words, like an initiation, made Emperor Jing sober up.
Such a loyal man, who worked hard for the sake of the Great Han, how could I treat him like this? In vain, I also claimed to be an open-minded saint and a Ming monarch, and Emperor Jing's chest seemed to be blocked with some depression at this time, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy.
Suddenly, Emperor Jing got up and shouted, "It's not good." ”
Because he thought that Chao Buzhi was treating the Queen Mother at this time, coupled with the help of Huang Sheng and others, if the Queen Mother was angry, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing hurriedly got up and ran outside, he wanted to admit his mistakes, but also to save his loyal ministers.
··········
Besides, at this time, Chao Buzhi slowly walked to a garden, which was where the Empress Dowager Dou was.
Chao Buzhi took a deep breath and calmed down, because what he wanted to see was an old man, an old woman, a stubborn old woman, so he had to be clear-headed, not to mention Huang Sheng's rival.
After Chao Buzhi entered, he found an old lady sitting on the top, with white hair and wrinkled faces, but she was very noble and majestic, only those unfocused eyes made people sigh a little.
Therefore, Chao Buzhi sighed imperceptibly, but this sigh made Huang Sheng, who was kneeling next to him, his eyes light up, and he suddenly said: "When Chao Langzhong saw the Queen Mother, he didn't say hello first, but sighed, what is the reason?" ”
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Dou, who had already heard a lot of bad things about Chao Buzhi, snorted softly, obviously showing her great diswelcome to Chao Buzhi.
Yes, not to mention curing the disease, whether you can get out of it is a question.
And Huang Sheng was a little proud, just now he was refuted by Chao Buzhi above the main hall, and he was defeated, who would have thought that Chao Buzhi would be taken down by him as soon as he arrived.
Aren't you amazing? Where is your eloquence? Today, I have prepared a big gift for you, even if you are the wrong Ji's father, I will let you go around without eating.
Chao Buzhi said without thinking: "The minister sees the Queen Mother today, thinks about the morality of Emperor Wen, and thinks of the benevolence of the Queen Mother, but there are still King Chu who does not respect the imperial edict and indulges in lust during the mourning, so he sighs and asks the Queen Mother to forgive him."
This remark brought the Empress Dowager Dou back from reality to the history of the year.
In the seventeenth year of Liu Heng's reign, that is, in 180 BC, Empress Lü died.
The ministers discussed supporting the succession to the emperor, hating the strong power of their relatives Lu family, and praised Liu Hengren for his charity and kindness, so they welcomed back the acting king Liu Heng and established him as the emperor, which was for Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
Bo Ji was renamed the Empress Dowager from the Queen Mother, and her younger brother Bo Zhao was named Marquis.
In March of the same year, the ministers asked for the empress, and Bo Ji said that all the princes and kings were born to the same mother, so he made Dou Yifang, the mother of the crown prince Liu Qi, the empress.
So Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty established Dou Yifang as the queen, that is, the current Empress Dowager Dou.
