The Empress Dowager

On February 20, Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: remove Fu Xi from the post of Grand Sima, let him retain the status of marquis, and go home to rest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On April 2, Liu Xin, Emperor of the Han Dynasty, accepted the suggestion of Zhu Bo, the Great Sikong, to "cancel the Great Sikong, change back to the Imperial Shi Dafu, and follow the old system" and appointed Zhu Bo as the Imperial Shi Dafu, and his uncle Ding Ming as the Great Sima and General Wei.

dismissed Fu Xi's Da Sima, but Empress Dowager Fu thought it was not ruthless enough. So he personally issued an edict to Prime Minister Kong Guang and Imperial Doctor Zhu Bo, "Fu Xi colluded with Shi Dan, which deeply hurt my fragile heart, and I must let him get out of Chang'an and go back to his feudal country" Fu Xi could only pack his luggage and go on his own way.

On the 19th, Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to demote Kong Guang as a commoner. Kong Guang was driven away, and Cheng Xiang naturally fell into Zhu Bo's hands. On the same day, Liu Xin named Zhu Bo as prime minister and Yang Xianghou. Shaofu Zhao Xuan was appointed as the imperial historian. However, when Zhu Bo and Zhao Xuan were about to go to the palace to accept the appointment, there was a surprising accident!

When Zhu Bo and Zhao Xuan had just entered the palace and had just gone up the steps, a thunderous bang suddenly sounded in the sky. The loud noise is not a problem, the question is why did it boom when Zhu Bo was about to be sealed? Sure enough, there was a roar, and everyone inside and outside the palace was talking about it.

Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty also felt that things were a little ghostly, and immediately sent someone to call Yang Xiong and Li Xun. Li Xun is a famous astrologer, Zhai Fangjin pulled him into the Prime Minister's Mansion back then, and if he encounters ghosts and strange things, he can consult him directly.

In front of Liu Xin, Li Xun pretended to pinch his fingers, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "The loud noise Your Majesty heard is the legendary drum demon." When will the drum demon sound? According to my research, whenever the king's ears and eyes are blinded, and people with false names enter the government and hold high positions, the drum demon will sound," Li Xun continued as if he was addicted, and according to my research, the time for the drum demon to make a sound is quite regular. If it sounded in the middle of a year, a month, or a day, it would mean that there would certainly be cadres at or above the ministerial level in government departments who were suffering. It is now April, divided into three parts of the year, which is the middle period; Today is the nineteenth, which is the middle of the month; It is the hour of the hour, and it is the middle of the day. This shows that a high-ranking government official has reached the most dangerous moment. In order to save them from the fire, I suggest that Your Majesty immediately remove them" After talking for a long time, who are the 'they' that Li Xun is talking about? In the end, Li Xun said unequivocally, "They are Prime Minister Zhu Bo and Imperial Doctor Zhao Xuan." If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, within a year, something will definitely happen to them" Yang Xiong also said, "Zhu Bo is a strong and resolute person, and he has many power and scheming. This kind of person should not be a prime minister, and Your Majesty really should not let him be a prime minister."

Finished! The hard-trained royal spokesperson and senior errand runner is about to be messed up when a drum demon comes. Now what? This question is actually difficult for Liu Xin!

First of all, Zhu Bo's ability to have today is the result of his game with Shi Dan, Kong Guang, Fu Xi and others. If Zhu Bo is dismissed, it means that all previous achievements are wasted, how can Liu Xin be willing? The second most important thing is that if you don't listen to the advice, the victim will be Zhu Bo and not Liu Xin. In that case, what is there to worry about? Anyway, Zhu Bo is just a piece on the chessboard, losing him, and others...

If you don't go to hell, who will go to hell? So Liu Xin decided: according to the established procedures, continue to hold the canonization ceremony for Zhu Bo. Liu Xin wants to see: Is it the power of people? Or is it a strong will of destiny? In that case, let's wait and see. I believe that the answer will be revealed soon!

Li Xun predicted Zhu Bo's fate, and it would be known in less than a year. For Empress Dowager Fu, this information is quite important. Empress Dowager Fu is Zhu Bo's boss. What are the characteristics of the boss? Anyone who has studied Western economics knows that their specialty is to extract surplus value from workers in a limited time!

Zhu Bo is just a high-level technician of the royal family, if they squeeze enough of Zhu Bo's surplus value in a short period of time, not only to protect the capital, but also to make a profit. What kind of squeezing method, Empress Dowager Fu has already planned it.

First of all, Zhu Bo must fulfill the wish of the Empress Dowager Fu for the honorific title. Zhu Bo knows this truth. Soon he wrote a book and suggested that the Empress Dowager Fu be honored. No one objected now, and Liu Xin immediately issued an edict: remove the word "Dingtao" on the heads of Fu and Ding. called Fu the empress dowager and lived in Yongxin Palace; Ding is the empress dowager, in the middle of the palace. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, for the first time, there have been two empress dowagers of the same level and two empress dowagers of the same level.

In addition, Liu Xin also issued an edict: to set up a dormitory for his biological father Liu Kang in Chang'an, the capital, such as the story of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

After many years of daughter-in-law finally becoming a mother-in-law, it is not easy for Empress Dowager Fu to survive to this point! So she thought about indulging. Sometimes when she talked to Wang Zhengjun, she actually called the other party "old woman" to her face, and the empress dowager Zhao Feiyan also tried her best to flatter herself, the empress dowager, and often came to Yongxin Palace to say hello. But he didn't go to Changxin Palace to greet Wang Zhengjun. The king saw all these things in his eyes and remembered them in his heart. Wait! Someday I will settle the reckoning with you!

On the road of Fu to be on an equal footing with Wang, Wang Mang, Shi Dan, and Fu Xi were her biggest troublemakers. Now it's their turn to eat the color of Empress Dowager Fu!

Prime Minister Zhu Bo and Imperial Historian Zhao Xuan jointly played: "When Hou Shidan was the chief secretary of Guannei, he suppressed the Empress Dowager Fu's honorific action. This kind of person who doesn't know how to lift up should not let him enjoy the title of knighthood anymore, please be degraded to a commoner. In addition, the former Gaochang Marquis Dong Hong, the first to build the honorable number. was impeached by Shi Dan and deposed as a concubine. Now Dong Chang should be given justice."

Liu Xin heard it, this is what Empress Dowager Fu meant, so let her be fulfilled. So it was approved: Shi Dan was demoted to a commoner and Dong Hong was re-named the Marquis of Gaochang. But that's just the beginning, and that's not the end yet!

Zhu Bo and Zhao Xuan immediately jointly played "When Wang Mang was appointed as the Great Sima, it was also the action to suppress the honorific title of the Empress Dowager Fu. It stands to reason that he can no longer enjoy the treatment of a marquis, please allow him to be demoted to a commoner"

When Liu Xin heard this, he hesitated: Oh, this matter? I know, let me think again...

Liu Xin knew: Putting Wang Mang to death is of course what Empress Dowager Fu meant. But Mrs. Fu only knows the whole person, but she doesn't know that he, the emperor, is really difficult to become. You must know that Liu Xin was succeeded to Liu Biao as a son, and according to the patriarchal system, he can no longer recognize Empress Dowager Fu and other relatives. If there was no protection from Wang Zhengjun back then, would Old Lady Fu have such a beautiful day today? Therefore, the face of the Queen Mother must be given, and repairing Wang Mang cannot be too much.

In the end, Liu Xin made a compromise: Wang Mang continued to enjoy the title, but he had to leave Chang'an and go back to his fiefdom. Wang Mang's cousin, Wang Ren, the son of Wang Tan, was also retained on the charge of hiding Zhao Hede's relatives and sent back to his fiefdom. At the same time, Liu Xin accepted Yang Xuan's advice and asked Wang Yi, the son of Wang Shang, to take the title of Marquis of Chengdu, his father.

In April, Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty accepted the suggestion of Prime Minister Zhu Bo to cancel the establishment of 2,000 Shi Prefecture Governors more than two years ago, and changed it to 600 Shi Prefecture Assassin History.

On June 5, the biological mother of Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty and the Empress Dowager of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Ding, who had just been the empress dowager for more than a month, died.

When Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was in the same year, Gan Zhongke of Qi wrote 12 volumes of "Tianguan Calendar" and "Baoyuan Taiping Sutra", saying that the Han Dynasty should be at the end, and a new son of heaven who should be ordered by heaven should appear. Xia Heliang of Bohai County was his disciple. At this time, Liu Xin, who was 21 years old, was estimated to be exhausted for the Empress Dowager Fu's honorific title, suffered from repeated sleep illnesses, and ignored the court for a long time. Xia Heliang played "The emperor should change the yuan and change the name, so that he can prolong his life" Liu Xin was puzzled, and in June, he issued an edict to amnesty the world, changed the Yuan Taichu, and called himself "Emperor Chen Shengliu Taiping"

In July, Liu Xin issued an edict: to build his own mausoleum in the Yongling Pavilion on the northwest plain of Weicheng.

In August, the condition of Liu Xin, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, has not improved, and Xia Heliang once again played, "The current ministers and ministers do not know the mandate of heaven, especially the prime minister Zhu Bo and the imperial historian Zhao Xuan." They should be dismissed. Let my good friends Xie Guang and Li Xunlai serve as auxiliary ministers" Liu Xin was furious. Ordered Xia Heliang to be put to prison and executed. Li Xun and Xie Guang reduced the death penalty to the first class, and were assigned to Dunhuang County. At the same time, the two things of changing the yuan and changing the number were canceled, and it was still called Jianping for 2 years.

Empress Dowager Fu is addicted. She chased after her fiercely, and decided to clean up the portal and clean up her cousin Fu Xi together! The reason why Empress Dowager Fu was ruthless was not unreasonable. When he was a teacher of Dan and Wang Mang, he didn't hesitate for a moment. But she gave Fu Xi time to hope he repented. But Empress Dowager Fu waited for half a year, but she didn't see Fu Xi come to apologize, and she didn't see him send someone to ask for peace, as if she didn't take the old woman seriously at all...

Therefore, Empress Dowager Fu called Fu Yan and sent a message to Zhu Bo, "No matter what means are taken, Fu Xi's title will be deprived" Zhu Bo gladly accepted the order and immediately went to find Zhao Xuan, the imperial historian.

However, when Zhu Bo finished telling the meaning of Empress Dowager Fu, Zhao Xuan hesitated, "I think it's better to forget about it." Your Majesty has asked Fu Xi to return to the fiefdom, and we still have to go to the well, isn't it too much?"

Zhu Bodao: "How can this be counted? Empress Dowager Fu's meaning is very clear: Shi Dan's fate is Fu Xi's fate. Since I have promised the Empress Dowager Fu, even if I die, I will fulfill my promise to "play big." The so-called knowing the other is invincible. Zhu Bo only knew that there was a Empress Dowager Fu in the world, but he didn't know that there was an emperor Liu Xin in the world! But Zhao Xuan is well versed in the ruthlessness of the Empress Dowager Fu, and at the same time he is in awe of Liu Xin. Who is Liu Xin? He is a person who has a bottom line. If he exceeds his bottom line, he may have to turn his face and deny people!

But Zhao Xuan was sad again, he was kidnapped by Zhu Bo. The two are in the same boat. If Zhu Bo plays alone, he is not afraid of capsizing, does he, the imperial historian, still have to mix? He wants to mix, maybe Empress Dowager Fu doesn't want to. So Zhao Xuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to charge into battle with Zhu Bo!

But under what excuse can I fix Fu Xi, and how can I do it so that I don't show my feet? This question really hurt Zhu Bo's brain. He thought about it, and finally came up with a brilliant plan! Zhu Bo believes that the impeachment of Fu Xi is easy for Liu Xin to suspect that they have bad intentions. So in order to repair Fu Xi, you must pull a step. Who's going to put the foot on it? Zhu Bo thought of one person: the former Grand Sikong He Wu.

At that time, Liu Xin deliberately found a ballast in order to help Shidan ascend to the throne, saying that He Wu was not filial, and sent him out of Chang'an City and returned to the fiefdom to retire. In fact, Zhu Bo still knows a thing or two about the real reason why He Wu was driven away. The main problem is that He Wu is foolish in power, and he has not contributed much to the Empress Dowager Fu, or even to the country, which is the real reason for being driven away... In Zhu Bo's opinion, Fu Xi and He Wu are in a similar situation. Fu Xi is very talented, but he has not seen any achievements he has made to the country, and more importantly: he not only did not contribute to the Empress Dowager Fu, but also had a deep grudge. Don't blame people for being cruel to you!

Weaving a good reason, Zhu Bo and Zhao Xuan played again, "When Fu Xi and He Wu were in power, they did not contribute to the country, and although they have been dismissed, they can no longer enjoy the treatment of marquis." I beg Your Majesty to demote them all to civilians"

When Liu Xin heard this, he was stunned at first. After being stunned for a long time, he seemed to understand what was going on. So all of a sudden, it became popular! Anyway, Zhu Bo is also an old man. However, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and in order to demean a person, he actually weaves such a reason with no technical content, which really makes Liu Xin unbelievable. Fu Xi's academic level, that is known to all the secretaries; Fu Xi's moral standard is known to everyone in the rivers and lakes. Fu Xi strengthened his political conscience, defended the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and waged an unyielding struggle against the old lady Fu at all costs, is this considered a contribution?

The level of fabrication is poor, and the level of the emperor's mental skills is also extremely low. Zhu Bo didn't know Liu Xin too well. Liu Xin seems to be the puppet of the Empress Dowager Fu, but he is a sober puppet after all. Knowing what you can and can't do is all principled. Not everything is up to the Empress Dowager Fu as the legend goes!

Also, what is the relationship between Empress Dowager Fu and Fu Xi, Liu Xin knows best. Zhu Bo thought that by pulling a He Wu to back his back, he would be able to hide from Liu Xin? It's just a squint! Just rushing to see people in the crack of the door, Liu Xin has no reason to let Zhu Bo go!

So, Liu Xin immediately summoned Zhao Xuan to interrogate. Zhao Xuan was very obedient, Liu Xin didn't ask more than three sentences, he offered everything, "We played, completely under the instructions of the Empress Dowager Fu"

Then, Liu Xin transferred people from the palace system and the military attache system to form a temporary investigation team to investigate Zhu Bo and Zhao Xuan. Soon, the investigative report came out. General Zuo Peng Xuan, as the head of the investigation team, impeached Zhu Bo, Zhao Xuan, and Fu Yan for being unkind, and should report to Tingwei's prison!

Liu Xin moved quickly and immediately approved the arrest of the three people! Zhao Xuan confessed leniently, was exempted from the third degree of capital crime, and was only punished with hard labor. Fu Yan should be a relative and Liu Xin's father-in-law, and he was fined to cut off 1/4 of the food. As for Zhu Bo, then don't think about slipping away...

However, when Liu Xin's envoy was about to go to Zhu Bo's house to arrest people, he found that Zhu Bo had committed suicide! In April, he was named prime minister, and committed suicide in August, and Zhu Bo's career as prime minister did not exceed half a year. As the astrological master Li Xun said, "The drum demon sounds, and within a year, Zhu Bo will suffer" It seems that everything is providence!
