"So clean! Except for one Empress Dowager Dou, none of the others were left. Now the two families of Dou Wu and Chen Fan have been completely wiped out, and there is no aftermath left. After Liu Hong returned to Luoyang, looking at the heads presented by the eunuchs, he couldn't help but admire those eunuchs. Cut the grass and eradicate the roots, there is no one left, what a good character! At this point, it is necessary for me to learn from those eunuchs. ”

There are all human and material evidence, and there is no doubt that Dou Wu and Chen Fan are rebelling. No matter how famous the two of them are, this is a fact that cannot be denied.

The next morning, all the people stayed in the hall honestly, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Last night, there was such a big thing, how could they, the ministers, not know. Dou Wu and Chen Fan, the two families were wiped out, and after that, it could be regarded as a complete change. Now, until we figure out what's going on, it's better to be honest. If you are not careful, you will be unlucky.

Looking at the trembling ministers below, Liu Hong finally felt a little powerful.

"Everybody knows that something big happened last night. So much so that I rushed back from Guangchengyuan overnight. Speaking of this, Liu Hong looked at the ministers below and continued: "I never thought that my general and my concubine would unite to rebel!" ”

Normally, in the early dynasty, no matter what happens in the main hall, there will be a little movement. But today is surprising, except for Liu Hong's voice, there is no noise in the hall.

"The general and the Taifu, they are nominally one person and ten thousand people. But in fact, everyone also knows that all the decrees are from the hands of the two of them, and they have become the de facto controllers of the Han. But even like this, they are not satisfied, and they want to drive me down, which is really unbearable! ”

As he spoke, Liu Hong threw the evidence of Dou Wu's private transfer of the army, as well as the letter written by Chen Fan to Wang Kao that the eunuchs had obtained last night, to the ministers below. Let them know what Dou Wu and Chen Fan have done. Otherwise, with their prestige, those ministers may not necessarily make him guilty in private.

The ministers picked up the evidence and passed it on one by one, but then they were all silent.

These ministers are not fools. Regardless of whether the evidence is true or not, anyway, now that Dou Wu and Chen Fan have all been killed, this can be regarded as death without proof. Now the emperor and those eunuchs are the victors, you can say whatever you want.

Liu Hong also knows that although these evidences are true, there are always people who will not believe it. They can come up with countless reasons why these things are forged by someone else, and they are framed.

Liu Hong didn't make people believe it, and he arranged it as soon as he came back yesterday. His newspaper will hold a special issue and print the full text of these two pieces of evidence on it, so that most people will know what the facts are.

After presenting the evidence, Liu Hong did not do anything. He knew that whether these ministers believed it or not, such a big thing had just happened, and all the ministers were definitely panicking.

Although now, it is the best time to deal with these ministers. But now that many people and things have not been straightened out, Liu Hong feels that it is not suitable for him to make big moves immediately.

Therefore, Liu Hong did not pay attention to those weak-hearted ministers, but commanded the eunuchs and removed the curtain used to cover the queen mother when she listened to the government. It seemed to be talking to himself, and it was like saying to the ministers, "I've wanted to dismantle this useless thing for a long time, and today I can get my chance!" In the future, the Han Dynasty will be in charge, and I will never need this thing in the future. ”

Liu Hong is going to announce that from now on, he will be the master of the house, so that these ministers can recognize the facts and take refuge as soon as possible. Otherwise, after he does it, it will be too late to say anything.

But some people are so blind, just when Liu Hong is in high spirits, he has to come out and sing a counterpoint to Liu Hong. Liu Honggang said that he will be in charge of the house in the future, and he will no longer need curtains. But at this time, Zongzheng Liu Chong spoke, and wanted Liu Hong to make Mrs. Dong, a noble lady of Shenyuan, the Empress Xiaoren, and listen to the government.

Mrs. Dong is Liu Hong's mother in this life, and she should be named Empress Xiaoren. Historically, she is also this title, and Liu Hong has no opinion. But what does it mean to let Mrs. Dong listen to politics again, isn't it obvious that he can't be trusted? And after he made an obvious statement, he immediately made this suggestion, isn't this purely uncomfortable for Liu Hong.

Looking at this Liu Pet, Liu Hong remembered that when he was not yet on the throne, this guy gave him a whole moth and recommended Liu Kuan's son Liu Song to take the throne, which almost caused Liu Hong a big trouble. Liu Hong hasn't had time to settle accounts with him, he has jumped out again now, and he is still working against Liu Hong, if Liu Hong doesn't clean him up, he will be sorry for the right that he just received.

"Feng Shenyuan is the Empress of Xiaoren, and I agreed. But I would like to ask Zongzheng, why did you propose that Empress Hyoin be lowered again? ”

"Your Majesty, you are still young, and many things are not well thought out, and someone should help you check the gates. Besides, it's conventional. ”

"How do you check it? Do you want to make another Dou Wu to rebel? It's still a convention, and you can tell me how many relatives are behind this convention! ”

Hearing this, Liu Pet didn't dare to speak, but Liu Hong didn't want to let him go.

"If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Dou to listen to the government, Dou Wu is in power, and wants to maintain such power forever, how could he come out to rebel? Now, you want to get a curtain to listen to the government, what kind of heart do you have? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is loyal to the Han!"

Liu Chong felt that he was really wronged, this letter of the Queen Mother and the proposal to listen to the government was Zongzheng's duty, and he put it forward according to the usual practice, he didn't expect Liu Hong to be anxious because of this.

"You are loyal to the Great Han, why can't I see it? Judging by your behavior, you are not the patriarch of the royal family at all, but the patriarch of your relatives! Everything is considered for the sake of the relatives! ”

Hearing this, Liu Pet knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and shouted that he was dedicated to the big man.

"A person like you who eats inside and outside is not only not worthy of being the head of the royal family, but also not even worthy of being a member of the Han family." Speaking of this, Liu Hong said to Tingwei: "I now remove Liu Chong from his position as Zongzheng, deprive him of his status as a clan relative of the Han family, and remove him from the genealogy. Your Tingwei Mansion, check with me well, how much benefit he has received from his relatives, and why he speaks so much for his relatives. ”

There are several ministers who have a good relationship with Liu Pet and want to intercede for Liu Pet. But Liu Hong is now angry, and he has involved Liu Chong's affairs with the rebellious relatives, they are all afraid of being burned, so they didn't save Liu Chong, and then put themselves on the hook. Therefore, they all wanted to wait for Liu Hong to lose his anger before thinking of a way.

No one pleaded for him, so Liu Pet was naturally escorted down by the guards. The ministers looked at Liu Pet who was dragged away, no one felt sorry for him, everyone thought that he was self-inflicted. At such a moment, you come out to disagree with Liu Hong, aren't you uncomfortable, who do you blame for such an end.

Liu Pet, even if it is a chicken used to set an example for monkeys after Liu Hong took power, it seems that the effect is good now.

Then Liu Hong appointed Liu Qi as the secretary of the book and became the de facto prime minister, in charge of everything big and small. Subsequently, he changed the time of the early dynasty from the intersection of Yin Mao to the friendship of Tatsumi, that is, from five o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the morning, which can be regarded as the completion of his long-cherished wish. This is not enough, he also reduced the early dynasty to twice a month, only after the first and fifteenth days of the first and fifteenth days of the new year, in the strange eyes of the ministers, Liu Hong retired from the dynasty with satisfaction.
