After the Holy Ancestor, there have been four large-scale wars with the outside world of the Empire, and in each war, the Imperial Bank has borne 90% of the military expenditure, and the amount of expenditure has exceeded 10 billion! Obviously, it is difficult to do this if you rely solely on the degree of the household. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu for thirty years, and although he defeated the Xiongnu, he almost collapsed the country! That's the huge difference between having a bank and not having one!

Nominally, the Emperor is the head of a country, and the Imperial Bank founded by His Majesty the Holy Ancestor should be in the hands of the Emperor. But now the real situation is that the president of the Imperial Bank is Zhong Zhen, the household servant appointed by the emperor, but the actual person who holds the power of the Imperial Bank is Lan Dian, the head of the bank appointed by the empress dowager. The control of the emperor's internal treasury was also in the hands of Ying Guifei, who was appointed by the empress dowager. The emperor was obviously very dissatisfied with this.

This feud also extended to the court. The scale of the post-party and the imperial party has gradually taken shape. The latter party was headed by Wang Yuande, the secretary of Dali Temple, and the imperial party was headed by Gongfu Xiao, Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, and the two factions continued to disagree in the recent government affairs, which actually alluded to the disharmony between the emperor and queen in the palace.

As for the cabinet and the top of the three chambers, their attitude is still very ambiguous, but it is this ambiguity that keeps the empire running normally today.

Emperor Liu Ju, now his biggest capital is his identity as an emperor, and at the same time, he also has a secret guard who is absolutely loyal to him! And the queen mother's biggest capital is the Imperial Bank, as well as the duke's family outside the court--- such as the Liang family and the Ying family!

The two should be said to be evenly balanced. But neither clearly wants to maintain that balance anymore, and both want to grab a heavyweight weight that tilts the scales in their favor. And this heavyweight weight is the army!

In the Shoucheng Palace, the Empress Dowager Dou sat in the hall, and her silver hair was combed into a graceful and elegant bun, coiled behind her head. With goosebumps, a kind face, and a bright red beauty mole in the center of her eyebrows, the young Empress Dowager Dou must have been a beauty who captivated the country and the city!

On the side of the hall, the court servant band is playing the queen mother's favorite "Haiqing River Yan Fu". Four or five old men in loose Hanfu also sat down with a smile and accompanied the Queen Mother to the banquet. In the middle of the main hall, groups of dancing girls dressed in colorful costumes are dancing.

Empress Dowager Dou looked at it and said something to the maid beside her with a smile. At this time, a maid walked to the Queen Mother from the side and whispered a few words.

The Queen Mother smiled and waved her hand, the dancing girl stopped her movements and retreated, the band also stopped playing, and the entire Shoucheng Hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at the Queen Mother and listened to what she had to say.

"Elders, the old woman has something to deal with, so let's stop here for today's feast!"

Empress Dowager Dou said kindly. Her voice is clear, showing her good body.

Those old people who went to the banquet were all nobles in Luoyang City who were more than ancient and rare, and the Queen Mother also called them "elders". They're all used to it. They saluted and retired.

As soon as these old men left, a girl wearing a vermilion palace dress ran over from the side hall, knelt beside the Empress Dowager Dou, buried her hazelnut in a fallen horse bun into the Empress Dowager's arms, and shouted in a coquettish tone: "Grandma Huang, do you miss Hui'er?!" Hui'er thinks about Grandma Huang every day! ”

Empress Dowager Dou smiled, patted Zhou Hui's head lovingly, and said, "How could the old woman not want Hui'er!" It's you, a little girl, who thinks about causing trouble everywhere all day long, and it's hard to say if you miss grandma! ”

Zhou Hui raised her delicate face, pouted and hummed, "Grandma Huang doesn't believe in people!" I really think about the imperial grandmother every day, do you don't want Hui'er, and you don't send someone to call Hui'er into the palace, or today Hui'er doesn't want the imperial grandmother to think, so I secretly came here! ”

Empress Dowager Dou said dotingly: "Okay, okay, it's the imperial grandmother who is wrong." Grandma Huang apologized to Hui'er, okay? ”

Zhou Hui immediately straightened up and said with a smile: "Haha, Grandma Huang, this is what you said!" I don't want the imperial grandmother to apologize, I only ask the imperial grandmother for one thing! ”

"Oh? What do my ghost girls want? Empress Dowager Dou smiled indifferently. Picked up the ginseng tea handed over by the maid next to him and sipped it lightly.

"Hui'er doesn't want anything, I just ask the imperial grandmother to do Hui'er a favor, Dali Temple Qing Wang Zhao arrested one of my classmates, I hope the imperial grandmother can let him go!"

Empress Dowager Dou was kind enough to accept it, and the action of drinking tea paused, and the atmosphere of the entire Shoucheng Hall suddenly cooled down. Even Zhou Hui felt that this always kind imperial grandmother seemed to have changed.

"You mean Shen Yun, the prince of Bohai?" Empress Dowager Dou's voice was a little cold.

Zhou Hui nodded cautiously, but did not dare to speak.

Empress Dowager Dou glanced at Zhou Hui, and suddenly smiled: "I heard that he once threw you into Weiming Lake, why did you still help him?" But who told you to come to me to intercede? ”

Although she was laughing, no one could see that this smile did not mean happiness.

Zhou Hui hurriedly shook his head and said pitifully: "No, no, it's not who asked me to come to the imperial grandmother to intercede, yes, it's me who like him!" Speaking of this, Zhou Hui blushed, "Grandma Huang, I really like Shen Yun!" You don't want the man Hui'er likes to be a prisoner, do you? Besides, he absolutely did not buy a murderer of his father, so if you show mercy and give Wang Zhao a decree, he will definitely listen to you......"

"No way!" Empress Dowager Dou said, "Shen Yun's murder of his father is ironclad evidence!" Hui'er, the mourning family will never allow you to marry into the Bohai Hou family! Not only is the mourning family, but your father will never agree to it! ”

Zhou Hui was stunned. Empress Dowager Dou has always been kind to her, and she has never refuted her requests. Empress Dowager Dou has never even spoken to her with such a formal title as "mourning family"! But what's going on today?

"Grandma Huang......" Zhou Hui stretched out his little hand and pulled the wide sleeves of the Empress Dowager Dou, his eyes drooped slightly, and he had a crying expression. But Empress Dowager Dou got up suddenly, shook off Zhou Hui's hand, and said hatefully: "Hui'er doesn't need to say it anymore. If it's anything else, Grandma Huang can promise you, but this one can't! If you are tired, you should go back early! ”

Surrounded by the palace maids, the Empress Dowager Dou walked back to the inner hall, leaving Zhou Hui, who was dazed and at a loss, weeping in the wide hall.

……………………… Dividing line ........................

"Wang Yuande, the mourning family is very disappointed in you!" The kind Empress Dowager Dou was gone, only a cold face.

Kneeling on the ground was none other than Dali Temple, Wang Zhao, and Wang Yuande. Soon after Zhou Hui left, the Empress Dowager Dou announced that he had entered the palace, and as soon as she arrived at the Shoucheng Palace, the Empress Dowager Dou was furious. This made his face full of panic, touched his head to the ground, and said nervously: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins." Weichen didn't know that Princess Duanping actually had feelings for Shen Yun! ”

Empress Dowager Dou rolled her eyes and said, "Do you think the mourning family is talking about this?" Idiot! The mourning family is asking why you can't punish Shen Yun until now! ”

"Empress Dowager, the three divisions will be approved early the day after tomorrow. Shen Yun will definitely be convicted then! Wang Yuande hurriedly said, "In the past few days, Weichen is making evidence, these evidences are absolutely ironclad, unless Shen Mu is resurrected, Shen Yun will never have the possibility of overturning the case!" ”

Empress Dowager Dou eased her anger a little and said, "Very good!" You must personally be responsible for this matter, and the Yulin Secret Guard is also taking action, and the mourning family doesn't want to see another mistake! ”

Wang Yuande sweated on his head, and said with sincere fear: "Yes, Weichen will definitely not make the same mistake again." The last action was that Wei Chen underestimated and almost missed an important piece of evidence in the City Patrol Division, but now it has been solved! ”

Empress Dowager Dou nodded: "Well, although you are a little frizzy, you are still loyal." The assassination of Shen Mu was also a helpless move. If it weren't for the last resort, the mourning family wouldn't want him to die! But since it has been done, it is necessary to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. If the three divisions can't convict Shen Yun of death in the next day, then simply send another group of dead soldiers to deal with him! ”

"Yes. But it's hard to find the dead! In the last two operations, I fraudulently used Tu Tianjiao's token, and only then did I mobilize ten Yulin Secret Guards, but I almost missed. Later, I asked Shen De to pretend to be Tu Tianjiao, and wanted those death row inmates to do Shen Yun, but I miscalculated...... Queen Mother, there are no two things, I'm afraid that using the fraudulent token again will attract Tu Tianjiao's attention, and then it will be troublesome! According to Shende, he had already asked about the whereabouts of the ten secret guards yesterday! Fortunately, Shen De was clever and perfunctory, but he couldn't hide it for too long! ”

Empress Dowager Dou frowned, and the beauty mole was suddenly hidden in the wrinkles, which was hideous and terrifying. She said slowly, "Where are the ten secret guards now?" ”

Wang Yuande said: "Three died, four were injured." Gong San and Shen Mu are not good at stubble, they are very tricky. I was all injured, and I was buried on the sacrificial flag slope ten miles outside the city, and I would never be found. ”

"What about the three who are alive?" Empress Dowager Dou's voice was disgruntled and cold.

Wang Yuande was so pressed by Empress Dowager Dou's momentum that he almost didn't dare to raise his head, and said tightly: "Weichen, Weichen thinks they are still useful, so he arranged three suitable identities for them, and they hid in Kyoto and ...... at any time."

"Huh, you want to? So when will it be the mourner's turn to think? Empress Dowager Dou screamed, "Do it, do it all!" The mourners don't want to leave any handles, these people all deserve to die! ”

Wang Yuande buried his head lower, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, I will obey the decree of the Queen Mother!" ”

PS: A little depressed. It's just that some people actually say that the title of "a certain gentleman" is that Japan has influenced China??!!! I'm speechless about it!

Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows that who to call "so-and-so" is an ancient Chinese term. It was only after Japan underwent the Taika Reform, fully accepted the culture of the Tang Dynasty, and leapt from a slave society to a feudal society, that it began to use this name to this day. In this respect, China is definitely Japan's teacher! But some people have been influenced by Japanese culture and even say that this name was invented by the Japanese! It really makes me feel bad! Just like some people think that kimono is traditional Japanese dress......

What is left of our Chinese culture today?

I must make it clear here that the names in the following books are historically recorded, including names. In ancient times, especially during the Han Dynasty, men's names were separated, and most of the names were single-character. That's how the so-called "single expensive and double cheap" came about! And most women only have names but no words, and most of them have double names. It was not until the fall of the Tang Dynasty that the rise of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the Han people who experienced the Wuhu chaos gradually began to have two-character names! Influential women began to write, such as Li Qingzhao.

I have tried my best to conceive this era, and at the same time show the ancient cultural heritage as much as possible, I hope you will cherish the fruits of my labor! Even if you don't like it, please don't speak ill of it!

In addition, this book does draw on the background framework of the windy "Han Cavalry", which is nothing to fuss about! I also made it clear in the work, so please don't use the word plagiarism, it's hard to hear! Except for a few major aspects of the setting, both the story rhythm and the main story line are different from "The Han Cavalry"!

If this is also plagiarism, then all fantasy novels can be considered plagiarism! Because it's all in the wizarding world, and even the magic name is the same!

What do you say?

There are a little more digressions today, mainly because I am really a little angry. So explained a whole bunch of things. I'll also post a work related to it.,I'll explain it again.。

Finally, ask for a referral ticket! Thank you!
