But at this time, the atmosphere in the hall was still very awkward. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Empress Dowager Dou didn't even know how to speak.

Originally, the plan of Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Bo was to take advantage of the emperor's happiness and take the opportunity to intercede.

After all, there is almost no presence in the East Palace now.

In this kind of thing, if you don't speak out, then the East Palace will be completely ignored and forgotten.

Even the old ladies in the people's homes know that once they are ignored and forgotten, it means loneliness and loneliness.

How could Empress Dowager Dou and Empress Dowager Bo not know?

So, this time, for them, it is actually an opportunity.

How much weight does it have to test yourself at once? Does the Emperor still respect his chances!

This is important!

Liu's son of heaven has always been affectionate.

This is true even for family members.

Not to mention the grandmother and the nominal mother, even the grandfather and father, the son of the Liu family may not have much respect.

Emperor Gao is a good example!

Therefore, after pondering again and again, Empress Dowager Bo finally spoke and said, "Emperor, I heard that today you were angry and arrested many people? ”

When Liu Che heard this, he smiled and bowed his head and said: "Don't dare to deceive the queen mother, I think that some people in Chang'an City should get some lessons!" ”

When Empress Dowager Bo and Empress Dowager Dou heard this, their hearts immediately relaxed.

Since the emperor is still willing to talk to them about these things and is not impatient, it shows that the emperor still respects them.

Of course, the level of respect needs to be tempted.

So, Empress Dowager Dou asked: "Emperor, the mourning family heard that Xue Ze, the Marquis of Guangping, was arrested by the court lieutenant?" ”

When Liu Che heard this, he sat down and said with a smile: "Returning to the emperor's grandmother, there is indeed such a thing!" ”

"Guangping Hou Ze, the grandmother of the self-confident meritorious emperor, I have repeatedly taught it, but it has not changed after repeated teachings, and it is becoming more and more rampant!" Liu Che groaned: "Now they are actually colluding with bad businessmen, evil gentry, rangers, and ruffians, and the common people!" I have conclusive evidence that Xue Ze once instructed his master Xue Shun's retainer Wang Yi and other thugs to force the people to borrow money from his son, and the Zhang family, a native of North Sanli, Zhangtai Street, did not obey, and was beaten to death by him, and the son of the Zhang family had no way to sue, so he angrily committed suicide by jumping into the river from the Baqiao!"

Xue Ze has a very close relationship with Empress Dowager Dou.

His father, Xue Ou, used to be a pawn, which is now the Great Order.

When he was a pawn, he once helped Empress Dowager Dou to enter the dynasty.

With this incense, Xue Ou has been smooth sailing.

Historically, he has served as the commander of Jingfu, Chang'an Ling, Zhonglang General, and Daxing, and finally became the prime minister.

But in this timeline, he is already a tragedy.

Back then, the liehou tandem, because he jumped too high, was slapped to the ground by Liu Che, and kept rubbing.

In the end, it was the Empress Dowager Dou who interceded to avoid death.

But this scum is unrepentant, and has been thinking about making things happen at home.

Since the fifth year of Yuande, Xue Ou has begun to get close to several wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, especially the Wuyan clan, and Xue Ou has been with no one for a while.

Under the leadership of the Wuyan clan, Xue Ou began to get involved in the sub-money business.

At this beginning, it can't be stopped.

After the fall of the Wuyan clan, Xue Ou took advantage of the chaos and used his retainers and disciples as vests, indirectly began to control and control the inheritance of the Wuyan clan.

A large number of lackeys and thugs of the Wuyan clan were retained by him.

In this Chang'an transformation process, Xue Ou is the most radical one.

The human lives on his hands, judging from the investigation of the embroidered guards, are at least a dozen!

Therefore, on the issue of Xue Ze, Liu Che will not give Dou Tai an empress again.

This time, in the purge of Chang'an, there must be blood shed by the princes!

Xue Ze is the best choice!

But the Empress Dowager Dou still remembered the old relationship and said: "The mourning family had to wait for Xue Ou's help from Guangping back then, and had an old relationship with Kang Hou Xue Jing, so I really can't bear to wait for Kang Hou and have no heir!" I also ask the emperor to be considerate of the old heart of the mourning family......"

Empress Dowager Dou has always been like this.

Whoever treats her well, she can remember for a lifetime.

Like Yuan Ang and Xue Ze, it is because of the Empress Dowager Dou as a backer that they can always call for wind and rain.

There are also Guan Tao and King Liang, and it is also because of her that they have such a prominent status and power.

She didn't care what these people had done or what sins they had done.

This gave Liu Che a headache.

To be reasonable, the old grandmother pleaded, as a grandson, no matter how much she had to give face.

But the problem is that it is not the first time that Xue Ze has broken the law and has been pleaded for by Empress Dowager Dou.

It's not even the second time, it's not the third time!

This is the fourth time!

Since the second year of Yuande, he has committed four crimes and almost lost his head.

Every time, he was spared because of his father and grandfather's incense in front of the Empress Dowager Dou.

It's said that there are no more than three things.

For the fourth time, Liu Che forgave him again, then he was afraid that next time, he would blow up Chang'an!

Therefore, Liu Che shook his head resolutely and said: "Back to the emperor's grandmother, I have made up my mind, and Guangping Hou Ze will be ruled by law!" ”

This is already related to the majesty and sacredness of the Han law.

If Xue Ze pardons and pardons, you let the Manchu Dynasty be civil and military, how do you think of Han Law? What do you think of Tingwei?

Liu Che has no doubt that if Xue Ze does not correct the law this time, then Tingwei Zhao Yu may have to pick a son.

Legalists will be even more collectively dissatisfied!

What about the good punishment without grade?

Feelings, can it be special to please your Liu family?

Then do you want a legalist to do it?

It's easier for everyone to go home and farm!

Of course, Empress Dowager Dou's face can't be ignored, otherwise, there will be a break between the East Palace and the Weiyang Palace, and the impact will be very bad!

When it was spread, the people of the world would say that the emperor was not filial, which made the old grandmother sad all day long and never see each other again!

And the character of the Empress Dowager Dou did such a thing!

Therefore, Liu Che put down his body and explained softly: "Imperial grandmother, Xue Ze's crime is related to the safety of the society, if you can't cause Xue Ze, then Han Law will be reduced to nothing, and the people of the world will lose their fear of Han Law......"

"If this is not ......" Liu Che took the hand of the Empress Dowager Dou and said: "Grandson heard that there were four sons in the first respect, the eldest son Jing ascended the throne, and the remaining sons were scattered...... However, this Marquis of Guangping could not be kept, and it was changed in the name of posthumously honoring the country...... So, how? ”

If this is the case, the Empress Dowager Dou will still be strong, and Liu Che has no choice but to go to Guantao to persuade her.

It's really not good, slaughter Xue Ze, and come back to the guilt of Jing again.

It can't be said that Empress Dowager Dou thinks that Xue Ze is more important than her own grandson, right?

It doesn't make sense!

Empress Dowager Dou listened, but hesitated.

On the one hand, she felt that although Xue Ze was bad, he was the descendant of Xue Ou and Xue Jing, so he killed him like this, and she was still a little hesitant in her heart.

But on the other hand, what the emperor said also has a point.

Over the years, she has pleaded with Xue Ze three times, and this is the fourth time.

No matter what, the love of the year is also gone.

And the emperor also gave the stairs down.

Thinking like this, Empress Dowager Dou said: "Since the emperor said so, it is not good for the mourning family to say anything...... However......" Empress Dowager Dou thought about it in her heart and felt that it was still necessary to ask Xue Ze for another favor.

Since he can't be saved, it should be okay for him to die with dignity.

So Empress Dowager Dou said: "Emperor Taizong once set up: the system of not dishonoring each other, can the emperor give the mourning family a face, let Xue Ze be exempted from torture, and allow him to commit suicide?" ”

Suicide here is, of course, suicide.

But the question is, why did Liu Che give Xue Ze the opportunity to commit suicide?

You know, such templates and role models are hard to find.

There are 4,500 households in Guangping's marquis, and they have a close relationship with the East Palace, and the deterrent and deterrent power brought by such a liehou in the East City is far greater than others!

Liu Che shook his head and said, "Back to the imperial grandmother, it's not that I don't want to give the imperial grandmother this face, it's really intolerable under the laws of the country and the people in the world!" ”

will not disgrace this system, although it exists.

But not everyone has access to this system.

The trigger for this system is promising - the noble/minister who committed the crime is guilty and pleads guilty immediately at the time of the crime.

Otherwise, why did the emperor give you this face?

Historically, Zhou Bogong was highly virtuous, but he could not get this treatment, and he could end his life with dignity.

How can Xue Ze let Liu Che open up for him?

The Empress Dowager Dou was a little puzzled.

In her opinion, it was a matter of effort.

At this moment, a eunuch outside the hall hurriedly ran in, holding a large number of notes, and bowed: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, the Northern and Southern Armies, the Tiger Benwei, the Yulin Guard, the Xiliu Battalion, the Thorn Gate Army, the Bashang Army, and the officers above Sima are all handing over blood books and playing them in the Bus Department!" ”

"Fifty-eight marquis, including the general Dongcheng Hou Yizong, the former general Nanwu Hou Zhang Yi, and the Wei general Zhidu, and forty-five feudal monarchs, all gathered in the Beique City Tower, wanting to beat the drum!"

Not only the Empress Dowager Dou, but even the Empress Dowager Bo was shocked when she heard it!

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, there has never been so many active military officers and liehou feudal lords jointly playing, and even developed to the point that the generals and princes want to beat the drum and voice their grievances!

And no one can ignore the voices and demands of these people.

Because they represent the military aristocratic system of the entire Han Empire and the collective demands of all soldiers.

To put it mildly, if one is not handled well, there is a high possibility of mutiny.

If the army gets out of control, this Chang'an will immediately be full of gunsmoke.

When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she exclaimed: "What happened to the generals, the princes, and the generals? ”

Empress Dowager Bo also hurriedly asked, "How is the army?" ”

Even people like Empress Dowager Bo who don't understand politics and the army now understand how strong these generals and princes have become!

Only Liu Che showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ever since he unleashed the monster of the military nobleman, he has been waiting for the opportunity to introduce it to the world.

Now, there's no better chance than ever.

Let the people of the world, especially the bureaucrats, open their eyes and see clearly who is the master and the ruling class of this country.
