Chapter 316: The Real Power is in the Hands of the Empress Dowager Dou (1)

Changle Palace, in the Changxin Palace

Qiao Mu looked at the blurred scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, although the original body was not blind this time, but in fact, it was not far from blindness, extremely serious glaucoma and cataracts, basically to the point where someone had to help him walk, otherwise he might fall, or something else.

This time, the original body was the Empress Dowager Dou.

Empress Dowager Dou of the Western Han Dynasty.

The wife of the acting king, after Emperor Wen, the mother of Emperor Jing, the grandmother of Emperor Wu, the power of the two dynasties, is a queen mother who has always implemented the learning of Huang Lao, denied Liu Che, refused war, and hoped to rest in peace with the people.

Of course, in the Wudi Dynasty.

It should be called the Empress Dowager Dou.

After reading the memory of the original body, Qiao Mu immediately understood the two regrets of the original body, one was that he was blind at a young age, and his life was quite difficult.

Another is that his granddaughter Chen Ajiao should not be allowed to marry her grandson Liu Che, so that her granddaughter finally died alone.

To sum it up, there are two wishes.

One is to regain her sight, and the other is to make her granddaughter Chen Ajiao's life more comfortable.

Hope to protect her.

Of course, like this kind of original body who worries about the country and the people, there are some deep-seated wishes, and the deep-seated wish of the Empress Dowager Dou is to hope that fewer people will die in the war, even if it can't prevent Liu Che from going to war, she also hopes that the people of the Han Dynasty can die less.

This point, in fact, Qiao Mu understands quite well.

The various wars fought during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were indeed very beautiful, and the Xiongnu who did kill were almost terrified, but the degree of civil economic withering and population reduction during his reign was also unprecedented, and almost all the things accumulated by his father and grandfather for two generations were consumed.

At the beginning of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, the total population of the country was less than 20 million, and at the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the population once increased to more than 50 million, and after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the population fell to less than 30 million again, and the population of less than 30 million does not mean that it only disappeared more than 20 million.

Take into account the organic growth rate.

The actual number of people who disappeared should be higher.

The main reason why it is used here to describe disappearance is that the decline in population is not necessarily due to death.

In ancient times, the death of the population, the black households and the hidden households, were all regarded as the disappearance of the population, such as the death of the Huns and the death of war, and then the death of starvation.

A large number of people could not pay their taxes and fled to the mountains and forests to become black households, which were one of the main factors in the population decline of the Wudi Dynasty.

But even so, according to Qiao Mu's own estimates, the real death population should be more than 10 million, which is definitely a rather terrible number, Empress Dowager Dou, as a person who has always admired Huang Lao's learning, is naturally difficult to accept that ordinary people of the Han Dynasty have suffered such a big loss.

Therefore, there are a total of three wishes that Qiao Mu wants to fulfill this time, one is to restore his sight, the other is to help Chen Ajiao, and the last one is to minimize the number of war deaths of the Han Dynasty.

Overall, the first two are easy to handle.

The main thing is that the third one is a bit tough.

But in fact, it is not difficult, after all, the tiger talisman is still in her hands now, and it has not been handed over to Liu Che yet.

Now in this court, she speaks more effectively than Liu Che, and some things are naturally not difficult to do, even Liu Che did not dare to abolish Chen Ajiao's throne when the original Empress Dowager Dou was alive.

At most, cold violence or something.

This also shows the power and prestige of the Empress Dowager Dou.

Just as he was thinking about something, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the side, followed by a crisp inquiry.

"Your Majesty, can you get up, the emperor and the queen are already waiting outside the palace and want to see you!"

After the waitress Zhong Kuijie entered the house, she whispered.

Because the middle-aged eyes of the Empress Dowager Dou are not very good, her ear power is excellent, and the female officials and concubines in the palace all know about it, so when she talks to the Empress Dowager Dou, she will lower her voice a little, so as not to disturb her ears.

Qiao Mu put his hand on the hand of the vague figure in front of him according to his native habit, and said with a smile:

"Don't put on makeup, help me put on some clothes and go, so as not to make Che'er and Gillian wait."

"Yes, or Your Majesty's kindness."

As she spoke, Zhong Kuijie, a waitress who was comparable to a second-grade official, hurriedly waved her hand and motioned to the ladies behind her to step forward to help Qiao Mu wash her clothes.

Because I said not to put on makeup, I did it quickly, just clean my face, comb a woman's hair in a bun, and put on a thin dress.

After dressing up, Qiao Mu went to the front hall to meet people under the leadership of a group of female officials.

The front hall of the Nagasshin Hall

Liu Che was whispering relief to Chen Ajiao:

"Gillian, I really didn't go to other palaces yesterday, and I stayed in Weiyang Palace all the time."

"I don't believe it, don't think I don't know that you hunt and shoot in the forest garden with a group of people all day long, and would rather ride and hunt with those rough men than come to my place.

You must still be thinking about attacking the Huns......"

Chen Ajiao was full of grief and indignation at this time.

The mood is particularly angry and dissatisfied.

Women's emotions are inherently sensitive, not to mention women in love, in recent years, Chen Ajiao can clearly feel Liu Che's perfunctory treatment of her, and sometimes she can even feel Liu Che's dislike for her, and even unwilling to see her.

Only every time he came to his grandmother to complain, he would say some kind and soft words, but after a while, it was back to the same.

It may even worsen.

Over the years, she's had enough.

"Gillian, have you forgotten the fate of those lords who kissed you, how can this hatred be eliminated......"

Before Liu Che finished speaking, he had already heard the voice of the Empress Dowager outside, and hurriedly stopped the words that had come to his lips, there were some things he could say to Chen Ajiao, but he couldn't say it in front of the Empress Dowager, especially if he disagreed with the Empress Dowager, otherwise he would have to be reprimanded.

And the Queen Mother's ears are pointy.

Naturally, I simply didn't say anything.

After Qiao Mu came in, as soon as he saw the expressions on the faces of the two of them, he knew that they had a conflict again, after all, this was not the first time, in the memory of the original body, this situation had happened many times, so he was not in a hurry, and slowly sat down on the seat, and then said:

"Gillian, it's the past again.

Needless to say, the mourning family already knew.

It's not a thing that you've been like this all the time, since the relationship has faded, just reconcile.

The two of you are the first emperor couple in history to be reconciled, and you can't say that even if you don't do anything, you can go down in history, otherwise if you two go on like this, sooner or later you will become a grudge.

I'm still alive, so you naturally don't dare to do anything to Gillian, but if I go one day, I'm afraid that Gillian's future position will have to be abolished and make room for some people, besides, the two of you are too close to each other, and you shouldn't have married.

Kui Jie, pass on the will of the mourning family, let the eldest princess and the ministers of the second rank and above in the court, and the Liu family clan come together, there must be a solution to this matter today, and it can't be delayed any longer. ”
