Emperor Ling watched Zhang Rang be so bold that he was ready to murder himself and change him to a puppet candidate he could control. At this time, Emperor Ling has more than 30 years of life experience, how can he let Zhang Rang succeed?

"Zhang Rang! My throne has been greeted by the military generals in the palace, and has been recognized by the ministers! If you slay me in front of everyone, within three days, a military general will come from his fiefdom with an army, and you and other servants will cut me with a thousand swords, and even ten tribes! ”

When Zhang Rang heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. But now he is riding a tiger and it is difficult to get down, if he does not kill the emperor, he will die; Kill the emperor, you will die even worse! If he could get away with killing Emperor Ling and choosing a weaker Han clan relative to inherit the throne, then he might be able to escape.

Done! Zhang Rang and the ten permanent servants glanced at each other, and they all nodded, Zhang Rang pointed the knife in his hand at the Spirit Emperor, and shouted in his mouth: "The little emperor is crazy, he is not worthy of being the emperor, you come forward with me and capture the little emperor!" ”

Emperor Ling stood on the dragon chair, pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven, raised it high, and shouted at the eunuchs with weapons in their hands: "As long as you put down your weapons, I will add three taels of silver to each person's monthly rule, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" ”

The eunuchs with knives couldn't help but be tempted, adding three taels of silver every month, enough for their parents' living expenses for a year, and they could still save some silver, wouldn't it be better to live this life? And he can also be promoted to the third level, which is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing. Many eunuchs couldn't help but put the tip of their knives down, and they didn't want to do the stupid thing of killing again.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will defend them with death and kill the eunuchs!" Seeing that the emperor was so young and suddenly became so bold and wise, the ministers of the court and the central government all stood up and burst into tears, ready to fight to the death for the eunuch with the weapon in his hand to protect the resolute young emperor.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Ling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but it was not safe, Emperor Ling looked around, and then shouted: "Where is the captain of the forbidden army?" ”

I only heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the Golden Palace, and a soldier with a thick voice responded loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister Liu Na led 500 forbidden soldiers, and the rescue was late, please forgive me!" ”

The gate of the Golden Palace was wide open, and all the Praetorian Guards rushed in, all their swords pointing at the eunuchs with weapons.

Emperor Ling looked at the hesitation of the eunuchs, so he added another fire: "Everyone, I still say the same thing, put down the butcher's knife, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" ”

"Bang la-" There was a knife sound, and all the eunuchs put down their weapons and fell to their knees.

Liu Na gave an order, and the guards tied up all the eunuchs and waited for the Spirit Emperor to fall.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—" I heard a shout, and a majestic old lady in palace clothes walked in from outside.

"See the Queen Mother!" The ministers bowed their hands, but when they saw that the Queen Mother ignored them, they ran straight to General Dou's corpse and cried loudly.

Only then did Emperor Ling understand that it was Empress Dowager Dou who came, and at that time Emperor Ling was only a distant relative of the Han family, living in poverty, and the family was in decline. After the death of Emperor Heng, there was no son to inherit the throne, but a servant named Liu Lu [tiáo] recommended the young Liu Hong to the Empress Dowager Dou.

When Empress Dowager Dou saw that Liu Hong was young and obedient, she was immediately overjoyed. He and the general Dou Wu led hundreds of civil and military officials to kneel to welcome Liu Hong to succeed to the throne, which is now Emperor Ling.

Immediately, Emperor Ling stepped forward, took the hand of the Empress Dowager Dou and said: "The Empress Dowager mourns, I have arrested the murderer Zhang Rang and more than a dozen other permanent attendants, and what awaits them will be a heinous criminal law!" ”

Emperor Ling summoned Situ Hu Guang to come forward again, looking at this 80-year-old old minister who was still in the imperial court, Hu Guang was a loyal minister of the Han family in history, and it was worth believing. Therefore, Emperor Ling had the idea of giving Zhang Rang's rebellion case to Hu Guang.

"Hu Situ, General Dou and Chen Fanzhong are all over the place, and now I have appointed you as the Taifu to deal with the case of Zhang Rang's rebellion. This time, the eunuchs are in chaos, and the focus is on the middle and regular servants, and they must be strictly interrogated and dealt with strictly! ”

He burst into tears and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister will handle this matter properly."

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Emperor Ling's thin body couldn't bear the tension and felt particularly tired, so he waved his hand to the ministers: "Let's retreat today." ”

The ministers withdrew from the Golden Palace, and Emperor Ling helped the Empress Dowager Dou, got into the sedan chair, and went straight back to the harem.

As soon as she arrived at the harem, Empress Dowager Dou changed her sad look and said to the emperor: "Hong'er, ten permanent attendants, let them go." ”

Emperor Ling was shocked in his heart, and in history, the ten permanent servants (ten eunuchs) were the Emperor of the Spirit, the Young Emperor, and the Emperor Xian, which shattered the great country and eventually led to the destruction of the Han Dynasty!

Now, it is not easy to subdue these ten eunuchs who seek power and profit, how can there be a reason to let the tiger return to the mountain, he suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked: "Queen Mother, why do you say this?" ”

Empress Dowager Dou retreated left and right, and said to Emperor Ling: "Hong'er, although you are the emperor, you are still young, and you need to guard against ambitious ministers in the court, these ministers recruit troops in their respective fiefdoms, called the ministers of the Han family, they are actually princes from all sides, and the Han family is now facing a huge crisis!" However, the ten permanent servants are loyal, and only they are the ones who truly protect the royal family. ”

Emperor Ling pretended to understand, nodded, and said, "What about the enmity between General Dou and Taifu Chen?" ”

"When you grow up, you can take revenge." Empress Dowager Dou said with a calm face.

Emperor Ling's face flashed a look that did not match his age, and said, "Queen Mother, I know, I will inform Mrs. Hu." ”

"Well, Hong'er is still sensible," he said, and ordered a eunuch to come over and said, "Little chestnut, accompany the emperor to Taifu Hu's mansion." ”

I saw that the young eunuch's eyes flashed and he was very clever. Emperor Ling knew that this was the eyeliner arranged by the Queen Mother, and he could transmit the results to her in time.

It was the first time that Emperor Ling went to the minister's mansion after the next dynasty.

A small yellow sedan chair, the little chestnut on the side to lead the way, half an hour, to the gate of the Taifu Mansion, because the holy decree has not yet come down, the plaque on the Taifu Mansion is still the three big characters of Situ Mansion.

Hearing that Emperor Ling had arrived outside the house, 80-year-old Hu Guang didn't have time to put on his shoes, so he hurried to the door barefoot, and was about to kneel down, but was supported by Emperor Ling's hands, but he couldn't kneel.

Hu Guang was shocked in his heart, Your Majesty is extraordinary, only 13 years old, he has such divine power, I can't kneel down with a gentle support!

"Could it be that the resurgence of the Han Dynasty is on this son?" Hu Guang trembled and welcomed Emperor Ling into the study, closed the door, and ordered a few Hu family soldiers to guard the door.

The little chestnut looked east and west, but he couldn't find the opportunity to eavesdrop, and when he saw that there was no one at the window, he looked around, and when no one noticed him, he quietly walked under the window, pretending to be tired of walking unintentionally, and rested here, but his ears were erect, and he tried to eavesdrop on the voices inside.

The little chestnut licked the window paper with his tongue, revealing a small hole, and the little chestnut looked in from the hole and saw the emperor and the prince sitting down in the position of monarch and minister, and their mouths kept moving, but they couldn't hear any sound.

Little Chestnut didn't know that on a beam opposite the window, a black shadow sat on it, monitoring the little eunuch under the window. Then, the black shadow pointed at the little chestnut's eavesdropping place, and an invisible shield separated him from the window, and although the eyes could see, they could not hear the slightest sound.

......

Let's say that Emperor Ling entered the study with Hu Guang and invited Emperor Ling to sit down, and Mrs. Hu sat down and asked, "Your Majesty is here, do you want to change the disposition of the ten permanent servants?" ”

Emperor Ling couldn't stop nodding in his heart, the 80-year-old minister, not only in good health, but also quick thinking, if it wasn't for rebirth, Emperor Ling would definitely think that this old minister would live for ten or eight years, not two years later, Hu Taifu died without illness and passed away.

"Taifu, the ten lieutenants will be acquitted and reinstated in two days." Emperor Ling said to Hu Guang calmly.

"No! Your Majesty, if the Ten Standing Servants are released, it will be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and in the end, it will definitely cause a catastrophe to Your Majesty! Seeing that Emperor Ling had the idea of releasing the Ten Standing Attendants, Hu Guang disregarded the etiquette, stood up, and loudly stopped Emperor Ling's words.

"Presumptuous!" The Young Spirit Emperor slapped his little hand on the table, and he was angry, pointing directly at Hu Guang.
