Chapter 058: The Empress Dowager Bo Clan
On this day, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, and Prime Minister Shen Tujia talked a lot.
From the time of Emperor Taizu Gao, Han Wangxin defected and rebelled against Han and Hu, which led to the first large-scale battle of Han and Hungary: the Battle of Pingcheng;
In this battle, Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang advanced lightly and fell into the siege of Baideng.
From the time of Emperor Xiaowen of Taizong, the first emperor planned for many years, and finally decided to fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu in the Taiyuan area;
Later, Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, rebelled, so that the first emperor could only dispel the idea of a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, and stabilized the Xiongnu through peace, so as to turn back and quell the rebellion.
In the end, the two of them talked very tacitly about the past of Prince Wu.
The more he talked, the more Liu Qi felt that many of his ideas actually coincided with Shen Tujia.
- For example, Emperor Taizu Gao was trapped in the siege of Baideng, which shows that if the Han family wants to solve the Huns, it must have the means or types of troops to contain the Hun cavalry;
At worst, they must have enough cavalry to compete with the Huns, that is, 'cavalry against cavalry'.
And when it comes to the rebellion of Liu Xingju, the king of Jibei, and Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, and the past incident of the 'Prince of Wu', the two monarchs and ministers came to the conclusion very tacitly: If you go outside, you must first settle inside!
In order to concentrate on dealing with external threats, the Han family must first solve internal problems!
When he said this, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, even rarely showed a smile, and when he looked at Shen Tujia, his eyes were full of recognition and joy.
But in the end, on the issue of "Cutting the Domain", the two monarchs and ministers still failed to reach an agreement.
- Liu Qi believes that although Chao Cuo's "Cutting Domain" is a bit eager for quick success, today's Han Dynasty has reached a critical moment of 'heavy poison should be treated with fierce medicine';
However, Shen Tujia believes that no matter what the situation of the Han family is today, Chao's wrong "Cutting Domain" will make the situation swoop in a direction that is even more unfavorable to the central part of Chang'an.
At the end of the conversation, Liu Qizi blackened his face again;
As for Shen Tujia, he quietly left the begging watch in his seat, dropped a sentence of 'Your Majesty thinks twice', and quietly retreated.
In the next few days, the Chang'an court fell into a strange tranquility.
There are departments and departments that are operating normally, and the court meeting held every five days is held as usual, and Prime Minister Shen Tujia and Neishi Chao Cuo have never been absent, but no one has taken the initiative to mention the "Cutting Domain" again.
It wasn't until spring and April, more than 20 days after the 'Taimiao' incident, that the strange tranquility of the Chang'an court was broken by a change without warning.
- Empress Dowager Bo, summoned Liu Qi, the son of heaven, to the palace for an audience······
·
"Stand down."
When Liu Qi appeared in the Changxin Hall of Changle Palace with apprehension, there were only a few figures left in the huge palace room;
And after the whisper of the Empress Dowager Bo, even the last few people quietly retreated.
——Including the biological mother of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, and the Empress Dowager of the Dynasty: Dou Family······
"Get on your knees."
The people withdrew, and the doors of the temple were shut;
When only the Empress Dowager Bo and the Son of Heaven Liu Qi were left in the palace, an indifferent command sounded on the royal couch;
If you let outsiders see that there is actually someone and let Liu Qi, the son of heaven, kneel down, you will definitely feel that this person is bold!
But when Bo said 'kneel', his tone was so indifferent that it was like saying: Sit down.
After a short period of stunned, Liu Qi quickly adjusted his face and knelt down in the center of the hall obediently.
When he raised his head again, Liu Qi finally saw that his grandmother, the Empress Dowager Bo, should have shown a weak and sickly face, and there was once again that shocking coldness and contempt for everything·······
"If you are not virtuous, you can do it;"
"If the minister is disloyal, he can be killed."
"The dignified body of the Son of Heaven was forced by his subordinates to the point where he had to destroy the Taimiao in order to compete with him?"
asked with a calm expression, and the sharp gaze of the Empress Dowager Bo was only locked on Liu Qiyin's somewhat panicked face;
After a while, I saw Bo Shi look away, coughed lightly, and shook his head slightly towards Liu Qi's side.
"Since you are already the Son of Heaven, it is inappropriate to let others beat you;"
"Emperor, let's do it yourself."
Hearing this, Liu Qi slowly turned his head sideways, and saw an old bamboo ring ruler lying quietly on the ground not far from him.
Almost without any hesitation, Liu Qi stepped forward to pick up the ring ruler, and then returned to the center of the hall and knelt down, slapping the ring ruler on his palm.
syllable
Syllable;
Syllable.
The very regular beating sound makes people feel as if they have heard the rhythm of the music;
But if you know that this slapping sound is actually the Son of Heaven Liu Qi is 'corporal punishment' of himself, then I am afraid that no one dares to appreciate the graceful rhythm.
I don't know how long later, when Liu Qi's palms were already red, and the corners of his forehead were covered with cold sweat, the cold voice of the Empress Dowager Bo sounded again.
"The wall of the Taimiao can be patched?"
Liu Qi was silent, only nodded heavily;
"What about the man who chiseled the wall?"
Liu Qi nodded again.
At this time, the cold color on Empress Dowager Bo's face was once again replaced by the gloom of the usual day;
seemed to be extremely tired with a long sigh, and slowly lay down on the couch, but the Empress Dowager Bo's preaching to Liu Qi was not over.
"After that incident, Ah Qi has grown a lot;"
"But after succeeding to the throne, the emperor focused too much on power and scheming······"
"—As a descendant, destroy the temple of the ancestors and disturb the spirits of the ancestors;"
"-As the Son of Heaven, he doesn't think about being upright, but manipulates power all day long, and does his best to conspire and trick himself."
"Have you ever thought about this incident and what the consequences will be?"
Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager Bo was still lying on the couch weakly, only opening her eyes slightly and turning her head slightly.
"Now there are rumors on the streets of Chang'an: the internal history is wrong, and the outer wall of the Taimiao Temple has been chiseled;"
"If this rumor goes out of Chang'an, I'm afraid it will become 'chiseled the temple wall of the Taimiao'."
"Wait until you get out of Guanzhong, pass through the Liang Kingdom, and then pass it to Wu, Chu and ······"
"——If the thief starts an incident with the 'Emperor digging the Emperor's Mausoleum', how should the emperor respond?"
"Taking such a risk, just to let Shen Tujia know that it is difficult to retreat?"
"Just to let Shen Tujia know that the emperor can even ignore the temple of the ancestors for the sake of "Cutting the Domain"?"
"In case Shen Tujia didn't retreat in spite of the difficulties, or even died of anger directly in the prime minister's office······"
In the end, Empress Dowager Bo only quietly stopped talking, and stood up slightly with a gloomy expression;
looked at Liu Qi's gaze, and it was even more sarcastic with the naked eye.
"Emperor, that's the idea, right?"
"Chisel the wall of the Taimiao, at the risk of being pointed out by the world, just to see if Shen Tujia will be angry to death?"
