Raising Du Qiao to the position of Tai Lieutenant is not only to be able to fight against Liang Ji, but also to protect him.

Taiwei is the head of the three princes and nine kings, if under normal circumstances, the power should be above the general, but now it is good to be able to barely balance Liang Ji.

But in the same way, if Liang Ji wants to move him, it is not so easy.

"It's just that Hu Guang is not at fault, it is impossible to dismiss him for no reason, and there is no way to explain it to the ministers at that time."

Although the plan is good, it is a little troublesome to implement, which is also what worries Empress Dowager Liang the most.

Cao Teng said with a smile: "If the Queen Mother really wants Hu Guang to leave the court, it will be easy. ”

Empress Dowager Liang was overjoyed, "If this is the case, I know that you have a way, hurry up and listen to it." ”

"That Hu Guang is old, his spleen and stomach are not good, he can't eat ointment, otherwise the diarrhea will not stop, and the Queen Mother will only need to ...... tomorrow"

The more she spoke, the quieter she became, but Empress Dowager Liang's eyes lit up, "This plan is wonderful, hahaha......"

The two of them stopped talking, and Empress Dowager Liang was relieved, with Cao Teng's support, she believed that she would be able to restrain her brother and no longer let him do whatever he wanted.

Of course, Liu Zhi didn't know anything about all this, and he didn't have the ability to think about national affairs now.

He was in a good mood today, and came back in the evening to take the initiative to review his homework for a while, and then went to bed.

On the second day, the day of the five-day meeting, he got up early, as usual, to prepare for the court.

Who knew that after all the people arrived, the Empress Dowager Liang did not appear for a long time, and waited and waited, almost half an hour passed, and the Empress Dowager was late.

Her face was pale, her expression was a little tired, and she forced a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am feeling a little unwell today, so I am late, I hope you will forgive me." ”

All the courtiers immediately expressed their concern, and the Empress Dowager Liang also expressed her gratitude, and after a long time, she went for another half an hour.

Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager Liang signaled everyone to start the discussion, and I don't know why, there are a lot of things today, and the courtiers are the same as usual, noisy and difficult to decide.

But Empress Dowager Liang just listened to everyone's opinions very carefully today, but she didn't make up her mind.

dragged on one after another, seeing that it was almost noon, and several older courtiers had been kneeling by the desk, and they were a little unbearable for a long time.

A long court meeting, like a meeting in later generations, can take leave to change clothes halfway.

Of course, this so-called changing clothes is just a more elegant way of saying it, in fact, it is to go to the toilet, move your muscles and bones by the way, or replenish some water and food.

Hu Guang is not in good health, and he has made up his mind to spend his life in a mess, and he is very impatient with such trivial things. Seeing that the time was not early, I retired and went to change clothes.

He was not allowed to bring his own attendants in the palace, so as soon as he came out, two inconspicuous little eunuchs came over with low eyebrows and lowered eyes.

Everything was no different from weekdays, Hu Guang didn't care, he went to the toilet first, came out to clean his hands, and planned to walk around the yard twice to loosen up.

At this time, a famous waiter walked over with a plate of pastries, and the tempting fragrance rushed straight to his nose, and Hu Guang smelled that the taste was his favorite shortbread.

Suddenly felt his stomach growling, so he beckoned him to ask casually, "Is this shortbread made of grease or ointment?" ”

In the Han Dynasty, the ointment referred to animal oil, and the grease was vegetable oil, which was clearly distinguished.

The waiter replied in the affirmative, "Captain Hui, this shortbread is made of fat." ”

Hearing that grease was used, Hu Guang was immediately relieved, "Give me this plate first, and then you can serve another plate." ”

Things like him are also common in the palace, not to mention that Hu Guang is the first of the three princes, with a lofty status, and naturally no one cares about some small things.

Sure enough, the waiter didn't say anything, and directly handed the plate of shortbread to the people who followed behind Hu Guang, and turned around and went in the direction of the imperial dining room.

After a long morning, Hu Guang was already hungry, and the shortbread was fried to a very fragrant and crispy point, and he was full of fragrance in his mouth, and he unconsciously ate all the plates in one go.

As soon as he finished wiping his hands, Hu Guang felt a chaotic sound in his abdomen, and he hurriedly ran to the toilet in a panic.

This time it was like taking root, and his legs were weak, and he stood up, and the two attendants who were waiting saw that his face was blue, and they were also startled, and hurried to report to the Queen Mother.

I heard that Taiwei Hu Guang's illness is not light, and the Queen Mother is also very concerned, "It just so happens that I have a Taiwei accompanied me today, so hurry up and give Taiwei Hu a look." ”

The imperial doctor didn't dare to delay, and immediately hurried away, endured the stench to check his pulse, asked about the situation, and hurriedly prescribed medicine for people to decoction.

After pouring a bowl of medicine, the diarrhea stopped, but before he got up, he fell to the ground again and fainted.

At this moment, the entire Chongde Hall was alarmed, and the waiters hurriedly moved him to the apse temporarily, and the Queen Mother attached great importance to it, and hurriedly asked another imperial doctor to come over.

The two imperial doctors consulted very carefully, and then cautiously came to report.

"Empress Dowager Bing, Taiwei Hu should be ...... Stroke. ”

"Stroke?"

Empress Dowager Liang was surprised, "Mrs. Hu was fine just now, why did he have diarrhea for a while and have a stroke?" ”

"Empress Dowager Qi, there are already signs in Taiwei Hu's body, and this sudden diarrhea just caused the disease to break out in advance."

So it turned out that everyone suddenly realized that it seemed that Mrs. Hu was useless in this life, and even if he could wake up after that, he would definitely have sequelae and would not be able to deal with complicated things.

Stroke was a terminal illness in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even if it was detected in time, it could only be done at most

Ease it down a little, there is no cure.

"Alas, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, come here, give me a strict investigation, who deceived Taiwei Hu, you must find out for me and punish him severely."

The Queen Mother was furious, and the little eunuch who delivered the shortbread was quickly found, but he cried out that he was wronged, saying that this plate of shortbread was also transferred from halfway through.

The man asked him to send it to the door of the Chongde Palace, and said that it was fried with grease, he was just a low-level waiter, how could he dare to disobey, and he didn't know that Taiwei Hu couldn't eat ointment, how could he deliberately deceive.

This matter was traced all the way to the past, involving many attendants in the palace, among which some small yellow doors were also involved, and everyone in the palace was in danger for a while.

Although many people were punished in the end, the matter was not settled.

It's just that a discerning person can see that most of the eunuchs who were punished were from Liang Ji.

Don't...... The main messenger behind this matter turned out to be a general?

It seems that even if you cater to the general in every possible way, you may not be able to end well.

Many people have begun to play Xiao Jiujiu and begin to think about their future way out.

These are all afterwords, at this moment Taiwei Hu suddenly fell ill, and the Empress Dowager Liang sent him back to the mansion to recuperate, and specially sent the imperial doctor over.

The court discussion here was not interrupted, and it continued to begin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who can succeed to the post of Taiwei Hu due to his illness?"

Empress Dowager Liang looked around and slowly spoke.
