Chapter 11 The Suspicion of Monarchs and Ministers
"Hussar General Dong Chong, see Your Majesty, see Queen Mother."
Dong Chong ran in as soon as he slipped through the smoke, raised his hand to salute, and said loudly.
It's really a hussar general who can't leave it.
Liu Wei looked at He Jin in front of him, and the corners of his mouth were a little playful and did not talk.
This Dong family is a relative of the previous one, and he used to be famous.
To say that in this Han Dynasty, relatives are in power, it is really an ancestral system.
Starting from the Lu family, there is no need to say much about the Empress Lu, and then there is the Huo family, Huo Guang is called a, the abolished emperor has been set up separately, and then there is the Wang family, Wang Mang is more awesome than Huo Guang, and he directly usurped the throne, the Dou family in the Eastern Han Dynasty is also lawless, the emperor's relatives are not in his eyes, and the Liang family is behind, this family is also awesome, hereditary general, abolishing the three emperors and forcing one emperor to death!
After the Liang family was destroyed, the Han Dynasty began the eunuch dictatorship, and after several decades, the relatives rose again, and He Jin, the uncle of the country, leaned towards the government and the opposition.
Liu Wei didn't speak, and the Empress Dowager He and the Dong family also had a lot of grievances, so naturally they didn't have a good face and ate by themselves.
He Jin lost face in front of Liu Wei, sat up straight at this time, did not turn his head, and said in a deep voice: "What qualifications do you have to come here?" ”
Dong Chong was still a little afraid of He Jin, especially this hussar general had to agree with He Jin, and said with a cautious smile: "Go back to the general, the lower officials will follow the order and persuade the empress dowager to leave the palace." ”
He Jin looked at the Empress Dowager He and asked.
Empress Dowager He snorted coldly and said, "She is from a family background, so it is not appropriate to stay in the palace." ”
He Jin understood that Empress Dowager Dong wanted to establish Liu Xie, but Empress Dowager He was categorically incompatible, and said: "No need to persuade, I will send someone to escort her out of the palace!" ”
Dong Chong was taken aback, and said urgently: "The Empress Dowager said that she can go out, that is, she wants to take the King of Bohai with her." ”
As soon as Liu Wei wanted to speak, Empress Dowager He said directly: "Let her take it, brother, you send someone to watch them, and you don't allow them to collude with the courtiers anymore!" ”
He Jin also felt that it was a good thing to let the Empress Dowager Dong and the prince leave Kyoto, no one threatened his nephew's throne anymore, and his general naturally sat more steadily, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to arrange it." ”
"I don't agree!"
Liu Wei directly vetoed it, saying: "Grandmother can leave, but the ninth brother can't." Dong Chong, you go and tell your grandmother, this matter is settled! ”
Dong Zhong was very reluctant to go to the Empress Dowager Dong again, but seeing Liu Wei's resolute tone, his lips moved, so he had to say, "Yes." ”
Empress Dowager He was a little unhappy, and argued with Liu: "Bian'er, isn't it a good thing that the old woman and Liu Xie left?" Why do you have to keep that Liu Xie? ”
He Jin said: "I also think it's useless to keep Liu Xie, so I will send someone to send them out of the palace." ”
He Jin's face was full of flesh, even if he didn't speak, he was fierce, and the momentum of the superior was even more compelling, as if he was not talking to the emperor, but more like talking to his subordinates.
Liu Wei was expressionless and said, "It's decided." General, my enthronement ceremony, my father's funeral, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army are in turmoil outside, so many things need to be coordinated by you, so don't waste time in the palace. ”
Liu Wei hated He Jin a little and didn't want to continue to fight with him.
He Jin was stunned, this is this...... Drive me away?
His eyes glared angrily, and he became more and more dissatisfied with this nephew in his heart, and he no longer forbeared, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Xie can't stay, and then Empress Dowager Dong can't stay!" I'll take care of it! ”
In his opinion, this eldest nephew was helped up by him, and the twelve permanent servants were basically eliminated by him, and no one in the entire Han could not listen to him!
Liu Wei's 'disobedience' against him made him very angry!
Liu Wei and He Jin looked at each other, and anger surged in their hearts.
Does He Jin really care about any proportion?
Liu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, did not back down at all, and said: "This matter, I will hand it over to Dong Zhong to deal with, and the general will not bother." There are so many things to do, so I won't leave the general to eat. ”
He Jin's face trembled, his eyes were like copper bells, and he looked like a butcher, ready to kill a pig.
Liu Wei didn't expect He Jin to be so imposing, so he couldn't help but sit up straight, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were firm and confrontational.
Seeing that her heart trembled suddenly, Empress Dowager He quickly stood up, blocked the two of them with her head, and hurriedly said, "Brother, try this soup, I made it myself." This matter is up to me, the old woman leaves the palace, and Liu Xie stays. ”
Immediately, he turned his head again, looked at Liu Bian, frowned, but said with a smile: "Bian'er, you taste this." Uncle Ling is also for your good, don't be angry with your uncle, you will be an adult soon. ”
He Empress Dowager was so relieved, He Jin seemed to realize that something was wrong, restrained his expression, and forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Since the Empress Dowager said so, then according to the Empress Dowager, I will go first." ”
He Jin didn't look at Liu Wei again, got up and left.
Liu Wei looked at his back, and the anger in his heart could not be extinguished.
These relatives, especially the powerful grow up, are easy to devour the lord!
Jian Shuo saw it clearly from the side, his expression was dark, and his waist was bowed deeper.
Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Wei with a complicated expression, and stopped talking.
She can't understand this son anymore, Liu Wei was timid and timid in the past, and she didn't dare to speak loudly.
But since he succeeded to the throne and became the emperor, his heart has changed greatly, not only in the Deyang Palace, but also in the Deyang Palace, he quelled the palace change, and even dared to choke with his uncle, the general He Jin.
Liu Wei couldn't guess the Empress Dowager He's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Queen Mother, I am now the emperor, you are the empress dowager, we can't be a man with our tail between our legs like before, we are afraid of my father, I am afraid of my grandmother, I am afraid of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, I want to be an emperor who is not afraid of anyone." ”
Empress Dowager He looked at Liu Bian, and suddenly remembered the days when the first emperor wanted to abolish Liu Biao and replace Liu Xie, and couldn't help but feel sour, her eyes were red, she got up and hugged Liu Bian, and cried: "Don't be afraid, with the queen mother, no one can bully you!" ”
Liu Wei was stunned, why did he cry?
Empress Dowager He cried for a long time, then let go of Liu Bian, wiped her eyes with her back to Jian Shuo, Pan Yin and others, and said softly to Liu Bian: "Let's talk well with mother and son in the evening, I'll go and tidy up my appearance first." ”
Liu Wei nodded, and waited for the Empress Dowager He to leave, then he breathed a sigh of relief, he was the least able to act in this kind of emotional drama.
Immediately, he caught a glimpse of Jian Shuo and Pan Yin with their heads down, his heart moved, and he said to Pan Yin: "Come here." ”
Pan Yin trotted in front of Liu Wei and bowed, his face extremely respectful.
"Come here with your ears." Liu argued.
Pan Yin hurriedly approached and stretched out his head.
Liu Wei whispered a few words in his ear.
Pan Yin's face immediately showed a frightened expression, and his body was shaking.
Liu Wei said in a low voice: "If he has any abnormal movements, you bring a dagger and kill him on the spot, can you do it?" Don't talk, nod or shake your head. ”
Pan Yin's right hand clenched violently, and his breath became rapid.
Jian Shuo has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and he has followed Jian Shuo for five or six years, and he knows how powerful Jian Shuo is. Especially Jian Shuo is tall and big, and he has some martial arts, if you want to kill him, it's too difficult!
But Pan Yin didn't hesitate for a moment and nodded heavily.
Liu Wei snorted and said, "Someone!" ”
Eight heavily armored guards immediately appeared outside the door, their footsteps were uniform, and they were still bloody, and they were murderous, strode in, knelt down on one knee and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”
Pan Yin looked at the eight guards, and his intuition was cold.
Liu Wei was expressionless and said, "These eight guards were selected by Captain Cao, Da Changqiu, and I will assign them to you." ”
Pan Yin didn't know what Liu Wei meant, so he bowed down and said in a trembling voice: "Yes." ”
Jian Shuo glanced at the eight guards, and did not move.
Liu Wei looked at him and said, "Jian Qing, together with Da Changqiu, you will immediately interrogate Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others, and torture them!" ”
"The villain obeys." Pan Yin, Jian Shuo responded, and slowly withdrew.
Liu Wei had another chance to rest, closed his eyes, and thought while resting.
At this time, the confrontation between Dong Chong and Empress Dowager Dong has reached the extreme.
Dong Zhong refused to give up his hussar general, and the Empress Dowager Dong refused to leave Liu Xie alone in the palace.
The two of them did not back down, staring at each other with big eyes, and neither of them spoke.
Liu Xie looked at the two who did not give in to each other, and said to the Empress Dowager Dong: "Grandmother, I'll stay." ”
"No way!" Empress Dowager Dong objected.
Liu Xie said with a smile: "Grandmother, since the imperial brother said so, it means that he didn't mean to harm me, I am in the palace and outside the palace, in fact, it is the same." As long as the situation calms down in a few days, the imperial brother will not embarrass me, but my grandmother will stay in the palace, and the queen mother will definitely not be at ease, my grandmother will stay, and my grandson will also be worried, so it is better to go out of the palace. ”
Liu Xie is only eight years old, with dignified manners, self-confidence and calmness, young age, extraordinary bearing, clear speech, and mellow logic.
Listening to his words, Empress Dowager Dong hesitated, hugged Liu Xie, and cried: "My poor child, I will suffer you in the future......"
Liu Xie wiped her tears from Empress Dowager Dong with a smile and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, I still have a good relationship with the imperial brother, and with him, I can't endure hardship." Grandmother is out of the palace, without me by her side, you must take care of yourself, what you wear, what you use, I have all prepared, all written on the silk, grandmother remember to change on time......"
Empress Dowager Dong cried even louder.
But Dong Chong on the other side couldn't help laughing.
Empress Dowager Dong is willing to leave the palace, then his hussar general will be stable!
When Dong Zhong laughed, He entered and exited the palace and sat in the carriage, his face was pale, but he had nowhere to go, so he could only shout: "Let Chen Lin go to the General's Mansion tomorrow!" ”
The guards outside the car were startled and hurriedly responded.
In the palace, there is a dungeon not far from Fanglin Garden, where eleven people, including Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Guo Sheng, are imprisoned.
Inside the cell door, eleven people were locked in a cell, which was very crowded.
looked at Jian Shuo and Pan Yin coming, all of them looked gloomy, angry and hateful, but they held their own identities, and they did not scold or kneel to beg for mercy.
Zhang Rang knelt in the middle, looked at Jian Shuo, and said sharply: "Jian Shuo, you are the most important and trusted person of the first emperor, and you are also the person who trusts the orphan, if the first emperor sees what you did today, I don't know how to feel." ”
Jian Shuo looked down at these people condescendingly, and said, "Although the first emperor had intentions, he didn't decide. Donggong succeeded to the throne and conformed to the unification, as it should be! If you are trying to abolish the establishment, you will be like rebellion, and your sin will not be forgiven! Now Your Majesty is forgiving, and you are ordered to hand over the list of henchmen and use your family wealth to atone for your sins, and give an account. ”
Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and the others were obviously discussed, and they did not move, and they were very calm.
They all looked at Zhang Rang, and no one spoke nonsense.
