Chapter 318: The real power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Dou Tai (3)
Seeing her statement like this, Qiao Mu immediately understood what she meant. He nodded with satisfaction, then took her hand and returned to the main hall.
At this time, everyone was still not here.
Qiaomu was not in a hurry, and pulled Chen Ajiao to kneel beside her and chatted. He didn't even look at Liu Che in his eyes, which made him angry, but he was helpless.
It took a long time to do so, nearly half an hour.
The ministers and nobles in the court, some Liu family members who were still in Chang'an, and the eldest princess arrived.
As soon as we arrived, we saw the obviously stalemate of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress. The clever ones immediately guessed that the Emperor and the Empress had a conflict and the Empress Dowager were having another trouble. But we didn't know why the Empress Dowager did it himself this time, but called them all over.
“Since you’re here, let’s sit first.
This time I asked you to come here to discuss something, the matter of the emperor and empress.
From then on, men and women have nothing to do with each other."
Qiaomu smiled and threw down a bomb.
The people who had just knelt down were a little overwhelmed. Some of the older ones fell forward. If someone hadn't helped him help him, several of them would have fallen away.
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Liu Piao shouted in horror.
She has tried her best to find a way to get Liu Che up over the years, just to stabilize her position through her daughter's relationship with him? If she is divorced, what's wrong with her? It would be better if she doesn't become a mortal enemy.
This is to make her efforts waste.
Or what?
"Your Majesty, I hope you think twice.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been any incident of the emperor and the empress being separated. It has never been heard of in the past. If this matter was spread, how could my Han royal family remain?
Your Majesty the Emperor, my great man can only have a dead queen, and absolutely no one can live in harmony."
The following one, who was quite old and could barely be of the same generation as Qiao Mu, stood up slowly, shouted loudly, and said coercedly.
As soon as these words came out.
Liu Che's mouth raised slightly.
Chen Ajiao couldn't help but tremble, but Qiao Mu held her hand in a flash and comforted her:
"Why, you still have to kill the granddaughter of the Ai family. If you can continue, you will live, and if you can't live, you will live. What's the big deal? If you can have peace among the people, why can't the royal family have it?
Could it be that you want the Ai family to watch the Ai family’s granddaughter be tortured to death?
The matter of harmony and separation is decided here.
In addition to Heli, there is one more thing.
From now on, blood relatives within the royal family will not be allowed to marry within three generations, and the past will not be investigated. From now on, all those who marry will be abolished and demoted to civilians."
Blood relatives within three generations do not allow marriage, and this matter is not easy to be fully promoted, but there is still no problem in promoting it within the royal family. At least, most clan relatives and ministers will never object. After all, the Lu family had already learned from the past. This kind of thing only has benefits and no harm to them. Naturally, they will not refuse or object. The opposition is nothing more than relatives.
But Qiao Mu is now the largest relative of the Han Dynasty. She supports it, so what can other relatives have to say? Naturally, she can only hold on.
Therefore, as soon as these words were made, all the ministers and nobles present agreed. Of course, they only agreed that the blood relatives within three generations were not allowed to marry, and they still opposed the divorce.
Resolutely and strongly opposed.
As the opposition grew louder, Chen Ajiao, who was kneeling beside Qiaomu, also trembled more and more. Qiaomu understood that her heart had begun to shake, but Qiaomu obviously could not let things continue to develop like this.
Immediately slapped the table and said angrily:
“There is no objection to this matter.
When the Ai family said that they had divorced, they divorced. When the person came, they drafted an imperial edict for the Ai family and ordered the emperor and the queen to divorce. From then on, men and women had nothing to do with each other.
Another order was given to Jiao as Princess Xikang, with a fief of three thousand households, and was given to Princess’s Mansion and the Imperial Palace to walk.
If someone dares to say that the emperor and the empress will definitely not allow peace, then the Ai family will change to an emperor.
The deposed emperor will naturally be able to separate.
Oh, Gillian, come with me."
The royal family of the Han Dynasty was not like the late Song and Ming dynasties. The ministers firmly opposed it, and the emperor was even powerless. In the early Han Dynasty, the imperial family was absolutely very majestic. Even if the ministers opposed it, as long as the emperor had real power and military power, the order could still be issued and would not be rejected.
Although Qiao Mu is not the emperor now, don’t forget that the military talisman is in her hands and the real power is in her hands. It’s really annoyed. Even if she directly abolished Liu Che’s throne, no one dared to say anything.
Therefore, her decree is naturally useful.
Not inferior to the imperial edict.
Although the ministers and relatives below wanted to continue to object, they were already scared by Qiao Mu's so-called change of emperor, so they were naturally powerless to stop him. Liu Che's face was extremely pale at this time and dared not say anything against stopping him.
Three days later, Qiao Mu's decree officially passed through all the ministers in the court and conveyed the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Suddenly, the whole country was in an uproar.
Of course, I was just shocked and didn’t say anything about the unrest. After all, it was just a separation between the emperor and the empress, and it was not a deposed emperor. At most, everyone would discuss gossip in private and talk about it as a topic.
However, in addition, this incident also had a huge blow to Liu Che's fame for a few years. Many who originally wanted to serve him in a career now know that he is not the match of the Empress Dowager at all, so they suppressed their own ideas and prepared to wait until the Empress Dowager dies.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what year or month it takes to wait, and I don’t even know how I can’t wait until I can’t wait.

Chang'an City
Qiao Mu's nephew, Wei Qihou's mansion
Five people, including Dou Ding, Hou Ding, Hou Guanqiang, Hou Yang, Xiao Sheng, Hou Tangyi, Chen Xu, and Hou Longlu, Chen Xi, each kneeling on the left and right of Dou Ying, Hou Wei Qi, and each looked quite frowning.
"Brother, I'm afraid that Liu Che has already done this. Now my aunt is here, but if her aunt goes there one day, Liu Che will not dare to attack her aunt, but we...
What should I do?"
The marquis here are not fools, and they are very clear about the personality of the Emperor of the Liu family. What's more, the Dou family used to rely on Empress Dowager Dou and stepped on the relatives of Empress Dowager Bo's family to successfully take over. Now Liu Che's mother is still there, and she has begun to support the relatives of the Wang family. Now their aunt offended Liu Che like this. When her aunt goes away in the future, how can they have any good ending?
Now, when I heard the news, those who are familiar with each other quickly came over and wanted to discuss what to do next?
"What can I do? My position as prime minister was removed by my aunt. Now my aunt is very disliked by me. She has asked for a few times but never saw me. She said that unless I abandon Confucianism and learn the way of Huang Lao, I don't want to see me again."
Wei Qihou also frowned.
