Chapter 320: The real power is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Dou (5)
Weiyang Palace, in Chengde Hall
Liu Che was furious and half-kneeled on the floor, pushing his long sleeves across the body, sweeping everything on the desk, and the jade cup and wine bottle fell all over the floor.
The crackling sound was extremely crisp.
The inner supervisor outside the hall wanted to come in and ask, but Liu Che was scolded angrily by him in a flash.
At this time, Liu Che was like a bull who was angry but could not vent his anger, gasping for breath:
"Hateful, hateful, Chen Ajiao!
Bitches, they are all bitches…”
No matter how much he resents Qiaomu in his heart.
Then he didn't dare to say it or scold it on the surface, he only dared to scold Chen Ajiao.
After all, insulting Chen Ajiao can be considered as the original disagreement of the emperor and the empress, but if insulting the empress dowager, it would be very unfilial.
Therefore, he could only scold Chen Ajiao and kept scolding him. At the same time, he didn't dare to make too loud, worried that others would hear him.
Originally, when he ascended the throne, he promoted and reused the representative figures of Confucianism and Legality. At the same time, in order to prevent Empress Dowager Dou from being dissatisfied, he specially promoted Dou Ying to the position of prime minister, but his mother's uncle had to be the position of Taiwei. Unexpectedly, this operation was useless. Before the various measures he set were implemented, he was slapped by Empress Dowager Dou, and the relevant people were either removed from office and committed suicide or were directly dismissed from the official position.
Even my nephew is no exception.
It was also since then that Liu Che did not dare to think about reforming the government affairs anymore. He only focused on hunting, riding and shooting, hoping to make friends with the children of the nobles of the Housing, so that they could use it for their own future.
But he never thought that after he neglected Chen Ajiao for these actions, the Empress Dowager would be so angry that he even let him get along with Chen Ajiao directly. This was a shame that never happened in the ages.
Since ancient times.
There has never been a separation between emperors and empresses.
He set a precedent and wrote historical books back and I don’t know how many people laughed at him. Maybe someone will laugh at him in the next thousand years.
The more I think about him, the more angry he becomes.
The more angry he is, the more he wants to destroy.
Soon, Liu Che was no longer satisfied with throwing things on the desk. He began to pull out the Chixiao sword that was placed not far away, and held the sword that Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake uprising, and chopped everywhere, chopping copper lamps and wooden pillars.
"Enough, stop me."
Just as Liu Che was venting, an angry woman suddenly came from behind him.
I suddenly looked back and saw that it was his mother.
Queen Mother.
"Mother, I..."
Liu Che was choking for a moment. He didn't know how to describe his mood. He felt that he felt very uncomfortable and wronged now, and wanted to find someone to cry.
"Let me go back and make sure there is no one around the hall. The Ai family has something to say with His Majesty."
The Queen Mother did not speak immediately, but ordered the confidants who came in with her to go out and leave all the female officials around her to ensure that what they would say later would not be leaked.
When the person left, he approached and said:
"What are you doing? Are you venting your anger?
Or are you expressing your dissatisfaction?
Don't say it, listen to me.
So what if you are angry and dissatisfied, so what if you are dissatisfied? After all, the Empress Dowager was the Empress Dowager. Your father, Emperor Jing, officially began his political proposition after Empress Dowager Bo passed away. The Dou family began to gradually become rich since then. What are you anxious now?
Let’s wait until the Empress Dowager is in a funeral day, so there will naturally be room for you to play. Now it’s urgent and there is no use. Apart from hurting the liver and body, you will not get any benefits. It will only ruin your reputation, and even make the Empress Dowager more guarded against you and will not be willing to return the power to you.
Listen to me, bear it.
Anyway, you are still young, so why not endure for a few years? I have been enduring it for so many years. How could we have been a mother and son have been away for three or five years? Just take it slowly. Now, the urgent thing is to find another queen for you. The hateful Empress Dowager actually forbids the royal family to marry within three generations of the royal family, otherwise the Ai family would have chosen a few suitable ones.
For details, wait until I discuss with Wu'anhou and try to arrange a suitable one for you."
"Mother, but I'm not willing to give up."
Liu Che naturally would not misunderstand these principles, but no matter how clear they are, who is at his age, who is not youthful and passionate and unwilling to be restrained by his elders. Now he is constantly frustrated, and who can understand the unwillingness and depression in his heart?
“It’s useless to be unwilling to give up.
Emperor, if you have nothing to do, you should read more historical books. You can find out what you want to learn and do in historical books. If you look carefully, you will know what to do next. Don’t waste your life for a moment of indifference. The military talisman is still in the hands of the Empress Dowager. We can’t beat her. Now you don’t know the custom of only recognizing seals and not people in the Han Dynasty. Let’s be patient for the time being.
Don’t pay more attention to the affairs of the government in daily life, let the Empress Dowager deal with it. As for the personal connections, I will ask Marquis Wu’an to help find it, and try to convince him more Marquis.
And quiet down and lurk for a few years.
You will be in power in the future.”
The Queen Mother had experienced many palace struggles, so she should not be too familiar with the situation inside and outside the government. She knew very well that she and her son were still too small at present, and now she was detesting the lineage of the eldest princess, and there was a lack of personnel to adjust between them and the Queen Mother, so she could not offend the Queen Mother at this time, so she could only stay in a while.
Anyway, they are still young, so they will never be able to survive the Empress Dowager. There will always be one day in the future, so there is no need to be so anxious.
Liu Che was a little calmer at this time, and at the same time he knew very well that he was not the match of the Empress Dowager with the military talisman at all. Not to mention him, even if he joined forces with more than half of the Marquis, he was probably not the match of the Empress Dowager. Why was Empress Lü able to suppress the royal family and even kill the meritorious officials dared to stop it? It was mainly because Empress Lü held military power. After Empress Lü died, the reason why Empress Lü was jointly strangled by the princes of Liu and the Marquis of Liu jointly strangled the forces of Zhulu? It was mainly because Empress Lü's younger brother was a fool and he let the military talisman out and gave it out. What was the Lu family without military talisman? Naturally, it was easy to kill the princes of Liu and the Marquis of Liu.
All of this is actually related to the relevant military and political systems in the early Western Han Dynasty. The army in the early Western Han Dynasty did not recognize people at all. Anyone who holds a military talisman seal can be mobilized. If the emperor does not have a military talisman seal, he will not have the power to mobilize the army.
Now that Empress Dowager Dou is in power, no minister or noble can resist at all, and everyone can only obey Empress Dowager Dou's orders, and there is no possibility of refusal.
