1.39 Scared Bird
Ergu City, Yaoguang Hall.
The Huangmen ordered Zuo Feng to return by himself. He told the Emperor and Emperor Shao of the Second Palace without missing a word.
After thinking about it for a moment, Emperor Dong understood it: "Since I am sorry for the Queen Mother, I should give up my love. I will divide half of the boy who chased the ghost."
Zuo Feng said again: "The Empress Dowager also said that the boy who chased ghosts should be handed over to the Queen Mother of the West and the wife of Shangyuan will be selected. Only those who are in harmony with the Empress Dowager can be selected."
Emperor Dong sneered: "What Empress Dowager He thinks is not a boy, but a noble son."
"I don't know." Zuo Feng bowed.
"What does your Majesty think?" Emperor Dong looked at the young emperor again.
"I think it may be right."
The young emperor was surprised that this was what Emperor Dong said: "Your Majesty, please speak clearly."
"Reporting to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager only asked for the 'brother who chased ghosts'. He did not mention the brother-in-law. In other words, the Empress Dowager did use it to chase ghosts and did not mean to seize (noble) son." The young emperor mustered up his courage.
"I... am so worried." Emperor Dong refused to say anything: "Sir, let's go and ask me more: Do the Empress Dowager really only have a boy?"
"I obey the order." Zuo Feng did not dare to delay, so he took the order and left.
From the beginning to the end, Emperor Dou did not say a word. Speaking of which, the pain that Empress Dowager He suffered today was already tasted by Emperor Dou many years ago. The story of General He Jin is not essentially different from the story of former General Dou Wu. The purpose of the foreign relatives and generals, the purpose of killing internal officials is ultimately to seize power.
Since the Han Dynasty, most officials have been in charge of the Shangshu. Officials in the Yellow Gate were born beside trees. As Zhang Rang said, "If you leave, you will be an evil jackal, and if you enter, you will be a loyal dog." There is often a saying: "Watch the dog and look at the owner." Isn't the owner indulging you to do evil?
The Huangmen and the foreign relatives, for the Han Dynasty, one was a slave and the other was a relative. The reason why both appeared was due to the times.
When the emperor was young, the empress dowager was appointed as the commander. In order to regain the imperial power, the empress dowager died. Then the empress dowager died, and then he borrowed the Huangmen around him to kill the relatives of the outside world. The Huangmen was granted the title of marquis and held power for the time being. After the first emperor died, the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Returning to the empress dowager was appointed as the commander, and the general "adhered to the national affairs within the country, and with the axe outside, he was dedicated to the expedition." Therefore, killing the internal officials became inevitable. This cycle was inevitable.
In a nutshell, the Yellow Sect and the foreign relatives, killing and counter-killing are all means by both sides to fight for power and profit around imperial power.
However, throughout the Han Dynasty, none of them could get out of this vicious circle.
When Zuo Feng returns, as the young emperor said, Empress Dowager He only wants to get a boy to chase the ghost, not to ask for a noble son.
Everyone thought that it would not involve the noble son, so Emperor Dong should agree.
I thought everyone was happy, but behind the curtain, Taihuang Dong didn't say anything for a long time.
After a long time, I said, "I raised all the boys by myself. Although they are not blood relatives, they regard them as their own. Now, Empress Dowager He has asked for half of them, and I really can't give up."
Dou Taihuang said: "The so-called deep love for licking a calf is also a common human relationship."
Emperor Dong said again: "Well, let's ask Mrs. Shangyuan to choose a date to enter the palace and select a boy for the empress dowager."
"Here." Zuo Feng then took the order and reported to Empress Dowager He did not mention it.
Jia Xu, Xun You and others who attended the court discussion had a different meaning.
As long as Empress Dowager He is asked to get her wish, Dong's relatives intervened in the origin of the "September 10th Change", He Miao's edict impeachment of his brother and general He Jin was able to stand firm. There is no doubt. In fact, loyalty and righteousness are the first priority for people at that time. Any serious crime involving ten evil crimes such as rebellion. There are many examples of brothers reporting each other.
In history, Zhang Song conspired with Fa Zheng to offer Yizhou to Liu Bei and persuade Liu Zhang to welcome Liu Bei into Shu. Later, Liu Bei pretended to leave, and Zhang Song wrote a letter to dissuade him, but was killed because his brother Zhang Su reported it.
Stay in a high place in the temple and be loyal to the country. Stay away from the rivers and seas and keep righteousness for your friends.
If you do evil deeds more, you will die.
"Empress Dowager He is a planner." This is what Jia Xu said, which shows that the empress dowager is talented, quick and studious, and has doubled his knowledge and practice. Before, there were some clever clevernesses from the market. After entering the palace, they have been accumulating continuously, and now they cannot be underestimated.
"The mother of the Han Dynasty is noble because of her son." Xun You said, "First gave birth to her eldest son, and then she gave birth to a son of Lin. Empress Dowager He was well versed in the art of survival in the imperial palace. Previously, there were eunuchs protecting her inside and generals to cover her outside. Now, both inside and outside need to do their own things. Strike Guo Sheng and destroy relatives for justice. The people of Luoyang sighed with regret for the defeat of General He Jin. The harm of eunuchs is evident."
Ju Su said, "Did the Empress Dowager ask for a boy really just to chase the ghost?"
"This is the Queen Mother's plan." Tian Feng said, "At that time, Emperor Dong, to protect the prince's beauty and noble son, he was a plan to mix fish with pearls. He raised his son and the boy in the side palace of Yongle. Apart from Emperor Dou, no one knew where the boy came from, and no one knew the true body of the prince. The origin of the young emperor was the queen's heart. Moreover, the heart of the old emperor to abolish the eldest son and establish the young, and everyone in the harem knew it. It was rumored that when the old emperor was trapped on the Longtai, there was another last word, secretly saying that he was close to his servants and appointed the young. It was the lord who dismissed the old emperor and appointed the young. The lord disagreed with the brothers and brothers, and passed it to the young emperor. The last emperor's will now hold the will of the emperor, and it is unknown. Because of the rumors in the harem that this edict was indeed made it difficult for Empress Dowager He to sleep and eat."
Xun You continued: "Because of this, Empress Dowager He needs to prepare for the future and prepare early. If he explicitly asks for his son, Emperor Dong will not respond. So he pretended to choose the boy who chased ghosts and adopted the plan of "shocked bird."
Empress Dowager He can hide the plan from Taihuang Dong, but how can he hide the plan from the four major planners of Ji State?
Tian Feng said again: "I imagine that Emperor Dong will hide his son and ask the boys to choose for Mrs. Shangyuan. In this way, it is self-evident who is the son."
"In less than three years, the throne of the emperor changed three times. How can the Han Dynasty be sustained?" Jia Xu sighed: "This is God's will."
Without further ado.
Under the Queen Mother of the West, Mrs. Shangyuan, who was always stationed in Qianqiu Temple, entered Ergucheng. Why did the Queen Mother choose the boy who chased ghosts? She went to the West Garden and promoted the altar to drive away the resentment. She offered the incense of Yaochi three times. Queen Mother He finally settled down.
Then there was Xu You, the former chief of the General's Mansion and the Chief of the General's Mansion of Cheqi, and the acting chief of the Lord. He said that the court must not be without the general. He Miao wanted to make He Jin a general in his vassal.
Dong Chong and his team obstructed them in every way.
The young emperor had no choice but to ask for advice behind the curtain. Emperor Dou said, "Who said there is no general in the court?"
Emperor Dong suddenly realized: "General of the Han Dynasty."
Emperor Dou Taihuang said: "During the late emperor, King Ji was appointed as the general of the Han Dynasty, and was appointed as the same as the three dukes. Now he can be appointed as the general of the same as the general. When King Ji was not in court, he should be the general of the cavalry and the general of the chariots and cavalry to share the responsibility. Zhang Ji, the general of the Five-Secrets, had made contributions to protecting the palace and should be promoted to General of the Guard and commanding the Northern and Southern Army. Zhang Xiu, the Marquis of Military Affairs, succeeded as General of the Five-Secrets,."
The positions of generals of Han are: General of the Han Dynasty, General of the Cavalry, General of the Cavalry, General of the Vessel, General of the Guard, General of the Front, General of the Right, General of the Left, and General of the Later. General of the General of the Han Dynasty, General of the Cavalry, General of the Vessel, General of the Vessel, General of the Guard, General of the Guard, General of the Three Dukes, General of the Front, Back, Left, and Right, under the Nine Ministers. Since the Han Dynasty, the Empress Dowager has been in charge of the court, and the relatives of the outer court are in power, and together with the Grand Tutor and the Three Dukes, they are called "Five Prefectures". In other words, the Grand Tutor Yang Biao can also open a prefecture.
All the above generals can set up government offices. They have heavy titles to lead the army, each with troops, generals, camp officials, and officials. Miscellaneous titles to generals, and they will be set up before the matter is established. Only the generals of the Liao Dynasty were in civil strife during the Southern Xiongnu tribes, and they were permanently established since the eighth year of Yongping (65th). By the end of the Han Dynasty, regardless of heavy titles or miscellaneous titles, they were gradually established as regular ones.
At that time, Emperor Ling set up eight lieutenants in Xiyuan, and was led by Jian Shuo, the little Huangmen. He was the first to set the eunuchs to lead their troops. This move had a profound impact on later generations and was immeasurable.
A palace war of countless casualties, followed the reconciliation of the three palaces, and the curtain slowly fell.
