Comprehensive film and television: Extreme reversal and inevitable death
Chapter 98: Deposed Chen Ajiao 5
Chen Ajiao's coronation ceremony was scheduled for the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.
It is suitable for offering sacrifices, but not for digging the ground. It is an auspicious day, which is very auspicious.
During this period, Liu Che and Queen Mother Wang would naturally not sit idly by and wait for death.
After all, he had seen the pinnacle of the human world before, but now he fell from power, and the way and process of being thrown down were so casual and perfunctory. Liu Che's strong self-esteem simply couldn't stand it.
In the third year of Yuanguang, Emperor Liu Che had already agreed to Dong Zhongshu's idea of "abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", and it had been implemented throughout the Han Dynasty for some time.
The idea of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues also gradually penetrated into the major aristocratic families and the common people.
The three cardinal guides are: the ruler guides the ministers, the father guides the sons, and the husband guides the wife. (This theory was first proposed by Dong Zhongshu, and then summarized by Ma Rong in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who proposed this term. For convenience, I will use it directly.)
It was precisely because he constantly promoted the theory of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues that Liu Che was able to take back the Empress' power so quickly and decisively.
At this moment, he also took advantage of the principle that the husband is the head of the wife to secretly contact those court officials who were dissatisfied with Chen Ajiao, and continued to spread criticisms against the new emperor who was about to take office in the court and the public.
If she just divorced her husband, it would be fine, but! To depose the king later, this has never happened before!
Such criticisms were so widespread that a large number of ministers knelt down at the entrance of Xuanshi Hall. They felt that they had grasped Chen Ajiao's lifeblood, so they were particularly pleased with doing these coercive things.
They call their behavior "speaking for the people and establishing their minds for heaven and earth."
Even if he was killed by Chen Ajiao and her lackey Liu Bang, it would be recorded by historians, and his name would be recorded in history and praised by future generations!
Therefore, for a while, there were quite a few ministers who were not afraid of death and dared to jump out, and each of them was very stubborn.
They knelt outside the palace all day long, as if they would hit their heads against the pillar and die if Chen Ajiao did not give them an explanation, in order to gain the reputation of admonishing God with their blood.
"Humph, they are really a bunch of idiots. Apart from their miserable lives, they have nothing else to show for it!"
Liu Bang sneered and spoke, feeling annoyed when he saw those fearless people outside.
Hearing this, Chen Ajiao slowly put down the letter in her hand. She looked outside the hall and rubbed her forehead as if in distress.
"Liu Che is so annoying. Even at this point, there are still so many people willing to work for him."
She chuckled and a strange smile appeared on her red lips.
"Uncastrated pigs don't taste good... I'll find an opportunity to castrate him in two days and see if he still has the heart to worry about so much."
Hearing this, Liu Bang felt a chill on his back and looked at Chen Ajiao with an indescribable look. Then he silently changed his sitting position, unconsciously closed his legs, and his whole body instantly became dignified.
"There is no hope for people like this who have been severely brainwashed. Even losing their lives in such an environment of public opinion is more like a reward for them."
Chen Ajiao casually picked up the long-handled bamboo fan and spun it around, looking at Liu Bang thoughtfully, until he was about to get angry, then she continued, saying:
"I want to replace all these restless creatures, but I have no one to help me... How about this, great-grandfather, let's go out of the palace now, catch the elves (no), and find sacrifices to summon your companions!"
Liu Bang waved his hands weakly, looking at her as if he was looking at a whimsical lunatic.
"Whatever you want. Just don't get Lu Zhi out. I don't want to fight with her every day..."
"That Xiang Yu..."
"Ahem, you'd better not do that! If you don't want the first thing you do after ascending the throne to be to order the reconstruction of Weiyang Palace."
Seeing Liu Bang's expression of refusal, Chen Ajiao couldn't help but laugh softly.
She just likes to see people named Liu get humiliated.
They did what they said. In the afternoon of that day, Chen Ajiao took Liu Bang out of the palace.
By the way, when she passed by the group of courtiers who were almost melted by the sun, she didn't even glance at them.
The court officials, who had already been dazzled by the scorching sun, did not notice that Chen Ajiao had left the house. Or, in other words, in their minds, they had still not accepted that the country would soon be ruled by a woman.
Therefore, it was not until Chen Ajiao had been out of the palace for a while that someone finally reacted and said in a trembling voice:
"Just now, Your Majesty...did you pass by us?"
"This... I don't know! Has anyone noticed?"
"I don't know either. I'm almost blinded by the sun!"
Since everyone was gone, there was no point in them continuing to kneel here in silent protest, so they decided to go home first and come together to cause trouble tomorrow.
The officials of the Han Dynasty were so simple and unpretentious.
Even something like putting on a show has to be done in front of the host!
After leaving the palace, Chen Ajiao raised her right hand and looked for the direction following the faint guidance of the [Pocket Dead].
Yes, she integrated this golden finger into the back of her left hand, forming a crescent-shaped red pattern.
When she actively uses this golden finger, the crescent pattern will guide her in a general direction. The closer she is to the object that can summon the dead, the hotter the crescent will become.
Following the guidance of the crescent moon, Chen Ajiao came to a small house.
As soon as the carriage stopped, she didn't have to do anything, as a servant came forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, a young man opened the door. Under the guidance of the servant, he immediately saw Chen Ajiao who was lifting the curtain and looking him up and down.
In an instant, his pupils contracted, and after hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I am the Minister Wei Qing. I greet you."
"...Who are you?"
Different from Wei Qing's attitude of facing a formidable enemy, Chen Ajiao had no idea who the person in front of her was at first.
It was not until Wei Qing introduced himself that he vaguely remembered that Wei Zifu seemed to have such a younger brother, who had always been by Liu Che's side in the past two years and was very trusted by him.
He even rose through the ranks from a mounted slave to a close attendant.
However, he was sent out on official business a few days ago, otherwise it would not have been so easy for her to make Liu Che surrender.
Wei Qing was undoubtedly very loyal to Liu Che. In fact, it can be heard from the way he addressed Chen Ajiao just now that he still insisted on calling her "Empress" instead of "Your Majesty".
However, Chen Ajiao didn't care about the little thoughts of her subordinates.
She got off the carriage and without letting Wei Qing get up, she went straight into his house on her own.
Possession, possession, my lovely little possession, where are you?
Chen Ajiao wandered around Wei Qing's house with disdain, and finally slowly set her eyes on Wei Qing.
She had no idea what politeness was, and she didn't know that her own mother had almost killed someone two years ago, so she blatantly stretched out her hand to Wei Qing.
"What do you have hidden on you? Give it to me."

(Ah Jiao in this article is a little willful. I wrote her as a spoiled young lady. If anyone feels uncomfortable, it's my problem. Don't hate her.)
