thank you + extra

This bamboo slip was originally in the palace garden, and I don't know who left it behind. Apart from it, there are no other slips.Liu Zao read it again and again, only this one, but she didn't find it boring, on the contrary, she got something every time she read it.She even felt that she might not be able to fully understand the wisdom of Legalism in ten years.

The deeper she read, the more confused she became, wondering what kind of person her grandfather, Emperor Xiaowu, was.

It's just that the depth of Emperor Wu is beyond her comprehension.

Liu Zao took out a jade pendant from his sleeve pocket.This is a herring pendant, a young fish carved lifelike, Liu Zao has been wearing this jade pendant since he was a child.When she was alone in the palace, she would take out the jade pendant to have a look.

In this way, more than ten days passed, when Liu Zao gradually became agitated, thinking that Xie had made a mistake in getting along with each other, and was no match for the emperor and the general, the female officer on the day she entered the palace opened the courtyard door and walked in.

After saluting, the female officer faced the emperor and grandson and said: "I am ordered by the queen mother to take the emperor and grandson to Changxin Hall to pay a visit."

This is the No. 20th day of Liu Zao's entry into the palace, and she can finally see the queen mother.

She looked at the female officer's expression, she was very solemn, but not panicked.Liu Zao felt a little relieved and went with her.

Hu Ao and the others were terrified, and sent the emperor and grandson away respectfully, while he was stopped in the courtyard gate.

The female officer walked very fast, Liu Zao followed behind her, trying to catch up with her.

She guessed right, this place is indeed very close to Changxin Hall, and it arrived after only a few turns.In front of the Hall of Changxin, the female official slowed down. Seeing Liu Zao panting slightly, she apologized and said respectfully: "I heard that the emperor's grandson has just recovered from a serious illness, so I hurried on my way because the situation is urgent. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Liu Zao breathed a little, nodded, "No problem."

The female officer smiled, turned and entered the hall.

What I entered was not the main hall of Changxin Hall, but the small side hall beside it.Incense was lit in the hall, and green smoke curled up from the Boshan furnace made of bronze.The aroma is not strong, but elegant and pleasant, which makes people relax.

Liu Zao thought of Xie Yi inappropriately.There is also a fragrance on Xie Yi's body, which is different from the smell of incense in this hall.Incense makes people calm and concentrate, but the fragrance on Xie Yi's body is refreshing.

Liu Zao walked away for a while, and waited for the female officer to say, "The emperor's grandson, please sit here." Fang found that there was no one here, no palace people, and no queen mother.

Liu Zao asked, "Where is the Queen Mother?"

The female official said: "The emperor's grandson will know soon." She paused, then smiled and said: "The queen mother is running for the emperor's grandson's great cause, the emperor's grandson should be grateful to the queen mother for her hard work, and I will be filial to the queen mother in the future."

This is to ask her to promise to obey the Queen Mother's orders.Liu Zao was silent and did not speak.

The female officer smiled, not paying attention, and said: "Please sit down for a moment, the emperor's grandson." Her tone was still respectful.

Liu Zao sat down on the couch, but the female officer did not leave, but stood beside her.

The hall was extremely quiet, the female officer didn't make any movement, Liu Zao also sat aside.This atmosphere made her a little uneasy, Liu Zao moved slightly, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps.

Too late?Liu Zao thought to himself, wanting to get up.The female officer looked at her and shook her head slightly.

With a thought in his mind, Liu Zao sat back to the distance without making any sound.

The footsteps stopped.The door slammed shut.Only then did Liu Zao realize that the voices were all from the next door.She recalled what she saw when she came here just now, and guessed that the main hall of Changxin Hall is next door, which is separated from here by a wall.

Liu He shouted angrily and asked, "Why did the prime minister block my attendants from the door?"

Liu Zao's heart tightened for a moment, the prime minister and the queen mother made a move!

"Those attendants can't persuade His Majesty to do good, they are all guilty and guilty, how can they serve His Majesty?" Xie Yi's voice came, not high or low, but every word hit Liu Zao's heart, She didn't even know how she got into Changxin Palace.

There was a burst of chaotic footsteps, and many people came to the main hall.

Liu He's voice weakened, and said: "That's all right, why did you gather in Changxin? Where is the general?"

It was still Xie Yi's voice: "I'm waiting here because the Han Dynasty is at a critical moment. Your Majesty is desolate and cannot protect the country. He regards the country as a child's play and the law as nothing. The ministers are worried about the country, so we gathered together Here, discuss countermeasures."

Across a wall, Xie Yi's words were exceptionally clear.

Liu He completely lost the bravado that he had when he arrived at the small courtyard that day, and said in a trembling voice: "Why is this? I have been on the throne for more than [-] days, and I am still in mourning. I have not dealt with government affairs. Even if there are deficiencies, it is not my fault."

Another voice sounded in the main hall, stating the emperor's faults, from living in mourning, to messing up the late emperor's harem, to lawlessness, conferring officials indiscriminately, and imprisoning ministers who advised him, etc., a total of seventeen major crimes, small There are hundreds of crimes.

Liu Zao was wondering who the minister who would declare the emperor's crimes would be, the female officer said softly: "This is the Queen Mother's father, General Liang Ji."

Liu Zao nodded, she still wanted to ask whether these crimes were true, but now is not the time to ask.There was constant commotion in the main hall, and Liu He was furious: "How could I be so ridiculous, it's clearly the prime minister..."

He was scolding Xie Yi angrily.

Liu Zao listened to his words, but could hear some embarrassment turned into anger.

It's just that no matter how the emperor reprimanded him, it was useless.

The ministers outside invited the empress dowager, and the prime minister took the lead, and jointly signed a petition to depose the king of Changyi.

Immediately afterwards, another strange female voice said in a deep voice, "Yes."

Liu He yelled angrily: "Why is the general not here for such an important matter? Call the general to discuss it again!"

Liang Jidao: "The empress dowager has issued an edict to depose you. You are no longer the emperor. How can you intervene in the important affairs of the court!"

Liu He didn't speak, Liu Zao thought he was frightened, but after hearing the roar that followed, he knew that he was too angry to speak.

"I can't ask? Could it be that the emperor of the Han Dynasty can decide whether to abolish or establish based on the empress dowager's edict?" Liu He sneered, "Who do you want to establish? Is it the Prince Wei who has been hiding in Changle Palace for many days?" daughter?"

Liang Ji raised his voice: "This is beyond the power of the king of Changyi!"

Liu Zao could hear the embarrassment of being punctured in those words.She suddenly felt strange, why Xie Xianghui and King Rong Changyi were making a big noise in the hall?Liang Ji is the empress dowager's father, an official chariot and cavalry general, why is he arguing with the king of Changyi instead of being taken down directly?

Although she is young and doesn't know political affairs, she understands the truth of becoming a king and defeating an enemy. The king of Changyi has lost his throne, no different from ordinary people, and the ministers can take him down with a single order.

As soon as she finished thinking, she listened to the hall, Liang Ji said: "Please come down to the hall, King Changyi!" This made people take Liu He down.

But what came next was Xie Yi's voice: "What is the king of Changyi's dissatisfaction? It's just right."

This is conniving the king of Changyi to make a fuss.Liu Zao didn't understand why Prime Minister Xie indulged the King of Changyi.She looked at the female officer, and saw that the female officer's eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she was also very puzzled.

Liu Zao couldn't figure it out, so he continued to listen.

Liu He said loudly outside: "Prince Wei's daughter is indeed of my Liu family's blood, but why do you believe that she is the baby girl when she left the palace, and not replaced by someone else?"

As soon as this remark came out, there was a buzzing discussion in the hall.

Liu Zao opened his eyes wide, never expecting to have such doubts.Liu He suspects that she is not the baby girl who left the palace that year, that she is an impostor who lost her bag, and that she is not the real daughter of Prince Wei.

"Prime Minister and General Cheqi want to mess with the blood of our Han Dynasty, are all the ministers in the palace accomplices?" Liu He said loudly, with extraordinary momentum.

The voice of discussion became louder again, Liu Zao was a little annoyed, and wanted to know how Xie Yi would calm down the matter.

She had an inexplicable confidence in Xie Yi, always feeling that she would be invincible.However, after she waited for a long time, Xie Yi didn't speak, but Liu He became more complacent, as if he overwhelmed all the officials.

An eunuch rushed in, saluted Liu Zao, and said respectfully, "It's time for the emperor to show his face."

The female officer nodded, turned around and knelt down towards Liu Zao: "Please invite the emperor's grandson to the main hall."

The controversy in the main hall has not stopped.Liu Zao went out with the eunuch.

The ministers in the hall stood in an orderly manner, Liu He stood in the middle, and the one-year elder glared at him, presumably it was Liang Ji.Xie Xiang stood at the head of the ministers, lowered his eyes and said nothing.There is a woman sitting on the top end, that is the queen mother.

Liu Zao glanced at it, only to realize that the Empress Dowager is so young, only around twenty.

As soon as she entered the hall, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

When Liu He saw her coming, he sneered and said, "She left the palace at the age of four and lived in her grandfather's house. Did the palace always pay attention to it? Are there any ministers in the court who often visit? Who can determine that she is the girl who left the palace back then!"

Liang Ji was furious because this was something that could not be verified. As he said, for the past ten years, the emperor's grandson lived outside the palace for a long time, and no one in the palace asked him. The courtiers even hid far away. No one has ever seen her.

"It's thanks to the king of Changyi who came up with such an absurd theory!" Liang Ji scolded angrily.
