Chapter 401

"Your Majesty, King Chenliu, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

The young Liu Xie possessed himself and bowed. The emperor quickly got up, walked down with a smile, and helped him up. Liu Xie still looked a little uneasy, and looked at his brother with some fear. Seeing his appearance, Liu Bian smiled and put He hugged him into his arms and said, "My little brother is back!" Liu Xie gradually calmed down. Even though the person in front of him was a little strange, he was still his brother.

"Erlang, long time no see, you are okay, but someone bullied you?"

The emperor frowned and asked.

"No, it's just that I miss my parents very much"

"Hey, the only one who doesn't miss me?"

"I also thought about the third brother and younger sister."

"Hahaha, okay, they don't know the news of your return yet, go, I will take you to see them!" The emperor took his hand and walked towards the Queen Mother's mansion, Hanmen followed them Behind him, little Liu Xie looked around, and asked with some doubts: "Where is Mr. Song?"

The emperor smiled and said, "He has returned home."

"Oh." Liu Xie nodded.

When they walked into Yongning Palace together, the Queen Mother, Rao Yang, and Liu An were all there. When Liu Xie cautiously leaned out, the somewhat puzzled Queen Mother hurriedly stood up and ran towards Liu Xie , Liu Xie also ran and threw himself into the arms of the Queen Mother. When the mother and child were together, they couldn't help crying, and Liu An also ran over and was hugged by the Queen Mother.

The little fat man stood where he was, quietly watching the three of them embrace each other, but felt inexplicable envy in his heart.

After standing for a long time, the Empress Dowager didn't pay any attention to his intentions, she kept greeting Liu Xie, the little fat man gave a wry smile, turned and left.

As early as when he put on the crown, he lost the right to be loved by others. Perhaps, like Emperor Xiaokang, he could only lie in the arms of his mother when he was dying, happy and happy. leave peacefully.

After busying with these things, the Son of Heaven has a rare time to rest. It is almost the end of the year now, and there will be no major events happening in various places. The only major event is the news submitted by Cao Cao. According to what Cao Cao said, after he married Himiko, he returned to the country of Wa, and was also recognized by the subjects of Yamatai.

However, what Cao Cao did not expect was that Himi called the group of ministers, saying that she was a married woman, and she would take care of her husband's children with peace of mind in the future, and she could not show her face, let alone continue the political affairs of Yamatai. Therefore, she decided to take the throne Zen abdicated to his younger brother Susanoo, and carried it out immediately. This move made Cao Cao furious, but he could not interfere.

First of all, Himiko Chan abdicated the throne without the permission of the emperor. In addition, by doing so, she directly broke the plan of Emperor Xiaokang. Emperor Xiaokang hoped that Cao Cao would further control Yamatai through intermarriage with the queen. Of course In the future, the king of Yamatai will still be the heir of Cao Cao. In this way, Yamatai will naturally become the actual territory of the Han Dynasty.

However, Himiko obviously didn't want to see such a situation. Taking advantage of Emperor Xiaokang's death, and no one in the temple noticed the Wa Kingdom, she directly abdicated. The future heir will be the heir of her younger brother, and There was no connection with the big man. Cao Cao knew that he had underestimated this woman, so he hurriedly went to the temple, hoping that the emperor would issue an edict against this abdication.

The Son of Heaven was not very clear about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, nor did he know how many plans Emperor Xiaokang had. This matter could only be handed over to Wang Fu and other ministers for discussion.

At this time, some remarks unfavorable to the emperor appeared in the court.

In the temple, many ministers are looking forward to the death of Emperor Xiaokang, so that they can survive the policy of suppressing party members during Emperor Xiaokang's period, and can recreate the situation in Emperor Xiaohuan's period. During Emperor Xiaohuan's period, the party The power of the people is so great that they can even support the generals and continue to limit the imperial power in the name of crusade against eunuchs.

This led to the party ban policy under Emperor Xiaohuan, which was a very direct policy to suppress the party members on the surface. Even so, the party members did not suffer much threat in essence, but Emperor Xiaokang was different. This emperor is a master who stabs with a smile. When he first came to the throne, he was so gentle and enthusiastic towards the party members.

When he really grasped the real power, the party members ushered in the end, assessment, official education, and no private education. These few systems fundamentally destroyed the prosperity of the family and the monopoly of knowledge. , Zhang Yun, became the nightmare of the party members, and even Wang Fu proposed the Huangmen supervision system, and the party members had to monitor the transcripts at the Huangmen party gatherings.

Faced with such a situation, they didn't even have the thought of resisting, and those who resisted died under the sword of the emperor.

Now, it is rare to survive until the death of Emperor Xiaokang. They hope to make some changes. The previous counterattack against Zhang Yun may have had this intention, but what they did not expect was that the emperor just settled the matter with a few words later. Afterwards, they began to oppose the expansion of the Yellow Gate Supervisory System and the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, but they still did not get a response from the emperor.

As a result, some rumors appeared in the court, saying that the crown prince was not filial, and the Emperor Xiaokang had made great achievements, but he was only buried lightly, and the money from the treasury was used to build the palace. Someone in the middle used the prestige of Emperor Xiaokang to suppress the little fat man, which the little fat man never thought of. How high is the prestige of Emperor Xiaokang in the hearts of the officials and people?
Attacking the little fat man by saying that the little fat man disrespected Emperor Xiaokang made the little fat man feel a little worried.

He immediately ordered Zhang Yun to arrest him with all his strength, but he did not have the prestige of Emperor Xiaokang. After being arrested by him, many ministers still acted as if they were sorry for Emperor Xiaokang, and scolded the new emperor. Instead, it seems that they are the loyal ministers of Emperor Xiaokang.

Taking advantage of the yearning of the people and officials for Emperor Xiaokang, even though they were executed, it affected many people. Wang Fu, Zhang Xi, Yuan Feng, and even Zhang Wen and Song Feng all acted to help the emperor calm the situation. Song Feng led Zhi Jinwu, arrested dozens of people in a row, and was also named a traitor, but he was the grandfather of the emperor, so he didn't care about such a bad name.

The little fat man was sitting in the Hall of Houde, reading the memorial, his brows were furrowed.

Hanmen stood beside him, and said with some concern: "Does the country want to eat?"

The Son of Heaven has not eaten for a whole day, and it is difficult to sleep these few days. The Han family sees it, and at the same time, they also have some thoughts of their own. Whenever the party members are prosperous, the eunuchs in the palace will definitely grow rapidly. The opposite is also true. However, generally only when the party members are strong, the emperor will continue to cultivate eunuchs and confront the party members. Thinking of the seniors like Cao Jie Hou Lan, Hanmen squinted his eyes.

"Oh," the emperor sighed.

"Why can't these thieves see peace in the temple?"

Hanmen didn't dare to speak, and lowered his head.

"Why is it so hard for me?" The little fat man shook his head, and Han Men said, "Your Majesty, don't speak like that. During Emperor Xiaokang's time, traitors were even more powerful!" The little fat man was taken aback, nodded, and suddenly, he Thinking of something, he suddenly stood up and said, "That's right, why did I forget, my father left three wills, the last one, I want to see it in three months, but I forgot!"

He immediately rushed to the East Palace Study Room and searched. On the case, he found the imperial edict left by the emperor himself, and he dismissed the Han family, and opened the last edict, on which was written the word "two" , Earlier, after the emperor left the edict of the thin burial, he wrote at the end that after a few months of his burial, he can open a second letter, not early.

Earlier, the Son of Heaven was still very curious about this edict, and he had been hesitant to open it ahead of time, but later, because of the complexity of everything, he lost this interest. After being dusty for a long time, the emperor slowly tore the seal, opened the letter, read it carefully for a moment, his whole body was shocked, and the letter almost fell from his hand.

He raised his head, with a complex expression on his face. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly burst out laughing.

Holding the will, he walked out of the study with a big laugh. For some reason, the Hanmen standing at the door felt the chill from his laughter. He shrank his back and walked forward. The emperor looked at him , said with some disdain: "Open court meeting!"

At such a time, the court meeting was held, but the officials did not understand it. When the turmoil had not subsided, the emperor was not worried that people with ulterior motives would punish him face to face.Among these people, there are quite a few who are not afraid of death. Their purpose is also very simple. They can suppress the prestige of the emperor, limit the increasingly prosperous imperial power, and return the situation in the court to the hands of the party members.

These people also contacted Yuan Feng, Cai Yong, Song Feng, Xing Ziang and others, but they were arrested on the spot and sent to the embroidered clothes envoy, Wang Fu. No one looked for it.
During the court meeting, the ministers like Yuan Feng were also a little tired. These days, they were very busy, especially Cai Yong. He strictly controlled the Imperial Academy and Menzixue. The feelings of the imperial students here for Emperor Xiaokang were almost crazy Yes, if today's imperial edicts were imposed, Emperor Xiaokang would be buried lightly, and the palace would be refurbished with his money so that he could enjoy himself, these imperial students would definitely not be able to stand it.

The emperor sat on the top seat, but he looked confident. He sneered, looked at the ministers, and asked: "I heard that some people in the court discussed the emperor and regarded me as unfilial. Some even said that the emperor was filial. Was it killed by me?"

"Hahaha~~" The Son of Heaven laughed and asked, "Who thinks so, you can stand up and tell me!"

It was very quiet in the temple, but no one dared to stand up and answer.

Some people can see that the emperor seems to be different today.

The emperor sneered, took out a letter, got up, walked down, handed it to Cai Yong, and said: "Cai Gong once taught Emperor Xiaokang calligraphy, I hope Cai Gong has a look, this is the handwriting of Emperor Xiaokang?"

Cai Yong took the letter with some doubts, read it carefully for a long time, nodded, and said, "Exactly."

"Xing Gong, you have been in charge of Shangshutai for a long time, look, this is the seal of Emperor Xiaokang?"

"Exactly!"

"Okay, my lord, read this book from Emperor Xiaokang's last edict to all the officials!!" The emperor put the letter in Wang Fu's hand, then turned and sat on the upper seat. Wang Fu held the letter in his hand and read it aloud stand up:

"I, Emperor Hong of the Great Man!"

"I have been unwell for a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive the winter, so I leave this edict, my son Liu Bian will personally enact it!"

"Before I was alive, the traitors in the court ran away, and the villains hid. If I leave, the traitors in the court will surely prosper again. Therefore, I leave this edict. If there are thieves who want to bury me lightly and talk about the emperor, they will be a family!!!"

"If there are thieves who blame the emperor for the affairs of King Chenliu and disregard family affection, clan!!!"

"If there are thieves who blame the emperor for being unfilial because of the empress dowager, the clan!!!"

"If there are thieves who talk about the emperor with disasters in their stomachs, the clan!!!"

"Regardless of his nobleness, talent, or virtue, if he violates my order, he will be punished by my legacy! There will be no amnesty! If he wants to protect and let go privately, his family will be punished by my order!!!"

After Wang Fu yelled these words, some ministers suddenly fell to the ground. The backs of the ministers were cold and trembling, as if Emperor Xiaokang was standing in front of them, roaring angrily. They understood, This plan against the new king has completely failed. In the future, as long as someone dares to use something to attack the emperor, the emperor will directly use Emperor Xiaokang's edict to kill him.

After all, it was Emperor Xiaokang who gave the order. Who would dare to disobey the mighty Emperor Xiaokang?
The party members wanted to use the prestige of Emperor Xiaokang to oppress the current emperor, but they did not expect that Emperor Xiaokang used the same method, that is, to use his own prestige to become a sharp sword in the hands of the current emperor. Talent, a titan in the army, no one dares to touch his edge!

Wang Fu looked coldly at the ministers who were extremely terrified and hurriedly pleaded guilty with the emperor, and almost laughed out loud. Emperor Xiaokang, really, before he died, he did not forget to put these ministers together. Burial in the simplest way, even more advanced than Emperor Xiaowen, giving them a reason to attack the emperor.

Then he used the excuse he gave to get rid of these ministers with ulterior motives for the emperor!

Wang Fu thought seriously, isn't that the case with Emperor Xiaokang?

When he buried Emperor Xiaohuan, it was also these traitors who criticized the emperor for being unfilial, which led to natural disasters. How did Emperor Xiaokang solve it at that time?Oh, by the way, it was the old Taiwei who helped the emperor out of the siege. Emperor Xiaokang knew these people too clearly, but did his ministers fail to do their duty?

Wang Fu turned his head and looked at the young emperor sitting on the upper seat, frowning, with a solemn expression.

Emperor Xiaokang had Liu Ju and He Xiu to escort him.

What about him?

There is me! !

Wang Fu suddenly looked at the officials. At that moment, his eyes were full of killing intent.
