Chapter 60 The Emperor's Filial Piety
When Dou Wu's burial was settled, the Empress Dowager started another court meeting a few days later, but at this time, the little fat man was also present, and everyone lowered their heads and rushed to the temple without saying a word. They couldn't let go, and didn't believe it, but when they saw the little fat man sitting on top, they still went to salute one by one, and they really wanted to ask the emperor for an explanation.

"My mother, I am still young, and I will manage the government after troublesome mother."

The little fat man paid homage to Empress Dowager Dou. Empress Dowager Dou shook her head, and said in a sad voice: "How can the daughter of a guilty minister come to court? Although your Majesty is young, she is also smart and can handle it by herself."

"What does the queen mother say?? Without the help of the queen mother, how can I be in power? Could it be that the queen mother is going to abandon me!" The little fat man burst into tears and said, and the queen mother Dou lovingly stroked the little fat man's back, forcing Squeezing out a smile, she said: "Son of heaven, how can you cry, the queen mother will not leave you." She looked at the ministers, and said just now:
"The purpose of summoning a group of ministers today is to question Dou Wu, to bury many virtuous ministers including Chen Fan, and Hu Guang and others involved in rebellion."

After she finished speaking, everyone was still silent. They decided to express their attitude with silence. No matter what you say, we all believe in Dou Wu. Dou Wu will never plot chaos. You made a mistake!
Their attitude made Empress Dowager Dou even more furious, but she couldn't speak. Could it be that she should decide her father's crime by herself?Isn't that too cruel?
The little fat man suddenly said: "I don't believe that General Dou will plot chaos. It is General Dou who welcomed me to this ninth-five position. Since General Dou has dealt with the world's political leaders and the world is in great order, the people have always praised him. Such a virtuous person , how can you act rebelliously?"

Hearing this, the officials suddenly widened their eyes, looked at the emperor in disbelief, and even a few of them started to cry, while the Empress Dowager looked at the little fat man in shock, but she remembered that the little fat man was What did my father look like after being frightened!

The little fat man got up and said loudly: "I have been inquiring about the events of that day for the past few days, and I have learned that General Dou attacked Weiyang that day just to eradicate eunuchs, for the sake of my great man, and those eunuchs The eunuchs, Zhongchang attendants! They bewitched the soldiers of the northern army, saying that the general rebelled, and was killed by the soldiers just now. General Dou died for the big man!!"

The little fat man wailed and turned towards the ministers. Some cried loudly, some were suspicious, and some even silently looked at the young emperor. The little fat man turned his head and shook his head towards Queen Mother Dou. The queen mother listened in shock, the little fat man looked at the many courtiers below, and suddenly said: "Zhen, it was too late to learn about this, the man has passed away and is irretrievable."

"This is my responsibility. If it weren't for my failure to eradicate those traitors as soon as possible, why would there be today's disaster?!"

The little fat man squeezed his eyes, waited for a while, and then said: "Today, I will justify the name of General Dou, and all the ministers obey the order!!", the little fat man shouted suddenly, and many courtiers, whether they were suspicious or crying They all got up one after another, stood in the center of the court, bowed to the little fat man, and saw a group of ministers leaning over, the little fat man's eyes shone with joy, and he was quickly suppressed by him.

"Zhao, Mr. Dou, it is immoral to lead troops to attack Weiyang. However, we regard him as the heart of the country and the people. I pardon him for his innocence, posthumously posthumous Duke Wei, and bury him beside the imperial tomb. , as well as the future king, will be sacrificed every year to tell their spirits in heaven!"

"The Son of Heaven is wise!"

Everyone shouted and bowed down to worship again.

"I also hope that you can forgive my sins... I did not get rid of the castrated dog early on, and Mr. Dou died in my hands!" The little fat man wiped his tears and said, and the officials were even more moved, including Liu Tao Standing up, he said, "Your Majesty should not be underestimated. This is not your Majesty's fault!"

"No, it was I who killed Mr. Dou. I regret it!" The little fat man said in pain, and the officials comforted him again. Then the little fat man raised his head, looked at the officials, and asked again: "A few days ago , I heard from Zhang Zhonghou that several party members dug the graves of those Zhongchang servants, not just who did it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd fell silent again. Not long after, a few people stood up and said:

"Minister Zhang Jian is guilty!"

"Chen Yuankang is guilty!"

"Chen Cen is guilty!"

The little fat man sized them up, and suddenly said: "What crime do you have? Those ten servants have committed a heinous crime. You deserve it! Ten gold rewards!" The little fat man suddenly looked at the ministers again, and said solemnly : "You stick to your moral conduct and see off Duke Wei, you are also rewarded! I will also reward each of you with ten gold!" The little fat man roared loudly.

Everyone apologized again, and the image of the little fat man suddenly became higher in their eyes. This little fat man who is less than seven feet looks so tall at the moment. If he can appease the party members under heaven, the little fat man will be very happy.

You know, because Emperor Xiaoheng sold his officials to confer titles, plus the money he got from the mansion of the ten permanent servants, he piled up all the imperial funds, not to mention that Dou Wu and the Zhongchang servants were all dead, so he sealed or cursed, None of them had any effect. The little fat man looked at the officials below and decided that it was time. Suddenly, he said seriously:
"From my point of view, the world is full of disasters, and the barbarians knock on the gate. This is the crime of Zhongchang Shi. It is not virtuous to the sky, and it certainly brings disasters, and the matter of Wei Gong is also the same. All the officials listen to the order!"

This time, the speed of everyone bowing down and saluting was much faster. Everyone bowed their heads completely and waited for the emperor's edict. The little fat man said seriously: "I have decided that there will be no more post of Zhongchang servant in the future. From now on, there will be no Zhongchang in the court." Waiter, I also hope that you and other party members will work hard to govern, and govern this great Han world for me!"

"what?"

"The world is wise!!"

"We are fortunate to meet the Holy One!"

Some party members even cried out. They have been bullied by eunuchs for too long. The struggle between eunuchs and scholars can be traced back to a hundred years ago. At that time, they did not have the name party members. These real sages have worked so hard for the emperor to hand over the government to them for too long, but they didn't expect that after Dou Wu died, the dream came true instead!

The crowd shouted long live, ecstatic.

And the little fat man looked at them calmly, Zhong Changshi?It's just an official title, I don't have a Zhongchangshi, I can change the name, or simply use the Huangmen Order to manage the inner court, without the title of Zhongchangshi, can't the eunuchs resist you?
At the end of the court meeting, the ministers discussed to bury Dou Wu again, but it was a grand burial. The little fat man also said that he would appear in the funerals of Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others, and the death of Chen Fan and others would naturally happen. The blame is on the eunuchs, and the eunuchs' disposal is naturally to confiscate their property and return it to the treasury. Most of the property has been taken away by the little fat man. I have to say that the property of these eunuchs is really shocking.

God knows how much they have embezzled.

As for the canonization and burial of Dou Wu, Chen Fan and others, the little fat man let the officials discuss it on their own, and even after he left the court, the queen mother walked out with him. Helplessly said: "Du Wu is the father of the empress, how can I convict him?" He sighed and said: "As long as the empress can feel better, I will not pursue Dou Wu's crime."

"Anyway, those Zhongchang attendants are devoid of conscience, and they are not good things. Let them bear the crimes."

"How does the queen mother think?"

The little fat man asked timidly, Empress Dowager Dou hugged the little fat man suddenly, and cried loudly.
