Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 67
In the second year of Jianning,

Spring, the first month, Ding Chou, pardon the world.

In February, in Yisi, a green snake was seen on the imperial seat. In Guisi, there was a strong wind, rain, hail, thunderbolt, and more than a hundred trees were pulled up.

Sitting in the court meeting, the little fat man frowned. A few days ago, a servant in the palace saw a green snake entangled on the imperial seat, which made the little fat man turn pale with fright. Not long after, there were strong winds, thunder and lightning, and hail , Blowing down dozens of trees outside the palace, the little fat man could no longer sit still, and immediately summoned a group of ministers to ask questions. He Xiu, as the emperor's teacher, also appeared in the court meeting for the first time.

When everyone saw He Xiu, they also saluted him with great admiration, but the old Taiwei glared angrily.

"There are green snakes to see and Yuzuo, and there are heavy wind and rain and hail. I don't know why?"

The little fat man frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty!" But it was He Xiu who stood up, straightened his back, raised his head and said: "I have heard that, to establish a country and inherit a family, villains should not be used. Today, a hero has been away for a long time, and he has not received a rank. A villain favors privates, but enjoys it." Dafeng, this is shocking! Taiwei Liu Ju, his morality is not enough to convince others, and during his years with Emperor Xiaoheng, he served as the third prince, and there were frequent earthquakes and solar eclipses. This is because his virtue is not worthy, of course, please resign!"

"With his words, the world is governed. Last year, His Majesty enlisted this man as the Sangong, so there was a snow disaster in winter, and today's wind and hailstorm, so he has a low moral character and is in a high position!" After He Xiu finished speaking, he sat back to his original seat, The old Taiwei almost jumped up in anger, this old man, why are natural disasters and man-made disasters always borne by the old man?He stood up abruptly, looked at the little fat man, and said Lang Lang:

"Your Majesty, I have heard that in the prosperous Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou's burial is not as good as the ceremony. The sky is moving and the king is out of the suburbs. The sky is raining, the wind is blowing, and the harvest is exhausted."

Sure enough, the old captain started talking directly from Zhou, the little fat man listened with great interest, He Xiu and the party members turned dark, and listened helplessly, the old captain talked for more than half an hour, and finally said Speaking of this dynasty, the meaning is very simple, that is, Emperor Xiaoheng's funeral was too light, so the sky moved its power. This principle is the same as that of Zhou Gong's funeral.

The little fat man barely understood, and couldn't help frowning, could it be true?
This is much more reasonable than what He Xiu said!

The emperor hastily issued an order to ask Sangong to sacrifice to the imperial mausoleum to calm Tianwei.

He has not set up a crown yet, so he is not qualified to go to worship the ancestral temple and imperial tomb.

Suddenly, Yang Ci stood up and said: "I have heard that only asparagus and snakes are the auspiciousness of women. Fu Wei, the empress dowager, decides to make a palace gate and help establish a holy man. Your majesty is a son of man. Dong Gui has no queen's reality. He is separated from the empty palace, worrying." Feeling heavenly, if there is a disease of fog and dew, what face should your majesty see the world? Therefore, I petition to make Dong Gui the empress dowager, and set up a palace mother's ceremony to show the courtesy of people and ministers. "

As soon as these words came out, the whole temple fell silent. The little fat man frowned and looked at Yang Ci below. The Empress Dowager Dou looked down at Yang Ci, but said nothing. He closed his eyes, the little fat man With a sneer in his heart, how could he not know Yang Ci's thoughts, is it really for his own good and for the good of his mother to make his mother the queen mother?

It's not that Empress Dowager Dou is obsessed with herself, and her reputation is so high that she has become a weapon to restrict party members, so she wants to support Empress Dowager Dong. Although Dong will also favor herself, she does not have the prestige of Queen Mother Dou. Dou Wu is everywhere, and her husband is not Emperor Xiaoheng. As long as Empress Dowager Dong comes to power, Empress Dowager Dou will no longer be able to restrict them in the temple!
The little fat man wanted to object, but he couldn't object, let's not talk about whether his mother would be sad, but from the point of view of filial piety, he can't object, this is his birth mother, if he doesn't seal his birth mother, what will people in the world say about him?
The little fat man hated these scheming party members very much, but he had no way to object. He was about to agree, when suddenly the old captain stood up, looked at Yang Ci who was opposite, shook his head, and said, "Li said : As the son of the latter, filial piety and Emperor Dou’s kindness, which was considered a good talk in the previous life, and now Emperor Huan is the father, how can we not regard the Queen Mother as the mother.”

The old Taiwei didn't disappoint the little fat man, and started talking directly from Mu Zongxiao and the emperor. Yang Ci opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. It took another half an hour to talk like this, and finally, he concluded: "May Your Majesty admire You Yu's steaming transformation, and contemplate "Kai Feng" to comfort your mother."

For half an hour, what he wanted to say was very clear, that is, since the Son of Heaven takes Emperor Xiaoheng as his father, he should take Empress Dowager Dou as his mother, and he cannot stay away from Queen Dowager Dou because of his birth mother.

The little fat man nodded, got up very gratefully, and said: "What the old Taiwei said is very true. Since I entered the palace, Empress Dowager Dou has regarded me as a child, and I have also regarded me as a biological mother. I have no way to repay the love of the Empress Dowager." Don't talk too much, gentlemen!" After the Son of Heaven had said so, the officials could no longer speak out, they could only sigh, and looked at the old Taiwei even more unkindly.

The old captain ignored it, raised his head, smiled at the little fat man, and sat down.

To be honest, the little fat man respected and loved his friend who often chatted with him more and more, he smiled and winked at him, He Xiu was furious, looked at the old man beside him, the more he looked at him, the more angry he became, he was such a villain How dare he confuse the old man, if he hadn't taken care of the prestige of the little fat man, maybe he would have fought with the old captain by now!
Although the little fat man could not be crowned Queen Mother Dong for the time being, he could not hurt his mother's heart, so he ordered that Dong Gui's brother be favored as the Jinwu.

Dong Chong was also his uncle, and he loved him since he was a child. It was justifiable for the little fat man to enshrine him, and the officials did not object.

This court meeting ended like this.

The little fat man originally wanted to talk about the matter of spring planting with the four gentlemen, but the old captain really delayed for too long, and the court meeting couldn't be held until evening, so he had to give up. The little fat man decided to talk about it tomorrow. talk about it.

After returning to the palace, he went to see Mrs. Dong, but Mrs. Dong was nowhere to be seen. The little fat man couldn't laugh or cry, but he is only a queen mother, why is this so?At the gate of the hall, after waiting for a long time, Mrs. Dong ordered him to come in. The little fat man entered the palace with a smile, but Mrs. Dong closed his eyes and said nothing. Behind him, he carefully beat Dong's shoulders.

"Hmph, what are you doing here?"

"Go find your biological mother!"

The little fat man giggled, and said: "Mum, don't get angry, this is an expedient strategy." Dong opened his eyes, his eyes were a little red, and said: "Expediency? Dou Wu is dead, why? Do you still want Dou Miao to come to court? Do you think Amu is inferior to her? That’s right, she is from a great family and the daughter of three monarchs, she is not like me, but from a poor family.”

Seeing that his mother was about to cry, the little fat man became anxious, and silently leaned into Dong's ear, and said, "Aunt, I can't fully grasp the current government affairs, just because I am too young to speak, only Queen Mother Dou Before the court, I can only say a few words if I use my prestige to suppress the courtiers. If there is no Queen Dowager Dou, I might have to stay in the palace all day like when I first entered the palace and not go out."

"Then Yang Ci's contact with you is not out of kindness. He wants to use you to suppress Queen Mother Dou so that I have no supporters in the temple. Those policies can only be implemented after Queen Mother Dou agrees. Without her, the officials I agreed, what else can I do?"

After the little fat man explained, Mrs. Dong's eyes widened suddenly, and said: "Oh! I almost hurt you! That thief sent someone to contact me before. I thought he was a gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be such a traitor. Lang, catch him and kill him!" The little fat man shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "If I kill him, how can the officials stop?"

"So what? Didn't you kill a Dou Wu, are you still afraid of him?"

"Shh! Mother, keep quiet! Then Dou Wu died in Hou Lan's hands, what has it to do with me!" The little fat man almost jumped up in fright, Dong Shi rolled his eyes at him, and then nodded without saying a word.

"Aunt, don't say that again. As for Yang Ci, you continue to contact him, and don't show hostility. It's better to be like before, and don't ask him for anything. If he asks you to do something, you tell me it's all right"

The mother and son were quietly discussing in Yongle Palace.
