I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 383 If the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come.
Liu Long's sudden change of attitude surprised Deng Zhi and Geng Zhong.

But thinking of the invisible pressure Liu Long received in the court, they seemed to understand again.

"Your Majesty, I am naturally willing to serve your Majesty."

At this time, Deng Zhao had already arrived in front of Liu Long and saluted Liu Long very respectfully.

But after saying this, Deng Zhi quickly added something while Liu Long didn't respond.

"It's just that the veteran is indeed old, already.
The old minister is incompetent, so please allow your majesty to allow the old minister to beg for his bones! "

Deng Zhi's words made Liu Long in front of him widen his eyes instantly, and at the same time, Geng Zhong couldn't help but take a long breath of cold air.

Looking at Deng Zhao's side face, Geng Zhong was so shocked that he couldn't help but start howling.

He had heard before that although this general of the Deng family was not good at war, he knew the way of advance and retreat and was the best among his relatives.

But now Geng Zhong, who is also a foreign relative, looks at Deng Zhi and is completely convinced in his heart.

When the Geng family became a relative of the Han Dynasty, Deng Sui, the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty who the Deng family relied on most, suddenly announced that she would no longer be in charge of the government.

For a time, the words of Deng's decline and Geng's rise could be said to have spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

At that time, Geng Zhong also paid a special visit to the Deng family and Deng Stallion.

I hope not to cause too much trouble with Deng Zhi, so as not to cause turmoil in the court and let Gengzi fall into the whirlpool.

As a result, during the visit, Geng Zhong saw Deng Zhi's indifference.

Many people said that Deng Zhi and others were deliberately pretending, but Geng Zhong knew that they were really indifferent and did not take it to heart at all.

At first, Geng Zhong thought that Deng Zhi knew he was unable to resist, so he just gave up.

It was not until later that Geng Zhong discovered that his Majesty had directly suppressed him, his entire family, and all descendants.

Geng Zhong finally understood how unbearable that feeling was.

Countless nights, Geng Zhong looked at the dark night sky and really didn't know how he should fall asleep.

He personally took Geng to the stage of being a relative, but instead of being prosperous and wealthy, he ended up being left alone.

Geng Zhong is not afraid of becoming a sinner, nor is he afraid of becoming a joke.

But he didn't know how to face this gap.

Only at this time did he truly understand how rare it was for Deng Zhao to be indifferent to a relative, or even a former relative.

Don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Geng Zhong even felt that if Deng Zhi could be taught well by famous generals from an early age.

He will definitely become a famous general.

How rare it is to know how to advance and retreat.

And at this moment, his admiration for Deng Zhi reached its peak.

He understood what Liu Long meant, to re-enable them to fight against those courtiers, or to fight against the families behind those courtiers.

He also understood the consequences of doing so, which would lead him into an abyss if he was not careful.

But he couldn't help but feel moved.

Once he succeeds, not only can he regain the power that belongs to his relatives, he can even become the real head of the court.

He didn't dare to think about what happened next, but he couldn't help but not think about it!
Geng Zhong didn't have any rebellious thoughts, but he couldn't help the urge to try again.

Deng Zhi once again refused without hesitation.

Although Geng Zhong didn't agree with the clean refusal, he admired his decisiveness very much.

Seeing Deng Zhao's decisive look, Liu Long also knew that there was no need to say anything more.

He could only set his sights on Geng Zhong, hoping that this general who had once fought decisively on the battlefield could make the "right" choice. And the facts did not disappoint him.

After a brief hesitation, Geng Zhong saluted directly towards Liu Long, hoping to continue serving Liu Long.

This scene made Liu Long smile directly.

"In that case, General Deng, you can go back first."

"Old minister, thank you Your Majesty."

"As for the matter of begging for bones, if the old general is really not in good health, then he should rest more in his mansion.

I, a big man, still need the help of the old general. "

Of course Liu Long would not really let Deng Zhi go back, but he would not let Deng Zhi go back so safely.

Since you don't agree with his suggestion, don't leave your mansion again.

It also saves you from creating any trouble for yourself.

Regarding Liu Long's words, Deng Zhi certainly didn't even have the idea to refute. He bowed and accepted the order and then retreated directly.

From that day on, Deng Zhi immediately released the news that he had a sudden stroke and was unable to get up.

He no longer set foot in the court.

Not only Deng Zhao, but also most of Deng's courtiers returned to the mansion for various reasons.

Instead, it was Fufeng Geng.

Although the reasons for these things happening were reasonable, everyone understood that this was Deng being deposed by his Majesty again.

And it is still unclear how far it can go.

But it was also from that day that Liu Long began to issue a very important order to Geng.

That is to find suitable people in the land of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time let Geng Zhong serve as the imperial censor, supervising all officials and even the officials of the world.
At the same time, a censorship platform was formally established in the court, with the censors as the main officials and hundreds of supervisory censors.

Let them accept reports from various places and even court officials to check whether there is anything illegal.

Liu Long's orders are undoubtedly warning some people and also putting pressure on some people.

But among the courtiers, they sneered at these things and had made various preparations to deal with them.

But what they didn't expect was that Liu Long did not directly take any action against the courtiers.

It can even be said that after the Yushitai appeared, it did not cause any waves.

Neither Geng Zhong, the censor, nor Geng and the supervisory censors who followed Geng showed any signs of taking action against the courtiers.

On the contrary, after establishing the Yushitai, Geng Zhong continued to visit the courtiers.

He kept explaining one thing to them.

"I really have no choice. It's not that I want to do anything, but that I have to do this.

Since Your Majesty has given orders, we must obey them.

This Yushitai is for supervising hundreds of officials, but in my opinion, which one of the hundreds of officials is not a loyal minister and good general of the Han Dynasty? "

Geng Zhong's words also made the courtiers couldn't help laughing.

It's just how much of this smile they believe is their own business.

But Geng Zhong's forbearance really made many of them feel relieved.

But it was just like this that they didn't realize that under the calmness in the court, there were different changes outside the court.
