I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 391 Liu Long betrays his relatives and leaves, and Deng Sui ascends to the throne again (Part )
Du Jigong, the confidant of Emperor Liu Long of the Han Dynasty, was assassinated in the street.

Although Du Jigong relied on his extraordinary bravery and the large number of soldiers patrolling the capital, the support was very timely and did not cause any real harm to Du Jigong.

But the assassination in the street still shocked Du Jigong.

At the same time, Liu Long was completely stunned.

Because at this moment, when he learned that Du Jigong had been assassinated, he received two messages in succession.

First, Cao Teng had frequent contact with people outside the palace, and his relationship was extremely close.

Secondly, in the mansion that Liu Long rewarded Du Jigong, a large number of armors, weapons, and even arrows appeared.

Of these two pieces of news, Liu Long won’t say what happened to the former, but for the latter, even a fool knows that this is frame-up!

But before Liu Long could get angry, Sikong Cui Yuan took the lead and gave Liu Long an explanation.

He investigated the matter clearly, and not only proved that Du Jigong was wronged, but also found the traitor in Du Jigong's mansion, and found out that someone sent these things to Du Jigong's mansion. of.

But have you ever thought about it, if your Majesty really fights with us to the end, and then in order to suppress the civil and military power of the Manchu Dynasty and suppress the military power of the capital, he will not hesitate to bring back the soldiers and horses from Bingzhou and the northwest even if the border is empty.

That is Your Majesty!
If there is no such rule, does His Majesty think that he can control all the soldiers and horses in the world by himself?

What your Majesty relies on now is nothing more than his trusted generals and soldiers on the border.

There are rules of the court in this court. These rules not only protect the courtiers, but also check and balance us. The biggest role is to protect the people who made the rules.

"Cao Teng has been with your Majesty for many years, but your Majesty is not willing to fully believe even Cao Teng, the eunuch. Do you really believe in those generals who you have not seen for many years?

And do these people really have no ambition?

Their official positions were not high, and their family background was not very good. Liu Long did not approve of their confession.

So what are the consequences?
Is it because the border is empty and barbarians are invading?

Your Majesty, why do you think those people will not be blinded by power?

"Your Majesty, if it is really an old minister, or one of the Deng Liang, Dou Geng and others in the court, I'm afraid it won't be Du Jigong.

They may have ambitions, but they will not let their ambitions expand to that point, and Your Majesty, if Your Majesty really decides to break the rules of this world.

Your Majesty, I am indeed sowing discord now.

But has His Majesty ever thought about whether they are really trustworthy? "

Cui Yuan asked Liu Long to clear out all the idle people, and then spoke these heartfelt words to Liu Long.

Because the most dangerous thing is not the barbarians, but will these people become the second me after entering the capital?

Or maybe His Majesty thinks how he can control everything?
Regardless of the courtiers or the aristocratic families behind them, they are just helping His Majesty to govern the world.

Cui Yuan even brought all the officials involved in the matter to Liu Long.

But Cui Yuan gave Liu Long a reason to rest assured.

Then we can no longer expect to rely on this rule to protect His Majesty. "

Yes, but also no!

Isn't the general far away in northern Xinjiang more suitable?

After Cui Yuan finished speaking, he took a deep breath and then chuckled towards Liu Long.

"Your Majesty, this is what I have said. As for whether your Majesty will listen and whether you are willing, it is actually not important anymore.

Your Majesty, I take my leave!"

After Cui Yuan finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left.

His attitude was so firm and clear that Liu Long couldn't help but take a deep breath and stood up in horror to stop the other party.

But no matter how Liu Long called, Cui Yuan had no intention of staying for a moment longer.

The most terrible thing is that when Liu Long decided to have someone force him to stay, the surrounding forbidden troops suddenly stopped making any movement. At this moment, Liu Long finally remembered that the imperial army under his command was also commanded by others, and Du Jigong was not in the palace now.

As for Du Jigong’s generals,
"Your Majesty, why do you think those people won't be blinded by power?"

At this time, Cui Yuan's words finally made Liu Long fully understand. It turned out that this capital not only had intrigues, but also prosperity that made people trapped in it and couldn't extricate themselves.

At this moment, Liu Long suddenly couldn't help but fell to the ground. He wanted to go out, but the door of the side hall was closed directly.

Liu Long did not roar or hiss, because he knew it was of no use.

That afternoon, Du Jigong temporarily decided to stop his bath and hurriedly returned to Liu Long. However, after entering the palace, he discovered that something was wrong.

The surrounding soldiers gradually became strangers, and the direction they were heading was not towards the palace.

Du Jigong, who discovered the problem, immediately wanted to get away, but before he could make any move, hundreds of elite forbidden troops swarmed forward and surrounded him with shocked eyes.

And the leaders were surprisingly the two confidants who had been with him all these years.

Du Jigong did not die in an assassination outside the palace, nor in a frame-up, because he was an official in the court and Liu Long's confidant.

So he can't die casually, but that doesn't mean he can't die!

Liu Long got the news that day, and Du Jigong didn't wait for the court to give an answer to find out the truth. Worried that he would be plotted, he directly led his troops to break into the palace gate.

In the end, the Forbidden Army soldiers guarding the palace fought bravely and killed the enemy.

However, in view of the "injustice" he suffered, the ministers still hope that Liu Long can give Du Jigong an explanation before he becomes seriously ill and recuperate.

Redress his injustice!

This operation completely shocked Liu Long and made him laugh.

He felt humiliated, but didn't know what to say. Even from the words of the other party, they were already preparing to find a new emperor.

Liu Long knew all this, but Liu Long couldn't change it.

He could only watch helplessly as these things happened to him, until that day, the door of the palace was slowly opened again.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman in palace attire, exuding luxury and majesty, came to him again and slowly extended her hand towards him.

"Don't worry, everything has been solved!"

On that day, when the Han Dynasty Empress Dowager Deng Sui was discussing with the courtiers that she would be her Majesty's adopted prince, former General Deng Zhi suddenly led his troops to surround the main hall. The Empress Dowager Deng Sui of the Han Dynasty slowly walked towards the palace that originally belonged to him under the protection of the imperial army. Location.

On that day, thirty-seven important officials in the court, headed by Weiwei, were accused of imprisoning His Majesty and intending to rebel. Their homes were confiscated and their families were exterminated.

That day, my cousin Geng was uprooted, and the generals stationed on the border were almost replaced from top to bottom.

Among them were members of the Deng family, virtuous people recommended by the court, and naturally there were also juniors who had followed Liu Long in conquering the Hu people. These people were also conquered by Deng Sui early on.

On the same day, blood flowed in the capital. More than 3,000 rangers were captured, executed, or imprisoned because they were involved in the assassination. They were all severely punished.

The capital and its surrounding generals were deceived into the Geng family's residence by the counselor next to Deng Sui, in the name of a cavalry general.

Then they were surrounded by private soldiers secretly mobilized by Deng. Finally, Deng Sui personally ordered that all of them be executed for treason.

After that, he completely took control of the capital and the surrounding troops, using Deng and some important officials in the court that Deng Sui had won over in advance.

After doing all this, Deng Sui once again used his clever skills to adjust many interests in the court.

At the same time, he took back the power inside and outside the court into his own hands.

And told Liu Long a few words.

"I, regardless of whether this matter can make you remember, but from today until my death, you can no longer continue to hold the authority in the court."

".I, this is for your own good!"
