The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 309: A Strong Emperor and Suppressing Eunuchs
On the canopy.

Grinding River Ring.

The Shen Ce Army camp.

"Hey! Did you hear about it?"

Soldiers were sitting on the ground in groups of three or five, taking a rest and chatting about trivial matters.

A soldier with a full beard said to the people around him:

"I heard that His Majesty will announce a general amnesty in Danfeng Tower in the next two days."

Several soldiers who were sitting crookedly beside him did not comment.

The soldier with a mustache said lazily:

"What's so strange about this? It's just the old-fashioned reward. It's a good thing."

Seeing that his comrades all had the same expression and thoughts, the bearded man quickly looked around and then whispered quickly:

"There's news from the palace."

"It is said that the Prime Minister and the Revenue Commissioner are planning to add a clause to the amnesty edict."

"Reduce the clothing and food rations of the Imperial Guards, and lower the soldiers' salaries!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding soldiers were immediately in an uproar!

……

[In July 841 AD, Emperor Wuzong of Tang conferred Qiu Shiliang the title of Left and Right Shen Ce Guan Jun Rong Envoy, and concurrently commanded the three armies inside and outside the country.]

[This position is a real promotion in name only and a demotion in reality.]

[Because the previous eunuch Wang Shoucheng lost his actual military power after being promoted to this position, and was eventually killed.]

[Qiu Shiliang knew all about Emperor Wuzong's tactics.]

[In April 842, in order to get rid of Li Deyu and regain control over Emperor Wuzong, Qiu Shiliang spread rumors to the Shen Ce Army that Li Deyu and the Du Zhi Shi, who was in charge of finance, planned to reduce the military pay of the imperial guards, and instigated them to cause trouble on the day when Emperor Wuzong was given the title of Emperor Wuzong.]

[On the 21st, Li Deyu heard the news and immediately reported it to Emperor Wuzong of Tang, asking him to go to the Yanying Palace to hold a "Yanying Report" to explain the matter.]

[When Emperor Wuzong of Tang learned of this, he was furious and immediately sent an envoy to announce to the Left and Right Shence Armies that "there is no such thing in the amnesty letter, and the amnesty letter was written by me, not by the prime minister. How can you say such a thing!"]

[The soldiers were shocked, and Qiu Shiliang had no choice but to apologize in fear and trepidation.]

……

Tang Xianzong Period
"Great! This kid is much better than Leon!"

Li Chun clapped and cheered excitedly.

"A few words! Make your meaning clear!"

"First, we need to dispel the rumor and make it clear that the rumor is completely false!"

"Secondly, make it clear that the emperor and the prime minister are of one mind!"

"The last part is a veiled criticism. It seems like he is reprimanding the imperial guards, but in fact, he is directly targeting Qiu Shiliang who is inciting the morale of the troops!"

"The most important thing is that he has the majesty of the emperor!"

Rubbing his hands, Li Chun cleared his throat and looked at Empress Guo beside him and said:

"I've thought about it and it's better to make Li Yan the successor."

Queen Guo couldn't bear to see him anymore and rolled her eyes at him.

"Your Majesty, why don't you just take a look?"

"It saves you from having to keep changing it."

Li Chun waved his hand and said confidently:

"No more changes! It's him!"

"Let Li Heng bring him here! I want to teach him myself!"

Queen Guo glanced at him and drank slowly from the teacup beside her.

Li Chun got angry when he saw her like this!
This woman! How unreasonable!

Asking her to do something but she is so reluctant? You are bullying me too much!

"We are on our way and will be there soon."

Queen Guo's simple words extinguished the anger in Li Chun's heart.

Li Chun smiled widely.

"The Queen is virtuous and kind. What will I do if I leave you?"

Queen Guo looked at Li Chun, whose color changed like a dyeing factory, and snorted.

……

[On the 23rd, Li Deyu led all the civil and military officials to give Wuzong the honorific title of Benevolent, Sacred, Civil and Military, Divine and Greatly Filial Emperor.]

【Qiu Shiliang understood Tang Wuzong's attitude towards him, so he took a step back and submitted his resignation due to illness.】

【Tang Wuzong took advantage of the situation and agreed to his resignation, appointing him as the Eunuch Supervisor.】

[He did not serve as the eunuch supervisor for long. As the situation was hopeless, Qiu Shiliang retired and returned home.]

[He died in his own residence shortly afterwards.]

……

{I still don’t understand how it works.}
{Why would Qiu Shiliang, who was fine with killing the emperor, allow Emperor Wuzong of Tang to grow up and then get rid of him? There was no fierce counterattack.}
{Is it possible that they were originally collaborating? They voluntarily gave up power because they were too old to do it anymore but also wanted to have a peaceful end? Their political struggle is too mild!}

{As long as the military power is divided, he will be unable to do anything.}
……

Big man.

Lü Zhi smiled, stroked her temples, looked at Liu Bang with contempt, and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Someone seemed to say that as long as you hold military power, the so-called internal checks and balances are a joke, right?"

"Now what? Who's the joke?"

After eating half of the anti-aging pill, Lu Zhi raised her eyebrows.

The hot weather caused a layer of fine sweat to form on the woman's smooth and tight neck.

The fine sweat was like a layer of transparent glaze, sticking the wet strands of hair tightly to her jade-white face.

"E'er, you are so beautiful."

Lu Zhi's expression was confused, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. "Don't...don't say it's useless!"

"Just tell me you're wrong...what are you doing!"

"Wait! Ouch!"

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
"Ugh……"

Liu Qi looked at Liu Heng who was sighing and was confused.

"Father, isn't it a good thing that Emperor Wuzong of Tang is so tough?"

"This shows that the eunuchs can no longer suppress the emperor!"

Liu Heng didn't want to talk, so Dou Yifang took over.

"Qi'er, do you think it's easier to handle one person or a group of people?"

Liu Qi said without hesitation:
"Of course I'm alone! One chessboard is..."

Liu Qi suddenly stopped talking and looked at his father and mother awkwardly.

"Ugh!"

Liu Heng sighed even louder.

Dou Yifang also looked at the embarrassed Liu Qi helplessly, and continued with a desperate attempt:

"Qiu Shiliang's loss of power could be a disaster for himself."

“But it’s a real benefit to everyone else.”

"This means that the rest of the eunuchs have a chance to climb up the ladder."

Liu Qi, who was feeling embarrassed, was stunned when he heard this, then looked up at Dou Yifang.

"Mother, what you mean is..."

There was a gleam of light in Dou Yifang's eyes, and there was a hint of excitement in her words.

"Qiu Shiliang's fall will not affect the overall interests of the eunuchs."

"Because eunuchs have become an important system for the imperial court to control the army and local vassal states!"

"The eunuchs' status does not come from Qiu Shiliang's personal influence, but from the system itself!"

"In this case, whether there is one more Qiu Shiliang or one less Qiu Shiliang, it makes no difference to them."

"On the contrary, without a Qiu Shiliang who knows everything about him, the next one might be even more difficult to deal with."

Liu Qi looked at his father and mother, full of confusion:

"But...but this Wu Zong..."

"He needs to carry the general trend and take control of the military power."

Liu Heng leaned against the brocade couch beside him and said calmly:

"If the general situation is gone, the military power will not be taken back."

"If we change the emperor, everything will be in vain."

……

Ji Han.

The fat and kind-hearted Liu Chan asked Zhuge Liang in a low voice.

"Father, why was the eunuch's military power divided?"

"He dared to kill the emperor, why would he allow the new emperor to share power?"

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan, with a smile on his face.

It’s gratifying to see the emperor finally having to think about power!

"Your Majesty, the so-called power is essentially constructed from the bottom up."

"The people are the most important, the king is the least important..."

Zhuge Liang recalled the past of the late emperor and sighed.

Then he continued:
"Simply put, Qiu Shiliang was able to hold that position and that power because the soldiers below obeyed him and were willing to follow him."

"If the people in the army are willing to follow him, then he will have military power."

"With military power, he can intimidate others with force, and naturally others will obey him."

"And why are you willing to obey him?"

"This is because when he first came to power, he borrowed the authority of the old emperor."

"After the old emperor dies, power has inertia. The new emperor cannot simply take back power with a word, so the army will continue to follow him out of inertia."

“But power structures can be disrupted.”

“After the new emperor takes office, he can gradually disintegrate his lower-level power through checks and balances.”

"But this is a process of confrontation and consumption. If you do it well, you can overthrow the eunuchs who supported you to ascend the throne, just like Emperor Wuzong did."

"If you don't do it well, this is a change of nectar."

Liu Chan fell silent after hearing this.

He suddenly thought of how Li Shimin instigated the Shence Army to rebel with just one word.

"So... Father-in-law."

"If Father could come back..."

You will all leave me, right?
Zhuge Liang's hand, waving the feather fan, paused slightly.

The late emperor...

……

[Qiu Shiliang retired, announcing that the eunuch group was once again under the emperor.]

[At the same time, Emperor Wuzong of Tang also began to prepare to defeat the Huihe people who had been harassing the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.]
