A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 185 Changes in the sky and chaos in government

Shangguan Rui brought Emperor Han to the Empress Dowager's bed twenty steps before stopping and motioned Emperor Han to come forward.

Emperor Han took a deep breath and slowly approached Bai Hui. He saw a female imperial doctor on the side giving Bai Hui an acupuncture.

Emperor Han looked at the silver needle on Queen Bai's head in confusion and said, "What is this?"

Wang Hongying turned around and saw that it was the Han Emperor. After bowing, he said: "This is the golden needle technique passed down by the famous doctor Bian Hong. It has miraculous effects on treating emergencies. I went to Chaoge Doctor's Mansion to learn it."

Emperor Han nodded and asked, "How is your mother?"

Wang Hongying said: "In the past, the Queen Mother was overtired in handling state affairs and never got any rest, which led to her becoming seriously ill. Now she suffered from cold, coupled with the death of Guang Xingong, she fell into a coma due to multiple illnesses. As for when she will wake up, I don’t know either.”

Emperor Han knelt down and saw that Bai Hui was only in her thirties, but looked as old as fifty or sixty years old. A trace of regret arose in his heart, and tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously. He turned around and asked, "What else is there?" Is there any way?"

Wang Hongying said: "I have low medical skills. Maybe if I find Bian Hong, the Queen Mother can be revived."

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty immediately said: "You immediately send someone to find Bian Hong. No matter what method you use, you must bring him to Chang'an to treat my mother's illness. Remember, no matter what method you use, you must pay any price!"

Wang Hongying saluted and said hello.

After looking at Bai Hui for a few more times, Han Emperor walked down from the bed in despair. When he walked to Shangguan Rui's side, Shangguan Rui called out to Han Emperor.

The Emperor of Han turned around and saw Shangguan Rui carrying a tray with a wooden box on it: "Your Majesty, this is what the Queen Mother asked me to give to Your Majesty before she fell into coma. The Queen Mother said:
'Your Majesty has a bad temper, but he is the son of the Queen Mother after all. For the sake of the late Emperor and the Queen Mother, please treat the people of the world well, Princess Anping and the King of Zhongshan.

Lu Gongtai is a kind man, and Lu Tong, Lu Tai's son, is a steady man. He hopes that your majesty can marry Princess Anping to him. The King of Zhongshan has a similar temperament to His Majesty, but he has never had great ambitions. I hope that Your Majesty will wait for him to be crowned and return him to his fiefdom, and send a generous minister to look after him, so that the Queen Mother will have no regrets. '"

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty opened the wooden box and revealed a square object wrapped in yellow silk. He opened the silk cloth and found a square jade seal inside. He picked it up and took a closer look. It was carved by Qin Shihuang using He's Bi from Zhao. The jade seal of the country.

The jade seal is four inches in diameter, with five dragons on it. This dragon is a chi dragon. On the bottom, it is said that Qin Prime Minister Li Si carved eight characters in small seal script: "Ordered by heaven, you will live forever".

Emperor Han was silent, put it back in place, wrapped it in silk cloth again, closed the lid, took the tray, and walked outside without saying a word.

Everyone who was waiting anxiously outside saw the Han Emperor coming out and rushed to greet him. The Han Emperor handed the tray to his personal eunuch Liu Neng and told him not to throw away the wooden box on the tray even if he lost his life.

Liu Neng immediately realized what was inside, knelt down and swore quickly.

When the others saw this, they knew it was a success.

The Han Emperor ordered: "Seal the Changle Palace and appoint Chen He from the south gate of Weiyang Palace as the Changle Palace Guard to guard the Queen Mother's palace. No one is allowed to enter or exit except the imperial physician Wang Hongying."

Then he went to Weiyang Palace, Shangguan Rui just looked at everything outside quietly without saying a word.

20th

The Han Emperor received the Empress Dowager's edict, and all power returned to the Han Emperor.

After seeing the edict uploading the imperial seal, the ministers did not object at all, and everything in Changle Palace was blocked by the Han Emperor and was not leaked at all.

After the Han emperor got the power, his first order was because Prime Minister Bai Jun was in mourning and could not handle state affairs for a long time. In order to prevent chaos in the world, he divided the position of prime minister into two and appointed Piyang Hou Shenshi as the left prime minister. , Bai Jun is the right prime minister, and takes over all the responsibilities of Prime Minister Bai before Bai Jun returns to Chang'an.

twenty-one

He also ordered that Lü Chan, Marquis of Zhou Lu, be appointed as a guard of the Southern Army, and Lu Lu, the younger brother of Lu Ze, the Marquis of Jiancheng, was appointed as a Lieutenant of the Northern Army.

Later, he issued a series of orders to appoint his cronies, and demoted or dismissed many officials and generals who were related to the Bai family. As a result, the Bai family had no position in the court except Bai Jun.

Even the prime minister, Shi Su Jian, was appointed as the Prime Minister of Zhongshan State by the Han Emperor's order.

All the ministers knew that the situation had changed, but the Liu family ignored the matter because it did not involve themselves. However, the Lu family and Shen Shiqi's party members made great strides and took over many important positions.

This caused dissatisfaction among some of the meritorious princes, but because it was the Han Emperor who came forward, and the Han Emperor married the daughter of Qu Nihou, they did not take any action.

Thirty days

Queen Mother Bai Hui's body could no longer hold on, but the team looking for the famous doctor Bian Hong was still on the way to Nanyang County, because Bian Hong had moved from Yanmen County to Nanyang County. That night
The Queen Mother Bai Hui died of illness in a coma. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered that the Queen Mother and the late Emperor be buried together in Anling, and she was given the posthumous title of Queen Ren of the Han Dynasty. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was very sad and ordered the whole country to observe mourning for one month and prohibit all alcohol and meat.

The saddest thing is that all the women in the world mourned the Queen Mother Bai Hui. If they could, they would wear white clothes, but if they could not, they would wear a white cloth on their heads. So from now on, there will still be women wearing white cloths wrapping their hair while working. People ask why? The answer was: "I am just mourning for the benevolent queen."

Especially in Sichuan, it is considered beautiful for women to wear plain clothes and white flowers on their heads. Because the name Baihui contains Hui, for a time, Cymbidium orchid became a must-have plant in women's boudoir.

The first year of Emperor Han
At this time, the Han emperor was probably still in mourning, but he took the lead in violating etiquette, drinking and having fun in the harem, and toying with the maids. Queen Chen Yun, dressed in mourning clothes, rushed into the palace and saw the scene in front of her. She lectured the Han Emperor with grief and anger, but the Han Emperor retorted and was rude. She was imprisoned in the palace and was not allowed to leave the house.

The second year of the Han Dynasty
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty had more than twenty concubines, among whom the most favored was Lu Chan's daughter Lu Wan. She and Lu Wan had fun in the palace almost every day and did not go to the morning court.

On this day, Tian Guangyong, the imperial censor, could not stand the Han emperor's failure to go to court for three months. When the Han emperor finally went to court, he bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of the Han emperor.

The Han Emperor was furious and had Tian Guangyong imprisoned.

Prime Minister Zuo Shenshi took the opportunity to recommend Zhongcheng to his censor Zhongcheng. The Han Emperor nodded in agreement. Now Shenshiqi had almost a monopoly on the power of the court. In addition to Taiwei Zhou Bo, he occupied two of the three Duke positions and nine ministers' positions. seven.

In addition, he also catered to his preferences and searched for beautiful women to offer to the Han Emperor, who all accepted them with a smile.

In fact, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had always been thinking about the former Queen Mother's personal female officer Shangguan Rui. However, after the Queen Mother's death, Shangguan Rui asked in front of all the ministers to accompany the Queen Mother and volunteered to garrison in Anling. Many other female guards, maids, and court ladies also requested to accompany her. . The Emperor of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to agree with them because of the disfavor of his ministers.

The third year of Emperor Han's reign
At this time, it had been three years since Right Prime Minister Bai Jun had observed his filial piety, and finally returned to Chang'an, along with Bai Qi, son of Bai Yu, the Marquis of Xiuwu.

In fact, although Bai Jun was far away in Chaoge, he was well aware of the situation in Chang'an and knew that it was not the best time to return to Chang'an. So he decisively asked the Han Emperor for orders to observe Bai Qing's mourning for three years, and the Han Emperor happily agreed. In order to show his kindness, he still let him hold the position of right prime minister.

Right Prime Minister Bai Gong and Bai Jun arrived in Chang'an, which immediately aroused the vigilance of Shen Shiqi and Lu's faction. However, they saw that Bai Jun did not make any move, as if nothing before had happened. He was just for Xiuwu Hou Changdong General Bai Yu His son Bai Qi applied for the post of Changle Palace Guardsman.

Emperor Han agreed. After all, he was also a little scared, because in order to repay the Lu family, he actually handed over all military power to the Lu family, including the northern and southern armies. This was all the military power in Chang'an and its surrounding areas.

He regretted a little. Finally, under the persuasion of the Han Emperor and Shen Shiqi, Lu reluctantly agreed to hand over the position of Changle Palace Guard, but the position of Southern Army Guard must be established to command the two palace guards.

With Bai Jun's silence, Emperor Han, Shen Shiqi, and the Lu family all relaxed and continued their moth-like actions.

However, because Bai Jun was sitting on the throne of the right prime minister, Shen Shi was still wary of him. He no longer criticized him casually, but listened to Bai Jun's opinions and demoted officials who disagreed with him to other places, or He is the governor of a county, or the magistrate, chief historian, or magistrate of a county. Or the prime minister of a vassal state and its subordinate departments.

And Tian Guangyong was also released due to Bai Jun's interference. The position of Yushi doctor was no longer available. However, because the position of the three princes must be ennobled, so when Empress Bai promoted Tian Guangyong to Yushi doctor, she He was granted the title of Marquis of Anqiu and had a settlement of 1,000 households. He was considered a small Marquis of Guannei.

Now with the title of Marquis of Anqiu, Bai Jun has operated the position of Lang Zhongling for him, and the original Lang Zhongling, Lu Tai, took the initiative to resign and give up this position. Although Lu Chan was very dissatisfied, Lu Tai still remained in the Lu family. With great prestige and power, Lu Chan had no choice. After all, even Jianchou Lu Ze stood with Lu Tai.

Lu Tai wrote that there were many government affairs in the state of Lu, which the prince could not handle, so he requested to be granted the title. The Emperor of Han agreed after consulting Lu Chan for his opinion.

But before leaving Chang'an, Lu Tai secretly went to Bai Gong's mansion and talked for an hour, but he didn't know what he said.

In the same year, because Lu Wan wanted to be the queen, but it was occupied by Chen Yun, and she knew that Chen Yun was not liked by the Han emperor, she took the opportunity to say to the Han emperor: "I know that your majesty likes to have fun, and the queen sister is alone. If you feel lonely, why don’t you call Sister Queen and let’s play together?”

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty had no feelings for Chen Yun, because the marriage was forcibly arranged for him by the Queen Mother, and Chen Yun was upright and boring. Every time they met, they said something about being diligent and treating the maids and the people well.

Hearing that Lu Wan asked a serious woman like Chen Yun to play with them, the Han Emperor felt that it was novel and very playful, so he asked the eunuch outside the door to call the queen.

Chen Yun was carefully selected by Empress Bai for the Han Emperor. She had an independent personality, a peaceful temperament, and loved reading. In the past, she was in charge of the entire Qu Nihou Mansion, and she was able to manage it in an orderly manner. Even Qu Nihou's eldest son They all admired her very much, so the entire Qu Nihou Mansion loved her very much.

Chen Yun arrived at the Han Emperor's palace and opened the door. She saw a smoky atmosphere inside, and a wind of corruption rushed towards her face. Chen Yun frowned subconsciously, but she no longer tried to persuade the Han Emperor as before.

A few days ago, after she went to Anling to worship Bayern, she cried to him about what the Han Emperor had done and asked what she should do. She met Shangguan Rui, a female official who had been around her successively. Change and advise her to be wise and protect her body first.

Chen Yun listened. After returning to the palace, she decided not to care about worldly affairs. She bluntly said that she wanted to pray for His Majesty. She wanted to bear it until she took the position of Queen Mother, and then came out to clean up the affairs of the government and revive the affairs of Empress Lu and Empress Bai.

But he didn't expect that Emperor Han would come to call him so soon. He had no choice but to obey the order and go forward, but he didn't know that if he went there, he would be heading into an abyss.
