Emperor Liu Hong

() "It's really clean! Except for one Empress Dowager Dou, none of the others remained. Now the two families of Dou Wu and Chen Fan have been completely wiped out, and there is no future trouble left." Liu Hong returned After Luoyang, looking at the heads presented by the eunuchs, he couldn't help admiring those eunuchs. "Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, leaving no one left. What a virtue! On this point, it is necessary for me to learn from those eunuchs."

There are all witnesses and material evidence, Dou Wu and Chen Fan are undoubtedly rebellious.No matter how famous the two of them are, this is an undeniable fact.

In the early morning of the next day, all the people stayed in the hall obediently, not daring to make any noise.

Last night, such a big thing happened, how could these ministers not know about it.Dou Wu and Chen Fan, the two families were completely wiped out, and the world has changed completely since then.Now, before you figure out what's going on, it's better to be honest.If you are not careful, you will be unlucky.

Looking at the trembling ministers below, Liu Hong finally felt a little bit in power.

"Everyone knows that something big happened last night. So much so that I rushed back from Guangchengyuan overnight." Speaking of this, Liu Hong looked at the ministers below, and continued: "I never thought of that." , my great general and my grand tutor will join forces to plot rebellion!"

Usually in the early morning, no matter what happens in the hall, there will be some movement.But today was strange, apart from Liu Hong's voice, there was no noise in the main hall.

"The Great General and the Tai Tuo, they are nominally under one person and over ten thousand people. But in fact, everyone knows that all the government orders are all from the hands of the two of them, and they have become the actual controllers of the big man. But it turned out like this, they are not satisfied, and they want to drive me down, it is really intolerable!"

After speaking, Liu Hong threw the evidence of Dou Wu's private transfer of the army, and the letter from Chen Fan to Wang Kao that the eunuchs got last night, and threw them to the ministers below.Let them know what Dou Wu and Chen Fan have done.Otherwise, with their prestige, those ministers might not necessarily accuse him of any crime in private.

These ministers picked up the evidence and passed it on one by one, but they were all silent after that.

These ministers are not fools.No matter whether the evidence is true or not, now that Dou Wu and Chen Fan have all been killed, it is considered dead without proof.Now the emperor and those eunuchs are the winners, say what you want.

Liu Hong also knew that although these evidences were true, some people would not believe them.They can find countless reasons to explain that these things were forged by others, and they were framed.

Liu Hong didn't make a plan to make everyone believe it, and he made arrangements as soon as he came back yesterday.His newspaper will have a special issue, and the full text of these two pieces of evidence will be printed on it, so that most people will know what the facts are.

After showing the evidence, Liu Hong didn't do anything.He knew that no matter whether these ministers believed it or not, all the ministers must be in panic after such a big incident happened just now.

Although now is the best time to deal with these ministers.But now many people and things have not been straightened out. Liu Hong feels that it is not suitable for him to make big moves immediately.

So Liu Hong didn't pay attention to those guilty ministers, but directed the eunuchs to tear down the curtain used to cover the Queen Mother when she was in charge of the government.It seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be saying to those ministers, "I have wanted to dismantle this useless thing for a long time, but today I have a chance! In the future, the Han Dynasty will be the head of the family. Never use this thing again."

Liu Hong is going to announce that from now on, he will be the master of the house, and let these ministers recognize the facts and take refuge in them.Otherwise, after he made a move, it would be too late to say anything.

But there are some people who are so closed-eyed, and when Liu Hong is in high spirits, they have to come out and sing an anti-tune to Liu Hong.Liu Honggang said that after he became the head of the house, he would no longer need curtains.But at this time, Zongzheng Liu Chong spoke out, asking Liu Hong to make Mrs. Dong, a nobleman in Shenyuan, the queen of Xiaoren, and listen to the government behind the curtain.

Mrs. Dong is Liu Hong's biological mother for the rest of her life, so she should be named Empress Xiaoren.In history, she also had this title, and Liu Hong has no objection.But what does it mean to ask Mrs. Dong to listen to the government behind the curtain? Isn't it obvious that you can't trust him?And after he had clearly stated his position, he immediately made this suggestion. Isn't this purely to make Liu Hong feel uncomfortable?

Looking at this Liu Chong, Liu Hong remembered that before he ascended the throne, this guy had punished him and recommended Liu Kuan's son Liu Song to ascend the throne, which almost caused Liu Hong great trouble.Before Liu Hong had time to settle the score with him, he jumped out again now, and he was still fighting against Liu Hong. If Liu Hong didn't deal with him, he would be sorry for the power he just got.

"The honorable person of Fengshen Garden is Empress Xiaoren, I agree. But I want to ask Zongzheng, why did you propose that Empress Xiaoren listen to the government behind the curtain?"

"Your Majesty, you are still young and have not considered many things carefully. Someone should check on you. Besides, this is also the usual practice."

"How to check it? Do you want to create another Dou Wu to rebel? It's still a practice. Tell me how many foreign relatives who are chaotic behind this practice!"

Hearing this, Liu Chong didn't dare to speak anymore, but Liu Hong didn't want to let him go.

"If it wasn't for the Empress Dowager Dou to listen to the government behind a curtain, Dou Wu holds great power, and wants to maintain such power forever, how could he come out to rebel? Now, you want to get someone to listen to the government behind the curtain, what are you so worried about?"

"Your Majesty, the humble minister is loyal to the big man!"

Liu Chong felt that he was really wronged. It was Zongzheng's duty to propose to the queen mother to listen to the government behind the curtain, so he proposed it according to the usual practice. He never thought that Liu Hong would be anxious because of this.

"You are so loyal to the big man, why can't I see it? Judging from your behavior, you are not a royal family leader at all, but the patriarch of your relatives! Everything is considered for your relatives!"

Hearing this, Liu Chong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, yelling that he only wanted to be a big man.

"People like you are not only unworthy of being the Zongzheng of the royal family, but they are not even worthy of being a clan member of the Han Dynasty." Having said this, Liu Hong said to Ting Wei: "Now I have removed Liu Chong from the position of Zongzheng. , deprive him of his status as a Han family clan member, and remove him from the genealogy. You Tingwei Manor, please check for me, how much benefit he has received from his relatives, and why he speaks for his relatives like this."

Several ministers who had a good relationship with Liu Chong wanted to intercede for Liu Chong.But Liu Hong is now in a fit of anger, and has linked Liu Chong's affairs with his rebellious relatives again. They are all afraid of getting burned, and instead of saving Liu Chong, they will get involved with themselves.Therefore, they all wanted to wait for Liu Hong to calm down before trying to find a solution.

No one interceded for him, so Liu Chong was taken down as a guard.All the ministers looked at Liu Chong who was dragged away, no one felt sorry for him, everyone thought he asked for it.At such a moment, if you come out to contradict Liu Hong, don't you feel uncomfortable? Who can you blame when you end up like this?

This guy Liu Chong, even if Liu Hong came to power, he used it as a warning to monkeys, and now it seems that the effect is good.

Then Liu Hong appointed Liu Shu as Lu Shang Shushi, becoming the de facto prime minister, in charge of everything big and small.Afterwards, he changed the time of the morning court from the turn of Yinmao to the turn of Chensi, that is, from five o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the morning, which was considered to have fulfilled his long-cherished wish.This is not enough, he also reduced the morning court to twice a month, only after the first day and the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, under the strange eyes of all the ministers, Liu Hong left the court in satisfaction.
