The identity of my tenth emperor was exposed, and the aura recovered

Chapter 136 The power struggle between mother and child
After hearing the conversation between Liu Che and Wei Zifu, the audience in front of the screen instantly knew that in the heart of Emperor Liu Che, he had already believed the words of the Empress Dowager—even if he still had doubts, at least in the "big "Direction", Liu Che must have become wary of his mother!
Just as the audience in front of the screen was guessing, Liu Che's mother on the screen didn't want Liu Che to verify it herself. She had already begun to reveal her true nature.

Liu Che received the news that his mother not only refused everyone's visit, including Queen Gillian and her mother, but even began to intervene in the government affairs. For a while, because of his status as the queen mother, countless The court ministers began to move closer to the empress dowager and Tian Fu.

Then, the screen changed, and Liu Che, who came to the deceased empress dowager's bedroom, saw his mother playing with the caged bird left by the old lady.

Seeing this scene, Liu Che couldn't help but said: "If mother lets it go, she will kill it!"

Looking at his mother who was pretending to be in a daze, Liu Che couldn't help but chuckled and continued to say, "Don't you know that this bird was blinded with a needle when grandma adopted it, and it is now I can't leave this cage anymore!"

After teasing the blind bird in the cage, Liu Che asked directly, "Isn't mother even willing to let it go?"

After hearing Liu Che's words, the Empress Dowager's complexion immediately turned cold: "What do you mean by that?"

Then, without concealing it, his mother, the Empress Dowager, said proudly: "Now the East Palace (Note: The East Palace in the Han Dynasty is not a special name for the prince's residence) is mine, and it is no longer the old lady's world. !"

Liu Che responded bluntly to what his mother said, "Got it!"

Then, Liu Che asked curiously: "I heard that mother is going to move into this East Palace?"

"Yes!" The Empress Dowager replied without hesitation, "So, shouldn't I just come and see the house I'm going to live in today?"

The empress dowager looked at the house that had been "occupied" by the empress dowager for many years, and said with emotion: "This man is just like that bird, but it was moved by this cage. It’s all about being in that cage, thinking that I’m not bound anymore, but actually, look, if I move in… can I be free?”

As he said that, the empress dowager, who became more and more arrogant, directly intervened in the government in front of Liu Che and said, "Hey, mother just wanted to ask you, who are you going to appoint as the prime minister?"

Listening to his mother's words, and thinking about what the old lady said before she died, the emperor Liu Che felt cold - he didn't want to doubt his mother, and even, in order to try to believe in his mother, Liu Che didn't How to investigate the matter between Brother Rong and Concubine Li, even though he already believed the truth that the old lady said!

However, Liu Che couldn't help being chilled by his mother's eagerness to take over the power now—this is his mother, could it be that, in the face of power, his mother even wanted to contain his own child? Son... to the point of holding back his biological son?

At this moment, Liu Che couldn't help but think of the old lady's words before she died -- so, all of this was predicted by the old lady?

Liu Che tried his best to endure the sadness in his heart, and then asked his mother in a nonchalant manner, "Change now? Isn't it a little too eager?"

"Urgent?" The empress dowager, after being slightly stunned, coaxed Liu Che like a three-year-old child, "Didn't you look forward to this day a long time ago? After all, the one sitting on the prime minister's seat now The position was arranged by the old lady back then, and now that the old lady has gone, those people don't have the old lady to rely on, so naturally they have to move their positions..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Che directly interrupted his mother's speech and said: "Although I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, my son hasn't figured out who should take over the position of prime minister..."

Liu Che's original idea was to shirk this matter for a period of time in advance, and after he had arranged everything, wouldn't he be the prime minister?
It's just that the Empress Dowager has obviously thought of what Liu Che is planning...Of course, it is also possible that the Empress Dowager can't wait to take power. Therefore, almost immediately after Liu Che finished speaking, the Empress Dowager directly answered the question. He said: "You are still young, and the palace is full of entanglements and dangers. How can you figure it out at once? Let alone you, even my mother may not—since the emperor has never figured it out, then my mother will do it for you." Recommend someone... oh no, recommend a group of reliable people to replace you..."

"Be the emperor for me?" Liu Che, who couldn't bear it anymore, immediately turned back to look at his mother and said unceremoniously.

Regarding Liu Che's outburst, for a while, his mother, the Empress Dowager, couldn't help but slow down her tone - she knew that she had pushed too fast, so that Liu Che had already become rebellious!
"Hey, the list of auxiliary officials carefully selected by mother for you... You can see it clearly!" Although Liu Che's mother's voice has slowed down, Liu Che's mother has no doubts about the power that should be held in her hands. But there was no soft-heartedness at all, "Your uncle Tian Fu is the prime minister... he is the most suitable candidate!"

As she spoke, Liu Che's mother held up the list in her hand in front of Liu Che.

Facing the hand extended by his mother, Liu Che unceremoniously shook it away, and at the same time distanced himself from his mother, and then asked very rudely: "Mother, we are talking about this here now... ...you really don't think it's too early?"

"Then... if we don't talk about this, what else are we going to talk about?" Liu Che's mother's ruthless words made Liu Che's heart full of holes...in an instant it became even more broken...

Knowing that the matter of arranging officials would not be able to get rid of his mother's entanglement easily today, Liu Che immediately used his trump card: "What do you want to talk about? If that's the case... then let's talk about Brother Liu Rong and Concubine Li?"

"What's the matter?" Hearing Liu Che's question, although the audience in front of the screen couldn't detect anything from the empress dowager's facial expressions, everyone could easily find that at least, the current empress dowager is no longer the empress dowager. Obsessed with that appointment list.

At this time, Liu Che, who had also discovered his mother's abnormality, immediately took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "Answer me! Answer me! Answer me!"

At this moment, Liu Che himself didn't know whether the real reason for questioning his mother was because he wanted to get rid of his mother's restraint...or he really felt guilty for the death of brother Liu Rong and Concubine Li—after all Well, it was his biological mother who killed the two of them!

For so many years... especially since he has been sitting on the throne for so many years, he has already experienced great ups and downs, and he is no longer the "Liu Rong's younger brother" who was distraught when he heard the news of Liu Rong's death. However, a few days ago A few days later, when he suddenly heard the truth of what happened back then from the Empress Dowager, Liu Che really didn't know how he should face his mother!

What his mother did back then, Liu Che now can understand. At the same time, the death of Brother Liu Rong and Concubine Li, although I still feel pain because of it, but more, it is the disillusionment of my mother's image in my heart ...

After all, such a gentle and kind mother in my impression has been comforting my mother all these years when I was suppressed by the empress dowager... When her true face is exposed, especially when she now wants to emulate her original When the empress dowager restrained him... Liu Che no longer knew what his mother was like!

Just when Liu Che was wandering in his thoughts, the slightly cold words of the empress dowager instantly recalled Liu Che's will: "What do you want me to answer you? Your majesty, what my mother has done is not enough. Is it all for you?"

Hearing these words, the last remaining light in Liu Che's eyes was completely extinguished.

The empress dowager looked at Liu Che's eyes that seemed to be able to absorb all the light, and couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Immediately, the empress dowager, who knew her tone was wrong, quickly put on a warm face: "Sigh, mother What I did...all for you...all for you, 彘er!"

Liu Che just stared blankly at his mother's pretentious gesture, and then strode away without looking back.

Looking at the back of Liu Che leaving, the empress dowager really panicked—she, who has not yet placed her own people on a large scale in the court, if she "let off" Liu Che today, then... the consequences Simply unimaginable!
then……

"Hey! Your Majesty! My child! My son..."

One after another, titles came out of the Empress Dowager's mouth, trying to win back Liu Che's heart.

Then, as if living up to everyone's expectations, Liu Che stopped his footsteps just as he was about to step out of the door.

After witnessing this scene, the Empress Dowager immediately called her son Liu Che more affectionately and said, "Hey! My son..."

Liu Che turned around slowly, but his face and expression did not have the warmth that the empress dowager expected, and some... only the bone-chilling coldness!

"Tomorrow's court meeting, I will issue an edict...Tian Fu will be the prime minister!"

After Liu Che finished speaking, he turned around and stepped out of the gate of this palace with a flick of his sleeves...and never looked back!
As for the appointment list of officials prepared by the Empress Dowager, Liu Che naturally did not mention a single word - obviously, Liu Che only planned to appoint Tian Fu as the prime minister on the list of appointments of officials by the Empress Dowager, and his other personnel list Well...then only God knows!
…………

At the same time, when the audience in front of the screen saw this, they couldn't help discussing in the barrage room.

"To be honest, Liu Che's move is really brilliant. He only appointed his uncle Tian Fu as the prime minister—although the prime minister's position is very high, but the prime minister without a single official attached to him is just a rootless tree after all. It’s nothing more than water without a source, what can a polished commander... do?”

"Having said that... but the position of prime minister is inherently high and powerful, coupled with Tian Fu's status-the younger brother of the empress dowager, it will naturally attract some officials who want to take advantage of it, and once they get those officials With Tian Fu under his command, he will naturally be able to "become good" as the prime minister... Although the process is inevitably tortuous, but Liu Che wants to completely restrain his uncle Tian Fu's authority, I am afraid it will not be easy thing!"

"The one upstairs is wrong. Now that Liu Che is in power, if Liu Che wants to do something, there are ways to reasonably weaken the authority of his uncle Tian Fu. He just needs to express his attitude to the minister... and he doesn't even need to express it completely. , as long as there is a slight hint, I don't believe it, there will really be officials who will be determined to go against Liu Che's will now!"

"From this point of view... Tian Fu's position as prime minister is really just a decoration? As long as Liu Che wants to, he can directly dismiss Tian Fu's position anytime and anywhere!"

"I thought, for the current Liu Che, it might be more suitable for Liu Che to set up a prime minister. After all, without the constraints of the prime minister, Liu Che's power as emperor will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!"

"By the way, have you noticed? In this past life memory of Dongfang Contestant, there actually appeared the classic phrase 'for you'--I see these three words now, and I feel restless in my heart. Sometimes I really want to Ask, is what my parents said 'for me'... really what I want?"

"How do you say this kind of thing? Each has its own reasons! One is based on practical considerations, and the other is based on ideal considerations. Sometimes, if the ideal fails for a while, it may be compromised for the sake of reality. After all, if you can’t even afford to eat, what’s the use of ideals? But what about after a compromise? When you look back on the past when you are about to finish your life in the midst of hard work, don’t you really have any regrets in your heart? "

"In my opinion, if you can't even afford food, you can only compromise with reality. After all, as the above said, if you can't afford food, what is the use of ideals? Ideals are after solving food and clothing It is something that needs to be considered, but if the problem of food and clothing has been solved, then it is not a bad idea to stick to your ideal... Isn't it? Maybe... You are only one step away from your ideal? Just a kick in the door Withdrawing your feet...how unfortunate is that?"

"In addition... Now it seems that the death of Concubine Li...was really caused by Liu Che's mother, the Queen Wang, and the current Empress Dowager?"

"It's so funny that there were people who were cleaning the floor for Liu Che's mother back then. They even analyzed a lot and thought that Liu Che's mother would not be so unwise as to do something to the imprisoned Concubine Li. But in reality? Really It’s what Liu Che’s mother did to Concubine Li!”

"I can only say... Liu Che's mother really hid it too deeply back then!"

"Nonsense, if you don't hide it deeply, can a woman who has a husband outside climb up to the position of empress dowager step by step in the Han court?"
