thank you + extra

"Your Majesty is ill. You should be the prophet to see me. How can you ask Mr. Xie first? Although Mr. Xie is a capable minister, he is a foreign minister after all. Your Majesty and I are close relatives, and there is nothing that cannot be said. I know that Your Majesty has something for me. Confused, I think someone said something that caused His Majesty to misunderstand. It doesn't matter, as time passes, you can always see through people's hearts."

The words of fist and fist are very touching.Liu Zao, however, engraved her words into her mind every single word, carefully smacking the meaning of her words.

"I'm already the empress dowager. I have nothing to ask for. Why bother to harm you? Your Majesty..." The empress dowager looked at the emperor, sighed, stopped talking, and walked away.

Liu Zao raised his sleeves and bowed down until the Empress Dowager stepped down from the high platform. Fang straightened up, looked at the back of the Empress Dowager, and frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

After all, it was already autumn, the autumn wind was blowing up, and the coolness soaked into the body, Liu Zao felt a little pain in his abdomen, and a little stuffy.Several eunuchs rushed over with dozens of bamboo slips in their hands.When I got to the high platform, I realized that the emperor was here, and I quickly knelt down to salute.

Liu Zao lowered his gaze and landed on them, slightly bent his lips, and said, "Excuse me."

Chunhe was behind her, seeing her voice, Fang stepped forward and said: "It's windy outside, your Majesty, go into the palace."

Liu Zao nodded and walked back to the hall.

Re-entering the palace, but not as optimistic and positive as when I came here just now.

She couldn't help but look at the hall.

The main hall is paved with floors, and when entering the hall, people take off their shoes at the door and enter with cloth socks, so there is a maid serving in front of the door.The main hall is spacious enough to accommodate a hundred people, and the two rows of pillars support the hall beams, which is very magnificent.Looking at those pillars, Liu Zao thought of a story she heard when she was young, about Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin.

When Jing Ke entered Qin, he saw him with a dagger. Seeing that something was wrong, the King of Qin raised the case and ran around the pillars to avoid Jing Ke's pursuit.

King Qin's main hall should be as wide and magnificent as the Xuan room, with so many pillars, only then can the two of them chase and run in the hall.

Liu Zao walked to the imperial case and sat down, and immediately had a clear view of the situation in the hall.Only then did she feel strange.The house she used to live in was very small, far less solemn than the Xuanshi Hall, much less gorgeous than the Chengming Hall.

Liu Zao breathed a sigh of relief, pulled himself together, and thought about the meaning of what the Empress Dowager said just now.

The Empress Dowager seemed to come here to explain the inappropriateness of Xie Xiang, but before she left, those words seemed to be sad because of the estrangement between them.

Liu Zao didn't really believe it. She was indeed the queen mother, but she might not have nothing more to ask for.If she wanted nothing but the position of Empress Dowager, why would she conspire with Prime Minister Xie to abolish King Changyi?The king of Changyi is in power, and she is also the queen mother.

What surprised Liu Zao even more was that the Empress Dowager lived separately from her in the Second Palace, but what happened in Weiyang Palace was clear to the Empress Dowager in Changle Palace in just one morning.

Chapter 17 Puppet

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, the Great Dynasty is only held once on the first and second days of each month.Ministers need to have a "door registration" when entering and leaving the palace, and the door registration contains their names and appearances.Those who have no family status are not allowed to enter the palace gate without permission.

During Emperor Jing's reign, Dou Ying, the Marquis of Wei, offended Empress Dowager Dou, who ordered him to be expelled from the family, but he was not allowed to enter the palace again.

Outside of the Great Dynasty, the ministers went to work separately, and when they had something to play, they could also enter the Forbidden Garden to play.Emperor Wu was diligent, and when he was in power, the courtiers in the palace came and went, and there were constant discussions; like Emperor Hui in the early Han Dynasty, the government fell into the hands of his mother Empress Lu, and the ministers might not see Emperor Hui for several months.

Liu Zao thought about being diligent, but she found that it was not easy for the emperor to be diligent.

The eunuch put the bamboo slips on the desk, Liu Zao looked down, the bamboo slips were a little yellow, obviously it had been placed for a long time, it was not a fresh report.Liu Zao turned over a few volumes, only to realize that they were all works of various schools of thought, not government documents.She was stunned for a moment, and asked, "These bamboo slips were given by Doctor Yushi?"

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and also used the Sangong Jiuqing system.

The Sangong Jiuqing system was formulated by Li Si for Qin Shihuang.Sangong refers to Taiwei, Prime Minister, and Doctor Yushi.Taiwei was in charge of military affairs. During Emperor Wu's reign, Taiwei was changed to Da Sima, and most of them were concurrently held by generals.The prime minister is in charge of government affairs and commands all officials.The imperial censor is in charge of the ministers' memorials, supervises the officials, and issues the emperor's edict.

Liu Zao wanted to see the memorials of all officials, so he asked the doctor Yushi for it.However, what they got were some ancient books, which had nothing to do with the government.

The eunuch sent to ask for the documents replied: "It's all given by the doctor Yushi."

Liu Zao was silent, she thought that the ministers might prevaricate with old copybooks.She doesn't know anything about government affairs, even old copybooks, she can learn a lot, as long as she gets them, it will be fine, but she didn't expect that Doctor Yushi would directly refuse.

Yang Chang, the doctor of the censor, was the old man who saw Qing Yupei crying for Emperor Wu on the day that King Changyi abdicated.That day he was the first minister to propose another monarch, and he was also the first minister who cried bitterly after she took out the herring pendant, concluded that it belonged to Emperor Wu, and firmly believed in her identity.

Judging from the situation at that time, Yang Chang seemed to be a pure minister, he did not please others, and acted impartially in everything.Today, it seems that is not the case.He also has selfishness.

Liu Zao casually picked up a roll of bamboo slips, put them in front of him, and unfolded them.The writing on the letter was written in Xiaozhuan.She changed several volumes in succession, all of them were Xiaozhuan.

Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, implemented "books with the same text, cars with the same track", and unified weights and measures.Xiaozhuan was promoted to the Six Kingdoms at that time and became the official language.Xiaozhuan characters are beautiful in shape and strange in form. They are very popular among scholars, but they are also criticized because they are complicated and difficult to write and difficult to learn.

After the death of Qin II, the Great Han established the Dingding, and gradually used the official script. The official script was smaller and more concise. Liu Zao knew how to read, and he learned the official script.Right now, she is having a lot of trouble reading the small seal characters used in the bamboo slips, and she has to rely on the shape of the characters to guess the meaning of many complicated characters.

Her complexion became more and more gloomy, firstly the documents were not obtained, and then Xiaozhuan came to embarrass her.No matter how good the temper is, it is inevitable to be anxious.

Chun and his attendants stood by, showing a little panic, paying attention to the movements of the little emperor, wondering how to persuade His Majesty if he gets angry.After a few breaths, the little emperor's frowning brows loosened little by little, her eyes also calmed down, one hand rested on the bamboo slips, and the other supported her chin, as if she was concentrating on reading the slips.

Chunhe spent most of his life in the palace. He is considered the king of Changyi. This is the fourth king he served. , Restraining anger, very human.

Liu Zao indeed restrained his temper.

She was naturally angry that Dr. Yushi was so perfunctory, but she thought again, whether someone instructed him to act like this, or he did it on purpose.If the former, who instigated it?Doctor Yu Shi ranks among the three princes, how many people can instruct and move him in the court?If the latter, what does he intend to do?

She couldn't think of what Doctor Yu Shi wanted to do, but she could guess who could instruct him, nothing more than the queen mother, the general and the prime minister.The general was defeated in supporting the king of Changyi, so how could he have the courage to test the new king?Presumably not him.Who are the empress dowager and the prime minister?

She has seen both of them today.The appearance of the prime minister appeared in Liu Zao's mind, and she felt a little annoyed.After the Great Dynasty, Xie Xiang went straight into the Chengming Palace, and went straight to the king's bed. It was very rude. The palace people never stopped her, but they were afraid of her power?

While Liu Zao was thinking, she stared at the bamboo slips. After reading for a long time, she only recognized the word "Analects of Confucius", which was actually a Confucian classic.As the sky darkened, two more lamps were added to the hall.

Liu Zao became dissatisfied with Xie Yi.But at this time, the pain in the abdomen started again, and a palace man entered, holding an ear cup, which was filled with pitch-black concoction, which smelled very pungent.This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

Liu Zao took it and drank it all in one gulp, her mouth was full of soreness and bitterness, she hurriedly drank water to rinse her mouth again, after a long time, the smell of medicine in her mouth faded away.

The palace attendant thought he was a cheerful person, took the earcup and said with a smile: "Your Majesty will be able to recover after taking the medicine."

When Liu Zao heard that her body had been recuperated, the irritability that had just arisen disappeared miraculously. Xie Xiang also said the same thing to her, and her tone of concern at that time warmed her heart.

A light flashed in his mind, and Liu Zao immediately understood why the Queen Mother came.

She specifically pointed out that it was inappropriate for Prime Minister Xie to go straight into the Chengming Hall, not to explain to Prime Minister Xie, but to remind her that Prime Minister Xie had no eyes on the emperor, and dared to trespass into the emperor's bedroom.

Xie Xiang was originally in the empress dowager's camp, and they supported her to proclaim the emperor together, but now the empress dowager came to separate her, so it can be seen that Xie Xiang's faction must have gained a lot of power, which made the empress dowager afraid.

Liu Zao thought a little too much, but his mind was in a mess and he couldn't make it out.Stomach pain again.She had no choice but to gather her mind, leave the announcement room, and go back to Chengming.

She didn't want people to know, so she only called Xie Xiang to come, until the abdominal pain was so severe that she had to call a medical officer, and then she knew that this matter could not be hidden from anyone.

Fortunately, the palace people were all the same, and they all regarded it as ignorance.

Liu Zao used to feed and rested early.

There was no court meeting the next day, and no ministers had an audience, so it was very idle.Liu Zao went to Xuanshi Hall as usual.This time, she didn't send her eunuchs to ask for documents, she just found some bamboo slips to read.
