thank you + extra

"Because of Xie Yi." Liu He said indignantly, "This rebellious minister has joined the Queen Mother's camp, and the Queen Mother has strong support. If she wants to stand up, she will naturally throw me off the throne."

It turned out to be like this.Liu Zao was puzzled again, it was only two months since the death of the late emperor, why did Xie Yi change his position in this short two months?Could it be that the queen mother promised her enough benefits?

Liu Zao shook her head secretly, she had met Prime Minister Xie, and although she didn't speak much and got along with her not long ago, she already had an intuition that Prime Minister Xie was not someone who could be easily wooed, not to mention if the Empress Dowager really had the bargaining chip to impress Prime Minister Xie, how could she It will not be shown at the beginning, but will be brought out when the king of Changyi enters the capital and becomes the emperor.

You must know that it is much more difficult to dethrone the emperor and install others than to support the new emperor at the beginning.

While Liu Zao was thinking, he did not forget Liu He, and kept an eye on his movements.

Liu He was angry for a while, then he calmed down, and he looked excited again, and asked, "Do you know why I want you to know this?"

After a few words, he knew Liu Zao's dull temper, and he didn't expect her to answer, so he continued: "Because whether you know it or not, it doesn't affect the overall situation. It's not up to you to decide who will be the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It's not up to me to decide. It's decided by those ministers who have always talked about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. They want to seek benefits, they want to support the clan close to them to become emperor, and it is best to turn the new emperor into a puppet. They are at the mercy of others. After all, they are all cunning traitors."

His eyes were full of mischief: "It's fine for the empress dowager to fight with the general. After all, at that time, the emperor suddenly collapsed and the court was at a loss. A new emperor is always needed, so there is no need to be too harsh on the empress dowager."

When he said that there is no need to criticize the Queen Mother too harshly, there was a trace of sarcasm on his face.

"However, right now, the throne has been confirmed, and the situation in the court has stabilized. All the officials should work together to assist me in governing the world. But Xie Yi, as a minister, planned to abolish the establishment for his own selfishness."

"She is the biggest traitor!"

Liu He was able to maintain a calm tone at first, but when it came to Xie Yi, he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart anymore, he obviously hated Xie Yi to the core.

Liu Zao couldn't help laughing.

Chapter 5 Puppet

Although His Majesty is older than her, his character of laughing when he is happy and angry when he is angry is really as direct as a child.

However, Liu He was irritated by her smile, with anger in his eyes, he said viciously: "What are you laughing at? Do you think that with Xie Yi's help, you can achieve great things? What a joke!"

He waved his wide robe sleeves, stared at Liu Zao, and said word by word: "Unless your uncle Changping Hou Weiqing is still alive, no one will be able to help you to the throne! Not the Queen Mother, nor Xie Yi." !"

Liu Zao was startled by his sudden anger, subconsciously took a small step back.

Seeing this, Liu He smiled with satisfaction.But Liu Zao noticed that when he was angry just now, the attendants standing in the palace looked tense.This is very strange, the emperor is so self-willed, laughter and rage should be common, and the servants who serve him will not be so nervous when he is angry.

Liu He let out a long breath, stood up, and approached Liu Zao.Liu Zao took precautions and did not retreat this time.The emperor was taller and stronger than her, and when he got close to her, he felt quite oppressive.

Liu Zao raised her head to look at him, her peripheral vision caught sight of those attendants, they showed more nervous expressions, as if they were about to pounce on him in the next moment.Just like the second day she came here, when she wanted to go out of the courtyard door, an eunuch knelt in front of her to stop her, and the other three palace servants were watching not far away. If she insisted on going out, she would Will immediately rush to dissuade.

Liu Zao understood that to the emperor, she was the courtyard gate.The emperor didn't get close to her, and no one would persuade him no matter how angry he was, but once he wanted to attack her, his attendants would not sit idly by.

Liu Zao wasn't afraid of the emperor at all, but after seeing it through, some things hurt him.The emperor is a puppet just like her, but her cage is this small palace, while the emperor's is bigger and can walk between the two palaces.

Liu He still didn't know it, and still flaunted his power. He squinted at Liu Zao contemptuously with the corners of his eyes raised, and said, "But they brought you into the palace, but they reminded me that they will get rid of you. Empress Lu proclaimed emperor and established rules. The princess of the family can also win the world, and women can also enter the official career. You are the daughter of Prince Wei, and Prince Wei is a rebellious person. I hate Emperor Wu for being soft-hearted, but he did not abolish him. In this way, in terms of etiquette, you are the direct blood of Emperor Wu , the late emperor is no match for you. But it doesn’t matter, the dead can’t make waves, if I kill you, there will be no more troubles!”

Liu Zao disagreed, she endured it, and said, "Not necessarily. Prince Wei passed away early, but after he passed away, the turmoil caused by him not only did not subside, but intensified."

The Emperor Wu's family punished the minister who framed the prince, built a uterus for the prince, raised the prince's orphan in Yeting, and recorded it in the genealogy.These are all things that happened after the death of Prince Wei.Even she, because she is the orphan of Prince Wei, will be abandoned outside the palace and ignored for many years, and because Prince Wei is her biological father, she will be brought into the palace at this time as a bargaining chip for the empress dowager and ministers to fight for power.

Death is not the end.

"What do you know? Those troubles are caused by Emperor Wu, what does it have to do with Prince Wei?" Liu He sneered, "Even now, those who make troubles are living people, and dead people are just a name."

Liu Zao thought for a while, but did not refute this time. She felt that what the emperor said made some sense.

She didn't speak again, as if she was persuaded.Liu He smiled and looked at her with squinted eyes. She spoke little and was thin. She looked immature and weak, really like a young goat who fell into the wolf's den of Changle Palace.

it's a pity.

Liu He took another step forward, until Liu Zao was in front of him.Liu Zao looked at him, her eyes were very calm, neither fear nor resentment, nor confusion, just looking back at him calmly.

Also quite backbone.Liu He felt even more regretful.He leaned close to Liu Zao's ear, his voice lowered like a hissing poisonous snake: "You could have lived a safe life outside the palace, but the queen mother brought you into the palace. I will kill you with my own hands and cut the flesh from your body one by one. Cut it off, make you die of pain, and then throw your body into the forest to feed the wild beasts, so that there is nothing left of your bones. If the spirit of Prince Wei knows it, it will never rest in peace."

He spoke very softly, only Liu Zao heard it.Liu Zao turned his head, Liu He's gloomy eyes were right in front of him, he showed a vicious smile, and took two steps back.

The attendant stepped forward in a panic and persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, go back to Weiyang Palace."

Liu He let out a "hum", but he didn't get angry. He raised his hand and put it on the jade sword hanging at his waist, and strode out.

Many attendants in the hall receded like flowing water.

The courtyard door slammed shut.

It was a bit chilly in the morning, with a breeze blowing into the room, Liu Zao shivered, she suddenly felt that the purpose of the emperor's visit was to say the last words to her.If the empress dowager and the prime minister were defeated, she would be reduced to such a state that she would not even be able to keep a whole body.

The four palace people regained their freedom, supported each other, and stood up. Hu Ao pulled the purse out of his mouth, and before he had time to rub his sore cheeks, he looked at Liu Zao in horror.

The expressions of the other three people were also similar to his, and they all looked at Liu Zao in horror, and there was a little awe in the horror, which was different from the awe they were afraid of being implicated by her before, and the awe at this time was for her.

Liu Zao knew that it was because of the emperor's outspoken words, she entered the palace to fight for the throne, if they win, they will serve the emperor, and they should be respectful to serve the emperor.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Zao's heart moved, she wanted to subdue these four people at first, but His Majesty threatened her, although it was shocking, it was not without benefits.

She was about to speak, but Hu Ao quickly restrained his expression, stepped forward and said: "The emperor is at ease, what your majesty has done is absurd, and the queen mother will surely hear about it soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the remaining three palace servants also seemed to be stunned, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Liu Zao.

Liu Zao looked at them darkly, and pursed his lips. They knew that she might be expected to become emperor, so they were in awe of her, but they were even more afraid of the Queen Mother.

The great man ruled the world with filial piety, and Emperor Wu was so powerful, he had to hold back his ambitions until the empress dowager died, let alone the little grandson in front of him.Even if she had that day, she would still have no power and power, and most of the time she would still obey the Queen Mother in everything.

So, why switch to the emperor's grandson?It is more appropriate to still follow the Queen Mother's order.

All the four palace people bowed their heads and said nothing. They said nothing and said everything.Liu Zao was a little disappointed and was about to sit down when the courtyard door opened again.

The one who came in this time was the Zhonghuang Gate that he had seen the night he entered the palace.

Zhonghuangmen led several eunuchs to stride forward, met Liu Zao, and bowed politely: "Servant pays homage to the emperor's grandson."

He didn't get up immediately, but knelt on the ground, which was far from the perfunctory way when he entered the palace.
