In the same boat with the son

It's late autumn, the sky is getting darker and the cold air is getting stronger, Emperor Huan's coughing and panting can be heard from the Chongde Hall, he is very exhausted.At first I thought it was just a minor ailment, but it dragged on and never got better, and my health went from bad to worse.In the past, although Emperor Huan was not in good health, he was not so sick at such an age. He was always drowsy and lethargic. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it seemed that something was wrong.

Maybe it's not illness, but poisoning, Emperor Huan once suspected that.Having stayed in the deep palace for nearly 20 years, I have never seen any ups and downs in life. Poisoning is a common occurrence.Thinking back to those women who were pregnant before, the little princes who were lucky enough to be born but failed to survive, either unknowingly, or horribly, the lives that were sent away by poison are not remembered clearly.At the beginning, Empress Liang and Deng Meng's daughter were exposed to rain and dew, but they couldn't conceive a dragon species. Emperor Huan knew the reason very well.

Therefore, Emperor Huan had always been careful, and he had always dealt with trustworthy people for food and clothing. If someone really tried to poison him, it would be difficult not to reveal clues through the cumbersome checkpoints.Although he had doubts in his heart, Emperor Huan always felt that the possibility was very small.Thinking of the past emperors who died at a young age, maybe it was just because of fate.

It is only now that the situation is gradually grasped. Even though the aristocratic family still thinks highly of themselves, Emperor Huan's personal imperial power has been accumulated for many years. Whether it is a palace fight or a response to natural or man-made disasters, he needs to win over capable ministers. Therefore, in the conflict between eunuchs and powerful ministers, Emperor Huan could be the balance point between the scales of the day, and stabilize the increasingly heavier weights at both ends.Because of this, Emperor Huan took Zhang Rang back from Chang'an to Luoyang, the capital, and no one's finger-pointing and self-criticism had enough energy to interfere.

Originally, I thought that I would no longer have to endure the displacement of personnel, but I didn't want to escape the toss of fate.Lingering sick for a long time, I have been powerless to the so-called management and strategy of life, I can't help but think more about those past events.Along the way, it can be said that he was careless and followed the steps, or he was good at dancing with his sleeves, or he worked hard, ten years as one day, one day for ten years, hiding people's eyes and ears in the deep palace, forbearing and gaining power among the powerful, and struggling in the displacement of the people due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. Blood, so what if it turns upside down?In the end, it can't match the so-called fate and fortune, no matter how hard you try, it's just a little bit to turn the tide.

For him, Mingjun’s thirst for talents has become a joke of sages avoiding the world, and Emperor Wu’s lingering sentimentality has become for him to favor and trust traitors, creating the disaster of destroying the world. Population expansion has accumulated evils for many generations. It's just fatuous and incompetent, so what's the point?

From late autumn to snowy winter, Emperor Huan stayed sick for a long time, and he knew that his days were numbered.Although Zhang Rang would comfort him every day, the little maids or eunuchs around him were always apprehensive or apprehensive. Every day, the yellow sunset afterglow sprinkled on the bed curtain, and I always felt a kind of sadness from the sunset that was about to fall. Decaying, lonely forever in this life.The feeling of the end is so obvious that many things that have been pursued and painstakingly worked out suddenly become meaningless; many things that have been tolerated, compromised, lost and missed are the ones that are too painful to regret.

He knew that Zhang Rang's worries and sorrows were so real, and he also knew that he was always so incomprehensible, with a kind of crazy stubbornness; some things, pushed away a long time ago, can no longer be kept.The bottom of his heart, at the last moment, seemed to become a bright mirror. Even if he did anything, there was no trace of resentment in his heart, and he would not believe it or erase it. Even if he did anything in the future, He also wants to keep his life safe.In the end, he just wanted to keep such a willful wish; even if he was guilty of the past, it had nothing to do with him, he only had this innocent, pure and cruel wish left in his heart.I have endured too much, missed too much, maybe I have already got it, but in the end it seems that I have never owned it. In this case, it is better to do what I want!

In the winter of the first year of Yongkang, Emperor Huan died.The news came so suddenly that the balance that had been carefully maintained suddenly collapsed.There were no signs. Although Emperor Huan's body was already not very good due to excessive thinking, he was not only in his 30s, and he drove west at a young age.Everyone in the court doubted Dou, but no one knew the inside story. Now the situation is on thin ice, and no one dares to speculate out of thin air. How can ordinary people bear the consequences.

Zhang Rang knelt down before Emperor Huan collapsed, feeling an unspeakable emptiness in his heart.There was still the temperature of Emperor Huan's dying hand on his face, and his eyes clearly knew everything, but there was no resentment, just a relief of relief, and there was worry and distress when looking at Zhang Rang.He caressed Zhang Rang's face and sighed, "You are smart enough, but you can't always see through—" As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, his words are good, and he is about to die. has no meaning.As if at this moment, Emperor Huan became transparent in front of Zhang Rang's eyes, and those cares and feelings did not conceal calculations and doubts.It's too simple to say regret, pain, etc., maybe, it's just crazy.

Empress Dowager Dou and her father Dou Wu planned to welcome the 12-year-old Jiedu Tinghou as emperor, but said that he and Emperor Huan came from the same lineage of Hejian King Liu Kai, and Emperor Huan's father and grandfather were both sons of Liu Kai.Because of Dou Wu's support, he was named a general, and Chen Fan was re-appointed as a captain.

After Chen Fan became the Taiwei, he tried his best to persuade General Dou to deal with the eunuchs. The conflicts and grievances between the two parties could not be eased with the death of Emperor Huan, but would only surface more sharply. The balance point of the scale had already collapsed. And the young Lingdi couldn't support such a fierce balance with such a complicated and heavy conflict of rights.Before the death of Emperor Huan, the two parties were in the same situation, and now they are deliberately trying to kill each other, not only for the protection and pursuit of interests, but also for their own safety.

As Dou Wu is a relative, Empress Dowager Dou is in charge of the harem, so she has close contacts with eunuchs.General Dou intends to purify the ruling and opposition parties with Chen Fan, or in other words, only by intervening in it can he establish his family's authority and interests, but due to the relationship between Queen Mother Dou and the inner curtain of the harem, there is always some hesitation.

Chen Fan is very upright, and firmly believes that it is impossible to achieve his political goals and even political beliefs without removing the eunuch's power.Successively some smaller eunuchs such as Guanba were used as a warning to others, but if they didn't want to do more, they would scare the snake.Cao Jie and Wang Fu were very panicked, and kept flattering and pleading with Empress Dowager Dou and Dou Wu.Dou Wu and Chen Fan remembered that in the last disaster, Wang Fu released Fan Pang from prison, and the two had been showing their loyalty to Queen Dowager Dou, so Dou Wu temporarily stayed with them.

Chen Fan recommended to Dou Wu, and Li Huang was reappointed as Captain of Sili.When Chen Fansi and Emperor Huan eliminated Liang and Ji, they took the position of Wei Xiong, the Sili school, and then properly arranged the forbidden army to launch a coup.The most important thing for the rest is to persuade Dou Wu to make up his mind to deal ruthlessly with the eunuch.

However, the world is always changing, especially in politics, which is more changing than women. It is almost impossible for the countermeasures that have been applied to be successfully used again at a certain point in the future; after all, the more political struggles are at the top, the less likely they will appear Stupid opponent.

Therefore, Chen Fan just used the means of Emperor Huan to deal with Liang Ji to deploy the most important force. .If the little eunuch just said that he was with Queen Mother Dou, Queen Mother Dou would not necessarily betray her father, but she didn't want Queen Mother Dou to enter the palace for a short time, and the foundation has not yet been firmly established. Many, he passed the news to the eunuch who had brought him in the palace.In this way, it is easy to dodge the open gun, but difficult to defend against the hidden arrow, especially when you have the crucial information of the other party.

But even so, if the eunuch does not have the winning weight in his hands, it is hard to say who will win.After the eunuch knew about this, he quickly launched a coup, hijacked Queen Mother Dou, and took control of seals, seals, talismans, and festivals.Chen Fan and General Dou heard the news, but it was difficult to get together, and they were in a hurry. Chen Fan led the Taiwei's bureaucrats to resist, but it was just a dying struggle. Dou Wu led the infantry battalion to resist, not wanting to protect the Huns. Staying in the capital, he received an edict from the eunuch, thinking that General Dou had rebelled, and Dou Wu was wiped out immediately.Li Huang was imprisoned again.

"You should have expected that today will come—since you executed my brother, there will never be a peaceful day between you and me." In the dark and damp prison cell, there was a luxurious soft chair at the door. Lazily sinking into it, uttering these words that seemed to be full of hatred, it was only the empty eyes that betrayed his empty mood that he couldn't get much pleasure from it.

Zhang Rang continued to speak in a lazy tone, "No matter what the reason is, anyway, we and you, either you die or I live—"

"However, you should be wondering why General Zhang Huan and Zhang obeyed our dispatch and pointed the sword to kill the Huns at you—"

Li Ting was hanged and handcuffed on the wall, and wanted to ignore Zhang Rang and his words, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Rang, his eyes flickering.

"I have both the jade seal and the tiger talisman in my hands. How could General Zhang not obey our orders? He must have doubts in his heart, but even if he knew the truth, he would rather be deceived. No matter how clear I am in my heart when I recognize Yuxi and Tiger Talisman, a soldier like General Zhang will definitely not be able to deviate from his duty—”

"You must be very curious about how I have these. These should have been in the hands of the young Emperor Ling—no, Emperor Huan gave them to me anyway, wanting to use them as my amulets—as expected. The life-saving talisman is still very useful, it seems that it can save me a long life—hahaha—"

Li Huang looked at Zhang Rang who had fallen into madness, without saying a word, his eyes were full of sarcasm and pity.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why are you looking at me like that?! You think I'm ridiculous and pitiful, don't you?! Now, I have no father, no younger brother, even Emperor Huan has gone, and I have become a real loner , but you still try your best to do things that seem to you to be unreasonable, you think I'm hopeless, don't you?—"

"Huh—you don't know, Emperor Huan was actually poisoned to death by me—"

"Tsk tsk tsk, why are you still looking at me like this? Are you angry? Think I'm a lunatic? Do you think I did such a rebellious thing? So crazy and so unreasonable that I poisoned my beloved with my own hands. people!"

"However, I didn't go to poison him to death. Could it be that he died in someone else's hands?"

"He knows everything, and he's not that excited. Why are you so excited—"

"In your eyes, he is the emperor, and I'm just a useless, dirty, despicable, and despicable eunuch, so he shouldn't be blamed for whatever he does, and I, whatever I do, is wrong—"

"I just want to be single-minded, safe and happy with the person I love, but he is the emperor, he can't do it; I think my father and my younger brother can live a good life, but they are gone, and he still wants to protect you! My worst He tore me apart for everything I wanted, he couldn't do it, and he wouldn't do it, so I hate him as much as I love him!"

"You also think I'm ridiculous, don't you?! Even the last person in the world who really cared about me was killed by myself. You must think that I have done the most stupid thing in the world!"

"Ha, none of you will ever know! If he lives, never, he will never! He will never love me as much as he did when he died!"
