I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 305 Liu Long’s Thoughts ([-])
"Thoughts. Do you want to talk about the Deng family's thoughts?"

Liu Long glanced at Yu Xu next to him and seemed to see his thoughts and thoughts, but he just smiled at the corner of his mouth and didn't really say anything more.

"Go and calm down the soldiers in the city and tell them not to harass the people.

At the same time, he also told Du Jigong, Deng Zun and others.

Let them prepare their troops and horses, and they will continue to send troops after a short rest. This war has finally reached this point, and it must not be delayed any longer.

After arranging all this, Liu Long took Yu Xu directly in the other direction.

"Promoted to the throne."

"Chen is here!"

In Liu Long's temporary residence, Liu Long took a deep breath and looked at Yu Xu in front of him, and finally couldn't help but sigh, and then spoke softly to him.

"I understand what you mean, but what if I don't believe in this kind of thing?

Things in this world are basically a situation where you are strong and I am weak, and you are weak and I am strong.

There is no other possibility.

If I have never had the power in my hands, the Queen Mother may still care about the late Emperor and me in her heart, and she will not control this power too much.
Then I may still have some possibility in the short term.

But even so, even if the Queen Mother really understands the truth behind this, she really cares about the relationship between her father and I.

But this has been going on for a long time, and the Deng family will not just watch helplessly.

Say something that shouldn't be said.

How many people from the Deng family are there in this court?
Not to mention other people, it is just the Deng family lineage, the Gaomihou who was inherited from the lineage of Deng Yu, the great Sima at that time.

The eldest son Deng Zhen continued to serve as the Marquis of Gaomi, the second son Deng Xi eventually became the Marquis of Chang'an, and the third son Deng Zhen also successfully served as the Marquis of Yi'an.

The Empress Dowager's father was Deng Xun, the sixth son of the then Great Sima, a well-known general in the imperial court, and the Qiang Protector Colonel Deng Xun.

Even Deng Hongna, who committed a capital crime, stayed away and lost his military plane, was also a general of Du Liao.

Not to mention the grandchildren.

General Deng Zhi is the head of a hundred officials, but if you count him down by seniority.

Deng Zhen's son Deng Qian served as a minister and became the Marquis of Gaomi. Princess Shang was also infected with the evil of witchcraft. But even so, his son Deng Cheng is now the prefect of Hanzhong, a great Han Dynasty. Jun.

Deng Xi's son, Deng Lan, also served as a minister and the Duke of Chang'an.

The same Princess Shang Pinggao is still an important official in the court.

The general's brother, Deng Kang, the son of Deng Zhen, was appointed as a servant and was granted the title of Marquis of Yi'an!

As the elder brother of the Queen Mother, Deng Jing is now also the Minister of Huangmen, and can be regarded as a close minister around "me".

Deng Kui is another brother of the Queen Mother. He has also been transferred to the city gate school captain and has also been awarded the title of Yehou!
Deng Hong was now a general in the rank of Tiger and Lieutenant General, and he also received the title of Marquis of Xiping.

Even Deng Hao, the younger brother of our Queen Mother, hehehe, is now an official and a servant, and has won the position of Marquis of Xihua!
These positions are only the grandsons of the great Sima Deng Yu, that is, they are only the grandchildren.

As for Deng Zun and other descendants, there are also Deng Cheng and Deng Feng who have also held official positions in the court. They are all great-grandsons.

There are more people in this generation than before, and they are more majestic.

If this continues, I am afraid that the number of marquis positions for this big man will increase.It's just that I don't understand. I, a big man, have always been awarded the title of nobility except for military merit. The time they spent together on this battlefield is probably not as long as the time you spent with me.

If they can all be granted the title of marquis, Yu Xu, what kind of marquis do you want? "

".Hehehe. Your Majesty is joking."

Yu Xu showed a wry smile at this time, and then quickly shook his head to tell Liu Long to stop talking.

He finally heard His Majesty's thoughts and complaints about the Deng family. It definitely took more than a day or two.

But it's true to say this. Some recent things in the Deng family have indeed become more and more excessive.

Not only did they not take the court's laws seriously, but they also didn't take the Queen Mother's thoughts seriously.

"Without Liu, one cannot be crowned king; without merit, one cannot be granted the title of marquis."

This sentence was not something that Emperor Taizu Gao said casually. This was the bottom line of their great men!

That year, Emperor Gao, the great ancestor who pacified the world and overthrew the violent Qin Dynasty.

Before he died, he made an oath with his ministers to kill Baima. The specific content of the agreement was actually only two items:

The first is that as long as the Han Empire exists, the ministers and descendants of the court will always be rich and noble, with wine to drink and meat to eat;

This sentence is even above the titles of kings and marquises. Otherwise, who would protect the country's destiny for so many years?

The second reason is that the royal family without the surname Liu cannot be the king, otherwise the world can attack together, and those who have no military merit cannot be made marquis, otherwise the world can kill them together.

White Horse Oath. In fact, they all know that in layman's terms, it is Emperor Taizu Gao who is doing it for the national destiny of the Han Dynasty.

Everyone is specifically allowed to set their own two bottom lines.

"No one with the surname Liu can be called king, and no one without merit can be named a marquis."

In order to ensure these two bottom lines, he also used hereditary wealth to win over many ministers and generals under his command. He hoped that after a hundred years, he hoped that the Han subjects would always use this oath as a basis to protect the Liu family of the Han Dynasty and maintain the stability of the Han Dynasty. .

But this oath remains an oath, but some things still need to be done.

For example, when Emperor Taizu Gao's body was still cold, Empress Lu had already kicked over the jar of the Oath of the White Horse.

Then while taking control of the court, he prepared to make the descendants of the Lu family kings, and also received the support of Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other important ministers in the court. The White Horse Covenant became a dead letter.

It can be said that at that moment, Emperor Taizu Gao was about to become a joke.

But Emperor Taizu Gao was Emperor Taizu Gao after all, and there were some things that he really couldn't compare to ordinary people.

No one knows whether Emperor Taizu Gao expected these things, but Emperor Taizu Gao's White Horse Covenant really gave the Han a lot of backup.

That is the first article under this white horse covenant!
Anyone who wants to break the White Horse Covenant must first stabilize their position. If they want to stabilize their position, they cannot touch the important ministers who have not yet made a decision.

Because giving them official positions and promotions cannot win their trust and support.

On the contrary, they can only continue to give rewards to their family members so that they can gain rights and ascend to high positions.

And this will inevitably make those existing dignitaries and important officials in the court give up their rights.

In this way, the White Horse Covenant will be useful!
