Chapter 70 Liu Che: I want to upgrade the season version!
  Yanhan·Shun Emperor period
  Outside Zhangde Hall
  Liu Bao and other ministers watched the peacock fly away.

It was different from the regret on the ministers' faces.

After Liu Bao put away the elixir in his hand, he looked at the sky again.

Looking at his six-dimensional evaluation on the sky screen, he instantly grasped the key points.

Liang Ji...

He also heard about his uncle.

But he still couldn't believe that just being equal to him had lowered his evaluation in three dimensions.

Now he just wants to see what big thing Liang Ji will do next!
  ……

[In August 144 AD, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty passed away. Liu Bing, who was two years old, succeeded to the throne. He respected Emperor Shun Emperor's Queen Liang Yu as the empress dowager, and Liang Yu served as regent. 】

[On the sixth day of the first lunar month in 145 AD, Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty died in the front hall of Yutang. He was only three years old. His posthumous title was Emperor Xiaochong and he was buried in Huailing. 】

……

Da Qin,

Zhangtai Palace,
  Ying Zheng sat upright and put the bamboo slips in his hands on the table with a solemn expression.

He's really numb now.

Starting from Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, why did all these Eastern Han emperors live so short lives?
  Is there something wrong with Liu Bang's bloodline?

After taking a few deep breaths, Ying Zheng calmed down.

No, the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty still lived a long life.

Ying Zheng put his hand on his forehead and thought about it carefully.

In order to unify the world, the ancestors of Qin State had to walk on ragged roads, walk on thin ice, and go through many hardships.

Even Liu Bang was beaten several times by Xiang Yu before he conquered the world.

I also thought of all the strange phenomena on the sky, Liu Xiu unifying the world, and the incomparable destiny to help him.

Ying Zheng crossed his hands and placed them on the bridge of his nose.

...So there is only one reason!
  That means there was a problem starting from Liu Xiu!
  Could it be that Liu Xiu had too much destiny?
  Got a backlash?

……

On the canopy,
  The front hall of Yutang,

A tall minister with sharp eyes rushed to the noble lady and bowed his head and said:

"To establish an emperor today, it is appropriate to choose someone who is old, wise and virtuous, and can be involved in political affairs."

"I hope the Queen Mother will review the grand plan in detail, investigate Zhou Bo and Huo Guang's efforts to establish Emperor Wen and Emperor Xuan, and warn the Deng family and the Yan family from promoting the young and benefiting themselves!"

……

[At that time, the ministers headed by Li Gu wanted to welcome Liu Lian, King of Qinghe, as the emperor. They believed that King Qinghe was quite virtuous, old enough, and the great-great-grandson of Emperor Zhang of Han, so he should be made emperor. 】

[But Liang Ji was worried that Liu Suan was old enough, so he talked to Liang Yu about the fate of Deng's relatives, and the two decided to establish another young emperor]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
  Liu Che played with the wine jue in his hand with a sinister look.

There was deathly silence in Changqiu Palace.

Wei Zifu didn't dare to speak when he saw Liu Che's gloomy face.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace were all trembling.

No one knew what the emperor was thinking, but with the emperor's aura, he definitely didn't mean anything good.

At this time, Liu Che was thinking about three things.

The first thing is that my future self is really prescient! You really did the right thing by leaving the mother behind! I am truly a genius!
  The second thing is, these relatives are bullying people too much! Judu should be killed! Especially that Deng! The bad idea of ​​pushing the young and weak is revealed!

The third thing is to remove the mother and keep the son in order to prevent the queen mother and relatives from restricting the emperor.

What if I make a decree that future dynasties are not allowed to interfere in politics?
  Liu Che thought carefully about this third thing.

He felt that this matter was still very possible.

It's not that he is bragging.

After watching the sky for so long, it can be said that he was the only one in the entire Han Dynasty who was powerful in the court, and no one in the outer harem dared to disobey him.

Other emperors were more or less weak, a little restricted by so-called benevolence and emotion.

This is true even if Liu is ill.

But he was different. He only had two things in his mind: the Han Dynasty and power!
  Whoever prevents the prosperity of the Han Dynasty will die!
  Whoever shakes the imperial power will die!

Liu Che turned his fingers around the table and thought about it carefully.

The ability of later dynasties to intervene in politics was basically nothing more than the power to control the guards.

The Queen was able to take charge of the Guards because of the contributions made by the Lu family's relatives at the beginning of the founding of the country, thus deriving part of the rights from the imperial power.

The Lu family's relatives also wanted to defend the position of the crown prince of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.

Queen, relatives, prince.

Liu Che's eyes darkened,

Regarding the removal of the Queen from taking charge of the Guards.

As long as I don't move Liu Zheng's position as crown prince.

Wei Qing and Zixu would not have any objections.

Wei Qing and others have no objection, and it doesn't matter even if the Queen objects. The key is that if you want to show that no one can shake the crown prince's position, you must increase the prince's power.

Putting the power of the guard in the hands of the prince is the best expression of this power.

but……

Liu Che looked up at the sky.

Is it a good thing that the prince is powerful?
  I hope the wisdom of future emperors can give me some hints.

……

[On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month in 145 AD, Liang Yu sent Liang Ji to hold Fujie and use Wang Qinggai's chariot to welcome the eight-year-old Liu Zan, the great-great-grandson of Han Zhang Emperor Liu Jin and the son of Bohai Xiao Wang Liu Hong, into the Nangong. 】

[On the 19th day of the first lunar month, Liu Zuan was granted the title of Marquis of Jianping, and he became the emperor on that day. He was the Emperor of Han Zhi, and Liang Yu still took charge of the government. 】

[The Empress Dowager Liang then appointed Taiwei Zhao Jun as Taifu and Grand Sinong Li Gu as Taiwei to take charge of Shangshu affairs. 】

[At this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was experiencing internal and external troubles and social turmoil. The northern and western lands have fallen into the hands of the Western Qiang, Chang'an has been reduced to a key border defense area, bandits have emerged in Guangling and Liyang (Yangzhou) in the southeast, and Jiaozhi barbarians have rebelled in the south. 】

[Liang Yu appointed prime ministers to assist the government, favored Li Gu, selected loyal and good talents, and worked hard to promote frugality. 】

【Execute and depose corrupt officials. 】

[Expel all the eunuchs from Huangmen who have done evil. 】

[Sent troops to Teng Fu, a "talented civil and military man" recommended by the three public officials, to attack the southeastern bandits and wipe out the bandits. "The world hopes for peace"]

[If the Empress Dowager Liang could suppress her relatives like Deng Sui, or have capable ministers like Huo Guang to assist the government, she might have been able to revive the Eastern Han Dynasty. 】

[However, history has not been successful. The headstrong, unlearned and unskilled general Liang Ji seized power, making the fragile Eastern Han Dynasty even worse. 】

[During Liang Ji's rule, he was domineering and did everything. Many upright ministers, headed by Taiwei Li Gu, wrote letters criticizing Liang Ji and trying to correct the current shortcomings, but they all suffered retaliation from Liang Ji. 】

[Although Liu Zan was only eight years old, he was very arrogant and angry at Liang Ji's bossing around. 】

[During a court meeting, he called Liang Ji "this domineering general" in front of all the ministers, which made Liang Ji furious. 】

[After retiring from the court, Liang Ji felt that although Liu Zuan was young, he was smart and precocious, and he was an emperor. He was worried that Liu Zuan would be difficult to control when he grew older, so he decided to strike first. 】

……

The playback continued on the marquee.

In Luoyang Palace.

Li Gu knelt down in front of the bed, holding the palms of the pale young emperor with both hands, and asked with concern:

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The young emperor said with a painful expression:
  "I just ate boiled cakes. Now I feel a little stuffy in my stomach. If I drink more water, I can probably survive."

As soon as he finished speaking, the minister dressed as a military attache next to him said:

"I'm afraid I'll vomit, can't drink water, or..."

Before he finished speaking, the young emperor on the bed closed his eyes.

Li Gu's eyes widened in disbelief, holding the emperor's hand and crying sadly.

……

[In the leap month of 146 AD, Liang Ji asked his cronies who were placed around Liu Zuan to secretly mix poison into the boiled cakes that Liu Zuan ate. 】

[After eating the poisonous cake, Liu Zan suddenly felt stuffy and had stomachache, so he urgently summoned Taiwei Li Gu into the palace. Li Gu asked him the reason, and Liu Zuan could still respond at that time, saying: "Eat boiled cakes. I feel stuffy in my stomach now, but I can still live if I get water."]

[Liang Ji was by his side at that time and said: "Don't drink water for fear of vomiting." ”]

["He collapsed before he could finish his words. He laid down his corpse and cried"]

[Liu Zan died of poisoning and collapsed in Luoyang Palace. He was only nine years old, and his posthumous title was "Emperor of Filial Piety". 】

……

Yanhan·Shun Emperor period
  Liu Bao stood motionless with his hands behind his back.

The ministers behind him had already knelt down.

"General, I remember that you recommended Li Gu, right?"

"These many upright ministers in the court were all recommended by you. You have merit."

General Liang Shang, who was kneeling behind him, kowtowed to the ground and said:
  "Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are the things that should be taken for granted. I am ashamed and dare not live up to it."

"I am old and frail, and I am no longer able to do what I do. I would like to ask you to retire and return to your hometown together with me."

Liu Bao turned around and helped Liang Shang up, saying with a smile:
  "The general's hard work and meritorious service made him a Marquis of Ji, with a settlement of 1,500 households."

Liang Shang's lips trembled, but he did not dare to raise his head and look at Liu Bao.

"I... thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

The ministers behind Liang Shang knew very well that Liang Ji would not survive Liang Shang.

……

{Eastern Han Kindergarten is well-deserved! }

{Emperor Zhi of the Han Dynasty came to the imperial court at an early age and could recognize the treachery of Liang and Ji, so he was indeed smart. }
  {Said, "This is a domineering general." 'So he was poisoned by Liang Ji. If you are smart enough but not good at keeping things secret, you will think it is harmful. }
  {Although the Dou family and the Deng family in the Eastern Han Dynasty were also in power, the Dou family's relatives had military exploits, and the Queen Mother Deng also had good governance!}

{The domineering general Liang Ji is different from other relatives. He does not understand the laws of politics. He only knows how to use violence to coerce the emperor. This is a taboo. The imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty is still stable, but Liang's relatives do not have any political achievements or even military exploits. To poison Emperor Zhi of the Han Dynasty is really rude and domineering!}

 Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and we will meet the God of Wealth!

  Friends who see here may have good luck and make a fortune this year!
