(thirty eight)
In this short but long first half of her life, she studied history at the age of six, was selected by the late emperor at the age of twelve, entered the palace at the age of fifteen, was named a noblewoman at the age of sixteen and was pampered with great favors, and entered the imperial palace at the age of twenty-two. At the age of twenty-five, he came to the court and took over all the power. At the age of thirty, he gave away his mother.
She discovered that she was actually very lucky.
However, she seemed to have lost her energy.
She was even looking forward to her Sheng'er enjoying a normal human lifespan.
She was not like this originally.
People are all greedy.
When she was living in the harem and had no ambitions, she longed to take power in the world into her own hands. But now, as the people close to her are gradually disappearing, she still misses the warmth.
Sunge was speechless, can he live for a long time?
She can't do it.
And Deng Sui was not really happy to see the results.
When a relative passed away, Deng Sui expressed his feelings. The softest place in his heart was causing trouble, so he spoke like this.
She was willing to get along with Xin for several years, and Deng Sui had a motherly heart for her.
However, when a loving mother's heart collides with a lifelong ambition, the burning flame generated by the ambition will burn, annihilate, and completely dissipate the loving mother's heart.
The most important thing is that if she lives for a long time, the older she gets, the more unstable the minds of the officials in the court will be.
She is the eldest son of Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and her authority lies with her.
If she can live to the age of pro-government, even if she wants to give in, the courtiers will not let her retreat. By then, she will definitely be riding a tiger with difficulty.
Die, die.
There are benefits to dying early.
Sunge thought of what she had shouted when she and Deng Sui formed an alliance, choose her, she has a short life and is very weak.
Sunge let Deng Sui rub her head, venting her rare weakness.
Mother's kindness and son's filial piety are always two-way.
A loving mother and a filial son.
The son is filial and the mother is kind.
News of Mr. Xinye's death spread throughout the noble families in Luoyang.
Deng Sui stood in the court and ordered Sikong to be responsible for the funeral arrangements. The etiquette was similar to that of Liu Qiang, Prince Gong of the East China Sea.
Although the rituals were somewhat over the top, no one in the civil or military dynasty challenged Deng Sui on this matter.
The dead are dead, not to mention that Deng Sui is still the actual controller of the Han Dynasty after all.
Now, the eyes of all officials are focused on Brother Deng Sui.
When the mother dies, one should mourn Ding You.
Dingyou is the best embodiment of filial piety to parents, and it is also a test of whether children are filial.
In the Analects of Confucius, "A son is born for three years, and then he is freed from the arms of his parents. When a husband is mourned for three years, the whole world is mourning."
After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, he deposed all schools of thought to only respect Confucianism, governed the world with filial piety, and began to legalize Ding You.
That is to say, from this time on, Ding You was fixed from the customs of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the legal provisions throughout the feudal society period. By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dingyou system gradually became popular.
Ding You is not without exception, and he can also win love.
However, it is obvious that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not want the Deng brothers to commit acts of seizing love.
They even suggested, overtly or secretly, that the Queen Mother and her relatives should set an example and promote filial piety.
In the court, Deng Sui used the Deng brothers most conveniently and reliably. She deliberately ordered to win her love.
However, the crowd was furious.
Seeing the dispute, brother Deng Zhi took the initiative to resign and mourn.
Deng Sui remained undecided and thought about it for a long time.
In this matter, no matter what choice you make, there are pros and cons.
Therefore, Sunge did not dissuade him. After all, Deng Sui had her own think tank, as well as the famous Ban Zhao of the Cao family.
Sure enough, Ban Zhao wrote a letter, "I have heard that humility is a virtue from God. Now your Majesty's four uncles adhere to the principle of loyalty and filial piety, and are willing to uphold filial piety and take the initiative to step down from their high positions."
"I know that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are restless due to the war on the border, and are afraid that my fourth uncle will resign and rebel, so I refuse to agree."
"However, if in the future there are people who are dissatisfied with the Queen Mother for not allowing the Deng brothers to resign and pay their respects, and who do not understand the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts and criticize the Queen Mother for her faults, then the reputation of humility will no longer exist.
If you get it, you will get a bad reputation. "
Ban Zhao's words made Deng Sui make his decision.
A good reputation is most useless, but it is only useful.
It can be rotten wood or a sharp sword.
She wields great power and has an incredible reputation.
Besides, Ding You is only resigning temporarily. As long as she still stands in the court and takes the throne, everything will be back on track.
Deng Sui agreed to the request of Deng Zhi and others with a wave of his hand, eliminating the storm invisible.
Then, he once again forgave the Yin clan. The family members of the expelled Queen Yin were allowed to return to their original county and the assets confiscated by the government were returned.
Mr. Xinye was born in the Yin family.
Another year, on the first day of the first lunar month, it was supposed to be a time of great joy to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, but at the beginning of the new year, there was a solar eclipse.
If the Tengu eats the sun, there will be evil.
This is what almost everyone thinks.
Even Taishi Ling, whose mind was opened to the second line of Ren and Du in Fuzhi, could not give an accurate explanation as to why the celestial phenomena were abnormal and natural and man-made disasters continued since the Queen Mother came to power.
Queen Mother, it is true that she stays up early and sleeps all night, wearing clothes and eating late at night. The government decrees and measures taken after previous natural disasters were also very appropriate.
However, there are still continuous natural disasters.
When people were in panic, as if to confirm the celestial phenomenon, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, an earthquake occurred in ten counties and feudal states of the Han Dynasty. The Qiang people took advantage of the crisis to attack Hedong County. When they reached Hanoi County, the people were panicked and the nearby officials were defenseless. City's determination.
Deng Sui was extremely busy while dealing with the ill will of powerful officials and common people.
She has become accustomed to it. Every time there is a natural disaster, there are always people who are consciously or unconsciously associated with her being in power, and regard the natural disaster as God's dissatisfaction with her.
Malice, speculation, and abuse are everywhere.
Taishi Ling, who became more and more knowledgeable about celestial phenomena, realized that celestial phenomena did not reflect ordinary people. Without the Queen Mother's governance, the people would probably be even more miserable.
For a whole year, Deng Sui was in dire straits.
At this moment, apart from not going to court or reviewing memorials, the puppet emperor, Sunge, who wanted to get involved in everything, began to go to court.
It was not for the purpose of fighting for power, but just to prove that even she, the emperor who was repeatedly called the orthodox emperor by officials, could not prevent the natural disaster from coming.
When he opens his mouth, he curses.
With both hands, holding a pen is slander.
Little did they know that such wanton abuse and slander were enough to completely cover up Deng Sui's achievements and efforts, making her an inconspicuous grain of sand in the long river of history.
She only has one or two years to live, so she will use these last one or two years to pave the way for Deng Sui again, so that those malicious people will no longer be unscrupulous.
Entering the government to govern.
In March, a locust plague occurred in the ten states. The locusts passed through the territory and gnawed mulberry in the food fields. There was no brown or grain all year round.
In May, there is no rain, drought strikes, and the land dries up.
In June, a flash landslide occurred in Xiyuan Mountain in Yuzhang County.
The natural disaster did not disappear because of her.
Naturally, it will not increase because Deng Sui is in power alone.
Sun Ge vaguely knew that the Eastern Han Dynasty coincided with a period of weak solar activity, which led to frequent natural disasters in various parts of the earth and a sharp drop in temperatures.
Well, as a time traveler, you need to use science to answer questions.
