Wang Rong came to beg for the honor guard, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to rip off Chunyu Chang. Chunyu Chang's mind changed, and he immediately held Wang Rong's hand with a smile and walked into the inner hall together. Wang Rong was young and had not yet experienced officialdom, so he was puzzled by Chun Yuchang's behavior. Chunyu Chang helped Wang Rong sit down and immediately took out the gold, silver and jewelry. He saw the treasures piled on the table like a mountain.
Chunyu Chang thought that as long as he could use money to ask Wang Li to say a few kind words to Liu Ao, he might be able to stay in Chang'an. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as he can stay in Chang'an, Chun Yuchang's showmanship will one day be effective; if he is demoted back to his fiefdom, even if his showmanship is the best in the world, his skills will be useless and nowhere to be used. Chun Yuchang secretly glanced at Wang Rong, the life-saving straw, and saw Wang Rong smiling happily at Cai Bao. Seeing that Wang Rong had fallen into the trap, Chunyu Chang did not allow him to think twice and ordered someone to wrap up the gold and silver on the table and give it to Wang Rong. Greed is hereditary. Even though he could not inherit it, Wang Rong also learned a few things through Wang Li's words and deeds. Wang Rong took the money and immediately got into the carriage and drove home quickly.
Unexpectedly, Wang Rong could knock back so much gold and silver with just one rip-off, and Wang Li was very happy. Wang Rong told Chun Yuchang's request, and Wang immediately wrote a memorial letter with sincere words, asking Liu Ao to keep Chun Yuchang in Chang'an.
After reading Wang Li's memorial, Liu Ao was puzzled. This pair of life-and-death enemies suddenly reconciled, and he didn't hear any news about it. Regarding the Nanjun land, Wang Li hated Chunyu to the core and wished he could eat Chunyu alive. Wang Li should be happy that Chunyu Chang was demoted, instead of asking him to stay in Chang'an. Private contacts between officials were originally something the emperor was afraid of. Now that the enemies suddenly shook hands and made peace, Liu Yu had to be cautious. For his own safety, Liu Ao ordered a supervisor to investigate and report the matter.
During Liu Ao's time, there were no powerful officials in Chang'an, and the people were fairly simple. Yousi had no trouble investigating and soon found out that Wang Rong had asked Chunyu Chang for a bribe. Liu Ao wanted to follow the clues and ordered Wang Rong to be arrested and interrogated. Wang Li heard that Liu Ao was angry and wanted to arrest Wang Rong. He was worried that Wang Rong would betray him, so he was so cruel that he forced his son Wang Rong to commit suicide.
For a small bribery case, someone actually committed suicide. A life had been lost, and Liu Ao was even more concerned about the matter. Not out of compassion for human life, but out of concern for the conspiracy behind the incident. Since Wang Zhengjun came to power, the Wang Group has been the most powerful foreign influence in Chang'an. The dictatorship of the foreign relatives deeply hurt the hearts of the Han Dynasty, and the kings of the Han Dynasty were always wary of the mischief caused by the foreign relatives.
When Chunyu Chang heard that Wang Rong had committed suicide, he was afraid that things would get worse and he ran away immediately. Liu Ao decided that the matter must be investigated to the bottom of the matter. The emperor, who usually only knew him to be romantic and cheerful, suddenly spoke out to get down to business. Yousi worked diligently to recover Chun Yuchang and imprisoned him pending trial. Liu Ao doesn't like killing people or teasing people. He just wants to make things clear. Liu Ao, who was usually kind and kind, became angry and immediately frightened Chun Yuchang out of his wits. Chunyu Chang immediately told the story of bribing Wang Li and his son.
As the old saying goes, "If Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face will not change." Such people are calm. Chunyu Chang had an outstanding appearance and had never been greatly frightened. He didn't know what it meant to be calm. Chunyu Chang was immediately frightened when he saw the fierce and vicious Yousi Fierce God. He told everything about defrauding Queen Xu, teasing Queen Xu, and promising to support Queen Xu as Queen Zuo. When Wang Mang spoke to Wang Gen, he only said that Chunyu Chang had committed adultery with Xu Shu and defrauded Queen Xu, without knowing the details.
To tease the queen is to confuse the harem. Liu Ao showed no mercy to his beloved Chunyu Chang and immediately ordered his men to behead him. Empress Xu was always left out, but since she wanted to stretch her head and enjoy the breeze, Liu Ao made it happen. Liu Ao ordered Kong Guang to go to visit Queen Xu. The visit was fake. As soon as Kong Guang left, he naturally received the order to kill Queen Xu. Queen Xu was very obedient. After Kong Guang left, she committed suicide by taking poison. Since you are a cold person, don't join in the fun, otherwise you will be roasted or roasted.
Liu Ao, who had killed two people in a row, could no longer bear such killings. Prime Minister Zhai Fangjun came from a humble background, was diligent and studious, and was well versed in the art of observing words and emotions. When he saw that Wang Li could not escape unharmed, he immediately wrote a letter to impeach Wang Li and petitioned for Wang Li's arrest. Liu Ao didn't like to imprison people. He liked to kick people's butts and kick them back to their fiefdoms. Fortunately for Wang Li, Liu Ao didn't investigate further and just kicked him and his gang back to the fiefdom. Some of the "Five Marquises" named Wang are dead and some are gone. Chang'an is like the sea after a storm, a little quiet.
Chang'an could have been peaceful, but Liu Ao only knew about men and women, not politics. Seeing that the Wang Group was about to be destroyed, Liu Ao handed over the position of Grand Sima to Wang Mang. In November of 8 BC, Wang Mang, who was 38 years old at the time, was granted the title of Grand Sima. After becoming the Grand Sima, Wang Mang was as before, not only not arrogant, but also more humble. Occupying a high position, he is filial at home and virtuous outside, and behaves politely. He is well-known by passers-by, and everyone praises Wang Mang. I think back then, when Xiao He was superior to his master, Liu Bang was so jealous that he almost killed Xiao He. But now, facing Wang Mang, who is at the height of his fame, Liu Ao just wants to lie down in the gentle countryside, which makes people lament that each generation is really inferior to the last.
After kicking Wang Li away and welcoming Wang Mang, Chang'an seemed very calm.
"When a swallow pecks at the emperor's grandson, he knows that the Han Dynasty is about to be destroyed." This is a famous saying in King Luo Bin's "Quest for Wu Xi". "The Han Dynasty is about to end" is easy to understand, but what is "the swallow pecks the emperor's grandson"? It turned out that after the Zhao sisters entered the palace, they were pampered and extravagant. Gradually, the two sisters became the rulers of the harem. At first, a palace maid named Cao gave birth to a son for Liu Ao, and his sisters killed Cao's mother and son; later, a beauty named Xu gave birth to a son for Liu Ao, and Liu Ao watched helplessly as his son was killed by the Zhao sisters. die. Liu Ao favored the Zhao sisters, which made him childless, and he followed the folk song of Chang'an swallows pecking the prince's grandson.
On March 18, Liu Ao died suddenly. On the night of March 17, Liu Ao was still in Zhao Hede's arms, and the two were loving each other. But early the next morning, they were separated from each other, which was very sad.
The two Zhao sisters used their favor to confuse the harem, resulting in Liu Ao not having any children left. The Queen Mother hated this very much. Now that Liu Ao is dead and the Zhao sisters' backer has fallen, the Queen Mother, who is in charge of power during the transition of power, will naturally not let these sisters go.
Liu Ao died suddenly, and the Queen Mother hurriedly took power. The Zhao sisters left the Queen Mother without any grandchildren, and the Queen Mother wanted them to die miserably. The Queen Mother ordered Kong Guang to take over the post of prime minister immediately and join forces with Wang Mang to jointly investigate Liu Ao's death. The Queen Mother investigated Liu Ao's death and aimed to kill the Zhao sisters. Liu Ao died violently in Zhao Hede's boudoir, and Zhao Hede could not escape his involvement in any case. As the Queen Mother expected, as soon as Kong Guang and Wang Mang started investigating, Zhao Hede committed suicide out of fear of guilt. Zhao Hede's death did not resolve the matter and the investigation continues.
During the transition period of imperial power, the obedient adoptive grandson allowed the Queen Mother to experience what it was like to be in power. It was not until April 8 that Liu Xin announced her accession to the throne. Liu Xin, who was nineteen years old at the time, sat on the lofty throne, but the emperor's position did not mean unlimited glory for him. According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, once Liu Xin adopted Liu Ao as his son, he had to break away from his biological parents. However, Liu Xin's biological grandmother Fu Zhaoyi was very resourceful. Not only did she raise Liu Xin, she also bribed Chang'an nobles such as the Zhao sisters to help Liu Xin obtain the title of prince. It can be said that the relationship between Liu Xin and Fu Zhaoyi is like the relationship between Li Mi and his grandmother: without Fu Zhaoyi, there would be no Liu Xin who became the emperor.
Liu Xin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and also moved his hometown in Dingtao with him. Nineteen-year-old Liu Xing found it very difficult to establish a good relationship with the Queen Mother's family. Coupled with the conflict between the two major families, he was destined to be in a dilemma. Living is painful, the burden of life is too heavy, and he is struggling.
After Liu Xin became emperor, the first thing he did was to reward him. He named Wang Zhengjun the Queen Mother, the beautiful Zhao Feiyan the Queen Mother, and his wife-to-be, the daughter of his grandmother Fu Zhaoyi's cousin, the Queen Fu. Liu Xin's marriage to Queen Fu was all arranged by Fu Zhaoyi. This fact proves that Fu Zhaoyi is very scheming and powerful.
When the prince was selected, everyone in the court felt that Liu Xin was more suitable, because everyone who could speak had accepted bribes from Fu Zhaoyi. After Liu Xin became emperor, Empress Dowager Wang suddenly discovered that Liu Xin's relatives were very powerful, and Fu Zhaoyi alone was a force that could not be ignored. Wang Zhengjun regarded himself as the Empress Dowager and did not bother to compete with Fu Zhaoyi. However, after Fu Zhaoyi saw her grandson Liu Xin securely taking the throne, she couldn't help but want to get her wish and fly up a branch to become a phoenix.
Fu Zhaoyi's status is low, and she cannot soar to the sky. However, she set such a goal, regardless of the consequences of doing so. Everyone wants to try the feeling of being in power. Yingbu once wanted to taste the feeling of being an emperor, but in the end he only ended up with his head and a different place.
When it comes to scheming, Wang Zhengjun is no match for Fu Zhaoyi. Fu Zhaoyi is the best at using human emotions to deceive his opponent's reason. After Liu Xin was established as the crown prince, Liu Ao refused to allow Fu Zhaoyi and Ding Ji to visit Liu Xin. Liu Ao feels that time is the most ruthless, and the relationship will naturally grow rusty after not seeing each other for a long time. Liu Ao is indeed a master of romantic affairs that can lead to death, and he knows how to make love last for a long time. The Queen Mother was deeply compassionate and allowed Fu Zhaoyi and Ding Ji to visit Liu Xin every ten days. Family ties are not as good as love. They see each other so frequently, so there must be a conspiracy.
Women all pay attention to titles, unlike men who value reality. Fu Zhaoyi loves titles to the point of madness. However, it was this name that brought Fu Zhaoyi, Ding Ji and Liu Xin together in the underworld. Fu Zhaoyi and Ding Ji pestered Liu Xin every day, just like Liu Xin pestered Fu Zhaoyi when she was a child. They asked Liu Xin every day where they should live. Where should I live? This is a pun, which implies the expectation for their names.
Liu Xin felt sad when her biological grandmother asked her, and immediately summoned Prime Minister Kong Guang and Grand Sikong Hewu for a meeting to discuss arrangements for Fu Zhaoyi and Ding Ji's residence. Liu Xin recruited people for a meeting, but did not recruit Wang Mang, the chief minister. This shows how embarrassed Fu and Ding are for him. When a meeting was held to invite important officials from the imperial court, Grand Sima Wang Mang was not present. What a deformed meeting it was. Liu Xin, the emperor, was destined to grow up between the two families throughout his life.
When talking about the registration of Fu Zhaoyi and Ding Ji's names, we have to mention one person - He Wu. He Wu was a native of Pixian County, Shu County (now Pixian County, Sichuan). He knew that the prime ministers of the Han Dynasty were not as good as the previous ones, so he wrote to Liu Ao to restore the ancient three-gong system. Liu Ao didn't understand reform and passed the decree without thinking. If Jia Yi had been born in Liu Ao's era, he would not have died of depression.
In ancient times, the Three Dukes refer to: Prime Minister, Da Sima, and Da Sikong. Da Sima corresponds to Taiwei, Da Sikong corresponds to Yushi Dafu, and the Prime Minister is still the Prime Minister. He Wu petitioned for reform, but in fact nothing was changed, only the name was changed. Compared with Jia Yi, He Wu is a deceitful person. Because of this, He Wu was promoted to an official position.
During the meeting, Kong Guang found that Da Sima was absent, and he immediately smelled the smell of gunpowder. At first, all the courtiers agreed to choose Liu Xin as the crown prince, but Kong Guang refused to choose Liu Xin despite all the opinions. Kong Guang felt that the appointment of Liu Xin would undoubtedly attract a wolf into the house, because Fu Zhaoyi was like a wolf by nature and was full of tricks. Kong Guang took Zhou Bo's appointment of Liu Heng as an example, and advocated the appointment of an emperor whose relatives were weak. Everyone was drunk, Kong Guang's voice sounded monotonous and funny, and the tide of choosing Liu Xin as the prince was unstoppable. After Liu Xin proclaimed himself emperor, Kong Guang was afraid that Fu Zhaoyi would develop a family of Fu relatives that would compete with Wang Zhengjun's Wang relatives and eventually get involved in the vortex of factionalism. Kong Guang knew that now was the time for him to stand up again. He inherited the upright spirit of his ancestor Confucius, who would rather be broken than broken.
Afraid of the appearance of two suns in the sky, Kong Guang tried his best to prevent the second sun from rising. Fu Zhaoyi, the sun, is about to rise. Kong Guang cannot destroy her, he can only transform her into the moon. Kong Guang proposed to build another palace for Fu and Ding to live in. He wanted to cut off the connection between Fu and Ding and Liu Xin so that they could not interfere in politics.
Everyone is playing politics. Even if they don’t know politics, they still know how to scheming. As soon as Kong Guang's words came out of his mouth, everyone knew what he was planning. Liu Xin looked embarrassed because he was afraid of being blamed by Fu and Ding. Everyone knew that if Fu and Ding didn't want to live with him, they wouldn't speak to Liu Xin at all. When they spoke, they naturally wanted to live with Liu Xin. Liu Xin understood what Kong Guang was thinking, but she just didn't dare to nod.
Seeing Liu Xin's troubled expression, the fake reformer He Wu proposed that Fu and Ding live in Beigong. The North Palace is a good place. It is not only close to Weiyang Palace, but also has the Purple Room Road leading directly to Weiyang Palace. History was really kind to Empress Dowager Fu, and she actually left such a unique palace for her. Upon encountering this great news, Fu and Ding quickly moved to Beigong and lived in Beigong as quickly as possible to escape the war.
Beigong, Queen Mother Fu is here; Wang Zhengjun, Fu Zhaoyi is here!
