In the city of Luoyang, facing the sudden death of Zhang Jue under the falling stars, the Duke of the Han Dynasty was dumbfounded and shocked to the extreme, and he knelt down in a large area.
He can know his own life and death, and he has such a miraculous appearance. Some people believe that Zhang Jiao did not die, but ascended directly.
This scene was so ridiculous that the ministers, who were usually as slippery as loaches, even became a little confused for a moment.
Zhang Yan and other commander-in-chief Qu of the Taiping Army wept secretly, feeling sad again in their hearts.
In fact, people like him had no merit, but the Taoist Master helped people like him until the end of his life.
The whole North Palace wall was silent for a long time, and then finally a bold person stood up and asked loudly: "What happened to Luoyang after the Taoist Master passed away?"
As this clear voice asked, an infinite storm suddenly gathered in everyone's hearts.
Zhang Jiao passed away, the new king of the world was gone, and most importantly, the undisputed master of Luoyang was gone. Who would be in charge of this?
Zhang Yan and others immediately stood up after hearing this. Everyone put their hands on the hilts of their swords and stared at the people under the steps.
Although there was no sign of tension, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense. Many people realized that this was a very critical life-and-death moment for political life. At this critical moment of power transition, once done properly, you can gain Incredible wealth.
After being reminded by Luo Xiao, Zhang Yan, Guan Hai and others understood this very well. What position they occupy in the new political situation is the key to future achievements.
A slightly seductive voice suddenly sounded from the left side of the palace wall: "I think I should be restrained and buried for the Heavenly Master first."
Everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound. Queen He was standing there with Gong E. She didn't know when she appeared. Although her face was expressionless, her whole body was still like a mandala, full of seductiveness.
In fact, Queen He was extremely panicked now. She really didn't expect that Zhang Jiao would pass away.
Although Zhang Jiao forced her husband to be killed and killed the He family's relatives who caused the trouble, she changed from a high-ranking queen to a prisoner.
But when she asked herself, she was treated very well among the prisoners. She did not even encounter those horrific evil things. Her son was also saved. As for the He family's relatives, she didn't care.
Perhaps it was Stockholm Syndrome, but at least Queen He regarded Zhang Jiao as a protector who could protect her mother and child.
But now that Zhang Jiao has passed away, can he still sit in the harem so peacefully?
Queen He was not sure.
There are too many tigers, leopards and wolves in Luoyang City, and my noble status as queen and stunning beauty are the cause of trouble.
Who can I rely on?
Those who flattered the emperor were killed, those who were loyal to the emperor committed suicide, and there were only a few people left who had both ends of the spectrum. Can they be trusted by themselves?
During those many trips to Luoyang City, the Taiping Army was the only one he could rely on to protect himself and the emperor. If he wanted to make good friends with the Taiping Army, his attitude toward Zhang Jiao was the most critical.
As soon as Queen He said these words, anyone with a strong political attribute would immediately realize the importance of the Taiping Army in the current situation.
The only thing that makes people more suspicious is that the Taiping Army has just killed the emperor and many ministers, and now it is posted. I don’t know what the people in the world will think.
These people had a lot of concerns, but the desperate Queen He didn't care. She walked up the steps step by step in front of everyone and came to Luo Xiao's side.
Looking at Zhang Jiao, who was facing death as if he were alive, his eyes were extremely complicated, and finally he sighed slightly. Several commanders from the Taiping Army wanted to know what Queen He was going to say.
Queen He turned around and looked at the people under the palace wall and said loudly: "Emperor Ling is the only husband certified by Emperor Su, so everyone in the world can kill him.
I once heard that during the Zhou Dynasty, King Jie of Zhou Dynasty messed up the palace, and eventually the tragedy of father and son killed each other occurred, but the history books denounced King Jie.
Can't we see from this that in the face of the great righteousness of killing a single husband, small righteousnesses such as loyalty and filial piety between monarch, minister, father and son have to be ranked behind?
I know that some of you people still think that Dao Master Tian is a thief, and some still hold the so-called loyalty first.
Isn't this abandoning the great righteousness and pursuing small details?
This is something that even women like this are despised!
You are all great Confucian scholars who have read poetry and books, so you must understand this truth. "
Queen He's words made the eyes of everyone on Taiping Road shine and made everyone under the palace wall talk a little bit.
These remarks are politically correct, but people's hearts are always unwilling to agree with political correctness.
Although it is right to kill an independent husband, people are still more willing to follow the common loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness between monarch, minister, father and son.
But in the face of Queen He's words, no one dared to refute.
Because even if I have strange thoughts in my heart, I can't say them out.
In today's Zhuxia world, the behavior of supporting a single husband is absolutely prohibited, and it is of the type that will basically lead to social death once spoken out.
On the surface, Empress He was talking about the righteousness between king, subject, father and son, but in fact she was giving herself the reputation of righteousness first. After all, it is also despised to argue with a wife against her husband, or even to betray her husband.
Seeing that no one dared to stand up against her, Queen He felt a little proud, and then said: "Master Tian Dao, since the uprising, he has only done one thing, and that is to eliminate harm for the world. Such a person , if you don’t worship and praise him, it would be inappropriate and insufficient to express reflection.
Just as there is no night, how can we know the glory of the sun?
How can we know the existence of goodness without ugliness?
Without a hero like the Heavenly Dao Master, how could he know the great evil of the Ling Emperor? "
Seeing that Queen He was getting more and more outrageous, someone finally couldn't help but said: "Queen, Emperor Ling is your husband, how can you accuse him in public like this?"
Empress He didn't expect that someone would dare to refute her at this time. A sharp flash of her eyes flashed through her eyes, but she knew that it was not the time to settle accounts yet, so she said directly: "If describing this person and his events is an accusation, then the remonstrance is Are loyal ministers all traitors?
If a straightforward description of his person and his events turns into accusation, then what is the point of criticizing his ridiculous behavior?
It's in vain that you have read all the books, but here you are wagging your tongue and not knowing what it means. I have heard that the Spring and Autumn Period has a small talk about the great righteousness, which was written by the two sages Luokong with great concentration. If you don't understand what the great righteousness is, read the Spring and Autumn Annals first instead of here. Make noise for the independent husband. "
This sentence directly blocked the only thing everyone wanted to say. They looked at Queen He a little strangely, wondering why the woman in front of them suddenly became so sharp in her words.
Queen He was not that kind of weak woman to begin with. To a certain extent, she could even be called vicious. She fully displayed her talents in the face of life and death crises and in protecting her son.
Seeing that everyone was frightened by her again, Queen He was worried about the long nights and dreams, and then said: "I once heard that King Jie of Zhou did not get the blood food of his descendants. This must be the outcome that Emperor Ling deserved, which caused the Han Dynasty to almost perish. , causing the Han Dynasty to lose the position of emperor. If such a king can still be listed in the ancestral temple, I am afraid that the previous emperors such as Emperor Gao and Emperor Guangwu will not be stable.
Dufu Bingzheng has only made so many mistakes in these few years. If Emperor Ling is still in power, what will the world be like?
That is unimaginable!
Emperor Ling's willingness to hang himself was probably the most correct thing he did in his life.
The Heavenly Dao Master has made great contributions to the world, and has eliminated a great harm to the Han Dynasty. If Tian Dao Master had not taken action, the Han Dynasty would have been completely cut off from the imperial line in the world!
How can it be just the imperial line?
Have you, the ministers and ministers, forgotten the great chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the late Han Dynasty?
If you forget, just take a look at the scene in Guandong and see what those groups of thieves are doing. I think you all should kneel here and kowtow to the Lord of Heaven! "
Queen He's words simply made everyone's hearts explode. There was nothing wrong with it, but why did the people who almost overthrew the Han Dynasty become the heroes of the Han Dynasty, and the people who conquered Luoyang became them? benefactor?
Moreover, it is said here that Emperor Ling hanged himself in a high-sounding way. It is indeed true that he hanged himself. This will definitely be recorded in the history books. But the question is what happened. Didn’t you know what happened?
Even if Zhang Jiao killed the Dufu and contributed to Zhu Xia, the fact that he was a rebel of the Han Dynasty is a sure thing. Even if the historian records history, at most the negative words such as thieves, bandits, and thieves should be deleted, but the word "ni" , no matter who comes, must remember it, this is called justice.
This Empress He was really too capable in order to lick the Taiping Army. She was really a cruel and vicious woman!
Zhang Yan and Guan Hai looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes. They stood next to Queen He and said loudly: "The Queen really understands the righteousness. Saving the world is exactly what the Taoist Master wishes. No. To think that the person who understands Tao Master’s thoughts best is actually a female streamer.”
As soon as she heard Zhang Yan and the six people talking, Queen He felt happy. She was now stable. At least in a short time, these Taiping soldiers would definitely protect her. As long as she could make good friends with these people, she could let these Taiping soldiers return from the Han Dynasty. Righteousness may not necessarily lead to the re-establishment of imperial authority.
There is never a static identity in this world, and rebels who accept recruitment are everywhere.
As long as the Ling Emperor can be put on the pillar of shame as a single husband, and then the cause of Ling Emperor's death is attributed to his own hanging to thank the world, then the things the Taiping Army did before will not be a problem.
Could it be that Qing Jun was also wrong?
Did the Taiping Army personally kill the ten permanent servants who brought trouble to the world and stirred up the Party's imprisonment?
It's just that during the execution process, some remnants of the party were discovered lurking among the scholars, so they just killed a few more. Besides, some scholars were also given evil posthumous titles. Can anyone say that the killing was wrong?
This time there was both great justice and a sword. Even if you didn't want to, you had to kneel down. Under the wall of the North Palace, a large number of people knelt down in a messy manner, and they couldn't help but kowtow.
This was not to thank Zhang Jiao, but to succumb to the situation created by the joint efforts of Queen He and the Taiping Army. At this critical moment, Queen He seized the opportunity to take the lead and take the lead in the situation in Luoyang.
However, many people did not give up. Winning first does not count as winning, only laughing at the end counts.
Now that Commander Qu of the Taiping Army can side with Queen He, he may not be able to side with them in the future.
After all, she is just a former queen in a deep palace. How can she give as much as others like them?
After leaning for a while, everyone stood up one after another. Some people wanted to leave, so they asked directly: "Queen, marshals, do you still have important matters? If nothing happens, you should go home."
Seeing that the situation was great, Queen He smiled in her eyes, but her face remained serious as she said: "The first thing I said was to discuss the burial of the Taoist Master. Now that Emperor Ling cannot be listed in the ancestral temple, naturally he cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum. .
The Imperial Mausoleum is the key to our Han family. Since the Ling Emperor cannot enter, he just buries the Taoist Master in it. This Imperial Mausoleum is in line with the Taoist Master's identity. "
boom!
Everyone held back the previous words, but as soon as these words came out, someone immediately started shouting, "Queen, you are crazy!"
Such filthy words actually appeared directly under the palace wall. One can imagine the extent of the emotions in these people's hearts.
Especially the young scholars who were relatively impatient started to criticize her directly, but the older people had smiles in their eyes. Sure enough, she was still the same woman they were familiar with. Although she was a little clever, she couldn't do it at the critical moment.
The good situation ahead was ruined by this final failure. At this political level, it would be easy to kill her later. In this case, I won't directly confront her here.
After all, she still holds the knife in her hand.
Sure enough, as these old foxes expected, Queen He immediately ordered people to drag out and kill the few scholars who made insults. After a few screams, it suddenly became quiet. Some were silent, while others were at ease.
Zhang Yan and others were also shocked by Queen He's words. This woman was really a madman and said quickly: "The Taoist Master said before his death that his wish was to be burned to ashes and then scatter the ashes into Luoshui. He wanted his soul to last forever. stay in the divine river."
Queen He was extremely upset. When everyone suddenly broke out, she knew that she had made a mistake.
Now that I heard what these Qu Shuai said, I became even more upset. I tried my best to hold on to my arms, but I didn't know that I didn't hold back at the last moment.
What was originally a good situation turned out to be unexpected, but it was useless to think about it now. She could only pretend to smile and said: "I originally thought that only the Imperial Tomb could match the identity of the Taoist master, but I didn't think carefully. Unexpectedly, the Taoist Master himself already had an idea.
To be buried in Luoshui, you need to hold sacrifices and obtain the approval of the God of Luoshui. You can prepare now and put your spirit in confinement for the sake of the Taoist master. "

Empress Xiaoling, originally the daughter of a butcher family, entered the country with her appearance. She was jealous by nature and shocked the harem. She neither admonished the emperor nor taught her children. She indulged her relatives. The decline of the Han Dynasty also had its reasons, so the mother's behavior should not be careless. ——"Book of the Later Han·Biography of Foreign Relatives"
