Because Tian Fu was dissatisfied with the emperor's attitude towards him, he waited for everyone to withdraw from the Chengming Palace and went to the East Palace by himself.

The Queen Mother is playing money games with a group of maids in the East Palace, because the Queen Mother has just moved into the East Palace, and she is in a very good mood. The emperor promised himself to let Tian Fu be the prime minister, and the mood is even better, so she plays with a group of maids Play.

The Queen Mother has always been known as a very gentle lady, so the maids were not very afraid of her. Before Tian Fu entered the palace, she could hear laughing and joking inside.

Tian Fu is not happy now, and even more unhappy when he heard the laughter, so he immediately asked the servant to report.

The servant didn't dare to be negligent, and came in to communicate. Although the queen mother was playing on her head, when she heard that Tian Fu was coming, she asked the maid to clean up the table and left.

The Queen Mother thought, Tian Fu must have come here to thank her, but Tian Fu came in with a dark face.

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said with a smile: "Hey, what's the matter, you are not happy to be the prime minister?"

Naturally, Tian Fu didn't dare to flirt with the Queen Mother, so he could only pretend to be wronged and said: "Sister, brother, I, the prime minister, might as well not do it if I do it!"

The Queen Mother signaled him to sit down, Tian Fu nodded, went forward, and sat on the steps next to Feng Zuo.

Then the Queen Mother said: "What do you mean by this sentence? Is there a better official position than the prime minister in this world?"

Tian Fu said: "Brother, how dare I despise the bad position of prime minister, but you don't know, sister, that the emperor dumped my face in front of all the officials. It's really embarrassing and embarrassing. What will happen to me, Tian Fu?" Raise your head in front of all the officials, let alone the prime minister, who would be convinced by such a prime minister."

The Queen Mother said: "Have you made your words clear? You are too ignorant. You are his uncle."

Tian Fu complained: "Sister, fortunately, you were not there at the time. Do you know that the emperor first called Dou Ying in front of everyone, and said that the candidate for prime minister in his heart was none other than Dou Ying, but in the end he said it was the queen mother." You insisted on asking him to choose me as prime minister, the emperor said he had no choice, so he decided to be me. Listen, listen, what is this called, he doesn’t have me as uncle at all in his heart.”

"This is too outrageous!" The Queen Mother could imagine how ugly it was at that time, and said: "I promised to be good at that time, but I changed my mind after leaving the East Palace."

Tian Fu said: "I see, I don't want to be the prime minister. One day my good nephew doesn't like me, and if he pushes me to prison like Xu Chang, I'm not worth the candle!"

"He dares!" The Queen Mother stared and said, "Wait, I'll call him right away and ask him face to face!"

When Tian Fu heard that he wanted to confront him face to face, how could he dare to confront the emperor face to face, the emperor is so eloquent now, he was really afraid that the emperor would stick to himself again.

He hurriedly stopped him and said: "Don't, my good sister, don't you think I'm not embarrassing enough? I'm just here to chat with you, vomit my bitterness, and it's over after my sister has heard it. Don't take it to heart. Go, son, he is still young, don't hinder the relationship between your mother and child."

The Queen Mother sneered, "I think he is not young anymore, his wings are stiff. You said that I worked so hard to raise him and never begged him for a single thing. This is the first time I begged him, isn't it just letting him Is he going to do it for you as a prime minister? You said that the whole court is full of people, who can be taller than you? It's all right now, I'm getting older, and I despise this old woman."

Tian Fu rolled his eyes for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sister, don't be angry, it's because my brother is not good, and it must be because my brother is not as good as Dou Ying, that's why I don't like it."

"Nonsense." The Queen Mother said: "I don't know what ecstasy soup this Dou Ying gave the emperor. It stands to reason that he is a member of the Dou family. The Dou family has suppressed the emperor for so long. This Dou Ying is so trusting."

Tian Fu laughed and said, "Sister forgot, it's not just about Dou Ying, but also about Dou's family...it's the empress."

The Queen Mother said: "By the way, it must be Chen Ajiao who gave the emperor the ecstasy soup, that's why I trust Dou Ying so much."

Tian Fu nodded, and then said: "Actually, it's all because he's too young. He's just shallow-minded. If the queen blows the wind on his pillow twice, he'll get dizzy. How about this..."

As Tian Fu said, he leaned forward and said, "Queen Dowager, you will...be in charge of the court, just like the Empress Dowager back then... how about it?"

The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "Is this good?"

Tian Fu said: "Sister, what's wrong with this? With you here, even if he is young and ignorant, you can help him think about it, think about it, isn't this the best way? After all, We are all doing it for your own good, and your son may not be able to understand our painstaking efforts for a day or two, but you will eventually understand, and at that time, your son will have to thank you for having such a good mother!"

These words of his were obviously flattering the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother felt that she was very useful, and she was an ambitious woman, it would be great to be able to listen to the government before the court.

It was not a matter of a day or two for Liu Che's 30 army to set off, and it was necessary to secretly transfer the people in the border towns to a safe place.

Li Guang, Wang Hui and Han Anguo led the troops and set off when it was about the same time.

Liu Che was very excited. After all, this was his first large-scale confrontation with the Huns. When the three generals set off, Liu Che called Wei Qing to the wing.

Wei Zifu brought water to the two of them, and then stood aside to wait on them.

Liu Che smiled and said, "Wei Qing, what do you think of our 30 troops?"

Wei Qing hesitated for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty's 30 troops are huge in number and extremely powerful."

Liu Che seemed very satisfied with what he said, and said with a smile: "Even Wei Qing, you think so too. Presumably they will be able to defeat the Huns in one fell swoop this time. For so many years, this is the moment I have been waiting for. Let the Huns see that the big man is really strong." power."

Seeing the joy on the emperor's face, Wei Qing didn't dare to raise her head, and didn't refute Liu Che. Wei Zifu stood aside, so she was naturally not as happy as Liu Che, so she didn't ignore the hesitation on Wei Qing's face, and felt a little uncomfortable. Right, it's just that she's smart and won't ask in front of the emperor.

Liu Che said: "Wei Qing, do you know why I won't let you go this time?"

Wei Qing said: "This humble general has enough qualifications and has never been to the battlefield. Naturally, such a difficult task should be entrusted to experienced generals."

Liu Che shook his head and said: "It's not true, Wei Qing, you are my confidant, my confidant, and now you are the only one...Although you are a recruit, you were brought out by me alone. Remember when we were hunting in Shanglinyuan? , I just said that these hundreds of Yulin soldiers will all be generals in the future, and I believe in your strength."

He said, paused, and said with a smile: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, before it's time for you, Wei Qing, to appear, they are opening the way for you."

Wei Qing was a little surprised. He thought it was because he had no actual combat experience, so the emperor didn't send him there. Although Wei Qing never thought of leading the army, he could just let himself be a soldier.

What he never expected was that the emperor meant this.

Liu Che said: "The Huns are very stubborn, it is impossible to defeat them at once, and my thoughts are not on the frontier town at all, do you understand?"

Wei Qing didn't understand what he meant, Liu Che stood up, walked to the hanging map, and said, "Wei Qing, come and see, where do you think the real heart should be?"

Wei Qing stepped forward according to his words, looked at the map, finally fixed his eyes on Heshuo, and said, "Could it be that your majesty..."

Liu Che laughed suddenly, and said: "I want to drive the Huns back to their old den. Do you know how much I want to climb to the top of Ganquan Palace and look down at the Huns? They occupied Heshuo. Apart from I went to Ganquan Palace when I was young, but I never set foot in Ganquan Palace again."

Wei Qing said: "It's just... in a short time, if you want to subdue He Shuo, I'm afraid..."

Liu Che frowned and said, "I also know this truth. I didn't intend to swallow the Xiongnu in one go. Heshuo is a battleground for military strategists. It hangs above Chang'an. I can't sleep well."

After Liu Che finished speaking, he turned around and sat back down again, saying: "This is the first large-scale counterattack against the Huns, I want them to fight back! Then let you, Wei Qing, take advantage of this momentum to attack the Huns hard, rub Rub their prestige! Do you understand?"

Wei Qing quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "The humble general understands! The humble general will definitely not disgrace his life."

Liu Che said: "Of course I believe in you."

After Liu Che finished talking, Wei Qing withdrew, and Wei Zifu also withdrew taking the opportunity, caught up with Wei Qing, and said, "Brother, what did you say just now, but you didn't want to say it."

Wei Qing smiled and said, "It's hard for my sister to see it."

Wei Zifu said: "But what's important, I can help you talk about it."

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "Although it's an urgent matter, I can't tell the emperor..."

He seemed to be in a hurry, pulled Wei Zifu aside, and said in a low voice: "I endured and endured just now, so I didn't tell His Majesty that the mission of the 30 army to fight back against the Huns may be about to fail."

"What?" Wei Zifu was obviously a little surprised, and said, "The army just left, how did you know it was going to fail?"

Wei Qing said: "Sister, don't hesitate to think about it. 30 troops are going to ambush, let alone 30 horses, even 3000 people are too many. Ambush itself is a matter of caution. How can such a mighty Han army go? Be careful so as not to be known by the Huns? Moreover, the emperor sent troops with great fanfare this time, and did not act in secret, the Huns will definitely hear the news, and they are afraid that they will send out without success."

"This this……"

Wei Zifu seemed to understand, and said: "Do you think the Huns heard the news and ambushed the Han army instead?"

Wei Qing thought for a while, and then said: "This is very unlikely. After all, the Han army has 30 people. Even if the Huns heard the news, they just avoided fighting. It is impossible to come head-to-head."

Wei Zifu heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "I think it's better not to tell the emperor about this matter, the emperor is... now happy, if you say it, he doesn't like to listen, it will inevitably get angry and hurt you, he Definitely don't want to hear it!"

Wei Qing said: "I'm not afraid of getting angry. After all, I'm a courtier. It's understandable for the emperor to beat and scold me. I won't say it's because... the army has already set off, and it won't work anymore. Now I can only hope that the army will come back." Give the Xiongnu some momentum and let them understand that the attitude of the big man is not weak and easy to bully."

Wei Zifu said: "Brother, I think you should go back, don't mention this matter to the emperor, listen to me."

Wei Qing sighed, turned and left.

Liu Che was excited all night, and when he went to court the next day, he was doused with cold water. It wasn't that the Han army had brought bad news so quickly, but that when he arrived at Chengming Hall in the morning, he saw the Queen Mother's car. battle.

Liu Che thumped in his heart. The intention of the Queen Mother coming to Chengming Palace could not be more obvious. Isn't she just wanting to be the Empress Dowager and listen to the government before the court.

Liu Che walked in with a dark face, and all the officials followed into the Chengming Hall. The Queen Mother was already sitting beside the dragon seat, and said: "The emperor is here too, so let's go to court."

Although Liu Che wanted to question why the Queen Mother came to Chengming Hall, he couldn't question his mother in front of all the officials, so he had to hold back his tone and said, "Report something quickly."

An official in the court drafted a memorial to report the prime minister, Tian Fen, for occupying the property, but when he saw this posture, he froze immediately, and no one dared to come out.

The morning court retreated before a stick of incense. Liu Che did not leave immediately, but followed the Queen Mother to the East Palace.

Only then did he say: "Why did mother think to go to Chengming Hall? Uncle let you go there?"

The queen mother heard his temptation, and immediately said with a stern face: "What's the matter with your uncle? Mother wants to go and sit for a while, can't I? I raised you so much, not for you to challenge me, for you Uncle is embarrassing! Mother is afraid that you will do something stupid again, so she decided to go to court in the future."

When Liu Che heard that she was going to go, he held his breath in his heart, and after holding it for a long time, he said calmly, "Mother, why don't you discuss it with your son."

The queen mother said: "What does the emperor mean by this? Blame the mother for not discussing with you? I can see your figure. Tell me about yourself. You will never appear in front of me until the fifth day. They didn't come to talk to me, just ran to the Jiaofang Palace, they don't have a good thing in Dou's family, you know the emperor! Gillian relied on herself as the daughter of Dou Taizhu, and repeatedly said that the emperor you married He is the one who is in charge, have you forgotten? Now it’s good, he gave birth to a son, and you pampered him in every possible way, and many people praised Dou Ying. Today, mother will talk to you, as long as I’m here One day, the emperor will never allow you to make Liu Zheng the crown prince!"

"Mother!"

Liu Che's heart suddenly turned cold, the Queen Mother didn't give him a chance to speak, and said, "I'm doing this for your own good!"

The queen mother seemed to think of something, and said: "By the way, there is also the matter of your sending troops to the Huns, such a big matter, why didn't you mention it to your mother in advance, why didn't you discuss it with your uncle?"

With a cold face, Liu Che said immediately: "The matter of beating the Xiongnu is just like my mother treats the Dou family. My attitude will never change. I also hope that my mother can understand my son's painstaking efforts."

"you!"

The Queen Mother shouted: "Do you think it's the opposite?"

Liu Che said: "My son still has things to deal with, so I'm leaving first."

After Liu Che finished speaking, he turned around and strode out of the East Palace without even giving the Queen Mother time to react.

After Liu Che went out, the Queen Mother smashed the East Palace angrily, and the maids in the palace were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief, for fear of hurting herself.

When Liu Che returned to his bedroom, he swept all the memorials on the table to the ground. Wei Zifu was startled, and timidly picked them up, arranged them one by one and put them back, saying: "Why is Your Majesty so angry?" ? Be careful of the dragon body."

Liu Che didn't speak for a long time. What he wants to go now is Jiaofang Palace. After all, these matters related to the government, only when he told Ying Zheng that Liu Che felt that he was right. Although Wei Zifu is virtuous and gentle, he is always an ordinary person. A woman who knows nothing about government affairs.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wei Zifu actually didn't want to hear it. He just expressed his concern and quickly poured water for Liu Che to make him calm.

Liu Che sat for a while. Although he wanted to go to the Jiaofang Hall, he couldn't. After all, when he was in the East Palace just now, the Queen Mother had already given up her thoughts and refused to let the eldest son be the crown prince. But Liu Che personally agreed In politics, when Liu Ju grows up a bit, he will be canonized as the crown prince immediately.

If you say it, it is whoever poured it out, and it will be difficult to cover it, not to mention that an emperor should keep his promises, otherwise he will be laughed at.

But now Liu Che can't do anything. After going to the empress dowager, and then the queen dowager, Liu Che has lived in the shadow of women for half his life. Even if he ascends the throne, he must have a woman.What made Liu Che angry the most was that he himself was powerless to change the status quo.

Liu Che was silent for a while. He felt that his strength was still not enough. He suddenly thought of a sentence from his teacher Wei Wan. He needed to gather momentum. Only when he accumulated a certain amount of strength could he completely change the status quo.

Even if Ying Zheng was only sitting in the Jiaofang Hall, he had heard about the East Palace. The East Palace was so big and so many things had been smashed, how could Ying Zheng not hear the news.

What's more, the queen mother didn't seem to want to hide Yingzheng, she just wanted to show him off, anyway, there was no need for Mrs. Dou now, she just wanted to tell him that his son had no possibility of becoming the crown prince.

Dou Taizhu heard the news immediately, and was furious at the moment. It was so obvious that he was crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and he didn't miss the old love at all. Dou Taizhu mainly went to the palace to argue with the Queen Mother.

Chen Yu stopped her and said, "Mother, how are you going to reason? You want to tell the queen mother that if there is no Gillian, if there is no our Dou family, he Liu Che will not be the emperor at all? Mother, you are so straightforward, this Can you say it? You can’t say it at all. Now that the old lady is gone, if you say this again, the queen mother will definitely kill sister Gillian in the palace! She is now the queen mother and lives in the east palace. There is no one else, even the emperor is afraid of her three points, and she is already listening to the government."

Dou Taizhu was only angry for a while, she was blown away, thinking that her daughter is the queen, even the late emperor loved Gillian, so why should the son born to her daughter not be the heir apparent.

But what Chen Yu said was very reasonable. The Queen Mother hated the Dou family very much. If I went to argue with her at this time, it would only add fuel to the fire, and it would harm Gillian instead.

Dou Taizhu felt that he had been in the court all his life, and others had always flattered and fawned on him, but now that the empress dowager was gone, he would be nothing. This is really the most failed joke.

It was the turn of winter and spring, and the weather itself was changeable. In addition, Liu Che was depressed, everything was not going well, and he worried too much about the affairs of the 30 troops. Great sorrow and joy were inevitable, Liu Che felt a little dizzy Severely dizzy, he took a rest early, but the imperial doctor rushed to the bedroom in the middle of the night.

Afterwards, the morning court was also exempted once. It is said that the emperor was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor had gone to ask for pulse again and again, saying that he was too tired and asked to rest more so that he could recuperate for a while.

Tian Fu became the prime minister, if the emperor did not come to the court, then he would be the number one, and Tian Fu became very windy and rainy again for a while.

Although King Huainan went back to his fief, he left his daughter Liu Ling in the capital. Knowing that Tian Fu had been appointed prime minister, Liu Ling specially brought gifts to congratulate him.

Tian Fu personally went out to meet Liu Ling, welcomed her in, and said with a smile: "Master Liu Ling is a rare visitor, come in quickly, come in quickly."

Liu Ling rolled his eyes and gave it to Tian Fu, and said with a coquettish smile: "Your prime minister has a lot of things to do every day, and the little girl is afraid that the prime minister will dislike him!"

Tian Fu grabbed Liu Ling's hand, rubbed it back and forth in the palm of his hand, and led her into the hall. He didn't care whether there were any servants, so he pressed Liu Ling to the ground, untied her belt in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Master Weng wants to kill Tian."

Liu Ling stretched out his hand to push him away, and said with a smile, "What's the rush, someone is watching, it's embarrassing."

Tian Fu waved his hand and told all the servants to go down. After the servants withdrew, they also closed the door of the lobby.

Liu Ling smiled and said, "Master Prime Minister, don't be in a hurry, I still have something to talk to you about."

Tian Fu had no choice but to sit up and said, "What's the matter?"

Liu Ling said with a smile: "I heard that the emperor was ill and didn't even go to court in the morning."

Tian Fu gave a strange laugh, and said: "Yes, I'm sick, I'm sure I was frightened, the Queen Mother has shown her power, and the little emperor is still obedient."

Liu Ling poked Tian Fu and said with a smile, "You really have a way."

Tian Fu grabbed his hand, hugged him in his arms, and said, "That's natural. Now that the Empress Dowager is in court, everything is up to the Empress Dowager, but you know, women and Taoists can have their own opinions. It has been so many years since there was a Queen Lu, a Queen Dowager Dou, now it is said that everything is decided by the Queen Mother, but it is actually my opinion."

Liu Ling covered his mouth and smiled straight after hearing this, and said, "You are really amazing, this way our major affairs will be easier to handle."

"Big deal?"

Tian Fu suddenly asked a question, Liu Ling was stunned immediately, pushed Tian Fu away, turned cold, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is not a noble person who forgets too much, so quickly forgot the important thing you and my father said Is it gone?"

Tian Fu naturally remembered it, but he didn't want to remember it anymore. Now he wants the wind and the rain, and the queen mother is in power, but the queen mother listens to him, which is no different from being the emperor himself.

Although Tian Fu wants to control the government, he also knows himself. He is not made to be an emperor, and he has no intention of seeking to usurp the throne at all.

Tian Fu's position has been strengthened, and the money is coming in continuously. Naturally, he doesn't want to follow Huainan King to rebel in fear. After all, Liu Che is his own nephew, and it is impossible for him to harm his own relatives unless he has to protect himself as a last resort. Nephew isn't it.

Tian Fu wanted to stabilize Liu Ling. After all, although Liu Ling was born beautiful, she was no more than an ordinary woman, she didn't have the kindness of a woman, and her style of acting was somewhat ruthless. Tian Fu was afraid of her The dead fish and the net are broken, shouting everywhere.

He quickly smiled and said, "Why don't I remember? It's just that it's not the right time yet. Although the emperor is ill, the tiger charm is still in the emperor's hands. Don't forget, the tiger charm is a big disaster. The king of Huainan has always been cautious. Humans, surely they wouldn’t be so impatient? If you burn your mouth, there’s no second chance, right?”

Liu Ling snorted, it seemed that what he said made sense, Tian Fu was thinking of doing that kind of thing with Liu Ling in the face of beauty, so he said a few nice words to coax him.

The news of Liu Che's illness quickly spread to Jiaofang Hall, and Chu Fu said, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to visit the Emperor? That maid named Wei Zifu is by the Emperor's side every day, people say Don't worry about what kind of man he is, he's vulnerable when he's sick, be careful Wei Zifu got his way."

It's not that Ying Zheng doesn't know this truth, but he feels that instead of visiting a doctor at this time, it's better to speed up his plan. After all, it's not every time that Liu Che is bedridden.

It's just that Ying Zheng was afraid of speeding up the plan and making Liu Che aware of it. At that time, he would become suspicious. This visit is really an indispensable step. At least let Liu Che let go of his guard, so he can take action.

When Yingzheng passed by, Wei Zifu was serving Liu Che to drink medicine. Liu Che didn't look very good and kept coughing. Wei Zifu fed him the medicine and wiped the medicine stains from his mouth with his handkerchief , Waiting for Wei Zifu to finish all this, he got up, turned around and saw Ying Zheng, and was so panicked that he didn't know what to do, so he knelt down quickly, as if Ying Zheng was a terrible evil spirit, what to do to her As if trembling, he said: "Slave servant... Slave servant pays homage to the empress."

Hearing the voice, Liu Che stood up and looked out. It turned out that Ying Zheng was coming. Ying Zheng walked to the side of the dragon bed without even looking at Wei Zifu.

Liu Che was obviously very happy, and said, "Gillian, you're here, take a seat."

Ying Zheng sat down according to his words. After all, he was visiting a sick person this time, so he always wanted to ask, so he said: "Is the emperor feeling better recently? Don't be too serious about political affairs, just take it easy. If you slow down, your body is still important."

Hearing that he cared about him, Liu Che had a smile on his face, and said, "A-Jiao, if you can come here, I'm already more than half healed."

He said, paused, and said: "I also want to take it easy. I know that only when I am healthy can I compete with the government, but I just can't let go. There is no news about the 30 troops. How can I make people feel at ease?" .”

Ying Zheng laughed inwardly. If there was news, it would be bad news that would make things worse. Liu Che might as well not listen.

Ying Zheng said so, he said: "Even though you can relax, the generals you sent out this time are all veterans who have led the army, especially General Li Guang, the Huns are frightened by the news. Plus General Han is resourceful, there will be no problem."

Liu Che nodded, that's what he thought, but he could never have imagined that such a good plan, which he had carefully planned and thought out, would be ruined by Wang Hui.

In fact, Wang Hui can't be blamed entirely. It was Liu Che's previous deployment error, using 30 troops to make an impossible ambush, and Wang Hui delayed the fighter.

An army of 30 marched to the border town and transferred the border residents to other places. Then Li Guang laid an ambush inside and outside the city, waiting for the Huns to enter the urn and beat them severely.

Han Anguo also led his soldiers, preparing for the Huns to come, and overtook them from the rear. Cooperating with General Li Guang, they attacked the Huns back and forth and gave them a good meal.

It’s just that they thought too well, Li Guang left no Huns, right waited no Huns, and didn’t even see a Hun horse. Both Li Guang and Han Anguo were veterans who had fought in wars, so they immediately felt something was wrong.

Han Anguo asked someone to send a letter to Li Guang in the city, saying that he would lead his soldiers and horses to join Wang Hui and check the situation. If the Huns came, don't panic, his large troops will still surround Li Guang from behind. cooperating.

When Han Anguo led the troops, he saw Wang Hui, but there was no sign of the Huns. Wang Hui said that the Huns came, but they didn't go forward. They suddenly turned around and ran back.

No matter how stupid South Korea is, it can be understood that it must be Wang Hui and the others who ambushed wrongly, which made the Huns aware of the change, which made the Huns know that there was a large army stationed in front, so they withdrew their troops and went back.

Wang Hui only had [-] cavalry in his hands. Although he was an elite force, his opponent was the cavalry of the Huns. Wang Hui did not dare to use [-] soldiers and horses to fight against the Huns. When Han Anguo arrived, the Huns had already left for nearly half a day. .

Han Anguo was furious, and immediately led the cavalry he had brought, and chased forward, but after all, he did not see the shadow of the Huns.

This was a battle that Liu Che thought he was determined to win, but he didn't even see the battle, so it just died down.

Li Guang had a violent temper, and he was very angry at the moment. They spent so many days guarding the city, wasting manpower, material resources and food, and also transferred the border residents, but it turned out to be a joke.

Liu Che's health improved a bit, and it was time for the morning court again. If he didn't go, he might miss a major event, so he went to Chengming Palace with his sick body.

The Queen Mother was still the first to arrive, and she had already sat inside. All the ministers paid their respects and knelt and sat down in rows.

As the prime minister, Tian Fu was about to report the major events of these days when he saw a herald running to the front of the Chengming Hall. Wei Wei quickly walked into the hall and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, Li Guang, Han Anguo, and Wang Hui The general is back."

Immediately, Liu Che's eyes lit up, regardless of whether he was sick or not, he jumped up and said, "They're back? They must have brought good news to me! Spread it!"

Li Guang, Han Anguo and Wang Hui walked into the hall, knelt down to meet the emperor and queen mother, Liu Che excitedly made them flattened, the three stood up, but bowed their heads, and no one said a word.

The 30 army, even with their heads, can beat the crap out of the Huns who slaughtered the city, so Liu Che never thought that things would turn out like this. He also said: "You must have brought good news to me, didn't you? Hurry up, tell the ministers here in the Chengming Hall, how did you beat the Huns to the ground! All the men in my Han army are indomitable men, and they are not idiots who are oppressed by the Huns at will !"

The three of them couldn't lift their heads even more when they heard this. Rao Han Anguo and Wang Hui could speak, they were rare eloquent talents, and they couldn't find a way to tell Liu Che, after all, the emperor had given them too much expectations.

Still, Li Guang couldn't bear it any longer, he was blunt, suddenly raised his head, and said to Liu Che, "Your Majesty, we didn't see the Xiongnu at all!"

"what?"

Liu Che opened his eyes wide and said to Li Guang, "What did you say?"

Now that Li Guang has said it, he does not intend to hide it. After all, such a big matter cannot be concealed. He said: "It is true that the humble generals led their troops to ambush, but the Huns retreated halfway. The general didn't even see the shadow of the Huns!"

Liu Che only felt a "bang" in his head, as if something had collapsed. In front of all the ministers, since his first attack on the Huns was so funny, Liu Che's chest suddenly rushed up, his throat convulsed, and he wanted to cough.

Liu Che hurriedly covered it with his hands, but he just coughed, and there was blood. The Queen Mother was also startled, Liu Che was the closest to her, and the Queen Mother clearly saw Liu Che coughing up blood.

The Queen Mother immediately stood up and shouted: "Look for the imperial doctor! Find the imperial doctor!"

Liu Che stretched out his hand to stop him, he didn't want to find some imperial doctor, but now Liu Che's mind was in a turmoil, and the world was spinning for a while, and his eyes immediately went dark, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

The Empress Dowager cried out in surprise, watching Liu Che fall down suddenly, the servant next to him hurried over to help the emperor up, Wei Wei rushed in to help Liu Che away, and some servants stumbled and ran to find the imperial doctor.

The Chengming Hall was thrown into chaos, and the ministers were also making noises. No one had ever seen such a situation.

At this time, it was not over, and things made things worse again, the herald came outside the hall again, Wei Wei came in, because the emperor was not there, so he had to hand over the letter to the queen mother for review.

Although the Queen Mother is literate, she has not made much contribution to the government, so she can take a look at it. After all, the emperor fell ill, and the court must have a backbone to prevent chaos.

Although the queen mother complained that Liu Che never listened to her, she knew very well that only her son was safe and sound, and only Liu Che was the master who protected the court, so she could live in the East Palace and be the supreme woman.

The Queen Mother glanced at the letter, and could no longer pretend to be calm, she stood up abruptly, walked down the steps tremblingly, and handed the letter to Tian Fu for reading.

Seeing her frightened look, Tian Fu thought back that she was indeed a woman, but when he opened it, he was immediately dumbfounded.

This is a letter of war from the Huns.

Because the big man sent 30 troops, although he did not confront the Huns head-on, this has already shown the attitude of the big man towards the Huns. The Huns said that it was the Han who broke the peace between them, so they wanted to start a war against the Han and no longer accept what they sent Princess.

Tian Fu had never fought a war, so he didn't pay attention all of a sudden. If the Huns really invaded wantonly at this time, and the emperor couldn't afford it at this time, who would give orders?

Ying Zheng heard the news that Liu Che had fallen in the Chengming Palace, and Chu Fu quickly stumbled back and said, "Your Majesty! It's not good, the Chengming Palace is in great chaos now, and the Huns sent a letter of war." , Now the ministers have almost turned against each other, and have begun to blame the emperor for sending troops to fight the Huns!"

Ying Zheng was a little surprised when he heard that, what followed was not panic, but excitement, blood-boiling excitement, this is the opportunity God created for himself, sometimes when luck comes, nothing can stop it.

On Ying Zheng's face, he was very calm, and said, "Isn't there the queen mother and the prime minister?"

Chu Fu said: "What's the use of that! Both the queen mother and the prime minister can't hold back!"

Ying Zheng sneered, and said, "Prepare the car and go to Chengming Hall."

"Mother... Your Majesty?"

Although Chu Fu was surprised at first, he didn't know why the empress was going to Chengming Palace, and secondly, he was a little scared, after all, the place was in chaos now, but he still quickly recovered, without saying a word, and immediately asked people to prepare for it. The car battle is gone.

The Chengming Hall became a market, and now the Queen Mother and Tian Fu are in power, the remnants of the Dou family immediately stood up, saying that it was because of them that the imperial court was made into a mess, and when one person stood up to speak, the others seemed to have With confidence, people from different parties also stood up to join in the fun.

The queen mother was so angry that her chest was about to explode, she shouted: "Wei Wei! Detain them for me! Detain them! Reverse! Presumptuous! Really presumptuous!"

Wei Wei hadn't had time to move, but at this time he heard someone preaching that the Empress Empress had arrived.

When Ying Zheng walked into the Chengming Hall, the hall was quiet for a moment, but when everyone saw it, even the empress was just a woman, and they started to make noise again.

Ying Zheng didn't stop for a moment, he glanced coldly at the crowd, then stepped up the steps step by step, and walked to the side of the dragon seat.

The dragon seat symbolizes power and status, so it is naturally impossible for Yingzheng to sit on it without hesitation, he always has to work steadily step by step.

Everyone watched him go up, and for some reason, they all stopped shouting as if they were shocked.

Ying Zheng looked at the crowd in the main hall, sneered, and said loudly: "What? You think the emperor will be lawless when he is sick? Who made the rules, so that the Chengming Hall can make noise? Where did the ancestral system come from? Who was presumptuous just now? , do you have the guts to stand up again?"

As soon as his voice fell, no one dared to speak again.
