[Three Kingdoms] Heroine Cultivation Manual

Ah Chu's political acumen so far depends largely on her status as a "descendant".

Because looking at the world after a thousand years, you know the friction between eunuchs, relatives, and nobles; because you stand behind a thousand years, you dare to embarrass the incompetent and get close to the trustworthy.

Therefore, most people in this era behave even worse than Ah Chu.In the eyes of these people, in many cases, relatives and Qingliu are one.

Just like Dou Shi and Fu Shi.

This can be seen from people calling Dou Wu, Liu Shu, and Chen Fan the "Three Monarchs of the Eastern Han Dynasty".

Before Dou Wu's eldest daughter became the queen mother of Dou, and Dou's family was among the relatives, they had the same position as other gentry families, so they could easily get the support of Fu's and Chen's and other aristocratic families.

At that time, Dou Wu discussed with Chen Fan and other gentry to eliminate the eunuchs, and the eunuchs also observed them.

When Empress Dowager Dou was vacillating, they acted first and killed all the main participants of the incident through the hands of Emperor Liu Hong.

Later generations believed that the "disaster of the party's imprisonment" excluded honest officials and caused eunuchs to cause disasters in the village, which can be said to be the biggest reason for arousing public resentment.

All the scholars in the world were harmed by it, only Ah Chu knew about it, including the Xun family and the Fu family, not to mention those families that she could not get in touch with.

For example, Fu Gongming, the assistant general Dou Wu and Tai Fu Chen Fan wanted to remove the eunuchs and use the famous people in the world, and the Fu family in Runan was also on the list.

Afterwards, things failed, and the elders of the Fu family who were officials in the court were sent to prison and asked to be executed. Like most aristocratic families, the Fu family was devastated.

It's just that Ah Chu didn't expect that after so many years since the coup of [-], the Fu family would still not forget about it. Shi also pulled into the water.

——It was really fast and accurate.

At that time, when discussing the relationship behind this matter with Xun Yu, he casually mentioned that Mrs. Fu's style on this matter was quite familiar, similar to a friend of mine in Yingchuan.

Ah Chu wanted to ask again, but Xun Yu shook his head again: The Fu family is a noble from Runan, and there is indeed some distance between them and the poor scholars in Yingchuan.

Two names immediately popped up in Ah Chu's mind.

Then again.As Achu's parents mentioned in their conversation: In April of this year, the eunuch of the emperor agreed to sell his official position to fill his own pockets, and to serve as a servant.

Under such circumstances, Fu's insistence on neutrality seems even more shaky-although Xun Shuang did not make a big mistake, he was prepared to abandon his official position and flee when the party's misfortune broke out, and he resigned from his position and lived in Luoyang after he stayed with him; Completely opposed to traitorous officials, regretting that the emperor was surrounded, the eunuchs were of course even more dissatisfied.

Obviously, Fu Gongming also saw this.

Achu has fully realized that Fu Gongming wants to take advantage of his status as the prostitute of the Fu family and use the marriage proposal as an opportunity to push her family into a pit of fire.

After Fu Gongming strictly rejected the high expectations, he immediately proposed marriage to Fu's daughter with great fanfare. Even if the other party was only the youngest daughter of the chief executive, he didn't care. to the ranks of people.

Even if Fu Wan married Princess Yang'an, it doesn't matter if she should be the emperor.Because everyone knows well that the current emperor Liu Hong is a clan chosen by the Dou family from a collateral lineage, and has no blood relationship with the late emperor and the eldest princess.

Fu Gongming had a good plan: if Fu Wan accepts it, that would be great. With Fu's light, the Fu family can start again; it is even more likely that he will not accept it, but that doesn't matter, the eunuch has already treated Fu's family. Dissatisfaction is born, even if it is not expressed at this time, it is not known whether it will be framed in the future.

Once you are in the game, how can you get out easily?

In any case, with the Fu family who is related to the royal family, everything will be easy to talk about.

Ah Chu guessed so.

However, Xun Yu's speculation about Fu's thoughts seemed to be somewhat different from hers, but when Ah Chu asked, he didn't say anything clearly, and only told her to wait.Xun Yu told her that after so many days, your parents probably already have an idea.

Xun Yu was right, the parents did take action.

Mother took her to the palace.

Ah Chu changed into a formal long-sleeved robe today, and followed his mother step by step, shuttling through the Nangong Garden.

Many locust trees and catalpa trees were planted in the garden, and the leaves were still green in spring. Ah Chu walked and watched all the way, and couldn't help but think of the desolate scene he saw when he went all the way to Luoyang.

Rich family wine and meat, cold bones on the roadside.

Achu had already seen that Princess Yang'an didn't like Liu Hong very much in private, but after all, she was a woman from the palace, and she concealed it very well, even Achu who already knew the truth couldn't fault her.

Yesterday, my mother sent someone to pass a message to Huangmen, saying that she hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and she was thinking about it, so she brought Ah Chu to visit the emperor today.

As soon as the matter of selling officials came out, there were voices from all over the place. Liu Hong is now busy building his West Garden for pleasure, and he has lost a little patience with this cheap elder princess sister. After a while, he showed boredom .

Although the evaluation of him by later generations is extremely bad, an emperor who has the ability to use eunuchs to overthrow his relatives still has some ideas of his own.

It’s just that after the collapse of the Dou family, Liu Hong’s mind was no longer on ruling the country, or studying water conservancy, or reciting poems and odes, but more often thinking about how to fill his private treasury and satisfy his selfish desires. It's on my mind.

The small yellow gates of Shi Changshi's subordinates are all over the palace, and it can be said that there are eyeliners everywhere. Liu Hua secretly wondered whether Gao Wang's adopted daughter's marriage was not mentioned. It was difficult to deal with Fu's letter for a while.

Liu Hong didn't notice the elder sister's temptation, but just glanced at Ah Chu, praised her beautiful appearance, the Fu family is blessed, and looked away.

Ah Chu showed a smirk, lowered his head slightly, and pretended to be shy, but he was actually very annoyed, completely speechless about this feudal society that treated women as commodities and appearance as added value.

That's bad luck.If he was Yuan Shu, he would have stood there crying by now.

Princess Yang'an smiled sincerely, and she realized: Liu Hong doesn't care about Gao Wang's affairs.

It's not unusual to think about it. After all, an eunuch is an eunuch. It is already strange to want to marry after adopting a daughter. Could it be that he still wants the emperor's support?Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong and other top sycophants are still possible, but for the rest of them, it is better to calm down and be a slave with peace of mind.

To put it mildly, it means that he doesn't care about the eunuch's children's marriage. To put it too big, it means that the emperor has no time to take care of the eunuchs.

Liu Hua then changed the subject graciously, and then talked about the West Garden under construction, occasionally mentioning a word or two about Nangong.After a while, Liu Hong finally couldn't stand it any longer, and waved his hand:

"If the imperial sister wants to go to the West Garden or the South Palace, feel free to find any yellow gate in the palace and let him lead the way. I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

——I was waiting for your words.

Of course Liu Hua would not go to the West Garden, where the people's fat and people's anointment piled up.She took Ah Chu's hand and took her to Nangong.

The eldest princess is still the eldest princess for the sake of a woman.When Liu Hong gave the order to evict the guest, she walked out with a smile on her back, and then she pushed back the little yellow gate that was trying to keep up, and led Ah Chu into the main gate of the Nangong with a calm expression.

The North Palace is the emperor's residence, and the South Palace is the residence of the harem concubines. Liu Hua lived and grew up here when he was young, so he is not unfamiliar with it.She is leading her daughter with an elegant gait, but she is walking on a quiet and deserted path - the huge Luoyang Nangong, for her, is an old residence where she can find her way even with her eyes closed.

After walking for a long time, Liu Hua carefully pushed aside the bushes and locust tree leaves for his daughter, and stepped in. In the emptiness, he finally saw the tall building hidden in the shade of the trees.

Empress Dowager Dou was imprisoned in Nangong Yuntai.

She's been locked here for too long.It has been so long that even the person who locked her has forgotten the existence of this woman.

The family was almost torn apart, his father and brother were decapitated long ago, and his mother was also exiled to Vietnam. Liu Hong thought of her "graciousness of supporting her" and imprisoned this woman in Nangong, which was regarded as preferential treatment.

But what was she like?

Dou Miao is also the daughter of a famous family of officials and eunuchs. She has been doted on since she was a child, and her family background is prominent, just like most noble girls.This ordinary-looking woman with a noble status, like most noble women in history, was selected into the Ye court as a girl and made a nobleman, and fortunately waited until the former queen was deposed and became the new "Queen Dou".

If she is smart enough, she can happily wait for the emperor to die early like all the queen mothers in power in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and spend the rest of her life becoming the most noble woman in the world who has no man but has real power.

But Dou Miao didn't.

Aristocratic women in feudal society, the limitation of their times is that these women always think that they should rely on men.Her husband's love is more important than anything else - Dou Miao is extremely anxious about her ordinary appearance and her unfavored situation. She gritted her teeth and watched the emperor enter and exit her palace, and tried every means to retaliate against these women through the difference in status.

After the death of Emperor Huan, she beheaded Tian Sheng, the most favored daughter-in-law, and intended to attack several other nobles, but she was persuaded by the eunuch before giving up.Liu Hua's mother, the noble Jiang Shi, also died here.

At that time, Dou Miao was in the limelight.

This Empress Dowager Dou is really lucky and unlucky.

Fortunately, shortly after she became a nobleman, she successively became a queen and queen mother.With her honorable status, she can manipulate the young puppet emperor and control the power of the world;

Unfortunately, the times allowed her to only see men in power, and she had acquired power as a woman, but didn't know how to use it.If it weren't for her hesitation, the eunuch would not have found out the plan of Dou Wu and others so quickly, and the plan to kill the eunuch might be possible.

But Ah Chu felt that this was not her fault alone.

Ah Chu didn't know what her mother was thinking, but when she saw the woman with disheveled hair, plain clothes and pale face, she just felt terrified.

For a woman, she is most noble because her husband and son are noble, and she is most desolate because her father and elder brother are desolate.

She remembered very inappropriately that she should have a concubine named "Fu Shou" born two years later.

She will become the queen of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. She was humiliated because of Liu Xie's puppet status. She sent a letter to Fu Wan to kill Cao Cao.

... You see, this is their fate.

If she is passive, she will be buried with her brother, father and son; if she takes the initiative, she will be isolated and helpless, and finally become "the source of disaster".

Front, back, left, and right are all dead ends.

Ah Chu raised his head slightly, and Dou Miao's dull and haggard face came into view.

Under the dark brown drooping eyes was a light cyan, the woman's eyes had lost all emotion, her cheeks were sunken, and her pure color was white. With her plain clothes, she looked sluggish and regrettable.

Liu Hua patted Ah Chu on the shoulder, signaling her to pay attention to the movement around her, and must not let the eunuch notice them.

Ah Chu took a step back, pricking up his ears to listen to their conversation.

Because she was going to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, she had to dress grandly. Liu Hua wore a dark red dress, and applied makeup on her face, and the flowers between her eyebrows made her more beautiful.

She stared fixedly at Queen Mother Dou, who was once very noble, but did not want to leave a way for her mother to survive, her expression so indifferent that it seemed that it had nothing to do with her.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." She called out according to the etiquette, but she didn't salute, and took a step forward on her own.

Empress Dowager Dou looked calm, as if she had never heard of it.

"Today, I just want to ask the Empress Dowager." Liu Hua paused for a moment, then approached Dou Miao again, his voice was so soft that it was almost raving, "Fufeng Dou,..."

Ah Chu didn't hear what they said clearly.The mother spoke close to the Empress Dowager's ear, her voice was too low, and only Dou Miao could hear her.

Standing behind her, she only saw Dou Miao suffocate and her pupils shrank suddenly.
