#79Chapter 79 Emperor Wu's fifth year, the world is at peace
how?
Wang Zhaojun had only one reaction in her heart, which was "nothing".
Did she really want Jin Yu to come back and be made a lord by Liu Che because she missed her daughter? Of course not, it was just to show her power as the "Queen Mother".
But what does Chen Xi want her to do now?
Let her give up her current fame, fortune and wealth!
Go to the countryside and be an ordinary old woman!
She didn't want to do that.
It is okay to sacrifice the interests of others, but it is not okay to sacrifice your own interests. This is also the inner thinking of most people with such double standards.
Wang Zhaojun had experienced the sufferings of the people, and she knew how bitter those sufferings were.
She had finally made it through all these years and was now able to enjoy herself. Why was she supposed to suffer now? Forget it.
She laughed awkwardly, "I am the Empress Dowager, the late Emperor's widow. How could I possibly go to those places? Wouldn't that be disgraceful to the late Emperor?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xi sneered and said with a mocking tone, "You bitch, you still care about the late emperor's face? Then why didn't you care about the late emperor's face when you wanted to make someone who was not one of the late emperor's descendants a lord or princess, and even forced His Majesty to acknowledge her as your sister?!"
Taking advantage of the fact that he was "drunk", Chen Xi spoke without reservation, calling the woman "slut" and "slut" at every turn, as if he had completely forgotten that the woman in front of him was the honored empress dowager of the Han Dynasty.
The maids around looked at each other, and none of them dared to speak.
The grass on the grave of the maid who had spoken in front of these big shots last time was now three feet high, so they naturally didn't dare to move.
Zhou Yafu also said sarcastically: "Mr. Chen, isn't that what these people are like?"
"After living a good life for so long, she thought it was all due to her own efforts, and she felt she was supreme! Little did she know that if Liu's blood hadn't crawled out of her belly, who would she be?"
"There are so many people in this palace who are willing to bear the Liu bloodline!"
The two of them were mocking each other, and the Queen Mother's blood pressure was about to soar, but at this time she dared not say anything. She just lowered her head, with anger and resentment in her eyes.
After Chen Xi finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Since the Queen Mother is unwilling to be with a commoner's daughter, then she should stay in Changxin Palace obediently!"
He said indifferently: "As for Tian Fen?"
The coldness in Chen Xi's brows was like the frost in the coldest days of winter. "If he can't persuade the Queen Mother, and can't make her feel at ease, then there's no need for him to inherit the title of Marquis Cheng'en!"
Wang Zhaojun suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with shock and fear.
"What does this mean?"
Chen Xi smiled faintly: "What does it mean? It means that the Queen Mother's lackeys in the court will be eliminated in the future!"
He said mercilessly: "If something like this happens again next time, it won't just be like this!"
Chen Xi's meaning was very simple. I may only be able to scold you as the Queen Mother, but you have many weaknesses - this time I only stripped the title of your brother from your mother's side, but next time it might be the nine clans of the Tian family!
Wang Zhi's hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, a gloomy expression flickering on her face: "You dare!"
Chen Xi laughed dumbly when he heard this, and then glanced at Wang Zhi: "Do I dare?"
He raised the long sword in his hand and said: "If the Queen Mother doesn't believe me, I can go and ask for Tian Fen's head right now!"
Wang Zhaojun looked at Chen Xi silently. She saw solemnity and determination in Chen Xi's eyes. She understood that Chen Xi was pretending to be drunk at this time, but he was not actually drunk. But... would the emperor care?
Even if Chen Xi really killed her brother at this time, the emperor would probably say something like "Marquis Guandu was drunk and made a mistake, so this is just a light punishment and a serious warning"!
She slowly closed her eyes: "I understand."
Chen Xi just glanced at her, not caring about the sadness and grief emanating from her. The Queen Mother should just stay in the harem! Don't have any stupid ideas!
The same thing.
The previous dynasty belongs to the previous dynasty, and the empress dowager belongs to the empress dowager!
.... .....
In the second year of Emperor Wu's reign, Queen Mother Wang quickly calmed down after a short period of stirring up trouble. Marquis Cheng'en was stripped of his title, and the incident of drunkenly entering the palace with a sword to threaten the Queen Mother was suppressed. The drunken Marquis Guandu was even only reprimanded by the emperor.
After giving two final reprimands, Emperor Wu added more than a thousand households to the Marquis of Guandu in order to appease him, which was better than nothing for the Chen family.
This also shows how much Guandu Hou was favored.
.... .....
In the fourth year of Emperor Wu's reign, the once prosperous Dou family gradually withdrew from the stage of history. There were some secrets that no one knew about this - it seemed that Dou Ying, the head of the Dou family, offended the emperor for some unknown reason and was scolded by the emperor.
Dou Ying not only refused to accept the insult, but even asked the emperor to strip him of all his positions and finally retired to his hometown.
After Dou Ying retired and returned to his hometown, the next generation of the Dou family strangely gained the emperor's trust. The next generation of the Dou family had already gone to the local area to serve as county magistrate, while the eldest son stayed in Chang'an City and inherited Dou Ying's title.
Although the Dou family had lost its status as a first-class family in Chang'an, it became a second-tier family in Chang'an City, just like the Zhang family left by Zhang Liang.
After all, they had connections in the local area, and in Chang'an, they also held titles and official positions, so they were not completely separated from the central power structure.
No one knows why this happened, only the Dou family knows.
Because...Empress Dowager Dou is seriously ill and only has a few years left to live, so they need to make plans as soon as possible.
When the Empress Dowager was still alive, they naturally had a way out, but once the Empress Dowager died, these so-called incense and incense feelings completely disappeared.
The four years of Emperor Wu's reign passed in the blink of an eye.
However, Emperor Wu was reluctant to take power personally. This was not because the clans in power were unwilling, but because Emperor Wu was unwilling.
.... ...
Weiyang Palace
Chen Xi, Chen Qing and Zhou Yafu were all there. They held their foreheads and looked at Liu Che in front of them with helpless and collapsed expressions on their faces, as if they were looking at a naughty child.
"His Majesty!"
Chen Xi looked at Emperor Wu coldly and said, "How can you refuse to rule the country at this late hour? You have already been crowned!"
"It's time to take charge!"
Emperor Wu simply looked unconcerned. He waved his hand and said, "Lord Chen, the world is now peaceful and prosperous under your governance. What's wrong with me wanting to play for a few more years?"
He sighed and said, "It's so difficult for me. There is not even a child born in the palace yet!"
