But what if there is no eunuch?Our foreign relatives have become the thorn in the eyes of the scholars.The emperor relied on the scholars, so couldn't he regain his power? "

"No, no." Dou Wu shook his head confidently, and said, "I am one of the three gentlemen, respected by everyone. How could they betray me? Besides..."

Dou Wu smiled coldly, and said: "Even if I really come to that step, so what if I am a domineering general?"

"Domineering General" Liang Ji has been in charge of the Han Dynasty for decades, and everyone in the world looks at him.However, if Liu Zhi hadn't endured for 13 years and relied on eunuchs to launch a coup, Liang Ji would still continue to be arrogant.

If the original Liu Zhi hadn't had the help of the eunuchs...

"Domineering General..."

Dou Wu's words finally moved Dou Miao a little, and said: "My lord's words are also reasonable. How about this, you go back first. I will immediately issue an edict to restore Liu Yan's position as General of Zhengxi and Champion Marquis, and Make him the shepherd of Liangzhou. As for the matter of killing all the eunuchs... let my daughter think about it carefully."

"Then... I will retire!"

"Sister, I will also go back with my father."

Dou Wu and Dou Chan bid farewell and went home together.

In Dou Wu's thinking, the daughter will always listen to her.It won't be long before I can completely kill the eunuch's great cause!

However, what Dou Wu never expected was that.Not long after he left the palace, his plans were inadvertently leaked by the Empress Dowager Dou Miao.

A shocking change, a boundless sea of ​​blood, is right in front of...!

Chapter 131 Zhang Huan Regrets: I Regret I Didn't Listen to the Champion Hou's Words

Dou Miao's leak was both accidental and inevitable.

It was accidental because Dou Miao was hesitant about Dou Wu's plan and chose a trusted court lady named Wei Jiao to discuss.

The Dou family just wants to kill all the eunuchs, what does it have to do with the maids?Ordinarily, it is not a big mistake.

It is inevitable because the Eastern Han Dynasty passed through more than 100 years of alternating dictatorships between eunuchs and foreign relatives.

The maids and eunuchs have already tasted the sweetness of sharing the imperial power, and they have become one.

Wei Jiao immediately told the matter to her good friend Zhu Yu, the eunuch.

Ever since, seventeen eunuchs, including Zhu Yu, Wang Fu, Cao Jie, Zhu Yu, Gong Pu, and Zhang Liang, made a blood alliance that night and planned to launch a coup to wipe out the entire family of the foreign relatives Dou's family.

Is it possible for a group of eunuchs to kill the empress dowager, who is the highest authority in the current empire, and the general who is in charge of the country's military power?

There is indeed such a one-in-a-million possibility!

This one-ten-thousandth possibility is... Jiaozhao.

At this time, the emperor Liu Hong, who was called Hanling Emperor by later generations, was only 13 years old, and he was ignorant of imperial power.

The seventeen eunuchs knew that if they directly accused the Dou family of treason, the 13-year-old would either be so frightened that he surrendered directly, or hesitated.

Therefore, they vaguely said to Liu Hong: "You are underestimated outside, please go to Deyang Hall to show the majesty of the emperor."

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Hong pulled out the emperor's saber, flaunted his might, and summoned the officials of Shangshutai to enter the Deyang Hall.

It was only then that Wang Fu, Cao Jie and others framed the Dou family for treason in the Deyang Palace, and threatened the officials of Shangshutai with white knives, asking them to write the emperor's imperial edict and appoint the eunuch Wang Fu as the order of the Huangmen.

As for Emperor Liu Hong?At this time, he was already trembling with fear, not knowing what to do, and no one asked for his opinion at all.

The imperial edict was completed, and Wang Fu was the order of the Huangmen, in charge of the military power of the palace.

Then, Wang Fu led the guards to the Changqiu Palace, detained the Empress Dowager Dou Miao, and snatched the emperor's seal kept by Dou Miao.

This completed the most critical step of the coup.

Liu Hong was young and had the name of the emperor, but he had no real authority as the emperor. The seal of the emperor was in charge of the empress dowager Dou Miao.

Strictly speaking, the imperial edict appointing Wang Fu as Huangmen Ling just now is illegal.

But now, the eunuchs have mastered the seal of the emperor.Before the world realizes that the emperor can't control the emperor's seal, they have actually mastered the supreme imperial power, and whatever they do is legal!

Afterwards, Wang Fu directly corrected the imperial edict, mobilized the Habayashi army, surrounded the mansion of the general Dou Wu, and forced Dou Wu to commit suicide.

Of course Dou Wu would not obey the imperial edict, and led hundreds of cronies to break out of the siege and come to the barracks of the fifth lieutenant of the Northern Army.

The director of the Northern Army's fifth school lieutenant's barracks is Dou Shao, Dou Wu's nephew.

At this point, a shocking coup has reached a stalemate.

Habayashi Army vs Northern Army Fifth School Wei Army, who loses and who wins?

Wang Fu and others were moved in their hearts, and tried again to find Zhang Huan, a famous general who had just arrived in Luoyang.

……

What is the situation facing Zhang Huan now?

First, the so-called current empress dowager and general have no blood relationship with the 13-year-old emperor.

Second, there are precedents of the domineering general Liang Ji and others, and Zhang Huan has sufficient reasons to suspect that the queen mother and the general are not good for the emperor.

Thirdly, there are eunuchs who come here with formal formalities of the emperor's edict, demanding that Zhang Huan lead the Biaohu army to kill the rebellious officials and thieves.

Does Zhang Huan have other options?

Immediately, Zhang Huan, the world's first-class military general, led his famous Biaohu army into the battlefield.

Zhang Huan and Biaohu's army are extremely powerful.With their joining, the five lieutenant troops of the Northern Army suddenly ran out and surrendered one after another.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Dou Wu committed suicide in the barracks!

However, just when Zhang Huan was immersed in the beautiful imagination of suppressing the rebellion and leaving his name in history, a heinous killing began.

Dou Wu's guests and relatives should all be killed!

Attendant Liu Yu and Tunqi School Captain Feng Shu were massacred!

At that time, Taiwei Chen Fan, his subordinate officials, and more than [-] students and disciples were executed!

From Sangong and Jiuqing down, all officials recommended by Chen Fan and Dou Wu, as well as their students, disciples and former subordinates, were all removed from office!

For a time, most of the official positions in the court and all the military power in Luoyang were controlled by the eunuch's cronies.

No matter how stupid Zhang Huan was at this time, he understood that something was wrong—Dou Wu rebelled, and the emperor wanted to kill him, which is understandable.

However, it is obvious that these following actions are the rhythm of killing all eunuchs and scholars!The emperor can't rely on a group of eunuchs without talent and virtue to rule the country, can he?

At this moment, his old friend Da Sinonong Huangfugui visited and told him the truth of the matter.

"General Zhang, you are so confused! Dou Wu is one of the three lords of our scholars. If he wants to rebel, we scholars will be the first to refuse!

The fact is this, the Son of Heaven was young and ignorant, and was bullied by the eunuchs... The purpose of General Dou Wu is to kill all the eunuchs... Brother Zhang, you have accidentally become an accomplice of the eunuchs, I am afraid you will be reviled by the world! "

"what?"

Zhang Huan had already noticed that something was wrong.

Now, after understanding the cause and effect, my head "hummed" for a moment, so I didn't faint on the spot!

It must be explained that the three parties that supported the state affairs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, scholars, eunuchs, and relatives, did not have any good things.

Scholars held a large amount of land and the population did not pay taxes, so that the finances of the Eastern Han Dynasty were only [-]% of those of the Western Han Dynasty. Could it be a good thing?

However, compared to relatives and eunuchs, they are simply pure angels.

The foreign relative Liang Ji even poisoned the emperor to death!

Not to mention eunuchs, they and their relatives have no shame, bullying men and women, extorting, extorting, and plundering, they do all kinds of evil, and they can turn a county into a hell on earth.

For example: Scholars are hypocrites, relatives are villains, and eunuchs are not human!

Therefore, the scholars now really represent the side of justice.

In fact, Zhang Huan himself was one of the leaders of the scholars.

The ideal of the scholars has always been to kill the eunuchs - Dou Wu's killing of the eunuchs is for the Liang family to enjoy wealth forever.

The reason why the scholars urged Dou Wu to do this is that every time the eunuchs were in power, those things they did were worse than Liang Ji poisoning the emperor, and even the scholars couldn't bear it.

Therefore, it is also Zhang Huan's ideal to kill all the eunuchs!

Now, how far has the fact developed?

Through the hands of Zhang Huan, the eunuch launched a shocking coup, wiped out all the scholars and relatives, and took full control of the government.

Dahan is about to usher in the darkest hour!

"So, I, Zhang Huan, was a hero for the country and the people, but now I have become the sinner of the scholars! I have become the biggest sinner in the Han Dynasty!

Become the biggest sinner of the Han people!I... I am about to be scolded by all ages... I am about to be infamous for thousands of years... Wow! "

Zhang Huan couldn't take it anymore, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and shouted: "I shouldn't have entered Luoyang! I regret it, I shouldn't have listened to the words of the champion!"

Chapter 132 Empress Dowager Dou Miao, Regret Even More

Three days later, Nangong Yuntai, the palace where Empress Dowager Dou Miao lived.

That's right, it is Nangong Yuntai!

The palace where the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty should live is the Changqiu Palace.However, isn't Dou Miao completely out of power now?

She has been forced by the eunuchs to move to the cold palace of Nangong, with only four trusted eunuchs and maids serving her.

In fact, these four eunuchs and maids are not very respectful to the so-called queen mother now.

Dou Miao suddenly fell from being the supreme power controller of the empire to where she is today, feeling extremely depressed.

Now, she was sitting motionless on the throne, dazed, her eyes glazed over, as if she had aged more than ten years.

Suddenly, creaking——

The door of Yuntai Hall opened, and an eunuch walked into the hall.

"Slave Wang Fu, see the Queen Mother!"

"Wang...Fu!"

Seeing this eunuch whom she regarded as an ant before, Dou Miao was both afraid and angry.

What is frightening is that she only found out three days ago that Wang Fu's flattery and prudence towards her before was a complete disguise.

In fact, this person has no respect for himself, he is simply a wolf in human skin!

What made her angry was that it was Wang Fu who personally took away the emperor's seal from him, and also took away everything that belonged to him!

"Wang Fu!" Dou Miao's voice seemed to come from the [-]th hell, full of resentment and coldness: "Are you here to kill me? Do it! I, Dou Miao, will never let go even if I turn into a ghost." Pass you!"

Wang Fu stood up on his own initiative, and said with a sneer, "Queen Mother, you are too ignorant of current affairs when you say that? In your current situation, what good will it do you to tear yourself apart with your servants?"

Dou Miao snorted coldly, and said, "Could it be that we haven't broken our face yet? Could it be that you, Wang Fu, don't want to put me to death?"

Wang Fu shrugged his shoulders and said, "There seems to be some truth in what the queen mother said. This servant has already offended you severely, and I really don't want you to continue living.

But why, His Majesty does not agree!He said that thanks to the kindness of the queen mother, he was able to become the emperor, and he could not be ungrateful. "

Dou Miao said disdainfully: "Now that you are in power, you still care about that child's opinion?"

"No, Empress Dowager, what you said is wrong." Wang Fu said: "We eunuchs, can our papers compare with the great scholars of the world? Can we compare with military veterans in martial arts? The only reliance is the emperor.

If the emperor does not recognize us, do you believe it or not, the scholars can kill us eunuchs with a random army? "

This is true.

Again, the strength of the big man is probably in the hands of scholars rather than the court.

If the eunuch does not have the emperor's endorsement, he is really nothing,

Now, the eunuchs have created established facts with lightning speed.Then, they persuaded the emperor to ratify their actions afterwards, which stabilized the situation.The scholars could only pinch their noses to recognize it.

If there is no post-recognition from the emperor... I am afraid that the next one who will be killed will really be the eunuch!

Therefore, scholars and foreign relatives can disrespect the emperor's opinion, but eunuchs cannot!

The eunuchs can only induce the emperor from all aspects and act according to their wishes.As long as the emperor has made up his mind, even if the eunuchs are unwilling, they can only obey.

This is why, every time the power of foreign relatives is overwhelmed, the emperor can rely on the eunuchs to regain power.

In a word: the greatest strength of eunuchs is their attachment to the imperial power.Anyone can betray the emperor, except eunuchs!

Dou Miaochang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So, thanks to the emperor's blessing, can I live a little longer?"

"Where did the Queen Mother come from? Your Majesty said that not only are you safe and sound. Moreover, you are still my empress dowager, but you can't go back to Changqiu Palace. After all, the nobleman of Shenyuan likes Changqiu Palace very much."

Dong Shi, a nobleman in Shenyuan, is the biological mother of Emperor Liu Hong.
