Empress Dowager Dou's funeral was very grand, and all the nobles in Chang'an City went to see her off.

There is no doubt that Wang Xiao is the most eye-catching target.

Because after Empress Dowager Dou moved into Baling, he was the only one in the Han sky.

Almost everyone's eyes looked at Wang Xiao were full of enthusiasm, and they longed for themselves and their family to be able to hold this golden thigh and become a pendant on Wang Xiao's legs.

There is only one exception, that is the Queen Mother of the King.

Wang Shi was expressionless along the way, and looked at Wang Xiao’s back with anger in his eyes.

The reason is very simple. Wang Zhi had previously proposed to let Tian Fu come back to attend the funeral of Empress Dowager Dou.

The apparent reason is naturally that the dead are the most important thing. But in fact, it is to let Tian Fu take the opportunity to return to Chang'an City, the power center.

Among Wang Zhi's brothers, only Tian Fu has some ability.

Several of them, such as Wang Xin and Tian Sheng, are all very wasteful. The only result of using them to seize power is to become the source of jokes for the people of Chang'an City after dinner.

But Wang Xiao refused this request without hesitation and made it clear that if Tian Feng violated the order and left his hometown and came to Chang'an City, no one could save him this time.

Wang Xiao was so decisive and did not hide his defense at all, which naturally made Wang Xuan angry.

Although this woman has a very low background, she has great ambitions.

She wanted to become a person like Empress Lu, and she became the governor of the world by admiring the dynasty.

Even if it is not good, it must be Empress Dowager Dou, who monopolizes the power to abolish the emperor.

Wang Zhi is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart. Otherwise, she would not have cheated Su Ji and Liu Rong to death back then.

She knew that the Empress Dowager wanted to take power, on the one hand, she had to control the military power, and on the other hand, she had to have her own brothers and relatives, and speak in the court with weight.

She had failed the first attempt. Not only did she fail to get the tiger talisman, but more importantly, Wang Xiao rejected his proposal to replace Changle Palace Wei Cheng Bushi.

Cheng Bushi was Empress Dowager Dou's confidant, and was the military force of Changle Palace, commander of Changle Weiwei.

It is absolutely impossible for the queens and queens of later generations to have the opportunity to get involved in military power, but in the Han Dynasty, the queens control the military power when they appear, and the armed force that belongs directly to them is the guardians of Changle Palace.

Wang Zhi wanted to remove Cheng Bushi because she wanted to move into Changle Palace and then began to take over the military power of Changle Palace.

But Wang Xiao didn't give her this opportunity at all, and still handed over the military theory of Changle Palace to Cheng Bushi's hands.

Wang Xi either asked Wang Xiao to replace Cheng Bushi, or bribe Cheng Bushi. But she couldn't understand these two paths, and Cheng Bushi looked down on her at all.

By the way, the Weiyang Palace Weiwei was Li Guang, who was difficult to be named Li Guang.

The reason why he was difficult to be a marquis was not his personal ability, but his lack of political acumen.

During the rebellion of the Seven Kings, he foolishly accepted the military talisman of King Liang Liu Wu and became the commander of the Liang State. I really don’t know how stupid he was to do it.

He was rejected if he wanted to retrieve Tian Fen, and he also refused if he wanted to collect the military power of Changle Palace.

In this case, if Wang Xiao can still have a good face, Wang Xiao has to really think about it seriously.

Seeing the heavy Broken Dragon Stone of Baling rumbling down, Wang Xiao's eyes couldn't help but look towards Maoling.

He clenched his fists hard and thought to himself, "I will never move in!"

Baling is surrounded by mountains and rivers, right by the Ba River. Moreover, Baling is very prosperous, and there are many royal tenants responsible for guarding the gardens. It is not a grievance to live in to accompany Emperor Wen of Han.

After returning to Weiyang Palace, Wang Xiao’s first order was to ask Wei Qing to return to the court immediately.

Before, Wei Qing had been stationed in the South Vietnamese area with his army to suppress the local area.

Now, it's time for him to come back.

When Wang Xiao was preparing to show his strength here, Wang Shi was still unwilling to give up. She even broke up with Wang Xiao and took the initiative to appear during the grand ceremony.

At the dynasty meeting, the ministers watched Wang Shi walk in in surprise, and then their eyes turned to Wang Xiao.

It is not uncommon for the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty to appear at the court meeting. Empress Lü even came to the court to be the commander.

But the deterioration of the relationship between Wang Xiao and Wang Shi had already spread throughout Chang'an City. Now Wang Shi suddenly appeared in such an important place at this important point in time, and it was naturally regarded by everyone as a provocation to the emperor.

Wang Xiao didn't say anything, but just looked at Wang Shi with a slightly cold look.

Facing Wang Xiao's gaze, Wang Zheng, who was already full of confidence, was shocked for no reason.

That look was so scary.

However, since she has arrived here, if she doesn't want to stay in Changle Palace for the rest of her life, she can only move forward and not backward.

Wang Shi, who took a deep breath, looked at Prime Minister Dou Ying, "Prime Minister, I want Tian Fu to come back and continue to be the Grand Marshal. What do you think?"

Dou Ying's scalp was numb, and he thought to himself that the Queen Mother Dou had just left, and the Queen Mother Wang started to be a demon here. This was clearly because she wanted to suppress the emperor to seize power.

In fact, what he didn't know was that if Wang Xiao had not rejected the Queen Mother's request before, what Wang Zheng proposed would not have asked Tian Fu to come back to be the Grand Marshal, but to be the Prime Minister directly.

"The emperor should decide this matter with just one word."

Dou Ying responded carefully, "I dare not speak nonsense."

He also knew that after Empress Dowager Dou moved from Changle Palace to Baling, the biggest backer of the Dou family was gone. So when the Empress Dowager fought for power with the emperor, he chose to kick the ball to Wang Xiao.

In front of the civil and military officials of the court, the Queen Mother shouted loudly to Wang Xiao, "Tian Feng is still your uncle, are you still my mother in your eyes? Today, you just say no in front of everyone, and I will go back to Changle Palace and never come out in my life!"

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Although the emperor had great power, he had to be an example for all people in the world in terms of filial piety.

If the empress dowager gives any order and the emperor dares to disobey his order, he will be unfilial.

Not only will he be advised by the ministers, but he will also be laughed at by the people of the world.

To put it bluntly, it is reputation suppression.

And the Han Dynasty was an era where he could die for his reputation.

The ministers around them all looked different and showed a look of watching the fun.

The Queen Mother is using filial piety to force the palace. If the emperor does not agree, it will have a great impact on reputation.

In this era, the transportation and communication were extremely backward, and they were so backward that communication was basically tyrannical.

For the local people, they would not know the swords and shadows in the palace struggle, nor would they understand who is the good and who is the bad.

The simple Han people have very simple standards for judging things, and those who are unfilial must be bad people.

Since the founding of the country, the Han Dynasty used the Huang-Lao School idea to advocate filial piety to govern the country. Because for the elderly, promoting filial piety is the most beneficial to them.

After decades of subtle influence, this matter has really become a consensus among all the people.

The people in the world will not understand how great Wang Zhi's ambition is, and how shameless Tian Fu is. They will only see if the emperor is filial.

In this environment, Wang Xiao suddenly laughed in response to Wang Shi's aggressive gaze.

"Okay, then let him come back and be the Grand Marshal."

Wang Xiao’s current identity is the Emperor of Han, not the Sword Immortal of Shushan. So he could not have been rampant in the world with a sword.

Since you are the emperor, you must use the emperor's means to deal with things.

"Since you have become the Grand Marshal of the Great Han Dynasty, you have to be in his position to do his own affairs. If you do something that will harm the interests of the Great Han Dynasty, then no one's younger brother can do it."

There were many relatives who were slaughtered in the history of the Han Dynasty, so Zhu Lu would not mention it. There was Bo Zhao before. If it weren't for Wang Xiao, there would be Dou Ying and so on in the future.

He already said this very clearly. You should use filial piety to suppress me and give Tian Feng a chance to make a comeback.

Yes, in this kind of righteous suppression standing on the commanding heights of morality, Wang Xiao chose to obey the trend of the times.

However, this does not mean that filial piety suppression is unsolvable.

Since Tian Fu became the Grand Marshal, he had to do the job well. Once any mistakes occur, he had to assume the corresponding responsibilities.

Back then, Bo Zhao was forced to death by the officials crying in front of the gate, what can you be considered?

Wang Shi was very clear about Tian Fu's ability, and Wang Xiao had already made a secret suggestion, which would stumbling on him. It can be said that his future form is very unoptimistic.

But now that things have reached this point, she has no room for retreat.

When you retreat at this time, you will be able to be arrogant and prosperous in Changle Palace, and you will never have a chance to make a comeback.

Ambition defeated reason, and Wang Shi turned around and left the dynasty with the pride of the winner.

When Wang Xi left, Wang Xiao immediately said to Dou Ying, "After the Taiwei comes back, you should pay more attention to the relevant work. If any mistakes occur, you must point them out as soon as possible and correct them. You cannot affect the interests of the Han Dynasty due to personal reasons."

This is actually a hint that Dou Ying will stumble on him after Tian Feng comes back and get him done as soon as possible!

Dou Ying smiled bitterly. He really didn't want to participate in such things.

Because no matter which side of help, it is a thankless ending.

But who made him the prime minister? As Wang Xiao said, since he was in this position, he had to do the corresponding things.

Otherwise, you are not qualified to sit here.

Although Wang Zhi forced the palace to be a big deal, it became a topic of conversation after dinner in Chang'an City for a long time.

But Wang Xiao is nothing to do.

Tian Fu himself is not upright, so it is easy for him to clear him. At that time, the Queen Mother lost the support point in the previous dynasty and no longer had the ability to jump around.

What really attracted Wang Xiao's attention was the improvement of the national strength and military strength of the Han Dynasty.

If you want to fight the Huns, powerful cavalry are essential.

For the Han Dynasty, if you want to form a powerful cavalry unit, what you lack is not the warriors who dare to fight, but the lack of a large number of war horses.

It is not the Thomas that can be used to cultivate land and pull carriages, but real war horses that can go deep into the grassland and run hundreds of miles to fight.
