Deyang Palace.
Today, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, put on his robes and crown and attended the court meeting accompanied by Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and a group of eunuchs.
In the main hall, civil officials and military officers were seated on both sides, with an air of solemnity and awe.
Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, sat on the dragon throne, and all officials bowed down and kowtowed to him.
Looking at the group of officials bowing and saluting, Emperor Ling of Han said with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Stand up."
The reason why Liu Hong felt complicated was because the emperor discovered for the first time that there were too few officials in the hall.
There were so few people that not even the main hall was full.
The reason for this situation is naturally because of the party's imprisonment.
Naturally, all the officials had no idea what Emperor Ling of Han was thinking while sitting on the dragon throne.
They just felt that Emperor Ling of Han was a little uncomfortable with the solemnity today.
After all, this emperor is usually too out of touch.
Today is indeed a bit abnormal.
Not to mention why the two eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were still used to attending court meetings.
What new scheme have these eunuchs come up with?
When these officials thought of this, they looked at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong with eyes filled with anger.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, noticing the looks of these officials, were too lazy to glare back.
Just when everyone was thinking different things, Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, who was sitting on the throne, slowly stood up and spoke.
"I was deceived by the traitors and imprisoned the party members, which almost caused a disaster."
"The wise and talented party members in the world have suffered this unprovoked disaster for a long time, and I feel pity for them."
"Today I will grant amnesty to all party members in the world!"
"The prisoners should be released, given fine clothes, and rewarded with gold and silk."
"Those who have resigned from their posts should have their official posts restored and be given fine clothes."
"The decree that party members cannot hold office is abolished from today!"
Liu Hong's voice was low but firm, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.
Suddenly, the officials present were stunned and couldn't believe their ears.
Then he reacted and was overjoyed.
Some even cried with joy and burst into tears.
Your Majesty has finally lifted the ban on political parties. What a good emperor!
I knew that Your Majesty had been bewitched by traitors before!
Is His Majesty finally Smelling Salts?
These officials were so excited that they were celebrating.
After being happy, they began to feel that something was wrong.
Oh, I see.
Why are the two eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong so quiet today? They don't show any intention of jumping out to stop it.
Sikong Yangbiao turned his head and looked at Situ Yuanhuai, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
As the leaders of the Hongnong Yang family and the Runan Yuan family, they thought more.
How could His Majesty suddenly lift the ban on political parties?
You know, for so many years he has been using extremely violent means to suppress party members?
Did this suddenly dawn on you?
Are you kidding me?
Something must have happened in the meantime that they didn't know about.
As for the Grand Marshal Xu Yu, the head of the Three Dukes, he seemed to have very little presence.
During the solar eclipse last year, it was his turn because Liu Kuan, who was then the Grand Marshal, was pushed out to take the blame by Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.
Xu Yu, who was born in Wu County, was promoted by Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, purely because he had a shallow foundation and no party background.
Usually, I just serve as a background board.
Therefore, General Xu would not be too happy in his heart, at least not to the point of crying for joy.
As for Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, they rolled their eyes at the officials who were almost going crazy with joy.
cut!
If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are a truly wise officials who are devoted to the country.
snort!
It's all for the sake of one's own family.
If it weren't for the words of Master Lin, the Han Dynasty would have been almost destroyed.
Lift the party imprisonment?
Remove the shit!
You people who talk about morality and justice should be imprisoned until death.
After Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, announced the imperial edict, he immediately withdrew from the court.
After all, in the eyes of this Lord, he really doesn't like party members.
However, compared to liking someone, the continuation of the dynasty is more important, so it is a concession that he had to make.
After the court meeting was over, the matter of lifting the party ban began to spread.
Many party members who had been imprisoned for various crimes before have begun to be released one after another.
Those party members who had been hiding in various corners also began to appear openly.
And for those children of party members who were deprived of the opportunity of an official career due to being implicated, they also saw the hope of becoming an official.
As for the common people, these party members have always enjoyed extremely high prestige among them.
Therefore, when I heard that the Party Ban had been abolished, I was very happy.
Therefore, everyone in Luoyang city, from officials and party members to ordinary people and knights-errant, was celebrating.
Even the group of students who had always caused trouble and given the emperor a headache said this time, "Your Majesty is wise."
Of course, there is one person here who is not so happy!
Yuan Shao!
In recent years, this leader has become the leader of the party and has gathered a group of party members under him.
Determined to work hard to lift the party ban.
Because of this incident, Yuan Shao's reputation has been very high in recent years, and he is a complete beneficiary.
This also made Yuan Shu extremely angry!
Now, Emperor Ling of Han has done this, and all his efforts are like hitting cotton.
Will he still be surrounded by many younger brothers?
Can he still maintain his position in the party?
He was still full of worries about this!
However, some cool-headed and wise people found something unusual about this matter.
Especially the three dukes and nine ministers in Kyoto.
They are closest to the emperor and are the ones who know the situation in the capital best.
Before, Your Majesty had no intention of lifting the party ban.
There must be a reason for such a sudden change!
Even the attitudes of the eunuchs were somewhat confusing.
check!
Must be carefully checked!
...
Beigong, the Queen's bedroom.
"Where is your majesty? Where did he go?"
"It's been a few days, and he hasn't come once."
"Tell me, Your Majesty, have you been favoring those little b****** these days?"
The plump Empress He broke a teacup and got angry at a eunuch.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty has not visited the beauty in the past two days."
The trembling eunuch reported in a low voice.
"What?"
"No one has visited the beauty?"
Queen He's eyes were full of disbelief!
However, his mood was obviously better than before, and his tone was not as cold.
"Yes, ever since your Majesty accompanied Chang Shi Zhang and Chang Shi Zhao out of the palace two days ago, he has not visited any beauties in the past two days."
The eunuch told Empress He all the news he had found out.
"Could it be that he has found another beauty for His Majesty outside the palace?"
Thinking of how she was presented to the emperor by Zhang Rang and others, Empress He felt alert.
"Check it out, quickly. Who is this vixen trying to seduce His Majesty outside the palace?"
