    Changle Palace, in Changxin Palace

    Qiao Mu looked at the blurry scene in front of him and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Although the original body was not blind this time, it was actually not far away from it. The extremely severe glaucoma and cataracts basically reached the point where he had to be supported when walking.  , otherwise you may fall or something else may happen.

    This time, the original person is Queen Mother Dou.

    Empress Dowager Dou of the Western Han Dynasty.

    The wife of King Dai, the queen of Emperor Wen, the mother of Emperor Jing, and the grandmother of Emperor Wu, had power in both dynasties. She was a queen mother who always implemented Huang Lao's teachings, denied Liu Che, refused war, and hoped to rest in peace with the people.

    Of course, in the Emperor Wu Dynasty.

    She should be called Empress Dowager Dou.

    After reading the memory of the original person, Qiao Mu immediately understood the two regrets of the original person. One was that he became blind at a young age and his life was quite difficult.

    Another reason is that his granddaughter Chen Ajiao should not have been allowed to marry her grandson Liu Che, which caused her granddaughter to die alone and prematurely.

    ?To sum up, there are two wishes.

    ¡°One is to regain sight, and the other is to make granddaughter Chen Ajiao¡¯s life more comfortable.

    I hope I can protect her.

    Of course, those who are concerned about the country and the people also have some deep-seated wishes. Empress Dowager Dou¡¯s deep-seated wish is to hope that fewer people will die in the war. Even if Liu Che cannot be prevented from starting the war, she also hopes that fewer people will die in the Han Dynasty.  some.

    ??Actually, Qiao Mu understands this quite well.

    The various wars fought by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty during his reign were indeed beautiful, and the Xiongnu they killed were almost frightened. However, the degree of civil economic decline and population reduction during his reign were also unprecedented, and almost all the money accumulated by his father and grandfather were wiped out.  All the things are consumed. Please note that all the things here refer not only to money and food, but more importantly to the population.

    At the beginning of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, the country's total population was less than 20 million. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, the population once increased to more than 50 million. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died after fighting in the war, the population dropped again to less than 30 million.  The population of less than 30 million does not mean that only more than 20 million have disappeared.

    Take into account the natural growth rate.

    The actual number of people who disappeared should be higher.

    The reason why disappearing is used here is mainly because population reduction is not necessarily due to death.

    In ancient times, the death of the population, the hiding of black households, etc., were all counted as the disappearance of the population, such as those killed by the Huns and those killed in wars, and those who died of starvation.

    A large number of people could not pay taxes and fled to the mountains and forests to become shady households. These were one of the main factors in the population decline during the Emperor Wu's dynasty.

    But even so, according to Qiao Mu's own estimate, the real number of deaths should be more than 10 million. This is definitely a very scary number. As a person who has always admired Huang Lao's learning, Empress Dowager Dou naturally found it difficult to accept the ordinary people of the Han Dynasty.  The nation suffered such great losses.

    Therefore, there are three wishes that Qiao Mu wants to fulfill this time. One is to regain his sight, the other is to help Chen Ajiao, and the last one is to reduce the number of war deaths of the Han Dynasty as much as possible.

    Overall, the first two are easy to handle.

    Mainly the third one is a bit difficult.

    But it¡¯s actually not difficult, after all, the tiger talisman is still in her hand and has not been given to Liu Che yet.

    " Now in this court, her words are more useful than Liu Che's. Some things are naturally not difficult to do. Even Liu Che did not dare to abolish Chen Ajiao's post as Queen Mother Dou while she was still alive.

    The most is cold violence or something like that.

    This also shows the power and prestige of Queen Mother Dou.

    While I was thinking about things, footsteps suddenly came from the side, followed by a clear question.

    "Your Majesty, can you get up? The emperor and the queen are already waiting outside the palace and want to see you!"

    The waitress Kuijie whispered after entering the room.

    Because Empress Dowager Dou's eyesight is not very good in middle age, her hearing is very good. All the female officials and concubines in the palace know this, so when talking to Empress Dowager Dou, they will lower their voices slightly to avoid making noise.  her ears.

    According to his native habit, Qiao Mu put his hand on the hand of the blurry figure in front of him and said with a smile:

    "Don't put on makeup, just put some clothes on for me, so that Cheer and Gillian won't have to wait."

    "Yes, Your Majesty is still kind."

    ¡°With that said, Kui Jie, a maid with a rank comparable to that of a second-grade official, quickly waved her hand to the maids behind her to come forward and help Qiao Mu wash and dress.

    Since I told you not to put on makeup, I did it quickly, just cleaning my face.Just comb your hair into a woman's bun and put on light clothes.

    After finishing dressing up, Qiao Mu, led by a group of female officials, went to the front hall to meet people.

    The front hall of Changxin Hall

    Liu Che was comforting Chen Ajiao in a low voice:

    "Gillian, I really didn't go to other palaces yesterday. I stayed in Weiyang Palace the whole time."

    "I don't believe it. Don't think I don't know that you and a group of people hunt, ride and shoot in Shanglin Garden all day long. You would rather ride and hunt with those rough guys than come to my place.

    You must still be thinking about attacking the Huns"

    Chen Ajiao was full of grief and anger at this time.

    Feeling extremely angry and dissatisfied.

    Women's emotions are inherently sensitive, let alone women in love. In the past few years, Chen Ajiao can clearly feel Liu Che's perfunctory treatment of her. Sometimes she can even feel Liu Che's disgust towards her, and even does not want to see her.  she.

    ¡°Only when he came to complain to his grandmother, he would say some kind or soft words, but after a while, he would return to his original state.

    It may even get worse.

    She has almost had enough of these years.

    "Gillian, have you forgotten what happened to the ladies you married? How can you get rid of this hatred"

    Before Liu Che finished speaking, he heard the sound of the Empress Dowager arriving outside. He quickly stopped what he was saying. He could say some things to Chen Ajiao, but he couldn't say them in front of the Empress Dowager, especially with Chen Ajiao.  If the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have different political opinions, they will be reprimanded otherwise.

    ¡°And the Empress Dowager has very pointed ears.

    Naturally, I had to stop talking.

    After Qiao Mu came in, as soon as he saw the expressions on their faces, he knew that they were in conflict again. After all, this was not the first time. In the original memory, this situation had happened many times, so it was  Not in a hurry, he slowly sat down on his seat and then said:

    ¡°Gillian, it¡¯s those things from the past again.

    You don¡¯t need to say anything, the Ai family has already known about it.

    "It's okay for you to be like this all the time. Since the relationship has faded, let's just make peace."

    "You two are the first royal couple in history to reconcile. There is no way that you can go down in history even if you do nothing. Otherwise, if you two continue like this, you will become a bitter couple sooner or later.

    I'm still alive now, so of course you don't dare to do anything to Gillian. But if I go there one day, I'm afraid Gillian will have to be abolished to make room for someone else. Besides, the blood relationship between you two is too great.  It's so close that we shouldn't get married in the first place.
