As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, although Empress Dowager Dou was in charge of the overall situation, Liu Che was not a puppet emperor.
Although Old Lady Dou's desire for power was great, she also knew the great truth. She only grasped the power of the Tiger Tally and the appointment of the three dukes and nine ministers.
As for other powers, Liu Che still had them.

Ganquan Palace.
At this moment, Liu Che looked at the old eunuch in front of him.
This old eunuch was called Chuntuo. Although he was short, he had a powerful background.
According to what Liu Che knew from his previous life, Chuntuo was Old Lady Dou's spy when Liu Qi was in power.
That's right, he was also in charge of the Great Han Empire's East Hall, which was called the Embroidered Guard.
The leader of the Embroidered Guard was called Hou Li, and he was responsible for collecting all kinds of information.
However, the scale of this organization was not large. It was far from the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the East and West Factories of the Ming Empire in the future.
Chun Tuo was in charge of the Embroidered Guard.
Liu Che knew that he was also Old Lady Dou's spy, and his every move was under his surveillance.
If he couldn't handle Chuntuo, then everything he had would be controlled by others.
After all, he had just ascended the throne and had yet to grasp the true supreme imperial power.
Old Lady Dou had the most power and could depose the new emperor.
Liu Che didn't want to become the future Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, a caged bird for Old Lady Dou.
At this moment, Chun Tuo looked at Liu Che with shock.
He suddenly realized that he couldn't see through the youth in front of him at all.
There was a strange look in the little Emperor's eyes that made him shudder…
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has decreed that Wei Wan will be the Emperor's teacher tomorrow. He will come to Weiyang Palace to teach Your Majesty how to govern the country.”
After saying that, Chun Tuo looked at Liu Che quietly.
As the personal attendant of Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, it could be said that he had watched Liu Che grow up.
However, at this moment, he felt that Liu Che had completely changed, especially his eyes.
"Chuntuo, do you have any memorials or urgent government affairs?”
Liu Che looked at Chun Tuo, who was standing in front of him with his hands down and bowed.
Chun Tuo raised his head and cupped his hands.
" Your Majesty, there's nothing urgent. If there's an urgent matter, the Prime Minister, the Grand Commandant, and the Imperial Censor will handle it…"
"I'm not the second emperor of Qin. I think you want to be Zhao Gao…"
Boom!
Chun Tuo felt like he was struck by lightning.
"Your Majesty, I only want to be a little eunuch by your side. I don't dare to have any delusions!"”
Although Chun Tuo was a 'Hou Li', in charge of the Embroidered Guard, his authority was far inferior to the three dukes and nine chancellors.
Although the current Prime Minister Wei Wan was someone that Old Lady Dou trusted, Wei Wan didn't look down on Chun Tuo.
If Wei Wan wanted to mess with Chuntuo, he only needed to submit a memorial.
Cold sweat dripped down Chun Tuo's face…
Liu Che looked at Chun Tuo who was kneeling in front of him and smiled,"
"From now on, you take care of yourself. Whatever I need, you can think about it yourself. Get up…"
"This servant doesn't dare."
Chun Tuo kneeled on the ground, trembling. The little Emperor's words made it very clear.
That was, he had to choose his side. To be the empress dowager's person or the little emperor's person.
It was no longer Liu Qishi, the Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, who could win from both sides.
What did the little Emperor need?
He naturally knew that this was the most crucial military power!
What did it mean to represent military power?
Undoubtedly, it was the Tiger Tally for mobilizing troops!
As the leader of the Embroidered Guard, he had people on Old Lady Dou's side…
"Raise your head!"
As soon as Liu Che finished speaking, Chun Tuo raised his head and looked at Liu Che with shock.
The pair of sharp eyes he saw was a hundred times more powerful than the previous emperor!
How could this be something a sixteen-year-old youth possessed?
At this moment, Chun Tuo was terrified!
He had always treated Liu Che as an ordinary youth. He did not expect the emperor to become so dignified after ascending the throne!
"Chuntuo."
"This servant is here."
"Where is Zhou Yafu?"
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yafu is currently in prison for angering the late Emperor.”
"Go and pass down my decree to get him out of the prison. Now that the Xiongnu are restless, how can we imprison a general like him?”
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager…"
Liu Che interrupted him and said,"
"Don't say anymore. I think you should understand what I mean. If you can't take it out, you don't have to come back. There are many people more useful than you in Weiyang Palace, understand?”
"This servant understands!" Chun Tuo said in fear.
"Also, go to the Xuan Dynasty!"
"This servant will obey!"
Chun Tuo left Weiyang Palace. When he left the main hall, his official robe was already soaked in cold sweat.
He did not dare to be negligent. He was the head of the eunuchs.
Although Empress Dowager Dou had all the power, the future belonged to the current emperor.
How many more years could the Empress Dowager torment herself?
He realized that the young emperor's methods were even more shrewd than the previous emperor's.
After returning to the Embroidered Guard, Chuntuo sent a eunuch to announce the court's arrival while thinking of a way to bring Zhou Yafu out.
Zhou Yafu had pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and had made great military achievements.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was worried that Liu Che would not be able to suppress him after he ascended the throne, so he found a groundless crime to put him in prison.
Now that the Emperor wanted to use him, didn't that mean that the current Emperor was confident that he could control Zhou Yafu?
Chun Tuo was smart, he immediately understood why Liu Che had used Zhou Yafu.

Inside the Sweet Spring Palace, Liu Che paced back and forth.
Prime Minister Wei Wan was a good person, a very upright person, and also very knowledgeable, but he wasn't the kind of talent he needed.
Imperial Censor Tian Ke was in the prime of his life, but he only knew how to steal and was extremely corrupt.
Grand Commandant Xu Chang was Old Lady Dou's trusted aide. He only listened to Old Lady Dou and didn't listen to him at all. He was also very corrupt.
If he wanted to do something, he had to adjust the three dukes and nine ministers. Otherwise, his decree would not be able to leave Weiyang Palace.
In that case, he was just a decoration.
In history, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he endured for six years until Old Lady Dou died.
Liu Che did not have the patience. He had the support of a powerful system, so why would he need to be suppressed by an old lady?
Zhou Yafu was the God of War, and Dou Ying was a useful talent. Now, he had to use these two people as soon as possible.
It was a pity that Wei Qing was only twelve years old. If he wanted to use him, he would have to wait a few years.
Huo Qubing was even younger.
Zhou Yafu was a boor and did not understand the politics of the court.
If he released him from the cage, he would definitely become his sword to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu.
Dou Ying was famous and had been the prime minister before, so he put him in an important position again.
They would definitely be deeply grateful to him and be able to form a powerful imperial faction in the imperial court.
After all, everyone in the court was Old Lady Dou's people.
