Liu Che is bedridden these days, and Wei Zifu waits on him. He doesn't relax at all, he just wants to serve the emperor with all his heart, and let the emperor know that he is sick, and someone who can stay by his side wholeheartedly, There is only one Wei Zifu.

Wei Zifu thought, since he is so meticulous, even if the emperor has a heart of stone, he should think of himself.

When Wei Zifu made the quilt for Liu Che, Li Yannian came in from the outside, saw Liu Che saluted and said, "Your Majesty, you look much better today."

Liu Che nodded and said, "I should be cured of this illness."

Wei Zifu said with a smile: "The emperor has become more and more energetic in the past two days."

Li Yannian said: "I want to report what happened these days."

Liu Che signaled him to continue, and Li Yannian said: "These days the government affairs have been presided over by the Empress and the Queen Mother, and most things will be discussed by the court. If the deliberations are not good, then a court meeting will be held..."

Li Yannian reported the events of these days one by one. First, Yingzheng got the tiger talisman and ordered Li Guanggong, Sun Ao and Wei Qing to go to the expedition. Then Wang Hui committed suicide in fear of crime. Soon it was reported that the three Han armies all had small-scale victories. .

Li Yannian told Liu Che who Yingzheng had summoned, and who the queen mother had gone to tell the queen about Wang Hui.

Liu Che was a little silent at the moment, as if he was thinking.

Wei Zifu rolled his eyes, and immediately smiled and said: "The empress is really powerful. In such a short few days, she has taken care of the government affairs clearly. The slaves heard that the ministers all admire the empress, so they dare not Disobedient."

Li Yannian glanced at Wei Zifu, although Wei Zifu's tone was pretending to be careless, but in Li Yannian's eyes, Wei Zifu was not as gentle and harmless as in Liu Che's eyes.

Hearing Wei Zifu's "unintentional" truth, Liu Che felt a little depressed. He was really happy to win the victory and defeat the Huns, but as a self-respecting emperor, a woman in the harem easily won the battle he defeated Well, this is not something to be happy about.

Furthermore, looking at the current situation, it seems that Yingzheng is very popular. Even if it is only superficial, no one dares to disobey him. As a declining relative, the Dou family may make a comeback after Queen Chen's troubles.

As an emperor, there is no one who is not afraid of his relatives, regardless of whether the relatives are surnamed Dou or Wang.

Li Yannian said: "Your Majesty's deeds have been praised by the whole court, it's just that the slaves have the guts to say something to His Majesty..."

Liu Che said, "Tell me."

Li Yannian said: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also... overturn it."

Liu Che raised his eyes and glanced at him, Li Yannian cleverly lowered his head, pretending to be humble.

Wei Zifu was a little surprised that Li Yannian was on the same boat as him in this matter.

This is indeed the case, Li Yannian wholeheartedly wanted to train his younger sister Li Yan to enter Ye Ting, but he never had a chance, and this hurdle was not Empress Chen.

If the emperor could fear and doubt the empress, and would not be afraid that an emperor would not continue to expand the Ye Court, then Li Yannian would be able to serve as a close minister and say a few words to Liu Che for his younger sister Li Yanmei.

Liu Che said: "After the matter is finished, I will rest for a while."

"promise."

Li Yannian responded, and as soon as he retreated, he saw the Queen Mother's chariot parked in front of the palace gate. Tian Fu got out of the chariot first, and then helped the Queen Dowager down.

Li Yannian looked at it from a distance, then turned back immediately, and hurriedly went to report.

It wasn't that Liu Che was tired, but he just didn't want to continue discussing this issue, but Li Yannian came in again.

Li Yannian said: "Your Majesty, this servant has just seen the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister from a distance, and they are coming this way."

Liu Che knew in his heart that if Tian Fu and the queen mother came together, he was sure to impeach someone or sue someone again.

Li Yannian had just finished reporting, and soon the Queen Mother walked in.

Liu Che pretended to be very happy, and said with a smile: "Mother and uncle came together, I am really flattered."

The Empress Dowager said: "What did the emperor say, is it wrong for a mother to come and see her son?"

Tian Fu said with a smile: "This humble minister disturbed the emperor's cleanliness, so he didn't dare to come to pay a visit rashly. Today, I heard that the Queen Mother is coming, so I came along along the way."

Liu Che nodded and said, "Sit down, don't stand still, uncle."

"Yes Yes."

Tian Fu was a little flattered to see Liu Che being so polite to him, but he didn't dare to relax, because Tian Fu couldn't understand Liu Che more and more. Liu Che used to be impulsive and impulsive, and he could do anything if he said a few nice words to him. , but it is different now. Ever since Liu Che pouted himself in front of the civil and military officials of the court, Tian Fu realized that this emperor is amazing. He has grown up and wants to stand up to the court by himself.

The Queen Mother said: "How is your Majesty doing recently?"

Liu Che said, "It's much better than before."

The Queen Mother said: "Hey, you need to rest more and get better quickly. You don't know that these days, your precious Gillian has turned the court upside down!"

Liu Che said with a smile: "Didn't mother arrange the marriage of sister Gillian back then? It's not been a few years now, don't mother remember?"

The Empress Dowager was pouted by Liu Che for a while, her throat was a little snarky, she immediately avoided the topic, and said: "Mother has wanted to talk to you about this for a long time, but I am afraid that you will be in poor health, and I will add trouble to you... A few days ago, about Wang Hui, although he was wrong, but he was wrong enough to die, so mother went to talk to Gillian, and in the end, he promised me to be good, saying that he would stop being mean to Wang Hui, but it didn't work out. Think about it, he said one thing and did another, then he went to the dungeon himself and poisoned Wang Hui to death!"

Liu Che also heard about this incident, and Zhang Tang had reported it to him, but after investigation, it was found that Wang Hui was not poisoned to death by the Queen's order. Later, Wang Hui committed suicide by taking poison.

Liu Che also knew that the Queen Mother felt unwilling about this matter, but Wang Hui was already dead, and he just rightly corrected the military prestige, and Ying Zheng's actions were not out of line, so there was no way to continue to pursue the matter.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Queen Mother said: "Mother also knows that there are no people now, so I still hold on to it, but Mother just can't swallow this breath! Come to think of it, my mother is still so angry now." He is alive, he is a queen, why is he also my junior, so unscrupulous, saying one thing and doing another, if I am gone, he will not go out of his way?"

Liu Che said: "Mother, don't be angry, there is nothing wrong with what A-Jiao did in this matter, the Ting Wei Department has given me a memorial, Wang Hui committed suicide by taking poison, A-Jiao did not do anything to force her. "

When the Queen Mother heard him speak for Yingzheng, she was a little angry and said, "Hey, you are still facing him at this point? You have been sick these days, and you haven't seen what the court looks like. The courts, big and small Officials, seeing the queen is like seeing the emperor. The three-way Han army defeated the Xiongnu, and the civil and military men of the Manchu dynasty knelt down and shouted long live. What is this for? The emperor, I have to guard against it!"

Seeing this, Tian Fu also took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Your Majesty, it's not that the humble minister wants to talk about the Empress Empress behind her back. Xiao Sheng, but the empress has no intention of withdrawing troops at all. If the Huns are offended, the army will be lost instead of gaining power. It is not that there is no one in the court who does not persuade the empress, but the empress does not listen to anyone at all. To reuse Dou family members like Dou Ying..."

Liu Che's brain ached when he heard it. Could it be that he didn't know this kind of truth? It's just that Liu Che had no choice but also didn't want to take care of it, so he didn't move.

But Tian Fu only cared about his own interests being damaged, so he kept complaining to Liu Che, forgetting to look at Liu Che's face.

Hearing Tian Fu's continuous talk, Liu Che immediately pretended to be tired and coughed several times. Wei Zifu hurried over to help Liu Che lie down, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to drink water? Drink some water to moisten your throat."

Liu Che coughed a few more times and waved his hands. Wei Zifu covered him with a quilt, and Tian Fu shut his mouth wisely.

Seeing that her son was coughing so badly, the Queen Mother walked over and said, "Hey, are you in good health? Why are you still coughing so badly? Ask the imperial doctor to come and see."

Liu Che waved his hand and said, "I'm a little tired, mother and uncle should go back first, these things will be dealt with after I am better."

Tian Fu knew that Liu Che was pretending as soon as he heard it, but the queen mother felt sorry for her son, so she had to keep her mouth shut. Tian Fu returned without success this time.

The Queen Mother complained to Liu Che with great fanfare. How could Yingzheng have never heard of this kind of thing, and soon someone came to tell Yingzheng as if asking for credit.

It's just that Yingzheng didn't take the Queen Mother seriously at all. Compared with the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother was much younger. Now Yingzheng's top priority is to win the battle with the Huns.

Yingzheng received an urgent report from the border. Because Wei Qing was the youngest of the generals of the three routes and had no military exploits, the main force of the Huns' counterattack was placed on Li Guang. Attack Li Guang.

And Gongsun Ao's team was also stopped by the Huns, but Wei Qing, so far, has been smooth sailing.

After reading the urgent report, Ying Zheng asked his servant to show it to the ministers in the Xuanshi Pavilion to read one by one.

Han Anguo looked at it and said: "Mother, I think that if the troops are not withdrawn, General Li Guang's journey will last for a long time."

Ying Zheng didn't give any advice, neither said yes nor no, but looked at Dou Ying and said, "What do Wei Qihou think?"

Dou Ying thought for a while, then said: "My humble minister thinks that we should send troops to support General Li Guang."

"Send troops?" Han Anguo was taken aback, and said to Dou Ying, "General Li Guang's [-] cavalry have penetrated deep into the hinterland. Sending troops now may not help. If the Huns separate General Li Guang's troops from reinforcements, I am afraid that if the beginning and the end cannot be echoed, they will be broken one by one."

Ying Zheng acted as if he hadn't heard Han Anguo's words, and said with a smile: "Wei Qihou really spoke to my heart, and I thought so too, send troops."

Han Anguo thought that Yingzheng wanted to win a big battle, and he was too eager for quick success, and said, "Your Majesty, no! Sending troops now will only damage the soldiers."

Ying Zheng looked at Han Anguo and said with a smile: "As Doctor Yu Shi said, sending troops to General Li Guang now can support General Li Guang for a while at most, and can't achieve any greater victory... But don't forget, not only the war Li Guang, Gongsun Ao, and Wei Qing."

Han Anguo listened, thought for a while, and immediately understood what Ying Zheng meant.

Dou Ying said: "It's just like this... The Huns are proud of being strong, and they value military merit more than the Han army. If they don't have military merit, they will be a fool in their eyes. They won't take a second look. General Wei Qing is now None of them were blocked on a large scale. It is for this reason that if the imperial court sends troops to support General Li Guang at this time, then it will focus the attention of the Huns on General Li Guang. , can also surprise the Huns and teach the Huns a lesson."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What Wei Qihou said is exactly what I have in mind."

Dongfang Shuo thought for a while, and said: "Although I'm just a civil servant, I don't know the principles of marching and fighting, but it sounds like this, isn't General Li Guang dangerous?"

Ying Zheng turned his back, fixed his eyes on the map, and said in a calm voice, "If you want to achieve great things, you have to make choices, and besides... In my opinion, Li Guang must have his own faults to become a parachutist. As a human being, whether he can return from the Great Wall depends on Li Guang's true ability."

After he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. Since ancient times, they have abandoned their pawns to save their cars. There is no reason to abandon their cars to save their soldiers. Wei Qing's achievements are like a small pawn. In Yingzheng's mind, it was Wei Qing, an insignificant pawn, who really needed to be used.

These days, everyone has a certain understanding of Ying Zheng's skills, and similarly, they also have a certain understanding of Ying Zheng's cruelty. If there is a gain, there will be a loss. Sometimes, only those who are willing to lose big can win big.

After the court discussion, Ying Zheng asked Dou Ying to continue to arrange food and grass, and allocated [-] cavalry to support Li Guang.

Not surprisingly, the [-] cavalry had just left the Great Wall when they were detected by the Huns and blocked by the Huns. They were cut off in two sections before they had time to connect with Li Guang's army.

When this incident came back, Yingzheng and the Queen Mother were in court at the Chengming Hall. Tian Fu was overjoyed when he heard it. This is a major crime against Yingzheng. cavalry.

After Tian Fu went to court, he went to look for Liu Che. After drinking the medicine, Liu Che felt uncomfortable lying all over these days, so he got off the couch and was supported by Wei Zifu.Just about to go for a walk, Tian Fu came over.

Seeing him, Liu Che lost all good mood and said, "I don't know if uncle is here, what's the matter?"

Tian Fu immediately said: "Your Majesty, this humble minister came from the Chengming Palace and just received an urgent report from the border. The empress did not listen to the dissuasion of the ministers, and sent another [-] elites to support General Li Guang. As soon as the thousand elite soldiers left the Great Wall, they were ambushed by the Huns..."

Tian Fu hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a herald ran into the dormitory quickly, shouting as he ran, "Hong Ling is urgent! General Wei Qing has won!"

When Liu Che heard this, his whole body was shaken, and he stood up abruptly. The herald was in front of him, knelt down, held up the victory report, and said, "Your Majesty, the frontier pass is a great victory. General Wei Qing's [-] cavalry are directly attacking the royal court!"

Tian Fu was dumbfounded at once, so he came to sue, but he forgot even the simplest trick to cover his eyes. After seeing the victory report, he suddenly understood that Yingzheng sent troops to mislead the Huns so as to contain their main force , giving Wei Qing an opportunity to take advantage of.

Liu Che waved Wei Zifu's hand away, stood up by himself, and said, "Wei Qing won..."

The herald officer said: "It is the emperor, General Wei Qing went straight to the royal court, the Hun King has withdrawn his army to support the royal court, the two routes of General Li Guang and General Gongsun Ao have been out of trouble."

The joy on Liu Che's face was beyond words, and he said, "Okay...okay! Where is Wei Qing now? Still fighting?"

The herald replied: "Back to the emperor, the empress sent an order that General Wei Qing has retreated, and will prevent the [-] cavalry from colliding with the main force of the Xiongnu."

"it is good."

Liu Che couldn't say anything other than "good" now, and said, "Has the army returned? I will personally go out of the city gate to welcome the three armies!"

Tian Fu was slapped in the face, Xing hurried over, but returned disappointed. He didn't expect that Empress Chen was just a woman, and she could really compete with the Huns.

Although there was some luck in this, the Huns did not expect that the Han army would dare to attack them preemptively, but this kind of luck was also based on a careful strategy. Among them, it simply does not exist.

Tian Fu has also been in the imperial court for so many years. How could he not understand this? He was a little scared in his heart. If Ying Zheng was not eliminated, his life would not be easy for a day.

Tian Fu thought that he could not confront Yingzheng head-on now. After all, Yingzheng had just defeated the Huns, and the emperor was very happy now. Not to mention the emperor, even the whole court was very happy. At this time, Yingzheng was very powerful. You cannot strike a stone with an egg.

Tian Fu was afraid of losing his power, so he went to the East Palace after leaving the bedroom.

The Queen Mother also heard that Wei Qing, a young man with no achievements, went straight to the royal court. Although he did not compete head-on with the Huns army, he made the Huns run wild and restless. This is unprecedented.

On the one hand, the queen mother was happy, but on the other hand, she was also worried like Tian Fu. After all, the person who directed the war was not from the Wang family, nor Tian Fu, but the daughter of Dou Taizhu, Empress Chen.

And this time the general officer is still Dou Ying, which is clearly a signal of the rise of the Dou family.

The queen mother was worried, and Tian Fu came in. The queen mother stopped him and asked what to do.

Tian Fu said: "Sister, Empress Chen's power is just right now, like a sharp knife, but we are fish and meat, so don't go head-to-head."

The queen mother patted the table and said: "What the hell is going on! Why did he become a sharp knife, and we let mermaids instead, is it plausible?"

Tian Fu said: "Since we can't touch the blade head-on, we can think of other ways..."

Tian Fu leaned over and said in a low voice: "Sister, my brother told you a few days ago, did you have any clues about the matter of marrying me?"

The Queen Mother glared at him and said, "What time is it now? He, Empress Chen, has ridden on my head to shit and pee! You are still thinking about getting married, and you want to piss me off?"

Tian Fu hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, sister, think about it, we can't compete with Empress Chen, so we have to accumulate power by ourselves. If my brother and I marry someone from the Liu family, isn't that just accumulating power?" ?”

The Queen Mother thought about it, and she also felt that this was the case, and said, "This matter is not easy to handle? You can marry now without any problem."

Tian Fu said: "That's good, brother, I just acted like I don't care about my own business, let the queen do it by himself, sister, just watch, the emperor is so concerned about face, can he let his woman control the government?" ? When they're done fighting in the nest, and we've accumulated enough power, why not do it?"

The Queen Mother said: "I hope it is as you said."

I don't know if the news of Wei Qing's great victory was too good. Liu Che almost recovered when he heard the news. As Liu Che said, on the day of the triumphant return of the three armies, Liu Che really went out of the city gate to greet him.

Liu Che and Ying Zhengcan rode in the same car, guards cleared the way, and the common people knelt down on both sides. When they saw Liu Che's chariot battle, they began to shout loudly, "Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the empress."

It was not that Liu Che had never been out of the palace, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene. After all, it was the first time he could defeat the Xiongnu on such a large scale.

Liu Che lifted the curtain of the car window, looked outside, and smiled at Ying Zheng who was sitting next to him, "I've been sick for a few days, and I've been lying on the couch, and my bones are loose."

Ying Zheng knew that Liu Che's chatter was just an opening remark, and he would say something later, so he didn't say anything, waiting for Liu Che to continue.

Liu Che looked outside and did not look at Yingzheng, but said: "The common people are the best to deal with. They are not like ministers. We must give them a chance to display their ambitions and appease them. Who can make the people not hungry? Who can make the people feel better?" Without war, he is the emperor, and he is still a good emperor... In the eyes of the common people, he doesn't care whether the emperor's surname is Liu or what. Right?"

When Liu Che said the last sentence, he turned his head to look at Ying Zheng.

Yingzheng's heart skipped a beat, and he just smiled and said, "The common people's thoughts are the simplest, and they treat the emperor fairly, don't they, Your Majesty."

Liu Che smiled, nodded, and said, "Sister Gillian is very reasonable."

That's all, the two of them didn't speak any more, the carriage only bumped slightly, and went all the way out of the city.

After Liu Che's royal driver arrived for a while, Wei Qing, Li Guanggong, and Sun Ao's third-router soldiers also arrived.

Wei Qing's [-] elite soldiers were not damaged at all, Gongsun Ao led [-] soldiers and lost [-] soldiers, and Li Guang came back alone, with a disheveled face and a dull face, so he was naturally unhappy.

Liu Che got out of the car and stretched out his hands to help Yingzheng. All the officials knelt down to pay respects to the emperor and queen. Liu Che asked them to get up, and then walked over, saying, "Wei Qing, good job, I didn't misunderstand you."

Wei Qing hurriedly knelt down again, and said: "I am ashamed of you, if there is no cover from General Li Guang and General Gongsun Ao, Wei Qing would not be able to achieve today's victory."

Wei Qing was obviously stepping down the steps for Li Guang and Gongsun Ao. Although Gongsun Ao couldn't smile, he still had a forced dry smile on his face, but Li Guang was different. Li Guang had never participated in such a shameful battle in his life. None of the Wan cavalrymen came back, and they didn't feel relieved when they heard Wei Qing's words.

Liu Che greeted the triumphant army, and praised the three armies after returning to court.

The Queen Mother took this opportunity to ask Liu Che to marry Tian Fu.

Liu Che laughed and said, "Mother, how hard is Uncle trying to arrest the Liu family?"

The Queen Mother didn't expect him to say it so bluntly, she couldn't help but said, "What kind of words are so ugly when you say them."

Liu Che said: "Well, if I don't agree, the mother should blame the son, and even refuse to let the uncle marry a daughter-in-law. That's fine, let the uncle like it, pick whatever he likes."

Although the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with his attitude, the matter was considered finalized.

The Queen Mother said: "Your uncle is married. What about you, pig? It's not your mother who said you. You saw it. This time the three armies triumphed. He, Chen Ajiao, has the most face. People in the court who listen to him are more likely to listen to you than you." There are so many people! If you pamper him again and let him be the sole pamper in the harem, won’t you turn the world upside down? Take advantage of the present and see if anyone can catch your eye. Mother looks at Wei Zifu well, he Although the status is a bit low, people with this status are cautious when speaking formally, they will not bully others, and they will not cause trouble in the future."

Liu Che prevaricated: "I've already considered this matter, but my son is a junior, so it's time for my uncle's wedding to be handled first, right?"

The queen mother heard that he didn't contradict her, and although she didn't agree, but it was a matter of accepting the concubine sooner or later, and Tian Fu's marriage was completed again, so she left happily.

Tian Fu is the prime minister, the prime minister's marriage, and the empress dowager personally pointed out the marriage, plus he married a member of the Liu family, so the wedding banquet was naturally very grand.

Manchu civil and military, regardless of whether it is He Tianfu or not, on the day of marriage, you must give enough face and bring congratulatory gifts to congratulate.

Dou Ying is also one of them. Dou Ying has always been a rich man, but he has a very stubborn temper. What a respectful come.

It was difficult for Dou Ying at the wedding banquet. It was nothing more than drinking. There was a man named Guan Fu beside Dou Ying. He had followed Dou Ying to quell the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

He is careless and has a pure reckless nature. He likes to drink alcohol, and when he drinks too much, he likes to swear at others. The king of Huainan wanted to plot rebellion.

Tian Fu's heart tightened. He never thought that the matter between himself and King Huainan was so secret that Guan Fu, a reckless man, would find out.

Tian Fu felt that Guan Fu could not stay, so he tied Guan Fu and sent him to prison. He wanted to impeach him for disrespecting the Queen Mother.

Dou Ying and Guan Fu are friendly people, and Guan Fu scolded Tian Fu in order to stand out for Dou Ying, but Guan Fu is a reckless man, and he doesn't know the seriousness of his gaffe, so no matter how ugly he scolds, he can't I would like to apologize with a gift, but Guan Fu actually said that Tian Fu and King Huainan colluded in rebellion.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, Tian Fu cannot allow Guan Fu to live any longer.

Since Liu Che recovered from his illness, Ying Zheng retreated to the Jiaofang Hall and stopped going to the Chengming Hall, so Liu Che didn't say anything.

The goal of Yingzheng has been achieved. Although he has not been in court for too long, he still has a lot of prestige, and there are also a lot of talents who should be subdued. Knowing the general idea is even more admirable.

Chu Fu inquired about Guan Fu's rioting, and said to Ying Zheng: "Prime Minister Tian Fu went to complain to the emperor, and Wei Qihou arrived, and the two of them couldn't tell the difference. The two families are relatives, so I organized the ministers to go to the Eastern Dynasty to discuss with the court."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng said, "Dou Ying is really confused."

"My lady, what does this mean?"

Ying Zheng said: "Tian Fu clearly wants to put Guan Fu to death. Otherwise, Xitang's scolding can be big or small, and an apology will be over. But now Tian Fu has added a crime of disrespect to the Queen Mother, saying that he The marriage was personally pointed out by the Queen Mother, and Guan Fu was targeting the Queen Mother... In my opinion, it's not that Dou Ying couldn't see it, but she also wanted to pull Guan Fu when she saw it. .”

Chu Fu said: "Didn't your empress always value Wei Qihou very much? How about Wei Qihou?"

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "If you can stop Wei Qihou on your way to the East Palace now, tell him not to go into the muddy water."

Chu Fu responded, and hurried out of the Jiaofang Hall. Liu Che sent everyone to the East Palace for a meeting, and happened to stop Dou Ying on the way.

After hearing Chu Fu's words, Dou Ying just said, "It's because Guan Fu stood up for me that I got where I am today. Besides, if Guan Fu is punished, will I, Dou Ying, be far away? Please tell your mother, I thank you for your kindness." kindness."

He didn't listen to Chu Fu stopping him, so he had to go back to Jiaofang Hall.

In fact, Ying Zheng had already expected it, and Dou Ying would not listen at all. If Dou Ying's temper was not so bad, he should be the prime minister now, not Tian Fu.

Ying Zheng just shook his head and sighed, "Dou Ying can't keep Guan Fu."

Ting Yi said that Tian Fu and Dou Ying were still equally divided, and the eloquence of the two people naturally did not speak, especially Dou Ying was pushed by Tian Fu this time. Tian Fu wanted Han Anguo to speak for him, but Han Anguo is a smart man , he didn't want to offend Dou Ying, he just kept neutral and didn't refute on either side.

The court discussion in the East Palace did not come to fruition. Liu Che wanted to smooth things over at first. After all, Guan Fu did scold someone, but he is a meritorious official, and the crime is not worthy of death. The queen mother is his mother, so he has to ignore her. Save face, but neither of them wants to reconcile.

Dou Ying finally took out Tian Fu's property. Tian Fu was a little surprised. After all, in addition to his own property, there was also the queen mother's property, which the emperor didn't know at all.

Hearing their quarrel, Liu Che felt unhappy. He was clearly the emperor, and Guan Fu was just swearing at others, but he couldn't let Guan Fu off lightly. He wanted to see the Queen Mother's face, and obviously he knew Tian Fu was corrupt. But he couldn't do Tian Fu, because Tian Fu is the younger brother of the Queen Mother and is protected by the Queen Mother.

Liu Che looked at the crowd, squinted his eyes and sneered, and said, "Both sides are right, and both sides say the other side is wrong, so let's behead them together!"

After Liu Che finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left. In the hall of the East Palace, all the officials stood tremblingly for a long time before they dared to retreat.

When Liu Che left the East Palace, he didn't immediately report back to the Queen Mother, but went to Jiaofang Palace first.

Ying Zheng was reading a book, Liu Che went in, sat directly next to Ying Zheng, and said, "Have you heard about Guan Fu?"

Ying Zheng just nodded.

Liu Che said: "I really don't know what to do."

Ying Zheng laughed lightly, and said, "I just want to ask the emperor, whether to keep Guan Fu or Dou Ying."

Liu Che was shocked, turned his head to look at Ying Zheng, and said, "Both of us want to stay!"

Ying Zheng said: "Then the emperor will go and tear his face off with the queen mother."

Liu Che rubbed his forehead and said, "Is there really no other way?"

Ying Zheng glanced at him, then fixed his eyes on the bamboo slips in his hand, and said calmly: "The emperor can endure what others can't, and be ruthless that others can't."

Liu Che was a little dazed when he heard it, but he didn't know how long he would have to endure it before finishing the calculation.

Not long after Liu Che arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, the maid from the East Palace came, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the empress dowager does not eat, and said that the emperor will not give a conclusion today, the empress dowager... the empress dowager does not eat."

Liu Che rushed forward immediately after hearing this, and really wanted to say whether he likes to eat or not, but he was still suppressed, just as Ying Zheng said, he had to endure what others couldn't bear.

Anyway, the Queen Mother is his own mother, so Liu Che must not do such a disrespectful thing, so he stood up and said to Ying Zheng, "I plan to keep Dou Ying."

He said that's all, and went to the East Palace.

After hearing the result of the court discussion, the Queen Mother was not satisfied, so she stopped eating, and asked someone to tell Liu Che that if she didn't give a result today, she wouldn't eat. She was still alive, but someone bullied her younger brother like this.

Liu Che had no other choice. In order to protect Dou Ying, he had to subdue the queen mother, so that the queen mother would not be angry and was going to ask Guanfu to kill him.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was satisfied, finally willing to eat, and asked Liu Che when he was going to kill Guan Fu.

Guan Fu was disrespectful to the queen mother and was immediately executed. When Dou Ying heard about it, he almost fainted from anger. Tian Fu had Dou Ying arrested, saying that he and Guan Fu were in the same gang, and that he would go to the court for questioning. Phone check.

Dou Ying's going was a procedure, and Liu Che knew about it, so he had to let the queen dowager vent her anger, and when the queen dowager's anger subsided, she would release Dou Ying and continue his Wei Qihou.

It's just that as soon as Dou Ying was taken away, Wei Qihou's mansion went into chaos. Dou Ying's wife didn't know that it was a show, and ran to Dou Taizhu's mansion overnight.

Both Dou Ying and Mrs. Dou are the pillars of the Dou family, but now that the old lady is gone, the Dou family is lonely. Mrs. Dou is no longer as arrogant as before, and Dou Ying is even more silent.

Mrs. Dou also knew about Dou Ying being imprisoned. She wanted to find a way. After all, Dou Ying was also a member of the Dou family. Cry and cry.

Madam Dou knew that a woman was frightened, so she said a few words of comfort, because the other party kept crying, and Madam Dou had no choice but to ask Chen Yu to come over to persuade her, after all, it was Chen Yu who was eloquent in the family. most.

After a few words of persuasion from Chen Yu, Dou Ying's wife finally stopped crying, seemed to think of something, sobbed and said: "My master doesn't have any savings at all, I turned the house upside down, looking for some money I went to the Ting Wei Office to redeem people, but I found this, and I can read some characters, this...is this something extraordinary?"

As she said, she put the cloth-wrapped thing on the table, it was not big, and she didn't know what was inside, it was still deflated.

Chen Yu stepped forward to open it for Dou Taizhu, and inside was a piece of yellow cloth. Chen Yu and Dou Taizhu are people who have seen the world, and this thing is undoubtedly the imperial decree.

Chen Yu speeded up his movements and quickly unfolded it. He only glanced at it, his hands trembling with excitement, and he handed it to Mrs. Dou, saying: "Mother! Mother, look at it! The late emperor... the last imperial edict of the late emperor... the late emperor There is also a will!"

Mrs. Dou snatched it up and scanned it, her hands were trembling all of a sudden, she was agitated for a long time before she said: "It turned out to be a will... I never heard Dou Ying mention it."

Chen Yu said to Dou Taizhu: "Mother, it's all right, uncle is saved."

"Yes." Dou Taizhu showed joy on his face, but also had a somewhat ruthless look, and said with a smile: "It's not just Dou Ying who has been saved."

This piece of yellow cloth is exactly the life-saving talisman that Emperor Jing gave to Dou Ying before his death, so that Dou Ying could assist Liu Che, and when necessary, take out this edict to serve as Chao Cuo, and can protect Dou's family. Up and down size is fine.

When the Empress Dowager passed away, she thought over and over again whether to hand over this edict to Liu Che for preservation. After all, a sword has two edges. Although it can hurt others, it can also hurt yourself if you are not careful.

And if this order is taken out, Liu Che will definitely bear the reputation of being unfilial.

The Empress Dowager considered it again and again, and finally arrived, but did not tell Liu Che that Dou Ying still had such a will in her hand.

But Mrs. Dou doesn't think about whether Liu Che will bear the infamy. Ever since the old lady passed away, the Queen Mother has started crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. She clearly wants to clear up her relationship with herself. She has forgotten how she begged herself in a humble way , I want Liu Che and Gillian to get married.

Dou Taizhu has long been dissatisfied with the Queen Mother, but she has no power at all now, even if she is dissatisfied, she can't do anything, not to mention her daughter is still in the palace, she is afraid that she will show her dissatisfaction, and it is the daughter who suffers.
