Chapter 63: Dou Xian was arrested

Dou Xian didn't sleep well this night, all he heard in his ears at night was the sound of soldiers' spurs, he had a dream, in the dream, he saw his father Dou Xun, he remembered that his grandfather Dou Mu pretended to be the Empress Dowager Yin's edict to make Liu Xu's divorce of his wife was revealed, Liu Zhuang was very angry, and most of the Dou family was ordered to leave Luoyang at that time.

Soon Dou Mu and his sons Dou Xuan and Dou Xun were inexplicably imprisoned. His father died in prison at that time, but he saw his father sitting on the edge of his bed, cleanly dressed, touching his head, as if he had become the weak little boy again, hiding in his mother's arms and weeping.

"Father!" He called, as if he could feel his father's warm breath blowing on his face, softly, like a childhood caressing.

"Son, you're coming to meet your father!"

"No, father, you are dead, and the child should not go to see you. I have avenged you, I have become a general, revived the glory of our Dou family, I also killed those who killed my grandfather and uncle, my sister became the queen, and became the queen mother, and the scenery of our Dou family is back. Father, sleep well underground! Dou Xian took his father's hand and spoke eloquently, with no fear, no pain, and no confusion in his heart.

"Child, it's over, it's all over, come on, father is waiting for you, come on!" Dou Xun's figure slowly disappeared, faded, and finally disappeared!

"Father!" Dou Xian screamed and woke up from his dream, reached out to grab it, but grabbed a void, and Jin Si beside him turned over and fell into a deep sleep again. Dou Xian wiped the sweat from his head, and when he saw that the night was quiet and there was a rustling sound outside, he put on his clothes and walked out. It's been a long time. He didn't dream of his family, and the strangeness revealed in the dream made his heart begin to be unrestful.

He remembered that he had avenged his father's unjust death. At that time, the confessor Han Xun was ordered by the first emperor Liu Zhuang to preside over the trial of his father Dou Xun's case, which led to Dou Xun's tragic death in prison. And when he got the supreme power, Han Wei had already been dead for many years, in order to get out of the evil qi that had been accumulated in his chest for many years. He arrested Han Su's son on fabricated charges and sentenced him to death. He also cut off his head and placed it in front of Dou Xunling. To comfort the soul of the deceased father in heaven.

He looked at his hands, with which he had executed countless people who stood in his way, now pale under the cold moon. I don't know why. This feeling of uncertainty is particularly strong. Although his public opinion in the DPRK is not good, like an undercurrent under the ice has been rushing, he does not take these things too seriously. With the Queen Mother in the palace, everything will be resolved. He never feared that the torrent would rush at him and drown himself. But at the moment he felt dizzy. The beating heart seemed to rush out of the chest, and he couldn't breathe through, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out and pounded!

Good for a while. Hearing a voice behind him, he didn't look back, knowing that it must be Jinsi who found out that he hadn't gone back for a long time. Come out and see yourself. "General, what's wrong with you?"

"Jinsi. I dreamed of my father tonight, and I felt uncertain, I didn't know what was going on, I always felt that something was going to happen. Dou Xian stroked Jin Si's waterfall-like hair, and the gallbladder man also showed his tender side.

"General, you are the pillar of the Han Dynasty, the brother of the Queen Mother, and the emperor's maternal uncle, if you want to say that there is something, it is also a good thing, didn't Your Majesty say that you want to celebrate the general's birthday" Jin Si softly snuggled Dou Xian's shoulder and said softly.

"Jin Si is right, I don't have anything to fear, it's really mediocre, come on, baby, let's go back and sleep."

But Dou Xian's good dream didn't last long, and a sharp knock on the door broke the silence before dawn, and the messenger sent by the emperor finally arrived.

A group of armor-piercing samurai swarmed in like hungry tigers, startling everyone in their sleep.

"What's wrong!" Dou Xian was awakened, and saw Dou Ku rushing in with a crawl, and shouted: "The general is not good, the emperor has sent someone to arrest you!" ”

Dou Xian jumped out of bed, "This, how is this possible!" He hurriedly put on his clothes, and when he ran outside, he saw the soldiers rushing in.

"Bold! Who gave this order, I am the general Dou Xian, who are you fighting for? How dare you go to my house and spread wildness! He roared and thundered!

Luoyang Ling Chongjing came to him with the holy decree and said: "General, his subordinates are under the emperor's imperial order, and the general Dou Xian receives the order!" ”

"The Emperor's Decree? What kind of decree can this yellow-mouthed kid make, most of it is you, a traitorous minister, who will take down this kind of conscientiousness! Dou Xian shouted a few times, but no one answered, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the people in his house had been captured, and even Jin Si was dragged off the bed, tied with a rope, gagged, and looked at him with a sad face.

His heart trembled, and the scene in the dream came back to his eyes, and his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Chong Jing sneered and said loudly: "The system said, Deng Die, Infantry Captain Deng Lei, Captain Guo Ju and Guo Huang of Changle Shaofu colluded with each other to plot against each other and murder the Son of Heaven. Fortunately, with the blessing of God, these four people are now in the law. The general Dou Xian is highly famous, but he colluded with these four people to rebel and sabotage the dynasty, and now he is removed from the post of general Dou Xian, handed over the seal, and was named the champion. Dou Xian received this edict and left quickly, not to stay. If there is disobedience, it will be executed on the spot, and it will not be forgiven! Chin this! ”

Dou Xian couldn't believe his ears, and he roared loudly: "I'm not guilty!" I'm not guilty! Why are you arresting me? Why are you arresting me? Your Majesty, I am your maternal uncle, a person who has made great contributions to the Han Dynasty! Your Majesty, you can't do this to me! Your Majesty......"

However, Liu Zhao couldn't hear and didn't want to hear Dou Xian's words. All of Dou Xian's henchmen were captured, and like Dou Xian, Liu Zhao's will did not kill them, but only drove them out of the capital.

In just one day, Dou Xian's party was uprooted, and on June 2 and 5, Deng Die, Guo Ju and others were executed.

Liu Zhao ascended the throne of the Chongde Palace, and the seal guard was beside him, holding the real six seals of the Son of Heaven in his hand. The majestic hall, the copper tripod, the copper turtle and the bronze crane are all burned incense, and the curling royal incense is scattered from the mouth of the turtle and crane, and it seems that there is purple light and mist everywhere, adding a bit of sacred and solemn atmosphere to the dragon tower and phoenix.

In the main hall, everyone stood bent down, their eyes full of excitement, waiting for the long-awaited moment.

Outside the hall, more than 100 Changyin Pavilion enshrined eunuchs beating drums and chimes, Zheng Zheng and Xiao flute, Huang Zhong Da Lu, chime rhythm, music masterpieces. The singer sang unhurriedly: "Please! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

After everyone shouted in unison, Liu Zhao sat on the wide four-sided throne and looked at the palace from a bird's eye view, his eyes were shining, four years, in order to truly sit on this throne as the Son of Heaven, he died nine times in his life, experienced ups and downs, endured humiliation and burden, and the court set off a monstrous storm. In order to fight for this throne for him, the courtiers worked hard and fought with Dou Xian's party to a great extent, defeated, dead, and crazy. Now, he's succeeding! How can this sense of comfort and happiness of victory be explained clearly in a few words?

He stretched out his hands to show for exemption, and said to the ministers with a smile: "Aiqing, flat down!" ”

When everyone got up, he looked around at the ministers in the hall again, feeling very excited. "Ladies and gentlemen, I really think it's true when I call you today." After saying this, all the ministers laughed, and the hall was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

Liu Zhao stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to calm down, "I deliberately took a good look at the six seals of the Son of Heaven today, these six seals are really hard-won, this morning, the queen mother personally sent them back to me, telling me that from now on, she will live in the harem and ignore national politics, this sentence is not easy for me to wait for!" ”

Everyone lowered their heads, and there were countless emotions in their hearts, only to hear him continue: "I personally checked the "Biography of Foreign Relatives", how smart Emperor Wen was to kill Bo Zhao, this is the performance of a virtuous monarch, how can you govern the country if you don't punish your relatives?" How to serve the world? Emperor Wen is well aware of this, so he is a generation of holy masters. Although Dou Ying was upright at that time, he was unruly, and Emperor Wu was forced to kill him under the pressure of his mother, but the rebellious person was not good for the country, and the minister could not suppress the lord, which was also reasonable. Although Dou Xian is my maternal uncle, but the power cannot be suppressed by the master, I have told my mother, and today I summoned Dou Xian to die! ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers knelt down in unison, and the heart of praise came from the bottom of their hearts.

Liu Zhao took a look and found that Sikong Ren Kui was not on duty, and said strangely: "Why didn't you see Ren Sikong?" ”

Ren Tun went out and said: "Your Majesty, my father said that His Majesty had grown up and his task was completed, but he suddenly fell ill and said that he was going to chase Yuan Situ and go with him." ”

"What? Old Sikong is sick? Liu Zhao frowned, this festive day was the most unhappy thing in his heart.

At this time, Taichang Hengyu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the traitorous party has been eliminated, the court is empty, the clouds are clear, it is the time for Your Majesty to recruit talents and clear the remaining party, and the minister recommends one person to take on this important task!" ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"Han Ling, the left supervisor of the court captain! This man is decisive, shrewd and loyal, and he is the person available to His Majesty! Heng Yu said.

"Okay, Han Ling, this matter will be handed over to you, what I mean, the evil will be eliminated, and it cannot be tolerated." Liu Zhao stared at Han Ling and admonished.

"The ministers should do their best to live up to Your Majesty's trust." Han Ling replied.

Taiwei Ding Hong came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks, the emperor has held a coming-of-age ceremony for more than a year, and he already understands personnel, so it's time for the draft!" ”

With this sentence, Liu Zhao blushed, but Sui'er's beautiful figure flashed in his mind, and he replied: "Okay, I will make an order to draft girls in the world to enter the palace, August 15, the draft ceremony!" (To be continued)
