She trembled and took out a scroll of letters wrapped in cowhide from her arms and handed it to Jiang Chengjia.

"There is a letter sent by Lu Fuzi's trustee in prison here, and at that time I found out what Lao Shen's good son had done with Ning Zheng."

When Dou Taijun spoke, he was indignant, his eyes were red, and the grief on his face was overflowing.

In the first ten years of the Yuan Dynasty, Dou Xunen returned from the northern Xinjiang, and when he entered Beijing, he learned that Emperor Ming had married Cao Xiu and Ning Zheng, and married her into the palace of King Huai. The Imperial Palace's Praetorian Guards and the Yellow Gate Attendants were unable to stop him.

Emperor Ming knew that as long as Dou Xunen could come back alive, this day would never be avoided between their father and son.

He couldn't say that this matter was deliberately set up by Ning Zheng to lead the estrangement between their father and son; It can't be said that Cao Xiu didn't know the inspection points, and he had an affair with Ning Zheng, and the city was in an uproar, and he was forced to marry the two of them out of desperation.

These two, I'm afraid that Dou Xunen won't believe it.

The children of the Dou family have been studying in the same academy with the prince since they were young, among which Dou Xunen and Ning Zheng have the best relationship, how can he believe that his best friend is greedy for his wife and forcibly marries her back to his palace?

Emperor Ming didn't explain anything, only said, if you still want to recapture the Cao family, take advantage of the military exploits recaptured in the north to publicize your identity to the world, call the king to inherit the throne, and receive the title of ten thousand families.

Dou Xunen refused, even if he believed that the Cao family was his wife, but now she also married into the Huai Wangfu, if one day in the future, he will take her back, it will definitely damage her reputation and be criticized by the world.

Moreover, the reason why he returned to Luoyang, recognized Emperor Ming, and volunteered to win the position of the main general of the first war in the north was to let the prince know that he was not a person to be messed with, and this move did have the intention of fighting for power. But he didn't intend to pave the way for himself.

Dou Xunen didn't want to be greedy for power, and he didn't want to respond to Emperor Ming's request to be the future monarch of Great Wei, but he didn't want the prince to ascend the throne, he just wanted to protect the Dou family and the Cao family who followed him left and right.

He thought that the crown prince was immoral and cruel, and he was not a candidate for the monarch of the Great Wei, so he was bent on returning to the dynasty and wanted to assist Ning Zheng to get the position of prince. In this way, he, the Cao family and the Dou family can rest assured.

He knew that Emperor Ming wanted to push him to the throne, but if it was really like that, he would still have the opportunity to take Cao Xiu back to the mountains and forests, don't ask Hongchen?

However, the things in the capital came one after another, which caught him off guard.

When he returned triumphantly, he found that his best friend had taken away his favorite girl, how could he respond to Emperor Ming's words, be crowned king, and drive back to the palace on the right?

In his heart, he only thought about Cao Xiu.

He knew that Cao Xiu would marry into the Huai Wangfu as he wanted, and there must be something strange about this matter.

Emperor Ming was reluctant to tell the truth, so he went to investigate privately, and finally found out that all this was done by Ning Zheng in secret.

Dou Xunen was extremely angry, and at the request of Emperor Ming, he promised him that one day he would return to the ancestral hall and announce his life experience to the world.

Emperor Ming was elated.

But Dou Xunen also said that this matter can only be announced to the world after all the dust has settled.

He made a decision in his heart, knowing that if he responded to Emperor Ming's request at this time and returned to the palace, he would inevitably force Ning Zheng to join forces with the crown prince and deal with him and the Dou family even more severely, and even possibly use the Cao family as a threat to make him withdraw from the royal ancestral hall and never enter Luoyang again.

Then at that time, even if he wanted to take Cao Xiu back, it would be impossible for her to stay away from such a place of right and wrong.

Emperor Ming agreed to his request and promised that if he was willing to inherit the throne of the Great Unification, he would re-arrange the marriage between him and the Cao family.

However, it backfired.

In the second year of Yongning, Dou Xunen's power in the court became more and more stable, and Emperor Ming was in front of him all the way through thorns and thorns, and he was like a fish in water.

Two years after Dou Xunen took up the post of Imperial Shi Zhongcheng under the Eastern Mansion, he discovered that there were too many unjust, false, and wrongful cases in the national court, and it was not uncommon for the scholars to be greedy for money and land, and to plant blame for the common people.

Dou Xunen was originally a person with lofty ideals, and when he saw the tragic situation of this country, he was embarrassed in his heart. So he was determined to change the corrupt and evil customs of the corporal clan in power and oppressing the people, but the proposed new policy touched the core interests of the majority of the noble clan and made them hateful.

The new political strategy presented to Emperor Ming's eyes, just as Jiang Chengyi hoped for change, gave a fierce medicine to the arrogance of the corporal clan in this world, and the punishment was too severe. It was a thunderous strategy, but Emperor Ming admired it, he had long wanted to govern the arrogance of the world's corporal clans, but he couldn't find the right time.

So, Emperor Ming ordered Dou Xunen to proceed with this matter under the condition of ensuring Dou Xunen's safety.

In the third year of Yongning, Cao Xiu married into the seventh year of Huaiwangfu. Read a book

In the past seven years, Ning Zheng has not set foot in her courtyard.

And she often used the excuse of returning to Xijiang Province to travel and meet with Dou Xunen in private.

She waited for the day when Dou Xunen could rescue her from the tiger and wolf's den in the Huaiwang Mansion.

In August, it was early autumn.

Dou Jue took the seal of the head of the Dongfu Division to investigate the serial murder case in Youzhou for two months.

The murder case gradually came to light, and Dou Jue also returned to Beijing with his family. On the way, he was assassinated several times. He traced the Assassin's trail all the way, and finally discovered that the person who sent the Assassin to put him to death was actually Emperor Ming.

He was terrified and panicked. I really can't figure out why Emperor Ming wanted to attack him. It was at this time that he got a letter from Chang'an.

According to the letter, Emperor Ming ordered someone to move Dou Yue's tomb into Beijing, and seemed to be ready to be buried in the concubine mausoleum, but the strange thing is that when he invited the ancestral temple, he did not use the name of Dou, but let Dou Yue replace the name of the Ming concubine who followed Emperor Ming, who was still the crown prince twenty years ago, into the tomb of the concubine and included it in the royal ancestral hall. The palace was already preparing for the ceremony of Dou Xunen's return to the palace, but Emperor Ming poured it in the name of the son of Concubine Ming, and seemed to want to cover up Dou Xunen's true life experience.

This didn't make Dou Jue feel chilled to the bone.

He knew that in order not to stigmatize Dou Yue, Emperor Ming refused to admit that Dou Xunen was Emperor Ming and his son.

This decisive, ruthless, and ruthless son of heaven wants to kill all the people who knew about it back then, give Dou Xunen a more noble identity, and welcome him back to the palace.

To inherit the unification, it is most taboo to be born incorrectly, and it is also the most taboo to have a strong foreign relative's dictatorship.

Emperor Ming suffered from it back then, so naturally he would not let Dou Xunen continue to suffer from this, so he had already made up his mind to get rid of the Dou family.

Dou Jue guessed this, how could he be stable in his heart? is even more worried about the family of Dou Taijun and others who stayed in the capital.

He hurried back to the capital, but was stopped by Ning Zheng's men.

Since the Cao family married into the Huai Wangfu, the Dou family has never had any contact with the people of the Huai Wangfu.

Dou Jue hated Ning Zheng deeply, and wanted to take a detour and return to the city to return to Emperor Ming, but who knew that this person was desperately stopping him with all his strength, and regardless of the prestige of the county king, he knelt in front of him, wept, begged for Dou Jue's forgiveness, and said to Dou Jue sincerely, now that the prince's power is becoming stronger and stronger, Dou Xun'en has greatly reduced the power of the scholars with the new policy, which has damaged their interests, and the prince with the support of the scholars has been anxious, if he doesn't stop, he will inevitably force him to have no way out, desperately fighting.

If Dou Jue can make Dou Xunen resign from his position in the court and stay away from the capital at this time, then he is also willing to reconcile with the Cao family and let the Cao family leave the capital, so that Dou Xunen and the Cao family can go away with high scores.

Although Dou Jue didn't believe in Ning Zheng, over the years, Ning Zheng had indeed not fought with Dou Xunen in private, but compared to the crown prince, he was sharp against the Dou clan everywhere, and the struggle between the scholars and the Hanmen became more and more intense.

Therefore, Ning Zheng's words are three points credible.

He really wanted Dou Xunen to stay away from this place of right and wrong in the capital. But what makes him helpless is that Dou Xunen is the same as his mother's temperament, with a stubborn personality, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal.

If Dou Xunen originally stayed in the capital to find an opportunity to take the Cao family, then now his thoughts are completely different.

In the past seven years, he has served as a multi-state assassin, and has seen the heavy tax burden of the Great Wei, the scholars everywhere, and the people's livelihood and suffering. And these scenes, whether it is Ning Sleeve as the crown prince or the most favored King Huai, they all turn a deaf ear and never govern the slightest. The Manchu Dynasty was like this both civil and military, and even though Emperor Ming had the intention to reform, he had little effect.

Only when the five kings of the dynasty Ning Mi were willing to listen to him, observe the people's feelings, and ask Emperor Ming for instructions, and dare to carry out new policy reforms with Dou Xunen.

Dou Xunen used the momentum of seven years to support Ning Mi to seize power, so that he could inherit the society.

He is mired in a power struggle.

Dou Jue was also anxious on the side, and when he learned that Emperor Ming wanted to remove the Dou clan and use the son of Concubine Ming to push Dou Xun'en to the throne, he panicked in his heart, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he agreed to Ning Zheng's request.

At that time, it happened that Dou Taijun found a reason to hand over a letter to Dou Xunen, who went to Chang'an to investigate the confiscation of farmland stations by the local large families and the oppression of tenant farmers and workers for free farming, wanting to create an opportunity for Dou Xunen and the Cao family to meet.

Not long after Dou Xunen replied to the letter, when he returned to the capital from Chang'an, Dou Jue took the Dou clan people to stop Dou Xunen in the eastern suburbs, and wanted to tie him up and send him out of the capital.

Who knows that Ning Zheng's heart of a jackal, although she has not forced Cao Xiu to do anything over the years, she is clear about her private meeting with Dou Xunen, and she is more and more dissatisfied with it, and she is even more taboo The five kings Ning Mi, who originally had no power and no power, and did not even have the opportunity to return to the capital, lived in the capital for a long time because of Dou Xunen, and had the intention of seizing power.

If he wanted to attack Dou Xunen, he had already laid out the situation and made all preparations to take revenge on Dou Xunen and the Cao family.

He privately united with Deng Guozhong, Fu Bo and others, gathered troops and horses outside the eastern suburbs, and intercepted Dou Xunen outside the suburbs of Beijing after Dou Jue listened to his persuasion, and when he was trying to persuade him, he sent people to attack and enter, and at the same time trapped Dou Jue and Dou Xunen, wanting to kill them together.
