On this day, Dou Gu summoned Li Daoren and said: "Recently, you have been running around and working very hard, and now the court has a clean stroke, and the people of the Wu Gu Emperor are all tied to prison. Tomorrow is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and I am going to hold a banquet in the palace, and the generals of the conference will declare your merits and discuss national affairs! ”

Li Daoren was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General!" He looked around and said in a low voice: "General, I am good at the art of appearance, but I rarely meet people in my life. ”

Dou Gu lifted his beard and smiled: "Li Daoren will still meet people? I don't know how physiognomy is? ”

"The nobility lies in the bone method, the sorrow lies in the complexion, and the success or failure lies in the decision.

"Li Daoren will take a look at the face, how about it?"

Li Daodao: "I have been with the general for many days. The appearance of the general, if Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty, the advance is unspeakably expensive, and it is a pity to die if he retreats. ”

Dou Gu was taken aback and said, "What does this mean, please make it clear." ”

"In the past, the debater of Qi State, Kuai Tong, looked at Han Xin's face and said, Xiangjun's face, but he was in danger; The back of the monarch, the shape of the dragon, is indescribably expensive. At that time, the Chu and Han wars were in full swing, and Han Xin led 500,000 troops and was in Qi. Kuaitong also drew a plan for Han Xin, saying that Han Xin wore the power of the Lord, and the merit of not rewarding him returned to Chu, and the Chu people did not believe it; Returning to the Han Dynasty, the Han people were terrified; Only when the world is divided into three parts and the king is the king, can we be at peace. Han Xin couldn't bear to betray the Han, and firmly believed that after pacifying the world, Liu Bang would not treat him badly, so he did not accept Kuaitong's persuasion. Later, the general also knew the ending of Han Xin. ”

Dou Gu lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, said, "Do you persuade the general to betray the Han?" Although the general has military power in his hands and his prestige is incomparable, he doesn't want to be Wang Mang! There is no need to say anything more. ”

Li Daoren knew that it was useless to persuade again, so he turned around and left. Out of the gate of Doufu, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "For the courtiers, the merit is high, how can there be immortality?" Although the Dou clan is prosperous, it will be weak if it is prosperous, and I am afraid that soon, the Dou clan will be destroyed! Under the nest, how can there be eggs? The witchcraft started with me, and I am afraid that I will die in the future and have no place to bury! He couldn't help but panic and wanted to drift away, but how could he give up the wealth in front of him?

The next day, the sky was clear, the autumn sun was shining, the water was long, and the wild geese were flying high. Dou Mansion is full of lights, gongs and drums. Dou Gu waved down, wrote a couplet, and pasted it in front of the house. This couplet, although the words are jerky, and the battle is not neat, but it is vigorous and powerful, like a knife carving, and there is a majestic momentum that swallows thousands of miles. Xu Yun praised: "The general has been fighting horses for half his life, driving the Huns, fixing the world, fighting inside and outside, governing martial arts, no one has come through the ages!" ”

Dou Gu looked at the couplet where the ink had not dried, lifted his beard and said with a smile: "Throughout the ages, ministers of the society have abounded, how dare Ben Jiang compare?" But if he can be the same as Xiao He and Zhou Bo when he was a high ancestor, he will be satisfied. At this time, he couldn't help but think of that period of suffering, sad in his heart, missing his brother, imitating Gaozu's "Song of the Great Wind", striking the knot and howling: The autumn leaves are gone, the water is cold, the king is in the world, and it is difficult to make a comeback. Dou Gu's tears rained down, and he sang three times in a row, his voice hoarse, vicissitudes, and full of endless sadness.

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, very uneasy in his heart, and secretly thought, "What's wrong with General Dou?" Plain and proud, the world is fearless, today is a day of great joy, why is it so sad? His mind moved, and he said: "General, Li Daoren's words yesterday are very reasonable. The general holds the military power in his hands, is a very powerful minister, has high merits, has advanced but not retreated, and the general is also familiar with the history books. ”

Dou Gu's face changed, he drew his sword from the ground, shook it in the air, and said angrily: "Xu Yun, you have been with me for many days, why do you also say such rebellious things?" The first emperor thought that my Dou brothers were involved in the rebellion of Chu Wang Ying and Guangling Wang Jing, and put us on death row! Dou Gu's chest rose and fell violently, and then said: "But my Dou clan is loyal, but Zhao Sun and Moon, how can I be a rebellious person?" You all persuade me to rebel, it is to trap the Dou clan in an unkind and unrighteous place, this must be said again, otherwise, Hugh blame will be ruthless! After speaking, Dou Gu backhanded a sword, and actually cut off the head of the stone lion in front of the mansion, and smashed it to the ground with a "bang".

Dou Gu sneered a few times and turned around to return home. Xu Yun froze in place, thinking, "What's wrong with General Dou?" Even if I was wrong, how could he cut off the stone lion's head in the townhouse? He thought for a while, and then went to find Li Daoren.

At dusk, the sun was suddenly blocked by a yellow cloud, the sky and the earth were suddenly darkened, and a thick fog suddenly rose on the flat ground, blocking Luoyang, and the road was difficult to argue. There was another gust of wind, earth-shattering, blowing the sand and flying stones, and the two stone lions in front of Dou Mansion were blown up in the air and fell 100 meters away. After an hour, the yellow clouds went away, the sun was shining, and it was a bright day.

Li Daoren had already arrived at Dou Mansion, and when he saw this strange situation, he couldn't help but be shocked, and couldn't help but pinch his fingers and say, "General, how can there be fog in the sky and the earth at dusk?" Why did the wind blow away the stone lion alone? Just now, the poor road pinched his fingers, a great omen. It's better to cancel tonight's banquet, the whole city is under martial law, and after a while, it's not too late to have another banquet! ”

Dou Gu looked displeased, and said: "The dignified big Sima, the great general, once you say it, it's hard to chase the horse!" How can you go back on your word? Besides, it is the norm of heaven to judge the good and the bad, and if you cringe in this way, won't it make the world laugh? ”

Li Daoren was stunned for a moment, and thought: "General Ping Su Dou has been so stubborn recently? Xu Yun hurriedly said: "The general is an important minister of my court, and he should be in the stars, once there is a change, the natural sky will warn, and please think twice!" ”

Dou Gu's expression was slightly relieved, and he said, "You two, why are you sneaky?" Well, I'll listen to you half, and the banquet will go on as usual. Xu Yun, you guard the beacon fire in the house, and once there is a change, immediately raise a cigarette. Order the two armies of the south and north to be on alert at any time, and then order the heavenly army to enter the city, but when the smoke rises, the three armies come to help, so it is always foolproof! ”

Li Daoren and Xu Yun were overjoyed and said, "The general is wise!" ”

The moon suddenly disappeared, and it was pitch black between heaven and earth. The prosperity of the world, the majestic palace, are hidden in the thick night, and the earth is like an endless black cloth! In the northern barracks, the fire was blazing, and the soldiers stood proudly, as if facing a great enemy, their swords unsheathed and their bows wound. The general Xue Ba has gone to the Dou Mansion for a banquet, and when he left, he summoned the generals and told him in every way, but when he saw the smoke, the soldiers divided into two ways and entered the Dou Mansion. The generals only chattered, staring at the deputy general Ma Fang. Ma Fang's heart sank, and he bowed his head and said nothing. As soon as Xue Ba left, Ma Fang took several captains and patrolled the camp, and he was even more worried, he pinched the holy decree in his arms, thinking that tonight would either die or the net would break!
