A boundless thick ink smeared heavily on the sky. The night was dark and dreary, the moonlight was gone, and there was no glimmer of the stars. Geng Gong opened his eyes, looking at the endless darkness, and his heart was full of concern: How are Yurong, Yang Yan, Shi Xiu, and Fan Qiang? In his mind, he flashed back to the time when he was in the Western Regions, Jin Ge Iron Horse, armor was cold, standing at the head of the city, facing 100,000 Huns alone, fearless, charging into battle again and again......

At this time, a black shadow like a ghost, floated in, quietly opened the iron door, Geng Gong was startled, stood up, and said, "Who?" ”

The man said softly: "Captain Geng, don't make a sound, please come with me." ”

Geng Gonghu was very suspicious, and he didn't have time to ask more, followed the man, walked out of the iron gate, turned left and right, passed through several corridors, and came to a secret room. The man stood at the door, bowed down and said, "Captain Geng, go in." ”

Geng Gong had countless questions in his heart, but he was not afraid, he smiled, pushed the door open suddenly, and stepped in! The lights inside were bright, Geng Gong couldn't open his eyes for a while, but he heard a humane in his ears: "Geng Duwei, you have suffered......" The voice was flat, but it contained incomparable majesty.

Geng Gong opened his eyes and was taken aback. These two people, one sitting and one standing, the one sitting is Emperor Zhang, and the one standing is naturally Bao Yu. Geng Gong hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Geng Gong, the criminal minister, why is the emperor the emperor?" ”

Emperor Zhang suddenly locked his eyebrows, burst out with two murderous aura, and said sharply: "Geng Gong, I heard that this puppet general was found in the box of the Geng family's spiritual position. I now ask you, did you curse me with witchcraft? ”

Geng Gong was taken aback, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, the Geng family is the founder of the country, the ancestor of Weichen, all of them are heroes and loyal people, who only know how to fight on the battlefield and serve the country wholeheartedly!" Although Weichen is not talented and not an ancestor, how can he do such a crooked and evil deed! ”

Emperor Zhang nodded. Geng Gong paused for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, the things about witchcraft are all illusory!" The emperor clearly observed that this matter must be a conspiracy, and under the will of the saint, on the grounds of witchcraft, he acted recklessly and swept away dissidents! When the Queen Mother is in Japan, she often calls Concubine Song gentle and virtuous, quite knowledgeable, and Concubine Song serves the emperor very carefully, she has not heard of her mistakes, how can she curse the emperor? This time Concubine Song died, and people of insight sighed. Please take Emperor Wu as a mirror, don't repeat the mistakes of the past, and make 'Wangzitai' reborn! ”

Emperor Zhang was silent, and after a while, Fang said: "Geng Gong, Shi Xiu has already told this conspiracy, tell me, who is the protagonist of this conspiracy?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have no real evidence, so they don't dare to discuss it!"

Emperor Zhang smiled slightly and said, "You can tell me, I forgive you for your innocence!" ”

Geng Gong paused and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Song is virtuous, and I haven't heard of her grudges with others. At that time, the emperor appointed Huang Ziqing as the crown prince, and the ministers heard that Queen Dou and General Dou were very displeased. And the Imperial Forest Army had previously patrolled, and found puppets in the harem, and the ministers also sent people to investigate, Li Daoren was recommended by General Dou, and often went in and out of the Dou Mansion. Therefore, the minister thought that the initiators of the witch rebellion were none other than Queen Dou and General Dou! ”

Emperor Zhang was shocked, his face was displeased, and said: "Empress Dou is often in front of me, praising the sage of Concubine Song, how could she participate in the witch rebellion?" Geng Gong bowed his head and was silent, but he was not convinced in his heart. Emperor Zhang said again: "The puppet general in your tent was secretly put in by Shi Xiu!" ”

Geng Gong was taken aback, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Shi Xiu and his ministers, born and died, how could he harm me?" ”

Bao Yu looked sad: "In Dou Xian's hands, he has his handle, so Shi Xiu has to follow it." Unexpectedly, you were implicated in this and put in prison, Shi Xiu felt sorry for you, and after breaking this conspiracy with me, he committed suicide. ”

"What? He committed suicide? Geng Gong lost his voice, a stream of blood rushed into his mind, and suddenly the world was spinning, two lines of tears rolled down, and said sadly: "Brother Xiu, why are you so stupid, why did you commit suicide?" You are persecuted, how can my brother blame you? In those days, when you came to my tent, you wanted to take the puppet away, so that I would not be harmed, alas, brother Xiu, brother Xiu, brother is to blame......"

Bao Yu sighed and said, "Shi Xiu dares to be a good man!" But now that it's over, you don't have to be sad. Geng Gong, now the court and the central government are all Dou Gu's people, the emperor's trip is to ask for a plan, you can talk about it. ”

Geng Gong suddenly remembered that most of the thirteen brothers who returned to Luoyang were killed by the Dou family, he was resentful in his heart, gritted his teeth, and resolutely said: "Dou Gu will not be removed, forever peaceful!" ”

Emperor Zhang was shocked, took a cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and said slowly: "Dou has inherent merits, if I kill him, I am afraid that the world will criticize him!" ”

Geng Gong shouted: "Daxing doesn't care about the details, and the big gifts are not resigned, but the emperor cares about the common people in the world, why worry so much?" Moreover, Emperor Wen punished Bo Zhao, Emperor Wu punished Dou Ying, Emperor Zhao sued Shangguan Ji, and Emperor Xuan punished Huo Yu, the world is fast, and there is no criticism in the end! ”

Emperor Zhang stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, Huo Ran got up, his eyes burst out with murderous aura, and he said angrily: "Heaven wants to make it die, and the secret first makes it crazy!" The Dou clan was a rebellious minister, but the first emperor was merciful, pardoned his sins, and made him go into battle to make meritorious contributions. Unexpectedly, after the success, he was so arrogant, and he would be in the air, and the Han family would almost be owned by the Dou family! Hmph, if the Dou family is not removed, the world will be restless! Geng Gong, Dou's Pan is attached to the middle of the court, the roots are deep and the leaves are thick, it is quite difficult to get rid of him, you can talk about it! ”

Geng Gong lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said the plan in his heart. The candle flame flickered, stretched and contracted, and sneered, Emperor Zhang listened attentively, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and sighed: "In the past, when Emperor Wen died, he said to Emperor Jing, if the country is in trouble, Zhou Yafu will be made a general." Later, Zhou Yafu really lived up to expectations, pacified the Six Kingdoms, and turned the tide. The first emperor tasted the words, Geng Gong is loyal, wise and brave, but he can be a heavy responsibility, and now it seems that Geng Duwei is my Zhou Yafu, and he should live up to my hopes and make immortal achievements! ”

Geng Gong's blood boiled, and he took a deep look and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers are smeared with liver and brains, and swear to capture the Dou family!" Emperor Zhang nodded with satisfaction, but Bao Yu was worried: "Zhou Yafu can fight well, upright, and Geng Gong is very similar to him." The emperor is more suitable than Geng Gong for Zhou Yafu. As everyone knows, Emperor Jing later, he issued an edict to hand over Zhou Yafu to the court lieutenant for punishment, Zhou Yafu couldn't stand the humiliation, and went on a hunger strike to kill, could it be that Geng Gong ...... "Bao Yu didn't dare to think about it, and was silent.

Emperor Zhang was full of interest, and discussed the details, until the east revealed the white of the fish's belly, and then left.

However, he said that Dou Gu used the matter of witchcraft to clean up the dissidents in the DPRK and China. At the request of Queen Dou, the harem favored by Emperor Zhang was placed in the house one by one, and tested by Cai Lun of the small yellow gate one by one. Of course, the concubines refused to be convinced, but Cai Lunyin inherited the will, bent for exercise, and made an impenetrable confession, please pay the punishment. After Emperor Zhang finished reading it, of course, he was angry and issued an edict to move all the concubines into the violent room. This violent room was where the palace girls lived when they were sick, dark and damp, very simple, and all the concubines were sad and angry, so they took poison together and died at the same time. When Emperor Zhang learned that he had been stunned for a long time, a few tears fell from the dragon's eyes, and he muttered: "Everyone commits suicide, and there must be grievances." ”
