When the ministers received the edict and asked them to enter the palace immediately, they rushed to the palace almost non-stop, but the guards of the palace were still so strict, Zhang Huan sent two battalions to garrison Weiyang Palace, and the remaining two battalions were stationed outside several city gates in Luoyang, and the authority of the city gate captain was directly deprived by Zhang Huan, but the city gate captain Dou Yi had been killed, but there was no objection.

The soldiers of the Northern Army stationed here, strictly check the jade plaques of the courtiers, confirm their identities, if it is on weekdays, these party members will not endure such insults, but at this moment, they can't find out the news in the Weiyang Palace, and they can only endure it, when they arrive at the main hall, there are dozens of guards guarding around, and the Queen Mother Dou Miao is sitting on the high platform in the middle.

The ministers greeted each other for the time being, and then sat down.

As soon as they sat down, the Queen Mother spoke:

"The night before, the traitor Dou Wu led the northern army to attack Weiyang, and he was killed by the soldiers...."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, ringing in the ears of the ministers, suddenly, the ministers fell silent, their eyes widened, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely cold, and after a few moments, everyone came to their senses, and some party members immediately got up and shouted: "General Dou is a model in the world, a moral man, how dare you slander loyalty and goodness, and speak vainly about your father!" ”

"Exactly!" The rest of the people also agreed with this person's opinion, and shouted: "This must be another framing and slander, General Dou is a frank person, he can suffer a violent death, we will never believe it!" ”

"Haven't you seen it yet? This is the method of those eunuchs, and the eunuchs have harmed me again! Some people beat their chests and cried, but more people couldn't accept it, sat dumbfounded, unable to speak, those party elders also frowned, lowered their heads, and didn't say a word, while those young party members were still shouting to hand over the culprit and overturn the case for Dou Wu!

"Stop arguing!"

The weak Empress Dowager Dou yelled with all her might, her father died, how could she not be uncomfortable? Her father led his troops to attack Weiyang Palace, how disappointed and resentful she was in her heart, such complex and intertwined emotions tortured the Empress Dowager Dou for several days and nights, making her almost collapse, her voice was a little hoarse, looking at the party members below, she stood up suddenly, and said: "The ten permanent servants are already dead!" ”

"Dou Wu attacked the palace, the ten permanent servants came to look for me, right next to me, I watched Dou Wu kill in the palace, not only the ten permanent servants, but all the yellow doors in the palace have been killed by him!"

Everyone fell silent suddenly, the Queen Mother's eyes were red, and then she said: "He not only wants to kill eunuchs, he also wants to kill the emperor, Chen Taiwei and others disagreed, and they were also killed by him!" ”

These words once again made the party in an uproar, and a few people got up, directly bit their fingers, wiped them on their foreheads, and swore: "General Dou and Taiwei have been friends for many years, we will never believe it, General Dou is such a person, swear by our lives, I hope the Queen Mother will carefully investigate it, there must be grievances in this!" These are all young scholars who worship Dou Wu and have just come out of Tai Academy.

Hearing them say this, several more people got up and swore one after another, all hoping that Empress Dowager Dou would be able to re-investigate.

Empress Dowager Dou was speechless and looked at the important ministers below.

"You are so bold, dare to persecute the Queen Mother?" , Suddenly someone yelled, everyone turned their heads to look, but there was a person standing at the door of the main hall, staring at him, that person was Zhang Huan, Zhang Huan looked at these people, Zhang Huan whether it was prestige or merit, was far higher than the party members present, everyone saw him, not afraid, but excitedly asked: "Zhang Jun, please call the shots for the general!" ”

Zhang Huan took a few steps forward, bowed down in front of the Queen Mother, and said, "The minister came to confess!" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes widened, and before she asked, Zhang Huan continued: "Three days ago, Dou Wu summoned the ministers and instructed the ministers to go to the Surabaya Pavilion to meet Duan Zhonglang. ”

"The minister is derelict in his duties, and I hope the Queen Mother will punish him!"

After Zhang Huan finished speaking, the few party members who had made the oath shouted one after another: "This is not true! ”

"We will never believe that the general is plotting rebellion, he invaded Weiyang, it must be to kill the eunuch!"

"Of course, the general is bent on killing the gelding!"

Zhang Huan got up suddenly, looked at them, and said in a gloomy tone: "Thousands of northern soldiers corroborate it, don't you still want to favor the rebels, don't you know that Wang Mang Liangji the day before yesterday?" As soon as these words came out, those people could no longer speak, their eyes were full of tears, and they gritted their teeth, Wang Mang naturally knew that before he usurped the Han, his reputation among the scholars was a few heads higher than Dou Wu!

"Swear to death!!" The soldier who had just made the oath got up suddenly, and slammed into the wooden pillar behind him, and hit the pillar headlong, and suddenly blood splashed, and the person fell to the ground, and everyone hurriedly came to call for help, and made the imperial doctor order to come, in the midst of the chaos, the court meeting was over, and the queen mother was also helped into the palace.

The ministers returned to their respective homes, and the matter of the court spread rapidly, and the people who heard about it for the first time would never believe it, but after hearing the testimony of the Queen Mother, and even the testimony of the general Zhang Huan and thousands of soldiers of the Northern Army, everyone was a little silent.

In the entire Tai Academy, there was a cry, and the students were not willing to accept this fact at all, so they walked around in groups in Luoyang City, they held filial piety flags in one hand and wine in the other, crying while walking, maybe the little fat man did not expect that one of his behaviors would make the Wei and Jin Romances come out in advance a hundred years later, not only in Luoyang, but also the entire Son of Heaven.

Even if there is ironclad evidence, they will not believe that Dou Wu, whom they have always admired, is a thief.

They prefer to believe that Dou Wu was killed by mistake just to get rid of the eunuchs.

Within a few days, the corpse of the ten permanent servants was excavated by the angry party, whipped and destroyed the corpse, did everything, and finally scattered the bones in the field outside the city and fed the wild dogs, and Zhang Huan also caught a lot of party members who participated in the excavation, but Zhang Huan arrested these people into the prison of Tingwei, and in a blink of an eye, Tingwei let these people go, after all, Tingwei is also a party member.

At the request of many scholars and even rangers in Luoyang, the Empress Dowager Dou and two days later, sent Dou Wu's corpse out, but she didn't expect that on that day, not only Luoyang, but even the ranger officials and villagers around Luoyang, and even various high-ranking officials in the surrounding states, counties, and counties, all came one after another, and they lifted Dou Wu's corpse and carried it all the way to the ten miles of willow forest outside the Zhonghu Pavilion to bury it.

The little fat man stood on the gate of Weiyang Palace, surrounded by Han An and Song Dian guarding, he looked at the crowd of people in the distance, crying like a tide, but his heart was more and more jealous of these party members, they controlled public opinion, even if he had evidence to prove that Dou Wu had rebelled, there were still so many people who trusted him, and were even willing to die with him, such an appeal, how could he not be afraid?

"Song Dian!"

"The slave is here."

"These scholars, rangers, and officials from all walks of life who came to meet me will be recorded in my book."

Song Dian was stunned for a moment, and then took the order to leave, the little fat man squinted his eyes, looking into the distance, but he sneered in his heart, it was autumn, and these officials who should have been busy with the autumn harvest came to mourn for the traitors, okay, it seems that the parents and governors of all parties should also change their blood.
