In the first year of Jianning, spring and February.

Dongqiang, who had been silent on the side for a year, couldn't sit still, and often sent troops to invade the interior, so that Xiliang suffered another military disaster, which immediately aroused the anger of the ministers in the court, and the little fat man was no exception.

First of all, some party members recommended Zhang Huan, who could recruit foreign enemies.

However, Zhang Huan was in charge of the Northern Army, and Dou Wu was trying to use the Northern Army to get rid of the eunuchs, so how could he send Zhang Huan to the expedition at this time? And there is Duan Cheng, who was very good at fighting against Qiang last time, please ask for orders, he was appointed as a councilor, and he had nothing to do all day, and he only stumbled on Dou Wu in the temple, Dou Wu's dissatisfaction with him was known to everyone, and Dou Wu didn't even think about it for too long.

He directly ordered Duan Cheng to be the captain of the Qiang Guard, sent 5,000 cavalry, 10,000 infantry, and 3,000 vehicles, and ordered him to crusade against Dongqiang, which is the second large-scale foreign use of troops by the Han Dynasty in recent years, and the scale of this time is even larger than Zhang Huan's last expedition, and Dou Wu is still not very relieved, and appoints a number of party members to Duan Cheng's side, thinking that he will be supervised, so he can rest assured that he will leave.

The little fat man naturally instructed Duan Cheng for a long time, expressing his encouragement and expectation for Duan Cheng.

However, for this battle, the ministers did not care very much, after all, whether it was Duan Cheng or the soldiers of the Northern Army, they were all at ease, Duan Cheng this person, although he was not appreciated by the party, but on the ability to lead troops to fight, the party also admired him, and decided on this matter, and there was nothing more important, but the little fat man really didn't expect that Dou Wu would make trouble in the court.

"Your Majesty, the clan of the Zhongchang servant and the tyrant, doing evil with the locality, doing all kinds of evil, killing the people of one side, making the heavens angry and resentful, and the brother of Su Kang, Su Lin, and Gaoyang County killed a pregnant woman, such evil things, it is unprecedented in the opening of the dynasty, please give an order to kill the Chang servants in the palace to set an example!" , The little fat man was dumbfounded, is this going to make a knife with himself?

The little fat man frowned and asked, "Is this true?" ”

Dou Wu nodded.

"Such important matters are not for me to discuss, you can discuss with the queen mother for yourself! I should listen to my mother's opinion. There was no problem with the little fat man's words, and he directly pushed the matter to the Empress Dowager Dou, after all, nominally, but the Empress Dowager Dou was in power in the Linchao, not him, the little emperor, nor the Dou Wu in front of him, Dou Wu was eager to get the emperor's permission because the Empress Dowager did not agree.

He hurriedly said: "The important matter of the state, please give an order from Your Majesty!" ”

This is a bit of a clear forced palace, the ministers of the court frowned, did not reply, they all felt that Dou Wu's actions were a little inappropriate, but if this move can get rid of the eunuchs who have endangered the Han for many years, it is also worth it, the little fat man did not answer, turned to look at the Empress Dowager Dou, the Empress Dowager Dou sat next to him, and saw the little fat man's timid eyes, and her heart softened.

Said gloomily: "General, don't forget the courtesy of the monarch and the minister!" ”

Dou Wu didn't pay attention to her at all, but said to the little fat man again: "Please give an order!" In the execution, he was always serving Guan Ba, Su Kang, Zhang Rang, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, and Huangmen Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Qi, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian. ”

The little fat man was furious in his heart, and he deceived people too much!

If you deal with those middle and regular servants, even Song Dian, Gao Wang, and Bi Lan under my command do you want to kill??

He got up suddenly, and picked up the jade seal directly from the case of Shang Shuling next to him, before everyone could react, he threw it directly towards Dou Wu gently, the ministers looked frightened, all of them did not change color, Dou Wu did not dare to damage the jade seal, and suddenly stepped forward to catch it, his heart was shocked and angry, and he scolded loudly: "Your Majesty, what does this mean??" ”

"Dou Jun has rules in his heart, why don't he seal it himself?"

"The jade seal has been given to Dou Jun, and Dou Jun can be heirlooms!"

Finally, this son of heaven, who was smiling all day long, for the first time, showed his fangs as if dealing with eunuchs among the ministers, Dou Wu turned pale with fright, and hurriedly bowed down, raised the jade seal in his hand, and shouted: "Your Majesty framed the old minister, how dare I have two hearts??" The ministers also shook their heads helplessly, Dou Wu, he was still too anxious, so threatening the Son of Heaven.

This little fat man is too, he looks harmless to humans and animals on weekdays, why is he so terrible at this moment, if Dou Wu doesn't get the little fat man's forgiveness today, the reputation will be completely ruined among the party, in the future, he will not be the leader of the party who is dedicated to the public, I am afraid that he will be scolded by everyone as Liang Ji II, no, the Son of Heaven is reprimanding him for wanting to use the jade seal to inherit the family, but I am afraid that he will be scolded as Wang Mang II.

The performance of the little fat man, I have to say, still shocked the ministers, if in the past, the little fat man just showed his polite corporal, gentle demeanor of Emperor Xiaowen, then at this moment, he actually showed a domineering spirit like filial piety, under one blow, let Dou Wu, who was in power leaning towards the dynasty, suffer a lot, and no longer dare to be rude!

Dou Wu was terrified, he never thought that this little guy who had no idea on weekdays would burst out with such energy today, he looked around, Chen Fan and the others hesitated for a moment, but no one stepped forward to intercede for him, the little fat man had been in contact with them before, and gave them a good impression, not to mention, if he was too busy with Dou Wu at this moment, the nature of this matter would become the lord of the ministers, such a name, they didn't want to bear it.

Seeing Dou Wu's appearance, the Empress Dowager Dou was also a little distressed, suddenly turned her head and looked at the little fat man, the little fat man saw the unbearable in the eyes of the Queen Mother, sighed helplessly, turned around, leaned over and saluted, and said: "It was I who acted impatiently and angered the general, I hope the general will not be blamed!" After speaking, without waiting for Dou Wu to reply, he turned around and left.

Dou Wu carefully returned the jade seal, and his heart gradually relaxed, but the idea of solving the eunuch was extremely strong, the emperor was getting stronger and stronger, if he didn't take advantage of the current time to get rid of the eunuch, he was afraid that in the future, the eunuch would rise again, in this thought, he didn't even have time to communicate too much with the queen mother, so he left directly.

When Chen Fan and others learned that the Queen Mother was opposed, they persuaded Dou Wu and acted cautiously, wanting to get the Queen Mother's permission to do it again, but Dou Wu, who was full of thoughts about getting rid of the eunuchs, where could he listen, he had already felt the threat of the Son of Heaven, and it was estimated that the Son of Heaven would soon make an impact on the core of power in the DPRK.

At this time, you must act quickly, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, if you wait until the Son of Heaven takes power, you will never have a chance to get rid of the eunuchs!

With such an idea, despite the opposition of the ministers, the general Dou Wu began his own arrangements.

First, Dou Wu invited Feng Wenxi Marquis, and then invited his son Dou Ji, Feng Weiyang Marquis, Ren Shizhong, nephew Dou Shao Feng Yan Hou, moved to the infantry captain, in charge of one of the five armies in Beiying, Dou Shao's brother Dou Jing Feng Xixiang Marquis, for the service, Jian Yulin left horse, wantonly arranged Dou's children, and mastered the real power of the court.

And Dou Wu still felt that this preparation was not sufficient, so he recruited his cronies Yin Xun as Shang Shuling, Liu Yu as the servant, Feng Shu as the lieutenant of the Tun Cavalry, and recruited the deposed celebrities Li Ying, Liu Meng, the servant Du Mi, Zhu Yu, gathered in the imperial court, invited Yue Xun Yi to be the Zhonglang, and recruited Yingchuan Chen Yu as Peng's subordinate, and the entire court was replaced by the Dou faction.

Even the Northern Army, which was the most reassuring for the little fat man, was instantly controlled by the Dou Clan!

Even the guards are no longer completely controlled by the little fat man.

This series of changes made the little fat man a little surprised and vigilant, this Dou Wu, is he going to do it to himself?
