In the stone cave, after dinner, Liu Tong sat opposite Murong Qing.

"Senior, what's the matter with all this treasure and food?"

Murong Qing's face was solemn, and he seemed to be relieved. "It's a long story—"

In the second year of the founding (77 years), Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty established Dou Xian's sister as the queen, that is, Empress Zhangde. Dou Xian and Dou Du brothers are lucky, "the rewards are accumulated, the favor is flourishing, and the king, the lord, the yin, and the horse families are not afraid." Dou Xian was a lang at the beginning, and later served as a general in the middle of the service and the tiger in the middle of the lang. His younger brother Dou Du served as the waiter of the Yellow Gate. The two brothers, who are fortunate to be close to each other, and serve the palace province, are favored and prosperous, and the prince is sideways. Dou Xian was so pampered and deceived that he even bought Princess Qinshui's garden at a low price. The princess was afraid of Dou Xian's power and did not dare to compete with him.

One day, Emperor Zhang's car passed by here, and asked Yuan Tian, Dou Xian was speechless, not knowing how to answer, and at the same time secretly forbidding him to answer. Later, Emperor Zhang of Han learned about this incident, was furious, summoned Dou Xian, and reproached him deeply. Dou Xian was very scared. It was still the queen who destroyed the costume (lowered the level of the suit to show self-reproach) to apologize, and repeatedly pleaded on behalf of him, and Emperor Zhang gradually became angry and ordered him to return the garden to the princess. Although he was not punished for his crime this time, Emperor Zhang did not give him any more power after that.

Later, the Empress Dowager Dou came to the dynasty to weigh the system, and Dou Xian was the servant, keeping the secret of the inner master and announcing the edict outside. Coupled with Emperor Zhang's edict, Dou Xian's younger brother Dou Du was appointed as the Zhonglang general, and Dou Jing and Dou Gui were the permanent attendants, so the Dou Xian brothers were all in the important place, and the authority was unmatched for a while.

Dou Xian also involved friends. He saw that the Taiwei Deng Biao was humble and courteous, and he was indisputable, so he respected him and recommended him as the Taifu. Dou Xian wanted to do something, so he encouraged Deng Biao to play, and then confessed to the Queen Mother, so he did what he said. In addition, Huan Yu, the captain of the Tunqi School, has been the emperor's teacher for several generations, and his temperament is quiet and self-controlled, and Dou Xian also recommended him to teach the emperor scriptures in the palace ban. As a result, internal and external cooperation, no one can be unfavorable to Dou Xian.

Dou Xian has a resolute temperament, and he will not take revenge on his grievances. The confessor Han Xun once tried the case of Dou Xian's father Dou Xun, and Dou Xian actually had him killed, cut off his head and pay tribute in front of Dou Xun's tomb; Dou Xian was afraid that Liu Chang would divide the power of his palace and province, so he openly sent assassins to kill Liu Chang in the guard, and blamed Liu Chang's younger brother Lihou Liu Gang, and sent someone to interrogate Liu Gang. Later, the truth was revealed, and the Queen Mother was furious and confined Dou Xian in the inner palace.

Dou Xian knew that he was angry with the Queen Mother, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to preserve, and at this time, the Southern Xiongnu invited troops to the Northern Expedition, so he asked to attack the Xiongnu to atone for the death penalty. After Dou Xian was allowed to lead the Northern Expedition, he finally broke away from the center.

Dou Xian knows his sins, if he is defeated, he will definitely die, and if he is defeated, he will be eliminated by the emperor in power in the future! So make a plan!

Dou Xian moved the goods looted by his family for decades and the large amount of goods demanded from the imperial court and local governments in the name of going out to the grassland, and seized a large amount of goods in the battle with the Northern Xiongnu. Master the army and money and food, and if you are defeated or the court is not in your favor, you are ready to rebel and stand on your own!

At that time, the young Zhao Sheng had a relationship with Dou Xian, and after learning of Dou Xian's intentions, he deeply felt that if he rebelled, it would bring war to the Han Dynasty and cause the people of Li to be in dire straits! and continued to persuade.

At that time, Dou Xian was very afraid of defeat, and Zhao Sheng, together with his friends Cang Chunzi and his wife, Biyin, Murong Chui and others, even gave advice to Dou Xian, striving to make Dou Xian defeat.

Zhao Sheng and others could not participate in the big controversy because of their spiritual energy cultivation, but for the sake of the peace of the world, they also hated the Northern Huns' burning, killing, and plundering of the Han people, and even ignored the Taoist ban and participated in some of these things.

In particular, a large number of sorcerers of the Xiongnu also participated in the war, and buried some sick and dead livestock in the upper reaches of some water sources on the route of the Han army's march after being cursed.

Dou Xian was worshiped as the general of the chariot cavalry, with Geng Bing, the executive of Jinwu, as his deputy, each leading 4,000 cavalry, and more than 30,000 soldiers of the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Qianghu went on the expedition. Dou Xian sent more than 10,000 elite horsemen to break the Northern Xiongnu in Jiluo Mountain (now Ebugen Mountain in Outer Mongolia), and Beidan Yu fled. Dou Xian and Geng Bing took advantage of the victory to pursue, went deep into the Hanhai Desert for 3,000 miles, out of Jilusai (70 kilometers northwest of Dengkou County, Inner Mongolia), Nandan Yu walked out of the Manyi Valley, and the Liao general Deng Hong went out of Chouyang (now Guyang), the three armies met in Zhuo Evil Mountain, defeated the Northern Xiongnu in Jiluo Mountain, and reached Daihai (Tushenhai) in the north of the canal, killing more than 13,000 people and taking countless prisoners. Later, he climbed Yanran Mountain (now Hangai Mountain in Outer Mongolia). In Yanran Mountain, the stone is carved to remember the merit, and the history is called Yanran Le Stone.

With Dou Xian's success, Dou Xian's determination to rebel has decreased. But he did not completely abandon his vigilance against the imperial court, so he entrusted Zhao Sheng, who was well versed in the Five Elements and the Way of Kanyu, to choose a cave for himself. Although Dou Xian didn't know what Dou Xian was going to do, he also knew his purpose through analysis and investigation with Cang Chunzi, Biyin, Murong Chui and others.

After Dou Xian's great victory in the battle, he arranged for his henchmen to lead a thousand pro-army and escort 1,500 Xiongnu prisoners to transport the looted and seized property and the military rations that the lions had falsely claimed and plundered over the years to the cave that Zhao Sheng had selected for him.

Zhao Sheng pretended to leave after choosing the cave, but in fact, he had been observing with a few friends nearby. When several people found out that Dou Xian really stored his belongings, grain and grass here, they were sure that his rebellious heart was not dead. Zhao Sheng discussed countermeasures with Cang Chunzi and his wife, Biyin, and Murong Chui to no avail, and Zhao Sheng decided to persuade Dou Xian in person.

After Zhao Sheng left, Cang Chunzi, Biyin, Murong Chui and others discussed, thinking that Zhao Sheng could not convince Dou Xian, and at the same time, several people thought that Zhao Sheng had the best qualifications and was facing ascension, and they didn't want these things to affect his future, so they decided to put aside Zhao Sheng to give Dou Xian a salary and cut off his idea of rebellion.

Several people saw Dou Xian's subordinates enter the cave and kill thousands of soldiers when they killed the Hun coolies after the goods entered the cave!

Biyin and Cang Chunzi infiltrated Dou Xian's army and killed several officers who knew the location of the treasure, so far, no one knew about the location of the treasure in Dou Xian and his men.

Dou Xian was furious, and sent people to secretly look for treasures and Zhao Sheng and others, several of whom were masters of spiritual energy, and there was no trace of them since.

The imperial court worshiped Xian as a general, and he was a high third duke. The great victory of Yanran Mountain, coupled with the fact that Dou Xian had lost the property of the army, made Dou Xian firm in his determination to eliminate the Northern Xiongnu, hoping to establish greater merits to protect himself, and also hoped to gather a large amount of goods again.

In the third year of Yongyuan (91 years), Dou Xian sent troops to attack again, out of the fortress for 5,000 miles to attack Jinwei Mountain (now Altai Mountain), broke the main force of the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu, beheaded more than 5,000 people below the king, captured Beidan in the queen mother, and Beidan fled in a hurry and did not know what to do.

Dou Xian not only broke the Xiongnu, but also shocked the imperial court, and then the conspiracy to usurp the Han was exposed. Emperor Han He knew of his conspiracy and planned to eradicate Dou Xian with Zheng Zhong, a regular servant. In the fourth year of Yongyuan (92 years), Emperor He ordered the arrest of his henchmen, confiscated the seal of the general, changed the title of champion marquis, and later gave Dou Xian to death.

The news about Dou Xian's large hoarding of goods was also grasped by Emperor Han He, who also sent people everywhere to search for it, and finally learned that this matter was related to Daomen. During the period of Emperor Liu Bao of the Han Shun Dynasty, after years of fruitless searching, he came up with a way to lure the Daomen to tell the truth on the grounds that he wanted to select the real person who protected the country among the Zhengyi League, Shangqing, Yuqing, and Taiqing factions and establish the state religion, but no one in the Daomen knew the details except for Zhao Sheng.

In the search before and after the two dynasties, it also caused Zhao Sheng and Cang Chunzi to be suspected, and it was taboo to participate in secular disputes, and there were other reasons for Taoism, which finally caused Cang Chunzi and Zhang E to be hunted down, Biyin died tragically, and Murong Chui hid in the cave.

Zhao Sheng was not in the whirlpool of this matter because of the deliberate protection of Cang Chunzi and his wife, Biyin, and Murong Chui, although Zhang Daoling knew it, he was not punished at that time. Murong Chui followed Zhao Sheng's suggestion and lived in seclusion in the cave, first, he could take on the responsibility of guarding it, and more importantly, it was hidden here, and the five elements were complete, making it difficult for the Daomen to find it.

After Murong Chui heard what happened to Cang Chunzi and Biyin, he also knew that Zhao Sheng was righteous, but he felt that he was alone and determined to live up to the trust of everyone, so he had the future of his ancestors and grandchildren to protect this place.
