Chapter Seventy-Four: The Dilemma of Dou Ying

Empress Dowager Dou's eyes were able to see things, and she was no longer blind, and the news spread like the wind throughout the palace.

Everyone who knew the news entered the palace to congratulate them, after all, this is a big deal!

The first person to enter the palace was none other than Princess Tao, the daughter of Empress Dowager Dou.

Princess Guantao saw Empress Dowager Dou sitting there happily, with a smile on her face, and she was also very happy, after all, she can have the status of today, relying on her mother.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Dou saw a woman walk in, her appearance was somewhat similar to the pavilion pottery when she was a child, and she couldn't help asking: "But the pavilion pottery is here?" ”

When Princess Guantao heard this, she hurriedly said: "Mother, officially the child Guantao, as soon as the child heard that your eyes could see things, she hurriedly ran in. ”

Empress Dowager Dou was very happy when she heard this, and said with a smile: "You have a heart, come and come, more than ten years have passed, let Grandma take a good look at you." ”

Princess Guantao hurriedly lifted her skirt when she heard this, and walked up quickly, Empress Dowager Dou looked at her daughter, not to mention how happy she was, pulled her to sit next to her, and began to babble some words, probably because of her daughter or something.

Princess Guantao also accompanied these words, sobbing beside her, echoing her voice, as if what the Empress Dowager Dou said was true.

But Dou Ying, who was sitting at the bottom, heard this, and hurriedly pursed his lips disdainfully, and said in his heart, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, you may not know how powerful your daughter is.

She can do what the princes and ministers can't do, and she dares to collect the money that the princes and ministers don't dare to collect, such as the filial piety of the princes and kings, etc., she is still bitter? I'm afraid that the sum of the money in the inner treasury of the Son of Heaven is not as much as hers.

However, the mother and daughter chatter, how can Dou Ying interject? He could only sit there and listen quietly.

After a while, Empress Bo came, and after everyone saluted, Empress Bo looked at Empress Dowager Dou with red eyes and said, "Queen Mother, daughter-in-law congratulates you on your eye recovery." ”

Empress Dowager Dou sighed when she heard this and said, "I haven't really recovered yet, and now I'm just not blind, and I can see some things in the near distance." ”

"That's excellent, too." Queen Bo's delicate voice sounded again, but there was a trace of panic and uneasiness in her voice.

Empress Dowager Dou understands that Empress Bo's current situation is not very good, her backer aunt and grandmother, Empress Dowager Bo, has just died, and she has nothing to do, which is an extremely terrible thing.

After all, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, especially for the queen of a country, the end is generally not too good.

Thinking of her own situation back then, as well as the Empress Dowager Bo's kindness to herself, thinking that Empress Bo was very virtuous and never lacked courtesy, so she sighed again and said, "That's it! In the future, you can come to the palace of the old body more, accompany the old body to chat, walk around more, don't be as young as the old woman. ”

As soon as these words came out, Dou Ying and Guan Tao were very surprised, because the people present were all thoughtful people, and the Empress Dowager Dou said one thing, Queen Bo will cover me in the future, if anyone bullies you, you come here to tell me, I will stand up for you.

Queen Bo suddenly cried with joy, bowed to the ground and said, "Daughter-in-law, thank you to the queen mother, thank you to the queen mother." ”

has this sentence, as long as the Empress Dowager Dou is still alive, even if Emperor Jing wants to move her, I am afraid she will have to weigh it.

"Get up, it's all a family, why do you have to make such a big gift? Besides, you're just as poor as the old man! Empress Dowager Dou sighed: "Go, help your imperial sister-in-law up." The latter sentence is said to Guantao.

Princess Guantao did not dare to disobey the old lady's words, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help Queen Bo.

After Queen Bo sat down, Princess Guantao said: "Mother, your eyes are better, this is a big thing, do you want to celebrate?" ”

When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she couldn't help but glare at Princess Guantao and said, "Don't." Although Empress Dowager Dou wanted to do so in her heart, she couldn't do it at this time.

Princess Guantao instantly woke up to the fact that this was the mourning period of the Empress Dowager, and Liu Wu, the king of Chu, was killed by Emperor Jing at the behest of the Empress Dowager because of this.

If Empress Dowager Dou dares to celebrate, wouldn't it be a matter of authority? What will the princes and kings think?

But Queen Bo next to her said: "Queen Mother, according to the daughter-in-law, this is a big deal after all, it is better to reward the chamberlain with some money, and let them bathe in the kindness of the Queen Mother, and it can also be regarded as some rewards for preparing the Queen Mother's funeral in the early stage, Queen Mother, what do you think?" ”

When Empress Dowager Dou heard that this idea was good, she couldn't help but nod her head and agreed with this opinion.

Princess Guantao took a deep look at this thin queen with a thin body and a somewhat cowardly personality, I didn't expect her to have such knowledge, it's a pity! Pity! No children under your knees, otherwise...

Dou Ying did not participate in the whole process, because he was afraid that the Empress Dowager Dou would think of him again and then scold him, so he had been an ostrich.

However, things are not so simple, I only heard Princess Guantao continue: "The imperial brother is now in the upper court, otherwise he must have rushed over." ”

"The major affairs of the family and the country are also hard for him." Empress Dowager Dou said.

Princess Guantao said happily again: "Mother, you should quickly write a letter to Brother Wu and tell him the good news, he must be very happy, maybe he will rush to Chang'an soon." ”

When Empress Dowager Dou heard this, she instantly became even more happy, she loved Liu Wu, the king of Liang, that was a well-known thing, and Guan Tao's words just went up to her heart.

However, the Empress Dowager Dou did not agree, but turned her head, looked at Dou Ying who was eating and drinking with her head down, and said, "Dou Ying, do you say what Guan Tao said just now?" Can the old Wu'er come to Chang'an? ”

Dou Ying couldn't help but pause when she heard the chopsticks in her hand, and said with a wry smile: "Queen Mother, your old man is embarrassing me!" ”

Princes and kings are not allowed to enter Beijing without a holy decree unless they worship and major festivals, such as ancestor worship and heaven worship.

Dou Ying was originally the vanguard of opposing King Liang's succession, if he came up with the idea of letting King Liang enter Beijing, hehe, Emperor Jing was not good at explaining it and not mentioning it for the time being, he would give people the impression of grass on the wall, which was where Dou Ying was very embarrassed.

But Empress Dowager Dou now made it clear that she was letting him make up her mind, firstly, to get out of the bad breath at the beginning, and secondly, to really meet her youngest son, Liu Wu, King of Liang, although Liu Wu had just been gone for less than a month.

But when the Empress Dowager Dou is old, the old man is reasonable, and he can be willful, which is all forged by her supreme position in the Han Dynasty.

What can Dou Ying do? If you are evil to the Empress Dowager Dou this time, I am afraid that you will really not want to be an official for the rest of your life, at this time, Dou Ying hated Tao Qing a little, and blamed him for what bad idea he had.

What a dilemma! This is a true portrayal of him.
