Dou touched Liu Che's face, and he had a plan in his heart. This grandson of mine has really grown up, and the corners of his mouth are fluffy, and he is no longer the naughty child he used to be. Dou couldn't say whether he was happy or unhappy, he just felt strange in his heart.

The chamberlain interrupted Dou's contemplation: "Empress Dowager, Zhuang Qingzhai and Su Ren are asking to see each other outside!" ”

Dou smiled: "This Zhuang Qingzhai is really not giving up, let them wait!" ”

"No!" The chamberlain agreed and slowly withdrew.

Liu Concubine knelt in front of Dou with an aggrieved face, her eyes were red and swollen, she was still sobbing, and the heavy makeup she painted had been spent, and she looked more like those shrews on the street who scolded their men with their hands crossed and their waists.

"Mother! The child was wronged! While speaking, he kept wiping his tears with a handkerchief: "No matter how bold the child is, he doesn't dare to do that kind of thing, falsely preaching the holy decree, abducting the guards of the Jianzhang Palace, and almost killing people, these are all capital crimes!" Someone must have framed the child, and the mother has to make the decision for the child, woo woo woo ......"

For his daughter, Dou knows a lot about it. The youngest son, King Liang, died inexplicably on the way back to the fiefdom, and there was a shadow of her eldest daughter. Dou Shi sighed, and his voice was indifferent: "Don't cry, you know better than me whether you have done it or not, whether you do it or not, I advise you, now that Wei Fuzi is pregnant with the emperor's child, she and the people around her can't have any accidents, do you know?" ”

"Mother!" Liu Concubine still wanted to speak, but Dou Shi didn't mean to listen anymore, and waved his hand to signal that Liu Concubine could leave.

Listening to his daughter's footsteps, Dou shook his head and sighed. His three children, the eldest son and the third son, are dead. Now there is only this daughter left, but his daughter is too domineering and too public, which is not a good thing. made a gesture to the palace people, and soon there were footsteps at the palace gate, and the chamberlain led Zhuang Qingzhai and Su Ren in.

The two wanted to salute, but they were stopped by the Dou family, and for the first time, they asked Su Ren to sit, but they ignored Zhuang Qingzhai. What's even more strange is that Zhuang Qingzhai did not show any dissatisfaction with such an arrangement, but stood respectfully beside Su Ren.

"You two have come together to find the mourning family, what is the matter?"

Zhuang Qingzhai hurriedly saluted: "The Empress Dowager, Su Yilang has a way to get rid of the chaos in Chang'an, so the minister dared to bring Su Yilang to meet the Empress Dowager." ”

Su Ren didn't know how many times he had greeted Zhuang Qingzhai's ancestors, and when he heard him say this kind of thing, he was still rolling his eyes at Zhuang Qingzhai. Zhuang Qingzhai turned a blind eye, the Empress Dowager Dou couldn't see it in the first place, and as for the other palace people, they only didn't see it if they saw it.

Dou Shi sighed: "Then let's talk about it, let the mourning family listen to it, they all say that Su Ren is talented, and the mourning family has also seen what even the emperor and courtiers can't do, how are you going to deal with it." ”

Dou asked, Su Ren had to answer, but he was still angry in his heart: "It's not difficult to say, since Haoqiang is making trouble, one word, arrest!" ”

"Well, that's the truth, and what else?"

"It's gone!"

Zhuang Qingzhai hurriedly said: "What Su Yilang means is that he will transfer the army into Chang'an and arrest all the heroes who make trouble, which coincides with the minister's thoughts. ”

"Really?" Dou asked.

Su Ren understood, it seemed that the matter in Chang'an touched Zhuang Qingzhai's interests, and Zhuang Qingzhai advocated the transfer of troops into the city. Of course, the emperor certainly didn't mean that, so he didn't really implement it. Judging from the current situation, the Dou family did not support Zhuang Qingzhai's approach, and Zhuang Qingzhai wanted to pull Su Ren to open his eyes for him. However, Su Ren didn't understand, why did Zhuang Qingzhai pull him?

Su Ren thought for a while, no matter why, Zhuang Qingzhai must not be allowed to succeed, and said: "Weichen doesn't mean this, the matter of transferring troops depends on how to think and how to do it?" In the long run, there has to be a more secure approach. ”

"So what's the best way to do it in the long run?"

"Drive all the heroes out of Chang'an!" Su Ren didn't think twice.

Although the Dou family does not have much political vision, she has also been in the palace for decades, and she still understands the little of the royal family. As soon as Su Ren's words came out, the Dou clan immediately understood how difficult this matter was, and why the emperor did it despite the chaos in Chang'an.

Dou Shi didn't say anything, Zhuang Qingzhai also reacted, and turned his head to look at Su Ren vigilantly. Su Ren pretended to be inexplicable: "What? Am I not right? Weichen doesn't have much insight, and he doesn't understand any big truth, when Weichen was in Shu County, he saw the monkeys in the mountains, as the monkey king, all the monkeys who threatened his status as the monkey king will be driven out, although the energy of Haoqiang is not so great, but they have endangered Chang'an, endangered the people of Chang'an, since they are black sheep, expulsion may be a good way. ”

"Haoqiang thinks he is a chivalrous guest, in fact, they are all parasites, they don't work, they bully the weak, they take it by force, and they have been angry and resentful recently, not to mention anything else, Weichen is responsible for building Taixue has also stopped work because of the blows of Haoqiang, and Sima Junshi, a friend of the minister, has been beaten, this is a project ordered by His Majesty personally, all of them are like this, how are the ordinary people of Chang'an, don't ask yourself!"

"Do you know how much strength it takes to expel Haoqiang?" Zhuang Qingzhai had already begun to gasp.

Su Ren shook his head: "I don't know, but I only know that I have to do one thing well, and I don't have to care about any strength, when Gaozu wanted to get rid of the tyrannical Qin, he shouldn't have cared how much effort it takes, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Dou couldn't help but nodded.

Zhuang Qingzhai knew that Su Ren was now the emperor's person, and he said this, even if it was not the emperor's instructions, I am afraid he knew the emperor's thoughts, but he Zhuang Qingzhai was already riding a tiger, and it was too late to change his words: "How can such a trivial matter as Haoqiang be compared with Gaozu to eliminate the tyranny of Qin?" ”

"Naturally, it can't be compared, I'm only talking about the method, although I don't know what's involved, I know one thing, we must not let a tumor like Haoqiang stay in Chang'an and harm the people!"

The righteousness that Su Ren said was awe-inspiring. After saying so much in one breath, Su Ren reached out to grab the water cups on a few cases, but found that there was nothing, his eyes began to look around, and the palace man with eyes hurriedly poured Su Ren a glass of water. They can be on an errand here in the Dou family, and they will not lack cleverness, and they can see the calm face of the Empress Dowager, and they appreciate the young man in front of them.

There is a big difference between the Dou family and the Empress Lu back then, she doesn't have such a strong sense of power, in the heart of the old lady Dou, she only wants to keep the Han for her husband and son, whether it is to earn power with the emperor or ruthlessly execute so many Confucian students, it is all for the Han, but her vision is a little shallow. As for the matter of King Liang and Princess Guantao, it is purely a mother's doting on her children.

Su Ren took a sip of water: "Don't say it, the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Doctor also know, why are these heroes so unscrupulous in Chang'an, the people behind them are the reason for their arrogance, Your Majesty is young, just ascended the throne, there is a gap than those who are deep-rooted, the rebellion of the Seven Kings back then, it is not so much the rebellion of the Seven Kings, but the combination of the inside and the outside, if the Empress Dowager wants my Han to always be peaceful, then it has to stabilize Chang'an, stabilize the national capital, even if the princes have ideas, as long as Chang'an is ironclad, what can those people do!" ”

"Well, that's good!" Dou's unprecedented statement, Zhuang Qingzhai chuckled in his heart. Dou continued: "It seems that you really have some insight, the emperor values you and has his reasons, so how can you expel you?" ”

Su Ren sincerely saluted the Dou clan this time, and he shook his head: "Weichen has no choice!" ”

"Huh!" Zhuang Qingzhai sneered twice: "There is no way, what you say is so demagogic? ”

Su Ren glanced at Zhuang Qingzhai and said, "Maybe the proposal of the Imperial Doctor to transfer troops is a good choice!" ”

"How?"

"Now Chang'an, whether it is the Southern Army, or Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, Right Fufeng, the Forbidden Army, the Royal Forest Army and Haoqiang, or the people behind Haoqiang, are inextricably linked, and it is obviously not possible to use these people to expel Haoqiang, so the minister suggested that the troops be transferred and outsiders should be used to do things, even if something goes wrong, it is easy to control!"

Dou nodded again and again: "How is the Northern Army?" ”

"However, you have to choose a usable general, you have to be loyal to the Han, and you have to be a general who leads the troops, and you can deal with it in time if something happens."

Dou Shi opened his empty eyes and didn't speak for a long time. Zhuang Qingzhai didn't think about such a thing, but the transfer of troops he proposed was just to calm the chaos in Chang'an, and he would not be stupid enough to move the interests of the emperor's relatives and relatives. But Su Ren's words made it difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he must have put forward the proposal to transfer troops first, if he really started to expel him, Su Ren was by no means the first person to be angered.

After a long while, Dou suddenly said loudly: "Spread the will of the mourning family, transfer the northern army into Chang'an, and order Li Guang and Cheng to be under the command of the emperor!" ”

The chamberlain hurriedly agreed, walked in front of Dou, and raised his hands respectfully. Dou trembled and took out a brocade box from under his buttocks, slowly opened it, and fumbled for a small piece of bronze from it. This is the tiger talisman, which resembles a tiger and looks more like a leopard, with seal characters engraved on its body. It's really a bit small, and no matter how you look at it, you can't connect it with the seal letter of the transfer of troops.

Dou handed over the tiger talisman to the chamberlain, who hurriedly left the palace with the tiger talisman in hand. Zhuang Qingzhai looked tired, now that the wood is in the boat, it is too late to say anything. Counting today, this is the third time to regret it, the first time I regretted pit Xuchang, the second time I regretted that I proposed the transfer of troops, and the third time I regretted bringing Su Ren into Changle Palace.

The flying horse with the wild goose feather on his head has gone to the north of the city, and it will not be until the evening, and the news of the empress dowager's transfer of the northern army into Chang'an will spread in Chang'an, whether it is Haoqiang or the emperor's relatives. Su Ren didn't have the heart to think about what they would do, and turned his head to look at Zhuang Qingzhai beside him. Zhuang Qingzhai looked depressed, and his walking was a little unsteady.

"Zhuang Yushi? I'm okay with that, right? ”

Zhuang Qingzhai glared at Su Ren: "You are going to kill the old man!" ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty will never kill a Imperial Doctor!"

"Do you think that when the Northern Army enters Chang'an, will you still use Your Majesty to do it?"
