Mencius said: The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light, so the people of the hill are the sons of heaven, the sons of heaven are the princes, the princes are the doctors, and the princes are in danger. The sacrifice is completed, the prosperity is clean, and the ancestors are worshipped, but the early dry water overflows, and the community is changed to ....... ”

Before Dou Ying's words were finished, Dou Shi shouted loudly and interrupted: "At every turn, Mencius said, why are you still so obsessed with Wei Qihou?" ”

Dou Ying hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The Empress Dowager is angry, these words are golden and jade words, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Gaozu is because of tolerance to the people, in order to eliminate the tyranny of Qin, resist Western Chu, and win the world, my Han Dynasty has been founded for a hundred years, Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing are resting with the people, so that the people of the world can get rid of the bitter sea of Qin, which is the prosperity of today's Han Dynasty, these all verify what Mencius said. ”

"You still say!" Dou smashed the case with his fist and made a bang: "Since you said that the first emperor did everything right, why do you want to turn your back on the first emperor's inaction and rule, what kind of Confucianism do you learn?" ”

"This time and that time! In the early years of the Han Dynasty, the world was in ruins, and it was feasible to rule by doing nothing, but now the Han Dynasty is already prosperous, if it continues to rule by doing nothing, it is not good for the imperial court, but let the princes and kings become bigger, and it will not take a few years to be the next rebellion of the Seven Kings! ”

"Bastard! You get me out! Get out! Dou coughed hard, he was about to be mad by Dou Ying, if he didn't see him as his nephew, he would have the heart to kill him.

Prime Minister Xu Chang hurriedly came in with a silk silk in his hand, and saw that the Empress Dowager Dou was angry and wanted to go out, but it was too late. Hurriedly knelt down beside Dou Ying and saluted the Empress Dowager.

"What's the matter? Could it be that Su Ren killed another hundred Royal Forest Army? What did Tingwei and Jing Zhaoyin do? They don't even look at such a big rebellious thing? ”

Xu Chang hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager, what Weichen came this time has nothing to do with Su Ren!" ”

"Why is that? Since that Su Ren came to Chang'an, he hasn't let people live in peace every day! ”

"Empress Dowager, a notice has appeared on the streets of Chang'an recently, Weichen has brought it, and the Empress Dowager will know it at a glance."

"You!" Dou almost vomited blood, and pressed it again: "Read!" ”

As soon as Xu Chang's words came out, cold sweat flowed down his back spine, letting a blind man look at the silk silk and purely look for death. Hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Weichen is a capital crime, please calm the anger of the Empress Dowager, the notice is very long, Weichen took a look, it is to expose the princess of the pavilion Tao Chang's flying and domineering, a total of ten crimes are listed, the first ......"

"Who? Pavilion pottery? That Su Ren did it again, right? ”

"Wechen has sent someone to investigate, but we haven't found out who did it."

"Humph! What do you say is the use of the court raising you? You can't do such a trivial thing, you can figure it out with your toes, but you told the mourning family that it hasn't been traced yet? ”

Dou Ying grabbed the notice in Xu Chang's hand and read it at a glance. gasped, the rhetoric of the notice was not gorgeous, it could be said to be straightforward, just an emphasis on the usual speech. But the crimes listed have examples for each one, from human evidence to physical evidence, if these things are true, Princess Guantao was more than enough to be divided by five horses.

Xu Chang lowered his head and trembled, not daring to say a word. Dou took a big breath of relief, the old lady was really angry, first her nephew rebelled, and then her own daughter made trouble, and there was a shadow of a person behind both things, that is, Su Ren.

"Come on! Spread the will of the mourning family, put Su Ren in prison, injured the prince of Tangyi, collapsed the horizontal gate, and killed more than 100 royal forest soldiers, and now bewitch these two unsuccessful people to mourn the family, Xuchang, you are the prime minister, what kind of crime do you say such a person should be convicted of? ”

"Ling Chi!" Xu Chang always lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Then Ling Chi!"

"Whoa!" The waiter agreed and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.

Dou Ying was still about to speak, but he felt that someone was pulling the corner of his clothes. Turning his head, he found that it was Xu Chang who was kneeling beside him, and Xu Chang gave him a look with a sideways face. Dou Ying had no choice but to swallow back the words that had reached his mouth.

There was a dead silence in the Hall of Longevity. The Empress Dowager Dou sat on the couch with an angry face and two empty eyes looking quietly ahead. Su Ren's death sentence has been announced, and it is still Ling Chi. Dou Ying felt a little unbearable in his heart, although that kid was a little arrogant, he also had some skills, and he was young, and more importantly, this son was not exclusive to Confucianism. When His Majesty is in power, he can become a pillar of the country after a few years of training.

Xu Chang also couldn't bear it, he had heard of the trade routes in Shu County, and knew that the actual backstage of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce was Su Ren. Xuchang has already connected with the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, if he can be given another half or even a few months, and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce will be brought under his wings, then he can successfully retire and no longer have to live in such fear.

The chamberlain who went out returned, and he did not know if the will had been passed down. The chamberlain hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Dou's ear, and Dou's slightly calmed anger instantly rose again.

"Nonsense! Is this going to be a rebellion? There are hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an, how can she block the mouth of one person, how can she block the mouth of many people? Dou slapped the table again: "What about Jing Zhaoyin?" He just watched it and didn't care? ”

The chamberlain lowered his head: "Jing Zhaoyin went, was scolded back by the eldest princess, those who had read the notice were all arrested into the princess's mansion, it is said that the princess's mansion is almost unstoppable, Jing Zhaoyin is afraid that the people will make trouble, and has sent someone to protect the princess's mansion, the queen mother does not have to worry." ”

"Worried? What is there to worry about in a princess's house? I'm worried about the face of the big man! Dou Shi pointed to the audience: "Dou Ying, you go, go and bring the pavilion pottery to me, release everyone, who gave the pavilion Tao this idea?" This man should be killed! ”

"Whoa!" Dou Ying hurriedly agreed, walked to the door of the main hall, and turned back and said, "Then Su Ren ......"

"You still have the leisure to take care of Su Ren, let you go and announce the decree to Su Ren, but you were arrested, don't be locked up by Guantao this time!"

Dou Ying's face was red, and he went out resignedly. There were only two people left in the Longevity Palace, Dou and Xuchang, who were angry, and under the service of several palace people, Dou slowly lay down and rested. I was angry all morning, Dou felt dizzy and swollen, and I should vomit blood if I did it again.

"Bai Zhihou, Guan Tao is competitive, this mourning family knows, but it is the first time that she is so domineering, it can't be someone's trick, right? Chang'an is the national capital, how bold is she to send people to arrest people all over the street? ”

Xu Chang didn't dare to reply, she was a mother and daughter, and she was an outsider, so it was better not to say this kind of thing.

Dou sighed: "These children, none of them make people worry-free, I wanted to do nothing, we old guys can enjoy our old age in peace, who would have thought that the more I don't want to care, the more accidents will happen, and now even those businessmen have bullied the emperor's head, in a few days, will they be able to dominate the fortune of the Han Dynasty?" ”

"The Empress Dowager is angry, this will never happen! Shinong industry and commerce, business is the end of the four people, businessmen are only merry, not to produce but brocade clothes and jade food, it is really a moth in the world, Weichen immediately began to rectify, will never let businessmen become bigger. ”

Dou nodded: "Shinong Industry and Commerce, this seems to be what Confucianism says, right?" ”

Xu Chang's heart tightened, and he kowtowed again: "The Empress Dowager atons for her sins, Weichen has no unintentional words, and there is no intention to advocate Confucianism, only Huang Lao is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty in Weichen's heart, and only by doing nothing can the world be peaceful, so that my Han will be cast forever!" ”

Dou shook his head: "Although the mourning family likes Huang Lao, they also know that the governance of the country cannot be based on the words of one family alone, whether it is Huang Lao's Taoism, or Confucius and Mencius's Confucianism, as long as it can make my Han prosperous, it doesn't matter who I use, it is rumored that I will put those Confucian students in prison, I can't get used to them Confucianism, now I tell you, they are wrong, the mourning family is not used to them plucking the emperor, alienated from me!" ”

"How can I say that the mourning family is also the emperor's grandmother, how can there be a grandmother who doesn't like her grandson? The emperor is still young, and his ability to govern the country is not enough, what is the purpose of those Confucian scholars who kicked me away from His Majesty? Don't you want to grasp the authority of my Han through Your Majesty? Zhao Juan and Wang Zang are already dead, and those who are the happiest have also been disposed of, and the others are locked up first, when the emperor knows that he is wrong, when will he release it. ”

"The Empress Dowager is far-sighted, and Weichen should obey the Empress Dowager's arrangement, and die for His Majesty and the Han Dynasty!"

"And that Su Ren, he also has some courage and wisdom, but it's a pity that he didn't use it on the right path, a good filial piety, or a big doctor who mourned his family, but what kind of businessman do you want to do? For the sake of his children's personal feelings, he stirred up Chang'an's miasma, and I heard that he also went to Pingyang and wanted to see the emperor? ”

"Yes! In the assassination of Songlin Town, Su Ren risked his life to save Li Danghu, who replaced His Majesty, and also saved dozens of injured people. ”

"Oh? He's still a little conscientious! ”

Xu Chang saw that Dou's face softened a little, and asked tentatively, "Then ......, ...... Su Ren?" ”

"Why, you have to intercede for him too?" Dou's eyebrows immediately raised.

Xu Chang prostrate on the ground again: "Wechen didn't mean that, Wechen just asked the Empress Dowager if she really wanted to Ling Chi Su Ren, how to say that he also saved His Majesty's life, if His Majesty comes back and learns that Su Ren was Ling Chi, I'm afraid the estrangement with the Empress Dowager will deepen again!" So Wechen ......"

Dou pondered for a long time: "Then what do you say should be done?" The Imperial Forest Army is His Majesty's own army, how could he kill him if he said so? Shut it up first, I want to see how His Majesty comes back and deal with this matter!" ”

"Whoa!" Xu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he couldn't die, or he couldn't die for the time being, then Su Ren had to remember his good.

After agreeing on Su Ren's matter, Dou Ying also brought the princess Liu Yan. Liu Yan was angry, and as soon as she entered the door, she began to scold those palace people and maids, disgusted that she didn't pour water for her, and that the water was too hot. tossed those palace people and maids one by one, and then sat down angrily. No one spoke, not even Dou, just watched Liu Yan toss around.

"Woo woo woo ......" Suddenly, Liu Yan cried, this is an unprecedented event.
