Chapter Ninety-Six: The Emperor's ......

The hot summer seems to have infected the entire Han Dynasty, the army of the court and the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms were engaged in a hard and crazy battle in this summer, the Son of Heaven executed Chao Cuo, and abolished the "Cutting Order" to the world, but Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was satisfied with Zhengzhi at this time, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and always felt that he should be able to clean up the court, so he was naturally unwilling to retreat, and also imprisoned Yuan An, the messenger of Yanhe sent by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and made it clear that the chariot and horse wanted to overthrow the court and be the son of heaven himself.

On the road of Wu Chu's army to the west to capture Luoyang, Emperor Jing's younger brother Liu Wu's feudal state of Liang was in the middle. Wu Chu's army broke through the thorny wall south of the Liang state, and the area around the Liang state completely became a battlefield for the court army to fight with the rebels.

At that time, Zhou Yafu led the Han army to Changyi, north of the Liang State, with deep ditches and high bases for defense. The Liang State, which was very anxious by the Wu-Chu coalition forces, sent envoys to ask for help, but Zhou Yafu stuck to the camp and did not come to the rescue.

Liang sent a letter to Emperor Jing, and Emperor Jing sent envoys to order the Taiwei to rescue Liang. Zhou Yafu did not carry it out, and the wall did not come out. And when Wu Chu's contempt rose, he sent the bow marquis Han Qidang and others to lead the light cavalry south, seize the mouth of Surabaya into Huai, cut off the grain routes behind Wu and Chu, and put them in a predicament.

The Wu army was mostly infantry, which was conducive to danger and obstacles; The Han army was mostly ridden, which was conducive to flat land. The battle was fought on the Huaibei Plain, and the Wu army was in a disadvantageous position. The Liang state also held on to Suiyang (present-day Shangqiunan, Henan), which the Wu army could not cross. The Wu army went north to the Zhou Yafu military camp in Xiayi (now Dangshan, Anhui) to seek battle. As a result, the Wu army was defeated, and many soldiers starved to death and rebelled. Zhou Yafu sent elite troops to pursue, and Wu Wangbi led thousands of defeated soldiers to flee and retreat to Dantu (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) south of the Yangtze River.

And Dou Ying sent an envoy to instigate the Dongyue people in the Wu army to oppose Wu. The Dongyue people killed Wu Wangbi. King Wu of Chu also committed suicide in defeat. The Wu-Chu rebellion began in mid-March and ended in less than three months.

And in Qidi, Jiaoxi and other kingdom soldiers surrounded Linzi, and it was not down for three months. General Luan Bu led the army to advance, and the kings of Jiaoxi, Jiaodong, Zichuan, and Jinan either committed suicide or ambushed them. The king of Qi made Lu a meritorious defender of Hancheng, but he planned to seize the throne, and later participated in the planning of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, especially when he was besieged, he conspired with the king of Jiaoxi and others, so he could not meet the Han and was forced to commit suicide.

In Zhaodi, the king of Zhao withdrew his troops to hold Handan, and Li sent an attack on it. The Huns knew that Wu Chu was defeated, and they refused to enter the Han border to help Zhao. After Luan Bu pacified the kingdoms of Qidi, the army and Li Ji jointly diverted water to irrigate Handan City, Handan City was broken, and King Zhao committed suicide.

--------------------

And on the third day when the Son of Heaven announced that King Wu Liu Bi was ambushed and the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was pacified, it was also exactly a month after Dou Yan participated in the Chen Ji Changguan ceremony, Dou Yan came to Weiyang Palace again, and it was still the first time he saw the Qilin Hall of Emperor Jing of Han.

Dou Yan, who walked into the hall, saw that in addition to the Son of Heaven in the hall, there was also a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting cross-legged and holding a black-faced little Zhengtai, his heart couldn't help jumping slightly, and he respectfully walked to the hall to stop and salute, naturally the favorite concubine of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Wang Huan, and the little Liu Che.

"In the blink of an eye, it's been a few months, but you've grown a little taller, come here, and sit down beside me." Emperor Han Jing stroked his short, sparse beard and smiled. At the same time, he ordered the eunuch to bring a mat and motioned for Dou Yan to sit down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your seat. I don't know what happened when His Majesty summoned Yan today? Dou Yan was not polite, stood up generously, walked to Emperor Han Jing and sat down.

"As I said before, good news has come from Xingyang, the king of Wu Liu Bi has been ambushed, the general trend of the rebels has gone, the general trend of the world is present, and your father has made great contributions to the dynasty......"

Dou Yan smiled slightly: "Father Yan thanked Your Majesty for his praise, but compared to the generals, although my father has a little merit, it is really insignificant." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Han Jing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he had seen those who asked for merit, he had seen those who grabbed merit, and he had really never seen this kind of modesty method.

Dou Yan pondered for a moment and then spoke: "My father's martial arts are not as good as Yu Hou and Qu Zhouhou, the art of war is not as good as Jiang Hou, and the siege of the city is not as good as Gong Gaohou, but he can occupy a high position among the generals, suppress the army in Xingyang, and coordinate all the armies, so that the court can win a big victory. ”

Little pony, the corners of the old and cunning Emperor Han Jingdi's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled disappreciatively, what is the difference between such sycophants and those who said they heard in the court before?

Even Wang Huan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but shake her head slightly, revealing a look of disappointment. However, the little Liu Che still blinked his big black eyes and looked at Dou Yan, who was kneeling and sitting straight.

"I originally thought that this kid was a big talent, and I didn't want to ......" After being a prince for more than 20 years, Emperor Han Jingdi, who consciously saw people and knew people, thought in his heart, and there was a faint hint of displeasure in his originally warm voice. Since you have said that I have done the greatest work, then I wonder if you can talk about it, so that I can also know a thing or two? ”

Dou Yan couldn't see the change in the expressions of the two of them, but Dou Yan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and said with a normal face: "The sea is crossing, and the true character of the hero is revealed." The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was like thunder and lightning. However, His Majesty was not alarmed by the chaos, fought the violence with righteousness, planned his troops, and was good at accepting the opinions of the people, and broke hundreds of thousands of rebels within a few months, and wiped them out one by one.

Your Majesty's prestige lies in the unchanging, wisdom lies in the time, opportunity lies in responding to things, war lies in controlling the spirit, fear lies in fear of the small, wisdom lies in governing the big, war lies in breaking up, and serving the public lies in the right and below. Therefore, Yan thought that without His Majesty's wisdom, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, which affected almost the entire Han Dynasty, would not be able to be pacified in such a short period of time. ”

Dou Yan's words were impassioned, and those eight short sentences were completed in one go, so that Han Jing Yanjing couldn't help but feel swaying, let alone others. And Wang Huan, the favorite concubine who had just shown a look of disappointment, couldn't help but be shocked at the moment.

“…… Prestige lies in the same, wisdom lies in the time, opportunity lies in the response, war lies in the control of the spirit, fear lies in the fear of the small, wisdom lies in the governance of the big, war lies in the break, and the service lies in the ......" Emperor Han Jing took a long time to come back to his senses, chewing Dou Yan's words repeatedly in his mouth, and looked Dou Yan up and down several times. "I didn't expect that Dou Wang Sun gave birth to such a clever son as you."

"I really didn't expect to be able to say such insightful words, it seems that your majesty is afraid that he will have another good material again." Wang Wan also regained her composure, hugged Xiao Liu Che and smiled gently.

"Hehe, yes, among the Dou family, there are very few people who can be used, but they can be called big people, only your father is alone, and now, there is one more Dou Yan, hehe......" Emperor Han Jingdi's gaze at Dou Yan also became a little different.

"Your Majesty, thank you, Yan is young and ignorant, not as good as my father." Dou Yan was relieved at this time, and history had not completely deviated from its original trajectory. At least, his dad has finally completed a mission that he should have done in history. What's more important is that this time he didn't have an awkward relationship with the Son of Heaven again, and he didn't say anything, but responded to the order.

--------------------

At that historical time and space, his father was too close to his surname, and he repeatedly refused to give face to the emperor, which made Liu Qi, the Emperor of Han Jing, who was already very deep in the city, put him on the blacklist that could not be used.

And now, he came, under his own persuasion, Dad rushed back to the court before the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and at the beginning of the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Dad made a "Tui En Order" with tears of heart, and then brought the work of pacifying the Seven Kingdoms, at least, let Emperor Han Jing see his talent at the same time, but also let him know that his father is a doer who has the courage to do things, is loyal to the court, and is loyal to the Son of Heaven, and has been recognized by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

At least Emperor Jing of Han was able to summon himself at this time, and also praised his father, which already made Dou Yan feel quite satisfied. After that, Emperor Han Jing chatted with Dou Yan about some gossip, Dou Yan also dealt with it decently, Emperor Han Jing told Dou Yan very satisfied, originally wanted to reward you, but it was delayed due to the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and now, the rebellion has been decided, your father has made great contributions to the society, just wait for your father to return to the dynasty, and then talk about meritorious deeds.

Dou Yan doesn't have any opinions, anyway, Emperor Han Jing is definitely not bad for money, but he is at least stingy enough to do so much effort that he refuses to give even three melons and two dates.

"This kid is quite successful." Looking at Dou Yan's back as he disappeared outside the palace gate, Emperor Han Jing turned his head and smiled at Wang Wan. "Fang Cai's remarks, I'm afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, it is difficult for a few to be able to say it."

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the concubine can't imagine that the Dou family can produce such a pair of father and son, it seems that the Queen Mother still has a vision for her old man." Wang Wan smiled gently at Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

"That's it. Hehehe, come over and let my father hug me. Emperor Han Jing beckoned to the little Liu Che, and the little guy immediately stood up from Wang Huan's side, ran towards Emperor Han Jing, and immediately threw himself into Emperor Han Jing's arms.

"Haha, I didn't expect our family's Yi'er to be heavy again, and my father couldn't hold it." Holding his beloved son, the smile on Emperor Han Jingdi's face couldn't help but increase a little more.

"Your Majesty, this time, King Dou Sun has made great contributions, and his son has also made meritorious contributions to the country, I don't know what reward Your Majesty is going to make?" Seeing the fat little guy frolicking in the arms of Emperor Han Jing, Wang Huan's face was full of pampering and pity for the little Liu Che.

"Such a meritorious feat, naturally it is necessary to be a marquis, Dou Wang Sun has the talent of Wang Zuo, if I can change that temper a little, I will naturally be of great use." Emperor Han Jing teased the little Liu Che with a smile and replied with a smile.

Hearing the answer of the Son of Heaven and thinking of the answer between the mother and daughter, Wang Huan's smile couldn't help but increase a little more. That girl has such a vision, it seems that she is more mother-in-law than herself...... --------------------
