After several days of competition, the candidate for the rebellion was finally decided. It is Liu Yuan's cousin and the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dou - Dou Yan, the former general of the West.

The Dou family, who has produced two queens in this dynasty, has been prominent.

However, the Empress Dowager Xiaomin died early, and during the serious illness of Emperor Wen, the Empress Dowager Dou had thought about the establishment of the prince, wanting to abolish Liu Yuan and set up her youngest son King Kang to inherit the unification. Because of this, there is a gap between grandparents and grandchildren.

After Liu Yuan succeeded to the throne, he reused the Fang Rong family, who had made great contributions in this battle for easy storage, and said to his uncle Rong Yi to the point of obedience.

With Rong Yi's assistance and planning, the weak little emperor gradually gained a firm foothold, had his own supporters and forces, and was not merciless in cutting off King Kang's party.

The first of them is naturally King Kang himself. Despite the protection of the Dou family, Liu Teng, the king of Kang, has not been degraded again and again, the fief from a state to a county, and finally as for a county, he still retains the title and changes the title to King Kangxuan, becoming the smallest fief in history and the most incomparable prince with the surname of the clan.

What Liu Yuan wants to announce through the title of "Kang Xuan" is self-evident.

As the backbone of the Dou clan that was used to contain and manipulate the little emperor, the Dou clan was naturally not spared. Perhaps it was because of Gu Nian's dead mother, Empress Dowager Xiaomin, Liu Yuan did not kill his grandfather's family.

Dou Yan, the general of Dingxi, once made great contributions in the battle against the Northwest Liang, and was quite popular in both the court and the opposition. After Liu Yuan seized his military power, in order to calm the public, he repeatedly rewarded Dou Yan Jinjue, in addition to real power, it can be said that he asked for money to give money, and he wanted to be famous, but Dou Yan didn't want it, and Liu Yuan also had a way to stuff it to him.

The Empress Dowager Huiyi had five brothers, but Liu Yuan skipped a few uncles, and the royal pen gave Dou Yan the title of "the first uncle of the dynasty". No matter how angry the real Dou Guo uncles are in their hearts, they can't rush at the emperor.

Such a false reward only maintained the illusion of the Dou family and Liu Yuan's ancestor and grandson's filial piety in terms of face, but slowly kicked the Dou family away from the center of power.

Even within the Dou family, there is constant contention due to Liu Yuan's deliberate uneven kindness.

The appointment of Dou Yan as the Qin Messenger was a proposal from the eunuch Yan Si to Liu Yuan, saying that Wang Wu was directly from the Langya Wang clan and had military merits, so it was inevitable that he would be rebellious, and he had to have a noble identity and prestige in the army to suppress him.

Qin Cha is not qualified enough, and he is not enough to convince the public, and he is suspected of stealing merit; Second, if the handover of the business trip pool is made, it will damage the prestige of the great sky and the arrogance of the border army.

A word came to Liu Yuan's heart.

However, as Yan Si said, there are very few people who have prestige in the army, noble status, outstanding ability, and are willing to offend Fang Rong for Liu Yuan.

At this time, the old lady of the Dou family wore a life dress and entered the palace to ask the Dou family for peace.

When competing with the Dou family, Liu Yuan favored Fang Rong, and the people of the Dou family hated it. But now that he is going to turn his head to deal with Fang Rong, he can use the Dou family of Keyou to become amiable in his eyes.

Thinking of Dou Yan's advanced age, Liu Yuan specially mentioned in the holy decree that Dou Yan should bring his nephew Dou Cunqiao with him, with the intention of promoting the younger generation of the Dou family.

That Dou Cunqiao is a rare son of the Dou family who is close to Liu Yuan, loyal and upright, diligent in errands, initially just a patrol officer in Beijing, and then recommended by the officials, repeatedly promoted, compiled into the forbidden army, young to eat five pins, the future is very promising.

Things have evolved to this point, and it is no longer as simple as arresting a rebellious wife, but it has completely become a struggle for power, and a chess game for the Son of Heaven to balance the forces of all parties.

Jingzhong was in an uproar.

All kinds of rumors are rampant, and the Fang Rong family, who are on the cusp of the storm, are still calm.

According to the observation of well-intentioned people, the daily procurement of rice, oil, meat and vegetables of the two families is still the same, and it does not necessarily mean that the old phase and the grandfather of the country have shortened their appetite. Even on the second day of the incident, Wulang Fangmian also took his wife on a trip and went back to enjoy the night view of Qinhuai together.

Rong Yixiang is used to being calm.

Because he was calm, the children of the two families were increasingly pampered. At any time, there is an inexplicable confidence - as if as long as Rong Yi is there, there is no ditch that cannot be crossed.

Rong Yi just lightly made a move.

Rong Kun's drunken wild words, speculation in Beijing, was just a fuse, arousing Liu Yuan's determination to further suppress Fang Rong.

What really made this fire flourish was the Dou family in the deep palace, and Mu Cangping, the king of the rivers and lakes who seemed to care nothing about the government.

Rong Yi knew that Mu Cangping would definitely try his best to prevent Qu Yu'er from entering Beijing. It's just that what Mu Cangping will do, he can't guess for the time being.

***

Chang Qianfo and his entourage set off from Yuzhou and went to Jiankang, and the team grew stronger and stronger.

First, Chang Dingyao stuck up. This old lady, who is obsessed with pharmacological research, looks at Mu Dianke's eyes like looking at a sparkling golden baby, circling around Mu Dianke all day long, asking about his pulse and daily life, and he can't get rid of it.

Later, Mei Longxue and Bitter Cauliflower caught up, saying that they were kicked out by Jin Yanchen, and they would follow Mu Dianke with all their hearts and be her little followers in the future.

When passing through Chuzhou, I met Mo Cangcang, who was returning to Beijing, and happened to be with him.

Chang Huaijin had already sent a letter to Chang Jili, so everyone in Huairen Hall also knew what had happened to Chang Qianfo all along.

Everyone rested in the tea house, and Mo Cangcang pulled Chang Qianfo aside and bit his ear, "Do you know, for your business, several masters are intensively planning, to wait for the plague to pass, and go to Luoyang together to die." ”

Chang Qianfo frowned, Mo Cangcang knew that he had misunderstood, and said in a practicing voice: "Wrong, wrong, not for you, but to persuade the old man." ”

Chang Qianfo was even more stunned.

The feud between several masters and Mu Dianke is obviously not fierce to the point that they have to be admonished by the Luoyang group, but if there is any deep affection between them and Mu Dianke, it is worth making a fuss for her, and there is no such possibility.

Is there something going on in his absence?

"Speaking of this, you have to thank the second master." Mo Cangcang was happy when he mentioned this: "The second master received the letter from his eldest aunt, and on the same day, he poured himself into a drunken body, and told people everywhere, you are crazy anyway, looking at this situation, Chang Jiabao will either marry one or one less." Both grandparents and grandchildren are bulls, and for the sake of Changjiabao's incense, he has to consider asking for a daughter-in-law to see if he can give birth to a son and a half daughter - haha! ”

Mo Cangcang really couldn't hold back, and laughed wildly: "The second master is so disheartened that he is going to give birth, hahahaha-you said that the old men are all scared to death - the second master is still very thief, and he refuses to take out the letter." Everyone guessed, the more you guessed, the more scary it became, the more scary it became, and I almost didn't think you were dead, haha-"

Chang Qianfo opened his mouth, stunned because he didn't know what to say.

Although Chang Jili's trick is Lai, it really works.

Seeing Ling Fu looking at himself suspiciously, Mo Cangcang leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Second Master asked me to give you a message, for the sake of him working so hard to help you, can you write off the previous things?" ”

How can it be so easy!

Immediately, Chang Qianfo sneered.

Mo Cangcang was very puzzled: "Brother, you are smiling like this, I am very panicked." Didn't you just listen to the old man's words and smash your daughter-in-law with silver? Haven't they all stood the test, and still hold grudges? ”

"What did the second uncle tell you that he wants to write off this matter with me?" Chang Qianfo asked.

"I didn't say it." How quickly did Mo Cangcang react: "You are not the only one who has been pitted?" ”

Mo Cangcang was excited, and patted Chang Qianfo on the shoulder: "Come on, let's listen, buddy last time I saw you with a bitter and hateful face, or that kick almost inhumane for you - the second master has to do something that lacks morality?" ”

The voice was drunk, and the meat and vegetables couldn't help jumping out, and the entire tea house raised their heads.

Ling Fu smiled helplessly, and shook his head at Liangqing.

The "second master" father Chang Dingyao didn't care at all, and still worked hard to coax Mu Dianke to be happy, and the people of his age poured tea for the juniors by himself.

I don't know if it's psychological, Mo Cangcang looked at his sister-in-law's smoky eyes, and inexplicably, he felt a little cold.
