Dou Ying swaggered out of Changle Palace, the unhappy family banquet just now didn't seem to affect his mood at all, but the Empress Dowager Dou in Changle Palace was angry in her heart, and she didn't lose her anger after a night's rest, and then said to the maid next to him: "You go and tell the emperor, let the emperor come to me when he is free."

"No. ”

In the Weiyang Palace, Dou Ying was talking to the emperor Liu Qi, and Liu Qi said: "Thank you Dou Aiqing for helping me at the family banquet yesterday, otherwise it would really be a big mistake." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to thank the ministers, it is the responsibility of the ministers to be responsible for the stability of the country. ”

"Okay, Dou Ying, I appreciate your character, but you saved the crisis of Sheji's succession, but it may be a little troublesome for your aunt to be the Queen Mother. ”

"For the sake of Sheji, Dou Ying's head can be broken, and I am not afraid that the Queen Mother will show me a face. ”

"Hehehe, okay. ”

A messenger who hurriedly ran in from outside the door reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has sent a maid to deliver the message, saying that she will let Her Majesty go to the Queen Mother when he is free." ”

"Okay, tell the maid, and I'll tell you that I know, and I'll go later. ”

"No. ”

Liu Qi heard the Empress Dowager's will, turned to Dou Ying and said, "You wait here, I will go to the Empress Dowager's place, maybe I will mention yesterday's incident, so that I don't announce you again." ”

"No, Dou Ying understands. ”

Liu Qi hurriedly walked to Changle Palace, and saw that his mother, the Empress Dowager Dou's face was much better, and hurriedly asked for An: "Mother, the Empress Dowager, what are the instructions for calling the sons and daughters to come over?" ”

Empress Dowager Dou opened her hazy eyes, although she now has a little vision in one eye, but in the eyes of outsiders, her eyes are still like electricity, and she said expressionlessly: "I said the emperor, what is wrong with letting your own brother succeed to the throne, we are all a family, can the throne come in turn, whether it is about martial arts or literary talent, Wu'er has the ability to be the emperor." ”

"Mother Queen Mother, Gaozu has a custom, since the rules have been established, we should abide by it as younger generations. ”

"Are the rules set by people, can they be changed if they are set by people? ”

"Mother and Queen Mother must not, changing the rules will move the law of the ancestors, and it is easy to cause social ****. ”

"What a mess, Your Majesty is my son, Wu'er is also my son, I think the one in the world dares to mess up. ”

"Mother Queen Mother doesn't know, of course people outside the clan surnamed Liu don't dare to say anything, but they will instigate people in the clan surnamed Liu to commit adultery. ”

"I don't want to listen to it, I don't want to listen to your reasoning, how did Your Majesty become the same argument as my indisputable nephew Dou Ying overnight. Empress Dowager Dou suddenly trembled with her hands and feet and said fiercely, "Yes, it is Dou Ying, a guy who doesn't know the severity, he will not be from our Dou family in the future, Your Majesty listens, and immediately delete his clan registration from Zongzheng, and he can't take a step into Changle Palace in the future, I no longer recognize this nephew, you are simply angry with my old woman." ”

"Mother, the queen mother, is angry, and the sons will go back to handle it, please stop the anger, and the sons will retire. Liu Qi took this opportunity to quickly withdraw from Changle Palace.

The Empress Dowager Dou was still standing there, angrily supported by the two maids, unable to calm down for a long time, thinking that I want to make the dream of the emperor of the two sons become a reality, and whoever stops me will let him disappear.

Liu Qi hurriedly returned to Weiyang Palace, Dou Ying was still waiting in the palace, and when he saw Liu Qi coming over with a gloomy face, he asked very carefully: "Your Majesty, is the Queen Mother okay?"

"Hehehe, the Queen Mother is fine. Liu Qi sneered and said, "The Queen Mother threw everything to me." ”

"Please take care of your majesty's dragon body, and you must focus on the community. ”

"Hehehe, Dou Aiqing, now it seems that you have to sacrifice for the sake of Sheji. ”

"Oh, isn't the Queen Mother willing to let go of Weichen. ”

"You will be eliminated from the clan immediately, and you will not be able to enter and leave Changle Palace in the future. ”

Wechen understood. Dou Ying thought for a while and then said, "Please ask the emperor to also remove the minister from the post of Zhan Shi, firstly, Your Majesty can better explain to the Empress Dowager, and secondly, the position of Zhan Shi is indeed not suitable for Weichen." ”

"Oh, does Dou Aiqing still dislike Zhan Shi's official position too low?"

"This is what I said, Weichen doesn't dare. ”

"Hehehe, well, in that case, I'm ready. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Dou Ying will retire. ”

Liu Qi covered his face and waved his hand to Dou Ying, his mind was blank, he didn't know what difficulties were waiting to be solved in the future, Dou Ying's position became a commoner overnight, and he returned to the house to thank the guests, read and practice calligraphy all day long, pampered and pampered, and felt at ease without an official for a while.

Liu Qi is still struggling in the whirlpool of family and state affairs, one day Liu Qi is sitting in Weiyang Palace to recuperate, and the messenger comes to report: "Report to Your Majesty, the imperial historian is wrong to ask to see." ”

"Oh, the teacher is here, please come soon. ”

Chao Cuo walked into Weiyang Palace under the leadership of the confessor, and after saluting, he said, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. ”

Liu Qi was immediately shocked and said, "Teacher, what happened again." ”

"Has the envoy sent to Wu recently returned?"

"Already came back yesterday. ”

"What the envoy said. ”

The envoy reported back to me that Prime Minister Yuan Ang confidently told him that King Wu was loyal to the court and would not rebel. ”

"Your Majesty, you and the envoy have been fooled, Wu Prime Minister Yuan Ang accepted the bribe of King Wu, of course he will say good things for King Wu, the old minister thinks that people like Yuan Ang can be killed but not kept. ”

"The teacher can't be trusted, but he has to talk about the evidence. ”

"The old minister didn't dare to talk nonsense, he had definite evidence in hand. Chao Cuo hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed.

Liu Qi paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps and said, "Master, I will send you to assist the court commander Zhang Ou to go to Wu to investigate Yuan An's bribery, and you must have a definite confession. ”

"No, the old minister will go and discuss this matter with Zhang Ou. Chao Cuo said and walked out of Weiyang Palace, and eagerly walked towards the Tingwei Yamen.

Zhang Ou He Xu is also a person who is now serving as a court lieutenant, a meritorious man in the Gaozu period Anqiu Houshu (concubine), a loyal person, in the face of the unjust prison reported, often seriously tried and reviewed, and those who can be rehabilitated will be rehabilitated, and those who can not be rehabilitated will personally go to the prison to face the prisoner and listen carefully to the prisoner's confession, so as to grasp the first-hand evidence, find that the case trial flaws are corrected immediately, and finally set the punishment, cry in front of the prisoner and ask the prisoner to take his crime seriously, is such a loyal and honest man, and he is also deeply disgusted by Chao Cuo's actions around the emperor, and he always can't understand why Chao Cuo is always looking for the stubble of the princes and kings, what good is it for him to let the royal family surnamed Liu fight.

A small official from the Tingwei Yamen hurriedly ran in and reported: "Report to Tingwei, the Imperial Doctor is here." ”

"Okay, please come in. Zhang Ou thought in surprise, just now he was still figuring out the wrong psychology in his heart, and he didn't understand it yet, so he came.

"Hehehe, Zhang Tingwei is very busy here. ”

"I don't know if the imperial doctor has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, please forgive me. "Zhang Ou wants to do the work of face.

"The holy decree arrived, and the court lieutenant Zhang Ou received the decree. Chao Cuo suddenly shouted.

Zhang Ou hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The minister receives the order." ”

“...... When I learned that Yuan An, the prime minister of Wu, had accepted bribes from King Wu, violated the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty, and lost the prestige of the Han Dynasty, I specially sent the Imperial Doctor Chao to assist Tingwei in investigating the case......"

"Obey. ”

Zhang Ou took the holy decree and said: "Zhang Tingwei, when will we leave, this matter is easy to slow down, slow will change, the old man will listen to your dispatch closely." ”

"Don't worry, Doctor Chao, we'll leave this afternoon. ”

"Okay, Zhang Tingwei's efficiency is still reassuring to the old man. ”

Zhang Ou and Chao Cuo led the Qincha guards directly into Guangling, the capital of Wu State, and came to the mansion of Prime Minister Wu regardless of the 3721 surrounding, Yuan Ang was resting in the mansion, and the guards at the door hurriedly ran in and reported: "Prime Minister, the big thing is not good, our mansion is surrounded by the Qincha guards from Chang'an." ”

Yuan Ang said as if he was fine: "What a panic, the sky can't fall." ”

"Prime Minister Yuan's psychological quality is still very good, come with us. Chao Cuo was the first to walk in and said.

"Oh, who should I be, it turned out to be Dr. Chao, I don't know what happened to the mansion that surrounded me this time?"

"Hahaha, you are still so ignorant when the catastrophe comes, if you have anything to say, go to the Tingwei Yamen. Chao Cuo turned around and glanced at Zhang Ou.

"Come on, good students entertain Prime Minister Yuan," Zhang Ou looked at Yuan Ang and continued, "Prime Minister Yuan Cheng will come with us to the Tingwei Yamen to clarify some things." ”

Four boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were found from Yuan An's Prime Minister's Mansion, and then with these found jewels, the brigade of people and horses withdrew to Chang'an.

Zhang Ou and Chao Cuo personally interrogated Yuan An, and asked him about the source of those gold and silver jewelry, Yuan Ang admitted one by one that the gold and silver jewelry was a gift from King Wu, but King Wu did not turn it on the fact that he had seen it since he came to Wu to serve as prime minister, and then asked Yuan Ang to confess to the painting, Chao Cuo was excited to see Yuan An's confession, so he hurriedly reported to the emperor Liu Qi.

Liu Qi saw Yuan An's confession, and said very angrily: "Hey, I and the emperor's most trusted courtiers have also become like this, I am really speechless, so in the opinion of Doctor Chao, what crime should Yuan Ang be sentenced to?"

"Your Majesty, such deceitful and bribe-takers should be beheaded. ”

Liu Qi thought for a long time and said: "Yuan Ang is an old minister of the two dynasties, and he is very appreciated by the first emperor, I can't let his life be lost in my hands, let's let him quit and go home." ”

"This-" Chao Cuo wanted to say that the emperor couldn't, but seeing Liu Qi's face, he reluctantly continued, "No, the old minister obeys the order." ”

Chao Cuo thought to himself that such a good opportunity to treat Yuan Ang to death was missed like this, it was really heaven and earth.

Yuan Ang became a commoner overnight, returned to his hometown Anling, traveled around and played, liked to make friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, drank happily all day long, and felt the pleasure of the rivers and lakes in life.

The next morning, the imperial envoy Chao Chao said: "Your Majesty, the policy of cutting feudal domains should be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise the best opportunity will be lost." ”

"The matter will be discussed later. Emperor Liu Qi said.

After retiring from the dynasty, Liu Qi took Chao Cuo to the apse, looked at Chao Cuo and said: "Teacher, if you execute the feudal domain now, I am afraid that it will cause the kings to rebel, and it will be difficult for the court to clean it up at that time." ”

Chao Cuo said sternly: "Today is a good time to cut the domain, if it is held for a long time, the tail will not fall, and the court will not be able to clean it up when it wants to, and about the matter of worrying about the rebellion of the kings, the old minister believes that the early reduction of the domain is early and the early reversal, not the reduction of the feudal domain is late and the late reversal, and the late reversal is better than the early reversal, and the early reversal of the princes' kingdom is due to the lack of strength, in order to create conditions for the imperial court to win the peaceful judgment." ”

Emperor Liu Qi heard his teacher's lofty remarks, and immediately fell into deep contemplation.
