Chapter 206: The Death of Dou Ying
The matter of the Eastern Court Debate began in a hurry, and the ministers were all there, Dou Ying said: "The husband lost his mind because of drunkenness at the prime minister's wedding banquet, which caused today's consequences, which is really undeserved, but the crime is not death, for the sake of the face of the husband and the husband and the father of the husband, Guan Meng, who have contributed to the country, I hope to leave the husband alive."

Tian Wei immediately counterattacked: "The bushman disturbed and cursed the guests at the wedding banquet of the minister, the matter is really not big, the minister can forgive, but the minister's wedding banquet is given by the queen mother, doesn't the bushman put the queen mother in his eyes, the minister looks at the bushman is arrogant, and he committed today's great rebellion with all his eyes. Tian Wei seemed to have been prepared, and after speaking, he handed over a plate and said, "These are some crimes of the drubs who have been investigated by the ministers to run rampant in the countryside and violently collect money. ”
Dou Ying didn't see it well, and if he continued like this, he would definitely die, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is spewing blood, and he is putting all the ugly things of running amok in Chang'an, robbing the people's daughters, and violently collecting wealth and requisition land. ”
As soon as Tian Wei heard that the matter was on him, he was also anxious in an instant, so he hurriedly fought back: "Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate to live in this era of peace in the world, so he can be the emperor's henchman, nothing more than a hobby of singing, dogs and horses, and a field house, and what he likes is courtesans and entertainers. Skillful craftsmen, but Wei Qihou is not like this, recruiting heroes from all over the world, discussing in the mountains every day, full of dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and inviting masters to peep into the heavens or paint on the ground, to observe the situation in the east and west palaces, hoping to be in chaos in the world, so that they can make meritorious contributions, the minister really doesn't understand what Wei Qihou is thinking all day long?
Liu Che was also confused when he heard this, so he asked, "Tell me, which of them is right?"
The court instantly quieted down, and the imperial historian Han Anguo saw that no one spoke, so he took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Qihou said that the Irrigation Husband has been a warrior for generations, and has made great contributions to the country, and the Irrigation Husband's father even lost his life for the country, if the Irrigation Husband made a small mistake because of drunkenness, the crime will not lead to death, which is very correct." The prime minister said that the bushman is rampant in Yingchuan, arrogant and domineering, oppresses the good, and accumulates thousands of family wealth, which is like a branch bigger than the trunk of a tree, and the calf is thicker than the thigh, and this result will definitely lead to either breaking or splitting, and the prime minister is also right, who is right in the end, please ask Your Majesty to break it. ”
Okay, Han Anguo came to a second offense, and when the lord Duwei Jidian heard this, he continued: "The ministers don't approve of the words of the imperial doctor, it should be that what Wei Qihou said makes sense, and the ministers approve of Wei Qihou." This upright old minister has long been unaccustomed to Tian Wei, so he spoke in support of Dou Ying.
Liu Che then looked at Neishi Zheng Shi, Zheng lowered his head and shrank to the back, and then saw that the others were all silent and stopped speaking, Liu Che said: "Disperse, let's discuss it later." ”
"No. ”
"The inner history remains. Liu Che suddenly added.
The ministers rushed out, and stood in front of Liu Che with trembling internal history, Liu Che scolded bitterly: "Zheng Aiqing, you seem to have always approved of Wei Qihou's behavior on weekdays, isn't what Wei Qihou said wrong this time?"
"Back to Your Majesty, what Wei Qihou said makes sense, and the minister agrees with Wei Qihou. ”
"Then why not speak. You have talked about the strengths and weaknesses of Wei Qihou and Wu'an Hou many times on weekdays, and today you are debating in court, and you are like a colt driving under the wheel, if you do this, I will kill you people together. ”
"Your Majesty is right to teach you, right to teach you. ”
"Get out of here. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Neishi Zheng walked out of the Eastern Court in a gray manner at that time, and he didn't forget to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead when he went out, thinking that your imperial relatives are fighting in the house, and I am not a victim when I participate in it, so I will be scolded by the emperor.
Liu Che didn't know what to do with this court debate, so he sat in the middle of the hall and thought stupidly, when a messenger walked in and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites Your Majesty to serve and dine in the Yilan Palace." ”
"Uh, okay, I'll be right over. ”
Liu Che led Han Yan, Zhang Jiayang and others to the Yilan Palace, as soon as they entered the door, they saw the Queen Mother Wang Wan sitting in the middle of the hall, Liu Che shouted when he entered the door: "The Queen Mother is auspicious, I have something to delay, so the Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time." ”
"Why is the emperor delayed?" asked Wang Wan intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh, it's all a little chore, just sort it out. ”
"I'm afraid it's about Wu Anhou and Wei Qihou arguing about the irrigation, insulting the edict and committing the crime of great disrespect, is this an obvious thing, Wei Qihou bullied people too much to practice Wu'an Hou in public, now my useless sister is still alive, my younger brother is bullied like this, if I die, they will tear off Wu'an Hou like a fish piece by piece, how can Your Majesty be like a stone without a claim, now the emperor is still there, those ministers are still echoing, if Your Majesty is gone, can there still be someone who can be trusted. ”
"The Queen Mother is too worried, Marquis Wu Anhou and Marquis Wei Qihou are the same relatives, if it were someone else, I would send a jailer to settle this matter, and what kind of argument would be used, I would handle this matter. After Liu Che finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and began to feed Wang Huan.
After Liu Che appeased the Empress Dowager Wang Huan, he ordered Han Yan to say: "You instruct Yu Shiqian to go to Yingchuan as soon as possible to check the situation in the husband's hometown, so that you can tell who is right and who is wrong." ”
"No. ”
A month later, Yushi returned from Yingchuan and reported the results of the investigation to Liu Chedao: "The Guan family has more than 10,000 yuan in Yingchuan, and has been rampant in the township for many years, and the neighbors have been bullied for a long time, which is really miserable. ”
"I really can't believe that I dare to deceive me like this, come, put Wei Qihou in prison and wait for trial. ”
"No. ”
The worst result expected by Wei Qihou Dou Ying appeared, and he sighed for a long time in the dark cell, Tian Wei was very excited when he heard about it, and led his entourage to the prison, looking at Wei Qihou's miserable situation, he couldn't help but sneer: "Wei Qihou, now I know how powerful this prime minister is, I can let you in, don't go out again in this life, hahaha." ”
"Tian Wei, you can't be like this, I know why you want to treat the husband with death, just because he knows that you and King Huainan and others have discussed the matter of rebelling against the imperial court, but he has not reported you until now. ”
When Tian Wei heard Wei Qihou's words, he shuddered and said, "Dou Ying, don't struggle when the fish is dying, see how big the waves you can make, please take care." ”
After Tian Wei left, Dou Ying's eyes were dull in the prison, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said, "There is, there is," turned around and shouted out, "Come on, come on." ”
The jailer casually walked over and asked, "Master Hou, what do you need?"
"Please find a way to inform my son to come and see me, and he will thank you when he arrives. ”
"Oh, you marquis have a lot of trouble, wait, after I arrive at your house, does your son know who I am, as long as your son is filial, he will definitely come to see you." ”
"Sir, please. ”
Dou Ying was answered by the footsteps of the jailer, Dou Ying squatted on the ground in pain, and just when there was no hope in sight, the jailer came back and shouted vigorously outside the prison: "Wei Qihou, you are lucky, your son has come to see you." ”
At this time, a person walked in from outside the door, Dou Ying saw that it was not his son, the person who came in was Zhang Jiayang, Dou Ying hurriedly bowed his head in the prison and said gratefully: "It turned out to be a waiter." ”
"Exactly, if you don't pretend to be your son, the jailer is not easy to deal with, and he can't get in. ”
"The waiter came just in time, bring me a letter to the house, and ask them to find a copy of the emperor's edict in the cabinet, which can save my life. ”
"Okay, I'm just entrusted by Hou Ye's nephew to see if there is a way to save Hou Ye out, now that there is an edict, things are much easier, I'll go over and find out immediately." ”
"Just present the edict to the emperor. ”
"Okay, then Jiayang will leave and go to this matter as soon as possible. ”
"Thank you. ”
Zhang Jiayang came to Dou Mansion in a hurry, told about the edict, the family did not bother to find out the sealed edict of the first emperor, Zhang Jiayang let Wei Qihou's nephew take it to Weiyang Palace, Liu Che heard the edict and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly order the prime minister, confirm the archive of the edict, if this is indeed given by the first emperor, I will follow the will of the first emperor and exempt Dou Ying from punishment." ”
"No. The will was conveyed to Tian Wei, and after Tian Wei heard about it, he was very afraid that Wei Qihou would be released from prison, so he turned out the archive edict and privately burned the edict left for Dou Ying.
Then Tian Wei reported back to Liu Che: "The edict has not been found and archived, this edict is forged by Wei Qihou, and it should be beheaded for public punishment." ”
Liu Che saw that Tian Wei was talking endlessly, so he slapped the table and said: "Bold Dou Ying, dare to forge the edict, if there is anything you dare not do in the future, come, immediately behead Dou Ying to show the public, in order to set an example." ”
"No. ”
Dou Ying, who was waiting for his acquittal in prison, ushered in the executioner, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Heaven destroys Dou Ying, Tian Wei, I will watch you in the spirit of heaven." ”
In this way, Dou Ying was dragged by the executioner to carry out the execution, and Dou Ying was exterminated before his death.
