Chapter 11 The Emerging Family End
Zhang Jiashi knew that if Liang Ji was a pinnacle of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Tian Lai novel.2 Then after Liang Ji, another Eastern Han Dynasty minister, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and Dou Wu, the general of the middle period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, has a taste that is not worthy of the name.
Dou Wu is a representative of the Fufeng Dou family, which is said to have originated in history from Dou Shaojun, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dou in the Western Han Dynasty.
Dou Rong, the seventh grandson of Dou Shaojun, Marquis of Zhangwu, was an official from his hometown Changshan County to Pingling in Fufeng County when his great-grandfather was Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and gradually became a big family of Fufeng County. The Fufeng Dou clan followed Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty and started with military exploits, and a large number of prominent nobles such as Dou Rong and Dou Xian appeared, and became a family of relatives that had been followed for a hundred years. After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Fufeng Dou clan still had considerable military merits, so it still played an important role in the political arena and military activities.
The Fufeng Dou family can be said to be the most influential of foreign relatives in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were extremely active on the stage of Chinese history. After most of them were heroes, they were the "family of concubines" that the emperor relied on, and they were very powerful.
It is precisely because of this that some people are prepared for danger in times of peace, and some people are flying and domineering, and they have staged vivid tragicomedy scenes in Luoyang City.
Dou Rong can be said to be the founder of the Fufeng Dou family, but it was the famous Eastern Han Dynasty general Dou Xian who raised the power of the Fufeng Dou family.
Dou Xian, the word Bodu, a native of Fufeng Pingling, the great-grandson of Dou Rong, a relative of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a powerful minister, and a famous general.
In the first two years of its establishment, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty established Dou Xian's sister as the queen. Dou Xian and Dou Du brothers are lucky, "the rewards are accumulated, the favor is flourishing, and the king, the lord, the yin, and the horse families are not afraid." In the first year of Yongyuan, Dou Xian sent assassins to assassinate Liu Chang, the Empress Dowager's fortunate minister, and blamed Cai Lun, who was later convicted of the incident and imprisoned in the palace. Dou Xian was frightened and asked to attack the Northern Xiongnu to redeem his death.
When the Southern Xiongnu invited troops to the Northern Expedition, he worshiped Dou Xian as the general of the chariot cavalry, and Geng Bing, who held Jinwu, as his deputy, each led 4,000 cavalry, and more than 30,000 soldiers of the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Qiang Hu went out to fight. Dou Xian sent more than 10,000 elite horsemen to break the Northern Xiongnu Yu Jiluo Mountain, and Beidan Yu fled. Dou Xian and Geng Bing pursued by victory, went deep into the Hanhai Desert for 3,000 miles, went out of Jilusai, Nandan Yu walked out of the Manyi Valley, and the Liao general Deng Hong went out of Chouyangsai, and the three armies met in Zhuo Evil Mountain, defeated the Northern Xiongnu in Jiluo Mountain, and reached Daihai in the north of the canal, killing more than 13,000 people and capturing countless people. Later, he climbed Yanran Mountain. In Yanran Mountain, the stone is carved to remember the merit, and the history is called Yanran Le Stone. The imperial court worshiped Xian as a general, and he was a high third duke. The great victory of Yanran Mountain made Dou Xian firm in his determination to eliminate the Northern Xiongnu.
In the third year of Yongyuan, Dou Xian sent troops to attack again, out of the fortress for 5,000 miles to attack Jinwei Mountain, broke the main force of the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu, beheaded more than 5,000 people below the king, captured Beidan Yu Empress Dowager, and Beidan fled in a hurry and did not know what to do.
And this time the Xiongnu Beidan fled, which is likely to be one of the origins of the Huns.
Dou Xian broke the Xiongnu, shook the imperial court, and then plotted to usurp the Han. Emperor Han He knew of his conspiracy and planned to eradicate Dou Xian with Zheng Zhong, a regular servant. In the fourth year of Yongyuan, Emperor He ordered the arrest of his henchmen, confiscated the seal of the general, changed the title to the champion marquis, and later put Dou Xian to death.
And Dou Xian's power mainly comes from Emperor Zhang of Han's favor to his sister, that is, Empress Zhangde Dou.
And I have to mention that the queens of the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, if you count the Dou family, the queen of Xiaowen, then the Qinghe-Fufeng Dou family can be said to have three queens.
......
What is more interesting is that during the period of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty canonized Dou Miao as the empress after eradicating the Liang family.
And Dou Wu is Dou Miao's father.
Dou Wuzi Youping, the great-great-grandson of Dou Rong, a famous minister in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his father Dou Feng, once served as Dingxiang Taishou. When Dou Wu was young, he was famous for his good practice of scriptures and virtues, and he once taught his protégés in Dazezhong, not talking about current affairs, and his reputation was significant in the Kansai area.
In the eighth year of Yanxi, Dou Miao, the eldest daughter of Dou Wu, was elected as a nobleman in the palace, with Dou Wu as the langzhong. In the same year, in the winter, Emperor Huan established Dou Miao as the queen, and Dou Wu was promoted to the captain of the Yue Cavalry, and he was named the Marquis of Huaili, and he had 5,000 households.
Yanxi for nine years, worship the captain of the city gate. During his tenure, he recruited celebrities, was honest and honest, did not accept gifts and bribes, and his wife's food and clothing were only enough for food and clothing. At that time, Xiqiang used troops for many years, the grain harvest failed, the people were hungry, and all the rewards received by Dou Wujun were given to the Tai students, and they used trucks of food and meals to give to the poor on the roads.
Dou Wu's nephew Dou Shao, who is a general in the middle of the tiger, has a lazy and extravagant temperament. Dou Wu often admonished him very harshly, but Dou Shao was not yet conscious, so Dou Wu wrote to ask him to be removed, and blamed himself for not being able to discipline Dou Shao well, and he should be punished first. Since then, Dou Shao has abided by moderation, no matter how big or small things are, and he dare not do anything illegal.
In the first year of Yongkang, when the eunuchs were in power, celebrities Li Ying, Du Mi and others were arrested and interrogated for party affairs. Dou Wu wrote a letter of advice to avenge the grievances of Li, Du and other party members, believing that these people were loyal and upright, determined to maintain the royal family, and were reliable talents of the country and good assistants of the imperial court. It was believed that the eunuchs should be deposed, punished according to their crimes, deprived of their titles, and appointed to be loyal and good, and to distinguish between good and bad. After the performance, Dou Wu said that he was sick and returned to the seal of the captain of the city gate and the marquis of Huaili, but Emperor Huan did not allow it. He also ordered the pardon of Li Ying and Du Mi, and the release of the lesser party members.
At this time, the people who pursue high wind and bright festivals at home and abroad flaunt each other and set a mark for the world's celebrities. Dou Wu, Liu Shu and Chen Fan are collectively known as the "Three Gentlemen".
In the winter of the same year, Emperor Huan of Han died. Because Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty had no children, at the suggestion of Liu Yu, Dou Wu and Dou Miao planned to set up the twelve-year-old Marquis Liu Hong of the Jiedu Pavilion as the emperor, that is, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
In the first year of Jianning, Dou Wu was appointed as a general because of his merits, and he was named the Marquis of Wenxi. and recorded Shangshu with Taifu Chen Fan and Situ Huguang. His son Dou Ji, the Marquis of Weiyang, served as the servant; his nephew Dou Shao was the Marquis of the Eunuch, moved to the infantry captain, and was in charge of one of the five armies in Beiying; Dou Shao's younger brother Dou Jing was named the Marquis of Xixiang, and was the servant and supervised the left cavalry of Yulin. The Dou clan is in power.
Dou Wu since the auxiliary government, there is often a sense of getting rid of the eunuchs, Chen Fan also has this heart, they are in the court meeting, Chen Fan quietly said to Dou Wu: "In the first emperor to manipulate the authority of the state, the world into a miasma, the people are disturbed, and they are the culprit." If you don't kill Cao Jie and others now, it will be difficult to do it in the future. Dou Wu agreed with his idea very much, Chen Fan was overjoyed, and pushed away the seat with his hand and got up.
Dou Wu then recruited his confidant Yin Xun as Shang Shuling, Liu Yu as a servant, and Feng Shu as a lieutenant of the Tun Cavalry; and recruited the deposed celebrities Li Ying, Liu Meng, and the servants Du Mi and Zhu Yu to gather at the imperial court, and invited Yue Taishou Xun Yi to be the Zhonglang, and Yingchuan Chen Yu to be Peng's subordinates, and jointly agreed on a strategy. There is no one in the world who is not excited when he hears the wind.
In the solar eclipse in May of the same year, Dou Wu took this as an excuse to ask the Empress Dowager Dou to get rid of the eunuchs, and to kill the Zhongchang servant Guan Ba and Su Kang first, and also to kill Cao Jie and others.
In August, Liu Yu wrote a letter to persuade Dou Wu and Chen Fan to act immediately to prevent unexpected changes. Dou Wu immediately began to prepare, dismissed Wei Biao, the commander of the Yellow Gate, replaced him with his own Xiaohuangmen Shan Bing, and imprisoned the cunning Changle Shangshu Zheng Sa in the Beisi Prison. Chen Fan suggested that Zheng Sa be killed immediately, but Dou Wu disagreed, and ordered Shan Bing and others to interrogate him, confess to Lian and Cao Jie, Wang Fu and other eunuchs, and Dou Wu planned to arrest them together.
That night, when Dou Wu returned to stay at the mansion, the eunuch Zhu Yu learned the news, peeked at his recital, and scolded: "Of course, the eunuch can kill if he indulges in illegality." What are the sins of our people, and why should we all be destroyed together?"
Therefore, he shouted: "Chen Fan and Dou Wuzuo ask the Empress Dowager to abolish the emperor, this is a great rebellion!" In the evening, he immediately summoned his cronies, strong and powerful Changle Congguan, Shi Gongpu, Zhang Liang and other seventeen people.
When Cao Jie heard about it, he panicked, so he hijacked Emperor Ling, closed the palace gate, coerced Shangshu's official subordinates to write an edict, appointed Wang Fu as the Huangmen Order, and went to Beisi Prison to arrest Yin Xun, Shan Bing and others. Shan Bing was suspicious and did not accept it, so Wang Fu killed Shan Bing and Yin Xun, and released Zheng Sa. then kidnapped the Empress Dowager Dou and took away the seal book. and made Zheng Sa and others arrest Dou Wu and others. Dou Wu did not obey the edict, galloped into the infantry battalion, shot the messenger, and summoned thousands of people of the northern army to camp under the capital pavilion, and ordered the sergeant: "The eunuchs of the Yellow Gate rebel, and the marquis who tried his best to kill will be rewarded." ”
Wang Fu ordered the Shaofu Zhou Jing to ride the general, and on the fake festival, Zhang Huan, the general of the Huns, had just led the army back to the division, and he was used by Wang Fu to order him and Zhou Jing to lead five battalions of soldiers to defeat Dou Wu. In the middle of the night, Wang Fu led more than 1,000 people, including Huben, Yulin, Ma Shu, Duhou, and Jian Zhuoge, to go out of the Zhuque Gate and join Zhang Huan and other troops. The next morning, the two armies faced each other.
Wang Fu's sergeants gradually increased, and shouted to Dou Wu's army: "Dou Wu, you are all forbidden soldiers, you should defend the palace province, why follow the rebels? Those who surrender first will be rewarded!" The battalion soldiers have always been afraid of the eunuchs, and by noon, Dou Wu's soldiers were almost scattered. In the end, Dou Wu was besieged, committed suicide, and was imprisoned in Luoyang Duting.
His clansmen, guests, and in-laws were killed. The family was exiled to the distant county of Ninan. Empress Dowager Dou was also placed under house arrest in Yuntai.
Hu Teng, who was once a subordinate of General Dou Wu's mansion, mourned for Dou Wu's funeral alone, so he was also imprisoned. Dou Wu's grandson, Dou Fu, survived with the help of Hu Teng and Ling Shi Zhangchang.
In the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at the beginning of his reign sent envoys to mourn and sacrifice Chen Fan, Dou Wu, etc. It's just that such a move may have been instructed by Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo wanted to win over the hearts of the party members at that time, so he asked the puppet Han Xian Emperor to send people to sacrifice Chen Fan and Dou Wu.
......
In a sense, Dou Wu is not a powerful minister, but a loyal minister with Dou Rong's bones.
But Dou Wu's death was most likely caused by Emperor Han Ling's jealousy of Dou Wu's power.
In a sense, Dou Wu can be said to be the category of the master of merit for Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, what is even more fatal is that Dou Wu's daughter, Empress Dowager Dou, is not the mother of Emperor Ling of Han.
And even so, Emperor Han Ling was not a mean and unkind person, he chose Dou Miao with an attitude of flattery and maintenance.
In the winter of the first year of Yongkang, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty was ill, so he promoted Tian Sheng and other nine women to be nobles. On December 28 of the same year, Emperor Huan of Han died of illness. On December 29, Dou Miao was honored as the empress dowager. Because Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty had no children, Dou Miao's father, Dou Wu, the captain of the city gate, summoned Liu Yi, a servant of the imperial history and a native of Hejian, and asked him about the princes and outstanding princes in the Hejian Kingdom, and Liu Yi recommended Liu Hong, the marquis of the Jiedu Pavilion. Dou Wu entered the palace to report to his daughter Empress Dowager Dou Miao, so Dou Miao sent Liu Zheng, the acting Guanglu doctor, to hold the Fu Jie, and led the left and right Yulin troops to the river to welcome Liu Hong to succeed to the throne.
On the third day of the first month of the first year of Jianning, Dou Miao appointed his father Dou Wu as a general. On the twentieth day of the first month, Liu Hong came to the Luoyang Xiamen Pavilion, and Dou Miao sent Dou Wu to hold the talisman festival and welcomed Liu Hong into the palace with Wang Qing's covered car. On the twenty-first day of the first month, Liu Hong became the emperor and was the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
Dou Miao has always been jealous and cruel, angry with Tian Sheng and others, and the coffin of Emperor Han Huan was still in the front hall, so he killed Tian Sheng. He also wanted to kill all the nobles of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, but Zhongchang Guan Ba and Su Kang tried hard to persuade him, so he didn't start.
In September of the first year of Jianning, Dou Wu conspired to kill the eunuchs, and was now falsely claimed that Emperor Han Ling and others falsely claimed that Emperor Han Ling issued an edict to kill Dou Wu, moved Dou Miao to Nangong Yuntai, and exiled Dou Miao's family members to Bijing. After losing power, although Dou Miao was still nominally the queen mother, she was actually under house arrest.
At the beginning of the second year, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty welcomed his biological mother Dong into the palace and called Empress Xiaoren of Yongle Palace.
In April of that year, a green dragon appeared on the throne. Dasi Nong Zhang Huan was deceived by Cao Jie to participate in the killing of Dou Wu before, and was deeply ashamed, and took the opportunity to soothe "Although the queen mother lives in the South Palace, and does not accept the gifts, the courtiers are silent, and they are disappointed from afar", but Emperor Ling was confused by the constant servant and could not use it. Langzhong Xie Bi also wrote a book pointing to the snake as a woman's auspiciousness, reiterating that the Empress Dowager Dou established the Ling Emperor and should not be burdened by the family, but now she is imprisoned in the empty palace, since the Ling Emperor takes Emperor Huan as his father, he should take the Queen Mother as his mother.
Xie Bi was squeezed out by the eunuchs left and right of Emperor Ling because of this, and after abandoning the official and returning to his hometown in Dongjun, he was hunted and killed by Cao Jie from Cao Shao, the Taishou of Zidong County.
Although Dou Wu was killed, Emperor Ling of Han still remembered the credit of the Empress Dowager Dou Miao for helping him to become emperor.
On the first day of October in the fourth year of Jianning, he led his ministers to Nangong to worship the Empress Dowager Dou Miao and personally dedicated her birthday celebrations. Huangmen Ling Dong Meng complained about the Empress Dowager Dou Miao many times, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty adopted them one by one, and the support was increased compared with before. Cao Jie and Wang Fu hated Dong Meng for supporting the Empress Dowager Dou Miao, so they framed him for slandering Emperor Ling's mother Dong, and Dong Meng died in prison for his crimes.
In June of the first year of Xiping, Dou Miao's mother died in Bijing, and Dou Miao became depressed and ill due to the death of her mother, and died of illness on the 10th day of the first month.
The eunuch still held a grudge against the Dou family, and used a clothes car to carry Dou Miao's body in the south of the city for a few days, Cao Jie and Wang Fu also wanted to bury it only with noble rites, and Emperor Ling still read Dou Miao to welcome himself and mourn him. Cao Jie also proposed to bury Dou Miao elsewhere, and Feng Guiren was worthy of Emperor Huan.
Emperor Ling held a meeting of the Emperor of the Imperial Decree for this purpose. Taiwei Li Xianzheng was sick and said to his wife and children: "If the empress dowager is not allowed to eat Emperor Huan, I will not survive!"
At the meeting, Tingwei Chen Qiu said: "There is no doubt that the queen mother is a good family with virtue and a mother in the world, and she is suitable for the first emperor." "The queen mother is at ease in the pepper room, and has the virtue of a wise mother; The first emperor Yan Jia, because of the prison, moved to the empty palace, unfortunately early life, although the family was guilty, not the queen mother, if you don't bury it now, you will lose the hope of the world. And Feng Guiren's grave was dug up, the bones were exposed, the corpse was combined with the thief, the soul was polluted, and it did not contribute to the country, how should he be worthy of the supreme!"
He also said: "Chen and Dou are both wronged, the empress dowager is claustrophobic for no reason, the ministers are often sad, and the world is indignant! Cao Jie and Wang Fu still cited the previously convicted queen of the Han Dynasty as an example, arguing that Dou was guilty of a major crime and should not be buried with the first emperor, Li Xian refuted them one by one, and pointed out that "the Empress Dowager Changle is honored today, and she has personally tasted the system, and she has supported the establishment of Shengming and Guanglong Huangzuo." The Queen Mother takes Her Majesty as her son, how can Her Majesty not take the Queen Mother as her mother! The son has no mother, and the ministers have no derogatory monarch, so it is appropriate to bury Xuanling together, just like the old system. ”
After Emperor Ling saw it, Dou Miao was finally buried with Emperor Huan of Han in Xuanling, and was called Queen Huansi.
