Dou Ying is gone;

The edict is gone;

The Queen Mother was furious;

And all the people in the temple also woke up.

After a while, the Empress Dowager Dou also left;

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, followed;

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, has returned to Weiyang;

The banquet of Changxin Palace was dispersed······

The first to leave the table were the relatives of Xixi's family.

When leaving the Changxin Palace, in addition to the two old men of the Dou family's relatives: Nanpihou Dou Changjun and Zhangwu Hou Dou Guangguo brothers, they shook their heads and sighed and walked out of the Changxin Palace, and the faces of the others when they left were extremely exciting;

Cheng, Tang, and Jia's three relatives, almost at the moment when Empress Dowager Dou left, got up from their seats together, and looked deeply at the ladies in Dongxi, before leaving the Changxin Hall in a hurry.

From the expressions of these relatives when they left, it is not difficult to see the words 'common hatred';

If nothing else, in the next few days, the figures of these relatives will appear in the Xuanming Hall and Guangming Hall of Weiyang Palace with a very high frequency.

As for the Empress Bo family, as well as the family of the late Empress Dowager, the people are so thin that today's palace banquet, only the Bo family's relatives who are present with the Hou Bo Rongnu are obviously not concerned with themselves, and they are hanging high.

——After the first Marquis Bo Zhao 'committed suicide in shame', Bo's relatives in the Han family court became more and more weak;

In addition, a few months ago, the death of the Empress Dowager Bo has completely pushed the once prominent Bo relatives to the edge of the cliff.

Now, only the queen Bo and the marquis Bo Rongnu are the only ones who support the Bo family's relatives.

But even these two people are now mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect themselves······

If you want to say that among Xixi's relatives, who has the most unbearable reaction, it is undoubtedly the Li family who was frightened by today's palace banquet and almost became incontinent.

——After Empress Dowager Dou left the table angrily, the representative of the Li family's relatives, that is, Li Ji's father, actually ignored the eyes of everyone in this palace, and wanted to come forward to find Li Ji and Liu Rong's mother and son!

If Liu Rong hadn't raised his head with a gloomy face and warned his grandfather not to approach, he was afraid that the Li family would have to discuss countermeasures in front of these dozens of people in the hall······

The two brothers Dou Changjun and Dou Guangguo, who were relatives of the Dou family, got up with the support of their sons and nephews and took the lead in leaving the Changxin Palace, followed by the Marquis Bo Rongnu;

Waiting for the relatives of Cheng, Tang, and Jia to also leave, the Li family also left silently under Liu Rong's warning, and Li Ji, who was sitting behind the three sons, finally slowly got up from her seat.

took a deep breath, dispelled the horror in his heart a little, and stretched out his trembling hand to grab the arm of his eldest son Liu Rong;

Turning around, she slowly walked past the other princes and their wives, and when she was about to walk in front of Liu Pengzu and Liu Rong's brothers, Li Ji finally stopped.

"Today, Today's Things ······"

"On the second day after tomorrow, if you have time, you will gather in the Phoenix Palace······"

Turning sideways in shock, he cast his meaningful gaze on the three ladies Cheng, Tang, and Jia in turn, and Li Ji continued to take two more steps.

Seeing Wang Meiren at the end, she was indifferently hugging the tenth son of the emperor, Liu Yu, but there was no trace of worry on her face, and Li Ji also stopped again.

"Wang Meiren, remember to come too."

Saying this in a tone that seemed to be an order and a little frightened, Kurihime turned around and led her three sons towards the outside of the Nagasin Hall.

But everyone knows in their hearts: Kuri Ji at this time is far from being as calm as she seems······

·

Half an hour later, Chang'an Shangguanli, Nanpihou Mansion.

The two brothers Nanpihou Dou Changjun and Zhangwu Hou Dou Guangguo knelt on the top with mixed faces;

In front of the two old men, Dou Ying, who had 'woken up' from drunkenness, was kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

Dou Ying did it on purpose.

This is clear to everyone.

But looking at Dou Ying's stubborn and undodging gaze, the brothers Dou Changjun and Dou Guangguo didn't know how to speak for a while.

Just looked at each other silently for a long time, and seeing that the two old men still didn't mean to speak, Dou Ying finally shook his head with a wry smile and bowed to the two old men in front of him.

"As the nephew of the Dou family, in front of His Majesty, and all the ladies, sons, and relatives, I have damaged the face of the Queen Mother, and my nephew will die hard;"

"If the two adults want to practice the family law, the nephew will be willing to be punished."

"—But the only thing the nephew is willing to accept is the family law."

"If the two adults plan to connive at the Queen Mother and use the law of the country to punish the crime, then the nephew will never accept it······"

With Dou Ying's respectful and polite, but full of firm words, the faces of the two elders became more and more complicated.

The two brothers looked at each other for a moment, and finally the older Nanpihou Dou Changjun sighed with a sad face.

"This matter, the Queen Mother is confused······"

"Bo's experience from the past, the Queen Mother, has completely forgotten ······"

As Dou Changjun's hoarse and old tone sounded, an incident that happened just over ten years ago immediately appeared in the minds of the three uncles and nephews.

- In the tenth year of Emperor Taizong's filial piety, there was a riot in Taiyuan, and Emperor Xiaowen Liu Heng immediately sent his love general Zhong Yu to Taiyuan to quell the rebellion.

After arriving in Taiyuan under order, Zhong Yu thoroughly investigated the causes and consequences of the riot, and finally confirmed: The source of the riot was none other than the relative of the dynasty - Marquis Yi, Bo Zhao!

Because of the riots in Taiyuan County, it was mainly in the feudal state of Marquis Bo Zhao: Yi County;

The person who secretly fueled the flames and led to the outbreak of the rebellion was Bo Zhao's nephew who stayed in Yi County and was responsible for governing the feudal state: Bo Gui.

Zhong Yu is very upright, and with the emperor's order, after finding out the truth, he used the imperial sword given by Liu Heng, the son of heaven, to kill the culprit Bo Gui in the market of Yi County.

At this point, there is still room for change.

Because at this time, Bo Zhao was already a general of the chariot cavalry, and he was also the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Bo and the uncle of Liu Heng, the son of heaven.

- There was a riot in Taiyuan, and the culprit Bo Gui was dead;

As long as Bo Zhao puts on a posture of 'I am not familiar with Bo Gui, he did all those things behind my back, and I don't know anything', he can take himself out of this matter.

However, Bo Zhao, who was the official to the general of the chariot cavalry, had the support of the Empress Dowager Bo and boasted of having the 'skill of submergence from the dragon', but he did not choose to do so.

After Zhong Yu quelled the riots in Taiyuan, he led the rebel army back to Chang'an;

Liu Heng, the Son of Heaven, also sent the old ministers of the court to Chang'an City to welcome Zhong Yu who had returned from his success for himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhong Yu returned to Chang'an, Bo Zhao ordered his family to kidnap Zhong Yu in front of dozens of old ministers!

tied Zhong Yu to his home, and Bo Zhao did everything he could;

- First of all, he tortured to extract a confession, forcing Zhong Yu to admit that he killed Bo Gui, because he wanted to perfunctory the mission given by Liu Heng, the son of heaven, so that he could return to Chang'an as soon as possible!

After that, he persecuted Zhong Yu and wore filial piety for his dead nephew Bo Gui······

And Zhong Yu can be appreciated by Liu Heng, the son of heaven, because he is upright and upright;

So for Bo Zhao's persecution, Zhong Yu swore to death.

Zhong Yu told Bo Zhao: This riot broke out because of your Bo Zhao's mistakes, but in the end, it was I, Zhong Yu, who put it down.

Now, you should think carefully about your mistakes, go to Your Majesty, admit your mistakes of 'not knowing people', and beg Your Majesty for forgiveness;

Instead of tying me, the hero who put down the riots, in my own home, and forcing me to clear my name for Bo Gui, a rebellious minister and thief.

At this point, the situation is still ~ There is still room for turnaround.

Facing the Empress Dowager's younger brother and the Son of Heaven's uncle, Zhong Yu can be said to have saved enough face for Bo Zhao and the Empress Dowager Bo!

Not only that, Zhong Yu even pointed out the right path to Bo Zhao;

——Avoiding the important and trivial, only admitting that he was wrong about Bo Gui, in order to clear himself of the guilt of 'instructing Bo Gui to loot people's property, which eventually led to riots'.

But Bo Zhao once again chose the wrong path······

For Zhong Yu's kindness, Bo Zhao was annoyed and angry, and directly killed Zhong Yu, who was unwilling to 'confess', in the Marquis of Yi's mansion!

Subsequently, Bo Zhao shamelessly ran to Weiyang Palace and reported to Liu Heng, the Son of Heaven: Your Majesty! Zhong Yu's dog thief refused to admit his guilt, and the minister had already helped His Majesty behead Zhong Yu's dog thief······

When the news came out, the Chang'an court was shocked!

Even the Queen Mother Bo was shocked by her younger brother Bo Zhao's actions!

At the peak of the fermentation of the situation, Bo Zhao finally embarked on a hopeless dead end.

——Knowing that her husband was beheaded by Bo Zhao, Zhong Yu's wife was so grief-stricken that she left a suicide note accusing Bo Zhao and then committed suicide at home!

And the suicide note left by Mrs. Zhong Yu was also escorted by Prime Minister Zhang Cang, and was finally sent to Liu Heng, the son of heaven.

At this time, Liu Heng, the son of heaven, finally understood: the riot in Taiyuan may be the handiwork of his uncle Bo Zhao;

Just when Liu Heng was entangled in whether to report the matter to his mother, Empress Dowager Bo, news came from outside the palace again: after learning about Mrs. Zhong Yu's suicide note, Bo Zhao was angry again and sent someone to kill Zhong Yu's only son in private······

The situation has developed to this point, and Bo Zhao has to die.

- Bo Zhao is not dead, not enough to be angry!

- Bo Zhao's immortality is not enough to settle the world!!

With such determination, as well as the warmth of 'saving the last trace of face for his uncle', Liu Heng, the Son of Heaven, sent Prime Minister Zhang Cang and Tingwei Zhou Xing to the Marquis Mansion with the imperial wine to persuade Bo Zhao to keep his dignity.

Unexpectedly, Bo Zhao still did not repent, and instead of drinking the wine of the family preservation family, he sent someone to find his sister Empress Dowager Bo, wanting to use the power of the Empress Dowager to escape from responsibility;

Subsequently, the courtiers and officials who learned that Bo Zhao 'refused to leave dignity for themselves' began to sing elegy outside the Marquis Yi's mansion day and night to mourn the still living Marquis Bo Zhao.

In the end, Bo Zhao, who was still not 'convinced' by the elegy and condolence words of the courtiers and hundreds of officials, was summoned into the palace by Liu Heng, the son of heaven.

After entering the palace and discovering the 'living sacrifice' set by Liu Heng, the Son of Heaven, Bo Zhaocai finally gave up, and in front of his mourning hall, he drew his sword and killed himself······

"Since the incident of Marquis Bo Zhao, the Empress Dowager Bo has never asked about the government;"

"Even after the death of Emperor Taizong and His Majesty became the emperor, Empress Dowager Bo, who became the Empress Dowager, also handed over all the power of Changle Palace to the Empress Dowager."

"It was also from the incident of Bo Zhao that Empress Bo was never favored by His Majesty again······"

The tone full of embarrassment pulled Dou Guangguo and Dou Ying's thoughts back to his eyes, and Dou Changjun's shrugged eyelids couldn't help flashing a glimmer of light.

"The decline of the Bo clan began with the incident of Bo Zhao;"

"It was also because at that time, Empress Dowager Bo did not dissuade Bo Zhao, but tried to pardon Bo Zhao's capital crimes, which made the Bo family more and more weak."

"——Today, the relatives of the Bo family, who were once prominent in the court, are left with only the Marquis Bo Rongnu to support him;"

"But Queen Bo has not given birth to an heir so far······"

"When the pepper room is changed, Bo's relatives will also officially disappear from the court·········"

Shaking his head and sighing to say this, Dou Changjun turned sideways again, stretched out his hand that was as old as a dead tree, and gently patted the back of his younger brother Dou Guangguo's hand beside him.

"We two brothers, our lives are miserable;"

"When I was young, I was separated from the Queen Mother in the war;"

"It wasn't until the time of the first emperor that the Queen Mother entered the Jiaofang, and we brothers were able to escape from that treacherous mine and reunite with the Queen Mother······"

"But after we came to Chang'an, the ministers of the court and the central government, but because of the relatives of the Lu family and the marquis Bo Zhao, they took every possible precaution against our two brothers."

"In order for our two brothers not to become another Bo Zhao, we two old bones have been taught by the old gentleman in the palace for many years."

"——Back then, Zhang Cang, Marquis of Beiping, was deposed as prime minister, and the one who was supposed to succeed to the position of prime minister should have been Marquis Zhang Wu."

"But in order to protect my Dou family, Zhang Wuhou is also willing to give up the opportunity to become the prime minister, and from then on, he will no longer care about the affairs of the court······"

Hearing his brother Dou Changjun's words, Dou Guangguo on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

The things that Dou Changjun said are not far away.

- The two brothers escaped from the mine and recognized their sister Dou less than twenty years ago;

The two brothers completed nearly ten years of 'study' under the strict defense of the entire Chang'an court, proving that they would not become the next Lu and Bo Zhao, that is, more than ten years ago;

As for the deposition of Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, and Dou Guangguo, the Marquis of Zhangwu, almost became the prime minister, but he finally gave up, and it happened only eight years ago······

"Wang Sun did the right thing."

Recalling the experience of almost becoming the prime minister, but finally missing out, Dou Guangguo's face also swelled with a touch of relief;

Without hesitation, he said, 'Do the right thing', Dou Guangguo looked at Dou Ying's gaze, and he also became more and more appreciative.

"—I could have become a prime minister because I had enough knowledge and virtue;"

"And I didn't become the prime minister in the end, in order to avoid my Dou family, following in the footsteps of the former Lu family and the current Bo family."

"Now, the Queen Mother doesn't know who she has bewitched, and she actually wants to let the side branch of the royal family replace the lineage when the lineage is not severe······"

"This is really an appalling thing, and it is also a disaster for my Dou clan and the world."

"At the palace banquet just now, Wang Sun can stand up and stop the Queen Mother from doing something that is not conducive to the world and may lead to the extinction of my Dou family, we two old guys, there is no reason to punish Wang Sun."

Hearing Dou Guangguo's words, Dou Ying couldn't help but smile miserably, and then with sincere admiration, he bowed down to Dou Changjun and Dou Guangguo's two uncles again.

Wang Sun, not to say that Dou Ying is the descendant of any prince and king, but Dou Ying's expression.

What he is doing today can be understood by Dou Changjun and Dou Guangguo, two 'loyal elders' who have been well-known for a long time, even inside and outside the government and the opposition.

——With these two old men, the future of the Dou clan will never be another Bo clan······

"We are very supportive of Wang Sun's approach;"

"But family law, you can't go uninvited."

Just as he was thinking about it, Dou Changjun's deep voice came into his ears, causing Dou Ying to be stunned;

After seeing the helplessness in Dou Changjun's eyes, Dou Ying, who reacted, finally had to nod his head slowly.

"For Zongmiao and Sheji, what Wang Sun is doing today is the embodiment of loyal ministers."

"But in my Dou family, the queen mother, is still the elder of Wang Sun after all;"

"If you lose your manners in front of your elders, if you are not punished by the family law, then the queen mother will not forgive the prince and grandson."

After explaining with a bitter face, he saw Dou Changjun slowly stand up, walked in front of Dou Ying, and stretched out his hand to help Dou Ying, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Then, Dou Changjun patted the back of Dou Ying's hand with a little reassurance, and between his eyebrows, there was a look of exhaustion.

"If nothing else, at this moment, the Queen Mother has taken away the palace registration of the prince and grandson;"

"In recent days, Wang Sun will no longer look for the emperor's eldest son."

"If you have received the family law, in the name of thinking behind closed doors, you can rest at home for a while······"

"When the Queen Mother is discouraged and no longer confused, we two old guys will go to Changle Palace again and persuade them politely, the Queen Mother should be able to forgive the prince and grandson······"

Feeling the love of his cousin Dou Changjun, Dou Yingzi only smiled and nodded, and then respectfully helped Dou Changjun and sat back on the top position.

After the two uncles sat back in their positions, Dou Ying knelt down in front of the two old men again with an elegant smile.

"My Dou clan can have today's glory because of the Queen Mother;"

"But if you want not to follow in the footsteps of the relatives of the Lu and Bo families, what the Dou family needs is an old man like the two uncles."

"Nephew, I'm going to take care of my own family law."

"I just hope that the two uncles can take care of their health and take care of the Dou family for a little more time;"

"I can also teach a few useful men, so that my Dou family can prosper for a long time······"

After speaking, Dou Ying bowed to the two elders in a deep voice, and immediately walked towards the ancestral hall in the side courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

After Dou Ying left, the two brothers Dou Changjun and Dou Guangguo looked at each other and smiled, and then shook their heads.

- Today's matter, the Queen Mother Dou is really a little too confused;

But there are Dou Changjun and Dou Guangguo, the two Dinghai gods, and there are young talents like Dou Ying, Dou's will definitely not follow the Lu family and the Bo family······

I slept last night, and I woke up this afternoon, and the update is a little late.
