Chapter 412: Death Again?
Regarding the intention of these two distinguished guests today, Dou Ying obviously knew it.
- Today's Wei Qihou Mansion has long lost its good reputation.
Once upon a time, Dou Ying was also a representative figure of the rare 'civil and military shuangquan' in the Han Dynasty, not only enjoying a high reputation in the army because of Wu Chu's chaoping, but also enjoying a high reputation in the academic community because of his achievements in Confucianism.
It's normal to think about it.
A relative, especially a relative in the family of the Empress Dowager, can not bully men to dominate the market and force good people to become prostitutes, which can already be regarded as 'courteous and gentle'.
If the above two points can be achieved, then petty fights such as making trouble and arranging horses do not seem to be unforgivable.
And Dou Ying at that time, instead of those gentlemen who were born with the problems brought out of their mother's womb, they were not serious!
Holding the Confucian classics in one hand, he became the prince and the prince with his academic prestige and achievements;
Holding a seven-foot sword in one hand, he shined in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and became one of the best military bosses in the new generation of the Han family.
There is a reputation in the academic world, there are martial arts in the ranks, and above the court, it is the Empress Dowager Dou who is preparing for the exam, and two sentences can be inserted in the big things.
Such a relative-such a need-what you want, but a relative who has no problems, used to be the entire Chang'an, and even the entire aristocratic class in the world, who were extremely eager to make good 'friends'.
Let's just say that ten years ago, who were Dou Ying's guests?
The prime minister, Anhou Shen Tujia, regarded Dou Ying as a year-old friend;
The imperial historian Kaifeng Hou Taoqing, wishing he could invite Dou Ying to come to the door for a drink.
As for the others, not to mention - the Manchu Dynasty ministers and civil and military, there is no one who thinks that Dou Ying is not worthy of deep friendship, and thinks that Dou Ying is a person who 'can not be friends'.
If there is anyone who doesn't want to have a personal relationship with Dou Ying, that is, he once had a conflict with Dou Ying on "Cutting the Domain", so he couldn't pull down his face after Dou Ying became a nobleman.
At that time, it was very difficult to visit Dou Ying.
First you have to hand in the prayer post, and then you have to wait for a reply;
can wait for Dou Ying to reply, 'I can greet you at this time', I don't know if there are three or two out of ten people.
Even if they get a positive reply, it must be something like 'I've been busy with this and that thing lately, I can't entertain you well, if you don't mind, I hope you can come to the door on a certain day of the month (usually three or five months later)'.
But even so, no one will ever be dissatisfied because Dou Ying's time is too late, but will be happy that he can really come to visit.
- That's Dou Ying!
——The former general, the current crown prince, the current Empress Dowager Dou, the future Empress Dowager Dou, and the new monarch are about to be established, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it covers the sky with one hand!
If you don't have a position of 2,000 stones, or a restaurant with 5,000 households or more, it is already a great honor to get Dou Ying's opportunity to meet in private······
What about now?
Prime Minister Taohou Liu She, as early as when he was still in Shaofu, he didn't have much to do with Dou Ying.
After becoming the prime minister, in order to clear up the relationship between himself and his relatives, he completely cut off his contacts with every relative, especially Dou Ying.
The last meeting between Liu She and Dou Ying can be traced back to the last official official occasion: the first year of the dynasty.
The last time I had a private meeting, I don't know if it was going back to the Year of the Monkey.
Liu She is like this, and the situation of others is not much better.
Needless to say, Uncle Tian, Zhao Yu and the like, not to mention Zhibudo, Zhou Ren and the like.
Even the emerging relative, Shaofu Jia Gui, and the immortal courtesan Yuan Ang of the Han family, have completely stopped interacting with Dou Ying!
Now, Dou Ying's Wei Qihou Mansion can also usher in a person like Dou Ying, who has a very personal relationship with Dou Ying, and his official position is not too high - at least the principle of the center of the court, and he has caused trouble and needs Dou Ying to solve it.
It can even be said that if he hadn't caused trouble, I'm afraid that even a reckless man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind like Bush Fu would have to weigh whether he should visit Dou Ying or not.
Therefore, Dou Ying knows very well what is the purpose of being able to find his distinguished guests at the moment.
- caused trouble, or wanted to achieve some unattainable goals, and searched the entire Chang'an, but failed to find anyone who could help;
In desperation, he held an idea similar to 'a dead horse as a live horse doctor', and found Dou Ying, who had already retired from the court.
As for Dou Ying, ignoring his old acquaintance Doufu, and instead asking his Jiaoxi King Xiangtian Wei first, it is so that people can see at a glance that they are close and far relatives.
——If you are more distant from Tian Wei, you will deal with Tian Wei's affairs first;
After sending Tian Wei away, he closed the door with the bushman and said something that could only be said between his own family······
"Before I came to Chang'an, I was still worried: my current identity, even with the mission entrusted by the King of Jiaoxi and the Queen Mother, it is difficult to meet Wei Qihou in person."
"It's just that I never thought that once the son of heaven and a courtier, it was too obvious to Wei Qihou to fulfill it······"
"I don't know how well Wei Qihou has been doing in the years since Emperor Xianxiaojing's death?"
Regarding Dou Ying's inquiry of 'talking quickly and farting quickly', Tian Wei very wittily diverted the topic, shifting Dou Ying's attention from his own intention to his own situation.
Of course, Tian Wei is not so kind-at least not so kind-at least not so kind as to care about Dou Ying, a relative who he is not familiar with, and must have no worries about food and clothing for several generations.
The reason why Tian Wei did this was that in addition to feeling the impatience hidden in Dou Ying's words, he wanted to make Dou Ying less wary of himself and less resistant by changing the topic, and he also had another layer of extremely euphemistic deep meaning.
- Tian Wei wants to remind Dou Ying: This time is different from the past, you Wei Qihou are no longer in the state where people are queuing up to see you······
"yes~"
"Time has changed, and the vicissitudes of life have ······"
"Once upon a time, I was the crown prince and the prince of the eldest son of the emperor, and Wang Xiang was the think-tank military advisor of the son-in-law Liu Yu competing for the storage position."
"——Because of these things, I had some unhappiness with Wang Xiang back then."
"It's just that I never thought that one day, the two of us would actually want to see ······ in this Wei Qihou Mansion in such an identity."
···
"Alas······"
"Fate~"
"This is all a predestined fate."
"I, Dou Ying, have the catastrophe of this bird hiding the bow and the rabbit dead and the dog cooking, with the help of a relative's tiger skin, I can barely keep my name and live in the world."
"As for the King of Jiaoxi······"
"Hi~"
"Don't talk about that, drink, drink······"
As if waving his hand bitterly, and pretending to raise his head freely and drink all the wine, Dou Ying lay down on his side again, completely ignoring the dignity and prestige of his marquis and the nephew and nephew of the empress dowager of the dynasty.
Hearing Dou Ying's words, Guan Fu was also full of unwillingness to complain, complaints such as 'Liu's use is like a pearl, and abandon it like a contempt', like a brain that doesn't want money poured out.
For everything that happened in the guest hall, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion didn't know whether they were 'well-trained' or accustomed to it—almost from the moment Dou Ying opened his mouth and said the first sentence of more than five words today, they consciously withdrew from the door collectively.
And after the extremely taboo words of Dou Ying and Guan Fu came into their ears, Tian Wei's heart tightened slightly;
Subconsciously looked around, Fang Xin lowered his head with palpitations, and frowned again.
Tian Wei thought about Dou Ying, and he might have resentment against his current situation, as well as the Empress Dowager Dou, and even the father and son of Tianziqi and Tianzisheng.
But in any case, Tian Wei never thought that the once high-spirited general, the prince and the princess, were now so decadent.
So much so that at this moment, Tian Wei couldn't figure out what to say next, whether he wanted to continue or not.
As the shrub's broken thoughts were gradually replaced by the coquettish humming of the dancing girl in the bush's arms, and Dou Ying's slowly closed eyes, the guest hall only fell into an extremely long silence.
Dou Ying is very peaceful, the bushman is very devoted, and Tian Wei is very embarrassed······
It wasn't until the bushman's face turned red and he made it clear that he was going to fight all night tonight, but he gave up because of the occasion, and Dou Ying's voice that was inexplicably hoarse for a moment sounded in the guest hall without warning.
"What King Jiaoxi wants, I, Dou Ying, I'm afraid I won't be able to help King Jiaoxi."
"-If it was a great general or prince in the past, it might be easy to do it."
"But now Wei Qihou can no longer satisfy the ambitions of King Jiaoxi······"
···
"For what King Jiaoxi wants to do, I don't persuade or say much."
"I just hope that the prime minister can tell the Queen Mother: Your Majesty, it's not just that you have just reached the crown."
"——As early as the outbreak of the Wuchu Rebellion that year, when Emperor Xianxiaojing made up his mind to kill Chao Cuo, and followed the Marquis of Anzhen Wuhou to save Chao Cuo, Your Majesty, you were already an adult."
"Your Majesty now, I'm afraid that your mind is no less than that of Emperor Xiaojing back then, and even in some aspects, it is even better, and it is no better than ······"
"My current situation is the best proof of this······"
Saying this, Dou Ying finally opened his eyes again, but this time he didn't get up again.
Still lazily lying on the couch, he pillowed his head on the palm of his forearm that was supported by it, and said in an indifferent tone: "The things that the Queen Mother did back then, even me and Gongzi Rong back then, and even Li Ji knew about it. ”
"Your Majesty is precocious, I'm afraid you won't know what the Queen Mother did for King Jiaoxi back then."
"For King Jiaoxi, His Majesty may only be a little wary;"
"But for the Queen Mother, Your Majesty's vigilance, I'm afraid it will always exist until Your Majesty brings it into Maoling."
"In this life, the Queen Mother can already be content."
"Even if it's not for herself, it's not for the name of the Tian family, just for her son, the Queen Mother should let go of something······"
···
"—Emperor Xianxiaojing, a man who is ruthless enough, but he is also ruthless enough to kill his siblings;"
"- Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, although he is ruthless and can do it, he is extremely scruptuous, but he is extremely scruptuous, and he cherishes his feathers very much."
"But today's Your Majesty is neither a Ming monarch like Emperor Xianxiaojing, nor a holy monarch like Emperor Taizong Xiaowen."
"Your Majesty, it's the Lord."
"For the male lord, the difference between a saint and a tyrant is often just a thought······
Dropping this last sentence, Dou Ying closed his eyes again, and as soon as he raised his hand slightly, he had already issued an eviction order to Tian Wei.
Poor Tian Wei dignified Jiaoxi Guoxiang, this time he came to Chang'an but hit a wall everywhere, and came to the door with the last luck, but he couldn't say three or two sentences in total, and he didn't even have time to explain his intentions, so he was ordered to be evicted by Dou Ying.
Affectionately got up full of complexity, arched his hand to Dou Ying full of doubts, turned around and walked towards the door of the guest hall, halfway through, Tian Wei finally stopped at three or five steps in the door, took out the stack of land deeds in his arms, and handed them to the servants who sent him out.
"This is a little bit of heart from the King of Jiaoxi to Wei Qihou - to his clan elders."
"In today's situation, I shouldn't have shown this intention so inappropriately, but as a subordinate, I really don't dare to disobey the king's order······"
Regarding Tian Wei's embarrassing situation, the old servant who looked like a housekeeper was full of sympathy, and only pursed his lips and nodded slowly, which was regarded as approving the fig leaf that Tian Wei had found for himself.
- Everything is in plain sight······
"The Prince······
Almost at the moment when Tian Wei's figure disappeared outside the door, the slightly anxious figure of the bush man sounded, but it made Dou Ying grin slightly.
After the husband was full of anxiety, he roughly described the trouble he caused - he caused trouble this time, and briefly summarized the attitudes of all parties on this matter, Dou Ying only opened his eyes!
did not look at the bushman, but looked directly in the direction of Tian Wei's departure—at the Weiyang Palace, which was only separated by a wall from Shang Guanli.
"What did Your Majesty say?"
"--Captain Tingwei is punished severely?"
"Are you sure Your Majesty explained this to the palace people???
It seemed to be a question to the bushman, but it caused the old servant who was standing behind Dou Ying to nod his head slightly after sending Tian Wei out.
"The news that just came out of the palace around dusk, His Majesty seems to be quite annoyed by this matter······
Hearing this, Dou Ying uncharacteristically stiffened his face, like a flagpole, and sat up straight from the couch.
Looking out of the guest hall, his eyes became sharper and sharper, and his snort with the smell of wine became heavier and heavier.
Until the bushman was a little undecided, thinking about whether to get acquainted, when Dou Ying left by himself before the expulsion, Dou Ying's voice suddenly turned cold, only to make the bush man stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
"The credit for quelling the rebellion of Wu Chu can't even save a single life······
"Hey ······"
"It's really worthy of the son of the Liu family······"
···
"Go, send an invitation to Tingwei."
"By the way, give Tingwei a word."
"——The guilty minister irrigated the husband, and let a certain prince personally welcome him into the mansion of the Marquis of Wei."
"If you want to punish the crime, let the court lieutenant personally come to the door and get people."
"I want to see if Zhao Yu has the guts to splash the sky······"
"Humph!"
