But it is said that the queen mother's brother Tian Wei is short in stature, ugly in appearance, and good at sycophancy.

Tian Wei not only held the court, but also had the queen mother as internal support, and was even favored by Emperor Wu. Tian Wei relied on his power and accepted bribes to get rich. Buy the countryside, all the land is anointed. Self-built HOS flats, extremely tall. and chose a beautiful woman to be a concubine, no less than a hundred. Princely officials gave gold and jade treasures, dogs and horses to play, and it was innumerable.

Tian Wei every time he enters the work, he uses more words, and the recommended characters often have to be officials, so he is insatiable, which makes Emperor Wu feel annoyed, and one day Tian Wei presents a recommendation in person, listing more than ten people, asking Emperor Wu to appoint. Emperor Wu glanced at it, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle Mother has used many officials, aren't you satisfied?" Let me choose a few people in the future. Tian Wei sat up and tended to come out. Now that he has built a homeland and wants to enclose the examination site for expansion, he will re-enter the court, and Emperor Wu said abruptly: "Why don't you take the arsenal?" Tian Wei's cheeks turned red, and he thanked him and retreated. For all these reasons, Emperor Wu refused to relax in Wang Hui's case, and the more the Queen Mother's mother and uncle interceded, the more Wang Hui was to be executed. Although Tian Wei's power is strong, he can't resist Emperor Wu.

Tian Wei is not only greedy by nature, but also extremely arrogant, thinking that he is the prime minister of the dynasty, how noble! A group of princes and princes don't pay attention to it, and even put up a shelf in their own homes. One day the wine banquet guests, his half-brother Gaihou Wang Xin was present, Tian Wei actually sat in the east by himself, so that Wang Xin sat in the south direction, thinking that the prime minister was respectful, and he could not lose his body because of his brother, and his arrogance was so great.

Tian Weizheng was very proud, but there was one person who was also a relative, and he was also a liege, and he lost his position at this time, so that he was dwarfed. His person is Wei Qihou Dou Ying.

Since the death of the Empress Dowager Dou, Dou Ying has been depressed and unhappy at home, and now he sees Tian Wei as the phase, making a blessing and being arrogant, and he is really unsightly. Recalling the early years of Emperor Jing, as a general, how prominent his reputation was, at that time, Tian Wei was a young man and a humble official, every time he came to see him, or accompanied the waiter to feast and drink, bow down and respectfully, and often held the gift of his son and nephew. Who knows that the situation is easy to move over time, Dou Ying fell, Tian Wei was overlifted, and never came back again, regarded as a stranger, and even a group of relatives and friends have changed their attitudes, only knowing that they tend to inherit Tian's family, and have never tasted Doumen, and the only one is still in friendship, and it is not due to the decay of prosperity.

At that time, Guanfu was famous for the battle of Wu Chu, and after the incident, Emperor Jing worshiped Guanfu as Lieutenant General Lang.

Later, he was dismissed from office and lived in Chang'an. The bushman is upright by nature and does not like sycophants, and he respects the poor and the lowly on weekdays, and despises the powerful, and it is best to reward young newcomers, but he is addicted to alcohol. He was originally a native of Yingchuan, with a lot of wealth, usually good at making friends and cunning, often dozens of diners, and the bushman went out as an official, and the clan guests relied on the official to support the fish and meat villagers. Yingchuan people also have complaints, and the husband has been away for many years and has no time to consult family affairs.

The husband lives in Chang'an, has nothing to do, and from time to time goes to Dou Ying's place to sit and talk, the two are both frustrated and sympathize with each other. At this time, although Tian Wei was powerful, he had no enmity with the two, who knew that the two wanted to be in the snobbish field, and they refused to back down at all, so that they caused trouble.

One day, the irrigation husband occasionally went to Tian Wei to sit and talk, and Tian Wei knew that the irrigation husband and Dou Ying were friendly, so he said casually: "I want to visit Wei Qihou, is Zhong Ru willing to go together?" The husband is just a lie, but the husband responds: "The prime minister is willing to insult the Marquis of Wei Qi's family, and the husband dares to resign?" The bento was conveyed to Wei Qi and asked him to prepare wine and food, and the prime minister hoped to come early tomorrow. Tian Wei promised. The bushman resigned and went to Dou Ying to talk to him. Dou Ying was also happy when she heard the letter, and immediately instructed the cook to buy cattle, sheep, chicken, Yashan and seafood delicacies, prepare a banquet, and the family was busy all night without sleeping.

When it was dawn, Dou Ying ordered his subordinates to wait carefully, and when he saw the prime minister, he immediately entered the house to report it, so that he could come out to greet him. Soon the bushman arrived early and prepared to accompany the prime minister.

At this time, the banquet has already been completed, waiting for Tian Wei to arrive. Who knew that from Tianming to the middle of the day, before he saw it, Dou Ying said to the irrigation man: "Could it be that the prime minister forgot about this?" When the bushman saw that Tian Wei did not come, he was very displeased, so he personally drove to Yingtian Wei. Tian Wei was just a lie before, and he really didn't mean to go to the banquet. When the bushman came to the door, Tian Wei was still sleeping.

The bushman had to sit and wait, and after a long time, he saw Tian Wei come out. The bushman greeted him and said: "The prime minister promised to go to Wei Qihou's house yesterday, and Wei Qihou and his wife prepared a banquet, and they have not dared to eat since dawn. When Tian Wei heard the pretense and forgot, he said, "I was drunk last night and I forgot." So he drove there.

Dou Ying took Tian Wei in and out of the banquet, and the three of them sat down together. When the wine was drunk, the bushman got up and danced and asked Tian Wei to dance. Tian Wei sat still. Dou Ying was afraid that the irrigation husband would anger Tian Wei, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Zhongru is drunk, you can rest for a while." So they helped the bushman out. Dou Ying asked Tian Wei to accompany the husband again, but Tian Wei remained silent and smiled. Drink until midnight and go home.

Tian Wei is proud of his dignity, and his willingness to go to Dou Ying's house this time is a great favor. After a while, I heard that there were several acres of land in the south of Dou Yingcheng, which was very fat, so I asked Dou Ying for blessing. After hearing this, Dou Ying was displeased and said: "Although the old man is abandoned and not used, although the prime minister is expensive, how can he take advantage of each other?" The bushman also scolded Jifu angrily when he saw it. Although Ji Fu was annoyed when he was scolded, he didn't tell Tian Wei, but just persuaded him: "Wei Qihou is old, so he is dying, just wait!" ”。 Someone spread the words of Dou Ying and Guan Fu to Tian Wei's ears, and Tian Wei said angrily: "Wei Qihou's son once committed the crime of murder, I tried to save his life, I asked Wei Qihou to let him have nothing to do, but he refused to talk to me." Besides, what does this matter have to do with the bushman, but I am not unfamiliar with this few acres of land, see how long the two of them can live? From then on, Tian Wei resented Dou Ying and Dou Fu, so he wanted to calculate and harm him.

In the spring of the third year of Yuanguang, Tian Wei entered the Emperor Wu and said: "The husband's house is in Yingchuan, which is very rampant, and it is a problem for the people, so he should be investigated." Emperor Wu said: "This is what Cheng should do, why bother to play." When Tian Wei heard this, he wanted to punish the irrigation husband, but who knew that the irrigation man had already found a major crime of Tian Wei as a handle. If Tian Wei wanted to investigate the irrigation husband, the irrigation man would also come forward to denounce it, so Tian Wei did not dare to do it.

It turned out that when Tian Wei was the Tai Lieutenant, it was just right for Liu An, the king of Huainan, to enter the court, Tian Wei personally went to the Ba Shang to greet him, and said to Liu An: "The Lord has no prince, the king is the most virtuous, and he is the grandson of Gaozu. Liu An was overjoyed when he heard this, and gave Tian Wei money and property, and asked him to pay attention to help. This matter was originally a secret, and I don't know how to be found out by the bush, if he heard about Emperor Wu, Tian Wei would not even be able to save his life.

The bushman took advantage of this to hold Tian Wei hostage, and his methods were ruthless.

In the summer of this year, Tian Wei continued to marry the daughter of Liu Jia, the king of Yan, as his wife, and the queen mother issued an edict to summon the princes to congratulate him. Of course, Dou Ying remembered, remembering that Doufu and Tian Wei had a grudge, it was better to take advantage of Tian Wei's happy event to invite Doufu to meet, so that the two would still be reconciled. So he drove to the bushman's house and explained his intentions. The husband resigned: "The husband often offends the prime minister because of drunkenness, and the prime minister has been with the husband recently, so it is better not to go." Dou Ying said: "The previous matter has been reconciled, don't mind," and then forcibly invited the husband to go with him. The bushman was just Dou Ying's face, so he had to go as he said.

It is said that the prime minister marries his wife, which is naturally very lively. On this day, the whole body of the day was brought out to receive the guests, and it was very high-spirited and very happy. Dou Ying took the bush to congratulate the Taoist. The two of them have their own hearts and minds, but they also pretend to be courteous on their faces.

When the guests arrived, Tian Wei ordered the banquet to be arranged and invited everyone to sit down and drink.

When he got drunk, Tian Wei got up and toasted to the guests according to his position.

When the guests saw Tian Wei coming to toast, they all avoided the table and bowed down very respectfully. After Tian Wei finished saluting, the guests also attended the toast in turn, and soon it was Dou Ying's turn, only to see half of the guests avoiding the table and prostrating; The other half was just kneeling on the table. It turns out that the ancients sat on the ground, with their buttocks resting on their heels, and when kneeling, they just stretched their waists straight. The bushman was very displeased. Later, it was the turn of the bushman to toast, and he toasted Tian Wei in turn. Tian Wei saw the grub toast, so he knelt on the table and said, "You can't fill the cup." The bushman poured a full cup and handed it to Tian Wei, and sneered: "Although the prime minister is a nobleman, he must drink all this wine." Tian Wei only drank half of his anger, and the bushman had to stop, and later paid tribute to Linru Hou Guanxian. Guan Xianfang and Cheng didn't know each other and whispered, and they didn't shy away from the table when they saw Guan Fu. Guan Fu took advantage of this to scold Guan Xian angrily: "You usually say that Cheng is not worth a penny. Now the elder toasts and prefers to talk to him! "Guan Xianben and Guan Fu's family were scolded and had nothing to say. Cheng is not cautious, and he doesn't care about others, only Tian Wei forced him to drink because of his aptitude, and he was already unhappy in his heart. Listening to Guan Fu pointing out Sang and scolding Huai, he said to Guan Fu: "Cheng and Li are the guards of the East and West Palaces, and now they insult General Cheng in public, and Zhong Ru will not leave some ground for General Li?" It turned out that Li Guangsu was respected by the bushman, and Tian Wei was provoked by this. Hearing this, the bushman was like adding fuel to the fire, and said sharply: "I won't avoid beheading today, just care about Cheng and General Li." "Say it and scold it.

At this time, the guests on the table saw that the bushman was angry with the wine, and they all left their seats to avoid for a while. Dou Ying was anxious, and hurriedly got up and beckoned. Tian Wei thought to himself how lively today's happy event was, but he was killed by the drummer, and everyone scattered. I'm a dignified prime minister, and I won't let him waste it in vain, and I swayed away? If I don't turn the skin and deal with him, how can it seem that I am at stake? Tian Wei then detained the bushman from the horseman, did not order him to go back, and promised to hold the door left and right, and the bushman was not allowed to go out. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Fu even begged Tian Wei to spare the bushman, and pressed the neck of the bushman to make him apologize. The bushman became more and more angry and refused to apologize. Tian Wei saw that the bushman was stubborn, so he commanded the cavalry to bind the people and temporarily put the house away.

But how to deal with this matter? If it is said that the drummer is drunk and abused, it is a small mistake, and it is considered an insult to the prime minister, and it is not a big crime. Tian Wei thought of a plan, he sent someone to summon Changshi and said: "Today, there is an edict to invite the princes to the clan, and the husband scolds and sits, but he has no edict, and he has committed the crime of disrespect, and he should be impeached." ”

He then ordered the husband to be detained in the cell. Tian Wei was bent on putting Guan Fu to death, so he took advantage of the situation to investigate the past, sent officials to arrest the Guan clan, and revealed all kinds of evil deeds, all of which were capital crimes.

Although the bushman also wanted to report Tian Wei at this time, he had no choice but to be detained, and his family and clan were either taken in prison or escaped, and even a group of jailers were Tian Wei's eyes and ears, and no one was upset, only Dou Ying stepped forward to rescue the bushman. His wife persuaded him: "General Guan has offended the prime minister and opposed the people of the Queen Mother's family, how can he be rescued?" Wei Qihou said: "The marquis was earned by me, and now it is up to me to throw it away, there is nothing to regret." Besides, I can't let Guan Zhongru die by himself, and I live alone. So he asked the guests to intercede with Tian Wei, but Tian Wei said no one by one. Dou Ying couldn't, so he went to the secret room to write a book to confess the injustice of the husband. Then go to Beique to write a book.

Emperor Wu took the book on Dou Ying, and immediately summoned him into the palace, Dou Ying saw Emperor Wu, and prepared to say that the husband was drunk and negligent, and the crime would not lead to death. Emperor Wu nodded, and rewarded Dou Ying to eat together, and then said: "Wait until the coming day to explain this matter to the Eastern Dynasty." Dou Ying saw that he had to retreat.

The next day, Emperor Wu sat in Changle Palace and convened a meeting of ministers to irrigate the prison.

Dou Ying said that the husband was very good, and this time he was guilty of a small mistake after drinking, and the prime minister coerced him to accuse him. Tian Weiji Chen Guanfu traffic cunning fish and meat in the township, all kinds of unscrupulous things. Dou Ying was clumsy, and he actually said that Tian Wei was not enough, so he had to turn to Tian Wei and say how Tian Wei was arrogant and greedy on weekdays. Tian Wei didn't distinguish when he heard it, but said: "Now the world is fortunate and happy, Tian Wei is fortunate to be served by the lord, the favorite music dog Ma Tian Zhai, the owner advocates excellent craftsmen and the like, unlike Wei Qihou and Guan Fu, who recruit the world's heroes and heroes, discuss and discuss day and night, slander the dissatisfaction with the court, either look up at the sky, or bow their heads to paint on the ground, peeping between the east and west palaces, hoping that changes will happen in the world, so that they can make meritorious achievements." I don't understand what Wei Qihou wants to do? The two debated for a long time, and Emperor Wu asked the courtiers: "Who is what the two say?" Each has its own opinion. ”

Han Anguo, the imperial historian, went out and said: "Wei Qiyan was killed in battle by his father, and he galloped into the Wu army with a halberd, and was wounded dozens of times. If there is no great evil in arguing over a glass of wine, you can't lead him to blame, Wei Qihou said yes. The prime minister said that the husband befriended the traitors and abused the small people, and the rich family was rampant in Yingchuan, which must be investigated, and the prime minister's words were also true. How it should be handled, I hope that His Majesty will judge. Han Anguo retreated.

Emperor Wu recently saw Tian Wei arrogant, and he hated him in his heart, but because of the queen mother, he had to pretend to be vague and say that he would discuss it another day.

Tian Wei slowly retreated, walked out of the palace gate, and saw that Han Anguo was still in front, so he called for a car with him, and said with Hu'anguo: "Elder child, you should treat the bald man with me (Dou Ying is old and bald), why are the two ends of the first rat?" ”。 An Guo pondered for a long time and said, "Why don't you be humble? Wei Qi said that the king was short, and the king should thank the lord without a crown and seal, saying: 'The minister is fortunate to entrust the lord to the bottom of his heart, and he is ashamed to be incompetent, Wei Qi said everything, and the minister is willing to be dismissed. In this way, the Lord will be pleased with the king's ability and will definitely comfort him, and Wei Qihou will feel ashamed. Today's people destroy the king's shortcomings, and the king also destroys people, just like village women and children quarrel with each other, isn't it self-defeating? Tian Wei also felt that he was anxious when he heard this, so he thanked Han Anguo and said: "I am in a hurry to argue. Don't blame me! He Tian Wei returned to the first, recalling the court dispute, but he could not win, so he had to ask the Queen Mother to come out and be the master, so that Dou Ying could be overthrown. It is to make people enter the White Empress Dowager to ask for help.

The queen mother has already paid attention to the investigation, I heard that the court is more protective of Dou Ying, it is already displeased, and Tian Wei makes people into white, the more angry they feel, when Emperor Wu enters the palace to see the meal, the Queen Mother throws the chopstick, Gu Yuwu Emperor said: "I am still alive, people will abuse my brother, after a hundred years, I am afraid that I will become fish and meat!" Emperor Wu immediately stepped forward and thanked: "Tian and Dou are relatives, so they must be discussed; Otherwise, it is not a big deal, and a jailer can decide. "The queen mother's face was not even, and Emperor Wu had to persuade her to eat, saying that she should be severely punished for Dou Ying. And after leaving the palace, Lang Zhong ordered Shi Jianfu and Emperor Wu to explain Tian Dou's facts in detail, and Emperor Wu originally understood, but because the Queen Mother protected Tian Wei, she had to deal with it from the power. He then summoned Dou Ying to ask him, accused him of being untrue, and detained him in the Dukong Office. Dou Ying was detained, how could he rescue the bushman again, there was Si Xi's order, and he actually planned the bush husband to be punished. Dou Ying became more and more frightened when she heard the news.

However, it is said that during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Dou Ying had received an edict from him when he was dying, which read: "If you encounter something inconvenient for you, you can adapt to the situation and report your opinion to the emperor." "When he was detained and convicted of extermination, the situation became more and more urgent day by day, and none of the ministers dared to explain this matter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Dou Ying asked his nephew to report to the emperor about accepting the edict, hoping to be summoned by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again. The book was submitted to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the archives kept by Shangshu were checked, but there was no edict from Emperor Jing on his deathbed. This edict was only sealed in Dou Ying's house, and it was sealed and sealed by Dou Ying's retainers. So he impeached Dou Ying for forging the edict of the first emperor, and should be sentenced to beheading.

Emperor Wu knew that Shangshu intended to frame Dou Ying, and he stayed in the middle and did not send it, but he put the husband to death, and the family was punished, which was worthy of the empress dowager's maternal uncle. When the amnesty arrives in the coming spring, Dou Ying will be released. Dou Ying heard that Shangshu impeached him, and he knew that the worse he was, it was better to pretend that he would commit suicide by pretending to be sick and sick. I also heard that Emperor Wu had not approved it, and there was still a glimmer of life, so I resumed eating and drinking as usual. How do you know that Tian Weisha is at stake, but he is afraid that Dou Ying will not die, so he secretly creates rumors, falsely accusing Dou Ying of resentment in prison, and slandering him. When it reached the ears of Emperor Wu, he thought it was true, but he was furious and ordered Dou Ying to be beheaded. Poor Dou Ying is not guilty of capital crimes, the head of Weicheng, even if the bushman touches Tian Wei, there is no major crime, but he is not a strange injustice.

Now that the two of them are dead, Tian Wei is very happy. Who knew that the way of heaven was good, and the retribution was not happy, only in the spring, Tian Wei got sick, but it was strange, but he felt pain everywhere in his body, and he seemed to have been hit. Tian Wei only called out to admit his sin, but others didn't see it, and they refused to say anything when they asked him. The family was frightened, prayed to God everywhere, and postponed the medical treatment, but to no avail.

When the Queen Mother and Emperor Wu heard that the car was coming, they expected that he would definitely encounter a ghost, so they sent a witch who could see ghosts to take a look. The report was that Wei Qihou and Guan Fu guarded Tian Wei's side and jointly flogged him to claim his life. Emperor Wu heard it and understood in his heart that the Queen Mother also regretted it, and it was beyond her reach. However, a few days later, Tian Wei died by crying, and his son Tian Tian inherited the title.

In the third year of Yuan Shuo (126 BC), Tian Tian entered the palace in short clothes, committed the crime of "disrespect", and the title was abolished.

In the first year of Yuanjia (122 BC), Liu An, the king of Huainan, was found to have rebelled, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty investigated the matter and knew that Liu An had given Tian Wei a lot of gold and silver property. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "If the Marquis of Wu'an is still alive, it is time to exterminate the clan." ”
