Chapter 129: Dou Ying and Tian Wei 5
[Vol. 1] Section 129: Dou Ying and Tian Wei 5
------------
The husband was arrested, which made Dou Ying fall into extreme guilt.
If he hadn't invited the husband to the prime minister's mansion to drink the wedding wine, he would not have caused this kind of thing, and the mud not only did not get along, but it stimulated the contradictions.
Dou Ying is a person who understands, he saw the clues from Tian Wei's big move, it is not easy for the bush to come out alive, just a big disrespect can punish him for the nine clans, and the bush husband's family has repeatedly broken the law.
"It's difficult, it's difficult!" Dou Ying sighed to himself, and he didn't even notice that his wife had entered the study.
Mrs. Dou Ying brought a bowl of ginseng soup and handed it to Dou Ying, Dou Ying took it, handed it to his mouth, gently blew the bubbling hot air, swallowed it slowly, and then took a sip, but put it down again, and sighed heavily.
Seeing this, Mrs. Dou Ying persuaded without worry: "General Guan has offended the prime minister and disobeyed the queen mother's family, why do you want to save it?" ”
Dou Ying glanced at his wife, he saw her deep worry and fear in her eyes, he knew what she was thinking, and he also understood that his wife's worries were not unreasonable. With Tian Wei's personality, as long as he is in power, it is only a matter of time before he pays the price.
But Dou Ying knew that these were not enough reasons for him to protect his life, and besides, the matter of the husband started because of him, and the husband could still stay by his side when he was down, accompanied by his confidant, so friendly, how could he stand by and watch?
Dou Ying couldn't bear to see his wife's tears, which would soften his heart, and he said slowly: "A marquis, if you lose it, you will lose it." How can I be born alone, and let Guan Zhongru (Guan Fu character) die alone? ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Dou Ying chuckled in her heart, thinking that her husband had already made the worst plan, he now has no official position, only a marquis with him, if this is also lost... Mrs. Dou Ying didn't want to continue thinking about it, she also knew that once he decided that no one could change it, all she could do was pray that God would bless them and their family to be safe and sound.
She quietly wiped her tears, cleaned up the soup bowl, turned and walked out, and gently closed the door.
Dou Ying squinted his eyes and sent away his wife's back, and there was a trace of melancholy in his heart for no reason, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, and sighed secretly, "Dou Ying, Dou Ying, you are really old, and you will even have the kindness of a woman." If you were young, you wouldn't have such concerns! ”
After the slight melancholy was fleeting, he picked up the pen and resolutely wrote the note that was already a little rusty.
There are only a few hundred words, but Dou Ying stopped writing several times, got up several times, and rewrote several times.
Dou Ying, who has been in officialdom for most of his life, knows very well in his heart that once this excerpt is handed over, it means that he has publicly broken with Tian Wei.
However, Dou Ying can't take care of it, it's okay for a confidant to die, and now he has no official or position, if things are not good, he will lose a marquis at most, and saving people will not throw away his life.
After writing the fold, Dou Ying put on his clothes, got into the carriage, and hurried to Weiyang Palace.
Liu Che in the palace was about to go to the imperial dining room to eat, but he heard the waiter come to report that Dou Ying had something to ask to see His Majesty.
Liu Che hadn't seen Dou Ying for several days, and this important minister of the first emperor had made a very deep impression on him, and he had always been respected by Liu Che.
Liu Che announced Dou Ying to the imperial dining room, and in order to show respect, he gave him a banquet.
When Dou Ying stood in front of Liu Che, Liu Che found that Dou Ying was obviously old.
Dou Ying can't remember how long it has been since he received such courtesy from the emperor, although he was moved, but he did not leave the business behind, he presented his recital, saying that the crime of drumming the husband would not lead to death, and the prime minister seemed to be suspected of communiqué personal vendetta.
The young Liu Che was much more sophisticated than before, and he did not immediately express his position.
To tell the truth, saying that his uncle is suspected of communiqué personal vendetta, he believes that after years of experience, Liu Che already has a pair of sharp eyes that know people and see people, and his uncle is that material, he knows it; said that the bushman was not enough to die, and he also believed that this person was honest and upright, and his ability to cause trouble was also first-class, even so, it was not to the point of killing and chopping.
This matter seems to be a personal dispute between his subordinates, but perhaps things are not as simple as imagined. Liu Che was not satisfied with him, the prime minister's uncle, and all kinds of signs showed that Tian Wei was more interested in fame and fortune than in state affairs, if it weren't for the queen mother behind him to help him, Liu Che would have taken off his ribbon long ago.
Liu Che thought about it while eating, and in the casual chat with Dou Ying without a word, Liu Che finally made his own decision, he asked people to pass down the word and choose the east court to argue!
Dou Ying didn't understand Liu Che's decision, didn't this make the contradiction more public? The purpose of his appearance at night was to secretly point things out, hoping that the emperor would personally intervene and let Tian Wei release the bushman himself. Once you go to the East Court to argue, things are not so simple, the Queen Mother's attitude is not easy to say, will she affect the final verdict of the Doufu?
Dou Ying was stunned for a while, he wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something, considering that he had no half of his position, it was a great favor for the emperor to personally receive the banquet, and it would be disadvantageous to him if he said too much.
Coming out of the Yang Palace, Dou Ying's intuition told him that Liu Che had his own thoughts about the matter of the grub.
However, no matter what Liu Che's purpose is, Dou Ying can at least be sure of one piece of good news, the emperor has no intention of protecting the prime minister, so he still has one thing left to do, to find out the evidence of Tian Wei's personal vendetta.
A few days later, the ministers arrived at the Changle Palace one after another with doubts.
Since Liu Che ascended the throne, in addition to the Queen Mother's birthday, festivals, there are not many large-scale court meetings held in the East Palace, and this time it is neither a festival, nor a birthday, a court meeting is held here with great fanfare, and what is even more strange is that even Dou Ying, who has not been invited by the court for many years, has appeared in the main hall, which really makes the second monk scratch his head.
"Is there something big going on?" Someone asked.
"It's impossible, recently the country and the people are safe, the world is peaceful, where is the big deal?" Someone replied.
The hall was filled with suspicion and a strange atmosphere, except for Dou Ying, everyone was unclear and uneasy.
With a shout of "Queen Mother, the emperor has arrived", the hall suddenly fell silent, Liu Che helped the Queen Mother to sit down on the right side of the throne, and then sat cross-legged himself.
Liu Che swept the hall with a sharp gaze, and suddenly looked solemn.
Liu Che's expression made the courtiers even more uneasy.
I only heard Liu Che say, "Today's court debate is for the matter of the husband!" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and Tian Wei shook his head.
He didn't understand, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of His Majesty the good nephew, wasn't the irrigator already convicted? Why argue? For such a reckless man who breaks the law like eating, why make such a big move for him!
Tian Wei doesn't understand, but there are still discerning people in the court of Nuoda.
Imperial historian Han Anguo saw through Liu Che's purpose at a glance, the emperor's dissatisfaction with the prime minister does not seem to be groundless, he deliberately put on such a big posture to invite the queen mother over, just to let her old man see his brother's virtue, and find an excuse for the future change.
Han Anguo was thoughtful, before the court battle drama began, he had already prepared his answer.
In fact, Liu Che's move is not only to let the Queen Mother see the level of the prime minister, but also to tell everyone that I will not favor anyone, even if he is my uncle! This world is my world.
In the solemnity, Tian Wei looked a little flustered, and when he saw Dou Ying, who seemed to be prepared, he suddenly understood.
