The first thousand five hundred and ninety-ninth chapter is pure Dou Ying
"Chao Yingchuan might become the prime minister..."
Dou Ying played with an exquisite wine bottle in his hand and sighed while facing his confidant Guan Fu.
"Your Majesty, you can't sit back and wait for death!" Guan Fu said nervously: "Back then, Your Majesty and Chao Yingchuan had enemies many times. If Chao Yingchuan really becomes the prime minister this time, if Yan Jia is unlucky in the East Palace, I will be afraid of Your Majesty..."
"Don't I know?" Dou Ying sighed and shook his head: "Chao Cuo is a man who cuts straight and deep, and will always retaliate..." Speaking of this, Dou Ying remembered the time when he was a doctor in the middle school, and the time when he was a doctor.
The grievances between Shi and Chao Cuo during his tenure.
The two of them have never been on the same page!
In particular, Dou Ying and Yuan An had a close relationship. For this reason alone, Chao Cuo never gave him a good look.
The two even had an argument in front of you and had a fight!
What's even more sad is...
He, Dou Ying, a scholar-bureaucrat with a background as a military general, was pinned to the ground by Chao Cuo, a civil servant, and beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen...
What a shame...
Nowadays, there are rumors that Chao Cuo is about to ascend to the throne and become the prime minister.
When Dou Ying heard the news, he stopped drinking and immediately summoned his advisers and guests to discuss the matter.
However... what Dou Ying didn't expect was that most of the advisers and diners who used to surround him and spend the night with him disappeared in the blink of an eye after hearing the news that Chao Cuo was going to be the prime minister...
Up to now, the only people who are still with him are Guan Fu and a few others.
Everyone else has already made the birds and beasts disperse.
No one dared to stay with him, Chao Cuo's enemy, and everyone was afraid of being implicated and implicated by Dou Ying.
The world is cold and cold, and human relationships are cold and warm.
It made Dou Ying extremely sad and filled with melancholy.
In his life, the person he most admired and yearned for was the legendary life of Lord Mengchang.
But the reality told him that now is no longer the era of Lord Mengchang, and there are no conditions for Lord Mengchang to exist anymore.
He, Dou Ying, is just Dou Ying, and will never become Lord Mengchang.
Guan Fu beside him was as frightened as a bird.
He knew very well what he was carrying?
At that time, the emperor was so angry that he almost died. Thanks to Dou Ying's intervention and pleading, he was able to save his life.
However, he and his family have already been recorded in Tingwei's little notebook, and they can settle accounts with him at any time.
Once Chao Cuo comes to power, then...
You know with your buttocks that Chao Cuo will definitely use him as a breakthrough point and as a weapon to deal with Dou Ying.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go into the palace now to ask for an audience with the Empress Dowager..." Guan Fu lowered his head and gave his final persuasion: "Now, the only way to stop Chao Cuo from becoming prime minister is to ask the Empress Dowager to take action!"
Although the Empress Dowager Dou had lived in the east wing of Yongshou Palace in the East Palace for more than three years, she basically no longer managed politics and had little power.
However, the Empress Dowager is still the Empress Dowager.
As long as she is willing to take action and wants to take action, Chao Cuo can easily press it.
It is unlikely that the emperor would have a conflict with his grandmother on this issue.
Dou Ying shook his head, looked at Guan Fu, and said to him, "No, this is the way to die!"
Although Dou Ying values loyalty and affection, he is still somewhat politically sensitive after having held a high position for a long time.
He knew very well that if he did this, no matter success or failure, he, Dou Ying, would be a GG to the emperor.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager has long since stopped participating in politics.
The elders also warned him again and again - don't bother the Empress Dowager with anything.
Undoubtedly, this is a smart approach.
Otherwise, the Dou family will surely fall into destruction on the day of the death of the Empress Dowager!
"Then you go and pay homage to Marquis Zhang Wu, and ask Marquis Zhang Wu to go see the Emperor and explain the key reason why Dou Ying cannot become prime minister..." Guan Fu said without giving up.
Dou Guangguo, Marquis of Zhangwu, is now the head of Taixue Mountain and the most respected and revered veteran of the court by the emperor.
If he came forward, the emperor would probably consider it.
At least, they will respect Dou Guangguo's attitude and let Chao Cuo and Fa Jia know how powerful Dou is.
"Your Excellency has sent someone to tell me a long time ago..." Dou Ying said dejectedly: "On the matter of Chao Cuo, please keep me quiet..."
"This..." Guan Fu was suddenly confused. He couldn't figure it out clearly. When did Zhang Wuhou Dou Guangguo side with Chao Cuo?
Logically speaking, shouldn't an old-school figure like Zhang Wuhou dislike Chao Cuo?
At that time, when Chao Cuo cut down the feudal vassals and caused the Wu-Chu Rebellion, the old man privately blamed Dou Ying many times, saying that he had "unprepared his plans and brought the country to such an end." He even said that he "lost himself in the face of danger and put the country in danger."
During this period, the country suffered from civil strife'.
Almost completely denying all Chao Cuo's performance and actions during the Wu-Chu Rebellion, it almost failed to regard him as the culprit.
But when did this old man who disliked Chao Cuo start speaking for him?
While he was sighing, a servant suddenly ran in in a hurry and said with great surprise: "Your Majesty, Chao Gong, the royal censor of the current dynasty, is here to visit..."
When Dou Ying heard this, the expression on his face went through extremely complex changes at that moment.
First there was shock, eyebrows furrowed, then suspicion, eyes turning several times in a short period of time, and finally surprise.
The next moment, Dou Ying had already stood up. He didn't even wear wooden clogs, his face was flushed, and he ordered the servant: "Quickly, open the middle door, I want to greet Mr. Chao..."
A moment ago, Dou Ying was still lamenting the warmth and coldness of human relationships, the harshness of the world, and lamenting the absence of Lord Mengchang.
Now, he has made the same choice as his diners.
And this is exactly the reality.
The world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be.
………………………………
After a while, the central door of Wei Qihou's residence opened wide. Dou Ying personally led his entire family and servants to stand at the gate respectfully. He bowed to Chao Cuo who got off the carriage and said, "Chao Cuo."
Fortunately, I came to my humble abode, and suddenly I felt the brilliance of the wildflower..."
Even Guan Fu stood behind Dou Ying, looking up at the then imperial censor and bowing.
When Chao Cuo saw Dou Ying, he immediately smiled, stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Brother Wangsun is too polite... Wrong, I came to see Brother Wangsun today because I have something to ask Wangsun. Why is Wangsun so important?"
present?"
But in his heart, the past events about Dou Ying kept flashing through his mind.
At the beginning, Dou Ying was a close friend of that bastard Yuan Si. If it weren't for this Dou Ying, Prince Dou, Yuan An wouldn't be able to get up at all back then!
only……
In the face of the prime minister's power, these old grudges are nothing more than minor issues.
Chao Cuo, of course, knew very well how many people he had offended in the past?
How many people are worried and tossing and turning because they are about to take office as prime minister?
At this time, as the quasi-prime minister, he must tell the world that he is wrong, and the prime minister can support the boat.
Whatever entanglements there are, you can ignore them and just turn the page!
Besides, this Dou Ying is not simple.
He was a former upstart of the Dou family. He was once as high as a general and held a large number of soldiers! He also had a past with the emperor. Not to mention, he was able to make the emperor pause his thunderous anger and save lives from this king's sword.
The mere fact that the husband's life was restored was enough to raise eyebrows.
Because, since the emperor came to the throne, no one he wanted to kill has ever been able to survive.
This Guanfu is the only exception.
Not only did he survive, he also saved most of his wealth and family.
This is extremely precious.
Unfortunately, Dou Ying was in the middle of the game and couldn't see this.
In fact, Chao Cuo saw it very clearly.
Today, I hate my cousin so much that I hate iron.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as this Dou Ying is willing to go to Weiyang Palace to plead guilty and swear to change his past mistakes.
Then, sooner or later, he can return to the center of the stage of the Han Empire and become an important minister of the empire.
It's just that he himself didn't realize this at all, and he didn't know this either.
Instead, he thought the emperor was ungrateful, so he drowned his sorrows in wine every day.
Thinking of this, Chao Cuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The lives of these people are really incomparable.
When Dou Ying saw Chao Cuo's attitude, his heart blossomed with joy. When the late emperor was in power, he once commented on Dou Ying: Wei Qi is self-satisfied, and it is difficult to be cautious.
Now, after experiencing a series of setbacks, Dou Ying has not changed much.
Still the same Wei Qihou Dou Ying.
"Chao Gong, please come in for a while..." Dou Ying smiled and bowed: "I will immediately order someone to prepare Yingsichuan cuisine..."
Chao Cuo smiled and bowed back: "Brother Wangsun is so polite..." As if he and Dou Ying had been friends for many years, he stepped forward and said, "There are still many things to trouble Brother Wangsun during this time..."
Dou Ying's heart was filled with joy, and he nodded hurriedly and said: "If Mr. Chao has something to do, please tell me that I will take care of it for Mr. Chao..."
For Dou Ying, Chao Cuo's visit was equivalent to opening a window of hope for him.
The next prime minister deigned to condescend and pay a special visit, which was tantamount to telling others that Chao Cuo wanted to rely on him or even reuse him.
And he can finally return to the center of the power stage.
This is extremely precious for a nobleman whose ideals were shattered by Lord Mengchang.
On that day, the entire city of Chang'an knew that Chao Cuo visited Dou Ying. The two had a very happy conversation, drank and talked until late at night, and finally fell asleep.
Countless people were stunned by this news.
Chao Cuo and Dou Ying, these two original political enemies, actually shook hands and made peace? And they seemed like close friends.
Many people can't believe their ears.
And many other people who were originally hostile to Chao Cuo actually lost a lot of their hostility because of this.
The reason is very simple - who is Dou Ying? Yuan Ang and Yuan Si's old friend, even his brother.
Chao Cuo can reconcile with even Dou Ying and is willing to win over him. He should also have the opportunity to integrate into Chao Cuo's circle.
For politicians, changing families is more skillful than the face-changing actors in Sichuan Opera.
For a time, whale oil lamps were always burning in countless mansions, and countless people stayed up all night thinking about their future.
When Liu Che learned about this, he chuckled, put down the official document in his hand, and said with a smile: "Wei Qihou is going to be tricked again..."
Liu Che remembered very clearly that in his previous life, Tian Fu had used similar methods to trick Dou Ying.
In the end, Dou Ying was even allowed to bear most of the responsibility for the failure of the Jianyuan New Deal, and Dou Ying was allowed to take the blame.
Today, Chao Cuo's methods are probably the same.
Use one Dou Ying to kill several birds with one stone.
I have to admit that this future prime minister still has some skills.
However, this is just the beginning.
Chao Cuo will soon discover how difficult it is to be a prime minister, especially in today's Han Empire, and how hard it is to do a prime minister's job well!
But Dou Ying...
"My cousin..." Liu Che shook his head, stood up, and told a young eunuch beside him: "Send someone to tell Marquis Zhang Wu: Wei Qihou has been idle at home for a long time, so he should come out to do some work.
, It just so happens that King Zhi of Jinan lacks a tutor, so let Wei Qihou go to Jinan to assist my imperial brother..."
Wei Qihou Dou Ying was like a child who had not grown up politically.
He has a righteous and affectionate personality and thinks that if he treats others with all his heart, others will do the same to him.
He is like this whether in his past life or in this life.
Such a character, in today's political arena of the Han family, is not skinned and cramped. It can only be said that he was lucky and was born in the Dou family.
Now, Chao Cuo jumped out, obviously to win over Dou Ying and let Dou Ying charge into the battle for him.
With Dou Ying's character, nine times out of ten, he would think that Chao Cuo really had nothing to say to him, so he would try his best to help Chao Cuo.
What were Chao Cuo’s thoughts and decisions? Liu Che didn’t know.
But one thing is for sure, this guy is not a kind person.
Back then, his game with Shen Tujia and his conspiracy with Yuan Ang were enough to show that the imperial censor and future prime minister was not a fool at all.
He is a minister who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
If Dou Ying fell into his hands, would his body still be intact?
Therefore, it should be a good idea to let Dou Ying leave the capital and go to Jinan to assist Liu She.
In this aspect, Dou Ying can be allowed to supervise and monitor Liu She and her children, mainly the Wang sisters, so that they can dye the head of the late emperor with the color of the grassland in Qilu.
On the other hand, it was to protect Dou Ying from being sold by someone again and having to count the money to him.
"Send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion again to see if my general protecting the Huns has arrived at Dragon City?" Liu Che then ordered.
It’s New Year soon, and it’s time to snow outside the Great Wall.
If Zhidu has not arrived at Longcheng yet, I am afraid that there will be no progress in Munan affairs next winter, and the results will have to wait until spring.
Liu Che was not happy.
Time is very tight for the Han Dynasty.
The time it takes to deal with various ministries in Makunan without any pressure or external intervention is only one year at most.
A year later, the Northern Xiongnu's Western Expedition ended. If there were no accidents, they would probably have brought back a large number of slaves and wealth.
With slaves and wealth, the Northern Xiongnu had the confidence to intervene and intervene in the affairs of Munan.
It's not possible to send troops, but it is perfectly fine to cause chaos and create problems in Munan.
