Liu De got up early the next morning, and first went to Changle Palace to perform a routine ritual of crying. Today was probably the last time he cried.
The day for the funeral of the Empress Dowager has been decided, it is tomorrow.
According to Empress Dowager Bo's last wish, she will be buried in the Nanling Mausoleum that has been selected long ago, facing the Changling Mausoleum where Emperor Gao Emperor and Empress Lu are buried together, and close to the Ba Mausoleum where Emperor Taizong Xiaowen is buried.
As soon as he left the mourning hall, Liu De heard the eunuchs whispering in private:
"Have you heard? There was another fight this morning!"
"It is said that Dou Ying, the Chinese doctor, was punched in the head by Chao Cuo, the internal historian, and he was bleeding profusely..."
Seeing Liu De, these eunuchs who were gossiping in private dispersed.
Liu De didn't care and just shrugged.
The courtiers of the Han Dynasty have always been famous for their ability to fight, regardless of civil or military affairs. When they get angry when arguing, it is not once or twice that they perform a full-scale martial arts show in front of the emperor.
It's just that Chao Cuo was able to defeat Dou Ying...
This had to make Liu De look at Chao Cuo with admiration.
Dou Ying is a strong man with many abilities!
He has served as a general and led troops, and in terms of combat effectiveness, there are not many people in the government who can defeat him in a single fight.
Unexpectedly, they were defeated by Chao Cuo, a civil servant who had hardly ever led an army.
But...
From this incident, we can also see how capable Chao Cuo is of seeking death.
Liu De remembered that he had heard about it in his previous life. It seemed that Yuan An was able to kill Chao Cuo in the end. Dou Ying had done a great job. Without Dou Ying's recommendation, how could Yuan An meet the emperor?
Moreover, Liu De remembered that Yuan An was just a leader and told the reason for killing Chao Cuo.
I don’t know how many people followed behind with last hits.
Like Liu She, the Taoist candidate, Tao Qing, the Kaifeng candidate...
With this move going up and down, I wonder who else Chao Cuo has not offended...
Anyway, in his previous life, after Chao Cuo died, there was no one in the court to cry out for him, and finally he had to rely on a general who had returned from the front line to speak for him.
Liu De took a few steps forward and saw Dou Ying, the protagonist of the early morning fight that the eunuchs were talking about.
At this time, Dou Ying has not changed much from his previous life. He is at least 1.75 meters tall, has a tall build, has a dignified appearance, and has a neat beard on his chin. He is indeed a rare handsome man.
only……
The piece of gauze on his forehead and the dark red blood stains on his hair made him look a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" When Dou Ying met Liu De, Dou Ying leaned forward slightly and saluted. Different from the brainless TV dramas performed on TV in later generations, the ministers of the Han Dynasty did not even meet a prince like Liu De, nor did they even meet the emperor.
He would kneel down at every turn.
Usually, the etiquette of meeting is relatively equal.
As the saying goes, ministers worship the king, and the king also worships the ministers.
So Liu De naturally bowed back to Dou Ying, bowed and asked, "How are you doing, Doctor Zhong?"
Dou Ying touched his forehead and smiled bitterly: "It's okay..."
This incident made him quite embarrassed. He was a dignified minister who had a military background and had been a general, but he was defeated by a civilian official. He couldn't lose face no matter what.
Liu De knew Dou Ying quite well, after all, they had worked together for two years in his previous life.
Knowing that Dou Ying was well-educated and would not get angry easily, he curiously asked: "Why is the doctor like this?"
"Chao Neishi insisted on appointing Yan Shu as the Luoyang Order. I felt that Yan Shu was frivolous and not qualified to be the chief official of a county, let alone the chief official of the Eastern Capital. Therefore..." Dou Ying touched his forehead and said.
"Oh..." Liu De nodded.
At the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, there were actually two capitals.
One is Chang'an and the other is Luoyang.
After thinking about it, I felt that Guanzhong is still reliable. There are natural dangers to defend and fertile soil to rely on. To put it bluntly, even if the world is in chaos, the emperor will control the four gates and one gate, no matter what the chaos outside is, at least Guanzhong can still be there.
Stay at peace.
Unlike Luoyang, which is located in a place of four battles, if something happens, the enemy may already be approaching the city without even being prepared.
Although Luoyang did not become the capital in the end, its political status in the Han Dynasty was still relatively high.
For example, in history, Liu Xiu made Luoyang the capital after reestablishing the Han Dynasty, but Chang'an did not abandon it and was called the Western Capital.
Therefore, in the political map, although the Luoyang Order is not as high as the Jiuqing, as a companion capital, the Luoyang Order has a rank of two thousand stones, and its weight is higher than that of some local county governors.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Chao Cuo became angry and took action after his proposed candidate was boycotted by Dou Ying.
But Dou Ying felt even more aggrieved.
Chao Cuo was so powerful that he was favored by the Holy Spirit. Dou Ying naturally knew this.
But he is a Chinese doctor!
It is his duty to examine officials according to the ancestral system.
No matter how awesome Chao Cuo is, he can't just hit someone if he disagrees with him, right?
Therefore, Dou Ying complained to Liu De: "I feel that Chao Neishi's character is too irritable, and he is really not like Jiu Qing!"
Liu De smiled, this Dou Ying was good at everything else, but he was too rationalistic.
In his previous life, Liu De worked with him for two years and was already aware of his problem.
It's just that in his previous life, Dou Ying had matured a lot and was able to restrain his inner impulses.
But now...
He is probably no different from Leng Touqing.
For example, some time later, at the famous family banquet in history, Empress Dowager Dou proposed that Liu Wu be the crown prince. Even the emperor did not say anything, and Dou Ying jumped out.
Dou Ying's actions not only offended Liu Wu, but also made him hate Empress Dowager Dou. Liu De heard in his previous life that Empress Dowager Dou was so angry that she didn't recognize him as his nephew!
It was also after learning that lesson that Dou Ying began to mature later.
Liu De still admires Dou Ying very much.
Such idealistic officials were so rare in the Han Dynasty, especially Dou Ying, who was born with a golden key in his hand. With his status and background, even if he bullied men and women in Chang'an every day, not many people would dare to do so.
say him.
But he just came out to do things, and he did them well.
This alone made Liu De have a good impression of Dou Ying.
Therefore, Liu De deliberately stepped forward and said: "There is no need to be angry, Mr. Zhong. Victory or defeat is a common thing for a military strategist. Just find a chance to fight back next time!"
"Well, I think so too..." Dou Ying nodded.
There is nothing to avoid. Fighting in the court is normal. Even the emperor is not surprised. As long as it is not too outrageous, he will let it go.
"Does the doctor want to leave the palace?" Liu De asked. Because the end of this road is Weiyang South Sima Gate. The so-called Sima Gate refers to a gate outside the palace. If you want to enter and exit the palace, that is the only exit. Take other
All places are prohibited.
"Yeah!" Dou Ying covered his forehead and said, "I was about to go home to recuperate..."
"I'm about to leave the palace... Why don't you and I ride in the same car?" Liu De took the opportunity to suggest that Dou Ying is a talent he has been coveting for a long time. If he can win the favor of the other party, he can even get him to join him. At the very least, he can
, Liu De can also get a high-level talent for free.
Um……
In Liu Rong's previous life, there were only two people in Liu Rong's palace who brought their own food and paid no salary.
One is Liu De and the other is Dou Ying.
Liu De wanted to invest in exchange for a stable and comfortable future.
But Dou Ying is not short of money at all!
