Fortunately, the target of Dou Wu's big move was not the little fat man who was so afraid of it.
The regular servants in the palace were frightened. After the cold-blooded attack by the little fat man, they had realized their weakest point. They had no military power in their hands. They had Su Wei as their only soldiers before, but these Su Wei
They have been confiscated by the little fat man, and Yu Lin outside the palace has also been taken under Dou Wu's command. At this moment, they are so helpless.
They first sought help from the little fat man. They had created the little fat man with their own plans. How could they help these eunuchs who no longer had much value? They were not their confidants, they just gave them suggestions and asked them to seek help.
Empress Dowager Dou's help.
"Woo~~"
"Queen Mother~~~"
"Help me, just wait~~~"
In mid-March, many eunuchs, including Hou Lan and Zhang Rang, knelt down and cried outside Houde Palace. In this era when kneeling was not popular, this was the greatest etiquette. A total of nine regular attendants came.
Crying, these people acted out of plan. Originally, they wanted to bring Song Dian and the eunuchs from the imperial party to come, but Song Dian and the others were not afraid of Dou Wu's threat at all. In their opinion, the little fat man could take good care of him.
them.
Therefore, only these eunuchs from Emperor Xiaoheng's faction are crying here.
Empress Dowager Dou originally did not want to get involved in the fight between Dou Wu and the eunuchs, but after hearing the eunuchs crying, she felt some pity in her heart, so she called them over. This made the Zhongchang servants very happy. Empress Dowager Dou could not protect them.
It is one thing, but whether they can enter the Hall of Hou De is another matter. As long as they go in, they will be able to be virtuous no matter what they say after they get out.
When he met Empress Dowager Dou, Hou Lan burst into tears and shouted: "I hope the Empress Dowager can save our lives. We have served Emperor Xiaoheng for many years, and it is the state's order to deal with the general. Why should we die for our crime?"
All the ministers were also good at acting, and they started crying one after another, as if they were going to die when they left the palace. Everyone burst into tears, and Empress Dowager Dou was also a little angry.
"Why are you crying? The emperor has already rejected General Dou's request, so you have nothing to worry about."
"The Queen Mother ordered her younger brother Shao to move to the infantry school captain and take charge of the first army of the Northern Army. Lingdi Jing was appointed as the servant, and supervised the first Zuoqi Army of Yu Lin. Her nephew Shu was moved to the water school captain to take charge of the first army of the Northern Army. There are also
Feng Shu, a close confidant of the general, is appointed as the commander of the cavalry school and is in charge of the entire Northern Army!"
"With such power, I'm afraid the country won't be able to save us!"
Dou Wu had arranged a lot of arrangements for the Dou family's children and cronies a few days ago. Queen Mother Dou was aware of these things, but she did not expect that her father would arrange these people in such fatal positions. He would control the three armies of the Northern Army and the fifth.
, coupled with Yu Lin's mount and the city gate captain, Empress Dowager Dou suddenly felt a little scared. If Dou Wu launched an attack at this moment, who could resist?
Empress Dowager Dou shook her head. She still couldn't believe that her father, who had taught her to be loyal since childhood, could have such a heart as Liang Ji. She frowned and said with some displeasure: "Why didn't the Chancellor's Office report these matters?
Sue me?" Zhang Rang suddenly said: "Shang Shuling Yin Xun is a close confidant of the general." After hearing this, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't sit still.
The general is called the military commander of the Han Dynasty. It is not unreasonable to place cronies in the army. However, he also needs to control the crucial position of the Chancellor. What is he going to do? Empress Dowager Dou feels that she can no longer sit down like this.
Well, the empire left by Emperor Xiaoheng cannot be destroyed in the hands of the Dou family. If so, how can she face Emperor Xiaoheng a hundred years later?
Empress Dowager Dou was upset and kicked the eunuchs out, and immediately sent Xiao Huangmen to see the general. They came to see him, but Xiao Huangmen suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly, but refused to go. When she met the general, because the general had said that he wanted to kill the evil eunuchs in the palace, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back once he left. Empress Dowager Dou felt frightened, so she sent her maid to go.
Dou Wu was busy convicting Minister Zhongchang, so how could he have time to go see the Queen Mother?
The palace maid returned without success. Now, Empress Dowager Dou could no longer sit still. She immediately pretended to be the emperor and issued an edict and held a court meeting.
The little fat man was having a good chat with He Xiu and Xing Ziang in the Houde Hall. Suddenly, a group of small yellow gates came in and rushed into the hall. There were dozens of guards around them. They directly took down the small yellow gates and pushed them to the ground. Men then shouted breathlessly: "Empress Dowager Dou invites the country to come to court for discussion!" The little fat man was a little confused and looked up at He Xiu. He Xiu and Xing Zi'ang were both thinking about something.
"I'm afraid that what Dou Wu did has aroused the fear of the Queen Mother. It turns out that Dou Wu is also a sincere gentleman. This move is just to eradicate eunuchs, but it makes the father and daughter at odds, which is a great harm to human relations..." He Xiu Still facing Dou Wu, he shook his head and said, since the last time Dou Wu forced the palace, he had blamed the little fat man many times. If he had agreed at that time and directly got rid of the eunuchs in the palace, wouldn't there be no disaster today?
In response, the little fat man just smiled and said nothing.
On the contrary, both Xing Ziang and Han An had complaints against Dou Wu, especially Xing Ziang. He repeatedly compared Dou Wu with the domineering general Liang Ji, which made He Xiu furious. After cleaning him up a few times, he learned his lesson, at least he no longer abused Dou Wu in front of He Xiu, but in private, he was extremely dissatisfied with Dou Wu.
Han An is a timid guy, and he has no political sense. He just feels that Dou Wu forced the emperor, and such a minister cannot be regarded as a loyal minister. However, he only secretly said this to Xing Ziang, and the rest of the time , he remained silent and followed closely behind the little fat man. Who didn't know, he thought he was some skilled fighter who was protecting the emperor personally.
The little fat man didn't even change his clothes and went straight to the little yellow gate. He Xiu suddenly asked to go with him. The little fat man didn't refuse. As the emperor's master, He Xiu had a special status in the temple, especially under Ma Rongshen. After his death, he vaguely became a leading figure in Confucian classics. Unfortunately, he specialized in Gongyang. If he had studied other classics, his reputation would have been even greater at this moment.
When they arrived at the court meeting, they saw Queen Mother Dou's flushed face.
The little fat man saluted the Empress Dowager Dou respectfully, and then saluted the ministers, and then sat down. The Empress Dowager Dou's expression was still very bad, and it did not improve in any way because of the little fat man's arrival.
"Your Majesty, the Chief Minister has been in trouble and committed unpardonable crimes, which have long made the sky angry and resentful. But recently, the old palace in Chang'an collapsed, the ground cracked for tens of feet, and flying fish came out of the well in Mo County, Beihai. All kinds of things here are due to traitors and the court!" Dou What Wu said was so eloquent that even the little fat man couldn't help but nod his head, couldn't he? You forced me to threaten me twice, which shows that the sky is correct, and there is definitely a traitor in the court.
Dou Wu once again proposed to kill Zhong Changshi.
The little fat man looked around him. Yin Xun, the minister, who was holding a jade seal and writing an edict, was standing not far from Dou Wu. He lowered his head and said nothing. The little fat man fell silent without saying a word. Dou Wu's behavior also attracted many ministers. They were dissatisfied, but because Dou Wu was so famous, they had no qualifications or rights to scold him, so they never spoke when they saw the little fat man.
Dou Wu simply ignored him and turned to look at Yin Xun.
Yin Xun directly held the edict and recited loudly: "The emperor's edict says: Zhongchang Shi Guanba Sukang, instigates the clan to commit crimes and commits treason. He will be arrested and executed immediately, and his entire family will be executed. His finances will be collected to support the oppressed people.
Zhongchang served Hou Lan, deceived the emperor, and ordered the imperial guards to arrest him. Zhongchang served Zhang Rang, deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates, and the viciousness continued, and ordered the imperial guards to arrest him..."
"Zhonghuangmen's many servants shot Song Dian, deceived the new king, alienated the king and his ministers, and ordered the imperial guards to arrest him!!"
