Chapter 34 5. The death of Dou Ying

After the debate, Liu Che was still angry and demoted Zheng Zhuang to the queen's steward (Zhan Shi).When Liu Che demoted Zheng Zhuang, his intention might be to ask the minister to say a few more words of justice for Dou Ying. How should I put it, before the debate, he had a drink with Dou Ying and had a heart-to-heart relationship with Dou Ying, so he had to give him a little heart.He thought that the grievances between Tian Fu and Dou Ying would be resolved by the discussion of the ministers, and even if the Queen Mother pursued the matter, he could use the ministers to block the conversation.

Well, the well-designed debate was completely messed up by Zheng Zhuang and his ilk.What made him even more depressed was that the Queen Mother also threatened him with a hunger strike.It seems that he wanted to help Dou Ying, but now he has to do the opposite to get rid of Dou Ying for Tian Fu. Liu Che had no choice but to summon Han Anguo, the doctor of imperial history, and asked him to check whether Dou Ying's revelation of Tian Fu's background at the debate was true.Han Anguo understood, as soon as he heard it, he knew what to do next. Any fool can figure out why the emperor didn't ask Han Anguo to investigate Tian Fu.Since the emperor said to check on Dou Ying, it can only be explained that he can't help Dou Ying.

The emperor has compromised, and the doctor Yushi still talks about principles.So, Han Anguo found a group of people and worked hard to find out the truth behind Dou Ying's exposure of Tian Fen. Then, he organized people to impeach Dou Ying.The matter went smoothly, and Liu Che approved eight words: The crime of bullying the king is allowed to be arrested. Dou Ying was immediately double-regulated and put in a special prison. It can only be said that the reason why Dou Ying is here today is entirely due to him.Just as his wife once advised, to rescue Guan Fu should be done according to one's ability, and don't try to save others, but put yourself in it instead.Sure enough, I took it in.Hey, what a bad person with no brains.If you can't swim, or your skills are not up to standard, then don't go into the water to save people, why ask for trouble.

After Dou Ying was imprisoned, no one official spoke for him.Ji An raised his arms and shouted for him in the East Palace, as if being swallowed by a bottomless black hole.In this situation, there are only two words that can best express Dou Ying's inner emotions: sorrow. He felt sorry for all the officials, but also for himself.He grieves for the collective aphasia of all the officials, who have all become indifferent spectators; he grieves for himself, his power has declined, and he is like being chased away. It seems that if you want to get out of this dark prison, you have to use your own tricks.

Although both are in prison, Dou Ying and Guan Fu enjoy different treatment.Guan Fu did not have the right to visit the prison, not for high-ranking officials, nor for his family members.Of course, Tian Fu was killing the Guan family in full swing, and it was too late for the Guanfu family to run away, so how could they be in the mood to visit the prison. Dou Ying is different. He went to prison by himself, and the prison still allows family members to visit him. Let's explore.Maybe Tian Fu thinks so, anyway, this old man won't live long, he is in prison, even if he has wings, he dare not fly out.

If Tian Fu really thought so, he was wrong. As everyone knows, Dou Ying has not spent so many years in vain.In his opinion, as long as you give me wings, I want to fly out.Now, Dou Ying thinks he has found a pair of wings.And this wing is hidden in his home. One day, Dou Ying took the opportunity of visiting the prison and asked his nephew to do something for him.This is not a difficult task, just ask him to give a gift from his family to Emperor Liu Che, and let him verify it with his own eyes.Then the Dou family can rest assured and wait at home for the good news of his release from prison.

These gifts from Dou Ying's family are the will.It was left to him by the late Emperor Liu Qi. There are only eight words: It is inconvenient to discuss it. The translation of these eight characters means that if you encounter a major event, you can be pardoned if you hand over this will to his successor. This is the source of Dou Ying's fearlessness before. He thought that with the will, he could give it a go.Even if Guan Fu couldn't be saved, his own life should be more than enough. However, what Dou Ying didn't expect was that there was a big problem in the edict. The big problem turned out to be that Liu Che thought the edict was fake.

The will is an important document. In order to prevent others from making fakes, under normal circumstances, the emperor always makes two copies.One original, one copy.The original is given to the person and a copy is archived for verification. The problem arises in verifying the joints.Liu Che sent someone to the archives room to get a copy of the edict, but found that there was no archive in the palace. Now the problem is big.Without archives, it cannot prove that the edict sealed in Dou Ying's home is true. If it is not true, then it is false.Falsification, that is another crime of deceiving the emperor.

It's really hard for Dou Ying not to die this time.After working on it for a long time, I found out that this is a piece of paper wings, which can't be used at all. Did Liu Qi leave a will for Dou Ying? Is this thing real or fake?In history, there are different opinions and many conjectures, but there is never a convincing result. In my opinion, the possibility of Dou Ying's fraud is extremely small.Throughout Dou Ying's life, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone a fraudulent person.On the contrary, integrity and being a hero constitute the foundation of his life, and even the whole tragedy of his life.

The reason why Dou Ying was able to stand out was because of the Queen Mother Dou.However, Dou Ying is not the kind of softie who eats people's mouths.Since his debut, he has been against Queen Mother Dou.It made Empress Dowager Dou dizzy, and she really didn't know the name of Dou Ying's father.Therefore, although Dou Ying is in prison, it is not in line with his character to make him jump over the wall to cheat others. Then, why Liu Che couldn't find a copy of the will?Could it be that Liu Che burned him? In my opinion, this possibility is extremely small.There is only one possibility that the copy of the will is missing. This is the joint masterpiece of Tian Fu and the Queen Mother.

Of course, if Tian Fu and the Queen Mother really burned the copy, it would be a terrible thing.If the matter is found out, if Tian Fu deceived Liu Che, it would be called deceiving the emperor; but if the queen mother deceived Liu Che, what would it be called?Both the Queen Mother and Liu Che may think so, that is not bullying the emperor, but bullying. That being the case, why didn't the Queen Mother dare to burn the copy? Don't forget, how did the queen mother get rich?He got to where he is today by defeating Prince Liu Rong.How did he get rid of Liu Rong?What they did was cruel and merciless. For the sake of a bright future, she can get rid of Liu Rong; for the hatred in her heart, why can't she kill Dou Ying?Hatred drives people crazy.The copy of the will can't be found, and the biggest suspect is the Queen Mother. This is the greatest tragedy of Dou Ying's life.He wanted to go back to the sunny path in a bright and legitimate way, but he didn't expect Tian Fu to play with him in the shade.It's over, the Queen Mother wants to punish him to death, even the gods can't save him. Sure enough, Dou Ying was convicted of abandoning the market soon. When the news came, Dou Ying was in pain.He thought of another trick, a hunger strike. So far, the hunger strike is the best way to preserve reputation and create and use public opinion.At that time, Tian Fu heard that Dou Ying was on hunger strike in prison, and he was very anxious.Think about it, if old man Dou really died in prison, Tian Fu would definitely be criticized by the court.If that's the case, then he is too worthless. So what to do?Tian Fu immediately thought of a good way. Soon, good news came back to the prison, and it was heard that the emperor would not kill Dou Ying.Just hearsay, but it's also a glimmer of hope.So, after hearing this, Dou Ying was filled with joy.He got up on his own initiative, ate and drank water. Well, it's good to be able to eat.Tian Fu smiled.If you want to die in prison, there is no way.Tian Fu acted secretly. 131 BC, winter, December 30th.The gate of the prison where Dou Ying was squatting was suddenly opened, and Dou Ying was escorted to Chang'an City to be executed. This is unexpected news.Before Dou Ying figured out the conspiracy, blood had already splashed on Chang'an Avenue. Tian Fu struggled for so long, and finally killed Dou Ying.However, Tian Fu's days are coming to an end.It's strange, since Dou Ying's death, Tian Fu seems to be haunted by evil spirits, has nightmares every night, and has been insane ever since.When he opened his mouth, he always mumbled his confession. What crime did he plead guilty to?The crime of killing Dou Ying. Liu Che had no choice but to ask a wizard to drive away the ghost for Tian Fu.The wizard told Liu Che that he saw Guan Fu and Dou Ying lingering, guarding Tian Fu every day, and wanted to kill the prime minister. In March, spring is here.Tian Fu's condition continued to deteriorate, and the two big evil spirits, Dou Ying and Guan Fu, could not be driven away no matter how hard they tried.Tian Fu is full of nonsense, he can no longer recognize the world.On March 17, he left the world with a sharp cry. Unjust is doomed to destruction.Sure enough, the truth.
