【Part 54】Chang Meng's blood case finally revealed
Dou Jue was shocked, and then he realized that he had been trapped and imprisoned Dou Xunen, who should have returned to the capital safely, bringing him to danger.
The ones who were most implicated by Dou Xunen and the new policy of the Five Kings were Deng and Fu.
Fu Bo summoned a large number of masters from the world and wanted to kill them in the eastern suburbs, while the chariots and horses of the Deng family and King Huai were firmly surrounding the entire eastern suburbs, not giving anyone the opportunity to save Dou Xunen and others.
The father of the Shuangsha Gang, the father of Young Master Hengye, did not know who Dou Xunen was, but was just ordered to act and lead the younger brothers in the gang to besiege Dou.
Dou Xunen went into battle to fight, and the tide of martial arts masters beat him up to his body and were covered with bruises. Dou Jue was also seriously injured. The two broke through the siege and escaped from the eastern suburbs, but they happened to be intercepted by Ning Zheng's men.
In order to save Dou Jue, Dou Xunen asked the remaining three guards of Dou family to tie Dou Jue up and hide in the eastern suburbs. He led Ning Zheng's men away alone.
The young man in white, with beautiful eyebrows and talent, left Dongshan, was covered in blood and mud. He also promised that he would return.
But when he stepped out of the East Mountain alone, Dou Jue knew that Cen Sheng, whom he loved the most in his life, would never come back.
Dou Xunen died of arrows piercing his heart, and his death was tragic.
The remaining three guards of the Dou family knocked Dou Jue unconscious and secretly sent him out of the eastern suburbs. On the road, Ning Zheng's people discovered that the four of them fell from the slope and almost fell half-dead. Dou Jue was even more unfortunately hit by a huge rock in the back of his head.
Dou Jue didn't remember how long he had been lying in the mountains and forests. He only knew that when he woke up, he was already lying in the bedroom of the old Dou family in Chang'an, with Dou Xunchen and Dou Xunfen serving.
At that time, he couldn't move all over and wanted to struggle to get up from the bed, but found that his legs were already unconscious.
His eyes were empty and he opened his mouth to ask Dou Xunen about Dou Xunen's situation. But he couldn't even spit out a complete sentence.
Dou Xunfen and Dou Xunchen were dressed in white clothes and looked silent.
Dou Jue then felt convinced of his thoughts, and was heartbroken and full of guilt.
Ning Zheng did not silence him, but knew that he would keep his mouth shut for the secrets of the entire Dou family.
In fact, he did.
Dou Xunen died at the hands of bandits in Dongcheng, a suburb of Beijing.
At that time, it was rumored that when King Ning Zheng of Huai led his troops there, he had already seen Dou Xunen fall to the ground and die, and his death was tragic and ruthless, which was shocking. Ning Zheng knelt on the ground, cried and cried, and couldn't suppress himself.
When Emperor Ming heard the news, Long Yan was furious and sent someone to Dongcheng, the suburbs of Beijing. Seeing the tragic sign of blood flowing into a river, he fainted on the spot.
After that, King Ning of Huai went in and out in plain clothes, and even set up incense positions to pay homage to Dou Xunen in various places in the city to worship his friends. He was praised and sought after by many people in the capital who did not know the truth.
The Huai Prince's Mansion was in a pride, but Dou's family moved out of the capital because of the disappearance of the head of the family Dou Jue and returned to the old house of Dou Mansion in Chang'an.
Even Dou Xunfen and Dou Xunchen resigned from their official positions and returned home to rest.
In Luoyang City, the battle between the Dou family and the prince, which had lasted for seven years, gradually stopped and there was no more trouble.
When Dou Jue recovered day by day and was able to walk outside the house in a wooden wheelchair, he learned from Dou Xunfen that Cao Xiu, who was in the Huai Palace, was murdered by the Queen of Huai, and was insulted by the thieves who blatantly broke into the palace, and that he had epilepsy disputes, became crazy, and never woke up again.
Dou Jue never expected that the Huai Wang and his wife were so miserable. After several days of recuperation, Dou Jue realized that the bandits he encountered on his way back to Beijing from Youzhou were not the ones sent by Emperor Ming. He was clearly the confidant of Emperor Ming who was pretending to be the dead soldiers of the Huai Wang Mansion.
What was hateful was that he was thinking about Dou at that time, but he had never seen such a shallow plan. He thought that Emperor Ming was really going to be so heartless, and wanted to get rid of the entire Dou family for Dou Xun's sake.
Now this result is all caused by him.
If he had been wholeheartedly assisting Dou Xunen and helping the five kings seize the throne, perhaps nothing would have become like this.
So, when Dou Taijun came to question Dou Jue, he silently said, accusing himself of the fact that Ning Zheng, Deng and Fu killed Dou Xunen.
He looked at Dou Yueshan, who was still young in the grade, and he felt even more complicated.
Dou Taijun sent Dou Yueshan to a village outside Chang'an City, privately entrusted two cases where Cao Xiu was humiliated on the day that Dou Xun died outside the eastern suburbs into the case book, posted a memorial, and prepared to hand it over to Emperor Ming, suing Ning Zheng for the murder of loyal ministers, and deliberately condoned the internal struggle of his family, which caused Cao Xiu, the sister of the King of Punishment, to be humiliated to this point.
Dou Jue stopped the post.
Dou Taijun was furious and scolded him for being ungrateful and ungrateful.
Dou Jue said, "If this memorial was submitted to Emperor Ming, the King of Huai would not admit it. Since he was prepared, he would also be a premeditated to kill the grace. He would definitely find out any possibility that would happen later. Ning Zheng was cunning and refused to admit it. Emperor Ming could not find evidence, and it would be even more difficult to convict him.
Although the Dou clan can hold on to these until evidence is found, Cao Xiu is still in the Huai Palace, and Zhao Yuan is also there. If the Huai King discovered Zhao Yuan's life experience due to our excessive investigation, it is probably going to put his mother and son in danger."
When Dou Taijun thought about it carefully, his anger gradually suppressed.
Now, Dou Xunen is no longer alive. All they can do is to protect the Cao family and Zhaoyuan who are far away in the Huai Palace, and Dou Yueshan who are in the Dou Palace.
The truth of this matter has remained silent and there is no possibility of being reversed and re-investigated.
Jiang Chengjia carefully read Master Lu's letters and felt shocked.
What happened back then was Master Lu who Dou Jue told him personally.
Lu Yu was Dou Xunen's best friend. The two met each other in poetry and had similar interests.
Dou Xunen is known as the number one talented man in Chang'an by the world, and Lu Yu's talent is also famous for Luoyang, and he is known as the number one talented man in the capital.
The two talented men have similar temperaments and have like-minded ideas about the governance of the world. Therefore, when Dou Xunen was centralized in the capital, Lu Yu was one of the sons of the aristocratic family who stood behind him and strongly supported him.
When he learned the truth about Dou Xunen's tragic death in the eastern suburbs, he was very angry, but due to the safety of the twins left by Cao Xiu and Dou Xunen, he was unable to hand over the memorial full of Ning Zheng's crimes to Emperor Ming.
Over time, the rumors that Lu Yu learned the truth about Dou Sanlang's tragic death in the East Suburbs fell into Ning Zheng's ears.
It is precisely because of this that the late 2nd year of Yangjia that King Huai once again joined forces with the Deng family to create a blood-stained Luoyang City and implicated hundreds of Chang Mengjun rebellion cases.
During the Jianguang period, Emperor Ming was seriously ill and ordered the prince Ning Xiu to supervise the country, and appointed Lu Sheng, Lu Yu, Murong Xiao and Yue Qi as the ministers to assist the prince in supervising the country.
But Ning Xiu was really mediocre and talentless. When Dou Xunen was hostile to him, he could still make decisions. Peng Duo, the recruiting scholar, was willing to deal with the government. Since Dou Xunen's death, Emperor Ming was heartbroken and often lay in bed. He gradually ignored the government affairs. The responsibility of the state was on the shoulders of the prince. Ning Xiu's incompetent posture gradually revealed. This man was greedy for beauty and was bewitched by Qi Li, the sister of the prince's concubine, the prince's concubine, and abandoned the government affairs and had fun everywhere. The power to manage the government was handed over to the hands of the four auxiliary ministers.
Lu, Lu, Murong, and Yue were all ministers of the humerus chosen by Emperor Ming for Dou Xunen.
The four heads of the family were all honest and honest, and had a very good relationship with the deceased Dou Xunen. Seeing that the power of the government fell into the hands of the four of them, Ning Zheng, who had always been afraid of Dou Xunen's one party, was naturally unwilling to accept it, especially fearing that the four people would find out about the matter that year and let Emperor Ming know.
It was at this moment that Lu Yu was dissatisfied with the prince's disregard for the government and was only concerned about fun and was extremely stupid. He wrote a memorial to impeach the concubine Qi Li who was so stupid.
Qi Li was frightened and dissatisfied. Fortunately, the prince did not like Lu Yu and others, and was even more reluctant to listen to their honest advice, so he was spared.
However, the court imposed a lot of memorials on impeachment of concubines, and as they were about to make trouble in front of Emperor Ming, Qi Li became even more frightened and persuaded the prince to go to court to govern the government, which made Ning Xiu furious.
Taking this opportunity, Ning Zheng immediately wrote a letter of worship and handed it to the East Palace, met with the concubine, and persuaded her to call her brother, Qi Yao, who was far away in Guangping, into the capital to stay in the capital, so as not to be isolated and helpless.
For the sake of her future and peace, Qi Li believed Ning Zheng's words and sent a letter to her brother far away in Guangping.
Two months later, the Marquis of Guangping followed the imperial edict to enter the capital and was scheduled to be held in Luoyang.
At that time, in the capital, King Huai and Marquis of Zhongshan were extremely powerful. Qi Yao had a good relationship with Marquis of Zhongshan and King Huai, and the three of them colluded with each other and soon stood firm in the chaos of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Ning Zheng also persuaded Ning Xiu to appoint four sons, including the Marquis of Dongguan, Marquis of Xiangyang, Marquis of Wei Xing, Marquis of Shihou, who are close friends with Marquis of Guangping and Marquis of Zhongshan, to prevent Lu Yu and others from taking charge of the government affairs, and to prevent them from taking charge of the government.
Lu Yu and four other ministers were too upright, and they were also the confidant of Dou Xunen and the reform of the new policy of the Five Kings. They were very excluded in the Great Wei Dynasty, which was full of children of aristocratic families, and could not stop the relatives of Guangping and other foreign relatives from controlling the government. They watched the Five Kings stir up trouble in the court, occupying the land of the people everywhere, and accepting bribes.
During the year, floods, droughts and other disasters occurred in various parts of the Great Wei Dynasty. However, under the protection of the prince's concubine and the queen, the five marquis privately embezzled the treasury money and silver to buy Zhuangba's fields, and did everything wrong, resulting in the treasury continued to be empty and unable to move money to support food and grass in places with severe disasters.
In order to prevent foreign relatives from continuing to interfere in politics, Lu Yu and others continued to collect evidence of the crimes of the Five Marquis and wanted to submit them to Emperor Ming. However, Ning Zheng stood by Emperor Ming on the grounds of accompanying him, and then joined forces with Deng and Fu to block all the memorials of the four ministers who were auxiliary to the government, so that the four of them could not accuse the Five Marquis of the crimes.
Emperor Ming did not abolish Ning Xiu's position as crown prince after his death. He neither chose Ning Zheng nor wanted to support Ning Mi ascend the throne.
He vaguely knew what Ning Zheng had done in private over the years, and also knew that Ning Mi was not as righteous as it seemed.
He did not want the cruel and incompetent Ning Xiu to ascend the throne, but among his many royal grandsons, only Ning Xiu's eldest son Ning Nanquan was outstanding since childhood, and had talent in governance and virtue in the king.
Even though the only heir in Emperor Ming's heart was no longer alive, he still had to consider the future of the Great Wei.
