The Wind Rises in Chang'an Chapter 308 Dou Ying's Dilemma

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chang'an City is lined with white sails and the whole city is plain.  ¡À Cao Shi caught a glimpse of Liu Ling winking at him in the line of his eldest daughter, and snorted out of the corner of his mouth with a bad expression. He secretly cursed this little girl for being crazy. She never wanted to seduce him and didn't care about Princess Liu of Yang Nobunaga beside him.  Huan's face looked ugly.  "What a romantic gentleman!" Liu Huan snorted coldly.  "Xijun is so beautiful!" "Stop interrupting, tell me what's going on? Why did you go back to Chang'an with that woman?" Cao Shi secretly groaned that he was unlucky, and hurriedly complained: "Our family's property is not in Shaxian  The layout has been laid out for several years, and you know that there needs to be someone with the ability and means to control the situation. Otherwise, even if our Marquis of Pingyang is a powerful dragon, we will never be able to suppress the local gangsters. You have also read the information on Jiangxia County.  Liu Ling has done very well in the past few years, and it is unexpectedly good. Without her means, she would not have been able to build a large county that is not inferior to Sanhe in a few years. Think about how many counties in the world have 700,000 people.  The population will tell." Liu Huan stretched out two fingers and pinched her husband's waist. Even though he had a strong body, he couldn't help but change his color. He pouted and said, "I don't believe the gentleman's nonsense. I don't have a concubine to care.  Sooner or later, I will have a group of women around me. I don¡¯t care about these women competing for the love of my husband, but the foundation of our Pingyang Marquis Mansion cannot be divided by outsiders. You should know that the current situation is not good" Cao Shi held on  The wife's hand comforted her and said: "I know, I know all this in my heart. You have worked hard for our family for so long, and I know who did what to our family. I am thinking of a way." "Gentleman, you  I don¡¯t know. There are many people saying bad things about you behind your back, and my sister Zifu often hears them in Weiyang Palace, and every time they say it in front of the emperor, Zifu also writes down the names of those people"  Cao Shi covered Wei Junru's mouth with his backhand and shook his head gently: "Don't say it, I know it in my heart. When you go back, tell your husband to talk less in the palace. The day the Empress Dowager passed away, the Empress Chen Ajiao deposed her.  At this time, my husband is favored by the emperor, so it is best to hurry up and give birth to the crown prince. Don¡¯t worry about other things. Even if we are in danger, don¡¯t interfere at will. This is between me and the emperor.¡±  Gentleman" Liu Huan was extremely uneasy. She had never seen her husband's expression become so serious. In her impression, her husband always had a confident expression. No matter how difficult it was, he always maintained an optimistic attitude and pretended to be a little bit.  The look of someone holding the pearl of wisdom in hand is particularly interesting when paired with the youthful and immature face at that time.  After many years, my husband has become more mature.  The small fluff at the corner of his mouth turned into two well-groomed beards. The eyes that used to be as bright as a burning flame gradually transformed into a gaze as deep as the sea and as calm as an ancient well. Cao Shi became more mature, more meaningful, and more difficult to understand.  Liu Wei vaguely felt that her husband was making a difficult decision.  Something was going on that confused him, but she was unable to help her husband get through it, and she suddenly felt so useless.  The dignified princess was unable to act like this, so she secretly gritted her teeth and decided to go to her mother for an explanation.  Why should she let her husband suffer a big loss? There are thousands of heroes and generals in the Han family.  If the emperor doesn't like it, don't embarrass her husband. She doesn't care about being a general's wife, and she can be whoever likes her.  The funeral procession was as slow as a tortoise crawling.  Some people are holding the coffin and wailing like Princess Tao, some are wiping their tears like the relatives of the Dou family, and some are crying without tears like Zhang Wuhou Dou Wan, Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu, and more  People look heavy, bow their heads in thought, or feel at a loss.  "An era is over." Dou Ying lowered the car curtain and remained speechless. It was rare that he did not follow Zhu Dou to carry the coffin, but fulfilled his duties as prime minister and led the team of court officials away. The unexpected resignation of Tian Fu, his political enemy, made him  It was a precious chance to breathe. Unfortunately, the emperor's suspicion was like a dark cloud always hanging over his head, leaving him not much chance to breathe.  The emperor might remove him at some point, perhaps for a ridiculous reason, or even just remove him without any reason. He was powerless to resist and didn't know what he could resist. The Empress Dowager Dou, who once had all the power in the world,  Yi Fang is lying quietly in the coffin in front. In an hour, he will be taken to Baling to be buried with Emperor Taizong Wen, who has been dead for twenty years.  The death of the Empress Dowager represented the sharp blade that symbolized the passage of time and cut off the last chain of civilization inheritance from the early Han Dynasty. Dou Yifang was the confidant of the empress Lu Fei who was carefully cultivated. She married a young woman on behalf of the interests of the Lu family.  The Dai Wang (Emperor Wen of Han) unexpectedly completed the transformation from a chess piece to a chess player, but it is undeniable that her legendary life carried exactly the core of the civilized spirit of the founding of the Han Dynasty six or seventy years ago.  With Dou Yifang alive, many people will feel at ease.At least the young emperor has made several rounds of reforms. At least he has the confidence to do things like collapse and rebuild the old system. The death of Dou Yifang completely cut off the illusions remaining in the hearts of those people. The emperor's footsteps will not change and rely on a certain political system.  The era of strong men bringing order to chaos is over.  Dou Ying felt a little blocked in his heart. He had an indescribable feeling, as if he was disappointed and lost. He watched the Empress Dowager die silently, and watched the Emperor striding towards a direction that he could not understand.  , as if he was watching everything change, and suddenly he doubted whether he was suitable to continue to be prime minister.  "Am I old?" Dou Ying looked down at his gray beard and shook his head helplessly: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, what should I do?" Gongsun Hong opened his mouth and sighed. He wanted to persuade Wei Qihou to get out of the predicament.  However, considering that he was just a guest, if it weren't for Dong Zhongshu's reputation, he would have been kicked out long ago. It was a bit unbelievable for him to mention something to the distinguished prime minister, but he was still interested in keeping his mouth shut and driving peacefully.  Dong Zhongshu said with relief: "The Prime Minister has filtered it out. Your Majesty appreciates the new Confucianism and pays special attention to the "Gongyang Chunqiu" that I have edited and edited. When I was listening to the lecture last time, he also mentioned that he would recommend the new version of "Gongyang Chunqiu".  Go to Taixue to make professional textbooks. As long as we Confucian scholars unite and persevere, we will succeed sooner or later." Kong Wu said deeply: "What the Prime Minister is considering is not the difficulty of Confucianism. I don't know the causes and consequences of the changes in the court situation, but I feel that the current situation is.  The pattern should be directly related to a certain person. "Dong Zhongshu asked: "Former Taiwei Tian Fu?" "No, it should be Cao Shi, General Cao! I admire General Cao's talent.  Lao Xinxue was a great inspiration to me. He encouraged me to re-interpret Confucius¡¯s works. It is a waste of time and talent to study the classics and even delve into the completely partial theory of yin and yang induction. I want to invest my limited time into infinite things.  In the compilation and research of his works" Dou Ying's heart skipped a beat.  Kong Wu's analysis was correct. The current turmoil in the court situation is precisely related to Cao Shi. Border troubles in the north are gathering all the time. It is said that the golden wolf flag of the Xiongnu Great Chanyu is wandering near the border counties. They are like hungry wolves on the grassland.  Sharpen your claws before hunting, just waiting to latch onto the prey and pounce at any time to tear it into pieces.  However, the only battle reports coming from the border were the harassment of small tribes of Huns. The huge difference between the intelligence and the current situation was that the main force of the Huns was holding back, and there was only one reason that forced the Xiongnu army not to dare to invade the border. In the Battle of Yanmen, Shanyu's cavalry general was defeated.  Cao Shi.  Trends compiled from various sources of intelligence show that the Xiongnu Chanyu is hesitant. He is unsure about the risk of invading south. It is not clear whether what lies ahead of him is the next siege of Mayi, or whether there will be another desperate counterattack and a huge defeat.  Lose, not to mention that the Huns' willingness to invade southward is not strong. From last year's defeat in the Battle of Yanmen to the loss of the Hetao Plain in the Battle of Yinshan, it stands to reason that it will take at least two or three years to recuperate.  Furthermore, since the autumn of last year, the injured Huns did not stop to rest and rest in peace. Instead, they dragged the seriously injured main force around the Xianbei and Wuhuan people who were even worse and pursued and beat them fiercely. The Huns gritted their teeth with rare determination.  They persisted until the ice and snow in winter and refused to let go, forcing the Xianbei and Wuhuan people to have no chance to save food. In a war where the two sides competed to see who died earlier, the Huns became the victors.  This series of actions reflects that in fact, the Huns have no plan to invade the Han Dynasty in the south. Defeating the Xianbei and Wuhuan people will require at least two or three years of cultivation. During this period, the underage children will gradually mature, and the young couples can continue to  They need two children to make up for the lost population and replenish the lost cattle and sheep. Only then will they consider invading the south to retaliate against the Han people.  But then the situation suddenly reversed. Even the Huns did not expect that something happened suddenly. The Han emperor ignored the good situation and ignored the excellent Han army commanders. He actually appointed an unknown general and four nepotisms.  The sycophants went north to attack the Xiongnu, trying to use these five trash to eat the Xiongnu in one bite to complete the fatal blow to harvest the fruits of victory.  But the Han emperor underestimated the power of the Xiongnu, and he paid a heavy price for his contempt and arrogance. They were completely destroyed, collapsed, defeated, and stalled all the way. Only one of them hid in the desert and became a despicable jackal who stole other people's prey.  In the crusade message sent by the Xiongnu Chanyu, the tone became arrogant and domineering again. Perhaps the Xiongnu Chanyu also felt that the Han emperor was an incompetent person with great ambitions and few talents.  Dou Ying knew that was not the case.  The emperor has great ambitions but is also down-to-earth. Although in recent years, his tendency to act dictatorially has become stronger and stronger, but overall he is not so bad that he will not listen to advice. The difficulty is to untie the knot in the emperor's heart and persuade the emperor to return to his original position.  Enable cavalry general Cao Shi as the main general.?As long as Cao Shi is in charge, the Xiongnu Chanyu will never dare to invade the border.  Dou Ying murmured to himself: "But how should I convince His Majesty?"
