Chapter 473

The Dou family was filled with guests, and they were filled with wine and were very lively.

Although Dou Ying returned to the court, although he was just a junior doctor and his official position was not as good as Han Yan, he brought hope to many people. In their opinion, Dou Ying was valued by the emperor and would sooner or later become the third minister. This is a great time to rely on.

As a result, the guests flocked to Chang'an, not only did the newly arrived in Chang'an come to recommend themselves, but also many people who left because Dou Ying lost power came back. Every day, people talked loudly, either recited their own poems, or guided the country and offered suggestions.

Dou Ying was not at all happy, but was very angry. Such grand occasions were common back then, but when he was unemployed, none of these people could see them. The so-called friendship was just like this. The so-called loyalty was just a lie.

According to Dou Ying's temper, he didn't want to talk to these people at all, he just wanted to use a stick to blow them out.

The reason why he did not do this was because he urgently wanted to understand the information of all parties. In addition to South Vietnam and the Western Regions, he was also very concerned about other information. He knew that the emperor was determined to be in all directions, the Huns and Nanyue were just the most important part of it, and he would inevitably open up the four realms in the future. He failed to catch up and conquered Nanyue. He was also a little hasty, and he learned from his mistakes and started to collect other information now to seize the initiative.

He didn't want to be refuted by Liang Xiao in person like the last time and lose face.

He collected a lot of information, but this information was not only very complicated, but also somewhat contradictory, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity. He ordered people to write it down one by one and sent someone to verify it if he had the opportunity. The Dou family and Chen family had hundreds of children, and they could always find a few capable and courageous trips.

When he heard that the emperor had an imperial edict, Dou Ying was very angry when he learned that Tian Fu was talking badly to him in front of the emperor, he immediately followed Guo Sheren to Weiyang Palace.

The master Yan stood outside the door. Seeing Dou Ying's carriage coming out, he immediately rushed up and grabbed Dou Ying's carriage. He said loudly: "Dou Gong, come to the monk's master, Fu Yan. I have a word to persuade him."

Dou Ying was a little impatient. He saw too many people who came to recommend themselves and spoke out loudly. However, when he heard the name of Master Yan, he felt it was a little familiar, so he still asked the coachman to stop.

"Zhufu Yan?" Dou Ying looked at Zhongfu Yan. "Have you ever been to the Champion Marquis' Mansion?"

Master Yan was very surprised. "The champion Hou mentioned me in front of Duke Dou?"

"This is not, it was mentioned before His Majesty."

The master's father Yan was both surprised and happy. Liang Xiao did not accept him as his disciple, but gave him ten gold, and he was somewhat disappointed at that time. After all, ten gold was not his purpose. What he longed for was to ask Liang Xiao to recommend him to the emperor. Originally, he thought there was no chance, but he didn't expect that Liang Xiao actually mentioned him in front of the emperor.

This was an unexpected joy. In an instant, Master Yan became more grateful to Liang Xiao. He was the real gentleman who did not seek repaid kindness. If Dou Ying had not mentioned it, he would not have known about this.

Dou Ying stroked his beard and thought to himself. Liang Xiao recommended Zhufu Yan to the emperor, but the emperor never summoned Zhufu Yan. What was the reason? Liang Xiao seemed rude, but in fact he had a good family. He must have a reason for doing this. Since that is the case, he should not accept Zhufu Yan's self-recommendation.

Dou Ying glanced at Guo Sheren not far away and thought about it.

"Did you see that carriage?"

The master Yan nodded repeatedly. Of course, he saw Guo Sheren's carriage, but he didn't know the depth and dared not come forward rashly.

"That is Guo Sheren, the emperor's favorite advocate."

Master Yan's eyes turned and suddenly realized. He thanked Dou Ying repeatedly, and then rushed to Guo Sheren's carriage a few steps and gave a deep bow. "Mr. Yuanzi, pay homage to Guo Jun."

Guo Sheren was shocked. Although he was favored by the emperor, his status was lowly. He was just an advocate. When was the scholar so respected? He quickly got out of the car and returned the favor. As soon as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something. "Are you the Lord of Linzi, Fu Yan?"

The Lord's Father Yan just heard that Liang Xiao mentioned him in front of the emperor. He was not surprised and calmly responded: "That's right."

"The emperor is looking for you, please go back to the palace with me." Guo Sheren was overjoyed. He was lucky today. He came to invite Dou Ying, but found the master Yan, who was eager to summon him. He was really killing two birds with one stone.

The master Yan was overjoyed and thanked him quickly. He got into Guo Sheren's car and rushed to Weiyang Palace with him. His career was expected, and he was full of gratitude to Liang Xiao and Dou Ying. If it weren't for Liang Xiao, the emperor would not know him. If it weren't for Dou Ying, how could he seize the opportunity in front of him?

When the emperor learned that the Lord's Father Yan was outside the palace, the emperor was very happy and immediately ordered someone to summon him into the palace.

Taking advantage of the time when the master Yan was not yet here, the emperor chatted with Dou Ying, talked about the Yuzhang Shipyard, and quietly revealed the fact that Tian Fu slandered him.

Dou Ying was very angry and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I have many guests in my family. However, they are not my disciples, but my source of information. For me, they are no different from the Hu merchants in Hu City."

The emperor smiled. "Du Gong, what kind of news have you asked about?"

Dou Ying was waiting for the emperor's words and immediately said his thoughts. After hearing this, the emperor was in a good mood. He was somewhat regretful to drive Liang Xiao to Yuzhang. Among the civil and military officials in the court, although Liang Xiao's knowledge was not good, his vision was very broad, and he was one step further than that of ordinary people. Liang Xiao left, and when talking about long-term goals, there was one less person who could be discussed. Now Dou Ying is preparing for the future, so he is naturally happy.

"In the eyes of Duke Dou, what other directions are there besides the Huns and Nanyue?"

Dou Ying has been thinking about these things these days. When he saw the emperor ask questions, he immediately talked freely and drew a grand blueprint for the emperor. In addition to further strengthening trade in the Western Regions, he also suggested to expedition to Korea in the east, attack Qiang in the west, and further communicate with India. According to the word of mouth, North Korea had people from Central Plains as early as the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and India was also a great country that the people in the Western Regions often called it. It has various treasures and beasts, not far from the Han Dynasty, and can be included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The emperor was so excited that he heard this, and he praised Dou Ying for a few words.

Just as he was happy, the Lord's father Yan entered the hall and bowed to the emperor, offering him a long-prepared countermeasure.

The emperor immediately read it. After reading a few lines of words, he couldn't help but applaud and was so happy that he asked Dou Ying to come and take a look. Dou Ying was also very surprised and praised him. The king and his ministers read and discussed, and their eyebrows were dancing.

When the Lord Father Yan saw him, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

The emperor had read it for half, and his hands were almost red. Suddenly he saw some familiar content. He paused for a moment and continued to read it. It was not until he finished reading the countermeasures that he raised up and looked at Master Yan with a smile.

"I heard that you have been to the mansion of champion Hou Liangxiao?"

"Your Majesty said very well. I once went to the Champion Marquis's Mansion to ask for a visit."

"How does Liang Xiao treat you?"

The master Yan told the situation at that time. Although he was full of gratitude for Liang Xiao at this moment, he did not show any evidence. He had seen too many people and had studied the emperor's character. When he first met Liang Xiao, he suggested that Liang Xiao be cautious in his work to avoid the emperor's suspicion. If today Zi transferred Liang Xiao to Yuzhang, how could he not know the truth? Poetrying Liang Xiao at this time would be like harming him.

"The champion Hou was eager to enter the palace to meet him and earned ten gold."

The emperor smiled. "He didn't discuss the government affairs with you?"

The master Yan shook his head. Liang Xiao did not mention any government affairs at that time.

The emperor unveiled the letter from the Lord's Father Yan, pointed to the part about the proposal of favor, and said with a smile: "Do you know that if you recommend favoring the sons of the princes, divide and govern them, is this the suggestion that Liang Xiao put forward half a year ago?"

The Lord Father Yan suddenly realized. He immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words just now, and even more understood Liang Xiao's cleverness. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is probably the same as the heroes' views. However, the Champion Marquis never talked about this with me, this is my own idea."

The emperor laughed. He just had some questions and could not conclude that this idea was told by Liang Xiao to Master Yan. From the rest of the articles of Master Yan, he could also see Master Yan's knowledge and talent, and he did not need to take Liang Xiao's credit at all.

"Mr. Dou, look..."

Dou Ying was a man who was a mature spirit and knew the emperor's thoughts. He smiled and bowed. "Congratulations to Your Majesty for having another talent. No talent left behind will lead to great achievements."

The emperor laughed in his heart. Dou Ying was indeed not a good-looking lamp, and stabbed Tian Feng quietly. Choosing virtuous and capable is one of the responsibilities of the prime minister. The master Yan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Tian Feng failed to recommend it. Instead, he chose some corrupt officials like Xiahou Ding. He, as the prime minister, was really incompetent.

Dou Ying and Tian Fen faced each other in a tit-for-tat way, which was the situation he expected. If they were as close as father and son as before, how could he dare to use Dou Ying?

The emperor and the emperor had a long chat with the master Yan and met too late. That night, the master Yan became a doctor and joined Xu Le and Yan An to enter the Chengming Palace.

Liu Ling was blocked from his way in Changmen Garden. Princess Guantao invited her to rest for a while in Changmen Garden.

Liu Ling was so kind that she came to Changmen Garden and met Princess Guantao. The two of them talked affectionately for a while, and Princess Guantao immediately introduced the topic. She was waiting for Liu Ling here not only to welcome Liu Ling, but to encounter problems.

Princess Yang Xin presented a group of beauties to the palace. She was not only beautiful, but also good at singing and dancing, which was very popular with the emperor. This made Princess Guantao feel the pressure. The sisters of the Chen family are good-looking, but after all, they are wealthy. How could they be compared with those women who have been professionally trained in singing and dancing? Seeing that the game he had just won was about to fail, Princess Guantao was confused and could only ask Liu Ling for help.

Liu Ling laughed. "So what if they are favored, can they still threaten the position of queen? Grandmaster, if you care, it will be inconvenient."

Seeing that Liu Linghun didn't care, Princess Guantao breathed a sigh of relief. "Is there really nothing wrong?"

"Nothing happened." Liu Ling said: "As long as the Chen family can give birth to a prince for the emperor, the position of this prince is from the Chen family. Even if Princess Yang Xin sends many beauties into the palace, what can I do? It's just another Wei Zifu."

She glanced at Princess Guantao. "Tailor, you have read "Laozi" for so many years. Don't you know the truth that 'You are not fighting, so no one in the world can fight with it'?"

Princess Guantao sighed: "I don't know this truth, but as you said, caring will cause chaos. Unless the queen can give birth to a prince, I can only be truly at ease. Those two children are not my flesh and blood after all."—
