Chapter 35: Emperor Jing's Courage

Changxin Palace.

Empress Dowager Dou leaned against the soft couch, with various insect jars placed on the short table, and the sound of insects sounded, as if he was in the field. Empress Dowager Dou had a smile on her face: "Baby, listen to your voice and feel comfortable. Nanpi Hou, why don't you speak?"

The Nanpi Hou Dou Pengzu is not too tall, not too short, and is medium. His eyes are slightly smaller, giving people a gloomy feeling. He is wearing luxurious deep clothes and wearing a Jinxian crown on his head. He stands respectfully beside Empress Dowager Dou, even trying to vent his anger as small as possible, so as not to quarrel against Empress Dowager Dou.

"Empress Dowager, you listen to the sound of insects, how dare I disturb you?" Dou Pengzu answered carefully, with a kind smile on his face, although Empress Dowager Dou couldn't see it.

"If you listen to the sound of insects, you can't listen to you? What's the matter if you come today?" Empress Dowager Dou frowned.

"The Empress Dowager is clear." Dou Pengzu's voice was very respectful: "The Empress Dowager, my nephew is puzzled when he heard something, so he came to ask you."

"Oh!" Empress Dowager Dou's interest was raised: "What's the matter?"

"Empress Dowager, this matter is very important. Although my nephew wants to know about it, he dare not speak." When Dou Pengzu saw that Empress Dowager Dou's interest came, he had to say it, but he used a trick to get it.

"Say! I forgive you for not guilty."

"No!" A trace of sinister flashed in Dou Pengzu's eyes: "Empress Dowager, do you know who the emperor ordered?"

"Zhou Yafu!" Empress Dowager Dou blurted out without thinking: "The general in the court, who is not as good as the marquis of Tiao, is he not a general, so who else can there be?"

"What the Empress Dowager said is very true." Dou Pengzu had the skill of flattering: "But the Emperor ordered Zhou Yang to be the general."

"Zhou Yang?" Empress Dowager Dou's tone was a little high: "Who is Zhou Yang?"

Zhou Yang's reputation is well-known among the children of the Chang'an family. However, how could this be heard in the ears of Empress Dowager Dou in the deep palace?

"Empress Dowager, you don't know that Zhou Yang is not a good person." Dou Pengzu had never had the opportunity to retaliate when Zhou Yang punched Dou Chang. This was a rare opportunity. How could he miss it? He was able to slander Zhou Yang: "Empress Dowager, Zhou Yang is the youngest son of Tiaohou, a vain man! He has been in and out of a place of romance and romance since he was a child, and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. How can he know about military and national affairs? The emperor ordered him to be a general. Isn't this a joke about national affairs?"

"It's outrageous! Nothing!" Empress Dowager Dou's brows frowned.

"Empress Dowager, my nephew is not worried about anything else, just about Princess Nangong." Empress Dowager Dou looked hypocritical, with sadness in his voice, as if Princess Nangong was his daughter: "If you lose this battle, Princess Nangong will not suffer the infinite sin?"

"Bang!"

Empress Dowager Dou was extremely loving to Princess Nangong. When she heard this, she could not bear it. She smashed her right hand heavily on the short desk and shouted: "Come on, invite the emperor for me!"

"No!" A palace maid immediately took the order and left.

"Marquis Nanpi, you go down! I will deal with this matter myself." Empress Dowager Dou's voice was a little cold.

The purpose has been achieved, Dou Pengzu bowed and his steps are as light as flying.

Not long after, Emperor Jing hurried over and said to the courtesy: "The Empress Dowager summoned the Emperor to come, I wonder what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I have never been concerned about state affairs, so I shouldn't have talked too much. However, I have to ask about Nangong's happiness." Empress Dowager Dou spoke angrily and asked, "I asked you, who is your general?"

"Empress Dowager, the emperor will choose the right person to live!" Emperor Jing's pupils shrank, and he was surprised.

Empress Dowager Dou stood up with a cane, and kept ticking the crutches on the ground: "You said, let me explain clearly to my body, who is your life?"

"Empress Dowager, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Emperor Jing was very surprised.

"You are embarrassed to say, right?" Empress Dowager Dou's voice turned high: "That's because you are the general who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. I'm sorry to say it! Who is Zhou Yang? You only know how to play women, eat, drink and play gambling. Such a person is actually the general, you are the general, you are the national affairs! You are the national affairs!"

My chest was swelling sharply and I was very angry.

Emperor Jing held Empress Dowager Dou's hand and let go, and took a few steps back, his voice turned cold: "Empress Dowager, who are you listening to nonsense? Zhou Yang used to eat, drink, have fun, and go to places of love and love. But now he has changed, and he will not go to those places."

"Just one family, he said he would change it if he changed it?" Empress Dowager Dou refused to give in: "Even if he changed it, he still needs talent to be able to live. You are so hasty? This will kill many people! It will cause trouble to Nangong!"

"Empress Dowager, do you know that the Huns have been defeated twice?" Emperor Jing frowned.

"The whole Chang'an has spread all over. No, what the entire Han Dynasty knows, how can I not know?" Empress Dowager Dou was confident.

"Can the Queen Mother know who planned these two battles?"

"who?"

"Zhou Yang!"

"What? Zhou Yang? He is a playboy, can he plan such a big deal?" Empress Dowager Dou didn't believe it at all, and thought she had heard it wrong.

"The commander of Jianzhang Army, Gongsun He, Fei General Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi, and Yanmen Prefect Feng Jing, they jointly sent the good news to ask for Zhou Yang for merit. Is it fake?" Emperor Jing's words changed: "Empress Dowager, even if you can't trust the general Fei, you can't trust Feng Jing, and Gongsun He, are you still trusting the process? Cheng Buzhi was originally the groom of your Dou family, and you can't trust even the people of your Dou family?"

Although Cheng Bushi was a famous general at the border, he was from a humble background and was a groom of the Dou family. Empress Dowager Dou discovered his talent and recommended it to the emperor, so that he could have the famous general today.

When Empress Dowager Dou's tone became much more relaxed: "Did you cheat me?"

"Chuntuo, go and get the good news." Emperor Jing did not answer and turned around and ordered.

Chuntuo responded and was about to run away. Empress Dowager Dou shouted: "Forget it! I believe in you. But, the emperor, even if it was planned by Zhou Yang, how old is Zhou Yang a little older? You just ordered him to be a general. Isn't it too reckless?"

"What does a person's talent have to do with age? Taigong did not meet King Wen, even if he lived a hundred years old, it would be useless. Ganluo was twelve years old, but he sent an envoy to Zhao State to the First Emperor, and he won nineteen cities without spending one soldier." Emperor Jing's face was shining and his eyes were particularly hot: "As long as he is talented, even if he is ten years old, I will use it!"

These are historical facts and no one can refute them. Empress Dowager Dou was in a disadvantage, but she was unwilling to admit defeat. She ticked her crutch on the ground: "Be good Zhou Yafu, a ready-made general, you don't need it, but you use a child, it's not right! It's not right!"

"Zhou Yafu, Zhou Yafu!" Emperor Jing seemed to be very angry, and his voice was a little sharp: "Who else is the famous general in this dynasty besides Zhou Yafu? When Zhou Yafu was in charge of the army in Xiliu, the late emperor discovered his talent, but he never used it..."

"That's a entrusted official!" Empress Dowager Dou's crutch pointed to the ground and angrily scolded Emperor Jing: "Before the late emperor passed away, did he hold your hand and say 'The country is in trouble, so look for Yafu'?"

Emperor Jing replied in a tough manner: "The late emperor was to entrust his orphans, but when the rebellion of the seven countries broke out, the country had no good generals and no elite soldiers. Only Zhou Yafu, a Xiliu army, could be called elite, and the rest were all mobs. Even if the King of Liang was surrounded, I issued several orders to urge Zhou Yafu to lift the siege of Suiyang. However, Zhou Yafu's military strength was too small and he dared not go. If the late emperor had used Zhou Yafu a long time ago, would I be so worried during the rebellion of the seven countries?"

These are the pains of Emperor Jing’s years of being an emperor. Every word is true, and Empress Dowager Dou couldn’t help but be stunned.

Emperor Jing's tone was even higher, almost roaring: "Ten years later, Zhou Yafu could not move his horse and could not swing his sword. At that time, who would the descendants rely on for their future generations? They wanted them to repeat my mistakes? They wanted no soldiers, no generals? By then, the Huns were attacked, who would fight against the enemy?"

Every word of blame is accusing him, but every word of blood and tears is gone, and Empress Dowager Dou has nothing to say.

"I have to train troops and generals this time. If I defeat you, I will be defeated! As long as they can summarize their experiences and lessons, I will be satisfied." Emperor Jing expressed his intention.

This is a long-term plan, and Empress Dowager Dou has nothing to say: "If that is the case, how will it end?"

"Then marry Nangong to the Xiongnu and calm the anger of the Shanyu!" Emperor Jing said this very coldly, like ice. However, there was a layer of mist in Emperor Jing's eyes and his chest was slightly undulating.

"Bang!" The crutch in Queen Mother Dou's hand fell to the ground.

Emperor Jing didn't turn his head and turned around and left the palace. When he passed the threshold, he was tripped. If Chuntuo hadn't held it quickly, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Chuntuo, go check it, who has been to the Queen Mother's place?" Emperor Jing's eyes narrowed into a small slit.

"Your Majesty, it's Marquis of Nanpi!"
