During the entire court debate, although the Queen Mother did not speak, Dou Ying could see clearly the changes in her emotions, from being impartial to being obviously biased towards one side.

At the beginning, she was still in a fair manner. As the situation reversed, she finally fell into the balance. Seeing that Tian Fu was gradually in a place of ruling in vain, her face became increasingly ugly.

Although he wanted to have an attack, he was afraid of embarrassing Liu Che, so he simply left the seat early due to his identity.

Liu Che himself knows Dou Ying very well.

He knew very well that if Guan Fu had not suffered grievances, if Tian Fu had not acted intolerable at the banquet, if Guan Fu had not really reached the point where his sins were unforgivable, then it was obvious that he would not have risked his life to defend him, because of his nature.

Although Dou Ying was old, he was not confused. He reads tolerance and understanding from the emperor's eyes.

This is very important!

This shows that things have turned around.

He believed that with the emperor's wiseness, it was naturally not difficult to hear the right and wrong in it. If he really wanted to be punished, he would definitely not be too strict.

But a few days later, misfortune came, and a shocking news made him completely desperate.

He did not expect that the Queen Mother of the King was not a kind person. He actually performed a hunger strike farce like the Queen Mother of the King of Liang to save King Liang, which was shocking.

The Empress Dowager called on her to death and cried to the emperor: "The Ai family is still alive today, what about you? As the king of a country, he insulted the brothers of the Ai family in this way. Once the Ai family is gone, you... don't know how to bully them!"

So the situation took a sharp turn. Guan Fu was sent to Zhongdu Zhao Prison and asked for his death sentence directly. The information was heard in Yan Zhu's ears, causing him great pain and also flooding Dou Ying's old heart.

So does Liu Che really want to kill Guan Fu?

No, he just convicted first and has not made any specific idea yet.

But the Empress Dowager did not give up. She held a grudge against Dou Ying's defense for Guan Fu. She also believed that the reason why Guan Fu dared to scold the feast was because Dou Ying was instigating him behind his back, and he couldn't get away with it.

The Empress Dowager Dou clan, who died early, is still her target.

So next, she raised the butcher knife to Dou Ying and asked Liu Che for his request.

Then, Dou Ying was taken to the imperial prison by the Tingwei Mansion, and the trial was just a procedure. Whether Dou Ying admitted it or not, it could not represent anything. It would only be considered a quibble. He could not escape the charge of instigating others and confusing people's hearts.

Dou Ying was not afraid of death, but felt that it was not worth dying like this. After all, he was an old minister who had been valued by the late emperor and Liu Che. How could he be convicted so confusedly?

At that moment, he had hope of PUBG's battle, and suddenly he thought that when the late emperor was alive, he had left him an edict saying, "If there is any inconvenience, the price will be considered as cheap."

So he wrote a letter to Liu in prison overnight: I was ordered to fight against rebels, and the army was next to Xingyang, resisted Qi, and Zhao rebelled against the army.

The late emperor Longen was granted the title of Wei Qihou and rewarded him with a thousand gold medals. The ministers did not make private property, but all of them were dispersed. However, the late emperor's death sentence was: "If there is any inconvenience, the best is to be considered."

This edict is sincere. I will ask the emperor to consider me to defend the Han Dynasty and the country, and to forgive me for not guilty...

The letter was quickly sent to Xuanshi Hall through the Beique Sima. The good man Dou Ying also received a help. Bao Sang, who was already full of sympathy for Dou Ying, specially placed his memorial at the front that day, so that Liu Che could see it earlier so that he would not be wronged.

And in those days, Liu Che was also worried because he argued with the Empress Dowager about Dou Ying's fate.

Dou Ying's letter made Liu Che find a turning point in the matter all at once. Perhaps the last emperor's will was the most sufficient reason for him to persuade the Empress Dowager to pardon Dou Ying.

Liu Che immediately passed an order to Mrs. Dou, asking her to bring the imperial edict to the palace immediately.

But it was too late. The family secretary who was responsible for keeping the last emperor's will suddenly disappear, and the last will disappear.

The next day, Tian Fen went to the palace to report that Dou Ying's family secretary said that there had never been any last order of the late emperor.

In this way, Dou Ying had another charge of "forgetting an edict" on his head...

Could it be that Liu Che is not clear about what happened? Is the dispute between relatives of the foreign country so vicious?

In prison, the Tingwei Zhaozhao, Dou Ying was wearing shackles and shackles, waiting for the day of his sentence.

He knew that including the paintings today, there were a total of 180 traces on the wall.

He never had any fear of death, but he was never willing to die like this.

When the last ray of sunset retreated from a corner of the cell, two lines of heavy tears rolled out from Dou Ying's eyes and sighed to the sky: "Master! The old minister is wronged!"

The cold wind in December of the third year of Yuanguang passed through the prison in such a bleak manner, blowing into Dou Ying's prison room, and also blew his hair like weeds.

His skinny hands pulled up the cold chain of shackles and walked to the wall with bloodstains. His fingers drew a trace on the wall, and a sad sneer flowed unconsciously between his eyebrows: "Ah! There are one more day missing in this world."

"It's all because of me that Guan Fu was implicated! Dou Ying, you... you deserve to die of sin!"

He beat his chest and blamed himself for the poisonous flames climbing through the riverbed of memory like a poisonous snake.

As the sun gradually sets westward, the dim light is projecting on a corner of the cell, and the finger marks he carved on the wall are mottled.

He blamed himself for his carelessness, so why did he use the last emperor's will to protect himself? Although it is not bad, the last emperor did say in the edict that "if there is inconvenience, the cheapest thing is to be considered."

And after the emperor read his memorial, he immediately asked the Shangshutai to find the will, and he also wanted to use this to convince the empress dowager.

But he never expected that the clerk who had sealed the will for him would betray the Lord and seek honor at a critical moment, but he actually denied such a will.

The door of the prison cell rang, and the prison officer led a young general in. In order to appear to be tolerant in front of Wei Qing, a great hero under the emperor, he still shouted respectfully: "Mr. Dou! The emperor specially sent General Wei to see you."

Wei Qing was wearing a black cloak, his whole face was buried in the hood. His voice was very low: "Sir, you have suffered! Please give Wei Qing a bow!"

Dou Ying stood up with difficulty and returned the gift: "How dare you receive such a great gift from the general when you are about to die!

Alas! Aren't you dealing with the Huns on the front line? Why are you here?"

"No! In Wei Qing's heart, it is a mountain. I said that I returned to Beijing, but the war ahead was going smoothly. Wei Qing heard that he was in trouble and came to see you."

Wei Qing said, then put the wine and food on, "I will be drunk with you tonight. Please remove the punishment for Lord Dou."
