Chapter 58
"Zi Ang, how is the situation?"

The little fat man knelt on the bed and asked with a solemn expression.

"The remnants of the Dou thief have been completely killed by us, and there is no one left alive. I also sent soldiers to put Hu Guang and Du Mi under house arrest. None of them are allowed to go out. The Northern Army is currently under Zhang Huan's control. I heard that he directly The four lieutenants were beheaded, and the party members joined together to continuously visit and inquire, even the mansion of the general, and several people tried to break into it in vain."

"Later, he was arrested by the soldiers and sent directly to Ting Wei's prison."

"Ting Wei. Hehe, I'm afraid he was released immediately after being imprisoned in Ting Wei."

The little fat man sneered, shook his head, and said: "You don't need to worry about these partisans. You have brought Zhang Huan to the palace now, and I need to talk to him. In addition, find Master He and ask him to come back to help me."

"Northern army camp, I'll go there now, but Master He didn't know his whereabouts after he was driven out of the palace by the sinus bandits that day, let alone where he is at this moment."

"Hahaha, that's easy, just bring Zhang Huan!"

Xing Ziang took the order to say goodbye, the little fat man was sitting on his knees, but he was thinking about the future, he completely killed the eunuch and party members like this, he had never thought of it, he thought he would have to wait a few more years, but Dou Wu After touching his bottom line, he chose to kill Dou Wu directly. He knew that this matter would not pass easily, and it might even cause turmoil.

However, the little fat man didn't regret it, he killed him as long as he had Zhang Huan's support, and he had the most elite troops of the big man in his hand, those party members would not be able to make any waves at all. Then he can forcefully intervene in the government. Thinking of this, the little fat man can't help but feel a little happy, but the problem now is to completely appease the court.

For this matter, Mrs. Dou still has to come.

After more than an hour, veteran Zhang Huan arrived at the palace.

In Houde Hall, the little fat man received the veteran. Zhang Huan came in in a hurry, but instead of saluting, he looked at the little fat man. He really cared about the young emperor in his heart. He took a breath, leaned over to salute, and said: "Chen, ask Your Majesty for your safety." Seeing Zhang Huan like this, the little fat man felt confident.

He nodded and smiled, and Jun said: "Zhen An, Zhang Jun, please stand up." Zhang Huan knelt and sat directly opposite him, and there were only three people left in the hall, Zhang Huan, the little fat man, and the one who had been standing At the door, Han An and Zhang Huan, who were motionless, had many questions in their hearts, but they didn't know where to ask them. The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and the little fat man suddenly said, "Dou Wu conspired to rebel and led the Northern Army to attack Weiyang Palace."

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Huan was ashamed, stood up suddenly, bowed down, and said: "I am not good at governing the army, I have neglected my duties and made mistakes, and I am ashamed of your majesty's kindness!", but he still remembers his position, even his title, It was all bestowed by the young emperor in front of him. Hearing what he said, the little fat man was very happy.

As long as you think Dou Wu is a traitor, it's easy to handle.

The little fat man was most afraid of this veteran, and suddenly asked, Dou Jun is also a role model in the world, why would he do such a rebellious thing?

If he asks this question, then the little fat man can only reluctantly leave this famous general whom he admired since childhood in the palace. If they can’t, they can only be eliminated. Isn’t that true for famous founding ministers and generals like Han Xin?Hearing the veteran's answer like this, the little fat man felt relieved.

The little fat man got up immediately, walked in front of Zhang Huan, helped Zhang Huan up, and said gently: "Mr. Zhang was also deceived by that traitor, so why are you guilty?" He helped Zhang Huan up, and the little fat man said in a daze : "When I was young, I heard that the generals went on expeditions everywhere without defeat. At that time, the generals were the people I admired and admired the most."

Seeing the praise of the emperor in front of him, Zhang Huan felt a little warm in his heart, and the little fat man suddenly said: "It's the same at this time." I can only hope that the general can stabilize the overall situation and stabilize the world." He helped Zhang Huan to sit down, and the little fat man sat directly opposite him.

Zhang Huan also started to ask about the events of that day, and the fat man answered them one by one.

"Dou Wu is a traitor, alas, just like Wang Mang, with ulterior motives." Zhang Huan shook his head and said, the little fat man was taken aback for a moment, suddenly his expression struggled and he couldn't speak, Zhang Huan raised his head, but didn't speak again, the little fat man sighed, Some helplessly said: "The general is close to me, but I don't hide it from the general. On that day, Dou Wu's rebels attacked the Houde Palace and wanted to persecute the Queen Mother."

"I'm really scared. I can't speak in front of that traitor."

The little fat man burst into tears, and said with some pain: "The traitor wants to harm the queen mother. Although the queen mother is the daughter of the traitor, she is like my biological mother. How can I bear it? In the past, Yuan Kai insulted my mother and was stabbed by me. , and the night before last, when I saw Dou thief trying to harm his mother, I took advantage of the thief's surprise and killed Dou thief." He paused again, but looked up at Zhang Huan, and said:
"The traitor is a famous man in the world and the father of the queen mother. I dare not tell the truth. I can only tell the queen that the thief Dou was killed by soldiers of the Northern Army. I dare not tell the officials who knew about it. There is Zhang Juner."

Although he knew that Dou Wu was killed by the little fat man, Zhang Huan was moved and admired when he heard that the little fat man trusted him so much. In this big man who values ​​filial piety, the little fat man's move certainly won Zhang Huan's appreciation, and Zhang Huan said with some emotion: "I have known about this for a long time."

The little fat man looked at Zhang Huan in surprise, and suddenly cried again: "I don't know how sad the queen mother will be if she finds out about this, I can't bear to hurt the queen mother."

"Your Majesty, don't cry."

Zhang Huan frowned and said: "You must not tell the Queen Mother about this matter, nor must you tell the officials. That Dou Wu was killed by soldiers of the Northern Army. Your Majesty is young. If you tell the truth, I am afraid that the mother and the child will be separated, and the monarch and the minister will be separated. , the matter here will be handed over to the minister."

"Zhang Jun." The little fat man suddenly hugged Zhang Huan and started to cry. Zhang Huan also hugged the young emperor. Alas, His Majesty is only a child in his teens, and so is Zhang Huan's grandson. Zhang Huan comforted him for a long time. This young, cute, kind-hearted, mother-loving son of heaven just stopped crying. With Zhang Huan's help, the little fat man has nothing to worry about.

Zhang Huan said goodbye and left. He still had a lot of things to do.

The little fat man wiped away his tears, and lay down on the sickbed, causing Han An to call Xiao Huangmen, and said weakly:

"Tell the empress that there is a serious matter in the Weiyang Palace, and we can no longer hide it. It is reasonable to call all the officials to tell the truth. I intend to accompany the empress, but I cannot stay here due to illness. The affairs of the court will also be handled by the mother later."

Let the little yellow gate pass, and the little fat man closed his eyes. If Zhang Huan can help him, then he doesn't have to worry about the officials anymore. He originally wanted to wait until Duan Jiong came, and the Northern Army soldiers returned. But, now, Duan Jiong has not defeated the enemy for a long time, so he can't procrastinate any longer. Today, he doesn't have to go. He just needs to be safe and be a helpless emperor who was wounded by the rebels.

Dou Dou later accused Dou Wu of treason in the court.

Thinking about it, it must be more credible for Mrs. Dou to tell the truth in person later than to say it herself. After all, Queen Mother Dou is Dou Wu's daughter.
