Chapter 409
Empress Doulu came from the Murong tribe of Xianbei. Her original surname was Murong.

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the ancestors followed He Bayue into the customs, and then returned to Yuwentai. After the founding of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was granted the title of Duke of Chu.

The current Duke of Chu is Dou Luxian, the eldest brother of Empress Doulu, and Dou Luyu, who is looking for Empress Doulu at this time, is the second son of the family.

Yang Liang, as Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo's favorite youngest son, his wife, Queen Doulu, was naturally carefully selected by Yang Jian and his wife.

The 28-year-old Queen Doulu not only had a beautiful appearance, but also a gentle and submissive personality, but she lacked the majesty of her mother in her dealings with others.

As soon as Dou Luyu came to Empress Doulu's bedroom, she just took a seat and kept sighing.

Queen Doulu asked in confusion:
"Now that the danger in the east of the river has been resolved, when it's time to celebrate, why does the second brother sigh?"

Seeing Queen Doulu's question, Dou Luyu said with a sad face:

"Wang Wei provoked the relationship between the sage and the king of Yan, and urged the sage to retreat to Daizhou. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty continued to remonstrate, but the sage seemed to have intentions to move."

Queen Doulu frowned and said:
"It's fine, why go to Daizhou?"

Dou Luyu knew his sister, she was gentle and virtuous, but she had no brains, he explained:

"King Yan intends to take over Jinyang and control the court."

Queen Doulu said in surprise:
"This is not to treat the saint as a puppet. Why do you still want to persuade the saint to stay in Jinyang?"

Fortunately, she was still happy for Cui Che's victory in the battle, but that person is also a traitor.

Dou Luyu said anxiously:

"My good girl! Don't even think about it. The saint turned against King Yan and fled to Daizhou. If King Yan raised his troops to attack, would he be able to defend Daizhou!

"At that time, Daizhou will fall, and you will become a prisoner, and you will not be at the disposal of others.

"Maybe King Yan just rewarded you to a rude warrior under his command.

"If the sage stays in Jinyang and maintains peace with King Yan, you can continue to be the queen and enjoy your dignity!"

He was bullying Empress Doulu for not being aware of politics, at least for now, Cui Che could not fight Yang Liang blatantly.

Queen Doulu didn't understand politics, so she nodded subconsciously. She also felt that her husband couldn't defend Daizhou in the face of Cui Che, but then she reacted and asked a little panicked:
"But if King Yan seeks to usurp the throne in the future, wouldn't the sage and Hao'er have no way out?"

The Hao'er that Empress Doulu spoke of was the seven-year-old Yang Hao, the son of her and Yang Liang.

And Yang Hao is also Yang Liang's only son.

Dou Luyu comforted and said:

"Don't the empress hear about Duke Shanyang (Han Xiandi Liu Xie), as long as everything is coordinated with the king of Yan, even if the situation changes in the future, how can the king of Yan embarrass the queen's family.

"But if you listen to what Wang Kai said and turn against the King of Yan, that will be the end of your life."

Empress Doulu was a little relieved and said:
"What the second brother said is reasonable, but what should I do as a concubine?"

Only then did Dou Luyu tell Empress Doulu about her plan. It turned out that she wanted to let her have a pillow and persuade Yang Liang to stay in Jinyang.

Empress Doulu and Yang Liang had a deep relationship. That night, when the husband and wife were sleeping together, Empress Doulu persuaded Yang Liang according to the words taught by her brother Dou Luyu:

"Your Majesty wants to move the capital to Daizhou, but I often hear that Daizhou is bitter and cold, and it is definitely not a place for heroes to use their skills. Going here is tantamount to sitting and waiting to die.

"My concubine, please Your Majesty to stay in Jinyang, follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, bear the burden of humiliation, there may be opportunities for success in the future."

Yang Liang's eyes lit up when he heard the words. Indeed, Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, killed powerful officials, and then took control of the government and unified the north.

This also provided Yang Liang with a template. Being a puppet also has the possibility of turning back.

Yang Liang didn't ask where Queen Doulu heard about moving to Daizhou, after all, it had already been spread in Jinyang Palace City.

He held his wife's hand and said with emotion:

"Fortunately, the queen's words woke me up. If I listen to Wang Kai's words, I'm afraid I will make a big mistake."

The next day, Yang Liang summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs and announced with everyone that he would stay in Jinyang. Everyone shouted long live, but Wang Wei's face was gloomy.

That night, Dou Luyu approached Fang Yanzao to ask for credit. When parting, Dou Luyu respectfully said:
"In the future, we will serve under the command of King Yan, and please take care of Fang Gong."

Fang Yanzao waved his hands and said with a smile:
"Grand Doulu may have asked the wrong person."

Dou Luyu asked doubtfully:

"What does Mr. Fang mean by this?"

Fang Yanzao asked back:

"Mr. Doulu, could it be that you have forgotten where most of the wives and concubines of King Yan come from?"

After Fang Yanzao's suggestion, Dou Luyu suddenly realized, and thanked him again and again.

In the anticipation of everyone, after Cui Che solemnly sacrificed to the fallen defenders in Gaobiling, he went north to Jinyang via Shuque Valley. Su's insistence did not delay the farming season.

On February 60th, the first year of Daye ([-] A.D.), Cui Che led [-] cavalry to the outside of Jinyang City, and still set up camp outside the city.

The next day, Cui Che's general Cheng Yaojin led his troops to the south gate of Jinyang, claiming that His Royal Highness King Yan had lost his beloved horse, suspected that someone had stolen into Jinyang City, and insisted on searching the city.

In Jinyang City, no one could have imagined that Cui Che would come up with such a reason when he couldn't fight Yang Liang.

In fact, Yang Liang still wanted to keep Cui Che out of the city. After all, Cui Che couldn't attack Jinyang just to find a horse.

But what Yang Liang didn't expect was that his most trusted Dou Luyu falsely passed on Yang Liang's order, ordering the defenders to open the city gate and let the Yan army enter the city.

Dou Luyu used to be Bo, the head of the palace of the Han Dynasty. After Yang Liang became emperor, he was regarded as Shangshu Zuopushe, which can be called a high position and weight.

It's just that Zhu Tao, who is in charge of city defense, has to verify Yang Liang's seal, but Dou Lu Yu has no proof.

Just when Dou Luyu was extremely anxious, Wang Ba stepped forward. He attacked and killed Zhu Tao, and joined forces with other generals who had defected to Cui Che to control the outer city of Jinyang.

Wang Ba opened the city gate and let Cheng Yaojin enter the city.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the Yan army entered Jinyang one after another under the leadership of Cui Che.

Among the 3 cavalry, Cui Che dispatched [-] cavalry to control all parts of Jinyang, and only led the [-] cavalry of the Qianxiao Army to the direction of Jinyang Gongcheng.

Arriving outside the palace city, Cui Che was filled with emotions.

This used to be the Prince Jin's mansion. When he guarded Jinyang with Yang Guang, he often went in and out of it.

After Yang Guang went to Yangzhou, it used to be the Palace of the King of Qin. After Yang Jun, the King of Qin, was dismissed, it became the Palace of the King of Han. Now it has changed its name to Jinyang Palace.

But the palace in front of him is indeed much more majestic than when he was there.

Of course, this is due to the extensive construction of palaces during the period when Qin Wang Yang Jun was in Jinyang.

Knowing that Cui Che had already entered the city and was heading towards the palace, Yang Liang couldn't care less about resenting Dou Luyu for betraying him, so he hurried to the main gate of Jinyang Palace with a group of civil and military personnel to watch.

 And at night
