Chapter 534
Emperor Chong lowered his deep eyes and held a wolf hair in his hand, as if he was reviewing a memorial.

Dou Wei walked slowly to the Dragon Table, bent his knees, prostrated himself on the ground, respecting Emperor Chong who was seated opposite him, and said: "My minister sees the Emperor."

Emperor Chong did not make a sound immediately, but he still had a pair of deep eyes hanging down, and his two gazes fell on the memorial in front of him from the beginning to the end. Dou Wei is average.

"My humble minister sees the emperor." Dou Weilue raised his brows, glanced at Emperor Chong, and shouted again, this time, his voice was amplified a bit.

Emperor Chong's hand holding the pen paused slightly, as if he was startled, and then he raised his eyes slowly, looking straight ahead, and his two eyes fell on Dou Wei.

"Dou Aiqing, when did you come?" When he said this, Dou Wei had already knelt down for quite a while.

While speaking, Emperor Chong put down the wolf hair in his hand, and supported the armrest towards Dou Weixu, "Dou Aiqing, get flat quickly."

Dou Wei just knelt and waited outside the imperial study for a long time, and now he knelt again, his old legs were unavoidably numb and sore, "My minister, I thank the emperor." He staggered and got up.

Emperor Chong simply put the memorial in his hand aside, stared at Dou Wei with a pair of deep eyes, and asked first: "I don't know, what is it that Dou Aiqing is looking for me?"

This sentence was obviously pretending to be confused, and Dou Wei felt his blood churning violently after hearing this.

Dou Wei was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to show half of it on his face. He stared at Chongdi, trying to figure out what Chongdi was thinking, and said: "Your Majesty, it's a humble minister who can't teach his son well. Please forgive me."

Dou Wei burst into tears, and really wiped away two old tears with his sleeves.

Emperor Chong's dark, deep pupils shrank slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he did not answer his words, and waited for his next words.

Dou Wei wiped away two old tears, looked sadly at Emperor Chong with an old face, and after a moment of seriousness, he said earnestly again: "Your Majesty, it is the humble ministers who are not strict with their children, Xiao'er, and Yun'er who committed such crimes." Confused." Although the words were sincere, they did not directly acknowledge Dou Xiao and Dou Yun's deduction of military pay.

In Chongdi's deep eyes, traces of darkness flashed again.

He stared at Dou Wei calmly, his eyes carefully exploring him.

This old fox sang such a song today, what is his plan?
After Dou Wei finished speaking in tears, Emperor Chong thought for a while, and then said: "Dou Aiqing, don't blame me for being cruel, the prince breaks the law and the same crime as the common people, even though Dou Xiao and Dou Yun are my cousins, but the law of the country does not allow it." Love, I can't do anything about it."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chong looked at Dou Wei with a sad and hopeless expression on his face.

"The emperor is worried about the world's worries, but my minister can understand the emperor's difficulties." Dou Wei replied following the words of Emperor Chong.

He naturally knew that what Emperor Chong said was just persecuting and suppressing him.

"It's good that Dou Aiqing can understand me." Emperor Chong straightened his body, gave a feigned sigh, then glanced at Gao Jiu, and ordered in a cold voice: "Don't grant a seat to General Dou yet."

Emperor Chong's thinking jumped a little, Gao Jiu almost didn't keep up, his expression was stunned, and he said: "Yes, Your Majesty." After responding, he personally pulled a carved wooden chair to Dou Wei's side.

"General, the emperor bestows a seat."

Dou Wei glanced at the carved wooden chair, lifted his court clothes, and prostrated himself in front of Emperor Chong's imperial case again, "I thank Your Majesty Long En." Then he got up and sat on the carved wooden chair.

With his ass down, Dou Wei just felt like sitting on pins and needles.

After sitting down, Dou Wei raised his eyes to look at the bright yellow imperial case. At this time, Emperor Chong had already picked up a copy of the imperial case, and was immersed in reviewing it seriously, without paying attention to him at all.

The smell of ambergris wafted from the gilded hollow incense burner.

The Royal Study Room in Luoda was very quiet, as quiet as death. The Empress Dowager and the maids who were waiting on the side looked at their noses and their hearts. They didn't dare to take a breath for fear of disturbing the quiet atmosphere.

Dou Wei frowned, and his heart sank more and more.The emperor was trying to be more patient with him.

Time passed quietly, and two cups of tea had passed, and Emperor Chong was still writing and reviewing the papers on the imperial case, he had never glanced at Dou Wei, and had no intention of stopping at all.

Dou Wei frowned deeply, and his heart sank again and again. At this moment, he really couldn't understand Chongdi's mind.

"Your Majesty!" In the end, Dou Wei still couldn't help but speak first, he stood up, and stood respectfully in front of Chongdi's imperial case, "I have something to say."

Dou Wei's voice was full of energy and sonorous, breaking the silence in the imperial study.

Emperor Chong lowered his eyes, and when Dou Wei finished speaking, a faint light flashed in his eyes.Hmph, the old fox finally lost his composure.

After thinking about it, he slowly put down the wolf hair in his hand, raised his deep eyes, shifted his gaze to Dou Wei, and said unhurriedly, "Oh, what's the matter for Dou Aiqing?" Ask knowingly.

The tone of his speech was so flat that people couldn't understand his thoughts.

Dou Wei saw that Emperor Chong had finally put down the folder in his hand, his eyes rolled slightly, and he glanced at Gao Jiu, as well as the eunuchs and maids who were waiting on the side.

Emperor Chong saw his thoughts in his eyes, and waved at Gao Jiu casually.

Gao Jiu understood, and led a few young eunuchs, and the little maids exited the imperial study respectfully.

In an instant, only Chongdi and Dou Wei were left in Luoda's imperial study room. Of course, Chongdi's personal guards were also hidden in the dark.

Emperor Chong stared at Dou Wei with a pair of deep eyes, and said seriously: "Dou Qing's family, what's the matter, now we can talk about it."

As soon as Chongdi finished speaking, Dou Wei fell to his knees with a plop.

There was no sound in the imperial study room, except for the crisp sound of two kneecaps hitting the ground, it can be seen how much strength Dou Wei used to kneel.

Emperor Chong seemed to have expected that Dou Wei would make such a move. Seeing him kneeling on the ground, the expression on his face did not change at all.

Dou Wei endured the pain between his knees, raised his head for a while, looked at Emperor Chong, and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Xiao'er and Yun'er this time for the sake of the Dou family's loyalty to the imperial court for generations. "

There was a strong sense of sadness in his tone, and at the moment, he looked like a loving father.

Emperor Chong listened to Dou Wei's words word by word, secretly trying to figure out what Dou Wei was thinking at the moment.

He looked straight at Dou Wei, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked rather embarrassed, and said: "Dou Aiqing, withholding military pay, is a serious crime. If I don't punish severely, how can I uphold the morale of the army, how can I secure the people, and why should I confess to thousands of soldiers? .”
