He was definitely a well-deserved boss in the political circle of the Western Han Dynasty: he was not only a veteran of the three dynasties, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu, but also the number one foreign relative of Mrs. Dou when he was alive, because he was Mrs. Dou's

wei Qihou Who is Dou Ying? That is definitely the well-deserved boss in the political circle of Western Han Dynasty: is not only a veteran of the three dynasties that have gone through Emperor Wen , Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu , but also the number one foreign relative of Mrs. Dou when she was alive, because he was Mrs. Dou's nephew. A civil servant is the prime minister who has served as the leader of all officials; a military officer has served as the supreme general.

The key is that Dou Ying, a high-powered relative, is really not a fancy way. people need to make contributions, be capable, and behave with character. He was a great hero in quelling the "Hyper Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" and once served as the Xingyang , presided over and directed the work of quelling the rebellion in Qi and Zhao. He is capable of being civil and military, and his popularity and reputation are quite good.

However, this is the first prime minister of the Han Emperor Wu of , such a powerful figure, who was publicly beheaded by Emperor Wu of Han on December 30, 131 BC on the charge of "forging the edict of the late emperor".

So, Dou Ying’s death is the impermanence of the world? Or is it a carefully designed trap? I believe that after reading this article, you will have a new understanding of the various aspects of the world and the warmth of human feelings.

The general process of Dou Ying being killed

In 135 BC, Old Mrs. Dou left the people of the Western Han Dynasty prematurely. It was from this time that Wei Qihou Dou Ying, who had been living a very comfortable life, began to have a difficult time, and even quietly decided that he would go to a dead end.

After the old lady Dou left, Emperor Wu of Han began to take power. This emperor, who is known as the "Sun God", is not a good person. His first thing after he took power was to dismiss Prime Minister Xuchang and censor Zhuang Qingzhai on the spot, because he did not do a good job in mourning for the Empress Dowager.

Look at it, how easy it is for the emperor to get someone? is a good idea to get all kinds of reasons.

Emperor Wu of Han took the position of "two dukes" among the former prime minister and the censor, so he naturally had to arrange his own people to take office. As a result, he pushed his uncle Tianfen to the position of prime minister and appointed the Grand Secretary gang Han Anguo as the censor.

Han Emperor Wu's personnel adjustment actually released a very strong political signal, that is that he wants to completely marginalize Dou Ying. Why do you say so? Dou Ying was the first prime minister during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. He was dismissed from his post because he helped Emperor Wu of Han implement the "New Policy on Jianyuan" and was idle at home. Now that Emperor Wu of Han has begun to take power, should he be compensated for it? However, Emperor Wu of Han seemed to remember this person at all. Isn’t his intention obvious?

Of course, from a political perspective, this cannot be entirely blamed by Emperor Wu of Han, but only Dou Ying is blamed by Dou family. Once the emperor and the ministers, Old Mrs. Dou passed away, Wang Zhi The Queen Mother took over, and the relatives of Dou surname must give up their positions to the relatives of the Wang family.

After Emperor Wu of Han sent such a strong signal, ministers and prominent figures in the capital expressed their receipt, and they began to neglect the former boss Dou Ying even more.

An old cadre like Dou Ying who retreated to the second line is easily lost. because of the warmth and coldness of human feelings, he feels cold and cold in his heart. But he was powerless to do anything about it.

But what? There are exceptions in everything. Just when everyone was hiding from Dou Ying's departure, an old comrade named Guan Fu often went to Dou Ying's house to drink and chat with Dou Ying. Therefore, Guanying and Guan Fu quickly became a hot group, and the two became confidants of each other and were like father and son.

Here we should tell you a truth carefully: when people lose power, don’t make friends randomly. Because most friends in the Vanity Fair rely heavily on interests to bind you, since you have lost your power, it will be difficult for you to satisfy the other party’s true demands, and in the end you will easily become a garbage brother.

Dou Ying and Guan Fu are both together all day long. In fact, it is not because of the similar smells, and they are all their own little ones behind them. Dou Ying valued the husband, and wanted to disgust and retaliate against those who were attracted by the indifference: Look at the husband, they value love and righteousness, pure man, it is worth dating! Guan Fu flattered Dou Ying because he wanted to take the opportunity to increase his value and get to know more powerful people: Look at me Guan Fu, he values ​​love and friendship, pure man, worth dating!

Both frustrated people who were not satisfied with their lives were using an extremely fragile and childish way to share the same illness and keep warm. They should actually realize that it is difficult for them to prosper, but they are extremely prone to loss. As expected, Dou Ying died so quickly in the end, and the direct inducement was that Guan Fu helped him to attract hatred everywhere.

Guan Fu actually always wanted to make friends with Tian Fu, but after Tian Fu became the prime minister, he began to take off completely. He usually has a little overly high-mindedness and doesn't really like Guan Fu.

Moreover, the method used by a person like Guan Fu is not very correct. The key is that if he fails to achieve his goal, he will feel quite resentful.

Once, Guan Fu visited Tian Fu during the mourning period. This incident makes people feel a little embarrassed. Wouldn’t it make people feel unlucky when you go to visit others in mourning clothes? Tian Fu was a little unhappy, but after all, the visitor was a guest, and he did not have a direct attack. Instead, he teased Guan Fu casually: "I originally wanted to visit Wei Qihou with you, but you are still mourning, which is not convenient."

Guan Fu heard that the Prime Minister gave me such face, but he didn't hear Tian Fu's voice outside the painting. people are tactfully reminding you not to run to other people's houses during mourning! was very excited and volunteered to go to Dou Ying's house to report the news, asking Dou Ying to prepare well.

Tian Fu saw that it was already like this, so he could only agree casually.

Results, the next day, Dou Ying's family had a lot of fun cooking cows and slaughtering sheep, and Guan Fu was waiting for the big trip at Dou Ying's house early. However, Tian Fen's figure has not appeared for a long time.

It was not until noon that Dou Ying began to say to Guan Fu in self-doubt, "Has the Prime Minister forgotten this?"

What's ridiculous is that at this time Guan Fu actually remembered that he was still mourning, and said to Dou Ying angrily: " I Guan Fu did not dislike mourning and responded to his appointment. It was too much for him to give face. "

So, Guan Fu, who was uneasy, drove to Tian Fu's house in person and wanted to take Tian Fu over.

, Tian Fu, who was not interested in attending the banquet, was still sleeping at this time, and now he was caught up by Guan Fu, so he had to drive there slowly.

However, Guan Fu felt that Tian Fu's intentional procrastination and dragging attitude was too hurting his self-esteem, and he became even more angry.

When the banquet begins, Guan Fu, who usually likes to vent his anger on wine, gets drunk unknowingly. The drunk Guan Fu began to dance gracefully, and after the dance, he took the initiative to invite Tian Fu. Tian Fu felt that this was too naive and didn't give him face and didn't get up.

Guan Fu started to get angry again. How could it be so difficult to curry favor with Tian Fu? never gave me face every time, so he began to use to mock Tian Feng.

Dou Ying saw that if this matter continues, he will cause a big disaster sooner or later, so he quickly helped Guanfu away and apologized to Tian Fu.

Later, Tian Fen fell in love with a piece of land at Dou Ying's house. He became more and more distracted from eating, so he directly sent someone to ask Dou Ying for it. This made Dou Ying, who had always had a good temper, unable to stand it and was furious: "Although I have retreated to the second line now, although you are just popular, you are not so bold and bullied by your power, right? You will never give it!" If you don't give it, don't give it to me if you don't give it to me, Dou Ying is an old leader after all. Although she has retreated to the second line, her status is there, and Tian Fu dares not do anything directly.

However, Guan Fu, who was not interested in the big deal, was not willing to be lonely and grabbed the subordinates sent by Tian Fen to the land to curse him.

Later, Tian Fu found out about this and started to get angry, saying, " Wei Qihou's son once killed someone, and I saved his life.And it turns out that when I was a subordinate of Wei Qihou, I basically responded to him. Now he is reluctant to leave these hectares of fields? Besides, what does have to do with Guan Fu? Why should he interfere?

Tian Fu is also a complete villain. After Guan Fu and Dou Ying were resentful, they started to cause trouble.

Tian Fu reported that Emperor Wu of Han obtained the consent of Emperor Wu of Han, he set up a special task force to investigate Guan Fu was fishing and tyrannical in his hometown and domineering the people. What happened. Once this matter was verified, Emperor Wu of Han, who had been cracking down on local tyrants, would never be ruthless, Guan Fu basically lived to the end.

However, Guan Fu was not a good-looking lamp. directly took out the past that Tian Fu had personally taught and received with the King of Huainan to threaten. It was a major event involving "conspiracy to rebel", and Tian Fu couldn't bear it.

As a result, in order to avoid losing both sides, these two people actually asked people to mediate in and temporarily reconciled.

Judging from this matter, Guan Fu's political skills and consciousness are actually not very clever. Since you have completely broken up with Tian Fu and are holding a handle that can put him to death, what are you doing to reconcile with him? Do you think Tian Fu will really reconcile with you? he will definitely want to do it. Fakuai Kill yours in a mess!

People like Guan Fu who likes to drink and go crazy by drinking will not let his opponent wait for a long time.

In the summer of this year, Tian Feng married the daughter of the King of Yan as his wife. In order to support the scene for his younger brother, the Queen ordered Lehou and the royal family to come and support them.

Guan Fu, who was neither Lehou nor a royal relative, could have not gone to drink this wedding banquet, but he himself felt that he had completely offended Tian Fu, so he didn't want to go. But Dou Ying wanted to ease his relationship with Tian Fu out of kindness, so he forced him to go.

As a result, Guan Fu went to the wedding banquet and saw that everyone was respectful to Tian Fu, but he was a little bit loving to Dou Ying. He was ignoring his mind, and he started to feel uncomfortable again, and he started to drink and go crazy again.

first forced to toast Tian Fu and wanted to have a sip with his leader, but he didn't know that Tian Fu didn't give him face at all. Then, he continued to toast with anger. When he was polite to Guanxian, Linru Hou Guanxian, Guan Xianzheng and the famous general Cheng Buzhi chatted with him and did not see him.

Guan Fu saw that Guan Xian ignored him, so he turned straight Responding to the scolding, saying that Guan Xian usually belittles Cheng Buzhi so much, right? Now I'll come to toast you, but you are like a woman, lying on Cheng Buzhi's ears and chatting about gossip! What to pretend?

Tian Fu saw that the opportunity came, and immediately grabbed Guan Fu's words and started to set the rhythm, saying that Guan Fu's insults and Li Guang , Cheng Bushi, who is also the East and West Palace Guards, is just insulting Li Guang. also brought out the two big bosses behind them, Emperor Wu of Han and Empress Dowager Wang.

, and Guan Fu, who became crazy, did not care about so many, continued to be drunk and shouted : "Today you just killed me, I am not afraid, Cheng Bushi and Li Guang are not afraid? "

Baike saw that the matter was getting worse. In order to avoid causing trouble, all left the venue early. Dou Ying quickly signaled Guan Fu to run quickly.

However, Tian Fu, who was smashed, was angry and embarrassed. In addition, Guan Fu held his handle and had to kill him. So, on the grounds that this banquet was held under the name of the Queen Mother, Guan Fu smashed the Queen Mother's venue, he immediately sent Guan Fu to the prison. He also dug out the old accounts of Guan Fu's fish and meat village and sent people to the capital city to Yingchuan arrested Guan Fu's family and subordinates, and were all punished for death.

Although Guan Fu had Tian Fu's handle, he could not submit evidence at all.

When he saw that his only Tie Ge fell into such a field, Dou Ying tried every means to rescue Guan Fu. But whether he spent money to clear the relationship between Tian Fu or personally went to Emperor Wu of Han to plead with mercy, it was not easy in the end and even brought himself in.

Han Jingdi has commented on Dou Ying: self-righteous and impulsive. Dou Ying rescued Guan Fu at all costs and proved that he was indeed such a person, because Tian Fu was obviously killing Guan Fu, and the Empress Dowager was her own sister, and Emperor Wu of Han was his own nephew. How could you turn the tables?

Later, this incident went to Emperor Wu of Han, and was written by Emperor Wu of Han. First, they threw it out for public discussion for all officials, but the officials who had always been in a position of change basically remained silent, saying that no one was willing to get involved in this kind of fight between gods. Only the famous direct minister Ji An clearly stated that Guan Fu would not die. The censor Han Anguo and the inner historian Zheng said a few ambiguous words at that time.

was so angry that Emperor Wu of Han used Zheng at that time as a punching bag and cursed: "You usually have many reports of Dou Ying and Tian Fen. Now you are asked to express your opinions publicly. You are timid and ! Believe it or not, I will kill you together?" After the meeting, Zheng was demoted at that time.

Later, the Queen Mother Wang, who had already understood the situation, took action. She deliberately pretended to be so angry that she couldn't eat, saying that someone dared to bully her younger brother. If she left, then her younger brother would not be slaughtered?

When Emperor Wu of Han saw that his mother had taken action, he had to convict Guan Fu according to Tian Fu's opinion and sent Dou Ying to prison.

Dou Ying saw that he was detained and Guan Fu was declared convicted. It would be too late to take out any magic weapon. So, asked his nephew to write to Emperor Wu of Han, saying that he had the will of the late emperor, which said: If there is any inconvenience, he can respond to the situation and report it to the emperor.

As a result, Emperor Wu of Han sent someone to check the files. Dou Ying's edict was not archived in the palace at all. The edict of was only hidden in Dou Ying's home and was sealed by Dou Ying's retainer.

Dou Ying was charged with " forgery of the late emperor's edict " and was finally ordered by Emperor Wu of Han to behead him on Weicheng Street and was displayed on public display.

The above is the process of Dou Ying being killed. On the surface, he was naturally taken to the ditch by his good friend Guan Fu, but in fact there are some other things behind it.

Analysis of Dou Ying's cause of death

Dou Ying's cause of death is naturally because of careless friendships on the surface. It was a troll friend like Guan Fu who took him to death step by step. But in fact, the more secret reason may be that Emperor Jing of Han set a dead end for Dou Ying early, and as long as Dou Ying uses that edict one day, he is destined to be unable to escape death.

Do you still remember that when the emperor of later generations wanted to kill Heshen , Heshen's concubine took Qianlong's edict to save Heshen's life. But when she opened it, she saw that the words "Leave the whole body" was written?

This move played by Emperor Jing of Han is even more ruthless than Qianlong! I deliberately gave you an edict to protect your life, so that you can be fearless, but once you use this edict and find it unfounded, you will commit the death penalty of deceiving the emperor and not being able to die.

Otherwise, with Emperor Jing of Han, who was mean and ungrateful, it was impossible for him to value Dou Ying, a minister of foreign relatives, so much. Isn’t Yafu’s , which has made a bigger contribution than him, also forced to death by him? , Liang Wang , wasn’t Liu Wu completely abandoned by him in the end? Although Dou Ying is the nephew of , Empress Dowager Dou and is a cousin with Emperor Jing of Han, Emperor Jing of Han is also a relatively heartless person when he plays the art of emperors.

Let’s first analyze why Emperor Jing of Han wanted to kill Dou Ying? The reason is roughly the same as the reason why he killed Zhou Yafu - "This martingale is not the young minister!" , which means that Emperor Jing of Han felt that keeping Dou Ying would be detrimental to his precious son Liu Che .

Why was Emperor Jing of Han so worried about Dou Ying? First, because Dou Ying was the prince's tutor who deposed the prince Liu Rong, and like Zhou Yafu, he was a firm opponent of Emperor Jing of Han's re-establishment of the prince.Second, generations of their Liu family have been fighting for the strengthening of centralization. As the number one foreign relative of his mother's family, if Dou Ying is not eliminated, he is afraid that his power will be too great, and Emperor Wu of Han will not be able to deal with him at that time.

Emperor Jing of Han actually suppressed Dou Ying. For example, when Mrs. Dou wanted to force Dou Ying to be prime minister, Emperor Jing of Han said: "Wei Qi is complacent, it is easy. It is difficult to be a good person, but he is serious." rejected Mrs. Dou, because she was worried that your Dou family was too powerful and that the people of our Liu family would not be able to deal with in the future.

So, why didn’t Emperor Jing of Han directly find a reason to crack Dou Ying, but went to such a long-term situation with great difficulty?

It’s not that Emperor Jing of Han didn’t want to kill Dou Ying directly, but that he really couldn’t kill Dou Ying at that time. : One reason is that his very protective old mother is still there, she is furious, but she has no good life. You should know that the great man paid great attention to the "filial piety culture" at that time; secondly, although Dou Ying liked to show off, he was quite cautious in his words and deeds and did not do anything too out of line. If you killed others without saying a word, it would be difficult for you to make a deal with the people in the world.

Then, everyone will ask again, is it useful to Emperor Jing of Han who dug such a big hole for Dou Ying? What if Dou Ying doesn’t use that edict?

First of all, Emperor Jing of Han would think that if Dou Ying had not used that edict, it would be a good thing in itself. What is the content of the edict? "If things are inconvenient, the price is cheap." If Dou Ying doesn't use it, it means that Dou Ying has not encountered any "inconvenient things". Either Dou Ying has always been honest under his son, or Dou Ying has been dealt with by his son long ago.

Secondly, Emperor Jing of Han felt that Dou Ying would most likely use the fatal edict in the end. Because Dou Ying is a person who likes to show off, such people are generally unwilling to be lonely and will sooner or later cause some "inconvenient things". Why do you say so? Because this is human nature, how many people who are used to the glory can truly learn to clamp their tails and be human? Not to mention when you hold a life-saving talisman in your hand.

In short, Emperor Jing of Han grasped human nature tightly. No matter whether Dou Ying used the last edict or did not use the edict, it would be difficult to make any waves. Anyone who wanted to make a fuss would be dead.

Finally, let me explain why the biggest suspicion of "Dou Ying forged the edict" was the plan set up by Emperor Jing of Han?

In fact, this matter can be proved by exclusion. Dou Ying had an edict in his hand, but there was no archive in the palace. There were basically only a few possibilities in this matter: Dou Ying did forge the edict, Emperor Wu of Han destroyed the edict, Tian Feng arranged for people to destroy the edict, Emperor Wu of Han was deceived by the archive manager, the edict was lost for no reason, Emperor Jing of Han forgot to arrange for archive, or Emperor Jing of Han deliberately did not archive.

Please take a look. Among these possibilities, is the last one the most suspicious? Did Dou Ying dare to forge such an edict in advance during the reign of Emperor Jing of Han? Did Emperor Wu of Han and Tian Fen dare to destroy the edict of the late emperor? Is it necessary for archive managers to commit the crime of deceiving the monarch for such a powerful edict? The royal archives management is so rigorous, will the edict be lost for no reason? Will Emperor Jing of Han forget to arrange the archive? You should know that the emperor's words and deeds are recorded. Even if Emperor Jing of Han really forgot, someone will remind him. Therefore, it is only the most reasonable that Emperor Jing of Han deliberately did not save the file.

I believe everyone will understand here when they see it. How cruel were the ancient imperial arts and Game of Thrones? How deep is the calculation?

Reflection on the reality of Dou Ying's death

Dou Ying's death is a conspiracy arranged in advance, but there is no conspiracy in this world that cannot be solved. Therefore, I hope everyone can understand the following basic principles through Dou Ying's death.

First, when you are in a difficult situation, don’t have too many fantasies about your so-called friends. is a bit cruel, but in most cases it is a good word.

The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. The most stable relationship between people is always a relationship of mutual achievement. Your own energy is limited, which probably determines that it is difficult for you to make any truly valuable friends.

Like Dou Ying, the powerful minister who was neglected by Emperor Wu of Han, whoever has some pursuit and awareness, he will take the initiative to avoid him. What kind of person will take the initiative to get close to him? First, people who seek fame and reputation, the subtext of these people is that I am different from those who are interested in the power. Second, people who share the same illness and pity each other. The subtext of these people is that they are both people who have fallen into the world and comfort each other; third, they are exploring surplus value, and the subtext of these people is that I can't burn the hot stove, nor can I burn it, so I will just burn your cold stove.

Let’s look back, is Guan Fu the person who has both the above three ingredients? Such a person, can you Dou Ying expect him to bring you out of trouble? It was nothing more than deceiving himself to get a little self-comfort from him.

Second, the more you are at the low point in your life, the more you must endure loneliness and know how to clamp your tails and be a human being. is not able to solve any practical problems in most cases because of anxiety and unwillingness, and will only gradually fall into the trap of some people with ulterior motives.

When life or reality forces us into difficulties, it is actually forcing and reminding us to calm down and calmly think about new directions and ways out, so you must endure loneliness and make clear your thoughts.

Dou Ying was so obviously shot into the "cold palace" by Emperor Wu of Han. Everyone consciously avoided you. If you just don't accept it or accept it, what's the use? Don’t you know that behind this signal is waiting to grab your braid? The more you are, the more you should be cautious and keep a low profile. If you catch someone who is willing to interact with someone, you should be loyal and share life and death? Don’t you just feel that you are neglected and want to be respected and flattered? In fact, it is a kind of vanity. Is vanity important or your own destiny important?

In fact, the reason why many of us find it difficult to accomplish or have bad things in the end is that it is difficult for us to overcome the confusion of low-level self-emotional desires.

Third, the more inexplicable the trump card, the more you should not open it easily. Sometimes the situation keeps putting pressure on you, perhaps it is forcing you to open your trump card according to their design.

Attack, it pays attention to taking preemptive action; defense, it pays attention to taking late action, or using static to control action.

You Dou Ying was just imprisoned by Emperor Wu of Han at that time, and Emperor Wu of Han did not directly express what you want to do to you? Why are you so restless? In order to meet Emperor Wu of Han, he directly used the edict of the late emperor. What can you do if you meet Emperor Wu of Han? Can you convince Emperor Wu of Han and save Guan Fu?

's trick should be kept for the last use, of course it is best not to use; the trump card should be kept for the last lift, of course it is best not to need to be turned on.

You just want to release your ultimate move just because Emperor Wu of Han believes that the situation is not true and symbolically put you in jail. Seeing that you were so impatient, Emperor Wu of Han was so unhappy. Even if your edict was true, he could find other ways to kill you in minutes. After all, your edict only allows you to report to the emperor when you act cheaply, not a real gold medal for avoiding death.

Those gamblers who always rush and gamblers are basically the fastest gamblers.

In short, although Dou Ying died a little unfairly, his life was not satisfactory. We still have to reflect on some things that are conducive to improving our own construction from him. Only by constantly learning from other people’s experiences and lessons can we slowly become steady and rational.
