Three Kingdoms: Unlimited Premium Gift Pack

But Dou Miao herself was splashed with dirty water by Liu Yan.Become a jealous, cruel and vicious woman?

How cruel!

Bravo!

Liu Yan's light counterattack made him unable to eat and walk around!

What kind of enemy did I provoke?

In just an instant, Dou Miaozhi felt as if a basin of cold water poured down her head in winter, from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet!

Chapter 129 When the empress dowager bows her head and admits defeat

It turns out that Liu Yan has such means and strength! "

Dou Miao sat down with a slumped face.

It wasn't until now that she realized that compared with Liu Yan, she was not the one with the advantage.If you continue to go down with Liu Yan, the loser is likely to be... yourself!

……

"It turns out that Champion Hou would rather marry Zou's daughter than me. It's not because he doesn't like me, but because of this!"

Dou Chan used to only know that the reason why her sister revealed that she wanted to betroth herself to Liu Yan was to lure Liu Yan into Luoyang to kill him, but she didn't know the specific reason.

She is self-righteous, Liu Yan has a strong army in his hands, and is in charge of the military and political power in Xiliang. His power in Xiliang is like an emperor, and he is very much feared by the court.

Unexpectedly, this matter would also involve such personal grievances.

For a moment, Dou Chan felt a little sweet and a little relieved.

……

The two sisters had their own thoughts, and the hall was silent.

……

Suddenly, eunuch Wang Fu came in.

"Reporting to the Queen, the General is begging to see you!"

"My lord father is here? Hurry up! Invite him in!"

"Yes!"

Not much effort, General Dou Wu, the father of Dou Miao and Dou Chan, walked into the hall under the guidance of Wang Fu.

This is a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, with a burly figure, slender eyebrows and long eyes, a broad nose and a long face, and three long beards floating in the air.

"Chen Dou Wu, see the Queen Mother!"

"Father, please stand up and sit down quickly."

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

"I don't know why my lord father came here today?"

Dou Wu took out a newspaper from his sleeve pocket, and said, "Of course I'm here for Liu Yan, Shepherd of Xiliang Prefecture."

"Liu Yan?" Dou Miao's eyes lit up, and she said, "Could it be, my lord, is there any way to deal with Liu Yan?"

"Uh..." Dou Wu glanced around, hesitated to speak.

Dou Miao understood, waved her hands, and said, "You all go down!"

"Yes."

The eunuchs and maids who served all retreated.There were only three father and daughter of the Dou family left in the house.

Dou Miao couldn't wait to say: "Liu Yan distributing newspapers and ruining his daughter's reputation is really insane and extremely hateful. I don't know how to deal with Liu Yan, my lord father? Hurry up and tell my daughter."

However, Dou Wu shook his head slightly, and said: "Sorry, there is no good way to deal with Liu Yan as a father. But you, the Queen Mother, should find a way to ease the relationship with Liu Yan."

"What?" Dou Miao was a little unhappy at the time, and said, "Even my lord father is afraid of Liu Yan, so he doesn't dare to support his daughter?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of Liu Yan, and it's not that I don't dare to support you. It's just..." Dou Wu sighed, and said earnestly: "Miaoer, why are you so confused? Do you know that our Dou family is now dead? Dangerous! Do you know that the biggest enemy of our Dou family has never been Liu Yan!"

Ever since Dou Miao entered the palace as Liu Zhi's empress, Dou Wu never called her "Miaoer" again, let alone said a word of disrespect.

Now, Dou Wu said these words, although the tone is not too heavy.But for Dou Miao, it was a solemn tone unprecedented in ten years.

She immediately paid more attention to it than ever before, and said seriously: "Then father thinks, where does the danger of our Dou family come from? Who is the biggest enemy of our Dou family?"

Although there are only three fathers and daughters in the hall.

However, Dou Wu still looked around subconsciously.Then, he lowered his voice and said, "The biggest danger for our Dou family comes from the emperor! The biggest enemy of our Dou family is the eunuch!"

"Why?" Dou Miao was puzzled, and said, "Emperor, I'm just a 13-year-old kid now. Eunuchs, I can kill them with just a word. Why are they in danger?"

"Hmph, are eunuchs and emperors not dangerous?" Dou Wu sneered, "That's what the Empress Dowager Liang thought back then! The ancestor of our Dou family, Empress Zhang De, also thought so at the beginning! What happened to these two empress dowagers? How, Miao Er, you don’t know, do you?”

"Empress Dowager Liang, Empress Dowager Dou?"

After being reminded by Dou Wu, Dou Miao shivered suddenly.

Of course she knew the fate of these two empress dowagers!

The Empress Dowager Liang was fine. Before she died, the Liang family was still firmly in control of the government.However, not long after the Queen Mother Liang's death, Emperor Liu Zhi and the eunuchs staged a coup and wiped out the "dominant general" Liang Ji's clan!

Queen Zhang De and Empress Dowager Dou were even worse.Dou Miao's family and Dou Wu's family are just the same family of Dou Xian, not direct descendants.

When Empress Dou Dou, Queen Zhang De, was alive, the general and champion Hou Dou Xian's family were suddenly attacked by the emperor and killed Dou Xian's family.

What happened when the emperor was young?

Will he grow up in a few years?

What's more, the emperor Liu Hong is now thirteen, and he is already very young.In another two years, he will be able to take Yuanfu.Wouldn't he be eager to destroy the Dou family and grasp the supreme power?

Eunuchs, so what if Queen Mother Dou can be killed casually?

Eunuchs without the emperor's support are like a group of ants in front of Dou Miao.But with the support of the emperor, the eunuchs are a group of wolves who can devour her and the Dou family at any time!

In fact, during most of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs and relatives alternated in power.

Not a single relative will end up well in the end!I, the Dou family, why should I make an exception?

The more Dou Miao thought about it, the more frightened she became, her complexion turned pale, and she shuddered... shuddering!

Dou Wu looked at his words, nodded slightly and said: "Miaoer, do you understand? Compared with the threats of the emperor and eunuchs, the conflict between you and Liu Yan is nothing more than a child's play. .

On the contrary, building a good relationship with Liu Yan and giving our Dou family one more foreign aid from foreign princes is our top priority. "

"Do you have a good relationship with Liu Yan..."

Knowing Liu Yan's powerful strength and the very real threat in front of him, even the queen mother had to bow her head and admit defeat.

Dou Miao was unwilling and aggrieved and said: "It's not impossible to have a good relationship with Liu Yan. But, the matter has come to this, how can we convince Liu Yan of our sincerity?"

Dou Wudao: "First, quickly issue an edict to restore Liu Yan's post as the General of the Conquest of the West and restore the establishment of the Jingyang Camp."

Dou Miao nodded and said, "This is as it should be."

Liu Yan himself didn't care about the position of General Zhengxi and the establishment of the Jingyang camp, and Dou Miao didn't care much.

Dou Wu continued: "Secondly, restore Liu Yan's title of Champion Marquis."

Dou Miao smiled wryly and said, "Everyone outside calls Liu Yan the champion, how can I go against the will of the people and be a villain in vain? But, my lord, can I reconcile with Liu Yan with these two things alone?"

Dou Wudao: "The first two things are of little benefit to Liu Yan, they are just a little bit of our sincerity. The key to the matter depends on...the third and fourth things."

"Then what's the third one?"

Chapter 130

Dou Wudao: "Thirdly, the feud between Dong Zhuo and Liu Yan is known all over the world. In order to show sincerity, please make an order from the Queen Mother to seal Liu Yan as Liangzhou Shepherd and take over the military and political power in Liangzhou from now on."

"Then what about Dong Zhuo?"

"Transfer him to Bingzhou and become a governor."

Bingzhou is of course bigger than Dongliangzhou.

However, Dong Zhuo, the Dongliang State Shepherd, was established in comparison with Liu Yan's Xiliang State Shepherd. He took over the military and political power of Dongliang, and he was simply the emperor of Dongliang State.

What about the governor of Bingzhou?It was only superficially that he obtained the administrative power of Bingzhou and became a senior official sent by the Han court to supervise Bingzhou.

The difference in strength between the two sides is simply one in the sky and the other in the ground.

"Poor Dong Zhuo..." Dou Miao sighed softly, and said, "I'm afraid he is still actively plotting to be an enemy of Liu Yan, but he didn't expect that we have already planned to hand over his territory to Liu Yan to curry favor with Liu Yan. "

"Hmph, Dong Zhuo is just a small person. It is his honor to have the opportunity to serve our Dou family. What is there to be pitiful about?"

Dou Wu didn't pay attention to Dong Zhuo's feelings at all, and said: "Let me talk about the fourth point, which is also the most important: I am going to marry your younger sister, Chan'er, to Liu Yan as my concubine!"

"what!"

Hearing this, Dou Chan exhaled in shock.

Dou Miao stared wide-eyed, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and said, "Father, are you all right? The younger sister of the empress dowager, the daughter of the great general, can only be Liu Yan's concubine?

If this really happens... Where will you put your daughter's face, your own face, and the face of the Han court? "

"Of course I won't do this blatantly." Dou Wu was prepared and confident: "I will send someone to Xiliang to propose marriage to Liu Yan. After Liu Yan agrees, I will secretly send Chan'er to Xiliang cold.

In this way, it not only made Liu Yan believe in the sincerity of my Dou family, but also saved the face of our Dou family, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. "

"Then... that's not acceptable either!" Dou Miao still felt unacceptable, and said, "Even if we want to reconcile with Liu Yan, it's not necessary, should we make it to this extent?"

"It's still necessary."

Dou Wudao: "Let me ask you, if you have always been the queen mother and the general for your father, my Dou family has always maintained wealth. Even if Chan'er is just a concubine, will Liu Yan treat him like a concubine?"

"Of course not. But what if our Dou family... just in case, falls?"

Dou Wudao: "I will let your younger brother Yuan Zuo escort Chan'er to Xiliang and marry Liu Yan. After Yuan Zuo arrived in Xiliang, he will not come back. He will serve under Liu Yan. In case my Dou family Defeat...hehe, look at the world, except Liu Yan, who can preserve the blood of my Dou family?"

"I understand!"

Dou Miao suddenly realized, and finally understood the real intention of her father's insistence on marrying her younger sister Dou Chan to Liu Yan as a concubine—taking Xiliang as the last retreat for the Dou family!

No need to ask, this is the inspiration my father got from Tian Sheng.

Liu Yan would rather offend the empress dowager, but also protect the late emperor's woman Tian Sheng.There is no reason not to protect my concubine's family!

One daughter is a concubine to preserve the family blood.

This deal is simply very cost-effective!

"But... but..." Dou Miao was finally moved, looked at Dou Chan, and said, "In this case, is it wronged my sister too much? Sister, what do you say?"

"I?"

Dou Chanxia fluttered her cheeks and said, "Marriage matters, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, are all decided by the father."

"Haha, that's it for now!"

Dou Wu said happily: "After I go back, I will send someone to take your portrait to Xiliang to discuss this marriage with Liu Yan. I don't believe it. My daughter of the Dou family is so outstanding that even the queen has produced several .Liu Yan, can he not be tempted?"

"Father!"

Dou Chan snorted, feeling infinitely shy.

Dou Wu was so preoccupied that he didn't take his little daughter's feelings into consideration.

Soon, his smile faded, and he continued to say to Dou Miao: "Everything is not expected to win, but to be defeated first. Once Chan'er's marriage is settled, my Dou family will have a final retreat. Now, we should discuss how to win gone."

"Win?" Dou Miao said thoughtfully, "My lord father wants to change to a younger emperor? It's not easy, is it?"

Dou Wu waved his hand and said: "The emperor has not lost his virtue. We abolished the establishment without authorization, but we lost all hearts. Besides, what if we change to a younger emperor? After a few years, he will grow up. "

"Then Father means..."

"For my father, I want to draw my salary from the bottom of the pot!" Dou Wudao: "Miao Er, think about it, it is not easy to deal with the emperor, but it is very simple to deal with the eunuchs! Moreover, the emperor did not rely on the power of the eunuchs to eradicate his relatives.

So, let's just stop doing it and kill all the eunuchs!An emperor without eunuchs is like a tiger without minions, there is no threat! "

"Ah? Execute the eunuchs?"

Only then did Dou Miao understand what her father Dou Wu's plan was: to kill all the eunuchs so that the emperor would never be able to take back the supreme power from the hands of the Dou family.

But then again, is it that simple?

She hesitated and said, "My father's idea was suggested by those scholars, right? But, has father ever thought that there are now three pillars in the court: eunuchs, relatives, and scholars. The eunuchs are in power, and the relatives and scholars jointly deal with them .
