Although the official word has two mouths, when facing the people, you can show your fangs, but there are also difficulties in being an official, only by covering the upper side and holding it on the bottom, you can mix steadily, so when you are mixed with the people, most of them have become human spirits, and Dou Huaizhen of the Tang Dynasty is an example.
After all, being at the height of the temple, looking up to see the dragon face, looking down is the mouth of the people eating, the person sandwiched in the middle must be like walking on thin ice, fortunately, on the way to promotion, he has already cultivated the thick skin of the city wall, and dou Huaizhen is absolutely not concerned, he even deliberately greeted the power in order to keep the official position, in order to win trust, the old lady sent by the other party He also accepted it all, this matter was cited as a joke in the future generations, and the story should start from Dou Huaizhen's origin.
Although the Tang Dynasty has opened the imperial examination, but want to be an official, the famous and prestigious clan can always start first, so under the protection of the Dou family, he has long been exercising at the grassroots level, when he was a Qinghe County Order, when he was young, Dou Huaizhen saw that the Tang Dynasty was like the sun in the sky, the people were rich, and there were also some ambitions, he lived and worked extremely self-disciplined, and got a lot of praise in office, but with the promotion of the way, the official habits also began to soak him into an old fritter, the closer to the core of power, the more obsessed, gradually, he forgot the original intention, he began to take the initiative to meet the magnates of all walks of life, Take the upper route and practice the pat on the back to the highest level.
The Tang Empire was controlled by many forces, there were Li Tang sect relatives, there was the power of Wei Hou, of course, there was wu sansi of the wu family, most of the hundred officials above the court were serving the three forces, since Wu Zetian, the palace fighting did not stop, but more intense, Empress Wei single-handedly controlled the harem, Emperor Li Xian has become a plaything in the palm of his hand, once Dou Huaizhen came to the harem to see Empress Wei, there was an example of Wu Zetian in front of him, this empress had a kind of learning, and regarded herself as the second wu zetian, Dou Huaizhen understood in her heart, He will never miss this opportunity to pat himself on the back.
In front of Wei Hou's face, he said that he had changed his name, and since then he has been called Dou Congyi, it turned out that after he had done many things, he learned that Empress Wei's father was called Wei Xuanzhen, and there was also a zhen character in his name, in order to avoid secrecy, so he took the initiative to change his name, as a generation of power, how could he not know that dou Huaizhen was suspicious? However, using an obedient dog always takes precedence over a capable dog, and in this way, Dou Huaizhen smoothly sat on the prime minister.
Once, in order to test his loyalty, Empress Wei instigated Li Xianzhi to marry at a banquet, and the emperor said at the banquet, "I heard that your wife has been dead for many years, and I have chosen a new partner for you to prepare for marriage, and today you will meet." ", Dou Huaizhen did not drink much, as soon as he heard that the emperor wanted to reward his wife, he was overjoyed, who knew that the person came to the front only to find that it was the empress's nursing mother Wang Shi, who was over sixty years old at this time, old and ugly, but this was difficult for Dou Huaizhen, that less than 2/3 of a second, he quickly showed a smile of 8 teeth, and thanked the emperor.
Empress Wei was willing to give her nursing mother to herself, and in the future it would be a family, in those years, Dou Huaizhen really became the head of the hundred officials, quite powerful, but people are not as good as heaven, the Li family is secretly plotting to get rid of Empress Wei, and before long, Li Longji's soldiers rushed into the palace, a bloody coup made Dou Huaizhen lose his master, when he got the news, he quickly beheaded the Wang clan with his old and spicy official intuition, and personally held the head to see the Princess Taiping, so as to save the official position, the old Book of Tang records: "Princess Hui Taiping, Dou Huaizhen secretly formed a murderous party and plotted to depose the emperor. ”
However, the climate of the temple changed in a blink of an eye, and within two years, Li Longji and his aunt Princess Taiping staged the ultimate duel, Dou Huaizhen took the wrong side this time, and finally he was treated as Princess Yu Dang of Taiping, and was given death by Tang Xuanzong with an edict, and the tangtang chancellor fell on the road to chase power.
