Dou Ying is the nephew of Han Jingdi's mother Dou Taihou. Why was he killed when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power?

Dou Ying is the son of his cousin Dou Taihou, and Dou Taihou is the mother of Emperor Han Jing and Dou Taihou's nephew. When Emperor Han Jing was in power, Dou Ying came out as an official because of his consorts. In the rebellion between the Seven Kingdoms and Wu Chu, Dou Ying was appointed as a general because he was the only talented person among the consorts, guarding Xingyang, the main road from the State of Wu in Chu to Chang 'an, and was responsible for supervising various rebel teams. At that time, Qiu Zhou Yafu was fighting at the front line and on the second line.

After the Seven-State Rebellion with Wu Chu was pacified, Dou Ying was named Wei Qihou for his work, and he began to be a dignitary. At that time, there were two powerful people in North Korea, one was Qiu Zhou Yafu, who became powerful because of his outstanding military exploits, and the other was a general who became powerful because of his consort's status and talent. That's what people do. When you become a powerful person, there are more people around you, and of course there are more right and wrong.

Dou Ying later became the teacher of Liu Rong, the prince of the Han Dynasty, which became a turning point in Dou Ying's official career and doomed his future fate. Liu Rong was the first prince in the Han Dynasty. Because his mother rejected the idea of the marriage of Guan Tao, a sister of the Han Dynasty, and was resented by Princess Guan Tao, Princess Guan Tao married another concubine of the Han Dynasty, Wang Hao, the mother of the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Both sides jointly framed Rong and his mother in front of the Han Dynasty.

Finally, Emperor Liu Rong was abolished and Wang Miao's son Liu Che was appointed as the Prince. At that time, Dou Ying, the teacher of the Prince, argued with the Emperor Liu Rong and opposed the abolition of the Prince. Dou Ying once failed to recover from illness on the grounds of this incident, so she gradually drifted away from Jingdi. Although Dou Ying went back and forth to the court, he was no longer loved by Jingdi.

At that time, Dou Taihou, the mother of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, strongly recommended Dou Ying as the prime minister of Emperor Jing, but Emperor Jing always disagreed. Even Zhou Yafu later became the prime minister of Jingdi, but Dou Ying didn't. Jingdi would rather go against his mother's wishes than take Dou Ying as a phase. The reason given by Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty is that Dou Ying is "conceited and frivolous".

After the death of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty, Liu Che succeeded to the throne as emperor, and used his uncle Tian powder as a phase, and Tian powder gradually declined. Although Dou Taihou was still here at this time and lived with Emperor Wu for six years, the Doushi family had begun to decline, and the most capable people began to be despised, let alone others, and the consorts of Emperor Wu's mother began to become dignitaries, such as Tian Fan, a half-brother.

If Dou Ying keeps a low profile and doesn't become an official in the imperial court, he will be rich for the rest of his life. However, Dou Ying made a friend named Guan Fu, who is a reckless person. He was named a corps commander because of his bravery and good fighting in the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. After the war, he also served as a national representative, a satrap of Huaiyang and a servant, but Guan Fu didn't.

Another time, because I was drunk, I beat Dou Fu, the Wei of Changle Palace. This man is Dou Taihou's brother. Because of this, Guan Fu was transferred by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to be an official of Yan State, and later lost his official position because of breaking the law and lived in Chang 'an. At the same time, because of Guan Fu's behavior, some North Korean ministers hated him. Who wants to be with someone who makes trouble after drinking and often loses his official position because of breaking the law?

Irrigation is also depressing. I always wanted to make a comeback. I happened to meet the declining Dou Ying, so they became friends, helped each other and both wanted to make a comeback. The irrigation is noisy again, because drinking at a palace banquet. This time, Irrigation thought that someone had neglected Dou Ying, and the irrigation station came out to support Dou Ying. As a result, the Prime Minister Tian Fen, the General Cheng Wu and the Duke Guan Xian were offended at once.

After that, Prime Minister Tian Fen detained the irrigator. Dou Ying wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to save the irrigators, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked his ministers to come with him. Han Anguo, an ancient counselor, didn't offend either side, so he kicked the ball to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Chunyu Kun, Ji An and Zheng Dangshi all thought that Dou Ying was right. Emperor Wu acted very angry. He was obviously in favor of Tian Fen, and the Empress Dowager Wang Miao put pressure on his younger brother Tian Fen, so he put pressure on Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, even though the Empress Dowager didn't put pressure on him.

Dou Ying wrote to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in prison, saying that Han Jing had a testamentary edict and wrote:

If you encounter anything inconvenient for you, you can improvise and report your opinion to the emperor.

In order to prevent the imperial edict, the imperial court kept a copy of the imperial edict, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the imperial edict issued during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but found nothing. This was tantamount to Dou Ying cheating the emperor, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty executed Dou Ying on the charge of cheating the monarch with the imperial edict. Originally, it was a small matter, but Dou Ying died inexplicably.

The question now is: Is Dou Ying really an imperial edict? Doesn't he know that Jiao Zhao is guilty of deceiving the monarch and will be beheaded?

Looking back on Dou Ying, he was a man without a plan, and he was very honest and frank. This can be seen from what he said at the family dinner with Emperor Han Jingdi. Emperor Jing of Han held a family dinner for Liu Wu and Dou Taihou in Liang Wang, and said at the banquet that he would pass on his position as emperor to his younger brother Liu Wu in Liang Wang. As a result, Dou Ying immediately opposed it and did not hesitate to offend Dou Taihou. This is just a joke of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty is a very shrewd emperor and comes from Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. It is impossible to pass the throne to Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and Dou Ying can pretend not to hear it. This is the emperor's family affairs, and it is not convenient for Dou Ying to talk about it, but Dou Ying is too honest and frank, so he just said it. At this time, Emperor Han Jing still had a good impression on Dou Ying.

Until later, Dou Ying opposed the replacement of the prince by Emperor Han Jing because of his honesty and frankness. At this time, Dou Ying was disgusted by Emperor Han Jing and fell out of power. Later, Dou Ying was no longer hated by Han Jing. How could Emperor Han Jing send such a letter to Dou Ying before he died? If Dou Ying didn't lie, then Emperor Han Jing did something. I would rather believe what Dou Ying said than what Emperor Han Jing said.

Including Dou Ying and Guan Fu, who made friends with many people and even put themselves in Guan Fu's shoes to save him. We can see that Dou Ying is an emotional person. Such people are good friends, but they are not good at being officials and doing things. They are too honest and frank to offend people. They still don't feel anything. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was obviously partial to Tian Fen, and he lost his temper at the trial meeting with the minister who supported Dou Ying, indicating that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no good opinion of Dou Ying.

If Dou Ying lied about the Jiao Zhao incident, if it is not true, doesn't he know what the consequences are? Originally, this was just a small matter. If the irrigator is killed, he will be killed, and it will not implicate Dou Ying himself. If Dou Ying lied, it would be suicide. Why bother him? Pour sewage on yourself? I really can't figure out Dou Ying's motives and reasons for lying.

The reason behind this is either what Emperor Jing did or what Emperor Wu did. Because they are emperors, it is easy to destroy the imperial edict, and then use it as evidence to sentence Dou Ying to death. Because both Emperor Jing and Emperor Wu have motives and reasons for killing, the emperor can kill as long as he doesn't like the minister. Think about the death of Chao Cuo, an ancient imperial physician in Jingdi period. Think about how many prime ministers died in Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and you will understand.
