However, it was said that Tian Fu, the Queen Mother's mother's brother, was short in stature, ugly in appearance, and good at flattery. In the past, there was a Queen Mother who was not compatible with Tian Fu. Now she has died of illness, so Tian Fu has to be promoted to the position.

Tian Fu not only controlled the imperial court, but also had the Queen Mother as his internal support, so he was favored by Emperor Wu. Tian Fu relied on his power and accepted bribes to become rich. He bought farmlands and farmland, all of which were anointed land, and built his own home, which was extremely tall.

They also selected beautiful women as concubines, no less than a hundred of them. Princes and officials presented countless gold, jade, treasures, dogs, horses and treasures.

Whenever Tian Fu came to play an important role, his words were often useful, and he often recommended people to be high officials, so he asked for more, which annoyed Emperor Wu. One day, Tian Fu presented a letter of recommendation again, listing more than ten people, and asked Emperor Wu to

Appointment. After Emperor Wu took a brief look at it, he couldn't help but said with a smile, "Aren't you satisfied with the appointment of many officials by my mother-in-law? Let me choose a few people in the future." Tian Fu then stood up and walked out. After that, he built more homes and wanted to test them.

The construction site was enclosed for expansion, and he went back to the court to invite him. Emperor Wu said with consternation: "Why not go straight to the arsenal?" Tian Fu's cheeks turned red after saying this, and he thanked him and retreated. For various reasons, Emperor Wu did not accept Wang Hui's case.

If you are willing to relax, the more the Empress Dowager and her uncle intercede, the more they will execute Wang Hui. Although Tian Fu was powerful, he could not defeat Emperor Wu.

Tian Fu was not only greedy by nature, but also extremely arrogant. He thought he was the prime minister of the dynasty, how noble he was! He was not looked down upon by a group of princes and ministers, and even put on airs in his own home. One day when he was having a banquet with guests, his mother and brother Gaihou Wang Xin

Here, Tian Fu actually sat facing east and asked Wang Xin to sit facing south. He thought that the prime minister had a high position and should not lose his dignity because of his brother. He was so arrogant.

Tian Fu was very proud, but there was a man who was also a relative and a prince. At this time, he lost power and was dwarfed by him. This person was Wei Qihou Dou Ying.

Since the death of Empress Dowager Dou, Dou Ying has been unhappy at home. Now seeing Tian Fu as prime minister, dominating and arrogant, he really can't stand it. Looking back on the early years of Emperor Jing, how powerful he was as a general.

At that time, Tian Fu was a young man and was a lowly official. He would come to visit him every time, or attend banquets, kneel down and show respect, and often hold the courtesy of his sons and nephews. Who knew that times would change, Dou Ying fell, and Tian Fu was promoted. From then on, they no longer interacted with each other, and they were regarded as the same.

Even strangers, a group of relatives and colleagues have changed their attitudes. They only follow the Tian family and have never visited the Dou family. Guan Fu is the only one who maintains friendship and does not change due to the rise and fall.

Guan Fu was famous at that time because of the battle between Wu and Chu. After the war ended, Emperor Jing worshiped Guan Fu as his lieutenant general.

Later, he was dismissed from office and lived in Chang'an. Guan Fu was upright by nature and did not like flattery. He usually paid tribute to the poor and despised the powerful. It was best to reward young and newcomers, but he was addicted to alcohol and made himself angry. He was originally from Yingchuan and had a rich family.

, he was usually good at socializing and cunning, and often had dozens of diners. Guan Fu was away as an official, and the guests of the clan relied on the official to support the local people. The people of Yingchuan also complained that Guan Fu had been away from home for many years and had no time to consult on family affairs.

Guan Fu lived in Chang'an with nothing to do. From time to time he would sit and talk at Dou Ying's place. They were both frustrated and sympathized with each other. Although Tian Fu was powerful at this time, he had no enmity with the two. Who knew that the two would find themselves in a snobbish circle?

, and refused to give in at all, causing disaster.

One day, Guan Fu came to Tian Fu's place for a chat. Tian Fu knew that Guan Fu had a good relationship with Dou Ying, so he casually said, "I want to visit the Marquis of Wei, Zhong Ru, would you like to go with me?" Guan Fu's real name is Zhong Ru,

Tian Fu was just making false words, but Guan Fu responded and said: "The Prime Minister is willing to humiliate the house of Wei Qi, how dare you refuse? I will convey it to Wei Qi and ask him to prepare wine and food. The Prime Minister will come tomorrow morning." Tian Fu agreed. Guan Fu agreed.

After leaving, he went straight to Dou Ying's place to talk to him. Dou Ying was also very happy when he heard the news. He immediately ordered the cook to buy cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and delicacies from the mountains and sea, and prepare a banquet. The whole family was busy all night and did not sleep well.

At dawn, Dou Ying ordered his servants to wait carefully. When he saw the prime minister arriving, he immediately went inside to inform him so that he could come out to greet him. Soon after, Guan Fu got up early and arrived, ready to accompany the prime minister.

At this time, the banquet had been prepared, waiting for Tian Fu to arrive. Unexpectedly, he waited from dawn to noon, but before he saw Tian Fu, Dou Ying asked Guan Fu, "Did the Prime Minister forget about this?" Guan Fu felt very sad when he saw Tian Fu didn't come.

Guan Fu was dissatisfied, so he drove to meet Tian Fu himself. Tian Fu had just made a false promise before, and really had no intention of attending the banquet. When Guan Fu came to the door, Tian Fu was still sleeping.

Guan Fu had to sit and wait, and after a long time Tian Fu came out. Guan Fu greeted him and said, "The Prime Minister promised to go to Wei Qihou's house yesterday, and Wei Qihou and his wife prepared a banquet. They have not dared to eat since dawn." Tian Fu heard that he had pretended to forget.

He said, "I was drunk last night and forgot about it." Then he ordered to drive there.

Dou Ying took Tian Fu into the banquet, and the three of them sat down together. When they were drunk, Guan Fu got up and danced once, asking Tian Fu to dance. Tian Fu sat still. Dou Ying was afraid that Guan Fu would offend Tian Fu, so he

Dou Ying stepped forward hurriedly and said, "Zhong Ru is drunk, so he can rest for a while." Then someone helped Guan Fu out. Dou Ying went to Tian Fu to talk to Guan Fu on his behalf, but Tian Fu remained calm and composed. He drank until midnight.

Return happily.

Tian Fu believed that he was noble, so he agreed to come to Dou Ying's home this time, which was a great favor. After a while, he heard that there were several hectares of fields in the south of Dou Ying City, which were very fertile, so he asked Dou Ying for his blessing. Dou Ying was surprised after hearing this.

Yue said: "Although I have discarded it, and although the prime minister is noble, how can we take it away from him?" Guan Fu saw this and also scolded Ji Fu angrily. Although Ji Fu was annoyed at being scolded, he did not tell Tian Fu, but only advised him.

"Wei Qihou is old and is about to die. Just wait and see!" Someone told Tian Fu what Dou Ying and Guan Fu said. Tian Fu said angrily: "Wei Qihou's son once committed murder.

I tried to save his life. I asked Wei Qi to appoint him, but he refused to cooperate with me. What's more, what does this matter have to do with Guan Fu? He came to chat, but I didn't care about this mere thing.

Tian Mu, how long can the two of them live?" From then on, Tian Fu resented Dou Ying and Guan Fu, and wanted to plot to harm him.

In the spring of the third year of Yuanguang, Tian Fu came to see Emperor Wu and said: "Guan Fu's family is very rampant in Yingchuan and is a danger to the people. We should ask for treatment." Emperor Wu said: "This is something that the Prime Minister should handle accordingly. Why should we ask for it?"

Tian Fu wanted to punish Guan Fu as soon as he heard this, but Guan Fu had already found out that Tian Fu had committed a serious crime. If Tian Fu wanted to punish Guan Fu, Guan Fu would come forward to report him, so Tian Fu did not dare to take action.

.

It turned out that when Tian Fu was the Taiwei, it was the time when Liu An, the king of Huainan, entered the court. Tian Fu went to Ba Shang to greet him personally and secretly said to Liu An: "Your Majesty does not have a prince, and the king is the most virtuous, and he is the grandson of the great ancestor. Once the palace chariot is driven by Yan,

If he is not the king's heir, who else can he be?" When Liu An heard this, he was overjoyed and gave Tian Fu a generous gift of money and property, asking him to help him. This matter was originally a secret, and I don't know how Guan Fu found out. If he was asked to report to Emperor Wu, Tian Fu would even

Life can't be saved.

Guan Fu used this to hijack Tian Fu, and his methods were quite ruthless.

In the summer of that year, Tian Fu married the daughter of King Liu Jia of Yan. The Queen Mother issued an edict to summon all the princes and clans to congratulate her. Of course Dou Ying was among them. Remembering that Guan Fu and Tian Fu had a grudge, it was better to take advantage of Tian Fu's happy event to invite Guan Fu.

He went to see each other and made peace between the two. So he took a car to Guan's husband's house to explain his feelings. Guan's husband said: "My husband often offends the prime minister because of his drunkenness. The prime minister has recently come and there is a rift with him, so it is better not to go."

Dou Ying said, "We have reconciled the previous affairs, so don't mind," and then he forced Guan Fu to go with him. Guan Fu was not kind enough to Dou Ying, so he had no choice but to go as he was told.

It is said that the prime minister married his wife, and naturally it was very lively. On this day, Tian Fu came out to receive the guests, dressed in a crown, and he was in high spirits and very happy. Dou Ying and Guan Fu congratulated her. They both had grudges in their hearts, but they pretended to be in appearance.

attentive.

When all the guests arrived that day, Tian Fu ordered everyone to arrange a banquet and invited everyone to come and drink.

When he was drunk, Tian Fu stood up and toasted to the guests in order of their seats.

When the guests saw Tian Fu personally coming to toast him, they all avoided their seats and fell down in great respect. After Tian Fu finished his toast, the guests also came to take turns to toast. Soon it was Dou Ying's turn, and half of the guests avoided their seats and fell down.

The other half was just kneeling on the table. It turns out that the ancients sat on the ground with their buttocks leaning on their heels. When kneeling, they just straightened their waists. In terms of respect, it was naturally not as good as avoiding the table. Guanfu was very unhappy. Later it was Guanfu's turn.

The toasts were given to Tian Fu in turn. When Tian Fu saw Guan Fu toasting, he knelt on the table and said, "You can't fill the cup." Guan Fu poured out a full cup and handed it to Tian Fu. He sneered and said, "Although the Prime Minister is a noble man,

I want to drink all this wine." Tian Fu was angry and only drank half of it, so Guan Fu had to give up. Later, he came to pay homage to Guan Xian, the Marquis of Linru. Guan Xianfang and Cheng Bushi whispered in ear to ear, and when he saw Guan Fu, he did not shy away from the table.

The husband took advantage of this and scolded Guan Xian angrily: "You usually say that Cheng Bu Shi is worthless. Now when the elder is toasting, you are whispering to him!" Guan Xian and Guan Fu's family were speechless after being scolded. Cheng Bu Shi Su nature

He was cautious and did not care about others. Only Tian Fu felt unhappy because Guan Fu had forced him to drink. He heard Guan Fu pointing out mulberry trees and scolding Sophora japonica, so he said to Guan Fu: "Cheng, Li He is the guard of the East and West Palace, and now he is insulting Cheng in public."

General, won't Zhong Rudu leave some space for General Li?" It turned out that Li Guangsu was respected by Guan Fu, and Tian Fu used this to provoke him. After Guan Fu heard this, he added fuel to the fire and said sternly: "I won't avoid beheading today.

Never mind General Li." After saying this, he cursed with anger.

At this time, the guests at the table saw Guan Fu getting angry while drinking, and they all left their seats for a while. Dou Ying was panicked and quickly stood up to attack him. Tian Fu thought that today's happy event would be so lively, but Guan Fu killed the scene and caused everyone to make a fuss.

Scattered away. I am a dignified prime minister, and I can't let him waste my meal in vain, and then stagger away? If I don't turn around and deal with him, how can I show my advantage? Tian Fu then ordered his subordinate Guan Fu to be detained.

When he was ordered to go back, he promised to guard the door and prevent Guan Fu from going out. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Fu even bowed to Tian Fu and begged Guan Fu for mercy, and pressed Guan Fu's neck to ask him to apologize. Guan Fu became even more angry and refused.

Apologize. Tian Fu saw that Guan Fu was stubborn, so he ordered his subordinates to bind him and temporarily set him up in a passing house.

But how to deal with this matter? If Guan Fu was drunk and cursed, it was a small fault. Even if he insulted the prime minister, it was not a serious crime. But Tian Fu had an idea. He sent someone to summon the chief minister and said: "

Today there is an imperial edict to summon the princes and clans, and Guan Fu is scolded and sitting down, but there is no imperial edict. He has committed the crime of disrespect and should be impeached."

Then he ordered Guan Fu to be imprisoned in his room. Tian Fu wanted to put Guan Fu to death, so he took advantage of the situation to investigate the past and sent officials to arrest the Guan family. It was revealed that all the evil deeds committed were capital crimes.

Although Guan Fu wanted to report Tian Fu at this time, he had no choice but to be detained. His family and clan were either imprisoned or escaped. Even a group of jailers were Tian Fu's eyes and ears, and there was no one to complain on his behalf, only Dou.

Ying stepped forward to rescue Guan Fu. His wife persuaded him: "General Guan has offended the Prime Minister and opposed the Queen Mother's family. How can he be rescued?" Wei Qihou said: "I earned the Marquis, and now it is up to me.

There is nothing to regret about throwing it away. Besides, I can't let Guan Zhongru die on his own while I live alone." So he asked all the guests to intercede with Tian Fu, but Tian Fu refused one by one. Dou Ying couldn't help it, so he

He went to the secret room and wrote a letter to express his grievances against his husband. Then he went to the North Palace to write a letter.

Emperor Wu read the letter Dou Ying gave and immediately summoned him into the palace. Dou Ying met Emperor Wu and warned him that if his husband was drunk and guilty, he would not die. Emperor Wu nodded, rewarded Dou Ying to have a meal with him, and then said: "

We will go to the Eastern Dynasty to clarify this matter in the coming days." Dou Ying said and had no choice but to retreat.

The next day Emperor Wu sat in Changle Palace and convened a meeting of ministers to imprison him.

Dou Ying strongly said that Guan Fu was a very good man, but this time he made a minor mistake after drinking, and the Prime Minister took advantage of the suspicion and framed him as guilty. Tian Fu Ji Chen Guan Fu was a cunning and cunning man in the fish and meat village, and did all kinds of unethical things. Dou Ying was very eloquent.

Stupid, I actually said that Tian Fu couldn't do it, so I had to transfer to

Tian Fu said on Tian Fu how arrogant, extravagant and greedy Tian Fu was. Hearing this, Tian Fu did not argue, and just said: "Now the world is happy and peaceful. Tian Fu is blessed by the Lord's relatives and is lucky to serve around him. He is happy with the music of dogs and horses."

Land and house, the owner encourages skilled craftsmen

They are not like Wei Qihou and Guan Fu, who summoned the heroes of the world to discuss and discuss day and night, slandering and dissatisfied with the imperial court. They either raised their heads to observe the sky, or lowered their heads to draw on the ground to spy on the east and west.

Between the palaces, I hope that things will change in the world so that they can succeed. I don't understand what Wei Qihou and the others want to do?" The two debated for a long time. Emperor Wu asked the courtiers: "Who do you think is right? Each of them can state his own opinion.

.”

Han Anguo, the imperial censor, came out and said: "Wei Qiyan, Guan Fu, because his father died in the battle, he galloped into the Wu army with a painted halberd. He suffered dozens of injuries and bravely won the three armies. He is a strong man in the world. There must be no serious evil in arguing over a drink, and it cannot be done casually."

lead him to death

"Indeed, what Wei Qihou said is true. The Prime Minister said that Guan Fu consorted with traitors to abuse the common people, and the wealthy family ran rampant in Yingchuan. It must be investigated, and the Prime Minister's words are also true. I hope your Majesty will decide how to handle it." Han Anguo said.

After saying this, retreat.

Emperor Wu had recently seen Tian Fu's arrogance and disliked him in his heart, but to hinder the Queen Mother, he had to pretend to be vague and said that we would discuss it another day.

Tian Fu slowly retreated and walked out of the palace gate. Seeing that Han Anguo was still in front, he called out to Han Anguo, who was riding in the same carriage.

), why is there a rat at the beginning and two ends?". An

The king pondered for a long time and said: "Why don't you be humble? Since Wei Qi said that you are short-sighted, you should take off your hat and seal to express your gratitude to the Lord and say: 'I am grateful to the Lord for my heart, and it is difficult for me to treat the sinful Prime Minister, and it is difficult for me to do the job. Wei Qi said everything.

Yes, I would like to be dismissed from office.' So proceed.

He said, "My lord will be pleased that you can allow me to do so, and I will surely comfort you. Wei Qihou feels ashamed. Nowadays, when people criticize you for your shortcomings, you will also destroy others. It's like women and children in the countryside quarreling with each other. Isn't this a loss of dignity?" Tian Fu also felt that after hearing this, he said:

Being impatient, he turned to Han
