Chapter 298 If Immortality Is Not Achieved, What Can the Common People Do?

Wu Junyi and Laughing Monk quarreled.

Dou Changsheng felt a headache after hearing this and felt helpless.

Laughing Monk's proposal was in line with Dou Changsheng's wishes, not to cause those troubles, but Wu Junyi's proposal was to accept Shangguan Taishi.

Even if Shangguan Taishi was not coming to seek refuge, he had to take the initiative to win over Shangguan Taishi, so that there would be a left-handed helper in the court.

This was definitely not Wu Junyi's idea alone. Dou Changsheng had a very accurate view of Wu Junyi. He was not a person with his own independent will. He was able to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors and did it perfectly and impeccably.

But he would never take the initiative to provide opinions for his superiors. He was the type of person who would not tell if you didn't ask.

He was calm by nature, which was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

Now, these words were said on behalf of King Xiao, and they were also speaking for his own group.

The two forces under his command had already begun to conflict before they had any chance to improve.

It really fits the saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

A true wise leader is to resolve the conflicts among those who have their own selfish desires and interests and make them work together.

Dou Changsheng looked at the two people arguing and had an epiphany in his heart.

This is management experience, but Dou Changsheng thought about it and realized that he didn't care about it.

He didn't want to be an emperor.

King Xiao wanted to suppress the sects by himself, and the immortals bowed to him.

The Buddhist sect wanted to establish its own Buddhist kingdom on earth, and it was destined to be the enemy of the world.

They are not good people, and none of them have considered themselves.

Now he seems to be very powerful, but in fact he has not shaken the interests of those immortals, so he has the upper hand everywhere and appears very powerful.

In fact, if it is very simple to achieve their goals, then there is no need to push himself out, they can do it by themselves.

They are in a weak position.

Dou Changsheng saw this clearly.

He raised his hand to stop the dispute between the two and said directly: "Please ask the left prime minister!"

This sentence also reflects that Shangguan Taishi is pulling.

If the capital was under martial law, Dou Changsheng would have gone out to greet him in person.

With the status of Shangguan Taishi, the emperor could remain unmoved, and anyone else would stand up to greet him upon hearing this.

Now that they have fallen into such a situation, neither Xiao Heshang nor Wu Junyi have any doubts, and even think that this scene is very normal, so normal that they don't even think about it.

Not long after, Wu Junyi has led Shangguan Taishi in.

Shangguan Taishi knows the current situation very well, and took the initiative to salute Dou Changsheng and said: "Your Highness."

After the salute, there was no long speech, and Shangguan Taishi went straight to the point and said: "Please save me, Your Highness!"

There was no false feelings, no long speech, and Shangguan Taishi's words were very concise, just two words short of saving me.

Dou Changsheng looked at Shangguan Taishi in front of him, staring at him for a long time, and never deliberately pretended to be confused and asked why? Why did the left prime minister say such a thing?

Instead, he went straight to the core of the problem and said, "Why did the Left Prime Minister come to me?"

Shangguan Taishi said calmly, "I have a conflict with the Queen of Heaven. Now I'm seeking death by joining the Queen of Heaven."

"The prince has a teacher, and there is no shortage of officials in the court who can respond to him. There are various officials in the East Palace, and there are old officials who are unwilling to be lonely. They are all eyeing my position."

"On the contrary, Your Highness is now alone. Even if Xiao Wangzhi joins him and is willing to run for Your Highness, Xiao Wangzhi has never entered the officialdom after all. He is just an ordinary citizen."

"Even if Xiao Wangzhi is talented, does he understand the officialdom?"

"I have been in the officialdom for more than a hundred years to achieve what I have today. When it comes to my familiarity with the officialdom, I dare not say that I am not familiar with the officialdom. He is the first, but he is definitely in the top ten. "

"With an experienced old man like me, His Highness will definitely save a lot of effort."

"King Xiao is young and energetic, and he acts recklessly, often forcing others with force. This is naturally invincible against the weak, but there are countless strong people in the world, and there will be someone stronger than you, and King Xiao will suffer sooner or later."

"Your Highness needs an old and steady person to take charge, and at the same time, there must be someone to counter King Xiao."

The last sentence of Shangguan Taishi hit Dou Changsheng's heart. At the beginning, Tianfei said something similar, and recommended the former Tai Shi Fa Rulong to restrain King Xiao and prevent him from completely losing control like a wild horse.

Shangguan Taishi has many advantages, but the disadvantages are also extremely obvious. This will make him a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and many people will hate him.

Dou Changsheng thought about it and found that this shortcoming was not a big deal.

Because now, even if he does nothing, he has become the target that countless people want to kill as soon as possible.

For example, the ten great families in Luojing, the eastern capital, were very dissatisfied with themselves when they saw a future scene. Even if they knew that Luojing would be overturned, they could not blame themselves at all. However, Luojing was in a good and peaceful time, and suddenly a major disaster occurred. Who could accept it? They would hate themselves for affecting their peaceful lives.

There were also many in the imperial capital. As soon as I came to the imperial capital, the imperial capital was directly in chaos.

It was Shangguan Taishi who blocked their wealth, but I was the culprit of everything.

Even if Dou Changsheng was very aggrieved and unwilling, and did not go out at all, but the little eyes of the laughing monk, Dou Changsheng saw it more than once, how could he not guess the other party's thoughts.

Especially the Duke of Lu and the Duke of Lai.

These two big men who met on the way were also involved in the murder of Duke Xu.

Dou Changsheng wanted to say that they had a good relationship with him?

That was pure self-deception.

They probably hated him.

Even if Duke Xu was not so close to them, they were from the same lineage as the founding fathers and belonged to the same four kings and eight dukes.

Duke Xu died like this, they must be sad.

In addition, they were used as targets to establish their authority, which had a bad impression on them. That is, they did not find an opportunity. If they could take advantage of the situation, they would definitely not miss it.

After accepting Shangguan Taishi, the situation would not get worse.

Because now it has reached the bottom and can no longer go down.

Fuck.

There is no room for decline.

Too ironic.

Too mocking.

Thinking of this, Dou Changsheng's face changed.

It was almost twisted.

This world is made of nothing by me.

I didn't make any friends, let alone close friends. There were so many people who hated me and wanted to kill me that they were like the nobles crossing the river.

Dou was chilled and said with a wry smile: "What does the Left Prime Minister want me to do?"

"Just tell the world that the Left Prime Minister and I are the same?"

Shangguan Taishi shook his head and said: "Your Highness doesn't need to announce it to the world, as long as you hand over an important person."

"I can naturally turn the situation around and make everything end completely and settle the dust."

Dou Changsheng nodded and said: "This incident should end. If it continues now, the people will suffer."

"I don't have any morally corrupt and notorious people now."

Dou Changsheng knew that Shangguan Taishi meant to find a role that could replace the Eighth Generation and give an account to the court.

The imperial capital was blocked, and they couldn't take down the Eighth Generation after searching until now. They had completely lost hope.

Shangguan Taishi was well prepared and spoke directly: "No one else is needed, Chen Wangdao is enough."

"This former prince's tutor, the beginning of this incident, his life is enough to give the world an explanation."

"Things have come to this point, causing such a big storm, countless people hate me, but they are also extremely dissatisfied with Chen Wangdao, but the debt is settled when the person dies, Chen Wangdao is already dead, they have nothing to hate, and can only stare at me."

"But as long as the prince resurrects Chen Wangdao, then the hatred can be transferred."

"Everything was written and directed by Chen Wangdao himself. He didn't die at all, and there was no Eighth Generation to take action. It was all Chen Wangdao who colluded with the prince and harmed the Eighth Generation."

Dou Changsheng was really enlightened and saw what it meant to reverse black and white and call a deer a horse.

This Shangguan Taishi wanted to blame everything on Chen Wangdao and the prince, and finally it was their conspiracy and intrigue. He was innocent and the Eighth Generation was also pure.

The laughing monk on the side supported and said: "This method is OK."

"The prince will lose face if he suffers this loss."

"This time and twice, the prince cannot be shaken, but the prince's successive setbacks will definitely disappoint the world, and it is inevitable that a person's heart will be unsettled."

"As long as the world has doubts, it will be a major blow to the prince. If it goes on a few more times, everyone will think that the prince is a hopeless case. The prince will be finished, and the change of the East Palace will be inevitable."

"It's just this method, the prince can't help but be on guard."

Shangguan Taishi shook his sleeves and said calmly: "Chen Wangdao will naturally not bite back, this kind of person makes It is absolutely impossible for him to turn against his own side at the last minute. "

"After all, even if he is resurrected, he will die in the end, and Chen Wangdao will definitely not cooperate."

"But the prince has a strange man under his command, let him come out, and when Chen Wangdao is about to die, let Chen Wangdao come out. "

"Others are arranged by ministers, even if someone sees it, they will not make it public."

"This time the chaos in the imperial capital has affected too many people. It is the will of countless people to quell the chaos as soon as possible."

"As long as we give an explanation to the people of the world, that's enough."

Let the Thousand Faces Young Master Yu Zimin disguise himself as Chen Wangdao, and Chen Wangdao will die when he dies.

This Shangguan Taishi is also very thoughtful, and ordinary people really can't do it, because they can't find someone as good at disguise as Yu Zimin.

Even if everyone needs a reason, this reason must be more real, and it can be seen as fake at a glance, that is, fooling people as fools.

Dou Changsheng looked at the laughing monk and asked, "How about resurrecting Chen Wangdao?"

Even though Shangguan Taishi has a high status, it is still difficult to do resurrection.

Qingxuan died a disciple, and the court wanted to resurrect him, even without compensation, because Qingxuan was strong enough, Shangguan Taishi was much worse, and he didn't even dare to mention Shangguan Mingyu, because it was impossible.

The power of resurrection, this is only available to immortals.

But this kind of resurrection is not a perfect resurrection, and it must pay a price, the most obvious of which is the loss of hope of enlightenment.

So for some big guys, resurrection is simply not a thing.

Like the eighth generation, like Qingxuan, it is better not to live if the possibility of enlightenment is cut off.

The court also has the means of resurrection, but it is controlled by the clan office, and the Buddhist sect has the Buddha Nagarjuna behind it, so it naturally has the ability.

The laughing monk nodded and said, "Okay."

"There is no need to restore Chen Wangdao's strength, which can reduce some costs."

"But the Buddhist son should think about it carefully, whether to do it?"

"What if something goes wrong?"

The rest of the words were not said by the monk Xiao, but his meaning was clear. The monk Xiao did not trust Shangguan Taishi. His words were very nice, but if Chen Wangdao was resurrected and finally escaped from control and continued to hang out with the prince, wouldn't it be a loss of both the wife and the army?

Then they would be a joke.

This possibility had to be considered. After all, Shangguan Taishi might be fooling them, but in fact he was cooperating with the prince.

In life, anything is possible.

Dou Changsheng could understand the monk Xiao's underlying meaning. Shangguan Taishi seemed to be desperate, but maybe he was a dead spy?

Dou Changsheng thought about it, and then didn't take it seriously.

Because it was the Buddhist sect that paid the price, not himself.

With the foundation of the Buddhist sect, it was no big deal to resurrect just one person.

Just like the undercovers who died in the Nalanda Temple, the Black Lotus Saint Envoy must be alive now.

The abbot of the Nalanda Temple was dead. Dou Changsheng guessed that it was because the other party was too lame that such a serious thing happened. It was very bad for the reputation of Buddhism. If he really made great contributions, he would be very likely to be resurrected.

Dou Changsheng said directly: "Just do it according to the wishes of the left prime minister."

"I believe that the left prime minister will not let me down."

Shangguan Taishi showed a moving expression and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you for your support, Your Highness."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will arrange everything properly."

"Chen Wangdao will definitely pay a heavy price, and the prince will become a laughing stock in the world."

"Your Highness recognizes his ancestors and restores his status as a prince. I will also promote it."

After getting the guarantee, Shangguan Taishi immediately began to talk about the next action.

After a long time, Shangguan Taishi left.

After arriving in the carriage outside, Shangguan Taishi said to Xiao Wangzhi who had been waiting for him: "End the chaos in the imperial capital and frame the prince."

"Your idea is good, but it is too crude."

"Your Highness is the eldest son, and he is also the one who is expected by the world. He is the one who clarifies the country and stabilizes the world."

"How can he come out so easily?"

"There must be a respected person to invite him."

"It will take three more times."

"Only in this way can it reflect the dignity of your Highness and the expectations of the world."

Xiao Wangzhi smiled and said: "The Left Prime Minister is really worthy of being an old senior, and he is experienced."

"It seems that it is right to hand over the matter to the Left Prime Minister this time."

Shangguan Taishi's eyes were calm. The person in front of him was not a good person, but he was the only one who could support him and be a good official.

This world.

The bad guys have become good people.

There is really no place to reason.
