Chapter 307: The First Day of Court, Bullying the Emperor

Early in the morning, Huangji Hall.

Dou Changsheng stood in front of all the officials and had just stood up.

A chair had been placed behind him, and Dou Changsheng was stunned.

He looked at the person who placed the chair, and it was Shangguan Taishi.

Placing a chair and letting a left prime minister do it personally was naturally an insult.

But no one dared to do such a thing, because it was against the rules. The current emperor was not a puppet, so no one would do it, but if it was a forced order, they would still do it. After all, the left prime minister had this card, and they also wanted to force and get away with it after doing good things.

However, Shangguan Taishi did it himself, and the main point was to flatter the emperor.

This move attracted the attention of all officials.

All eyes looked at Dou Changsheng.

This made the newly-minted King Qian the object of everyone's attention.

This chair had been placed beside him, and it was not right to sit on it, nor was it right not to sit on it.

Sitting on it was very taboo, because the only one who could have a seat since the morning court was the emperor, and for so many years, it was the Tianfei who was given the grace and the seat.

But that was also the result of the hard work of the Concubine Tian. She was not granted a seat the first time she attended the court.

The power of the Concubine Tian grew little by little, and only then did she have a seat to highlight her status.

If she didn't sit down, the chair would be put aside. Wouldn't it show her guilty conscience and lose face?

To put it bluntly, this was to set Dou Changsheng up.

Dou Changsheng looked deeply at Shangguan Taishi. This person was not a worry-free person either. Dou Changsheng sat down directly without shirking his humility. The general situation was like this, so he had to do it.

Shangguan Taishi supported his people, and scolded the other party, which would make outsiders laugh.

His own momentum was at its peak, and he could threaten the emperor and bully the officials, but his supporters were all traitors, none of them were good things, and it was a joke to say it out.

He was a good person, but he became the leader of the devil.

As Dou Changsheng sat down, the Huangji Hall was silent, without any sound. Some officials who were whispering to each other in the court were now all watching their noses, shrinking their bodies, and trying their best to reduce their presence. Everyone knew that something big was going to happen.

The Huangji Hall was silent.

Many people glared at Dou Changsheng, but Dou Changsheng was too lazy to pay attention to them.

His eyelids drooped, he closed his eyes, and began to wait calmly.

He didn't know how long he waited, and heard a voice saying that the emperor had arrived.

Dou Changsheng then slowly opened his eyes and looked at the position of the dragon throne above.

Now, on the wide dragon throne, a man in a crown has sat down. Threads of gold are constantly drooping, directly cutting off the peek, and it is impossible to see the emperor's appearance clearly, only a general idea can be seen.

The emperor and the concubine are in the area covered by the golden silk, and the other officials have knelt down.

Even if Dou Changsheng didn't observe the officials, he knew that all eyes were now on him.

Because Dou Changsheng didn't even stand up to salute, let alone kneel down, and just sat on the chair without moving.

After seeing this, the officials who had been silent took a few steps forward, knelt in the center, and began to shout: "The eldest prince did not bow to the emperor, and he had no etiquette between the monarch and the minister. He should be punished."

"Minister!"

Officials walked out one after another.

The appearance of the emperor seemed to have found their backbone, and they became fierce and ferocious.

In a blink of an eye, a group of people jumped out, and this was not the limit. Many people were walking out one after another. It was obvious that Daqian had been established for hundreds of years and was now in its heyday. Naturally, there was no shortage of people who supported the imperial power.

Some of them might not be willing to be enemies with King Qian, but many of them had to come forward because of their official positions.

If they stood up to the arrogant King Qian, it would be their dereliction of duty. They would definitely be liquidated and dismissed from office and stripped of their titles. They were able to climb to the position of Beijing officials and then enter the Huangji Palace to participate in the morning court. They didn't know how many years of hard work they had spent. How could they let half a lifetime of hard work go to waste?

So now Dou Changsheng has fallen to the point where everyone is calling for his death. He can be said to be pointed at and despised by thousands of people.

Listening to the domineering, arrogant, and unruly one by one.

This one was executed, and that one was killed.

Dou Changsheng's expression did not change.

Because from the moment Shangguan Taishi brought the chair, Dou Changsheng knew what he should do.

With this group of bastards, how could his humble and kind personality stand up? There is no hope for the Holy King.

Then he can only go all the way to the end and continue to be arrogant and domineering.

And such arrogance does not need Dou Changsheng to explain himself, there are great scholars to argue for him.

Shangguan Taishi did not wait until all the officials had spoken before speaking, as that would only show the strength of the opposition. Feeling that the time was almost right, Shangguan Taishi immediately scolded: "How dare you."

"Not bowing to the emperor is a special permission from heaven."

"What is your intention in making His Royal Highness Qian Wang kneel three times and kowtow nine times?"

"Today Qian Wang kneels, tomorrow Emperor Taizu will also kneel, so that you can feel at ease.

The voices of condemnation were endless and the scene was grand, but with Shangguan Taishi's words, all of them stopped abruptly, as if their mouths were suddenly covered and they all became mute. The lively scene was silent again for a while.

Shangguan Taishi snorted coldly and did not pursue them, a bunch of losers.

I can be the left prime minister not because of the emperor's favor, but because of Xingjin.

That was the one who had defeated countless people and walked up step by step. He stared at the emperor behind the golden silk curtain and shouted loudly: "Why is your majesty silent?"

"Do you really want Taizu to bow to your majesty?"

"My Great Qian has been established since then, and there are family rules of our ancestors."

"When Emperor Taizu was the King of Qian in the past, he also did not bow to the emperor when he saw him. Does your majesty want to change the family rules of your ancestors today?"

"If your majesty has this intention, then please forgive me for speaking frankly. This move is absolutely not allowed."

"If your majesty insists on doing so, it is a disorderly order."

"Please forgive me for refusing to obey the edict."

After Shangguan Taishi finished speaking, he kicked Huang Taiquan again. This guy would tear down the roof if he was not punished for three days.

Huang Taiquan looked calm, but his heart was chilled. These bastards are playing bigger and bigger. They are harming the King of Yue together. This is not a big deal, but the scene in front of them is the Nine Clans Elimination Game.

All the nine clans were completely suppressed, that is, in the Huangji Palace, otherwise Huang Taiquan really wanted to give Shangguan Taishi a sword and tell him that we are not familiar with each other.

But at this moment, he pretended to be a stranger.

Huang Taiquan couldn't help but look up, not at the emperor, but at the Tianfei.

Tianfei didn't say a word from beginning to end, just like a statue, but such an attitude has already explained everything.

Tianfei supports King Qian.

And I am Tianfei's person, both parties are mother and son, a family, if something goes wrong, no one can escape, and I can't escape the investigation.

The emperor may still let him off for other things, but being so domineering and rebellious to this point is a complete deception of the emperor. With the emperor's sensitivity to power and fragile little heart, it must be a nine-clan elimination game.

I have no choice.

Huang Taiquan immediately shouted: "The emperor said nothing, is he going to rebel?"

"Daqian has nurtured scholars for three hundred years, and they died for justice today."

Shangguan Taishi also became energetic and immediately shouted: "Confucius said to be martyred, Mencius said to seek justice."

"Enough."

A scolding came from the golden silk curtain.

The unhappy voice of the Concubine continued to sound: "Your Majesty is the master of the world, how can you rebel."

"Such disrespectful words should not be said again."

"The King of Qian did not bow to the emperor, which was a special permission from God, and no one dared to take back this power."

"The Left Censor-in-Chief has provoked the relationship between Your Majesty and Taizu, so he will be dragged down, thrown into the Tianlao, and executed in the autumn."

After the Concubine finished speaking, she looked at the emperor and asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The emperor looked calm, looked at the Concubine and said: "Didn't you deal with it?"

The Concubine chuckled and said: "Your Majesty made a mistake, Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. "

"You are the emperor, the supreme ruler, who speaks the law of heaven and decides the life and death of the world."

"How can a concubine have the ability to step in and deal with the court officials on behalf of the emperor?"

"It seems that the Left Censor-in-Chief is also an important official of the court and should not be moved lightly."

"That's right, insulting the king of Qian is just offending Taizu, not a big crime."

The emperor listened to the words of the concubine, and his eyes flashed with coldness. This one was originally just showing signs of losing control. When he was crowned as the king of Dongge, he was already out of control. Now he is completely at odds with each other.

The emperor was also confused in his heart because of his recklessness.

Now that Daqian is in its heyday, the dynasty is not in its last years. The emperor holds the power alone. Even if he has won over many court officials, it is impossible to undermine the emperor.

He is a middle-aged emperor, not a young emperor, and the concubine is not the queen mother, so she can treat the emperor as a child.

Daqian has been passed down to this day, and various rules are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is impossible for a middle-aged emperor to lose power.

How dare the concubine?

This time, the emperor's inherent concept was refreshed again.

The two consecutive setbacks were not because the emperor was incompetent, but because he had never thought that they were so bold and shameless, and was caught off guard.

Aren't they worried about the revenge of an emperor afterwards?

The emperor couldn't figure this out, but revenge on them was inevitable.

He spoke directly: "The Left Censor-in-Chief made a mistake, and he was dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner, and will never be employed again."

The Left Censor-in-Chief took off his official hat and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise."

The last moment, he was still an important minister of the country, majestic, and the next moment he had become a commoner.

This change is not small.

But this is good. If it is as the Queen said, it would be death.

The Queen laughed lightly and did not pursue it. Shangguan Taishi and Huang Taiquan also stood up again, as if the scene just now had not happened.

It is unrealistic to pursue it relentlessly. After all, the emperor is the emperor.

The fall of the Left Censor-in-Chief is already a big gain, and the bigger gain is the second generation of Qian Wang, who inherits the power of the first generation of Qian Wang.

You know, if you don't bow to the emperor, what's the point?

Will you give him the title of commander-in-chief of the military affairs at home and abroad?

You know, when Emperor Taizu was the King of Qian, he was in charge of the sky, the earth, and the air in between.

If all of this was given to Dou Changsheng, then the emperor would be the last emperor to lose his country.

Of course, given the current situation, it is impossible to reach this point, but now that a beginning has been made, it is the most difficult. If you force the emperor to take a step back, then you can continue to force him and consolidate many powers little by little.

Watching the dust settle, everything is over.

Dou Changsheng glanced at Shangguan Taishi, who had cut himself off not long ago and lost his status as the leader of the party. He was no longer a mountain. He seemed to be in a mess, and he was flattering his superiors, which gave people a bad impression.

But we have to admit that this is a tough character and very capable.

It is easy to be an ordinary corrupt official, but it takes ability to be a big corrupt official. However, the ability of such a person who can stand for a long time is beyond doubt.

I did not communicate with Shangguan Taishi in advance. This decision not to stand up was just a temporary decision. The other party took advantage of the situation and successfully broke the situation. It was really amazing.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Tianfei. This one also cooperated tacitly.

They are weak. It is impossible to use force all the time to prove that the emperor wants to rebel. That will never succeed. Therefore, Tianfei needs to come forward and give the emperor a step.

And this emperor is the first time Dou Changsheng has seen.

I have heard a lot of news in the past. He does not value the country and beautiful women, but he has not given up power.

This seems to be responsible for contradictions, but it is actually very normal.

I can't want my own things, but others can't rob them.

So Tianfei came forward to suppress the left and right ministers and fight with the court. In turn, they can also contain Tianfei. As long as the situation is balanced and not let one family dominate, even if they rarely go to court, they can still hold power.

Now that he has been forced, Dou Changsheng has also discovered a shortcoming of the emperor.

The other party does not have the courage to move forward without hesitation.

If it were Qingxuan, even if the other party was a contemporary immortal, Qingxuan would not retreat even if the threat of Taizu was just a threat, but would directly confront.

One step back, every step back.

So after Qingxuan debuted, he would not retreat.

Since then, he has become a fierce sword, a killing sword.

Everyone is afraid, just because Qingxuan's sword is too sharp.

The essence of politics is compromise, and the emperor has mastered it.

But he forgot that this is not just a power struggle.

After all, he is not a person of the lower class, a noble, not down-to-earth, starting too high, and lacks the courage of the lower class to risk everything.

Today, this gap is torn open, and the gap will get bigger and bigger in the future.

No, the emperor was able to ascend to the throne because he dared to fight and fight.

That assassination deeply stimulated the emperor and made him reborn.

But after being an emperor for a long time, his mentality changed.

There are countless examples of people who are smart and wise when young but become foolish when old.

People will change and will not always be at the peak. This is also the reason why many peak Tianren Realm masters are beaten by newcomers.

This realm is too focused on mentality.

It is not that the more you accumulate, the stronger you will be. The older you are, the stronger you will be. For example, the old Tianshi can still become the strongest at the age of 500. He is really strong.

Dou Changsheng sighed in his heart, and then looked at the hastily ended morning court.

Seeing that the emperor had stood up, Dou Changsheng stood up slowly and said at the same time: "Princess Xiao has not returned home to visit her relatives for many years."

"I married the daughter of Lanling Xiao. This is a rare opportunity. The emperor should issue a clear decree."

These bastards are pitting the master.

Can't the master give them some pressure?

Aren't Shangguan Taishi and Xiao Wangzhi so capable and powerful?

Then let go and do it.

I want to sleep with Princess Xiao.

Sleeping in private can no longer satisfy Dou.

It has to be brought to the surface.
