Chapter 354: Returning with a Great Victory, Threatening the Royal Family
Destroy the Overlord Valley in one battle and return with a great victory.
This caused a sensation in the imperial capital, and hundreds of officials knelt down to welcome him.
All of a sudden, the uneasy atmosphere in the imperial capital was swept away, and it was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
When I went there, I acted vigorously and resolutely, not daring to delay anything, for fear of the news leaking and any accidents happening, but there was no need to be anxious after returning. The successive greetings and celebrations, if I hadn't taken the initiative to let the wind out, what would happen in the imperial capital? Maybe so well prepared.
Nantianmen did not come directly to the gate of the imperial capital, but deliberately kept a distance.
Yashiro looked at Luo Jing floating in the sky, then nodded slightly to Dou Changsheng, and finally disappeared.
Returning with a great victory, shocking all the officials, and winning people's hearts, this is not important at all to Yashiro, so Yashiro does not plan to participate, because he does not want to worry about side issues, and he also does not want to steal Dou Changsheng's limelight.
The two of them were the biggest contributors to this battle. As long as Ba Dai disappeared, all the light would naturally converge on Dou Changsheng.
When a group of people arrived in front of the imperial capital, they could see from a distance that the gate of the imperial capital was open, and there were hundreds of civil and military officials standing there, as well as countless people.
When Dou Changsheng approached, he knelt down and shouted long live.
Kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Dou Changsheng walked to the front and finished his salute.
However, they did not get up and were all still kneeling because they did not get Dou Changsheng's order to get up.
Looking at the crowd of people kneeling in darkness, there are at least tens of thousands, or even more, people gathered here. Now no one dares to raise his head and look directly at himself.
This is a sense of accomplishment, and at the same time, there is a sense of joy in my heart.
This is power.
Countless heroes throughout the ages have fallen on this.
Like poison, it can corrode steel and iron bones.
Dou Changsheng suppressed this emotion in his heart. Power is wonderful, but strength is more important.
Dou Changsheng said: "Get up."
After receiving Dou Changsheng's approval, Shangguan Taishi stood up slowly. This was like a chain reaction. Others also started to stand up. Shangguan Taishi took the initiative to take a step forward, walked to Dou Changsheng's side, and congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Highness, for the battle." Destroy the Overlord Valley and kill the rebels."
"Such a great victory can be said to be unprecedented. The power of the imperial court has greatly increased. His Highness has accomplished such a remarkable feat, which is truly rare in ancient times and modern times."
Dou Changsheng raised his hand slightly, interrupting Shangguan Taishi's subsequent flattery. If there were no immortals in this world, then Dou Changsheng must be very proud and happy at this moment.
But there are immortals, and this battle is purely a battle of immortal weapons. With more strikes and less, without any skills, even a fool can win as long as he has so many immortal weapons.
Therefore, Dou Changsheng was calm and his mentality was stable, and he did not become distracted because of this.
Shangguan Taishi swallowed the rest of the words into his belly, then reorganized his words before continuing to speak; "Your Highness destroyed the Overlord Valley, shocking the world, and terrifying China."
"The news spread, and everyone in the imperial capital was smiling. The past uneasiness was swept away, and the precarious situation of the imperial court also disappeared. The hearts of countless officials have stabilized, while some ambitious people are like a basin of cold water being poured down, and a fiery heart is As their hearts gradually cool down, they will put away their claws and continue to wait and see, waiting for the next opportunity to appear. "
"The situation is now stable, which has bought a lot of time and can do a lot of things."
Dou Changsheng glanced at Shangguan Taishi. The left prime minister was a little too impatient. Such matters can be discussed at home instead of directly outside, because this is a public place and hundreds of officials are here. These people have thieves ears. Here, I believe everyone is listening to their exchange.
Dou Changsheng knew that Shangguan Taishi had a purpose, so he did not stop him, but allowed Shangguan Taishi to do what he wanted. After some preparations, Shangguan Taishi continued to speak: "Your Majesty retreated to the harem and abandoned the world, but he kept the Emperor's Sword hidden all the time. , At a time of great strife, when the imperial court lacks strength, it is really shameful for His Majesty to be so ignorant."
"I request His Highness to give an order. I will enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to return the Emperor's Sword."
The Emperor's Sword is the most precious treasure of Daqian.
It is also one of the foundations of the unified dynasties in the past.
In the five capitals of the world, the imperial seal and the sword of the Emperor are all immortal weapons.
There are many immortal weapons in the imperial court, among which the Imperial Jade Seal is slightly special. It is the core of the control of the Imperial Capital and one of the five seals. It seems that the effect overlaps with that of the Imperial Capital, but in fact, the two are a set and have the same set of features. Its attributes and power have increased several times, far exceeding the two ordinary immortal weapons.
The two can also be used separately and do not have to be combined together.
Because of its specialness and power, it has always been controlled by Emperor Taizu.
In the past dynasties, when the immortals sat in the imperial capital and held the Jade Seal of the Kingdom in their hands, they refused to let it go. To put it bluntly, a treasure like the Jade Seal of the Kingdom would never leave their bodies the day they obtained it.
As for the Emperor's Sword, I don't know which dynasty cast it. It is an imperial immortal weapon.
The power can be enhanced with the help of national luck, and the user must control the power, so even a child, as long as he is noble enough, can use the Emperor Sword without any limit on strength.
Emperor Taizu would not keep this treasure secretly, because the emperor is the supreme, and he also needs an immortal weapon to show his majesty and declare his force.
The emperor is supreme because of the Emperor's Sword.
The various fairy weapons mentioned above are the standard equipment of a unified dynasty. They can be said to be godsends that everyone has.
This is not the limit of a unified dynasty. After all, whether you can obtain other immortal weapons through private efforts depends on your personal efforts.
Some dynasties are strong and some are weak. This means that development is different.
Many thoughts came to Dou Changsheng's mind, and he also understood Shangguan Taishi's thoughts.
Shangguan Taishi did this on purpose. Now that he had returned from the Overlord Valley with a great victory, all the officials knelt down to welcome him. It was when he was at his strongest, and he used the great victory to intimidate the clan and ask them to hand over the Emperor's Sword.
Not the emperor, but the clan.
It's because the Emperor's Sword is definitely no longer in the hands of the emperor.
The emperor is such a waste, the Emperor's Sword must have been taken by some late emperor in the clan's mansion.
Dou Changsheng took advantage of the situation and said: "The Prime Minister Zuo has worked hard and achieved great results. Why bother the Prime Minister with such a trivial matter? Da Zongzheng, you can go and do it yourself."
Dou Changsheng directly pushed the matter to Da Zongzheng and asked them to go back and discuss among themselves whether they should give it or not.
Now all officials know that if they don't give it, they don't care about Da Qian.
Even many officials don't care, but they can only think about it and do it, but they can't say it out loud.
If you don't give the emperor the sword, you will be resented by all the officials and offend the world.
Without this great victory, they would naturally have countless means to deal with it. They are not incompetent in fighting a public opinion war, and there are many officials who can use it. At that time, it will be a war of words and mutual accusations.
But with this big victory, they had no choice.
This is the importance of military merit.
Only an emperor with military merit can monopolize power and kill whoever he wants.
Dou Changsheng didn't look at Da Zongzheng much and kept walking forward slowly, because he knew that Da Zongzheng didn't dare not agree. Now in full view of the public, this was not for his own selfish gain, but for Da Qian and the imperial court.
Da Zongzheng hesitated for three to five breaths, watched Dou Changsheng take several steps, and quickly caught up with him and said, "I will go to the palace immediately to persuade your majesty to hand over the Emperor's Sword."
After Da Zongzheng finished speaking, he immediately left in a hurry. The place he went to was naturally not the palace, but back to the Zongren Mansion. This was a big matter that Da Zongzheng could not handle.
Dou Changsheng glanced at Da Zongzheng's back and realized that it was time to seize power after returning with a great victory.
He glanced at Shangguan Taishi again. He did a good job, but if he had captured the Emperor's Sword, he would now have a proliferation of immortal weapons in his hands.
However, Dou Changsheng knew that the Three Treasures and Jade Ruyi could not be kept. The Emperor Ziwei would definitely not give this fairy weapon to him. After all, although he was one of the thirty-seven sons, the Three Treasures and Jade Ruyi was his inheritance.
After all, Emperor Ziwei has too many sons, and the gold content has declined, making it worthless at all.
If Emperor Ziwei only has one son, look at it, then this Three Jewels and Jade Ruyi will be the one to choose from me.
The Three Jewels and Jade are like this, and the Vajra and the Demonic Pestle are also like this. They cannot be believed at all.
The one who can really rely on is Luo Jing, but this thing is too obvious and cannot be carried around at all. Every move is too ostentatious. Only by cooperating with Nantianmen can Luo Jing be truly able to move at will, so he can really rely on him. The immortal weapon is really this Emperor's Sword.
As long as it is not an immortal weapon, Dou Changsheng is not so afraid.
There is no need to think about the imperial seal. It will definitely not be given now, and it may not even be given in the end.
Emperor Taizu will not let go of his possession of the imperial seal until he escapes calamity, and the same is true for the imperial capital.
Now Emperor Taizu, the current immortal, has abandoned his martial arts and keeps slashing at himself one after another, weakening his own strength.
Emperor Taizu was not afraid of being too weak?
Directly assassinated?
Dou Changsheng believed that he must be afraid.
After so many years of rise, Dou Changsheng does not think that his relationship with the immortals will be harmonious and harmonious. Although there is no life and death struggle, there will definitely be temporary fights. Naturally, some people will not understand him. The ancestor emperor.
Therefore, Emperor Taizu needed to pass on the imperial seal and the imperial capital to ensure his combat power.
Emperor Taizu will definitely not want the remaining four capitals and has been controlling them. How can we escape from disaster?
The only thing that is uncertain is the Emperor's Sword. Will Emperor Taizu let it go?
Well, this time is just a test.
If Emperor Taizu vetoed it for other reasons and finally received other compensation, it would be enough to judge that Emperor Taizu was not determined to smash the chessboard and jump out of the chess game at all costs.
After Dou Changsheng appeased all the officials, he began to sit in the Huangji Palace and wait.
This matter has been delayed for a long time, almost two hours, but after all, it involves immortal weapons. Dou Changsheng still has some patience. As long as there is a result today, he can endure it.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky outside gradually became dark, and the rich night covered the earth. A bright moon was in the sky, and the hazy moonlight fell like rain.
Dou Changsheng walked along the gate of Huangji Palace and looked at the stars in the night sky.
I don't know how much time passed, but footsteps kept coming out, and Da Zong was walking in in a hurry.
Da Zongzheng's clothes were messy and he was clearly walking in a hurry. Sweat was forming on his forehead and flowing down his cheeks and nose. After arriving in front of Dou Changsheng, Da Zongzheng knelt down directly and his head directly touched the cold He stared at the ground, not daring to make any rash moves.
Dou Changsheng frowned when he saw this scene. Da Zongzheng's performance had already explained everything.
The Emperor's Sword will not be given.
Dou Changsheng didn't say a word, and the endless pressure began to sweep over the Grand Master.
A great man in the Heaven Realm, now he was like an ordinary person, sweating profusely, his clothes soaked, and finally the Grand Master couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness."
"The Emperor's Sword has been delivered to the Imperial Clan House by His Majesty. When I went to the Imperial Clan House, I learned that the Emperor's Sword had been taken out of the imperial capital to suppress the riots in the south, so this time I returned empty-handed, and I feel ashamed of Your Highness."
"I am guilty of death, please punish me, Your Highness."
After the Grand Master said this, he felt a lot more relaxed, because after experiencing a mental struggle, as long as he didn't think about living, there was no pressure at all.
The Grand Master exhaled a breath of foul air and continued to speak: "The Emperor's Sword cannot be delivered to Your Highness for the time being."
"But this time I still have a harvest. One of the five cities of Shen'an, suppressing the western land, its control core, the bronze dagger, I have brought it."
"But this place is the imperial palace, I can't bring it in, please forgive your highness."
The Grand Master's words are reasonable, but in fact it is just a negotiation. If the negotiation fails, the bronze dagger will naturally not be handed over.
Dou Changsheng's frown has been relaxed, and there is not too much disappointment, after all, this has been expected.
This time, instead of giving the Emperor's Sword, it was given to Xidu Shen'an.
Strictly speaking, Xidu Shen'an is stronger than the Emperor's Sword. After all, the current situation is unstable and the power of the Emperor's Sword has decreased.
But the disadvantages of Xidu Shen'an are also obvious. This Xidu Shen'an is not a suspended city, and it can't move freely like Luojing. If it is used, it will be a bit difficult.
Those previous emperors alone would definitely not be able to refuse me. This may not be the order of the immortal in the present world, but it must have been supported by the immortal in the present world.
The other party is so cautious, which is a good thing for me.
After all, Dou Changsheng is also afraid that the other party will do everything, because that means that the other party has no flaws and cannot be threatened.
But now it is possible.
It is difficult for me now, but Dou Changsheng is very happy because he can ask for help from the other party soon.
The sacred halo of the immortal in the present world was directly broken.
Now the immortal in the present world has lost too little, and the cost is not high. When the South Capital and the North Capital are gone, then it will be time for me to turn over and become the master.
Immortal in the present world, you don’t want to fail, right?
