Chapter 402 A Turbulent World
The man has feelings, and the concubine has intentions.
The two sides have naturally hooked up.
After the general discussion, there is no need to talk about the next step.
Because the two sides do not have a foundation of mutual trust, and the two sides had a conflict not long ago. Now they can come together because they need each other.
That's why there is no need for details, because some small things can't shake the relationship between the two sides. If something big happens, they will definitely not be together in life and death. They will run away when the disaster comes.
The matter of the Blood God was settled, and Dou Changsheng was relieved.
Invite the other party to go to the Huangji Palace to discuss matters.
Now that the immortals of the world have left, the consequences are very bad. Now the people's hearts are turbulent, especially the Daqian court, which is waiting for him.
If you can't appease the people's hearts, the Daqian court will fall.
People like Shangguan Taishi and Huang Taiquan are afraid that they will also leave him. After all, their strength has reached their level, and each has their own demands.
It's time for the king to choose his ministers, and the ministers to choose the king.
When Dou Changsheng came to Huangji Palace, he didn't need to invite the left prime minister, the right prime minister, and other civil and military officials. They had already gathered here. Before Dou Changsheng came, they stood together in twos and threes, whispering constantly.
The words in their mouths kept coming, but in fact, they were not what they thought in their hearts. The real way they communicated was to transmit sound or other secret techniques. They were very cunning and would not leave any excuses. ,
Even if Daqian was crumbling now, they would not easily express their opinions until the last moment.
Now that Dou Changsheng had arrived, the voices gradually disappeared, and Huangji Palace was silent. One after another, eyes began to look at Dou Changsheng and Blood Demon, and finally stayed on Blood Demon.
When Dou Changsheng rushed back to the imperial capital in the battle of Cangzhou, the news had spread wildly. In addition, Dou Changsheng communicated with Blood Demon for such a long time, which was enough for everyone in Huangji Palace to know the whole story of Cangzhou.
Even if they didn't know it, they came to Huangji Palace and were told by their friends.
So they naturally understood the value of the Blood Demon, and their expressions were relieved a lot, as if they had taken a reassurance pill.
Among the evil gods outside the domain, the Blood God is also a strong one, especially after the support of the group of immortals, he created the special clone of the Blood Demon, and this time the Heavenly Dao favored him and he became the Son of Heaven, which is definitely a stabilizing force.
Of course, some people are happy, and some people are unhappy, but they dare not look at the Blood Demon, and can only be angry secretly.
This group of people have other ideas, and it is also related to the Shura Temple among the seventeen orthodox sects.
Shura Temple is a major sect of the Demonic Dao, and its founder, the Blood Robe King Buddha, is the one who personally suppressed the existence of the Blood God. This time the Blood God escaped, and the biggest impact was of course the Shura Temple.
It is not possible to retaliate against the Blood Robe King Buddha and take down the Shura Temple. This is not a matter of hand.
Even the Blood-robed King Buddha would not care about the life and death of Shura Temple in order to ease the relationship. If they could turn hostility into friendship, it would be a good thing. However, Shura Temple, as the party involved, would definitely be unhappy, and they who were involved with Shura Temple would certainly be even more uncomfortable.
Dou Changsheng looked around and knew that his decision was very correct.
The Blood Demon said nothing, but just appeared directly, which boosted the morale and stabilized the court that was already on the verge of collapse.
This is enough to show the importance of immortals. There are two completely different concepts: immortals and no immortals.
Dou Changsheng sat on the seat placed in front of the dragon chair, looking directly at the ministers, and the Blood Demon also sat down beside him.
Shangguan Taishi shook his sleeves and took the initiative to come out and report: "Emperor Long Yu has passed away, and the throne is vacant. Please tell me, Your Highness?"
"What should I do?"
The tragic death of a king of a country is enough to be a big event.
But with the emperor's majesty plummeting, he deliberately faded out of sight, which was no longer of much importance. But if it was just like this, it would still be a big deal, but compared with the Emperor Taizu's extraordinary enlightenment and the sword immortal's ascending to heaven, these were all minor details.
The divorce of two stars is undoubtedly a big deal, but when two countries go to war, no one will pay attention to the stars' affairs if you don't mention them.
Dou Changsheng raised his eyebrows. The emperor, this guy, his existence is a good thing for him. He can bear many charges. In a word, all good things are done by King Qian, and all bad things are done by the emperor.
Now that he is dead, there is no one to take the blame.
But this is a small matter. The biggest thing is whether he should take this last step.
Dou Changsheng couldn't help but fall silent, and began to think attentively, weighing the pros and cons.
The Blood Demon on the side lazily said: "Daqian is so rotten, why do you still want to be an emperor?"
"If you become the emperor, you will be nailed to the imperial capital. It will be extremely difficult to leave the imperial capital in the future."
"There are many things that cannot be taken the initiative to come forward, and can only be handed over to the people below. This will miss many opportunities. Even if you lead the army in person, there will be constant trouble."
"It is better to calm down temporarily and not take this last step. This is also to leave yourself a buffer. If the future is really over, there is still hope of running away."
"Besides, Daqian has lost the immortals of the time. It is no longer orthodox and cannot command the world. It can no longer support an emperor."
"Forcing yourself to ascend the throne is also a joke."
"Especially since you are the 37th son of Emperor Ziwei, being a king is far better than being an emperor."
The Blood Demon spoke at length, and Dou Changsheng listened carefully because it made sense.
Of course, Dou Changsheng can also see that this blood demon is very selfish. The other party wants to use the name of the thirty-seventh son of Emperor Ziwei to draw closer to the Arctic Palace. Only in this way can the two sides continue to communicate. There was communication, and the Blood Demon could take advantage of the situation to get familiar with the North Pole Palace, until he finally succeeded in colluding with Emperor Ziwei using himself as a springboard.
Although he saw selfishness, Dou Changsheng did not pay attention to it. Instead, he looked around to judge the expressions of the civil and military officials in Huangji Palace. Even if they tried their best to hide it, Dou Changsheng could still see something. Their yearning for the Arctic Palace.
To put it bluntly, although the Blood God has extraordinary strength and is blessed by Heaven, making him a well-deserved son of Heaven, he is still far inferior to Emperor Ziwei.
This effect is naturally the result of Emperor Ziwei's achievements over the past countless years.
He started the first war between immortals and demons, established the system of immortals, and suppressed countless evil gods from outside the world. He was the first person in the world, and he deserved the title and was undisputed.
Although in recent years, he has been suspected of being injured and has been criticized for being the victim of criticism, but that is something that only the half-immortal level knows. All the civil and military officials in the Huangji Palace do not know this news at all.
I would rather have a bed in Qingpu than a house in Kunshan.
This is what it means now.
After Dou Changsheng was silent for a while, he took the initiative to speak: "Emperor Taizu, a different kind of enlightenment, has now transformed into a war immortal to protect China."
"This is a great thing that the whole world celebrates, and it is even more joyful that the emperor has passed away to enjoy happiness."
"This also heralds the completion of merits and deeds. From then on, the great achievements are already the great achievements of the North Pole Palace."
"As King Qian and the thirty-seventh son of the Emperor, I should worship the Emperor as the Lord, build an ancestral temple, and offer incense."
"From today onwards, there will be no emperor in Daqian."
"As for this country's name, I will also report it to the Arctic Palace. If my father plans to change it, I will summon everyone to announce it."
After hearing these words, the Blood Demon nodded repeatedly and kept stroking his palms in praise, because Dou Changsheng not only followed his own advice, but also took action to build an ancestral temple and offer incense and sacrifices. The word "father" is shocking.
Look at the civil and military officials in the Huangji Palace. All of them can't breathe because of these two words.
It was obvious that everyone was shocked.
It is a good thing that Dou Changsheng adapts so quickly. Only such people can survive and become partners.
Dou Changsheng didn't think so much. Taizu Daqian suddenly walked away. This forced Dou Changsheng to cooperate with the Blood God and move closer to the North Pole Palace.
Among the two immortals, Emperor Ziwei and King Nagarjuna, Dou Changsheng preferred Nagarjuna Buddha in his heart. After all, King Nagarjuna was not that strong, and Buddhism was also an alternative, not the mainstream of heaven and earth.
It's just that Emperor Ziwei is too powerful. With the help of Emperor Ziwei, it is easier to shock the world and appease people's hearts.
Even if you worship your adoptive father, what's the problem if you call him father?
Dou Changsheng raised his hand to signal Shangguan Taishi to continue. Shangguan Taishi exhaled a white breath, calmed down a little, rubbed his temples and said: "The second thing is that all the clan members are dead and injured. Their death is not a big deal. After all, everyone No one will complain to them if they die."
These clans are not the clans of this dynasty. After this incident is exposed, it will have little impact on the people of the world, because all the major sects and aristocratic families are married to them. Unfortunately, they are all dead.
This would naturally lead to the death of innocent people. Many disciples of aristocratic families and sects did not escape the blow, but Taizu Daqian was still alive, so this matter was destined to go unresolved.
Revenge against the Red Controller?
That is impossible.
The Red Controller is the most powerful person in the world, and he has a semi-immortal weapon in his hand. It would be nice not to take revenge on them.
The real difficulty now is that the clan members are not alone. They are all extremely wealthy. After their death, they have created a large power and wealth vacuum, which is destined to be taken advantage of by others and cannot be filled.
This benefit was so great that Shangguan Taishi had to mention it.
Shangguan Taishi didn't say it so bluntly, because he didn't want to be so vulgar. Of course, there were too many people in Huangji Palace, and it was not a small private meeting where he could speak unscrupulously.
Dou Changsheng heard the hint from Shangguan Taishi and said directly: "The wealth of the clan will naturally be returned to the imperial court."
"But all the shops, houses, etc. they left behind will be sold, even if the price is lower."
In doing so, they naturally do not intend to continue to compete with local forces, because they cannot compete at all.
Local snakes, no one is powerful. In the past, the clan relied on greater authority and greater strength to bully them and gain the greatest benefits. Now that the imperial court has lost the clan, its strength has dropped significantly, and there is no manpower to control these.
You can only leave and take your wealth with you. If the court does this, the local snakes will not stop you, but will pay for the business.
"After obtaining this wealth, we will use it to expand our army."
Shangguan Taishi responded, and then told the bad news: "A plague broke out in the southern capital, and there were many casualties among the people. Now the officials are helpless."
"We have asked the imperial court for help."
"However, there are secret messages from the local government. There are government offices and garrison departments. Letters are sent from all aspects. Demons are raging in the southern capital and plague is everywhere. It is because the local officials are not doing their job well. They suspect that they are deliberately indulgent to deceive the court and follow the trend. Cut off contact with the court."
Huang Taiquan also stepped forward and said: "They dare not directly kill officials and rebel, nor dare to directly establish themselves, so they created a plague."
"It is to make the court powerful but nowhere to use it, the army cannot suppress the rebellion, and Your Highness cannot follow the old example of eradicating the Overlord Valley and use thunderous means to destroy the enemy."
"They do this with ambitions that are clear and undisguised."
"There are rumors in the northwest. Local officials reported urgently that they saw colorful auspicious clouds emerging in the mountains, surrounded by rosy clouds and auspicious air, and a treasure was born. It is suspected to be the lost imperial seal."
Shangguan Taishi and Huang Taiquan, the two of them kept talking about the news in the world.
Dou Changsheng had a headache after hearing this, because none of this was good news. This situation was similar to the last time. Since the chaos broke out in the world, within one day, the sun patrolled the sky, the Overlord Valley killed officials and rebelled, and the Four Seas Sect launched a large-scale deification.
As expected, there are never a few ambitious people. Even if I have put down a lot of them recently, as long as there is bad news, countless people will be ready to move.
And the situation this time is worse than the last time.
Because these people have begun to evolve, they are not in a hurry to rebel, but first create incidents and test the court step by step.
If the court puts out the plague, they will naturally applaud and praise the court.
Very shameless.
Because they are not exposed, you can't find out who did it.
It will definitely not be a one-day investigation, and the court is the most lacking in time and manpower in this area.
If one family tests, it is courting death, ten or a hundred families, then it is the court that can't stand it.
The Blood Demon sneered and said, "Nandu is one of the five cities. Not only does it have an excellent geographical location, it also has great power. As long as you control Nandu, you can dominate the south."
"The battle for the five cities is the key to the world."
"If Daqian protects the five cities, it will not lose the world."
"The five cities need some kind of treasure core to control them, but this is not absolute, otherwise how can the five cities change hands?"
"As long as you control the major buildings in a city, you can compete with the core, and then have a large army stationed there and control people's hearts, you already have the ability to replace the core."
"Of course, this kind of secret method must be extremely precious, and there are definitely not many people who know it, but now is the time of great contention."
"Even if they don't know how to do it, there will definitely be someone who will give it to them. If they can't learn it, there will also be someone who will teach them step by step."
