Tai'an County, County Sheriff's Mansion.
Three stars gather together to shine in the world.
In the empty courtyard behind the Sheriff's Mansion, lanterns were hung one after another. The fiery red light continued to spread, shining in all directions like daylight.
At this moment, the empty place is filled with officials of all sizes. All officials from Tai'an County who can come have already arrived.
Dou Changsheng looked around, focusing on all the officials. Such a big battle had to be a test for himself.
The blessings brought by [Supreme Emperor Bone] are very powerful, but the opportunities and dangers are directly proportional.
If a fatal crisis can be overcome, there will naturally be endless benefits. And inheriting Tai'an County this time will naturally not be smooth sailing. My ninth uncle is dying and will not live for long.
This will definitely cause confusion among people, and coupled with the fact that there is no heir, the control over Taian County will decline dramatically.
That's why I wanted to kill the old man to express my will and tell everyone in Tai'an County that this matter has been decided and cannot be changed.
There will naturally be many hidden dangers in such a forced promotion.
If possible, Dou Changsheng would also be willing to come little by little, but unfortunately this is not Dayan, this is just a secret realm, and everything must be fast.
That's why Dou Changsheng was very happy to see Huang Sanxi, because the secret realm was suitable for Huang Sanxi to show off his skills.
After everyone arrived, Uncle Jiu spoke without hesitation: "I was originally from Dayan, but accidentally ended up in this secret world. The old eunuch not only saved my life, but also recruited me as his son-in-law to inherit the family business."
"But I fought with Da Chen in my early years. Because of my injuries, I never had any children. I was also tortured by illness and my life was not long."
"But God will not stop me. Thanks to God's blessing, I actually met my parents before I died."
"Changsheng is my eldest brother's son, and in terms of seniority, he is my nephew."
"They are all members of the Dou family, and now it is time for them to inherit Tai'an County."
"Everyone is invited to come here today. There are two important things to do. The first is to establish Changsheng as his successor."
"The second major event is the opening of the secret realm. This world is not big, and you all know something about it. From Dayan's perspective, this is just a secret realm."
"Now that many powerful people from Dayan have entered the secret realm, Dachen will definitely fall apart. This is not a good thing for the court, but it is a good thing for you all."
"The strongest in this world is the one who builds the foundation, and Dayan is the secluded continent in the ancient divine state. Not to mention the Golden Core Yuanying, it is also possible to become an immortal. As long as you go to Dayan, the future potential is unlimited."
After Uncle Dou Jiu finished speaking, he looked around and did not speak to urge him. Instead, he sat down slowly and waited leisurely.
These people have no choice. If it were just the first big thing, there would definitely be many opponents, but if these two things happen together, they must obey.
When Uncle Dou Jiu sat down, Jun Cheng had already stood up and spoke in support: "In the past, Da Chen bullied us, and it was Fujun who protected us. I have never forgotten the kindness. I support Young Master Changsheng's succession."
The Jun Cheng did not just say it verbally, he already bowed to Dou Changsheng. Although the etiquette was simple, the meaning was the same. This was to establish the hierarchy between superior and inferior, the monarch and his ministers.
After the Jun Cheng took the lead in expressing his stance, a chain reaction immediately started. Officials one after another began to stand up and bow to Dou Changsheng first.
As the officials bowed down one by one, the Kyushu Cauldron on Dou Changsheng's chest gave birth to a scorching heat, and the hazy world emerged again, but this time Dou Changsheng's vision was not completely filled.
One eye and two pupils now have an effect.
Dou Changsheng's vision was separated. On one side was the hazy mist world, and on the other side was the normal world.
This is a brand new experience, independent of each other, but intertwined, but it can be clearly distinguished by oneself, and it will not have any interference with the vision of the real world.
Dou Changsheng was surprised for a moment, and then he clearly saw that as each official bowed down, wisps of luck began to separate from their bodies, and then began to float towards him, and then merged into his own luck. middle.
Gather the crowd.
These two words gave Dou Changsheng a new understanding.
Sure enough, it is something learned from books, which is far inferior to actual operation.
The ancient kings were more or less people with poor talents, but when they had millions of soldiers and thousands of generals under their command, they themselves were also powerful. With just one movement of their hands and feet, they could move mountains, boil seas, and compete with immortals and gods.
It's this luck.
One person does not contribute much luck, but what about ten thousand people or one million people?
This is the overwhelming power, enough to make the sun and moon change the sky.
And dragon energy.
In the final analysis, it is just a further evolution of luck.
Luck is ethereal and has no specific power, but dragon energy seems to be invisible and formless, like clouds and mist, gathering and dispersing indefinitely, but in fact dragon energy can be materialized and turned into a real power.
Therefore, the imperial magical power was derived, which was activated by dragon energy.
Luck can be called a panacea.
"Greetings, young master!"
After three bows and Dou Changsheng's signal, everyone stood up one after another.
This time he sat down again. Dou Changsheng was no longer standing behind Uncle Dou Jiu. Instead, he had a seat, second only to Uncle Dou Jiu.
Uncle Dou Jiu reached for his handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth, and immediately said, "The position of prefect comes from the canonization of Da Chen. This is not only not a good thing, but a bad thing for my parents."
"I accept this position and am already a minister of Da Chen, but my parents have never received Da Chen's salary in my life. I cannot make a decision with Da Chen, otherwise my reputation will be tarnished in the future and I will be easily attacked by others."
As a minister of Chen, if he raises an army, it will be a rebellion. No matter how it is beautified, it is a subordinate subjugating the superior, using his ministers to kill the king, and he cannot escape the infamy of a rebellious minister and traitor.
It has nothing to do with Da Chen. This is an uprising, a rebel army, and a crime against the people.
Lao Dou is worthy of being a member of the Dou family. His purpose is never expressed clearly at once, but step by step, he first decides on the king and his ministers, and then goes one step further and begins to preach: "I want to sacrifice to heaven and report it to heaven. "
"For Xiahou!"
"Changsheng is the prince of Xiahou. He is in charge of Tai'an and controls everything."
summer.
This was not caused by Uncle Dou Jiu himself, but by Dou Changsheng's intention.
This was the answer Dou Changsheng told Uncle Dou Jiu when they were chatting not long ago.
Dou Changsheng has thought about the future path for a long time. There are three emperors, five emperors, and nine continents in this world. If possible, Dou Changsheng would naturally want to call it Xia.
Regardless of whether this is history or not, the main theme is a touch of porcelain.
If it conforms to the historical trend, then it will make a lot of money. If not, it will just be a national title.
Dou Changsheng forgot which of the five virtues of Da Xia was in his last life, but now Xia must be the virtue of fire.
Dou Changsheng loved the name Xia so much. Not only was it the first unified dynasty after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but the word Xia represented the five elements of fire, which was perfect.
The relationship between the national title and the five virtues is actually not that close.
For example, the five elements of the character Yan in Dayan are not gold, but the five elements of the royal surname belong to gold.
But whoever puts himself in a weak position will of course rely on himself at every turn. To put it bluntly, he will keep bumping into trouble.
In the future, Dou Changsheng has already thought about it. Not only will he practice fire-based skills, but his clothes will also be as bright as fire, just like a certain First Emperor who went crazy on black porcelain. Dou Changsheng directly plans to imitate this valuable experience passed down from his ancestors. , not only to learn, but also to double.
Dou Changsheng was thinking, and so were the others.
Xiahou.
The key is not Xia, but the word Hou.
As soon as Uncle Dou Jiu's words came out, it naturally caused an uproar.
Although he knew that the secret realm was opened and the strong men from Dayan could enter, the idea that Chen ruled the world was deeply ingrained.
Nowadays, without being ennobled by the imperial court, if you pretend to be a marquis, this is a blatant rebellion.
If it hadn't been for the opening of the secret realm, someone might have left the Sheriff's Mansion immediately and reported to Da Chen. Even if they stayed where they were, someone would have reported it privately.
This is different from the old governor's fight against Da Chen. That time it was a fight for the right to speak and interests, and everything was within control.
They were too far away from Da Chen and the place was too remote. If they couldn't defeat them, they could just kill the old governor and accept the imperial edict. But if they were to become princes and establish their own vassal states, then Da Chen would definitely not let them go.
Because if you indulge today and don't care, you will be able to be king and emperor in the future.
After a long silence, a fat man with a bloated body stood up directly. His lips were full of beard, and he spoke in a deep voice: "Proclaim yourself a lord."
"This thing is huge."
"This will provoke a crusade from the imperial court."
As if he felt Uncle Dou Jiu's gaze, the fat man softened his tone and said, "I'm not saying this won't work, it's just that it can't be done in such a hurry."
"How many people are there from the outside world? What kind of strength are they?"
"Didn't you see this?"
"We can wait."
Before the fat man could finish his words, Dou Changsheng stretched out his arm and pointed at the fat man. Huang Sanxi, who was standing behind Dou Changsheng, took a step forward without hesitation. A flash of lightning emerged from the palm of his hand, and a spear was like lightning. , like thunder.
In a flash of light, the silver-white spear had penetrated the fat man who spoke.
The spear was filled with huge power, carrying Fatty directly into the air, and finally penetrated the big tree not far away.
The spear kept shaking, and the fat man's body had been nailed to the big tree and hung high.
Dou Changsheng cursed in his heart: "I hate fat people the most."
Immediately, he spoke in a deep voice: "Now is the critical period of racing against time. It is not Da Chen who attacks us, but we take the initiative to send troops and start to conquer all directions."
"All your worries are unnecessary."
"Dayan's power is beyond the imagination of all of you."
Dou Changsheng's words did not arouse much reaction. Dou Changsheng soon realized that how could a frog in a well know the vastness of the world? No matter how much he said, he could not arouse their resonance. On the contrary, if a person from Dayan heard his words, Absolutely 100% approved.
After reorganizing his words, Dou Changsheng continued to preach:
"Let me put it another way. After Chen knew that we had raised an army, it would take time to reach Emperor Chen. And after Emperor Chen knew, he would also dispatch troops and generals, and then the army would arrive. Any process in this process would be It takes time.”
"Taian County is too remote. Even if a large army is assembled, we will not be the ones to attack in the end."
Dou Changsheng looked around, and the people his eyes touched lowered their heads one after another. No one dared to look directly at Dou Changsheng. It seemed that he had controlled the scene, and was majestic and arrogant.
In fact, Dou Changsheng knew that this was just because they didn't want to confront him head-on. After they left, these people would definitely cause trouble.
Dou Changsheng had a solution to this problem and said to his Ninth Uncle: "Ninth Uncle held a banquet and all the officials were happy, so we plan to celebrate nine days and nine nights."
Uncle Dou Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he understood. He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "If any of you don't want to participate, just say so and I will arrange for someone to send him back."
go back?
I am afraid that I am not going home, but to the Palace of Hell.
He has already seen blood, who dares to believe what this shameless uncle and nephew say.
The county magistrate sighed, and finally said helplessly: "The prince is doing this because he plans to put us under house arrest first, and then raise an army to solidify the matter. By then, even if we have three mouths, we will not be able to explain it, and we will have to be coerced. The road ends in darkness.”
Dou Changsheng said without hesitation: "Not bad."
"Even if the imperial court puts down the rebellion afterwards, it is impossible for them to listen to your explanation. Even if the imperial court does, what about the generals who put down the rebellion?"
"Every one of you has made meritorious deeds. If you are missing a few people, you will be missing a lot of credit."
"The general does not lack these merits, but he has his nephews, his beloved generals, and countless people who want to make progress."
"They all have their mouths wide open, waiting to devour you."
Jun Cheng shook his head and said: "No need to say anything, Your Majesty, I am willing to work together."
"But the crown prince is still too conservative and is too young to be crowned prince. Shouldn't he raise an army to seize the opportunity?"
"Why not just claim the title of king."
"Although Tai'an County cannot hold up the throne, it will be enough to conquer all four directions by raising troops first. After taking over one state, it will be enough to claim the throne."
"And the prince leads the army and achieves this unparalleled achievement, which is enough to convince the officials. When the time comes, he can go further without the need for the prince to give up his throne."
"After all, the prince is a minister of Chen. It would be better for the prince to directly claim the title of king."
Crazy?
This county magistrate's plan is really crazy.
He directly passed Uncle Dou Jiu and plundered everything.
This is a provocation, and it is obvious that this county magistrate is not willing to accept it.
Since ancient times, for power, not to mention brothers fighting, there have been many cases of fathers and sons killing each other.
Although Uncle Dou Jiu is about to die, he is not dead after all. Are you willing to give up everything now?
As long as they don't give in, there will be cracks between the uncle and nephew.
Both father and son would fall into the trap, not to mention they were just uncle and nephew.
As long as he delays for a moment or two and drags out the time, Jun Cheng is not afraid of being jealous and suspicious of his uncle and nephew. Because this uncle and nephew are so crazy, Jun Cheng is already thinking of running away.
But it was obvious that Jun Cheng's plan had failed. Uncle Dou Jiu clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Not bad."
"He is indeed a talented person from the Dong family. He really has real abilities."
"When Lao Dong was alive, he always boasted to me. I didn't take it seriously. I never thought that he had been hiding his clumsiness for so many years. Now this strategy has won my heart."
"King Xia, he is just the right person for my family."
grass.
Dong Juncheng cursed secretly in his heart.
Who is Uncle Dou Jiu?
Dong Juncheng knew clearly that there was no problem for the other party to sincerely pass on the legacy, but this Uncle Dou Jiu was also a person who was extremely thirsty for power. Even if he was seriously ill, he would not let go of power. Otherwise, with the other party's ability, many It is possible to live for three to five years.
Now his life is not long, and it is not because he often takes care of the big and small things in Tai'an County.
The strategy just now can be said to be 100% successful, but now it is also 100% because it is followed by the word failure.
Dong Juncheng had to suspect that Uncle Dou Jiu was possessed by evil spirits.
Dou Changsheng reached out and grabbed Dong Juncheng's wrist, praising him again and again: "Good strategy."
"You can reach the sky in one step, eliminating all the trouble."
"Dong Juncheng has the talents of a king and will serve as a general and prime minister."
"I also ask Dong Juncheng to work with me to overthrow the brute force and bring justice to the world."
Dong Juncheng became a Muggle. He felt the power on his wrist and saw a murderous young man looking at him eagerly. He couldn't help but shuddered and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty."
"No."
After reorganizing his words, he said:
"Able to serve the king."
"It's a small man's honor."
Dou Changsheng patted Dong Juncheng's shoulder affectionately and looked at the others. Some immediately lowered their heads and expressed their willingness to join the army, but there were still many die-hards, and Dou Changsheng was directly imprisoned.
This time, the key to the secret realm strategy is the word "quick".
Dou Changsheng had no intention of scheming with these people. Uncle Dou Jiu had been in charge of Tai'an County for so many years, and he always had some loyal confidants. Although they were reluctant to contradict him, they would still carry out his orders.
With their cooperation and the abilities of his brothers, this is enough to control Tai'an County.
The rest is to capture the four directions, and then the world will be in chaos. When they see the benefits, they don't need to take the initiative to conquer them. Each of them will automatically become their own dog.
Unfortunately, there is no useful one.
Only Dong Juncheng has some ability.
That's right, this Tai'an County is just a remote place. It would be strange if there were so many talented people.
After several trials, Dou Changsheng has already made it clear that Uncle Dou Jiu is completely a tool. With Dong Juncheng's instigating words just now, Dou Changsheng allowed the other party to do what he said and used this to test him. Now he is very satisfied with the result, so Dou's style is acting out. Not only was he trying to push the envelope, he was already occupying the magpie's nest and started giving orders directly: "In front of Tai'an County is Nanling County."
"I appoint you as the vanguard and give you a thousand elites."
"Capture Nanling County."
"I have only one goal, and that is to move forward, move forward, and keep moving forward."
Seeing this, Dong Juncheng couldn't help but interjected: "Nanling County is just like its name. One mountain is higher than the other, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the pass is steep."
"You can't take it lightly, you have to be cautious."
"Especially at this level, since we were controlled by the imperial court, we no longer have the qualifications to be free and easy, and can only continue to be vassals."
"The territory is constantly being invaded because with Nanling Pass, we have no danger to defend it. But if we seize Nanling Pass, we can separate one side without fear of the imperial court."
"But because of this, the imperial court has always maintained a large army."
"Even if we raise an army, we can't be so bold."
"Is there anyone else who has ever led troops? An airborne general doesn't know the generals, and the soldiers don't know the generals. How can he win?"
"And this one knows how to get to Nanling Pass? Who is the guard?"
"How many troops are there?"
"How to defend the city? How many monks are there?"
"besides."
Suddenly Dong Juncheng gave up, because Huang Sanxi's eyes were blank in front of him, and it was obvious that he didn't know anything, so Dong Juncheng was like a broken balloon, all the air was deflated.
Sit on the chair and act like a corpse.
grass.
Dead.
No more struggling.
I have pity on my boss, I only have five wives.
