Three months later.
A gentle breeze blew, bringing coolness to the earth.
On the dark sky, patches of snowflakes continued to fall.
Snowing.
Dou Changsheng, who was walking out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, couldn't help but stretch out his palms and feel the snowflakes melting. He looked up at the sky and looked at the snowflakes all over the sky.
Looking at the courtiers who walked out in twos and threes, Dou Changsheng was out of tune with them and had been completely isolated.
Dou Changsheng has turned a blind eye to this, because this is not the first time that this has happened. This has been the case since Dou Changsheng first went to court.
The princelings hated Dou Changsheng and naturally did not want to be involved with Dou Changsheng. However, some officials who remained neutral did not want to offend Dou Changsheng or be involved with Dou Changsheng, so they chose to turn a blind eye.
If you take the initiative to contact them, they will respond, but it is completely business-like, not to please or offend, that is their attitude.
This made Dou Changsheng very uninterested in going to court.
But you can refuse ordinary morning court meetings, but some morning court meetings are not. Today's big court meeting is a must.
Because the dispute between the Minister of Rites and the Ministry of Rites that had been going on for three months in the court has now been settled, even if the King of Jin and his party try their best to stop it, they still can't stop Wang Shifan, who was promoted by the prince, from joining the cabinet to become the prime minister.
Wang Shifan, who is famous for his filial piety, has a very high reputation.
This is the most suitable candidate for Minister of Rites. No one in the world is more suitable than Wang Shifan. The King of Jin cannot even recommend a candidate who can compete with Wang Shifan.
The Crown Prince was able to defeat the King of Jin. Dou Changsheng could clearly see that it was the many hard-working people in the court who supported the Crown Prince.
Wang Shifan's father was raised by gods and demons, and the connections behind him were all-powerful. For today's Great Zhou Dynasty, he lacked the support of gods and demons. Even if Wang Shifan could not fully represent the gods and demons, the gods and demons would not speak.
But when Wang Shifan showed his attitude, the increasingly bad situation in the world could not help but change. Dou Changsheng could see from the six doors that the number of criminal cases sent from all over the world had decreased a lot.
This is what the Zhou Dynasty lacks most, so many neutral and practical people, these loyal courtiers, choose to support the prince.
Compared with this, King Jin is really a waste. The situation that was originally unfavorable for the prince has now been gradually brought back by the prince. The strength of the princeling party is recovering and it has begun to steadily suppress the King of Jin party.
However, Dou Changsheng knew that this did not mean that the King of Jin was incompetent, but that the prince held great righteousness and was the great Zhou Zhengshuo. He was the seat of orthodoxy and could naturally unite people's hearts.
The prince has great advantages in recruiting local scholars.
Dou Changsheng had a premonition in his heart that these stable days were over. When Wang Shifan came to Shendu from Youzhou, the princelings had gained momentum, and the next step was to attack him.
After standing at the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a long time, Dou Changsheng was about to leave and return to the mansion when a low voice came from behind: "You should resign and return home."
"The official position of the Lord of the Vermilion Bird Hall is too dangerous now. It is better to return to the Chen Di fiefdom and be your own Chen Guogong. You can live freely in the fiefdom, with three thousand heavy-armored soldiers, and no one can do anything to you."
Dou Changsheng did not look back, but he knew who was speaking. It was his old acquaintance, the former Wang Zhoumu of Qizhou and now the Zuo Shilang of Hube.
After the other party came to Shendu, Dou Changsheng met the other party several times, always at court meetings. There was no contact in private, but the relationship was good because the elders of the other party's clan were managing the business for Dou Changsheng.
With Wang Lao's affection, the relationship between the two parties is good.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for such words of comfort to come from the mouth of Wang Shilang.
Wang Shilang continued to preach: "Six doors and four halls, Zhuque Hall is now in charge of the criminal justice system in Shendu. Suzaku Hall is responsible for all large and small cases in Shendu. In normal times, it would be fine, but now it is the time to seize the throne." crucial moment."
"The position of the master of the Suzaku Palace is very important. He can eliminate dissidents for the prince or the king of Jin. Even if he cannot get the other party to be dismissed from office, he can still be involved in a major case and make the other party suspicious, thus temporarily removing this threat."
Wang Shilang's voice was bitter, and he spoke bitterly: "Originally, the Crown Prince and the King of Jin fought fiercely, but the most they could do was to be dismissed. But the last time you tricked Chen Renmei to death, what you did was really bad."
"It is the best choice to let the master of the Vermillion Bird Palace out and leave the capital of God to return to Chen Di."
Wang Shilang finally said tentatively: "The Duke has been too quiet recently, but what are you preparing for?"
Dou Changsheng shrugged his shoulders and sighed quietly.
This is not the first person to say this.
I have been practicing hard for the past three months and am working hard to make up for my shortcomings. At the same time, I am waiting for the "Devil Fighting Illustration" to be repaired successfully, and I also plan to participate in the black market in seven days.
If the prince does not take the initiative to make trouble, Dou Changsheng will not cause trouble. Basically, he will never leave the door without taking a step forward. However, this attitude makes people misunderstand and think that he is holding back a big move.
Dou Changsheng had no intention of talking to Wang Shilang anymore. He turned his back to Wang Shilang and walked toward the outside of the imperial city. When he got into his luxurious carriage outside the imperial city, he found that someone had already arrived uninvited.
The King of Jin was holding a bronze mirror and was looking in the mirror. After seeing Dou Changsheng, he put down the bronze mirror in his hand and took the initiative to say: "The Duke also saw it at the meeting today. The prince brother has invited Wang Shifan out."
"After Du Beiyuan became official and Wang Shifan came to power, the support of the Ministry of Rites for the prince's brother will not weaken, but will become stronger."
"There is no way Du Beiyuan can compare with Wang Normal University, no matter the reputation, status, or background, there is no way he can compare with him."
King Jin looked slightly ugly. Wang Shifan was an enhanced version of Du Beiyuan. He had driven away a wolf and welcomed back a tiger.
"The hussar general has been delaying for so long. When Wang Shifan arrives, he will definitely not be able to delay it any longer. If Ning Guogong really comes out and plans to serve as the hussar general, the princelings will be even stronger."
King Jin looked at Dou Changsheng eagerly, wanting Dou Changsheng to give him a perfect solution.
Gu Shi
Dou Changsheng frowned deeply and looked at Prince Jin in front of him.
Why.
I have been forced to go to Liangshan. People do not harm tigers, but tigers harm people's hearts.
I got to this point without realizing it.
Dou Changsheng was in a complicated mood, and King Jin spoke again: "The Duke has been preparing for three months. I believe he is ready. When will he attack the prince?"
"I know that the Duke is the kind of person who pursues perfection, but we really can't delay it any longer. Wang Shifan is not an ordinary person, but before he came to the capital of God, he completely defeated the princelings and established victory."
The King of Jin spoke confidently: "I have confidence in the Duke. I have been preparing for so long and the prince brother will definitely not be able to stop me."
"The Duke has shown his demeanor in cracking the case of the Spirit Clan mission. It's not just a matter of controlling a mere princeling."
Dou Changsheng was a little confused. He had just practiced hard for a period of time. Why did everyone think that he was holding back his ultimate move and still pinched it with his hands? If he had this ability, he would not be in the embarrassing situation of being neither better nor worse.
Speaking of the Spirit Tribe Mission case, Dou Changsheng is still very angry even after several months.
It was obviously all the conspiracy of the Shang national master, but in the Tianji Bao, it was actually his own conspiracy, saying that he was the real culprit behind the scenes, and step by step he forced the Shang national master to death, and also tricked Chen Renmei to death. It seemed like killing two birds with one stone, you If you think so, you are totally wrong.
I don't know where the news came from, saying that he is the ace killer of Jinfeng Yeyu Tower. Every time he kills someone, he can get a reward in Jinfeng Yeyu Tower.
This is pure slander. For this reason, Dou Changsheng asked King Chen to personally investigate and give himself justice. After the fact investigation, no clues were found, but the people in the world refused to recognize it, thinking that he had hidden it too deeply.
It can be said that the sarcasm about making money is crazy, winning like crazy, etc. has never stopped.
This is also one of the reasons for being isolated.
Refers to a deer as a horse.
When everyone thinks that a deer is a horse, it’s up to you to be sober. That’s not called sober, that’s called crazy.
When everyone in the world thought that Dou Changsheng had been too quiet recently, it was just when he was preparing for his ultimate move. It was impossible to explain. The first few people, Dou Changsheng, even spent a lot of time talking. After they agreed, the last one If you don't believe it, you are just trying to deal with Dou Changsheng.
Dou Changsheng was too lazy to explain, and they didn't believe him even after he said it, and they took the truth as a lie.
Dou Changsheng sighed again in his heart.
He knew that it was the prince who wanted to persecute him, but in the eyes of the world, it was he who wanted to persecute the prince.
King Jin looked at Dou Changsheng, who was indifferent to oil and salt, and knew that he was a ruthless man who would never take action without giving him a favor.
However, the other party is also very particular and will do anything as long as the benefits are in place.
In terms of reputation, that's not mentioned.
King Jin came here empty-handed. He stretched out his hand and took out a wooden box.
The wooden box was relatively delicate. When opened, there was a layer of red cloth inside. King Jin slowly opened the red cloth, and what appeared was a palm-sized herb.
The herb has a special color, like the light of stars.
Hazy, pure and illusory.
It gives people a sense of unreality, somewhere between reality and fiction.
Sancai Xing Ling Cao.
This is an extremely precious medicinal material. Its effect is to turn the void into reality. It is an excellent helper for the fourth level of martial arts to transform the void phase into the legal phase.
King Jin looked at the Star Grass in his hand and said with a little reluctance: "This is the Ten Thousand Years Star Grass. It has extraordinary medicinal effects. This material can help the Duke, and the Duke's success rate in proving the Tao and Dharma can be increased by 10%."
"I have prepared a lot of similar things. Whether it is Qi training or body training, it can increase the success rate of enlightenment."
No matter how good things are, they are not as good as necessary.
King Jin knew this, so he took out all the good things he had collected. Looking at the indifferent Dou Changsheng, he gritted his teeth and said more loudly: "That red rabbit and fire dragon colt."
"I also gave it to the Duke."
Dou Changsheng, who had been in a daze, suddenly came to his senses and said, "That is His Highness's beloved thing."
"How could I want it?"
King Jin's heart was bleeding, but he refused and said: "No."
"As the saying goes, a BMW goes with a hero, and pink goes with a beautiful woman."
"The Red Rabbit and Fire Dragon Colt is in the hands of a lone person, but the pearl is dim. Only in the hands of the Duke can it shine brightly."
"Please accept it, Lord."
"Otherwise, you just look down on Gu."
