Imperial City, Guangxiu Hall.
The Guangxiu Hall is made of gold bricks and jade tiles, and is majestic, like a mountain standing majestically between heaven and earth.
Guangxiu Hall is one of the three major halls. Among the three major halls, Taihe Hall is now the place where courtiers gather in the early morning. It is the head of the three major halls and its status is unshakable. The remaining two major halls have been occupied by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong.
Regardless of the functions of the remaining two halls in the past, they have now become the place where Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong lived and met with courtiers. As for the King of Jin, of course there is no place for the King of Jin in the imperial city.
After all, Taizong and Gaozong had been emperors. When the supreme throne was vacant, their actions were not considered transgression.
At this time in the Guangxiu Hall, Dou Changsheng was kneeling behind the table, just to the left of the main throne. At this time, in the spacious hall, only Dou Changsheng and Emperor Taizong were sitting upright, with other maids, chambermaids, dancers, guards, etc. , no less than a hundred people, large and small, were waiting for the two of them.
The clear chords flow through your ears, and you feel a tenderness and a heart beating like fire, like some lively and light elves, baptizing the soul.
On both sides of the hall, there is a violinist playing the piano, and the tall body of the dancer in the central area is showing her graceful figure, like an elf in the wind.
Dou Changsheng was drinking fine wine, eating delicious food, and enjoying the singing and dancing.
The piano players and dancers who were able to be taken into the palace by Emperor Taizong were all the best in the world. If one of the girls in front of them were alone, if they were released to the outside world, they would be a generation master, enough to serve as a leader in the palace of a prince.
Emperor Taizong's courtesy was beyond the norm, and sugar-coated bullets were constantly fired at Dou Changsheng. The two were enjoying each other happily. After more than an hour, it was completely a blessing, but the purpose of coming here became a trivial matter.
Emperor Taizong listened carefully to Dou Changsheng's words. After Dou Changsheng finished speaking, he said slowly: "Dou Qing, there is no need to worry. This is a deliberate instigation by the traitor."
"It has been more than a hundred years now. Everything in the past has become a thing of the past. I have been dead for a long time. Now I come back to the mountain again, entirely for the sake of the Emperor Zhou Jiangshan Sheji."
"There is no selfish intention. Here I can give Dou Qing a guarantee that I will put past events and all grudges in the past."
"No."
"Not only the matter of Marquis Yingping, but also other matters in the past, I will also issue a simile."
"Don't care about the past, just talk about the present."
Emperor Taizong's tone was still condescending and full of toughness. He did not realize that he had done anything wrong. Dou Changsheng also knew that this was normal. How could the emperor be wrong? Everything was the fault of his ministers.
If the emperor does not retaliate, but takes the initiative to cancel the previous hatred, this is a great favor.
This means that if you want your ministers to die, they must die. Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness.
This is a cognitive issue. Dou Changsheng believes it if he is the King of Jin, but not Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong was not a high-ranking prince when he was a child. Although he was a child of a noble family, he did not have this education.
In particular, Emperor Taizong really knew the sufferings of the world. The great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji was defeated by Emperor Taizu, the prince and Emperor Taizong with one sword and one shot.
This is an emperor who has experienced the founding of a country, and King Jin was really born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of women.
Dou Changsheng did not go into details. If he had the first-level martial arts strength now, Dou Changsheng would dare to say, Your Majesty is wrong. If Emperor Taizong was not convinced, Dou Changsheng would dare to slap the table. Now Dou Changsheng picked up the wine glass and suddenly He stood up and bowed to Emperor Taizong.
Then he spoke in admiration: "Your Majesty has a magnanimous bearing that has never been seen in the ages."
"I offer you a drink, Your Majesty."
After finishing his words, Dou Changsheng drank the wine in one gulp.
This time the goal has been achieved, and a reconciliation with Emperor Taizong was reached. Of course, this is not permanent. If it can be used as a conspiracy, it must be a thorn in the side that cannot be pulled out. However, a short-term reconciliation will be enough, and Dou Changsheng can leave the divine capital. Then complete the little destiny.
If Little Destiny relies on the power of the Yinji Sect, this is not too difficult at all. What does it mean to be a second-level martial arts grandmaster? Dou Changsheng can mobilize it now, but this is an external force. Now Little Destiny has it easy, but people are doing it , God is watching, the great destiny is about to be returned.
Therefore, it is better not to rely on external force. At most, it will be roundabout assistance and cannot be relied on.
When it comes to the Great Destiny, it is not so complicated, because the Great Destiny is too difficult, it requires exhausting everything and using all available means.
As long as he reaches the upper third level and the reforged Ice Soul Sword is promoted, he will really be the number one person in the world.
When Dou Changsheng raised his sleeves, covered his face and drank the drink, all kinds of beautiful futures emerged in his mind.
A graceful arc appeared on his face, which had disappeared when the sleeves fell down, and the changes in his expression were just right to be hidden from outsiders.
"Drink."
Dou Changsheng sat down, and Emperor Taizong also toasted frequently. After these words, the atmosphere became more harmonious, and the best part had begun, and the business exchanges began.
"Someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between Dou Qing and me this time. They are really overestimating their own abilities. Little did they know that Dou Qing has already seen through everything."
Dou Changsheng smiled and said: "Even if I can see through this, it is not because of your majesty's magnanimity, otherwise you will fall into the scheme of the thieves."
"The thief had a perfect plan, but he underestimated His Majesty, which caused the biggest flaw."
"Rumors will appear next. Your Majesty, please crack down severely and make all the thieves' plans come to nothing."
Emperor Taizong nodded and said: "It should be."
"Now that I know the thief's plan, how can I still fall into it? Dou Qing can rest assured that I will not only break this plan, but also find out the mastermind behind it."
Dou Changsheng stood up and bowed down: "Please, Your Majesty."
Then he said slowly: "It's getting late, I can't stay in the imperial city overnight."
Emperor Taizong said: "Eunuch Cao went to the inner treasury, ordered three jars of fine wine, and sent ten kilograms of Tianchang fruit to Dou Qing's residence."
Dou Changsheng thanked him again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After waiting for a while, Dou Changsheng left with the reward, but when he left, he looked back at Guangxiu Palace. This Eunuch Cao was Cao Shaoyang. When Wang Changgong killed the king, he suffered heavy injuries, with an arm broken and his own muscles and bones also destroyed. , even after recovery, it is only 50% to 60% of its peak, and will never be able to return to its peak.
But now this person gave Dou Changsheng a very terrifying feeling. He was not an old, frail, and weakened supreme master, but definitely a supreme master at his peak.
The Secret Technique of Seizing a Body, "The Art of Seizing Spirits by Heavenly Demons"
Scenes of the Xiaoyuan massacre in the past appeared.
At first, I only thought that the Qianyuan Blood Burning Pill was scary, but now it seems that this "Sky Demon Seizing Spirit Art" is also very scary and a source of disaster. It took only a long time for the injury to heal and it has returned to its peak.
I also knew in my heart that this was because Emperor Taizong did not hesitate to do so, otherwise Cao Shaoyang would not have surrendered to Emperor Taizong, but it was still too terrible.
With the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this kind of project promoted by the unified dynasty really started to do evil, and the impact was too great.
Cao Shaoyang held a whisk in his hand and stopped at the entrance of Guangxiu Hall, watching Dou Changsheng's back disappear. Then he slowly walked into Guangxiu Hall, watching the piano players and dancers in Guangxiu Hall disappear, and congratulated Emperor Taizong: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Dou Changsheng is already hooked."
"It will never be clear that it was His Majesty who plotted against him this time, not Prince Jin."
Cao Shaoyang smiled and said slowly: "To deal with such smart people, you can't go straight, you have to make a slight detour, because such smart people will think too much."
"You have to cover it up a little, and then you can believe the facts you discovered."
Emperor Taizong raised his hand, waved it slightly and said, "Wrong."
"Your idea has already been seen through by Dou Changsheng."
"Do you think that when Dou Changsheng came here this time, he really saw that it was King Jin's plan, and then he didn't want to fall into the scheme, so he had a showdown with me to break the situation?"
"If Dou Changsheng doesn't come, then Dou Changsheng will come to the imperial city to see me in person, just as you think. I believe Dou Changsheng has seen through it. This is not King Jin's plan."
"You come to see me here to reconcile, but at the same time you are testing me."
"Dou Changsheng has already become suspicious of me. If I hadn't been prepared in advance, Dou Changsheng would have seen through the truth and known who the real mastermind behind this was."
Emperor Taizong clapped his hands and praised him: "What a formidable opponent. He is indeed a man of integrity despite his great reputation."
Cao Shaoyang's expression kept changing, as if he didn't notice all this. He kept alternating between regretful and happy expressions, and finally showed a look of joy. He once again congratulated and said: "I almost messed up the matter, but your majesty is far-sighted and insightful." Everything, I saw through Dou Changsheng’s little thoughts.”
Emperor Taizong was in high spirits and looked at Cao Shaoyang with a smile. He knew clearly that Cao Shaoyang was trying to make people happy and deliberately pretended to be stupid, but Emperor Taizong was still happy. After all, he was a supreme master.
This time, the calculation against Dou Changsheng was divided into several levels. It was a thorough investigation of Dou Changsheng. This Dou Changsheng was undoubtedly extremely smart.
I have to say that there is really no flaw in this act of stupidity.
If it hadn't been for his great reputation, and if I had carefully observed him, taking advantage of the convenience of his home court, and the blessing of secret techniques, and not missing any detail, I really wouldn't have discovered the sarcasm he showed while drinking.
This small flaw was really not a flaw. Dou Changsheng was very careful. If he moved to another place, he would not be able to find it.
It's a pity that Dou Changsheng must have deeply doubted himself if he was discovered anyway.
But the words the other party said while pretending to be stupid cannot be false. They really want to reconcile and do not want to have a short-term conflict. There must be a buffer time.
etc.
You can find flaws yourself.
This may have been Dou Changsheng's initiative.
Emperor Taizong couldn't help but start to review Dou Changsheng's every move.
horrible.
This is a truly terrible man.
It actually gave me the feeling of middle-aged Zhang Tianzheng.
Emperor Taizong once again reviewed the situation. For this kind of person, you should think more, consider more, think deeply, and guess more about the other party's actions. Every step of the other party has a purpose. What seems useless is actually foreshadowing for the future.
This is the experience I summed up after suffering countless losses from Zhang Tianzheng.
After thinking for a long time, Emperor Taizong couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's terrible."
"If you are not a smart person, you will not be able to see this sarcasm. It is completely different from my temptation."
"I originally thought that I had laid out several layers of schemes to get to the bottom of Dou Changsheng, but in fact, Dou Changsheng used the scheme to get to the bottom of me."
"Repay the other person with his own way."
"Dou Changsheng is a powerful enemy!"
