Qinglongfang, Zhao Mansion.
There was a lot of traffic and people outside the door, and a wide street was now beginning to become congested.
Now the spacious courtyard is covered with a bright red carpet. Dou Changsheng is sitting behind the table, occupying the main seat, as if he is a dove occupying a magpie's nest. Instead, he is the master of Zhao Mansion. Zhao Wudu has become a foil, sitting on one side. behind the desk.
Today is the day when Zhao Wudu and the others return to the divine capital from the outer world, and Dou Changsheng personally takes care of them.
This group of people cannot be ignored, because they came not only to support Dou Changsheng, but also to claim a share of the blessed land. Their investment was a great success. Dou Changsheng lived up to expectations and successfully seized the blessed land, but he did not get the share in the end. Rather uneasy.
Dou Changsheng looked around and found that none of the people coming from the sky were strangers. They were all familiar guys, such as Xu Hou, Lu Hou, Feng Hou and others.
Although they are all old guys, their strength is not weak. They are still at the end of their fighting years. It will not be difficult for them to fight for another ten or twenty years. Although none of them are first-level martial arts, they can be named by themselves. But all of them are at the second level of martial arts.
After these people arrived, they immediately made up for the situation where no one was available, and they can be said to be full-fledged.
You must know that this person is the master of a country, has extremely rich political struggles, and has experienced wars to destroy the country. He can be considered to know military strategy, and he can be said to be a versatile man in both civil and military affairs.
They must have strength and wisdom, and the best thing is that they come from heaven and beyond. They have no worries in the human world and can only rely on themselves. This can ensure their loyalty.
This is a group of people who dare to swing their swords at Dazhou. Unlike other masters of Suzaku Palace, they have to hesitate for a moment or two when encountering this kind of situation. They may betray themselves when they look back.
Guan Xinran stood aside, personally holding the wine pot and pouring wine for Dou Changsheng and everyone. A grand master was doing the work of a boy. This scene was watched by Xu Hou and others. Shock appeared in their eyes, and Dou immediately felt Immortality is different.
Nowadays, Dou Changsheng is famous all over the world, and his fame is so strong that it has resounded to all races. It is no longer the time when he was in Tianwaitian in the past. Everyone began to be cautious. Xu Hou frequently looked at the big man with the iron tower in the other direction.
This was the source of their shock. Although Guan Xinran was a master, he was already quite old. His potential was limited at first glance, and his future as a second-level martial artist was slim. On the contrary, it was this big man who looked rough and older, but that It is also the result of rough skin and years of living in the open air. Especially, every move is full of military spirit. This is a master who came out of the army.
A grandmaster who was not too old, had such a good physique, and was extremely talented at first glance. He was definitely a genius. He stood on one side obediently, like a door god, and began to stand guard for them.
Xu Hou was shocked, Guan Xinran was also awe-inspiring, and immediately felt lucky. Fortunately, he took the initiative to become a slave under Dou Changsheng. Otherwise, when the group of people from Tianwaitian arrived, there would be no place for him.
There are many powerful people in front of me, including several second-grade martial arts masters, and they are all the masters of a country. They are all rich in experience. Compared with them, I have no advantage, and my strength is far inferior. I have no competitiveness at all. I will definitely Slowly becoming marginalized, it will be difficult to even meet Dou Changsheng in the future.
Dou Changsheng raised his hand to pick up the wine cup, and everyone quickly raised their glasses. Dou Changsheng did not play tricks, and went straight to the topic: "Everyone, don't worry, I, Dou Changsheng, promise a thousand pieces of gold, and I will never go back on what I promised."
"It was agreed at the beginning that after seizing the Blessed Land, we would give up dominating the whole Blessed Land and choose to distribute the shares of the Blessed Land. And this share will be divided equally among the gentlemen according to their contribution. I will share the hardships and the wealth together."
As soon as these six words came out, the effect was immediate, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated. Marquis Feng stood up in excitement and shouted loudly: "We share hardships and share wealth."
"Together in adversity, we share wealth."
Others also shouted. Who was not feeling excited at this moment? What a blessed place it was?
Although the share obtained is not large, it is also for Blessed Land. In fact, it is a huge resource for each of their families, especially since this is not ten years or a hundred years, but thousands of years, and the share will gradually decrease in the future. , but the descendants still retain their wealth.
Thousands of years of wealth will be passed down for countless generations. Who can endure this kind of fortune?
Everyone looked at Dou Changsheng passionately, their eyes full of longing, as if Dou Changsheng was a peerless delicacy, and they wished they could eat Dou Changsheng alive. The share has only been initially decided. The specific amount has not yet been divided in detail. Of course, even if it is detailed, Dou Changsheng vetoed it and started over again. They could accept it and they had to accept it.
Dou Changsheng looked at the fiery atmosphere, and actually felt a little excited in his heart. This was the exaggeration of the atmosphere. A lot of passion and impulsive things were done, which was the result of the atmosphere.
Dou Changsheng raised his hand, and the shouting suddenly stopped. Dou Changsheng drank the wine in the cup and said, "Everyone, please drink!"
Seeing everyone draining the wine in the wine cup, Dou Changsheng said bluntly: "In terms of merit, it should be Lao Quhou."
"At the beginning, Xiao Tianyou was lurking behind us and started to attack and destroy everywhere. It was Lao Quhou who led the crowd, risked the arrows himself, and refused to retreat in a bloody battle. Only then did he successfully hold Xiao Tianyou back, and only then did he achieve a great victory. Xiao Tianyou only Save yourself."
"His merits are greater than those of other princes."
"Qu Hou?"
A middle-aged man stood up. His face was full of tears at this moment. Tears were dripping down his cheeks and his nose was running. He was completely out of control. He knelt down three times and kowtowed to Dou Changsheng solemnly and said: "With these words of the Duke, my father, the Marquis, I can smile happily."
Feng Hou snorted coldly in his heart and looked at Qu Hou, full of coldness and coyness.
This time, Lao Quhou was lucky. Qu State is not a big country, and its strength is not too strong in the world. But I never thought that Lao Quhou was lucky. The battle turned out to be near Qu State. He rushed up and died happily. , Marquis Feng couldn't help but look at Marquis Xu, and the unhappiness in his heart immediately dissipated.
Compared with Lao Quhou, this Xuhou is a typical person who steals the chicken but loses the rice. He almost lost his life, but it was so close that the credit is not obvious, especially after being injured, he did not participate enough in the remaining battles. , Xu Hou, who should have been among the top three in merit, suddenly fell to the bottom.
This is thousands of years of wealth, and Xu Hou may have murderous intentions.
Just as Feng Hou thought, Xu Hou's face was distorted, as if an evil ghost was alive. He was unwilling, very unwilling. Just that little difference was a world of difference, a difference between cloud and mud.
After Dou Changsheng opened his mouth, he looked at Liang Gongyu and said, "Please Mr. Liang personally take out the contract."
Reaching out to take the contract handed over by Liang Gongyu, Dou Changsheng said solemnly: "It is written in black and white, in triplicate. You and I each have one copy. The remaining copy will be handed over to the gods and demons and will be taken care of by the human race gods and demons. If future generations question it, they can do so." Please be fair to the gods and demons.”
"I, Dou Changsheng, spit at the same time and nail each other. No one can play tricks and usurp each other's shares. As long as there is something wrong, you can ask the gods and demons for justice. If you find something fishy, then you will kill people and exterminate the clan. We will never tolerate it."
"Don't think that I am lying about this matter. I have already told Senior Yuanjun Bichen that I am going to Tianwaitian this time. Yuanjun is willing to vouch for us. Don't say that I was unpredicted."
Qu Hou was the first to express his loyalty, beating his chest vigorously and saying: "My descendants will serve your descendants as their master from generation to generation. Heaven and earth can learn from it, and the sun and moon are proof. If they have second thoughts, they will be struck by lightning that day, and they will not die well." "
Feng Hou knelt down on the ground and began to swear loudly. In a blink of an eye, it became a swearing meeting, and everyone was told one by one. This kind of thing may seem vulgar and embarrassing, but in fact it is an inevitable process.
Because with their words, they have set the rules. If you violate the rules in the future, there will be traces to follow and you can be punished, and no one else can say anything.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"Sign and press bloody fingerprints."
"If you are dissatisfied with the share, you can speak out freely. You all know that I, Dou Changsheng, never like to talk in public."
Marquis Feng cut his palm, pressed his fingerprints, and said sincerely: "No one will be dissatisfied."
Because I am dissatisfied with being resented, losing my share is still a trivial matter, and I am afraid I will not be able to leave this mansion.
The heart is like the eye of a needle and the sinuses are immortal, how can it be a wasted reputation?
In the blink of an eye, everyone received their shares. Dou Changsheng looked at the contract that Liang Gongyu put away. This bloody handprint contained their blood and their breath. In the future, future generations could use it to verify the authenticity. If the fraud could be hidden from a god, Demon, Dou Changsheng also recognized it, after all, this is a real skill.
The time is slightly ahead of time, the Palace of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial City.
Taizong and Gaozong are sitting high on the throne, and a chair is placed below the dragon chair in the middle. Xu Changqing is sitting on it. The position is lower than that of Taizong and Gaozong, but it is located in the center, which also symbolizes the head of Xu Changqing's cabinet. auxiliary position.
Xu Changqing reached out and held a brochure. After scanning it, he threw it directly to Wang Shifan and said, "Let's take a look."
Wang Shifan glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "We share wealth and adversity, we all shout out."
"What does Dou Changsheng want to do?"
Tall and burly, like a giant Gongye Stone, he looked up at the current Minister of Rites. Since Du Beiyuan left, Wang Shifan, a disciple of gods and demons, has been very conscientious in his duties. He lowered his head again and began to polish himself carefully. Fingernails.
The recasting of the Ice Soul Sword has been completed. Originally, it would not be so fast to cast a first-grade semi-divine weapon. However, with the help of the Xiahou Clan and the combined power of the Gongye Clan and the Xiahou Clan, it was shortened. Years passed.
Listening to their quarrel, Gong Yeshi became a little impatient. He grabbed the armrest with his broad palms and his loud voice resounded in all directions, like thunder, shaking the glazed tiles of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Isn't it just a matter of conferring the title of county king and prince? There is nothing to argue about."
"You are arguing about sharing weal and woe and wealth. If you really give it to the prince, it will be the Qingjun's betrayal."
Wang Shifan said dissatisfiedly: "I gave it to the prince today, what will I be granted next time? Then there will be no reward and no title."
Gong Yeshi stood up suddenly, his tall body like a wall, looked down at Wang Shifan and said: "Then add Jiuxi."
"If he wants to rebel, even if you give him the first assistant, he will still rebel."
"You just think too much."
After Gong Yeshi finished speaking, he turned around and left, not wanting to participate in the small court meeting.
If it were the early years of the dynasty, or if the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its peak, naturally it would not dare to do it, but whoever caused the Great Zhou Dynasty to decline, the Gongye family would also withdraw from Tiangong, and the five major military-making families took turns taking charge, and it was time for someone to take over. Gong Yeshi naturally doesn't care about some rules and restrictions.
Yang Kaitai also stood up and said, "What the hell is that, Prince?"
"If you really block him out, it would be a slap in the face. King Chen's title is not vacant. It happens that there is no owner in the six gates. At this time, no one dares to go to the six gates. Instead of continuing in this stalemate, it is better to simply grant Dou a favor. Immortality."
Wang Shifan's expression changed and he said with an ugly face: "King Chen, the leader of the six gates."
"Dou Changsheng is only in his early twenties, and he is about to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. There has never been such a precedent since the ancient dynasty was at its peak."
"Only in the last years of a dynasty, when eunuchs take over power and powerful ministers bring chaos to the country, will evildoers arise and the world be out of order."
Yang Kaitai sneered and said: "The imperial court is so stingy with rewards, doesn't it chill the hearts of the world?"
"Now that Dou Changsheng is still within the imperial system and serving the imperial court, do you really want to force Dou Changsheng away? Then he will resign and go into seclusion, and start plotting a rebellion in the local area to increase the strength of the rebel side."
After Yang Kaitai finished speaking, he also strode away. The wind direction has not been very good recently. As the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the number one person in the military, Yang Kaitai did not have a deep background in his early years. However, since the Ding Revolution incident, Yang Kaitai's connections have become very good.
Since then, some people have begun to eagerly come together to plan for the future, and Yang Kaitai, who is in charge of military power, is the most important among them.
Sometimes the general who counter-rebellion does not necessarily mean that he cannot fight, but that he cannot fight.
Xu Changqing looked at the two people who had expressed their opinions one after another, especially Yang Kaitai, who was the most important, and this was the second assistant. He directly made a decision and said: "Become King Chen and be promoted to the head of the six sects."
"The matter of joining the cabinet to pay homage to the Prime Minister is postponed. The Heavenly Demon Sect in the south is about to be in chaos. Important ministers need to go to the south to take charge. If there is a rebellion, they must have the strength to suppress the local chaos."
Out of sight out of mind.
He doesn't have much time left as his chief assistant. This time he controls Dou Changsheng away. When he comes back, he will have left the capital of the gods long ago. Even if it is a disaster, it will not harm him.
Lu Tianen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, supported the sermon: "Yes."
"Because of the chaos in the Tianmo Sect in the south, taxes have dropped significantly. It's time to end it."
"It's just that the Ice Soul Sword cannot be cast. I'm afraid it won't leave the Divine Capital."
Xu Changqing said easily: "Go to the God of Work and select two treasures from the heavenly storehouse. It's not a problem to cast them in advance."
"The saint also has a lot of treasures in his inner treasury. You can go there if necessary."
Getting Dou Changsheng away as soon as possible is the most urgent matter.
But the words on his lips were: "The chaos in the Tianmo Sect will not end in one day, and the people will suffer."
"For the sake of the world and the great Zhou Dynasty, Dou Changsheng must go to the south."
