A night of practice is over.
Dou Changsheng stood up and took the initiative to take a look at the "Illustrated Book of Fighting Demons" and "Yam Luo Zhenjing Sutra". The progress was very good, but it was not as fast as eating flat peaches.
Looking at the [Living God], his eyes suddenly became focused.
The gain this time was undoubtedly huge, but the disadvantage was also very obvious. I lost a life.
If you die once, you will only have one life left.
No, I still have a puppet of life and death, and I can die twice, so I only have four lives, which is too few.
After a night of practice and plenty of time to study, Dou Changsheng found that he had underestimated the [Upgrade Order - Martial Arts]. It seemed that it could only be upgraded to the martial arts of gods and demons, and it would not directly reach Dacheng. It was far inferior to [ Upgrade Order - Weapon] is so powerful that it is directly a magic weapon.
But if you think about it carefully, the concept of martial arts is very broad. If you directly upgrade a powerful fist to the martial arts of gods and demons, it doesn't mean much. Now Dou Changsheng has many martial arts of gods and demons, which are completely useless. .
But what if it’s a martial arts film with extremely high intentions?
For example, the Emperor's Dragon Fist can easily forge a secret technique of the emperor's way.
Or various other weird abilities, which are completely promoted by [Upgrade Order - Martial Arts] to obtain various special abilities.
These martial arts involve broad concepts or are too advanced for gods and demons to create. Even if the innate gods and demons work together to deduce it, there may be many hidden dangers in the end. A martial arts of gods and demons that can make people realize the Tao, or even gods. You can practice cultivation even after reaching the demonic level. This is not something you can do easily.
Every piece of martial arts has not been refined over time and revised by generations of people.
Nowadays, there seem to be some unparalleled talents in the world who create their own martial arts and establish sects, but this is also the result of standing on the shoulders of their predecessors. They just integrate the martial arts of their predecessors, take the essence and discard the dross, and then Add your own ideas to create success.
There is no need for the [Upgrade Order - Martial Arts] in front of him. As long as Dou Changsheng has an idea and then creates a rough martial arts, he can directly save countless years and complete it in one step.
So this [Upgrade Order - Martial Arts] is already very strong, but the seemingly strong [Upgrade Order - Weapons] is restricted. Originally, if it were a divine weapon, it could be as powerful as [Upgrade Order - Martial Arts]. But with the word "weapon" on the back, it can only be limited to weapons.
Things like "Jade Ruyi" and so on are not included. There is no need to pick out words or play word games.
If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work.
This gives no chance at all. After all, this is a dead thing, and it is too difficult to take advantage of it.
Only living creatures can have a chance. Dou Changsheng has never used [River God Contract] because he felt that after two plans and strengthening [Natural God of War] and [Shadowless Wind], both Jin Dou and Yin Dou became stronger, but Ordinary sinus has not changed.
The last time I had one chance, I directly strengthened three people. This time, I had two chances and one person was missing. I was always a little unwilling in my heart. Not only did I strengthen three people twice during the two opportunities, I also had to at least take the ordinary Dou with me.
So you have to look for loopholes and bugs.
Although he doesn't think about it now, it's not necessary to use it now, so Dou Changsheng still has plenty of time to think about it. If he finally wants to figure it out, Dou Changsheng plans to brainstorm a similar example and then call on the wise men in the world. Let’s start researching together.
The arrangements must be made clear to the River God, so that he knows that there is a person named Dou here who is caring about him.
As long as it's a weapon, there aren't many options to choose from.
Dou Changsheng did not plan to use it immediately, but stored it for the time being. If it were not restricted by the [Upgrade Order - Weapon], the best way would actually be to use the twenty-eight constellations array, or array flags, etc. to help lay out a large array. The array’s treasure.
After Dou Changsheng briefly washed himself, he sat in the official sedan and started heading towards the imperial city.
Today's morning court must be attended, and Gaozong's various promises must be fulfilled.
The official sedan came slowly to the imperial city, and the journey was smooth. The rules for setting off the sedan in front of the palace had long been thrown away.
He didn't stop Dou Changsheng at all. Instead, he let him go all the way until he arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The official sedan was then lowered. Guan Xinran personally lowered the official sedan and began to open the curtain for Dou Changsheng.
A master servant looked sideways in all directions. When Dou Changsheng stepped off the official sedan and looked around, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at Dou Changsheng.
In private, each one was louder than the other, and they definitely didn't take Dou Changsheng seriously, but when it came to the situation, one would be more well-behaved than the other.
Dou Changsheng looked around and saw an acquaintance, the former Wang Zhoumu and today's Wang Shilang.
Most of the remaining officials are relatively unfamiliar. This is not because Dou Changsheng has little contact with them, but because he has never seen them at all. One can imagine how much the court has changed since Dou Changsheng left the court.
After Xu Changqing became unscrupulous, he eliminated dissidents, installed his cronies, and tested the bottom line of Gaozong and Taizong step by step, making them intolerable so that they could kill him.
It's a pity that both Gaozong and Taizong were more tolerant, and Xu Changqing changed the court again and again.
However, although there are many of these people, most of them are minor officials. The real high-ranking officials and ministers have not changed much. For example, the members of the cabinet are still the same people.
When Dou Changsheng walked to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he saw a seat placed next to the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The seat stands completely in front of the dragon chair. It is basically adjacent to the dragon chair. There is no gap. This dragon chair blocks it and makes the dragon chair a decoration. This is Xu Changqing's seat.
Although Dou Changsheng has not returned to Shendu, he has also heard about the demon phase's arrogance. This chair is basically the same as the dragon chair in terms of position and height. It is even a chair made of pure gold, modeled after the dragon chair. It just doesn’t have the five-clawed golden dragon pattern on the dragon chair.
After Xu Changqing saw Dou Changsheng arriving, he took the initiative to take two steps forward, personally led Dou Changsheng upward and said: "Your Highness, please take a seat."
Xu Changqing walked down on his own and was already standing among the ministers. Dou Changsheng looked at the golden chair in front of him. With strands of mana constantly surging, he rolled up the golden chair in an instant and threw it directly out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This thing is neither fish nor fowl, giving people the feeling of being a bastard, just like the word "side by side, king". Looking through the history books of past dynasties, there is no such thing as "side by side, king".
The word "side by side king" is simply uglier than those of those brave kings and grass-headed kings. It sounds frivolous and despised by educated people.
Dou Changsheng's actions attracted everyone's attention, and then they all looked at Xu Changqing. Recently, Xu Changqing has been acting domineering and unscrupulous in the court. Even those who don't like it do not dare to take the initiative to provoke, for fear of provoking Xu Changqing's retaliation.
Xu Changqing stood aside calmly as if he hadn't seen it. This disappointed everyone, especially many who were angry with Xu Changqing. They thought that Xu Changqing would have a conflict with Dou Changsheng. Now it seems that Xu Changqing means that there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is the king.
After a while, Gaozong had arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony and formally sat on the dragon chair.
Mianqi kept hitting, making a crisp sound. Gaozong looked through Mianqi to Dou Changsheng, who was standing in front of the ministers, and took the initiative to speak: "King Chen stopped the chaos of the demons, and he has done great service to the world."
"Choose King Chen as Grand Master, ranking him above the princes. He will be guarded by the emperor when he comes in and out."
Wang Shifan, who had been holding the wat tablet and keeping silent, couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't help but took two steps forward and stood in the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He first bowed to Gaozong with the wat tablet in hand, and then said in a deep voice: " King Chen has made great achievements, and no matter whether he is granted the title of Grand Master or adds more households, I have no objection to him."
"But the Emperor's ceremonial guard cannot be used by his ministers."
"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country. Even if King Chen has no ambitions, he will be ambitious because of this, so that in the end he will have ideas that he shouldn't have, which will lead to catastrophic disasters."
"I ask your Majesty to take back the order. This is inconsistent with etiquette."
Dou Changsheng took the initiative to refuse and said: "Uncle Zong is right, the emperor's guard of honor cannot be used by ministers."
"Once this example is set, everyone will follow suit in the future, causing endless disasters."
Gaozong took advantage of the situation and said: "I can only aggrieve the grand master."
"The grand master is in charge of the six gates, but he has never been in the cabinet because he went south to deal with things."
"Let's have a discussion today and sort things out after the grand master enters the cabinet."
"Can all ministers speak?"
After Gaozong finished speaking, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent. Xu Changqing took the initiative to walk out of the lecture: "Your Majesty."
"The old minister is old and frail, and his energy is not as good as before. He is willing to abdicate in favor of a worthy person. The grand master will serve as the first assistant and regent."
After Xu Changqing's words fell, like a signal, the court officials came out one after another, bowed in unison and said: "Please regent the Grand Master."
Wang Shilang watched this scene indifferently, watching the officials persecute Gaozong, and moved his eyes to look at Gaozong, but it was blocked by the drooping mianqi, so he couldn't see Gaozong's expression clearly, but Wang Shilang knew that Gaozong was absolutely unhappy in his heart. Feel good.
The Grand Master is not important, what is really important is the Regent.
Xu Changqing's regency was only because the Great Zhou Dynasty was leaderless. Now that the struggle for succession and restoration was over, Gaozong was already sitting on the throne, and he still wanted to be regent. So where would Gaozong be?
Either as a puppet or as a decoration.
Wang Shilang shook his sleeves and walked out slowly. Seeing Gaozong's delay in responding, Wang Shilang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that he should help Gaozong. After walking out, he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, is it too late to respond?"
"Why?"
Tolerance serves the country.
Dou Changsheng couldn't bear it, so he could only ask His Majesty Gaozong to bear it for a while.
For the sake of the world, it is good for yourself and Dazhou to suffer some losses.
Gaozong, who had always been calm, was now offended by Wang Shilang's words. His eyes became intense and he stared at each of the court officials with piercing eyes.
Gaozong's eyes couldn't help but become blurred, as if he had returned to more than a hundred years ago, when he was also in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
There were also officials who took the initiative to force themselves to openly kneel down and worship Zhang Tianzheng, calling themselves the Holy King.
More than a hundred years have passed, as if reincarnation has passed, and there are still people who dare to say such words to themselves today.
When a minister asks a king, "Why don't you agree?"
How frustrating, what humiliation.
I have endured this twice in my life. ,
A full two times.
A fire began to burn in Gaozong's heart.
When he attacked the Great Pill of Gods and Demons, not only did he not want to die, he also wanted to take revenge on Zhang Tianzheng. Even if he failed and died, he would not let Zhang Tianzheng live.
Its origin comes from that sentence of the Holy King.
Today, something similar happens again.
Emperor Gaozong looked at Dou Changsheng, as hypocritical as Zhang Tianzheng, and took the initiative to scold Shilang Wang.
This scene is so similar.
It's so insulting to the emperor.
Looking through the history books, among the emperors of the past dynasties, except for the last emperor, which emperor has been insulted like this?
Moreover, he was an emperor who helped Taizu found his country and was at the peak of his dynasty.
The joy of taking back the Xuanyuan Bow and taking back the imperial seal was immediately gone.
Dou Changsheng is still the same Dou Changsheng.
It hasn't changed at all.
There must be a conspiracy.
Asking the deposed prince to come back and then take charge of the magic weapon, this uneasy intention is to make the deposed prince become cannon fodder.
This idea coincides with his own. Among the Ji family, the one who can be trusted and benevolent is the deposed prince.
The deposed prince practices "Emperor Jingshi Lu", which can only be practiced by his direct lineage, and can use the national destiny at critical moments, whether it is the Xuanyuan Bow, the National Jade Seal, or the Gathering Immortal Flag, they can all be used.
At critical moments, the deposed prince can sacrifice himself and take away the fighting power of a god and demon.
There are too few talents of this kind among the Ji family.
Also very precious.
Cultivation and character are all top choices.
Much better than that guy from Prince Jin.
Gaozong vented his anger in his heart, and after self-hypnosis, he gently said: "The Grand Master is the regent. This is what should be done."
"The Grand Master and His Majesty Daxia have a sworn sworn relationship, and we treat each other as brothers. In the early years, I had the honor to meet His Majesty Daxia together with my elders, and we met as nephews."
"The Grand Master is my elder. When I see the Grand Master, I feel cordial."
"I."
Emperor Gaozong couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. The words he said next were indeed a bit fierce. Even with a mind that had been tempered for hundreds of years, there was something he couldn't say. After hesitating for a moment.
Gaozong showed a decisive look and had made up his mind.
Since ancient times, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. If you want to succeed, you cannot care about personal honor and disgrace. I don’t know how many heroes have suffered humiliation at the hands of villains before they rose to power, but their reputation will not be affected in the future.
In order to succeed, those who endure temporary anger and wait until they are successful are the ugly clowns who laugh at themselves today.
Gaozong kept comforting himself in his heart, began to hypnotize himself, and finally said earth-shattering words:
"I would like to worship the Grand Master as my father-in-law."
After Gaozong said something, he felt a lot more relaxed. He turned a blind eye to the surprise of everyone and continued to preach:
"Respect the Grand Master as the Imperial Father and the Regent."
One step at a time, leaving them with nowhere to go.
