Chapter 354 Returned with a great victory and intimidated the clan
Destroyed the Overlord Valley in one battle and returned with a great victory.
This caused a sensation in the imperial capital, and hundreds of officials knelt down to welcome him.
Suddenly, the uneasy atmosphere in the imperial capital was swept away, and it was as lively as the New Year.
When I went there, I acted vigorously and resolutely, not daring to delay anything, for fear of the news leaking and any accidents happening. But there is no need to be anxious after returning. The successive greetings and celebrations would have been impossible if I hadn’t taken the initiative to look after the situation. Let him go, how could there be such thorough preparations here in the Imperial Capital.
Nantianmen did not come directly to the gate of the imperial capital, but deliberately kept a distance.
Yashiro looked at Luo Jing floating in the sky, then nodded slightly at Dou Changsheng, and finally disappeared.
Returning with a great victory, shocking all officials, and winning people's hearts, this is not important at all to Yashiro, so Yashiro does not plan to participate. This is because he does not want to bother with trivial matters, and he does not want to rob Dou Changsheng's limelight.
The two of them are the biggest contributors to this battle. As long as Ba Dai disappears, all the light will naturally converge on Dou Changsheng.
When a group of people arrived in front of the imperial capital, they could see from a distance that the gate of the imperial capital was open, and there were hundreds of civil and military officials standing there, as well as countless people.
When Dou Changsheng approached, he knelt down and shouted long live.
Kneel three times and kowtow nine times. When Dou Changsheng walked to the front, he just finished the salute.
However, they did not get up and were still kneeling because they did not get Dou Changsheng's order to get up.
Looking at the crowd of people kneeling in darkness, there are at least tens of thousands of people gathered here, or even more. Now no one dares to raise his head and look directly at himself.
This is a sense of accomplishment, and at the same time, there is a sense of joy in my heart.
This is power.
Countless heroes throughout the ages have fallen on this.
Like poison, it can corrode steel and iron bones.
Dou Changsheng suppressed this emotion in his heart. Power is wonderful, but strength is more important.
Dou Changsheng said: "Get up."
After receiving Dou Changsheng's approval, Shangguan Taishi stood up slowly. This was like a chain reaction. Others also started to stand up. Shangguan Taishi took the initiative to take a step forward, walked to Dou Changsheng's side, and congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Highness, for the battle." Destroy the Overlord Valley and kill the rebels."
"Such a great victory is unprecedented. The power of the imperial court has greatly increased. His Highness has accomplished such a remarkable feat, which is rare in ancient times and modern times."
Dou Changsheng raised his hand slightly, interrupting Shangguan Taishi's subsequent flattery. If there were no immortals in this world, then Dou Changsheng must be very proud and happy at this moment.
There are immortals, and this battle is purely a battle of immortal weapons. With more strikes and less, without any skills, even a fool can win as long as he has so many immortal weapons.
So Dou Changsheng was calm and his mentality was stable, and he did not become distracted because of this.
Shangguan Taishi swallowed the rest of the words into his belly, then reorganized his words before continuing to speak; "His Royal Highness destroyed the Overlord Valley, shocking the world, and terrifying China."
" The news spread, and everyone in the imperial capital was smiling. The past uneasiness was swept away, and the precarious situation of the imperial court also disappeared. The hearts of countless officials had stabilized, while some ambitious people were like a basin of cold water poured down on their fiery hearts. When it gets colder, they will put away their claws and continue to wait and see, waiting for the next opportunity. "
"The situation is now stable, which buys a lot of time and can do a lot of things."< br>
Dou Changsheng glanced at Shangguan Taishi. The left prime minister was a little too impatient. Such matters can be discussed back home instead of directly outside, because this is a public place and all officials are here. These people have very good ears, I believe they are all listening to their exchanges.
Dou Changsheng knew that Shangguan Taishi had a purpose, so he did not stop him. Instead, he allowed Shangguan Taishi to do what he wanted. After some preparations, Shangguan Taishi continued to speak: "Your Majesty retreated to the harem and abandoned the world without caring about it. But He has been hiding the Emperor's Sword for a long time. It is shameful for His Majesty to be so ignorant during a time of great strife and when the court is short of power."
"I ask for an order from His Highness. I will enter the palace and ask Your Majesty to return the Emperor's Sword."
The Emperor's Sword is the most precious treasure of Daqian.
It is also one of the foundations of the unified dynasties of past dynasties.
The five capitals in the world, the jade seal passed down to the country, and the sword of the emperor, these are all immortal weapons.
There are many immortal weapons in the imperial court. Among them, the imperial seal is slightly special. It is the core of the control of the imperial capital and one of the five seals. It seems that the effect overlaps with that of the imperial capital, but in fact the two are. The suit has suit attributes, and its power has been increased several times, far exceeding the two ordinary immortal weapons.
The two can also be used separately, and there is no need to combine them.
It is precisely because of its specialness and power that it has always been controlled by Emperor Taizu.
Throughout the ages, the immortals who have sat in the imperial capital have held the Jade Seal of the Kingdom in their hands, refusing to let it go. To put it bluntly, they would never leave a treasure like the Jade Seal of the Kingdom the day they got it. Oneself.
I don’t know which dynasty cast the Emperor’s Sword. It is an imperial immortal weapon.
The power can be enhanced with the help of national luck, and the user must control the power, so even a child, as long as he is noble enough, can use the Emperor Sword without any limit on strength.
Emperor Taizu would not keep this treasure secretly, because the emperor is the supreme, and he also needs an immortal weapon to show his majesty and declare his force.
The emperor is supreme because of the Emperor's Sword.
The above-mentioned various fairy weapons are the standard equipment of a unified dynasty. They can be said to be godsends that everyone has.
This is not the limit of a unified dynasty. After all, whether you can obtain other immortal weapons through private efforts depends on your personal efforts.
Some dynasties are strong and some are weak. This means that development is different.
Many thoughts came to Dou Changsheng's mind, and he also understood Shangguan Taishi's thoughts.
Shangguan Taishi did this on purpose. Now that he had destroyed the Overlord Valley and returned with a great victory, all the officials knelt down to welcome him. It was when he was at his strongest, and he used the great victory to intimidate the clan and ask them to hand over the Emperor's Sword.
Not the emperor, but the clan.
It’s because the Emperor’s Sword is definitely no longer in the hands of the emperor.
The emperor is such a waste, the Emperor's Sword must have been taken by someone in the clan's mansion who doesn't know who the late emperor was.
Dou Changsheng took advantage of the situation and said: "The Prime Minister Zuo has worked hard and achieved great results. Why bother the Prime Minister with such a small matter? Da Zongzheng, you can go and do it yourself."
Dou Changsheng directly pushed the matter to Da Zongzheng and asked them to go back and do it themselves Discuss whether to give it or not.
Now all officials know that if they don’t give it, they don’t care about Da Qian.
Even many officials don't care, but they can only think about it and do it, but they cannot say it out.
If you don't give the emperor a sword, you will get the resentment of all officials and offend the world. Without this great victory, they would naturally have countless means to deal with it. They are not incompetent in fighting a public opinion war, and there are many officials who can use it. At that time, it will be a war of words and mutual accusations.
But with this big victory, they have no choice.
This is the importance of military merit.
Only an emperor with military merit can monopolize power and kill whoever he wants.
Dou Changsheng didn’t look at Da Zongzheng much at all, and kept walking forward slowly, because he knew that Da Zongzheng did not dare not agree. Now in full view of everyone, this was not for his own selfish gain, but for Da Qian. , for the imperial court.
Da Zongzheng hesitated for three or five breaths, watched Dou Changsheng take several steps, and quickly caught up with him and said: "I will go to the palace immediately to persuade your Majesty to hand over the Emperor's Sword."
Da Zongzheng said. After finishing, he immediately left in a hurry. The place he went to was naturally not the palace, but back to the Zongren Mansion. This was a big matter that Da Zongzheng could not handle.
Dou Changsheng glanced at Da Zongzheng's back and returned with a great victory. It was time to seize power.
Looking at Shangguan Taishi again, this person did a good job, but if he takes the Emperor's Sword, now he will have a proliferation of immortal weapons in his hands.
However, Dou Changsheng knew that the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi could not be kept. Emperor Ziwei would definitely not give this fairy weapon to him. After all, although he was one of the thirty-seven sons, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was its inheritance.
After all, Emperor Ziwei has too many sons, and the gold content has declined, making it worthless at all.
If Emperor Ziwei only has one son, look at it, then this three-jewel Ruyi will be the one to choose from me.
The Three Jewels and Jade are like this, and the Vajra and the Demonic Pestle are also like this. It is simply unbelievable.
The one who can really rely on is Luo Jing, but this thing is too obvious and cannot be carried around at all. Every time he moves, it is too ostentatious. Only by cooperating with Nantianmen can Luo Jing truly move at will. , so the immortal weapon that he can really rely on is really the Emperor's Sword.
As long as it is not an immortal weapon, Dou Changsheng is not so afraid.
There is no need to think about the imperial seal. It will definitely not be given now, and it may not even be given in the end.
Emperor Taizu will not let go of his possession of the jade seal until he escapes calamity, and the same is true for the imperial capital.
Now Emperor Taizu, the current immortal, has abandoned his martial arts and keeps slashing at himself one after another, weakening his own strength.
Emperor Taizu was not afraid of being too weak?
A direct assassination?
Dou Changsheng believed that he must be afraid.
Having been rising for so many years, Dou Changsheng does not think that his relationship with the immortals will be harmonious and harmonious. Although there is no life and death struggle, there must be a momentary fight, naturally. There will be people who can't stand Emperor Taizu.
So Emperor Taizu needed to pass on the imperial seal and the imperial capital to ensure his combat power.
Emperor Taizu will definitely not want the remaining four capitals. He has been controlling them. How can we escape the disaster?
The only thing that is uncertain is the Emperor's Sword. Will Emperor Taizu let it go?
Well, this time is just a test.
If Emperor Taizu vetoed it for other reasons and finally received other compensation, it would be enough to judge that Emperor Taizu was not determined to smash the chessboard and jump out of the chess game at all costs.
After Dou Changsheng appeased all the officials, he began to sit in the Huangji Palace and wait.
This matter has been delayed for a long time, almost two hours, but after all it involves immortal weapons, Dou Changsheng still has some patience. As long as there is a result today, he can endure it.
As time passed bit by bit, the sky outside gradually became dark, and the rich night covered the earth. A bright moon was in the sky, and the hazy moonlight fell like rain.
Dou Changsheng followed the gate of Huangji Hall and looked at the stars in the night sky.
I don’t know how much time passed, but footsteps kept coming out, and Da Zong was walking in in a hurry.
Da Zongzheng’s clothes were messy and he was clearly walking in a hurry. There was also sweat on his forehead, which was flowing down his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. When he came to Dou Changsheng, Da Zongzheng knelt down directly, his head He directly touched the cold ground and stared at the ground, not daring to make any rash moves.
Dou Changsheng frowned when he saw this scene. Da Zongzheng's performance had already explained everything.
The Emperor Sword will not be given.
Dou Changsheng didn't say a word, and endless pressure began to sweep over Da Zongzheng.
A dignified deity in the realm of heaven and man, now just like an ordinary person, sweating profusely, and his clothes are soaked. In the end, Dazong Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness."
"The Emperor's Sword has been It was delivered to the Zongren Mansion by His Majesty. When I went to the Zongren Mansion, I learned that the Emperor's Sword had been taken out of the imperial capital to suppress the riots in the south. Therefore, I returned without success this time, and I am ashamed of Your Highness."
"I have committed a crime of death, so please punish me."
After Da Zongzheng said these words, he felt a lot more relaxed, because after just experiencing some inner struggle, as long as he doesn't want to live, then There is no pressure at all.
Da Zongzheng exhaled a breath and continued to speak: "The Emperor's Sword cannot be delivered to His Highness for a while."
"But this time I still have something to gain. One of the Five Capitals of Shen'an, Suppression Western land, the core of its control, the bronze dagger, I have brought "
"It's just that this place is inside the palace, and I can't bring it in. Please forgive me."
Da Zongzheng's words are reasonable, but in fact they are just negotiating terms. If the negotiation breaks down, the bronze dagger will naturally not be handed over.
Dou Changsheng's frowned brows have relaxed, and he is not too disappointed. After all, this has been expected.
This time, instead of giving the Emperor Sword, he gave Xidu Shen'an.
Strictly speaking, Xidu Shen'an still has to force the Emperor Sword. After all, the situation is unstable now and the power of the Emperor Sword has declined.
But the disadvantages of Xidu Shen'an are also obvious. This Xidu Shen'an is not a hanging city. It cannot move freely like Luo Jing. There are some difficulties in using it.
The former emperors alone would definitely not be able to refuse themselves. This may not necessarily be the order of the Immortal himself, but it must be supported by the Immortal.
It is a good thing for the other party to be so hesitant.
After all, Dou Changsheng was also afraid that the other party would do whatever it took, because that meant that the other party had no weaknesses and could not be threatened.
Now it is possible.
It is difficult for him now, but Dou Changsheng is very happy, because soon he will be able to ask for help from the other party.
The sacred aura of the Immortal was directly shattered.
Nowadays, the world immortal has lost too little, and the cost of paying is not high. When the southern and northern capitals are gone, it will be time to turn over and become the master.
As a world immortal, you don’t want to fail, right?
