Dou Changsheng looked at Gao Shiming who was walking away. The case of the Spirit Clan mission was uncovered, which made Dou Changsheng lose money.
With the promotion of the title, another 20,000 households have been added. In addition to the original 10,000 households, there are already 30,000 households with fiefdoms. Taxes have increased significantly. This is a good thing. After all, Dou Changsheng has to support one more heavy-armored soldier.
Thousands of people.
Nowadays, the 3,000 heavy armored soldiers of Liang Dynasty have all become Dou Changsheng's personal soldiers, and the pressure of life is really too great.
It is a pity that the Xiao family's secret property did not fall into their hands, otherwise Dou Changsheng would not be under such great pressure. The heavy armored soldiers of Daliang are strong, but they are also very expensive.
He had to be a big player in this area. Dou Changsheng ignored the beaming old butler and returned to the front hall to sit down.
To be honest, Dou Changsheng did not want Chen Guogong and the Master of the Vermilion Bird Hall. Chen Guogong was involved in Chen Di's troubles, and the position of the Master of the Vermilion Bird Hall, the current high influence was too bad.
Chen Renmei took the position before her bones were cold.
How does this make the world see you?
What do the many colleagues in Six Doors think of themselves?
Dou Changsheng knew that it was difficult to lead the team. Many of the gods in the Suzaku Palace must have opinions about him. The order was issued so quickly this time. It must be the result of the prince's intervention. There was no need to think about it.
After Chen Renmei died, Dou Changsheng knew that the relationship with the prince could not be eased.
Why.
Dou Changsheng sighed.
He did not expect that Chen Renmei would commit suicide, and what happened next was unexpected. It was all a conspiracy of the Shang clan. After revealing all this, Dou Changsheng was embarrassed.
Rumors have begun to spread that Chen Renmei was killed by him. As the prince's right-hand man, how could the prince remain indifferent, especially since Prime Minister Du has resigned and will leave the capital in a few days.
A person like Du Beiyuan, even if he loses his status, is still a first-class martial artist and a supreme master.
However, Du Beiyuan's threat can be ignored. The other party will leave voluntarily. This has been the unspoken rule of the struggle for many years. The two parties have no personal grudges and will not fight to the death.
The prince has lost his right-hand man, and the princeling party's strength has been greatly damaged. Although it has not collapsed, it is still crumbling. If you want to stabilize the princeling party and reunite people's hearts, the best way is to attack yourself.
The prince's crazy revenge will come later.
This made Dou Changsheng upset and secretly vigilant.
This time it was an unforeseen disaster. It was truly unlucky.
The King of Jin took advantage, but he also benefited from it. The heavy armored soldiers of a thousand girders were not light. With the heavy armored soldiers of 3,000 girders, he could match the first-level martial arts. What a blessing.
Just practice.
The duty of the head of the Suzaku Palace is to manage the Divine Capital. Otherwise, Dou Changsheng would have left the Divine Capital long ago and did not try to resign and leave. This is something that will definitely not be agreed to.
The prince needs to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and re-establish his authority. The king of Jin needs to be the vanguard and start shouting and killing the princelings.
We can only try to decide what to do and take it one step at a time.
There is a lot of pressure in his heart. Dou Changsheng has always had a phobia of not having enough lives. In the past, he had to add the cultivation value to the three lives to make up for four lives. But now the cultivation value is not enough, and one of the three lives still dies, leaving him with only two lives.
.
If you die twice, you are really dead.
.......
East Palace.
The prince's confidants gathered together, including many important ministers wearing purple robes.
They gathered in the East Palace with only one purpose, to deal with the Jin royal party and at the same time enhance the strength of the princeling party. If one party is strong, the other party will naturally be weak.
The princelings lost their pillars one after another, and the Jin Prince Party took advantage of the situation to strengthen a lot. The Jin Prince Party, which was already suppressed by the princelings and was in danger, is now almost as powerful as the princelings.
Lu Fang, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, looked solemn and spoke in a deep voice: "Your Highness."
"The priority now is the cabinet."
"Since Xiao Tianyou fled, the post of General Hussar has been vacant. Now Mr. Du has also submitted a letter to take up the post. Of the nine prime ministers in the cabinet, two are already vacant. This can no longer be ignored."
"The vacancy must be filled, especially the position of General of Cavalry. The General is openly opposed to His Highness, and there must be a General of Cavalry to restrain the General."
Prince Sheren echoed the sermon: "Lord Lu is right. Even if the Hussars General is not one of ours, we cannot let the general and his family dominate and continue to be in charge of the Five Army Protectorate."
"If the new Hussars General leans towards the King of Jin, it will be a fatal threat to His Highness. The Protectorate of the Five Armies does not support His Highness. This means that the military is the enemy."
"The new hussar general must be someone with extremely high prestige who can contain the general. The four kings and eight princes have always been the dominant force in the army."
"Xiao Tianyou was able to become a second-grade martial arts grandmaster, thus forcing the general to be extremely embarrassed, because most of the generals in the army are from the lineage of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes."
"Now that Xiao Tianyou has fled, the Xiao family's power has collapsed, but the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are still a powerful force. After all, both Ning Guogong and Shu Guogong are still alive."
"Your Highness, if you invite Duke Ning or Duke Shu, it will be enough to contain the general."
"His Royal Highness has been close to Duke Ning recently. You can personally come to invite Duke Ning to come out."
The prince nodded and said: "I can give it a try, but the hope is not too great. After all, Duke Ning Guo's life is short."
Lu Fang smiled and said: "It is precisely because Ning Guo Gong's life is short that Ning Guo Gong comes out of the mountain. Because Ning Guo Gong's lineage will begin to decline after Ning Guo Gong dies. If there is no holy family, it will also be like this.
Just like the Cao family in the past, it has completely declined within a hundred years."
"After Ning Guogong comes out of the mountain, he will be able to continue wealth and honor for future generations."
"As long as Duke Ning Guo can be hired for the position of General of Hussars, there will be no problem. The key is the position of Minister of Rites."
Zhuge Wuwo, who had been silent all this time, now spoke: "The Ministry of Rites is His Highness's biggest supporter. The Minister of Rites does not need to be someone close to the prince. As long as he is fair and strict, he will naturally support the prince."
"I have a candidate who is a descendant of the great Shang Taishi of the previous dynasty, Wang Shifan of Youzhou."
The prince's eyes lit up and he already remembered who this person was.
Wang Hongyu, the Grand Master of the Great Shang Dynasty, was a famous official in the world. In his later years, regardless of his old age and frailty, he traveled all over the world for the Great Shang Dynasty. In the end, in order to arouse the courage of the late emperor, he hit a pillar and died.
The whole family was executed, and all three clans were implicated.
However, a young son was rescued by Xiaoyaozi who came after hearing the news and raised him personally.
Wang Shifan is the eldest grandson of the Grand Master of Shang Dynasty and the disciple of Xiaoyaozi. He is an extraordinary person and has attracted much attention from the world. However, Wang Shifan is not proud of this. Instead, he studies humbly, especially after his parents died one after another.
After observing filial piety for six years, he was praised all over the world.
This is a model of filial piety, and he is very suitable for serving as the Minister of Rites.
His strength is the supreme master of martial arts. His grandfather is a famous minister in the world and is highly praised by all the previous emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His ancestor is even more extraordinary. Xiaoyaozi attained the Tao of Gods and Demons in the early years of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When such a person enters the court, he will definitely support the prince.
The prince showed joy and said happily: "If Wang Shifan can enter the court, not even the King of Jin can stop him."
"The biggest difficulty now is whether Wang Shifan will join the court?"
The prince looked at Zhuge Wuwo with great expectation, hoping that this man would give him a surprise.
You must know that today's Great Zhou Dynasty has experienced the Qianyuan Blood Burning Pill and the future Jiazi Rebellion. After a lot of troubles, its appeal is no longer high, and it is regarded by many people as a broken ship.
Do you like people like Wang Shifan?
Zhuge Wuwo felt the prince's expectation, stretched out his hand and stroked his long beard and said: "In the heyday of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would be impossible for Wang Shifan to enter the court."
"But just because the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, the Jiazi Rebellion was bound to break out, so Wang Shifan had great hopes of joining the court."
"Like Lu Tianen, Wang Shifan also has ambitions and a desire to make contributions. The current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is turbulent, and it is the time for him to show off his talents."
Grandfather Wang Shifan has used facts to illustrate that the consequences of going against the general trend will end in a miserable life and being bullied by villains.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to be defeated, the other party will definitely not come.
