Chapter 344: The Lord of the Qinglong Palace, Yan Jingtian
Time flies by like water.
It’s May of another year.
Since the death of the saint in Shendu, the fierce battle for the inheritance that should have erupted, rarely continued, and the Shendu, which was turbulent like a powder keg, calmed down instead.
The death of the saint allowed the three forces of Taizong, Gaozong and the King of Jin to join forces. They reduced the frequency of internal fighting, began to join forces with the outside world, and began to stabilize the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This time's alliance was due to the external situation. Due to the death of the saint, the situation began to deteriorate. The three parties were not brainless people. They joined forces to suppress the unrest caused by the death of the saint.
But people with lofty ideals know that this convergence is only temporary, and they will inevitably split and then fight to the death.
And the Great Zhou Dynasty came to the 12th year of Yongtai, which should have ended the Yongtai year, and even showed signs of entering the 13th year of Yongtai.
When the gods had a Supreme, struggles were everywhere and the fights were very fierce. Without the Supreme, they became peaceful. The strange thing is that the Supreme position has been vacant for several months.
The warm breeze in May blew gently on my face, like soft jade hands caressing my face.
Dou Changsheng stepped on the green weeds with his black boots and walked slowly to the bright red carpet paved on the ground. Gong E led Dou Changsheng to the back of the table. Dou Changsheng flicked his sleeves and knelt down on the table.
Behind the eucalyptus.
Gently raising his arms and rolling up his wide sleeves, Dou Changsheng picked up the apple placed on the table and began to eat it. Looking around, he could see that the main seat was vacant, and behind the tables placed in other places, invitations
All the guests have arrived.
Every one of them is familiar, they are all important ministers of the court, at least one of the ministers in the political hall, or the governor of the Five Army Protectorate.
The Zhengshitang and the Protector of the Five Armies, these are two behemoths. One is civil and the other military. They cover such a wide range that they can be described as hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In this extraordinary world, literati naturally do not only have pens. Among them, heirs of poems and books from aristocratic families,
This book of poetry not only contains knowledge, but also martial arts.
Various scriptures handed down from ancient times have evolved countless unique skills, each of which is enough to be passed down from generation to generation.
The army is very brave and fights fiercely, and strong men emerge in endlessly. For example, Cao Longji came from a humble background. If he had never joined the army, he would have wandered in the countryside all his life. However, after joining the army and gaining inheritance, he jumped up like a fish leaping over a dragon's gate. He has become what he is today.
good fortune.
The Five Army Governor's Palace is divided into the Central Army Governor's Palace, the Left Army's Governor's Palace, the Right Army's Governor's Palace, the Front Army's Governor's Palace, and the Rear Army's Governor's Palace. The chief officers are the Left and Right Governors, and the further ones are the Hussars General and the General.
.
Three cabinet ministers from the Government Hall and two generals from the Protectorate of the Five Armies are all members of the cabinet.
During the Taizong period in the past, the Five Army Protectorate was very powerful. After the generals and hussar generals, there were also chariot generals. However, it has been abolished since Gaozong, and no cabinet prime minister has a military background.
Dou Changsheng carefully calculated with his eyes, who was the most important governor of the Five Army Protectorate?
When it comes to military power, the generals and hussar generals are not as good as the various governors in the Five Army Protectorate, because the generals and hussar generals seem to have unlimited power and have the authority to control the three armies, but in fact they do not
Directly in charge of the army.
The real army is in the hands of the governors of each Protectorate. They are the current ones in charge. The general and the hussar general are separated by one layer. For the generals below, some are too high.
Therefore, whether the generals and hussar generals are powerful or not depends on whether there are people below to support you.
It's very complicated here. The army is self-contained. The hussar generals and generals who came from nowhere can't sit still even if they are airborne. It's not like Wang Shifan can directly serve as the Minister of Rites. There is no such precedent in the army.
Dou Changsheng took a look and saw that there were the former Army Protectorate and the Zuo Army Protectorate, but he didn't quite believe that they would support King Jin.
Since Xiao Tianyou ran away in the Fifth Army Protectorate, the post of Cavalry General has been vacant. The general is already the only one in his family. How can a general who has been frustrated for half his life not cut off the thorns? These few are in front of him.
Guys, it looks like they were sent here by General Yang Kaitai.
Dou Changsheng ate fruit leisurely and turned a blind eye to the important ministers who came. During these leisurely months, the King of Jin and Emperor Gaozong kept hosting banquets. Dou Changsheng did not refuse anyone who came, although he was inclined to Gaozong in his heart.
Zong, how could Dou Changsheng take the initiative to get involved in the chaos?
You should eat and drink when you should, and you won’t accept the things you give.
The banquet was considered a favor to a third-level martial arts master, and they had to repay it with their lives, but this was not a problem for Dou Changsheng. Dou Changsheng had already risen in the world, and this was just a small favor. If it spread to the world, it would not be known to the world.
Dou Changsheng couldn't come at all.
It's just that this banquet may not be a good one.
Dou Changsheng looked at his colleague, Yan Jingtian, the master of Qinglong Palace.
Liumen has been in a state of flux these past few months, and was once on the verge of being disbanded. It was almost disbanded, waiting for other departments to become the Sixth Division and be merged into it.
But the critical moment was when Yan Jingtian, the agent of the Six Gates, kept running around to keep the Six Gates, and even interceded for the White Tiger Palace and the Xuanwu Palace. He spent a huge price to save the White Tiger Palace and the Xuanwu Palace.
.
As a result, even though the six gates were saved and their strength was not much compromised, those Wang Changgong's confidants and those who were deeply involved with Wang Changgong each took the initiative to break away from Wang Changgong and signed a letter of surrender, and all of them were taken under Yan Jingtian's command.
Heroes are a rare part, and they are all only one in ten thousand, but among the billions of creatures in the world, even one in ten thousand is not a minority. For example, among the 108 people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there may not be even one in a continent, even if it is only one in ten thousand.
There are tens of millions of people in Xiazhou, which is ten million to one.
This society is like a pyramid. If you are at the bottom of the world, it will be difficult to meet a hero in your life. But when you are at the top of the pyramid, you will find out who was not a hero in the past.
For example, this Yan Jingtian is an outstanding person among outstanding people. He single-handedly supported the Six Doors and survived the most dangerous period of turmoil. Now that the Six Doors have stabilized, as long as he makes further contributions, he can avenge his past shame.
, then he will definitely enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister and become one of the nine most powerful people in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When the sea is flowing, heroes will show their true colors.
Yan Jingtian stood out and held up the six doors, but among everyone present, there was no weakling, such as Zhou Fangben, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. After the death of the saint, he helped the king of Jin and exposed the true face of Lu Fang, the evil evildoer.
Destroyed the opponent's conspiracy to kill both the prince and the king of Jin in one fell swoop.
Let the world know that Lu Fang's sinister intentions and Lu Fang's reputation are just disguises, and let Dou Changsheng know what Lu Fang's violation is?
This Lu Fang actually took the initiative to set up a trap, not only to kill two birds with one stone, but also to clear his own reputation. To this end, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the King of Wuxiang Ye Wumian.
Yan Jingtian, Zhou Fangben, and Cai Juejin from the former Army Protectorate were also the people who attracted Dou Changsheng's attention.
Cai Juejin is one of the two most popular hussar generals. After Xiao Tianyou, he is the other one who has many supporters. He has won the support of many generals who are not generals.
He had suppressed Feng Tianhu, who had the support of the four princes and eight princes and other generals. You must know that Feng Tianhu was the seventh son of Ning Guogong among the four princes and eight princes, and Ning Guogong was still alive today.
To be honest, after the collapse of the princeling party, many people in Jinwang's party also took a stand. It can be said that they are full of talents.
By the way, there is also an acquaintance among them, that is Dongfang Tai'a from Shenhou Mansion.
Although the Jin Wang Party gathered here is only the core part, it covers a very wide range. There are people in all key parts of the Zhou Dynasty, either the second or the third in command.
It can be seen here that there are many people who support the King of Jin. After all, Taizong's reputation is too bad. The impact of patricide and brother murder is huge. Otherwise, just because of Taizong's reputation, he followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world, and he also conquered the world and ruled the world.
His martial arts prowess is unparalleled in all dynasties, and his reputation has been successfully restored long ago.
In the final analysis, King Jin and the others were still able to fight because Taizong's reputation was so bad.
After Dou Changsheng gnawed three apples, King Jin arrived belatedly.
King Jin's hair was combed meticulously, he wore a high crown, his brocade clothes were embroidered with dragon patterns, his eyebrows and beard were trimmed, and his disguise was flawless. In order to appear in full dress this time, he secretly did not know how to prepare.
How much time has passed.
King Jin knelt down and a group of palace maidens came slowly over carrying tea trays.
The palace maid wears a long white palace dress with a jade belt around her waist. When she walks, her skirt floats like a fairy descending to earth. The mist in the tea tray is filled with strands, and they are connected with each other, like a billowing fairy spirit. Together with the rockery lake in the distance, it is like a paradise in the cave.
, beautiful scenery of Asgard.
King Jin smiled and said, "Everyone knows that dragon liver and phoenix marrow are delicacies."
"I just specially invite you to come and taste it."
“The first Golden Flower Phoenix Soup.”
"It's made from phoenix marrow. Don't waste it."
With her white jade hands, Gong E solemnly placed a bowl of soup on Dou Changsheng's table. Dou Changsheng smelled the aroma and looked down at the white jade bowl with a colorful phoenix painted on it. The clear soup was clear and a golden flower floated in the bowl.
The fist-sized bowl of Golden Flower Phoenix Soup is so tempting, and there is a small plate of meat on the side. The meat is cut as thin as cicada wings, and is filled with wisps of white smoke, which is constantly billowing.
It rises like a long smoke dragon.
Dou Changsheng didn't listen carefully to what King Jin said above. He just looked at the meat soup in front of him and was about to move, but he didn't dare to lift the kuaizi.
This thing is a delicacy in the world, dragon liver and phoenix marrow. Although there is no dragon liver now, this is dragon meat and phoenix marrow soup.
This dragon meat is not the kind of dragon that Dou Changsheng killed. No matter how famous the Ten Princes of the Black Dragon are, even the Lord of the Dragon Court is a dragon, a pseudo-dragon. Only when he becomes a god or demon can he be a real dragon.
Only then was it worthy for the King of Jin to entertain important ministers with such fanfare.
The things of gods and demons are all good things, but their value is extremely high. They are easy to eat and easy to use.
This is not like eating and drinking normally. After eating this thing, if King Jin says something, it is really difficult to refuse.
I sighed quietly in my heart.
This dragon meat business has been going on since ancient times. Where are there so many dead real dragons? Dou Changsheng suspected that Lai Pilong was cutting the meat and selling the blood.
