Chapter 2550 Trouble arises
Some are happy and some are sad.

Some people were promoted and some were demoted in the Weiyang Palace.

From time to time, someone was called into the hall, and occasionally someone with a pale face was not qualified to attend court and had to come out.

There were also people outside the hall who were unable to enter.

Dou Ying stood outside the hall and waited for a long time.

As the prime minister appointed by the new emperor as soon as he came to court, Dou Ying's cultivation had reached the state of self-centeredness. He had led troops on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and also served as a commander in the rear. He was not short of civil servants.

In the Han Dynasty, Dou Ying was undoubtedly a top talent.

His conflict with the Empress Dowager led to his removal from the position of Prime Minister.

After waiting outside the main hall for a long time without being summoned, Dou Ying's expression kept changing and all kinds of bad feelings kept emerging in his heart.

Of course he knew the reason.

The Dou family only needs a real person in charge in the court to safeguard the interests of the entire family.

Whether it was the Empress Dowager, Empress Dou or Dou Ying, any one of them in a high position could maintain the status of the Dou family.

The conflict between Dou Ying and the Empress Dowager was nothing, and it had no major impact on the Dou family. It was even okay to remove him from his position as prime minister. All these conflicts could pave the way for future team-up.

But Dou Ying did not expect that even though the road was paved and his team had stood up, the expected promotion after the replacement did not come.

Empress Dowager Dou of Anle Palace did not have a stable position, while the Empress Dowager of Changxin Palace emerged as a rising star, entered the realm of true self, and began to take over the power of the court.

"How could she possibly enter the realm of her true self?"

"The late emperor has been one step away from the realm of true self for many years. Wang Zhixun is one step ahead of the late emperor. Her limit should be the realm of self-centeredness!"

"Could she have some background?"

"Or does she have some special training method?"

Dou Ying's face was gloomy and uncertain.

Knowing that he had no chance, he didn't keep waiting here.

"Master Hou?"

Guan Fu, who was also waiting outside the hall, looked around and then quickly followed.

"My lord, why don't you wait a little longer? Maybe you can be summoned into the palace. The position of the Grand Marshal has not been decided yet," said Guan Fu.

"That position is not reserved for me," Dou Ying shook his head.

"Even if there is no Grand Marshal, there are still several other positions of the Nine Ministers, such as Langzhongling, Taipuling, and Zongzheng, which have not been decided yet," Guan Fu said anxiously.

"That's not for me!"

Dou Ying shook his head, indicating that he had been abandoned.

The only person he could count on at the moment was the Queen. As the daughter of Empress Dowager Dou, as long as the Queen could remain stable, the Dou family would still have a chance to take over the palace in the future.

"I'll go back home first!"

Dou Ying waved to Guan Fu. He took a big step forward, covering a distance of several meters. He used his body skills in a rare way to speed up his journey, and looked somewhat hurried.

"Even Marquis Wei Qi is not given a high position. I'm afraid this court is doomed!"

Guan Fu turned his head to look at the main hall of Weiyang Palace, spat again, and left the palace without waiting.

"There must be something wrong with the Queen Mother. There must be something wrong with her..."

Dou Ying returned to his mansion very quickly.

He returned to his study in the mansion and carefully took out a roll of gold-thread cloth with a fire seal from the secret compartment in the study.

This scroll of cloth was sealed with a fire seal and could not be restored once opened, so Dou Ying never opened it to look at it.

He stroked the fire seal on the gold silk cloth, then looked at the fire seal and the nomination written by Emperor Jing himself.

After thinking it over again and again, Dou Ying carefully pulled it open. "Wang Zhi...she's here!"

The golden cloth did not record any peerless cultivation techniques, but rather a secret decree left by Emperor Jing.

Various names were written on the secret decree, including those who could be trusted, those who needed to be guarded against, and those who needed to be observed.

Many people not only planned the classification, but also involved the records written by Emperor Jing himself, and even the directions investigated by Emperor Jing.

"I suspect the Emperor's daughter!"

The Empress Dowager was one of those who needed to be observed, and Emperor Jing's comment consisted of only three words.

The emperor is naturally not the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but a large country or a power with a superior status that can mark Emperor Jing as an emperor.

The Empress Dowager has no exotic features in her appearance, and the rest of her provenance is minimal.

"The Emperor's daughter... Could it be that the Empress Dowager is from the Immortal Court? Why did the late Emperor marry her?"

If the prime minister's position is stable and he can withstand the pressure from Anle Palace, Dou Ying will be able to assist the emperor in governing the country according to the secret decree.

But everything went wrong a little bit. The young emperor found it difficult to win the support of the people, and Dou Ying's position was overthrown before it could be consolidated.

"What on earth does she have that is worthy of the late emperor's risk and willingness to treat her as the empress?"

Dou Ying didn't know the Empress Dowager's background, but Emperor Jing undoubtedly knew his partner best.

If he could support the Han Dynasty in times of crisis like Zhou Yafu did, this secret decree would be Dou Ying's capital, enabling him to check and balance many people.

Looking back, Dou Ying felt that he had lacked persistence and failed to make use of Li Guang and others, nor did he join forces with Confucianists to control the Empress Dowager, and he did not have the courage to burn his boats.

As Emperor Jingdi had expected, he ascended to the highest position of power in the court, but Dou Ying did not seize the opportunity.

"She now controls the Han Dynasty. Doesn't this mean that the court has become hers? What does she want to do? What kind of abyss does she want to bring the Han Dynasty into? People like me, the Dou family, have been loyal to the emperor for generations. I am afraid she will regard me as a thorn in her side!"

Dou Ying held the secret decree, his face full of doubt.

He felt that the Han Dynasty had entered a very dangerous moment.

The peaceful transition in the court could not cover up the corruption hidden in the dark, and unknowingly, the Han Dynasty had changed.

If the Empress Dowager were to obey the orders of others, it would mean that the Han Dynasty would become a puppet of a certain force.

Feelings of regret and hatred kept lingering in Dou Ying's mind.

Countless people regarded him as the successor to General Zhou, but he missed the best opportunity.

His petty thoughts and carelessness destroyed the power he should have held, as well as the close internal ties between the new emperor, the empress, and the Dou family, and brought about risks that he would have to face with a high probability.

"You have your plan, and I have mine. Fortunately, I learned the Yang Soul Incarnation Technique several years ago!"

Dou Ying's expression changed back and forth, but he did not panic after checking the secret decree.

He sat on the ground, clasped his hands together and muttered something. Then a blurry naked figure walked out of his body and continued to solidify into a solid entity.

It is difficult to enter the realm of true self through cultivation, so Dou Ying also seeks other ways to enhance his abilities.

This technique of Yang Soul Incarnation was acquired by him during a social event.

This is an ability similar to the ability to manifest as an incarnation, and Dou Ying once had high hopes for it.

But no matter how he practiced, no matter how he concentrated his magic power, the strength of this external incarnation was far inferior to his original body, and it was difficult for it to fit in at the level he was fighting.

Dou Ying had almost given up on this magic, but during the period of mourning for the Empress Dowager, someone used the same magic to cause trouble.

It was during this turmoil that Dou Ying realized the true usefulness of this Taoist technique.

It can fly, hide, and release weak magic. If it is not used to replace the main body in a fight, this magic is enough to be used to play a marginal ball.

Those venerables in the Yedihe Holy Land of Xiong Country are not fools. It is impossible for them to run to the Han Dynasty and die foolishly. This means that even if the Yangpo incarnation is killed by someone, it is highly likely that it will not affect the original body.

With this ability, Dou Ying felt that he could definitely uncover the true identity of the Empress Dowager and sort out all the connections.
