Outlaws start by climbing to the top of the martial arts wanted list

Chapter 402: The Turbulent World

The man is affectionate, and the concubine is interested.

The two sides naturally hooked up with each other.

After the general discussions are over, there is no need to discuss further.

Because the two sides do not have a basis for mutual trust, and a conflict broke out between the two sides not long ago, they are able to come together now because each side gets what it needs.

That's why there's no need for details, because some small things can't shake the relationship between the two parties. If something big really happens, they will definitely not be together through life and death, they will each fly away when disaster strikes.

Dou Changsheng heaved a sigh of relief when the matter of the Blood God was settled.

Invite each other to go to the Huangji Palace to discuss matters.

Now that the immortal has left, the consequences are very bad. The people of the world are in turmoil, especially the Daqian court, which is waiting for him.

If the people's hearts cannot be appeased, the Daqian court will collapse.

People like Shangguan Taishi and Huang Taiquan are probably going to leave me. After all, with their strength at this level, everyone has their own demands.

The time has come for the ruler to choose his ministers, and for the ministers to choose their ruler.

When Dou Changsheng came to Huangji Palace, he didn't need to invite the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister, and other civil and military officials, because they had already gathered here. Before Dou Changsheng arrived, they stood in twos and threes, whispering constantly.

They kept talking, but they were not actually thinking. The real way they communicated was through voice transmission or other secret techniques. They were very cunning and would not leave any excuses.
Even though Daqian is on the verge of collapse now, they will not easily express their stance until the last moment because of their cunningness.

Now, seeing Dou Changsheng's arrival, the voices gradually disappeared, and the Huangji Palace was silent. All eyes began to look towards Dou Changsheng and the Blood Demon, and finally stopped on the Blood Demon.

After the battle of Cangzhou, when Dou Changsheng rushed back to the imperial capital, the news had already spread wildly. In addition, Dou Changsheng communicated with the Blood Demon for such a long time, which was enough for everyone in the Huangji Palace to know the whole story of Cangzhou.

Even if you don't know, when you arrive at the Huangji Palace, your good friends will tell you.

So they naturally understood the value of the Blood Demon, and their expressions relaxed a lot, as if they had taken a reassurance pill.

Among the evil gods outside the domain, the Blood God is also a strong one, especially after he was supported by the immortals and created a special incarnation, the Blood Demon. In addition, this time he was favored by the Heaven and became the Son of Heaven. He is definitely a stabilizing force.

Of course, some people were happy while others were unhappy, but they didn't dare to look at the blood demon and could only be angry in secret.

This group of people have different ideas, and they are also related to Shura Temple among the Seventeen Orthodox Sects.

Shura Temple is a major demonic sect, and its founder, Blood-Clothed King Buddha, is the one who personally suppressed the Blood God. This time when the Blood God escaped, the Shura Temple was of course hit the hardest.

It is impossible to take revenge on the Blood-Clothed King Buddha and take over Shura Temple. This is not something that can be easily accomplished.

Even the Blood-Clothed King Buddha would not care about the life or death of Shura Temple in order to ease the relationship. It would be a good thing if they could turn hostility into friendship. However, Shura Temple, as the party involved, would definitely not be happy. Of course, those who were involved with Shura Temple would be even more uncomfortable.

Dou Changsheng looked around and knew that his decision was very correct.

The Blood Demon said nothing, but his mere appearance boosted morale and stabilized the court, which was on the brink of collapse.

This is enough to show the importance of immortals. Having immortals and not having immortals are two completely different concepts.

Dou Changsheng sat upright on the seat placed in front of the dragon throne, looking directly at the ministers, and the Blood Demon also took a seat beside him.

Shangguan Taishi shook his sleeves and took the initiative to come out and report: "The emperor Long Yu has passed away, and the throne is vacant. Please make it clear to your Highness?"

"How to do?"

The tragic death of a king is enough to be a huge event.

But with the emperor's majesty plummeting and his deliberate disappearance from sight, it is no longer of much importance. But if that were the case, it would still be a big deal. However, compared with Emperor Taizu's extraordinary enlightenment and the sword immortal's overnight ascension to heaven, these are all minor details.

The divorce of two celebrities is undoubtedly a big deal, but when two countries go to war, no one will pay attention to celebrity affairs unless you mention them.

Dou Changsheng raised his eyebrows. The emperor's existence was a good thing for him, but he could bear many charges. In a word, all the good things were done by King Qian, and all the bad things were done by the emperor.

Now that he is dead, there is no one to take the blame.

But this is a small matter. The biggest thing is whether you want to take this last step.

Dou Changsheng fell silent and began to think attentively, weighing the pros and cons.

The Blood Demon at the side lazily said: "The Great Qian has become so rotten, why are you still an emperor?"

"If you become the emperor, you will be nailed to the imperial capital, and it will be extremely difficult for you to leave the imperial capital in the future."

"There are many things that I cannot take the initiative to do, and I can only hand them over to the people below me. This will lead to many missed opportunities. Even if I lead the army in person, there will be constant trouble."

"It's better to calm down for a while and not take this last step. This is also to give yourself a buffer. If the future is really hopeless, there is still hope of escaping."

"Besides, Daqian has lost the immortal of the time, and is no longer orthodox. It can no longer command the world, and can no longer support an emperor."

"He ascended the throne by force, but he is nothing like a monster and makes people laugh at him."

"Especially since you are the thirty-seventh son of Emperor Ziwei, being a king is much better than being an emperor."

The Blood Demon gave a long speech, and Dou Changsheng listened carefully because it made a lot of sense.

Of course, Dou Changsheng could also see that the Blood Demon had selfish motives. He wanted to use the reputation of being the 37th son of Emperor Ziwei to improve his relationship with the North Pole Palace. Only in this way could the two sides continue to communicate, and the Blood Demon could take advantage of the opportunity to get familiar with the North Pole Palace, until he could use himself as a springboard to successfully collude with Emperor Ziwei.

Although he could see the selfish intentions, Dou Changsheng did not care about it. Instead, he looked around to judge the expressions of the civil and military officials in the Huangji Palace. Even if they tried their best to hide it, Dou Changsheng could still see something of their yearning for the Beiji Palace.

To put it bluntly, even though the Blood God is extremely powerful and is blessed by heaven, making him a well-deserved Son of Heaven, he is still far inferior to Emperor Ziwei.

To have such an effect is naturally the result of the achievements of Emperor Ziwei over countless years.

He started the first war between immortals and demons, established the system of immortals, and suppressed countless evil gods from outside the domain. He was the number one person in the world, well-deserved and undisputed.

Even though he was suspected of being injured and his reputation had been damaged in recent years, those were things only those at the semi-immortal level knew. The civil and military officials in the Huangji Palace were completely unaware of this news.

I would rather have a bed in Qingpu than an apartment in Kunshan.

That’s what it means nowadays.

Dou Changsheng was silent for a while, then took the initiative to speak: "Emperor Taizu, an alien who has achieved enlightenment, has now become a war immortal, protecting Shenzhou."

"This is a great thing that everyone is celebrating, and the emperor has passed away to enjoy happiness, which is even more joyful." "This also indicates that the merits and virtues have been fulfilled. From now on, Daqian is the Daqian of the North Pole Palace."

"I am the King of Qian, and the 37th son of the Emperor. I should worship the Emperor as my Lord, build a ancestral temple, and offer incense."

"From today on, Daqian will no longer have an emperor."

"I will also report the name of the country to the North Pole Palace. If father intends to change it, I will call you all together to announce it."

After hearing these words, the Blood Demon nodded repeatedly and clapped his hands in praise, because Dou Changsheng not only listened to his advice, but also took action to build ancestral temples and burn incense and offer sacrifices. These were all empty words and were far less shocking than the last word "father".

Look at the civil and military officials in Huangji Palace. They are all unable to breathe because of these two words.

It was obvious that everyone was shocked.

It is a great thing that Dou Changsheng adapts so quickly. Only people like him can survive and become partners.

Dou Changsheng didn't think too much about it. Daqian Taizu suddenly left, forcing Dou Changsheng to cooperate with the Blood God and then move closer to the North Pole Palace.

Of the two immortals, Ziwei Emperor and Nagarjuna Buddha, Dou Changsheng prefers Nagarjuna Buddha. After all, Nagarjuna Buddha is not that powerful, and Buddhism is also an alternative and not the mainstream of the world.

It’s just that Emperor Ziwei is too powerful. With the help of Emperor Ziwei, it is easier to shock the world and calm people’s hearts.

I have already worshipped my adoptive father, so what's wrong with calling him father?

Dou Changsheng raised his hand to signal Shangguan Taishi to continue. Shangguan Taishi exhaled a breath of white air, slowed down a little, rubbed his temples and said: "The second thing is that all the royal family members were killed or injured. Their death is not a big deal. After all, no one will complain about their death."

These royal family members were not from this dynasty. After this matter was exposed, it had little impact on the people of the world, because all the major sects and families had married into their families. Unfortunately, they all died.

This would naturally result in the deaths of innocent people, and many disciples from aristocratic families and sects did not escape the knife. However, Taizu Daqian was still alive, so this matter was destined to be left unresolved.

Revenge on Red Butler?

That is impossible.

Manager Hong is the most powerful person in the world and has a semi-immortal weapon in his hand. It’s good enough that he doesn’t retaliate against them.

The real difficulty nowadays is that the royal family members are not alone, and each of them is extremely wealthy. After their death, they bring about a huge vacuum of power and wealth, which is bound to be taken advantage of by others and cannot be filled.

The benefits were so great that Shangguan Taishi had to mention it.

Shangguan Taishi didn't say it so bluntly because he didn't want to be so vulgar. Of course, there were too many people in Huangji Palace and it was not a private meeting where he could speak without restraint.

Dou Changsheng heard the hint from Shangguan Taishi and said directly: "The wealth of the royal family must naturally be taken back by the court."

"But all the shops and houses they left behind were sold, even at a lower price."

By doing so, they naturally do not intend to continue competing with local forces, because they simply cannot win.

The local tyrants are all powerful. In the past, the royal family relied on their greater authority and strength to oppress them and gain the greatest benefits. Now that the imperial court has lost the royal family, its strength has declined significantly, and it simply has no manpower to control them.

They can only withdraw and take the wealth with them. If the court does this, those local tyrants will not stop it, but will pay to take over the business.

"After we get this fortune, we will use it to recruit new troops."

Shangguan Taishi responded, and then told the bad news: "A plague broke out in the southern capital, and many people were killed and injured. Now the officials are helpless."

"I have already asked the court for help."

"However, there were secret messages from the local government, the garrison, and various other sources. Letters were sent in, saying that there were demons wreaking havoc in the Southern Capital and plague was spreading everywhere. It was because the local officials were not doing their job properly. They suspected that they were deliberately letting the officials go in order to deceive the court and cut off contact with the court."

Huang Taiquan also stepped forward and said, "They didn't dare to directly kill the officials and rebel, nor did they dare to directly establish themselves, so they created a plague."

"It means that the imperial court has no place to use its strength, the army cannot suppress the rebellion, and Your Highness cannot follow the old example of eradicating Overlord Valley and destroy the enemy with thunder and lightning."

"They did this with unabashed ambition."

"There are rumors in the northwest. Local officials are reporting that they saw colorful clouds emerging from the mountains, surrounded by rosy clouds and auspicious auras. A treasure has emerged. It is suspected to be the lost imperial seal."

Shangguan Taishi and Huang Taiquan kept talking and telling each other all the news in the world.

Dou Changsheng had a headache after hearing this, because none of this was good news. This situation was similar to the last time, since the chaos broke out in the world, within one day, the sun patrolled the sky, Overlord Valley killed officials in rebellion, and the Four Seas Sect launched a large-scale deification campaign.

As expected, there are always many ambitious people. Even though I have put down a lot of them recently, as long as bad news comes out, countless people will be ready to make a move.

And the situation this time is even worse than last time.

Because these people have begun to evolve, they are not in a hurry to rebel, but instead create incidents first and test the court step by step.

If the imperial court eradicated the plague, they would naturally applaud and praise the imperial court.

Very shameless.

Because they are not exposed, you have no way of finding out who did it.

This investigation would certainly not be completed in a day, and the court was short of both time and manpower in this area.

If one family tries, it would be courting death. But if ten or a hundred families try, it would be the imperial court that would be unable to withstand it.

The Blood Demon sneered and said, "Nandu is one of the five cities. Not only does it have an excellent geographical location, it also has great power. As long as we control Nandu, we can dominate the south."

"The battle for the five cities is the key to the future of the world."

"As long as Daqian protects the Five Capitals, the world will not be lost."

"The Five Cities require some kind of treasure core to be controlled, but this is not absolute. Otherwise, how could the Five Cities change hands?"

"As long as you control all the major buildings in a city, you will be able to compete with the core. If you also have a large army stationed there and control people's hearts, you will have the ability to replace the core."

"Of course, this kind of secret method must be extremely precious, and there are definitely not many people who know about it, but now is the time of great contention."

"Even if they don't know how to do it, there will definitely be someone who will teach them. If they can't learn it, there will also be someone who will teach them step by step."
