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

Chapter 288 Pressure from the Court
early morning.

On the wide streets of the imperial capital, the number of pedestrians gradually began to increase.

Various noisy sounds started to sound continuously, and it became lively again.

There is a lot of traffic and a lot of pedestrians.

This day and night had not been a good one, so after sending Xiao Hua away, Dou Changsheng went shopping directly.

If something happened to Chen Wangdao, Dou Changsheng certainly couldn't hide it. Wouldn't this give people a clue?

Stepping out and being noticed by everyone builds an alibi.

Thinking of this, Dou Changsheng was suddenly startled.

A sad look emerged immediately.

What kind of world is this?

The Star-Zhaing Tower is like a sky pillar, surrounded by white clouds and strange beasts flying around.

He slowly withdrew his gaze, Da Gan was still kind. If it were him, he would definitely take back the Star-Zhaing Tower.

The imperial concubine sat upright, with her hands on her abdomen, dignified and elegant, as if aware of the emperor's gaze, she slightly raised her head to look up at the emperor, she couldn't help but gently raise her hands, and wisps of light continued to rise.

The hanging crown of the crown returned to stillness, and the emperor said calmly: "The officials are arguing endlessly, what do you think?"

The imperial concubine had already attended the court with the emperor to listen to government affairs, and sat at the head of the emperor.

Dou Changsheng looked toward the middle street. No matter how you looked at it, the Star-Zhaing Tower was very spectacular.

Only two civil and military officials could sit in the court hall, the emperor and the concubine. Even the prince, the prince, had to stand below.

Any of these ancient buildings are not only old enough and magnificent, but also represent the control of the imperial capital, which can interfere with the imperial capital's leylines and formations.

Huge institutions such as the Garrison Department and the Six Gates all occupy important ancient buildings and control crucial nodes in the imperial capital.

The Concubine Tian calmly said: "Xu Guogong is an important minister of the imperial court and the founding father of the country. His ancestors assisted Emperor Taizu to pacify the world and made great military exploits. Today, Xu Guogong was assassinated."

Many of them have been sealed and are directly controlled by the imperial court, but many are also controlled by major families and sects.

"This must be to seal off the imperial capital, lock down the whole city, catch the murderer, and give an explanation to the world."

The emperor was wearing a dragon robe and a crown. The crown was drooping. As the emperor gently raised his hand, there was a collision, making a weak collision sound.

Although the imperial palace hangs high in the sky and seems to have nothing to do with the imperial capital, in fact the two sides are closely connected and integrated.

Of course, no place can compare with the palace.

In an instant, the positions of the imperial concubine and the emperor were separated from the civil and military officials in the court, forming a different world.

The Star-Zhaing Tower stands tall and majestic from beginning to end.

However, it is not a public property now, so one can imagine the involvement behind it.

The quarrel had not stopped since the morning session.

In addition, various ancient buildings have different effects, which is also the foundation of a force.

There were countless topics surrounding Xu Guogong, and Xu Guogong never thought that he would risk his own life and cause a court dispute.

"That's not controversial."

Really a great place.

This is a taboo. I don’t know how many mansions, because of the Star Building, deliberately set up a maze to block the prying eyes of the Star Building.

This is not a slur.

He actually allowed himself, a good person, to start thinking like a criminal.

The imperial courts of all dynasties would not allow such a building to appear because it was too tall to overlook the imperial capital.

Dou Changsheng felt sad and his interest in shopping was greatly reduced. However, he had no intention of going back and instead walked around casually.

Watching the light rise and gradually begin to dissipate, Concubine Tian then spoke: "Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"

When Dou Changsheng moved, countless people naturally moved.

Among them, the prince's people have already begun to spread the news.

Hundreds of officials in the court are hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Even if they use secret techniques to talk, there is still a possibility of being heard, so they directly set up a formation. This is a lesson learned. Even if it is too ostentatious, it is better than talking about private matters and being heard. The third party hears it as a joke.

Other ancient buildings can be given up. This Star Building is so conspicuous that it can be said to stand out from the crowd.

The scale of the Star Building was certainly not built by this generation.

This imperial capital is an ancient capital with many world-famous ancient buildings.

This Star-Zhaing Tower is also an ancient building. There have been countless disputes over the ages. Like other ancient buildings, it has had countless owners.

Moreover, I still have this idea unconsciously, and it is not subjective, which proves that I am no longer pure.

The emperor looked calmly at the courtiers below, and finally looked to the side, the Queen of Heaven, who had been silent since the morning.

However, Dou Changsheng was enjoying himself and appeared very relaxed, but now in the court, he was tense and full of anger.

The demon concubine wields power.

Yesterday, Xu Guogong died. This important event was naturally the core of the debate in the court.

The emperor pointedly said: "There is no doubt about catching the murderer."

"But someone just said that the real murderer is not Yu Zimin, the man with a thousand faces, but someone else."

"Yu Zimin is just a murderer at most, but there is actually a real murderer behind the scenes who is controlling this matter."

The Concubine Tian smiled lightly and said, "I understand what Your Majesty means."

"Then continue the investigation."

"The real can not be fake, the fake can not be real."

"Who does Your Majesty want to be responsible for the investigation?"

"Zhao Tingzhi of the Six Gates? Or Wu Yihou of the Guard Division."

"Or is it the Ministry of Punishment?"

“Their words alone still carry less weight.”

"Now all the officials are shaken and the world is frightened. There must be an important minister to supervise the situation."

"Please invite the prince of the clan? Or the two prime ministers?"

The Concubine Tian doesn't care. As the saying goes, one can be strong without desire. What does Dou Changsheng's troubles have to do with her?
This is not his biological son.

The imperial concubine had no intention of protecting Dou Changsheng.

It's okay to help someone out of the way, but it's just the icing on the cake, and it's absolutely impossible to provide help in times of need.

Others didn't know it, but the emperor naturally knew it. Seeing Tian Fei's attitude, he didn't answer Tian Fei, but moved his eyes away. The severed formation automatically collapsed. The emperor was very satisfied with Tian Fei's attitude. Dou Changsheng had gained the support of Buddhism and had turned from a sheep into a wolf. Letting such a person come back was simply to attract the wolf into the house.

The emperor's previous actions can be regarded as mistakes.

The Concubine Tian's power is not small, and if she joins forces with Dou Changsheng again, this will make the emperor uneasy.

Especially recently, Tianfei has made great progress and has a tendency to go further, which gave the emperor a sense of urgency.

The imperial concubine is already catching up with him, and even has a tendency to catch up from behind. How could the emperor not be in a hurry?

However, the emperor would not believe Tianfei so easily. This may be because the other party deliberately confused him. The emperor looked at the officials who were still arguing below, and the brow behind Mianqi frowned subconsciously.

Xiao Wangzhi is really a disaster.

The Concubine Tian is in a stable position, and the power she controls has not yet been moved.

But many people in the court began to speak for Dou Changsheng, and these people were naturally the ones that Xiao Wangzhi had won over.

Although there are not many of them, and there are also few people in high positions, few does not mean that there are none.

In addition, they believed that Tianfei's power was on their side, so they had high fighting spirit and explosive fighting power. One against three, they even had the upper hand.

This is not only the people that the Lanling Xiao family can influence, but also the Huazhou Wu family, and other large and small aristocratic families.

It seems that many people have begun to burn the cold stove of Dou Changsheng. For these families, eggs cannot be put in one basket. Someone always has to take refuge with Dou Changsheng. In this way, even if Dou Changsheng gains power, their family It won't end, there are always people who support the family, and at most it will just be the one who has the advantage to change from the big house to the second house.

As the eldest son, he has great inherent advantages.

In addition, Tianfei has been allowed to do so by himself for so many years, and she has gained considerable influence in the court.

Both he and Concubine Tian knew the details of Dou Changsheng, but these people didn't.

The emperor regretted that he should not have been greedy in the first place.

Now that it is difficult to get off the tiger, even if he spreads the news that Dou Changsheng is not his bloodline, he will be regarded as slander by these people. The emperor knows nothing.

Cognition is simply following the butt. Wherever the butt sits, there is truth.

Shangguan Taishi stood in front, holding a wat tablet, his eyelids drooped and his eyes closed tightly, as if he was asleep. He allowed the officials to argue and said nothing from the beginning to the end. Even when the emperor and the concubine communicated, they did not let him any changes to it.

Huang Taiquan on the side looked at the left prime minister from time to time, watching the other party's unexpressed thoughts. Finally, he took a step forward with a wat board in hand and stood directly in the central area. As Huang Taiquan walked out, the voices of other officials' arguments gradually began to decrease. Finally disappeared completely.

The hall returned to calm, and there was total silence.

Huang Taiquan is the right-hand prime minister. He doesn't need to do much to control the situation naturally.

Everyone looked at Huang Taiquan, waiting for the big boss to speak.

Huang Taiquan said calmly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty."

"The death of Duke Xu is now being discussed by both the government and the public."

"Catching the murderer is the top priority, but Duke Xu's funeral is also a top priority."

"Now Duke Xu's legitimate son has died, leaving only three sons and no heir. His Majesty still needs to decide to whom the title will be passed."

Huang Taiquan and Xini were so capable that they directly opened a new battlefield without anyone being able to say a word.

After all, the starting point of everything comes from Xu Guogong. Should we abandon Xu Guogong and discuss other things?
If you do this, you will naturally be attacked by hundreds of officials, despised by everyone, and scolded for your conscience.

The emperor looked at Huang Taiquan. The right prime minister was very close to Tian Fei. Now with this statement, he planned to turn a big deal into a trivial one.

How can this title be determined easily?

After the title was thrown out.

The sons of Xu Guogong were afraid that they no longer had the time to care about how their father died, and all their energy was focused on the title. They began to run around the imperial capital, constantly visiting old friends, and wooing officials. If they bothered, they could confuse the public.

If a few other things happen, the death of Duke Xu will fade away.

Although it was still a big event, its impact was not as great as it is now.

It seems that Xiao Wangzhi has also realized that killing Xu Guogong and knocking the mountain to shake the tiger is not a good thing, but a bad thing, and he is trying to end this matter as soon as possible.

So after chatting with the Prime Minister, this scene came about.

But how could it be so easy to get rid of King Xiao's scheme?

Huang Taiquan finished speaking, and Marquis Wu Yi walked out slowly. He was tall and burly, full of powerful pressure. The wrinkles on his face were like ravines. The upper end of the bridge of his nose was raised, shaped like a hump or nodule. The tip of his nose was slightly downward hooked, which was like an eagle. Hook nose.

His eyes are sharp and he is like an eagle.

A rich voice sounded: "We have just received news that the Department of Guards is investigating the death case of Xu Guogong, and has obtained the help of the former crown prince and grand master, and has discovered important clues."

"As long as there are a few more days, we can definitely dig out the real culprit."

Qingliu is afraid of losing his reputation, but there are some people who are not afraid, and that is the Guardian Division.

They don't need to care about their reputation, as long as they are loyal to the emperor. A good reputation is a bad thing.

Huang Taiquan raised his eyes and looked at Wu Yihou, who was one of the ten princes of the Guarding Division. Compared to Shenguang Hou Xiao Aotian, who had not come because of his illness, this one was more high-profile, which was completely different from the low-profile of the Guarding Division in the past.

This information has been obtained for a long time, but it is only brought out at this moment. This is deliberately aimed at himself.

Huang Taiquan's expression was calm, but he hated Wu Yihou. He had not been in office for a long time as the Right Prime Minister. He had not made any achievements and showed no majesty. He was severely suppressed by the Left Prime Minister. Now if he does this again, the officials will definitely despise him even more. Own.

Even Huang Taiquan couldn't tell clearly for a moment, who does this Wu Yihou belong to?
Because of such a commotion, he would definitely be unable to be separated from the Concubine. How could a disgraced right minister assist the emperor in handling political affairs? He had to have someone to support him to avoid phase instability.

Therefore, not only was it impossible to leave Tian Fei, but he also had to get closer to Tian Fei and completely join Tian Fei's command.

But the possibility of the prince is greater. After all, very few people know about the former prince and master.

The water in this court is too deep to mix.

Lao Liu Zongheng.

The matter of the title came to nothing, because there were already clues, and the most important thing was to find out the real culprit who killed Duke Xu. An important minister immediately came out: "Your Majesty."

"Xu Guogong was an important minister of the country. Now he has been assassinated. Not only has he become a laughing stock in the world, but the court has also lost face."

"There must be a thorough investigation. Now that the former Crown Prince and Grand Master has clues, why not ask him to come to the court and entrust him with an important task to thoroughly find out the real culprit behind the murder of Xu Guogong."

"Xiong Shilong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, requested to supervise the case."

"I second the proposal!"

Immediately after Xiong Shilong finished speaking, many courtiers came out to echo. The prince had already begun to exert his strength, and the momentum was naturally quite large. The voices of agreement resounded through the hall like an overwhelming force.

After seeing this situation, the emperor calmly said: "Yes!"

"The case will be handled by Xiong Shilong, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, as the chief officer."

"Find out the case of Xu Guogong."

"My dragon body is tired, so I'll stay here today."

"Retreat."
