Dragon's Origin

Speaking of which, this question is actually an old topic. Back then, when the Emperor asked how to prevent vassals from using him to command other lords, he asked a similar question.

"It's still the same saying, you have to be strong yourself." Wang Sheng gave the Emperor a rather blunt reply: "If after one or two decades, you can't raise a group of experts capable of protecting the capital with so much money, then you deserve to be used by others to command the lords."

The Emperor knew he had asked a stupid question and covered his embarrassment by picking up his wine glass and taking a drink.

"Of course, you can also borrow a lot of power." Wang Sheng glared at him, then reminded him: "If used well, it's also a great force to protect yourself."

"Which ones?" The Emperor perked up and hurriedly asked, "Which forces?"

"When the time comes, those merchants definitely won't be happy to see their shops looted." Wang Sheng looked at the Emperor's anxious gaze and sighed, "These merchants definitely have a considerable number of guards, and your loyal ministers definitely have many housekeepers and guards. When the time comes, you understand."

The Emperor hummed in agreement, understanding which forces Wang Sheng was talking about.

"Of course, there are even stronger ones, it just depends on whether you know how to win them over." Wang Sheng then added a reminder.

"Stronger ones?" The Emperor's most urgent need now was to improve his strength. How could he not pay attention to even stronger forces?

At this point, Wang Sheng stopped talking, only giving the Emperor a sentence: "Think about it yourself, figure it out, and find your own way. If you can't figure it out, then don't bother."

The Emperor's mood plummeted. Judging from Wang Sheng's expression, he wouldn't say. He was supposed to figure it out himself, but could there be an even more powerful force in the capital? If so, wouldn't he be living in danger every day?

For a moment, the Emperor couldn't think of any powerful force worth winning over, and he was anxious. The Chief Zhou on the side really couldn't bear it any longer and coughed twice, then signaled to the Emperor with his eyes, telling him to look at Wang Sheng himself.

This powerful force was Wang Sheng? The Emperor was puzzled. Wang Sheng was powerful, but he was only one person, and to be honest, their current relationship wasn't about winning over, so it definitely wasn't Wang Sheng. Could it be the guards in Wang Sheng's Marquis estate?

Thinking of the guards in Wang Sheng's Marquis estate, the Emperor suddenly thought of Wang Sheng's current backing. The Laojun Temple in the suburbs of the capital, those guards must be from Laojun Temple. Besides there, there couldn't be so many powerful experts.

Laojun Temple, the Emperor immediately understood Chief Zhou's hint. That was indeed a powerful force that prevented all the vassal states from acting rashly. If the Emperor could win over Laojun Temple, even if he didn't need Laojun Temple to serve him, just having Laojun Temple slightly biased would make his capital as stable as Mount Tai!

How to win them over? Wang Sheng was from Laojun Temple, wasn't directly winning over Wang Sheng enough? The Emperor shook his head, obviously that wasn't realistic, but in such a short time, the Emperor really couldn't think of any way to win over Laojun Temple.

"Stop thinking nonsense." Wang Sheng certainly saw Chief Zhou's actions and understood what the Emperor was thinking, and immediately warned: "Don't casually plot against Laojun Temple, you can't afford the consequences."

"Not Laojun Temple?" The Emperor immediately understood that Wang Sheng wasn't talking about Laojun Temple, so Wang Sheng was talking about those powerful forces. The Emperor once again fell into deep thought.

Chief Zhou was also thinking, besides Laojun Temple, was there another powerful force in the capital?

Suddenly, the Emperor had a flash of inspiration, a thought flashed in his mind, and he thought of a possibility: "Linglong Pavilion!"

This time Wang Sheng didn't say anything, neither affirming nor denying, but from the moment he said it, the Emperor knew that he had guessed correctly this time.

Linglong Pavilion had strong financial resources, which was beyond doubt. In addition, Linglong Pavilion actually had strong martial power. Not daring to say anything else, that group of Grandmasters who stayed in Wang Sheng's Marquis estate every day, taking any one of them out, were now at least experts at the peak of the eighth level. With so many of them, if they weren't a powerful force, who else would dare to say they were powerful?

Wang Sheng didn't provide a method, and the Emperor didn't force him. Wang Sheng could be said to be friends with those Masters and Grandmasters, he certainly wouldn't provide a method for the Emperor to plot against his friends. Therefore, if the Emperor wanted to win them over, he couldn't let Wang Sheng feel unhappy, and this aspect required the Emperor and his think tanks to have a headache.

"I made a band, you also know." Wang Sheng suddenly changed the topic: "Now there is still a lack of a performance venue, a new one needs to be built, how about you sponsor one?"

Suddenly Wang Sheng asked the Emperor for money and benefits, which made the Emperor feel very unaccustomed. It was always Wang Sheng who came up with great benefits. The only time was when the Emperor took out 2.6 million gold coins to buy that imperial sword in order to cooperate with Wang Sheng. This time, he suddenly reached out, what was he going to do?

"You people, high above, have always regarded those musicians and singers as slaves, actors, when have you ever regarded them as human beings?" Wang Sheng didn't treat the Emperor as the Emperor, and despised him in front of him: "When you want to listen to music, you call them to play in front of you, and when you don't want to listen, you let them leave. Summon them when you want them, and dismiss them when you don't."

"I'm different, I regard them as artists." Wang Sheng continued: "Remember the cultural center I mentioned? I want to build a grand theater, a grand theater with the best lighting and sound effects, no longer when you want to listen, but when they want to perform, you have the opportunity to listen. Those lords and nobles are the same, if they want to listen to the best music, come to the capital, come to this grand theater."

The Emperor listened quietly, as if he had heard some hints from Wang Sheng's words just now. Slaves, actors, artists, so that's how it is.

"Here, where do you want to build your grand theater? The royal family will take care of this theater." After figuring this out, the Emperor directly decided: "It will be called 'Royal Grand Theater', I will personally write the inscription, how about it?"

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Okay! Great!" What else could Wang Sheng be unhappy about? The Emperor's willingness to show this attitude showed that he had begun to accept the economic and cultural center plan he had proposed before and planned to start practicing it. This was a good thing.

This grand theater was a gift from Wang Sheng to Master Yu and this group of musicians. I believe they would be very happy when they saw a royal grand theater dedicated to performance.

"Your university scholars, etc., should also be praised." Wang Sheng turned around and reminded: "Rituals and music, rituals have been promoted, it's time to promote music."
