Douluo: My Father, Titled Douluo

Chapter 88 Far away from the rivers and lakes, high in the temple (2-in-1, 4k)

Yong'an Lane, Tiandou City,

Early in the morning, there were vendors opening their businesses bustlingly.

They have not read many books and do not understand the principle of "the day's plan begins in the morning".

But for them,

This day has to be more prosperous starting from the morning.

A little more prosperous in the morning,

This is the day we have hope for, right?

A group of little dolls holding hands, with blue noses running down their cheeks, jumped together and sang nursery rhymes on the street.

"The red mist rises,

swan firefly,

The great river surges,

Green water floods,

pan into the city,

Longzi died,

rain down the mountain,

Yutang Ding."

At first, a few vendors shook their heads and hummed along,

After all, this nursery rhyme is simple,

Just a few words,

But after all, Doucheng is the best place under the emperor's feet, and the literacy rate of the people is still much higher than in other places.

Soon someone heard that something was wrong...

Why does this nursery rhyme sound like it's satirizing the prince who was in charge of the country?

A few elegantly dressed old scholars shook their heads while listening, and hurriedly left here with their tails between their legs, fearing that they would be punished for their words.

But there was a blind old man who was not afraid,

He wore black round-rimmed glasses, stroked his beard, and boasted with the vendors.

"The red mist rises, and the swans shine. These two sentences are saying that the evil mist that night almost killed Jin Shang's life."

pity,

That demonic mist only spread in the Tiandou Imperial Palace, and ordinary people didn't know about it at all. What they heard was that they were confused and confused.

"The river is surging, the blue water is flowing... Haha, I won't tell you this, but everyone should have guessed it."

There is a green character on the right, and a radical of three points of water on the left,

Isn’t it pure?

"Fan entered the city and Longzi died. I wonder if everyone still remembers that past event."

The blind old man wearing black glasses gave up and took a sip of tea.

"What past events?" someone asked.

"Second Prince, Third Prince's old stories!"

After saying that,

The expressions of all the vendors who had just been smiling and listening to the blind old man's boasting suddenly changed.

A vendor brother was so cold that he grabbed the child who was still singing next to him and slapped him on the butt twice!

"Papa -"

"Wow——"

The two slaps made the little kid cry with snot in his nose.

The vendor brother looked at everyone awkwardly,

explained:

"Haha, children are ignorant, they are just singing for fun, haha."

After all, merchants are ordinary people living in Tiandou City, and their ideological consciousness is not comparable to that of ordinary civilians.

After hearing this nursery rhyme and the reminder from the blind old man, I didn’t know that the water inside was very deep.

Just after the vendors below gradually dispersed,

Yuan Xunlu, who was in the restaurant, sneered.

road:

"Salas, this... couldn't be your handiwork, could it?"

Sitting in this small restaurant, in addition to Dragon Emperor Douluo, was also a platinum bishop from the Tiandou City Spirit Temple.

The shoulders of this platinum bishop are very narrow, and his slender body looks like a javelin.

"Every word that has no roots in the market is called a rumor. God acts as a warning and orders Yinghuo to turn into a child. He creates rumors and makes the children learn them, which are called nursery rhymes. A small one contains the good or bad luck of a person, and a big one is related to the country.

Ups and downs.”

Salas read ancient prose, picked up the warm jade wine glass he brought without haste, and drank a sip of old wine.

"Haha, you think I'm that kind of three-year-old child. God can really do this. Why haven't I seen it?"

Yuan Xunlu smiled,

Those gods in the God Realm, especially before Tang San broke the rule that gods could not interfere with the lower realm, at least they had not explicitly affected the lower realm.

And about the nursery rhyme thing...

People in the market are generally not allowed to discuss military and state affairs indiscriminately. Public opinion must be widely disseminated, and it is most appropriate to use children as a medium.

After all, children will not be punished for their words.

Since nursery rhymes are written from a child's perspective, no one will delve into its logic and details.

Therefore, the originator of the rumor can blur what he wants to express.

Make the information both true and false,

In this way, even if the rumors fail, it will not be considered a failure.

"So, this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." Yuan Xunlu said.

Salas tossed a few sweet prune preserves into his mouth,

road:

"Prince Xuexing still has a lot of energy in Tiandou City. There is no problem in at least spreading some rumors."

"Prince Xue Xing is not willing to give in, but your Pope may have acquiesced in the existence of public opinion that smeared Xue Qinghe!"

Yuan Xunlu took a sip of wine and drank it, then tasted some plum preserves.

He shook his head and sighed:

"This wine is old wine, but the fruits are sweet, so how can you drink it with it? Don't you mean to be disgusting?"

Salas listened silently as Yuan Xunlu pointed out and scolded Huai.

After a long time,

Then he said:

"The Wuhundian Daily published the incident involving the second and third princes in the newspaper today. This is indeed the Pope's instruction."

Yuan Xunlu took another sip of wine: "Bibi Dong saw that Xue Qinghe was about to take control of the Tiandou Empire.

Is she impatient?

According to her conception, Xue Qinghe should be lurking for another ten years.

Right?

And when Xue Qinghe had already won 99% of the throne, she revealed Xue Qinghe's past affairs, hoping to make Xue Qinghe panic."

Yuan Xunlu guessed that this may involve a sequence of time to become a god.

Bibi Dong sent Qian Renxue to the Tiandou Empire as an undercover agent.

In addition to keeping their mother and daughter out of sight and out of mind,

I guess Bibi Dong still wants to waste Qian Renxue's more than ten years of time.

Delay the time for Qian Renxue to become a titled Douluo, or even a god.

Of course, this kind of thing is just a joke. If you are not Bibi Dong, you will never guess what she wants to do?

Salas shook his head,

sighed:

"I have no choice. She is the pope and my immediate superior. What can I do if I don't listen to her?"

Salas looked at the ordinary people selling commercial goods below, and there was a sense of envy in his eyes:

"Look,

They only need to consider whether they can make money today and whether they will have food to eat tomorrow.

But what about us?

Nowadays, one faction of emperors worships the emperor, and then another faction of the pope. How dare you sit on the fence?

But if we don’t act two-faced, the people in our group will end up with a tragic end if we offend anyone!

I am not you,

You can stand by that person without hesitation, because you are already a family with her.

But what can I do?"

Salas's words were all about blaming Qianjia for why he didn't choose the right person for the pope back then, causing him to survive in the cracks now.

Yin and Yang... Bishop Salas Platinum also gets full marks.

"Then you go and be one of those humble people who don't have to think about anything. It's the most comfortable."

Yuan Xunlu said abruptly.

Salas pretended to cough twice in embarrassment: "Ahem, I can't bear to part with this glory and wealth!"

"..." Yuan Xunlu.

…

…

The rising sun rises in the east,

The civil and military officials in Tiandou City wore "dressed like beasts", and the nobles embroidered their family crests on their formal clothes.

They finally ushered in the first court meeting since Prince Xue Qinghe supervised the country.

"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

The little eunuch roared with his drake voice and Qi Luck Dantian.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty hesitated and hesitated.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of the Great Court Meeting was to allow the emperor to show his face and show his majesty in front of his ministers.

The really important things won't be discussed here. It's just a few princes and nobles coming up with plans, and the emperor making a decision.

I won't talk about trivial matters here. A few nobles who can solve the problem will come forward and the matter will be over.

but,

Everyone can always come up with something and report it one by one on this day.

Because this allows the emperor to feel it,

The ministers still asked him to make decisions, and the emperor's power was not shaken.

The situation like today, where the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were hesitating, is also very special.

Xue Qinghe, who was sitting under the emperor's dragon chair, naturally knew why this happened.

First, nursery rhymes were spread in Tiandou City, which was nothing more than an attempt to smear Xue Qinghe's ambitions.

Then "Wuhundian Daily" inexplicably mentioned the death cases of the second and third princes in the past.

It seemed that he didn't say anything, but inside and outside his words, he was saying that Xue Qinghe forced his father to kill his brother.

Xue Qinghe was in a good mood, raised his hands to the air on the dragon chair, and said:

"My father fell ill for no apparent reason and asked me to supervise the country.

I work hard at night, day and night, doing everything big or small without fear of damaging my father's reputation.

Now that I am exhausted mentally and physically, I hope my father will take back his position as overseer of the country."

Being mentally and physically haggard refers to being hurt by rumors. All civil and military officials understand this.

Xue Qinghe took the initiative, with sad eyes, looking like a good person who had been wronged by rumors.

The rich prime minister was about to speak along Xue Qinghe and pull him off his horse. Unexpectedly, someone actually spoke before him:

"The prince oversees the country, which is the right thing to do, so why should he care about the rumors about me?"

This is Mr. Zhang,

He is neither a princeling nor a member of the Snow Star Prince family.

But he is an old minister of Emperor Xue Ye, and his words carry more weight than the rich husband.

Compared with other important ministers and nobles who have their own thoughts,

Xianggong Zhang only recognized the fact that the emperor asked the prince to supervise the country.

Mr. Fu was speechless. Originally, the emperor's edict stated that the prince should supervise the country. No matter what he said, he could not understand.

"I second the proposal."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty finally stopped hesitating. They spoke in unison like puppets coming to life.

Xue Qinghe seemed so moved that he could not speak.

Then he set his sights on Prince Snow Star.

Regardless of the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, Xue Qinghe held Prince Xue Xing's hand, looking like a friendly uncle and nephew.

Snow clear river:

"His Royal Highness the Prince is His Majesty's brother and minister! I also hope that the Emperor's uncle can help me more."

"His Royal Highness, your words are serious. Naturally, I am thinking about the Tiandou Empire." Prince Xuexing said without leaving any trace.

Thinking about the Tiandou Empire...

Xue Qinghe sneered inwardly, but on the face of it, he had been close to Prince Xuexing for a long time.

Only then did he return to his throne as supervisor.

"I have my original intention and I want to report it."

A small official below who was as big as a sesame seed and a mung bean suddenly stood up and said.

"The Qing family will tell you."

"I heard this,

The Praetorian Guards actually blew up the camp on the night of His Majesty's assassination. This is simply unreasonable!

How could the Imperial Guard, as the first bodyguard to protect His Majesty and His Highness, be taken over by a group of idle officials' children?

I inform Your Highness to reorganize the Imperial Guard and select loyal, brave, honest, and good-natured sons to join the army!"

OMG, there are big melons today!

Many middle-level officials with keen noses have already smelled the wind. His Royal Highness wants to gain military power.

before,

Although the prince has a prince's palace army, it is basically an empty name.

Because the Tiandou emperors of all dynasties were afraid that the prince would rebel if he took control of the military,

So basically,

Before the prince ascended the throne, he did not have any military power of his own.

And the emperor,

He has legitimately mastered the Tiandou Royal Knights, which is the most powerful army in the Tiandou Empire.

A private army that belongs entirely to the emperor alone.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe usually looks at Wen Wen as weak, but he is so courageous.

Actually directly intervened in military power,

If Emperor Xueye is a little better today, there may be some tragedy in the royal family.

No emperor wants his prince to have military power, especially the palace guards.

"Your Highness, we should wait until His Majesty wakes up to discuss this matter." Mr. Fu stood up and dissuaded him.

Prince Snow Star's face was expressionless, and it didn't look like he had ordered it at all.

"Mr. Rich,

What is the strength of the Imperial Guard... That night, you saw it most clearly. Now you say that it cannot be reformed.

Then one day the assassin will come again to assassinate the king, can you afford this responsibility?"

Prince Xue Xing has his ally Mr. Fu, and Xue Qinghe naturally has his own ally.

An important minister came forward and severely criticized Mr. Fu.

This is like a clarion call to declare war,

Then the court became as noisy as Caishikou, with princelings and princes spitting at each other.

After they were done arguing, Xue Qinghe counted the time and decided to go on stage by himself.

"shut up!"

Xue Qinghe shouted angrily:

"You are all important ministers of the empire! How can you be so noisy as ordinary people in the city? How can you behave like this?!"

The ministers were quiet.

"There is no rush to reorganize the Imperial Guard, but let's first let the Imperial Guard choose a few good family members to be their leaders.

Father...

Nothing can happen again."

As soon as this is said,

Everyone has lost their temper.

After all, Xue Qinghe said this from the perspective of Emperor Xue Ye’s safety.

That is showing filial piety,

No matter how noisy you ministers are, you can't deny a son's desire to fulfill his filial piety to his father.

Besides,

Xue Qinghe is choosing a few good families to be its leaders, and it’s not that we, the official families, are not allowed to fill in people.

Business can still be done.

This is human nature since ancient times:

You want to open the window,

They won't do it,

You have to lift off the roof,

Only then did they allow you to open the window.

And Xue Qinghe already knew what the urine of these nobles and ministers was like.

Reorganizing the Praetorian Guard is a false card.

And he wants to put his own people in the leadership position,

This is the real card.

Prince Snow Star was obviously aware of this, but he had no choice.

Although Xue Qinghe has no explicit restrictions on his power,

But actually...

Prince Snow Star is still relying on the power of rumors when he is not under house arrest.

Because Xue Qinghe is afraid of being talked about.

Sudden,

Prince Snow Star felt a trace of sight,

He looked below the dragon chair,

There,

Xue Qinghe was looking at him with a smile.

The prince's first tentative attack has been successful.

"Tian Dou...the future is going to change."

Prince Xue Xing also smiled politely at Xue Qinghe.

Although an invisible rope was tied around his neck, the nobleman's years of cultivation of Qi still kept him calm.

"I also have soldiers...Xue Qinghe, don't force me to have a civil war with you."
