1. Apprenticeship in Xuanwu Town
Since the past, heroes have been Qu Xin,
Crisis changes are also circumvented.
The Yin Ping is criticized by the enemy,
Such a country is worthy of others.

Dou Shen, who walked out of Yanying Palace, was certainly not thinking in person to Taiyuan Prefecture to direct the extermination of the Dangxiang, because he knew that this move was equivalent to a complete showdown.
The reason why I wanted to go to Taiyuan was not to do it was to use this to control the army.
Xuanwu Army, Zhenwu Army, Fengcheng Army, and Tiande Army must all be deployed around their shogunate. Dou Shen wanted them to understand, "You are firmly tied up with me. If I, Dou Shen, have any overturn, you will not be out of the matter."
In the capital, Pei Yanling, who was the judge of the Duzhi Department, was his confidant. Although Guo Wang Li Zezhi was named the Du Yuhou of the Shogunate, he stayed in the imperial city to supervise the every move of the court. At the same time, his party member Xue Jue was Jingzhao Yin, his clan son Dou Shen was Jingzhao Young Yin, and Zhang Pang controlled the Yangtze River patrol in Jianghuai. The military power and financial power were all in his hands. What he had to do was to force Gao Yue to death step by step.
Then I will be alone in the country.
As for the emperor, his actions were completely within the scope of the system, and this person was helpless.
In fact, since Li Shi ascended the throne, he was never completely self-centered. The quickest time was when Lu Qi was prime minister. After Lu Qi was deposed, he was more or less controlled by the prime ministers, whether it was money or personnel.
It is precisely because Dou Shen did not take the emperor in his heart. He thought he would not repeat Yang Yan's mistakes. It was nothing more. Because Yang Yan did not have Fang Zhen's force to rely on, he was like a fish in a pot and a swallow in a curtain, causing a disaster to kill him.
But what Dou Shen, who walked out of Yanying Palace, still didn't know was that his eyes were full of viciousness and hatred, staring at his back.
It's no one else, it's Emperor Li Shi.
Now Li Shi understands in his heart why his father, Emperor Daizong, once said the angry words of "The third rank of the court are all thieves", and also understands why Emperor Daizong wanted to kill Yuan Zai.
It has nothing to do with the dispute between the crown prince, but because Yuan Zai's domineeringness has threatened the imperial power.
Li Shi felt regretful. When he arranged for someone to go to the Yangtze River patrol, why did he do a balance technique? This led to Dou Shen making trouble for Xu Can to force the palace to be forced to do something.
"Only an incompetent and mediocre emperor can achieve some balance!" Thinking of this, Li Shi's teeth were clattering, and his intention to kill was already aroused.
"Dou Zhonglang." When Dou Shen walked back to his political affairs hall, Sima Chengzhen, the palace master of the Sanqing Palace, turned out from the corner of the street, called him, and then looked at him, his eyebrows and eyes were full of concern, and he was very serious, "Can Zhonglang be a ghost at home?"
Dou Shen suddenly turned pale, but he denied it.
A few days ago, after he went to worship the "Fifth Brother", the fifth brother told him in his dream that your good day was coming, and then he rushed to him a cow. The cow was snow-white all over and had two tails, which was extremely magical, especially his ears were even more beautiful. The fifth brother gave Dou Shen a knife, and Dou Shen cut off the cow's ear.
"In the time, you will soon become a ox-heeled person." After that, the fifth brother disappeared in his dream.
Dou Shen didn't tell anyone about this dream.
But seeing that Dou Shen had unintentionally admitted it, Sima Chengzhen shook his head and warned, "Zhonglang, have you never heard of Ming Chongyan, the chief counselor of Emperor Gaozong? This man is well versed in art and used the little ghosts for his own use. He can go to Yinshan to get snow, and go to Lingnan to get melons. It will be done in a moment. However, Chongyan ended up sitting in the hall late at night, and was stabbed in the center of the body. The knife was buried in the handle. He couldn't find a thief. In fact, the one who killed him was not a thief. In fact, the group of little ghosts who were servile, could not bear the suffering, so he killed them. Even this is the little ghost, let alone the cunning ghosts."
Anyway, after saying that, Sima Chengzhen bowed his fingers and left.
But Dou Shen, who returned to the mansion, had already left Sima Chengzhen's advice behind him. He was full of plans: "The Political Affairs Hall, Hanlin Academy, Censorate, and even the Shenwei Army in the capital have been controlled by me, but there is also an imperial capital patrol supervisor who was formerly the Jinwu Army, which is not in my hands."
As a result, Dou Shen, who was very happy, came over and gave him an idea and said, "Gao Yue, Wei Gao and other local officials, who have never offered sacrifices to the emperor? At the same time, they also have to share money to the powerful eunuch."
"Is there a handle for the Censorate?"
"Of course!" Dou Rong could not help but roll up his sleeves and said that the twelve censors had been expelled by Gao Yue, and now they are all back under my arrangement. They all want to eat meat and sleep with Gao Yue's wife's dog.
At this time, Dou Shen stroked her beard and nodded.
Three days later, the emperor issued a statutory text, dismissed Ban Hong's power to judge Duzhi, and changed it to Pei Yanling to succeed him, Ban Hong was appointed Weiweiqing, and was also granted the title of Duke Xiao, but was actually expelled from the center of the government.
In addition, a list of the formation of Dou Shen Special Imperial Guardian was issued, and the original five army of the Imperial Camp was dismissed, and the governor of the Xuanwu Army, Liu Xuanzuo, led 20,000 elite troops to Beijing to listen to it, and prepared to go to Taiyuan from March next year to continue to fight against Dangxiang.
The court and the entire capital were thunderous, and they knew that Dou Shen was in power and looked at each other sideways.
For a time, Dou Shen's house was full of traffic, and Jinzouyuan in various towns in Kanto secretly curled up. Everyone said that Dou Shen's shogunate was the "small court".
However, Dou Shen's offensive did not end. He instructed the Censorate to take action and impeach the Shenwei Army's supervisory activities, Wang Xiqian and Yin Zhizhen, the Privy Councilor of the Imperial Capital Inspection Commission, to accept bribes from the towns in the southwest and northwest, and demanded that the emperor punish him.
The emperor had no choice but to let the Censorate and the Provincial Escorts and the Provincial Escorts. As a result, the Censors were arrogant and pointed to the Wensi Court, the Xuanhui North and South Court and other Zhongguan officials who came to the trial were scolded and warned them not to have any protection. Wang Xiqian and Yin Zhizhen did accept a large amount of bribes. When the Chang'an Di News disclosed the facts, the entire capital's bureaucrats and scholars were out of wrath, and the calls for the removal of Zhongguan's management activities as an imperial guard were like a craze. In addition, the "Prefecture" and Wufang children who abolished Zhongguan were the most harmful to Chang'an city because of these things (for example, Bai Juyi's charcoal seller responded to this matter).
Also, many people are asking, who was the governor who bribed Wang Xiqian and Yin Zhizhen? Why not punish them together?
The public always feels happy to see the gods suffering. Although they know in their hearts that the Zhongguan is the slave of the emperor, and the punishment will be punished. However, the Jiedushi Fangzhen has soldiers in his hands, and they have never been involved in others' misfortune, but they are always at large. But even so, it is comfortable to live up to the mouth.
In response to this, Dou Shen mysteriously said: He has mastered the complete situation and has arranged it, but now he cannot say it. When you should know, you will naturally let it know.
The first one to be unlucky was Li Jian, the commander of the Eyue Observation Defense Corps. The six-foot silver bottle he gave to Wang Xiqian was exposed. However, Li Jian was in Fang Yue after all, and the one who was unlucky was the judge of Eyue, Liu Zhen and Yang Ping, the branch envoy, who were both exiled to Lingnan as county lieutenants.
It is worth mentioning that Liuzhen, who was born in Hedong, and Yang Ping, who was born in Hongnong, were still in the family relationships, among which Liuzhen’s son was Liu Zongyuan.
Who will be the next one?
