Chapter 162 Du Tang's past
The past cannot be traced!
It's hard to look back on the past!
It's a very long story!
A very twisty story!
In that year, the change of Xuanwumen in the Tang Empire, Prince Zhaoming, who was also the hidden prince in the official history, died in Xuanwumen, was shot by Taizong's henchman Arrow God, and was beheaded all over the house, only one of the infant sons in law was escorted by his confidants and generals and escaped from Chang'an.
For this reason, Taizong sent the masters of Tiance Mansion to pursue, and after more than ten years of pursuit, even if the remnants of Prince Yin's party were killed, in the end, the child was never caught.
That kid was Du Tang.
Du's Du, Datang's Tang!
At the beginning, Du Tang has been living in exile, the worst time, can only live in the deserted suburbs of the broken temple, eat and sleep, the most dangerous one, was caught up by the masters of Tiance Mansion, in the pursuit, a hidden prince's family will put his son in swaddling clothes, wrapped in yellow silk, causing those masters of Tiance Mansion to have a misunderstanding, mistakenly hit the auxiliary car.
In this way, Du Tang escaped and survived.
A little sensible, Du Tang was instilled a lot.
Revenge!
Take back everything that belongs to you!
It was the only thing that ran through his life and the only reason for his existence!
All the time, in addition to sleeping, he is studying.
Whether it is in a small valley that escapes the world, or lives in the countryside disguised as a commoner, or hides in the market, or may travel in the north and south of the world, he is learning, taught by many teachers, and has experienced practice.
Wen Tao Wu strategy, the world and human feelings, everything has to be learned.
It can be said that it is miserable!
However, he held back!
Will is something that can actually be cultivated.
When you are in an environment, in this environment, laziness is the greatest sin, once the obsession with the sound of dogs and horses forgets revenge is the biggest betrayal, as long as a little desertion, you feel sorry for the world, sorry for everyone...... If you have always maintained such a mentality, then the greatest problem of human beings is inertia.
This is how Du Tang's will was cultivated.
In his mind, nothing but study and revenge mattered.
Twenty years ago it was learning and hibernation, and twenty years later it is about putting revenge into action.
However, it's too hard!
Although Prince Zhaoming has an old ministry and many family lords who support him, he was killed by an arrow in Xuanwu Gate, and after Taizong came to the dynasty, except for a small number of loyal old ministers, the rest of the people are not credible.
The most abundant in the world is wall grass.
It's easier said than done to take back everything you have!
Although Du Tang is a genius, he doesn't think that he can surpass the majestic second uncle.
Taizong is a well-deserved first person in the world, power first, strength first, a word can determine the world is, picturesque rivers and mountains, all in the palm of his hand, when he led the army to defeat the Turks in the north, the Turks were defeated, and had to migrate to the west, which allowed their former slaves to rise, at that time, Taizong was in full swing.
All plans are in the air, and all actions run into a wall.
Despair!
At that time, all that shrouded Du Tang's heart was despair!
Even he himself felt that revenge was hopeless, and it was impossible to take back what he had lost in this life, and the reason why he did not give up and kept fighting hopelessly was nothing more than some habit.
After that, it went through a lot.
Eventually, he settled down.
Consume!
He is playing the idea of comparing consumption with Taizong, he is younger than Taizong, just survive until Taizong dies of old age, there will definitely be a turnaround, so that he can take advantage of the turnaround.
Time, after all, is still on his side.
The descendants of the Du family are definitely brave in infighting!
In this regard, Taizong made a good start, and the latecomers must have learned the same.
The initiator, there is no aftermath!
Before that, there is no need to act blindly like a moth to a fire, what is needed is to seize the organization, form a tight network, act in the dark, accumulate strength, and lie dormant silently, once the opportunity is seized, it is possible to succeed. If you don't gather strength in advance, you won't be able to seize it later, even if an opportunity arises.
Du Tang has many identities, wandering between many forces, befriending those big figures of sects and gate valve families, befriending those rising stars, secretly, coercing and seducing, or seducing, forming his own forces.
In his heyday, he had shadows in almost every larger sect of the gate lord family.
In the court, his people also infiltrated little by little, and even, after infiltrating the academy to study, he also got an official position through the imperial examination and returned to Chang'an City, which he had not returned to for decades.
Finally, he served as a member of the household department.
At this time, he entered the Western Demon Sect and climbed to the position of elder.
It was there that the mysterious magic skill of the Silkworm Transformation was obtained.
Because of this, he met the Queen of Heaven and entered the Queen of Heaven Group.
Yes, at that time, the Queen of Heaven was not a Queen of Heaven, she was just the concubine of a prince who was not favored by Taizong, and she was a demon witch, she looked like she was only beautiful, but other than that, she was weak and useless.
However, Du Tang knew that the queen of heaven was powerful.
At this time, Du Tang already had a plan.
The fortress is best broken from the inside, and he is ready to infiltrate his forces into the court, infiltrate the court, wait for the opportunity, and at the last moment, kill him with one blow and regain what belongs to him.
Therefore, he used part of his own resources, used the resources of the Western Demon Sect, and focused on the queen of heaven, who was still unknown at the time, and supported her to win the favor of the prince and gain the trust of the prince.
After that, little by little, against the other princes, their ambitions were stirred, and then, a lot of things happened naturally.
Yes, Taizong is indeed a wise and martial artist.
It's just that, as a great grandmaster, he is instinctively indifferent to family affection and doesn't pay much attention to it.
Originally, there was a contradiction between imperial power and martial arts, and the two were actually opposites, one side paid attention to entering the WTO, and the other side paid attention to birth, just like a fish and a bear's paw, and the two could not have both.
If you want to have both in your hands, even if it's Taizong, you can't.
This is life, born as a human being, there are always regrets, and it is impossible to be perfect.
There is a trade-off!
In his later years, Taizong focused more on cultivation and wanted to extend his longevity, but as a great grandmaster, dragon qi was no longer a bonus to him, but a restriction, especially in the case of power that he had not left behind, so the extended longevity was not reached, although the power was firmly in his hands, he was somewhat neglected for family affairs.
After all, he was often in retreat, occasionally meeting ministers, and not having much contact with his sons.
His ambitious sons, each of them regarded themselves as Taizong alive, and when Taizong launched the palace change, most of them were already sensible, and everything was in their eyes and hearts.
In his later years, Taizong was exhausted and couldn't cope with the contradiction between martial arts and imperial power, and there was a rift in his heart, so he did a lot of wrong things.
This gave the sons an opportunity to take advantage of.
At the instigation of Du Tang, his sons fought with each other and fought secretly, each of them regarded each other as enemies, even if they were the biological brothers of the same mother.
Even, there was an arrogant person who led the tribe to launch a mutiny, and then, it was quickly pacified by Yu Lin Wei, and the arrogant prince also died under the arrows of some guy with ulterior motives.
When Taizong came back to his senses, his capable princes died and degraded, and the only one who was still safe and sound was the most cowardly guy who was the least unsuccessful and least like him in his eyes.
This man is the husband of the diva.
Shouyuan is coming to an end, looking back on the past, endless regrets.
Being like yourself may not be a good thing, right?
Approaching death, the rift in his heart is getting bigger and bigger, and the erosion of imperial power and dragon qi has covered Taizong's martial will with a layer of dust, and at the end of his life, he has become a sentimental old man.
In the end, he could only help his least favorite son onto the horse, making him the crown prince and the heir of the Tang Empire.
All of this is due to Du Tang's contributions.
After Taizong's death, the prince ascended the throne, and the queen of heaven, who was originally a concubine, became the queen, and the previous one died of illness.
After that, everything went smoothly with Du Tang's plan, and it was so smooth that he couldn't believe that when the emperor was in power, the queen of heaven could appear in the court in a grand manner, and deal with political affairs with him, called the two saints in the court.
Among them, Du Tang also played a role.
At that time, he had been promoted to the position of right minister.
The left minister is the emperor's uncle, the most opposed to the queen of heaven's gate valve representative.
Next, the emperor died, and it was another bloody storm.
As the number one minion of the Queen of Heaven, he defeated the Zuo Xiang, who represented the Kansai Gate Valve, put the old guy to death, became the Zuo Xiang himself, and pushed the Queen of Heaven to the throne of the emperor in one fell swoop.
In his opinion, all this is his own credit.
The queen of heaven is nothing more than a pawn, a pawn under her own command.
At that time, he was only one foot away from being able to advance to the Great Grandmaster.
The reason why he did not advance to the Great Grandmaster was because he understood that he could not have both fish and bear's paws, and if he achieved the Great Grandmaster, if he didn't want to be as mediocre as Taizong in his later years, he had to stay away from the throne.
And the throne is his ultimate goal, and he can't give it up.
Everything he did was to reclaim what belonged to him, and for that, he could abandon the peak of martial arts.
As a result, Du Tang instigated a court dispute, making the Queen of Heaven and the family gate valve like fire and water, and he himself was the loyal minions of the Queen of Heaven, fighting against the counterattack of those gate valves, and also suppressed the Du royal family.
At the most critical moment, he was ready to expose his identity and fight back.
The whole project went very smoothly and everything went as he expected.
Soon, it was the last moment.
At the time of the decisive battle, Du Tang was full of ambition.
In the end, he understood a truth.
That is, how can things be as good as they should be!
Mandate of Heaven!
No one can truly control the Mandate of Heaven!
Destiny is up to me......
To him, it's just a slogan!
