This will inevitably bring disaster to him and the Dou family.

General Dou also didn't want to support a clan leader who was friendly and close to today's son.

Because the other party will feel that he got the throne because of his blood, and he will not be sincerely grateful to him.

Is there a more suitable school than Mu Yikang?

Before deciding on this candidate, Dou Jing deliberately brought a generous gift and went to visit a family living in Chang'an West City -- if the Manchu civil and military officials knew that General Dou, who wanted wind and rain, would actually come to visit a cloth cloth who had no official or lord, I am afraid that he would be shocked.

Dou Jing was very cautious, first fasting at home, bathing and changing clothes, sending a prayer note in advance, and when he arrived at the door, he did not ask the servants to call the door, but personally went to greet the concierge: "Is Mr. Gongye at home?" ”

The old servant guarding the door opened his eyes and looked at him, and said a slow "oh": "It's the general who is here." ”

Then he got up and led the way: "Sir is waiting for you at home." ”

When Dou Jing was young, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and thought that things like the red sun in a woman's dream when she was pregnant were all created later, until he went out hunting and rescued a middle-aged scribe who accidentally fell off a cliff.

At that time, he was young and full of enthusiasm, and he did not ask for retribution for his kindness, but he rescued the people, and then he was about to leave, but he was stopped by the middle-aged scribe.

"The next surname is Gongye, and the single name is a follower."

This was the first thing he said.

Dou Jing replied without hesitation, and he didn't take it very seriously.

Then he listened to Gongye's teaching: "I look at the appearance of my feet, and in the coming day, I will definitely be able to ride in the golden root car and wear a crown of twelve strings, and your family will also be distinguished because of you." ”

Dou Jing laughed when he heard it, and felt deeply funny.

He felt that this man had probably been saved by himself, and he was grateful, so he wanted to say a few kind words to please him.

"Jin Genche, twelve strings of crowns, these are all things that can only be used by the Son of Heaven," Dou Jing wrapped the horsewhip around his wrist twice, and asked him funny: "Do you mean, I will be the Son of Heaven in the future?" ”

Gong Yexun shook his head: "You don't have the destiny of the Son of Heaven. ”

Dou Jing sneered and turned around to leave: "It's extremely boring! ”

"Leave slowly!"

Gong Yexun stopped him, covered his injured leg, limped to him, sighed, and said: "The technique I have learned is suspected of revealing the secret of heaven, and I have been punished by heaven and have fallen into this desperate situation. I have been here for two whole days, during which it is not that no one has passed here, but I have seen the steep cliffs, and I am afraid that I will die here if I can't save people, so I don't dare to reach out to help, and only Dou Lang is honest and sincere, and his heart is pure and kind, saving me from the catastrophe! ”

He solemnly bowed to Dou Jing: "Today Dou Lang saved me, I have a favor, and in the future I will save Dou Lang three times to repay today's kindness."

Dou Jing was enraged by him, and changed color and said, "The meaning of your words is not that I have three mortal tribulations?!" ”

Gongye followed his head and said, "That's right, that's right. ”

Dou Jing grabbed his shirt and raised his fist to fight: "You guy, I saved your life, but you curse me like this?!" ”

Gong Yexun unhurriedly pressed his palm against his clenched fist, and said slowly: "The first time I saved you, you have to remember that if something happens, go south, don't go north." ”

His expression was too determined, as if he had grasped that Dou Jing should have three tribulations in his fate.

Dou Jing was uneasy when he saw it, and his fist was raised for a long time, but it never fell.

Seeing this, Gongye Xun rescued the collar from his hand, and after straightening his clothes, he said goodbye to him: "I live in the west of Chang'an City, the innermost part of the ninth street in the city wall. Remember, you can also ask me this question twice. ”

He limped away.

Dou Jing stopped for a long time, until his back disappeared from view, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, and felt inexplicable: "This person is sick!" ”

He tried his best not to take this matter to heart, but somehow, he always recalled what Gongye Xun said.

If something happens, go south, not north.

It's just that a long time has passed, and nothing has happened, so he gradually forgot about it, and regarded Gongye Xun simply as a wandering warlock who "talks in the clouds and fogs".

Until the last years of Jingzong, the Son of Heaven invited his ministers to hunt in Shanglin Yuan, and King Wu took the opportunity to launch a rebellion and rebel.

At that time, the Son of Heaven and the important ministers were in the palace, and the young men who intended to compete in the cavalry and archery and compete for the attention of the Son of Heaven were entrenched in Shanglin Yuan, and after discovering that there were rebels outside Shanglin Yuan, they would only be besieged and die.

At that time, life and death were unpredictable, and the two sides were in dispute, and in the end, it was decided that each person would make his own choice.

Dou Jing suddenly remembered Gongye Xun.

He sent the gods to obey Gongyexun's words and went south.

Later, Dou Jing learned that the group of people who went north had encountered the main force of the rebels, and none of them survived.

He broke out in a cold sweat, and then realized that Gongye Xunguo really had some extraordinary skills, and after returning home, he told his wife Liang about it.

Liang said: "Is it for today's retribution that the husband helped others that day? This is not what a gentleman should think. Now Mr. Gongye's words have saved your life, and we should go and thank him together! ”

Immediately prepared a generous gift, and the husband and wife went to the west of Chang'an City to find Gongye Xun.

Gongye Xun found them, but the other party refused to see them.

Just let the old servant guarding the door pass the word on his behalf: "We will only have two sides in the future, Dou Lang should wait until the time when it is difficult to choose between life and death, and then come to see me." ”

resolutely thanked Dou Jing and his wife for their gifts.

Dou Jing remembered that Gongye Xun said that he would have three catastrophes, and he couldn't help sweating, so he treated Gongye Xun more and more respectfully in his heart, and sent people to greet him every New Year's Day.

And Gongye Xun really didn't see him again.

The second time they met, it was when the heroes united anyway, intending to overthrow the desolate emperor.

Dou Jing and his wife Liang came to Chang'an West City at night and asked the old servant guarding the door: "Is Mr. Gongye here?" ”

The old servant at the gate said kindly: "It's Dou Lang and Liang Niangzi, please come in, Mr. is waiting for you." ”

Gongye followed them.

Dou Jing told him the resentment in his heart: "When there is no way today, the disaster and society are here, and everyone will be punished!" Dou Jing is not talented, and he is willing to kill himself to become benevolent, to defend the society to the death, and to cross the corpse temple gate, it is not a pity! ”

Then he asked him straight to the point: "Sir, is it possible to accomplish what I have planned with your fellow practitioners?" ”

Liang sat on his knees, looking at her husband with a calm expression.

Gongye Xun nodded and replied to him: "What Dou Lang planned can be accomplished. ”

Dou Jing bowed solemnly to him and got up to leave with Liang.

And it did.

In this struggle for power, the Dou clan has gained the envy of the world, Kuang Fu the Son of Heaven first, for the reign of the emperor of the dynasty, many sons of the Dou family have been made marquis, and Dou Jing eats 10,000 households.

But somehow, slowly, there were more unpleasant voices in the court, and the home was no longer as comfortable as before.

“…… In the battle anyway, Tang Xing drove me forward, and died with several arrows in his body, and now his son has made some mistakes, and you forced me to kill him, and the next day I went underground, Tang Xing asked me why I wanted to kill his only son and cut off his sacrifice, what do I think?! ”

"Although Dou Cheng is my nephew, he is not an unlearned and unskilled person, how can he not afford the position of Hengyang Assassin History, how can you not avoid relatives when you don't hear about internal moves?"

Fellow villagers forcibly seized the property of other counties, causing hundreds of families to be ruined, and Dou Jing wanted to dispose of it, and when he was young, he hated this kind of person the most.

However, when the fellow villagers who had been with him knelt down in front of him, pleaded for the criminal, and were willing to use his official position to atone for his sins, Dou Jing could not bear it in the end.

They are all people who have lived and died with him, how can they bear to put them to death in person?

The court and the central government quarreled so much about this that some imperial historians even rushed to him and scolded him regardless of the etiquette: "What happened in the past was that he could be called a virtuous minister, and now he is acting, how is it different from the desolate emperor?" Dou Jing, in vain disregard of the law of the country, scourge Li Shu, death and annihilation, right in front of you! ”

Dou Jing was furious and immediately ordered him to be taken out of the hammer to be killed, and the frightened and unbelieving eyes of the people around him continued to appear in front of him until he returned home.

What's wrong with me?

Dou Jing asked himself painfully: Am I wrong?

But I, Dou Jing, am a human being, not a god, and I can't even have my own favoritism, and I can't even protect my fellow villagers and brothers' descendants?!

The concubines had a dispute, and you pushed me to make trouble in front of him, and he was very annoyed and asked Liang: "I am busy enough in the court, can you do a little bit of your best, and don't be like a puppet, just know how to eat fast and pray Buddha at home?" ”

Liang closed his eyes, silently reciting the Buddhist scriptures, and did not look at him.

"Again! You're always like that! Dou Jing looked at her impatiently and walked away.

Over the years, it is not that he has not encountered risks, but Dou Jing has suppressed the urge to see Gongye Xun.

It's not time yet.

The last chance, he thought, was to be used on the blade.

When the emperor in the palace fell ill and the imperial doctor secretly signaled that he could prepare for the funeral, Dou Jing knew that it was time to visit Gongye Xun for the third time.

"I want to ask you to make a divination for me," Dou Jing said, "Is it the right thing to do to welcome the son of the prince to enter the palace to inherit the heir?" ”

At this time, he was already an old man in his sixties, and Gong Yexun was even more old, but his eyes were sharp, his face was childish, and he did not look old and weak.

This time, Gongye watched him for a longer time.

In the end, it was as he wished.

Gongye Xun told him: "Ninety-five. The flying dragon is in the sky, and it is good to see the lord. This is the symbol of the Son of Heaven. ”

Dou Jing breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Following the process of his last visit, he should have said goodbye at this time, but Dou Jingshi was reluctant to help him three times back then, and this time, the fate was over.

He always felt sorry for saying goodbye to this strange man with great ability.

If such a power could be used by him......

And this time, Gongye Xun was not in a hurry to serve tea to the guests.

He asked Dou Jing: "Does the general intend to take the throne?" ”

Dou Jing really didn't expect that after Gongye followed the three answers, he would take the initiative to discuss the government with him, and he couldn't help but get excited, but he didn't hide it from him: "The big husband lives in the world, who doesn't want to dominate the world?!" ”

Gong Yexun nodded, and asked him again: "The general has been a powerful minister for several years, has the country of this dynasty been exhausted?" ”

Dou Jing hesitated for a few moments, but finally shook his head: "The hearts of the people in the world still belong to Mu's. ”

Gongye Xun sighed: "Since the general has this understanding and is extremely wealthy, it is time to think about one or two for his children and future generations." ”

Dou Jing was silent.

Gong Yexun waited for a long time, but he didn't listen to him, and then he knew that he had made up his mind, so he said: "In this case, I will make a divination for the general again." ”

Dou Jing's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, sir!" ”

This time, Gongye followed the divination for a longer time, and when it was over, he did not inform him of the results, and the book was on the white paper, folded three times and handed to him: "General, let's read it when we get home." ”

Dou Jing bowed, caught it with both hands, and carefully received it in his sleeve.

Gongye Xun closed his eyes and looked tired: "Let's go, you and I have been fated for a long time, and we will not see each other again." ”

After a slight pause, he said, "Dou Lang, cherish it without permission." ”
