Chapter 762 Clear rewards and punishments, great fortune
Imperial Capital, East Palace.
The principals of the East Palace, including Zhan Shifu, Zuo Chunfang, You Chunfang, etc., down to the golden-armored divine generals and guards, were all cautious and did not dare to breathe.
There is no other reason.
Mr. Ming Jing came back from the Jinluan Palace with a sullen face. Although he was not furious, anyone could see that the prince was in a bad mood.
"Prince, Your Majesty is too disrespectful to you. He scolded you in public. How will you convince the public in the future?"
After taking their seats in the palace, East Palace Young Master Zhan Shi looked very ugly and couldn't help but murmur.
The rest of the East Palace officials, the great supernatural monks, the staff, and the guests nodded one after another, and they all looked suffocated.
In the past, Mr. Ming Jing would have been reprimanded after hearing such false remarks about the Holy Spirit. However, this time he was silent, his eyes were dark, and he was lost in thought. Today's meeting, what he did today is indeed a bit excessive.
He was furious because of some trivial matter. Although he was not scolded in public, the people scolding him today were all his people. The affairs he was responsible for and various behaviors were undoubtedly a slap in the face in public, undermined his prestige, and treated him badly.
No due respect.
The enthronement ceremony is approaching, and he is about to take charge of the entire Dachang Dynasty. This is a critical moment to establish his authority.
According to the rules, the sacred weapon of the state changes hands. Which emperor in the past has not tried his best to pave the way for the next generation of new emperors. If there is no opportunity to establish authority, he must try every means to create opportunities so that the supreme authority can pass peacefully. How can he be embarrassed in public at this critical moment?
reason.
After all, the Dachang Dynasty was not a secular dynasty, and the relationship between the contemporary emperor and the prince was relatively more equal.
The closer the enthronement ceremony gets, the closer the status of the two sides becomes.
A new generation replaced the old ones, which reversed the final stage of the transition, and the crown prince's status was even slightly higher.
However, the situation in Dachang Dynasty is different this time.
The last Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty faced the test of the Zhongzhou Demonic Disaster, and its performance might not be good. Emperor Lingwei was defeated by the veterans of the dynasty. With the strong support of the Immortal Officials, his prestige and power did not decline but increased.
In other words, when the dynasty controlled the court, the main power of the Immortal Court was still closely surrounding Emperor Lingwei, with him as the core of power in order to deal with the uncertain situation that followed.
"What do you really want?"
Mr. Ming Jing's eyes were dark and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
It is obvious that nowadays, the Immortal Court of Dachang Dynasty is estranged from morality, and many people have had second thoughts in life, breaking the rules and doing things against nature.
This time, Emperor Lingwei reprimanded and suppressed him in person, which was undoubtedly a kind of temptation and idle chess.
If the evil disaster cannot be eliminated in time, and the previous generation's imperial court has poor performance in the fairy court, the idle chess at the moment may very well become an excuse to overthrow the table. In the future, the prince will be incompetent and incapable of great achievements, etc. The dirty water will be poured out from all directions.
"Eh~"
Mr. Ming Jing sighed slightly, and his mood was quite heavy. It was not because of his personal future and interests. At worst, he would no longer be the prince. He was still a monk with great supernatural powers, practicing hard in isolation and seeking immortality. There were many ways out.
What he is really worried about is that once the gap is opened and the rules are broken, the society will be in turmoil.
In the east palace, there was deathly silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
Everyone was clear in their hearts, but no one dared to open the discussion. Some were just silent and worried.
Just when everyone in the East Palace was silent, outside the East Palace, the sound of the golden-armored god general was heard shouting and singing.
Mr. Mingjing, who was sitting quietly on the throne, heard the movement and learned that it was Master Yulou. His expression softened slightly and he heard from a distance with his spiritual consciousness:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, why are you in such a hurry? Is there another trouble?"
Recently, Mr. Ming Jing has been hearing bad news every day, with very little good news, and he has become accustomed to it.
When he saw Master Yulou coming in a hurry, he knew something was wrong and had an ominous premonition.
"Your Majesty, this is not trouble, but good news, great news!"
Master Yulou appeared in the hall in a flash, and hurriedly walked in with square steps.
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, I wonder what the good news is?"
Zhan Shi of Donggong Zhan Shifu, who was also a third-grade monk with great supernatural powers, was overjoyed when he saw Master Yulou, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
When Master Yulou saw Mr. Ming Jing, all his colleagues in the East Palace looked at him with curiosity on their faces. He immediately took out a ball of black and red Qi from his sleeve and placed it in front of everyone.
"This is."
Mr. Ming Jing, all the monks belonging to the East Palace in the palace are all powerful monks with good eyesight. As soon as they saw the black and red Qi in the palm of the real man, they saw the clues, and each of them showed a look of surprise.
"This Qi, the source of disaster, seems a bit familiar. Could it be that
Master Yulou smiled calmly: "Exactly!"
Seeing such a firm answer from Master Yulou, Mr. Ming Jing, Dong Gong Zhan Shi, Shao Zhan Shi and others were surprised.
The scenes that took place in today's court meeting were indeed frustrating, but ultimately, it was not that Emperor Lingwei and the current forces were greedy for power in the world, but that they were influenced by evil disasters and had two minds.
Once the demonic disaster can be resolved in time without affecting the performance evaluation of the heavenly court in the upper realm, then all problems will be solved.
Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.
A moment ago, everyone was still worried that there was no way to break the situation. Unexpectedly, Master Yulou immediately gave him hope.
Mr. Ming Jing was beaming with joy and couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, you are really an unparalleled scholar in the country. At the critical moment, I have to look at you."
Zhan Shi, Shao Zhanshi and other East Palace staff members all looked envious after hearing Mr. Ming Jing's unabashed praise of Master Yulou.
"Your Majesty, how dare I take credit? The credit is not mine, but someone else's."
Upon hearing this, Master Yulou waved his hands repeatedly.
He is an open-minded person and is not a greedy person who is greedy for success. He is practical and realistic in everything.
"Oh?" Mr. Ming Jing became interested: "Which Taoist friend is this handiwork? I must reward it generously."
"It's little friend Ling Xiao and his subordinate, the Little Fairy Boy." Upon hearing this, Mr. Ming Jing's expression suddenly became wonderful.
It's Chu Chen again.
It was precisely because of Chu Chen's insight into the demonic disaster that the Immortal Court knew the seriousness of the demonic disaster and then paid attention to it.
Without Chu Chen's reminder, the evil disaster would have been much worse, and it might even have gotten out of hand and made great achievements.
Now, Chu Chen actually made another contribution. Mr. Ming Jing suddenly became curious and asked:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, what's going on? Please tell me carefully."
Master Yulou smiled:
"The thing is like this, thanks to Chu Chen's little fairy boy who reported the news, he has the magical power of [mediating disasters]. Today Chu Chen went to Tianbaohui, Zhongzhou for business, and happened to meet the guest of the Ma family.
The great elder, Old Man Shanyin, encountered a demonic obstacle, so he took action to protect the law. In the process, his subordinate, the Little Fairy Boy, saw at a glance that Old Man Shanyin possessed the power of Shenfei's bloodline and had the ability to cause plague disasters."
"After receiving Chu Chen's report, I was afraid that something might happen, so I personally went to Zhongzhou, captured the old man of Shanyin, and brought him down in front of the Taoist Monument. Maybe it was God who blessed me with great prosperity, but the old man of Shanyin encountered another evil obstacle.
, the Taoist heart was lost, and a flaw was revealed in front of the Taoist Monument."
Following Master Yulou's explanation, Mr. Mingjing, Donggong Zhanshi, Shao Zhanshi and others all looked happy and fortunate.
I have to say that the whole process was extremely coincidental.
If it hadn't been for chance, the demon behind the deliberate plan might not have surfaced so easily.
"God bless me with great prosperity!"
Mr. Ming Jing was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The master and servant are really lucky."
Master Yulou smiled and approved.
This time, it is really the blessing of heaven's luck. At the critical moment, noble Tianyi comes and everything goes well.
After having important clues to solve the demonic disaster, Mr. Mingjing did not chat too much with the real person in Yulou. He made a prompt decision and summoned experts who were good at deduction and medical skills. He also ordered all forces in the Celestial Dynasty and the Immortal Court to start eradicating the demonic disaster.
The enthronement ceremony is about to take place, and the Kyushu barrier has long been opened.
Zhongzhou Barrier is no exception. It is closed inside and outside at all times, making it difficult to get out and enter.
The demon has sneaked into Zhongzhou and will be unable to escape for a while.
Previously, the reason why the demon disaster was unable to be dealt with was because the demon was hiding in the dark, and even if the Celestial Court wanted to take action, it could not find its opponent.
Now that the Celestial Court has clues about the "Qi of the Source of Disaster", it can immediately follow the clues to search for the demons who are behind the scenes and causing trouble, catch them in the jar, and eliminate them one by one.
In any matter, there are two sides of the same coin.
The demon penetrated deep into Zhongzhou, caused a great demonic disaster, and severely defeated the Celestial Empire's army, almost shaking the foundation of the Celestial Kingdom. Now that the matter is exposed, the backlash will follow, and a heavy price will inevitably be paid.
For a time, the entire Zhongzhou suddenly became lively, and there was movement in all directions.
The inner city of the imperial capital, Chen Mansion.
After returning from the "Tianbaohui" trade fair, Chu Chen was not idle. With the help of the Nine Nether Alliance, he spent millions of jade coins to buy a luxurious four-in-one house with a garden in the inner city of the imperial capital where the powerful gathered.
, as the place where younger brother Pengju settles in the imperial capital.
This was Chu Chen's plan early on, and he had already entrusted the Nine Nether Alliance to help him find someone.
He was not in a hurry at first, but after learning that his younger brother Pengju was favored by his mentor Tang Boqing, and that the Tang Dynasty intended to betroth his beloved daughter to his younger brother, he became more and more concerned about the mansion.
After all, even if Tangzhou Mu doesn't mind Peng Ju's family being poor, the old Chen family can't let their daughter live in a small house with two square meters with Peng Ju and suffer hardships.
After entering the small house, I'm afraid that even Miss Tang's maidservant can't stay here.
The Sijin Mansion is a standard large-scale mansion with a large garden courtyard. It is located in the inner city of the imperial capital where every inch of land is precious. It looks extremely grand, and the Tang family's mansion is nothing more than that.
Chu Chen originally planned to buy a house with five or even six jins. After all, this is the imperial capital, so he won't lose money by buying a property.
It's a pity that I didn't buy it.
It's not that I don't have enough money, it's that I don't have a suitable house to buy.
However, despite this, there is a four-bedroom house in the inner city of the imperial capital. My younger brother Pengju seems extremely happy. He has been smiling and full of energy these days.
The world is converging. No matter which world you work in a small town, it is an extremely happy thing to have an ideal house in the imperial capital and a place to live in the land of struggle.
"Brother, are you out of seclusion?
The next day, Chu Chen was meditating in the clean room of his new house. When he heard that his younger brother Pengju was looking for him, he suddenly had a strange look on his face. Is there someone from the Ma family?
He was originally looking forward to the arrival of the Ma family. After all, the Ma family promised to give him a piece of "Suzaku Lingshi" as a reward for protecting the law.
However, after it was reported that the old man from Shanyin had the blood of Shen Fei, the situation became a bit embarrassing.
Last night, he contacted Master Yulou to inquire about the situation, but it turned out that Master seemed to be very busy and was nowhere to be found, unable to find anyone at all.
Even without asking, Chu Chen could guess that the old man of Shanyin must have been taken away by Xianting.
However, he behaved correctly and fearlessly. He immediately left the clean room and went to the reception room in the front yard to meet the Ma family.
As soon as he entered the hall, Ma Huanzong, who looked anxious, saw Chu Chen and immediately stood up from his seat. Without saying a word, he fell to the ground:
"Please, Taoist Master Chu, save my Ma family, and ask Xianting to open up the net and give my Ma family a way out!"
Chu Chen's Taoist practice was profound. Just as Ma Huanzong was about to kneel down, he predicted it and quickly raised his hand to help him up. He was confused and was surprised in his heart.
The Great Elder of the Majia Keqing, Old Man Shanyin, possesses the blood of Shen Fei and controls the power of disasters. The Immortal Court can at most control him and not cause too much trouble to others unless other troubles are involved.
Chu Chen didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the wealthy families in the imperial capital of Zhongzhou, but he was closely involved in this matter, so it was hard for him to stay out of it.
"Huanzong, what are you doing? What happened?"
Ma Huanzong said with a sad face:
"Taoist Master Chu, yesterday the strong men from the Immortal Court took away my elder Hakka. They said he had the blood of Shen Fei and wanted to force him to take the test in front of the Taoist Monument. After the test,
In the core, Elder Shanyin's old illness relapsed, and he encountered demonic obstacles again. The master of the Immortal Court saw through the demon with the power of disaster dormant in Elder Shanyin's body."
"It is said that this demon was involved in the Demonic Disaster in Zhongzhou and was the source of the Demonic Disaster. Taoist Master Chu, our Ma family did not know about it at all. We are unjustly accused. I heard that you discovered the Demonic Disaster, and you were able to find the Demonic Disaster in the Immortal Courtyard." The higher-ups have spoken and asked the Taoist priest to have a kind word for our Ma family."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention.
Ma Huanzong was seriously ill and sought medical treatment. He had no choice but to kill Chu Chen's disciples.
However, Chu Chen and Chen Pengju were stunned after hearing this.
After sending Ma Huanzong away, the two brothers were still immersed in shock.
Chen Pengju swallowed his saliva and sighed: "Brother, this is too much of a coincidence." "No, it's not a coincidence."
Chu Chen murmured to himself, not only remembering the scene yesterday when the little devil hurriedly came to him to show off.
At that time, the little ghost said that it caused great misfortune by causing the devil's curse behind the disaster to smoke. He did not pay attention to it, but he heard from Ma Huanzong that the devil was unlucky at a critical moment by chance and encountered the recurrence of the old illness of the old man from Shanyin. , when it was exposed, Chu Chen was a little shocked.
Others thought it was a coincidence, but he knew it very well.
This is not a coincidence, it is entirely the work of some kid.
Except for him, I'm afraid no one knows that the peerless devil who stirred up a bloody storm in Zhongzhou and disturbed all the princes in the court has capsized in the gutter and fell on the body of a harmless little devil.
Chen Pengju was surprised: "Brother, isn't this a coincidence?" "No."
Chu Chen replied, and immediately used the magic formula to call out the little ghost sleeping in the "Pure Yin Gourd".
"Brother, what happened? I was exhausted last night. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do."
"Little devil, you have made great achievements, I'm afraid the Immortal Court will give you a high official title."
As soon as the little ghost boy heard the word "official title", his whole body became energetic.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said in surprise:
"Brother, what happened?"
Chu Chen did not give in and explained what Ma Huanzong said.
Chen Pengju couldn't understand what was going on, but the kid understood it, which was a surprise.
"Senior brother, is this my handiwork? I am really that powerful."
The little ghost murmured to himself, with a look of shock on his face. Even though he was usually awesome and felt good about himself, this was the first time that he felt his abilities so intuitively, and he couldn't help but feel like a dream. .
Chu Chen smiled when he saw that the little ghost was a little worried about gain and loss.
Whether it is to control subordinates or to teach disciples and children, the best way is to "clear rewards and punishments." If you do something wrong, you should be reprimanded. If you do well, you should be rewarded and fully affirmed.
"Little devil, you heard me right. All of this is your handiwork. You have really made great achievements with your true skills. Hahaha, you are the most talented fairy boy in the world. You can mediate disasters with ease. There is no one like you in the world.
Ordinary people."
"You are unique and unparalleled in the world!" "I am so powerful."
After hearing the compliments and affirmations from his senior brother one after another, the little ghost felt a little giddy and his whole expression was in a trance.
After a while, the little ghost turned into a wisp of smoke and floated in the air.
He fell asleep straight up.
Seeing this scene, Chen Pengju was stunned and pointed at the little devil:
"Brother, what's wrong with the little devil?"
Chu Chen was also a little dazed. After a few words of praise, why did the little devil faint?
He just wanted to wake up the little devil.
However, at this moment, as the master, Chu Chen keenly sensed an obscure and mysterious aura from the little ghost boy.
Immediately, Chu Chen was overjoyed.
"The opportunity for breakthrough, the opportunity for little devil's breakthrough has come.
