Chapter 768 Eighteen important ministers of the country
Mr. Ming Jing was enshrined in Mount Tai, possessed by the ancestral dragon, and blessed by destiny. After returning to the imperial capital, he led all the civil and military officials and high-ranking officials to the ancestral temple without stopping, and held a grand sacrificial ceremony.
Emperor Dachang has two great artifacts, one is called the "Shanhe Sheji Sword" and the other is the "Nine Dragons Jade Seal".
These two artifacts gather the hearts and minds of all people to suppress the destiny of a country and dynasty. They are the top magical weapons in this world. They are invincible and extremely lethal.
With these two great artifacts in hand, you can reach the pinnacle of this world in no time. There are only a handful of people who can be your enemies, including even the Immortals who can defeat them.
The most important thing is that these two artifacts do not have high requirements for the owner's own Taoism and cultivation. As long as he is a monk with great magical powers, possessed by the ancestral dragon, and with destiny in his body, he can obtain the artifact and recognize his owner.
Regardless of whether you are a fourth-grade magical monk or a third-grade monk with great magical powers, with the divine weapon in hand, you can instantly reach the top of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that you can reach the sky in one step.
Those who are artifacts are the ones who live in them.
After Emperor Lingwei ascended to heaven, the [Shanhe Sheji Sword] and [Nine Dragon Jade Seal] stayed in the ancestral temple.
After Mr. Mingjing worshiped Taizu Dachang and his ancestors in the ancestral temple, the two sacred artifacts came alive and flew in front of him on the spot, suspended in the air.
"Your Majesty, please take charge of the country!"
In front of the ancestral temple, the royal family members, civil and military officials, and the high-ranking officials of the Immortal Court congratulated each other in unison, the sound was like a loud bell.
Mr. Mingjing, who was wearing a royal robe and a flat crown on his head, looked at Taizu Dachang and his ancestors, and then looked back at the royal family members, civil and military officials, and high-achieving immortals who were paying homage in front of the temple. He did not hesitate, holding a
The emperor's sword, dragging the jade seal with one hand.
The "Ancestral Dragon's Qi" in Mr. Ming Jing's body resonated with it, and in an instant, the artifact recognized its owner without any surprise.
Immediately, Mr. Ming Jing exuded a majestic and majestic aura, and a shocking transformation occurred.
Before that, Mr. Mingjing was only a third-level Taoist cultivator, with Taoist and magical powers in charge of every state and state. But now, with the efforts of all the people and the luck of the country, he has boundless magical power and vast magical powers, and he has suddenly become this
The most powerful man in the square world.
At this moment, Mr. Mingjing has officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. His reign name is Mingjing, and his emperor's name is Mingjing the Great.
In the next few days, the imperial capital became extremely lively.
The first is the issue of the fate of the elders of the previous Celestial Court.
Emperor Lingwei led his ministers to fly into the sky, but only a few hundred people could fly to the earth. At present, there are still a large number of meritorious people who have not been settled.
The threshold for becoming a god in heaven and earth is high, and most people cannot reach it. However, the threshold for becoming a god in the human world is not high. As long as you have made great achievements and made outstanding contributions, you will have the opportunity to become a god in the human world, enjoy the incense of all people, and become a god by imperial decree.
For most practitioners, this is undoubtedly the widest Yangguan Road.
Even so, the last few Celestial Courts had great headaches over the issue of canonizing gods in the human world.
The land of Nine Provinces in the Middle Earth is overcrowded with gods, and there is a shortage of gods.
Dajiuzhou has been in operation for many years, and its population has continued to expand, and the number of gods it can support has increased year by year. However, there are too many practitioners in the world, and there are many meritorious people who have made meritorious services and made outstanding contributions. There are too many monks and too little food to accommodate them.
For this reason, all the celestial dynasties were first established, and there were many turmoils over the matter of canonizing gods.
In the past, the ministers of the imperial court who had great ambitions and noble minds, and the virtuous people of the immortal court, all had to compare their money and money for the sake of "posthumous matters", spitting and flying memorials all over the sky.
This time, Mr. Ming Jing is in charge of the Celestial Court, and the previous problem of "shortage of divine thrones" has disappeared.
On the contrary, there is quite an abundance of divine places in the human world.
This was due to Emperor Lingwei and Mr. Mingjing, after the evil tide came, he fought against all opinions, united all parties, and established the initiative to open up the prefectures outside Guanzhou and expand the territory to twenty states.
After several years of operation, it has achieved great results and its strength has steadily improved. More and more indigenous people have been naturalized, and coupled with continuous immigration, the population of the twenty states outside the customs has skyrocketed in the past two years, presenting a new atmosphere and providing many "gods".
It is undoubtedly a good thing to kill two birds with one stone by enthroning gods in twenty states outside the Pass.
On the one hand, it has placed the outstanding officials of the previous term, on the other hand, it has further strengthened
The strengths of the twenty states outside the customs complement each other and benefit all parties.
Of course, not everyone is willing to go to Guanwaizhou County.
Even though the twenty states outside the Pass are not as powerful as they used to be after years of operation, under the influence of old ideas, most people still regard the gods in Bianhuangzhou County as "exiles" and do not want to see the gods and priests in remote areas.
Seeking for the prosperity of the Kyushu of Central China and the Great Kyushu.
Therefore, this session of the Celestial Immortal Court is very interesting.
Only those monks who died and became ghosts, or suffered disasters, degeneration of gods and humans, and physical decay, can they readily go to the Guanwai Prefecture to become gods. Faced with so many "gods", most monks hesitate, thinking that they still have more.
I hope that my Taoist cultivation can be further improved, and I still want to give it a try.
The turmoil over the Conferment of Gods was not a big one. What was really exciting was the ownership of the new high-level position in the Celestial Court.
The positions at the top of the Celestial Court were filled with carrots and pits. Emperor Lingwei led nearly a hundred people to ascend to the upper heaven, transcending the world. Many positions were suddenly vacated for the six cabinet ministries, local state pastors, and the Celestial Council of Elders.
Among them, the candidates for the highest-level cabinet ministers of the Celestial Court, the Grand Marshal of the Army, and the Grand Elder of the Central Council of Elders of the Celestial Court are the most eye-catching.
Originally, there were four great elders in the cabinet, three great marshals in the military, and seven great elders in the Immortal Central Council of Elders. Thanks to the expansion of territory by the Dachang Dynasty and the edicts passed down by the Immortal Court in the upper realm, the rewards in this realm were increased.
.
As a result, one additional minister was added to the cabinet, one was added to the Marshal of the Army, and two were added to the Xianting Central Council of Elders, forming a pattern in which ninety-eight important ministers who assisted the country and Emperor Mingjing ruled the world separately.
These eighteen important ministers of the state of Zuo are not trivial. In addition to being in charge of the celestial court, taking possession of life and death, and having overwhelming power, the most important thing is that most of the people who ascended to the immortal world have the experience of serving as important ministers of the state of zuo.
It can take as little as ten or eight years, as long as twenty or thirty years, to become a god.
In other words, becoming an important minister of Zuoguo means that you have half a foot in the heaven of the upper world, and you can hope to become a god in the immortal world and live forever.
Seven days later, in the inner city of the imperial capital, Chen Mansion, a remote and quiet courtyard.
Chu Chen was sleeping on his side, and on a small bed not far away, the little ghosts were also sleeping on their sides, one big and one small, very harmonious.
Suddenly, Chu Chen opened his eyes.
There was no other reason. With his strong spiritual consciousness, he felt someone approaching.
"Dali, Pengju, come in."
As the voice fell, two figures entered the small courtyard. Chen Peng's voice arrived first before anyone arrived.
"Brother, the news of the Celestial Court meeting has been released." Chu Chen meditated and adjusted his breath. He looked up and saw his younger brother Pengju and Hu Dali coming excitedly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Oh~ You don't need to be a brother to know that no one in our Chen family has been elected as an important minister of the country, and we still need to work hard.
"Hahaha~"
After hearing Chu Chen's joke, Chen Pengju, Hu Dali laughed, and even the divine generals, soldiers and horses guarding the courtyard were no exception.
"Brother, I will definitely work hard. However, my eldest sister and I are still very weak in cultivation. I'm afraid there is no hope for this term. Our Chen family still has to look at you, brother."
Chen Pengju thought about it with great interest for a moment, then answered with a smile.
Although what my brother said was a joke, it was not an absurd statement without any basis.
The eldest sister, Chen Wan, was born in Shuiliandong, a military strategist, and was passed down from Guigu personally. If the opportunity is good enough, she can become one of the powerful people with great supernatural powers. It is not an unattainable dream for her to become a military marshal. If she can't do it this time, she will definitely be able to do so in the next one.
As for him, he was born in the top three imperial examinations, was a dignified young man, and had laid the most excellent foundation in Confucianism and Taoism. He was recognized as a minister of the cabinet.
As for his brother Chu Chen, it goes without saying that he has become one of the great supernatural powers after practicing for ten years. I am afraid that he will not have to wait until the next term. This term, he is expected to enter the Immortal Court Central Elder's House and compete for the position of the nine great elders.
"That's great!"
Chu Chen admired his younger brother's self-confidence quite a lot. He was not arrogant and wasted his youth.
Because of the "Bo Yao" incident, my younger brother Pengju changed from a simple young man to a man who was immersed in studying, taciturn, and mature. Fortunately, under the guidance of his mentor Tang Boqing over the years, my younger brother Pengju has changed a lot now. He has a mature temperament but no lack of vigor.
Very good.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen remembered something and asked with a smile: "Has your master Tang Zhou Mu been transferred this time?"
Chen Pengju had numerous classmates in the imperial capital and was well-informed. When his brother asked about his mentor, a smile immediately appeared on his face:
"According to rumors, your husband is expected to be transferred back to the Sixth Ministry and serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. It is said that the imperial decree for transfer has already left the imperial capital, and it is almost certain."
When Chu Chen heard this, his heart trembled.
The official ranks of the Dachang Dynasty were different from ordinary secular dynasties. Official ranks were based on Taoism and cultivation.
The threshold for first and second grade is extremely high.
Therefore, the six ministers of the Dachang Dynasty were also of the third rank, the same level as the Zhou Mu of the third rank.
However, there is a huge difference between the two. Officials in the imperial capital are born half a level higher.
The transfer from Yuzhou Mu to the six ministers was a qualitative change for Tang Boqing, and he had crossed an important springboard, and he was expected to join the cabinet in the future.
Of course, if you enter the cabinet with a third-grade Taoist cultivation level, the competition is fierce. If you enter the cabinet with a second-grade Taoist cultivation level, you are a sure shot. Everything depends on Tang Boqing's fortune in the future.
"Pengju, congratulations."
Chen Pengju smiled reservedly, "Master has made progress, and those who are apprentices are the happiest."
"Brother, don't talk about me anymore. You and Sister Wan'er also have good news here. Senior Yu Xuzi, the headmaster of Guigu, has been promoted to Marshal of the Army, and he has become one of the important ministers of the country."
"Brother Wei guessed it."
Chu Chen smiled, and was not surprised at all that the great uncle of Yuxuzi was appointed as an important minister of the country.
The Guigu lineage was originally a prominent military force. As the headmaster of the Guigu lineage, Master Yu Xuzi's uncle had great influence in the military. In addition, he was profound in Taoism and had superb killing skills. He was born in the late period of the previous term to assist Mr. Mingjing.
, now it is appropriate to add someone as an important minister to assist the country, and it is not a rare thing.
Yuxuzi's uncle was added as "an important minister of the country", which is most beneficial to Sister Wan'er.
Chu Chen is not in the military system, and his care is limited.
In comparison, although they are not from the same family, Yulou Zhenren, who has a good friendship with him, is Chu Chen's real supporter.
So, Chu Chen immediately asked:
"Pengju, has Master Yulou taken the position of chief elder of the Immortal Central Elders' House?"
As the name suggests, the chief elder of the Immortal Court of Elders is the number one elder of the Immortal Court and a candidate for Heavenly Master.
At present, the Celestial Master of Immortal Court is concurrently held by Mr. Ming Jing. Once Mr. Ming Jing no longer serves as the Celestial Master of Immortal Court, and the power of Immortal Court is delegated, the chief elder can take over the position of Celestial Master of Immortal Court.
Master Yulou is originally one of the great elders of the Immortal Central Elder House. He is one of the candidates for the chief elder in terms of his Taoist cultivation and resume and qualifications. Now that Mr. Mingjing is in charge of the Celestial Dynasty, Master Yulou's status has also increased.
He is very likely to compete for the position of Chief Elder.
"Your Majesty nominated Senior Yulou Zhenren as the Chief Elder, and all the elders of the Xianting Central Elder Council seconded the vote. He was elected without any setbacks and will serve as the Chief Elder in rotation for five years."
Officials of the third rank and below in the Dachang Dynasty, Xianli, have a term of three years, and are promoted and demoted based on performance appraisal, while the senior officials of the Xianting Center of the Celestial Dynasty have a term of five years.
Fifty years, exactly ten terms.
The same person, the chief minister of the cabinet, the chief elder (Celestial Master), and the general marshal of the armed forces, can rotate for a maximum of two terms.
In other words, in the next five years, or even ten years, Master Yulou will be the leader of Taoism in the world and the leader in Taoism.
As he spoke, Chen Pengju cupped his hands towards his brother and congratulated:
"Congratulations, brother. There is no news about your appointment as an alternate elder at the moment, but since Senior Yulou has become the chief elder, and with your past achievements and outstanding performance in the demon disaster, it will be no problem to become an alternate elder in the Immortal Court Central Elder's House.
.”
"Congratulations sir!"
The tiger's strength was the most exciting, and he immediately bowed and saluted.
As a ferocious tiger, he roared into the sky, his voice was like a bell, and he was full of momentum. Even if he was congratulating him, he was still full of energy and vibrated the entire small courtyard.
Hearing this, the divine generals and soldiers protecting the law in the courtyard knelt down on one knee as if they were waking up from a dream, and congratulated him in unison.
"Congratulations
Master, congratulations, Master!"
For a time, the hospital was filled with congratulations and seemed extremely lively.
Chu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had a good tiger mount, a godly general, a soldier and a horse. If he didn't learn from the good ones, he would learn from the little devil and congratulate him for his success.
Of course, Chu Chen is not a stingy person. If he succeeds, he will be rewarded and get some luck.
When he learned that Master Yulou had become the chief elder, he knew it well.
It's crazy to be 100% sure, but there is definitely something to be sure of.
"Peng Ju, you just said that the Imperial Palace's transfer order from the Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty has come out of the Imperial Palace. So, my brother's transfer order is coming soon?"
"That's right, brother, you are a monk with great supernatural powers, and you are among the first to receive the transfer order. As for me, I'm afraid it will take a few more days."
Coincidentally, while the two brothers were discussing, word came from the guardian soldiers outside the courtyard.
"Report! An envoy from the Immortal Courtyard is coming to the door."
When Chu Chen and Chen Pengju heard this, their faces lit up with joy.
"Brother, the messenger from the Immortal Court must have come to announce the decree, and he will be reinstated today."
Chu Chen smiled slightly, looking very peaceful.
However, something was different about a certain little guy in the house.
As soon as he heard the word "official", the little kid who was sleeping on his side and still cultivating in his sleep suddenly jumped up and flew up into the air, shouting:
"Feng Guan? Feng Guan is here!"
The little ghost boy woke up from his sleep and was all confused. However, being "obsessed with officials", he quickly clarified his thoughts, looked around, and was very excited:
"Senior brother, senior brother, where is the emissary from the Immortal Court? Have my decrees regarding the appointment of officials come?"
