Chapter 24 The pure and kind Shen Gongbao, the world understands that the king is Qin Yao
Soon after, when Ji Fa completed his contract with Prince Long, Qin Yao did not take him to Jiang Ziya's fortune-telling parlor as Xuanyuan Lan requested to take this opportunity to bring the monarch and his ministers together. Instead, he sent Ji Fa back to the inn and asked him to marry him.
He took his entourage and left Chaoge as soon as possible.
This is not to break up with Xuanyuan Lan, but because he understands Jiang Ziya better than the other party.
Before Jiang Taigong, who was known for his loyalty, was completely disappointed with Emperor Xin, even if Ji Fa knelt down and licked him for a while, and at this time he recognized him as his second father, Jiang Ziya would not go against Yuanshi Tianzun's plan to support business.
Therefore, when Xuanyuan Lan met Qin Yao again because of this matter, Qin Yao told the other party the reason in the most straightforward language.
"Why didn't you say this when we last met?"
Xuanyuan Lan was a little dissatisfied with this and asked complainingly.
"Because it's not that I won't do it, or that I can't do it, but that I can't do it now. Only when Jiang Ziya completely despairs of Di Xin can we take this step, otherwise it will be in vain." Qin Yao said.
Xuanyuan Lan was silent for a long time and said quietly: "It sounds like you have already made a plan for this?"
"I have some ideas." Qin Yao said, "But you need to implement them."
"Although what you just said left me speechless, it also exhausted my expectations and patience. If your idea doesn't work, I will follow my own idea. Then, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Xuanyuan Lan warned.
Qin Yao said seriously: "It will definitely work, unless Jiang Ziya's temperament changes drastically..."
The next evening.
After Emperor Xin went to court, he came to Daji as usual to have fun, but he found that his concubine was always in low spirits and even looked a little depressed. He asked confusedly: "Who has offended you again?"
Daji shook her head and said: "Report to your Majesty, no one messes with me. It's just that the deep palace is too deserted and the high walls look like a prison. After living there for a long time, it feels like living in a prison.
"
Di Xin narrowed his eyes and said in deep thought: "I see... King Lone also often feels bored. How about this, King Lone builds a palace for you outside the palace? If you get tired of living in the deep palace in the future, King Lone will accompany you.
I will go to the palace with you to stay for a few days."
Daji immediately laughed and hugged the other person: "Thank you, Your Majesty~"
Di Xin said with doting eyes: "If you have any requests in the future, please tell me directly to the lonely king. Don't keep it in your heart and make you unhappy."
Daji said: "I really have a request... I want Jiang Ziya to supervise the construction of this palace."
Di Xin frowned: "Why? You should know that King Gu doesn't like Taoist priests like them."
"I don't like him either, but it is undeniable that he is a really capable person." Daji said softly: "I heard that the ancient sage kings did not decide to employ people based on personal likes and dislikes, so I thought
By supervising the construction of the palace, I will give him an opportunity to be loyal to the king and prove that the king is no worse than those ancient holy kings."
Di Xin was deeply pleased and said with a smile: "In this harem, my beloved concubine is the only one who truly thinks of the lonely king wholeheartedly..."
On the same day.
As soon as it got dark, a palace chamberlain and a group of palace guards rushed to the fortune-telling parlor on the outskirts of the city, frightening the guests who were having their fortunes told.
"Let's go, let's go." Looking at the three or five people in front of the long table, the waiter said indifferently.
How dare ordinary people argue with such palace people? In an instant, there was no one else in the room. Only Jiang Ziya and his wife, Master Qin Yao and his disciples were still in the hall, watching the group of soldiers.
"Where is Jiang Ziya?" Standing in front of the soldiers, the chamberlain asked with his head raised.
"The grassroots are here." Jiang Ziya bowed his hands and saluted.
The chamberlain said: "The king ordered Jiang Ziya to supervise the construction of Lutai. He will take office immediately without any delay."
Jiang Ziya was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "May I ask, sir, what is this Lutai?"
"I can't explain it to you clearly. You will know it after you take office." The chamberlain said: "Master Jiang, please come with me."
Jiang Ziya was completely confused, so he turned around and said, "Lin Jiu, come with me. Junior Brother Shen, I will leave the fortune-telling parlor to you."
"Senior brother, go ahead, don't worry about this." Qin Yao responded.
Afterwards, Jiang Ziya left in a hurry with Uncle Jiu. Only then did Ma react and exclaimed with surprise on his face: "Ah, my master has become an official now."
Qin Yao smiled and said, "You are now an official. Congratulations, sister-in-law."
"Thank God, thank God, this day has finally come." Ma wept with joy, then clasped her hands together and said with a pious face.
Qin Yao found that this sister-in-law was quite interesting. She usually did not worship the gods and Buddhas of heaven and earth, but if something good happened, she would consider it to be God's blessing. She was an idealist.
…
His old friend suddenly became rich. This surprise made Ma sleepless all night. He finally stayed up until dawn, and immediately went to show off to his old sisters in high spirits. Enjoying the envious eyes of these sisters, his vanity was infinitely satisfied.
But just when she was immersed in this sense of happiness, Jiang Ziya suddenly came in a hurry, took her arm and was about to take her away.
"What's wrong, husband?"
Ma let the other party pull her to the street, her old face was full of smiles, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
"Go back and pack your things. Let's leave Chaoge immediately." Jiang Ziya said.
Ma was slightly startled and asked subconsciously: "Are you going to live outside the city?"
Jiang Ziya shook his head and said: "No, the Emperor... Your Majesty didn't allocate enough silver to build this Lutai. He just ordered corvees to be collected. This kind of work can't be done. It would be detrimental to one's morality, so I came directly here."
Ma was dumbfounded and said nonchalantly: "What do you mean you are running here?"
Jiang Ziya: "I just resisted the decree. In order to prevent the king from questioning me, we need to leave Chaoge immediately."
Hearing this, Ma's heart suddenly pounded, and he pulled back his wrist and stood there.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Ziya asked in confusion.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Ma's mind for a moment, and she forced a smile and said: "You go back and pack your things first, and I'm going to collect the bill. Otherwise, once we leave, won't the bill be ruined?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiang Ziya advised: "There is no need to care about these external things..."
"That's all my savings. Besides, won't we spend money after we escape from the royal city?" Ma said seriously.
Jiang Ziya thought so and let the other party go. But he never expected that not long after, Ma led a group of officers and soldiers to the fortune-telling parlor and surrounded the two-story building.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Ziya was stunned after seeing this scene, and pointed at Ma and asked.
"I never thought that I would gain glory and wealth by marrying you. I just asked you to try your best so that we can live a good life together. But I never thought that you just gave me a big surprise and then turned around and gave me bad news.
I am sixty-nine, not nineteen, not twenty-nine. I am old and frail, so how can I have the energy to accompany you to escape?" Ma said righteously.
Jiang Ziya was speechless.
"Catch him." The general waved his hand.
Hundreds of soldiers armed with guns and swords rushed into the hall. Qin Yao suddenly stood up and waved out a piece of immobilizing charm from his sleeve, immobilizing all the generals.
Jiang Ziya turned a deaf ear to this scene. He just looked at the couple in front of him, sighed, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote a letter of divorce on the spot, and threw it to the other party: "Just forget it, I'll run away for my life."
, I won’t bother you.”
Ma received the letter of divorce and saw that he didn't pursue his intention. He couldn't help but let out a long breath: "Don't blame me, you can only blame your life."
Jiang Ziya smiled bitterly, not wanting to look at him anymore, and turned to Qin Yao and said: "Junior brother, let's go..."
Qin Yao shook his head and said: "Brother and Uncle Jiu, let's go first. I have to stay and solve the Lutai matter. Otherwise, even if someone else builds it, I am afraid that the civil engineering work will be disappointing and the people will complain about the ghost response."
A demonic situation.”
Jiang Ziya straightened his face and bowed his head to the end: "Today I know that my junior brother is pure and kind, and has unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. Senior brother, I am extremely ashamed."
Qin Yao bent down and helped him up, saying: "I just can't bear the loss of innocent lives for this. I don't deserve the praise of my senior brother...Uncle Ninth, please protect my senior brother."
"Don't worry, if anyone wants to hurt him, they have to step over me." Uncle Jiu said with a solemn face.
"By the way, there's Tai Bing..." Jiang Ziya said.
Qin Yao made a promise: "I will take good care of him until Brother Taiyi returns."
Jiang Ziya now no longer had any worries, and quickly disappeared into the fortune-telling parlor with Uncle Jiu.
After raising his head and watching them leave, Qin Yao took back the yellow talisman paper, untied the seals of the generals in the hall, and said: "Get out!"
The generals knew that they could not defeat the opponent with their own strength, so they immediately turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, the place became empty.
Mr. Ma stood uneasily in the main room with the divorce letter in his hand. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
"What are you doing standing there, get out of here." Qin Yao looked at her old face and said indifferently.
Ma's previous domineering attitude towards Jiang Shang was gone, and she stammered, "This is my home."
"What are you dreaming about?" Qin Yao laughed: "Jiang Ziya lent me money to open this fortune-telling parlor. Now that he has run away, of course the fortune-telling parlor will compensate me. What's the matter with you?"
Ma: "..."
If she were an ordinary person in front of her, she would still dare to behave like a fool.
But the problem is that she knows the other party's methods and has even seen them with her own eyes more than once, so she really doesn't dare to play tricks on him.
"There are still my things upstairs..."
"Where are your things?" Qin Yao retorted: "In my memory, when you married Jiang Ziya, you didn't bring any dowry, right?"
Ma: "..."
"Get out of here, don't obstruct my eyes here." Qin Yao waved his hand impatiently.
Ma had no choice but to take the divorce letter and leave in despair.
Her greatest resistance was just to secretly curse someone who could subdue the other person when she was leaving, and treat them as harboring a crime and send them to prison.
Half an hour later.
Tai Bing, who had gone out to play, came back. Looking at the empty hall, he asked Qin Yao who was sitting behind the hexagram table: "Uncle, why is the hall so deserted today?"
"Uncle Jiang ran away after the incident. After the news came out, no one dared to visit again." Qin Yao explained simply.
Tai Bing: “……”
It’s a bit sudden!
"Aren't we... going to leave?" Shao Qing and Tai Bing asked softly.
Qin Yao smiled slightly: "It's not us who committed any crime, why should we go?"
"But..." Tai Bing didn't understand very well and said blankly: "We are his fellow disciples. Logically speaking, we should be implicated, right?"
"meeting!"
At this time, Xuanyuan Lan, dressed in fine clothes, came with a cane and looked at Qin Yao: "Master Shen, the king has summoned you."
Qin Yao stood up slowly. When he passed by Tai Bing, he put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Let's go to the palace with our uncle."
Not long after.
Xuanyuan Lan walked along the long street with the uncle and nephew, and sent a message to Qin Yao alone: "Why don't you leave?"
"Finish the matter in Lutai before leaving." Qin Yao responded.
Xuanyuan Lan had a strange look on his face: "Why?"
"There is a beginning and an end." Qin Yao was too lazy to explain too much and responded perfunctorily.
Xuanyuan Lan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other person with a sense of trust in his eyes.
Whether they are humans or demons, most of them can have very flexible moral characters, but they hope that their allies will have good moral standards.
Generally speaking, the higher the moral level of an ally, the more trust there will be and the more enjoyable it will be to get along with them.
Judging from Shen Gongbao's willingness to end things in Lutai, his moral level is not low.
In the blink of an eye, the three demons arrived at the palace and strode into the palace under the gaze of the solemn and solemn guards in front of the palace.
"Meet the king." Xuanyuan Lan saluted.
"The Imperial Master is flat." Emperor Xin was dressed in formal attire, sitting on a high platform, looking down at Qin Yao below and said: "I heard that it was you who used the law to arrest the generals in the palace?"
Qin Yao said calmly: "Yes."
"Then why don't you leave? Could it be that you have your own magical powers and think that the lonely king can't do anything to you?" Di Xin said coldly and solemnly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Yao shook his head: "No, I stayed here for the common people of Chaoge. If I leave and you insist on building Lutai, then I don't know how many Yin Shang people will become
Consumables.”
"Pah, pah, pah."
Di Xin clapped and cheered: "What a Taoist Quanzhen who cares about all the people. The lonely king would like to know how you plan to solve this matter?"
Qin Yao said: "Please give me the task of building Lutai, your Majesty."
Di Xin said in surprise: "Leave it to you? What's the difference between what you do and what others do?"
Qin Yao smiled slightly: "The common people can build their own palaces without recruiting civilian husbands or any financial support?"
Emperor Xin was stunned, and immediately said: "Don't be that kind of illusion created by magic power. It looks like a palace, but it is actually a wasteland."
"Absolutely not." Qin Yao said: "As long as the king clearly issues the royal decree and gives the people the power to mobilize the gods from all over the world, will the people be able to do this?"
Di Xin's brain shut down for a moment, and his face was full of astonishment: "Can the will of the lonely king also mobilize the gods from all over the world?"
Qin Yao cupped his hands: "This is the human world, and you are the human king. The supreme ruler of the human world is - the human king."
He knew better than Di Xin the power of his name and righteousness. This power made it impossible for the saints to directly destroy the Yin Shang Dynasty, and could only send three demons to harm the Yin Shang community.
After King Zhou, even if the king was weakened a thousand times and transformed from a human king to an emperor, he could still grant gods to heroes.
For example, in Chinese history, starting from the Song Dynasty, kings were keen on conferring gods on famous people and generals. Huizong, Gaozong, and Xiaozong all conferred the title on Guan Yu.
After the Song Dynasty, Yuan Wenzong and Ming Shenzong successively added titles to Guan Yu's status, which directly raised Guan Yu's divine status to the level of the great emperor who conquered demons in the three realms, so powerful that it shocked Tian Zun Guan Sheng Emperor.
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was not to be outdone in this regard, and he frantically conferred titles on Er Ye Guan. After being conferred the title by many emperors, Er Ye Guan became the Guan Sheng Emperor, and he was also a well-known figure in the divine world.
In addition to Guan Yu, figures such as Mazu and Zhu Rong were also constantly granted titles by the emperor and raised their status...
It can be said that in this world, no one understands the value of the word "King of Humans" better than him!
