Chapter 556: Judge Wei: No one knows how to deal with His Majesty better than me
And just when Cui Pan was about to get up and set off, a person who had never spoken a word from the beginning to the end stood up. The atmosphere in the seemingly harmonious scene suddenly became tense again.
The person who got up was no one else, but Wei Zheng, one of the three great judges of the underworld, who was in charge of the Good Rewards Department.
He had not spoken before. Everyone knew that he had a stubborn temper, so they did not take the initiative to ask for his opinion. He also sat on the sidelines and watched without expressing his own opinions. Now that a result has been negotiated, I originally thought that he would acquiesce. ...I didn’t expect that there would be another twists and turns.
But we can't escape what we have to face. The Tenth Palace Yama, Cui Pan, and Zhong Pan all looked at Wei Pan, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Wei Zheng first bowed to the Tenth Palace Yama and the other two great judges, and then said: "Pudge Cui will go to heaven to report to Emperor Ziwei. I will go to find your majesty myself."
this...
Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Is this still Wei Zheng's temperament?
Seeing that everyone was surprised, Wei Zheng shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I know your Majesty's temper best... You can't be persuaded, and you can arrest him by force. We, the underworld, don't seem to have the strength... Because to find Emperor Ziwei made the wisest choice by revealing the truth."
"But... the underworld can't do nothing." Wei Zheng pointed to himself, "Your Majesty and I have a good relationship with each other. When I was alive, I dared to speak out and advise him face to face. Now that I am dead, I don't dare to see him. Is he dead?"
Cui Pan thought for a while and said to Wei Zheng: "Brother Wei... These days are different from the past. If you meet His Majesty, try to be more tactful in your words..."
"Don't worry." Wei Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "No one knows how to deal with His Majesty better than me."
Wei Zheng is naturally very clear about His Majesty's temperament. It is precisely because of this that he knows that persuasion is impossible. His trip will probably be in vain... But it is His Majesty's business to listen or not. , and whether to persuade or not is your own business.
That is to say, Wei Zheng died a little early. If he had lived for more than ten years, when Zeng Zi came to Datang to teach "Haoran Righteousness", there might be another opportunity... I just don't know if Li Shimin could bear it.
Wei Zheng also once doubted what kind of state of mind His Majesty had when he heard the news of his death...
What Wei Zheng didn't know was that in this world, the relationship between the two of them was closer... After all, Li Shimin did not smash Wei Zheng's tombstone after his death. Come.
The Ten Palaces of Hell and the two great judges were relieved to see that Wei Zheng did not reject their plan, but wanted to take this opportunity to meet with Li Shimin... They were also a little relieved.
But Cui Fan's words are also what worries them.
After all, when he was alive, Wei Zheng often made Li Shimin angry... Now the two sides are separated by yin and yang, and their positions are opposite... If there is a conflict between the two, we don't know how it will end.
But now I can only trust Wei Zheng and believe that he will be measured.
Wei Zheng and Cui Jue left the underworld together. One was looking for Li Shimin in the human world, and the other went to heaven to find Emperor Ziwei. The remaining ten halls of Yama were also busy. The first five halls went to Fengdu to pay homage to Emperor Fengdu, and the last five halls went to Fengdu to pay homage to Emperor Fengdu. Meeting the leader of the Netherworld in Yinshan... Zhong Kui is the only one left in the Yin Division to take charge of daily affairs.
Zhong Kui thought they were taking the opportunity to be lazy, but he had no evidence.
Heaven.
Unless they have no choice but to do so, ghosts like Cui Pan would really not want to come to heaven.
Firstly, the body of ghosts and immortals is not adapted to the aura of heaven, and secondly, the Yin God is born lower than the Heavenly God.
In the entire Yin Division, except for Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the leader of the Netherworld, there seem to be only a few great judges and Yama of the Ten Palaces. In fact, in terms of rank alone, they are equivalent to the Dragon King of the Four Seas. They are placed in the heaven.
Zhongye is only a fifth-grade priest.
On the same level as them are the Five Dragon Gods and the Five Water Gods, as well as the Five Sacred Emperors who reside in the human world.
These people may not seem to be of high rank, but in fact, they are all feudal officials who hold power... In their own territory, they are all people who stick to their word. Compared with the officials of the same level who serve in heaven,
I don’t know how comfortable I am.
It is precisely because of this that they rarely go to heaven, and they really don't want to come when they have time.
Generally speaking, the powerful gods stationed in the lower realm are not of high level.
But in today's Three Realms, there is still an exception. Erlang Zhenjun, who was originally stationed at Guanjiangkou, was a third-level god, but now the Jade Emperor has "promoted" him to the position of a first-level judicial god in the Three Realms. It is said that he will go to heaven to perform his duties.
Yes...but now even the Jade Emperor doesn't care about him. It's not him who has the final say where he wants to work?
Moreover, the Temple of the True King is indeed located in the Heavenly Palace...the Lower Realm is just a branch hall.
Yama of the Tenth Palace is the chief officer of the fifth rank, and the great judge Cui Pan is the assistant officer of the fifth rank... In the heaven of Nuo Da, he is indeed not a big figure.
Li Shimin's matter is neither big nor small... After Cui Pan met Emperor Ziwei and revealed the truth, Emperor Ziwei said: "Although he is my incarnation, I have already
Let him be free... If you say that you will not enter the underworld when your yang life span is over, you will be violating the laws of yin and heaven."
"Since it is a violation of heaven's rules, you might as well go to the God of Justice for help." Emperor Ziwei gave Cui Pang an idea, "There are no masters in the Underworld who can capture Li Shimin's soul back to the underworld...but there are many masters in the Temple of the True Lord.
Presumably this is not a difficult problem for them."
Judge Cui:...
I'm so stupid, I shouldn't have come. Listen for yourself... Is this a sincere idea?
As for what Emperor Ziwei said, do they, the Ten Palaces of Yama and the Three Great Judges, really not know?
But why didn’t anyone mention the involvement of the True Lord Temple?
Don't you just want to let this matter go away with dignity?
But once the True King Temple intervenes... it will not be their turn to make the decision. Once the initiative is given away, what will happen in the future and whether it will have a negative impact on the underworld is completely out of their control.
.
Perhaps seeing what Cui Pan was thinking, Emperor Ziwei smiled and said, "You should have some confidence in True Lord Erlang."
Cui Pan was stunned again when he heard this. Is this what His Majesty is hinting at?
While Cui Pan was still thinking, the Antarctic God of War entered the palace from outside and reported, "Your Majesty, True Lord Erlang is here."
Emperor Ziwei, who was at the head, raised his sleeves and said, "Please come in."
Judge Cui:???
"Before you came, I had already sent someone to invite True Lord Erlang to heaven." Emperor Ziwei gave him a rare explanation, which made Cui Panhao feel frightened for a while, and then he bowed to Emperor Ziwei repeatedly to accuse him.
"After all, this matter involves my incarnation, so I have to make it clear to Judiciary Tiansheng in person, otherwise the laws of heaven will be confused... and it will not be a good thing for the entire three realms."
"Yang Jian has met His Majesty."
"There is no need to be polite, true king." Emperor Ziwei smiled and waved his hands, then ordered to the left and right: "Come, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cui Pan naturally did not have this kind of treatment, and he would never dare to ask for it. Before the courtiers settled their seats, he took the time to pay tribute to the true monarch Erlang: "The little god has met the true monarch."
In fact, those who have received the title of Zhengshen are generally called Tianzun. Even though Erlang Shen has now received the position of Judiciary God, people are still more accustomed to calling him Zhenjun.
"Pan Cui."
Erlang Zhenjun smiled and returned the gift. He would not look down on Cui Pan because of his low priesthood.
On the contrary, he always maintained respect and respect for such dedicated gods as Cui Pan.
Erlang Zhenjun also made Cui Pan feel warmer. After all, he had never dealt with Erlang Zhenjun before, but he had heard a lot of rumors about Erlang Zhenjun... Subconsciously, he felt that this person was difficult to get along with.
, and besides, he is in a high position, and even a little god like me has no chance to see him.
But after today's review, I felt that Erlang Zhenjun was not as cold as the rumors and appearance. At this moment, he was not wearing a divine robe, but was dressed in white, with a folding fan in his hand. His smile was very soft, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Not so nervous anymore.
Also seeing that Lord Erlang had a gentle attitude toward Cui Pan, the superior Emperor Ziwei ordered him again: "Please take Cui Pan's seat as well."
oops!
Cui Pan quickly thanked him. This time he really benefited from the honor of True Monarch Erlang. He could actually have a seat in front of Emperor Ziwei... If he returned to the Underworld and Yin Division, he would call the Ten Palaces Yama and Wei and Zhong.
If the judge knows about it, why should he be envious?
Emperor Ziwei did not have much dealings with Yang Jian, but this did not prevent him from understanding Yang Jian. After all, when the Jade Emperor dealt with Yang Jian, he also borrowed all the five war gods from him.
He heard a lot about Yang Jian from the Five Extremes God of War.
There was nothing stingy about the words of praise... There were very few people in the Three Realms who could admire these five brothers, and Yang Jian was obviously the one they admired the most.
Even without his private instructions, the five brothers naturally started to disobey the Jade Emperor's will.
It was also learned from the Five Extremes God of War that Yang Jian actually had two faces in ordinary times. When facing the enemy, he was decisive and cold and ruthless; but when facing his friends, his smile seemed to melt the ice.
This time it was obvious that he was not just being polite with Cui Fan here, but he truly believed that Cui Fan was a person he could get along with.
Otherwise, given Yang Jian's character, let alone watching with cold eyes... whenever Cui Cui had committed any crime, or was an incompetent evil spirit, he would dare to arrest Cui in front of him.
When Yang Jian makes friends, he never looks at the other person's cultivation level or clergy level... After all, in the Three Realms, there are really only a handful of people who can surpass him in these two things.
Not to mention among his peers, there may be some whose cultivation is comparable to his own, but above this priesthood... there is no other first-grade righteous god.
Today's opportunity was an unexpected blessing for Cui Pan. Being able to be valued by Zhenjun Erlang was something he never expected... But he did not lose his mind because of this. He always remembered his mission here.
.
After Emperor Ziwei and Zhenjun Erlang exchanged a few words, they quickly got to the point, "I believe you already know the reason why I invite you to heaven."
"Brother Nanji has already told Yang Jian." Yang Jian nodded, and then looked at Cui Pan, "It seems that Cui Pan went to heaven for Li Shimin's sake."
"To be honest with you, Zhenjun, that's exactly what happened." Cui Pan quickly complained to Yang Jian, and briefly repeated what he had just told Emperor Ziwei to Zhenjun Erlang, "So after discussion, the little god came to Ziwei
In Wei Palace, Judge Wei is looking for Emperor Li Tang in the human world. If we count the time, we should find him."
Emperor Ziwei waved his hand, and he saw starlight shining into the palace, spreading into a screen...which was the scene of the lower world.
At this moment, Li Shimin was in a countryside, teaching a group of gangsters a lesson... There was a seemingly weak scholar next to him. He did not stop the fight, but instead brought back those who wanted to escape one by one.
There were not many people there, less than ten people in total.
This kind of scene is supposed to be normal, but when Li Shimin scolded them for "relying on someone's power to bring trouble to the countryside," one of them said: "relying on my tendons."
Ouch!
Then came another good beating.
"Looks like I have to send you to the government!"
"Hmph, the government..." The man's face was full of disdain, and he didn't even bother to look at Li Shimin again.
As if aware that he had a lot of resentment towards the government, Li Shimin felt a little weird in his heart and asked: "Let me ask you, now that you are the ambassador of Mangzhong, why are you not working in the fields, but doing so idle?
, Not doing your job properly?"
The man didn't say anything, but someone next to him said, "You need land to plant it."
"Huh?" Li Shimin immediately grasped the key point of his words, but he still asked one more question: "You don't look like refugees, so why don't you have land to farm?"
"I will have no land when I am born." Not everyone was arrogant. Some of them were naturally convinced after being beaten. They answered honestly whatever Li Shimin asked, and even added: "On weekdays, I just rely on
Work some part-time jobs to survive.”
"How can you develop such a physique just by working part-time jobs?" Li Shimin obviously didn't believe it.
"Occasionally, I work as a knife hunter. If I'm lucky, I can earn a large bounty from the government."
In fact, the martial arts of this group of people are indeed outstanding in the world. Some ordinary criminal thieves may not be their opponents... This is not a lie.
"You say you have been landless since you were born, but what's the reason?"
"What he said is wrong." The man who was pushed to the ground by Li Shimin finally spoke, "Originally, we had land, but because our family members were in the army, all our uncles and fathers died in the war... We were young at the time,
My mother wanted to take care of us, and she couldn’t grow crops even if she had land, so the clan took the land back first, saying that the clan arranged for people to help with the planting..."
When Li Shimin heard this, he probably guessed how things would develop.
But in the middle of speaking, the boy suddenly stopped and asked Li Shimin: "Why are you asking about this? Who are you?"
It was also Li Shimin's extraordinary temperament, superb martial arts skills, and the fact that he cared about these things... which inevitably made him think a little more.
