After the court meeting, Zhong Tingzhi returned to the Miaohao Taoist Palace. Taoist Cen had been waiting here for a long time. He stood with his sleeves folded and said, "Brother Zhong Dao is back. I wonder how the court meeting goes?"
Zhong Daoren walked in and said: "The court has agreed to increase the number of states and expand the capital. We are still discussing which capitals to expand. When this matter is finalized, I will find a place for the Taoist friend to be the Xuanshou.
."
As he said that, he made an invitation gesture. Taoist Cen nodded and went to sit down with him in the inner hall. Immediately, a Taoist boy came over and brought tea.
Zhong Daoren said: "Brother Cen Dao was once a court official. It is not difficult to become a Xuanshou. Whether he can make enough achievements in this position depends on Brother Dao himself."
Cen Daoren said: "Then Cen needs to go to a place where he can make contributions. I have been away from Tianxia for a long time and I don't know the situation. Brother Zhong Dao, can you give me some advice?"
Zhong Daoren stretched out his hand and pointed, and a map of Tianxia suddenly appeared in front of him. On it were not only the current Thirteen Shangzhous, but also the remaining hundreds of protective palaces.
He said: "Previously, Zhong Mou has already thought about the proposal of increasing the province and expanding the government. Zhong thinks that if the city is expanded, these Protectorate's Mansion should be among them."
As he spoke, more than ten Protectorate Palaces flickered on the light curtain, roughly distributed in all directions. He continued: "But if you want to make a difference, these two places are the most important."
Hopefully.”
He then nodded at two of the Protectorate's Mansions, "Zhong thought it would be best for Taoist friends to go to these two places." He paused, "But now everything is undecided, and each court has different opinions.
, these two places may not necessarily be able to be promoted to a continent."
Taoist Cen glanced at it and said, "Cen has taken note of it." He slapped his head, "As for the matter of coming down, I'll leave it to Brother Zhong Dao."
Zhong Daoren also bowed while sitting.
As soon as Taoist Cen's figure disappeared, it dispersed like light and shadow, leaving only a jade bead in its place. However, this bead also turned into a pile of debris. This time, it was just his shadow.
After Taoist Feng left the court meeting, he did not immediately return to Taoist Palace. Instead, he communicated with Taoist Gao first, and then went directly to Shouzheng Palace to meet Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was practicing in the dojo at the moment, but because the dojo and Shouzheng Palace were not isolated, and were connected to each other relying on the power of Qingqiong Yuanmai, so after he received his reward, he returned to Shouzheng Palace and invited Feng Taoist
Come in. Come in.
Mr. Feng Taoist met with him and sat down in the palace. When he came down, he explained the matter discussed by the court. Then he said: "Zhong Weiwu's move is obviously because the previous plan failed, and he is afraid that my Xuanhun Dao will become powerful as a result."
, so I want to use this to suppress our generation."
Unlike Zhong Daoren, his focus is not on which Protectorate Houses will be promoted to continents, but who will take up the position of Xuanshou after this event.
As a Xuan cultivator, he could see clearly that Zhong Weiwu wanted to counter the fact that the monks of the Xuanhu Dao now occupied more positions, so he came up with the idea of increasing the continent and expanding the mansion, so that more of the original cultivators could be
Xuanzun was placed in various important positions.
And after waiting for a few decades, if these people accumulate merit or make special achievements, they will become powerful candidates to compete for the leadership of Xuan Ting.
However, he did not object at that time, because what Zhong Weiwu said at that time did make some sense. Moreover, the monks headed by Chen Tingzhi did not object, because the latter believed that it was impossible for all positions to be assigned to true practitioners.
There will definitely be Hunzhang monks arranged.
The only one who is at a disadvantage here is probably Xuan Xiu. Even counting the four of them, only Shi Cheng can be pushed out. But the problem is that this person has no enterprising spirit in the past, and now he is fully focused on deducing and perfecting the exercises.
Above all, it is obviously impossible for him to come out and compete for fame.
Fortunately, there is another suitable person here.
He looked at Zhang Yu and said sincerely: "Zhang Daoyou, more than others, we hope that you can stand up and serve as the Xuanshou of a capital. Don't look at Daoist fellow Taoist being upright now, but only by your achievements in controlling Zhoufu, in the future
Only then can it be possible to sit on the throne of the imperial court. Now that we have this opportunity, why not give it a try?"
Zhang Yu thought briefly, and then said: "Feng Daoist friend's words will be considered by Yu Hui."
Feng Taoist nodded. He came here today just for this matter. Since he had already said it, he didn't say anything more and stood up to leave immediately.
Zhang Yu stood up and saw him off. After sending him away and returning to the palace, he also began to think deeply.
His uprightness is always maintained, and Xuanting has no recourse. This means that he can still serve as the leader of a party. Of course, there will be resistance in this.
However, if he wants to fulfill his own Taoism, in addition to providing his own cultivation merits, he must also pursue a higher status.
Although Xuanting could not take away his position, he could not interfere with Xuanting's decisions. If he wanted to have the right to speak in Xuanting, he could only become the emperor.
So if there is an opportunity, I still have to fight for it.
He walked forward, flicked his sleeves, and the map of Tianxia's inner and outer continents appeared in front of him.
His eyes moved and landed on the Dongting Protectorate.
He believed that if we were to upgrade the Protectorate's Palace to a capital state, then the Dongting Protectorate's Palace would be a suitable choice.
Not because he was born here, but because this place is different from other places. It is located at the easternmost end of the entire Tianxia territory, and it also vaguely controls an unexplored land. It is of great significance, and the population of Dongting is different from the rest.
In comparison, the Duhufu can at least be included in the top ten.
Moreover, there are many secrets hidden behind this land. Even out of consideration of one's own duty to maintain integrity, it is very necessary to take this opportunity to upgrade this place to a Fuzhou and put a Xuan Zun or an incarnation of Xuan Zun to guard it.
Ten days later, Yujing, Qiongyuetai.
After Yang Ying got up in the morning, she washed and showered, put on a dark blue straight military uniform, and then walked to the window sill.
Nearly ten years have passed, and now she is a young woman in her twenties, with a dashing appearance, delicate and beautiful appearance. She is now in the most beautiful period of a woman's life.
Because of her Tianxia bloodline, her long-term adherence to Tianxia etiquette and the simple breathing techniques taught to her by Zhang Yu, this beautiful period is likely to continue for thirty or even forty years.
She looked outside the window sill. Under the blue sky, in the distance stood a large flat-topped platform that seemed to be as high as the sky. It stood tall and majestic.
Above the stage, you can see the cornices and raised corners, like jade palaces and towers piled high. The front of the majestic palace wall welcomes the first ray of sunlight in the morning and reflects a brilliant golden light outward.
That was the original Shangtai, the main hub of Jade Capital, and the seat of the imperial palace where the great regents handled government affairs.
Looking from a distance, the rainbow clouds are passing over the platform, and the sky is low and the clouds are low, showing the majestic and majestic atmosphere, which makes people feel humble and insignificant.
There was a knock on the door, and a female voice said: "Weiwei, are you ready?"
Yang Ying turned around and said, "Come in."
As soon as the door opened, a woman wearing glasses, full of bookishness, wearing an underskirt, and holding a jade plate in her hand walked in, and next to her there was a smaller figure wearing a mysterious monk's robe, who looked very...
A quiet and beautiful girl.
Behind the two of them, followed a tall, burly female guard wearing a divine robe.
The woman came over, bowed to her, and said: "Weiwei, we are all ready, can we set off?"
Yang Ying turned her eyes, and the female guard immediately handed her the military cap. She took it and held it in her arms, saying: "Let's go."
Everyone got out of the way.
Yang Ying strolled out of the door and walked along the corridor. The woman and the girl in robes immediately followed her. The guards in robes on both sides of the corridor joined the queue immediately after she passed by.
After the group of people walked out of the arched doorway of their residence, they saw a gorgeous flying boat that was all silver and seemed to be flowing with dazzling light. It had already been parked there.
As they approached, a row of hatches opened on the boat.
Su Qian walked into the boat and walked along the cabin passage into the main cabin. After sitting down, she said to the quiet girl wearing a mysterious monk's robe: "Sister Jiayue, let's visit Su first today.
"Old, he is Captain Su's father. He once served as the head of the Heavenly War Department. Although he has retired now, he has a very good personal relationship with a certain Chief Photographer. He may be able to say a few words about the affairs of the Protectorate."
She had learned the news the day before yesterday that Xuan Ting decided to increase revenue and expand the mansion. She knew that once the Dongting Protectorate became a state, it would receive full promotion and support from Xuan Ting and the Yujing Palace. The advantage was that
measurable.
As a Dongting person, she also hopes to contribute to her hometown, and she doesn't think Dongting is inferior to other places.
Jia Yue listened quietly. She was transferred from the outside ten days ago to protect Yang Ying's safety. She was also responsible for conveying all aspects of communication through the Heaven Training Dao Seal. In fact, the latter was the main thing she had to do here.
Therefore, she only regards herself as a messenger and will not express any random opinions.
At this moment, on a high white jade platform opposite the Qiong Yue Platform, through the glass wall, two young men were looking at the silver flying boat below.
One of them, a handsome man in his twenties and wearing a t-shirt, said, "Is the one who just passed by Yang Ying?"
Standing next to him was a young man of similar age but slightly thinner. He said, "Brother Wei, that's her."
He thought for a while and said: "The Dongting Protectorate has great hopes of ascending to the continent this time, at least greater than our hopes. I hope Brother Wei can help us this time."
The man surnamed Wei said: "Although my grandfather was promoted to the imperial court early that year, he also spent a lot of effort when he took office in the Longya Protectorate. It can be said that the Longya Protectorate was founded by him. Brother Shi
Don’t worry, I will try my best to help you.”
He watched the flying boat slowly take off and fly towards the southeast, with an expected look on his face, and said: "Yang Ying is just going to visit Mr. Su this time. Mr. Su did have great influence in the army in the past.
He has influence, but after he retired in the past few years, he has used less and less of his favors, and may not necessarily go out of his way to help."
The man surnamed Shi was a little uneasy, "But, just in case..."
The man surnamed Wei smiled faintly, watching the flying boat gradually disappearing in the light of Qingchen, and said confidently: "I, Mr. Wei, never do anything unforeseen."
