Chapter 171: There is a messenger from outside the sky
After solving the problem of protecting the place of refuge, Zhang Yu has been practicing in the palace these days.
During this period, he exchanged a lot of mysterious food for some precious materials, and then prepared to sacrifice and refine the real magical weapon.
As for the sacred tree, to restore it, we still need to move it out of the boundary and choose a good place to plant it. At present, it is not suitable anywhere, and there is too much movement, so this matter can only be postponed.
As the only shouzheng at present, the results of the court meeting were also reported to him by a duty officer. Only then did he know that Xuanting had added two more shouzhengs.
Shortly thereafter, Feng Daoren also informed him of the specific situation at the court meeting through the Xuntian Daozhang.
He was not surprised to hear that it was Zhong Tingzhi who proposed this matter. The intention here was also very clear. He must have wanted to share his credit by adding Shu Zheng.
Shouzheng did not have any affiliation with him, and he could not command the two of them. However, after becoming Shouzheng, their identities were equal to his, but in terms of potential status, they were not comparable to him.
Because he came up step by step from the bottom, every step he took was very clear, and he also accumulated enough credit, it will be much easier to transfer credit in the future.
Even if he competes for the throne at a further distance, it will be easier for him to get the position than others.
Although Mei Shang and Zhu Feng are upright, they have little chance of going up. Moreover, they may be ordered to step down and retreat when the war stops, unless their merits can be high again.
On the first floor, there is still some hope.
But although Zhong Tingzhi may have hidden little thoughts, he actually welcomed the matter.
Tianxia has many enemies inside and outside, and he cannot handle everything by himself. Now that Shangchentian is about to invade again, it would be good for someone to share the pressure for him.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a bright light flashing under the steps. Taoist priest Ming Zhou appeared there, slapped him with a bow, and handed him an edict, saying: "Be upright and polite, Ming Zhou was ordered to take this person."
The second merit will be given to you."
As soon as Zhang Yu's eyes fell, he took the imperial edict out of thin air, opened it, and saw that it said that this time the Ypar Protoss was wiped out, and he had contributed three hundred bells of xuanliang.
But he understands that in fact, the less Xuan Liang is given, the more Xu Gong is placed on the Xuan Shou, so now it is considered a compromise.
When Ming Zhou Taoist saw that he had read the imperial edict, he said again: "Shou Zheng, the Golden Palace of Yishen and the boundary gap are both in the East Courtyard. Xuan Ting ordered Zhang Shouzheng to deal with it by himself. There will be an official document sent later."
Go to the East Courtyard."
Zhang Yu nodded. This actually means that the Golden Palace still belongs to Xuanting, but the governance power falls in the East Courtyard. Although Xuanting can take it back at any time in name, as long as there are no changes within the East Courtyard, it will not do this.
.
After Taoist Master Ming Zhou said goodbye, a man of the gods came to report: "Shou Zheng, Zhu Xuanzun has arrived outside Shouzheng Palace, please tell me to report to Shouzheng."
Zhang Yu stood up from his seat, walked out, and saw Zhu Feng outside the palace. After the ceremony, he said: "Shou Zheng Palace is a place where Shou Zheng is on duty, but Daoist friend Zhu is here, but there is no need to inform me.
"
Zhu Feng chuckled lightly and said: "Most things happen first and later. How can someone who comes after Zhu Feng be ignorant of etiquette? Besides, Zhang Shouzheng has experienced extraordinary achievements many times, and Zhu Feng cannot match them. This is a respectful gesture."
I am not only honored by Zhang Shouzheng, but also by my Taoist friends for their many achievements in the past for me, Tianxia."
The two divine men standing aside listened to her words and couldn't help but admire her. One of them said to his companions: "Hey, this new Shouzheng is really good at talking. It turns out that Xuanzun also knows how to speak nicely."
Another duty officer said disdainfully: "That's natural, otherwise why would you be just a janitor?"
The god-man before was unconvinced and said: "Doing things for Xuan Zunshou, isn't it high or low? Don't look down on people! I'm not good at words, but I always do things neatly. I might be called to do something by some Shouzheng at any time."
Another duty officer joked: "Then I'll wait and see."
Zhang Yu had already invited Zhu Feng to the main hall at this time, and briefly explained the general situation of the main palace, but there was no need for him to talk about other trivial matters.
However, not long after Zhu Feng arrived, Mei Shang also came to visit, so he invited this man in together. After a conversation, he found that this man was careful in his words and seemed to be a very cautious person.
Only then did he realize that these two people were now in the state of "observation".
The so-called observation means that although you have a formal title, you only hold limited authority while holding a certain position.
For example, Shou Zhengben has the authority to read and read the records of all Xuanting monks, but neither of them is allowed to read them unless the person has clearly acted rebelliously.
As for when to take this "observation and holding", the edict promulgated did not say clearly. Perhaps it is possible that it has not been taken away.
Xuan Ting said he didn't care about their past, but in fact he was always on guard.
The two of them also knew what this meant. Mei Shang had an unclear idea, but Zhu Feng didn't care. She knew that if she didn't go to guard one side and wanted to get Xuan Liang, then doing so would be the most convenient way. She didn't think about it.
Go read those records, it will easily arouse people's taboo.
The two of them sat for a while, and then each chose a place to stay in Shouzheng Palace. Zhu Feng couldn't bear to stay here, so he returned to his home dojo.
Mei Shang also said goodbye and came out. After coming out, he went directly to the outside of Miaohao Taoist Palace and was quickly invited in. When he got inside, Zhong Weiwu invited him to sit down and said, "Mei Taoist friend just met Zhang Shouzheng."
Already?"
Mei Shang said: "I've seen it before."
Zhong Weiwu asked: "What do fellow Taoists think of this person?"
Mei Shang thought for a while and said solemnly: "Zhong Tingzhi attaches great importance to this position. If I don't talk about the rest, I can't understand his merits. It's no wonder that he can be on a par with my senior brother."
Zhong Weiwu said in a deep voice: "As a fellow Taoist, the biggest advantage is that you can patrol everywhere. You need to accumulate merit as much as possible in the recent days. If you have enough merit, I may also try to remove the 'Avalokitesvara' from your body."
, when it comes time to go to Chentian and fight, fellow Taoist must seize the opportunity and do not conflict with that person during this period."
Mei Shang nodded and said, "Is it true that Shangchentian is coming to attack?"
Zhong Weiwu said: "This is inevitable. Now..." At this time, he paused and saw a golden talisman flying over. He took it and looked at it. He looked solemn and turned around and said: "Xuan Ting summoned me.
I went to discuss matters. I think there is something important and I need to rush there, so I won’t greet fellow Taoists."
The plum merchant quickly stood up and bowed, saying: "Zhong Tingzhi has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so there is no need to delay here with Mei."
At the same time, Zhang Yu was seeing the two of them off, and he was also practicing. At this time, he suddenly felt something and took a look, but it was Jin Zhixing who had not been heard from for a long time. He called out the Xuntian Daozhang.
, unfolded a light curtain, and saw Jin Zhixing giving him a slap in the face, and said slightly excitedly: "Meet Zhang Shouzheng."
Zhang Yu nodded in return, looked behind him, but saw nothing, and said, "Fellow Taoist Jin, are you safe there?"
Jin Zhixing said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm on my way to a certain small sect from Shangchentian, so I won't be discovered by anyone here."
He paused for a moment and then said: "Recently, I have been teaching the Hun Zhang method to a group of disciples in my lower body. I didn't find anything at all, so I didn't dare to take any action. This time I informed Shou Zheng, but I found out something.
Important matter, Heaven will send an envoy to visit Tianxia in the near future."
Zhang Yudao: "Oh? What is this?"
Jin Zhixing said: "Jin doesn't know yet, but I tried to inquire from Hun Kong. It is most likely that a certain faction in Shangchen Tian wants to try to resolve the dispute between the two families with Tianxia."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, this should be what he said last time that Shang Chentian intended to negotiate peace with Tian Xia, but he did not think that the two sides would really make peace unless Tian Xia could make a substantial concession.
Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible. As a strong and dominant party, Tianxia can crush his opponents even if he does nothing, so why compromise? Unless Shang Chentian has something that makes Tianxia afraid.
s method.
He thought for a moment and asked, "When will the messenger arrive?"
Jin Zhixing said: "When I learned about this, the envoy must have arrived in Tianxia, but I also found out about this person's history."
While they were talking here, Zhu Tingzhi once again came to the clear sky and sea of clouds.
The first Taoist stood at the top of the Guangqi River and said: "Bai Qian went to Chentian to send a letter to Jin to discuss coexistence with me. After I replied to the letter, there has been no news from Tianxia, but now he has sent an envoy.
I am here with the letter and want to reopen this matter."
Taoist Yu Su sneered: "This generation actually has the honor to come here."
Apart from him, there was also a court official sitting in the seat with the same cold expression.
More than a hundred years ago, due to Tianxia's promotion of mystical methods, Hunzhang Xuanzun appeared one after another. At that time, Shang Chentian sensed something was wrong, so he intended to have a discussion with Tianxia.
Since the two sides had been fighting for more than two hundred years at that time and could not stop at once, the matter was delayed for more than ten years before the two sides exchanged golden books.
But when the two sides were preparing for formal talks, the turbulent tide arrived, and the inner layer of Thirteen Shangzhou was instantly isolated and became an island. Only the outer layer and the lower layer were still connected by a thread, and not long after, there was Youcheng again.
The incident of running away caused Tianxia to feel unprecedented emptiness.
When Shang Chentian saw the opportunity, he immediately stopped mentioning the matter and took the opportunity to contact Youcheng and Evil God to attack. At that time, Tianxia was in trouble internally and externally, and almost all the upper-level officials of Xuanting, including all the officials of the court, dispatched to fight, not even the inner continents.
How could I care?
But even in the face of such a critical situation, Tianxia still stood up and repelled the incoming enemies, but there was no way to talk about it after that.
But now Shang Chentian mentioned this matter again and sent an envoy here with a letter. No wonder Taoist Yu Su said that he was shameless.
Chen Tingzhi said: "I, Tianxia, have my own etiquette. Since this person comes here with a book, let's meet him and see what he means."
Zhong Tingzhi made a calculation and said: "Chief Executive, the secret of this matter is still unknown. Why don't we let someone get in touch with it first, and let us know what this person's intention is."
This opinion is more appropriate, and all the officials in the court agree with it.
Dai Tingzhi said at this time: "But I don't know who should be sent to do this?"
