Li Shimin and the ministers didn't understand.
Su Chen can't even handle Zao Lord, how can they do it?!
Yuan Tiangang actually felt the same way, but since Su Chen gave the order, it must make sense.
He then said: "It's what Master ordered, so it will definitely not go wrong."
Then he explained all the plans Su Chen mentioned.
"Master said that on the seventh day of the next month, choose the auspicious time of the zodiac, burn the old statue of the God of Stove, shape a new statue of God of the Stove, and then smear honey on the mouth of the new statue, and he will cast a spell to make the Stove Lord
Your Majesty and Heaven say good things."
Once everyone heard that Su Chen could cast spells, they all believed 100%.
Yuan Tiangang said again: "Master also ordered your majesty to legislate and set up a festival for the Lord Kitchen to report his duties to heaven. The people are all happy, and let heaven see the joy of our world, so Lord Kitchen can't say anything bad.
."
Li Shimin was stunned, what is the truth of this?!
It was obvious that the Kitchen God wanted to speak ill of them, but they still went to worship the Kitchen God. This was too cheap for the Kitchen God!
There was something he couldn't accept in his heart.
Many famous officials could not accept this decision, but they were the smartest people in the Tang Dynasty, and they understood the purpose of Su Chen's decision in an instant.
Especially some ordinary officials, they understand better how brilliant Su Chen's decision is.
Needless to say, smearing your mouth with honey is a magic trick, a way to tease the Kitchen Lord.
Legislation establishes festivals, which brings great joy.
That is really clearly forcing Mr. Zao to be helpless.
Because the world is full of joy, when Lord Zao goes to heaven to report his duties, whether it is out of sincerity or false intentions, if he does not report these situations, he is hiding it.
Secondly, the Jade Emperor will definitely check the human world a little when he is reporting on his duties, and probably let his clairvoyant eyes scan the human world.
If one sees the prosperity of this sect, but is said to be a hell on earth by Lord Zao, is it nonsense from Lord Zao, or has his clairvoyance seen it wrong?!
When ordinary officials go to Beijing to report on their duties, the routine is basically the same. No matter how miserable the lives of the local people are, superficial work still needs to be done.
Even if you ask ordinary people to give officials umbrellas, it looks good on the surface and can say more nice things when reporting on their duties. Even if they can't win more benefits, they won't be thought by the superiors that there are too many unruly people here, thus making the people's lives more miserable.
.
When Zao Lord reports his duties to heaven, the situation will be even more extreme than this.
If you don't say good things and bring dissatisfaction with God in the world, you will definitely be punished by God.
If you say nice things, everyone will be better off.
Li Shimin and others were all smart people, and they immediately understood that Su Chen's decision was to play tricks on Zao Lord.
Forcing the Lord Zao to speak good things about the world.
After much hesitation, Li Shimin discussed with the ministers and decided to set the seventh day of the next month as the Zao Lord's Duty Reporting Day.
All the people should be awakened and inspired, and even prepare to welcome the new Zao Lord and send away the old Zao Lord.
On that day, everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty could take a day off, and officials distributed double grains.
After making a decision, all that remains is execution.
With the official endorsement of the Tang Dynasty and the concerted efforts of many big bosses, there is no problem in spreading the news throughout the Tang Dynasty within a month and implementing it thoroughly.
The official document was quickly circulated.
Even the head of the village, Li Zheng, went to the fields and announced the matter to ordinary farmers, making sure that everyone knew about it.
Ordinary people didn't know the purpose of doing this at all, but when they heard that the whole country was celebrating this day, they knew it must be a good day, and they all agreed one after another.
The only inconvenience is that ordinary people may not worship the Kitchen God in their homes. Even if they worship the Kitchen God, they still don’t have the money to buy a new portrait.
For these situations, the official method has also been given, which is to tear off the old statue, light it on the stove, turn it around, and then reattach it.
In this way, he is considered the new Kitchen God.
The news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and the people followed the instructions. After all, the Tang Dynasty is now prosperous.
It is rare to see people starving to death, so they are very obedient.
Lord Zao also got the news and was a little confused and a little weird.
He found the Jingwei City God and wanted to find out more information.
The City God said: "Don't you know, Mr. Zao, that the Tang Dynasty specially legislated and set up festivals for you to worship you?"
When I said it, I was still a little envious.
Other mountain gods, land gods and wandering gods also congratulated one after another.
Lord Zao was a little happy and quickly inquired about the details. At the same time, he was also a little confused, "Strange, why do ordinary people know about my official's report to heaven?"
He scratched his head, "Besides, I have decided to tell the truth, how could they..."
The City God and others still didn't understand what Lord Zao wanted to say in his report, so they were a little confused.
"What do you plan to tell the truth, Master Zao?" the City God asked in confusion.
Lord Zao quickly changed his words, changed the subject, and said, "Do you know why they know the day when I will report on my duties?"
The City God pouted outside the temple and said, "That's what Yuan Tiangang said."
Yuan Tiangang is a junior in Yunyuan Mountain. He knows that Su Chen most likely told the Lord Zao to report on his duties.
Mr. Zao was stunned and a little panicked at the same time.
Could it be that when Su Chen did this, he knew that he planned to report his duties truthfully, and in order to protect the world, he specifically told the world?!
He is not afraid of the world, but he is afraid that Su Chen will feel embarrassed because of this, and then he will be in trouble!
Su Chen is an immortal. If you offend this immortal, you will no longer be able to live in the human world.
After the Lord Zao was panicked, he asked to find out what happened, because the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not hide anything and clearly told the world what to do and why.
It's just so that God can say good things to him.
At that moment, Mr. Zao felt like he was being morally kidnapped.
Very uncomfortable.
However, he couldn't get angry because it was Su Chen who caused all this.
Although he felt that Su Chen had revealed his affairs and was very immoral, he asked for the signature first but did not follow Su Chen's instructions.
One thing on the surface, another thing behind the scenes.
Su Chen didn't settle the score with him, so it was already considered a good thing.
Lord Zao was very scared and worried.
After understanding the whole incident in detail, he was worried whether Su Chen would actually cast a spell and ask God to say good things to him.
When the time comes when he can't help himself and is controlled by others, it will be troublesome.
In a state of fear and fear, the day finally came for the Lord Zao to report his duties to heaven.
In the Tang Dynasty, the common people were very happy.
Even people from the Buddhist sect kept a low profile on this day, mainly because they felt guilty because this matter involved Su Chen and the gods.
If they interfere and cause damage, they will attract retaliation when the time comes.
And if they interfere with it, resulting in divine punishment, they may be punished at that time.
Therefore, they are very low-key.
On this day, the common people walked into the kitchen one after another, and according to the established method, sent away the old Kitchen God and invited the new Kitchen God.
Then take out honey or some sweet water and apply it on the mouth of the statue of Kitchen Lord.
In order to set an example, Yan Liben personally went down the mountain in recent days and painted special statues of the Kitchen Lord for many important figures in Chang'an, including the emperor and his relatives.
It looked so lifelike.
After all, he had met the real Zao Lord.
Immediately, under the leadership of the important figures in Chang'an, the activities of sending off the Lord Zao and inviting the Lord Zao were carried out in full swing.
The Lord Zao ascended to the sky for nine days under the watch of his colleagues.
Three days later in the sky is the emperor's birthday, and the Lord Zao reports his duties three days in advance.
Heavenly Court, Nantian Gate.
When the Kitchen Lord came back, Su Chen kept paying attention to the situation of the Lord Kitchen with his clairvoyance, and also witnessed the Lord Kitchen entering the Nantianmen.
Lord Kitchen took the initiative to say hello to the heavenly soldiers and generals of Nantianmen, but although the divine generals of Nantianmen were not of high status, they felt that they were much higher than Lord Kitchen and did not pay much attention to them.
They continued to stand guard arrogantly, and Zao Lord smiled and bowed his head before going in.
When Su Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being in Heaven. There are indeed strong people like Lin above. Although Zao Lord's strength is far inferior to mine, he is no worse than City God and others. He even needs to apologize."
, without getting a positive face."
actually.
Su Chen made a mistake. Heaven is a place with strict hierarchies. Even if Zao Lord has some strength, he is not inferior to ordinary generals.
but.
The Kitchen King's status is not high. He is in charge of human jobs and supervises mortals. In fact, his duties are not much different from those of the Day and Night God.
The status or rank of the heavenly soldiers and generals of Nantianmen may not be as good as that of Zao Lord, but they are the so-called third-rank officials in front of the prime minister.
What's more, he is the guard of Nantianmen. It is normal for him not to take the Lord Kitchen seriously.
Inside the Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor has listened to hundreds of people reporting on their duties today, including city gods from various places, as well as dragon kings and wandering gods from various places.
As a unique god in the Tang Dynasty, Zao Lord waited in line for a long time, and finally it was his turn to start reporting on his duties.
It was just the waiting period that made Zaojun very worried.
"Why don't I feel anything yet? Didn't Immortal Wu Gu cast a spell on me?"
"But I can still move freely, and I feel that I can still report my duties truthfully!"
Mr. Zao had a headache. He had already made preparations. If he was controlled by Su Chen's spell, he would not have any psychological pressure.
But.
So far, nothing has been discovered. He is controlled by Su Chen.
The common people put honey on the mouth of his statue, but it was of no use. He was still the Kitchen God, free to report his duties as he wished.
When Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng greeted him, Zao Lord knew that he could not wait any longer.
When he came to the middle, he faced the crowd of immortals and the gaze of the Jade Emperor.
He hesitated, not knowing what to do.
The Jade Emperor said: "Kitchen God, don't you have anything to say to me?!"
Zao Lord quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have been on earth for a hundred years, and I want to go to heaven to report my duties. I have my own book to report!"
Li Taibai came to his side and waited for him to hand over the memorial.
Lord Zao hesitated for a moment, took out the memorial from his sleeve on his left hand, and handed it over.
He prepared two volumes of memorials, one is a faithful memorial, and the other is a flowery memorial.
Now, before Su Chen could cast the spell, he had to make a choice!
