When I heard that Xia Shihan wanted to canonize Cao Ning as the sixth ghost emperor of the underworld.
As subordinates and servants who knew her very well, the Lords of Hell led by King Qin Guang were not surprised at all after hearing this.
Ever since Cao Ning returned to the underworld, Xia Shihan's attitude towards him has always been one of favoritism and favoritism, and everyone has seen this.
Even if he didn't have this great contribution to turning the tide, sooner or later someone would promote him. After all, how could Yao Ji's man be just a ferryman?
However, there were smart people present, but naturally there were also ignorant people who only knew how to follow the old-fashioned conservatives.
They have always been resistant to Xia Shihan's canonization of Cao Ning.
The conservatives, who were already overwhelmed by the Tenth Palace of Hell, now have another 'Second Generation Ancestor' above their heads. It would naturally be extremely uncomfortable for any one of them.
"Your Excellency, King Pluto, I thought that Cao Ferry made great contributions to the battle and made great contributions to the underworld. However, I am afraid that he is not qualified for the important position given to him because of his lack of qualifications. Therefore, I boldly advise the Lord to reward him separately."
As the underworld's assistant officer, Guo Kai immediately gained the support of a group of leftist vassals after giving his advice.
"Pluto, what Mr. Guo said is absolutely true. The position of the Ghost Emperor is so glorious. If I grant it to someone so easily, wouldn't it make people mistakenly think that my position in the underworld is worthless? I have the courage to ask my lord to think again."
"I second the proposal!"
Seeing all the officials kneeling down at the steps to make their wishes, Lord Yan of the Tenth Palace immediately stood with his arms folded and stood aside to watch the excitement with great interest.
They knew Xia Shihan's attitude towards Cao Ning better than anyone else, and it was impossible for her to change her mind.
At this time, the Southern Ghost Emperor Du Chong, who rarely appeared in the underworld, heard this and immediately interfered.
"When will a little ferryman from the earth be able to become a ghost emperor? Or is it that he has not been back to Fengdu for a long time and is ignorant and ignorant?"
"Emperor, be careful!"
Hearing Du Chong's strange sarcasm, Mo Yan, as an elder, naturally couldn't pretend that nothing happened.
Demon Yan stood up and snorted coldly: "Cao Ferry has made great contributions to the underworld this time. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid you would still be out there busy suppressing the rebellion."
"Oh, when did the Great Protector start worrying about the safety of the underworld? Or is it because this person is your descendant in the earthly world?"
Facing Mo Yan's defense, Du Chong squinted coldly, crossed his arms and glanced sideways.
"Not to mention that there are just a few mobs outside, even if the rebels from the Ghost Realm are here, they will not be enough to watch in front of the Lone King."
Du Chonggui is the Ghost Emperor of the South. For thousands of years, his subordinates have suppressed barbarians with little education. He has a relatively bad temper and a cold personality.
But because of these many shortcomings, he is extremely unpopular, so he is the only one among the five ghost emperors.
Sure enough, just after Du Chong finished his arrogant remarks, several other ghost emperors around him immediately reprimanded him.
"It's amazing. Is it true that Emperor Nan is so powerful? Then why didn't I see you go out to fight against the Dragon King of the Four Seas just now?"
"Yes, Nan Di has suppressed the barbarians for a long time. If he rarely interacts with mortals, he will inevitably look down on the evil ghosts in purgatory."
"That's right, everyone knows about the Southern Emperor's civil and military strategies. I wonder if you are interested in leading an army to personally pacify the ghost realm?"
"Okay, everyone, don't make things difficult for Nan Di. He has his own difficulties, doesn't he?"
"..."
Faced with the cynicism of people around him, Du Chong didn't take it to heart at all.
He straightened his back and turned away from others with great disdain.
"I have always been a person who treats things rather than people. We are regarded as ghost emperors because we have made outstanding contributions in each of our bodies, rather than relying on nepotism to rise to the top."
"It's okay if you want to convince me. Back then, I suppressed the eighty-one Yin Mountains of the Southern Barbarians and made millions of barbarian ghosts surrender before I could be enshrined as the Ghost Emperor."
"Now this kid wants to be in a position of power? Yes, then ask him to use his own skills instead of relying on others to pave the way for him."
When Du Chong finished saying this, he glanced at Xia Shihan, who was aloof.
Noticing that Xia Shihan's eyes were as calm as water, he felt even more uneasy.
"Isn't this the great emperor who imposes things on others?"
When he heard that Du Chong wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Cao Ning, Mo Yan was the first to refuse.
"My grandson...cough cough cough, Cao Ferry has just quelled the rebellion in the city and forced back the Dragon Palace's millions of troops. Aren't these achievements?"
"so what?"
Du Chong snorted with a straight face: "The troubles in the city are all under the command of the saint. Otherwise, the war can be calmed down so easily? Besides, there are millions of soldiers in the Dragon Palace. Can you guys come up with evidence to prove that this disaster is not caused by him?
Did you cause it?"
"You are using strong words to make excuses, so how can you provide evidence to prove that the siege of Dragon Palace is aimed at Cao Ning?"
"I'm not arguing with you. I'm just expressing my opinion. As for whether we should be canonized as Ghost Emperor or not, it doesn't matter what we say. That's the Lord's business. As long as the Lord says something, I, Du Chong, will have no objection."
Du Chong finally kicked the ball to Xia Shihan again.
The implication is to tell her that if you want to use your power to overwhelm others, no one can say anything, but if you want to be justified, you must let Cao Ning prove himself with his true abilities.
The conservatives now seemed to have found a backbone and expressed their agreement with Du Chong's views.
In an instant, Xia Shihan was once again pushed to the forefront.
If she forcibly canonizes Cao Ning now, he will only get the reputation of being a soft-boiler.
But if he is not canonized, then Xia Shihan will undoubtedly bow to Du Chong, and the consequences will be even more serious.
"..."
Xia Shihan on the high platform was sitting upright and silent, while Song Lun, the king of Minjiang, who was standing at the bottom of the steps, was thoughtful.
He stroked his goatee and nodded, then stepped forward: "What Nan Emperor said is reasonable. Since everyone thinks that Cao Ferry is not worthy of reuse, we should not accept his title easily."
"King Minjiang still sees things thoroughly!"
"Hey... Nan Emperor, please be patient, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Song Lun was seen pacing for a long time, then turned around and faced everyone and said solemnly: "Since everyone thinks that Cao Baidu is still relatively young, why don't we give him a boost?"
"Niubi, what do you mean by this? Is there anything you want me to contribute to?"
Mo Yan silently put down the sleeves he had just rolled up, and looked at Song Lun with a pious look.
Song Lun smiled: "Great Dharma Protector, if your efforts are needed, can it be a training for others?"
"King Minjiang, please stop being so secretive and tell me quickly."
Song Lun's words immediately aroused the interest of everyone present, and even Xia Shihan on the high platform couldn't help but look sideways.
"This is easy to handle!"
Song Lun stroked his goat's beard and said with a meaningful smile: "This chaos in the underworld has forced the eighteen levels of hell to suffer more or less trauma. Nearly a million evil spirits have fled. Although most of them have been wiped out, there are still nearly 10,000 evil spirits.
The ghost fled back to the earth."
"I think this is good. Since everyone thinks that Cao Ferrydu is relatively inexperienced, how about letting him capture all the evil spirits?"
"In this case, will anyone still think that Cao Ferrydu's qualifications are still relatively young?"
It is not easy to hunt down an evil spirit after it escapes.
Once the evil ghost returns to the earth, he will immediately turn into birds and beasts and disperse, and trying to find the trace again is like going to the sky.
