488, Heavenly Court has been promoted, Erlang Zhenjun
Going to Dongting Dragon Palace is not for personal matters.
But it's official business.
It’s time for Bai Gui to be promoted!
Although Rencao Guan has great power, his official position is low, which is not suitable for Bai Gui, a golden elixir immortal.
To put it simply, Bai Gui comes from the immortals of the orthodox Jindan Dao. If he were to be awarded an official normally, he would be at least a mid-level immortal official. Otherwise, on the Dragon Slaying Platform, the golden-armored god who is responsible for delivering the edict would not treat Bai Gui like this.
Respected.
But which official position should be awarded remains to be discussed.
One day in heaven and one year on earth.
During the time he stayed on earth, he probably only spent an hour in heaven.
Which official position should be awarded was exactly what the Dragon King of Dongting planned to discuss with Bai Gui. There was a big reason why Bai Gui returned to Chang'an in a hurry when he was in the Western Liang Women's Kingdom.
Shortly after.
Bai Gui used the cold dragon method to travel through the water veins of the world and arrived at Dongting Lake in a quarter of an hour.
"My dear nephew, according to my secret report in heaven, you have gained a lot of merits from serving as a minister in the human world this time. Although the assessment is not all superior, it is not among the inferior..."
"My Dragon Clan belongs to the Ministry of Water. We can secretly make connections and win the Water Lord of the Five Lakes for you."
In the Xiangzhen Hall, the Dragon King of Dongting saw Bai Gui's eager face and smiled.
Bai Gui, the immortal, is equivalent to the orthodox immortal god who came out of a major. Although he is an immortal, he is different from Bai Gui's immortal. He is an immortal cultivated by gods and blood. Although they are both immortals, Bai Gui is in heaven.
, the future is broader.
Like him, no matter how capable he is, he can only be ranked as the Dragon King of Dongting.
But Bai Gui is a human race, but he is trusted by the gods in heaven and appointed as the water lord in charge of the five lakes.
"Five Lakes Water Lord?"
Bai Gui was led to the seat by Dongting Dragon Lord, and he frowned and thought about this priesthood.
It is similar to the division of power in the human court.
For example, Zuo Shiyi, who he once served as, was an inner court official, mainly responsible for admonishing the monarch. The power of this official position overlapped with that of the censor in the Yushitai. They were both responsible for admonishing.
For example, the Ministry of War held military power, but the Privy Council in the Song Dynasty also held military power.
Without it, divide the power.
The priesthood of Lord of the Five Lakes is also of the same type.
There is water king in the East China Sea, and there are corresponding water kings in the other three seas.
"The god of the South China Sea is called Zhurong, the god of the East China Sea is called Jumang, the god of the North Sea is called Xuanming, and the god of the West Sea is called Liaoshou." - "Tai Gong's Golden Chamber".
As the saying goes, there are people from all over the world.
Nowadays, there are water kings all over the world, but the five lakes of Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake, and Hongze Lake do not yet have a supervisory water king, so this position is vacant.
The Dragon Clan is affiliated with the Ministry of Water, and it has already penetrated the Ministry of Water like a sieve. Rather than letting an ignorant person serve as the "boss" of the Dragon Clan of the Five Lakes in the future, it is better to let a reliable person like Bai Gui take charge.
"This position is not acceptable."
Bai Gui shook his head, "I have always been upright. If I serve as the water lord of the five lakes, and the dragon clan's nephew sees me as the water lord, he will be domineering if he cares about his own family and has no one to look after him. It's okay for me here, but if the clan's customs change, this is the nobility.
It’s lost.”
He declined politely.
His role as Lord of the Five Lakes Water is a good thing for the Dragon Clan, but for him, it is not necessarily a good thing. Managing this large group of "relatives" will not only lead to success, but bad things are certain. And the Dragon Clan is already domineering.
If he is on top, he will definitely become more unscrupulous in the future.
So this official position is a sinkhole!
"My good nephew is right. This position will cause far-reaching harm, so it would be better to abandon it."
The Dragon King of Dongting deeply believed this.
This official position was not proposed by him, but by his uncle, the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Although the Dragon King of the East China Sea has a certain connection with the water veins of Dongting, it is not much, and he is more greedy for power. But the Dragon King of Dongting
He thought more about it. The Lord of the Five Lakes seemed to be a good job, but he didn't agree with it.
Now that Bai Gui saw this, he felt relieved.
"Ao Guang was under observation."
"How could the person who was able to come up with a poisonous plan to restrain the Jinghe River back then couldn't see this trap?"
The secret passage of the Dragon King of Dongting.
However, although he also knew about the pitfalls of the official position of Lord of the Five Lakes, he could not bring it up openly. If he brought it up, he would offend Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
I can only have a tacit understanding with Bai Gui.
"Since the Lord of the Five Lakes Waters cannot..."
The Dragon King of Dongting hesitated for a moment and said: "I have no choice but to use my money to see what vacancies the Silu Mansion in Heaven will arrange for you. After all, although the Dragon Clan is a big family, it has a low status in terms of Heavenly Court.
I'm young and can't influence the heavenly priesthood, so I can only do my best."
The two of them were talking.
I saw a flash of golden light, and the golden-armored god arrived in the Dragon Palace, followed by heavenly soldiers and generals. He held a jade edict in his hand and said: "According to the order of the Great Heavenly Lord, I am Cao Baigui, my merits are perfect, my Taoism is immortal, and I am fair in dealing with things. But
He entered the Wei Mansion of Tian Cao Si, Ministry of Justice, and was in charge of the laws of heaven, and was granted the title of Inspector of the Three Realms."
"Standing at the sixth rank, with a salary of one hundred and two merits per year, and a distinguished seat at the peach banquet..."
He spoke one sentence at a time.
"Baidu patrol, take the order."
The golden-armored god recognized Bai Gui. Bai Gui gave him a lot of benefits on the dragon-slaying platform last time, so he looked kind and friendly this time.
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Lord, for your imperial edict."
Bai Gui received the order.
The Dragon King of Dongting ordered his maids to hold a banquet.
At this time, the golden-armored god explained the origin of Bai Gui's position, "The God of Justice, Erlang Zhenjun, was short of people. When Cao Guan, the inspector of Baidu, acted fairly, it was in line with the intention of the Ministry of Justice. In addition...
"
"Ahem, the Ministry of Justice is an offending department."
"The main reason is that no one comes."
He couldn't speak anymore and smiled awkwardly.
It was precisely because of the shortage of people in the Ministry of Justice that this official position fell on Bai Gui.
"However..., things are not absolute. Among the various ministries in the Heavenly Court, only the Ministry of Justice is the easiest to perform meritorious service. Bai Du patrols and supervises the three realms, and there is no shortage of opportunities to perform meritorious service. The future will definitely be bright."
He said in a deep voice again.
The Ministry of Justice offends people, but that doesn't mean it's not a good place to be.
Just as you will die as a soldier, the frontier is also the place where it is easiest to make meritorious deeds.
Bai Gui then presented him with an immortal treasure.
He defeated the Dragon King of Jinghe River and did not feel bad about spending money.
The golden-armored god nodded secretly, "After a few days of patrol in Baidu, I will meet with True Lord Erlang. True Lord Erlang is cold and arrogant by nature, and is not an easy person to get along with. However, True Lord Erlang loves his sister the most, and her sister San
The Holy Mother lives in Huashan now, so Bai Duxun can go see the Third Holy Mother in advance..."
Soon, the banquet at Dongting Dragon Palace was also set.
At the banquet, the golden-armored god also revealed the reason why Bai Gui was appointed to the official position so quickly this time.
On that day, Taishang Laojun finished practicing the elixir and went to the Lingxiao Palace to meet the Great Heavenly Lord. It happened that Master Ge Xuan reported that the human race immortals had cultivated the golden elixir and became a heavenly immortal. He was appointed as a human being and wanted to see what position he should be promoted to.
The Supreme Master smiled and said: "Golden Pill Immortal, this is my Supreme Taoism, and the official rank should not be lower than the sixth rank."
After that, Taishang Yuyi left.
In the Heavenly Court, there are not many official positions above the sixth rank, so the three realms of the Ministry of Justice are given the opportunity to inspect.
And precisely because of this, the plan of Long Clan and Bai Gui failed, and this position came from heaven.
