Chapter 357: The Difficulty of the Treasure Elephant Country
Baoxiang City, the Great Prison for the Deep Palace, In a magnificent bedroom, a thin old man was leaning on the couch, surrounding the thick big red awkward blanket, coughing in pain.
In front of the bed, several officials seemed to be holding memorials and reporting something, but at this moment, they saw that the old man was not in good spirits and hesitated, wondering if he would continue to report.
At this moment, a eunuch standing beside the bed was standing with a worry-filled face: "Your Majesty is not very happy, let's go here today!"
"Bastard, are you trying to block the internal and external power and harm the country?" The officials in front of the bed were about to nod and agree with the eunuch's words, and suddenly heard a full angrily shout from behind.
"Master Sima! How can you swear so much? The holy body is incompatible. Do you still have to let Your Majesty deal with state affairs while sick?" The eunuch heard this and rushed to the top of his anger. He immediately stood up without hesitation and retorted towards the man at the palace gate.
I saw a middle-aged man with real name in his forties, wearing a purple robe, a seven-liang Jinxian crown, nine feet tall, long beard, purple beard face, lion's nose and mouth wide, and majestic.
The middle-aged man was not in a hurry to refute, but just knelt respectfully in front of the couch, touching the ground with his forehead, and said respectfully: "I, General Sima, General Huo Ji, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"
The old man leaning on the bed couldn't help but cough a few more times, took the silk handed over by the eunuch next to him, wiped the corner of his mouth, then squinted his eyes, and said in a weak voice: "It's Grand Sima, get up quickly... I wonder why Grand Sima entered the palace?"
When the Grand Sima heard this, he did not get up and still knelt on the ground and said, "I am here to worship the Jade Emperor Gao God. My Baoxiang Kingdom has more than ten counties and has been severely drought for ten years. This time it coincides with the birth of the Jade Emperor Gao God. The monsters sacrificed for the sacrifice are far from enough. I ask Your Majesty to allocate two thousand imperial forest Xuanjia Army to serve me in the dispatch!"
The Grand Sima Huo Ji's pronunciation is like gold and stone, and he is righteous and powerful.
The king of Baoxiang on the couch suddenly clenched his thin left hand with blue veins shattered.
"Haha, now my Baoxiang State's military and political power is in control of the Grand Sima. The Grand Sima is not satisfied now. Is even Your Majesty's Royal Armor Army going to get involved? The Royal Armor Army has only 2,800 cavalry in the garden, and the Grand Sima has only left 800 cavalry for Your Majesty. I really don't know what I mean?" The eunuch said sinisterly.
"The chief supervisor of the palace ban Su Jiugong, accusing Dacheng, blocking the saints, please kill Su Jiugong!" Huo Ji didn't say nonsense, and didn't look at Su Jiugong, and he knocked on the ground with another sound.
"Your Majesty! I'm wronged. The Grand Marshal Huo Ji is the only one who is in power to deceive the emperor and has a bad intention. Please punish him severely!" The eunuch Su Jiugong was not polite, and he also knocked directly on the ground.
For a moment, the two of them faced each other but refused to give in. As for the officials standing in front of the bed and reporting on the affairs, they had long since retreated behind them without any hesitation.
How could these big guys get involved in the battle between them?
"Ahem...hem...Okay, don't argue anymore. The Grand Sima is dedicated to the country, but he is a little more upright. Su Jiugong should not be suspicious!" The words of the Baoxiang Monarch were saying to Su Jiugong. Although Su Jiugong was very unhappy, he could only keep his body down and lowered.
After saying that, the monarch Baoxiang turned his attention to Huo Ji: "Su Jiugong is an old man in the palace. His loyalty is unquestionable, but he is a little anxious. Don't be surprised by the Grand Sima!"
Both sides comforted, and the monarch Baoxiang coughed again.
But Huo Ji still refused to give in: "Your Majesty, the day of the Jade Emperor Gao God's birthday is approaching, and the affairs of the two thousand imperial armored troops I have just mentioned..."
At this time, the King of Baoxiang stared at the gorgeous caisson above the bedroom, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily.
He slapped his perseverance and suppressed the anger in his chest and tried to ask in a calm tone: "It seems that hunting monsters, imperial guards, and county government soldiers are also OK. Why did the Grand Sima insist on using the Royal Armor Army?"
Huo Ji seemed to have not heard the deep meaning of the king's words, and still had a respectful face... or a expressionless reply: "Report to Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards, the County Government soldiers, etc., over the years, the military discipline has been decomposed and is useless. New recruits are still recruiting and training, and the monsters are fierce, so he can only ask for the Royal Lin Xuanjia Army to be moved, and your Majesty can understand it!"
After a long period of silence, Su Jiugong wanted to speak, but he stumbled a few times and still held it back. The other officials who reported the matter also felt sweat on their foreheads. Is this the push? But don’t try to find a dagger!
"Acceptance!" The King of Baoxiang took a deep breath before these two words burst out from his teeth.
"I will receive the order!" Huo Ji kowtowed without any delay, then got up and left.
But when he passed by those officials, his eyes suddenly became cold: "Your Majesty is not safe in the dragon body, why are you waiting for here?"
One of the officials swallowed hard before stammering: "The three counties in the southern border...bandits...bandits have resurrected. When we enter the palace, we are asking Your Majesty for the order to suppress or appease."
After saying that, Huo Ji's eyes suddenly burst into murderous aura. The officials on the opposite side felt trembling all over, and then knelt down on the ground with a "plop", unable to say even if he beg for mercy.
To eliminate bandit troubles, we need to mobilize troops, which involves military power.
To appease the bandits, you have to allocate silver and arrange a comforting envoy, which involves the power of financial power and personnel.
But no matter whether it is military power, financial power or personnel power, they are all held in Huo Ji's hands. Instead of asking for instructions from them, these officials went to the palace to ask for instructions from the king without authorization, which can only mean one thing...
These officials are not their own.
Grand Sima Huoji has always had only one solution to those who refuse to obey him.
"Rareless! Your Majesty's dragon body is unaware of it. You dare to use these things to disturb Your Majesty's rest. It's really a pity!" Huo Ji convicted him, and took the memorials they held in his hands one by one.
"Come on!" Before this was over, Huo Ji shouted: "Drag these people out of the palace gate and be killed immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several armored guards rushed in like wolves and tigers. Without saying a word, he dragged out several officials who were still in a daze.
After a moment, there were endless screams outside the palace gate. With the last few short screams, Huo Ji had already left the palace.
"Your Majesty, Huo Ji is really..."
"Go out, go out, I'm tired, I need to rest!"
Su Jiugong was impatient to continue complaining to Lord Baoxiang, but he saw Lord Baoxiang shaking his weak forearm and signaling Su Jiugong to lead a group of eunuchs and palace maids out.
Su Jiugong retreated in disappointment.
After a while, in the entire huge bedroom, there was only a weak king, lying alone on the bed.
"The traitor...the traitor!" The king of Baoxiang murmured to himself in a slight way.
The Grand Marshal Huo Ji already had the intention to usurp the rebellion, and the Grand Chief of the Palace Registration Su Jiugong also had a ulterior motive.
These two have their own masters behind them.
Behind Huo Ji is an immortal family from the Nine Heavens.
Behind Su Jiugong, there is a faint shadow of Buddhist monks.
The former controls the outer court, and all the civil and military officials in the court, and they are all his people in important positions. They can be said that those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.
The latter was in the palace and the imperial imperial armor army was covered by one hand. At least half of the imperial armor army mentioned were tightly held in his hands.
Both of them have powerful tasks.
But as the real king, he had no soldiers in his hands at this moment, and the few confidant ministers who had finally hidden him were killed by Huo Ji today.
The worst thing is that I have not left behind a male man, only one daughter with the title of Princess Baihuaxiu, and other royal family members were killed because they were completely killed when they were centralized in their early years. Seeing that the foundation left by the ancestors was about to belong to others, the king of Baoxiang was helpless...
Just when the King of Baoxiang was secretly hurting his mind, Huo Ji also returned to his Grand Sima Mansion.
He handed the memorials in his hand to his adviser, and he came to a secret room alone.
There is a shrine in this secret room with a god position, which reads "The Emperor of the Longevity King of the Jade of the High Sung of the South Pole".
Huo Ji was sad and lit three long incense, and he prayed silently: "The Emperor of the Antarctic Eternal Life is above, and his disciple Huo Ji prayed sincerely. The great power of the dynasty outside the Baoxiang Kingdom has been fully in my hands. The matter of Xingjun descending to the earth is feasible... Please ask the Emperor to give the elixir of immortality!"
After praying, he saw him kowtow devoutly.
At this moment, a blurry light and shadow suddenly appeared from the throne, falling in front of Huo Ji.
The light and shadow dissipated, and a red pill appeared. Huo Ji was overjoyed and immediately showed a greedy look on his face. He was obviously in the secret room, but he seemed to be afraid that someone would rob him. He saw him, a vicious dog, pounced on the pill, and rushed to the pill without using his hands. He just lowered his head, stuck out his tongue, and swallowed the red pill.
In an instant, a satisfied smile appeared on the originally majestic face.
Above the nine heavens, in the Lingxiao Palace, a fairy came to report: "The Immortal Anniversary is here to meet you."
Haotian and the Queen Mother looked at each other, and each of them showed an inexplicable expression.
Speaking of which, the three religions signed the list of gods, but almost all of them were on the list of the Intercepted Sect.
But the problem is that the great catastrophe of the Gods was ultimately caused by the twelve golden immortals of the Ancient Sect, and the God of Haotian cried to Daozu that the Heavenly Court had insufficient staff and was unable to operate.
As a result, all the Jieshishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishishi
So, Yuanshi Tianzun pinched his nose and wrote the names of several incompetent disciples, plus a South Pole Immortal Man was appointed as the god of the body, and was worshipped as one of the four emperors - "Nanji Immortal Emperor".
However, the boss of the Antarctic Immortal is unwilling to do this job in the Heavenly Court, so he is extremely disgusted with others calling him "The Great Emperor of Antarctic Immortality", and he prefers everyone to call him "The Immortal Immortal".
The Antarctic Immortal Man has always rarely interacted with the gods in the Heavenly Court, but today he suddenly came to meet Haotian and the Queen Mother, which is a strange thing.
Just as the two of them were guessing, they saw an old fairy with a long hair and a young face riding a white deer to the door of Lingxiao Palace from afar.
The immortal man from the South Pole lifted his robe and put down his white deer, entered the Lingxiao Palace, and just bowed casually, and couldn't wait to say: "Two Heavenly Lords, Kui Mulang can go down from the realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Haotian and the Queen Mother stood up.
To be honest, they really didn't expect that the Antarctic Immortal Weng came to talk about this.
But at the beginning, it was agreed that the matter of Kui Mulang and the maid of Pixiang Palace went down to the world... but there was a moment, this moment.
At that time, we discussed that Buddhism Journey to the West to seek scriptures, and the Heavenly Court was mixed in and earned a piece of merit, but where is the Journey to the West now?
No, Journey to the West is still there, but that is the Journey to the West of the Desperate Heavenly Lord, not the Journey to the West of Buddhism. If the Heavenly Court is mixed in, can it fall into it?
Thinking of this, Haotian didn't hide it and said directly: "Nanji Immortal Old Man, do you know that today's Journey to the West was not the Journey to the West when we were discussing it. It's not a good deal to snatch food from the God of Fate God's Lord!"
"The Great Heavenly Lord is such a bad word!" The immortal man in the South Pole blocked Haotian's words without hesitation. He heard Haotian cursing in his heart and his eyes twitching. Yuanshi Tianzun claimed that he was the most important thing to accept disciples, but these disciples were arrogant and extremely rude.
Haotian could only complain in his heart. At this moment, he had to listen to the Nanji Immortal Weng continued: "The Heavenly Lord of Destiny wants to earn merits and go west to preach. We don't block his way. Besides, according to my opinion, if the Great Heavenly Lord cancels this difficulty, where will the disciples of the disciples who travel west to earn merits? The eighty-one difficulties suddenly disappeared, and if they cannot make up for it, I am afraid that this will really anger the Heavenly Lord of Destiny."
What the Antarctic Immortal Weng said was very convincing and seemed to make sense, but Haotian cursed and said nonsense. Can I not understand this truth? What I am worried about is that you, the Lord of Heaven, were doing things in this difficulty, and finally deliberately ruined other people's good things.
Then you will run away by patting your butts, and will you throw this big blame on yourself in the end?
Haotian had already seen the trick in his heart, but he couldn't say it now. Stop talking about the evidence. Now that the matter hasn't even started, how can he say it?
"Your Majesty, I see what the Immortal Antarctic said. I am afraid that my Heavenly Court will not be able to avoid this disaster no matter what. Since I can't hide, it would be better to just meet it!" Just when Haotian didn't know how to speak, the Queen Mother, who had been silent all the time, suddenly took over the conversation.
Haotian frowned and turned to look at the Queen Mother. However, he saw that the Queen Mother gave him a glimpse of her voice. The Jade Emperor turned his mind and spoke: "Since the old immortal and the Queen Mother both said this... I passed on my decree and ordered the 28 constellations Kui Mulang to descend to earth to experience disasters!"
Haotian is the lord of the Heavenly Court appointed by Hongjun Daozu. Even if the three realms do not buy Haotian's account, at least in this heavenly court, he still keeps Tianxian in his mouth and says the Dharma. Of course, the premise is that he speaks the Dharma and follows the object, and his cultivation is not as deep as his.
As soon as Haotian finished speaking, he saw a big star suddenly in the ancient starry sky, among the seven constellations of the Western White Tiger, which suddenly shone brightly and dazzlingly, and then the light fell to the lower realm.
Chapter completed!
