Chapter 906 - Two-in-one Master of Conferred Gods
The Ming Dynasty, Tiandu.
An incarnation of Pei Xuanjing came to the imperial city again. When Pei Xuanjing came this time, Zhu Houcong had been waiting for a long time.
"Disciple pays homage to Master Pei!" Zhu Houcong bowed to Pei Xuanjing and said excitedly: "Disciple, I would like to thank Master Pei for fighting for the immortal status for me. I am so grateful that I don't know how to repay him."
< br>Pei Xuanjing is wearing a dark brown Taoist robe, a Taoist crown on his head, and holding a jade Ruyi in his hand.
Looking at Zhu Houcong, he shook his head slightly and said: "You deserve all this. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty turns into heaven, and the leader of the divine dynasty does not have a god, wouldn't it mean that Pindao, a teacher, Incompetent?"
"Master Pei is right!" Zhu Houcong agreed.
"However, regarding the level of the Golden Book and the Jade Book, I can no longer hide it. All the true immortals already know it." Pei Xuanjing told him about the Golden Book and the Jade Book.
In fact, it doesn't matter to Pei Xuanjing whether the Golden Book and Jade Book is good or medium, but this is different for Zhu Houcong, which is equivalent to one of his trump cards being exposed.
Zhu Houcong's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he was instantly relieved. It was unexpected that he could hide this matter for so long. Although it was not the right time to expose it now, it was expected.
But regarding what Pei Xuanjing said next, he was a little less calm than before.
“The purpose of the Conferred God Plan is to establish the Heavenly Court to control the heaven and the earth. The true immortals are willing to elect you as the Lord of the Heavenly Court because they feel that they can control the authority. But now that this exposure has been revealed, there is no doubt that It's because the impressions of the true immortals on you have changed. Maybe some of them regret it and don't want to see you sitting in the position of the Emperor of Heaven." Pei Xuanjing had considered telling the other party about this matter.
In the end, he made a decision and told the other party directly and frankly, although he got the consent of many true immortals in name, promising that he could obtain the title of Central Jade Emperor.
But judging from his current performance, he is actually not in line with the selection of the true immortals. Therefore, in the next Battle of Conferred Gods, the true immortals will not intervene openly, but they will inevitably There are some small moves.
"Disciple understands." Zhu Houcong looked serious, understood the key point, and said solemnly.
Seeing his solemn look, Pei Xuanjing also said aloud: "You don't need to worry so much. Even if these true immortals are a little dissatisfied and regretful, they will never do anything about what they promised back then. At most, they will not do it openly. They sent people to fight for it, secretly "
"The disciple understands that this is a test for the disciple, no matter what methods these people use, the disciple will defeat them one by one and prove that the disciple is the best one. !" Zhu Houcong said in a deep voice.
As an emperor and a powerful person at the ninth level of the spiritual realm, he is able to reach this day despite the legacy of his predecessors and the blessing of the true immortals, but his Taoist heart is also extremely firm.
Just now he was a little worried because he heard the true immortal was dissatisfied with him and thought that if the true immortal took action, his expression became solemn.
But since the true immortal cannot take action, then he will naturally not be afraid of anyone. This is his self-confidence and he is not afraid of any opponent.
"You have been an emperor for too long and have learned to be patient, but it has also made you accustomed to forbearance. But don't forget that in this world, the strong are respected after all. Only by showing your true strength can you be recognized by others. Get support." Pei Xuanjing taught earnestly.
As an emperor, Zhu Houcong is indeed qualified. Even if he does not care about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, he can easily control everything in his hands.
But he has endured it for too long. Facing the strong men in the world, the true immortals, he does not have the strongest strength, so he is used to keeping a low profile and biding his time.
But now the time is different. The Battle of the Gods will be a stage for countless monks in the world to show themselves. They will shine in it and show their strength and charm.
Pei Xuanjing can indeed help Zhu Houcong ascend to the divine throne, but since he is determined to compete for the divine throne and become the Emperor of Heaven, and Zhu Houcong's ambitions and ambitions must be more than that, he should actually take this opportunity to show himself.
"In this Battle of the Gods, you can do what you want to do with your own strength, and you don't need to worry about any true immortals intervening to stop you. If any true immortals want to stop you, then Pindao will naturally take action. "Pei Xuanjing's voice rang in Zhu Houcong's ears.
This is the promise Pei Xuanjing gave him, a promise he had never had before.
Although Zhu Houcong is his registered disciple and enjoys his blessing, Pei Xuanjing has never made such a promise to him.
At this moment, Zhu Houcong's expression was filled with excitement. He looked at Pei Xuanjing with a complex expression, trying hard to calm down his agitated mood, and said in a deep voice: "This disciple will never let the teacher down."
In his heart, he had very complicated feelings for Pei Xuanjing, including admiration, respect, fear, and a little bit of complaint.
He had wanted to prove himself countless times, but he had been unwilling to call Pang Hong his senior brother. He was jealous of Pei Xuanjing's favor and care for Pang Hong, and he was jealous that he did not have the same.
Pei Xuanjing did not understand Zhu Houcong's thoughts. Seeing Zhu Houcong's determination, he nodded with satisfaction and continued to talk about the purpose of coming today.
"As for the plan of becoming a god, Pindao and the other thirteen true immortals have already agreed. The destiny has determined that the Great Ming Dynasty will use the Great Ming Dynasty to conquer the demon clan and establish the human way to start the catastrophe of becoming a god." Pei Xuanjing looked at the palace. The successive palaces outside, he said leisurely.
“But as Pindao said just now, although it is discussed that the Great Ming Dynasty will be used as the basis to start the catastrophe of becoming a god, these true immortals will also have their own plans, and they will also launch some ancient holy places and even their own If someone comes to compete with you, if you can't stand out, your position as the Emperor of Heaven will not be stable, and you may even lose it."
"Disciple understands that you will never embarrass the teacher." Zhu Houcong said solemnly. He nodded.
Pei Xuan nodded and said: "About the matter of becoming a god, there are two more things you need to do."
"Master Pei, please speak!"
"First, you and According to this drawing, build the Conferred God Altar and wait for the completion of the Conferred God Altar. Later, Pindao will hang this list of gods, and then you will personally go on stage to worship the heavens and announce the start of this ceremony."
"Second, then. I need to borrow someone from you.”
"Huh? Who does Master Pei need to find!"
"Hai Gangfeng!"
"It's him!"
Hai Gangfeng!
When he heard this person's name, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that he was reluctant to lend this person to Pei Xuanjing, but when he thought about this person, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Hai Gangfeng, this famous person in the Ming Dynasty, although he is not in a high position, his reputation is not lower than that of any minister, and even many people in the entire Ming Dynasty. In his heart, Haigangfeng's reputation far exceeds that of these dignitaries.
As for an official with such a great reputation, even His Majesty the Emperor, who has the supreme authority in the Ming Dynasty, is a little scared of this person.
It’s not other reasons, but the other person’s character and way of doing things. That kind of stubbornness that even if there are thousands of people, I will go and never look back until I hit the wall.
If Zhu Houcong was a fatuous and incompetent emperor, he would have killed Haigang Fengwen long ago, but he was not fatuous. On the contrary, he was very smart and knew that what he did was for the good of the Ming Dynasty. This made Zhu Houcong very helpless.
If I am not afraid of death, how can I be afraid of death?
This Haigangfeng has a resolute character and is not afraid of death. Even Zhu Houcong is a little helpless for such a minister. After all, he is not the kind of perfect emperor, and he is often criticized by this Haigangfeng. Remonstrances were played on the peak, and many times they were disgraced.
Sometimes, it is precisely because of unique character and charm that you gain the support of others. Just like Haigangfeng, who is not very strong himself, but has convinced many people who are stronger than him with his personality and charm. people.
I don’t know how many corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty are dissatisfied with Haigangfeng, but no one can do anything to him, because Haigangfeng’s charm has convinced many strong people, and they are willing to protect each other.
"I wonder what the teacher wants to do if he wants to borrow him? This person has a tough personality, and I'm afraid he won't be so obedient. If the teacher needs it, the disciple can find some other people to listen to the teacher's orders." Zhu Houcong thought. After thinking about it, he explained politely.
It's not that he doesn't want to agree. In fact, for the Ming Dynasty, if they can find a reason to transfer Haigang Peak out, everyone can be clean for a while.
But this also depends on the situation. At least it can be done at other times. He would not dare to agree to the person in front of him.
Hai Gangfeng is too stubborn and stubborn. If he angers the teacher, he may not get any benefits.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Haigangfeng, Zhu Houcong was not so small-minded as to deliberately let the other party die. After all, the presence of such a person in the Ming Dynasty would be of great help to him in controlling the situation of the court.
And now he doesn't want the existence of Haigang Peak to affect the relationship between him and Master Pei, so he wants to recommend someone again.
"Haha, Pindao needs him to do something just because he has heard about him for a long time." Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, but did not agree to Zhu Houcong's idea.
Pei Xuanjing is naturally aware of Zhu Houcong's concerns, but since he knows the other person's temper, he will naturally tolerate it.
And what Pei Xuanjing needs from Haigangfeng is to have such a character and temper. If he is the kind of person who is good at dancing, Pei Xuanjing will still feel uneasy.
"Disciple, I would like to ask, what does the teacher want him to do?" Zhu Houcong asked in confusion.
“In the matter of conferring gods, the gods compete for the title, and the person who will preside over the conferment has not yet been decided. From Pindao’s point of view, Haigangfeng’s character is the most suitable. He will preside over the conferment. In matters of God, even if he comes from the Ming Dynasty, he will be impartial and impartial, without any favoritism!" Pei Xuanjing expressed his thoughts.
Pei Xuanjing, the host of the Conferment of Gods, has not yet been selected. After all, the power in the hands of the host of the Conferment of Gods is not small. Even if the other party loosens his grip slightly in this Conferred Gods plan, it will bring great convenience to many people.
Pei Xuanjing does not allow these things to happen, but he cannot allow the other party to let them go without a bottom line. If this is allowed to be controlled by people from either side of the Immortal Sect, I am afraid that the fight for the throne of immortality will also involve the sealing of the throne. The outcome of the God War will have a big impact.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing has always wanted to find a person with high moral character and guaranteed moral character to preside over the matter of conferring a god, so that the fairness of the canonization can be guaranteed.
Originally, the first candidate that Pei Xuanjing considered was none other than Wang Bo'an. His character and virtue were guaranteed, and he was absolutely suitable to preside over the matter of conferring a god.
However, when Pei Xuanjing hesitated, he still gave up, because Wang Boan's current status is different. He guards the border and commands millions of troops. He is a rare military commander among the human race and is recognized by many immortal sect forces.
It is true that there are such outstanding military commanders among the rest of the human race, but few of them are recognized by many forces and are willing to obey orders.
Wang Boan was one of the few, so his position was difficult to replace, so Pei Xuanjing gave up this option.
And the person he chose in the end was none other than Haigangfeng.
Only with this person's character can he stick to his principles when facing various temptations and obstructions in this god-making plan.
"The teacher is brilliant, and the disciples admire him." Zhu Houcong was silent for a long time, speechless, because even with his wisdom, he could not find anything wrong with it.
Because of Haigangfeng's understanding, the other party would indeed not be moved by any threats or temptations.
I have to admit that Pei Xuanjing’s approach is really to make the best use of everything and make the best use of people’s talents.
And sure enough, when Zhu Houcong invited Haigangfeng and Pei Xuanjing proposed this idea, the famous Ming Dynasty Haigangfeng agreed after some consideration.
The matter of becoming a god is of great importance, not only related to the promotion of the Ming Dynasty, but also related to the future of the human race, so Haigang Peak is obliged to deal with this matter.
Of course there is also part of the reason, that is, he himself knows that he has offended many people in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not that he is afraid of these people.
But in the current situation, the matter of conferring gods is more important to the Ming Dynasty. It is better to retreat temporarily and wait for everything to fall behind before dealing with it.
Next, Pei Xuanjing has settled all the matters before the canonization of the gods, and everything is waiting for the canonization of the gods to begin completely.
Zhu Houcong acted very quickly. After Pei Xuanjing left, he arranged for Yan Weizhong, the Minister of Rites, to immediately supervise the construction of the altar for the purpose of enshrining the list of gods.
Yan Weizhong followed the emperor's orders in everything, and he was very clear about matters related to immortality. He did not dare to delay at all. He immediately summoned craftsmen to build the altar according to the design drawings. In just over a month, he was in Tiandu. Build an altar.
Zhu Houcong fasted and bathed, and then climbed onto the altar to announce to heaven and earth that he would promote humanity and slay demons!
