"Your Majesty, Fang Jian, pays homage to the Chief Envoy, Empress Wushan." Fang Jian entered the Taixuan Hall and bowed his head to the Nine Heavens Xuannv.
Jiutian Xuannv nodded to the Wushan Empress beside her, and then said to Fang Jian: "Fang Jian, you are indispensable for being able to handle the Yulan matter cleanly and neatly this time without damaging the reputation of the heaven."
If because of Yulan and Xiao Yumei they went to war and sent out countless heavenly soldiers and generals, and everyone in the three realms knew about it, then it would be the failure of Heavenly Court.
This time, the Heavenly Court only dispatched Empress Wen Lin, Empress Wu Lin, Marshal Guan, Thirty-six Heavenly Generals and a group of Xiyue Divine Generals, and the movement was not big, far less uproar than the incident of the Three Holy Mothers. .
Among them, the ones with the highest moral standards are Guan Yu, Huayue Erlang, and Sanlang, who are golden immortals. Moreover, Guan Yu and Thirty-six Heavenly Generals did not take any action at all. Counting from Yulan's escape, Fang Jian took the most actions.
But Fang Jian was just a mountain god who practiced Taoism, but he defeated Taoist masters Zhang Sanfeng and Li Chunfeng one after another. Although he was saved by Dongshentang, the talisman of Dongshentang still made them think about their mistakes behind closed doors. This can be regarded as a surrender to heaven. Take a step.
Last time, Taishang Laojun came forward to deal with Magu. In the end, nothing happened to Magu, let alone thinking about it behind closed doors.
So this time Jiutian Xuannv said that Fang Jian's contribution was indispensable, but it was a real great achievement.
"This time, I will reward you heavily!" Jiutian Xuannv said to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian was overjoyed when he heard this and rewarded him heavily? How much merit is that? One hundred thousand or one million? So looking forward to it.
But the next words of Jiutian Xuannu made Fang Jian feel cold. He just heard her say: "So I won't reward you with merit this time."
"Ah?" Fang Jian was shocked when he heard this, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Great envoy, why don't you reward merit? I think merit is very good."
Jiutian Xuannv smiled and said: "Merit is just a reward. Don't you want to be promoted? This time, you will be promoted to a fifth-grade immortal official based on merit."
"But... I want merit more now." Fang Jian said.
"Huh?" Jiutian Xuannv looked at Fang Jian and said doubtfully: "Official fans don't want to be promoted? You want merit...is it important?"
Fang Jian was shocked when he heard this, but he immediately regained his composure and said: "To the great envoy, I just heard that there are four heavenly streets, so I want to earn some merit and go there to see the world."
"Oh." Jiutian Xuannv suddenly smiled, this is still the nature of a young man.
Empress Wushan, who had been silent all this time, also spoke at this time: "Fang Jian, let me take a long-term view. If you are promoted to a fifth-grade immortal official, won't you have more opportunities to earn merit than a sixth-grade mountain god?"
Empress Wushan's voice was extremely soft and smooth. It was like a breeze whispering in your ears. It felt really good.
"What Empress Wushan said is that this official is short-sighted." Fang Jian bowed and said.
Jiutian Xuannv nodded slightly, and then said to the other party: "Please wait aside, I will give you a review after I finish handling the last thing."
When Fang Jian heard this, he bowed his head and said, "I obey your order."
After finishing speaking, Fang Jian turned around and walked to the right side of the hall, standing next to Guan Yu.
He looked towards Guan Yu, who also smiled and nodded at him, then still stood upright with his head held high, his left hand stroking his beard and his eyes slightly closed.
"..." Looking at Guan Yu's signature pose, Fang Jian calmly took out the crispy jasper fan, threw it away with a 'swish', and silently posed.
While Fang Jian and Guan Yu were working on the shapes, Jiutian Xuannv said to His Highness, "Have Lord Wude Xing and the people from the Heavenly Court arrived?"
When the boy heard the words, he bowed slightly and walked to the door of the hall to take a look, then came back and reported: "Reply to the chief envoy, he has arrived."
"Xuan." Jiutian Xuannv said.
As the boy's singing sounded, two gods, one tall and one short, walked into the Taixuan Hall.
Fang Jian looked around and saw that the immortal on the right was tall and majestic, wearing a crimson official robe and looking majestic. Fang Jian used the editor to read his Taoxing again. He was Taiyi Xuanxian, presumably Wude Xingjun. .
But one thing to note here is that Wude Xingjun and Wuqu Xingjun are not the same person.
But the shorter god Fang Jian did know him well. When Fang Jian was sent to see Jiang Siyin off at Tianxingtai, this god was on hand to execute the sentence. He was the Heavenly Judge of the Tianyuan Court.
To say that Jie Qing is short, actually it depends on who he is compared with. As long as a cultivator is not born with a defect, there is no one who is short or ugly.
Jie Qing is eight feet tall at least, but compared with Wude Xingjun, who is ten feet tall, he is indeed much shorter.
"The boundaries of Chentian Court are clear..."
"Master Wu Dexing..."
"Meet the great envoy."
Jiutian Xuannv took a tea cup from the jade plate in the hand of the boy beside her and took a sip of spiritual tea. Then she asked Master Jie Qing: "Has the Heavenly Court sent you here to take the blame again?"
Master Jie Qing couldn't help but look stunned when he heard this. He raised his hands and said, "The master of the hospital sent me to report to the chief envoy."
Jiutian Xuannv put down the tea cup, then looked at Master Jie Qing with lightning eyes and said, "Tell me, why did they punish Yuan Tiangang?"
Master Jie Qing paused for a while, and then said: "Report to the chief envoy, the Court of Heaven has found Yuan Tiangang not guilty."
Fang Jian narrowed his eyes and looked at Mr. Jie Qinglin, who was standing there with his whole body tense. Even he could clearly see how uneasy Mr. Jieqing was at this moment.
"Oh." Jiutian Xuannv said calmly: "Heaven's court has always been like this. Tell me, how to determine Yuan Tiangang's innocence?"
Master Jie Qing reported: "Reporting to the great envoy, all the judges of the Heavenly Court unanimously believe that Yuan Tiangang is Xiao Yumei's master, and it is human nature to protect Xiao Yumei. The so-called 'teacher's kindness is like a mountain', from a moral perspective, Yuan Tiangang Not guilty."
But Mr. Jie Qing then said: "But from the perspective of Heavenly Law, he did have the fault of covering up. But Nian did not resist when he was arrested and cooperated with the Heavenly Court's investigation, so the merits and demerits were balanced and he was found not guilty. "
Jiutian Xuannv asked expressionlessly: "So Yuan Tiangang has been let go?"
"That's not true." Master Jie Qing said: "Although Yuan Tiangang is not guilty, he is at fault. The Heavenly Court decided to punish him to do fire work in Tushita Palace for a hundred years."
Jiutian Xuannv chuckled and said, "Are you punishing me or rewarding me?"
Upon hearing this, Master Jie Qing bowed and worshiped, not daring to say anything.
Afterwards, I only heard Jiutian Xuannv say: "I personally appoint the people in the Heavenly Court. Any judgment you make will have your own reasons. I will not interfere with you except for important people and matters. Not to mention because of dissatisfaction. You will be punished according to your judgment. Immortal officials are rewarded, punished and deposed according to the Immortal Official Law. As the chief envoy, I naturally cannot take the lead in violating the Immortal Official Law."
Hearing this, Master Jie Qing breathed a sigh of relief. There is a reason why people from the Heavenly Court dared to do this.
Since Jiutian Xuannu appoints them as Heavenly Judges, it gives them the right to interpret the laws of Heaven. Even if they are dissatisfied with their 'reasonable' judgments, they cannot be abolished without reason, let alone punish Heavenly Judges without reason.
It is extremely naive to do this. It will not only weaken the authority of the Heavenly Court, but also the authority of the Heavenly Court and the majesty of the Heavenly Law.
However, Jiutian Xuannv immediately asked: "How many cases in the Heavenly Court have been piled up for more than three months and have not been dealt with?"
Mr. Jie Qing was startled and didn't understand why Jiutian Xuannv asked like this, but he still replied: "Replying to the chief envoy, there are one hundred and ninety-seven cases. Because they are all minor cases and not important, they have not been dealt with yet."
"Can a minor case be shelved at will? If it is not important, can it be shelved without handling it? This is dereliction of duty!" Jiutian Xuannv snorted coldly.
Master Jie Qing broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, and he instantly understood the purpose of Jiutian Xuannv's question.
Do you think there is a reasonable explanation for Yuan Tiangang’s acquittal and I can’t deal with you?
"I am sending you an edict: One hundred and ninety-seven cases have been put on hold by the Heavenly Court and have not been dealt with for more than three months. This is a serious dereliction of duty. Therefore, each of the existing judges in the Heavenly Court will be punished with 100,000 merit points. This is the order!"
Since you have let Yuan Tiangang go, don't think that I will let you go.
