After Fang Jian took the lead in saluting, Master Lezheng introduced Fang Jian again: "You must also know that this is the head of your Heavenly Court, Taoist Fellow Xunqing."
Master Le Zheng pointed at the elegant and elegant man and said, "You should have heard of another title that Taoist friend Xun Qing had in the mortal world before he attained enlightenment: Xunzi."
"Oh?" Fang Jian was slightly startled, "Could he be Xunzi, the late Confucian sage 'Xun Kuang'?"
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, the elegant and elegant middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's just Pindao."
Fang Jian was immediately surprised. This Xunzi was extraordinary. He was not only the successor of Confucianism, but also the master of hundreds of schools of thought. Therefore, after his death, he was revered as the "Later Sage" by future generations.
Not to mention himself, let’s talk about his disciples: Li Si, Han Fei, and Zhang Cang, who are all famous figures.
Moreover, he also had another disciple named "Jia Yi". Yes, he was the Jia Yi who wrote "On Guo Qin".
Fang Jian has read Jia Yi's "On Guo Qin", especially in "On Guo Qin": "...As for the First Emperor, he fought with the remaining heroes of the sixth generation, vigorously pursued his strategy to control the inner world, swallowed up the princes for two weeks, and destroyed the princes. The supreme one controls the world, beats and beats the world, and is powerful all over the world. Take the land of Baiyue in the south and call it Guilin and Xiangjun. The king of Baiyue bows his head and ties his neck, and orders his subordinates. He ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall to the north and guard the fence, but he defeated the Huns for more than 700 miles. The barbarians did not dare to go south to herd horses, and the scholars did not dare to bend their bows and complain...' This period was even more shocking.
It is no wonder that for a person with such disciples, he will be appointed as the head of the Heavenly Court by the Heavenly Court after his death. It is really suitable.
But speaking of it, this empress sage is still dominated by Confucian temperament. If he is really suitable for the duties of the Heavenly Court, the Legalists are the most suitable.
But there is a problem here. The Legalists are too extreme and their actions are extremely cruel and ruthless. It is impossible for them to have enough good deeds to become gods after their death.
Because Legalist law is a severe punishment, to a large extent it is not for the common people, but for the monarch or the ruling class.
Heaven is the ruler of the three realms. Heaven's laws are based on the laws of Heaven: 'All living beings are equal', 'Encouraging kindness to all living beings', and 'Protecting all living beings'. It is not based on a certain family, a certain surname, a certain person or a certain ruling class. .
Fang Jian quickly bowed his head and saluted again. This time the salute was more solemn and solemn than the last time. First, he was worshiping the saint first, and second, he was worshiping the god.
Xun Qing stepped forward to help Fang Jian up and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so polite. Now that you have entered our heavenly court, you will be colleagues from now on. Feel free to do whatever you want."
"Yes." Fang Jian responded.
Then Xun Qing turned around and said to the judges behind him: "Come over and introduce yourself, I won't do it for you."
After saying that, the ten heavenly judges stepped forward one after another, saluted Fang Jianji one after another, and introduced themselves one by one:
"I am a poor Taoist, I have met fellow Taoist Hongqing."
"Poverty Taoist Changxia, I have met fellow Taoist Hongqing."
"I have met Daoist fellow Taoist Hongqing in Shuting."
"I have met Daoist fellow Taoist Hongqing, Zhou Zheng."
"Qin Yi, a poor Taoist, has met fellow Taoist Hongqing."
"I am a poor Taoist in Guanghua, and I have met fellow Taoist Hongqing."
"The poor Taoist spring is clean, and I have met fellow Taoist Hongqing."
"Shaoling, a poor Taoist, has met fellow Taoist Hongqing."
"Song Ci, a poor Taoist, has met fellow Taoist Hongqing."
When Fang Jian heard the name Song Ci, his eyes lit up slightly and he looked forward. Sure enough, he saw a tall and straight man with a solemn appearance looking at him.
This man's eyes are sharp and bright, as if he has the power to penetrate all falsehoods. Could it be that Song Ci, the executioner of the Song Dynasty who wrote the "Collection of Cleansing Wrongs"?
However, Fang Jian has no chance to ask for the time being. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so he is not in a hurry.
After Song Ci, there was a young man with a cool and handsome appearance. He bowed his head and said, "I have met Daoist fellow Taoist Hongqing, Ke Mengqing."
Fang Jian heard a hint of harshness in Ke Mengqing's tone and judged that he should be an extremely decisive person.
After all the eleven Heavenly Judges introduced themselves, Fang Jian also bowed his head and said, "I am a poor Taoist named Fang Jian, whose name is Hongqing. I have met all of you fellow Taoists."
After everyone had met each other, Master Lezheng said: "Fang Jian, now that you have taken up your duties in the Heavenly Court, there will be no more poor Taoists left. The rest of the matters will be arranged by Master Xunqing for you. You can also ask you for advice." Colleagues.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "Yes, thank you so much Master Lezheng."
Then Master Lezheng left the Heavenly Court as everyone saw him off. When everyone turned around, ten pairs of eyes fell on Fang Jian.
If he hadn't known that this was in the Heavenly Court, Fang Jian would have summoned the Emperor Tai Qi Brick at this moment.
Fang Jian was not afraid of the gazes of the ten pairs of eyes. He stood up and looked back, taking in everyone's expressions one by one.
But without exception, everyone present except Dean Xunqing had a gloomy and unhappy expression.
"Okay, okay." President Xunqing said to the ten heavenly judges: "When new colleagues arrive, don't show such a bad face."
After saying that, Xun Qing stepped forward and said to Fang Jian: "Their expressions are not directed at you. You should know that we have just been fined 100,000 merits by the master."
"The master of the hospital said it simply. Even if I drink spiritual wine for ten years, I still won't be able to drink up one hundred thousand merits!" The Heavenly Judge named Shao Ling said with a look of complaint.
"Drink, drink, drink, you know how to drink." Zhou Zheng scolded: "Sooner or later, I will ask the chief envoy to throw you into the wine vat."
Dean Xunqing looked at each other, and the two of them immediately shut up. Then they heard Dean Xunqing say: "Don't make any noise. Now that Fellow Taoist Hongqing has taken office, we can start discussing matters. Go to Tianlu." discuss affairs in the palace.”
Tianlu Hall is the main hall of the Heavenly Court, where the usual discussions of the Heavenly Court are held.
As Xun Qing finished speaking, everyone turned and walked towards the main hall. Xun Qing took Fang Jian's hand and said, "Later, you can choose a palace here as your future residence and office. You can name the palace by yourself, just be casual."
"Yes." Fang Jian responded respectfully.
Then everyone left the square and walked up the jade steps into the tallest and most magnificent main hall, the Tianlu Hall.
The space in Tianlu Hall is huge, but the layout is extremely simple. There are only stone crane fairy lanterns on both sides, and a huge circular stone plate is placed in the middle. The stone plate is engraved with various mysterious runes, and around the stone table , there are twelve white jade futons placed around the stone table.
"This is the 'Qiwu Plate'. Just pour magic power into it to produce spiritual tea, spiritual fruits, and all kinds of things needed for life and official affairs." Xunqing pointed to the stone plate and introduced.
"It's a pity that wine can't be produced." Heavenly Judge Shao Ling muttered.
Xun Qing smiled faintly, and then said to Fang Jian and the others: "Everyone, sit down and let's start the discussion."
So everyone took their seats one after another. Xun Qing sat on the north side, and everyone took their seats from both sides. Fang Jian sat on the south side, one to the south and one to the north of Xun Qing. It looked like he was sitting at the bottom.
But this is normal, because after all, he has the least qualifications, and because it is a round stone plate, you really can’t tell who is up and who is down.
...
Everyone sat down and listened to Xun Qing say: "It has been half a year since our court formally discussed matters. Today coincides with the appointment of Master Hongqing as the new judge. We are all gathered here, so we can discuss recent matters." ( Any mention of years, months, days and hours in this book is based on mortal calculations.)
After Xun Qing finished speaking, Ke Mengqing, the master of Ke who happened to be sitting next to Fang Jian, said: "To the Master of the Academy, before the discussion begins, I have something to say."
Xun Qing looked at Ke Mengqing and said, "Just tell me."
I saw Ke Mengqing raise his hand a little, and in an instant a spiritual light flew out of his sleeve, and then the spiritual light turned into a picture and flew to the tray, and slowly unfolded it.
"I went to Mokan Academy to collect the notice three days ago and accidentally discovered this scroll. After studying it carefully, I found that this scroll had been circulating in the heaven ten days ago, and it was widely circulated." Ke Mengqing pointed out He said while looking at the scroll.
Master Jieqing asked: "Master Ke, what is this painting?"
Ke Mengqing said: "You real people, you can take a closer look."
Everyone, including Fang Jian, looked at the scroll carefully and saw a vivid picture of burning fire to make alchemy on the scroll: a Taoist wearing a Taoist robe, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, squatting in front of an alchemy furnace. Fan the fire, and the flames in the alchemy furnace are strong, and the elixir exudes a refreshing aroma. The Taoist fanning the fire, while smelling the incense and fanning the fire, sits there and listens to the lecture of an old man sitting cross-legged above with relish. .
"Isn't this an ordinary Dharma painting?" Master Shu Ting asked doubtfully.
Song Ci, the real person of Song Dynasty, also said: "Yes, the master lectures on sutras and makes elixirs, and the apprentice fans the fire to listen. This is an ordinary Dharma painting."
"Is there anything strange about this?" Everyone looked at Ke Mengqing in confusion.
Ke Mengqing sneered and said, "Don't worry, everyone, there are still words."
After speaking, Ke Mengqing raised his hand, and saw a spiritual light receding from the scroll, and several large characters instantly appeared on the edge of the painting.
Everyone looked at it and saw the big characters that read: "The Law Enforcement Map of the God of Justice."
"Huh?" Master Changxia said in surprise: "A picture of the God of Justice enforcing the law? But there is no God of Justice in this painting."
Everyone also nodded, expressing confusion.
Ke Mengqing sneered again and said, "Do you guys know who the old man is preaching in this painting?"
"Who is it?" Dean Xunqing asked.
Ke Mengqing said: "It's Taishang Taozu."
"What about the person who fanned the fire?" Master Quan asked.
Ke Mengqing said: "It's Yuan Tiangang."
"But... where is the God of Justice? Why can't we see the God of Justice?" Qin Zhenren asked, and all the real people looked at Ke Mengqing in confusion. It was clearly the God of Justice enforcing the law, so why were there only Taishang Daozu and Yuan Tiangang? , but there is no shadow of the God of Justice?
At this moment, Ke Mengqing said with a gloomy face: "The God of Justice is enforcing the law."
After hearing this answer, everyone present was stunned for a while, and finally came to their senses.
The grumpy Master Zhou Zhengzhou immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this is clearly a mockery of our judgment on Yuan Tiangang. How brave! How dare you question and mock our court!"
"Who made this picture?" Qin Yi, the indifferent Qin Master, asked.
Ke Mengqing shook his head with a livid face and said: "I don't know, I checked it. No one knows who this picture came from, but now it has spread among all the immortal officials below the first rank of Heavenly Court."
