Because Xihe wanted to contain Ancestor Tiandou, he came here in perfect condition, so he had no choice but to send his avatar over to discuss matters.
In the camp tent, the incarnation of Xi He sat at the top, while King Tota and Wen Zhenru stood on the left and right below, second only to Xi He.
"King Tuota, what do you think about Patriarch Tianshu's request for a title?" Xihe asked King Tuota.
King Tuota said: "Ancestor Tianshu didn't ask for a title earlier, and he didn't ask for a title later. This time he saw that our heavenly army defeated the Jade Dou Puppet Court army, and only asked for a title after our troops arrived at Yiding Prefecture. He probably wanted to be with me. Before the Heavenly Army pacifies the Jade Dou Puppet Court, they seek some benefits for the Shuxian Sect."
Xihe nodded and said: "If the Jade Dou Puppet Court is pacified, then the Shuxian Sect will not have that much weight."
King Tota said: "But he grasped the situation very accurately and asked for sealing at this critical moment, and we are indeed worried that he will rebel, which will bring us huge trouble."
After saying that, Tota Heavenly King Xi He said: "Emperor, I think that I have temporarily agreed to the request of Patriarch Tianshu for the title. I will stabilize him first and then deal with the Shuxian Sect after the Jade Dou Puppet Court has been pacified."
Xihe nodded slightly, but did not speak. Instead, he turned to Wen Zhenru and asked, "Judge Tian, what do you think?"
Wen Zhenru bowed to Xihe Gongshen, and then said: "I am a heavenly judge. This kind of matter is not under my control. Whatever the Emperor and the King of Heaven agree on, I will follow it. What I am concerned about is the matter of the 110,000 captives. The King of Heaven has avoided me for more than two months, does he want to drag this matter on indefinitely?"
King Tota smiled and said: "Judge Heaven, what we are discussing now is the matter of the Privy Immortal Sect's request for a title, not the matter of how to deal with the captives."
Wen Zhenru said calmly: "Then I will not get involved in this matter. As a heavenly judge, I am in charge of heavenly laws. I will not get involved in matters that are not under my authority."
After saying this, Wen Zhenru bowed to Xihe and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, I have nothing to say about this matter. I will only listen to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven's decision."
Xihe smiled, but she didn't want to get involved in the matter of what to do with the 110,000 captives, so she let King Tota and Wen Zhenru fight.
So after Xihe nodded slightly, he said: "In that case, let's report it to Taishi Immortal Capital and ask Taishi Immortal Capital to make a decision. I also agree to temporarily grant the title of Patriarch Tianshu first, and we can discuss this together with the report. Report."
King Tota immediately bowed and said, "I will obey the law."
Wen Zhenru said: "I also want to report together and ask Taishi Xiandu and Shen Leiyu Mansion to issue an explicit decree on the disposal of the 110,000 captives."
King Tota looked startled, then smiled and said: "Why bother Taishi Immortal Capital with such a trivial matter? Let's just discuss it later."
Wen Zhenru said: "It's been two months, what can be the result of another discussion? Heavenly Court has clearly defeated the Puppet Court's 200,000 troops, but the Shuxian Sect still dares to ask Heavenly Court for a seal at this juncture. This is because of the majesty of Heavenly Court. As a result of not establishing it, we must strictly enforce the laws of heaven and establish the power of heaven as soon as possible!"
King Tota said: "Let's do this. In five days, I will summon all the immortal officials and generals in the Zhutian world to discuss the matter of the 110,000 captives in detail?"
But Wen Zhenru insisted: "There will be a discussion in five days, and my memorial will also be submitted!"
"This" King Tota was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Judge Heaven, should I wait for five days to discuss this memorial before submitting it?"
Wen Zhenru looked at King Tuta and said, "King, do you want to stop me from submitting the memorial?"
"No, no, there is absolutely no such thing." The King of Tota waved his hand in a hurry. Shangshu's report is the authority given to every heavenly official by the heaven. It is a power that no one can take away. How dare the King of Tota have such thoughts.
In the end, King Tuota saw that he could not persuade Wen Zhenru, so he had no choice but to give up. Then he wrote a memorial about Patriarch Tianshu's request for a title and submitted it to Xihe.
Wen Zhenru then wrote a memorial about the prisoners and submitted it to Xihe.
After Xihe received the two memorials, he said to everyone: "Okay, after I return to my main body, I will submit the memorials to heaven. Sirs, please dismiss the meeting first."
Everyone immediately stood up and stood in the center of the tent to worship: "Bearing off the Emperor."
Xi He's body turned into a ray of fairy light and disappeared into the tent. Wen Zhenru turned around and left the tent. But as soon as he reached the door of the tent, he heard a voice from behind: "The yellow-haired girl holds the power."
Wen Zhenru immediately turned around, looked at the generals in the tent and asked, "Who said that?"
The generals stood there looking left and right, and then all asked Wen Zhenru: "What did you say? We didn't hear anyone say anything."
Wen Zhenru said: "Someone just said, 'The yellow-haired girl holds the power.' Don't think I didn't hear it. Who said it? Stand up for yourself."
The generals still shook their heads, saying that they didn't say it, and they didn't hear anyone else say it.
When Wen Zhenru saw that all the heavenly generals refused to admit it, he said: "My position as heavenly judge was given by Emperor Hongqing. You can question my ability, but you cannot question the decree of Emperor Hongqing. I will ask again Again, who said that just now?"
As soon as Wen Zhen said this, the expressions of all the heavenly generals in the big tent suddenly froze. They thought that Wen Zhenru became the heavenly judge because of his relationship with Jiutian Xuannv, but they did not expect that Wen Zhenru was appointed by the Emperor Hongqing. .
Now even King Tota couldn't sit still, and immediately stepped forward and said: "I heard that sentence too, which of you said it? Take the initiative to stand up and admit your mistake to Judge Tian and apologize."
The King of Tota had already spoken, and the heavenly generals no longer dared to tell lies with their eyes open this time. Soon a Golden Fairyland heavenly general stood up and said, "I said it."
Wen Zhenru's eyes fell on this general, and then asked: "What's your name?"
The heavenly general cupped his hands and said, "The righteous god of heaven, the heavenly general, is Zhou Xu."
Wen Zhenru asked: "Why did you say that? Do you look down on me?"
Zhou Xu said: "Yes, you are just a yellow-haired girl. You are not as good as an immortal. Why should you point fingers at us, veterans of hundreds of battles in heaven? If it were us, you wouldn't even give the face of King Tota. You are too conceited. Is it big?"
Wen Zhenru said: "Can't I be a Heavenly Judge in the Heavenly Immortal Realm? I think back then, the Hongqing Emperor became a Heavenly Judge when he was only in the True Immortal Realm. What do you think?"
Zhou Xu said: "The great emperor of the Hongqing Dynasty is different from you. He was promoted from the gods of the land and the mountains with meritorious service. As the saying goes, 'The prime minister must be from the state and county, and the fierce general must be sent from the army.' May I ask Judge Tian what you are doing? What achievements have you made before the Heavenly Judge? Why not tell them so that we can admire them?"
Wen Zhenru was silent for a moment, and then said: "No."
"No, you admit it yourself, right?" Zhou Xu said.
But Wen Zhenru asked, "So what if I don't? The Emperor Hongqing personally issued a decree appointing me as the Heavenly Judge to administer the punishments of Heaven. If you are dissatisfied, you can write a letter to the Emperor Hongqing to object."
Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment. After being stunned for a long time, he stammered: "Well, I didn't question the appointment of Emperor Hongqing. I just can't bear to see you being so arrogant."
Wen Zhenru said: "I am not arrogant, it's just my personality. Besides, I am the judge of heaven, in charge of heaven's laws and punishments. All matters involving heaven's laws are my final say. I don't care how you conquer rebellion. , but I must take care of those captured rebels, because this is my authority and responsibility."
Zhou Xu was speechless. After hesitating for a moment, Chao Wen Zhenru bowed his hands and said, "Judge Tian, I was wrong in what I said just now. I apologize to you specifically."
Wen Zhenru said: "You don't need to apologize to me."
Having said this, Wen Zhenru raised his hand and ordered a talisman to be sent to Zhou Xu, "Now the judge of this day officially informs you that you are temporarily relieved of the right to lead troops in combat. In the following time, you will be investigated by the court of heaven. In Before the investigation is completed, you can no longer lead troops on expeditions, or even leave any area specified by the Heavenly Judge."
"What?!" Zhou Xu was shocked. He looked at the Fu Zhao in front of him and said, "Why? I didn't violate the law of heaven!"
Wen Zhenru said: "You have not violated the law of heaven, but I have the right to investigate you. If after the investigation you really have not violated the law of heaven, I will let you go."
Zhou Xu couldn't accept it at all. Now was a good time to make meritorious deeds in battle. If he was taken away for investigation, by the time he came out, others would have already made countless meritorious deeds, and his day lily would be cold.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu immediately turned around and looked at King Tota with pleading eyes. King Tota also had a headache, but facing Zhou Xu's gaze, he could only step forward and said: "Judge Tian, let me go this time." Zhouxu."
Wen Zhenru said: "Okay, leave those 110,000 prisoners to my disposal, and I will let him go."
King Tota shook his head and said: "This matter should wait for the decree of heaven." King Tota did not want to discuss it. Since Wen Zhenru has already submitted the memorial, he can only wait for the decree of heaven.
Moreover, Wen Zhenru only wanted to embarrass Zhou Xu, and at most he would delay some of Zhou Xu's opportunities to obtain military exploits. However, this was also a trouble he asked for. Naturally, King Tota could not use the important matter of the 110,000 captives to Zhou Xu. Such an extremely small favor.
When Wen Zhenru saw King Tuta saying this, he immediately said to Zhou Xu, "Did you hear it? Come with me."
Seeing this, Zhou Xu felt helpless, so he had no choice but to walk up to Wen Zhenru shamelessly, bowed and saluted, and said: "Judge Heaven, the young general realizes his mistake. The young general sincerely apologizes and asks Judge Heaven for forgiveness."
Seeing Zhou Xu's humble attitude, Wen Zhenru no longer made things difficult for him. Instead, he withdrew the imperial edict and said, "I won't do this next time."
Zhou Xu quickly bowed and said, "Yes."
Then Wen Zhenru turned and left. After Zhou Xu saw Wen Zhenru leaving, he stood up straight and sighed slightly. The general behind him immediately stepped forward to comfort him.
King Tota did not blame Zhou Xu, he just patted him on the shoulder and said: "As an official in heaven, you still need to be careful in your words and deeds."
After hearing this, Zhou Xu bowed his hands to the Heavenly King of Tota and said, "Yes, thank you very much for your teachings."
Heavenly Court, Daluotian, Taishi Immortal Capital, Hanzhen Hall.
After reading the memorial submitted by Xihe, Fang Jian shook his head at Emperor Zhenwu and said, "These people are still too timid. The ancestors of Tianshu of Shuxian Sect also came to ask for the title. After all, they also want the power of heaven, but I don’t dare to rebel directly, so I want to use this safer method to gain the power to dominate and separate one party, and then slowly plot to replace the Heavenly Court.”
Except for Patriarch Tiandou, who was the first Daluo Golden Immortal in the Three Realms who rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor, the other Daluo Golden Immortals were very stubborn and would rather go slow than be safe. They first asked for a title from the Heavenly Court, and then If you slowly get up and develop your strength, it won't be too late to wait until Heaven is really weak to the extreme before doing something big.
Emperor Zhenwu was not surprised. This was a method commonly used by those Da Luo Jinxian in all the Bafang Tianye except Central Juntian.
"This is already the twelfth memorial letter for Qiu Feng." Emperor Zhenwu said: "Except for Central Juntian, all the Daluo Jinxian in Bafang Tianye have all submitted Qiu Feng memorial letter. Except for the leader of Xuanjiao and the Western Haotian. True Lord Ji Ying.”
Fang Jian said: "Below the Emperor of Heaven, those with the highest status are the Kings of Heaven, Emperors of Heaven, and Kings of Heaven. These people are now seeking to be crowned Heavenly Kings, and the next step is to seek the title of Heavenly Emperor."
Emperor Zhenwu asked: "Do you want to be granted an imperial seal?"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Feng, why not? Since they can't make up their mind to rebel directly like the ancestors of Tiandou, then we will change our approach. The official position in this heaven is not so easy to get."
Speaking of this, Fang Jian asked Emperor Zhenwu: "Do you know now why I send a Heavenly Judge to every Tianye?"
Emperor Zhenwu also smiled and said: "If they rebel directly, the Heavenly Court will need to send hundreds of thousands of troops to defeat them. But if they become a Heavenly Official, they only need one charge, a Heavenly Judge, and a team of thunder soldiers to solve it."
Fang Jian said: "More than that, maybe we need a Daluo Jinxian to accompany us."
Emperor Zhenwu nodded. To capture a Da Luo Jinxian, of course another Da Luo Jinxian was needed to take action.
Afterwards, Fang Jian handed the memorial to Emperor Zhenwu and said: "For the imperial seal, you can just issue an edict to Shenxiao Yufu."
Emperor Zhenwu took the Fu Zhao, then bowed and said: "I will obey the law."
Then Emperor Zhenwu asked: "Now King Tuota has surrounded Yudou Puppet Court in Yiding State. Will Heavenly Court send Daluo Jinxian to assist them? Attack Yiding State in one fell swoop? Put down the rebellion?"
Fang Jian waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, let the King of Tota surround him first, and let those in the three realms who want to rebel watch. The longer the Jade Dou Puppet Court 'holds on', the better. Only in this way will the 'weakness' of the Heavenly Court be shown." Only then will more people jump out.”
Emperor Zhenwu nodded and said, "I understand."
At this point, Fang Jian sighed and said, "I really wish they would all rise up and rebel at once. That would save trouble."
Emperor Zhenwu smiled slightly when he heard this, but in fact it was impossible. Everyone was not a child, but a powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal or even a Daluo Golden Immortal. There were still very few Tiehanhan like Patriarch Tiandou.
Ten days later, Taishi Immortal Capital issued an edict to Shenxiao Jade Mansion, and then Shenxiao Jade Mansion also issued an edict and sent envoys to the lower realms for canonization.
This time, it was not only the Tianshu Patriarch who was conferred the title of 'Heavenly King', but also the Daluo Golden Immortals from several other fields. Anyone who asked for the title was granted the title of 'Heavenly King' and was also given the 'Tianlu Golden Medal'.
Even the Heavenly King Linyou got his wish and was officially crowned the Heavenly King.
At the same time, Wen Zhenru's petition was also delivered to the Emperor Sun Wukong, the Chief Photographer of the Divine Thunder Jade Mansion. Sun Wukong immediately took the memorial to Taishi Xiandu to see Fang Jian.
Fang Jian just glanced at it and sent the memorial back to Sun Wukong, saying: "This matter is easy to deal with. You can directly issue an edict and tell King Tota that the Heavenly Judge will execute the Heavenly Law and no one can interfere for any reason. "
When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "I will obey the law."
Fang Jian added: "Also, you have to issue a separate edict to Wen Zhenru. The Privy Immortal Sect's request to be granted the title of Heavenly Court has been approved and tell her what to do next."
Sun Wukong asked: "Liquidate the Pivotal Immortal Sect?"
Fang Jian nodded and said: "Yes, since the ancestor of Tianshu asked for the title of Heavenly Court, and Heavenly Court has also granted him the title, then Shuxian Sect is now a vassal of Heavenly Court, so have any of the disciples and monks of Shuxian Sect done anything illegal in these years? Matters related to the law of heaven? We need to investigate carefully. Once found out, we cannot tolerate it and we must severely punish it."
Sun Wukong respectfully accepted the order, but then he said with some worry: "It's just that the great emperor of Hongqing, Wen Zhenru only has the Taoist practice of Tianxian, and the Shuxian sect not only has the Jinxian and Taiyi Jinxian monks, but also the leader Tianshu Patriarch is the great one." Luo Jinxian, will Wen Zhenru be in danger if we go alone?"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Don't forget that she is the apprentice of Jiutian Xuannv."
Sun Wukong suddenly realized it, and he immediately respectfully accepted the order and said: "Yes."
Then Sun Wukong paid his respects and returned to the Divine Thunder Jade Mansion. He personally issued an edict and sent it directly to Zhutian in the southwest.
