Among the ten people who came to the Immortal Road back then, Eunuch Qi was second only to General Wang of Wei State in age, and his body was already exhausted. If he hadn't stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the world and fought in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid his body would have died a long time ago.
Today is the first time in recent years that he has fought against the Yuanshen realm, and he has been poisoned again. After seeing the Imperial Army withdrawing from the courtyard, his will finally relaxed and he died immediately.
"Hey, I've been out of the world for many years, so why bother wading into this muddy water?"
Looking at Eunuch Qi's body sitting motionless, the commander-in-chief felt somewhat sad. Until now, he still feels that this is a disaster caused by party strife, and that he and Eunuch Qi are both victims.
"You and I are our own masters, don't blame me." The commander clasped his fists and bowed deeply, and exited the courtyard with the help of others. He had no idea how grateful the old eunuch he had killed was to him at this moment.
…
"Can I also become a god? Can I really become a god?" Eunuch Qi's soul was floating in the air. Looking at Yuan Xiangru in front of him, his soul seemed to be scattered with excitement.
"It's strange." Yuan Xiangru was a little curious, "You have been waiting for so many years, aren't you just waiting for this day?"
"I didn't expect this." Eunuch Qi said hehely, "I really thought that you might not grant me the title. And you are so loyal to the court. I just fought to the death with the Imperial Army..."
"I think I'm used to scolding you, so instead of letting you be reincarnated, it's better to stay by my side to enjoy your mouth." Yuan Xiangru ignored him. "Of course, if you don't want to be sealed, forget it."
"Think about it, who says you don't want to?" Eunuch Qi chuckled, "If it weren't for Eunuch Yuan scolding me, I wouldn't be safe even if I was reincarnated."
Yuan Xiangru snorted, and a divine light shone down on his head.
Yin Si Shoshen belongs to the official establishment of Shinto, and the imperial seal needs to be recognized by heaven and earth. The small official Youshen is a marginal temporary worker and can be decided by the city emperor.
After the divine light dissipated, Eunuch Qi changed into the clothes of a minor official.
Eunuch Qi looked down and suddenly grinned. "That's it... Mr. Yuan, don't be so stingy. Can't you give it to a bigger official? The last time I wore clothes of this quality was when I just entered the palace."
"The eunuch is just greedy." Mr. Yuan was angry, "If you don't want to pull him down, I won't give him anything."
"The Shinto requires the power of incense and vows, and it also requires the accumulation of merit." Su Qing said, "You help Mr. Yuan survive the catastrophe and die, and you are also connected to the Yinshen. As long as you do your best to assist Zuo, you can also become a righteous god in the future."
It is possible for a minor official in the Yin Division to become a righteous god, but he needs to accumulate enough merit, and overcoming tribulations is also an indispensable procedure.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Eunuch Qi kowtowed in thanks, "Your Majesty has a universal mind and is more generous than ordinary people."
Yuan Gong rolled his eyes at Eunuch Qi and asked: "You old eunuch, so greedy and shameless, will you deliberately kill me one day and then take my position?"
Qi Gonggong spread his hands: "You are dead now, how can I harm you?"
"That's hard to say." Yuan Xiangru is now the righteous god of the underworld, and many things are self-explanatory. "The yin gods also have a lifespan, and it is possible to be reincarnated and annihilated. I need to find some suitable wandering souls and summon some reliable ones. The deployment will work.”
Eunuch Qi curled his lips: "Are you talking about those pampered old men? I'm not talking behind my back, they can't be trusted."
"The newly established emperor of Kyoto really needs to recruit people to strengthen his office." Su Qing said, "Ordinary wandering souls do not have enough Yin energy to deter evil spirits. You can follow me to Siyin Mountain and mobilize some Yin soldiers to act as ghosts. god."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Xiangru was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.
"Yin soldiers..." Eunuch Qi was a little depressed.
It's not that he really had any intention of harming his master. Emperor Yuan Cheng had a bodyguard and it was inconvenient for him to attack. Instead, he felt that bringing a group of colleagues over would inevitably affect his work performance.
Just when he was a little worried, Eunuch Qi suddenly thought of another group of guys.
"Even if the Yin soldiers are called in, they are my subordinates and can always find a way to deal with it. But those guys are all living people, so there is nothing they can do to grab the credit. Especially recently, the one named Yan has been making trouble again. Zongli Sect. From now on, they will all be competitors..."
Eunuch Qi was worried there, and Su Qing also had other worries.
"There is one more thing you need to pay attention to." Su Qing said to Yuan Xiangru, "Kyoto is the residence of the king and the destiny of the dynasty. You can supervise and control the death of officials and civilians, but you are not allowed to set foot in the imperial city. Otherwise, you can't set foot in the imperial city. It will be eaten by the fate of the dynasty, so remember it."
"Little God, please remember." Yuan Xiangru said yes with his hands in hand.
If it were any other Yin God, Su Qing would never say this. For any Yin God, avoiding the Imperial City is almost instinctive. But judging from Yuan Xiangru's style, this kind of thing is really hard to say.
The Yinsi Zhengshen is involved with the way of heaven, and it is difficult to predict what will happen next unless there is a catastrophe. Now he can start a city-wide riot for a single eunuch, but it is hard to say whether he will attack the imperial city for what reason in the future.
…
"Your Majesty, how long are you going to kneel here?"
"I can't hold on any longer."
"Father, I am very sleepy, can you go back to sleep first..."
In front of the incense eucalyptus table set up temporarily in the palace, the emperor, his concubines and princes knelt down and prayed. They were all sincere at first, after all, they all had the same dream. But after the initial panic subsided, he gradually stopped taking it seriously.
"Kneel until dawn!" The emperor looked at the concubines and princes and was very dissatisfied. "If any of them can't hold on, please go live outside the palace."
Suddenly no one said anything.
"Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief is back." A young eunuch came to report.
The emperor hummed, kowtowed three times devoutly, got up and went down to see the commander-in-chief.
"My dear?" The emperor couldn't help being frightened when he saw the commander-in-chief's appearance.
The two Imperial Guards were holding him up, but it seemed that he would fall down if he let go.
It had long been reported that the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard was injured, but he did not expect it to be so serious.
"Why is Aiqing so injured? Come here, quickly bring chairs and cushions...and call for the imperial doctor immediately..." The emperor quickly asked people to watch his seat, and sent for the imperial doctor.
"Thank you for your majesty's concern. I'm fine." The commander also insisted, "Your majesty, I've let you down. Mr. Yuan didn't bring him back, and Eunuch Qi died. It even allowed someone to stir up the trouble secretly, causing chaos in the city..."
The commander-in-chief was very uneasy.
These two people had such a special status in Qi that they died on the same day. Although he was ordered to go on an errand, if something went wrong, he would definitely be the one to take the blame.
"I don't blame you for this, it's really my oversight..." The emperor sighed and informed the city emperor that he fell into a dream.
If it were anyone else who said these words, the commander would be dubious at best. But when the emperor said this, there was absolutely no lie at all.
The commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood why the city was in such chaos. I thought someone was fanning it, but it was not a person who was fanning it for a long time.
"His Majesty……"
"Although I realized it later, fortunately it's not too late." The emperor interrupted the commander-in-chief and motioned to listen to him.
"The theory of ghosts and gods has always been quite controversial, with few believers and many disbelievers. Now that it has been confirmed, this opportunity cannot be missed."
The emperor said: "Yuan Xiangru was loyal to Qi during his lifetime, and he will remember this love even after he becomes a god. The top priority is not to let him have a grudge because of what happened tonight. I have already made arrangements and will personally support his soul. Bury him. And erect a monument and a temple to protect our great Qi and make it prosperous."
"That's how it should be." The commander said, "I would like to resign from the post of commander of the imperial army and guard the temple and mausoleum for Mr. Yuan, in order to ask for his forgiveness."
"Eunuch Qi's affairs must also be handled properly." The emperor said solemnly, "He protected Yuan Xiangru's body, but the imperial army played another role. Eunuch Qi arranged for a grand burial, but try not to mention it again in the future."
"The general will understand." The commander felt a little sad, but this kind of thing is not new.
"There is one more important thing, I plan to leave it to you." The emperor said, "The immortal who canonized Yuan Xiangru in the dream should be the legendary Lord Penglai. Of course, we must seize the favor of the Yin God, Penglai The fairy fate is not to be missed.”
"What your Majesty said is true." The commander hurriedly said, "Your Majesty asked me to find this immortal?"
"It is impossible to find it." The emperor said, "There has been an endless stream of people looking for Peng Lai over the years, but they can't survive the terrifying storm. If no one has been waiting for Peng Lai for decades, in recent years How could there be so many doubts?"
"Then what your Majesty means..."
"I can't find it, but I have a chance to wait." The emperor said a name, "Yan Chixia."
"Yan Chixia?" The commander was stunned.
Of course he knows this name, he is recognized as the number one person in Qingzhou Jianghu. Except for Guan Zheng, who had long since retired, no one could survive ten rounds in front of him. There is even a saying that Yan Chixia is not practicing martial arts, but practicing immortality.
It's just that the commander-in-chief didn't understand why the emperor mentioned him.
The emperor said: "Yan Chixia is a knight errant, and I have no interest in him. But I got news not long ago that he has united four Jianghu sects to establish a sect, and the founders of those four sects have all been to Penglai. Because some people had court backgrounds, I paid attention to it. Later, it was determined that it was a Jianghu matter, so I paid no attention to it."
The commander-in-chief also knew about this. Those four sects were known as the four tomb-robber sects. Not only did their founders go to Penglai, they also had official backgrounds in the Chu and Liang states. The State of Qi was adjacent to the State of Chu. When he heard that the alliance was now planned, the emperor was inevitably worried.
The commander tentatively said: "Your Majesty means..."
"I thought it was a Jianghu matter, but now it seems it's just an Immortal family matter." The emperor said, "Other countries don't seem to be aware of it yet, and we, Qi State, want to take the lead. I want you to represent Qi State at the founding ceremony. , or there may be a chance to meet the Lord of Penglai. Even if you can't meet him, you can still have a good relationship."
"I understand." The Commander-in-Chief thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty where Yan Chixia founded her sect."
"Maoshan." The emperor replied.
…………
The emperor has a benevolent reputation and is lenient in dealing with things. There are eunuchs who disrupt the government, deceive the people into rebellion, and cause chaos in the capital. After peace, the eunuchs were pardoned, and the eunuchs were given generous burials. The eunuchs were banned from hearing about the affairs in order to protect their names. The Holy Emperor Mingzhu who is more than the ancient one is only given the posthumous title of benevolence.
"Qingzhou Zhi·Qi Ji"
