Chapter 980: The Old Minister's Presence Is Still Here
Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.
In the early years, among the many Immortal Dynasties in the Taixuan Galaxy, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was definitely an extremely powerful existence.
Back then, Leng Yutian's clone was not out of control, and when he himself was in charge of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty had already entered the top ten in the ranking among the many immortal dynasties in the Taixuan Galaxy.
Over the years, Leng Yutian's clone has cultivated to the realm of the nine-star median god, and he is also the chief bishop of the Taixuan Temple.
It stands to reason that the ranking of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty in the Taixuan Galaxy should be rising.
But that's not the case.
In today's Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, among all the Immortal Dynasties in the Taixuan Galaxy, the ranking of comprehensive national strength is only the nineteenth.
The reasons for this are nothing more than three aspects.
1. Leng Yutian's doppelganger doesn't ask about the government, and he retreats and cultivates all day long, wanting to cultivate to the realm of the superior god as soon as possible, and completely get rid of the possibility of being taken back control by the ontology.
The king of a country does not care about the government, and corruption is naturally rampant in the country.
All the officials of the Immortal Dynasty did almost everything possible, and they were greedy as much as they could.
Second, the military generals are powerful and the civil officials are weak, which leads to the confusion of the laws of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, and the government decrees cannot be implemented, and there are often cases where the court orders are changed at night and the government decrees are contradictory.
You must know that the two generalissimos who assisted Leng Yutian's clone in launching a coup d'état were "Day" and "Moon".
Unlike Xingshuai's name, which is called "Star", Rishuai and Yueshuai have their own names.
The two are called Bai Ji Day and Ye Yue Gu respectively.
After the successful coup d'état, Leng Yutian's clone retreated and cultivated all day long, and the power of the court and government naturally fell into the hands of the two generalissimos in charge of the army, Bai Jitian and Ye Yuegu.
The two tried their best to suppress the civilian-official power group, cultivating their cronies in various parts of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, and wantonly looting all kinds of cultivation resources.
In the early stage, the day and the night moon were still safe, but as various resources were almost looted by the cronies of the two, various contradictions and frictions began to inevitably arise between the two sides.
Eventually, the White Pole Day and the Night Moon began to oppose each other clearly.
The entire Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty's power group is now either the "Sun" faction or the "Moon" faction.
Both factions have the power to issue decrees, so it is only natural that decrees are chaotic and contradictory.
3. Brain drain.
With the first and second reasons, this third point is almost inevitable.
The political situation of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was so chaotic, but all the people who had achieved cultivation, or the profound sects and family forces, in order to avoid being taken by the officials of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, all looked for a way and left the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.
At present, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty is not in charge, the discipline of the troops is lax, and the combat effectiveness is low.
The comprehensive national strength of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty can still rank nineteenth, relying on the foundation left by Leng Yutian back then.
Leng Yutian fought in the major secret realms back then, and finally brought back the three major minerals for the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.
The first is the Luotian Mithril Mine, which was originally located in the Xuanli Realm, which is an extremely famous and extremely dangerous secret realm in the Taixuan Galaxy.
Leng Yutian entered the Xuanli Realm seven times, and finally killed the Silver Moon Heavenly Crane that guarded the Luotian Mithril Mine, bringing the entire Luotian Mithril Mine back to the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.
Luotian Mithril is one of the materials necessary for refining top-level immortal weapons and artifacts, and using Luotian Mithril to carve the magic circle inside the magic weapon, the power conversion effect is the best.
Therefore, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty can also ensure the basic operation of the Immortal Dynasty by selling the Luotian Mithril Mine, and will not cause the Immortal Dynasty's financial collapse and the collapse of the political system.
The second is the Golden Soul Mine, which does not have many reserves, but it is precious enough.
When Immortal Realm cultivators enter the Golden Immortal Realm, most of them will experience a very dangerous Golden Immortal Tribulation.
Many people couldn't bear the Golden Immortal Tribulation, and they were directly scattered by the thunderbolt, resulting in death.
And the Golden Soul Yuan Crystal produced by the Golden Soul Mine can ensure that when the cultivator crosses the tribulation, the Yuan Shen will not be scattered by the robbery thunder.
Therefore, many immortal realm cultivators, even if they exhaust all their net worth, still have to buy a Golden Soul Yuan Crystal to prepare, as if they were buying an insurance for themselves.
These two major minerals are now controlled by the people of Bai Ji Day and Ye Yue Gu, respectively, and the two sides have no dispute over the control of these two mineral veins.
Only these three veins, the two have been in dispute since the coup came to power to this day.
No one is willing to back down.
This third mineral is the "Tianbei Spring".
The reason why the Heavenly Sorrow Spring is precious is that it can heal the injuries of the Yuan Shen, repair the damage of the Divine Palace, and it can also assist cultivators in enlightening the Great Dao and accelerate the condensation of the Source Core.
A drop of Heavenly Sorrow Spring costs more than 10 million divine coins in the Taixuan Galaxy, and it is still priceless.
As long as Bai Jiday and Yeyue are holding the Heavenly Sorrow Mine in their hands, no matter which Immortal Dynasty they go to, they will be treated with courtesy.
The Tianbei Spring produced by the entire Tianbei Mine in a year is not fixed, so how to divide the Tianbei Mine, Bai Jiday and Yeyue Gu have not been able to negotiate a plan that both of them are satisfied with.
Today is the regular meeting of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty once a month.
When Leng Yutian was in charge of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, the regular meeting of the early dynasty of the Immortal Dynasty was held once a day.
Being able to hold it once a month now is already the result of the efforts of the Great Grandmaster Mu Ziyi of the Wen Pavilion to maintain it.
Otherwise, according to the current nature of the two of them who are greedy for pleasure, there may not be a regular meeting of the early dynasty once a year.
Wen Pavilion basically has such an institution in the various immortal dynasties of the Taixuan Galaxy.
Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Dynasty Pavilion was only responsible to the Immortal Emperor, and they needed to assist the Immortal Emperor in handling government affairs, drafting decrees and formulating laws for the Immortal Emperor.
Alleviate the ruling burden of the Immortal Emperor.
In addition, the daily promotion and transfer of civil and military officials, as well as the evaluation of merit and performance, are also in charge of the Wenge.
But now the Wen Pavilion of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty has only one role, balancing the power struggle between the White Pole Day and the Night Moon Lonely, and trying to maintain the political system of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.
Although Bai Ji Day and Ye Yue Gu were military generals, they also understood that without the existence of the Wen Pavilion, it would not be long before the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty would have to collapse in chaos.
So even if the two of them knew that Mu Ziyi was a diehard faction that was wholeheartedly loyal to Leng Yutian, they still let Mu Ziyi take charge of the Wen Pavilion.
Xuanhuang Immortal Palace, inside the Imperial Heavenly Palace.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs clearly stood in two phalanxes, the left side belonging to the "Day School" and the right side to the "Moon School".
The officials of the Wen Pavilion also stood in the two phalanxes, and only Mu Ziyi stood in the middle of the main hall.
It looks lonely and out of place.
Directly in front of the Imperial Heavenly Hall is a nine-step square platform, and the throne of the Immortal Emperor is placed on the platform.
After all, Bai Ji Day and Night Moon Lonely did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world, and went directly to sit on the throne of the Immortal Emperor.
The two of them each set up a chair in front of the Immortal Emperor's throne and sat side by side.
Mu Ziyi was very dissatisfied with Bai Jiday and Night Moon Lonely, but helplessly the Immortal Emperor "Leng Yutian" rarely appeared, and when he appeared, he said that everything was based on the opinions of "Sun Shuai" and "Moon Shuai".
Over time, Mu Ziyi could only endure the dissatisfaction in his heart and try his best to maintain the operation of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.
The Emperor of the Heavenly Immortals will one day be able to reappear as a saint, eliminate traitors, and set things right.
This is Mu Ziyi's last wish in this life.
However, Mu Ziyi persevered to this day, and this little expectation in his heart was almost desperate.
In Mu Ziyi's heart, today is the last time he will preside over the court meeting.
When the court meeting was about to end in a while, Mu Ziyi would say goodbye to the old man in front of all the officials of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.
He was tired and didn't want to keep going.
Maybe letting the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty collapse directly, and then break and stand up, is the only way out for this Immortal Dynasty.
At the court meeting, the officials of the two factions once again provoked the issue of the ownership of the management of Tianbei Spring.
The two sides quarreled endlessly, and at one point almost fought in the main hall.
In the end, Bai Jitian couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted angrily: "Enough! Everyone shut up!"
The ministers in the main hall immediately fell silent.
The officials of the Yue faction secretly observed Ye Yuegu's performance, and when they saw that Ye Yuegu did not speak, they stood back in their phalanx.
Bai Jitian said impatiently: "Just with your nonsense, what results can you achieve?"
That's the end of today's court meeting, and the question of the ownership of the management of Tianbei Spring, Ben Shuai will naturally be carefully discussed by Yue Shuai to come up with a result. ”
"Retreat!"
After Bai Jixi said this, he immediately got up and prepared to leave.
At this time, Mu Ziyi shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, please wait!"
All the officials in the hall paused for a moment, and even Bai Ji Ji and Ye Yue Gu returned to their seats.
Ye Yuegu asked Mu Ziyi with a relatively gentle attitude: "Is there anything else with the great master of Mu?"
Mu Ziyi took a deep breath and said in a loud voice: "I'm old, and I want to resign from the position of the Great Grandmaster of the Wen Pavilion and go home to accompany my wife and children.
I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me. ”
In terms of status, qualifications, and official ranks, Mu Ziyi is not lower than the white pole day and the night moon solitary.
Therefore, he did not speak in a consultative tone, but in a firm and declarative tone.
After Mu Ziyi finished speaking, he looked up at the golden plaque of "Imperial Heaven Wuji" on the throne of the Immortal Emperor.
He felt a sadness in his heart for no reason, and then saluted the golden plaque with red eyes.
After the ceremony, Mu Ziyi turned around and prepared to walk out of the Imperial Heavenly Palace.
However, at this moment, five people walked in from outside the Imperial Heaven Palace.
The first one is the Emperor of the Heavenly Immortals - Leng Yutian!
Behind Leng Yutian, they were followed by Leng Ruoxi, Xiao Fengwu, Xiao Tiannan and Xing Shuai.
Mu Ziyi was stunned, he looked at Leng Yutian in shock, and muttered in his mouth: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Xingshuai?"
I don't know why, the moment Mu Ziyi saw Leng Yutian, he felt firmly in his heart that His Majesty the real Immortal Emperor had returned.
His already reddened eyes instantly shed two lines of tears.
Mu Ziyi shouted in a trembling voice: "Old minister Mu Ziyi, see Your Majesty!"
Mu Ziyi was about to kneel, Leng Yutian's figure flashed in front of him, he stretched out his hand to support Mu Ziyi, and said with a soft smile: "Ziyi, this emperor needs you, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty needs you, you can't pick a son at this time." ”
Mu Ziyi was full of tears, crying like a child who was over 10,000 years old for a while.
It's OK!
That's how it feels!
Mu Ziyi was extremely sure that the Leng Yutian he had seen earlier was fake, and the Leng Yutian in front of him was the wise and sage Emperor of the Heavenly Immortal Emperor!
Mu Ziyi shouted loudly: "The old minister is willing to be Your Majesty, willing to be the Immortal Dynasty, and willing to do his best for the people of the world, and then die!"
