Chapter 840 Prince Shuiyuan
More than ten days have passed, and all the floating island worlds in the Endless Abyss have been completely destroyed, including those embryonic bubbles that have just begun to evolve. Slim and empty, there is naturally no hiding place for the alien demons, so the alien demons are also completely eliminated immediately afterward.
Next, the Emperor of Beiyin gathered a large group of ministers at the gate of the Taixu Gate of the Houdi Mansion, and rewarded them for their meritorious deeds, most of the people's official ranks were promoted, coupled with the financial resources obtained in the Endless Abyss, most of them did not come in vain. However, among the people, the most eye-catching is Du Xuan, because after this battle, only eight Da Luo Jin Immortals were allowed to surrender, and Du Xuan himself occupied two.
This situation also made him get a lot of dissatisfaction and jealousy from the Difu Da Luo Jinxian. There is no way, how valuable a Da Luo Jin Immortal is, everyone understands. Originally, this was a wolf with more meat and less meat, and suddenly a golden immortal junior like Du Xuan appeared, and he actually snatched food from the wolf's mouth, and there were two of them, anyone who encountered this kind of thing was afraid that his heart would be difficult to calm down.
In fact, when the previous discussion was about merit, there were many Da Luo Jin Immortals who opened their mouths, wanting the Beiyin Emperor to let one of the two Da Luo Jin Immortals that Du Xuan had surrendered and turn it into another reward. But the Emperor of Beiyin did not agree. Of course, in order to appease them, the Emperor of Beiyin did not promote Du Xuan's position, but only gave him another dismissal from the first rank of Shuijun, which can be regarded as an extra son and a part of the blessing of luck.
In this regard, Du Xuan did not make a big fuss, saying that the Emperor of Beiyin was unfair, and he accepted it very calmly. Because he knows that it is too much, and now, he is already in the limelight, and it is time for him to stay in the limelight for a while.
At the end of the war, except for the Six Heavens Army, which was left behind and strengthened the final seal of the Endless Abyss with the Emperor of Beiyin, the rest of the people and horses returned to their original positions. Du Xuan naturally did not delay time, and immediately passed through the Gate of Taixu and returned to Qinghua Prefecture.
In the Ghost King Palace, when he said goodbye to the Master of the City God, Du Xuan found that the other party was more humble, even the Heaven Swallowing Ghost King, who had always looked down on him, had become much more polite, and between his words, he was a little closer to his colleagues. This made Du Xuan once again realize the benefits of strength.
Yes, the current Du Xuan really has the capital to compete with the head of the City God's Division. After all, he also has two genuine Da Luo Jin Immortals under his command. Although he is really fighting, he is definitely still the weak side, but there is no possibility of being crushed.
In this case, the shrewd Master of the City God Division naturally chose to cooperate more deeply.
Back in Qinghua Water Mansion, Du Xuan also carried out a meritorious reward within his own system, and the Water Mansion was full of joy.
After finishing, Du Xuan called Yuan Wuzhong, the prime minister of the Water Mansion, and instructed, "Yuan Prime Minister, I have something important to do and need to return to the Water Yuan Palace, and when I am not there, all the affairs in the Water Mansion will be handed over to you to take care of." Now that the underworld is booming, I don't think there will be too many unsightly people coming out to make trouble, but if there is, you can go to the navy and ask the two generals to come out and suppress it. ”
The two great generals refer to the two Great Luo Jin Immortals, Xing Wudao and Lei Mingkong. Although they are actually Du Xuan's slaves, they are Da Luo Jin Immortals after all, and they can't be too bad in terms of treatment. Otherwise, being seen by other Da Luo Jinxian will also be uncomfortable and easy to cause conflicts. After all, it's powerful!
Because of this, Du Xuan named them all as the generals of the Qinghua Water Army, Xingwudao was the demon suppression, Lei Mingkong was the demon, and the grade was from the second grade. However, this is all a false position, and the two of them have neither the right to control nor the right to transfer the Qinghua Water Army, and some are only guards, which is equivalent to nannies.
Strictly speaking, this grade is still a little inconsistent with their identity. But there is no way, Du Xuan can only do it first. Because he knows what he will face next, and when the time comes, he will definitely have to promote a wave of subordinates. If you don't press a little bit now, it won't be easy to get promoted later. After all, these two Da Luo Jin Immortals were different from others, and they would definitely follow him all the time.
Du Xuan is in charge of major affairs, and Yuan has no final affairs, and this pattern has lasted for quite some time. Although it is said that Yuan Wuzhong is not a descendant of Du Xuan, but a descendant of Emperor Qinghua, his behavior is very disciplined and there is no mistake, which makes Du Xuan very relieved. Because of this, although Du Xuan has been adjusting various divisions and departments to strengthen his dominance, he has never adjusted Yuan Wuzhong's position.
This time, the situation is not much different from the past. Du Xuan himself thinks it's just going through the motions. However, I didn't expect this time to be different. Yuan Wuzhong did not respond directly as usual, but bowed down and said, "Fujun, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to fulfill your request." Now, the endless support has been leveled, the alien demon clan has also perished, and the last obstacle to the unity of the three underworlds is gone. The king's control of the water mansion has also been impenetrable. Especially after Fu Jun obtained the allegiance of the two Demon Daluo Jin Immortals, his position was even more solid, and there was no half-point difference. So, my mission is complete, and it's time for me to go!"
"Emperor Qinghua already has a new arrangement for you?" Du Xuan frowned when he heard this, and asked.
"I don't know yet, but the Emperor has issued an order to recall us. Before, I was ready with many fellow disciples, and I was waiting for the resignation of Hefujun. Yuan Wuzhong replied.
When Du Xuan heard this, his mind was also a little churning, and he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything after all. After all, they are not all the way, no matter how good the cooperation is, in the future, it is possible to turn against each other. After a moment of silence, Du Xuan waved his hand and said, "I know, you can go, I hope that after you return, you will have a prosperous journey and a bright future!"
"Chengfu Jun Jiyan, leave here!" Without the status of a monarch and minister with Du Xuan, Yuan Wuzhong did not bow down at this time, but straightened his waist, clasped his hands into fists, and said goodbye with the gift of the cultivation channel.
Seeing this scene, Du Xuan did not feel that Yuan Wujian was inconsistent, but appreciated the other party even more. Because they are all the same kind of people, although their bodies are in Shinto, their hearts have never left the true meaning of the fairy path, they are free, independent, and not burdened by external objects.
After Yuan Wuzhong left, Du Xuan became a little headache. At this moment, he once again lamented the problem of too few talents under his hands. The position of the prime minister of the water mansion is high and powerful, and the affairs are cumbersome, and to do a good job in this position, not only needs strength, fame, and means, but also needs to have an eight-sided exquisite heart, so as to be able to unify all aspects of the Qinghua Water Mansion in the shortest possible time, form a joint force, and unify with the outside world.
It's hard to find. In terms of the talents that Du Xuan has received over the years, there are also a few seedlings, but their strength is still low, and they are all promoted to Golden Immortals not long ago, even if they are pulled out to help them, they are not qualified.
However, the matter has come to this point, and Du Xuan has no choice, this kind of thing will eventually appear. For Du Xuan, it is better to appear early, which can allow him to adapt earlier and find a solution.
It is precisely because of this that Du Xuan did not go to Shuiyuan Palace immediately, but after discussing with a group of henchmen for a few days, he split the Prime Minister's Mansion into Shangshutai and the Privy Council.
Of course, the two of Xing Wudao and Lei Mingkong are just ornaments, and they actually don't care. Shang Shutai is really in charge of many Shangshu led by the left and right Cheng, Du Xuan's subordinates, it is more than enough to be a Shangshu, through such a collective leadership, Du Xuan's descendants and subordinates firmly grasp the affairs of Shuifu. As for the Privy Council, it is divided into Cao Divisions, and in the absence of a major war, there are not many things, and the military powers are separated, and there is no need to make any decisions on the spot, and each can act according to its functions.
Of course, in the process of this adjustment, because the decision-making power has changed from the original prime minister to a lot of scholars, Du Xuan did not get all the money into his pocket, and also divided some people and gave them to the new courtiers under his command. He is not for balance, because he doesn't need balance at all when he is in charge of the Water Mansion now, he is just to buy people's hearts, so that he can turn the gods of Qinghua Water Mansion into his own lineage as soon as possible. In this way, when he is promoted again in the future, it will not be so difficult. After all, the body of Qinghua Water Mansion is very large, and it has been transformed by many high-grade gods, so it can definitely be used anywhere.
These adjustments were delayed for several days, but after they were completely completed, Du Xuan left the affairs of the Water Mansion behind, and went to the Water Yuan Palace with Xing Wudao and a small team of White Tiger Dao soldiers.
This time Du Xuan came to Shuiyuan Palace, although he said that he was here to deliver tasks to the Emperor Dongyin and apprentice, but he did not show how arrogant he was, and he still went to Yuanzai's Mansion to report on his work honestly, like a normal local prince, Chen please, wait.
However, it is obvious that this time Du Xuan's performance in the Endless Abyss is too good, and it has already spread throughout the entire underworld, so this time when he waited for a while, it was not as cold as before, but it was very lively, and strong people from all ministries and departments came to visit and feast.
Du Xuan naturally received them one by one, but the banquet was all retreated and did not go.
This situation has lasted for a few months, and seeing that the Dongyin Emperor has not yet been summoned, gradually fewer people have begun to few. In this regard, Du Xuan didn't care, everything was as usual.
In this way, he stayed in the gradually cold courtyard for another month, and only then did the Emperor of Dongyin send his subordinates to summon him into the palace.
"How do you feel these days?" After entering the main hall, before he could meet him, the Dongyin Emperor directly asked.
Du Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly reacted and said bluntly, "I personally don't feel anything, I always uphold the principle that strength is everything." However, the situation these days has made me much more familiar with the situation of Shuiyuan Palace, and if I adjust the functions of various departments of Shuiyuan Palace in the future, I will not be blinded by both eyes, and I will listen to the words of the old ministers, at least I can get started! Speaking of which, it is quite rewarding. ”
"You can kick your nose in the face, do you really think that I have no other choice but you?" said the Dongyin Emperor with a smile on his face.
"Then how dare I, but, in my personal knowledge, I haven't seen anyone more suitable for waterways than me. Maybe I'm lonely!" Du Xuan was not too timid, respectful and obedient, he knew very well that the one who could not impress the Dongyin Emperor would have the opposite effect.
"It's good to have confidence, but hopefully you'll always be able to stay awake and don't overdo it. The Dongyin Emperor nodded and said, "Since you have completed the conditions I originally proposed, I naturally will not break my promise, but before that, I want to ask you one more question, are you really unwilling to transfer to the Water Source Sutra and completely inherit my mantle?"
If you should do it now, I can start from now on, let you take over the real power of Shui Yuan Palace step by step, there is no need to go over from that Shui De Xingjun, and I will step down from you before I officially impact the Saint Dao Fruit, so that you can have a smooth journey without worrying about any accidents.
However, if you still stick to the original path, then your path will have to go by itself!"
The Dongyin Emperor did not have any intention of coercion, but there was quite a sigh and pleading in his tone. This is self-confidence in one's own Tao and attachment to one's own Tao. As a disciple he values, but he takes the method of the True Martial Emperor as the core, no matter how much he can break through the door, he is still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Du Xuan knows this very well. However, the path of cultivation is chosen by himself, and naturally cannot be changed because of interests. Therefore, although he was a little unbearable in his heart, he still shook his head without any hesitation, "I still stick to my own path." ”
"Well, since you're so insistent, I don't have much. The Great Emperor of Dongyin sighed, "You are still my disciple, and I will teach you carefully, but if you want to inherit my position, it depends on your efforts." My water source has been unified with ten thousand waters, and the exclusive waterway has been tempered and verified all the way, and no one will have any objections.
If you want to replace my own way with your own way, then you must also go through this and regain the approval of all the waters of the world. I'm not good at helping here, you see!"
"I understand!"
Du Xuan nodded. He knew that this was not because the Dongyin Emperor was embarrassed by him because he didn't change his path, this was the inevitable way to achieve the supreme of the new waterway.
Turning to the Water Source Sutra, he is orthodox. And stick to his own path, even if he is still the prince, he will lose half of his orthodox reputation. This gives others the opportunity to challenge, for example, the Great God of Yellow Springs. For endless years, although he has been diligent, working under the command of the Emperor Dongyin, and being the second master, everyone knows that he has never given up the idea of going further. After all, he is the same innate divine as the Emperor of Dongyin, but he is just unlucky and misses the opportunity of the supreme in the water.
"That's good, I will make an order to make you the prince of Shuiyuan, and also serve as the head of the water god. However, don't be in a hurry to do things first, follow me first, and practice hard! Your current strength is far from being qualified to walk independently!"
