Chapter 39: Bargaining

"Okay, since Your Majesty asks so, I won't sell it. This time, I came to ask His Majesty for a half-official position. The Nine Spirits Yuan Sage also saw it, and the five of them together may not be as good as this couple, so he simply confessed.

"Asking for an official?" Zhan Bai was slightly stunned.

It was a little different from what he expected.

Originally, he thought that these five people came over to rely on their forces that had not completely collapsed yet, and bargained with Zhanbai, hoping to maintain neutrality in the future war and continue to live their happy life, even if it cost something.

It's a pity that Zhanbai obviously underestimated the determination of these five people.

Begging for officials, to put it mildly, but this is almost equivalent to attachment.

The strong men of the five Great Emperors are attached, even if it is Zhanbai, it is extremely tempting.

You must know that under his current command, except for himself, there are almost no Great Emperor Zhenjun who can really handle it, as for Guiguzi and the Xudu who doesn't know where he is, although they are nominally attached, but with Zhanbai's current strength, they can't be driven at all.

"Yes, before, we heard that Your Majesty made the monkey head the king of heaven, presumably with our cultivation, Your Majesty should not be stingy." Dressed in a yellow robe, but with nondescript hair, it is even more natural for the yellow-eyed old Buddha who is not taboo.

"Hmph." Zhan Bai snorted coldly, and immediately had a calculation in his heart.

Where did these five people come to beg officials and courtiers, they simply regarded him here as a good hall to live and live.

What is the Heavenly King, although it is nominally under the command of Zhanbai, but he has achieved the pinnacle of honor, not to mention that he has his own territory and army, and even all military and political affairs within him are autonomous.

Although Zhanbai was generous when he was called emperor before, he only crowned the Monkey King as the Monkey King, and the reason why this was so was because he was sure that he could control the monkey.

Not to mention the friendship between Yin'er and the monkey, not to mention that Zhan Yibai was waiting for him, but Zhan Bai found Bai Jingjing for him, which was enough to make Monkey King bow down to him. Of course, this is not without the meaning of compensating for making him give up the land of Wuhu back then.

All in all, the position of the Heavenly King, Zhan Bai will definitely not be granted easily unless he is necessarily sure.

And the five people in front of him, not to mention that their purpose is not pure, but Zhanbai can't control this, so it is absolutely impossible to crown them as the king.

Although he has made a decision in his heart, Zhanbai can't turn his face immediately, after all, Zhanbai is now the time to seek talent, if this matter spreads, it is easy to give people a bad feeling, how can anyone dare to come to take refuge in the future.

Since it is a negotiation, and only others are allowed to ask for a price, are they not allowed to repay the money on the ground?

The throne of the Heavenly King may not be handed over to them, it depends on whether they can pay the price.

"With the current cultivation of the five emperors and the forces behind them, it is not too much to be crowned a heavenly king." Zhan Bai smiled, but then his voice changed, "It's just ......"

"Just what?" The Nine Spirits Yuan Saint couldn't help but say anxiously.

The same thing, in the eyes of different people, has different meanings.

In Zhanbai's view, these five people are asking for a sky-high price. And in the eyes of the other five people, today's decision, why not lose its value?

Originally, they stood in Yingzhou, how happy they were. In addition, they are unwilling to be restrained by others, otherwise, many of them would not have betrayed the Buddha and Taoism back then.

It's a pity that the situation is stronger than people, and when the Nine Emperors return and see that the world and Jiuzhou are about to be in chaos, the biggest possibility of being neutral as in the past is to be eliminated first. In this case, although they are unwilling, they are not as unwilling as their own lives.

Of course, although it was decided to be subordinate, this camp still had to be well chosen.

It stands to reason that with Heavenly Court as the leader, plus the assistance of the Dao and Buddha families, its power is the strongest, at least for now. Choosing this side is undoubtedly the safest, but it is also extremely problematic.

The three forces of Heaven, Dao, and Buddha are strong, but in the same way, their internal forces are intertwined, although there are many talents, but the slightly important positions are all occupied by these three parties, and as an outsider, even if they cultivate to the Great Emperor Zhenjun, there will only be two results. Either he casually promised a fictitious position with no real power to hide it, or he was used as cannon fodder and arranged to the most dangerous battlefield.

Obviously, neither of these possibilities is acceptable to the five. What's more, four of the five are traitors, and they are bound to be more seriously excluded and suppressed.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court forces were almost the first to be excluded by them.

The rest are Nanxuan Jiuli Emperor Chi You, Qingtian Jiuyun Emperor Taihao, Huaxia Jiuding Emperor Yan and Huang, and Donghua Jiuxiao Emperor Fuxi in front of him.

Among them, the two emperors of Yan and Huang have not been found back because they have been suppressed by the heavenly court for too many years, and the body of the Yellow Emperor has been decomposed.

Chi You is too strong by nature, and his subordinates are also fierce generals, so he is not the master of the Ming Dynasty after weighing it.

The rest of Taihao and Fuxi?

Taihao is a relatively good choice, because of Bodhi's assistance, so in the war of the flood and famine, he preserved his strength to a large extent. But success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, the five people really don't have half a point of certainty, they can fight Bodhi, once they are effective, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be obedient to it, or just that.

After thinking about it, in the end, the eyes of the five people still fell on their neighbors.

The choice of Zhanbai, no, or Fuxi, the five of them were well thought out.

First, Zhanbai's power is relatively weak, which also gives them room to operate, to put it proudly, as the emperor Zhenjun, he has gathered tens of millions of scattered cultivators, and in real comparison, compared to Zhanbai, it is also more than that, the guest is strong and the master is weak, once the operation is good, the future is bright. The second is the region, at least from the current point of view, Zhanbai's energy is mainly focused on operating Yingzhou, which is another good news, after all, they have lived here for tens of thousands of years, and they are outright snakes. The last reason is that Zhanbai does not have wise and demonic strategists like Sanqing and Bodhi, and the means are endless, so they will not be easily handled. As for the town that was renamed Guiguzi...... Hehe, in their opinion, it's just a false name Meng Weijun.

It is precisely this kind of reason that makes them seem to be submissive on the surface, but they still have a sense of superiority in their hearts, and there is even no shortage of charity.

The strong men of the five great emperors are attached, aren't you Zhanbai still rushing to win over? In this case, a small position of the Heavenly King is nine out of ten.

"It's just that you have not made an inch, and you have been allowed to hold a high position, if this is spread, I am afraid that it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people below?" Zhan Bai smiled playfully.

"Merit?"

The five were a little stupid.

How can you add the position of Heavenly King, you still need credit, isn't the cultivation of their Great Emperor Zhenjun enough?

"Your Majesty, your words are a bit of a bully to our IQ, right?" Sai Tai Sui, who had the most hot temper among the five, snorted coldly.

If you change the environment, I'm afraid it's not just a question.

"Where do you start?" Zhan Bai was not angry, and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty has just been proclaimed emperor, and there has been no war against the outside world, not to mention that we have no opportunity to make meritorious contributions. It's just that the monkey has made some credit, but it's just a big Luo Zhenjun's monkey cub, why should he be the king of heaven, but we have to take credit for it? "The Nine Spirits Yuan Sage is also quite angry, although he may not be very smart, but he is not stupid, how can he not see the perfunctory in Zhan Bai's words.

"Who said my grandson didn't?"
