Chapter 691: Humans Can't Empathize with Ants; The "ministers" still want to make a comeback
There are a lot of things worth writing about in the Three Realms.
It is not limited to fairies and ghosts, even if it is the story of some mortals in the mortal world, it is not worth writing.
Especially in some remote areas, Wujing has really seen some love and hatred between humans and demons, humans and ghosts, although looking at the entire Three Realms, they are just a mayfly in heaven and earth, but the perception brought to Wujing is also very profound.
Wujing also recorded all these small observations, maybe these stories are not enough to make a book alone, but if it can be called a collection of short stories, it is not impossible.
In fact, the stories that Wujing has seen are not necessarily very enthusiastic, or they have caused a lot of commotion, and even for the entire Three Realms, they may be some insignificant daily trivialities.
But for the people in these stories, or for all living beings, it may not be ordinary.
The immortals and Buddhas who are high above often have compassion in their mouths, but how can the suffering of sentient beings in the Three Realms really enter their eyes?
It's like humans can't empathize with ants.
For mortal beings, more often than not, they don't ask the immortals and Buddhas to take the initiative to send down blessings, or even ask for the blessings of the immortals and Buddhas, as long as these immortals and Buddhas don't use the banner of being good for them, but do all kinds of things that affect their survival.
As for those immortals and Buddhas who are unstable because of their own emotional instability and because of some petty love, they want to "destroy the world" and let "all beings in the Three Realms be buried together", and the mortal beings can only say please don't come to the side.
It's not that there are no immortals who can't figure out their own immortals, and there are already as many as three or four of them scattered under Yang Jian's hands.
In fact, if they were just crazy, Yang Jian wouldn't bother to take care of them. But there was something wrong with his brain, and when it came to the beings of the Three Realms, Yang Jian was very suspicious, with their hearts, how they survived the tribulation and became immortals.
This check. really let Yang Jian find out some doorways.
Dongzhou's Immortal Sect really has some ways, and he can even stretch out his hands to the Thunder Department After all, the Thunder Department is Wen Taishi's territory, Yang Jian just put some empirical evidence in front of Wen Taishi, of course Wen Taishi didn't need Yang Jian's shot, he began to clean up the portal himself.
The scope of responsibilities of the Thunder Department is very wide, the Three Realms are so large, even Wen Taishi is difficult to do everything, but there is such a thing to eat inside and crawl outside, it can be said that he has lost face, after ruthlessly dealing with a group of Thunder Gods who received the gifts of the Nether Immortal Sect and made it convenient for the disciples of the Immortal Sect to cross the tribulation, Wen Taishi began to personally take charge of the work related to the tribulation between the monks and the demon clan.
For a time, the number of monks and demons who fell under the Heavenly Tribulation in the Three Realms increased exponentially.
Not only that, but even those immortals who had benefited in the past were now held accountable and had not escaped the catastrophe.
Wen Taishi even went up to the court to ask the Jade Emperor for his guilt, hoping that the Jade Emperor would severely punish him for dereliction of duty, but the Jade Emperor only verbally reprimanded Wen Taishi a few words, which was regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment.
Wen Taishi's ability is beyond doubt, even if there are some mistakes in his work, after the problem is discovered, he can adjust it in the shortest possible time.
Moreover, there is really nothing to punish for a heavenly court god like Wen Taishi, who is on the list of gods and is dutiful.
Moreover, among the Thunder Ministry, those Divine Generals who committed crimes were not the Thunder Gods who were crowned on the self-proclaimed god list back then, but those cultivators who cultivated to become immortals on their own, and most of them were originally from the Immortal Sect of the Nether Realm.
It is precisely because of this that those immortal sects in the lower realm can find their heads.
However, after the review of the True Monarch Temple, there are also some unexpected gains, that is, in order to be able to control the wind direction of the Heavenly Court, or to seek convenience from the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Sect of the Nether Realm will push some immortals to take the initiative to join the Heavenly Court.
It's just that after the Great War of the Gods, there is no shortage of immortals in Heavenly Court, so they can't be valued by the Jade Emperor, even if they successfully join Heavenly Court, let alone become the main official of real power, even if they want to enter the real power department as an auxiliary god, it is not so easy.
It seems that these few thunder departments are already very good among such immortals, but now they have been uprooted, and years of operation have come to naught.
As soon as this incident came out, even those immortal sects in Dongzhou were in danger, for fear that Heavenly Court would be angry because of this, so they targeted them. In fact, Wen Zhong still had clear grievances, and he actually only raised the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to a normal level, and did not deliberately target those sect disciples who were involved.
But it is undeniable that these sects must be on the list here in the Jade Emperor.
is also a competition for a position, these disciples from the sect, that is undoubtedly their own minus points, some of them are unresponsive and have not been able to perceive the impact of this matter on themselves, but those clever ones have slipped away for the sake of their own future.
Enlightenment, for them, is not a shameful thing.
This is called following the general trend and not going against the sky.
The changes in the Three Realms may not be so urgent for mortals in the Nether Realm. But the immortals in the heavenly court are obviously not so friendly.
What are they trying their best to cultivate into immortals for, aren't they rushing to be at ease after becoming immortals?
But it's only been a few days now?
Not all immortals obey Erlang Zhenjun, and definitely not all immortals are willing to be controlled, but no matter which one it is, they don't dare to say it in the open.
In the past, they may have dared to vent their grievances in their hearts, but when the Jade Emperor and Erlang Zhenjun reconciled, they had to honestly hold their tails and behave. The Jade Emperor actually didn't care, and Erlang Zhenjun didn't bother to think about it.
As for the six-eared macaque. When he is put on the table as a card, he is destined to be guarded by others, especially those who have hidden things in their hearts, or who want to do bad things, of course, they will be on guard against the magic of the six-eared macaque.
Otherwise, their plan has not yet been worked out here, and their stronghold outside has already been surrounded by the Heavenly Soldiers of the True Monarch Temple.
In the heavenly court, it has never been monolithic.
In the past, there would be several major factions to check and balance each other, such as the Jade Emperor lineage led by the Aether Platinum Star and the Tota Heavenly King; Such as the Niangniang cronies headed by Tiannu; Under the retreat of Doumu, Zhao Gongming did not get involved in the government and politics, and the sect was intercepted by Wen Zhong;
Although there are also some disciples of the Fengshen List, there are not many of them after all, and they have always been respectful of the Jade Emperor. It didn't form a faction, but it would take the initiative to get close to the side of Tai Bai Xing and Tota Li Heavenly King.
Originally, the generals who died on the Xiqi side were basically at the disposal of Bo Yi Kao, and they were barely a family, but they were not involved in the power disputes within the Heavenly Court.
And the Wenchen generals who died on the side of Dashang have already suffered losses in this regard, and they have no intention of standing in line for the struggle for power in the Heavenly Court, but if it is at a critical time, they will undoubtedly stand on the side of Wen Taishi.
Finally, it is the "True Monarch Temple" that was born out of thin air, and the appearance of the True Monarch Temple can be said to have broken the original situation of the Heavenly Court to a certain extent.
Especially the Queen Mother, who was gradually taking over the dominance of Heavenly Court, directly pressed back.
As the number one horse boy of the Queen Mother, and the "Tiannu" who also wanted to jump sideways repeatedly, was directly sent to Yang Jian by the Jade Emperor as a gift to reconcile with Yang Jian.
This heavenly slave is now imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison, tortured, and if there is no accident, I am afraid that he will never be able to turn over.
The Jade Emperor dealt with Tiannu, that is, to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.
In fact, at the very beginning, Tiannu was the Jade Emperor's people, but later after the Jade Emperor's God War, he gradually became frustrated, lost his enterprising spirit, and handed over the government to Niangniang to take care of, and in this process, Tiannu has been following Niangniang's side and helping Niangniang deal with various affairs.
At the same time, they are also constantly expanding the power of their "ministers" When the Great Sage made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, the power of their "ministers" was already quite considerable.
Even those marshals and generals with soldiers and horses, when they see them, they have to be politely greeted and sent, and even in the various departments of the Heavenly Court and the major battalions, there will be their people as internal envoys or supervisors.
As the chief manager, Tiannu is even more in the limelight.
But his face was also outside the Nantianmen, and he was slapped by Yang Jian, which was tantamount to a clown jumping off the beam.
This feud can be regarded as a conclusion between the two of them.
In the days that followed, Tiannu did not stumble on Yang Jian. Especially in the Three Realms to promote the disharmony between Yang Jian and the three princesses, he made great efforts.
even wanted to lure Yang Chan into committing a crime, and often assigned some young monks to harass the Three Holy Mother.
Especially after Yang Jian took over the judicial gods, Tiannu has always had such a plan in his heart, once the Three Virgins are in the trap, then he will immediately expose the Three Virgins to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and see their brothers and sisters killing each other.
It's just that Tiannu never imagined that his plan hadn't been skimmed yet. Man has been locked up in a prison, and there is no future for him.
However, although Tiannu has been locked up, his plan has not been terminated because of this.
Those ministers who have already enjoyed the taste of power, of course, are not willing to hand over the power in their hands like this. In their opinion, Niangniang's current dormancy is only due to the Jade Emperor's favor in Erlang God, as long as they bring down Erlang God, then Niangniang will naturally be able to regain the right to speak in the heavenly court.
And once the mother has the right to speak, the status of these mother's cronies will naturally rise. Maybe it won't go back to the heyday of the past, but it's better than looking at other people's faces now.
These ministers of the Heavenly Court are still a little different from those immortals who have cultivated into immortals, they are basically celestials in the Heavenly Realm, and after some simple internal selection, they have entered the inner court of the Heavenly Court and become ministers.
For those cultivators in the Three Realms who had cultivated to become immortals, they were not even willing to join the Heavenly Court unless it was necessary, let alone come to be the ministers of this "serving people".
If this minister is placed in the court of the lower realm, he is actually equivalent to a eunuch.
Not to mention that the immortals in the lower realm who have undergone serious cultivation can't accept it, even those celestials in the heavenly realm, if they have other choices, they would rather go to the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals than choose to become the ministers of the heavenly court.
The reason why these ministers gathered under the command of the Queen Mother was actually because the Jade Emperor did not treat them very well, and the Queen Mother also needed a group of minions to listen to at that time, so they took advantage of the situation to get closer.
After all, for the Queen Mother, the power she can directly control is much worse than that of the Jade Emperor.
With only those fairies in the Yao Pond, it is difficult for the Queen Mother to take over the power sent by the Jade Emperor, even if these ministers are taken in, they will not be able to digest it all.
Therefore, the Queen Mother hit the idea on the head of Erlang Zhenjun back then, and wanted to invite Erlang Zhenjun to come out of the mountain as her spokesperson, stand on the bright side, and manage her own power.
There are not a few old stubborns in the heavenly court, don't look at them on the surface to call a mother and a mother, but in fact, what the queen mother said, they basically entered with one ear and went out with one ear.
This real power is not given by the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother can receive it steadily.
If Erlang Zhenjun can be supported to ascend to the throne, it is equivalent to forming a buffer zone between the queen mother and the ministers, especially for some seemingly irreconcilable contradictions, which can play a certain role in easing the situation.
Originally, everything was going well, as long as Yang Jian couldn't bear the painful torture between him and Cunxin, then he could take advantage of the situation, take Yang Jian under his command, and rely on this God of War of the Three Realms to suppress the ministers.
With Yang Jian here, even if the ministers disobey themselves and do not really surrender, the queen mother will not care too much.
And not long after the Queen Mother tested the Jade Emperor and proposed to invite Yang Jian to heaven and be crowned as the god of justice, the Jade Emperor made the first move.
By the time the Queen Mother reacted, King Tota Li had already sent the holy decree of the edict to Yang Jian's hands.
And with lightning speed, the power of the heavenly court was taken back from the hands of the Queen Mother.
Although the Queen Mother was a little angry, because she had not really controlled the heavenly court and had not yet sunk into the temptation of power, she was only a little depressed, but it did not make her feel upset.
Besides, this Heavenly Court was originally the Jade Emperor's decision, and when he wanted to take it back, who could stop him?
It's just that the queen mother didn't know some of the inside stories back then, and now with the passage of time, I know that it was all the calculations of the Jade Emperor, and I am afraid that she is also a chess piece in his hands.
After seeing this clearly, the Queen Mother extinguished her desire to fight for power from the Jade Emperor. But the "ministers" still want to make a comeback! (End of chapter)
