Chapter 170: Half a Score on Merit
Time flashed to April, and in the middle of the month, the court officials began to talk about trivial matters, and then mentioned how Zhang Yu should be rewarded for his meritorious service.
Wu Tingxu first said from the seat: "Wu has already checked the qi of the two alien gods, and then went to the golden palace to check it, this alien god is indeed the master of the previous era, and when his clan was at its peak, it also occupied the inner and outer realms, if it is restored and awakens the more ancient alien gods, it is indeed a threat to me."
And today's strange god, through Wu's questioning, found that he originally had the intention of joining forces with the outer enemy, but fortunately, Zhang Shouzheng destroyed it in time this time, so that it did not cause a catastrophe, and Zhang Shouzheng did make a great contribution this time. ”
When all the court members listened to it, they all agreed with what he said.
Tianxia is dominated by the cultivators at the top, and the emphasis is on eliminating the calamity at the time of the Zhaoqi, but it does not mean that if something does not happen, you will have no credit, but the credit is even greater, because everyone can see what the consequences of not stopping it are, and they will never admit it.
But although there is no problem with Zhang Yu's credit, the controversy in this matter is not here, but in what name he is credited.
At this time, the wind path man knocked on the jade chime, stood up and said: "I asked Zhang Shouzheng about this matter, but he has a word here, and he also asked the chief deacon and the court deacon to look at it." ”
He took out a jade talisman and threw it at it, this talisman fell into the long river of phosgene, and floated to each person's seat, everyone took it and took a look, some people nodded secretly, and some people were expressionless.
The first Taoist said: "Zhang Shouzheng said this, what do you think of the court officials?"
As soon as the Yusu Daoist knocked on the jade chime, he spoke in a voice from the seat: "Zhang Shouzheng's words are quite reasonable, and the four major prefectures have the responsibility of forging ahead, so how can they stick to the old ways? ”
Seeing this, Zhong Tingzhi also knocked on the jade chime, got up and said: "Shouzhi, Zhong Mou is still the last time, if the merit of keeping righteousness is counted in the position of the Xuantou, it will be unfair to the rest of the Xuanshou who are guarding the continents. ”
After he finished speaking, the audience fell silent for a while, and then a voice sounded unexpectedly: "Zhong Tingzhi, what you said is not right. ”
The people were silent, but they were all there waiting for the next step.
Zhong Tingzhi looked over with no expression on his face, and saw Chao Huan sitting on his seat, and said to him: "If Zhang Shouzheng is exterminating this strange god elsewhere this time, then he has nothing to say, but this time he is acting in the East Court, and the East Court is the place where Zhang Shouzheng is guarding, how can he not be counted above the Xuanshou Town Gong when he clears the disasters under his own jurisdiction?"
Zhong Tingzhi said slowly: "Zhong has already said that I am afraid that it will attract criticism from the heads of all continents. ”
Chao Huan sneered and said: "They can't do it themselves, and they blame others for making too many meritorious contributions? Besides, why don't I see anyone who has objections? If you have a different opinion, you can write it yourself." Why? Could it be that they all handed the letter to Chao Tingzhi? I don't know, when Chao Tingzhi will help Wei Tingzhi share the responsibility?"
Zhong Ting was silent.
At this time, Chong Tingzhi stood up, saluted, and said: "First Executive, all the court executives, what Chao Tingzhi said also has some truth. However, Chong believes that this matter does not need to be generalized, but should be viewed separately.
Zhang Shouzheng is not only upright, but also the head of the Xuan, so this merit can be commended for Zhang Shouzheng's uprightness, and at the same time, it can also be commended for his Xuanshou Shou's defense. ”
Everyone thought about it and nodded unconsciously.
This decision is the best, not to raise Zhang Yu's credit too high, not to deny his merit in guarding, but also to appease the rest of the Xuantou a little.
Although as Chao Huan said, he can't blame others for making too many meritorious contributions, but he can't catch up at all, and it's not a good thing.
Chao Huan just sneered lightly this time, but did not say any more sarcastic.
Chen Tingzhi glanced at Wei Tingzhi at this time, and the latter immediately said: "This matter is also fair, Wei thinks this proposal is feasible." ”
The first Taoist bowed his head and said: "If you have no dissenting opinions, then you will praise Zhang Shouzheng according to this discussion." ”
Zhong Tingzhi exchanged a look with Chao Tingzhi at this time, then saluted to the top and said: "First Executive, all Ting Executives, through Zhang Shouzheng's matter, it can be seen that there are still many hidden and dormant alien gods and monsters in my Tianxia.
My Tianxia territory is vast, and Shangchentian is very likely to attack me soon, so I am afraid that Zhang Shouzheng will not be able to take care of it alone, so Zhong proposed that he might as well set up another position to defend the integrity so as to deal with this matter. ”
Chen Tingzhi nodded and said, "Zhong Tingzhi's words are also realistic, and this is not impossible. ”
The Yusu Dao people did not object at this moment. Because in his opinion, in the current situation, it is also necessary to establish a righteous position, Zhong Tingzhi did not propose it indiscriminately, but saw the opportunity, thinking that Xuan Ting really needed to put it forward.
And the court officials on the table are also biased towards this suggestion.
Shang Chentian tried his best to make them use the Qingtian Astrolabe last time, if it was invaded this time, it would not be so simple, and it would be okay to have one more upright support.
Dai Gonghan asked Zhong Tingzhi at this time: "Since Zhong Tingzhi has this proposal, he doesn't know who he wants?"
Zhong Ting said: "Zhong recommended a person, who is Mei Shang Mei Daoyou. ”
Dai Gonghan was surprised: "Is it a clear line?"
Zhong Ting said: "Although Mei Shang Daoyou is in the Zhengqing lineage, they can be expelled for three hundred years, they have atoned for their crimes in this lineage, and now they have given out the base, which can be regarded as a return to Tianxia, and they have also justified their names after the last Qing Dynasty." As you all know, Mei Daoyou had already attained enlightenment when Tianxia arrived here, and he was upright, no matter what his merits and qualifications were, it was enough. ”
The first Taoist saw that a person had not yet spoken, so he simply looked at him and said, "What does Chao Ting think?"
Chao Huan said: "I thought it was okay, but the situation is so serious, how can one be upright? He shook his sleeves, stood up, and said to the top, "Chao hereby recommends Zhu Feng and Zhu Xuanzun to be upright." ”
Zhong Tingzhi frowned and said: "Chao Tingzhi, Zhu Xuanzun has just returned to Tianxia, and the past is blurry......
Chao Huan said confidently: "Since Mei Shang can, why can't Zhu Feng?" Zhu Feng has no precedent for being expelled, before the invasion of Shangchentian, Zhu Xuanzun also secretly reminded Yu Zhang Shouzheng, which made me discover the enemy's traces in time, isn't this already proving itself?"
Zhong Tingzhi said in a deep voice: "Zhong still has some doubts about this. ”
Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone understood what he meant, implying that Zhu Feng's move might be done on a false purpose, so as to gain Tianxia's trust and seek greater benefits in this way.
On the surface, this seems reasonable, and there are possibilities, but it is extremely small, who knows that Xuan Ting will let her be a guardian one day? No matter how good Shangchen Tian's calculation is, it can't be counted at this point.
When Chao Tingzhi heard Zhong Tingzhi say this, he immediately came to his senses and said: "Zhong Tingzhi, if you want to talk about doubts, wouldn't Zhengqing's lineage be even more suspicious? Cen Chuan and Mei Shang are back, but that Zhengqing said that he is in retreat, but who knows what he is doing? According to Zhong Tingzhi, this is a big doubt. ”
The first Taoist said at this time: "Okay, the two of you pay attention to proportion, whether it is Zhu Xuanzun or Mei Xuanzun, since they have returned to Tianxia, they are fellow Daoists, my generation should not be suspicious, and there is no need to say it again." ”
When everyone heard him say this, they all made a joke on the seat.
Chen Tingzhi said: "First Executive, Mei Shang used to be sincere, and it is okay to be upright, Zhu Feng, I also know a little, this female Taoist has no bad deeds in addition to her high spirit. Since Chao Tingzhi recommended Zhu Feng, let her be included in the list of people who make up the order, and then make a final conclusion after asking her what she means. ”
The first Daoist nodded, he looked at everyone, and said, "Do you have any other suggestions?"
No one in the room said anything more.
In fact, most court officials don't have much opinion on this. Because whether it is Mei Shang or Zhu Feng, even if these two are upright, they are not as regular as Zhang Yu, even if there is anything wrong, they can take back their positions at any time, they are still under the control of Xuanting, and there will be no big mess.
Seeing that no one was different, the first Taoist said, "Then this matter is decided." ”
Because all the discussions were decided, as soon as the chime bell rang in the field, the court officials saluted each other, and then dispersed.
After Zhong Tingzhi returned to the Miaohao Dao Palace, he replaced a Taoist boy and said, "You go to the Nether Realm, go to Changhe Fuzhou, and ask Mei Daoyou to come over for a while, and say that I have something to explain to him." ”
Dao Tong took the order and left.
On the other side, the Ming Zhou Daoist was ordered to come to Zhu Feng's dojo, and this trip was to inquire about her own wishes on behalf of Xuanting.
Zhu Feng has been practicing in the dojo for a few days, and she hasn't gone anywhere, and when she heard that Xuan Ting wanted to appoint her as a guard, she couldn't help but be surprised, and she asked suspiciously, "Why did Xuan Ting let me take this position?"
Ming Zhou Daoren said about the matter in the court, and said: "Zhu Xuanzun's request this time is because of Chao Tingzhi's recommendation, but this proposal is not forced, if Zhu Xuanzun is unwilling, he can also push it." ”
Zhu Feng rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Why should I push it back?"
Although it is a little dangerous to become a shouzheng, she has the power of protection, and she can walk without self-confidence, and Cen Chuan couldn't do anything to her back then. And for the sake of righteousness, there is also a reward for Xuanliang, which can be very beneficial to cultivation.
She didn't work hard here in the past, not because she didn't want to, but because she knew that she didn't have this hope.
Chao Huan, the court deacon, she has also heard of it for a long time, but she also knows that this person has never talked about so-called human feelings, it is okay if you ignore him, you have to thank him, but he may be sarcastic.
She thought for a while and said, "I heard from fellow Daoists, there must be two people to keep the integrity this time, I don't know who the other one is?"
Ming Zhou Taoist said: "It's Mei Shang Mei Xuanzun." ”
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and nodded: "It's also an old acquaintance." She smiled, bowed, and said, "Daoyou Mingzhou, thank you for coming to tell me, I took over this righteous position." ”
