In the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, the Jade Emperor once again summoned Deng Jiugong, this time it was still the two monarchs and ministers. It's just that after Deng Jiugong saluted, the Jade Emperor looked at him like this and didn't say a word.

Not long ago, Taishang Laojun came to him with the Three Gourd Golden Pill, and the Taoist sect planned to repair and marry with Heavenly Court.

For this kind of good thing, the Jade Emperor naturally would not refuse, and Yang Chan was his niece, so he immediately agreed. But after calming down, he didn't know how to talk openly to Deng Jiu.

Deng Jiugong was a little inexplicable, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the so-called recruitment of ministers is." ”

"Deng Qing, I want to reconcile with Taoism and develop together. You are a servant of the humerus, and I want to hear your opinion. "The Jade Emperor plans to start with the relationship between the two families first and see Deng Jiugong's reaction.

Deng Jiugong was a little surprised, so he said: "The minister is against reconciling with Taoism. "The Jade Emperor has a lot of opinions on Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he will take the initiative to mention the reconciliation of the two families, which is very strange.

The Jade Emperor's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Tell me your opinion." ”

Deng Jiu said fairly: "Heavenly Court, Taoism and Buddhism are three-legged, among which Taoism is the most powerful, if Heavenly Court and Taoism are reconciled, the tripartite balance will be broken." In this way, in order to protect itself, Buddhism will inevitably choose to make friends with Taoism, which will lead to a sharp rise in Taoist power, and the forces of Heaven and Buddhism will become foils. ”

Historically, there are countless examples of this, the most famous of which is in the middle of the Warring States Period, when Qi and Qin became friendly, Qin had no external threat, and its power increased greatly, and finally the army swallowed the six countries, which was a tactical paralysis method.

The Jade Emperor said: "What you said is also what I am worried about, but if it is a nominal alliance. ”

The so-called nominal alliance means that the Heavenly Court does not interfere in the affairs of Taoism, and Taoism does not interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Court.

Deng Jiu said fairly: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the minister thinks that the alliance between the two sides is of little significance. ”

The Jade Emperor said: "Deng Qing's words are wrong, with this name, Sanqing's attitude towards me will definitely change, and this is the benefit." Moreover, in order to show the sincerity of this alliance, Taoism plans to marry Yang Chan to Deng Qing. ”

In the eyes of the Jade Emperor, it is almost whimsical to let a saint like Sanqing be respectful in front of him, but it seems that it is not difficult for them to maintain the respect they deserve for themselves.

"What, let the minister marry Yang Chan. ”

Deng Jiugong was shocked and looked at the Jade Emperor in disbelief. He just killed the two golden immortals of Taoism, Yuan Shi Tianzun was only afraid of hating himself in his heart, he would kindly marry Yang Chan to himself, there was no conspiracy in this, and he didn't believe it when he was killed.

"This thing is really surprising, it's just that Deng Qing has been fighting with Taoism for so many years, and Taoism has suffered heavy losses, and now you are an important minister of the Heavenly Court, they know that they can't do anything, and it makes sense to use this family affair to resolve their hatred with you. ”

At first, the Jade Emperor didn't believe that Yuan Shi Tianzun would be so kind, but under the persuasion of Taishang Laojun, he gradually believed it. After all, Yuan Shi Tianzun can't get along with Deng Jiugong, and he can't get along with Heavenly Court, and the two sides really want to make a move, even if Taoism wins, I'm afraid that it will be a big loss of vitality, and it will not be taken by the wise.

Deng Jiu said fairly: "Having said that, but with the minister's understanding of Yuan Shi Tianzun, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple." ”

Yuan Shi Tianzun, the way of deep conspiracy, if he didn't have a prophetic vision, I am afraid that this time he will be careless in the hands of Guangchengzi.

The Jade Emperor smiled: "Deng Qing, you think too much. Taishang Laojun himself said that I will make the decision for you when I am happy. Besides, I heard about the matter between you and Yang Chan, which can be regarded as a good fate!"

Deng Jiugong's eyes widened, his mind was full of incredulity, such a big matter, since the Jade Emperor didn't discuss it with him, "This, Your Majesty, the minister is busy with everything, and he really doesn't have time to think about marriage, besides, cultivating and seeking the avenue is what the minister wants to do the most, please take back your majesty's life." ”

The Jade Emperor was embarrassed: "Deng Qing, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I, as the lord of the Three Realms, Chrysostom and Jade Words, if I take back the words I said, my face will be damaged, and the majesty of Heaven will be swept away." Deng Qing is dedicated to the heavenly court and is loyal to me, is he willing to see such a result. For the sake of the great plan of the heavenly court, you reluctantly agreed to this family business. ”

Deng Jiugong was stunned, he had always designed others and played with others in applause, even if he was a saint, but now that he was put together by Yuan Shi Tianzun and the Jade Emperor, he was very unhappy, but the Jade Emperor agreed, what else could he do except accept it.

If he had just crossed over, he would be able to marry a beautiful fairy like Yang Chan, and Deng Jiugong would wake up laughing if he was in a dream. Now, in addition to a little surprise, there are more doubts.

......

As soon as he returned to Ziwei Palace, he heard that Fu Yuan Xianweng and Shen Gongbao were coming, Deng Jiugong frowned, thinking that these two must have come for the marriage. Anyway, the person who came was a guest, and Deng Jiugong asked Bian Ji to take the two to the side hall.

"Poor Dao congratulates the emperor, the marriage has been completed, and it will add joy to the heavenly court. ”

Fu Yuan Xian Weng had a smile on his face, he matched Deng Jiugong and Princess Longji in front of the Jade Emperor, but the two of them had no fate, and in the end they cheapened Yang Chan. In his opinion, Yang Chan's marriage to Deng Jiugong can be regarded as climbing a high branch, after all, whether it is realm cultivation or status, the difference between the two is 108,000 miles.

Deng Jiugong smiled and said: "The two of you are so well-informed, Deng has just come back from the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and you have come to congratulate you." If this is a good relationship, it is in line with the icing on the cake. ”

Fu Yuan Immortal Weng blushed and glanced at Shen Gongbao. Shen Gongbao said: "It's not a secret, Your Majesty is worried that the emperor will be depressed about this matter, so let us come over to explain." ”

Deng Jiu said fairly: "The two of you came just in time, this marriage came inexplicably and wonderfully, Deng was quite puzzled in his heart. Two people need to analyze it, one person is short, two people are long, and three people can top one Zhuge Liang. ”

Shen Gongbao was puzzled: "Who is Zhuge Liang, could it be that this person's wisdom is stronger than that of the emperor." ”

Deng Jiugong was stunned and said perfunctorily: "It's okay if this person doesn't say it." Two, I have a lot of jade liquid elixir in this palace, which is rewarded by the queen mother, go to the back garden, and we will talk about wine. ”

Fu Yuan Immortal Weng's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "It's good to have wine, today we won't get drunk and won't return." ”

He is a good wine immortal, and every time he goes to Yaochi to attend a meeting, he smiles a flower on his face. When Shen Gongbao was in the lower realm, he often traveled back and forth to the three mountains and five mountains to get acquainted with the immortals, and wine was an indispensable thing, so he also loved wine for ten minutes.

Deng Jiugong hurriedly asked the fairy boy in the house to prepare wine, and took the two of them to the back garden, wine was just a dispensable thing for him, but whenever he was depressed, he would drink a few cups.
