Chapter 17: The Dark Tide Surging (Part II)
"I knew I could meet Zhizhong here, thank you, isn't this a chess game with Si Ming?" as he spoke, he saw a man with a white face and a beard and a man dressed as a Confucian scholar. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The white-faced and black-bearded man has attentive eyes, a high forehead and a sharp nose, and at first glance he is the kind of shrewd and capable person. Judging from the fact that this person can enter and exit this place at will, and can also speak freely here, his status should not be low.
"Oh, Prime Minister Wei Yuanji didn't come by his own accord, why didn't my subordinates keep you out of the door?" Zhang Ziheng said as soon as he saw someone coming.
It turned out that this white-faced and black-bearded man was one of the ruling golden immortals of the Five Mountains and Seven Mansions, and he was Wei Yuanji, the prime minister of the Agricultural Mansion!
"Just those immortals who ordered you, who didn't nod their heads when they saw me, as if I was the master of this Void Tomb Cave. Don't look at Zhang Ziheng's words, it sounds a little sarcastic, but in Wei Yuanji's opinion, this is a joke that the relationship between the two sides is deep.
"I'm afraid that the prime minister's temperament will be difficult to change for a lifetime. Huang Zhongyue also nodded at the two of them, and there is no big occasion at the moment, so the number of etiquette can be arbitrary.
After Wei Yuanji sat down, he looked at Zhang Ziheng with a smile, and said, "I'm afraid that Si Ming already knew that the two of us would come, otherwise, how could you let the two of me come in so swaggeringly?"
Regarding Wei Yuanji's words, Zhang Ziheng was noncommittal, but looked at Tang Zicheng and said: "I calculated that you would come to the door, which is not surprising at all, but Tang Zicheng is a rare guest." Now that the catastrophe has just passed, it is said that there should be immortal officials in the town realm and the gods of the frontier in various parts of the human world, and it is said that the supervision gods of the mountain gods, the land gods, and the gods of the city god should come like falling snow. You are in charge of the Quartet Immortal Officials in the world, and at this time, instead of selecting the Concert to be presented to the Dongyue Holy Emperor, you walked with Wei Yuanji?"
The man dressed as a Confucian scholar looks like a regular person, an ordinary public face, without any features. But this person is also one of the golden immortals in power in Wuyue and Seven Mansions, and he is the servant of the Zaifu Xie Tang Zicheng!
Tang Zicheng was not polite in front of Si Ming Zhang Ziheng, nodded and found a random place to sit down, and then said: "If it were in the past, although these pieces would give me a big headache, I would still be able to deal with it somewhat." But right now, there is another thing that I don't know what to do, but I came to explore with Si Ming. ”
When Tang Zicheng spoke, Wei Yuanji looked serious, glanced around at all the golden immortals present, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, presumably Wang De has returned to Wuyue Weiwei Province this time, and you and others all know about it, right?"
Hearing this, Huang Zhongyue immediately said: "It turns out that the two of you are also here for this matter, but they coincide with me. ”
"Seeing that you can play a chess game against Si Ming here, I know that you must be here for this as well. Wei Yuanji glanced at Huang Zhongyue, nodded and continued: "In the past, Wang De led the position of provincial leader of Wuyue Weiwei Province, and relied on the Holy Emperor Holy Scroll to promote his cronies in Wuyue Weiwei Province. Among them, Wang De, who could only be the generalissimo of the earth immortals, promoted many immortals to overstep the ranks, although Wang De did not dare to blatantly fight the idea of the spirit officer, but this precedent had to admit that it had been torn apart by the other party. Now, the other party is about to take up his post in the Wuyue Officials' Mansion, and with his style in Wuyue Weiwei Province, I am afraid that the immortal officials of the entire human world will be made into a miasma by this person. When that time comes, how can we control the grassroots immortal officials under our respective hands?"
The seven prefectures, three provinces, one court and one division of Wuyue Prefecture can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the civilian jurisdiction department, the seven governments, one court and one division are all listed here, and the other is the military jurisdiction department, which is especially the case in the three provinces.
Specifically, the general civilian department will not meddle in the affairs of the military department, and even if something happens that needs to be discussed with each other, it is always controlled on the basis of not crossing the line as much as possible, and vice versa.
All the immortal officials and immortal positions in the Wuyue Mansion of the entire human realm are not just said to be if they want to. Such as the three provinces of the martial arts, Liuding Liujia and Tianding Lishi generally serve as Yang God and Yin God, this kind of immortal position is collectively called the immortal soldier, which is the most unpopular immortal position, and its exact Taoism lies in the fact that it is beyond the scope of the monk, but it has not really crossed the immortal tribulation, and it is probably called the scattered immortal.
The top is the position of the general, which is mainly served by the immortals of the immortal position, although this kind of immortal position has a bit of power, on the surface it seems to be infinite, and some immortal soldiers can be recruited, in fact, the white point is not the role of cannon fodder, don't you know how much the general of this human immortal does not know how much to die under the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Then it is for the marshal, which is mainly served by the immortals of the earth immortal position, and only in this position can it be regarded as a real power immortal, although the marshal will occasionally charge into the field, but at least he does not have to rush to the front line as cannon fodder like the immortal soldiers and immortal generals.
And the marshal is also the highest category of immortal positions in the martial arts department, if you continue to go up, it will be a spirit official who is different from the immortal position. However, this spirit official is even more difficult, there are a total of 3,650 spirit officials who are really fiercely competitive, unless they are true immortals who have attained the Dao, then there is no need to think about these.
This spiritual official is also called a watershed of luck by the immortals of Wuyue Mansion, and you can enjoy the blessings of luck in the human world after passing, and if you can't get by, you will continue to be your immortal forever. That is, a little power to let you run your head, once something happens, you have to go into battle in person, and whether you can survive at that time depends on your own creation of immortal duties.
Previously, Wang De served as the provincial leader of Wuyue Guard, and the position of marshal that should have been appointed and dismissed by the earth immortal position Wang De was actually forcibly promoted to the position of human immortal, which almost broke the tradition of the immortal official position of the entire Wuyue Mansion in the human world.
Such a move seems to be like dropping a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples, far-reaching impact, I am afraid that all the low-level immortals in the entire human world have been whetted by Wang De's move, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are ready to move.
After all, what immortal is willing to be an errand guard forever and a miscellaneous immortal soldier who patrols and communicates? Who wants to be used as cannon fodder when war comes? This move by Wang De is simply a big picture for all the low-level immortals, so that all the low-level immortals can see at least a little hope.
As soon as Wei Yuanji's words fell, Tang Zicheng continued: "This Wang De did nothing in Wuyue Weiwei Province before, after all, it was a headache for the military department, but now Wang De is about to be transferred to the civilian department to take office, and now I can't tolerate this gentleman not to worry." ”
To put it bluntly, if the immortals who are appointed to the immortal position have the opportunity, which one doesn't want to go to the next level? Wang De's reckless behavior before made the low-level immortals in the martial arts department ready to move. Now, if this Wang De also does such a trick in the civil department, the wildfire in the hearts of the low-level immortals in the civil service department will really be ignited by Wang De.
Don't look at the appearance of this wildfire being weak and can't help the wind, although it is still very weak, but if Wang De continues to fan the wind and ignite the flames, I am afraid that the wildfire will be enough to set the prairie on fire.
At that time, it is foreseeable that almost all immortals with immortal positions will begin to target higher-level immortal officials, intentionally or unintentionally. In the same way, the immortal officials will have to face a problem at that time, that is, the immortal immortals under their command will begin to disobey the requisition and act without obeying orders.
You say suppress, it's not that the immortal officials don't have that way, and it's not that they don't have that means. But the problem is that once the suppression begins, all the immortal officials will definitely turn against the immortals, which is simply more than worth the loss.
This can't be done, that can't be done? Then what else can be done, the only way that is not a way is to demote the official, once a subordinate wants to commit a crime, he will immediately demote his immortal position. But the problem finally came back, from the position of immortal officials in the human world to the immortal duties of serving tea and running errands, almost all of them were in the hands of the internal history of the officials' mansions, and Wang De, who was immortal, was in charge of the internal history of the appointment and dismissal of immortal officials in the human world!
In other words, Wang Decai is the dead knot of this matter, if this dead knot is not untied for a day, then this matter can make all the immortal officials like a piercing bone in their throats.
For a while, the scene was a little weird, but no one spoke. Seeing this, Tang Zicheng had to ask: "Previously, many True Monarch Immortal Officials had already sent their names to Wuyue Weiwei Province, and they wanted to attach themselves to Wang De openly. Now there are also a few immortals who are eager to try, do you have any tips for this matter?"
The bell must be tied to the bell, not all the immortal officials have the golden immortal immortal position, for most of the immortal officials who are just true immortal immortals, Wang De is too terrible, and before he took office in the official mansion, all the immortal officials and the immortal position were opposed. Although the consequences of this confrontation are not as serious as those of rebellion, at least it is still possible to be lazy and follow the rules.
Although the immortal officials are the mainstay of the entire human world of the Wuyue Mansion, if there is no immortal position, these mainstays will probably have to panic first. Yes, this is why so many true immortals will find Wang De, not to mention whether they really plan to rely on Wang De, at least they still have to ask for a reassurance from Wang De.
Wei Yuanji was stunned when he heard this, and said bitterly: "Servant Xie Mo is going to make a joke about this gentleman, if this gentleman has a clever plan, why do you need to appear here?"
"Well, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about it. Huang Zhongyue let out a leisurely sigh, and then said what Zhang Ziheng had said to himself before to Wei Yuanji and Tang Zicheng again.
"Is this Wang De really a saint to such a point?" Wei Yuanji frowned, and was very puzzled by the Dongyue Holy Emperor protecting Wang De so much.
It stands to reason that although Wang De has the skill of saving the driver, this skill has obviously not reached the level of splashing the sky. First, there was the position of the internal history of the Wuyue Officials' Mansion, and then there were all kinds of nine-turn elixirs that even the golden immortals here envied, and not long ago, it was one of the twelve immortal mountains!
None of you here are existences that have gone through several catastrophes of heaven and earth, and it is not an exaggeration to say that people are old and refined. Obviously, Dongyue Holy Emperor's attitude towards Wang De is not reasonable, and it is okay to say that it is a strange thing.
Seeing that the scene once again fell into a strange atmosphere, Zhang Ziheng, who was the master of this place, couldn't help but speak: "Just wait for the great court meeting, I will join forces again to advise once......
