Chapter 93: Executing the Order and Correcting the Law
Chen Shouzhi's acting style is much tougher than Zhuang Shouzhi's. Of course, this is also because the situation when Zhuang Shouzhi was in office was different from now.
It can be said that there were internal and external troubles at that time, and the internal affairs must be comforted as much as possible. Even if he was in power at that time, he still had to compromise on some overall issues. His own considerations, likes and dislikes were very secondary things.
But it's different now.
Tianxia's internal situation is basically stable. The biggest threat comes from Yuanxia. If Shangchentian had a certain possibility of impacting Tianxia at the beginning, then Yuanxia now can really destroy Tianxia, and its strength is still obvious.
Stronger than Tianxia.
Under such a severe situation, Tianxia's current code of conduct is to fight against Yuanxia. Anyone who delays or fails to cooperate in this matter is his enemy.
When Taoist Fang asked Zhuang Shouzhi twice to become a Tingzhi, he had personally experienced it. At that time, he was very dissatisfied with this person's behavior.
He believed that if people like this entered Xuanting, they would not only break the rules of Tianxia, but also bring endless hidden dangers to Xuanting, which was originally running smoothly.
And now, it was even more impossible for him to give in because of this person's proposal.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Wu Tingzhi said: "If we reject him, Chief Zhi, we will have to follow the previous plan and announce Xuanting's big strategy to all our colleagues one by one."
Zhang Yu spoke at this time: "Yu thought that he had to ignore Fang Jinglin."
Chen Shouzhi looked at him and said, "What is Zhang Tingzhi's plan?"
Zhang Yu raised his eyes and looked at Chen Shouzhi and said: "Yu Zhizhi suggests, capture this person as soon as possible!"
Wu Tingzhi was stunned and glanced at him, but then he seemed to think of something and was also thinking about it.
There was no surprise on Chen Shouzhi's face, he nodded and said, "What's the reason?"
Zhang Yudao: "This Fang Shangzun said that he could make these fellow cultivators in the sea of clouds listen to his comfort and obey Xuan Ting's arrangements. Then can it be said that he can also make these fellow practitioners disobey Xuan Ting's orders?
Or is it that he is the one who is leading the instigation behind all the fellow cultivators who are unwilling to cooperate with Xuan Ting?"
At this point, he paused for a moment and then said: "If we give in, perhaps these fellow cultivators will know that it is okay to fight against Xuanting. As long as this Lord Fang takes the lead, then Xuanting can be defeated."
Compromise for it, if it succeeds this time, it may be possible next time, so this trend must be suppressed!"
He believes that it is precisely because there are Taoists who are connected inside and use these fellow practitioners to benefit themselves that it is not so easy to push forward the purge.
It is also because of this person's presence that everyone has the idea of confrontation.
This leader cannot be ignored and must be eliminated.
Chen Shouzhi said: "How is Zhang Tingzhi going to deal with this matter?"
Zhang Yudao: "It's still wartime now. All we need to do is issue a conscription order to him. If he is willing to serve, then the others can be easily persuaded. We will make arrangements one by one at that time. But if he refuses the conscription order, then
It is a clear violation of Xuan Ting's wartime order. As a royal guard, I should go and correct it myself!"
He looked at Chen Shouzhi and Wu Tingzhi and said: "Yu Su Tingzhi has a saying that is right. Some people are unwilling to contribute to Tianxia, but that's it. On the contrary, they may become internal troubles, so it's better to throw them away.
It’s better to stay in prison.”
Chen Shouzhi looked at Wu Tingzhi and said, "Wu Tingzhi, do you have any suggestions for Zhang Tingzhi on this matter?"
Wu Tingzhi said in a deep voice: "Zhang Tingzhi's method is indeed a way to solve this matter. Wu has no objection to it."
He knew very well that when Chen Shouzhi did not agree to give Fang Tao Rentingzhi the position, there were not many solutions. It was just that he wanted to announce Xuanting's strategy to fellow Qian cultivators. If things didn't work out,
Then target Taoist Fang instead of attacking this person as soon as he comes up. This seems too targeted.
However, Zhang Yu's way of thinking is not like this. It is indeed in line with the order of things to announce to everyone and then take action if things don't go well.
But as he said, this is wartime, and some things don't need to follow established procedures, just go straight to the results.
Those true cultivators uphold the ancient thoughts and have always respected strength. Whoever has profound Taoism will naturally make sense. Taoist Fang has already perfected the Taoism, and they are also among the top group in Tianxia.
The specific strength is not clear to the cultivators below until there is a real comparison.
When there is no record of any achievements, the Taoists may be more willing to believe that Taoist Fang is the person with the highest Taoism among his peers. Firstly, where is the age of his cultivation, and secondly, this person is closer to them.
So this time he not only wanted to control him from a moral point of view, but also suppressed him from a strength point of view, so that the rest of the generation would naturally change their attitude.
At this moment, Chen Shouzhi saw that Wu Tingzhi had no objection, so he called out, "Ming Zhou."
There was a flash of light under the steps, and Taoist Master Mingzhou appeared there. He bowed his head and said, "Mingzhou is here, please give me your instructions."
Chen Shouzhi said in a deep voice: "Pass on my order to recruit Fang Jinglin, a latent cultivator from Tianxia, to serve Xuanting. He will be given two days to respond."
Taoist Ming Zhou bowed his head and said: "Ming Zhou obeys the order." After bowing, he disappeared.
Chen Shouzhi said to Zhang Yu again: "Zhang Tingzhi, you can go back first and wait for a reply in two days."
Zhang Yu nodded, raised his sleeves and saluted Mr. Chen, and then left.
Wu Tingzhi stood still and said: "Chief, with Zhang Tingzhi's fighting power, Wu does not doubt that he can win this battle. He is just using force to intimidate him for a while, but there are hidden dangers."
, if we encounter someone stronger than Yuan Xia in the future, I am afraid many people will be shaken."
Chen Shouzhi said in a deep voice: "If everyone has the same mind, why would Tian Xia need so many rules? Rules and order are used to restrain these thoughts. We want these people who don't care about Tian Xia's rules to have
What’s the use? It’s better to remove these carrion earlier.”
He looked outside and said: "What's more, Changsun Tingzhi's work is progressing smoothly. When Changsun Tingzhi successfully builds the outer body, we will use the outer body to fight against the enemy. What we fight for is the outer body."
After all, even if someone has that intention, they won’t have the chance."
After Zhang Yu walked out of the airspace, he returned to the Qingxuan Dao Palace in a flash of thought. He stepped up the steps and sat down on the couch.
In his judgment, given Taoist Fang's obsession, he would not accept the call so easily. In fact, if Taoist Fang accepts the call directly and then violates it later, it will be even more difficult to deal with it. But no matter what the result is,
, he must be prepared for this battle.
He reached out and took out a roll of roster. It contained some records about Taoist Fang. There was not much ink on it. After all, these were recorded by the monks themselves. It was very easy to conceal his own strength. He
I also hope to see a lot from it, just to get a little understanding.
After reading it, he closed his eyes and began to adjust his breath.
Two days flew by.
At a certain moment, a slight movement occurred in his heart, and he had a feeling, and he opened his eyes. He knew that the situation had developed in the direction he had expected.
There was a flash of light in the hall, and Taoist Master Mingzhou appeared below. Jishou said: "Reporting to Tingzhi, Fang Shangzun declined Xuanting's call."
Zhang Yu nodded calmly, stood up from his seat slowly, stood there and said: "Fellow Taoist Mingzhou, please go and tell the chief executive, and I will go and carry out Tianxia's laws."
After saying this, he rolled up his sleeves, walked out of the main hall, and came to the outside of the Taoist Palace. The god on duty had already prepared a flying chariot here. He got on the chariot, sat down on the soft couch, and then
As a car drove by, the light rose and the melodious bells rang, as they drifted away into the depths of the sea of clouds.
Chen Shouzhi was observing an array weapon in the airspace at the moment. Taoist priest Ming Zhou appeared at the foot of the stairs, and the Jishou reported: "Shou Zhi, Zhang Tingzhi has gone to apprehend Fang Shangzun."
Chen Shouzhi paused slightly and said: "Send an order to close all communication channels. Everyone should sit in the Taoist palace and don't let unnecessary people get involved."
Taoist Ming Zhou bowed his head and said, "Ming Zhou understands."
The speeding car flew through the air, and just a moment later, it arrived at the place where it had been last time. At this moment, the sea of clouds in front of it separated layer by layer, and the car stopped on the cliff of the flying island before.
Zhang Yu slowly came down from the chariot and came to the Taoist Palace. Taoist Fang was already standing there to greet him, bowed his head and said, "Zhang Tingzhi.
Zhang Yu also bowed before putting down his robe sleeves and said: "Fang Shangzun, a summons from Xuanting came before, but you refused?"
Taoist Fang looked relaxed, nodded and said: "Yes, I did not agree, but unfortunately this is not the answer I want." He raised his head slightly and looked at Zhang Yu, "Zhang Tingzhi knows what I want."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "This is war time. Fang Shangzun has violated the laws of Tianxia by refusing Xuanting's call. In the name of being in charge of Xuanting and guarding the palace, I will capture those who disobey orders."
Fang Jinglin." He looked at Taoist Fang Xing and said, "Fang Shangzun, please come with me now."
The smile on Taoist Fang's face slowly faded, he stared at him and said, "You want to capture me?"
Zhang Yu said: "I thought I had made it very clear just now."
Taoist Fang suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had discovered something funny. Then he slowly looked at him and said, "I have done great service for Xuan Ting. Even the chief executive of the village has never taken me. Are you here to take me?"
Zhang Yuping said: "The leader of the village cares about the overall situation, but also misses the old friendship. He thinks that if Fang Shangzun can put down his obsession and serve Tianxia, he will still be able to obtain the position of Yitingzhi. But it is different now. The enemy is facing us.
The rules must be strict, Your Majesty, if you come with me back, you can be more polite, but if you don't, then I will treat you the same way I would treat transgressors."
