Chapter 88: The wind and clouds come from all directions
In the middle of November of the year 382, the chime bell rang slowly above the sea of clouds in the clear sky, and all the court officials appeared one by one on the long river of light.
None of the Tingzhi who participated in the court meeting last time came this time.
The first Taoist priest first ordered the Taoist boy to send the submission submitted by the Yujing court to the officials of each court for viewing, and then asked everyone for their opinions.
After discussing for a while, everyone finally decided to add a protective palace as a continent on each of the four directions of the thirteen continents, and the remaining ones would be decided later.
Among them, there are three places in the north, west and south. Because the Duhufu are not much different from each other in these three directions, and the remaining Duhufu are relatively rare, so after some small discussion, a conclusion was quickly reached, but
When it was the turn of the Protectorate outside the East China Sea, there was controversy.
On top of the submission, the Yujing court submitted a total of five Protectorate Houses for reference, and each listed its shortcomings and strengths in the book. But who would have known that three of them were just used for embellishment, among which
The most important ones are the Dragon Ya Protectorate and the Dongting Protectorate.
The Dongting Protectorate is far away at the eastern end of the Tianxia territory, guarding a piece of land. It goes without saying how important this place is.
The Dragon Tooth Protectorate guards the island pass. There is a water hole under the island where it is located. According to the investigation, it seems that there is a vast land inside, and there are various indigenous gods living there. It seems to be very important.
.
At this time, Taoist Zhong stood up from his seat and said: "Chief Executive, all court officials, please listen to Zhong Mou's words. Zhong Mou thinks that the Dragon Ya Protector's Mansion is a suitable place to establish a continent.
After the turbulent tide passed, the Dragon Ya Protectorate was the first to light the beacon fire, and was also the first to return from the east. This shows the sincerity of everyone in the Protectorate. Moreover, the capital has a large population, about four hundred
More than 80% of the remaining 10,000 people are Tianxia purebloods, with only a minority of native mixed-bloods. However, of the three million people in the Dongting Protectorate, only one million are purebloods. This is extremely inappropriate."
When Wei Tingzhi heard this, he immediately retorted: "Even though they are of mixed blood, over the past hundred years, these people have been educated by our Tianxia rituals and music, know etiquette and understand writing, and they are no different from the pure-blooded people of Tianxia. Zhong
Tingzhi said this, please forgive Wei for not agreeing with it."
However, Zhong Daoren said: "Wei Tingzhi, Zhong does not look down upon these mixed-race people. People in the world are no different regardless of their bloodline in our eyes. How can Zhong be as intolerant as the people in the world?
But Wei Ting must not forget one thing. Nowadays, these mixed-race people are more likely to be bewitched by strange gods. This is an indisputable fact. Since we established the capital to strengthen the inner defense, naturally we cannot ignore it.
Something wrong.”
Wei Tingzhi shook his head and said: "Zhong Tingzhi also said that those people are all human beings. In the past, the Xuanshou of the Protectorate was only in the middle position. There were changes in his life, so it was naturally difficult to defend him. But once the mansion is turned into a continent, it will be easy."
Xuan Zun or Xuan Zun's incarnation is guarding the lower realm. As long as you pay a little attention, there will be no hindrance.
Furthermore, after establishing the continent, I will surely migrate from the mainland to fill the gap with the population, which will be multiple than the original one, so I will not have to worry about this anymore."
Zhong Daoren said: "Since there are flaws, why not wipe them out early? If they are still there, aren't you asking for trouble? Zhong thinks that those mixed-race people should be moved to the mainland, so that they will be safe, and the Dragon Teeth Protectorate
It is especially close to the mainland and there are fewer mixed-race people, making it easier to do this."
Wei Tingzhi shook his head and said: "Zhong Tingzhi is too cautious by doing this."
While the two were arguing, they heard the sound of a chime. Everyone turned around and saw that the sound was coming from Zhu Yisheng's seat.
Zhu Yisheng stood up at this time, bowed his head to the people sitting on the seat, and said: "Chief Executive, all court officials, please allow Zhu to say a few words."
The first Taoist nodded and said, "Zhu Tingzhi, please speak."
Zhu Yisheng looked at the crowd and said: "Zhu has been in charge of Qingyang for seventy years. Before that, I had witnessed the return of all the governors of the East China Sea. But in my opinion, the governor of Dongting is better than the governor of Longya.
The government will be upgraded to Lizhou Prefecture."
Having said this, he paused and said: "Most of the reasons for this have actually been stated in the reports submitted by Yujing and the various governors. I will not reiterate them here. I will only say that they have not been mentioned in the previous chapters.
Talk about things.
The terrain of the Dragon Tooth Protectorate is unique, with two gorges facing each other. There are sea, land and water eyes in the middle. It looks dangerous, but as long as this formation is set up, variables can be prevented. However, the East Courtyard is different. It faces a vast expanse.
There are countless strange gods and monsters dormant in the land and deep inland.
And I am only separated from this land by an ocean. For my generation, what is the difference between this and open belly? Faced with such a situation, there is no natural danger to defend. This is extremely inappropriate. If there are outside cultivators
Falling here and being connected with the indigenous gods is a serious problem! Therefore, this place must be taken care of!
If you want to mention the Longya Protectorate as Shangzhou, Zhu will not object, but Zhu thinks that the expansion of Dongting Island should be done before Longya!"
After he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and sat down again.
But on the long river of light, many court officials fell into thinking.
The Taoist leader seemed to have thought of something at this time and nodded slightly.
Wei Tingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Wei agrees with Zhu Tingzhi's opinion that the first step is to expand the Dongting Protectorate into Fuzhou."
Chen Tingzhi said in a deep voice: "The original purpose of establishing the East Courtyard was to build a palace to guard it outside the East China Sea. This wish must now be fulfilled."
While speaking, he picked up the jade mallet and struck it hard on the jade chime, and the sound of the chime suddenly spread out.
Wei Tingzhi did not hesitate to ring the jade chime.
After thinking about it, the court officials also rang the bells in front of them one after another. Unexpectedly, Taoist Zhong did not insist on it. He also picked up the jade mallet and struck it.
But at this time, Chao Huan raised his eyebrows, stood up from his seat, and said, "Everyone, I have something to say."
The Taoist leader looked at him and said, "I wonder if Chao Tingzhi has any objections?"
Chao Huan said: "I just looked at the documents sent by Yujing Palace. There are attachments from the Imperial Palace, attachments from the Protectorate Palace, and attachments from the Xuan Palace. But where are the attachments from the people of the Protectorate Palace? Here they are.
It seems I haven’t seen it yet.”
Zhong Daoren glanced at him at this time.
Chao Huan immediately stared over and said, "Is Zhong Tingzhi thinking that the people of the Protectorate will naturally not object to such a thing, but if you haven't asked, how do you know whether the people of the Capital are willing or not?"
Zhong Daoren suddenly became displeased. What did he say? He said nothing!
Chen Tingzhi said in a deep voice at this time: "All major issues have always been decided from above. The people of the frontier are confined to one place and have narrow thoughts. Most of them only care about their own interests and do not think about the overall situation. But this policy of ours is for
Among all the people in Tianxia, how can the benefits of one place be compared to the great benefits of the whole world? Why should we ask again?"
Chao Huan immediately looked away from Zhong Daoren, turned his head and looked over, and said loudly: "Otherwise! After the turbid tide is cut off, many of the Protectorate's Mansion are still there to support themselves. As soon as the turbid tide subsides, the beacons will be lit.
Returning to Tianxia, it can be seen that the people of the Duhufu are not as intolerant as Chen Tingzhi said.
When the Duhufu was established on that day, there were people from the Duhufu to defend against foreign enemies, and there were also people from the Duhufu, so why did the people of the Duhufu not be mentioned today when the island was promoted to a prefecture?"
Wei Tingzhi nodded slowly and said: "Chao Tingzhi's words are reasonable. Since the people of the Duhu Mansion are the people of Tianxia, I should take a look at the public opinion and add a civil document on this matter."
In fact, he knew that most of the people of the Protectorate should agree with this matter, because it was also good for them, but it was really inappropriate to ignore the attachment of the civil documents.
From a utilitarian point of view, once the government expands, most of the time the upper class will get more food and the lower class will get less. With the civil documents recognized by Xuan Ting as a basis, no matter how much or how little, at least there will be a basis for sharing the food.
In fact, if such a loophole is left, some alien gods or foreign enemies may make a fuss about it in the future. Especially since the Protectorate is far away overseas, problems are more likely to occur, so it should be filled in here.
The first Taoist priest thought for a moment and then said to Wei Ting: "Then I will order the Yujing court to ask them to fill in the civil documents, and to have them monitored by the Xuanfu of the Duhufu, and not to be perfunctory or negligent."
Wei Tingzhi immediately slapped him on the head.
The first Taoist priest looked at everyone and said: "If these four continents can be settled, they will be my thirteen continents to protect. To control these four continents, there should be suitable candidates. Do you have any suitable recommendations from the court officials?"
?”
Chen Tingzhi stood up, made an official announcement, and said: "Chen has two candidates here, both of whom have been staying in the town for a long time. This time, they can be transferred to the inner level to serve as Xuanshou."
He took out a jade talisman from his sleeve and threw it into the long river of light. After the object was carried to the upper end by the waves, a Taoist boy beside the leader came down, picked it up, and handed it up.
The chief Taoist priest took it for a look, and as expected, the two people recommended here were both Hunzhang monks. However, these two people did have considerable merit, and it was not an exaggeration to put them in Neizhou as Xuanshou.
At this time, Taoist Zhong and Taoist Changsun looked at each other. He also took out the jade talisman and threw it into the long river of light.
Taoist Yu Su thought for a moment, waved his sleeve, and a jade talisman turned into light and fell.
The Feng Taoist sitting in the last seat hesitated for a moment, then took out a jade talisman, first poured it into it with his mind, and then threw it down similarly.
The other court officials also dropped jade talismans one after another.
The first Taoist took these jade talismans, looked at them all, and said: "I know the intentions of all the officials, and I will make a decision on this matter after the civil documents of the Four Continents are completed." As he spoke, he
The sound of the jade chime on the case spread widely.
The court officials stood up, bowed to him and sent him away, and then went back to the Dao Palace.
Zhong Daoren left Guangqi Changhe and walked back to his palace. He saw Cen Daoren already waiting there and said to him: "Brother Zhong Daoren, Cen has been waiting for you for a long time. I don't know that this time the court will be held."
What do you think?"
Zhong Daoren said: "Brother Taoist, don't worry, Zhong has already submitted the recommendation from fellow Taoist."
Taoist Cen nodded and said: "Brother Zhong Dao told Cen last time that there are two places in the land that are good places to go. I wonder where Cen can go?"
Zhong Daoren said slowly: "Of these two realms, there is only one place left for Taoist friends to go to now."
