Chapter 170: Determining half points of merit (repair)
Time flashed to April, and at the Xuanting court meeting 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 this time.
Wu Qingxu first sat down and said: "Wu has already checked the Qi of the two supernatural gods, and then went to the golden palace to check. This supernatural god is indeed the master of the previous era.
When their clan was at its peak, it also occupied the inner and outer realms. If it were to recover and awaken the more ancient gods, it would indeed be a threat to me.
And the current Ability God, through Wu Mou's questioning, found out that he had the intention to join forces with the enemy in the outer layer. Fortunately, Zhang Shouzheng suppressed it in time this time, and it did not cause a catastrophe. Zhang Shouzheng did this this time.
He has made great achievements."
After hearing this, all the people in the audience agreed with what he said.
Tianxia is controlled by cultivators at the upper level, and what matters is to eliminate disasters when signs arise. But it does not mean that you have no credit if something does not happen. On the contrary, the credit is greater, because everyone can see the consequences of not stopping it.
What, I will never deny it.
Although there is no question about Zhang Yu's credit, the controversy in this matter is not that, but the name in which he should be credited.
At this time, Feng Taoist knocked on his jade chime, stood up and said, "I asked Zhang Shouzheng about this matter, but he had something to say here. I also asked the chief executive and all the court officials to take a look at it."
He took out a jade talisman and threw it. The talisman fell into the long river of light and floated to everyone's seat. Everyone took it over and took a look. Some nodded secretly, while others showed no expression on their faces.
The first Taoist said: "What do you think of Zhang Shouzheng's remarks?"
Taoist Yusu knocked on the jade chime and spoke from the seat: "What Zhang Shouzheng said is quite reasonable. The four major prefectures have the responsibility of pioneering and forging ahead. How can they be conservative? This achievement should be attributed to the position of Xuanshou.
.”
When Zhong Tingzhi saw this, he also struck the jade chime and stood up and said: "Chief Zhi, Zhong is still saying what he said last time. If the merit of keeping upright is counted in the position of Xuanshou, it will be really valuable to the other Xuanshou who guard the various continents.
unfair."
After he finished speaking, the audience fell silent for a moment, and then a voice unexpectedly rang out: "Zhong Tingzhi, what you said is wrong."
Everyone didn't say anything, just waiting there for what was going to happen next.
Zhong Tingzhi looked over with no expression on his face and saw Chao Huan sitting on his seat. He said to him: "If Zhang Shouzheng is to destroy this alien god elsewhere this time, then he has nothing to say, but here
But Fan was acting in the East Courtyard, and the East Courtyard was where Zhang Shouzheng was guarding. How could he eliminate the disasters under his own jurisdiction and be counted among the achievements of Xuanshou's suppression?"
Zhong Tingzhi said in a slow voice: "Zhong has already said it, and I am afraid it will attract criticism from the Xuanshou of various continents."
Chao Huan snorted and said: "They can't do it themselves, so they blame others for their meritorious service? Besides, why don't I see anyone who has any objections? If you have different opinions, can you write a letter yourself? What? Could it be that they all handed the letter to Wei Ting?
Zhi Zhi here? I don’t know when Zhong Tingzhi went to help Wei Tingzhi share the responsibilities? "
Zhong Tingzhi remained silent.
At this time, Chong Tingzhi stood up, saluted, and said: "Chief Executive, fellow Tingzhi, what Chao Tingzhi said makes some sense. However, Chong Tingzhi believes that this matter does not need to be generalized, but should be treated separately.
Zhang Shouzheng is both a defender and a mysterious leader, so this merit can be commended for Zhang Shouzheng’s merit of keeping integrity, and at the same time, it can also be commended for his contribution of a mysterious leader for guarding.”
Everyone thought about it and nodded unconsciously.
This decision was the best, as it would not exalt Zhang Yu's contribution too much, nor would it deny his contribution to the defense, but it could also appease the other Xuanshou a little.
Although as Chao Huan said, he cannot blame others for making too many meritorious deeds, but it is not a good thing if he cannot catch up at all. Perhaps those who originally wanted to make progress, but seeing that the fight for the position is hopeless this time, they may simply sit back and sit still.
Moved.
Chao Huan just sneered lightly this time, but did not make any sarcastic remarks.
Chen Tingzhi glanced at Wei Tingzhi at this time, and the latter immediately said: "This matter is considered fair. Wei thinks this proposal is feasible."
The first Taoist nodded and said: "If you all have no objections, then I will praise Zhang Shouzheng according to this proposal."
At this time, Zhong Tingzhi exchanged a look with Chong Tingzhi, then bowed to the superior, and said: "Chief Executive, fellow Tingzhi, through Zhang Shouzheng's matter, it can be seen that there are still many hidden and dormant supernatural gods in our Tianxia inner circle.
Gods and monsters.
Our territory in Tianxia is vast, and Shangchentian is very likely to attack me soon. I am afraid that Zhang Shouzheng alone cannot take care of it, so Zhong suggested that we might as well establish another Shouzheng position to deal with this matter.
"
Chen Tingzhi stroked his beard and nodded, saying: "Zhong Tingzhi's words are indeed realistic and there is nothing wrong with them."
Taoist Yusu did not object at this moment. Because in his opinion, under the current situation, it is necessary to establish another righteousness. Zhong Tingzhi did not make a random suggestion, but saw the opportunity and believed that Xuan Ting really needed this.
was proposed.
And all the officials present here are also leaning toward this suggestion.
Shang Chentian tried his best to get them to use the Qingtian Astrolabe last time. If it were to be invaded this time, it would not be that simple. It would be helpful to have an extra guardian to protect him.
Dai Gonghan asked Zhong Tingzhi at this time: "Since Zhong Tingzhi has made this proposal, he doesn't know who he is interested in?"
Zhong Ting said: "Zhong recommended someone, Taoist friend Mei Shangmei."
Dai Gonghan asked in surprise: "Are you of the same lineage as Zhengqing?"
Zhong Tingzhi said sternly: "Although Taoist friends Mei Shang are of the Zhengqing lineage, they can be expelled for three hundred years. Their lineage has already atones for its sins and now gives up its base. It can be regarded as returning to Tianxia. It was suppressed by the Qing Dynasty."
After that, he also rectified his name. As you all know, Taoist friend Mei had already attained enlightenment when Tian Xia arrived here, and if he keeps upright, no matter his merits or qualifications, that is enough."
At this time, the first Taoist priest saw that a person had not yet spoken, so he simply looked at him and said, "What does Chao Tingzhi think?"
Chao Huan said: "I think it's okay, but the situation is so serious, how can one keep upright? You might as well set up another one." He shook his sleeves, stood up, slapped his face, and said: "Chao
I hereby recommend 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 a blur..."
Chao Huan said confidently: "If Mei Shang can do it, why can't Zhu Feng? Zhu Feng has never been expelled before. Before Shangchentian invaded, Zhu Xuanzun also secretly reminded Zhang Shouzheng, which enabled me to discover the enemy's traces in time.
, hasn’t this already proven itself?”
Zhong Tingzhi said in a deep voice: "Zhong still has doubts about this."
Although he did not speak clearly, everyone understood what he meant, implying that Zhu Feng's move might be a pretense in order to gain Tianxia's trust and seek greater benefits.
This seems to make sense on the surface, and it is possible, but it is extremely slim. Does anyone know that Xuan Ting will suddenly ask her to be a guardian one day? No matter how good Chen Tian's calculations are, it cannot be calculated.
When Chao Tingzhi heard what Zhong Tingzhi said, he immediately became energetic and said: "Zhong Tingzhi, when it comes to doubts, wouldn't the Zhengqing lineage be even more suspicious? Cen Chuan and Mei Shang are back, but
Zhengqing said he was in retreat, but who knows what he was doing? According to Zhong Tingzhi, this is a big doubt."
The first Taoist said at this time: "Okay, you two should be careful. Whether it is Zhu Xuanzun or Mei Xuanzun, they are fellow Taoists since they have returned to Tianxia. We should not have any doubts, and there is no need to talk about it again from now on."
When everyone heard what he said, they all slapped themselves in the seat.
Chen Tingzhi said: "Chief Executive, Mei Shang has always been an honest and upright person. Zhu Feng, I know something about it. Apart from having a high spirit, this female Taoist has no bad deeds. Since
Chao Tingzhi recommended Zhu Feng, so let her be included in the list of candidates, and then we can make a final decision after asking her what she means."
The first Taoist priest nodded, looked at everyone, and said, "Do you have any suggestions?"
No one said anything at the table.
In fact, most court officials don't have much opinion on this. Because whether they are Mei Shang or Zhu Feng, even if they are upright, they are not like Zhang Yu who often take pictures. Even if there is something wrong,
They can also take back their positions at any time, and they are still under Xuan Ting's control, so there won't be any big trouble.
Seeing that no one had any objections, the first Taoist said: "Then the matter will be settled like this."
As all the discussions were settled, the bell rang in the arena, and the courtiers exchanged greetings and then dispersed.
After Zhong Tingzhi returned to Miaohao Taoist Palace, he called a Taoist boy over and said: "You go to the lower realm and go to Changhe Fuzhou and invite Taoist friend Mei to come over and talk to me. I have something to say to you."
He explained."
The Taoist boy took the order and left.
On the other hand, Taoist Master Ming Zhou was ordered to come to Zhu Feng Dojo. This trip was to inquire about her family wishes on behalf of Xuan Ting.
Zhu Feng has been practicing in the dojo these days and has not gone anywhere. When she heard that Xuanting wanted to appoint her as Shouzheng, she couldn't help but be surprised. She asked doubtfully: "Why did Xuanting let me take this position?"
Taoist priest Ming Zhou then explained the matter to the court and said: "Zhu Xuanzun proposed this request because of Chao Tingzhi's recommendation. However, this proposal is not forced. If Zhu Xuanzun is unwilling, he can also recommend it."
Zhu Feng turned his eyes and chuckled: "Why should I refuse?"
Although it is a bit more dangerous to become Shouzheng, she has the magical power to protect her, so she can survive even if she is not confident. Cen Chuan could not do anything to her back then. And for being Shouzheng, she is rewarded with mysterious grains, which is of great benefit to her practice.
of.
She didn't work hard on this in the past, not because she didn't want to, but because she knew she had no such hope.
She had also heard about Chao Huan, the court official, for a long time, but she also knew that he never talked about so-called favors. It would be fine if you ignored him, but if you wanted to thank him, he might ridicule him.
She thought for a moment and said, "I heard from fellow Taoist disciples that there must be two people who keep upright this time. I wonder who the other one is?"
Mingzhou Taoist said: "It is Mei Xuanzun, the plum merchant."
Zhu Feng thoughtfully nodded and said, "We are also an old acquaintance." She smiled, bowed her hands and said, "Fellow Taoist Mingzhou, thank you for coming to inform me. I will take over the position of Shou Zheng."
