"Tianshi, although Liu Ye is full of evil, we can't deal with it. The stone tablet of Taizu is inscribed in front of Liu Ye's gate. It is a forbidden area where weapons cannot enter. We can't wait to sleep in it.
His skin eats his flesh, but he can only gnash his teeth and fine him money. There is nothing he can do."
Who could tell that the Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty was not ruthless enough and left behind such a disaster?
In fact, part of the reason was the struggle between the scholar-bureaucrats in the civil service group and the emperor. Emperor Li Sheng of the Tang Dynasty was too strong. When the imperial power was strong, the ministerial power was weak. Therefore, the literati had to suppress the imperial power and bring out the ancestral system to counter Li Sheng.
Sheng, Liu Ye has become the only product that can check and balance Li Sheng. If you want to kill Liu Ye, you can show the evidence of his rebellion and punish him with a canon.
Without the secret instructions of some people, Liu Ye would not be so lawless no matter how powerful he was. He was just a small marquis, so why would he dare to be so unscrupulous? Isn't there someone behind the scenes who was adding fuel to the flames?
The answer is yes, but it is not clear who that person is. Who dares to go against Li Sheng? After the civil servant group reacts, they realize that they have been taken advantage of, and they can only make the same mistake again and again.
The situation is now out of control.
Prime Minister Fang Shuji and Academician Du Changlun have always been Li Sheng's right-hand men. Faced with this situation, they angrily rebuked the ministers several times in the palace for not knowing how to be ministers, but they were just angry and helpless.
His Majesty himself is powerful, and with the addition of an immortal master descended from heaven, acting in the name of the Emperor, he is even more unstoppable. Therefore, they are forced to follow the general trend, curb His Majesty's power within a certain range, and guard the imperial power without abusing it.
Bottom line.
That’s why the Celestial Master came to Qizhou for a tour. Emperor Li Sheng was secretly looking forward to it. The eyes of Chao Zhong Wenwu were all focused on Qizhou at this moment. No one can control the Celestial Master’s visit to Qizhou, not even His Majesty.
, but the Heavenly Master went to that sensitive place.
What will happen when the Heavenly Master arrives in Qizhou?
"It's because of your inaction that the people under your rule are living a more miserable life than the villagers in the mountains. They say that the harsh government is as fierce as a tiger, the yamen that destroys families, and the government orders that destroy families. You are worthy of this." Liu Shang.
He cursed contemptuously.
When the tiger was mentioned, the big insect didn't know whether it was talking about it or not. He raised his huge tiger head in cooperation and let out a deep roar to show his power.
Bai Yanshun was angry at the moment, and felt humiliated and bullied too much. The Heavenly Master is amazing. After all, we are also high officials in the border area. He took a look at the big insect sitting on the ground, who seemed to be a little taller than a standing person. He lost his temper in an instant.
Shivered.
"Master Tian, forgive me. It is our incompetence that has caused the suffering of the people under our control. We are ashamed." Bai Yanshun was still very sensible.
The size of that smelly tiger is too terrifying. If the Heavenly Master is angry with his attitude, then...
Chang Shi and others turned into a background wall and did not dare to speak out. At this time, the benefits of being subordinates were revealed. You see, there were people above talking to them, so they did not have to get into trouble with the Heavenly Master.
Liu Shang was also drunk. The ancients were too honest. Isn't the ancestral system great? My master didn't allow me to do this or that. Didn't I do them all? Can it be said that I am not filial to my master?
"You are afraid, I don't care about the ancestral system or not. This Liu Ye has sinned so seriously that he deserves to be thrown into eternal purgatory and never be reincarnated."
Boom!
Suddenly there was a huge roar of thunder in the sky, the wind and clouds suddenly changed color, the void was electrified, and the wind was dancing wildly.
Everyone was frightened by this sound and fell to the ground. Why did the sky suddenly change?
Liu Shang was also shocked. What happened?
Everyone just thought it was the Heavenly Master who had spoken out the law and summoned Heavenly Punishment to punish Liu Ye, and they felt extremely frightened.
Above the nine heavens, an invisible beam of light descended on Liu Shang's body again. In an instant, he gained an understanding. However, what shocked him was that he actually opened the underworld with one word and escaped from the chaos.
Born out of thin air.
He instantly wandered into the underworld. This world was lifeless, without any living beings or ghosts. It was still a quiet place. Liu Shang became the first master of this underworld, the Underworld Emperor.
"How could this happen?" Liu Shang looked at everything in front of him, dumbfounded.
The divine position given this time is not a gift from the sea of Haotian's vitality, but he made the Netherworld derive from it here to form a rule. This is a position given by pure heaven. This is an innate divine position.
, the only difference is that he is nominally the first emperor of the underworld since the birth of this world. His status is much higher than that of the innate god, and his authority is much greater.
Liu Shang hesitated again. This was very tempting. From now on, he had the final say over a mortal's lifespan, life, death, misfortunes, and misfortune. However, he was determined to become a saint in the flesh. If he accepted this honor,
Although it has many benefits, it goes against their ambitions.
He thought about how great it would be if he could use distraction to accept this honorable position for himself at this moment. Unfortunately, distraction has been left in the Chinese world, but he came to this world, which is impossible.
Liu Shang was about to give up this ground-breaking initial divine position. Suddenly, what came to his mind? He looked at his body.
"This, this is another distraction. Could it be that this is the legendary one energy transforming into three bodies? I have also cultivated Cunsi Transformation God in this world, and successfully gave birth to a spiritual god?" He couldn't believe it.
Talking to himself, he was now very sure that this was not the real person.
With a thought in his mind, Liu Shang was distracted and instantly passed through the Netherworld and returned to his physical body in the Yang world. Liu Shang suddenly regained his expression. In fact, it only happened in a blink of an eye. The time in the Yin world and the Yang world were not synchronized. No one noticed that heaven
The teacher's unusual expression.
"Hahaha..." He laughed loudly, feeling extremely good.
Everyone was surprised, why did the Heavenly Master laugh?
The vision in the sky disappeared without a trace the moment Liu Shang accepted the divine throne. The setting sun set with its red afterglow, and the clouds receded and the mist dispersed.
"Why is Tianshi laughing so hard?" Bai Yanshun asked in confusion.
Liu Shang felt that he had lost his composure, coughed twice and said: "It's nothing."
No matter what he does, he cannot tell a mortal that he is now the Hades Emperor of the Underworld, and that your life, death, misfortune and blessings will all be in his hands in the future. In that case, you don’t know how much trouble he will cause. For example, Emperor Li Sheng,
If he knew, he would definitely be the first to ask for help.
However, Liu Chang had no time to think about all this. Outside the patrol yamen, there were faint sounds of crying. In the dark, the moment Liu Chang accepted the divine throne, he was not distracted yet.
When he went to the underworld to perform his duties, the aura of divine power attracted the eight students who were beaten to death, as well as the ghosts of people who had died unjustly in Qizhou in the past, and came to complain.
However, for other people who have never seen such weird things, it is very scary. Ghosts, things that only exist in legends, have actually entered reality.
"Ghost."
"There are ghosts, there are ghosts."
The sharp-shooting soldiers at the door panicked and ran in shouting, shouting in horror: "Sir, sir, there is, there is, there is a ghost."
The ghosts who hate death can turn into tangible bodies with a mouthful of resentment or lingering resentment. Such ghosts are the most terrifying, because their death appearance will not be good-looking.
The soldiers yelled, which shocked everyone. Then, Bai Yanshun was the first to react and scolded: "What's the point of yelling? The Heavenly Master is here. What kind of ghost dares to cause trouble? Why don't I retreat?"
Down."
Everyone who was already panicking came to their senses under Bai Yanshun's harsh scolding. Yes, the Heavenly Master is here. The Heavenly Master is an immortal. What kind of monsters and monsters dare to act presumptuously in front of the Heavenly Master?
Thinking like this, everyone felt confident and wanted to see what ghosts looked like.
The soldier was scolded, so he thought so and simply stood aside, but the palm of his hand holding the handle of the knife at his waist was already dripping with sweat, and his eyes were flying. He didn't know what he was thinking about?
"It's unfair~It's unfair~."
"I died so miserably... I'm not willing to accept it... How could the evil thief not die..."
The sound is like the friction of gold and iron, making people's teeth tremble.
Giggle.
The sound of teeth chattering sounded in the room. Except for Yang Zhang and Tianshi, everyone in the room was in such a miserable state.
"This, this, this... is a ghost." Bai Yanshun was relying on the Heavenly Master to be here. Now, after seeing the ghost with his own eyes, he was immediately frightened out of his mind.
The big insect was full of evil spirits and let out a dull roar. The sharp nails on its claws flashed with cold light and its hair stood on end. It was not afraid of these ghosts, but it just didn't want them to disturb its master, so it would pounce on them.
Liu Shang raised his hand and stroked its back, patted it and said, "Big insect, don't be nervous, I summoned them."
What he said is right. There is an inexplicable intuition in the dark, which is guiding them to come to Liu Shang. That is when Liu Shang accepted the responsibility of the god. As the first revered god in the Nether World, naturally he is here.
Wherever these things come, there will be gains and losses. This is the way of heaven.
After everyone heard what he said, they gradually relaxed. Looking at the innocent ghost in front of them, they didn't dare to take a breath and moved closer to the Celestial Master.
"If you have any grievances or grievances, tell them all. I will redress your grievances and resolve them." Liu Chang looked at the eight illusory figures, and he basically knew who they were.
Kou Xiao, Yang Kai, Bao Kang, etc...
They are all shrouded in a white light, which is the unique aura of scholars, which is what the world calls the aura of books. Therefore, although they turned into ghosts, they still maintained their consciousness and did not act recklessly, thanks to the care of the Confucian saints.
It was also because Liu Shang recognized them at a glance.
"Ming Junrong..." Bao Kang said.
Liu Shang was startled, thought of something, and immediately interrupted him and said: "Wait a minute."
It's so dangerous, I forgot about this, now I don't practice enough, if I rashly expose the identity of Emperor Hades, wouldn't it be a big trouble.
"You can't stay in the human world until you die. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the underworld," Liu Shang said.
Yang Kai and the others looked at each other. After all, they were scholars and had a clear mind. They immediately understood that Lord Ming didn't want to reveal his identity, so he stopped talking.
But at this time, someone's low sobbing caught Yang Kai's attention, and he saw his ghostly eyes suddenly startled, in disbelief, and he shouted heartbreakingly: "Mother..."
