Chapter 460 Big Plan
If there is anyone in the world who is closely related to floods and droughts, it must be the Dragon King of the Four Seas. At this time, the Heavenly Court has made an initial decision. It is precisely because the Heavenly Court is short of manpower that there is this battle for the gods. No matter whether they win or lose, the people on the final list will have to go to heaven to work.
The Dragon King of the Four Seas has already worked for Heaven, so he doesn't need to participate in the Battle of the Gods. Xiqi and Chao Ge were beaten out of their brains, and Ao Bing, the only dragon king in the world, was unlucky.
Did the Dragon King of the Four Seas also play other roles in this war? For example, the floods and droughts in the world were all caused by the Dragon King of the Four Seas?
If you think about it this way, it seems that you can't directly trouble the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and it will easily become a door-to-door delivery.
"Perhaps, we should bring Nezha with us this time."
There is a destiny in the dark. Unlike Empress Shiji, Nezha is still facing a doom. The cause and effect of Empress Shiji was taken over by Tang Lin, but Nezha still needed to settle with the Dragon King of the Four Seas.
Although he had such an idea, Tang Lin did not return directly to Chentangguan.
Don't be in a hurry, as doing so may lead to fatal danger. And you have to be prepared. If the Dragon King of the Four Seas is behind the scenes, then they will definitely not tell you the real information about the flood and drought disaster.
"In this case, you have to be prepared with both hands."
Tang Lin thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
In the next few days, Chaoge City was filled with singing and dancing. Daji, the daughter of Jizhou Hou Suhu, married into the palace with great splendor. King Zhou got such a stunning beauty, and when he heard that the Taishi had successfully quelled the rebellion and returned to the court, it could be said to be a double happiness.
While all the princes were singing at court, King Zhou simply issued an order to reduce the taxes of all princes in the world for three years.
This was great good news. In an instant, King Zhou's reputation for benevolence spread throughout the world, while Demon Fox Daji smiled on the outside, but in her heart she scolded both King Zhou and Tang Lin half to death.
This tax reduction was naturally suggested by Tang Lin. He was criticized for being extravagant and extravagant when he built the Lutai Palace and the Star Building before, but now he has come back with the reputation of being a hero in suppressing the rebellion. This deer is used to "pray for blessings". No one in Taixing Palace dared to say a bad word anymore.
Taoist Priest Lihuo built the palace with his own money for the sake of the country and the country, but you didn't use a penny of it. After praying for blessings, he really came back victorious. How dare you have any objections? Did the princes of Beihai send you here?
With his identity, Tang Lin's advice would naturally have weight.
Tang Lin asked King Zhou to reduce taxes, and then used his own money to fill Chaoge's treasury with many treasures. Even if he doesn't use the ability to synthesize gold, he really has all kinds of treasures in his many planes, filling up two warehouses and even the granary.
In this case, King Zhou wanted to reduce taxes, and no one, including Grand Master Wen, had any objections. This has directly earned ten years of tax, and three years of tax exemption is really nothing.
This is called having money to really do whatever you want.
King Zhou was so kind, and the people's hearts immediately increased a lot, but the tears of Demon Fox Daji could only flow into her stomach. She was ordered by Empress Nuwa to bring trouble to the government. She had just entered the palace, and she gave King Zhou the reputation of loving the people like his own son. This was a hellish start.
However, the demon fox Daji had just entered the palace, and for a while, there was no good solution except letting King Zhou indulge in the pleasure of bed. I heard that Taishi Bigan and other loyal ministers were here, as well as Taoist Lihuo, an expert. It would not be easy to disrupt the government. At least her position in the harem should be stabilized.
The demon fox Daji was temporarily lurking, and Tang Lin was not even leaving the door, busy with work that no one knew about in Qintian Prison.
Two months later, Demon Fox Daji discovered that her identity had not been revealed, and King Zhou was completely fascinated by her. It was time to take the next step.
On this day, King Zhou finally went to the morning court, and then angrily returned to Lutai Palace to complain to the demon fox Daji.
"Those old men are all accusing me of being addicted to women. They are so angry that they will kill me!"
King Zhou often stayed in Lutai Palace and ignored the government affairs. Now that a treacherous minister is in power, I wish the emperor could be more indulgent. Unfortunately, there are most loyal ministers in the court now, so naturally he can't stand this approach.
When the demon fox Daji heard this, she immediately knew that the opportunity had come, and she quickly said to King Zhou: "Your Majesty, I have a hair that can relieve your Majesty's sorrow."
King Zhou was happy to hear this and said, "My beloved concubine, come quickly."
The demon fox Daji's charming eyes were like silk, and she said: "I know that there is a punishment that can scare Xiao Xiao. This punishment is about two feet high and eight feet round. It is made of copper with three fire doors at the top, middle and bottom, like copper pillars; inside Burn it red with charcoal fire. But those who confuse the public with their evil words, insult the emperor with harsh words, disrespect the law, issue admonitions for nothing, and all kinds of lawbreakers, strip off their official uniforms, wrap iron ropes around their bodies, wrap them around copper pillars, and burn them with cannons. In just a moment, the limbs, muscles and bones will be burned away and reduced to ashes. The name of this punishment is 'Pao-rao'. Without this torture, cunning ministers and people who make a name for themselves will not know how to be wary and fearful even though they are practicing law."
Demon Fox Daji felt that King Zhou would definitely nod in agreement after hearing this novel punishment. During this time, Demon Fox Daji had already known that King Zhou was mean and ungrateful, and had an impatient and cruel temper. Now was the time to act arbitrarily. If he could build a cannon, he would surely cause uproar in the court.
When the time comes, the more people who oppose it, the more dissatisfied King Zhou will be. When the time comes, naturally the monarch and his ministers will become at odds with each other, and the Shang Dynasty will be destroyed.
Who would have thought that when King Zhou heard this, he smiled and said: "I have already known the punishment of burning with cannon. But this punishment is no more than killing people, how can it be compared to killing the heart."
"Heart-killing?" Demon Fox Daji asked strangely.
"My dear wife, I don't know. This is the record in the brocade bag given to me by Immortal Lihuo. He said that if I heard about the punishment of cannon burning, I would open the brocade bag and take a look. But I was curious and opened it early. There is Lihuo on it. The Immortal Chief has a clever plan and there is no need to pay attention to these deceivers. I have my own way to deal with them." King Zhou said.
The demon fox Daji began to feel that something was wrong. Why was it this Lihuo Taoist again? She quickly asked King Zhou: "Your Majesty, I am also curious. I wonder what your Majesty's clever plan is."
Unexpectedly, King Zhou, who was usually very obedient to him, turned his back on her and said to Daji: "Don't tell anyone about this. My beloved concubine can just watch the show."
Tang Lin didn't know that his "ingenious plan" was about to take effect. He was currently busy with a major project in the Lotus Dharma Appearance.
Scientists from the planes of heaven gathered together again and began to build various huge machines, preparing to move them to the world of gods for assembly. In the past two months, most of the important components have been built and are waiting to be officially opened.
Looking at the pile of shining metal in front of him, Tang Lin couldn't help but smile.
This is a weather controller. Tang Lin referred to the movie "Global Storm" and asked the big guys in the heavens to research machines with similar functions.
Isn't it just floods and droughts? As long as this set of weather controllers can be successfully installed in Fengshen World, 90% of weather disasters in the world can be eliminated. At that time, no matter whether the mastermind behind it is the Dragon King or someone else, they will be forced to come out on their own.
