Chapter 331: Longqing Ascends the Throne

The words fell.

The originally tense atmosphere was broken in an instant.

Countless eyes from inside and outside the palace looked over, and the hidden masters in the capital swept over with their spiritual consciousness. Zhang Cheng instantly became the center of everything.

Spiritual thoughts gathered together and communicated secretly.

"True God?"

"It's Zhang Zichang!"

"This guy has lost his mind in Chunfeng Tower!"

"Is it because your life is about to end and you plan to leave a name for the ages?"

"It's already notorious, let's add it to the fact that it will last forever!"

"Zhang Cheng's reputation doesn't need to be done like this at all. His books will definitely be passed down..."

"Which books?"

"The bull-headed monk, the spring wild fox fairy, the demonized human figure..."

"The poor monk recited it all night yesterday. He never thought it was written by layman Zhang. It's a pity, it's a pity, I won't be able to see new books in the future!"

"..."

Everyone thought that Zhang Cheng was crazy. He failed to find an opportunity outside the territory and planned to live in style before he died.

This approach of not waiting for adjustment is very in line with Zhang Cheng's temperament.

Of course Zhang Cheng discovered the communication of spiritual consciousness, and he knew what they were talking about without casting spells.

"Humph! Laugh, laugh, how can you know the realm of Master Zhang? How proud you are now, how scared you will be in a moment!"

Zhang Cheng raised his head and looked up at the sky, calling secretly in his heart: "Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief, the disciple has sent a message, cast the spell quickly..."

My neck felt a little sore when I looked up, but there was no reply.

In Pang Ji's eyes, this kind of action was filled with contempt, and anger suddenly arose in his heart.

"This junior is so arrogant and claims to be a god. His crime will be punished by heaven!"

The great Confucian of the first rank followed the words of the Dharma, and when the word "Heavenly Punishment" fell, a thunderbolt sounded in the clear sky, and thunder of dozens of feet struck Zhang Cheng's head. .

"..."

Zhang Cheng looked at the bucket-thick Lei Lei, his expression could no longer be tense, and his calm expression turned into panic.

After calling the immortal for a long time without receiving any response, Zhang Cheng began to suspect that the idea of ​​pardoning the righteous god might be a conspiracy or a deception.

How can there be such a good thing in the world, that killing demons can lead to becoming a god?

Zhang Cheng's aura shone and he was about to use magic to escape.

A stream of purple energy fell from the sky, arriving first and blasting the thunder into pieces, enveloping Zhang Cheng.

The purple energy connects the sky and the earth. People thousands of miles away can look up and see the Optimus Pillar standing between the sky and the earth.

Then Zhouyi's voice came to Zhang Cheng's ears: "Pindao was refining elixirs, but he accidentally missed the time."

Zhang Cheng heard the voice sounded familiar, and he didn't think about it in his haste. Feeling the majestic power contained in the purple energy, a smile spread across his face.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. It's the disciple who picked the wrong time!"

Pardoned and granted the title of righteous god: Old Man under the Moon, Zhang Cheng.

There is a name on the list of gods, and the merits are perfect, and the person becomes a god immediately.

"I am the true God!"

Zhang Cheng closed his eyes slightly, opened his arms, and was obsessed with the power of the true god. At the same time, many messages came into his mind.

For example, the leader of the list of gods is Zhou Yi.

"Great Heavenly Lord? Lao Zhou?"

Zhang Cheng's eyes widened, and the expression on his face changed. He couldn't believe it but couldn't believe it.

After being promoted to Zhengshen, his strength skyrocketed. Zhang Cheng followed the divine induction and discovered a fellow disciple.

Cui Yuan kept casting spells in his hands and said without changing his face: "Brother Zhang, our identity is special and must not be exposed."

Zhang Cheng had been working as an undercover agent in the Monster Clan for several years, so he had this reaction. However, his divine power swept across the surroundings and found many traces of imaging spells.

I suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell off the wall.

"It's completely over this time!"

His good reputation is ruined and he will rarely be blackmailed in the future.

There was such a big commotion, which alarmed everyone in the city. His consciousness swept over Zhang Cheng again, and he felt that it was like an abyss and a mountain, unfathomable and unattainable!

True God!

Dozens of streams of light were seen flying from the capital, led by the Luo Jing City God and the Land.

The two gods bowed to Zhang Cheng and said in unison: "See you, God!"

Zhang Cheng quickly recovered from the embarrassment. As long as he didn't have face, there would be no such thing as embarrassment.

"No need to be polite!"

After speaking, he looked at Pang Ji and others outside the city. They were as powerful as a prison and suppressed them fiercely.

"Why do you come to the Imperial City?"

"Report to God, junior..."

Pang Ji's state of mind, which had been condensed for hundreds of years, had been shattered into pieces. He was so cunning in the court that he couldn't think of a reason for a while.

Behind him, all the officials, clan members and worshipers were trembling with fear. They bowed their heads and did not dare to speak. They scolded all the ancestors of King Kang in their hearts.

Seeing this scene, Wang Bo'an stepped forward and said respectfully: "To God, we have heard that His Majesty has ascended the throne and will hold a coronation ceremony, so we specially come together to send congratulatory gifts!"

"Yeah!"

Pang Ji said quickly: "We are here to congratulate the new king and specially come to give you gifts."

"God, Li Xun is destined to inherit the throne."

"You don't know the inferiority of your dignity. How dare you call His Majesty by his first name?"

"We come to the palace just to support His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, we are extremely loyal ministers!"

Everyone explained in succession and swore to heaven that they were not here to cause trouble, but to sincerely support His Majesty's ascension to the throne.

Zhang Cheng's divine power swept over everyone and said slowly.

"In that case, let's go to the main entrance to see you. You are so aggressive. I thought you were going to rebel!"

“That’s what God teaches.”

Pang Ji apologized repeatedly, his light fell on the palace gate, and told the guards to wait patiently for Li Xun to summon him.

The rest of the people followed suit and followed the etiquette of meeting the emperor and did not dare to go beyond it.

Zhang Cheng was immediately pleased. Although there were some omissions in his performance, it was still good overall.

Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, Li Long's voice came to his ears.

"Has Daoist friend made enough trouble? Please come to the Dragon Guardian to discuss Dao with me."

"Ahem! I suddenly remembered that the fire in the alchemy furnace at home has not been extinguished. I will visit you later."

Zhang Cheng replied, and stepped on the divine light to escape to the sky.

The Martial Saint once defeated Zhou Yi in a battle. Zhang Cheng has not even mastered the divine power yet, so he dare not let himself fall into the tiger's mouth. If he dies on the same day as becoming a god, it will become a big joke.

Li Long watched Zhang Cheng leave, without chasing him or stopping him, nor did he depose Li Xun.

When the court saw this, they immediately understood that the Martial Saint had tacitly approved Li Xun's ascension to the throne, and they all submitted petitions to persuade him to ascend the throne.

The ninth day of the ninth month, the Double Ninth Festival.

Yuan Jianzheng personally selected the day, and he dared not neglect it this time. He really cast a spell to predict the future.

It is said that everything will return to one, the beginning of a new year, and everything will be renewed, and everything will be fine!

Early morning.

Li Xun offered sacrifices to his ancestors in the Taimiao, then changed into a bright yellow robe and went to the imperial city to pray.

Du Si, the Minister of Rites who took office urgently, stepped forward to read the edict of the previous emperor and the edict of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and bowed and withdrew after finishing.

Outside the palace gate, a group of civil and military officials knelt, bowed five times and kowtowed three times, and shouted "Long live the emperor". After the ceremony, they entered the palace in order according to their official positions.

Taihe Hall.

Emperor Longqing Li Xun sat on the dragon throne, stroking the left and right dragon head armrests, and still felt a dreamy feeling.

Is he going to be the emperor now?

It doesn't seem to be anything special!

The officials in the hall were in different moods, some looked expectant, some gloated, and some were trembling with fear.

Every time a new emperor takes office, someone will be in trouble. One is to establish authority, and the other is to make room for his own people.

Eunuch Chu still stood between His Majesty and the ministers. Seeing that both sides were silent, he stepped forward and said sharply.

"If there is something, report it early, if there is nothing, leave the court!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Longqing immediately retracted his thoughts, his expression solemn, and his eyes swept over the officials in the palace.

"I have a report!"

The chief minister of the cabinet Pang Ji bowed and said: "I am old and weak, and it is difficult for me to take on the important task of the chief minister. I pray that Your Majesty will allow me to retire and return home."

Emperor Longqing said: "Pang Aiqing has entered the cabinet since the Chenglu period. He has been a veteran of four dynasties and a pillar of the country. I still need you to assist in the government."

Pang Ji was relieved when he heard this. At least his life and property were saved, and he didn't have to fall like the Yan family. He immediately burst into tears of gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I will never forget your grace, but I am not energetic enough..."

After three requests and three resignations, Emperor Longqing allowed Pang Ji to retire.

"I have just ascended the throne and am not familiar with government affairs. Does Lord Pang have anyone to recommend?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang has been familiar with all the affairs of the court for more than 30 years and can take over the position of Prime Minister. Lord Du, the Minister of Rites, is famous throughout the world and has the reputation of a sage. He can enter the cabinet as a prime minister."

"Approved!"

Emperor Longqing issued the first decree after ascending the throne.

No one in the palace objected, and the cabinet unanimously promoted him. It seemed that there was not much change, but in fact, it was all paving the way for Du Si.

When Du Si is familiar with the affairs of the court, the position of Prime Minister will be his. The monarch and his ministers will work together to control the power of the court.

From today on, Dagan will welcome a new monarch again!
