488. The Heavenly Court Has Been Promoted, Erlang Zhenjun (Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Going to Dongting Dragon Palace is not for personal matters.

But for official business.

It's time for Bai Gui to be promoted!

Although the power of the human official is not small, the official position is low, which is not suitable for Bai Gui, a Jindan celestial being.

In short, Bai Gui is a celestial being from the orthodox Jindan Avenue. If he is normally granted an official position, he should at least be a mid-level immortal official. Otherwise, the golden armored god who is responsible for conveying the order on the Dragon Slashing Platform would not respect Bai Gui so much.

But what official position should be granted is still to be discussed.

One day in heaven is one year on earth.

During the days he stayed in the human world, it was estimated that only one hour had passed in heaven.

What official position should be granted is exactly what the Dongting Dragon King intends to discuss with Bai Gui. When he was in the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, the reason why Bai Gui hurried back to Chang'an was largely due to this.

Not long after.

Bai Gui used the cold dragon method to walk through the water veins of the world and arrived at Dongting Lake in a quarter of an hour.

"My dear nephew, according to my secret report in the Heavenly Court, you have gained a lot of merits in this service as a human official in the human world. Although you are not all top-ranked in the assessment, you are not low-ranked either..."

"My dragon clan belongs to the Water Department. I can secretly use my connections to win the title of Water Lord of the Five Lakes for you."

In the Xiangzhen Palace, the Dragon King of Dongting saw Bai Gui's eager face and smiled.

Bai Gui, a celestial being, is equivalent to an orthodox immortal god who has graduated from a professional school. Although he is a celestial being, he is a celestial being from a different path from Bai Gui. He is a celestial being who has cultivated himself through the gods and blood. Although they are both celestial beings, Bai Gui has a brighter future in the Heavenly Court.

For someone like him, no matter how capable he is, he can only be the Dragon Lord of Dongting.

But Bai Gui is a human, but he can be trusted by the gods in the Heavenly Court and appointed as the Water Lord who governs the Five Lakes.

"Water Lord of the Five Lakes?"

Bai Gui was led to his seat by the Dragon King of Dongting, and frowned as he thought about this divine position.

It is similar to the power division in the court of the human world.

For example, he once served as Zuo Shiyi, an inner court official, mainly admonishing the monarch. The power of this official position overlaps with that of the censor of the Censorate. Both are responsible for admonishment.

For example, the Ministry of War holds military power, but the Privy Council in the Song Dynasty also holds military power.

Nothing else, just divide the power.

The position of the God of Water in the Five Lakes is similar to this.

There is a God of Water in the East China Sea, and there are corresponding Gods of Water in the other three seas.

"The god of the South China Sea is Zhurong, the god of the East China Sea is Ju Mang, the god of the North China Sea is Xuan Ming, and the god of the West China Sea is Ru Shou." - "Tai Gong Jin Kui".

As the saying goes, there are five lakes and four seas.

Now there are Gods of Water in the Four Seas, but there is no God of Water in charge in the Five Lakes, namely Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake, Chaohu Lake, and Hongze Lake, so this position is vacant.

The Dragon Clan belongs to the Ministry of Water, and has long infiltrated the Ministry of Water like a sieve. Rather than letting someone who has no background become the "boss" of the Five Lakes Dragon Clan in the future, it is better to let Bai Gui, a reliable person, take the position.

"This position is not acceptable."

Bai Gui shook his head, "I have always been righteous. If I take the position of the Five Lakes Water Lord, the nephews of the Dragon Clan will see that I am the Water Lord and will be unruly without anyone to take care of me. It is okay for me, but if the clan style changes, it will be your fault."

He declined politely.

His position as the Five Lakes Water Lord is a good thing for the Dragon Clan, but not necessarily for him. Managing such a large group of "relatives" is not sure whether it can be accomplished, but bad things are certain. The Dragon Clan is already domineering. If he is on top, they will be even more unscrupulous in the future.

So this official position is a pit!

"My nephew is right. This position is far-reaching and harmful. It is better to abandon it."

The Dragon King of Dongting agreed deeply.

This official position was not proposed by him, but by his eldest brother-in-law, the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Although the Dragon King of the East Sea and the Dongting Water Veins have some connection, it is not much, and he is more thinking about power. But the Dragon King of Dongting has more considerations. This Five Lakes Water Lord seems to be a good job, but he does not agree.

Now that Bai Gui sees this, he is relieved.

"Ao Guang missed the point."

"How could the person who came up with a vicious plan to make the Jinghe Water Veins surrender obediently not see this trap."

The Dragon King of Dongting said secretly.

However, although he also knew about the pitfalls of the Five Lakes Water Lord position, he could not bring it up openly. If he brought it up, he would offend the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang.

He could only keep it tacit with Bai Gui.

"Since the Five Lakes Water Lord cannot..."

The Dragon King of Dongting hesitated for a while and said, "Then I can't do anything. I can only use money to see what vacancy the Silu Mansion in the Heavenly Court will arrange for you. After all, although the Dragon Clan is a big clan, it is humble and small in the Heavenly Court, and it cannot influence the Heavenly Court's divine duties. I can only do my best."

The two of them were talking.

A golden light flashed, and the golden-armored god arrived in the Dragon Palace, followed by the heavenly soldiers and generals. He held the Jade Edict in his hand and said, "By order of the Great Heavenly Venerable, Bai Gui, a human official, has perfect merits, is a celestial being, and is fair in his dealings. He can enter the Heavenly Court Justice Department, the Heavenly Court Siwei Mansion, and be in charge of the Heavenly Law, and be appointed as the Three Realms Ancha Du Xunjian."

"A sixth-rank position, with a salary of 120 merits per year, and a seat at the Peach Banquet..."

He said one sentence at a time.

"Du Xun Bai, accept the edict."

The golden-armored god recognized Bai Gui. Last time, Bai Gui gave him a lot of benefits on the Dragon Slaying Platform, so he was also in a good mood this time.

"Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable, for the edict."

Bai Gui accepted the edict.

The Dragon King of Dongting ordered the palace maid to set up a banquet.

At this time, the golden-armored god explained the origin of Bai Gui's position, "The God of Justice Erlang Zhenjun was short of people, and when Bai Du was appointed as a human official, he handled things fairly, which was in line with the intention of the Ministry of Justice. In addition,..."

"Ahem, the Ministry of Justice is an offending department."

"The main reason is that no one came."

He couldn't continue and smiled awkwardly.

It was because the Ministry of Justice was short of people that this position fell on Bai Gui.

"But..., things are not absolute. Among all the departments in the Heavenly Court, only the Ministry of Justice is the easiest to make merit. Bai Duxun inspects the three realms and has no shortage of opportunities to make merit. His future will definitely be bright."

He said again in a deep voice.

The Ministry of Justice is offensive, but it doesn't mean that this department is not a good place to go.

Just as being a soldier will die, but the frontier is also the easiest place to make merit.

Bai Gui gave him another fairy treasure.

He took advantage of the Jinghe Dragon King and didn't feel bad about spending money.

The golden-armored god nodded secretly, "Bai Duxun will meet Erlang Zhenjun in a few days. Erlang Zhenjun is cold and arrogant by nature, and is not an easy person to get along with, but Erlang Zhenjun loves his sister the most. Her sister San Shengmu now lives in Huashan. Bai Duxun can go to see San Shengmu in advance..."

Soon, the banquet at Dongting Dragon Palace was also set up.

At the banquet, the golden-armored god also revealed the reason why Bai Gui was promoted so quickly this time.

That day, Taishang Laojun finished making the elixir and went to Lingxiao Palace to meet the Great Heavenly Venerable. It happened that Ge Xuan Tianshi reported that a human immortal god had cultivated into a golden elixir heavenly immortal and was being promoted to a human official. He wanted to see what position he should be promoted to.

Taishang smiled and said, "Golden elixir heavenly immortal, this is my Taishang Dao lineage, and the official rank should not be lower than the sixth rank."

After saying that, Taishang left in feather clothes.

In the heavenly court, there are not many vacancies for official positions above the sixth rank, so the Three Realms Ancha Du Xunjian of the Ministry of Justice was given.

And precisely because of this reason, the plan of the Dragon Clan and Bai Gui failed, and this position came from heaven.
