Honghuang: I, Haotian, will never abdicate

Chapter 133 Shen Gongbao's deceit, Wen Zhong returned to court

In Chaoge, east of the city, in the Qimen Pavilion, four monks are living under an old tree, eating light tea and light meals.

In the past two years, Shen Gongbao traveled to the prehistoric continent, coaxing and tricking them back to find four qi refiners.

Taoist Kaishan, as his name suggests, is extremely powerful and possesses the ability to split rocks and open mountains.

The god-walking Taoist mastered the technique of anointing the soles of his feet, and ran on land like the wind.

The Taoist who holds the body has mastered the art of holding the body, and those who are not immortals cannot move for a quarter of an hour after being hit by the art of holding the body.

……

The last monk is the dragon-bearded tiger, born of the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon, and at the same time, he is a complete fool.

The four of them were eating light tea and light rice under the old tree, and the dragon beard and tiger had already eaten eighteen bowls of rice. At this moment, they couldn't help frowning, "It is said that there are big fish and meat in Chaoge every day, so when we get here, we will give them every day." We eat rice, vegetables and rotten leaves, which is worse than my life in the mountains, it’s too much!"

Taoist Kaishan also responded, "Fellow Daoist Longxuhu is right, I eat only vegetable leaves every day without seeing any meat, I can barely walk."

"The most important thing is that there is no good wine, how can we live?"

"We must ask Fellow Daoist Shen to give us an explanation!"

Although the four are monks, they are very attached to the mortal things. Shen Gongbao just promised them prosperity, wealth, and big fish and meat to lure the four of them here.

The four of them ate rice and vegetables for a month, and finally couldn't take it anymore today, so they went to Shen Gongbao for an explanation.

Longxuhu was the largest in size, had the largest appetite, and also had the strongest resentment in his heart. He swaggered ahead and saw Shen Gongbao, and immediately shouted: "Friend Shen, how dare you deceive me like this?"

Taoist Kaishan also helped out, "That's right, it's a shame that we believe you so much!"

The other two Taoists also nodded quickly, "Yes!"

Seeing the menacing approach of the four, Shen Gongbao chuckled inwardly, with doubts on his face, "Huh? What happened? Could it be that the poor don't care about your food?"

The dragon beard and tiger were about to rant, but when they heard Shen Gongbao's words, they also shook their heads, "It's either that they don't care about food, or..."

Shen Gongbao immediately asked back: "Isn't the poor's food full?"

Taoist Kaishan nodded, "It's just about being full, it's just..."

Shen Gongbao sighed again, and said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Longxuhu eats eighteen bowls of rice for a meal, fellow Daoist Kaishan eats fifteen bowls of rice for a meal, and fellow Daoists Shenxing and Dingshen eat less. A total of 159 bowls of rice is eaten for one meal, three meals a day, and the four fellow Taoists eat [-] bowls of rice a day."

"The four fellow Taoists have lived in Pindao for more than a month, that is, they have eaten a total of 4770 bowls of rice. During this month, has Pindao driven all the fellow Taoists to do things?"

Listening to Shen Gongbao's calculation, the four of them couldn't help showing embarrassment on their faces. They only wanted to eat enough on weekdays, so how could they eat so much.

Shen Gongbao looked at the increasingly dilapidated medical clinic, and said with some heartache, "Fortunately, Pindao opened the medical clinic a few years ago, and he has accumulated some savings over the years. Today, it is the crime of Pindao that he let fellow Taoists eat poorly. Also, now I will go to the market to buy some meat, even if it is a waste of money, I will let fellow Taoists eat well!"

After listening to the four monks, they also looked around the medical hall. At this moment, they seemed to have an illusion. When the four of them first came, the hall was rich and precious things could be seen everywhere. But looking at it now, it seems to have become dilapidated. "Could it be that the four of us are poor and fellow Daoist Shen...?"

As soon as this idea popped up, the four of them felt even more ashamed. Since the four of them came here, they have eaten five thousand bowls of rice and still haven't done anything...

Seeing Shen Gongbao walking out, the four of them hurriedly said, "You don't need to buy meat anymore, you can just eat rice, and we still have vegetables to serve."

Shen Gongbao was about to go out, but he turned back, "Is what fellow Taoist said true?"

"Really, this white rice is crystal clear, soft, glutinous and sweet, very delicious." The four said.

"Since the four fellow Taoists said so, the poor Taoist will not go out to buy meat." Shen Gongbao laughed.

"Four fellow Taoists, please rest assured. I didn't bring you here to live a poor life with the poor Taoist priest, but to promise wealth and honor to the fellow Taoists. If I can enter the court and become an official, I will definitely take care of some fellow Taoists." Shen Gongbao continued to draw big cakes.

The four of them were resentful for not being able to eat meat just now, but now listening to Shen Gongbao's heartfelt words, the four of them have confidence in the future...

The reason why Shen Gongbao dared to say such words was not aimlessly.

In the past two years, while Shen Gongbao traveled to the prehistoric times, he also visited various capitals of the human race. Shen Gongbao clearly felt the increase of hostility between heaven and earth.

……

The world of the human race was in chaos, and the princes attacked each other, and two major opposing groups were faintly formed.

Under the governance of Jiang Ziya, Xiqi has prospered day by day, and countless small princes of the human race are competing to attach themselves. Xiqi's economy, people's livelihood, and military development are developing rapidly, which is enough to rival Chaoge.

Dashang, Chaoge, and Emperor Xin are the names of the co-lords of the world, but their names have long been inconsistent with the reality. There are countless rebels from the princes and princes of the world, and the signs of decline are getting worse.

Most of the edicts issued from Chaoge to the princes in various places have also become waste paper.

The situation of Xiqi vs. Chaoge seems to have been formed.

In Longde Hall, there is a rare court meeting.

Di Xin was sitting at the front, Nine-Tailed Fox was sitting beside Di Xin, Fei Zhongyou was on the left and right, and His Highness was a hundred officials.

Among the hundred officials, Bigan is the first on the right and is the head of civil officials, while Huang Feihu is the first on the left and is the head of military officials.

The faces of all the officials behind the two were not very good-looking. When the king first took over the country, the world was peaceful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Why is the situation so corrupt today?The princes of the world have long given up the big business!
"Is the foundation of the big business going to be broken in our hands?" His Highness and the officials were very angry.

Di Xin took the main seat, resting his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes and did not speak, neither did Nine-Tailed Fox, Fei Zhongyouhun and others.

Your Highness, Bigan and Huang Feihu were also silent.

Longde Hall, quiet, terribly quiet.

At this time, the fourth civil servant behind Bigan walked out in grief and anger, walked to the front of the main hall, knelt down towards Emperor Xin and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, the world has been corrupted to such an extent today. Your Majesty cannot shirk responsibility, but the main responsibility lies with the three people in front of you." People, please also ask the king to abolish Daji and punish Fei Zhongyouhun!"

Di Xin still held his forehead with one hand, closed his eyes and meditated.

Fei Zhongyouhun, seeing this scene has long been commonplace, the king trusts him very much.

The two walked down the steps without any haste, knelt down on the ground as well, and cried to Emperor Xin, "Your Majesty, we are loyal, it is really disrespectful for this person to dare to accuse His Majesty of negligence. Kill him!"

Nine-Tailed Fox also whispered beside him: "Yes, Your Majesty, Fei Zhong and You Hun have always been loyal to His Majesty, what evil could they have in mind?"

Di Xin still closed his eyes, thinking, as if nothing in the outside world could affect him.

At this moment, an eunuch hurriedly ran from outside the hall to the main hall and shouted loudly: "I heard that the grand master has returned to the imperial court in triumph!"

In the Longde Palace, on the main seat, Di Xin opened his eyes suddenly, with supreme majesty in his eyes, stood up slowly, and the emperor's purple air flowed all over his body, and said solemnly: "All civil and military officials, follow the lonely king. Respectfully welcome the grand master to return to court!"
