Honghuang: Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 56 056 Battle for Position
Seeing that Hao Tian was in a bad mood, Yao Chi hurriedly tried to smooth things over:

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the new heaven should be composed of eight divisions of gods. Among them, the division of Dou should include the Five Dou Star Gods, the Nine Yao Star Officials, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and so on."

"This Dou Department is the most powerful department in the Heavenly Court. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Heavenly Court's Military Department. I feel that Dou Mu Yuanjun, who is in charge of the Dou Department, is more suitable for Junior Brother Gongming. What do you think, Emperor?"

Yao Chi's implication was that Liu Yu should forget about it, but they could make a concession and hand over the Dou Department to Zhao Gongming.

In Yao Chi's view, Wei Guang is the Ziwei Emperor, who is responsible for controlling the stars and sorting out the Zhoutian. This Dou Department should be under his command.

Taking a position that was originally intended for him to take instead of Liu Yu, this deal is not a loss.

Wei Guang looked at Yao Chi with a strange expression: "My Queen, if I am not mistaken, the Dou Department is originally under my command. I think it should not be considered as usurpation if I appoint a Dou Department Lord God for the convenience of management?"

"I feel that my junior sister Jin Ling is more suitable for the position of Dou Mu Yuanjun than junior brother Gong Ming. What do you think, Madam?"

Yao Chi's expression froze. She had planned everything but had not expected that Wei Guang actually knew the connection between the priests in heaven. She suddenly didn't know what to say.

She really wanted to retort to Wei Guang that you have the right to appoint, but His Majesty also has the right to refuse, but she couldn't do anything.

Because Wei Guang is not only one of the Six Heavenly Kings, but also the deputy leader of the Jie Religion, he should be given the face he deserves, just like the Jie Religion people were willing to humble themselves and give face to Haotian at the beginning.

Haotian couldn't help but glare again when he heard that.

Good fellow, you want the Six Gods, and the Lord of the Dou Department wants the Lord of the Thunder Department, so the next one is the Lord of the Thunder Department? How about letting you be the Emperor of Heaven?
The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole is responsible for commanding the Department of Thunder. Once it is handed over to Zhao Gongming, Wei Guang will definitely take advantage of the situation to ask for the Lord of Thunder.

Of the eight divisions in Heaven, the two strongest divisions have all fallen into the hands of Jiejiao. Then what kind of position is Haotian as the Emperor of Heaven? Will he still have a say in Heaven in the future?
What is the difference between this and the Puppet Emperor?
As Haotian and Yaochi fell silent, the atmosphere seemed a little dull for a moment.

Wei Guang, Zhao Gongming and the others were fine. They all looked calm and composed, as if they were not afraid at all that Haotian would not agree. However, Taibai Jinxing and the other two felt a little uncomfortable.

As the saying goes, if the master humiliates the minister, he will die.

Taibai and the other two were the first to follow Haotian and were considered his confidants. If Haotian was sidelined, would they be okay?
Taibai, Jinxing and the other two wanted to support Haotian, but they were not qualified in terms of status or cultivation, and would inevitably offend the Jiejiao group if they spoke up.

By then, I’m afraid I won’t even know how I died.

Didn’t you see that even Haotian and Yaochi can’t do anything to Wei Guang? They are nothing.

"Your Majesty, Madam, Emperor, the fate of this divine position is of great importance. Do you think we should go to the High Heaven Palace to discuss it?"

Although he was afraid of offending Wei Guang and others, it was not a good idea to remain in a stalemate, so Taibai finally spoke up.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Guang and others focused their eyes on him. Taibai felt his hair stand on end, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

My heart suddenly rose to my throat.

The barefoot immortal and Juanlian looked at him with admiration, and they thought to themselves, "You are really not afraid of death."

How dare you interrupt in this situation?

"Taibai is right. It is indeed not appropriate to discuss such matters here in the South Heaven Gate. Your Majesty, please." Haotian gave Taibai an appreciative look. He really needed some time to think of a countermeasure.

"Your Majesty, please." Wei Guang didn't care.

Afterwards, everyone walked towards the Lingxiao Palace, and during the way, Haotian and Yaochi kept communicating through voice transmission, discussing how to deal with this matter.

After a moment of discussion, a decision was finally made, and at this moment everyone entered the Lingxiao Palace.

Entering the Lingxiao Palace, Yao Chi and Haotian climbed up the high throne step by step, and sat on the emperor and empress seats respectively, with unparalleled imperial majesty.

Because Wei Guang had not yet officially taken office, there was naturally no place for him here, so he could only stand below, and his momentum was inferior. After sitting down, Haotian looked down at Wei Guang, as if he had found some sense of superiority: "Emperor, this Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor is not yet born, what do you think of the Eastern Pole Qinghua Emperor?"

That’s right, this is the countermeasure discussed by Haotian and Yaochi.

Emperor Qinghua is responsible for ruling the underworld, but with Houtu and the Wu clan in the underworld, there is no chance for outsiders to interfere.

It is equivalent to saying that Emperor Qinghua is just a figurehead with no real power. It is not a loss to use the powerless position of the Six Imperials to protect Emperor Changsheng.

The most important thing is that Wei Guang and others couldn't find any faults.

What, you said Emperor Qinghua has no real power?

Isn't this noisy?

The underworld is right there. If you want real power, go ask Hou Tu for it.

The purpose of building a new Heavenly Palace is to expand the territory and take back the power. Otherwise, why would I need you? You are here to serve me as a master.

Speaking of this, I have to mention a digression. The underworld is not nominally under the jurisdiction of Hou Tu. She is only the lord of the underworld. The ones who truly rule the underworld should be Emperor Qinghua and Emperor Fengdu.

Wei Guang had to admit that Haotian and Yaochi were still somewhat capable. In the end, they actually played a trick on him. The key point was that Wei Guang couldn't find anything to say.

You wanted the position of Six Imperial Lords, and I gave it to you, but then you said it had no real power.

By then, even if he has the protection of the deputy leader of Jiejiao, Haotian can take the opportunity to get angry, and in the end even Emperor Qinghua might lose everything.

After all, Haotian has the final say in heaven.

He was willing to let Wei Guang bargain, not because of Wei Guang himself, but because of his identity as the deputy leader of the Jiejiao Sect and because of the Sage Tongtian.

Putting aside these two, Wei Guang is nothing.

"can."

Although he felt somewhat helpless, it didn't really matter. What he was asking for for Zhao Gongming was only the Six Imperial Titles, not any real power.

As for real power, having the Dou Department is enough.

"Good." Seeing Wei Guang relax, Haotian also breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Jin Ling: "Then Junior Brother Jin Ling will follow what the Emperor said and take the position of Dou Mu Yuanjun."

If Wei Guang took a step back, Haotian would naturally need to take a step back as well. This step would be the position of the main god of Ziwei.

Wei Guang nodded and gave Zhao Gongming and Jin Ling a look. The two understood and immediately stepped forward to bow and thank him. There was nothing wrong with their attitude.

Seeing this, Haotian felt much better, but when he looked at Winged Fairy, he felt a headache again.

I almost forgot, there's one more.

“Let Winged Immortal be the guardian deity of heaven.” This time Haotian learned his lesson and no longer dared to give the choice to Wei Guang. He directly decided on the deity status of Winged Immortal.

The so-called guardian deity is the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King of later generations, who is responsible for building an army and protecting the emperor.

Seeing that Haotian, the sixth brother, simply refused to discuss the matter with him, Wei Guang was helpless. However, the guardian god of heaven was not bad either, as he was a second-grade god after all.

Finally, it was the arrangement of the outer disciples.
