Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 848: Three Rites, Three Officials, and Twelve Palaces

Since Jijing was unified by Emperor Wu, a completely centralized system has been established.

Emperor Wu divided the entire Jijing into one emperor, three palaces, six halls and eighteen floors for the convenience of management.

But later, because Emperor Wu was mean and ungrateful, he was betrayed by the three palaces.

This resulted in Jijing being leaderless until Dengdie Xiu transformed into Huayingren after ten thousand years to unify Jijing. Then he established the Eighteen-floor Alliance, invaded Kujing on a large scale, and destroyed the First Hall of the Demon Realm.

Afterwards, after Wu Huang Ban Chi Jian came back from the power-absorbing stone, he unified Jijing again. Although he maintained friendly relations with Yi Ye Shu on the surface, he secretly colluded with the Ghost Emperor and Wan Mo Tian Zhi, waiting for an opportunity to deal with Yi Ye Shu and Su Huan Zhen. In the end, he still died under Yi Ye Shu's Tian Long Roar after the Tianhe was overlapped. Since then, there has been no news from Jijing.

Today's Jijing is still in the same situation as when Emperor Wu unified the country, but the entire structure has changed to the Three Rites, Three Departments, and Twelve Palaces, with the Holy Emperor as the supreme leader.

After Emperor Wu's death, the original three palaces, six courtyards and eighteen floors declined, and Jijing entered a period of turmoil.

After several twists and turns, the Holy Emperor finally defeated his twin brother, the leader of the remnant sect, the Xiong King, with the help of the Vicious-Eyed Military Commander.

Xiang Duxiu, a master under his command, even captured the king alive, thus unifying Jijing and completely putting an end to the chaos.

After unifying Jijie, the Holy Emperor established the system of Three Rites, Three Officials and Twelve Palaces.

Although the Holy Emperor is the leader, when discussing matters, the six ministries discuss together to maintain a balance of power among all parties.

The Three Instruments are the highest leadership bodies in Jijing. They are Ziwei Palace, headed by the Holy Emperor, which acts as an arbitrator and has the power to issue orders directly to various departments; Pojun Mansion, led by the Sharp-Eyed Military Governor, is in charge of intelligence, internal trials and punishments, responsible for supervising the movements of various courts and departments, secretly investigating whether there are rebellious thoughts and actions that may destroy the peace of Jijing, and has a huge influence; and Taiyin Division, which has always been presided over by the three Sihuans. By observing the changes in the Zichen Qi, it can predict the future evolution of the situation in Jijing.

The three courts are Tianji, Tianfu and Tianliang.

These three courts serve as the administrative agencies of Jijing, and are under the jurisdiction of twelve palaces.

The head of Tianjiyuan is Taijunzhi, and under his jurisdiction are four palaces: Qingyang, Tuoluo, Wuqu and Wenhua.

The head of Tianfu Court is Shidao Hou, and under his jurisdiction there are Santai, Longchi, Fengge, Bazuo and four palaces.

The head of Tianliang Court is Lu Bingxian, and he is in charge of four palaces: Jieshen, Fenggao, Lianzhen and Guchen.

The six ministries jointly make decisions on domestic and foreign affairs by the three instruments and the three departments.

The place where the evil spirit attacked at night before was the Qingyang Palace, one of the twelve palaces under the Tianji Academy.

The Lord of the Qingyang Hall is named 'Xing Wucuo'. Although the evil spirit was repelled this time, it also aroused the vigilance of the Tianji Academy.

The next day, Taijun Zhi, who was in charge of the internal security and public security of Jijing, sent someone to summon Xing Wucuo to inquire about the relevant matters regarding the entry of the demon world Buddha into Jijing.

While the people in Jijing were discussing how to deal with this unusual change, inside the Demon World Pagoda, the Buddha's twin bodies were preparing a plan to deal with Emperor Yuan Xie.

Aihuo Nurong said: "The power of Yuanxie Emperor should not be underestimated, and he has countless means. Once we fight him, we must ensure that he is killed with one strike."

"Among the many generals under his command, the only ones we can worry about are the two evil generals. As for intelligence, Emperor Yuan Xie has excellent intelligence himself, and the wise and cunning Si Wujun also serves under him."

After listening to Aihuo Nurong's words, Tianchi Jiye said: "The three sects have been hiding for a long time, and these people under Yuan Xiehuang are just the stepping stone to spread their reputation."

At this time, the hook-headed purple snake came to report, "Reporting to the two seats, outside the demon world pagoda, there is a person who calls himself 'no attachment', who wants to see the two seats, saying that he represents the Fire House Buddha Prison, and wants to discuss cooperation with the two seats in order to deal with the Yuan Xie Emperor."

Hearing this, Aihuo Nurong laughed and said, "Tianchi, you see, the existence of Yuanxie Huang has made some people unable to hold back."

Tian Chi Ji Ye said to Gou Shou Zi Yan: "Bring the person in."

"Yes."

Afterwards, a man covered his head and face, looking mysterious, and followed the hook-headed purple snake into the main hall of the Zhiyaoshi Buddha. Aihuo Nurong asked, "Well, you are Wuzhixiang?"

Wuzhixiang introduced himself: "I am Samadhi Linggong Wuzhixiang, meet Jizuo, female seat."

Aihuo Nurong said straight to the point: "Your Excellency said that you came here to deal with Yuan Xie Huang. I just don't know what grudge you have with Yuan Xie Huang?"

Wuzhixiang said: "There is no grudge."

Aihuo Nurong guessed Wuzhixiang's purpose and said, "Oh, you also hope that the four realms will be united."

Wu Zhixiang said: "Only in a world without Zhulong can there be room for us to survive."

"Ha, Wuzhixiang, you are also a person with ulterior motives." Although Aihuonvrong knew that Wuzhixiang had other purposes, it was enough to deal with Yuanxiehuang, the common enemy.

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
Mo Dao Juechen and Yu Bufan are walking on the martial arts path.

Yu Bufan saw that Mo Dao Juechen looked unhappy, and asked with concern: "Juechen, you have looked a little off since yesterday, are you feeling unwell?"

Mo Dao Juechen expressed his worries, "To be honest, I don't know. Zhizhi suddenly felt a palpitation, as if something big was about to happen."

Hearing what Mo Dao Juechen said, Yu Bufan did not dare to be careless and suggested: "How about this, we go to Shili Danqing first to find Ya Shao and the others, and then go to Tianxia Fengdao to meet up with Xiao Ri Biao."

"Alright."

Just as the two finished their words, a terrifying murderous aura erupted in the air.

Mo Dao Juechen said alertly: "Bufan, be careful. There is murderous intent."

"Be careful too."

"The sword—it's me, I am the sword—" In the light, the sword god appeared and issued a killing order, "Mo Dao Juechen, you are one of the five dragons of the sky. Xiao Jiandun has gone down to scout the way for you."

"What!? Yin Rong he..." Mo Dao Juechen was shocked when he heard the bad news.

Yu Bufan quickly said: "Juechen, don't be influenced by this person."

"Bufan, don't worry." Mo Dao Juechen came back to his senses, glared at the enemy in front of him, and raised the Desert Divine Sword behind him, "Anyone who is Yuan Xiehuang's man must die."

The Sword God remained calm, "Really? Then show me your Sword Dragon Eye. This way, you won't have any regrets."

"As you wish." Mo Dao Juechen's eyes flashed with blue light, which was exactly the state of Daolong opening his eyes.

The first move he made was a unique one, "A thousand shadows piercing the sky."

One sword contains thousands of moves, countless sword qi are like rain falling from the sky, covering the whole sky.

Seeing this, the Sword God only uttered two words slowly, "Too shallow."

With a wave of his hand, a huge sword energy broke through the sea and waves, breaking the extraordinary sword style.

Mo Dao Juechen was immediately wounded and blood flowed from his mouth.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Yu Bufan flew to join the battlefield, "Juechen, let me help you."

"Okay, you and I will advance and retreat together."

Looking at the two people who shared the same hatred for the enemy, the Sword God said: "The only order I received was to eliminate the five dragons of Yutian. Yu Bufan, you are not among them. If you retreat, you can keep your life."
