Chapter 533: Participation in Politics (Subscription Request)

The atmosphere in the temple was stagnant and depressing for a moment. It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. The expressions on everyone's faces were solemn and dignified, yet hinted with a hint of expectation as they quietly waited for the god's decision.

After returning to his seat, Dasitian looked at Lin Rui up and down with great curiosity, his eyes full of inquiry.

A moment later, the voice of the Eastern Abyss rang out again: "Are there any detailed rules?"

Everyone in the hall was cheered up when they heard this. They never expected that the God would actually agree!

They all tried to suppress the turbulent emotions in their hearts and maintain a solemn and dignified expression.

Lin Rui, however, bowed with a look of shame and said, "Your Majesty, regulating the trade with demons is just my humble opinion after taking over the command of the assassination bureau. I am young and inexperienced, and I have only a superficial understanding of state affairs. How dare I talk about any detailed regulations?
As the saying goes, "One should not meddle in matters outside one's authority." I believe the detailed regulations and rules governing the Heavenly Demon trade should be formulated by the Divine Envoys and the Great Song Cabinet. This would be more appropriate and comprehensive. Furthermore, whether the policy of establishing embassies and opening up trade will be implemented depends on the outcome of this peace agreement. Is the Heavenly Demon sincere? And how sincere is that? I have to admit that these two policies are indeed of great benefit to the Heavenly Demons, so they must make concessions on the specific terms of the peace agreement.

Lin Rui paused, his words resounding, "I only know that if the imperial court can liberalize and regulate the trade with demons, then the manpower of the Traitor Assassination Bureau under my jurisdiction will be greatly spared. I will do my utmost to combat smuggling until it is eradicated!"

At this time, the Emperor and the First Divine Envoy were both thinking that if they could really start the trade with the demons and implement a license access system, they would have to do their utmost to crack down on smuggling.

"Excellent!" Dong Zhi Shen Yuan's words were filled with clear praise. "As you say, the Divine Envoy Supervisor will discuss the laws and regulations governing the Heavenly Demon Trade with the Great Song Dynasty Cabinet, as well as the location of the trading port. Once they reach an agreement, they can submit a report."

At this moment, a "Da! Da!" sound was heard from the platform. It seemed that the god's fingers were tapping on the platform, shaking everyone's hearts.

"The Marquis of Zhenguo is loyal and selfless in his service to the country. He deserves to be commended and granted the right to establish his own government office and sit in the cabinet to hear and discuss government affairs!"

The emperor and several gods' messengers couldn't help but tremble at this moment, and looked up at the platform.

The second envoy was shocked, wondering how the God loved Lin Hao so much?

The so-called "opening a government office" means allowing officials to establish their own offices and select their own subordinates, who will also regard them as their ruler in the future.

As for entering the cabinet to listen to and discuss government affairs, it means that Lin Hao can directly interfere in major national affairs in the future.

The scary thing is that this boy is not only a third-rank priest, but also has great divine support. Once he has any objections to government affairs, it will be difficult for the several university scholars in the Song Dynasty cabinet, including the prime minister, to resist him.

The second divine messenger thought about this and looked at the emperor with sympathy.

The powers bestowed upon Lin Hao by the gods were all those of the former crown prince! Decades ago, the cabinet was governed by the crown prince.

Now people outside the court say that Lin Hao has no title of crown prince, but he is the crown prince in reality. In fact, this is a bit exaggerated. Lin Hao's power has not reached the level of the previous crown prince.

Now, this Marquis Zhenguo has truly become the crown prince, and even has more power than him.

At least the previous prince was not able to take control of such a key government office as the Bureau of Assassination of Traitors.

The emperor's face was gloomy and he remained silent.

He knew that this was a warning from the Abyss of the East, not only because of the blasphemy case a few days ago, but also because of some things related to the former prince.

The God of the Eastern Abyss shines brightly across the world, seeing thousands of miles away. How could he not perceive the truth behind the late Crown Prince's affair? This person is simply hiding it.

This case of blasphemy obviously made God extremely disappointed in him.

The emperor could not help but clench his fists tightly, with anger and hatred in his eyes.

Du Xinran!
Unfortunately, Duke Anguo Du Xinran and the missing masters of his clan have not been found alive or dead to this day, making it impossible for the imperial court to find them. Otherwise, the emperor would have to cut their bodies into pieces and scatter their ashes.

Although the imperial court has detained all nine members of Du Xinran's clan, young and old, and will execute them by slicing in the autumn, these people are only distant relatives of Du Xinran, and it is difficult for them to vent the emperor's hatred!

However, according to the astrologer's divination, the star representing Du Xinran has disappeared from the sky, and it is very likely that he has been killed by the demon! This makes the emperor even more angry, and Du Xinran's death makes it even more difficult for him to escape suspicion.

Then Du Xinran must still be holding some secrets, otherwise why would the demon want to silence him?
The God then added, "Lin Hao's attack outside the city and the rebellion of the Demon Cult in northern Jingzhou, both of which were observed and divined by the Grand Astrologer, showed traces of the Abyss. Judging from the current evidence, it was definitely Purgatory's doing!"

Lin Rui couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, thinking that as expected, when the Eastern Abyss fell into divine sleep, he was still concerned about the situation in the lower world.

But this guy actually asked the Grand Astronomical Observer to do a divination about the attack he suffered outside the city. Is it necessary to be so cautious?
Lin Rui became optimistic about Han Baxian's future again. Observing stars is a very energy-consuming task for an astronomer.

No matter how rich his life essence is, it will not be able to withstand the consumption of the frequent stargazing and divination by the Grand Astronomical Master.

Eastern Abyss continued, "In recent years, Purgatory has been making frequent movements. Not only has it corrupted my ninth candidate for Divine Envoy, interfering with and provoking peace talks between me and the Heavenly Demons, but it has also caused unrest in the north of Luojing. Their intentions are sinister and must be guarded against. The Divine Envoy Supervisory Office and the Imperial City Administration must conduct a thorough investigation inside and outside Luojing as soon as possible, eliminating all traitors and rebels associated with Purgatory. At the same time, we must be prepared to resist the Purgatory army. All necessary weapons and provisions must be fully stockpiled, and all storage must be thoroughly accounted for."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor and several divine messengers all looked solemn and bowed in response, "We will obey the divine command!"

Lin Rui also followed them in saluting, knowing that the focus of the Assassination Bureau's work in the future must shift to Purgatory.

"There is also a rebellion in northern Jingzhou. We must handle it with caution and quell it as soon as possible."

Dong Zhi Shen Yuan paused and looked in Lin Rui's direction. "Lin Hao, the commander of the Traitor Assassination Bureau, is capable and promising. He is a young and prudent man. The Divine Envoy can appoint him as the Recruiting Envoy of Jingzhou, to lead the suppression of the rebellion in Jingzhou."

Luo Wangshu was horrified.

Although Lin Hao held great power in the court at this time, he also became the target of public criticism.

In addition, the serious cases that Lin Hao has solved one after another in the past six months have brought him countless hatred.

Currently, there are at least eight thousand people in the whole world who want to kill Lin Hao. This guy is now staying in Luojing City, and his safety can only be guaranteed by the God and her suppressing him.

But even so, Lin Hao still encountered several assassination attempts, and the scale of each one was stronger than the last.

What is Lin Hao's current cultivation level? Only the sixth realm, which can barely allow him to gain a foothold in the capital. But once he leaves the capital, those ninth realm masters will have no worries.

The God is now asking Lin Hao to leave the capital to quell the rebellion. Isn't this sending him to his death?
Luo Wangshu's mind was moved again, and his expression calmed down.
The other emperors and several gods' messengers originally thought the same as Luo Wangshu, but they later realized that since the gods had given Lin Hao the treatment of entering the cabinet to participate in politics, how could they let him go to die?

So, maybe God has other intentions in doing this?

At this moment, Lin Rui felt a slight warmth between his eyebrows.
That was his national dragon seal, and there seemed to be something extra inside.

Lin Rui sensed it for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The Abyss of the East not only increased the authority of his National Protection Dragon Seal, but also gave him the power to protect himself and save his life.

It's a pity that this power can only last for half a month to twenty days. After 15 days, it will gradually weaken, and its power will become weaker day by day.

Lin Rui immediately started to have a headache again. This half month to twenty days was obviously the deadline given to him by the Eastern Abyss.

The problem is that since the Purgatory forces are involved in the rebellion in northern Jingzhou, it means that the situation there is very difficult.

Lin Rui thought of the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy who was imprisoned in the Divine Prison by him.

Lin Rui realized that if he wanted to quell the Jingzhou rebellion as soon as possible, he had to rely on the power of this demon cult's envoy.
