567 Occupy the Hill
After waving his hand and lifting Jia Rong up out of thin air, Shi Zhongkui looked at Jia Lan and said, "Lan'er has been working hard for many years and has never made any mistakes. She might as well quit her job at Emperor Dongyue's Mansion and come to serve under Emperor Yama."
Jia Lan was naturally eager to be promoted. Besides, he had been a low-ranking official in the Dongyue Emperor's palace for hundreds of years, and he had already become very good at it. He even often felt that he had no ability but no platform to display it.
Now that I can directly enter the underworld as an official, and still work under the fifth palace of Yama, the busiest and most powerful of the ten Yamas, the Emperor of Yama, it is really a step to success, and the future is boundless.
However, when King Yama heard this, his expression became a little unnatural.
All ten of us were summoned by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to talk for an entire afternoon, and after making a lot of profit, we agreed to help the Western Sect lobby Shi Zhongkui, a guy who was always looking for trouble for the Western Sect.
But now it seems that the one who has paid the most is himself, so King Yama naturally feels a little unhappy.
He couldn't help but look at King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang.
The two Lords of Yama could not tell that King Yama felt that he was at a disadvantage.
After thinking silently for a moment, he nodded slightly and agreed to make some compensation afterwards.
But Shi Zhongkui was not dismissed so easily.
Seeing that the three Yan Juns had reached a tacit understanding, they looked at Xue Biao again and said, "Xiandi was a bachelor of the first-grade cabinet before his death. He has considerable knowledge, insights and life experience.
He has been idle in the underworld for hundreds of years. It would be a pity if this knowledge and ability were not used in doing practical things for the people.
How about being a general judge in the first hall?"
Shi Zhongkui looked at King Qin Guang and said the last sentence, "How good".
After hearing this, King Qin Guang's face turned dark.
It is true that the position of general judge is not a main official position, and it is not even considered as an assistant official, but the actual authority is not small.
Not only is he in charge of money, food, litigation and other matters, but he also secretly has the responsibility of supervising the superiors.
Even the Jade Emperor wanted to send people to the underworld to occupy such positions, but not to mention Tong San, even similar official positions could not be placed in the underworld.
The most important thing is that the first palace governs life and death in the world, good and bad luck in the underworld.
If Xue Biao really becomes the general judge of the first palace, he will not talk about supervision.
A good person's life will eventually be led by yin and misfortune, and he or she will go to heaven, or be reincarnated into a wealthy family. Those who have both merit and demerit will be reincarnated as human beings. Those who do more evil and do less good will be sent to the second palace to be punished. The power is basically controlled by Xue Biao.
Moreover, Shi Zhongkui's teacher Taiyi Zhenren himself had the right to control whether those who practice Taoism in the Three Realms and have great achievements and blessings can be taken to heaven.
At that time, cultivators and mortals, as well as the Yinsi souls who want to go to heaven and enjoy the rights of immortality, will be controlled by the Taiyi lineage, and the three Lords of Hell will suddenly feel that the pressure is greater than the mountain.
Regarding the benefits given by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, no matter how you calculate it, it seems that you are still at a loss, or a big loss.
And when I think about it, I feel that it is impossible for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to hand over this right to Shi Zhongkui.
But if Shi Zhongkui refuses to agree at this time, and Shi Zhongkui is invited by himself and others to negotiate, not only will he be offended immediately, but also both parties will be offended if he fails to fulfill the Western Religion's instructions.
King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang and King Yama secretly thought that none of these disciples from well-known families were easy to get along with, and all of them were greedy and unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss.
Xue Biao suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the three emperors of the underworld. Seeing that their faces were extremely tangled, they looked at Shi Zhongkui worriedly.
Shi Zhongkui sneered, not worried at all that the three Lords of Hell would refuse.
It seems that the underworld has suffered a loss, but they have also gained a lot of benefits.
As for Western religions, in order to spread Buddhism eastward, the position of the third-in-command in a palace is really nothing.
After all, although the power is great, it cannot be unscrupulous, let alone no one can restrict Xue Biao.
Besides, if we don't fight back hard, who will be afraid of himself as the great governor in the future?
After a while, the King of Chu Jiang hurriedly raised his hands to Shi Zhongkui and said, "The immortal appearance is too important. Brothers and I don't dare to admit it directly. We can only ask Ksitigarbha to see Ksitigarbha together and let him make the decision."
Shi Zhongkui waved his hand indifferently, and he really needed to inform Master Taiyi and Taishang Laojun in advance.
This meeting was concerned about the position of general judge in the first hall of Yanjun in the Tenth Hall. It was also a good time for the meeting. Shi Zhongkui was not sure whether he would get this position and whether there would be any problems in the end.
After the three Lords of Hell left, Shi Zhongkui originally planned to go back to Heaven by himself, but after thinking about it, he called Judge Cui and Xue Biao over.
It is true that he is leading this matter in name, but by running the official position and building relationships himself, it seems too eager and serious.
If you can't protect the Jade Emperor, they will take the opportunity to get stuck, or seek benefits.
If Laojun and Master Taiyi think there is no problem, then they will force the Western Sect and the Underworld to submit a memorial, and they will promote it themselves. If something goes wrong, the Underworld and the Western Sect will bear the main responsibility.
After muttering in a low voice for a while, Judge Cui and Xue Biao waved their hands and sent them outside Miaoyan Palace with their overjoyed expressions.
As soon as they regained consciousness, the two heard a scolding voice, "How dare anyone dare to break into the Dongji Emperor's Palace."
A group of divine generals guarding the palace thought it was Shi Zhongkui, but when they saw the person clearly, they immediately became nervous.
Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui gave Judge Cui the Demon-Conquering Governor's Talisman.
Judge Cui held up his command talisman and shouted, "Your Majesty, Cui Yu, is the judge of the underworld. I am holding the order of the Governor. I am bringing my brother-in-law, the Governor, to see the Emperor of Dongji on something important."
When they heard that it was Shi Zhongkui who sent the two to heaven, and that Xue Biao was the eldest brother of Shi Zhongkui's wife, the guarding generals immediately became respectful.
Compared with Nezha, who was used to high positions and never cared about the feelings of Miaoyan Palace officials, Shi Zhongkui was so friendly and kind that people couldn't believe that he and Nezha were brothers.
Although it is impossible to give rewards every year and festival, when Master Taiyi celebrates his birthday, Shi Zhongkui, while giving great gifts every year, will also order Dansheng and Honghai'er, who later joined the family, to personally distribute a large amount of silver rewards in the name of Master Taiyi.
The real thing is given to the officials and soldiers of Miaoyan Palace.
Even the hard-working warriors were happy and happy to be given a lot of good wine, fruits and Yinde silver.
Anyway, Shi Zhongkui can receive hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of Yinde silver in interest every year from lending money in the underworld. He doesn't care about tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Moreover, the treasures, delicacies and other ordinary possessions given to him by the people below were indeed too many.
In the past, in the world of Red Mansions, there were only Ao Xianqi from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, and Jia Lan and his wife Ao Xin, the princess of the Dragon Palace from the West Sea. They would deliver things from the sea to their doorsteps every now and then.
Later, the Bull Demon King and the Nine-Headed Insect were ordered to settle in the Earthly Immortal Realm. The two of them relied on the mountain spirits and wild monsters who took refuge, as well as the land and the mountain gods donated a lot of treasures.
Not to mention that the All Saint Dragon King wanted to find a backer, so he sent all the good things to Shi Zhongkui's mansion in the name of Hydra and the All Saint Princess.
Now that there is the Jinghe Dragon Palace lineage, there are even more things.
