Chapter 725 The Fall of Houtu Temple
Jiang Ziya jumped off the Star Tower, and some soldiers and court ladies knew about it. They all thought that Jiang Ziya fell to pieces this time and his brains burst out. However, when he got off the Star Tower, he didn't see Jiang Ziya's body, which was surprising.
No matter how he tried, the news that Jiang Ziya was forced to death by King Zhou had already spread in the palace. At this time, Yang Ren, the senior official, came into the Meridian Gate. Hearing the noise in Zhaixing Tower, he asked the soldiers guarding this question. Only then did Yang Ren know what had happened.
Immediately, Yang Ren rushed to the Star Reaching Tower to seek justice for Jiang Ziya. Of course, he still had important things to report.
On the Star-Zhaing Tower, King Zhou looked at Daji and said, "Jiang Ziya has already jumped to his death. I don't know who should take charge of this project."
Daji sneered in her heart, how could she not know that Jiang Ziya had already escaped with the help of Earth Escape, but to her surprise, Jiang Ziya's Earth Escape was so fast that she couldn't catch up. If she could catch up with Jiang Ziya just now, she would definitely smash him to pieces.
"If this platform were to be built, no one but Chonghou Hu would be able to succeed." Daji smiled charmingly and said slowly.
Even though King Zhou agreed, he asked Chonghou Hu to come and supervise the construction of Lutai. At this time, the official Yang Ren asked to see him. Although King Zhou was dissatisfied, Yang Ren held an important position, so there must be something important to see him. , even if it is passed into the Star Reaching Tower.
After a while, Yang Ren came to the Zhaixing Tower and bowed to King Zhou. King Zhou said calmly: "What memorial do you have?"
Yang Ren said respectfully: "I have learned the way to govern the world. The king is wise and the ministers are upright. They obey the advice. Only teachers and protectors are useful. Loyalty and goodness are relatives. Traitors and fawns are far away. When dealing with foreign countries, obey the people's will. The rewards and punishments should not be inappropriate. Then the four seas will be obedient, all directions will admire virtue, and benevolent government will be applied to others, then the world will obey and all people will be happy. This is what the Holy Lord does.
Now your Majesty believes in the concubine's words, but does not listen to her loyal words and builds a deer platform. Your Majesty only knows how to have fun, sing, dance, and enjoy feasts for your own pleasure, which brings sorrow to all the people. I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to enjoy this pleasure, and will suffer from internal troubles first. If your majesty is not in a hurry to rectify it, I will be afraid that your majesty's troubles will not be cured. "
King Zhou was tired of hearing these words all day long. He didn't know why. These ministers said these words every time he saw him, which gave him a headache. He thought, aren't these people afraid of death? He remembered that he had executed many ministers because of these things.
"Tell me, what are my faults, what are the faults of Empress Su, and why do you ministers do this one after another?" King Zhou suppressed his anger and said slowly.
"So that your Majesty will know that your Majesty has three dangers outside and one danger inside. Your Majesty will listen to your words. There are three dangers outside: the first harm is Dong Bohou Jiang Wenhuan, who has millions of soldiers. He wants to avenge his father, but the wandering soul has no peace in the soldiers. After three years of hard fighting, all the money and food were exhausted, and food and supplies were becoming increasingly difficult.
The second victim, Nan Bohou Eshun, innocently killed his father for His Majesty's sake. A large number of troops attacked Sanshan Pass day and night. Deng Jiugong also fought hard for many years. His treasury was empty and the army and the people were disappointed.
The third harm is that it has been heard that the Grand Master has been on an expedition against the enemy in the North Sea for more than ten years, and now he has not been able to return home. The victory or defeat has not been decided, and the fate has not yet been determined. Your Majesty, why would you listen to slander and kill honorable men? Humei tends to be obedient and does not ask questions about what is said. The villain is approaching the king every day, and the gentleman is retreating every day. The three harms are desolation and chaos from all directions. An ancient saying goes: ‘If the people are in chaos, the country will be destroyed, and the ruler will perish. ’ It’s a pity that Huayi has been settled for six hundred years, but it was acquired by others in one day. "
After hearing this, King Zhou cursed loudly: "A common man! How can a scholar with a pen dare to be ignorant and speak out against his master?"
At that time, he ordered the imperial officer to say: "Put out both of this man's eyes! I remember his meritorious service last year, so I will forgive him once."
Yang Ren was also angry. He didn't want to help such a cowardly king. He even said: "Although I will gouge out my eyes without hesitation, I am afraid that some of the princes in the world will not bear the pain of my eyes being gouged out."
The imperial officer helped Yang Ren downstairs. With a sound, his eyes were gouged out and he was brought upstairs.
At this time, Hongyun and Houtu happened to arrive at Chaoge, and were suddenly alarmed by a burst of resentment. Hongyun counted with his fingers and understood everything. He said to Houtu beside him: "There are few ghosts in the underworld. , this person is just right for the job.”
"This man is upright by nature, and he is loyal and courageous. He can also help my ten brothers and sisters deal with the affairs of the underworld." Hou Tu said, when even a Buddha's hand, a whirlwind suddenly passed by, blowing Yang Ren's The body was swept away.
King Zhou hurried to the building to avoid the sand. After a while, the wind stopped and the sand calmed down. The soldiers on both sides said to King Zhou: "Yang Ren's body was blown away by the wind."
However, King Zhou did not make any fuss, but was very normal. He said calmly: "Just like the previous time when I beheaded the prince and was blown away by the wind, it seems that such things are commonplace and not surprising. The construction of Lutai has been ordered to the marquis. Tiger; Yang Ren remonstrated with me and brought disaster on himself. Quickly issue an edict to Chonghou Hou!"
Yang Ren felt that he was stiff, but his body was extremely light, and he floated to a small temple ten miles outside Chaoge City. If there is a great power in the wild, he will definitely recognize that this small temple is not a real small temple. temple.
If this is a small temple, then there will be no big temples in the prehistoric times. This is the only temple of Emperor Chengtian who followed the example of Houde Guangda Houtu. It is also the temple of Houtu, but now it is a bit deserted.
"I didn't expect that in the human race, your temple would look like this. Alas, the world is so ignorant." Hongyun looked at this shabby little temple, feeling helpless. The only great power in the world who transcended the way of heaven, but the temple is like this. appearance.
"I don't care about the affairs of the world. I just care about our affairs." Hou Tu was very open-minded and said with a smile.
Yang Ren's soul had woken up. When he saw the two people in front of him, he calmed down. Thinking of the previous events, he already knew that he was probably dead, and the two people in front of him were his immortals. .
Thinking of this, Yang Ren quickly knelt down to Hongyun and Houtu: "Thank you two immortals for saving me. I am very grateful."
Hong Yun smiled and said slowly: "You are still a soul body now and are already dead. We didn't save you. Otherwise, where would you have died?"
Yang Ren was startled, but Hong Yun's words left him speechless. How could he speak like this? For a moment, Yang Ren stood awkwardly, unable to say anything more, and could only smile awkwardly.
And at this moment, Yang Ren caught a glimpse of the statue in the temple out of the corner of his eye. He felt a little familiar, and suddenly a bolt from the blue came to his mind. Isn't this the temple of the Supreme Goddess of Mercy? He is the creator god of the underworld.
Looking again at the woman among the two people in front of me, she is as beautiful as a fairy, exuding a noble and refined temperament. Isn't her face exactly the face on the statue?
Yang Ren was stunned! ! !
He didn't expect that the person who saved him would be such a great god. Suddenly he felt his soul shaking and seemed to be scattered. He even knelt down to Hou Tu.
