Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 270 Emperor Xin is useless
Hearing that the old general Lu Xiong was going to fight, Emperor Xin nodded without hesitation. But just as he was about to speak, he saw the Grand Tutor Wen Zhong come out and speak.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Futong of the North Sea has led seventy-two vassal states in rebellion. This is far more complex than it appears. I intend to personally quell the rebellion to prevent further complications."

Although Wen Zhong was only a third-generation disciple of the Taoist sect, the disciples of Qinglian Island in the court regarded him as their backbone.

Putting aside the fact that Wen Zhong was a direct disciple of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, his status as a minister entrusted with the care of the young emperor was enough to make them afraid to cross the line.

Besides, Wen Zhong not only has a very high status, but his cultivation is also the best among the crowd, having already reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian.

So as soon as Wen Zhong opened his mouth, no other disciples from Qinglian Island came forward to challenge for a fight.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Emperor Xin nodded and said, "Since the old Grand Tutor is going to lead the army in person, I wish him a speedy and victorious return."

Even Emperor Xin had spoken, and the civil and military officials in the court believed that Wen Zhong was the only one who could conquer Yuan Futong of Beihai.

But at this moment, a hearty laugh was heard outside the Nine-Room Hall. Then a Taoist priest walked in.

The Taoist bowed to Emperor Xin, then turned his gaze to Wen Zhong and said, "My nephew Wen Zhong, anyone can go to the North Sea, except you."

Wen Zhong naturally recognized the visitor and immediately stepped forward to greet him. "Wen Zhong greets Master Yu Ding. I wonder why Master Yu Ding said that Wen Zhong couldn't go?"

Yes, the person who came was none other than Jade Ding Zhenren. His purpose in coming here was to stop Wen Zhong from setting out on an expedition to the North Sea.

So he immediately said, "Because Yuan Futong's rebellion in Beihai was originally a trap. Its purpose is to contain you."

"And Yuan Futong is no ordinary person either. He is a disciple of the Beiming Sea Monster Cult. Even the seventy-two princes are all members of the monster clan."

"If you go, you will be trapped in Beihai City for fourteen years. By the time you return, it will probably be too late to save the situation."

Emperor Xin listened to Jade Ding Zhenren's words and felt a surge of anger in his heart. He immediately asked Jade Ding Zhenren.

"Master, what do you mean by 'I'm afraid it's too late to save the situation'? Do you think something will happen in the court when the old Grand Tutor is not there?"

As soon as Emperor Xin finished speaking, a junior official stood up. He had a sly smile on his face and spoke to Jade Ding Zhenren.

"Although the old Grand Tutor holds great prestige, he is not indispensable to the court. Could it be that without the old Grand Tutor, the king will be unable to govern the country?"

Jade Ding Zhenren turned to look at the doctor and said in an emotionless voice, "Who are you?"

The junior doctor proudly said, "I am Junior Doctor Fei Zhong. Although I am only a lowly official, I am willing to help the king."

Today, Fei Zhong is still a little-known person. After all, with Wen Zhong in the court, these scoundrels dare not act rashly.

At this moment, Jade Ding Zhenren sneered and said, "Since you are willing to share the king's worries, I wonder if you are willing to lead the troops to the North Sea?"

When Jade Ding Zhenren said this, Fei Zhong was instantly speechless. After a while, he finally spoke.

"I am just a civil official. How can I lead an army to war?"

As soon as Fei Zhong said this, all the civil and military officials in the court nodded in agreement. After all, it was a big taboo in the military for a civil official to lead troops.

But Jade Ding Zhenren said, "Although you are a civil official, you can serve as an inspector in the army. The king only needs to send another general to lead the troops, and won't it be foolproof?" Fei Zhong was finally afraid. After all, he didn't want to endure the hardships of the battlefield. Moreover, if he went there, he might not be able to return.

He immediately knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Xin, "Your Majesty, you must not listen to the nonsense of this evil Taoist."

"I believe this demon must have ulterior motives. Your Majesty should apprehend him and interrogate him. He will surely be able to uncover the mastermind behind this."

At this time, Emperor Xin's face also became extremely gloomy. Because Emperor Xin always believed that he was comparable to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

But he had always felt that he had no room to display his talents. After all, the court now had Wen Zhong, the Grand Tutor of Literature, and Huang Feihu, the King of Martial Arts.

There was also the Prime Minister Shang Rong for state affairs, and even the royal family, Weizi Qi and Weizi Yan.

It can be said that the entire court can operate automatically without Emperor Xin having to do anything, making him feel that he has no place to use his talents.

Therefore, he was eager for Wen Zhong to go on the expedition, and it would be best if he could take Huang Feihu and the others with him. Then he could show his skills and prove his ability to the world.

Therefore, at this moment, Emperor Xin had no favorable impression towards Jade Ding Zhenren. He even felt a bit of disgust in his heart.

So when he spoke at this moment, his voice was already filled with ice coldness, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"I don't need you to interfere in the affairs of the court. I naturally know what to do."

Jade Ding Zhenren's expression remained unchanged. He simply said calmly, "Your Majesty, do you know why I came here today?"

Emperor Xin couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Although he didn't say anything, a questioning look appeared in his eyes.

Jade Ding Zhenren did not hesitate and spoke directly: "I am Jade Ding Zhenren of the Qinglian Island Taoist sect. Today, I am here at the order of Uncle Fuxi to convey the Emperor's decree to the king."

As he spoke, a golden light flashed in front of Jade Ding Zhenren, and then lines of golden characters appeared in the air.

Even Emperor Xin, upon learning that Jade Ding Zhenren had come on the orders of Emperor Fuxi, had to stand up from his throne and salute the golden characters in the air.

As for the civil and military officials in the court, they naturally knelt down, waiting for Jade Ding Zhenren to read out the contents of the decree.

Jade Ding Zhenren didn't beat around the bush and immediately said, "The human race will encounter a great disaster, and chaos will soon be upon us."

"The contemporary human emperor, Xin, must turn the tide and protect our human race's ancestral temple. Let the human race successfully pass this final test."

"Now that Yuan Futong of Beihai has risen in rebellion, Emperor Xin of the Human Realm must personally lead the army to fight. He has also dispatched Jade Ding Zhenren and his disciples to assist Emperor Xin in pacifying Beihai."

As Jade Ding Zhenren finished reading the decree, the golden light in the air dissipated, and Emperor Xin returned to his throne.

At this moment, Emperor Xin looked at Jade Ding Zhenren with a much better liking than before. The reason was that Emperor Xin felt that he had finally found a place to use his talents.

As long as he could quell the Beihai rebellion as soon as possible, who would dare to say that he, Emperor Xin, was able to stay in power because of the assistance of important officials in the court?
So at this moment, Emperor Xin said with a smile on his face, "Since the Emperor has ordered it, I naturally cannot disobey. I will gather my troops, choose an auspicious day, and personally lead the expedition to the North Sea."
