The Journey to the West is over, and the Perfect Life System is here

Chapter 262: Your Majesty, Think Twice
"Your Majesty, I recommend someone..."

"Your Majesty, I recommend..."

For a moment, the court was in chaos and everyone wanted to hit someone.

"Be quiet!" Shang Rong shouted.

Although he is old, he is full of energy, and after he shouts, no one dares to speak or argue.

"Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend, that is Senior Doctor Mei Bo. He is both virtuous and virtuous. He has been an official for thirty years, and his style of work is impeccable." Shang Rong said.

The ministers had no major objections to this candidate.

After all, this candidate was proposed by Shang Rong, and Mei Bo is indeed qualified.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Your Majesty, I have someone to recommend. This person is an overseas alchemist, a learned scholar. If he can enter my court, it will definitely be a blessing for my Great Shang."

You Hun looked at Fei Zhong as if he were a fool, and secretly took a few steps back to distance himself from Fei Zhong.

He really wanted to ask Fei Zhong if he was crazy.

He only had an upset stomach, but You Hun suspected that Fei Zhong had eaten something wrong and damaged his brain.

How dare you argue with the Prime Minister on such a national issue? Don’t you think your death is not fast enough?

But Fei Zhong was also feeling miserable!
At this time, he had dark circles under his eyes, he had not slept well the whole night, and he looked sad as if his parents had died.

Other people in the court also looked at Fei Zhong in surprise.

Each of them knew Fei Zhong and knew that he was the king's favorite, but they did not expect Fei Zhong to be so bold as to go against Prime Minister Shang Rong.

Even You Hun had distanced himself from Fei Zhong.

This idiot shouldn't get himself involved.

"How dare you!" Shang Rong shouted, "How can you so easily give away the position of Prime Minister? I think this overseas expert is just a fraud. Fei Zhong, what are you thinking?"

Fei Zhong was so frightened that he was trembling and could not speak for a moment, nor did he dare to look at the king for help.

"Ahem... Prime Minister Shang, that's wrong." Emperor Xin waved his sleeves. "Since Fei Zhong risked his life to recommend someone from overseas, it means that this person is quite capable. Fei Zhong, please tell me about the specific details of this person."

Although Shang Rong looked unhappy, he didn't want to disobey Emperor Xin.

Fei Zhong gritted his teeth and decided to go all the way.

“Your Majesty, there are actually four overseas masters. One of them is a master of medicine, able to bring back the dead and bring the dead back to life. He can be appointed as the head of the Imperial Physician’s Palace.

There are two more who are proficient in extraordinary skills and have extraordinary supernatural powers. I suggest that the king establish a new Qiqiao Academy, place them there, and appoint them as deans.

The last one is a talent of the state, and he deserves to be treated as the Prime Minister!"

"Absurd, how absurd! Fei Zhong, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will drag you out and execute you!" Shang Rong was instantly furious.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to die for your advice. These four people are really capable. If our Shang Dynasty can obtain them, it will be a blessing for us." Fei Zhong said loudly again.

Even You Hun was shocked.

This guy took the wrong medicine, and he still dared to give advice?

As jesters around Emperor Xin, their job was to please the king.

Then he would take some bribes and live a very comfortable life.

You Hun was certain that Fei Zhong was crazy and that he should stay away from him.

"Fei Zhong, you..." Shang Rong was shaking with anger.

"Hey! Prime Minister, don't get too excited. I think what Fei Zhong said makes sense." Emperor Xin said, "How about this! I will personally lead those four people into the palace to demonstrate my sincerity."

"Your Majesty!" Shang Rong looked at Emperor Xin with an expression of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible!!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The ministers also started to make a fuss, after all, this was not a trivial matter.

Even Bigan, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"It's settled. Bring those four experts into the palace tomorrow," Emperor Xin said loudly, his attitude firm. "Don't overthink it. These four were recommended by Fei Zhong. If they have no talent and are just seeking fame, then you should execute Fei Zhong!"

Fei Zhong: "..."

Seeing that Emperor Xin was so persistent, the ministers didn't know what to say.

The most important thing is that they feel that the government is now under their control, so what if four more people come in?

Although those four people seem to be in high positions, they have no real power!

Just think of it as a way to entertain the king!

"Today, Fei Zhong is rewarded with 100 taels of gold for his recommendation. If those four people make contributions in the future, Fei Zhong will also be counted as a contributor." Emperor Xin said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fei Zhong finally showed a little smile. What was he fighting for? Wasn't it just for a little benefit?
On the other hand, You Hun was shocked when he heard that Fei Zhong had received such a generous reward.

Only then did he realize that the king had prepared the position of right prime minister in advance and agreed to it so readily. He had colluded with Fei Zhong a long time ago!

Coincidentally, the two brothers looked at each other, and there was a glint of envy in their eyes when they looked at each other.

Fei Zhong envied You Hun for not having to bear such a big risk, and You Hun envied Fei Zhong for being able to gain more attention from the king.

The next day, when people heard that the King of Shang was going to bring four masters into the palace, the whole Chaoge became lively. They all wanted to see the true faces of the four masters.

When Emperor Xin arrived at Huichun Hall, all the people gathered around him.

"I will personally invite the four masters into the palace!" Emperor Xin stepped into Huichun Hall with an excited look on his face.

The guards wanted to go in, but were shouted back.

At this time, Sun Wukong, Yang Tianyou and the four children were standing in the hall.

"You've come here in person, which shows your sincerity," Sun Wukong said. "Now, you still have a chance to regret. If the four of them enter the palace, you will fight against the immortals and gods, and even against the heavens."

"Grandpa Sun, I'm unwilling to be controlled by that immortal god, nor do I want the Shang Dynasty to be destroyed in my hands." Emperor Xin bowed respectfully. "I still want to fight. Please grant me your blessing, Grandpa Sun!"

"Xiaohong, Xian'er, Ximei, Dalang, the same goes for you. If you don't want to participate in the great struggle, I won't force you." Sun Wukong looked at Su Hong and the others.

"Grandpa, my three sisters and I were raised by you. Your wish is ours. If I can help you, I will never regret it even if I die." Su Hong said in a deep voice.

Hu Ximei and Yu Xianer nodded in unison.

Yang Jiao bowed to Sun Wukong and said, "If it weren't for Grandpa Sun, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I don't regret it."

"In that case, then you can go!" Sun Wukong waved his hand.

Su Hong and the others said goodbye to Sun Wukong and followed Emperor Xin.

Looking at the backs of Su Hong and the others as they left, Sun Wukong said to Yang Tianyou beside him, "If you don't want Yang Jiao to take risks, you can call him back. If he goes there, his life or death is unpredictable!"

"Mr. Sun, Dalang is right. You saved our lives. Why not do something for you?" Yang Tianyou smiled and said, "If Dalang can contribute to the well-being of the human race, I will be proud of him!"

At this time, Emperor Xin also brought out Su Hong and the other four.

When they came out, everyone was in an uproar.

They thought that the so-called masters were those white-bearded old men with immortal looks, but it turned out that they were four young men, and most importantly, there were three women among them.

"The masters that the king invited are these four? That's impossible!"

"I heard that the king wants to give these four people high positions. This is just a joke!"

"That's right! I thought the current King of Shang was a wise ruler, but after Master Wen left, his foolish nature was exposed."

"Look at those three women, they are beautiful and graceful. I suspect the king is selecting beauties for himself under the pretext of recruiting talented people!" "Selecting beauties? That shouldn't be the case! Isn't the purpose of a beauty pageant to recruit concubines?"

"You don't understand. Our king wants to have something exciting. The monarch and his subjects... ahem..."

Although the topic is a bit far off.

But when the people looked at Su Hong and others behind Emperor Xin, they were all disappointed.

This matter had nothing to do with them personally, but now all the actions taken against Emperor Xin were derogatory.

Emperor Xin's reputation suddenly plummeted to the bottom.

Su Hong has been practicing with Sun Wukong for so many years, and his Taoism is quite advanced, so he can naturally hear what these people are saying.

She asked, "The people don't know the truth and think you're incompetent. Won't you explain it?"

Emperor Xin said, "What explanation is needed? Words are always pale. Only results can shut those people up!"

In this way, Su Hong, the three demons and Emperor Xin entered the palace.

However, when the positions were being granted, the ministers headed by Shang Rong caused another commotion.

They originally thought that Emperor Xin had found four charlatans and they just had to wait for the time to expose them and drive them out.

As a result, three delicate beauties and a handsome young man came.

What is this for?

Shang Rong used the excuse that there were no women in high positions in the Shang Dynasty and tried desperately to stop Emperor Xin.

As a result, Emperor Xin used the example of Fu Hao to shut Shang Rong and others up.

Shang Rong was dejected when he left.

"The king has grown up, and this old minister can no longer control him. I hope that Master Wen will return soon and restrain the king."

From the moment Su Hong and the others entered the palace, Emperor Xin and the four of them entered the imperial study.

This time I stayed in there for a full ten days.

For ten days, Emperor Xin did not attend the morning court or go to the harem, which made the ministers very anxious.

In particular, rumors began to spread among the people, and they became more and more outrageous.

"My aunt's uncle's second son's childhood friend's brother is a guard in the palace. According to confirmed information, the king has not attended the morning court for ten days.

He has been in the imperial study for the past ten days, and the only people who accompany him are those four overseas experts.

And I also heard that during these ten days, all kinds of strange noises were often heard from the imperial study."

"Oh my God! This is too outrageous! Isn't there a man among those four swindlers? Is the king so unrestrained in his diet?"

"Your Majesty is foolish! Your Majesty is foolish! I don't know how we, the people, will cope with the future."

"..."

Anyway, all kinds of rumors were flying around, and the ministers in the court were so anxious that their hair turned white.

Ministers represented by Shang Rong even knelt down and begged Emperor Xin to come to court, but Emperor Xin was too lazy to pay any attention.

At this moment, in the imperial study, Emperor Xin's face was beaming with joy, and he praised repeatedly, "Excellent! Excellent! Once these regulations are issued, no one will be able to harm our Shang Dynasty, and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment."

During these ten days, Emperor Xin certainly did not do anything pornographic, but was discussing the development direction of the Shang Dynasty with Su Hong and others.

Moreover, a rectification document has been completed.

"My lord, although the rectification regulations have been completed, there will definitely be a huge backlash afterwards." Su Hong said.

"It doesn't matter. If anyone obstructs me, I will kill him!" Emperor Xin stood up with murderous intent in his eyes.

He did not dare to start a massacre or suppress the rebellion by force before. The first reason was because Wen Taishi was there, and the second was that he himself had not made his ideas about reform very clear, so he did not know where to start.

Now that Master Wen is not around, and with the help of Su Hong and the others, he no longer has any obstacles.

He will kill anyone who dares to stand in his way!
Su Hong said: "Our Great Shang is a feudal system, with four great feudal lords commanding eight hundred smaller feudal lords. These feudal lords are independent and have too much autonomy.

I suggest that Your Majesty first summon these princes to Chaoge to ask for their opinions. After all, if they are unwilling, our reforms will likely face strong resistance."

"Okay!" Emperor Xin nodded and immediately issued an order for the princes to come to Chaoge for an audience.

At the same time, on the eleventh day after Su Hong and his companions entered Chaoge, Emperor Xin finally attended court.

This made the ministers feel relieved.

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi frowned as he looked at Taiyi Zhenren in front of him.

"Taiyi, haven't you finished with Nezha? Let him wash away his mortal body and worldly thoughts as soon as possible, and return to our Chan Sect."

Taiyi Zhenren had a worried look on his face: "Master, I went down to look for Nezha before, but he said that he just wanted to study now. I couldn't find the opportunity to do it, so there was nothing I could do!"

"Study? What does that mean?" Yuanshi was stunned.

"It's just learning various classics and doing math," Taiyi said. "And ever since what happened last time, Li Jing has been chasing me away every time he sees me. I'm afraid this mission won't be easy to complete."

"Since he doesn't want to, I have a green lotus seed here. You can find a chance to send Nezha to face the calamity, take his soul and put it into the green lotus seed, and he will return to his place." Yuanshi flicked his hand, and a lotus seed emitting fluorescent light fell into his hand.

"Yes, Master!" Taiyi responded quickly.

At this time, outside the Luojia Cave of Putuo Mountain, Taoist Cihang's cave, a beam of light fell.

Cihang in the cave seemed to sense something and came out to greet them.

"Greetings to Master Ran Deng. I wonder what can I do for you, Master Ran Deng?"

The person who came was none other than the deputy leader of the Chan sect, the Taoist Master Ran Deng.

"Cihang, I came here today to talk to you about something. Let's talk in detail." Ran Deng said.

"Uncle Master, please come in!" Cihang said.

After the two entered the cave, Randeng offered a Buddhist bead, which surprised Cihang.

"Master Ran Deng, what is this doing?"

"The content of my conversation with you today concerns our future. I know it and you know it. It cannot be known to any third person, not even Senior Brother Yuanshi." Ran Deng smiled.

"Then please speak, Uncle Randeng!" said Taoist Cihang.

"I came here to find you a great thing. A few days ago, the Western Guiding Saint came to me and wanted to invite me to join the Western Buddhist sect and was willing to give me a high position." Ran Deng said slowly and directly.

Taoist Cihang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then Master Ran Deng certainly didn't agree, right? You are the Vice-President of the Chan Sect, so there is no need for you to go to the Western Buddhist sect."

Ran Deng shook his head: "No, I have already agreed."

Cihang was suddenly shocked, his eyes flickering: "Uncle Randeng, please leave quickly! I won't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Cihang." Ran Deng sneered, "Everyone knows that there are twelve golden immortals in the Chan Sect, but we all know that among the twelve golden immortals, only Guangchengzi and a few others have won the favor of Yuanshi.

Even I, the deputy leader, am just a steward under Yuanshi.

Be it benefits or magic weapons, do you think we have a share?
You have good talent, so why haven't you become a Quasi-Sage yet? Isn't it because you have too few resources?"

Cihang was silent for a while.

"The saints in the West promised that as long as I enter Buddhism, they will help me become a saint. If you go, you will definitely achieve Buddhahood." Seeing that Cihang was still silent, Ran Deng smiled again.

"Don't you think Yuanshi doesn't know that you're good at makeup?"
