I am a fairy

Chapter 242 Let’s Change the Emperor

In front of the Taimiao.

Lord Linghua arrived in front of the temple, and all civil and military officials came to greet him, including royal family members and princes.

Lord Linghua sat on the imperial carriage and did not get off. She just looked up at the sky above the ancestral temple. Unfortunately, she did not have the Nine Cauldrons and could not materialize the national destiny. She just saw some misty air vaguely emerging.

Only when they arrived at the steps of the Taimiao did Lord Linghua dismount from his imperial carriage.

But when she climbed the steps to the high platform, her eyes were still constantly looking at the height of the Taimiao.

The eunuchs on both sides bowed and greeted Lord Linghua.

"please!"

"Linghua-kun!"

Linghua Jun's practice of using the dynasty's fortune and merits in the Taimiao attracted attention from all sides.

In the meantime.

Ghosts and gods appeared, a divine bird landed on the top of the Taimiao, and the shadow of a divine man fell down.

The ritual was performed for two days in a row, and it was not until the third day that the Five Ghosts Moving Technique finally allowed the ghosts and gods to place the things borrowed from the dynasty's fortune in the Taimiao, or in other words, the move was finally completed.

The practice is completed.

Linghua Jun didn't say much and left directly in the imperial carriage.

Civil and military officials on both sides bowed their heads, and the emperor also greeted them. He looked up at Lord Linghua in the imperial carriage curtain, and Lord Linghua also bowed slightly through the curtain.

"Is it done?"

"Looking at Linghua Jun's expression, he didn't say a word, so it must have worked."

At this point, everyone knows Linghua Jun very well, and they will guess Linghua Jun's thoughts as they would guess the emperor's will.

Everyone knows that if there is something wrong, Linghua Jun will definitely tell you. If Linghua Jun doesn’t tell you, then there is usually nothing wrong.

Of course, there is another situation.

That's a big deal. There's no point in talking about it, so there's no need to talk about it.

"Is it true that you can turn stone into gold and weave clouds into brocade?"

"Didn't you see the vision in the past two days? It must be real."

"Let's go, the emperor has gone up, let's go and take a look."

As Lord Linghua left, the emperor and the princes of the royal family entered and saw that their eyes were as big as copper bells and even their breathing became rapid.

Afterwards, all the officials followed and saw the scene in the Taimiao.

All the officials and princes were silent. The huge temple was filled with people, but it was as quiet as a deep valley.

Everyone looked at the scene deep in the Taimiao, blinking their eyes as if they were afraid that what they saw was an illusion, or perhaps they felt that they could not recognize this world anymore.

Maybe.

At this moment, when the money, silver and silk appeared in front of them, they finally understood what the magic powers performed by Linghua Jun brought and what they could change.

Although Linghua Jun had arrived in Huajing City last year, everyone believed that Linghua Jun was a celestial being who had descended to the mortal world, a half-immortal.

Even if the other party can bring down the moonlight from the nine days and summon gods and ghosts.

But for most people.

Their daily lives are still very far away from the gods and also very far away from Linghua Jun.

Even though the wind and hailstorms had befallen the world not long ago, Lord Yunzhong issued a decree that there would be a good harvest this year and people would have enough food and clothing. The Shangyang bird was born to drive away the wind and rain, and the Qinggeng bird counted the fields all over the world, shocking the world.

But after all, it is still not direct enough, and the changes brought about by the advent of the "gods" have not yet been fully reflected.

therefore,

I have not yet fully understood what it means for gods, ghosts, immortals and saints to come down to earth, and what their magical powers can do.

At this moment, they finally saw it.

It's so direct.

Without any illusion, vagueness or ethereality.

The gods can turn stones into gold so that money can circulate in the world, they can weave clouds into brocade so that people can have plenty of clothes, and they can let the green birds count the fields all over the world so that the crops can grow well.

When gods, ghosts, immortals and saints walked into the world.

The world was completely covered with a layer of mythology.

After a while, the noise in front of the Taimiao became noisy, and more and more people gathered to move things out of the Taimiao.

This solemn and sacred Taimiao suddenly became bustling with traffic.

Civil and military officials all leaned over to look, especially those of lower ranks who were thinking.

"It's time to pay this year's outstanding salary!"
-
On the day.

The emperor summoned officials and asked them to move the silver, money and silk from the Taimiao into the warehouse.

With silver, money and silk, the emperor became stronger and looked energetic.

Wen Changxing glanced at the somewhat "old" palace, then waved his hand and spoke to the eunuch beside him.

"This year, we still need to repair the palaces that need repairing."

"I took a look at the palace maids and found that they were all wearing old clothes from last year. It's really annoying..."

The emperor could not produce silver, money or silk, but he could think of countless ways to spend it in an instant.

Once he opened his mouth, he started chattering on and on, as if there was no end to it, and he became more and more excited and pleased as he spoke.

In the palace.

The chief official of the Ministry of Revenue among all the officials looked at Emperor Wen Changxing eagerly, and when he heard this, he could not help it and immediately stood up and asked.

"His Majesty!"

"Have you forgotten that the funds requested by various localities this year have not yet been allocated, and the salaries of the civil and military officials of the court have not yet been paid."

"We fought a war last year, and the pensions and rewards for the various armies are still owed."

"If you don't send it out, there will be a big mess..."

The emperor talked incessantly, and the Minister of Revenue, who was in charge of money and grain, also talked incessantly, and the faster he spoke, the more anxious he became.

He had no choice. It was not an easy position for him to hold, especially in the past two years, when there had been natural disasters, man-made calamities and wars.

By the time.

All parties came to him and he had no way to deal with it.

The emperor became a little impatient after hearing this. How could he have forgotten?

This Minister of Revenue would bring up this matter in front of him from time to time, constantly talking about the deficit in the national treasury and problems here and there, which was really annoying.

However, he also knew that he had to respond to this matter.

Then the emperor spoke to the eunuch beside him.

"Just take care of the rest and transfer them to the left storage."

The eunuch understood the emperor's meaning and nodded.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely keep an eye on it."

When he said he had watched for a while, the eunuch glanced at the Minister of Revenue, then lowered his head to look at the stone bricks on the ground and stopped talking.

However, the emperor did not know it at this moment.

On the Yellow Springs main engine beneath the Nine Lands, the Wu Dynasty's luck and merit values ​​had been declining continuously before, and were already on the verge of a critical point.

However, this is not a big problem. The "Bronze Mountain and Silk Sea" he borrowed from the gods and ghosts of the underworld was originally intended to solve the crisis and problems of the court. As long as it is used properly, it can not only solve the current crisis, but also bring the fortune of the Wu Dynasty to a higher level.

However, as he spoke each word, the situation became different.

In the Yunzhong Palace Temple not far away, Linghua Jun, who had just returned, seemed to sense something. He suddenly stopped and looked back in the direction of the Imperial City's Taimiao.

The eyes of the divine figure pierced through the sky and saw that there seemed to be rolling black clouds rising above the Taimiao in the distance, instantly covering the entire sky.

Not only that, it seemed as if a bolt of lightning fell from the black cloud and struck the Taimiao.

"Boom!"

Linghua Jun blinked his eyes, and the scene just now disappeared.

But she knew that what she had just seen was not an illusion, but a foreshadowing of something.

In an instant, Linghua Jun thought of something and immediately looked towards the imperial palace.

The witch next to her noticed something and asked.

"Goddess, what did you see?"

Linghua Jun: “Nothing.”

But soon, the Minister of Revenue secretly asked for a meeting, and Linghua Jun learned what Emperor Wen Changxing had done.

Although Linghua Jun had some expectations, he was still extremely disappointed.

Originally, she shouldn't care about these things.

At least for her position, she is in charge of yin and yang matters. After all, the emperor is still the emperor. If she can maintain the peace of the world, that would be the best. But at this moment, what the emperor Wen Changxing did suddenly gave Linghua Jun an idea.

This idea may have existed before, but it was at least not clear.

"Perhaps, Wen Changxing is really not suitable to be an emperor."

Although she had an idea, she couldn't make up her mind right away.

Linghua Jun thought about it again and again, and walked back and forth in the Yunzhong Palace Temple, seeming to be hesitating and wandering.

Finally, she asked the witch beside her.

"Tell me, what exactly is the emperor's plan?"

The witch had just seen the Minister of Finance arrive and knew what had happened.

"Perhaps, the emperor is planning to use the money, silver and silk that Lord Linghua can conjure up. It doesn't matter if they use it up, as they can always conjure more."

Linghua Jun also knew it, but after hearing what the witch said, he couldn't help but speak out.

"Can it be transformed again?"

“Although there are no Nine Cauldrons, I don’t know what the luck and merit are like, and how much is left.”

"But if the luck and merit consumed this time cannot be made up, how can there be a next time?"

"Moreover, this spell is a method for emergency situations. How can we regard this method for emergency situations as the lifeblood of a country?"

Even though he was a little angry, Linghua Jun still looked calm and spoke very naturally.

Perhaps she was not such a person originally, but after imitating Yun Zhongjun day after day, she unknowingly became like this.

The witch heard Linghua Jun's dissatisfaction and took the opportunity to express her own opinions.

"The fortune of the dynasty is the fortune of all the people in the world, not just that of Emperor Wen Changxing alone."

"If we allow them to squander their wealth, I'm afraid the people will suffer in the end."

Linghua Jun thought about it and finally made up his mind.

She had to do something before Emperor Wen Changxing squandered the copper mountains and silk seas that he had borrowed from the gods and ghosts with the fortune of the dynasty.

At the very least, we should ensure that the dynasty's fortune and merits are used for the right things to restore the fortunes of the nine provinces of the world.
-
On the first day of the new year, Lord Linghua traveled to the upper realm.

She reported to Yun Zhongjun the latest situation in the human world, especially the actions of Emperor Wen Changxing.

And this complaint she made in front of the gods also pushed Wen Changxing and the entire world onto another path.

Dainichi Shrine.

Under the cliff corridor.

Yun Zhongjun sat in front of a chessboard, twisting a white chess piece in his hand.

There is a cliff on one side. Looking down from the cliff, you can see layers of eaves, but you can also see layers of vines and even growing tree crowns.

Waves of "mist" flowed out from the vines and the demon tree. The mist lingered around the Great Sun Palace, but there was no damp feeling like water vapor. Instead, everything here looked like a fairyland.

After hearing Linghua Jun say everything he wanted to say in one breath, he became a little nervous and knelt in the middle of the corridor waiting for Yunzhong Jun's response.

Yun Zhongjun raised his head and saw Ling Huajun's distressed expression.

He also knew what the other party was worried about, but for some reason, today he suddenly felt that what Linghua Jun was worried about might not be that important, or it was not worth hesitating about.

He lowered his head, placed the white piece in a corner of the board, and then picked up another piece.

"So, you think Wen Changxing is not fit to be an emperor."

Linghua Jun hesitated for a while, but soon made up his mind.

"Yes!"

"God, Lingzi believes that Wen Changxing is not fit to be the emperor."

Seeing that Yunzhongjun did not make any statement or action, Linghuajun continued speaking.

"Although the Emperor Wen Changxing is incompetent and immoral, he has been able to maintain peace in the world, or at least prevent chaos."

"But this alone is not enough. If he is around, the Nine Provinces will never be unified, and the Mountain and River State Map will never be completed."

Linghua Jun raised his head and said to Yunzhong Jun.

"More importantly, Lingzi cannot sit idly by and watch him squander the merits and fortune of the people of the world. This dynasty does not belong to him or his family alone, but to everyone in the world."

"At least not since you asked me to go to the capital."

All in all, Emperor Wen Changxing may no longer have the ability to make the situation collapse and deteriorate, but he also does not have any ability to make the world a better place, let alone unify the world.

Perhaps he had some value before, but as time went by, the value of Emperor Wen Changxing gradually became lower and lower.

Until now, it has become a negative number.

Yun Zhongjun didn't say anything, nor did he say whether he agreed or disagreed, he just asked her.

"Who do you think is suitable?"

"Do you think that changing the emperor will solve the current situation, and won't make the situation worse or even cause the world to fall apart?"

"Who do you think can achieve what you said about unifying the nine provinces and bringing the country back to unity?"

It’s still the same problem. It’s easy to replace an emperor.

But the situation didn't get better after changing it, but got worse. What's the point of all that?

But this time, Linghua Jun was no longer hesitant and didn't know how to deal with it like last time. She had already thought of the answer before she came, and she seemed very decisive and resolute.

"My Lord, I think Lucheng County Prince Wen Ji is worthy of this position."

"Besides, this person is from the royal family of Wen, and can cause minimal unrest in the world."

Yun Zhongjun twisted the chess piece, but continued talking after a while.

"What about Wen Changxing?"

Linghua Jun knew that her answer this time would be more acceptable to Yunzhong Jun than the last time. At least until now, Yunzhong Jun had not rejected it.

Speaking of this, Linghua Jun suddenly remembered a sentence Wen Changxing once said.

"Didn't he say that this emperor is not doing anything interesting and is worse than a prince?"

She bowed and said to Yun Zhongjun.

"Then, let's fulfill his wish!"

One cannot speak carelessly, and this seems to have been proven once again. Emperor Wen Changxing also had to pay the price for what he said.

This time, Yun Zhongjun didn't even pause and spoke directly.

"Then so be it!"

On this misty corridor of the sky, Yun Zhongjun decided the fate and life and death of an emperor and a dynasty with just a few words.

Until Yun Zhongjun said "So be it", even Ling Huajun, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a little at a loss. He raised his head and looked at Yun Zhongjun blankly.

Because the process seemed different from what she expected, everything was too simple.

In just a few words and a cup of tea from beginning to end, the fate and life of Emperor Wen Changxing was determined.

Simply, just like eating and drinking water.

Linghuajun knelt on the ground and looked at Yunzhongjun without saying anything for a long time, and Yunzhongjun seemed to know what he was thinking.

“Think it’s too simple?”

“This world, this human world, will continue to move forward no matter who is gone.”

"No matter who becomes the emperor, no matter how humble or noble, the stars will change and the Tai Sui will appear in the sky every year."

"Where this great age of heaven and earth will eventually go and what it will become, these things cannot be determined."

Linghua Jun asked: "What determines these?"

Yun Zhongjun put down a chess piece, and then picked up a few more chess pieces.

Yunzhong Jun did not answer, but Linghua Jun understood.

"Your Majesty, you can."

She looked at the immortal saint sitting behind the chessboard. In her sight, the immortal saint's shadow seemed to become more majestic and taller, and the chessboard in front of him seemed no longer an ordinary chessboard, but the mountains and rivers of Kyushu.

The black and white pieces on the chessboard represent all living beings.

Then, Linghua Jun asked with some uneasiness and fear.

"Then, has the Lord God made a decision?"

Yun Zhongjun shook his head and said.

"It's not that time yet."

After the previous conversation with the Moon Goddess, Yun Zhongjun seemed to have become more open-minded, or to have figured out some things.

Maybe his idea is really wrong. Many things become different after a long period of time, and they become even more different from the perspective of civilization.

of course.

It could also be because he had unknowingly become more like a high and mighty god.
