Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

A few days later, Longde Hall

At dawn, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds like a thread and gently fell on the golden glazed tiles of Longde Hall, making the whole palace sparkle in the morning light.

As usual, the civil and military ministers, holding jade tablets and wearing court robes, walked into the hall in an orderly manner, and stood in their designated positions, waiting for the court meeting to begin.

And Luo Shu, also wearing a black robe today, quietly followed the team of civil and military ministers and walked into the Longde Hall.

Luo Shu looked around and saw that the palace was magnificent and golden, with carved beams and painted buildings, demonstrating the dignity and majesty of the royal family.

This was his first time to participate in a court meeting, and there was a hint of curiosity and anticipation on his face.

In my previous life, I had seen the scenes of attending court on TV and found them quite interesting. Now I am experiencing it myself.

At this time, a sharp-eyed minister first discovered the Luoshu. He rubbed his eyes in surprise, confirmed that he was not mistaken, and then shouted loudly:

"Oh, isn't this the Imperial Master? How come the Imperial Master has time to attend the court today?"

His voice echoed in the empty hall, causing a small commotion.

The ministers around turned their heads and looked at the talented and unfathomable imperial teacher.

Luo Shu looked like a jade crown, his skin was as white as jade with a faint luster, and his eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through everything in the world.

He was dignified and every step he took seemed calm and unhurried, as if every step was precisely in the beat of time, steady and powerful.

With the appearance of Luoshu, the entire Longde Hall seemed to become brighter.

The originally solemn atmosphere was now filled with an eye-catching brilliance.

Another minister also stepped forward and saluted Luo Shu:

"Greetings, Master Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor is attending court today. I guess he has something important to report, right? This is the first time I have met Master Imperial Preceptor at a court meeting!"

His voice was full of admiration for Luo Shu's wisdom and decision-making.

"Yes, the State Master has devoted himself to the country and the people, and is highly valued by the King. He has free time and does not need to attend court every day. It is our great honor to meet the State Master today."

Another minister spoke, his words full of respect and admiration for Luoshu.

Luo Shu smiled and nodded, returning the greeting to everyone:

"Dear colleagues, long time no see. I am here today for something."

The main purpose is to experience the atmosphere of attending court. Otherwise, who would have nothing better to do and come to attend court?

Upon hearing the news, Prime Minister Shang Rong, Uncle Wang Bigan and other important officials in the court also gathered around Luo Shu.

Shang Rong had a warm smile on his face, stroked his long beard, and said in a gentle and respectful voice:

"I heard from the king that the state prefect personally came to Beihai to help Grand Preceptor Wen suppress the rebellion. With just one word, he made the rebels lay down their weapons, and the seventy-two princes surrendered reluctantly."

"Such wisdom and eloquence are truly amazing. My admiration for you is like a surging river, endless."

Hearing this, Luo Shu showed a humble smile on his face and said softly:

"You are too kind, Prime Minister. The victory in the Battle of Beihai was entirely due to the wise command of Grand Tutor Wen and the bravery of the soldiers. I only contributed a little bit."

After hearing this, Shang Rong looked at Luo Shu with a new look, smiled and nodded, and continued:

"Master Imperial Master, you are too modest. Your wisdom and strategy have long been a legend in the court. It is because of the methods and strategies you provided that the people of the Shang Dynasty can have enough food and clothing and learn to read and write."

At this time, Uncle Wang Bigan also echoed:

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely right. The National Master is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is not moved by the secular world. Although he is a cultivator, he cares about the people of the world and works for the country and the people. I really admire him!"

Uncle Wang Bigan's words resonated with the ministers around him. They nodded and looked at Luo Shu with admiration.

Luo Shu smiled modestly and nodded slightly.

Amid everyone's words, the court meeting officially began.

King Zhou Di Xin walked up to the dragon throne with steady steps. He was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and his eyes were scanning the civil and military officials below.

When his gaze fell on Luo Shu, a hint of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.

All the civil and military officials bowed and saluted respectfully to King Zhou.

"Imperial Master, how come you have time to come to court today? I thought you had already left Chaoge City." King Zhou said happily.

Hearing this, Luo Shu said softly:

"Your Majesty, I will wait until my junior brother Wen Zhong returns to the court before making any plans."

After hearing this, King Zhou was delighted and said:

"Good, with the Imperial Master in Chaoge, I feel at ease!"

King Zhou nodded slightly, then turned to his civil and military ministers and continued to discuss the country's major affairs.

Just as everyone in the hall was discussing state affairs enthusiastically, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Everyone turned to look, and saw a palace servant holding a scroll, hurriedly walking into the hall.

Seeing this, King Zhou frowned slightly and signaled the palace maid to come forward.

The palace maid walked up to King Zhou, bowed respectfully, and then handed him the scroll.

King Zhou took the scroll, unfolded it gently, and swept his eyes over the scroll. The expression on his face gradually became solemn.

"Your Majesty, this is the news from Xiqi." The palace servant reported in a low voice.

King Zhou nodded and signaled the palace servants to leave. He looked carefully at the contents of the scroll, frowning, as if thinking about something.

After a while, he raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"In Xiqi, strange phenomena are happening frequently. Purple air is coming from the east, there are rays of light, and phoenixes are singing on Mount Qishan. How dare such strange phenomena appear, claiming that a holy master has been born!

"Humph, how outrageous! The Shang Dynasty, where my king's power is at its peak and the people are at peace, how can I allow others to speak nonsense here!"

His voice echoed in the hall, and every word struck everyone's heart like a hammer.

"Xiqi is the fief of Xibohou Jichang. Now rumors are spreading in Xiqi, but Jichang does not take any action to stop it and allows the rumors to spread. What is his intention?" King Zhou said angrily.

The ministers lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look King Zhou in the eye. They knew that King Zhou was really angry at this time, and no one could touch his reverse scale.

Hearing this, Luo Shu pondered secretly, thinking:

"Although I stopped King Zhou from writing a poem and avoided Nuwa's wrath, and thus sent the Golden Phoenix to Xiqi to create the phoenix cry phenomenon, I still couldn't escape the plan of Jie Yin and others."

Looking at the angry King Zhou in front of him, Luo Shu stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, calm down. Now, under your governance, the Shang Dynasty is peaceful, everything is new, and the people have no worries about food and clothing. All these can prove that your Majesty is a wise ruler who is worthy of heaven and earth."

Although Luo Shu's voice was not loud, it seemed to have a magical power that eased the tense atmosphere in the hall a little. He continued:

"In this peaceful and prosperous era, some people are creating strange phenomena and spreading lies to confuse the public. This is really puzzling."

"But your majesty is wise and powerful, and you will surely see through the truth and prevent these rumors from shaking the foundation of the Shang Dynasty."

When King Zhou heard Luo Shu's words, his anger subsided a little.

He turned his head and looked at Luo Shu. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said slowly:

"What the Imperial Master said is absolutely right. I will definitely find out the truth and stop these rumors from spreading. There must be many people among the eight hundred princes who have ulterior motives. These things may not have been done by them."

Then, King Zhou turned to the civil and military officials in the audience, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning each one, his voice more resolute:

"Since someone dares to spread rumors and disturb the people, don't blame me for investigating and punishing him severely! Come, inform the eight hundred princes immediately and order them to rush to Chaoge!"

He paused for a moment and continued:

"If anyone dares to refuse, I will send troops to attack him immediately. I want to let the world see that my Great Shang is indestructible, like an iron wall!"

As King Zhou's orders were issued, the messengers rushed to the fiefdoms of various princes to convey the orders issued by King Zhou.

Luo Shu looked at this scene, his mind was in turmoil. The phoenix was singing in Xiqi, the catastrophe had begun, and it was unknown what would happen next.

However, small trends can be changed, but big trends cannot be reversed. No matter how things turn around, the final fate of Jiejiao will never be as described in the book.
