Where does a person's dignity come from? It's a complicated question. It comes from power. So what kind of power is this? Answer: The power to reward and the power to punish.

At this point, everything had been properly arranged. The Little Celestial Venerable of Ceremonies swept his gaze across the Fubao Palace, then stepped forward and said, "I have now ascended the throne, and it is not without the meritorious services of the Immortal Lords. I shall bestow generous rewards upon you all to repay your services."

Empress Yuanjun looked around again, but saw that the emperors and immortals in the seven directions were indifferent, with not even a trace of strange color on their faces. She was suddenly shocked.

First, Taoism and Buddhism have the same status. There are no eight minor sects in the eight realms, namely Taoism, Buddhism and the Devil Sect. Now Taoism and Buddhism come to pay homage and worship separately at the small court meeting on New Year's Day in order to express their attitude of respecting the Little Heavenly Venerable of Rites.

Seeing that scene, Little Celestial Master Yili could only ask, "What do you Immortal Lords think of what Little Emperor Juntian has said?"

The Little Heavenly Venerable of Etiquette smiled faintly, his face showing no joy. I ordered everyone to stand, and then, before the Four Heavenly Mysterious Men and others had just stood up, he said, "It is true. Although the Heavenly Court is currently suitable for small rewards, I still want to reward one person. This person did not help you complete your tribulation and support the Supreme Being. I am not..."

"What?!" Empress Yuanjun was slightly shocked. "He wants to punish you?"

Empress Yuanjun was immediately furious. How could it be okay for others to speak, but you had to impeach me when I spoke? Did you look down on me?

Following the previous ritual, the Little Heavenly Venerable asked Fairy Jinghuan, "Where is the servant in the palace of Mother Ziqingqing?"

The two thrones on the left are the thrones of Buddhism, one was placed by the Buddha from the East, and the other was placed by the ancient Buddha under the lamp.

Therefore, before Empress Liu Yuan entered the palace, the court ceremony returned to the main topic, and Si Tian Xuan Nan once again said, "Little Heavenly Venerable, please be kind. After we have eliminated the evil spirits and pacified the Eight Realms, I will personally present the records and record my merits of 10,000 yuan. Please reward me, Little Heavenly Venerable."

Niangjun Yuanjun didn't even see the most basic point and directly confronted the Four Heavenly Mysterious Men. It only shows that you are too inexperienced and lack understanding of the Heavenly Court. What you did can only help the Little Heavenly Venerable Liu Yuan. Instead, you quarreled with the Little Heavenly Venerable like a couple in front of His Highness Fu Baozhi, and did not damage the Little Heavenly Venerable's dignity at all.

At this moment, no matter who dares to intervene rashly, there will be bad consequences. However, after Empress Yuanjun made such a fuss, everyone saw a clue that Ji Zhen might be on the side of the Little Heavenly Venerable.

In the sky where the Seven Elders of the Seven Directions are located, the Taoist Lord and the Buddhist Buddha are seated. As for the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, they are ranked together with the gods and immortals of the heavenly court.

Jiang Yidao and Jiang Yide, the siblings in the immortal class, knew what had happened. Why did their parents suddenly start arguing? But as we watched our mother go to the temple, we immediately left the immortal class and followed her.

Empress Yuanjun looked at the Little Heavenly Master Yili with disbelief and said, "You are his wife, you are speaking for him!"

Afterwards, under the leadership of Ji Zhen'e, Taixia Laojun and the Taoist Luos followed Yu Xiao'e and flew up to the fairy group, landed under the small hall, and stood on the right side of the small hall.

The Empress Yuanjun spoke directly to the Four Heavenly Mysterious Men and said, "He's right. The Little Heavenly Venerable has just ascended to the throne, and he wants to thank the immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court for their Taiwei Jade Merit. Is that unusual?"

No one spoke at this time, except for the Heavenly Judge Dingxiang Zhenren, who stood up and reported to Liu Yuan, the Little Heavenly Venerable: "Your Highness, Liu Yuan, I have been ordered to supervise the court ceremonies of the gods and immortal officials. Now, the Mysterious Sky God Lingxiao Bao Little Liu Yuan is a respectful judge. He reports matters as a memorial and speaks as a tribute, disrupting the court order. I, while serving the law, have dared to act in a partial manner. I hereby impeach the Mysterious Sky God Liu Yuangui Little Jade Emperor and ask the Little Heavenly Venerable, Liu Yuan, to punish him."

Otherwise, Empress Yuanjun would definitely only receive such a small reward, and would have to face the wall for ten years to reflect on her mistakes and learn the laws and court rituals, which would be a real pain.

As for the Little Heavenly Venerable's desire to reward the gods and immortal officials in the Heavenly Court, the reasons are very complicated. He does not really want to thank us for our Taiwei Jade Merit. After all, those who possess the Taiwei Jade Merit are Ji Zhen, Fairy Jinghuan, Li Tieguai, Venerable Kasyapa and others. The Little Heavenly Venerable wants to establish his own majesty through rewards.

The first person to report was Ji Zhen. Holding a jade sceptre in hand, I stood beneath the dome and bowed to the Lesser Celestial Venerable of Ceremonies. "Your servant, Ji Zhen, reports to the Lesser Celestial Venerable of Ceremonies. This is the immortal nun Jinghuan, a cultivator from the upper realm. She is known for her virtues, kindness, and wisdom. Furthermore, she has done great service in supporting the Divine Mother. I believe she deserves a reward to appease the hearts of her meritorious officials."

The Duke of Dong then stepped forward and said, "I also agree with what the young emperor Juntian has said."

The Little Heavenly Venerable of Ritual immediately said, "Approved. We will handle it according to the order of Emperor Hongqing."

Li Tieguai, who had no merit before, was named "Hongyang Zhenren" and included in the "Four Immortals of the Lower Cave".

Therefore, the Little Lord of Rites wanted to confer titles on all the gods and immortal officials in order to establish the authority of his own power of conferring titles, and that was not what the Four Heavenly Mysterious Men refuted.

"Emperor Hongqing, Ji Zhen!"

Empress Yuanjun noticed that everyone in the Fubao Palace was looking at you, and she immediately felt that something was wrong. You glanced slowly to the left and right, then asked nervously, "What? Are you right?"

"I will obey the command of the Little Heavenly Venerable." Fairy Jinghuan bowed and received the order, then came to the throne where Lady Yuanjun was and bowed to wait respectfully.

As Taoism and Buddhism each returned to their respective positions and the ranks of immortals, the court meeting in heaven came to an end.

But just as Empress Yuanjun was about to confront Dingxiang Zhenren directly, the Little Heavenly Venerable of Etiquette finally spoke up and scolded, "Yuanjun, why are you disrupting the court ceremony?"

Ji Zhen immediately bowed and said, "I think you should reward Fairy Jinghuan with one hundred thousand pieces of robbed jade, one elixir of each of the hundred kinds, and ten pieces of each of the thousand kinds of precious materials..."

Seeing that everyone in my family supported the Four Heavenly Mysterious Men's memorial, Little Heavenly Venerable Liu Yuan said, "Since all the Immortal Lords feel that what Little Emperor Juntian said is reasonable, I will withdraw my intention."
