Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
Therefore, the Confucianism was introduced at this time in order to "balance the three religions." However, this is not accurate, because the Confucianism in Heaven is still headed by Confucius. It is not the Confucianism of later generations, but the most original Confucian style.
But no matter what, this matter has nothing to do with him for the time being. What he has to do now is how to properly place the more than 8 million heavenly soldiers. This is his primary responsibility as the chief envoy of Tianshu Province.
The Shenxiao Jade Palace is still the former Taixuan Province Immortal Palace, but now the Taixuan Province is just an institution under the Shenxiao Jade Palace, and the original Taixuan Palace has also been changed to the 'Shenxiao Palace'.
The entire Shenxiao Jade Palace is now divided into three major areas, also known as three palace complexes: the Shenxiao Palace in the center, with the Shenxiao Hall as its main hall; the Taixuan Palace on the left, with the Taixuan Hall as its main hall; and the Tianshu Palace on the right, with the Tianshu Hall as its main hall.
Fang Jian was currently sitting high up in the Tianshu Hall, receiving congratulations from the Tianshu Province immortal officials below.
Thanks to this expedition to the Southern Continent, and Fang Jian's contributions in supporting logistics and recruiting heavenly soldiers, the immortal officials in the Wuying Palace were all rewarded and promoted.
For example, Qu Daoping, the former junior director of Taixuan Province, is now the new Tianshu Dulu, and his status in Tianshu Province is only second to Fang Jian.
After everyone finished their greetings, Fang Jian said to Qu Daoping, "Tianshu Dulu, from now on, your duty is to lead the immortal officials of Tianshu Du Province to the Four Heavenly Gates' Demon-Slaying Command to count and inventory the number of heavenly soldiers, as well as calculate the number of those who have left and those who have stayed."
Qu Daoping was startled when he heard this and said, "The question of whether to stay or go? Lord Envoy, what does this mean?"
Fang Jian said, "They are the three million scattered immortals who promised to choose whether to stay or leave after the war. The Heavenly Court cannot break their promise. Therefore, we should interview and count all the celestial soldiers who are scattered immortals. Those who wish to stay will stay, and those who wish to leave will be recorded. After the count is completed, they will all be given robbery jades and dismissed."
Qu Daoping suddenly understood what was going on and immediately bowed and said, "I will follow the order of the great envoy."
Just as Qu Daoping and the other immortal officials received the order and left, Hei Haier carried the three giant divine axes and walked into Tianshu Hall.
At this time, Hei Haier had also changed out of his original sixth-rank immortal official robes and replaced them with fifth-rank immortal official robes. He had also made many contributions when following Fang Jian during the expedition to the Southern Continent, so he was also promoted to the first rank.
"Your Excellency, Master Ren Hua is waiting to see you outside the hall." Hei Haier bowed.
Fang Jian was startled when he heard this, then he immediately stood up and walked over to the jade table and said, "Please come in."
The black boy bowed and turned to leave. After a while, a burst of loud laughter was heard, and then Master Ren Hua strode into the Tianshu Hall.
"Master Hongqing, congratulations." Master Ren Hua clasped his fists towards Fang Jian, then bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets the Grand Master."
"Hahaha." Fang Jian quickly stepped forward and grabbed Master Ren Hua, saying, "There's no need to be like this, fellow Daoist. Black boy, serve Master Ren Hua some tea."
Fang Jian then invited Master Ren Hua to take a seat. The two sat side by side on two sandalwood chairs on the left side of the hall. Fang Jian then asked, "Where will you pursue your studies, fellow Daoist?"
Because the original officials of the Taixuandu Province did not make much contribution in this expedition to the Southern Continent, even if they were rewarded, it would not be possible to promote them to the next level. Therefore, Master Ren Hua is not qualified to be the chief envoy of the Taixuandu Province now, so he must have been appointed to another position, which is basically a horizontal transfer.
As Fang Jian finished speaking, Ren Hua Zhenren said with a smile on his face: "Shenxiao Jade Palace has appointed me as the Heavenly Monarch of Xitian Palace."
"Oh?!" Fang Jian was stunned when he heard that, but then he smiled happily and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, fellow Taoist! This is a high-ranking official."
Ren Hua waved his hand, then looked at Fang Jian seriously and said, "To be honest, I came here to bother you for no other reason than to learn the true scriptures from you, Master Hongqing."
Now that the war in Jambudvīpa has ended, Buddhism and Taoism have submitted petitions of apology, and the overall situation in which Heaven dominates everything has been determined.
Therefore, the current Xiniu Hezhou no longer has such a high degree of specialness, so Fang Jian no longer serves as the Lord of the Western Heaven Palace, and Ren Hua Zhenren becomes the successor to the Lord of the Western Heaven Palace.
But even though Xiniu Hezhou is no longer so special, the situation there is still complicated, because it is the private territory of Buddhism after all. So as soon as Master Ren Hua received the appointment, he immediately came to Tianshu Province to find Fang Jian to "learn from him".
