A person with great martial arts skills like Cheng Yaojin would not be afraid of ghosts from a sensory perspective.

People who practice martial arts must have a strong drive.

"Know the rules, don't be careless." Li Shimin's face was solemn, and he couldn't help but say, "You don't know how dangerous ghosts are. If the immortal king hadn't come to the world last night, I, Taoist Li, and hundreds of palace guards would have been killed by ghosts."

For Li Shimin, the terror of the evil ghost yesterday was probably something he would never forget.

Upon hearing this, there were some exclamations from the officials.

Many officials only then knew about this.

The palace was actually haunted last night! And an immortal had already descended into the world.

No wonder, today when His Majesty summoned all the officials, he said right from the start that he wanted to welcome the Immortal King.

However, even Taoist Priest Li and hundreds of his royal guards were nearly killed.

This evil ghost is so vicious!

"Your Majesty, I am not careless." Cheng Yaojin was confident, and bowed again to the person behind him, "The Immortal King came to the world and bestowed this method, just to allow mortals like us to have the power to fight against evil spirits. Zhijie is not confident in himself, but in the Immortal King. I think a mere evil spirit will be vulnerable in front of the Immortal King's method!"

Li Shimin was stunned by his respectful face and the way he even raised his voice.

He pointed at him for a long time.

It's hard to say anything.

Finally, he forced a smile.

"Zhijie is right. With the Immortal Lord's blessing, a mere evil ghost is nothing to worry about. Don't worry, Zhijie. When I return, I will order the Hundred Cavalry Division to collect intelligence. Wherever there is an evil ghost, Zhijie will be sent there immediately."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed.

Then he ran over to the other generals, and within a moment, his voice boasting about himself could be heard.

Li Shimin was quite helpless.

"Your Highness, General Cheng has always been a true character." Empress Changsun said softly, "It is not a bad thing for General Cheng to get the first gift of the Immortal Lord."

Li Shimin was confused at first, then he looked at Li Chunfeng who was looking envious.

Suddenly it dawned on me.

That's right, the reason why the Immortal King did not punish him was because he could help in dealing with the catastrophe, but this kind of role is not irreplaceable. If the Immortal King had bestowed the magic on the Taoist sect, then after that, those who control and capture ghosts would be all from the Taoist sect, and he, the emperor, would probably be dispensable.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

After everyone had left the hall, they turned around and found that the ladder was slowly disappearing.

However, the fairy palace still towers above the high garden.

"My dear ministers, you may go back first, comfort the people, and adjourn the court."

After leaving this sentence, Li Shimin went straight back to the harem.

All the officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

Many of them have not yet recovered from what happened today, especially the imperial censors, who are all a little dazed at this moment and slowly dispersed.

However, four people returned to the palace after leaving.

Yuchi Jingde, Qin Qiong, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling.

The four people gathered in the study room after being summoned by Li Shimin.

At this moment, Li Shimin had changed into casual clothes and came to the study.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four of them sat down.

"Lord Fang." Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling first. "Lord Fang, you have come back from Luoyang overnight. It is really hard work, but I still have many things to rely on you."

Li Shimin now treats his capable ministers much more kindly than before.

It's almost back to the time when he was the King of Qin.

After all, although there is no emperor above him now, there is an immortal who is far more authoritative than the emperor.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this." Fang Xuanling's face was bitter. "I thought I had gained a lot in Luoyang, and wanted to rush back to inform Your Majesty as soon as possible, but I didn't expect to be a step too late. Fortunately, the Immortal King came to the world, and Your Majesty can be safe and sound."

"Even if you came back in time, what can you do?" Li Shimin shook his head, not wanting to talk about what happened last night. Instead, he said seriously, "You all heard what the Immortal King said today. This catastrophe in the human world is beyond our imagination. However, since the Immortal King is helping us, we should not surrender. Whatever you think, please tell us."

Li Shimin's expression was very solemn.

This is enough to show how much he values ​​this matter.

It's easy to imagine.

This not only concerns the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world, but also whether he, the guilty emperor, can make up for his mistakes.

How could I not take it seriously?

"Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling spoke first, and it was obvious that he had already prepared something in mind. "The method bestowed by the Immortal Lord is the art of controlling ghosts, which is to turn the enemy into your own use, and then turn it against the enemy. I boldly guess that there will be many ghost controllers in the future, and they will be the strongest in the world. Even the legendary land immortals will not be able to defeat the ghost controllers."

Land immortals, that's just a rumor.

Exceeding the level of those who are apparently top-notch powerhouses.

Just like a land immortal.

Unfathomable.

But the statement of being a land immortal is just an exaggeration. No matter how powerful they are, how can they compare to the true immortals in heaven.

And the Immortal Lord just said it himself.

A ghost is so powerful that even an ordinary immortal would find it hard to match him.

"Indeed." Li Shimin nodded seriously, then frowned slightly, "But the Immortal King also said before that the ghosts being controlled cannot suck the blood of others, so it can only be used to deal with evil ghosts, if that's the case."

"Your Majesty," Changsun Wuji said, "You cannot suck the blood of others. I'm afraid that the Immortal King is just preventing people from becoming addicted to the way of ghosts and harming people to increase the power of evil ghosts. However, the Immortal King did not say that the ghosts under his control cannot fight with people anymore."

This one sentence made Li Shimin, and even Qin Qiong and others suddenly realize.

Indeed, this prohibition is probably only intended to prevent someone from confining "blood food" to feed evil spirits.

But you can’t eat it, it doesn’t say it can’t harm you.

In this way, the status of ghost riders will still be infinitely elevated.

"What do you think we should do?" Li Shimin asked again.

He looked worried.

If the Ghost Rider was not controlled by the court but was independent of it, then he would not even know where to get the merit to make up for his mistakes, let alone embark on the path to immortality.

This is like a general. If he wants to make a contribution, he must first have the opportunity to lead troops into battle.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry." Changsun Wuji still cupped his hands, his eyes flickering slightly, "After today, Your Majesty is the emperor of the world appointed by the Immortal King. You should be responsible for dealing with the catastrophe. I suggest that Your Majesty should establish the 'Ghost Control Department' and appoint Cheng Zhijie as the first director. Then summon a group of brave and decisive strong men who are loyal to the court to assist them. They will be in charge of all matters related to ghosts. Your Majesty, if this matter can be done well, it will not only be a credit to Your Majesty, but you can also use this righteousness to call on all ghost controllers in the world. You will not be ashamed of the Immortal King and the people!"
