Back in Xitianfu, the imperial edict of Taixuandu Province regarding the restructuring of the four heavenly kings' palaces had already been issued, but because Fang Jian was not there, the immortal official who came to convey the edict had not left.
The one who came to Xitian Palace to announce the decree this time was Taixuan Chengwulang Qin Yi Zhenren.
As old colleagues from the previous court, the two met again and talked for a long time in the Hongde Hall.
"Master Shao Ling was struck by the Five Thunder Whips." Master Qin Yi shook his head and said, "The injury was severe. He has been bedridden for a month."
Fang Jian was startled when he heard this and asked, "What happened to Master Shao Ling? Why did he get hit by the Five Thunder Whips?"
Fang Jian knew the power of the Thunder Whip. Shao Ling Zhenren was only a True Immortal and his physical body was not strong, so being hit by the Five Thunder Whips was really a heavy blow.
Qin Yi said helplessly, "He was ordered to go to the lower realm to capture a demon, but he got drunk as soon as he got there, which led to him making mistakes and causing the demon to escape the net set by the heavenly soldiers. Fortunately, the abbot of Shaoyang Mountain, Li Xuanyi, helped him capture it. Otherwise, the evil creature would have sneaked back into the human world."
Fang Jian was also quite speechless after hearing this, "What kind of skills does that evildoer have?"
Qin Yi Zhenren said: "The Xuanxian Dao has a body made of steel and iron."
Fang Jian held his forehead and said, "If he doesn't change his drinking habit, he will make big mistakes in the future. This time, with the help of Master Li Xuan, we were able to prevent that evildoer from escaping into the mortal world. If it weren't for Master Li Xuan, that evildoer would have sneaked into the mortal world and killed everyone.
If you kill innocent people, I'm afraid you'll have to go through life on the Immortal Execution Platform, not to mention the Thunder Whip."
"Yes." Qin Yi Zhenren also said: "Back in the Heavenly Court, you imprisoned him in the Lei Ze Black Prison because he drank alcohol and neglected his duties. We didn't understand. Now it seems that you were right."
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about the past. By the way, with the Tianjun Mansion's divine general restructuring, what are the reactions from the other three Tianjun Mansions?"
"Yes." Qin Yi Zhenren said this with a smile on his face, "After the Grand Envoy announced that your report was approved and announced it to the Four Heavenly Sovereigns, we received many unexpected responses."
"Oh?" Fang Jian became interested. "Unexpected reaction? Tell me about it."
Qin Yi Zhenren said with a smile: "You would never imagine that after hearing that the gods would be incorporated into the ranks of the heavenly soldiers, the people from the three great celestial monarchs not only did not blame you, but instead praised you to the utmost."
Fang Jian heard this and said, "Could it be that he is saying the opposite of what he means?"
"I had this suspicion before, but when the General of the Southern Heaven Palace came to the Heavenly Palace to do business, I heard him explain the whole story." As he said this, Master Qin Yi told Fang Jian exactly what the General of the Southern Heaven Palace had said to him.
After listening to this, Fang Jian suddenly realized that the immortal officials and generals from the other three Heavenly Lords' Palaces not only had no objection to this matter, but were very supportive of it.
First, Fang Jian requested that the divine generals of the Tianjun Palace be incorporated into the ranks of the heavenly soldiers, but he did not dismiss the original divine generals. This was equivalent to saying that the divine generals who were originally only private soldiers of the Tianjun Palace suddenly became the regular army of the Heavenly Court.
Moreover, the original rank of the gods was only eighth, one rank higher than the land god, but the heavenly soldiers in the heavenly court were genuine sixth-rank immortal officials. Not only did they have high rank and high salary, they were also regular troops. Who could not be happy?
Therefore, as soon as the news came out, the generals of the Four Heavenly Kings' Palaces were all overjoyed, and Fang Jian was so grateful that he almost burned incense and kowtowed.
Fang Jian, who understood what was going on, shook his head and smiled. He had only proposed this idea to make things more convenient for them. He had no intention of seeking benefits for them. It could only be said to be a coincidence.
Then, Master Qin Yi talked with Fang Jian in Xitian Palace for another hour, then he stood up, said goodbye, and returned to Heaven.
Fang Jian glanced at the imperial edict he had received from Qin Yi Zhenren, and then said to a divine general, "Summon the Generals of Capture and Kill, Destroy Temples, Destroy Altars, and Messenger of Letters, and the Heavenly General Guarding the Palace, and bring them to me."
Soon, the five heavenly generals came to Hongde Palace to pay their respects, and Tang Yu had also returned from visiting relatives in Northern Juluzhou.
"Do you know about the restructuring of the Four Heavenly Lords' Palaces?" Fang Jian asked the five heavenly generals.
The five great generals responded in unison: "Your Excellency, we understand."
Fang Jian nodded, raised the imperial edict in his hand, and said, "Since that's the case, from now on, the divine generals of the Tianjun Palace will be officially incorporated into the rank of Heavenly Generals. The 'Western Heavenly Palace Pacification Division' will be established, commanded by the Tianjun Palace's General of Capture and Kill, and under whose command will be the General of Destroying Altars, the General of Destroying Temples, the Envoy of Transmitting Letters, the Heavenly General of Guarding the Palace, and ten thousand Heavenly Soldiers."
This was stipulated in the imperial edict of Taixuan Province. The Four Heavenly Kings' Palaces established the "Zhenfu Division", which was led by the generals of the Four Heavenly Kings' Palaces. All the martial arts immortal officials of the Heavenly Kings' Palaces were under the jurisdiction of the Zhenfu Division.
This means that the General Zhuosha went from being the nominal chief of the Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Sovereign's Palace to the actual chief of the Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Sovereign's Palace, and became the third most important person after the Heavenly Sovereign and the Shangshu.
However, the rank did not change, but the actual power changed. The only ones whose rank changed were the generals of the Tianjun Palace. They were all promoted from eighth-rank immortal officials to sixth-rank immortal officials.
"Catch and kill the general." Fang Jian shouted at Tang Yu.
Tang Yu stepped forward excitedly and bowed, "I am here."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "You can choose the immortal palace where the head of the Zhenfu Division is located, officially select the head of the Zhenfu Division, and then report the list of all the gods in Xitian Prefecture and submit it to the Tianshu Province."
"Follow the law." Tang Yu bowed and said.
If the Taixuan Province issues an imperial edict, then these gods will be incorporated into the ranks of the heavenly soldiers, and their ranks will be promoted and their equipment will be replaced, which will all need to be reported to the Tianshu Province.
It took more than a month from the issuance of the imperial edict to the completion of the restructuring of the Four Heavenly Kings' Palaces.
When Fang Jian saw the 10,000 heavenly soldiers lined up in neat rows on the Xitianfu parade ground, he couldn't help but raise his hands to block his eyes because it was too dazzling.
