"Okay." Wuzhiqi said, "What do you want to say?"
The child said, "Give me a memorial and I will write it."
Soon Wuzhiqi took out a memorial and handed it to the child. After receiving the memorial, the child thought about it and then began to write.
After an incense stick of time, the child finished writing the memorial and handed it to Wen Zhenru with both hands.
Wen Zhenru took the memorial and glanced at it. Then, with a slightly surprised expression, she looked at the child and asked, "What's your name?"
"Bo Ji." said the child.
At this time, Wuzhiqi asked, "Boji, what did you write?"
Bo Ji said, "Don't worry, great-grandfather. What I wrote will never bring harm to the entire Huaidu Divine Mansion."
Wuzhiqi was worried and wanted to take another look, but Wen Zhenru had already ordered General Lei to send the memorial to heaven.
Wuzhiqi and Huailing Jellyfish looked at each other, with a hint of expectation on their faces, but more of worry.
After an agonizing hour, two beams of immortal light descended from the sky, one after the other. Wen Zhenru looked up and said, "It's Fellow Daoist Jiang Yidao, the messenger from Taishi Immortal Capital."
Wuzhiqi and Huailing Jellyfish's expressions changed when they heard this, and they quickly called all the people from the Huaidu Divine Palace around to come up and greet him. Jiang Yidao's identity was no secret among the high-level immortal officials, so Wuzhiqi and Huailing Jellyfish were so solemn and awe-inspiring.
"Welcome the envoy." Led by Wuzhiqi and his wife, everyone came to Jiang Yidao.
Jiang Yidao was flattered and quickly returned the greeting. He then said, "I have been ordered to convey the oral instructions of the Great Emperor Hongqing."
After saying that, Jiang Yidao asked, "Who is Bo Ji?"
Bo Ji stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Messenger, it is me."
Jiang Yidao looked at Bo Ji in surprise, then smiled and said, "The Great Emperor Hongqing has issued an oral decree that Bo Ji immediately take up the post of Dragon King of Yanhe. The rest of Bo Yuan's family will be spared, but demoted to the rank of Loose Immortals."
Hearing this, not only Wuzhiqi and Huailing Jellyfish breathed a sigh of relief, but Boyuan's brothers and sisters who were about to be beheaded were also ecstatic and knelt on the ground to worship and express their gratitude towards the sky.
Although he was demoted to a wandering immortal and became a "branch" of the Huaidu Divine Mansion, it was better than losing his life.
Bo Ji was surprised and asked, "You want me to be the Dragon King of Yanhe?"
Jiang Yidao nodded and said, "Yes, Great Emperor Hongqing said that your memorial is well written. Great Emperor Hongqing appreciates talents. Since you are willing to make contributions to the Heavenly Court, then become the Dragon King of Yanhe. If you can do well, you will be rewarded in the future. If you do not do well, your crime will be even more severe."
Upon hearing this, Bo Ji immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Yes, your servant Bo Ji will obey the order of the Great Emperor Hong Qing."
Jiang Yidao then said to Wen Zhenru, "Great Emperor Hongqing has given the order to withdraw the thunder soldiers and return to heaven to report."
Wen Zhenru bowed his head and said, "I will obey the command of the Dharma."
Afterwards, Wen Zhenru led the thunder soldiers and generals to leave the Huaidu Divine Palace and return to the Divine Thunder Jade Palace to report. Jiang Yidao also followed Wen Zhenru back to heaven.
After Wen Zhenru and others left, Bo Ji stood up. Although he was only a seven-year-old child, his performance today was far better than that of his father Bo Xun.
Bo Ji turned around and cried for his father Bo Xun and mother Aoxue, and then he was helped up by Wuzhiqi's men. The bodies of Bo Xun and Aoxue were collected and prepared for burial.
"Bo Ji, what did you write in the memorial to the Great Emperor Hongqing?" Wuzhiqi looked at his great-grandson with admiration and asked curiously.
Bo Ji said, "I didn't write anything in reply to my great-grandfather. I just argued with him."
Wuzhiqi couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this. Arguing with reason also depends on the situation and the person. To argue with Emperor Hongqing, one must have the ability.
But since Bo Ji was unwilling to speak, Wu Zhiqi did not press him any further. Instead, he said, "Bo Ji, you are about to take up your post as the Dragon King of Yanhe. Are you... okay?"
Bo Ji said, "It's naturally not enough for my great-grandson to do it alone. I'm weak and still young, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to convince the others."
Wuzhiqi immediately understood what was meant when he heard this, so he stood up and said to Boji's brothers and sisters, "From today on, all of you will assist Boji in becoming the Dragon King of Yanhe. If you perform well, I will continue to treat you as my direct descendants. If you do not, I will punish you severely."
Upon hearing this, these people who were all the great-grandsons of Wuzhiqi bowed their heads and accepted the order. Among them were true immortals and mysterious immortals, so it was naturally enough for them to assist Bo Ji in becoming the Dragon King of Yanhe.
Soon after burying Bo Xun and Ao Xue, Bo Ji took his brothers and sisters, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law to Yanhe to take up their posts.
Wuzhiqi also began to conduct an investigation in the Huaidu Divine Mansion to see if there were any descendants as corrupt as Bo Yuan. He wanted to find them out and deal with them as soon as possible to avoid implicating the entire Huaidu Divine Mansion in the future.
What happened in Yanhe and Huaidu Divine Mansion soon spread to the other three Divine Mansions. The four Divine Mansions were shocked, and at the same time, the four Divine Mansions jointly launched an investigation into the scum of the family.
Just three months later, the Four Defilements Divine Palace expelled more than a hundred morally corrupt and stubborn descendants, demoted them to casual cultivators, and severed all ties with them.
