C790 Celebration
As a result, just as Chen Yuyang had planned, the Six-Eared Macaque Monkey had already regained its footing in the court.
A warm wind blew across everyone's faces, whether they were sad or smiling, they all seemed so real at this moment. Looking far away from the South Heaven Gate, there was a Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey wearing a silver armor. It held a rod in its hand and a red cloak behind its back.
Even if it was a monkey, with its current appearance and extraordinary vigor, it could be said to be the monkey with the most imposing aura among monkeys. It could also be considered well-deserved.
Beside the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey was Third Prince Nezha. He had a tiny face and two sharp spears in his hands. He had a Wind Fire Wheel under his feet and a Diamond Ring around his neck. However, he was standing next to the Six-Eared Macaque. This kind of combination was a bit strange, but those with discerning eyes quickly understood that these two had definitely formed a deep friendship during the battle. Otherwise it wouldn't be like this. Although the class had returned to the imperial court, the two of them did not joke around. However, their eyes never stopped communicating with each other.
Not bad, Nezha originally didn't think much of this monkey. After all, Nezha had the name of the third prince. At the same time, he was also the disciple of a saint, so it was natural that he would not put a monkey in his eyes. Not to mention, even if Nezha had a bad relationship with Li Jing, they were still father and son. Nezha didn't have a good impression of this monkey that stole his father's position.
However, very quickly, the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey showed great talent in fighting and cultivation, but it deeply admired this proud Third Prince. When he heard that this monkey was a disciple of Qingyang Island, Nezha suddenly felt a sense of respect. After all, Nezha remembered the kindness of Qingyang Island and Dao Sovereign Qing Yang's life in his heart, and did not dare to forget. Thus, the two of them began to get familiar with each other.
It was unknown if it was because they were of the same mind or because Nezha had formed a deep friendship with the new commander of the monkey in this battle to destroy Thunder Mountain. This was a comradeship that only existed in times of war.
Haotian wasn't blind either. Looking from afar, he didn't feel too much fear. On the contrary, he felt that such a combination wasn't too bad. As an emperor, Haotian had too much confidence. Within the Three Realms, even if a saint were to face their emperor, they would still have to give him some face. Thus, he was not worried about the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey forming an alliance with Nezha, threatening his rule.
As an emperor, Haotian naturally had the pride of an emperor. There was no need to mention this point.
The millions of soldiers in the Heavenly Court had all returned to the capital. Haotian had personally come to the South Heaven Gate to welcome them. The people who had come were naturally the civil and military officials of the Heavenly Court. Seeing the Six-Eared Macaque and Nezha leading their subordinates, the four great techniques, and the five great Heavenly Masters slowly approaching, the smile on Haotian's face became even more profound.
Before long, the army of Heavenly Court wolves and tigers arrived in front of him. Haotian shook his Nine Dragon Robe and stepped forward. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Great Marshal, you've worked hard!" As he spoke, Haotian actually cupped his fists. His appearance was extremely incomprehensible. The rhesus monkey and Nezha quickly returned the greeting, "Your majesty, you can't do this!"
Not waiting for them to finish their words, Haotian once again stood before the two like a sovereign of the three realms. He still had a faint smile on his face as he said, "Great Marshal, you have helped me level the mountain of thunderbolts. "Today, I have specially prepared a banquet for the marshal to welcome the marshal from within the jade pool!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey spoke in a neither humble nor haughty manner.
The group of people did not head for the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, but instead, they headed towards the Jade Lake. On the way, Haotian and the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey chatted about something. It was obvious that Haotian wasn't too interested in the battle situation at Thundercrash Mountain. And Haotian's eyes revealed something else.
It was a type of clarity. He seemed to know all the movements of Thunder Mountain well. This caused the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey to feel fear from the bottom of its heart when facing this deep and profound Monarch. However, he still calmly spoke to Haotian. What the two of them were talking about was just what happens to Qingyang Island, and what happens to the Heaven's Court's Yao Chi.
All of the subjects in the Heavenly Court knew that this Marshal Monkey King had returned triumphantly. Adding to the fact that he himself was from the Qingyang Island, he would definitely be heavily favored by Haotian in the future. Some people even wanted to go up and have a chat with him. However, with Haotian here, they knew to restrain themselves. In the end, when they couldn't find the monkey, they went to look for the assistant marshal Nezha.
From the scene just now, it could be seen that the friendship between the Third Prince and the Monkey King was very deep. If he pulled this line, then he would have the hope of becoming rich in the future. So he had a lot of compliments to Nezha, the third prince.
If there were people who were happy, there would naturally be people who were unhappy. Most of them were people related to Li Jing.
When these people saw that the newbies were favored, they felt somewhat sorrowful and dissatisfied. His Majesty was blaming him for liking the new and detesting the old. He only saw the newbies laughing and didn't see the old ones crying. There was an unavoidable bitterness in his heart. As he spoke, he would stab the newly appointed marshal. However, it was just a tone that was neither dark nor cold. The six-eared macaque did not take it to heart.
It was strange to say that although Li Jing had been ordered to return to the Heavenly Court, no judicial god dared to judge this former Heavenly King. This caused the atmosphere in the Heavenly Court to be extremely tense at this moment, and also caused Haotian to be extremely displeased. Haotian didn't think that Li Jing would actually have such tangled powers in the Heavenly Court.
However, since the monkey had come back today, Haotian would naturally not let it go. With a raise of his sword-like eyebrows, Haotian suddenly asked, "I have something to ask of the Grand Marshal. I hope he can enlighten me!"
The Six-Eared Macaque immediately cupped its hands respectfully: "Your Majesty, I dare you to tell me if it's effective or not!"
It could be said that the Heavenly Court was almost completely in the hands of Haotian. Expulsion of Li Jing and taking back the troops and horses was the most important step for Haotian to establish his prestige. At the very least, the monkey in front of him and the power behind him didn't have much interest in the Heavenly Court, so the only thing that Haotian couldn't let go of right now was the judicial power of the Heavenly Court.
Within the framework of Haotian, the Heavenly Court should be a checks and balances of the three as one. Only then would the Heavenly Court be able to maintain its balance and prosperity. You have to understand that although Haotian is just a child of Great Ancestor Hong Jun, his knowledge, as well as the Emperor's Heart Technique that he displayed in the Heavenly Court all these years, really made one feel fear.
The so-called trinity was naturally the combination of the military, the judiciary and court officials. In the current Heavenly Court, although court officials said that there were many disagreements, they were still rather united in general. Among the civil and military officials, each held their own responsibilities and did not interfere with the other. While Li Qing was still alive, this balance could still be maintained, although it wasn't perfect.
However, after Haotian had raised the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey high above his head, this balance had already been broken. In the military, Grand Marshal Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey's prestige had already surpassed Li Jing's. There was a faint possibility of him doing something big. Although Haotian wasn't afraid, once the balance was broken, everyone in the Heavenly Court would be terrified.
Thus, Haotian was forced to once again bring out the thought of the Trinity.
The three of them were one entity. These three were naturally the most important figures in the Heavenly Court. Only the three with sufficient prestige could form the Iron Triangle and form a Triangle to balance each other. Now, the Six-Eared Macaque already had such a trend. With the support of the Third Prince Nezha, Literari Star, and a powerful figure like Wu Crooked Star, the Six-Eared Macaque would soon grow.
The other two aspects of the Trinity were naturally courtiers. On the side of the court official, Li ChangGeng acted as the leader. Although the hundreds of officials below him were not very harmonious, they were still able to fight against the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey that had risen to prominence. However, Haotian was worried that if the two sides fought for too long, the Heavenly Court would definitely suffer some losses. Moreover, such a fight would either be like the west wind crushing the east wind, or the east wind crushing the west wind.
When one side falls, the other side will be the strongest. Only the situation where the three of them stand as one is the most perfect situation. And the last of these three, and the most mysterious one, was naturally the judicial system. Although the Heavenly Court was full of immortals, they were still part of an organization, part of a government.
There was bound to be a lot of justice. As the saying goes, there are no rules. Therefore, Haotian urgently needed someone who could convince the masses and had a high prestige to become the God of Justice. To maintain the Heavenly Court's normal rules of the heavens. Although the Heavenly Court used to have the God of Justice as well, it was still insignificant and could not become a system independent.
Most of the time, the God of Justice was Haotian's spokesperson and did not follow the rules of the heaven.
Moreover, the Heavenly Court had recently taken down the four great heavenly kings and Li Jing. They still needed a powerful judicial god to manage this matter, not a powerful judicial god. Haotian could not personally step in. Otherwise, using the Great Sky Sovereign's name to assassinate his subjects would definitely cause the hearts of everyone in the imperial court to turn cold.
Thinking about it, Haotian still hoped to get the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey's opinion. At the same time, this was also a test: "Six-Eared Myrtle Family, you know, the Heavenly Court seems to be strong all these years. However, the rules of the heaven weren't perfect, and all the judicial gods were weak, making it difficult to entrust them to others. Do you have any suitable candidates? Or should I say, do you have anyone with such talent in terms of Qingyang Island!? "
The Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey looked at Haotian. It seemed as if Haotian's eyes were flashing as he spoke. At the same time, he was also secretly revealing a hint of cold chill. The Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey was one of the four great spirit monkeys in the heaven and earth, being able to see through the human heart. Naturally, he understood what the nominally most powerful Emperor of the Three Realms was thinking.
On the surface, Haotian was asking the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey about Qingyang Island characters, seemingly wanting to use the Azure Sun Clan's people. But in reality, Haotian was only trying to probe and bringing up some matters that the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey could not come into contact with. One had to know that the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey was now the Grand Marshal of the Three Realms, someone who was born with Qingyang Island. If the God of Justice was born with the same Qingyang Island, then the weight of his Qingyang Island in the Heavenly Court would be too great in the future.
Pretending to consider it, the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey smiled and shook its head: "Your Majesty, in terms of cultivation, there are many people with profound cultivation in Qingyang Island. But when it comes to justice, I'm afraid there are no such people on the island. Furthermore, the ancestor has strictly ordered that disciples of Qingyang Island, other than the ancestor himself, are not to take a single step outside the island. "
"Moreover, as the judicial god of the Heavenly Court, this person naturally needs to be famous in the Three Realms. As a cultivator of the Qingyang Island, he should calm his heart and eulogize the Yellow Hall's Three Thousand Scrolls. There don't seem to be many famous people here!"
When Haotian heard this, his eyes suddenly dimmed. He pretended to be a bit regretful and said, "So it's like that!" All of a sudden, he raised his eyes and said, "From what I know, who in the Three Realms would have the prestige to shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"
The Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey smiled faintly, "His Majesty has already made his decision. Why would he ask this subject?"
Haotian was surprised for a moment, then the two of them smiled at each other. And just like that, he arrived at the Jade Pool Immortal Realm. Inside the pond, it was the season of blooming flowers and fragrant peach fruits. It could be said to be the most beautiful scene in the Heavenly Court. It was an unforgettable experience. In the center of the pool, a group of Heavenly Court muse was gently twisting their waists and turning their bodies.
However, with the arrival of Haotian and the ministers, these singers also left the two sides of the Dragon Pool one after another.
Haotian was the first to sit at the center of YaoChi, while the first on the left was naturally Li ChangGeng and Taibai Jinxing. The Six-Eared Macaque was placed on the right side of the table. The rest were all military generals. This arrangement had already allowed the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey to see some clues.
At this moment, there was fragrant tea, a fruit plate, and some food on Zi Tan's dragon table. Haotian waved his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Guests, our Heavenly Court's victory today has thoroughly pacified the bunch of demons from Thunder Mountain. I hereby bestow upon you a banquet. Firstly, it is a welcoming party for the marshal and secondly, it is purely for celebration. At today's banquet, we shall not talk about political matters but only wind and moon. We must do our best today, and not go back until we're drunk! "
As he spoke, Haotian raised the Nine Dragons Golden Revolving Wine bottle in his hand and said gently to the monkey in front of him, "Marshal, I toast to you, it shall be my honor first!"
The Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them spoke again for a while, and then gulped down all the wine in one gulp. At this moment, Li ChangGeng, who was standing on the left side, habitually displayed his talent, and praised, "People say that the greater the capacity, the greater the capacity for alcohol. His Majesty has truly drained all the wine in the Nine Dragon Bottle in one gulp."
The group of people behind him naturally followed Li ChangGeng, as if they agreed, "Venus is right. Your Majesty has good alcohol tolerance, good alcohol tolerance!"
