The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, all the ministers present nodded. Google search reading

Taoist Zheng prayed for rain, and the rain poured down, which was indeed powerful and meritorious. But where does this leave these important officials in the court? Isn't it worse than a Taoist priest going to the altar to pray for rain?

Yuan Tiangang's words hit their mark.

Praying for rain can only temporarily alleviate the disaster. And Bai Gui's memorial memorial is a good method for a hundred generations. It applies not only to this year’s drought, but also to other places in the next hundred and thousand years.

It’s clear who is better and who is worse.

Rather than praising Zheng Daoshi, who was born in a wild group, the ministers recognized Bai Gui, who was in the same system as them. Even if this Taoist Zheng was introduced to the emperor by Bai Gui.

"What Yuan Aiqing said makes sense."

Li Shimin nodded, unwilling to refute Yuan Tiangang and some ministers, and agreed.

He can be honest, but he can't ignore the minister's feelings.

This is a butt problem.

The court is about balance.

As an emperor, you can praise Zheng Daoshi, but you must not put the cart before the horse. Taoist Zheng was able to come to Chang'an to pray for rain. It was not because he was the Human Emperor. The court is the capital he can rely on, and Taoist Zheng is just the icing on the cake.

Bai Gui, as Zuo Shiyi, was also present and thanked Yuan Tiangang in person.

Time passed, and as it approached two quarters of an hour, the rain became increasingly sparse.

In two and a half minutes, the rain dried up and the dark clouds dispersed.

On the phoenix tower.

"Exactly two and a half quarters."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the time signal from the Forbidden Army.

Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and said nothing, looking like a master.

"The master has done great work in bringing rain. He is bestowed with a thousand pieces of gold and is sent to the Qin Tiantai to listen to..."

After Taoist Zheng came down from the altar, Li Shimin met him and rewarded him with Taoism.

Qintiantai, also known as the Observation Tower, was a place where the Tang Dynasty specially recruited strange people. Taoist Zheng knew the art of praying for rain, so it was inevitable for Li Shimin to recruit him to Qin Tiantai.

"As Yuan Taizheng said, a poor Taoist with a humble face can only ask for two and a half hours of rain from the gods. No more, even if he opens an altar to offer sacrifices, he cannot ask for it. Your Majesty ordered me to enter the Qin Tiantai for no other reason than It’s about praying for rain..."

"When a poor Taoist enters the imperial rooftop, it is nothing more than a clay statue. It is of no use at all. Your Majesty, please take back your order."

Taoist Zheng was not conceited and declined Li Shimin's generous gift.

What he wants is merit, not some mundane gold and silver. He has no shortage of these gold and silver. When he entered Qin Tiantai, he had no confidence that he would not show his flaws under Yuan Tiangang's nose.

When he went up to Fenglou just now, he was shocked when he heard that Yuan Tiangang had accurately calculated the time for him to pray for rain in advance. If he hadn't done a good job in cultivating his character on weekdays, he would have been so scared that he ran away at this moment.

Stay safe!

Being too greedy is not beautiful.

Yuan Tiangang is the leader of Qin Tiantai.

"The master has great talents, but he cannot be used by me. It is my loss. I will order people to renovate the Qingshan Temple in Wuwei City, give a plaque, allocate it to the Taoist field, and give Lumi every year..."

When Li Shimin heard this, he sighed and did not force anything, and then added many rewards to Taoist Zheng.

Although the previous reward was meager, it actually gave Zheng Daoshi a chance to become an official. Now that Taoist Zheng is unwilling to be an official in Qin Tiantai, then this official position will automatically turn into other rewards.

Official positions are more expensive than gold and silver!

At this moment, Taoist Zheng has made it clear that he can no longer pray for rain for the Tang Dynasty, and Qin Tiantai is not lacking in other high ways. Taoist Zheng didn't want to stay, and Li Shimin wouldn't push too hard.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Taoist Zheng gathered his clothes and thanked him.

…

After praying for rain, Taoist Zheng did not stay in Baizhai for long. He left Chang'an and returned to Wuwei City in Liangzhou Prefecture.

However, before leaving, Taoist Zheng also made it clear that if anything happens in the future, Bai Gui can also come to him. Even if he can't do it, there are two other uncles who can help him.

Monks are all well-connected. Even though Bai Gui had a little disagreement with him, it didn't hurt. At most, the relationship between master and apprentice is transformed into a cooperative relationship. For example, this time, he prayed for rain for China and gained a lot. As for Bai Gui, it is obvious that his future is unlimited.

It is still necessary to make good friends, because it is not necessary to stop eating because of choking.

Bai Gui would not refuse and readily agreed.

Cultivation is not only about fighting and killing, but also about being human and understanding the world.

The drought lasted until late June.

Although the grain production was reduced a lot due to the severe drought in Guanzhong this time, due to Bai Gui and Zheng Daoshi, many crops that died of drought were saved. Although it was a famine year, fortunately it did not cause any human disaster.

And on this day, July 6th.

Bai Gui was writing a memorial when he suddenly felt sleepy, but he did not resist.

The soul left the body leisurely and came to the nine heavens.

"According to the decree of the Great Heavenly Lord, Bai Gui, the human court official, has made great achievements in disaster relief this time and has made countless merits... I specially give Bai Gui the position of Cao Cao, with the power to control human affairs. I appreciate this."

A golden armored god held a jade edict and declared to Bai Gui.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the Great Heavenly Lord for his kindness."

Bai Gui bowed and thanked him.

The golden-armored god nodded slightly, threw the jade edict towards Bai Gui, and then ran away.

In an instant, Bai Gui also returned to the earthly immortal world from above the nine heavens.

"Does power control human affairs?"

Bai Gui woke up from the document and took out the jade edict from his soul. This jade edict was similar to the emperor's edict, but it was made of white jade. On the jade edict, there are gold characters written in dragon and phoenix seals.

Every dragon seal and phoenix seal seems to have a hidden meaning.

"With this jade decree, it means that I am a human being."

"And this jade decree is obviously also a fairy treasure. With the decree in hand, the demons will be subdued."

Holding this jade edict in his hand, the first magical effect sneaked into his heart.

This jade edict is the imperial edict of the Jade Emperor. Although the words are not necessarily written by the Jade Emperor, it is stamped with the seal of the Great Heavenly Lord. This seal represents heaven. Therefore, as soon as this jade decree comes out, except for the big demons in the earthly immortal world, ordinary small demons must bow their heads obediently.

"But... I always feel that I am not a simple official. I am directly in charge of human affairs? I wonder what Wei Zheng's decree... is like. Is it also 'power to control human affairs'?"

"Could it be that the Great Heavenly Lord saw my background and backstage?"

Bai Gui thought to himself.

The authority given by this jade edict to control human affairs is not simple. Generally speaking, angels would only give power to one place, such as managing Jiannan Road and Guannai Road, and they would never say they would manage the entire Tang Dynasty.

But this doubt only appeared in his mind for a while, and he didn't care about it anymore.

The scope of the heavenly court's jurisdiction is much larger than that of the human dynasty. The affairs in the human world that he controls are only within a small area and are not considered major events.

He began to refine this man, Cao Yuzhi.

Refining from sunset to dawn the next day.

This day is a holiday.

But something happened that Bai Gui didn't expect. At noon, Yuan Tiangang came into the house to meet him.

living room.

The two sat opposite each other.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, when I was at Fenglou that day, I observed your master and discovered some clues. But praying for rain is a major matter of the country, and it is beneficial to the people. Therefore, although I am the official of Qintiantai, I follow the instructions Out of selfish motives, I did not report this matter to Your Majesty..."

Yuan Tiangang ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables, took another sip of tea soup, and said.

Drought affected the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty. That's why after the drought ended, he went to Bai Gui's house to meet with Bai Gui to discuss the matter.

Of course, he didn't come here with any malicious intent. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to eat vegetables and drink tea.

"Yuan Taizheng, this matter involves my master. As a disciple, how can I slander him?"

Bai Gui's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly.

Introducing Taoist Zheng to meet Li Shimin, he guessed that some Taoist priest would discover that Taoist Zheng was a demon. But when he was asked to refuse, it was really difficult for him to refuse. First, he can't break up with Taoist Zheng yet. Second, the conditions offered by Taoist Zheng are good. Third, praying for rain is good for the country and the people, but he refuses just because of Taoist Zheng's alien status. , this may not be the right thing to do.

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said nothing.

The reason why he came to see Bai Gui was not to accuse Bai Gui, but to remind Bai Gui, a "good official", that there is something wrong with your master and ask Bai Gui to be careful. Bai Gui is a human race and he can still see this. come out.

Now Bai Gui's answer seems to be to defend Taoist Zheng. But if there was truly a deep relationship between master and disciple, I would never reply to him like this, but directly kick him out.

Yuan Tiangang took another bite of stir-fried vegetables with his bamboo chopsticks.

Bai Zhai's stir-fried dishes are novel, and this is the first time he has eaten this kind of food. The taste is rich and far more delicious than the current stewed food.

It's just that after he picked up the dishes for a while, he looked at Bai Gui's face again.

Suddenly I was shocked.

He had seen Bai Gui's face before, but when he saw Bai Gui that time, he thought he looked like a rich man. But when I look at it today, my appearance has changed a lot.

"Heaven's blessings of luck, the appearance of immortals and gods..."

"No, it's not a fairy. This is an official position in heaven..."

He said with some surprise.

The slight suspicion of Bai Gui Bai Gui in his heart suddenly disappeared.
