The Monkey King

   "The roller blinds refer to Marshal Tianpeng." The roller blinds saluted respectfully.

  Tianpeng also simply bowed in return: "General Roller Shutter is polite. I don't know, what is the reason for His Majesty's urgent announcement of Tianpeng's audience this time?"

   "Your Majesty's intentions, how dare those who are ministers dare to speculate." Roller blind replied respectfully.

   said so on his lips, but his hand quietly pointed to the side. Where he pointed, the outline of a tall tower could be vaguely seen in the mist.

   Canopy immediately understood and didn't ask any more questions.

   turned sideways, the roller blind said lightly: "Marshal please."

  The canopy stepped over the big red threshold.

  There are countless tall candles lit in the empty hall. The bright halo reflects the gorgeous golden ornaments on the wall. There is a faint mist.

   walked into the inner corridor from the side door with the canopy, and the two quickly arrived in front of a pair of huge red wooden doors.

  Looking up, the hollowed-out carvings on the door were embedded with gold leaf, shining brightly under the light of the candlesticks on both sides.

  The roller blind shouted loudly: "Marshal Tianpeng is here!"

After shouting   , he stretched out his hand to push open the pair of red wooden doors, and made a sideways gesture of please.

   nodded silently towards the roller blinds, and the canopy raised its legs and stepped into the room.

  The main hall is magnificent, and the inner room is exquisite and touching.

   It is like an ordinary living room, except that the tables, chairs, flowers and trees in this room are all reflected in the interlaced light, showing a luxurious beauty, even the walls are also complicated with carved frescoes and exquisite flower pavilions.

   In the middle of the face, there is a string of bamboo curtains that divides the whole room in half. Behind the bamboo curtains, a large reclining chair can be vaguely seen. A figure is sitting on the chair and staring at the sea of ​​flowers outside the window, unable to see his face.

   raised his chest and raised his cloak. The canopy knelt down on one knee and gave a standard military salute. He shouted, "The Tianhe water army has the canopy, see your majesty. May your majesty be blessed."

   At this moment, the roller shutter also came in from the door, holding the magic wand and standing next to the bamboo curtain.

  The Jade Emperor lightly stroked his long beard and said, "Tianpeng, it's hard work."

  The voice coming from behind the bamboo curtain sounds full of magnetism and has a feeling of prestige.

   "For heaven, for your majesty, it doesn't matter how hard you are. I don't know why your majesty called Tianpeng in a hurry."

  The Jade Emperor was silent for a while, then picked up the memorial on the side table and turned his head over, saying, "I have read your memorial."

   The canopy kneeling on the ground raised its head slightly, and a pair of piercing eyes looked at the bamboo curtain, but no matter what, the Jade Emperor's expression could not be seen clearly.

  The Jade Emperor gently folded the memorial and threw it on the low table beside him, then said, "Just now, Li Jingcai left here."

  Tianpeng lowered his head slightly, maintaining his salute posture and waiting for the Jade Emperor to finish his words.

   "What he told me was nothing more than the matter of your performance. I would like to hear your opinion on this matter, what should I do?"

  Tianpeng folded his hands and said loudly: "The general violated the law, and the judgement is the responsibility of the non-minister, and the subject does not dare to make a judgment."

   "Tell me, let you go to this inner room, you don't need to be as restrained as in the court." Holding the tea cup, the Jade Emperor sighed lightly, took two sips, and said slowly: "I, I want to hear your opinion."

Tianpeng coughed twice, bowed deeply, and said: "It is a serious crime for the general to collude with the monsters in the lower realm. This time, the collusion is the famous Jiao Demon King on the most wanted list. Everyone knows that, it can be said to have lost all face in my heaven. In this way, if it is verified, it should be executed without pardon, as an example to others."

  's words were eloquent, but the Jade Emperor behind the bamboo curtain was silent as he stared at the sea of ​​flowers outside the window.

After a long time, the Jade Emperor sighed while stroking his long beard, and said leisurely: "Tianpeng, I also asked Li Jing how to judge this matter before, but that statement is slightly different from yours. You, Would you like to hear it?"

  The canopy bowed his head and bowed his hands, without saying a word, his eyes were as pale as water.

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "The Nantianmen lineage, now that something like this happens, the freezing three feet is not a day's cold, but the accumulation of evils. The reasons for this cannot be explained in a short time. In the future, You should do your best to rectify it. But if you get to the bottom of this matter, it will inevitably shake the military's heart. With such a judgment, Tianpeng, what do you think?"

Tianpeng took two breaths slowly, raised his head and cupped his hands and said: "I think that if the world is in chaos, it is more important to use the heavy code. This is the truth that mortal officials understand. If Li Tianwang's words on this matter are spread out, I'm afraid the sky will be spread out. All the immortals in the underground can't agree. As the guardian of the Nantianmen, it is inappropriate to not self-examine yourself, but to think about excuses!"

  The Jade Emperor immediately laughed, until Tianpeng frowned slightly.

"I thought that if Li Jing didn't investigate the abuses at Nantianmen, he couldn't get rid of it. In this regard, Li Jing also bluntly stated that he was willing to be punished. I have ordered that his salary be deducted for two years, and he would be demoted by half a rank. Accept. It's just that it would be a disgrace to the heaven to spread the collusion with the demon king on this day. Besides, Li Jing's complaint is not unreasonable. What I'm thinking about is how to find a compromise solution that not only punishes the king of growth, but also can Save Tianting's face. I don't know Tianpeng, can you have a good plan?"

  Tianpeng's breathing was a little short, his eyebrows lowered, his expression still unchanged, but his fists were quietly clenched. After being silent for a while, he punched heavily on the breastplate, and Tianpeng cupped his hands and said, "This minister's qualifications are dull, please let Your Majesty express it!"

"Hehehehe." Jade Emperor stroked his long beard and said lightly: "It's better than this, you go back immediately and release the King of Growth. I decree that according to the defeat of Ziyun Bibotan this time, he will be ruled out. The guilt of incompetence in the army. He will be punished with ten years' salary, and his grade will be lowered by three. Let him continue to perform his current duties for the time being, and make meritorious deeds, okay?"

   After being silent for a long time, Tianpeng raised his head and asked: "Then, I dare to ask Your Majesty, how to deal with the collusion with the Demon King?"

The Jade Emperor paused and said slowly: "In this way, there will be no collusion with the demon king. If someone mentions it to the outside world, it is said to be the truth of the emperor's order to provoke the internal relations of the monsters and suppress the monsters. Do you think that How is it?"

   These words fell into Tian Peng's ears, and the tall body was shocked.

   Having said this, even if the canopy has a thousand words, he can’t say anything else, so he can only bow his head and say, “I should obey the order!”

  I didn't expect it. He thought it was just that martial arts were inferior to power, but in the end, in this heaven, the truth was not as good as power.

Seemingly to appease the canopy, the Jade Emperor laughed dryly, stroked his long beard and said, "In these years, you have been for the heavenly court, commanding the Tianhe water army, and conquering the Quartet. In addition to the old malpractices and outstanding achievements, I have seen these in my eyes and remembered them in my heart. I am thinking about how to reward you. Tianpeng, I will wrong you this time."

  Tianpeng cupped his hands and said loudly: "It is the duty of a minister to do your best for His Majesty, minister, don't dare to talk about the word 'grievance'."

   After saying that, he bowed deeply to the ground.

  The Jade Emperor laughed: "It's very rare for you to be so loyal. I heard that a flower bud grew on the moon tree, and it has something to do with you, is there any such thing?"

   These words fell into Tianpeng's ears, and his heart suddenly trembled, but his face remained unchanged.

   After hesitating for a long time, Tianpeng said bluntly: "There is such a thing."

  The Jade Emperor took a long sigh and said with his head raised: "I will discuss this matter with Taishang Laojun, try to make an exception to fix it, and you don't need to worry any more."

   To repair the flower buds is to break the marriage.

   At this moment, in a trance, the face of a fairy in a neon dress seemed to appear in front of Tianpeng's eyes. That smile was as bright as the sun in March, which could melt thousands of feet of ice, and it was sweet to the bottom of my heart.

   "Break the marriage..."

   His heart suddenly felt like a mess, and the fingers clasping his fists tightened.

   blinked and knelt in a daze for a long time. For some reason, he unexpectedly said: "Your Majesty, since it's God's will, it's a blessing, and it's a thank you, so let's go with the flow."

   "Oh?" The Jade Emperor bowed slightly and sat up straight: "Don't repair?"

   "No repairs." Canopy replied with a blank expression.

   "If that's the case, it's up to you, and I've saved a lot of trouble. But if I violate the law in the future, I won't forgive you lightly. You, think about it."

   "Chen." Tian Peng pursed his lips and said slowly, "I think about it."

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and sighed: "I heard that you spent a lot of money to build Guanyun Tiangang in Xiniu Hezhou, and the funds are already stretched. In order to commend the Tianhe Navy for years of hard work and fighting in the Quartet, next month's government treasury allocated the gold essence, plus one times, so good?"

   "My minister, on behalf of all beings in the six realms of Xi Niu Hezhou, I thank your Majesty for the grace!"

   When we went out, the sun was shining brightly.

  The canopy looked up at the endless blue sky in the sky, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, one accidentally stepped on the air, leaned, and the roller blind on the side quickly stepped forward to help.

   "Marshal be careful."

   Holding the hand of the roller blind, the canopy was in a trance for a while, unable to speak for a while.

   After a long time, he turned his face sideways and said, "Thank you."

   That look seemed a little strange, and there were faint beads of sweat on his forehead.

  After the two simply said goodbye, the canopy hurriedly left along the way they came.

Looking at the lonely back of the canopy, the roller blind couldn't help but mumble to himself and sighed: "This time, the matter of growing the king has hit the marshal so hard. Such an embarrassment, but I have never seen it before... It's really hard to be a marshal. already."

   Quickly left the Tiangong, Tianpeng lowered his head along the way, his heart was like a mess, and his mind was full of the face that lingered for a long time.

   "This is... what's going on? Why, why would you refuse... Could it be that I..." He covered his chest with one hand and clenched his fists secretly.

  …

In the    Moon Palace, a red-clothed fairy in a neon dress was facing the wind, staring blankly at the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the direction of the Cloud Domain Sky Harbor on the railing.

   Tears welled up in his eyes.
