Chapter 750 Fire at the city gate affects Chiyu
Yang Ren proposed a feasible plan, and the silent court finally regained its vitality. The gods talked one after another and discussed the topic of borrowing the map of the country.
"Yang Taisui is indeed a wise minister who dared to speak out and make suggestions in the court of the Shang Dynasty. This is a brilliant plan!"
"While depleting the demons, we can also replenish our divine power. We can also find a blessed place for the living beings on earth to recuperate and worship the gods. It can be said to be the best of all worlds."
"However, on the battlefield of Mount Tai, Commander Li Jing openly disrespected Nuwa and refused to obey her order to send heavenly soldiers to rescue the royal family of Great Zhou. Given Nuwa's temper, it is difficult to borrow this map."
"Wait, what did Yin Taisui say just now? Did Li Jing offend Nuwa?"
The Jade Emperor had keen senses and he quickly heard the discordant voices in the chaotic discussions among the gods.
Yin Jiao, the Tai Sui of the Year, was called by the Jade Emperor and hurriedly walked out of the immortal class to report: "Your Majesty, you still don't know about this? That's right, Marshal Li Jing was seriously injured and has not yet woken up. I haven't had time to report to you yet."
"That's right, tell me what's going on!"
"Just when the demons were about to break through the seal of Mount Tai, for some unknown reason, the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered at Mount Tai and rushed to the top like crazy. Goddess Nuwa arrived on a phoenix chariot and asked Marshal Li Jing to send troops to disperse the princes and preserve the fate of the Great Zhou."
Yin Jiao slowly said, "Marshal Li said that a great war was imminent and that if he sent troops to rescue the princes of Great Zhou, they would be thrown into disarray. He rejected the offer outright and asked Nuwa to ask for your divine edict before he would follow your orders."
"But it was too late. Nuwa was so angry that she jumped on the Phoenix Chariot and returned to the Wa Palace. As soon as Nuwa left, Mount Tai collapsed. All the princes of the Great Zhou were killed or injured. Many of them were accidentally killed by the magical powers that the gods used to attack the demons."
The more the Jade Emperor listened, the darker his face became. There was nothing more frustrating than just wanting to ask someone to curry favor with him, only to find out that his short-sighted lackey had offended the other person.
"A useless person who is always causing trouble but can't do anything good!"
After listening to Yin Jiao's statement, even the Jade Emperor, who was very well-mannered, could not help but shout in anger.
Yin Jiao tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up, bowed, and then returned to the Tai Sui Department of Immortals.
Although they were both members of the Chan sect, Yin Jiao wished Li Jing bad luck. Just now, when the gods were discussing, he deliberately gave a loud reminder to induce the Jade Emperor to question him.
Yin Jiao had always looked down on Li Jing, especially after Li Jing gained favor by currying favor with the Jade Emperor and climbed to a high position after the Conferred God Ceremony, Yin Jiao became more and more displeased with him.
The reason for this disgust is related to Yin Jiao's personal experience. Although he is a disciple of the Chan sect, he is also the son of Emperor Xin. The two contradictory identities, caught between righteousness and family affection, make him suffer in his heart.
But even at the last moment, Yin Jiao did not abandon the relationship between father and son. He was willing to betray the Chan sect and fall into disgrace in order to protect his father.
But what about Li Jing? He sold his son just because the Dragon King questioned him!
This forced Nezha to "cut off his flesh to return to his father and cut off his bones to return to his mother", and he sacrificed himself to save Li Jing's official position and reputation.
Yin Jiao couldn't help but empathize with Nezha's experience. Later, when Nezha wanted to seek revenge on Li Jing, he secretly supported him.
But Li Jing, a habitual flatterer and a fence-sitter, betrayed the Shang Dynasty and then hooked up with the ancient Buddha Dipankara. He subdued Nezha with the exquisite pagoda and forced Nezha to act out the "kind father and filial son" drama.
He even shamelessly used Nezha, making him fight for him as a vanguard, while he greedily took away the military merits and rose to prominence!
How could a father be so shameless? As a member of the Father's Avengers Alliance, Yin Jiao just had no chance to deal with Li Jing, a very evil father.
Now he finally seized the opportunity and gave Li Jing a severe eye drop and a small injection in front of the Jade Emperor.
"I was watching the scene where Lady Nuwa was driven away by Li Jing. Her nose was almost crooked because of anger. I have never seen her so angry before."
"Yes, before Lady Nuwa left, she seemed to have clenched her fists so hard that they made a creaking sound, and she had a murderous look in her eyes. Marshal Li is a man of talent to have made the saint so angry."
"Listening to the tone of his answer, it feels like His Majesty instructed him to use His Majesty to pressure Lady Nuwa. Perhaps this is why she was so furious."
A group of immortal officials from the Jiejiao and the Shang Dynasty who also disliked Li Jing started to add insult to injury and acted sarcastic.
In fact, they were a bit unfair to Li Jing. The reason why Nuwa was so angry was that Wen Rui was the culprit.
But now that yellow mud has fallen into his crotch, it is shit if not shit. The shit pot is put on Li Jing's head, and he has no way to defend himself.
"Humph, I haven't had time to investigate the blame for this defeat yet!"
The Jade Emperor was so angry that his teeth were itching. This was not the first time that Li Jing had failed. In the Jade Emperor's impression, this guy did not seem to have any achievements to show for. He would occasionally fail when he led 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to bully little demons. 100,001 people could not defeat one Yang Jian. His record was truly impressive.
This time, Li Jing was only used as a mouthpiece, but he was able to cause such a big mess and offend the saint who he should not have offended.
"Moreover, if a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. His son Nezha and Roaring Sky Dog escaped from the battlefield, so he also bears the unshirkable responsibility!"
"Come here, someone, go to the Heavenly King Palace, escort Li Jing to the Heavenly Prison, and severely interrogate him. Find out if he has any old scores to settle!"
Poor Li Jing was still in a coma. Disaster struck from the sky and he was sent in without knowing what was happening.
This time the Jade Emperor was really angry. In the past, when Li Jing was defeated by the Demon King, or when he was outnumbered by Yang Jian, he was punished by being forced to drink three cups of wine, which were raised high and then put down gently.
But the times are different now. If we have offended Nuwa and ruined the affairs of Heaven, if we do not punish them severely and still protect them, Nuwa will be very angry and how can we borrow the map of the country and the people?
For the sake of the overall situation, Li Jing, this loyal dog, can only make a small sacrifice and stay in the Heavenly Prison for a hundred thousand or eighty thousand years. When the storm has passed, the Jade Emperor will find a reason to grant amnesty to the world and then release him.
Yang Ren walked out of the immortal class again and said, "Your Majesty is wise. This is why I said before that this matter can only be successful if Your Majesty personally comes forward. The goddess Nuwa was neglected by Li Jing and is very angry. If Li Jing cannot be punished and her emotions are not appeased, it will definitely not be possible to borrow the Jiangshan Shejitu. To show respect, you have to go to the Nuwa Palace in person, confess your crime to the goddess, and explain to her that everything was done by Li Jing on his own. Please help her and lend the magic weapon for the sake of the life and death crisis of the mortals."
Wen Rui, who was watching the show on the side, could hardly hold back his laughter. He never expected that by hunting rabbits with straw, and going against Nuwa, he would actually gain unexpected rewards, and he managed to screw Li Jing over.
Wen Rui didn't think much of the Jade Emperor and the gods planning to come to the palace to apologize and ask to borrow the map of the country. What if they couldn't borrow it? What if they did?
They seemed to have forgotten that all the mortals in the Southern Continent were now in Wen Rui's hands. Even if they borrowed the Map of the Country, they had to ask Wen Rui whether he was willing to hand over the mortals.
