Jin Dancheng.

Jiang Hao's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. Even if a monk in the Foundation Establishment stage reaches the peak of Foundation Establishment, he cannot be compared to a strong person in the Golden Core.

It's like a child versus an adult.

The foundation-building monk uses his spiritual power to activate his spells, and when all his spiritual power is consumed, he immediately returns to his original form, while the golden elixir monk can continuously provide spiritual power as long as he uses his golden elixir.

After taking the golden elixir, the body has also been greatly transformed, and cell decay has become extremely slow. This is also the biggest reason for the increase in longevity.

The spiritual power transforms the cells, allowing the body to become extremely light. Jiang Hao can now practice the method of soaring into the clouds, without having to worry about falling down mid-flight.

The reason why Jiang Hao dared to face the powerful Jin Dan before was mainly because his spells were powerful and he was qualified to fight monsters beyond levels.

When he opened the door, he saw many people standing in the hall, including Hu Xinyue, Xue Ji, Eagle King, Bird Immortals, and everyone from the Kaifeng City God's Mansion. They all came to protect him.

Everyone looked at Jiang Hao, and the Eagle King said in surprise: "Lord City God, you have reached the golden elixir realm?!"

"Haha, a lucky break." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

The others immediately smiled.

"Congratulations to Lord Cheng Huang for your breakthrough!"

"Congratulations to Lord Cheng Huang for your success in cultivation and your early arrival in the fairyland!"

Jiang Hao smiled and waved his hand: "I have just entered the golden elixir realm, and it is still early to become an immortal. By the way, how long have I been practicing?"

"Nine days."

Jiang Hao nodded, "It really went by in a flash. I only knew how to continuously condense my spiritual power, and I had no concept of time at all."

Du Juan looked at Jiang Hao and suddenly asked: "Lord City God, why didn't you survive the disaster?"

"Overcoming the tribulation?"

"That's right, the cultivation of monsters and ghosts must withstand the test of thunder and calamity, and you seem to have made a breakthrough just like this." Du Juan said.

Someone looked at the Eagle King, who said, "When I broke through the golden elixir, I experienced six lightning tribulations. I was almost killed by lightning, and I narrowly escaped death. Fortunately, I survived in the end!"

The Eagle King was still frightened when he said this.

Everyone else looked at Jiang Hao and listened to his explanation.

Jiang Hao thought for a while and said: "Every monk has different tribulations, such as wind from the sky, fire from the earth, thunder, and inner demons. I don't have a tribulation. I think it may be because of the merits of the disaster relief in Henan, and the merits are offset.

Karma, without karma, God will naturally not send down catastrophes."

"Also, I am the City God myself. I have become a god and am recognized by God. Naturally, I will not be tested by the heavenly tribulation."

"Any one of the above two conditions can prevent me from suffering from heavenly calamity. If I have both of them, I will naturally not suffer from heavenly calamity."

"Even if you all have gods in your body now, just practice well and do good things in the future. Your strength will continue to improve, and you will not suffer from heavenly calamity. After all, you are all our own."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised after hearing this, and they all felt that joining the City God's team was the most correct choice.

"Thank you, Lord Chenghuang!" The Eagle King, the bird fairies, and the Fuchenghuang all saluted together.

After the congratulations were over, Jiang Hao asked everyone to sit down and asked: "I have been in seclusion for the past few days. How have the disaster relief arrangements in Henan been arranged?"

Xue Ji immediately said: "Everything has been arranged according to your previous instructions."

"After worshiping the City God that day, I announced several disaster relief measures on the spot, organizing disaster relief, building water conservancy projects, carrying out infrastructure construction, allowing the chamber of commerce to purchase grain, and setting up the Hu Family Bank in Henan to lend money to the people."

"When the people heard these measures, they were delighted and kowtowed one after another, thanking the city god and the government for the arrangements. As for the detailed arrangements, please let me know, Madam."

Xue Ji looked at Hu Xinyue with a smile.

Hu Xinyue looked at Jiang Hao and said: "According to Lang Jun's instructions, I asked Zhu Guang and Lizhi to return to Jinhua and send a message to their father Zhihe, asking the Hu family business to start buying grain in large quantities. It is estimated that the grain will be shipped in half a month.

.”

"At the same time, a large amount of gold and silver will be escorted. The merchants from the chamber of commerce and the bankers will follow. They will take the waterway from Jinhua to Hangzhou, take the Grand Canal to the Yellow River, and go directly to Kaifeng."

Jiang Hao nodded and said: "There are many rivers passing by along the way. Many rivers have not yet established river gods. Send a letter to Guiyuan and ask him to protect the fleet all the way. If you encounter other aquatic monsters, take out the city god's edict.

Anyone who is willing to join the City God's system can be accepted later. Anyone who dares to destroy it will immediately notify the local City God to be executed."

"Yeah!" The little fox nodded immediately.

"Is the locust plague still there?" Jiang Hao asked again.

Xue Ji immediately replied: "The locusts have been completely eliminated and the people have been allowed to plow the land. The bird fairies ordered the birds to peck the eggs so that there will be no more locust plagues in the coming year."

“The government has ordered us to replant some crops while it’s still early, harvest whatever we can, even if we just plant some cabbage, and then step up our efforts to replant winter wheat.”

Jiang Hao kept nodding. Xue Ji arranged it well and was a capable minister who understood agriculture.

...

Let's talk about the two people sent by Cheng Shoufu who arrived in Henan soon. Wherever they passed, they saw crop fields gnawed by locusts. However, there were many people digging the ground, and a large number of birds gathered behind them and kept pecking at the soil.

Food.

The two of them went to a county, found out the informants buried there, asked about the situation, and quickly learned about the situation here.

The two went to the Locust Temple and found that it had indeed been converted into the Bird Immortal Temple, and many people came here to offer incense.

After investigating some other situations, the two of them quickly returned to the capital and reported to Cheng Capital about what they had discovered.

Cheng Guoxiang sat in the Grand Master's chair, listened to the two reports with his eyes closed, asked some more details, and then waved them away.

After they left, Cheng Shoufu opened his eyes and murmured: "I'm afraid not many people can do it by themselves. Xue Ji is indeed worthy of being a capable minister and is called the chief minister."

It's a pity that you are so talented, but you are unwilling to rely on the imperial master. This is your biggest mistake, Xue Ji."

As he spoke, he took out a blank memorial from the side. He already had the manuscript in his mind and started writing it quickly. He didn't finish it until the evening. He read it again. Cheng Guoxiang said to himself: "With this memorial, Xue Ji will not be able to escape."

The fate of being arrested and sent to Beijing, as for life or death, haha, actually it doesn't matter anymore."

The next day.

Courtesy in the Forbidden City.

The emperor was sitting on the throne, his eyes looking slightly tired.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If anything happens, leave the court early!"

As the eunuch shouted, Cheng Guoxiang took a step forward. After bowing to the emperor, he slowly took out a memorial from his sleeve. Everyone looked at the chief minister, wondering what the chief minister was going to play today.

But getting the first assistant to take action is definitely a big deal.

"Your Majesty, Cheng Guoxiang, is participating in the performance of Xue Ji, the governor of Henan." The old man said unhurriedly.

The old man's voice echoed softly in the hall, and the Imperial Master glanced at Xue Ji with a warm smile on his face.

"The first assistant participated in playing Xue Ji. I remember there was a locust plague in Henan. Why did you participate in it?" The emperor looked at Cheng Guoxiang and said calmly.

Cheng Guoxiang raised his voice slightly and said: "I will report Xue Ji's five major crimes. One of them is that Xue Ji was so bold that he actually hunted locusts and destroyed the locust temple. How bold he was!"

"Dong Sheng once said that the locust plague was caused by the "response of heaven and man" and was a punishment from God. It is necessary to set up an altar to burn incense and worship, and to practice virtue and defeat, instead of catching locusts. Killing locusts will harm the "natural harmony"."

"Furthermore, the Locust God is a deity and is worshiped in every prefecture and county across the country, in order to protect the Locust God from causing disasters. However, Xue Ji actually ordered the destruction of the Locust God's statue. This move would offend the Locust God and lead to unpredictable disasters.

, next year we will definitely suffer greater revenge, bring greater natural disasters, and put the country in danger. This is Xue Ji’s biggest crime!”

When the officials in the hall heard about this for the first time, many people took a breath. They didn't expect that Xue Ji was so bold.

Just as Cheng Shoufu finished speaking, there were whispers in the hall.

"That Xue Ji is so bold. He just hunts and kills locusts, but he dares to destroy the locust statue!"

"Yes, how can the Locust God just give up and give up?"

"If the whole country encounters a locust plague next year, Xue Ji will be the biggest sinner in the world!"

What a big hat.

Some people in the crowd were secretly frowning and anxious. It was Chen Yan, the second assistant. He and Xue Ji were close friends. They were supported by the officialdom and hoped that the country would be stable. Now that the first assistant was playing for Xue Ji, he became anxious and destroyed the Locust Temple. This matter

It's no small matter.

Cheng Shoufu continued.

"Secondly, Xue Ji built the Bird Immortal Temple. All the destroyed locust temples had their plaques replaced overnight, and some statues of birds they had never heard of were brought in and named the Bird Immortal Temple for worship."

"Xue Ji is a mere governor, how can he dare to establish a new god? Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and you are the only one in the world who is qualified to establish a god. What is Xue Ji's intention in doing this!"

Cheng Shoufu put on another big hat.

"Thirdly, Xue Ji privately ordered the use of the government treasury to provide relief to the victims without reporting it to the court. He also ordered the construction of water conservancy projects and the construction of roads and bridges."

"Fourth, Xue Ji colluded with businessmen and began to purchase grain from other provinces to make profits."

"Fifth, Xue Ji colluded with banks and wanted to borrow money from the people. He might be suspected of making huge profits from it."

Officials have two mouths, and what they say is reasonable. People have two skins, and what they say is reasonable. Everything has two sides. Now that Cheng Shoufu intends to frame Xue Ji, he naturally thinks in the worst direction, and the guilt is very high.

Every word is heartbreaking.

After listening to the concert, the emperor had a bit of anger on his face. Ever since the imperial master came to the court to help the emperor practice, the emperor has firmly believed that there are gods in the world. Now that Xue Ji has offended the gods, this matter is very serious.

Just when the emperor was about to speak, Chen Yan, the second assistant behind Cheng Shoufu, took a step forward, bowed to the emperor first, and then asked Cheng Shoufu: "Excuse me, first assistant, how is the locust plague control in Henan now?"

Cheng Shoufu paused for a moment. He couldn't lie about this matter. He turned to look at Chen Yan and said, "I heard that the locust plague has basically been put down. Only the relief work remains."

When Chen Yan, the second assistant, heard this, he immediately said: "That means Xue Ji's method worked."

Cheng Shoufu snorted coldly, "We are not talking about the locust plague now. Xue Ji did things regardless of the consequences, violated the saint's instructions to catch and kill locusts, destroyed the statues and offended the gods. If there is a big disaster in the future, who will bear the consequences?"

"But he also wanted to provide disaster relief." Chen Yan frowned.

"Disaster relief must also pay attention to methods. Xue Ji's method is not to relieve disasters, but to plant greater disasters." Cheng Shoufu said solemnly.

The emperor saw the two chief ministers quarreling, and felt impatient in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "You two, stop arguing. I will go to Henan immediately with the Ministry of Punishment and Jin Yiwei to seize Xue Ji and bring him to Beijing for trial."
