The soft light shone on the majestic palace, and groups of heavenly soldiers marched past in a procession, and the flags were flying.

A petal falls, rippling. A few koi fish swim slowly in the crystal clear fish pond.

In the imperial study, an immortal family presented a piece of music with both hands. Li Jing stretched out his hand to take it and forwarded it to the dragon case. The Jade Emperor took the fold in his hand, flipped it over casually, and frowned slightly.

Li Jing on the side bowed slightly and looked at the Jade Emperor quietly.

Flipping through the folds in his hand, the Jade Emperor said casually: "That pure heart, is it really unbearable?"

"I think it's better not to do it. Even if you want to put her in charge of the monkey-related affairs again, it would be better to investigate all the things related to her first. After all...... Her appearance today is really bizarre, if it spreads, I am afraid that she will become a laughing stock in the Three Realms. ”

"Even if it becomes a laughing stock, it will not be Heavenly Court who laughs. What is a mere envoy? She is first and foremost a disciple of Lao Jun and Patriarch Su Bodhi. Maybe there's a lot we don't know. With her here, there is a benefit, even if the demon monkey doesn't buy it, there are Lao Jun and Su Bodhi Patriarch behind her back. Just like today, she dared to make a direct agreement with the monkey head, indicating that even if she didn't understand Guò, she was sure to fulfill her promise. Such a courtier is rare, rare. ”

"That's what Your Majesty said. Li Jing bowed slightly.

After a while, the Jade Emperor raised his head slightly, and his eyes narrowed into a slit. Holding his long beard, he folded the fold and stretched out his hand to Li Jing.

Li Jing hurriedly took it with both hands, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, if you say so." Those grains. It's time for the Black Chicken Country?"

"It's time to be. The Jade Emperor nodded slightly. Looking at the immortal family who sent the fold, he said: "It has been a little time since the turmoil in this black chicken country, have you ever visited, can there be an external force involved?"

"What does 陛xià mean?"

"Celestial gods, monsters, Taoists, Buddhism. ”

The immortal family bowed and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, none of my Heavenly Court departments have intervened. As for the monsters, the country of the black chicken is not in the sphere of influence of the demon army. On normal days, every half month. The Heavenly Survey Mansion sent people to inspect for a week, but did not receive any records of the activities of Buddhist disciples and Taoist direct relatives in this place. This turmoil arose naturally due to the king's decree. ”

The Jade Emperor pursed his lips and thought about it carefully, and said: "The rations for two million people are really more, but it is not unobtainable, but it is just that the labor force has moved the crowd, and it is not very good-looking." However, since it is a natural upheaval. It stands to reason that Heaven should not intervene. Natural disasters are forgivable, but they are man-made disasters. There should be a result to warn the world. It is really inappropriate to interfere in this way. A few peaches and a weapon before, in the final analysis, were just a matter of face, and it was not a big deal. As soon as this food is given, it spreads far and wide. ”

With that, the Jade Emperor let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and sat back on the dragon chair.

The finger was placed on the side of the dragon case and flapped rhythmically, as if it was looking for something.

After a while, Li Jing bowed down and arched his hand: "What does His Majesty mean...... Refuse the monkey's request?"

The Jade Emperor waved his hand, half-squinted his eyes and said, "He personally came to the Nantian Gate, if he refuses, then the demon monkey will not be willing to give up." Isn't that what I've been afraid of?"

"That majesty xià means ......"

The two people in the imperial study both opened their eyes slightly and looked at the Jade Emperor.

After a slight hesitation, the Jade Emperor stretched out a finger and said, "Take a compromise plan." You can give food, but you can't give it at will. ”

Li Jing frowned slightly and looked at the Jade Emperor, as if he didn't understand.

Seeing this, the Jade Emperor coughed dryly and said, "The rations of these two million people must have been falsely reported." Even in its heyday, the country of Wuji may not have a population of 2 million, not to mention that it has been in turmoil for five years now? Not to mention those who died of starvation and war, and how many people fled the famine. If he really gave food rations to two million people according to the meaning of the demon monkey, then it would not be to help the Wuji country tide over the difficulties, but it was very likely that a large empire would rise out of thin air on the Nanzhan Continent, endangering neighboring countries and disturbing the mortal world. Therefore, even if the difficulty of obtaining food is aside, it cannot be given in any case. ”

After a slight pause, the Jade Emperor continued: "Taking a step back, the food falling from the sky is not in line with my heavenly court's way of governing the world, and in the long run, it will become a disaster." The country of black chickens is famine, and the heavenly court gives food, and other places are famine...... If not, who will worship heaven and earth in the future?"

"So, take a compromise plan, you can give food, but you don't give more, and you ...... He who does not work shall not eat. The country is located in the plains, the land is fertile, and there are many lakes, rivers, and woodlands. But first ordered Fuxing to change the fortune of the people of the Wuji country, and then put some fish in the rivers and lakes, put some livestock in the green forest, and then promise a good year, so that everything grows, and the ration problem of the people of the Wuji country is almost solved. ”

Speaking of this, the Jade Emperor gently slapped his hand on the dragon case and said, "What does Aiqing think?"

Li Jing was slightly stunned, and sighed: "Your Majesty is wise." If this is really done, first, the heavenly court will not lose its dignity, and second, it will not violate the original way of governing the world and leave a handle. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that the demon monkey is still outside the Nantian Gate, I don't know if I will agree......"

"Isn't there still a pure heart?" the Jade Emperor said softly.

"Qingxin?" Li Jing suddenly showed embarrassment, and said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty also knows that she just ......"

"Give it a try, just now, it's now. The Jade Emperor stroked his long beard and said: "Tell her about the matter, it's really not okay, and then there will be another way." After all, she is a disciple of Lao Jun and Su Bodhi Patriarch, since she has already entered the immortal register, and then withdraws, it is not so reasonable. ”

"No!" Li Jing bowed slightly and withdrew from the door.

......

At this time, one day in heaven and one year on earth, although the monkey went to heaven for only a while, in the mortal world, he had already spent half a month.

Early the next morning after the monkey left, the curtain said goodbye to Xuanzang and his party and returned to the royal capital to continue to do those firefighting things. Undoubtedly, it is still a mess.

At this moment, for him, the food promised by the monkey is already the last straw.

After saying goodbye to the roller blinds, Xuanzang packed up and marched with others in the direction of the royal capital.

Originally, Xuanzang thought that it would be better to be close to the royal capital, however, he was wrong. It is true that the empty village like the one before did not reappear, but the closer it was to the royal capital, the more people there were, and the worse the situation became. They even saw scenes of cannibalism, and the tragic situation is not an exaggeration to describe it as hell on earth.

Years of turmoil have already caused damage to the country in every corner.

Xuanzang preached all the way, subdued the victims, redistributed the only food, and told them to take them to the royal capital to get food.

Clearly, this promise is more effective than anything else.

With the support of the original residents of the town, Xuanzang's persuasiveness increased sharply. In just half a month, when he walked to the royal capital, there were as many as 10,000 victims who followed Xuanzang.

Displaced peasants, destitute merchants, and even some of the rebels who had laid down their arms followed, and the only thing they had in common was that they had no food to eat, no clothing, and they had reached the point of feeding their hunger with leaves.

On the day of entering the city, the roller shutter brought hundreds of civil and military officials to pick it up in person, and the scene was huge.

For a moment, both the outsiders and the residents of the original royal capital seemed to believe that the days of turmoil were coming to an end. However, since the monkey's food had not yet arrived, the roller blinds did another stupid thing. He squeezed out a part of the already very tight military rations and distributed them to the victims, which was a kind of comfort. It's okay if this grain is not distributed, and if it is sent, it will really be out of control.

The news soon spread wildly, and the displaced people from all over the country began to flock to Wangdu, and in just a few days, the entire streets and alleys of Wangdu were already crowded with victims, and the grain in the treasury of Wuji Country was already stretched, and it was impossible to feed their stomachs.

The people take food as the sky, and the first victims have been given food, but the latter victims have not been distributed, so where are they willing?

For a time, the whole king was in chaos. The hungry victims began to cause trouble, and even some of the victims, who were originally rebels, took up arms again and began to snatch the only food from the other victims.

In desperation, the troops under the shutter had no choice but to intervene to maintain order. In this way, there was another conflict, and the blood of the royal capital was like a river, and thousands of people died.

This trouble, even the only troops who originally supported the rolling shutter were full of complaints.

In the face of this mess, the scalp of the roller blinds is about to be scratched, but there is no way at all, so he can only rely on his original prestige to barely maintain the situation, and at the same time pray that the monkey can find food as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible.

In this regard, Xuanzang could only run around and try to appease the victims.

At the same time, the monkey was still waiting quietly outside the Nantian Gate, completely unaware that the situation in the Black Chicken Country had deteriorated to such an extent. After all, whether it is the roller shutter or Xuanzang, or even the canopy, they all know that the rations of the Black Chicken Country are no better than a few peaches, and they are not something that Heaven can take out casually.

......

In the courtyard of Tushi Palace, Qingxin and Qi'er sat quietly opposite each other, and Li Jing stood opposite the stone table with the hilt of his sword, but did not sit down.

Qingxin blinked, looked down at the empty desktop and said, "Why do you want me to go? You have seen it all...... I can't do it. ”

Li Jing said softly: "That monkey has a perverse personality...... After all, you are his junior sister, even if you really provoke him, at least you won't move the stick casually. Besides, if this matter were mentioned by someone else, he would definitely not agree. And if you go, at least there is some hope. Therefore, the meaning of majesty xià is that the appointment of the imperial envoy is still the same. (To be continued......)
