Chapter 88: That’s the end

The Spirit Emperor glanced at Fang Shiyao in disgust and waved his hand. Huang Zhen quickly said to Fang Shiyao: "Go down."

Fang Shiyao didn't know whether he was talking to him or kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

From the priest said, "Fang Shiyao, assassinating the emperor from the sea has nothing to do with you, you go down."

"Yes, yes..." Fang Shiyao agreed repeatedly and stepped out on his knees.

The Spirit Emperor looked at the priest and asked, "I am the only one who is left?"

From the priest replied, "Don't speak angry words, you are not such a person."

The Emperor of Spirit sighed and said, "I have made a mistake, my dear, don't mind."

From the priest said, "Emperor, the tree has been completed. Please calm down your anger and forgive the high priest, and order him to regain the Soul Control Division."

The Spirit Emperor was silent for a moment and said, "Zhong Qi stayed, everyone else went out."

Everyone retreated, and the Spirit Emperor sat down and silent for a while before saying, "Xu Zhao was also responsible for being in such a state of trouble. If I asked him to take charge of the Soul Control Department again, how could I explain to all officials?"

From the priest said, "I came to tell you that I was responsible for reviewing Jin Lan at the beginning. I was not able to see that her wolfish ambitions were poisoned, which caused the beast spirit master who was rare in a century to be poisoned. I also tempted Gu Du and Li Xia to treason for the country and surrender to the enemy. All things started because of my ignorance of the ignorance of the person. I took it with all my strength and asked the emperor to sue him. Even if I die, I will not complain."

The Spirit Emperor looked at him steadily, and after a while, he stood up and walked up to him, pulled him up, and said, "I know I am wrong, I don't need to let you take responsibility for me."

The priest lowered his head and said, "The emperor is right. There is a severe drought in the sky. The former emperor died and the enemy country is invading. At this time of chaos, the emperor was ordered to be in danger and worshipped day and night, and he is inevitably anxious."

"But the emperor has no mistakes. It was also out of good intentions to summon Jin Lan back to the palace. Xiao Qiang's disaster was not the emperor's fault. Jin Lan took poison to kill his son, nor was it the emperor's command. Gu Du and Li Xia defected, nor was it the emperor's threat."

"As the saying goes, those who are pure will be clear. If they are open-minded, why should they do this? What's more, those who are loyal are not afraid of death, and those who are wise and wise will not be sad. If they are truly loyal and virtuous, how could they have been so entangled with the emperor in unkindness and justice?"

The Spirit Emperor looked at him, took out the Jade Dragon Bi for a while, and handed it to him.

The priest was startled and knelt down and said, "I must not take it. Please take the emperor back. The high priest has made great contributions to the country and has extraordinary virtues. I must not dare to overthrow it."

The Spirit Emperor said, "He is old, and he should abdicate and give way to his virtuous people and enjoy his old age."

From the priest replied, "Even so, there is the Lord's priest."

Emperor Ling said: "Qi Shiquan is a dark and weak person. He is the blessing of being a good priest."

From the priest, "Please think twice."

The Spirit Emperor asked, "What? You don't want to serve me anymore?"

The priest quickly replied: "I dare not, I am willing to be fooled by the emperor!"

The Spirit Emperor handed him the Jade Dragon Bi and asked, "Who is qualified to be a priest?"

Zhong Qi replied: "It's Chu Qin."

The Spirit Emperor nodded and asked again: "How do you deal with Dongfang Xuan's soul?"

Zhong Qi replied: "Dongfangxuan has no intention of treason, but he is too pedantic. I want to keep him to serve Xu Zhao."

The Spirit Emperor nodded again, glanced at the body of Conghai, and asked, "Here?"

Zhong Qi replied: "Conghai is just a fool. You can just be in power and serve the country."

The Spirit Emperor said, "Go, I will issue an edict immediately to promote you to high priest and Chu Qin to subordinate priest."

Zhong Qi replied: "Thank you for your kindness, I will leave."

The imperial edict arrived at Chu Qin's residence. Chu Qin received the edict, thanked her for her, and returned to the room with a gloomy face.

Shangguan He asked softly: "Has the high priest been deposed?"

Chu Qin nodded and replied, "It should be, otherwise how could I be promoted from the priest."

Shangguan He asked softly again: "Is it a promotion to the top?"

Chu Qin replied, "I don't know yet."

Shangguan He frowned and said, "Then you go and ask, since something happened, you have not left the house. What are you thinking?"

Chu Qin replied softly: "What do you think I want? Gu Du, Jin Lan, Li Xia, including Chu Shuting, which one has nothing to do with me. The matter is so big. Where do you want me to go? Go around and cause trouble for yourself?"

Shangguan He whispered: "I don't mean that, you have to inquire about it, what's going on?"

Chu Qin said softly: "No need to inquire. The imperial edict has been issued. I am from the priest. This is the case. The high priest was dismissed after receiving all his guilt and was dismissed. This ends with this matter."

Shangguan He asked in surprise: "So far? Yaya and Jin Lan died in vain? Don't you find a way to get Gu Du and Lixia back?"

Chu Qin turned her face to look at her, her eyes turned unhappy, and Shangguan He said angrily: "What's wrong? What did I say wrong again?"

Chu Qin replied, "You can take care of the children in peace."

The former high priest Xu Zhao left the palace and was placed in a house in the inner city. The palace guards were on duty day and night, and the name was Anyang, but actually under house arrest.

Zhong Qi personally sent Dongfang Xuan's soul. Xu Zhao sighed and stroked the little soul box and said, "High Priest, you have taken on important tasks for the first time, why should you do this?"

Zhong Qi replied: "Sir, the emperor is not unsaint, but he is just as he is the first to ascend the throne, and he is inevitably confused. Dongfang Xuan's innocent heart is obvious to the sun and the moon. He is neither traitorous nor disobeying the enemy, nor is he disobeying the emperor. He is just a warning to death, which makes the emperor awaken. Before Dongfang Xuan committed suicide, he shouted to the sky, wishing to follow the former emperor in the nine springs, which shows that he is still looking for the Ling Kingdom."

Xu Zhao burst into tears and said sadly: "What are you sending him here? Since he still has the intention to serve the country, why not put him in the soul army? Can I still practice Soul Service at my age?"

Zhong Qi replied: "You have no children. For many years, only Dongfang Xuan has been around. Although you cannot practice the Soul Service, you can comfort the lonely when you see him."

Xu Zhao sighed and said, "Thank you."

Zhong Qi said: "Sir, I will give you a break for a while and wait until the times change. I will make a promise to the emperor."

"No, absolutely not!" Xu Zhao sighed: "I am ashamed of Dongfang Xuan, Gu Du, Jin Lan and Li Xia, and even more ashamed of the late emperor and Lingguo. Being able to live here but endure life is already favored by God. You must not advise me again, which will cause the emperor to be displeased."

Zhong Qi sighed, raised his hand to salute, and asked, "Sir, have something to teach me."

Xu Zhao shook his head and said, "You are not in his position and do not plan your politics. You have always been fair and know how to advance and retreat. I have nothing to do to teach you, and I can only tell you one word. Please ask the high priest to consider it."

Zhong Qi replied: "Sir, please speak, but if you have the order, you will follow it."

Xu Zhao said: "The world's conquests only focus on winning or losing, not on right or wrong. The country is the basis and the people are the most important."

Zhong Qi replied: "Yes, I have recorded it."
