538, Li Shimin Becomes a God

But the current King of Wei is not worth his huge investment. Google search reading can help with some strategies, but there is no need to personally participate or get too involved.

In short, he will bet on the King of Wei, but he will never bet too much.

At this moment, "stabilizing" Wu Wei is to avoid the intervention of Buddhist forces, which will lead to another node in the issue of establishing a crown prince. If Wu Wei is not stabilized, he will fall into a dilemma, whether to increase the stakes or abandon the King of Wei...

However, he did not deceive Wu Wei, and had let Wu Wei make his own choice in advance. If Wu Wei does not intend to surrender to the King of Jin, the matter can continue to be discussed.

And Bai Gui did not let the King of Wei Li Tai marry Wu Wei before, and today he asked Wu Wei to surrender to the King of Wei. It was not a change of orders. It was that when the King of Wei Li Tai asked him about his marriage with Wu Wei in the 14th year of Zhenguan. Now it is the 27th year of Zhenguan, 13 years have passed, and the situation has changed.

The decision made thirteen years ago cannot be changed at this critical moment.

In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, if Wei Wang Li Tai forced Wu Wei, a potential dragon, to marry him, who knows whether he would suddenly die or encounter some major changes. Now in the twenty-seventh year of Zhenguan, at the critical moment of the prince's fight for the throne, Wu Wei represents the power of Buddhism and is a great help, which is different from the past.

"I am waiting for the good news from Taoist Master Bai and His Royal Highness Wei Wang."

Wu Wei glanced at Bai Gui, bowed forward, and said seriously.

The two exchanged a bow and ended the topic.

The barrier opened and Tang Seng entered.

"I have persuaded Madam Wu to return to the secular world after the twenty-third day. After the situation is determined, we will see."

Bai Gui said.

Tang Seng has no objection, he knows what Bai Gui means. Tang Wang Li Shimin only has twenty-three days left to live. These twenty-three days are the last moment of the competition for the throne. It is reasonable to talk about who wins. If you worry about other things now, you will lose more than you gain.

…

After leaving Linggan Temple, Bai Gui returned to Bai's house.

He closed the door and refused to see visitors.

Sometimes, it is better to keep silent than to speak.

Three days later, in the morning court, Li Shimin sent eunuchs to invite him to attend the court meeting. This court meeting was a commendation meeting to reward Tang Seng and his party. Bai Gui declined and did not go. However, in the evening, he went to the Heavenly Palace to borrow some fairy banquets to celebrate Tang Seng and others.

After receiving the reward, Tang Seng and his party were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they stayed in Linggan Temple and continued to translate hundreds of Buddhist scriptures obtained from the journey to the West.

Fifteen days later.

Li Shimin was dying, and his life was like a candle. He finally decided on the choice of the crown prince. He did not choose the kind-hearted Jin Wang Li Zhi, but appointed Wei Wang Li Tai as the crown prince. According to Bai Gui's guess, this move was inseparable from his reasons. A large part of it was probably because Wei Wang Li Tai received his instructions and reported to the emperor that he would not harm other princes in the future.

Twenty-three days later.

Li Shimin died at midnight. On that day, the Purple Star moved.

Above the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin, who had just died on his sickbed, felt that his soul was floating in the air and separated from his body. A starlight from the Purple Star fell down, protecting his weak soul. He looked at Empress Changsun, who was crying on the sickbed, with reluctance, and followed the direction of the starlight and left the palace.

But before he had gone far, a Taoist in a blue robe came over.

"I have seen your majesty."

"Although your majesty passed away today, it is also the time for you to ascend to the immortal throne, which is a cause for celebration. Your majesty has saved the people of the East from suffering... Today, I am following the order of the Great Heavenly Venerable to take your majesty to the sky and go to the Ziwei Palace to be an assistant."

Bai Gui held the whisk in his arms and laughed.

Twenty-three days ago, Li Shimin asked him how long he would live. He used divination to calculate the astronomical phenomena of the Ziwei Star and got the remaining life of Li Shimin. Later, after a few days. The Jade Emperor issued an order to let him personally take Li Shimin to the sky and go to the Ziwei Palace to serve as an official with the Ziwei Emperor.

This is the benefit of Jian in the emperor's heart.

He helped the Seven Fairies and solved a problem that the Jade Emperor was worried about. At the same time, he captured the Yinxie King and prevented the Yinxie King from harming the world. One by one, one by one, it was enough to impress the Jade Emperor with him. Of course, if it weren't for his deep background, such a good thing would hardly happen to him.

Background is also one of the helpers.

Leading Li Shimin to the Ziwei Palace in the Heavenly Palace can also be considered a merit. And it is a good thing that benefits you without spending any money. You only need to run an errand once.

"Assistant?"

"Assistant of the Emperor Ziwei?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Even though he knew that after his death, he should be treated well for his achievements in his lifetime. But who dares to be sure that it must be true without dying once? Besides, he killed his relatives, which is also a crime. When his soul wandered in the netherworld last time, he was also accused by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Now that he can become an assistant of the Emperor Ziwei, it can be said that he has ascended to heaven in one step. He still knows the status of the Emperor Ziwei.

"Your Majesty has the destiny of Ziwei, and has great merits in the world. It is reasonable for you to become an assistant of the Emperor Ziwei. Your Majesty does not need to be surprised."

Bai Gui explained.

At first, he thought that Li Shimin was the reincarnation of the Emperor Ziwei. This is not impossible. Even if the Emperor Ziwei in the Ziwei Palace is still there, spells like "One Breath Transformed into Three Pure Ones" are not uncommon. It is not incredible to invest a trace of soul and reincarnate as an emperor.

It was not until he received the order from the Heavenly Court to take Li Shimin to the Ziwei Palace as an assistant that he realized that Li Shimin was at most an emperor favored by Ziwei, not the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei.

In fact, it is understandable if you think about it.

If Li Shimin is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei, then wouldn't all the wise rulers of the previous dynasties be the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei?

It is impossible to have such a precise reincarnation.

The fate of humanity is the most difficult to manipulate.

For example, in other worlds, there is only the 21st year of Zhenguan, but in the Journey to the West world, there is the 27th year of Zhenguan. The changes of humanity in different worlds are also different.

"Now that I am dead, I am no longer the emperor of humanity, Bai Qing, you don't have to be so polite."

"Just call me... I am the King of Tang."

Li Shimin heard Bai Gui calling him "Your Majesty", which was a bit inappropriate, and hurriedly corrected Bai Gui's way of addressing him. He was just an assistant of Emperor Ziwei, a god, and not a first-class celestial being. Bai Gui's respectful address to him made him feel uncomfortable.

After the Yin spirit left his body, he was favored by Ziwei Tianming, and he gradually understood some secrets of the heavenly court.

For example, the difference between gods and immortals...

It's not that gods are necessarily inferior to immortals, but in most cases, gods are not as good as immortals, even if their official positions are several grades higher. What's more, he also vaguely knew that Bai Gui's status and position among the immortals were not ordinary.

"King Tang."

Bai Gui nodded and called out.

He didn't care whether he was your majesty or not. In the Qianyuan world, he was also an emperor. After his indifferent state of mind, it was just a respectful address. It's no big deal.

"King Tang, it's still two or three hours before dawn. I have an old relationship with King Tang. King Tang can stay in the palace and say goodbye to relatives and friends for a while. It's not too late to leave before dawn."

Bai Gui talked about another thing.

It stands to reason that after death, people cannot stay near living people for a long time. But this is not a certain thing, it is related. For example, the Dragon King of Jinghe River, after the ghost messenger got the benefits from the Dragon Queen of Jinghe River, let the Dragon King of Jinghe River return to the Dragon Palace of Jinghe River to explain the afterlife.

It doesn't mean that everything is equal after death.

The Dragon King of Jinghe River went to the underworld, although he was tortured by the eighteen hells. But after the torture, because he was a real dragon, he could be reborn in a good way no matter how bad he was in the future. Even if he didn't want to be reborn, he was a ghost king in the City of Wrongful Death, and it was difficult for some small ghost messengers to provoke him.

Li Shimin was the same.

From now on, he will be an assistant official of the Emperor Ziwei, with a noble status. Even if it was not Bai Gui who was here to guide him, but other immortals, they would give Li Shimin a face and let him stay in the mortal world for a while.

"Thank you Bai..., Bai patrol."

Li Shimin nodded.

He quickly recognized his identity at the moment. When he was in the mortal world, he could still shamelessly call Bai Gui Bai Qing, but after arriving in heaven, he was just an ordinary little god. Although he had a noble position, he could not be arrogant in front of Bai Gui.

Bai Gui pondered for a moment, and the falling treasure whisk fell on Li Shimin's ghost. A stream of good fortune and magic power fell on Li Shimin's ghost, making Li Shimin seem to have a physical body for a while.

"Thank you, Inspector Bai."

Li Shimin's face suddenly became much happier.

If he was a ghost again, he and Empress Changsun could not see or touch him, and what was the point of going to see Empress Changsun sad again. But now that he has a physical body, it will be different if he goes again.

After thanking him, Li Shimin's ghost floated into the palace again.

Then..., the palace maids were dismissed.

Only Empress Changsun was left.

"Does the King of Tang have anything else to say?"

"The succession should not change. King Jin Li Zhi has no immortals and gods behind him, and King Wei Li Tai has my support. Li Shimin will not be unwise..."

Bai Gui thought to himself.

After just a moment, his face changed slightly, and he immediately cast a barrier towards the palace.

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Shimin walked out of the palace refreshed.

"King of Tang..."

Bai Gui looked gloomy.

He never expected that after Li Shimin regained his body, he would do that in the palace.

Through his own corpse...

"That's right, King Tang is a god this time, not really dead. The so-called corpse is just a flesh fetus of his. It's not a real death."

Bai Gui shook his head.

"Inspector Bai, I wonder if Guanyin Bi will become a god after her death?"

Li Shimin asked, standing on the auspicious cloud driven by Bai Gui.

After he became a god, he also wanted his queen to become a god. Otherwise, it would be boring if he was the only one enjoying this great freedom.

As for Li Zhi's descendants, he didn't care much.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

"The queen is a wise queen throughout the ages. The achievements made by the Tang king have been greatly helped by the queen. The Tang king can rest assured that after a hundred years, the queen will be recruited by Yaochi to become a female fairy."

Bai Gui considered the words and replied.

Empress Changsun was a wise queen and had made many merits. The merits of nobles are much better than those of ordinary people. Ordinary people can only avoid killing, but nobles can build roads and bridges, donate rice and so on. Empress Changsun has always been frugal and kind. Li Shimin's wise government is inseparable from the help of Empress Changsun.

Therefore, according to her merits, Empress Changsun can also ascend to heaven and become a meritorious immortal.

"That's good."

Li Shimin patted his chest and put his worries aside.

Bai Gui shook his head and didn't tell Li Shimin another word.

After Empress Changsun passed away, she became an immortal. There would be no future for the two of them. Unless Li Shimin or Empress Changsun made other merits, they could get the Queen Mother's permission to tie the red thread again.

Otherwise, the heavenly rules of the heavenly court had been exploited by countless people. Before he died, he found a wife and let her become an immortal, living together... Wouldn't it disrupt the order of the world?

Bai Gui rode the auspicious cloud to the Ziwei Palace in the heavenly court.

"I'll take my leave."

"The people of Ziwei Palace will help you with the next journey."

He took his leave and left on his own.

If he stayed in the heavenly court for too long, it would be difficult to plan things in the mortal world. He sent Li Shimin to Ziwei Palace, which was considered to be the completion of his mission.

"Bai Lang, why have you been in the earthly immortal world all the time, and never come to Guanghan Palace to find me."

Outside the South Heaven Gate, Chang'e saw Bai Gui coming out and asked.

The two of them tied the red thread matched by Yue Lao, and once Bai Gui went to the heaven, they could sense it faintly.

Of course, the reason why Chang'e was waiting here was because Bai Gui asked the fourth princess Lu'er to return the Jade Rabbit. Chang'e only then knew that Bai Gui went to heaven.

Bai Gui comforted Chang'e for a few words, and then he went down to the world.

It is inevitable that there are many beauties.

After going down to the world. Because this time it was not the Yang God ascending to the sky, and in order to protect Li Shimin's Yin spirit, the speed of going to the heaven was more than twice slower than coming with Sun Wukong. When Bai Gui came to Chang'an again, two days had passed.

Because Li Shimin had already prepared for his funeral.

So after his death, all matters in the court were still running in an orderly manner.

"Master Bai, Princess Gaoyang, Master Bianji, and Fang Yiai have been waiting in the living room for a long time to see you."

As soon as Bai Gui arrived at Bai's house, he was told about this by the servants.

"Princess Gaoyang?"

"Monk Bianji?"

"Fang Yiai?"

Bai Gui was not surprised if any of the three came, but it was amazing that all three came together.

"Prime Minister Fang is such a person, how could he have such a son?"

He sighed.

Fang Xuanling was a famous prime minister, but in fact, his spirit ascended to the star palace of Zuobi Star and became a small god. To be honest, Princess Gaoyang and Monk Bianji were nothing.

"Let the three of them come to see me."

The three had arrived, and he also wanted to know why the three wanted to see him.

But he guessed that the reason for the visit was nothing more than fame and fortune.

"I, Gaoyang, meet Mr. Liu."

Princess Gaoyang, dressed in palace clothes, entered the room and saw Bai Gui. Her almond eyes flashed with surprise, and then her beautiful face was covered with blush. After she bowed, she stood beside Bai Gui and did not dare to sit down.
