Great Sui God of War, great strength at the beginning!

Chapter 312 Tianwu Pavilion 36 ministers

After Wang Chen spent a few days with his four mothers-in-law and aunts, and played with his little dolls a few times, the envoys from various countries came to Luoyang City one after another.

Although the day of having fun with the people has been scheduled from the fifteenth to the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, many envoys from affiliated countries have arrived in Luoyang City half a month earlier.

Luoyang City has now become the number one city in the world, which naturally attracted many outsiders, and many envoys also wanted to come to admire the magnificence of Luoyang City for the first time.

Countless common people chanted Your Majesty's sages after knowing the matter of having fun with the people!
This is to let the people of the world have a good rest for three days, and there is still money to take. Anyone will be happy with it.

Within the Great Wu Empire, more and more Buddhist temples were demolished by the people themselves, and new temples were built. Those who enshrined were Wang Chen, or meritorious ministers of the Great Wu Empire, such as Xue Rengui, Yuwen Chengdu, Yang Gongren, and Zhang Jiuling. They also enjoyed more human offerings, and gained more human luck and faith.

As for Taoist temples, because Wang Chen took the initiative to worship Taoism and believed in Taoism, this also made Taoism develop to a certain extent in the Great Wu Empire.

"Your Majesty, I think we can build a Tianwu Pavilion to enshrine the meritorious ministers of our Great Wu Empire, and in this way, we can better promote the reputation of our famous ministers and generals in Dawu, so as to stabilize our Dawu Jiangshan and bring more luck and greater faith to our Dawu Jiangshan."

In the Xuanzheng Hall, Master Ziyang and Wang Chen sat facing each other, with a huge chessboard between them. The two were discussing the summoning of ministers from various countries at this moment, and Master Ziyang suddenly mentioned building the Tianwu Pavilion.

The Tianwu Pavilion reminded Wang Chen of the Lingyan Pavilion established in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there were 24 great heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty.

The 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion enjoyed the highest glory of the Tang Empire, and many of them were the reincarnations of immortal gods, not immortal gods. They all became immortals because they were worshiped by the people, and became the direct subordinates of Emperor Ziwei after returning to the heavenly court.

Wang Chen nodded, this Tianwu Pavilion, Wang Chen originally wanted to get it out very early, but it has been delayed because of the matter of immortals and gods.

"I also have this plan for a long time, to build the Tianwu Pavilion, which will not only inspire me to be a great warrior, but also promote my national prestige!"

Wang Chen smiled and nodded, then picked up a sunspot and placed it on the chessboard.

Master Ziyang also continued to say:

"Well, Your Majesty is right, so now we only need to determine the number of people in Tianwu Pavilion, and determine which people to enter, as well as their rankings."

Ziyang Zhenren's words are very reasonable. It is not difficult to build a Tianwu Pavilion, but it is a bit difficult to enter who and how to rank them.

After all, they are all extremely capable people, and no one feels that they have to be subordinated to others. If the order is not good, it will inevitably make some of them feel chilled or unfair.

"Then let's determine the number of people first. Come to think of it, the national teacher mentioned this matter to me today, so he must have an idea." Wang Chen said with a smile.

"Hehe, don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, I do have an idea."

Master Ziyang stood up and bowed.

"National teacher, there is no need to be like this. Sit down and tell me what you think in your heart."

Wang Chen spread his hands with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, in terms of generals, I think that Xue Rengui, Luo Cheng, Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Yuanqing, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, He Meng, Xin Wenli, and Zhang Wen are definitely going to join the ranks. As for Su Dingfang, Hou Junjie, Shan Xiongxin and others, they have joined Dawu for less than two years, but they have also contributed to the expansion of Dawu. The contribution is not small, which is still open to question."

"Well, yes, it's similar to what I thought, so what about civil servants?"

Wang Chen also agrees with this proposal. The rest of the generals either have not enough time to follow him or lack of ability. To be honest, He Meng was able to join because He Meng has been with Wang Chen for the longest time and has always been loyal to Wang Chen. Otherwise, in the current Great Wu Empire, he would have no chance to join.

"Your Majesty, regarding civil servants, Zhang Jiuling, Yang Gongren, Wei Zheng, Xu Maogong, Cao Yu, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Yu Shinan and others, I think there is no problem."

Xiao Yu, this person has no sense of existence, but this person was sent by Yang Guang to Zhenbei City from the very beginning, defending and developing Zhenbei City for Wang Chen, and also helped Wang Chen resist the Turkic army several times, so he really should enter Tianwu Pavilion.

As for Yu Shinan, he is a celebrity in the world, and even Yu Shiji's younger brother. He followed Wang Chen a long time ago, but he has been helping Wang Chen deal with foreign affairs, and also helping Xu Maogong deal with the affairs of the world school, and his sense of presence is extremely low.

"Of course, there are also Sun Simiao and Lu Bing, who should also be selected."

Wang Chen continued to nod his head, the person he chose was indeed similar to what he thought, and it fit him very well.

"Even if Shan Xiongxin, Su Dingfang and others are counted, there are 24 people in total, almost just right, but there are still many old officials in the court, who have followed me for a long time, and their abilities are not bad. This..."

Wang Chen saw that the overall situation on the chessboard had been decided, so he also removed the chessboard.

"It all depends on how His Majesty arranges it. Moreover, His Majesty doesn't necessarily have to make a Tianwu Pavilion, there are still many maneuvers."

Master Ziyang continued to speak with a smile.

Master Ziyang's words made Wang Chen enlightened, and indeed, he could choose people according to the way of that martial arts temple.

"Well, then I probably have a bottom line in my heart. After seven days, I will let the Tianwu Pavilion appear in the world."

Wang Chen stood up with his hands behind his back.

As for why he didn't choose Master Ziyang, it was because Master Ziyang's realm had already surpassed this limit, and Master Ziyang was already a Taoist master, and he didn't care about the name of worldly things.

"By the way, National Teacher, did you hide that idiot Li Yuanba?"

When Master Ziyang was about to leave, Wang Chen suddenly shouted, although it was a question, but Wang Chen's tone was full of affirmation.

Master Ziyang smiled dumbly, and then punched Wang Chen.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from His Majesty. That silly boy was indeed hidden by the minister. The boy's status is extraordinary. If the minister doesn't use some means, the heaven or Buddhism will chase him back immediately."

"Yuanba, he should be the reincarnation of the legendary golden-winged roc."

Wang Chen continued to ask.

Master Ziyang was taken aback for a moment, and then returned to smiling.

"Your Majesty, that boy Yuanba is indeed the reincarnation of the Golden-winged Roc, so I have used various methods to suppress his animal nature."

Wang Chen nodded slightly.

The golden-winged roc is the younger brother of the peacock, the son of the phoenix, and the uncle of the Tathagata Buddha.

Because the Tathagata Buddha was once swallowed by a peacock, and then the Tathagata Buddha burst out of the peacock's belly.

Unexpectedly, the Tathagata Buddha not only did not blame the peacock, but also recognized the peacock as his mother, making the peacock the peacock king of Buddhism.

In fact, this is just a means. In the ancient times, the three realms were dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns. The phoenix possessed auspicious luck in the world, and the Tathagata Buddha respected the peacock as his mother, so he naturally tied the peacock to Buddhism, so Buddhism can also enjoy the luck and merit brought by the peacock.

To put it nicely, Tathagata Buddha is really a leader who does great things.

"Okay, national teacher, you can tame the golden-winged roc with peace of mind. Since it is a stupid bird of Buddhism, it can also become our great martial arts beast, and work together with my chasing the moon to serve my great martial arts."

Wang Chen said with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Master Ziyang disappeared in place.

Looking at the disappearing back of Master Ziyang, Wang Chen knew in his heart that Master Ziyang really regarded Li Yuanba as his own son. He not only wanted to help the Great Wu Empire leave a golden-winged roc, but also wanted to keep Li Yuanba by his side.

Master Ziyang is really suffering.

Tianwu Pavilion

In just three days, the news that His Majesty is going to build the Tianwu Pavilion has spread from the Luoyang Palace to the north and south.

Countless people expressed concern about this, not only ordinary people, but also local officials, especially Beijing officials, because this Tianwu Pavilion represents the top group of people in the Great Wu Empire.

And these people are all people who need to curry favor.

"Oh, can my old Cheng enter this Tianwu Pavilion, I am worried."

In an attic, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others gathered to drink and chat.

Cheng Yaojin spoke first, scratching his head, honest but shrewd.

"Hahaha, I'm sure I can go. I was the one called by His Majesty back then, and Commander Lu personally sought me out!"

Yu Chigong gulped down a bowl of wine, and laughed out loud, extremely proud, causing Cheng Yaojin to roll his eyes uncontrollably.

"My Luo Cheng is definitely fine."

At this time, Xin Yue'e, who was sitting by the side, said very firmly.

Although most of them were men, there were also quite a few female generals present, such as Xinyue'e, Liu Ruyan, Mrs. Black and White, Hua Dazuo and so on.

"That's for sure. Luo Cheng followed His Majesty to fight in the north and south, and made great contributions to Dawu. It must be a matter of iron and nail!"

Cheng Yaojin hooked Luo Cheng's neck and laughed.

Cheng Yaojin's wife, Hua Dajiao, twisted Cheng Yaojin's ear speechlessly.

"Calm down my old lady!"

The happy couple drew another burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Phew, it would be great if I could go too."

Su Dingfang sighed slightly, and after Gang sighed, he was immediately pulled over by Yu Chigong and others to drink, and Hou Junjie also quickly integrated into it.

The generals are talking here, and the civil servants will naturally not be left behind.

Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Zhang Jiuling, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and more than a dozen important court officials sat together.

"This Tianwu Pavilion, Zhang Gong and Yang Gong are firmly established, and their status is definitely the highest!"

An old minister said with a smile.

Yang Gongren didn't speak. Ever since he died once, Yang Gongren has no interest in fame and wealth. Now Yang Gongren prefers to watch the Great Wu Empire rise completely, even rivaling the sky!
Zhang Jiuling didn't speak either. After all, he was the chief assistant of the cabinet, so he still had some spirits.

"Ahem, my lords, I heard a piece of news. This time, His Majesty will enter a total of 36 places. This is a joint discussion between His Majesty and the National Teacher, and the National Teacher will not be included in it."

Cao Yu said after coughing twice.

Everyone thought for a while, 36 places seemed like a lot, but it was not. Compared with the hundreds of important officials in the imperial court, this number of places was really too few.

Many ministers also knew that they would not have the opportunity to be there.

"Ministers, we gathered here today not to speculate on the people included in the Tianwu Pavilion, because His Majesty will announce the results to us in the future, and it is useless for us to speculate now."

"Now our main task is to receive the envoys of the dependent countries. As a kingdom of heaven, we naturally cannot be petty, but we must also let them feel the majesty and inviolability of our great martial arts! Everyone, we should encourage each other!"

Zhang Jiuling stood up. Although he was over forty years old, he was full of oppression with a bookish atmosphere. Seeing the words of the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, all the ministers stood up and saluted Zhang Jiuling.

"Encourage with Zhang Gong, and encourage for the Great Wu Empire!"

...Tianwu Pavilion...

The first pavilion: Xue Rengui, Yang Gongren, Zhang Jiuling, Luo Cheng, a total of four people,
Second Pavilion: Sun Simiao, Xu Maogong, Yuwen Chengdu, Yu Chigong, Changsun Wuyou, Pei Yuanqing, Cao Yu, Lu Bing, He Meng, Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng, Zhang Wen, a total of 14 people.

Weige: Su Dingfang, Hou Junjie, Shan Xiongxin, Yu Shinan...a total of 18 people.

The announcement of the Tianwu Pavilion list has become a hot topic for everyone in the Tianwu Empire.

Although there are many people talking about it, they basically agree with the official list, because this list is considered the most convincing.

There are four people on the first list, two literate and two martial arts.

The two articles represent Yang Gongren, Minister of Rites, the highest level of civil servants, and Zhang Jiuling, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Among the two martial arts, one is Xue Rengui, the great general who is reputed to be only inferior to Wang Chen, and the other is Luo Cheng, the ever-victorious general who followed Wang Chen first and followed Wang Chen in the north and south.

There is no dispute.

As for the second and last rankings, although there are some disputes, the disputes are not big.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that my old Cheng would be able to enter the second list. His Majesty still values ​​me!"

The Tianwu Pavilion was placed directly in front of the Jinluan Hall. It was an extremely tall stone plaque, three feet high, with 36 names densely written on it.

Those who were on the list all felt refreshed, and those who were not on the list secretly vowed to be on the list.

"Tch, Cheng Yaojin, even if we are both in the second ranking, my ranking is definitely higher than yours!"

Yu Chigong immediately began to mock.

"You fart!"

……

Wang Chen looked at the stone tablet of the Tianwu Bang in the palace, and there was already a steady stream of belief and luck coming from all directions.
