Peerless Taoist

He had gone through Lu Yu's baptism of divine power and now had the cultivation level of the Profound Immortal Realm. He thought that it was already quite good, but when he saw the officials in the Great Qin Imperial Court, he was secretly shocked.    

From his point of view, the overall strength of Great Qin's officials was much stronger than Tang Dynasty's.    

The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to rise so quickly was because of the many rich and powerful families that had been planning since the middle ages. This caused the power of the aristocratic families in the entire Tang Dynasty to be exceptionally enormous. Even though those who held high positions had extraordinary strength, they were often old and decrepit, and they were filled with decadence.    

Great Qin, on the other hand, seemed to be full of energy. There were many talents, and there was even a young talent like Fang Ming, who was ranked in the Imperial Court.    

Such a thing had not happened in the Imperial Court of the Tang Dynasty since Li Mi died in battle.    

"Lu Tiangang is my old friend. I am not worried about his strength and experience. However, the Bureau of Personnel does not need to think about this when it comes to evaluating achievements. We just need to do things according to the rules." Lu Yu reminded.    

Hearing that he was an old friend of Lu Yu, everyone immediately understood.    

After all, Tiandu was Lu Yu's hometown, the place of Longxing. It was best to rely on trustworthy old friends to guard it.    

All of a sudden, countless gazes gathered on Lu Tiangang. This was an old friend of the emperor. If they could build a good relationship with him, there would definitely be no harm.    

"Thank you, Your Majesty."    

Lu Tiangang was extremely grateful.    

He was an old minister of the Tang Dynasty to begin with. Now that he had joined the Great Qin, it was inevitable that he would be ostracized.    

However, Lu Yu had made it clear in front of him that Lu Tiangang was his old friend, so Lu Tiangang's status had changed as well. There would be countless people who would curry favor with Lu Tiangang and establish a good relationship with him. As for making things difficult and ostracizing him, that would obviously not happen.    

Lu Tiangang knew that Lu Yu was helping him, so he was extremely grateful.    

"An imperial edict: Yin Baolong Tu of the original Xianyang Prefecture is conferred the title of King of Hell. He will be conferred the title of King of the Dynasty and will be bestowed with an iron certificate of pills."    

Immediately after, Zhao Gao read out another imperial edict.    

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Imperial Court became silent.    

It was actually an imperial edict for the Duke of Xianyang!    

Ever since Great Qin had been established, the process of conferring the title of King had become extremely strict. Very few people were able to obtain the title of King, not to mention the highest rank of King. Even a general who had experienced hundreds of battles would require a long period of training in order to obtain a title of King.    

"The King of the Underworld controls hell on behalf of Us and surveys reincarnation. From now on, the territory of Great Qin, from the Heaven Realm to the Underworld Realm, regardless of whether it is the Human, Ghost, Demon, or Devil, is all under the control of the Empire." Lu Yu said.    

At this moment, everyone was shocked by Lu Yu's boldness.    

In all the dynasties in the middle ancient times, which one of them could control the cycle of hell?    

"Your Majesty is invincible. You can even subdue ghosts and gods and bring peace to the common people."    

Many of the ministers looked at Lu Yu with respect. This was true invincibility. With a single word, he could decide the reincarnation of the world. Who would dare to disobey him?    

"This subject obeys the decree and will definitely not disappoint the emperor." Bao Longtu knelt down to receive the decree.    

From now on, he would be the King of the Underworld of Great Qin, and would go to the Nether Realm to control the reincarnation of the people.    

No one objected to this appointment. After all, when Bao Longtu was the magistrate of Xianyang, he was known for being impartial and strict. Even if a member of the imperials broke the law, they would still be punished by his order. It could be said to be a 'strong order'.    

For such a big matter like monitoring Hell, one had to choose a righteous person to succeed.
