Please don't force me to be a god.

Zhang Tian's side.

After leaving the palace gate, I saw two teams of imperial guards changing shifts.

The imperial guards behind shouted, "Get out of the way, it's our turn. Go, go, don't delay us from seeing the dragon."

The imperial guards in front reluctantly retreated, allowing the imperial guards behind to form a circle and move forward.

The gatekeeper general said, "Did you bring the meat?"

The new captain said, "General, we have brought it. We can bring all the food for today."

The general said, "Well, it's good to know the rules. This dragon was subdued by the immortal. It's a blessing for us to see it. Don't anger it."

The captain said, "I understand."

As he said that, looking at the huge body of more than ten meters long, the new hundred-man team was amazed and fed the short-legged little leg while watching.

The short-legged little leg accepted everyone who came, and I don't know how many hundred-man teams have been changed.

Since the short-legged little leg was tied in front of the palace gate, almost all the imperial guards have received the news.

The imperial guards had strict discipline, and the imperial guards from the other three gates dared not come to the south gate.

But the imperial guards from the south gate had no such scruples.

Since his subordinates wanted to watch, the general sent a hundred-man team each time in the name of changing guard.

Anyway, this was within his scope of authority and responsibility, and it was not considered a violation.

Of course, you can come to watch, but you can't lack meat.

When Zhang Tian came out, the short legs had eaten so much that their stomachs were almost bulging with four short legs.

Zhang Tian signaled Tiedong to untie the iron chain, which made the imperial guards envious.

Leading a dragon is so much more majestic than leading a war horse.

Su'er stepped forward and patted the short legs' belly, saying, "Short legs, you've eaten too much, be careful not to be bloated."

"Ah..."

The short legs growled, moved his body, and signaled Su'er to sit on it.

Su'er jumped and sat on the cushion. Although it was not heavy, it made the little short leg burp with a sound of "uh...", and it was obvious that his stomach was squeezed.

Zhang Tian said: "Take it back first. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

The original plan was to give the little short leg to the emperor as one of the gifts.

After all, it is inconvenient and unsafe to keep the little short leg by his side.

The royal family has Shanglin Garden, which not only raises animals that the emperor likes, but also rare birds and animals tributed from various countries.

It is large in area and has special people to take care of it. It is the most suitable place for the little short leg to be raised.

But plans cannot keep up with changes.

Today's quarrel and 3 gifts, on the contrary, there is no time to mention the little short leg.

It was just dawn, still early in the morning.

Zhang Tian asked Tiedong to take the little short leg back to the mansion and lock it up, and he took Xu Wen and Su'er to the downtown area to play and eat while walking.

…………

The emperor's side

As soon as he returned to the harem, he couldn't wait to call a few of his favorite concubines over and show off the Dragon Ball.

The concubines screamed.

Soon, the emperor found a new way to play.

He found that the Dragon Ball could actually record his voice intact, and then fly to the concubine's palace and play it back.

This is equivalent to a remote transmission of an order.

The emperor suddenly felt that such a magical function should not be used casually.

Only the queen and the most favorite concubines can enjoy the honor of the Dragon Ball's voice transmission. Others can only let the eunuchs pass on the message.

At noon, the Dragon Ball sent out a voice: "Your Majesty, the Dragon Ball is hungry and wants to bask in the sun."

"Then go, don't fly too far."

The Dragon Ball flew to a stone table outside the palace and stopped, and it was basking in the sun for two hours.

The emperor didn't feel tired, so he asked someone to bring a chair and squatted for the whole afternoon.

Only when he saw the Dragon Ball glowing green, indicating that it was "full", and flew back to the emperor's hand, did he rest for a while.

…………

The next day, at the hour of Mao.

Emperor An You walked out of the back hall with the Dragon Ball on his head, shining brightly, and all the officials were amazed again.

Even the shouts of "Long live the emperor" were louder than usual.

Emperor An You was very satisfied with the effect.

He glanced at the hall and was shocked. He asked anxiously, "Where is Master Zhang? Why didn't he come? Did he leave Lin'an Prefecture? Quick, quick, Prime Minister, send someone to chase him."

Prime Minister Cai said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Master Zhang Tian is still in Lin'an Prefecture and has not left yet."

"Then why don't you send someone to invite him to the palace?"

Prime Minister Cai said, "Your Majesty, Master Zhang was here yesterday, so some things are not convenient to say."

"Why not, while Master Zhang is not here today, we, the monarch and the minister, have made things clear, and then invite Master Zhang to the court, so as not to make Master Zhang unhappy again."

As he said, he looked slightly at the Imperial Censor Liu Fang.

At this time, Zhuo Ping, who was serving on the side, also whispered, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shangxian likes to sleep until sunrise.He got up at noon. He got up so early yesterday and got angry at his disciple Xu Xiucai. "

"Yeah." Emperor Anyou then remembered that the intelligence did mention this matter, but Zhang Tian had too many miraculous things and had no time to pay attention to these small details.

But after yesterday's court, his psychological status had a subtle change.

Originally, he thought that he was the emperor of the world, no lower than the immortals, but after a trip to heaven, this sense of arrogance quickly disappeared, and even Zhang Tian's bad habits had to be considered carefully.

Emperor Anyou said to Cai An: "What do you want to say?"

Prime Minister Cai bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you are not unreasonable to worry about Master Zhang leaving just now."

"If we can't make it clear in the court, like yesterday, Master Zhang Tian was repeatedly troubled as soon as he came in, and I'm afraid he will leave as soon as possible."

"Master Zhang is a Taoist master who can fly away at any time. How can he be bullied by us vulgar people in vain? "

Emperor Anyou thought the same.

Not to mention the immortals who could ascend to heaven, even some literati with some integrity would probably resign if they were treated so harshly.

Prime Minister Cai said to the civil servants: "Minister Shi, Lord Liu, are you going to continue to drive away Master Zhang?"

"This... this..."

Minister Shi and Liu Fang looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

They were just trying to drive Zhang Tian out of the court yesterday, and today they were asked to change their words, and they couldn't let go of their face.

More importantly, they were also afraid that such a big Buddha would enter the court and put a huge squeeze on their power.

But if they insisted on driving him away, they dared not say it out loud in the current situation.

If the emperor really had to choose between them and Zhang Tian, ​​I'm afraid he would choose Zhang Tian without hesitation.

Let alone the illusory chance of becoming an immortal.

Just the two military exploits in Xiangyang City, plus the second gift, 20 million silver and 100,000 taels of gold, and the terrifying "immortal method".

One person can be equal to 100,000 troops, plus a national treasury!

Which civil servant can do it?

If it really comes to the point of choosing between the two, the emperor would rather clear half of the court and ask Zhang Tian to stay.

Prime Minister Cai flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that not only can we not drive him away, but we should give Mr. Zhang the supreme honor and beg him to stay."

Liu Fang said: "Supreme honor? Prime Minister, where do you want to put the emperor?"

Prime Minister Cai was not in a hurry, but started reading.

"Zhuangzi said that there are four people above ordinary people."

"They are the real person, the supreme person, the god, and the saint."
