Sun Wukong had always been very respectful to Taibai Jinxing.
When he heard Taibai Jinxing come forward to offer advice, he got up and said,"What is a Ju Guan?"
Taibai Jinxing smiled." Great Sage," he said," the meaning of having an official position is for His Majesty to assign an official position to Zhang Huan."”
Sun Wukong was stunned when he heard that. Why did it sound so familiar?
"Hey, old man, you're doing this again.”
Sun Wukong waved his hand dismissively. He had been scammed like this back then. How could Zhang Huan fall for this trick?
If he did not create another havoc in the Heavenly Palace, there would be a good show to watch.
The Jade Emperor was now very suspicious of Zhao 'an's route and said,""My dear minister, do you really think it's possible to appease that Zhang Huan?”
Taibai Jinxing bowed and said,"Your Majesty, may I have a word with you?"”
Taibai Jinxing was the messenger of the Jade Emperor. He was also considered to be of high status and authority, and he was also the absolute confidant of the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor knew the importance of this request. He stood up and said,""Please wait for a moment. Taibai loves you, please follow me.”
Behind the Soaring Heaven King Palace, in the Jade Emperor's study.
With the Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing around, they were both monarch and minister and friends, so they were not too restrained in private.
The Jade Emperor did not sit down and said directly,"Tai Bai, what do you think?”
"Your Majesty, I was actually trying to avoid Great Sage Sun. Great Sage Sun is now a Buddhist and will sooner or later attain the status of Buddha. There are some things that I can't discuss in front of him.”
The Jade Emperor nodded and said,"What is it exactly? Tell me."”
"Your Majesty, it's like this."
Taibai Jinxing said," The Way of Heaven has already decided on the Journey to the West. The rise of Buddhism is irreversible. All we can do is follow the will of heaven and do our best to seek benefits."”
"However, no matter what, the tribulation will be on the Buddhist Sect. At that time, the Buddhist Sect will definitely become even stronger and more attractive to the capable people in the three worlds. It won't be easy for our Heavenly Court to compete with them again.”
Taibai Jinxing's words were already tactful. When the Buddhist Sect flourished, all the talents in the three worlds would definitely go to the Spirit Mountain first. Who would care about the Heavenly Court?
This was just like a good job. Who would choose a township enterprise instead of a top 500 company with good pay?
This analogy might seem exaggerated now, but if the Buddhist Sect really completed the Journey to the West tribulation, it was hard to say whether this was exaggerated or just flattering the Heavenly Courts.
In any case, according to the Buddhist Sect, it would definitely be best if they could make the Heavenly Court go bankrupt.
The Jade Emperor understood the logic, so he did not need Taibai Jinxing to say anything more. He continued,"Now, such a powerful human cultivator has suddenly appeared. He can defeat three Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist Sect in a row and even defeat the Great Sage Sun.”
"Your Majesty, this old minister feels that this is a rare opportunity for us. If we can use Zhang Huan, we will have one more helper and one more trump card when we compete with the Buddhist Sect in the future.”
Zhang Huan had already proven his strength. In the entire Heavenly Court, there were very few people who could capture Guan Yin.
If I can use such an expert…
The Jade Emperor was excited just thinking about it. Taibai Jinxing smiled and said,""Zhang Huan's strength has already been proven, and from Great Sage Sun's words, we know that he is full of prejudice against Buddhism. This is good news for us.”
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Seeing that the Buddhist Sect was about to grow bigger, he could not stop it. If he wanted to gain some benefits, he could only help the Buddhist Sect grow bigger.
Now that he had encountered an expert who was not on good terms with the Buddhist Sect, what was he waiting for? Waiting for the new year?
The Jade Emperor had already been persuaded by Taibai Jinxing. The more he thought about it, the more tempted he became.
However, he still had some doubts." Taibai is right. It's just that it sounds like that Zhang Huan is unruly. He is so lawless that he even dared to capture Guanyin and Manjusri. I'm worried that he will also look down on Zhao An."”
Back then, Sun Wukong did not care about this, and Zhang Huan was even more daring than Sun Wukong.
"Your Majesty, the current situation is completely different from the Great Sage Sun's.”
Taibai Jinxing continued to laugh." The Great Sage Sun was summoned to the Western Paradise to obtain the Buddhist scriptures. So, he was allowed to do as he pleased. Or rather, he was led to cause trouble."”
"So he was deliberately given an unremarkable official position, deliberately making him angry and make him rebel.”
"Now that we've given Zhang Huan an edict, we can give him a real high official salary. With his strength, he can definitely afford it.”
"Your Majesty, you have always treated your subjects with courtesy. When the time comes, what's the harm in granting Zhang Huan some privileges?”
As the Jade Emperor's strategist, Taibai Jinxing said everything to the Jade Emperor's heart.
What kind of price one had to pay to rope in a talent completely depended on how capable the person was.
Zhang Huan dared to openly oppose the Buddhist Sect, and it was not only the Buddhist Sect that was supporting him. The Heavenly Court and the Dao Sect were also supporting him. He was simply openly provoking the three worlds and making them his enemies.
With such courage, coupled with the strength to make the Buddhist Sect suffer, it was enough for the Jade Emperor to give him the highest treatment.
To be able to pull such a person under his command, as long as it was not a matter of principle, everything else could be discussed.
"That makes sense. In that case, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip.”
The Jade Emperor nodded and said," However, in order to avoid giving the Buddhist Sect a chance to talk, and to save that monkey from pestering us, we still have to prepare a few more poems."”
Just as he said this, he heard Sun Wukong's impatient voice coming from the main hall.
"Old man, old man, what are you talking about? Are you done? I can't wait any longer."
After the Jade Emperor and Taibai Jinxing heard this, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
