My brother is so cunning.
Chapter 330: Business ability is more important than connections?
After talking with the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Wen Rui paid respects to all the predecessors of the Golden Spirit Immortal Sect one by one.
Although there is a heavenly rule in the Heavenly Court that only the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother can convene a gathering of immortals, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother obviously does not care at all and immediately ordered a banquet to welcome Wen Rui.
The Dou Department is like a small Heavenly Court. Whether the decree of the Lingxiao Palace can be implemented depends on the mood of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.
Although there are some star gods who are not from the Jiejiao, the sand mixed in is not important at all, and at most it can play a monitoring role.
Because of this, the star gods of the Dou Department have repeatedly committed crimes, and it is common to violate the prohibitions such as going down to the mortal world privately.
Civilian star gods such as Wenquxing will occasionally go down to the mortal world to possess mortal students and take the top exam for fun.
Female star gods such as Hongluan Star God also move around from time to time, causing frequent bad relationships in the mortal world.
Not to mention, in later generations, there were major cases of 108 earthly evil spirits and heavenly star gods coming down to earth to form a group to rebel against the mortal court.
Under the connivance and protection of the Golden Spirit Mother, the star gods were rarely punished severely, and they were considered a relatively free and happy group among the immortal officials in the heavenly court.
Wen Rui was like going home, taking out all kinds of fine wine and food smuggled from the mortal world from his portable secret realm, and treating all the star gods as guests.
In the normal historical timeline, the mortal world was still in the late Western Zhou Dynasty, and mortals had not yet created enough exquisite wine and food.
Wen Rui's development of food has long surpassed the timeline, and he even took out a lot of modern dishes and wine.
Although these foods are not as fairy-like as the food in the heavenly world, and eating a bite can extend your life for several years, they are better in novel style and unique taste.
Wen Rui also brought out a set of speakers and played the most popular song list among the female fairies in the Tianshang Renjian Club to liven up the atmosphere.
The Star Lords are the most mortal among the gods in the heavens, and they like to go down to the mortal world to taste the fireworks of the mortal world. They have no resistance to anything from the mortal world.
This banquet was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests, and the atmosphere was extremely warm. It was more interesting and less restrained than the Peach Banquet of the Queen Mother.
During the banquet, Wen Rui also saw several Star Lords who were not from Jiejiao quietly leaving the table, presumably to pass on the news and inform on the secrets.
He could see that the Golden Spirit Mother was very clear, but she turned a blind eye and didn't care.
This frank and straightforward personality, which didn't even bother to pretend, really made Wen Rui admire her.
Compared with them, the low-key Lishan Laomu and the overly old-fashioned and serious Wen Zhong were far behind.
It's a pity that Wen Rui's position as Jietian Emperor did not belong to the Dou Department, but directly belonged to the Zhongtian Jinque of the Jade Emperor.
This arrangement obviously does not mean that the Jade Emperor values him, and he intends to win over Wen Rui, but rather keeps him by his side so that he can be controlled more easily.
Otherwise, if Wen Rui joins the Dou Mansion, the power of the Jinling lineage of the Heavenly Court Jiejiao will rise to a higher level, and they will be even more unwilling to be controlled by the Jade Emperor.
After the banquet, Wen Rui bid farewell to the immortals of his master, stepped on the auspicious clouds and set off on his way back, and then headed for the Creation Hall of the Zhongtian Jinque Palace.
After ascending to heaven, Wen Rui went around in a big circle, and he has not returned to his own residence, let alone went to the Tianguan under his jurisdiction for inspection. He was a little unprofessional on his first day at work.
Ordinary immortals who are fortunate enough to ascend to heaven and be conferred titles are all cautious and conscientious when they first arrive. Even the monkey in the later generations, who became the Bi Ma Wen, ran to the Tianmaguan happily to raise horses.
Wen Rui is not an ordinary immortal. He knows that the ability of an official is not as important as his connections. Anyway, the lazy and indolent government in the Heavenly Court has become a trend. No one will care if he does nothing. It is more important to open up the way first.
If he was not worried that running too often would cause dissatisfaction with the Jade Emperor, Wen Rui would have wanted to visit the Plague Department, Water Department, Fire Department, Finance Department, Pox Department, and Tai Sui Department.
Uncle Lu Yue, the Plague Emperor Haotian of the Plague Department, and Wen Rui have similar tastes. They developed a new type of epidemic virus to harm the Zhou army and formed a deep comradeship.
Uncle Zhao Gongming, the Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Dragon and Tiger Xuantan Zhenjun of the Finance Department, is an elder in the sect who has taken care of Wen Rui for many years. With his support, Wen Rui made a lot of money in the mortal world.
Luo Xuanluo, the Fire Deity Star Lord of the Fire Department, cooperated well with the "Oil Sprinkler Army" led by Wen Rui in the battle of burning Xiqi. One set the fire and the other added fuel to the fire. They were also friends who regretted not meeting each other too late.
Lu Xiong, the Water Deity Star Lord of the Water Department, was a famous general of the Shang Dynasty recommended by Wen Rui to Wen Zhong. He was loyal and unyielding. He stood up and did not kneel when he was defeated and captured. He was a rare loyal minister of the Shang Dynasty.
Yu Hualong, the Bixia Yuan Lord of the Pox Department, was similar to Lu Xiong. He was also a loyal minister and general of the Shang Dynasty recommended by Wen Rui. His family died in the fight against Zhou.
Even Yin Jiao, the Year Lord of the Tai Sui Department, was the prince of the Shang Dynasty. He was a childhood friend of Wen Rui. Wen Rui had been a companion to the prince since he was a child. Emperor Xin said that Wen Rui was a wise minister left to Yin Jiao to govern the world. Wen Rui once urged Wen Zhong to abolish and establish the throne and help the prince to succeed to the throne in advance, but he failed. Yin Jiao knew it and remembered it with gratitude.
It's a pity that the Tai Sui Department has two chiefs. Another Jiazi Tai Sui God Yang Ren was persecuted for building the Lu Tai, and became a disciple of Daode Zhenjun, and became a disciple of the Chan Sect, and he had a deep hatred for the Shang Dynasty.
The Lu Tai was built by Wen Rui. Yang Ren died admonishing that building the Lu Tai would be a waste of money and labor, but Wen Rui did a great job, using many future construction technologies, and did not waste much manpower. As a result, he was also hated by Yang Ren, and the two of them had an irreconcilable feud.
Among the eight gods in the heaven, Wen Rui's connections covered seven and a half, and he had very close relations with two of them. It would be strange if he was not jealous of the Jade Emperor.
The eight departments of the Heavenly Court are not equally powerful. The strongest is the Dou Department, followed by the Lei Department and the Cai Department. The remaining four departments of Tai Sui, Fire, Water, Plague, and Pox are far behind.
The Dou Department has the strongest independence. If the Jade Emperor wants to mobilize the star gods of the Dou Department, he must discuss with Dou Mu Yuanjun and obtain the support of Yuanjun Niangniang before he can issue orders smoothly.
Although the Lei Department and the Cai Department obey the orders of the Jade Emperor, they must also issue orders reasonably and make policies in a reasonable way. Otherwise, with the tempers of Wen Zhong and Zhao Gongming, they will disobey the orders and make direct criticisms in the face of bad policies and chaos.
The other five departments do not have such confidence and dare not disobey the Jade Emperor's orders.
As a start-up organization, the Creation Xuan Hall of Emperor Wen Rui is actually a little bit of a big horse pulling a small cart. In terms of administrative level, the Creation Xuan Hall is just a subordinate organization of the Jinque Yu Palace directly under the Jade Emperor.
The administrative organizations of the Heavenly Court are ranked as "Fu", "Palace", "Dian", "Jian" and "Garden".
The officials of Tianzun and Yuanjun are in charge of one or several prefectures.
The officials of Dijun and Tianwang are in charge of one palace.
The officials of Tianjun and Zhenjun are in charge of one hall.
As for the various prisons and gardens in the heaven, the chief officials are low-ranking immortal officials who are not very popular.
Sun Wukong used the official positions of Bi Ma Wen and Qi Tian Da Sheng to govern Tianma Prison and Pan Tao Garden. The official positions of the two are just different in name, and there is no essential difference in status.
Wen Rui was born in a prominent family of Yin Shang, so he knew the "promotion map" of the heaven very well. When he was conferred the title, he knew that the Jade Emperor had some tricks, but he did not expose it on the spot.
This is the performance of mature bureaucrats who know how to advance and retreat and compromise. After getting the key interests, they make some insignificant concessions, first put the official position in their pockets, and there will be plenty of opportunities to seek greater authority in the future.
