Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2189 - Changes in the Kingdom of India

In the sacred land of Mount Ling, Guanyin mobilized all the forces of the Western Paradise at her disposal, and addressed them.

"Disperse and search for the whereabouts of Tang Sanzang, you must find him.

But remember, do not use force against Tang Sanzang. Once you find his trail, immediately notify me and the Buddha."

As Guanyin's orders were issued, the Buddhas of the Western Paradise split into small teams and began to disperse throughout Xiniu Hezhou, searching for Tang Sanzang's whereabouts.

At the same time, on the Demon Clan's side, Maitreya Buddha also issued orders to the Demon Clan's spirit soldiers and generals.

"You must find the whereabouts of Tang Sanzang, and then inform us. Remember to be very polite to Tang Sanzang, we want to recruit Tang Sanzang into the Demon Clan."

The numerous spirit soldiers and generals of the Demon Clan also dispersed and began searching for Tang Sanzang in Xiniu Hezhou.

The combined strength of the Western Paradise and the Demon Clan was enough to form a vast net across Xiniu Hezhou.

However, even so, they could not find Tang Sanzang, because Tang Sanzang was currently in the Qionghua Palace.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said to Tang Sanzang, as for the White Sable Spirit, she was now in the arms of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

Tang Sanzang would not really consummate the marriage with the White Sable Spirit, everything was just according to Chu Hao's plan, to lure the Western Paradise into the trap.

"Everything is well-provided for in this Qionghua Palace, thank you, Immortal Maiden."

Tang Sanzang had not lived such a comfortable life for a long time. After a few days here, he seemed to have gained a little weight.

"I wonder how Wukong and the others are doing?"

Tang Sanzang was not worried about Chu Hao, because everything was under Chu Hao's control.

He was only worried that Sun Wukong and the other two still had a mission in Tianzhu Kingdom, and Tang Sanzang was a little worried whether Sun Wukong and the other two could proceed according to Chu Hao's plan.

Although Sun Wukong and the other two had been staying in the post house of Tianzhu Kingdom, seemingly waiting for Tang Sanzang to return, in fact, they had already taken action secretly.

Now, the Buddhas of the Western Paradise lurking in the capital of Tianzhu Kingdom had been killed by Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong's group by eighty or ninety percent.

The Western Paradise naturally did not have so much manpower to monitor the entire capital of Tianzhu Kingdom, and its control over it was greatly weakened.

Although the civil and military officials and some guards of the Tianzhu Kingdom saw what happened in the capital of Tianzhu Kingdom, the King of Tianzhu knew that if this matter were to be publicized, it would be extremely detrimental to him.

So, he ordered the news to be blocked, so that the matter would not be publicized, so as to avoid public discussion and dissatisfaction.

However, Sun Wukong and the others had already secretly spread the news, which was not difficult for them.

They only needed Sun Wukong to pluck a few hairs, transform them into the appearance of common people, and spread them among the people, then the people's ability to spread news was very strong.

The dignified King of Tianzhu was actually a running dog of the Western Paradise, and he even helped the Western Paradise, colluding with demons, to harm Tang Sanzang.

Once such a thing was spread among the people, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people.

"How can such a person be the King of our Tianzhu Kingdom?"

"He has really lost all the face of our Tianzhu Kingdom."

"The king is just a puppet of the Western Paradise, helping the Western Paradise to oppress us."

The dissatisfaction of the people, once expressed, would cause a shock throughout the capital of Tianzhu Kingdom, and also trigger some situations.

It should be known that within any dynasty, there is no shortage of ambitious people, who does not want to be a king or an emperor.

Among the court officials of Tianzhu Kingdom, generally speaking, they are divided into two factions. The civil officials are headed by the Prime Minister of Tianzhu Kingdom, who controls the internal affairs of Tianzhu Kingdom.

The military generals are headed by the Great General, who controls the military power of Tianzhu Kingdom.

And the Prime Minister and the Great General saw that the people were like this, and the king had lost the hearts of the people, and they both saw the opportunity.

The two began to stir, wanting to overthrow the current king, so that they could replace him.

However, the King of Tianzhu was not a fool either. The civil and military factions in the court restrained each other, so that he could sit firmly on the throne of the king.

So, after the ambitions of the Prime Minister and the Great General unfolded, the internal strife between the civil and military factions also began.

Sun Wukong and the others naturally investigated these situations clearly in secret.

"That Prime Minister is actually a big corrupt official, who has embezzled huge amounts of wealth."

"The Great General is not a good bird either, controlling the military power, strong and tyrannical."

"That king is even more of a puppet and running dog of the Western Paradise."

Sun Wukong and the others did not want to help any of the three parties, because neither the Prime Minister nor the Great General, nor the King of Tianzhu, were good birds.

What Sun Wukong and the others wanted to help was the people of Tianzhu Kingdom, to let the people break away from the control of the Western Paradise.

Now that the three forces have begun to emerge and engage in open and secret struggles, they are naturally happy to see it happen.

Although the Prime Minister and the Great General were at odds, they both knew that only by overthrowing the current King of Tianzhu would they have a chance to rise to the top.

So, the two reached an agreement to overthrow the King of Tianzhu first.

The Prime Minister led the court officials, and the Great General led the troops, and the two sides broke into the palace of the King of Tianzhu together.

When the King saw the Prime Minister and the Great General breaking into the palace aggressively, he immediately realized that the situation was not good.

He immediately mobilized the palace guards and questioned the Prime Minister and the Great General.

"Are you trying to rebel? This is a heinous crime!"

Hearing what the king said, the Prime Minister and the Great General could not help but sneer.

"You, the king, are just a puppet and running dog of the Western Paradise, and you are of bad character and not worthy of being a king at all."

"You have aroused the public anger of the people, we are representing the will of the people, and asking you to abdicate!"

The Prime Minister and the Great General accused the king of his crimes, asking the king to abdicate and give way to the worthy.

Hearing such accusations, the king was immediately furious and immediately ordered his guards to attack.

"Capture the rebellious traitors for me."

"The king has lost his virtue and is a fatuous ruler of our Tianzhu Kingdom."

"Expel the fatuous ruler, and all those who aid and abet the evildoers will be killed without exception!"

The Prime Minister and the Great General also immediately ordered their respective men to attack.

Inside the palace of the King of Tianzhu, a great battle was immediately staged. Under the struggle between the two sides, corpses were everywhere in the palace and blood flowed like a river.

Relying on the palace guards, the king was naturally not a match for the army led by the Prime Minister and the Great General, and the palace guards were defeated.

In the chaos, the King of Tianzhu was not spared either. He was hacked into mincemeat in the chaotic army, and the entire royal family also died and fled.

The killing of the King of Tianzhu was only the beginning. With no leader in the country, the Prime Minister and the Great General began to seize power. The strength of the two sides was evenly matched, and a storm had begun in the capital of Tianzhu Kingdom.

This power seizure within the court was not much related to the people, but the situation seemed a bit chaotic.
