#1982 - Did Chu Hao compromise?
Recently, Chu Hao really seemed to be living a life of leisure, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, just like Manjusri Bodhisattva said.
It seemed he really no longer cared about Tang Sanzang and his disciples or the affairs of the Western Paradise, turning into a carefree, freeloading public official of the Heavenly Court.
Now, under Chu Hao's command, the strength of the Prison God Hall could be described as extremely formidable. Ordinary matters didn't even require Chu Hao's personal attention; simply dispatching a capable subordinate could easily resolve them.
It wasn't just the Western Paradise that was paying attention to Chu Hao's situation; the Heavenly Court was as well.
In the Heavenly Court's imperial court, several people stood up one after another to report to the Jade Emperor.
“Your Majesty, the Prison God's recent conduct has been very lax.”
“Indeed, as the Prison God, he doesn't diligently manage the Three Realms for Your Majesty and attend to his duties properly. He should be punished.”
“Within the Prison God Hall, there's singing and dancing every day, and the Prison God spends his days drunk and indulging in debauchery, which damages the reputation of our Heavenly Court.”
Chu Hao had offended quite a few people in the Heavenly Court, and these people naturally wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble for him.
“Taibai Jinxing, where is the Prison God?”
The Jade Emperor asked Taibai Jinxing, who was standing to the side.
“The Prison God is in the East Sea, drinking with the Dragon King of the East Sea.”
Taibai Jinxing reported Chu Hao's whereabouts to the Jade Emperor.
“Go and invite the Prison God here. Just say that someone has filed a complaint against him.”
The Jade Emperor instructed Taibai Jinxing.
“Yes!”
Taibai Jinxing agreed and immediately set off for the East Sea to invite Chu Hao.
Inside the Dragon King's palace in the East Sea, there was plenty of fine wine, and Chu Hao and the Dragon King of the East Sea had been drinking and chatting happily for a day.
When he was invited to the main hall by Taibai Jinxing, he was already half-drunk.
“Your Majesty, the Prison God is showing great disrespect by appearing before you drunk.”
“He should be doubly punished, removed from his position, and expelled from the Heavenly Court.”
“Please, Your Majesty, severely punish the Prison God to maintain the order of the Heavenly Court.”
Seeing the half-drunk Chu Hao, those fellows were overjoyed and began to enumerate Chu Hao's crimes.
“My esteemed officials, that's not right. I invited the Prison God here. Would it be disrespectful to me if he didn't come because he was drunk?”
The Jade Emperor looked at those fellows and said unhappily.
“This… Your Majesty is wise!”
Hearing the Jade Emperor say this, those fellows were immediately speechless.
“Prison God, these people are accusing you of indulging in debauchery in the Heavenly Court and neglecting your duties. I'll let you handle it yourself.”
The Jade Emperor said to Chu Hao.
Hearing the Jade Emperor say this, those fellows almost fainted.
They originally thought that the Jade Emperor had summoned Chu Hao to punish him in some way, at least to reprimand him, but they didn't expect it to be like this.
Chu Hao turned around, looked at those fellows, and immediately smiled.
This smile, in their eyes, was as terrifying as a demon.
“You said I was neglecting my duties, so let me show you what I've been doing lately!”
As Chu Hao spoke, he waved his hand, and a scroll unfurled, detailing the recent actions of the Prison God Hall.
‘The Camel Mountain Demon King Xuanling Evil Turtle, charged with harming the nearby people and poisoning living beings, imprisoned in the third level of the Prison God Hall, sentenced to three thousand years.’
‘The one-eyed Giant King of Northern Ju Continent, charged with betraying the Heavenly Court, imprisoned in the eighth level of the Prison God Hall, sentenced to ten thousand years.’
‘The Western Sea Evil Flood Dragon clan, charged with defying the Mandate of Heaven and bringing disaster to the world, executed at the Demon Slaying Platform of the Prison God Hall, the entire clan annihilated, body and soul destroyed.’
In the last ten days, the Prison God Hall had imprisoned one hundred and fifteen evil monsters and demons and executed thirty-seven.
“Is this what you call neglecting my duties? Is there any demon causing chaos within the Three Realms now?”
Chu Hao asked those fellows.
“This… impossible! We haven't seen the Prison God take action!”
The fellows naturally couldn't believe it. Chu Hao was drinking and making merry all day long, so how could he have so many accomplishments?
“Do I, the Prison God, need to personally deal with these mere demons?”
Chu Hao's words made everyone understand the true strength of the Prison God Hall.
“But you're singing and dancing every day, indulging in debauchery in the Heavenly Court!”
The fellows still refused to accept it and said.
“What's wrong with drinking when I have nothing to do? Is it considered debauchery in the Heavenly Court if I'm having fun with my wives?”
As Chu Hao spoke, he even took out his wine pot and took a sip, questioning the fellows.
The fellows immediately lowered their heads, already speechless by Chu Hao.
“According to the Heavenly Court's regulations, you have falsely accused this Prison God and should be imprisoned in the sixth level of the Prison God Hall, sentenced to three hundred years. After serving your time, you will be cast down to the lower realm to reincarnate and cultivate again!”

Those who are against the recent actions of Chu Hao are brought down to the Prison God's Hall.
For Chu Hao's approach, the Jade Emperor has been watching from above, but did not express any opinion, apparently letting Chu Hao handle it.
Such a scene also let others present understand what status Chu Hao is now.
"Well, all the Qing Ai will go down, and the Prison God will stay for a while, and talk to me in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
The Jade Emperor invited Chu Hao not because someone accused Chu Hao, but because there were other things.
After arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation and sitting down, the Jade Emperor said to Chu Hao.
"The Prison God doesn't seem to pay much attention to the affairs of the West Tian recently. You must know that those monsters are always just a small disorder for the Heavenly Court. The Prison God must guard the foundation of the Heavenly Court."
The Jade Emperor's words were very clear, that is, the West Tian is the biggest hidden danger of the Heavenly Court.
"How does the Jade Emperor know that I am not paying attention? Sometimes I need to take action head-on, and sometimes I need to use a roundabout way."
Chu Hao smiled and explained to the Jade Emperor. This answer is also very clear, that is, everything is in his control.
"I know I won't be wrong about people. The Prison God can rest assured that the sky will not fall!"
Although the Jade Emperor's words were very obscure, he also told Chu Hao that the Heavenly Court would be a good backing for Chu Hao.
"Presumably, Lai is secretly happy, thinking that I have compromised, and when the time comes, I will make Lai cry too late."
Chu Hao also laughed.
"Very good!"
For the West Tian, the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Court cannot directly take action, which may cause a direct conflict between the two sides, and Chu Hao has become a crucial role.
In the Hidden Mist Mountain, Guanyin has come on the cloud and is heading towards the direction of the Ring Cave.
She is going to directly rescue Tang Seng, bring him to the three of Sun Wukong, and then give the three of them a lecture to break up.
This disaster is considered to be completed smoothly, which she thinks is very simple.
The gate of the Ring Cave is still tightly closed, but this gate is useless to Guanyin. She turned into a streamer and entered the cave directly.
And the Nanshan King in the cave is drinking sullen wine.
"Where is the problem? Where did Tang Seng go?"
