Pawn Crossing the River

Full authority, full power to deal with things.

In name, everyone must cooperate with Qi Xuansu and even obey Qi Xuansu.

As for whether privately, it is a violation of the law or a deliberate stumbling block, it depends on the methods of both parties.

In this Taoist government meeting, Qi Xuansu finally got everything he wanted. The key is to have a good reputation as a teacher.

For example, Qi Xuansu could replace all the people Chen Shuhua arranged in the palace, he could also arrest the eunuch Si Kongguang openly, and so on.

Wang Jiaohe was retreating to advance, while Qi Xuansu was pressing forward step by step to see who would have the last laugh. Whether Qi Xuansu left Borneo sadly, Wang Jiaohe still smiled proudly in Nanyang, or whether Qi Xuansu used this incident to completely open up the situation and cut off some of the wings of the Wang family, it all depends on the abilities of both parties.

In any organization, interest relationships are often intricate. Under such complex circumstances, the organization will reach a certain balance. Note that balance is not the same as fairness, and has nothing to do with justice. This balance will contain many unreasonable and unfair aspects. It only takes into account the interests of most people, so it can form a balance.

[In view of the general environment,

To break the balance, one person cannot do it. You must win over others. If you want to win over others, you don't rely on your smooth tongue to persuade them, but on involving their immediate interests. , they will naturally join the fight and contribute forcefully.

Interests, this is the key to the battle between the two.

On the way back to the Water Palace, Ke Qingqing said: "Second, I think those people have bad intentions. The effect of this operation may not be very good."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What kind of effect do you think is good?"

Ke Qingqing said: "Of course we will wipe out all the secret societies."

Qi Xuansu smiled: "This world is neither black nor white, but there is white among black, and black among white, and it goes on and on. As long as the soil that allows secret societies to take root and sprout is still there, secret societies will be like weeds. Likewise, wildfires never burn out, but the spring breeze will revive them. The key to eradicating secret societies is not the secret societies, but the soil for their growth. So Zhang Cixi often said that she wanted to change Taoism, this time it was to eliminate this soil. The leakage of dragon energy does not depend on the two ancient immortals, but on the internal affairs of the Taoist government. Therefore, the effectiveness does not depend on whether the secret society can be completely eliminated, but on whether the atmosphere and environment within the Taoist government will change. "

Ke Qingqing fell into deep thought.

Chen Jianchou listened with admiration.

He suddenly understood what the pattern was. No wonder Qi Cixian was entrusted with important tasks by Jin Que.

Qi Xuansu's mind was not on these things.

If discussions of all sizes are all about emptiness, then Qi Xuansu has done enough emptiness. Next, he needs to do some specific practical things.

The senior leaders of the Taoist sect never just sit behind the scenes and command and dispatch, but often also take the lead. When Fenglinzhou was pacified, everyone from the Imperial Master to Qingwei Zhenren, Zhang Qihan, Qi Xuansu and others participated in the frontal battlefield, and no one sat in the rear camp.

Qi Xuansu, who was fully responsible, naturally could not tolerate him sitting in the water palace.

Sun Yaoping could put it aside for the time being, and he could also ignore the illness of the Lord of Dayu. He first needed to find out about the leakage of dragon energy.

He would investigate the things that Chen Jianchou had not finished investigating and could not continue to investigate.

That big tomb has been completely destroyed. It was destroyed by the "Taiyi Law". Everything returned to chaos and was directly wiped away. Except for Wu Luo's blood lake, no traces were left. Wu Luo's blood lake also became Got it

A small pond has no value at all.

The remaining key is the palace of Dayu Kingdom.

It's not that the dragon's energy must pass through the palace, but that the palace was built at the node of the dragon's energy when it was sited. The same is true for the Imperial Palace in the Imperial Capital.

First of all, Qi Xuansu ordered the replacement of Chen Shuhua's manpower, and a second-grade spiritual officer from the Xuanwei Division of Jiugang led the spiritual officer to the palace.

Responsible for security.

Secondly, Qi Xuansu issued an arrest document in the name of the second deputy head of the palace to arrest the missing eunuch Si Kongguang throughout the country. At the same time, he sent letters to Lingnan Taoist Prefecture and Dongpo Suozhou Taoist Prefecture, requesting assistance.

The person who interfaced with Qi Xuansu at Lingnan Daofu was Zhang Yuelu. She was also in charge of criminal names and laws. There was nothing to say about this. Zhang Yuelu could not possibly cause Qi Xuansu to get in the way.

As for the East Posuzhou Taoist Prefecture, it is actually not bad, because it is at the forefront of the fight against the West and has a very special status. On the contrary, it is the place with the least internal struggles and the most stable place. The reason is simple. The greater the external pressure, the more internal unity will be. Those who are not united will die. The smaller the external pressure, the easier it is to fight within.

Qi Xuansu decided to go to the palace of Dayu Kingdom again.

There are many members of Dayu's clan, and Chen Jianchou is one of them. However, there are not many core members of the royal family. In addition to the King of Dayu, Chen Jianqiu, and Chen Shuhua, there is also a crown prince who is Chen Jianqiu’s half-brother. His biological mother is the first queen of the King of Dayu. Now both queens are No longer alive. There is also the Queen Mother. As we all know, the King of Dayu and Chen Shuhua are also half-brothers and sisters. The Queen Mother is the King's biological mother, while Chen Shuhua's biological mother has died of illness.

When Qi Xuansu came to the palace again, the palace gate guard had been replaced by a spiritual officer, and Chen Jianqiu was already waiting for Qi Xuansu.

From the first meeting, Chen Jianqiu was very respectful to Qi Xuansu. In fact, Qi Xuansu did not disappoint her. Things have been developing in the direction she hoped for.

After Chen Jianqiu saluted Qi Xuansu, he smiled at Chen Jianqiu who was following Qi Xuansu: "Brother Qiu."

Chen Jianchou took a small step back and responded: "Princess Furui."

Now Chen Jianchou is learning from Qi Xuansu, and he found that Qi Xuansu's attitude towards female Taoist priests can be described in four words, that is, neither far nor close.

To be close is to be disrespectful. Xu Jiaorong knows how to be approachable, but not everyone is Xu Jiaorong. The so-called people are never in the minority. Qi Xuansu must not be too approachable if he wants to maintain his dignity. As for Xiao Yin, Qi Xuansu never treated her as a woman. Strictly speaking, whether Xiao Yin can be defined as a "person" is still a question worth discussing. Each of the three major ghost entities is more terrifying than the last. It is hard to say what Xiao Yin's entity is like.

If you are far away, you will be resentful. If you are unkind, it will inevitably make some people resentful. Therefore, Qi Xuansu will not refuse people thousands of miles away on the surface, but will carry forward the consistent style of Taoism and treat female Taoist priests on an equal footing. On the other hand, show respect as a friend.

This also has the advantage that there will be no gossip. Neither can people say that he is unequal and look down upon female Taoist priests, nor can people say that he is not honest in the relationship between men and women and has an improper relationship with a female Taoist priest.

Xu Jiaorong once told Chen Jianchou that the moral doctrine of Taoism was somewhat overcorrected and even a little crazy. If you want to achieve something within the Taoist sect, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, the first thing you need to do is to control your lower body and never engage in carpe diem. Even if you do, you must not let anyone know about it.

For example, Shi Bingyun's relationship between men and women was a bit confusing, causing uproar in the city.

Back then, she was competing with Master Cihang. Now Master Cihang is ranked third in Jinque, while Shi Bingyun is only the second deputy palace master and has not even entered Jinque. It is difficult to say that there is no reason for this. The reason is very simple. If you have three wives and four concubines, or several husbands, and you talk about equality, even if it is superficial equality, it will not be convincing.

On the contrary, unswerving loyalty and harmonious relationship between husband and wife are a big plus point, because the Taoist sect has the position of headmaster's wife, who is on an equal footing with the three deputy headmasters, which is very important. For example, Pei Xiaolou and Lei Xiaohuan, this is an example. Now Lei Xiaohuan has been promoted to the chief deputy palace master.

It doesn't matter how close Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are, this is a bonus. But if Qi Xuansu did something that crossed the line with a woman other than Zhang Yuelu, even if it was just to catch someone's attention, that would be a sin. The best way is to keep your distance.

Of course, adoptive mothers like Qiniang don't count, nor do children like Xiao Yin. Taishang Taoist ancestor said, I have three virtues

, one word is "kindness", and kindness comes before frugality. This "compassion" has many similarities with the Confucian "filial piety", but it covers a wider scope. Of course Qiniang's slap falling on Qi Xuansu's head cannot be considered as crossing the line, and Qi Xuansu's slap falling on Xiao Yin's head cannot be considered crossing the line either. They are all "for your own good" and fall under the category of "kindness".

Chen Jianchou has come to some realization. He wants to go further in the Taoist sect, and now he has to face a choice, either to identify Chen Jianqiu and become a Taoist couple, or to keep a distance from Chen Jianqiu from now on.

If they form a Taoist couple, then Chen Jianqiu's family background is very serious. He is not clean, and his royal family background, member of the Ziguang Society, and Western ancestry are all negative points.

She is a member of Zhang Yuelu and cannot be equated with Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu has a good foundation and a good seedling. The old Zhang family has been a member of the Taoist sect for many years. Counting from the ancestor Tianshi, it can be traced back to before the Yellow Turban Uprising. The Li family claimed to be Tai Descendants of the Shang Dao Ancestor, the ancestor of the Zhang family is still the direct descendant of the Tai Shang Dao Ancestor. The Zhang family has always been called the descendants of the Confucian saints, not the Li family, so Qiniang has to recognize Zhang Yuelu even if she doesn't like Zhang Yuelu. There is no one better than Zhang Yuelu. Taoist companion.

Well, Xu Jiaorong's attitude is also very clear. She does not want her adopted son to have any interaction with Chen Jianqiu anymore. She will find a girl with an innocent family background for her adopted son, whether she is from a noble family or from the Wanxiang Dao Palace. Better than Chen Jianqiu, the husband and wife work together, support each other, follow the steps, and slowly climb the ladder.

Chen Jianqiu was dissatisfied with Chen Jianqiu's tricks to confuse him, and he was not willing to disobey his adoptive mother who had the kindness to be reborn. His response at this time was also reasonable.

The smile on Chen Jianqiu's face slowly froze and then disappeared.

Chen Jianchou didn't say anything. He was an upright man, not a dog under a woman's skirt. He also had dignity. It's not that if you tease me, I'll beg for mercy, and it's not that I will be unprincipled and tolerant of whatever you do.

The saying that men should be more generous and men should let women take over is very unequal.

Do you look down on women? Why let it?

Chen Jianqiu took a deep breath and smiled again: "It was my fault in the past. I didn't understand you as a person at that time, so..."

Chen Jianchou interrupted softly: "What happened in the past is in the past. I understand the princess's difficulties and difficulties. There is no need for the princess to explain or apologize."

Chen Jianqiu looked at Chen Jianchou, his eyes gradually dimming.

Chen Jianchou did not look at her: "Princess Princess, the second seat is still waiting."

Chen Jianqiu's smile was forced: "Second seat, please follow me."

[I stayed up late recently and fell asleep. 】
