Pawn Crossing the River

cAlthough Wang Jiaohe and his group had made some arrangements and preparations beforehand, it has to be said that Qi Xuansu's sense of smell was too keen and he directly caught the biggest loophole, which was the procedural issue.

If there are still doubts about Chen Jianchou's identity as a high-quality Taoist priest, there is no doubt about his position as secretary and his identity as a hero. This means that Chen Jianchou has a special status and even holds certain secrets. As Xie Jiaofeng said, will it involve leaks and influence issues? Even if you can arrest people without asking for permission, you should always say hello, otherwise the Taoist government will not know anything and will fall into great passivity.

The nature of this matter is similar to that of reporting to a higher level, both of which are taboo.

The reason why Wang Jiaohe made such a mistake was mainly because of habit, or path dependence. In the past, it was all Wang Jiaohe's fault, and no one cared about this procedural issue. In fact, this is also a common phenomenon, and it is not just the Borneo Taoist government that does this. Even Qi Xuansu does not always follow the procedures and will go beyond the procedures to pursue results. The key is that such matters cannot be discussed on the table.

It's just that if it doesn't go on the scale, it won't weigh four ounces, and if it goes on the scale, it won't weigh a thousand kilograms.

Qi Xuansu is a pragmatist. He occupies the moral high ground not because he wants to show off how noble he is, but because it is easier to attack the enemy on the high ground.

Now that Qi Xuansu has brought this matter to the table for discussion, it is on the scale.

Don't worry about whether Qi Xuansu has done this before. If others haven't seen it or been caught, it just doesn't happen. If you, the branch of Beichen Hall, did this, but were caught doing it and made a big fuss about it, you would have fallen into a trough and been condescendingly attacked.

This is the struggle.

As a result, Wang Jiaohe suddenly fell into passivity.

Wang Jiaohe didn't expect that he would be so passive. If he didn't speak, it would be difficult for others to come out and wave the flag.

Of course Wang Jiaohe wanted to speak, but how? Every word Qi Xuansu said was consistent with his identity and made sense. Therefore, Wang Jiaohe finally decided not to refute Qi Xuansu from the front.

Of course, the struggle in the Taoist government is not just about being eloquent, nor about being reasonable. The key is still the word "potential".

If Qi Xuansu hadn't represented Jinque and had the support of Jiang Dazhen behind him, and if Qi Xuansu hadn't repeatedly attacked Wang Jiaohe's faction, causing the wind to change and the wallflowers to turn around, then even if Qi Xuansu had the truth, he might not have been able to win. It is not impossible to reverse yin and yang and reverse right and wrong.

Qi Xuansu now has the advantage and the moral high ground. Naturally, he is coming with the general trend and is unstoppable.

This "potential" is like realm cultivation. Without the support of realm cultivation, no matter how powerful the magical power is, it will not be able to exert its power.

At this time, Wang Jiaohe was in a dilemma.

If you retreat, of course it's easy, just let Chen Jianchou go immediately. But there is a problem here. If Wang Jiaohe retreats, it will be equivalent to voluntarily admitting defeat. Just as Wang Jiaoying said, the hearts of the people below will really be scattered. Wang Jiaohe's time in the Borneo Taoist Mansion has completely passed.

If Wang Jiaohe refuses to retreat and admit defeat, then it is a desperate move.

Even if the procedure is wrong, we must confirm the matter before releasing him, or let Chen Jianchou take the initiative to plead guilty, no matter what method is used. Or catch Chen Jianqiu directly.

Qi Xuansu also took this into consideration, so he directly arranged for Chen Jianqiu to go to Lion City. With the Yuheng Star Master there, safety should still be guaranteed.

However, it cannot be taken lightly. Qi Xuansu decided that after the discussion was over, he would tell Zhang Yuelu to pay attention to the situation in Lion City - Zhang Yuelu was not from Yujing, nor from the Borneo Taoist Prefecture, but from the Lingnan Taoist Prefecture, so the meal should be shared. , so she did not attend the Taoist meeting, but returned to Lion City with Wang Jiaoyan and other prisoners. On the contrary, as people from Yujing, Li Changge, Li Zhuyu and others could attend the meeting.

No matter what, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu always had to leave one person to take charge of Lion City. When Qi Xuansu was in Lion City, Zhang Yuelu was in Shenglong Mansion. Now that Qi Xuansu came to Shenglong Mansion, Zhang Yuelu returned to Lion City.

Qi Xuansu estimated that Wang Jiaohe would not admit defeat so easily and would have a chance to fight.

But when it comes to level, Qi Xuansu is still a young man. After some manipulation, he finally settled on Chen Jianchou's matter, which was still within the scope of discussing the matter.

Master Jiang Da is different. What is Da Zhenren Pingzhang who is second only to the Third Master?

Just when the discussion fell into silence, Jiang Dazhen, who was sitting at the main seat, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then tapped the table with his fingers to attract others' attention, and said: "Chief Qi said very profoundly, don't I think this is a trivial matter, but to put it more seriously, it is a conspiracy. When doing things, you must engage in intrigues, not conspiracy. However, some people are keen on conspiracy and deceit. This is a trick. I believe that it is not difficult to investigate such a case. But is it enough to treat a headache but not the root cause? "

"I don't know, looking at the entire Borneo Taoist government, and even the entire Taoist sect, how many such things are there? It seems to be quite a few. Can such a case be investigated and solved, can the entire trend be changed? I think it is not possible. Since it can't, then Just discussing the matter has little meaning, and it is not worthy of discussion at the Taoist meeting. "

"I am in charge of the government in my position. I am not the great master of the Taoist sect, and I cannot say what the Taoist sect is like. But now I am also the chief master of the Borneo Taoist House. As the chief master of the Borneo Taoist House, as far as the situation of the Borneo Taoist House is concerned, I , I want to express my opinion.”

"Chief Qi's secretary has been arrested. Should he be arrested? Is he guilty? Who should be in charge? How should he be in charge? Whether he should ask for instructions and report. There are rules and regulations to follow. We will not discuss it here too much. We will leave it to the person specifically responsible for this matter. Fellow Taoists, I won’t ask. However, as Chief Qi said, the Taoist government should attach great importance to the various issues surrounding this incident and be vigilant to see if this kind of chaos exists on a large scale. It’s not something we can say for sure here. It must be done through detailed and reliable investigation before we can truly determine it. After all, without investigation, we have no right to speak.”

"So, I suggest that after Cixi Xu comes back, she, the second deputy palace master in charge of the law, will take the lead in launching a large-scale in-depth investigation of the entire Taoist family. If there are mistakes, they will be punished, and if there are no mistakes, they will be rewarded. We must reward. We should avoid past mistakes and save others. We should not be vague and perfunctory, nor should we use excuses to retaliate. The scope of attack should be small, and the scope of education should be broad. "

As soon as these words came out, this was an excuse to rectify the entire Taoist mansion. This was digging into Wang Jiaohe's roots.

To put it another way, Jiang is old and spicy, but Qi Xuansu is still a little more tender in front of these sixth-generation disciples.

Qi Xuansu was greatly inspired by Jiang Dazhen's words and felt that he had benefited a lot.

The difference between him and Jiang Daren is not in the tactics, but in the mentality, which he lacks.

The farthest distance between people is the conceptual distance.

In addition, Qi Xuansu also admired this real Jiang Da. This was the person who truly occupied the high ground of morality and righteousness, which was completely different from the self-proclaimed way of occupying the moral high ground.

Since he occupies the moral high ground, not to mention the identity of the Grand Master and the Grand Master, even if he does not have these two identities, he cannot object rashly.

Therefore, after Jiang Dazhen's words fell, no one raised any objection or refutation.

Those neutral factions who did not want to get involved in the dispute between the King and Chief Qi had to admit that Jiang Dazhen's words were right and expressed their support one after another.

If the two factions are at odds with each other, then the neutral faction will become very important. Whoever can win over the neutral faction will be the final winner. This is not inconsistent with the fact that neutrals will eventually fall to the winner. The two are different perspectives of the same fact.

Master Jiang Da looked at Wang Jiaohe and directly called him by name: "Master Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Jiaohe's face was quite calm, but it was like a moment of peace before the storm, and he said slowly: "I have no objection."

"Since everyone has no objections, then the matter has been settled." Master Jiang Dazhen said to Xu Jiaorong again: "Xu Cixi, after you come back from Dongpo Suazhou, organize the people and come up with a detailed strategy. , send a copy to me. It just so happens that the Taoist friends from the main hall of Beichen Hall and the main hall of Fengxian Hall are here. If you don’t understand anything or are unsure about something, you can ask them for advice. Don’t make any mistakes. ”

Xu Jiaorong responded seriously: "Yes."

Jiang Dazhen looked around for a week again: "Let's leave it like this. After Xu Cixi's thorough investigation has come to an end and the results are available, we will discuss this matter again. Now, let's start the next topic, the damage caused by this storm The impact of a major disaster, how to prevent the occurrence of large-scale epidemics, and post-disaster resettlement, pensions, and reconstruction. Chief Qi, you are the deputy palace chief in charge of this matter, please tell me."

"Okay." Qi Xuansu responded. He had just looked through the files in this area. After all, in a sense, this was his main responsibility and business as the chief deputy palace master.

Qi Xuansu opened the file in front of him again and said: "According to preliminary statistics, the area affected by the disaster reaches..."

Various sounds gradually fade away.

Wang Jiaohe was still sitting in his seat, and everything around him became hazy. A layer of fog seemed to be shrouded in front of his eyes, including Qi Xuansu and Jiang Hedao, everything became blurry.

Their voices came in fits and starts.

It seems that Wang Jiaohe has become independent in this world.

Wang Jiaohe deeply realized that with the cooperation of the old and the young, he had reached the edge of the cliff, with an abyss behind him.
