Pawn Crossing the River

Xiao Yin slowly opened her eyes and felt a ray of sunlight falling on her face through the window. She closed her eyes subconsciously, but she soon remembered that she was no longer afraid of the sun.

However, Xiao Yin still did not rush to get up, but chose to stay in bed, sensing everything around her with her divergent consciousness. The wind was gentle and the sun was warm, and there was a faint sound of noise in the distance, giving off a festive atmosphere.

She had a long, long dream.

Dreamed about another her.

However, she is just a bystander. She doesn’t know what the dreamer is thinking or what the dreamer plans to do. She cannot control the dreamer. She just takes on the dreamer’s perspective, that’s all.

When I woke up, I only remembered some scattered fragments, but nothing else.

Moreover, these scattered fragments are still "fading" rapidly, and they will soon be forgotten.

Is this Chunmeng Wuhen?

No matter how much it is, just forget it. Xiao Yin doesn’t know what it means to be sad for spring and sad for autumn. On the contrary, Yu Jing is like spring all year round. Xiao Yin remembers a poem that seems to be called "spring sleeps late", anyway, it is One thing is, spring is suitable for sleeping.

Xiao Yin is not like people like Qi Xuansu who often don't sleep for more than ten days. She has to go to bed on time every day.

Whatever he said, Xiao Yin felt a little drowsy again.

Sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, hibernating and taking a nap in summer.

At this moment, Xiao Yin suddenly heard someone talking outside.

One voice was Lao Qi: "Aren't you awake yet? Wu Niang said it's almost today."

Another voice said: "I just saw it once an hour ago. I haven't woken up yet, but there is nothing wrong with it. That sleeping posture, with its arms and legs spread out, is full of snot."

This voice is Lao Lin!

Under normal circumstances, Lao Lin is always reticent, but there are some exceptions when it comes to Xiao Yin.

But what Lao Lin said is right. Xiao Yin never curls up when sleeping, nor does she behave like a lady. She has nothing to do with Sleeping Beauty, but stretches out into a "big" character, which is in line with Xiao Yin's temperament.

Hearing Lao Lin's voice, Xiao Yin jumped out of bed, ran outside without putting on her shoes.

"Old Lin!" Xiao Yin shouted and threw herself into Lin Yuanmiao's arms.

Lin Yuanmiao's expressionless face finally showed a soft smile: "The stage of creation is about to catch up with me."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Just wake up, I won't disturb you two and reminisce about the past."

After saying that, Qi Xuansu turned and left.

The wedding is coming, and Qi Xuansu is very busy.

Zhang Yuelu has officially been appointed as the chief deputy head of Tiangang Hall, Yao Pei has also been appointed as the chief deputy head of Ziwei Hall, and together with Li Changge, the chief of Beichen Hall who is far away in the southern continent, it can be regarded as the return of the three talents of the Taoist sect, with Li Changge standing out.

Qi Xuansu is still far away from the three shows of Taoism. The difference is that in the past, Qi Xuansu followed behind and chased desperately, but now Qi Xuansu is far ahead.

After all, the difference between Zhenzhi Zhenren and Zhenzhen is still very big. It can even be said to be a qualitative change. Zhenzhen Zhenren loses his position and becomes an idle Zhenzhen. Zhenzhi Zhenren still has considerable power without his position. Of course, he is far ahead.

There weren't many twists and turns after Zhang Yuelu took office.

First of all, Master Zhangtang is Master Cihang. He is Zhang Yuelu’s master and Zhang Yuelu’s only boss and will not embarrass her. Secondly, Zhang Yuelu is also an old face in Tiangang Hall. He is familiar with the situation here and is not afraid of being deceived by his subordinates. Her return to Tiangang Hall this time was like going home.

To put it bluntly, when promoting young people, the superiors have to worry about the influence and the public opinion. They cannot achieve success in one step, but in a spiral.

It is necessary to have the achievements and connections of the Yujing Taoist Hall, as well as the grassroots experience and chief executive experience of the local Taoist government. The final result is outstanding ability, a complete resume, a young man who is in the prime of life, and is in the prime of life.

Qi Xuansu went one step further than Zhang Yuelu. Not only did he work together, but he also went to the "brother" Taoist hall to experience it, and did it all in the three halls. I went to the local government to fight tigers and also took charge of economic and trade development. The key is his military exploits. He not only participated in the Fenglinzhou War as a middle-level person, directly taking the lead in the battle, but also participated in the North-South War in the New World as a high-level person, participating in commanding some battles and intelligence work.

What's this? This is both civil and military.

Now, Qi Xuansu has to make up for his retreat skills, and then he will take charge of the government, take charge of the Taoist government, and then climb to the top of the Taoist hall.

In the end, only people like Zhenren Donghua and Zhenwei were left to personally lead the army as masters in charge and coordinate the overall situation.

Such a resume cannot be described as complete, it is almost perfect. No one can fault him. Looking at the past dynasties, it can be said that he was a general and a prime minister.

Of course, there is another consideration above. To use young people, they must have experience at the grassroots level. They have to go all the way. It is not just gold plating, nor formality, nor reminiscing about hardships, but letting them be familiar with the process. At the very least, they know how the Taoist sect operates. At the same time, from low to high Have high contact with people in different positions and understand the mentality and personality of people in different positions and what they are probably thinking. When you become a decision-maker in the future, you must at least be aware of it and not be fooled by people below.

You can also form your own team. Along the way, Qi Xuansu's team has grown step by step, not overnight.

If the little emperor was born at the hands of a woman in the deep palace, he would really be out of this world. If he was not a person with extraordinary talents, he would really be played by the Gongun princes.

Therefore, the Daxuan emperors of the past dynasties have never been the opponents of the great masters of the past dynasties. Even if the power gap between the Taoist sect and the imperial court is not taken into account, in terms of personal ability, the emperor has been severely suppressed by the great masters. The growth and experience systems of the two sides are completely different. , The great leader may have shortcomings, but there are no mediocre people, and mediocre people cannot complete this process.

It wasn't until the Sixth Generation Grand Master, a good old man under special circumstances, came to power, and the Daxuan court finally gave birth to a gifted emperor, the Emperor Jiushi, that the situation between the two parties became loose.

Emperor Daxuan began to test the bottom line of Dao Sect, and even the offensive and defensive momentum was different.

There have been eleven emperors from Daxuan to the current emperor. Although the current emperor corresponds to seven generations of disciples of the Taoist sect, even if you include Emperor Gaozu, who is one generation higher than Xuansheng, it is only eight generations. However, there have been several emperors in the meantime. The reasons for the elimination of heirs are sometimes because the emperor's cultivation level is too high and it is difficult to give birth to a bloodline. There are also emperors who left home and turned to Taoism. There are also emperors who died early. In short, there have been several cases where the throne has been transferred between the same generation, so the eight generations Eleven emperors were born.

Of these eleven emperors, six queens were from the Li family. The current Queen Mother was from the Li family. According to seniority, she was the niece of the Imperial Master and the cousin of Zhenren Qingwei. The current emperor, the late Empress Yuan, was also from the Li family and was the niece of the Queen Mother. Li Tianqing and Li Tianyue were both of this generation.

Of course, there are many princesses who have married into the Li family, and the most recent one is Princess Chiying.

It's just that the reputation of being a descendant of Dao Ancestor, a descendant of Xuan Sheng, and the first family of Dao Sect is too dazzling, which makes people ignore that the Li family also has another identity - the largest relative of the Daxuan court.

This important identity is also the least mentioned by the Li family, and it is still ranked behind the descendants of Daqi, because it seems that the Li family is dependent on the Qin family, which does not sound good! The Li family cannot afford to lose this person. The two parties are well-matched. Girls from the Li family do not marry up, and the princess does not marry down.

Ordinary families would enjoy endless amounts of these names if they could get just one of them, but the Li family could gather them all into one, making the world envious.

But having said that, starting from Xuansheng, this marriage relationship that lasted for two hundred years was indeed the cornerstone of the alliance between the two parties.

Li Ruoshui went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother as usual today. Calculating her seniority, Li Ruoshui should be the same generation as Qingwei Zhenren and one generation higher than Li Tianqing, so she and the current Queen Mother are sisters.

However, the seniority between the two families is generally not calculated carefully. It would be too messy. For example, the seniority of Li Changge and Princess Chiying is not a matter of grandfather and granddaughter, but of the great-grandfather. It can only be discussed in real terms. If you are not sure, just use the official Taoist name.

Therefore, Qingwei Zhenren, Li Changge and others directly addressed the Queen Mother as "Queen Mother" when they met her. Li Changge can't call the Queen Mother niece, and the Queen Mother calls Li Changge grandson-in-law. That would be too messy, even more messy than the relationship between Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei's cousins ​​and senior sisters.

Li Ruoxing often came to the palace mainly to talk to the Queen Mother and to get closer to her. She was also a frequent visitor.

Taishang Taoist Patriarch said: "In the past, when one got one, the sky would be clear, the earth would be peaceful, the gods would be spiritual, the grains would be full, all things would be alive, and the princes would be able to make the world one or two. Zhen.”

The emperor's position is extremely high, and it is called the only one, which means the only one in the sky. When the clear air rises, it is called the sky, and when the turbid air falls, it is called the earth. Therefore, the sky becomes clear, which means that the emperor is the only and most noble one in the world. Yes, his residence was named Tianqing Palace.

In addition, there are Dining Palace, Shenling Palace, Guying Palace, Wansheng Palace, Tianzhen Palace and so on.

Among them, Dining Palace is the queen's dormitory, Wansheng Palace is the queen mother's dormitory, and Tianzhen Palace is the East Palace in the traditional sense, so the name Li Tianzhen is very interesting.

The Queen Mother's palace is naturally full of royal style, with all kinds of exquisite and precious objects, which is dizzying. In comparison, the Taoist palace can really be called "frugal".

At that time, the Imperial Master made the decision to marry the Queen Mother to the late Emperor.

Speaking of the late emperor, he was also a tragic figure. He just happened to catch up with the "good times" of the Fifth Generation Grand Master. Even among the great Masters of the Tao Sect, the Fifth Generation Grand Master was one of the most powerful. Even the three deputy Grand Masters Even the real people have been replaced by him, and now the third division does not dare to oppose him, which shows his tyranny.

Naturally, the great masters of the Five Dynasties would not let go of the Daxuan court. They repeatedly interfered in court affairs. The restructuring of Taiping Bank and the strengthening of Taoist leadership were just the tip of the iceberg. The late emperor dared to be angry but dared not speak out in the face of the five great masters. He was depressed in his heart. Instead, he fueled the arrogance of the Three Corpse Gods and aggressively attacked lives. He was unable to be saved with medicine or stone, and eventually died early.

So Emperor Jiushi ascended the throne at a young age and changed his name to Jiushi. At that time, the Queen Mother was not yet fifty years old.

In the blink of an eye, it was the forty-sixth year of Jiu Wang, and Emperor Jiu Wang was already in his sixties.

The Queen Mother is also very old.

When people grow old, in addition to caring about their children and grandchildren, they also reminisce about the past.

The Queen Mother talked about Princess Chiying for a long time, and suddenly said: "I dreamed about the late Emperor yesterday."

Li Ruoshui was startled.

The Queen Mother continued: "The late emperor told me that he was not willing to accept it and could not swallow this breath."

Li Ruoshui felt a chill on his back and did not dare to speak rashly.
