Chapter 35 Zhou Dizhi

Qi Niang has been paying close attention to the operation of the thirty-six formations.

As the emperor's personal army corresponding to the great master's personal army, it should not be underestimated.

As we all know, since the rise of Confucianism, emperors in the past have always possessed the dual attributes of gods and man.

As the part of God, it is called the Emperor. In the concept of Neo-Confucianism, "Heavenly Law" is the highest god. The Emperor is the agent of the Heavenly Law in the human world, that is, the "chief high priest" in the entire Confucian system. Therefore, the emperor is equivalent to half of the leader of the Confucian school.

As a mortal part, the role of the emperor as the lord of the subjects, that is, the traditional king.

The Taoist sect is very wary of this point. In the process of de-Confucianism, they directly deprived the emperor of their identity and the great master took away the power of sacrifice. This is reasonable. The supreme god of the Taoist sect is "the great way" rather than "the law of nature", so naturally they cannot be generalized. In the role of traditional kings, the great master sect also acts like the "emperor's father", so the court is called the Lower Dao Sect.

Until Qin Quanshu got to power, he was in the midst of an internal sect and the position of the great master was empty. Qin Quanshu seized the opportunity and not only took back his real power as the emperor, but also restored a lot of the power of the emperor and received support from the Confucians.

Under such circumstances, Qin Quanshu reorganized some of the Qingluan Guards and the Imperial Army of the Beijing Camp into the Emperor's personal army, and his intention was obvious.

All of these emperors' personal troops are elite. It is naturally a huge waste to let them perform such a death mission, and Qi Niang feels distressed when she sees it. However, she has to listen to the sound of spending money, and the effect is still immediate. Even if Qi Niang has been strictly guarding, three large formations have been destroyed.

At the same time, a suspicion array was also detonated, causing the emperor's personal army to lose a lot of manpower.

Although the overall impact is not great, Qi Niang can no longer allow these emperors' personal soldiers to continue to do whatever they want. After all, she has already praised Haikou in front of Qi Xuansu. If she really wants to mess it up, she will not mislead the matter. This old face fell to the ground and smashed it to pieces. So she has ordered the launch of Plan B to wipe out all these emperors' personal soldiers.

Recently, the first-rank spiritual officials have suffered serious losses. Jiazi Lingguan, Dingmao Lingguan, and Jiashen Lingguan have had accidents one after another. Jiashen Lingguan is the first to have an accident and is forced to retire. Cihang asked Xu Lingguan to take over. Jiazi Lingguan had an accident. Qi Xuansu promoted the original Jiachen Lingguan to become the leader of the spiritual official, but the position of Jiachen Lingguan was suspended again.

So Zhang Yuelu promoted Zhou Dizhi to take over as Jiachen Spiritual Officer.

The new Jiachen spirit official also followed Qi Xuansu to war, but when he passed by Shuzhou Dao Mansion, Qi Xuansu was left by Qi Niang.

The name Zhou Dizhi is a bit unfamiliar to Yujing, but in the eyes of those who know the inside story, he has always been closely related to the three of the Grand Master's family and is the confidant of the Grand Master's couple. His promotion is actually reasonable.

This can be traced back to when Qi Xuansu became the chief vice-president of the Borneo Dao Palace. At that time, Qi Xuansu and Wang Jiaohe fought with the help of Wang Jiaohe. In order to put pressure on Qi Xuansu, Wang Jiaohe joined forces with Westerners to launch a massive demonstration in Lion City. Xie Jiaofeng was a ruthless person and panic. Qi Xuansu personally came forward to appease and suppress the situation, and finally calmed down the situation.

At that time, the leader of the spiritual official in Tianfu Palace was Zhou Dizhi.

In this incident, Zhou Dizhi performed excellently and executed the orders decisively and thoroughly, thus entering Qi Xuansu's sight. When Qi Xuansu was about to step down as the chief vice-president of the Borneo Dafu, he recommended Zhou Dizhi to the Lan Dashi who was the master of the government. Lan Dashi promoted Zhou Dizhi to the second-rank spiritual official in the name of the master of the government.

Zhang Yuelu took over Qi Xuansu, and both of them were one. Zhang Yuelu not only would not reject the people left by Qi Xuansu, but would instead reuse the people left by Qi Xuansu. So Zhou Dizhi became Zhang Yuelu's subordinate again and followed Zhang Yuelu's orders.

At this time, Qi Xuansu became the chief deputy director of Beichen Hall and went to the southern continent as a special envoy of the Taoist sect. Xiao Yin could only follow Zhang Yuelu. So during this period, Zhou Dizhi had a lot of dealing with Xiao Yin, and after a while, the two of them became familiar with each other.

There is a very interesting phenomenon: whether you have become a member of Qi Xuansu's core circle and how your relationship with Xiao Yin is a weather vane. In other words, as long as you are recognized by Xiao Yin, it basically means that you have become a member of this core circle.

When Zhang Yuelu stepped down and became the chief deputy director of Tiangang Hall, Zhang Yuelu naturally transferred Zhou Dizhi to Tiangang Hall, and Zhou Dizhi thus started the road to the sky.

When Qi Xuansu became the leader of the first rank spiritual officials were vacant, Zhang Yuelu was ordered to reorganize the army as the wife of the leader of the leader. Zhang Yuelu was originally from Tiangang Hall and had a great say in the appointment and removal of first rank spiritual officials. It was basically determined by one word. Neither Cihang nor Qi Xuansu would easily reject Zhang Yuelu's decision.

With the background of promoting loyalty, Zhang Yuelu must promote a person who is aware of his own. Xu Lingguan has already served as the Jiashen Lingguan, so Zhou Dizhi became the most suitable candidate and was able to overcome the most critical threshold in the spiritual official system, and promoted from a second-rank spiritual official to a new Jiashen Lingguan, and ranked among the twelve first-rank spiritual officials.

Anyway, the ability of the Spirit Official mainly comes from the Spirit Official Armor itself. As long as it can withstand the corresponding level of the Spirit Official Armor, it will definitely be able to exert its corresponding cultivation, and at most it will be a process of adapting and running-in.

Therefore, following the right person is very important. Zhou Dizhi started out as a third-rank border spirit official. The immediate boss of the immediate boss was Jiayin spirit official. According to the original trajectory, he would never be able to go to Yujing in his life. The most likely he would be to withdraw from the spiritual official team with the treatment of a second-rank spirit official. However, because he followed the right person, he became a first-rank spirit official in just a few years and was on par with Jiayin spirit official. Considering his age, it is even possible to go further.

In the face of the general trend, personal efforts seem insignificant.

At this time, Qi Niang was in charge of Tiancang Mountain and did not intend to take action personally. She also had to beware of the existence of the immortal level. Both sides restrained each other. If you don’t take action, I won’t take action. It’s equivalent to Duizi, letting the people below fight. In the past many years, the Tianshi and the National Master have been doing this. They are known as old enemies and have basically never really fought. It was not until this time that the two of them had a good fight.

After receiving the order from Qi Niang, Zhou Dizhi led his spiritual officials to a formation. By chance, this formation was exactly the one that Qi Xuansu personally inspected. After a small group of emperors sneaked into Shuzhou in batches, they met one after another and decided to take action against this formation. The reason was relatively simple. This was a must-pass place for leaving Shu and Qin, and the location was relatively important. If this formation could be destroyed, even if it could not completely affect the overall situation, it would have resulted in relatively greater results.

Qi Niang's order is very simple. Whether the formation can be kept does not matter. We must take this opportunity to wipe out this personal army of the emperor and destroy the Qin-Li Alliance's vital forces behind the Taoist sect to the greatest extent. We must not affect the frontal situation of the great master sect.

The leader of the Emperor's personal army was the former general of military affairs of the Shuzhou Admiral.

After the Battle of Yujing, the system of men in black south of the river was almost completely collapsed. On the one hand, the Taoist sect had a great momentum, and on the other hand, the people in black themselves lacked fighting spirit. When the Taoist sect wanted to adapt the men in black into Taoist priests or spiritual officials, the people in black basically had no feelings, and even had a little joy.

In the past, the imperial court had always been the lower Taoist sect, but now it has been promoted from the lower Taoist sect to the upper Taoist sect, which is considered a promotion. After all, for so many years, the Dao Sect and the imperial court have always been a dual unit. Changing from the imperial court to the Dao Sect is like a change of garrison and a change of department.

As for the salary of the King, don’t be nonsense. The money of the first Taoist priest and the second Taoist priest are paid from the Taiping Money House. There is no private payment. The Taoist priest and the man in black have the same money.

So in the eyes of the man in black, they are all lords, and there are no thieves, who will do it for?

If the court fights back, then continue to do it for the court. This is not an invasion of foreign enemies and there is no moral burden. Can His Majesty the Emperor kill all the men in black? Who will defend the country for him?

However, the men in black in the middle and lower classes could think so, but the higher military officers could not think so. They still had to take sides, so they had to assist in the deputy generals, including the generals and the generals of the admirals, all retreated to the south of the river.

This time, the general general of the general of the military returned to Shuzhou, largely because he was familiar with the situation in Shuzhou, and only he knew about many of the business arrangements.
