Qi Xuansu plans to start with Wang Danqing, but if there are other clues, he will not refuse. A two-pronged approach may have better results.
"Starting from tomorrow, I will visit the various prefectures and counties below to understand the situation. This is the practice of each government. In this way, regarding the matter you mentioned, I will ask the person in charge below to do some preliminary investigations.
I will make further calculations after I come back from below." Qi Xuansu said.
Chen Jianqiu looked at Qi Muyu.
Qi Muyu nodded slightly, "Qi Cixi is right, this is indeed the practice of the Taoist sect. For people like them who are 'frontier', after taking office, they must first go around to understand the specific situation of each place, and then be aware of it.
Only then can we start our work. If you stay in the Taoist mansion and don't go out, you will be criticized by others."
Chen Jianqiu could only say, "Thank you so much for the banquet."
Logically speaking, outsiders should not call Qi Xuansu's position, which is a title within the Taoist sect. However, Qi Xuansu has not yet been promoted to a real person, so calling him a real person is a bit early, and calling him a high-gong seems low. Many outsiders simply call Qi Xuansu his position directly.
Already.
Qi Xuansu got up to see off the guests.
Qi Muyu glanced at Qi Xuansu again before leaving, "Qi Cixi, you haven't forgotten what we talked about in Yujing last time, right?"
Qi Xuansu asked, "Has Fellow Daoist Qi seen the person I mentioned?"
"Huan Ji, I met her once in Lingnan. As for Qiniang, I haven't met her yet." Qi Muyu said honestly, "To be honest, Qiniang is not someone I want to meet."
Qi Xuansu smiled, "Then please be patient, fellow Taoist Qi. I can't see Qiniang at any time. It mainly depends on her mood."
Qi Muyu sighed.
As a seventh-generation disciple and a core figure of the Qi family, she certainly knew about Qiniang's existence. She also probably knew that Qiniang was the son of the Yao family and was the same type of person as her, but there was a big difference in size between the two.
There was nothing she could do against Qiniang. After all, Qiniang was a difficult figure for even Master Donghua, and someone who forced Master Cihang to give in.
After Qi Muyu left, Qi Xuansu told Ke Qingqing, "After the banquet, please ask Mr. Lu and Mr. Han to come to my signing room. In addition, I would like to ask Assistant Xu if she has time. I would like to meet her. Details
The time is up to her."
Generally speaking, the secretary's time does not belong to him, so if Qi Xuansu wants to see Xu Jiaorong, he must accommodate Xu Jiaorong's time and wait until she is free. In the same way, if others want to see Ke Qingqing, they must wait until Ke Qingqing decides according to Qi Xuansu's schedule.
Make time for it in your schedule.
Ke Qingqing nodded in agreement.
Qi Xuansu
Leave the lounge and return to the banquet hall.
By the time the guests left, it was already midnight, and Qi Xuansu returned to his pledge room. According to Xu Jiaorong, the Water Palace is the territory of Master Landa, and no one else can reach in, so Qi Xuansu can rest assured and don't have to worry.
Even if someone is spying or doing anything else, Ke Qingqing's safety will be guaranteed if he stays here.
Qi Xuansu naturally believed this, but he still arranged some photo stones and voice charms in his signing room to prevent accidents. If someone wanted to frame him in the future, this was also a means of self-protection or counterattack.
As for the residence, that is the top priority. Qi Xuansu has made it clear that no one is allowed in, including the Taoist people arranged by the Taoist government. The specific daily affairs are nothing more than half an hour's extra work. He is responsible for it himself.
, he has been in the world for so many years, but he still has the basic ability to take care of himself and does not need to be taken care of by others.
Also, unless Zhang Yuelu is visiting, other female Taoist priests, including Ke Qingqing, are not allowed to enter. The reception room is right next to the signing room.
There are too many eyes on him now, and there are countless people who want to bring him down and make him look bad, so we have to guard against him.
And as a lesson learned from the past, how was Qi Xuansu’s predecessor, the previous deputy deputy palace master, transferred? In fact, it is very simple. He just couldn’t control himself and fell into a beauty trap. Although the master of Lan Da can ensure that others cannot put their hands in
Water Palace, but it can’t stop the people in the Water Palace from taking the bait and going out on their own initiative.
Afterwards, the female Taoist priest took the bloody sheets and sued Wang Jiaohe directly. He couldn't defend himself. Although Master Lan Da helped him suppress the matter on the grounds that it would have a negative impact, it was not easy for him to continue to stay.
The Borneo Taoist government can only transfer away. Otherwise, if Wang Jiaohe grasps such a big handle, will it be flattened and rounded by Wang Jiaohe? There are only two endings, either to join in the evil, or to become a useless person.
How can a puppet have the confidence to contain Wang Jiaohe?
Don't think that this method is too cheap or naive, and you don't think you are afraid of it because you think that the second-ranked person is already in a state of cultivation. In fact, this method is the easiest to use. If you are just a figure in the world, then there is really no need.
I'm afraid, but if it's within the three religions, it would be a big deal. What about the Neo-Confucian saints back then? Didn't they stumble on this? Nothing can be done out of thin air, let alone others who have seized the evidence.
.
Ke Qingqing has prepared tea for Qi Xuansu, which is specially used to remove alcohol odor inside the Taoist sect. At the same time, he said, "Xu
The assistant manager may be a little late, he has to wait until the conversation between Da Zhenren and Chief Yao is over, it will probably be midnight."
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly, "I understand. Let's invite Mr. Lu and Mr. Han to come over first."
Ke Qingqing took the order and left.
Lu Yuting and Han Yongfeng, who had been waiting outside, came to Qi Xuansu's signing room together.
Qi Xuansu motioned for the two of them to sit down and said straight to the point, "I invite you here mainly to explain the recent specific tasks. Starting from tomorrow, I will start a half-month tour of local prefectures and counties to understand the specific conditions in various parts of Borneo. My
The idea is to travel light and simple, it is best to see some real situations, so there should not be too many people. Two of you, one will accompany me down, and the other will stay here at the Taoist government to help me touch the others.
Make sure you know the details of your affairs well."
Lu Yuting and Han Yongfeng looked at each other.
Han Yongfeng said, "I am from a local government. I have worked in Liaodong Province before. I am quite familiar with these local affairs. How about I accompany you down?"
Lu Yuting had no objection, "I will stay with the Taoist government and get acquainted with the directors of Huasheng Hall first, and try to open a breakthrough from here."
She has no experience in serving in a local government, so she cannot compare with Han Yongfeng in this regard. She previously worked in Huashengtang. There is also a branch of Huashengtang in the Borneo Province. She started from the branch of Huashengtang.
It's not too difficult, and it's not too noticeable.
Qi Xuansu said, "Then it's settled. You guys drank a lot today, go back and rest early."
"Second seat, you should go to bed early. We are leaving." The two of them left the signing room.
Qi Xuansu drank the tea, took out some "immortality wine" given by Master Donghua, blended several elixirs with non-conflicting medicinal properties, drank it slowly, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair.
Master Donghua, Master Qingwei, and Master Cihang have not reached the stage of immortality for a long time. Although there are reasons for laying a solid foundation, the main reason is that they are delayed by various secular affairs. This is also something that cannot be helped. If you want to concentrate on Qing cultivation
, then at best you can be a great person in Pingzhang. If you want to go further, you must take care of the secular affairs.
In this case, time is extremely precious. We must seize all the time to practice. In addition to replacing sleep with practice, we must also learn to practice in leisurely times, such as when riding a flying boat, such as when waiting for someone. Let alone a few hours.
, even if it takes half an hour, you have to grasp it, and the little things add up to the big things.
Qi Xuansu naturally took advantage of using "Xuanyu", but in addition to using "Xuanyu", he cannot neglect his own cultivation.
After all, he has improved his qualifications twice in a row, and his training efficiency has been greatly improved.
Time passed slowly, and less than half an hour before midnight, Ke Qingqing walked in gently, "Second seat, Assistant Xu is here."
Qi Xuansu opened his eyes, stood up and said, "Please come quickly."
After a while, Xu Jiaorong walked into Qi Xuansu's signing room.
The first impression this female assistant gave to Qi Xuansu was that she was dignified, intellectual, and capable. He who puts his mind to the best of his ability knows his nature. It is said that he knows the goodness of his nature.
"It's already so late, I'm really sorry to have to bother Assistant Xu to come over." Qi Xuansu said first.
Xu Jiaorong smiled slightly, "Qi Cixi came to me so late, there must be something very important."
"Let's sit down and talk." Qi Xuansu did not sit behind the desk as before, but changed to a relatively equal living room.
This is the difference between subordinates and allies.
There is no absolute equality in the world.
The two sat opposite each other across the coffee table, and Ke Qingqing was busy serving tea to them.
Qi Xuansu roughly recounted what happened to Chen Jianqiu.
Xu Jiaorong said thoughtfully, "I have heard about this matter, but Chief Chen is the sister of the leader of the Dayu Kingdom. Since she is already responsible for this matter, we can't intervene rashly. Qi Cixi also thinks there is something fishy in this?"
"
Qi Xuansu said, "I think this is an opportunity. But as Xu Fuli said, we shouldn't intervene rashly. It's best to feel the situation in secret first. I'm new here, and there aren't many people I can trust. The people around me don't know much about Shenglong Mansion."
The situation is far from familiar, so I wanted to ask Assistant Manager Xu for help."
Xu Jiaorong was not in a hurry to give Qi Xuansu an answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.
Qi Xuansu did not urge him, but just waited quietly. He believed that this secretary, who ranked first among the many secretaries in the Borneo Taoist government, was still very energetic and could not be a vase.
After a while, Xu Jiaorong said, "I do have a suitable candidate, but he is not from our Taoist government, but a military attache from Dayu Kingdom."
Qi Xuansu only asked, "Is it reliable?"
Xu Jiaorong said, "I have been kind to him, and he is also a person who knows how to repay kindness."
Qi Xuansu said, "As long as he is reliable enough, it will be better if he is not from the Borneo Taoist Government. He will not attract too much attention. What is this person's name?"
Xu Jiaorong said, "This man's name is Chen Jianchou."
