Qi Xuansu wanted to unite some forces, but it was obvious that Zheng Jiaohe was not someone he could unite with, so Qi Xuansu did not want to save face for him. "This is not nonsense, this is dereliction of duty."
Zheng Jiaohe looked at Qi Xuansu, "What does Qi Xuanxi mean?"
Qi Xuansu said unhurriedly, "The real person in charge is in charge of military affairs, the real person in charge is in charge of personnel, and the chief deputy is in charge of government affairs. As the second deputy, my responsibility is to be in charge of the law, including internal discipline, and to implement the laws of Jinque and Taoist mansions."
Will, supervise Taoist priests at all levels and enforce discipline."
Zheng Jiaohe had a smile on his face.
In the slang within the Taoist sect, the second deputy palace master is a whip, which can be summed up in two words: supervisor.
Qi Xuansu continued, "I don't have personnel power, so I can't remove this person from his post on the spot, but I always have the power to suspend him for reference. I will take the person away today, and I will ask Deputy Palace Master Zheng to list him, and then let others
I will take over my duties for the time being."
Zheng Jiaohe's back turned cold.
Tian Yongfen was able to become the Taoist priest in charge here, of course, not because he was very capable, but because he was good at figuring out the superior's intentions, could serve Zheng Jiaohe comfortably, and knew how to be filial, so he was regarded as Zheng Jiaohe's confidant.
If Tian Yongfen falls into the hands of Qi Xuansu, Zheng Jiaohe might be involved.
Of course Zheng Jiaohe couldn't let Qi Xuansu take the person away, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't this a bit unreasonable? Suspending him is not a crime, so it is better to let him stay here in the state palace."
Qi Xuansu said, "Although strictly speaking, this landowner is not guilty, but I already have evidence of the landowner's dereliction of duty. Why don't Deputy Governor Zheng take a look at it?"
While speaking, Ke Qingqing had already handed the photo stone to Qi Xuansu's hand.
Zheng Jiaohe glanced at the photo stone in Qi Xuansu's hand and said slowly, "I can trust Qi Cixian, so there is no need to look at it."
Qi Xuansu went on to say, "Deputy Palace Master Zheng must have heard about the defection of Qian Xiangyun, the former deputy palace owner of the Imperial Palace. I can even be regarded as half of the parties involved. The lessons learned from the past are not far away. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, I still
It would be better for me to take the person away. This is not a detention, but some preventive protection measures."
Zheng Jiaohe put his hands behind his back, held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and made a fist with his right hand.
This is his territory. If there is any conflict, he will have the upper hand.
At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded outside the door.
This is not the sound of one person's footsteps, but the sound of a group of people.
Zheng Jiaohe turned around suddenly and saw a dark area.
It's a spiritual official.
Naturally, there are spiritual officers guarding the mansion, but after seeing the spiritual officer named as the leader, they did not dare to take any action.
The first-grade Lingguan, the Dingchou Lingguan.
It is said that Landa Zhenren has two hands, representing two first-grade spiritual officials respectively. His right hand is clenched into a fist and he punches hard, and his left hand is
Then spread your five fingers apart and press Borneo inwards.
This Ding Chou Spirit Officer is the left hand of Master Lan Da.
Zheng Jiaohe's face became solemn.
It is a basic truth that the law must be supported by military force.
Qi Xuansu ordered, "Take it away."
Immediately, two spiritual officers came forward and lifted up the landowner who was lying on the ground, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Deputy Palace Master, Deputy Palace Master." Tian Yong looked at Zheng Jiaohe desperately, like a drowning man trying to hold on to the last straw.
Zheng Jiaohe did not look at him, but said, "Qi Cixian comes only rarely. I have already asked people to prepare a banquet to wash away the dust for Qi Cixian."
Qi Xuansu was noncommittal, "Drinking so early in the morning? It's not good. If others know about it, they still think that our sect is just a bunch of drunkards. We only drink and drink all day long. You think so, right? It's the landowner's job."
Tian Yongfeng was speechless.
Zheng Jiaohe smiled and said, "It's different, it's different. This is normal social etiquette. Even in ordinary people's homes, when guests come, they have to hold a banquet to entertain guests. It's human nature. If Qi Cixian doesn't agree, he is looking down on me."
Zheng."
Qi Xuansu glanced at him, "Well, since it's Deputy Palace Master Zheng's wish, I can't live up to it."
He looked at Lingguan Ding Chou again and said, "Let's go together."
Official Ding Chou did not refuse.
Zheng Jiaohe smiled and said, "Please, distinguished guest, move on."
The banquet was held at the State Palace. It was a big pomp, with more than a dozen people cheering in front and behind, all of whom were Taoist priests from the State Palace.
After some humility, Qi Xuansu insisted on letting Ding Chou Lingguan take the chief position. After all, he had not been promoted to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest and could not be compared with the first-grade Lingguan.
The Taoist sect respects the left. Since Ding Chou Lingguan sits in the center, logically speaking, Qi Xuansu should sit on the left as the second seat. At the very least, they must show courtesy to each other, but Zheng Jiaohe seems to have forgotten
In this case, I sat on the left seat without hesitation.
Zheng Jiaohe couldn't understand this truth, so he must have done it intentionally. Although he said it nicely, he was actually hostile to Qi Xuansu in his heart. Because of Tian Yongfen's incident, it could even be said that the two of them had become enemies, so he deliberately acted like this at this time.
This kind of contempt. Furthermore, he not only despised Qi Xuansu, but also showed a kind of disdain for the will represented by Qi Xuansu. He sent a Qi Xuansu and wanted to turn Borneo upside down? That is a dream.
Of course, the root of this disdain is still fear, so-called anger, but many years of ups and downs in the Taoist school have prevented him from slamming the table and scolding his mother like a gangster, or directly starting a fight, so after it was revealed in detail, it became like this
Awkward way.
very
Quick, the wine is being served.
At first glance, it turns out that they are all "drunk and dreaming of death".
You know, when Zhang Yuelu was not confirmed as the third-generation leader of the Zhang family, he couldn't even afford to drink this kind of wine. He could only think about it, but with a wave of his hand, Deputy Palace Master Zheng came directly to the four altars.
Qi Xuansu glanced at it and said, "It's a little too much."
Zheng Jiaohe said, "It's not too much. This 'Drunken Life and Dream of Death' is a wine specially reserved for real people. Qi Cixi is already the second seat at a young age. I think as long as he makes some achievements, the position of real person will be in his pocket. I think
With this real person’s wine, I wish fellow Taoist Qi to become a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest as soon as possible.”
This remark was thorny. First, it was pointed out that Qi Xuansu was only the second-ranking official, and it was also implied that Qi Xuansu was not yet a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.
Qi Xuansu didn't seem to hear the underlying meaning of Zheng Jiaohe's words: "Since Deputy Palace Master Zheng said so, it seems that I can't refuse too much."
Immediately someone filled Qi Xuansu's glass with wine.
Qi Xuansu raised his glass and took a symbolic sip.
Zheng Jiaohe immediately said in a strange tone, "It seems that fellow Taoist Qi looks down on me, Old Zheng, and is not willing to drink a glass of wine. Also, Qi Cixi is a young talent who is expected to compete for the great master, so naturally he cannot tolerate my level in his eyes."
figure."
Qi Xuansu said nothing.
If he had had his previous temper, he would have poured wine directly on this old boy's face, and then told him, I just look down on you, why are you not convinced?
But now that his status was different, Qi Xuansu wanted to be more restrained, so he drank all the wine in the cup and said, "I drank, but Deputy Palace Master Zheng didn't drink. So does Deputy Palace Master Zheng look down on me?"
Zheng Jiaohe relied on his realm and cultivation and drank it all in one gulp.
Next, Zheng Jiaohe picked up the wine glass again, "Fellow Daoist Qi not only represents the Taoist government, but also represents Jinque. That is the imperial envoy, an angel. He represents the superiors who come to inspect the inferiors. Those of us who are working below naturally have to drink together."
, let him say a few kind words for us."
After the words fell, everyone at the table raised their glasses together.
Official Ding Chou frowned slightly.
Qi Xuansu signaled Ding Chou Lingguan to calm down and didn't look at the people who were toasting. He just stared at Zheng Jiaohe, "Deputy Palace Master Zheng, don't you toast me?"
He has already seen that this Zheng Jiaohe wants to make him drunk and make a fool of himself in public, and then use it to make a fuss - even you, the second deputy palace master in charge of discipline, drink
He was drunk, so what was Tian Yongfen's crime? It wasn't even a crime at all.
If you yourself are not upright, how can you have the dignity to criticize others?
It has to be said that Zheng Jiaohe was quite quick-witted, and in such a short period of time, he came up with a way to exonerate Tian Yongfen.
Hearing what Qi Xuansu said, Zheng Jiaohe raised his glass.
The two drank again
.
Under Zheng Jiaohe's suggestion, a group of people began to toast in turn, and everyone's tongues were blooming. They said that Qi Xuansu looked down on them if he didn't drink this glass of wine, which chilled people's hearts.
If Zhang Yuelu were here, I'm afraid he would have overturned the table and made it clear that he looked down on you bunch of drunkards and ricebags. What kind of people are there? Do you still want to kidnap me with these ignorant things?
However, Qi Xuansu was not Zhang Yuelu. He did not fall out directly, and he understood the principle of catching someone and not letting him go when being besieged, so he targeted Zheng Jiaohe. He would only drink if Zheng Jiaohe drank, otherwise it would be Zheng Jiaohe.
To teach him to look down on him is to repay him with his own way.
Zheng Jiaohe is also at the immeasurable stage of heaven and man, but he has stayed in this realm longer, and Qi Xuansu's age is here, he was ordinary before the age of twenty, obviously not a genius like the Taoist Sanxiu, he must be
Only with the help of external forces can one reach the immeasurable stage. Not to mention that the promotion period is short, but he is still an independent person, and his level of cultivation is about the same as that of paper. How can he be compared with him?
Therefore, Zheng Jiaohe was not afraid at all and made up his mind to kill Qi Xuansu.
The two of them had a glass each, and in the blink of an eye the two jars of wine were empty.
Zheng Jiaohe was drunk, his eyes were dim, and he was swaying.
On the other hand, Qi Xuansu is still very sober.
Qi Xuansu is a Sanren in name, but in fact he is an acquired immortal who is even more unreasonable than an immortal. He is in no way comparable to ordinary people.
There are only two acquired immortals in the entire Taoist sect.
The Li family knows this secret, but they won't talk about it everywhere, because Li Changge is also an immortal who was banished the day after tomorrow. Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyi will not publicize it.
Zheng Jiaohe secretly said that he had miscalculated and was afraid that Qi Xuansu would become drunk before he was drunk.
It's just that the offensive and defensive momentum is different.
He wanted to stop drinking, but Qi Xuansu refused to let him go and forced him to drink to the end.
Another jar of wine went down.
"I...I really can't drink anymore." Zheng Jiaohe waved his hands repeatedly, and no matter what Qi Xuansu said, he refused to drink anymore.
Qi Xuansu smiled, "Deputy Palace Master Zheng proposed a drink, and I agreed. Now Deputy Palace Master Zheng wants to go back on his word. Can everything in the world be done according to your temper? You can fight when you want, and make peace with you if you want."
We can be together when the time comes, isn’t it wonderful to think about it?”
Just as Zheng Jiaohe was about to speak, he felt a hand pinch his neck from behind, making him unable to move.
At some unknown time, Ding Chou Lingguan appeared behind Zheng Jiaohe.
Qi Xuansu picked up the last jar of "Drunken Life and Dreams of Death" with his right hand and pinched his chin with his left hand, forcing him to raise his head and open his mouth.
"Don't you always say that the wine table is like a battlefield? Then let me tell you, there is a price to pay for surrendering on the battlefield."
Then under the horrified gazes of everyone, Qi Xuansu poured a jar of "Drunken Life and Dreams of Death" into Zheng Jiaohe's mouth.
