Speaking of the history of Qingpinghui, it can be said that it has a long history, and it was earlier than Xuan Sheng rebuilt the Taoist sect. At that time, the Taoist sect was still in a state of fragmentation, and the Confucian sect was the master of the world, using the contradictions between the various Taoist sect branches to balance, so at that time
The Qingping Society was a "secret association" that fought against the opposition forces within the Confucian sect, the Wei court and the Taoist sect.
"Taiping Inn" and Qingping Hui are originally one body. Qingping Hui is the core of "Taiping Inn" and "Taiping Inn" is the periphery of Qingping Hui. They were both established by Xuan Sheng and later disbanded by Xuan Sheng.
Before Xuan Sheng passed away, someone had already rebuilt the "Taiping Inn". Because they were afraid of arousing Xuan Sheng's taboo, they removed the word "Taiping" and just called it "The Inn", and the word "Qing Ping Hui" was also missing from the title.
, has a close relationship with Qingluan Guard.
After Xuansheng passed away, three generations of earth masters reestablished the Qingping Society.
The first generation of Earth Master after the re-establishment of Taoism was Shangguan Wan, and the second generation of Earth Master was Yao Zu. Since Yao Zu, the position of Earth Master has been firmly held by the Yao family, which also marks that the Yao family has become the successor of Zhang.
The third Taoist family after the Li family.
Looking at the three realms, only in the Xuansheng era did there appear a deputy head master, Ren Fei, who was born in Zhang, Li and Yao.
After that, even during the period of the Five Dynasties Chief Master, when the Five Generations Chief Master replaced the three deputy masters, Da Zhenren, the replacement was also carried out within the three major families, supporting the young people from the Zhang, Li, and Yao families to replace the old people from the previous three families.
, similar to replacing Zhang Jucheng with Zhang Yuelu, and replacing Li Wugu with Li Changge, the Tianshi is still surnamed Zhang, and the Guoshi is still surnamed Li.
Only in this way can the opposition voices of the three groups be reduced to a minimum. After all, the meat is rotten in their own pot. Even the three replaced deputy masters, Da Zhenren, did not have too strong will to fight, and finally chose to give in to their own interests before the family.
Benefit.
If the Fifth Dynasty Grand Master wanted to replace the three deputy head masters at that time with people with different surnames, it would not be that simple. To put it harshly, the three deputy head masters at that time would not abdicate obediently.
The Great Master may not end well.
Since then, there has been an unwritten rule in the Taoist sect. Only families that can control the position of the third master for a long time are considered top aristocratic families. This has established the pattern of the three major aristocratic families in the Taoist sect.
It's just that in this generation, the Zhang family has been in decline, and there seems to be a trend of a second Celestial Master with a different surname, that is, Master Cihang taking up the position of Celestial Master. The same is true for the Yao family. If Master Donghua fails to compete for the position of chief master,
Then he will definitely take over the position of Earth Master.
Generally speaking, a fairly solidified hierarchy has been formed within the Taoist sect. Although it is not hereditary on the surface, the actual situation is contrary to Xuansheng's original intention.
.
This is also a general trend. Any means can only delay this trend, but cannot completely eradicate it, just because human nature is like this. Confucianism saw this and wanted to start from human nature, trying to use "rituals" to set rules and educate the common people.
If everyone knows the etiquette, then the world will be unified. It cannot be said that there has been no change, but the effect is slow. Thousands of years have passed, and the world of great harmony that the Confucian people long for still cannot see the shadow, let alone the edge.
Talking back to the Qingping Hui, after three generations of masters rebuilt the Qingping Hui, although the structure of the Qingping Hui was still continued, the nature of the Qingping Hui has changed. In fact, the Qingping Hui has become the "private army" of Quanzhen Tao.
For example, "Tian Ting" is the "private army" of Taiping Dao.
In this way, the leader of the Qingping Society becomes very crucial, as he can compete with the Patriarch Jin Gong of the "Tianting".
In other words, there is a high probability that the leader of the Qingping Society is an immortal.
The evidence is the meeting in a dream. When Qi Xuansu entered the Queen's Dragon Palace on the Sea, just like the meeting in the dream, it materialized into an entity, no different from the real world. This made Qi Xuansu increasingly suspicious that the meeting in the Qingpinghui's dream was actually a special god.
country, and the ceremony of entering the Dream Club is indeed a bit like worshiping a god. If it is as Qi Xuansu guessed, then the leader of the Qingping Club who has never shown up is most likely a god.
It's just that this guild leader seems to be subject to some kind of restrictions, or is sleeping as Qiniang said, so he never shows up or takes action. His subordinate "Qing Shi Shi" was assassinated by the "Inn".
They are also indifferent. From this point of view, the restrictions may be greater. For example, after a hundred years, they can only live in the Kingdom of God and cannot come to the world at will.
Of course, this is just a guess, not a fact. It is not yet completely certain that the leader of the Qingping Society is an immortal. Perhaps only the Earth Master and Qiniang know the truth.
Qi Xuansu originally wanted to ask Qiniang, but a series of things happened subsequently, including Chen Shuhua's rebellion and the birth of Lord Siming. As a result, Qi Xuansu had no time to ask Qiniang. When everything settled, Qi Xuansu fainted again.
When Qi Xuansu woke up, Qiniang had already left.
However, the conversation between Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu further confirmed Qi Xuansu's guess.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Qiniang had left a huge opportunity for herself? This opportunity was related to the leader of the Qingping Society. Non-members of the Qingping Society would not pass it on, so he was allowed to stay in the Qingping Society.
Although this method is a bit old-fashioned and has been played badly by various senior experts, Qi Xuansu doesn't mind. The trick is not new, it just works.
However, based on Qi Xuansu's understanding of Qiniang, there is a high probability that things will not be that simple. Qiniang can always come up with some new tricks.
Putting aside the Qingping meeting for the time being, Qi Xuansu asked again, "By the way, you just mentioned Jinque's special envoy, who is coming this time? Do I know him?"
Zhang Yuelu said, "They are old acquaintances. We have worked together before, but the process and results were not very good."
Qi Xuansu noticed that Zhang Yuelu used the word "we" and quickly recalled it. Unfortunately, before coming to Borneo, he had been inseparable with Zhang Yuelu most of the time. If the process and the results were not very good, then it was the Jinling Mansion's No. 1
The scope of the second Jiangnan case was just too large for the seven-member team.
Zhang Yuelu said again, "I'll give you another reminder. People from Taiping Road are not from the Li family."
Qi Xuansu immediately had a candidate: "Lu Yushu?"
"It's her." Zhang Yuelu nodded and said, "Now that the national master is in charge, it is reasonable for someone to use Taiping Dao."
After Qi Xuansu experienced so many things, he couldn't help but think more about everything, and immediately thought of Lu Yuting beside him. The two were cousins.
However, Qi Xuansu didn't say much. There was no need for Zhang Yuelu to worry about him. He could handle it himself, and asked, "Where is the special envoy?"
Zhang Yuelu said, "I'm waiting for you. Regarding the various arrangements of the Taoist government, they were already explained to you when you were unconscious. On the surface, Wang Jiaohe was not harmed. After all, the evidence was insufficient, so he just recorded a demerit and reprimanded him. This is also
It can be regarded as a kind of appeasement. Now Wang Jiaohe should still have the idea of taking risks to pass the test. As long as he still has hope, he will have some scruples to prevent Wang Jiaohe from jumping over the wall and won't do anything to him for the time being."
Qi Xuansu nodded to express his understanding.
When dealing with high-quality Taoist priests at the level of Shen Zhenzhen, they must convince others, they must be justified, they must maintain the majesty and credibility of the Taoist sect, and in a word, they must have sufficient evidence.
This time, Wang Jiaohe did not help Chen Shuhua. Instead, he attacked Chen Shuhua at the critical moment. This was a cut. You can rely on Shicha, but there is also a real person in charge above him, which is really hard to say. Even if you leave it aside
Clearing the responsibility of the real person in charge also confirmed this point. In the absence of other evidence, it is difficult to bring down a real person with knowledge on this basis.
No matter what, it is an oversight, and it is not considered dereliction of duty, because supervision is not included in the responsibilities of the real person in charge of the palace. This is the responsibility of the second deputy palace owner. From a power structure perspective, the power of supervision is the original responsibility.
As for the role of checks and balances, as the number one figure in the Taoist government, he should not have the power of supervision. This will lead to an imbalance of power, and even lead to a situation where the real person in charge alone files a case, reviews, and convicts, causing the triangular structure of the Taoist government to exist in name only.
As the second deputy head of the palace, Qi Xuansu fulfilled his duties and indeed played a supervisory role, exposing Chen Shuhua's conspiracy. The key is that Chen Shuhua had been secretly planning for many years before Qi Xuansu came to Borneo.
The blame is also placed on Qi Xuansu's head, and he can only pursue the responsibility forward.
As expected, Zhang Yuelu went on to say, "There must be an explanation for everything. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Grand Master to be held accountable. What's more, this time the Grand Master shattered the divine incarnations of two ancient immortals. Jin
Que still needs to be appeased and rewarded. Since Wang Jiaohe only reprimanded and recorded the demerit, and you have made a meritorious service, then the former second deputy palace master will bear the main responsibility. This is not an injustice to him. This person has done nothing in Borneo for so many years.
After someone took advantage of them, they almost became Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua's yes-men. This time they are all punished together, which can be considered as what they deserve."
Qi Xuansu was not surprised.
When Jinque handles things, justice, law, and influence are relatively secondary matters. The first priority is balance and maintaining the balance of the power structure. The transferred second deputy palace master is undoubtedly the best scapegoat, not to mention
He is not innocent either.
The blame for Chen Shuhua's defection this time has been placed on Qi Xuansu's predecessor. On the surface, it seems that the matter has stopped here, which is Wang Jiaohe's wish. Next, if he wants to bring down Wang Jiaohe, another person is needed.
Make a fuss.
However, Chen Shuhua's defection also severely damaged Wang Jiaohe's faction. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu will go further, and the offensive and defensive momentum will be different.
Qi Xuansu finally asked, "What about my arrangements?"
Zhang Yuelu smiled slightly, "Congratulations."
Qi Xuansu's heart moved and he already had some guesses, but he still pretended not to know, "Where does the joy come from?"
Zhang Yuelu didn't try to expose him, and said cooperatively, "Of course, congratulations on becoming the youngest second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest in our Taoist sect."
Although Qi Xuansu had expected it, he couldn't help but be stunned when he actually heard the news.
His long-cherished wish came true.
The list of missing people is like thunder, and the Taoist priest finally wears the sword of wisdom.
