After Qi Xuansu officially took office as the chief deputy head of the Borneo Taoist Palace, the first thing he did was of course not to join forces with Zhang Yuelu to investigate the case, but to deal with the Yu royal family.
Logically speaking, it would be more appropriate for the real person in charge of this matter to handle this matter, but at this time Wang Jiaohe still had the idea of taking risks to pass the test, and deliberately avoided suspicion, which was also a cut-off, so he handed it over to Qi Xuansu, and the reason was ready.
This matter was originally handled by Qi Xuansu, so it was naturally more appropriate for him to continue handling it.
Qi Xuansu did not refuse.
Regarding how to deal with the Yu King's royal family, he adhered to a principle that he should not be implicated in any way, only punish the culprits, and never ask questions about threats.
After all, times have changed. This is not the era when the Confucian sect was in power. It was the era when the Taoist sect began to talk about civilization and did not promote the implicated nine tribes.
There are two remaining questions. First, how to deal with the culprit. Second, who will take over the royal family of Dayu and perform the duties of the king.
Let’s talk about the first question first. Yang E is dead, and the culprits are undoubtedly two people. One is Chen Shuhua, who has defected. Jinque has sent Pingzhang Daren to hunt him down personally, and it is not Qi Xuansu’s turn to worry about it. The other one is Chen Shuhua.
One is the leader of the Dayu Kingdom. Qi Xuansu did not hesitate to put himself in danger and fought a vicious battle with Siming Zhenjun in order to capture the leader of the Dayu Kingdom. The hard work paid off, and the leader of the Dayu Kingdom finally fell into the hands of Qi Xuansu, barely able to breathe.
.
The first is the question of whether to kill the leader of the Dayu Kingdom. If the leader of the Dayu Kingdom is kept, it can be used as bait to lure Chen Shuhua, but Chen Shuhua is unlikely to take the bait. If she really feels sorry for her brother, she will not do the trick of using him as a cauldron.
.So this option was quickly eliminated by Qi Xuansu.
If the leader of Dayu was to be killed, it would have to be a canonical punishment to serve as a warning, instead of being executed secretly with a glass of poisoned wine or other means like in previous dynasties.
There is a precedent for this. In the last years of the Wei Dynasty, the world was in chaos, blood flowed thousands of miles, and people were in ruins. At that time, the young emperor was young and could not personally govern. Therefore, after the Taoist sect came to power, they did not do anything to the young emperor, but only ordered him to abdicate. At that time
The people in charge were the regent and the queen mother, both of whom were executed by the Taoist sect. After being imprisoned for many days, the queen mother was finally found guilty by the Taoist sect and died at the execution ground of the Imperial Capital West Market.
This move of Taoist sect is undoubtedly to dispel the sacredness of the emperor. In Taoist sect, the emperor can be killed, and there is no such thing as punishing the doctor.
Killing is definitely necessary. Should the leader of Dayu be escorted to Yujing to be killed? Or should he be executed on the spot?
In this regard, Yujing has no specific requirements. If Chen Shuhua can be captured alive, then Yujing still has to do something grand. He can choose the Demon Suppressing Platform or the Zhuxiantai. If he is just an insignificant leader of Dayu Kingdom, then
Yujing had no interest and left Qi Xuansu to decide on his own
Certainly.
Qi Xuansu had not yet made up his mind, so he could only let Shangguan Ya hang his life, while asking the branch of Fengxian Hall to speed up the determination of the crime, so that he could be executed before the leader of Dayu died.
Not killing is not enough to correct people's hearts and not enough to warn the world.
In the end, because the condition of the leader of Dayu State worsened, Shangguanya said that she was almost helpless under normal means, and the cost of forcibly extending his life was too high. Qi Xuansu gave up the idea of escorting the leader of Dayu State to Yujing, and decided to execute him on the spot, choosing the location.
In Shenglong Mansion, Qi Xuansu forced all the Yu clan members to watch the execution.
This can also be regarded as a kind of murderous killing.
Next comes the second question, who will take over as the leader of Dayu Kingdom.
The leader of the Dayu Kingdom was guilty, and his sons were naturally deposed. The Taoist sect was not implicated, but it was not that it was not implicated, so it still had to be dealt with.
In fact, Chen Jianchou is a good candidate. In fact, the Taoist sect doesn't care about the bloodline. They all have the surname Chen, which is pretty much it. The royal family has no qualifications to object. Do you think you are the head of the Zhang family? Besides, the head of the Zhang family is
Didn’t you finally give in?
It's just that Chen Jianchou is now Qi Xuansu's secretary, and his current status may be far inferior to that of the leader of the Dayu Kingdom. But with Qi Xuansu's rise, it is hard to say how far Chen Jianchou can go. One day he will return to Borneo to serve as the governor.
not sure.
Taking the next best option, Qi Xuansu's second choice was Chen Jianqiu, who was a legitimate daughter of the Lord of Dayu. As for Western ancestry, it was not a big problem. Chen Jianqiu's identity determined that she was unlikely to marry.
The son will most likely be succeeded by his nephew in the future.
As for the identity of a woman, it is no longer a problem. Although the Taoist sect has not yet produced a female headmaster, the Central Plains Dynasty has produced an empress of Mingkong, and Mrs. Xuan Sheng also briefly served as the crown princess.
precedent.
As long as there are precedents, we are following the old practices and it is not considered treason.
The only thing Qi Xuansu is worried about now is whether Chen Jianqiu will have any ideological problems. After all, her biological father will be executed here. If she becomes resentful and alienated from the Taoist sect, this is also human nature. Qi Xuansu will understand, no
He would be harsh and demanding. But he has to be responsible for the Taoist sect. In this case, Chen Jianqiu would not be chosen to succeed the king. If another Chen Shuhua is raised, Qi Xuansu will not be able to explain to the Taoist sect.
So Qi Xuansu contacted Qi Mu
Qi Xuansu asked Qi Muyu to come forward to invite Chen Jianqiu. Qi Xuansu wanted to let Qi Muyu find out the details in advance, and it was also a little comfort. After all, it was a major matter for his dead father.
In fact, regardless of various factors, Qi Xuansu felt that it was a bit outrageous. Here he killed the biological father of a murderer, and there he wanted someone to inherit the throne with a Taoist family. No matter how you look at it, it is a joke from the underworld. But once he gets involved with power
Once you get to the edge, everything makes sense.
How many people would like to do it themselves in order to get the upper hand. If it were some people, this time Daomen would take action on their behalf, and they might even thank Daomen from the bottom of their hearts.
Otherwise, it can be said that power is the first-class poison in the world.
Immortals are not immune either.
For the vast majority of people, being drunk and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman is really insignificant compared to having the power to wake up and take over the world. .??.
After all, beauty is easy to come by, and there is only one country.
The meeting place was set in the Water Palace, because Qi Xuansu was sick and wounded and could not run around. The Water Palace was heavily guarded, which was conducive to his personal safety.
Zhang Yuelu said he was here to investigate the case, but he really was here to investigate the case. He did not stay with Qi Xuansu all the time. Especially after Qi Xuansu woke up, Zhang Yuelu often went out to learn about the case. During this time, Ke Qingqing was no longer on duty with Qi Xuansu.
Now, I started to officially follow Zhang Yuelu and get into the role.
However, Zhang Yuelu did not care about Qi Xuansu, so he left Xiao Yin with Qi Xuansu as a guard. Even though Xiao Yin was still a child, his cultivation level was quite good. Even Xu Jiaorong did not dare to say that he could win surely.
Xiao Yin, it is enough for Xiao Yin to serve as Qi Xuansu's guard, or to take action in Qi Xuansu's place.
Chen Jianqiu was a little curious at first. The Taoist sect prohibits excessive rejuvenation. Such a little girl is definitely not a senior expert. Seeing that she is close to Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu, it turns out that Xiao Yin is their junior, maybe a junior sister or niece.
But when Xiao Yin inadvertently revealed that she was actually a Taoist priest of the fourth-grade wine sacrifice, Chen Jianchou almost had his Taoist heart broken. Can he still play like this? He comes from a wealthy family and can do whatever he wants, and he can perform the fourth-grade sacrifice at a young age.
Do the wine Taoist priests and Taoist laws no longer exist?
However, after Xiao Yin Xiao Xiao showed his strength in the immeasurable stage, Chen Jianchou's already unstable Taoist heart stabilized. A dignified and immeasurable stage expert turned out to be just a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest. This is not an exaggeration, this is a reward.
Lower.
From this, Chen Jianchou also roughly guessed that this little Yin girl was probably not a human, that's why she looked so young. For example, dragons have a lifespan of hundreds of years, and their tens of years are naturally considered
A child.
This is Chen Shuhua's rebellion
Qi Xuansu met Chen Jianqiu for the first time after escaping.
During this meeting, there were only two people on Qi Xuansu's side, namely Chen Jianqiu and Xiao Yin, while on Chen Jianqiu's side was Qi Muyu who accompanied her.
The location is arranged in a small reception room, which is full of Western-style furnishings, not as clear-cut as Chinese-style furnishings.
Qi Xuansu didn't want to be too serious. This was just a private conversation, so it was better to be more casual.
However, Chen Jianqiu still saluted respectfully, "I have met Master Qi."
Qi Xuansu motioned for the two of them to sit down, and then asked, "How are you doing?"
Chen Jianqiu said, "Back to the real person, everything is fine."
Qi Xuansu nodded and continued, "You should know about your father. What do you want to say?"
Chen Jianqiu shook his head, "He violated the rules of heaven, I have nothing to say."
Qi Xuansu said, "What do you think? Will you hate me? In other words, will you resent the Taoist sect for this?"
Xiao Yin looked at Chen Jianqiu intently. After all, this little guy was the granddaughter of Mr. Yin, and he had the ability to penetrate people's hearts.
Chen Jianqiu was silent for a while and said, "I am sad, but I dare not be resentful."
Qi Xuansu said, "If he can be killed or not, for the sake of your service to the Taoist sect, I will choose to spare his life. But his sin is too great and has shaken the foundation of the Taoist sect. No one can save him."
Chen Jianqiu said softly, "I understand."
Qi Xuansu glanced at Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin nodded.
Qi Xuansu began to turn to the topic, "You already understand the specific situation, and fellow Taoist Qi has also explained it to you. It is said that a country cannot be without a leader for a day. Now that the position of leader is vacant, I intend to let you be the leader. What do you think?
"
Chen Jianqiu fell into a longer silence.
Qi Xuansu didn't rush, just waited quietly.
After a while, Chen Jianqiu said, "Is this... what the real person means?"
Qi Xuansu said, "It's my intention. The Taoist government has authorized me to handle this matter with full authority."
Chen Jianqiu then said, "I obey the wishes of the real person and follow the arrangements of the Taoist government."
Qi Xuansu finally said, "After all, he is his biological father. It is unrealistic to say that he has no feelings at all. It's just that the reality is that if you do it yourself, you will not survive. Even if I don't kill him, he won't survive for a few days. I know this decision is right."
It’s a bit difficult for you, so I have no choice but to shamelessly ask you to bear with me.”
