Chapter 154: Letter of Surrender

Zhang Yuelu led people to the Wang family's mansion, and the spiritual officials behind him immediately surrounded the Wang family's mansion.

Of course, the Wang family's mansion occupies a large area, but it cannot handle the large number of people brought by Zhang Yuelu. Jiang Dazhen has already taken over the team of spiritual officers, so there is naturally no shortage of spiritual officers.

Today, there is no serious owner in the Wang family mansion. Wang Danqing went to Lion City, Wang Jiaohe and Wang Jiaoying were attending a temporary meeting, and only Wang Jiaoyan was left in the mansion. Unfortunately, Wang Jiaoyan could not see the light now.

Zhang Yuelu stood still, and a spiritual official came forward and knocked on the door, "Open the door! Open the door!"

Of course, the concierge had heard the commotion outside a long time ago and did not dare to come forward at all, so he could only shrink inside.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister is not fake, but it also depends on when. When faced with someone who wants to beg the "prime minister", the concierge can naturally take advantage of it, but when faced with the "imperial envoy" who is obviously looking for trouble, the concierge does not dare to come forward.

Already.

To put it bluntly, dogs rely on human power.

Wang Jiaoyan was in the main hall at this time, not far from the main entrance. He could clearly hear the knocking sound of the courtyard door. He stood up subconsciously and slowly sat down again.

Why didn't Wang Jiaoyan know the current situation? Nanyang United Trading Company was finished. The people involved were either dead, ran away, or were behind bars. Now it was finally her turn.

She never expected that after Qi Xuansu came to Borneo, not only did the situation change unexpectedly, but the speed of the change was also unexpected, and it deteriorated to such an extent almost in the blink of an eye.

"Auntie, yes, it's Zhang Cixi from Lingnan Daofu who is here in person." The housekeeper stumbled in.

The Dayu Kingdom regards itself as a small Central Plains, so it naturally follows the customs of the Central Plains.

When the eunuchs and court officials in the previous dynasties mentioned the emperor, they all referred to the previous emperors by their reign names. For example, Emperor Taizu was called "Master Taizu" and Emperor Xuanzong was called "Master Xuanmiao". But the current emperor is called "Master Xuanmiao".

Then he was called "Long Live Lord" or "Emperor". Later, the kings were also addressed in this way, which is the origin of "Prince". Later, there were also titles such as Duke of the Country, Uncle of the Country, and Prime Minister.

In an ordinary family, the head of the family is called the master, and the elder is the old master, followed by the eldest young master, the second young master, and the third young master in order. Or you can omit the word "young" and call the uncle, second master, and third master directly.

.Women are called madam and grandma, such as madam, old lady, aunt, young lady.

All in all, men are mainly called "ye", and women are mainly called "grandma" and "ma'am". Women often call their husbands with the word "ye".

After the Taoists came to power, they regarded such customs as Confucian dross and banned them. The emperor called his majesty, and the kings called their highnesses. The titles "master" and "milk" were completely abolished. It's just that this side of Nanyang seems to be a lawless place.

Keep all kinds of dross

Not only is the relationship between men and women chaotic, but the master-slave mentality is also serious, and they even openly believe in Buddhism. To put it more formally, the belief in Taishang Taozu has been shaken, and the Taoist concept of equality has disappeared.

To put it harshly, even if he is the Heavenly Master, the Zhang family only calls him "Old Master" in private. The difference of one word has nothing to do with the master, but it means something like "Old Man". No one dares to call him "Old Master"

", and it must be in private. Zhang Yuelu even called him "Ah Weng", which shows that people in the Taoist sect are somewhat taboo about the title "Master", and it has even developed to the point where the word "Master" is taboo in public. Grandpa, mother, mother, "

"Master" means "father", which is easily reminiscent of the Confucian monarch, minister, father and son.

However, the Wang family openly called Wang Jiaohe the eldest master, Wang Jiaoying the second master, and Wang Jiaoyan the aunt.

From this point of view, the Wang family is somewhat of a "method of death."

Of course, this is only a trivial and secondary reason. The main reason is that the Wang family has committed a taboo of changing families.

Both the Taoist sect and the imperial court were taboo about switching positions at will.

Everyone knows clearly about a person's background, who promoted him, and what faction he belongs to. There is never any rootless water, let alone a lonely ghost. Everyone is prosperous and suffers.

The same holds true. The militant faction is the militant faction. We cannot advocate war today and advocate peace tomorrow.

Behind it is the word "faith". People cannot stand without faith.

For example, the warring faction cannot be defeated now and must hide its capabilities and bide its time. The warring faction can temporarily step down, lie dormant, and come back to power when it can win. It cannot become the peace-promoting faction just because it cannot be defeated.

There is no absolute truth, but there is an absolute position.

The same is true for changing families. Loyalty is not absolute, which is absolutely disloyal. Two-faced and opportunistic people are not lovable. Most of the time, there is no jumping left and right. Every time you change families, you need a suitable reason, and a certificate of title is indispensable.

Take Qi Xuansu as an example. He was born in Quanzhen Taoism and was promoted by Master Donghua. He is a direct descendant of Master Donghua. If Qi Xuansu wants to defect to Master Qingwei now, then he is finished. Master Donghua will not let him go.

He, Master Qingwei also dare not accept him. Because if you dare to betray Master Donghua, you will naturally dare to betray me. This is a very simple reason. Unless Master Donghua is unkind and forces you to change the family.

In addition, you must also pay a petition, for example, to retaliate against Donghua Zhenren and completely draw a clear line.

Wang Jiadong

The reason why they wanted to change the family was because the Wang family had a premonition that Quanzhen Tao was planning to do something to them. It can also be said that the two fell into a situation of mutual suspicion. Quanzhen Tao suspected that the Wang family had two intentions, and the Wang family suspected that Quanzhen Tao wanted to get rid of them.

So there were two minds. This reason barely made sense. So Taipingdao was very hesitant, neither explicitly refusing nor directly agreeing.

The key is the certificate of submission.

The Wang family initially chose Qi Xuansu as the candidate.

At that time, Qi Xuansu had already begun to show his prowess and was the fourth best figure in the Taoist sect. He also had some conflicts with the Li family. So the Wang family wanted to use Wang Danqing's excuse to get rid of Qi Xuansu, a direct descendant of the Quanzhen Taoism, as a way to pay for Taiping Dao.

Obtained the Certificate of Voting. ??

It's just that the Wang family didn't expect that the matter between Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu would progress so quickly that the Heavenly Master would intervene, and a storm that should have plunged Qi Xuansu into a quagmire would just disappear. Not only was Qi Xuansu fine, but the Wang family was exposed. In this way, Tou

The certificate was not paid successfully, and it offended Qi Xuansu and Qiniang behind Qi Xuansu. It also aroused the vigilance of Quanzhen Taoism and determined to take action.

Taipingdao did not receive a satisfactory petition, so it naturally refused to protect the Wang family.

Next, the Fenglin Island war broke out, the three conflicts eased, and the relationship between Qi Xuansu and the Li family also improved. Taiping Taoism had no time to take care of others, so Quanzhen Taoism took the opportunity to take action and sent Qi Xuansu to Borneo.

Only then did Qi Xuansu come together to settle old and new grudges and uproot the Wang family.

This is the cruelty of factional struggle.

That's why Wang Jiaohe said that he made a wrong move and lost everything.

The power field is like a big whirlpool. Once you enter it, how can you get out so easily? When you align yourself with a faction or a faction, your friends and enemies are determined and will not change based on your personal will.

The gun picks a line, the stick sweeps a large area.

If something happens to Master Donghua, will Qi Xuansu, who was promoted by Master Donghua, be spared, regardless of whether he is innocent or guilty? Qi Xuansu has enjoyed the treatment of the "eldest son", so he should fulfill his responsibilities as the "eldest son"

, to avenge his father, so if he wants to touch Zhenren Donghua, he must also eradicate Qi Xuansu.

The logic of this is like confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. Men must die, especially adult men. The head of the family and the next generation of the family will definitely not survive. The female family members may save their lives.

It's not that Qi Xuansu insists on recognizing a father, but in the eyes of outsiders, this is the relationship between the two. Regardless of what Qi Xuansu thinks, in the eyes of others, if you don't avenge Donghua, you are an unfaithful, unfilial and unjust person.

, you are a villain who cannot be trusted and cannot be interacted with. Both friends and enemies look down on you.

Some people say that Cihang's attitude towards Qi Xuansu is far inferior to that of Donghua. This is reasonable. Can the mother-in-law compare with his father? Cihang's biological daughter is Zhang Yuelu. Cihang is very generous in his treatment of Zhang Yuelu.

I gave them all the "Six-Word Bright Cursed Sword".

In fact, the Wang family also made some struggles. Li Tianzhen came to Nanyang, perhaps to communicate with the Wang family. However, there were differences within Taiping Road. The group headed by Qingwei Zhenren planned to abandon the Wang family as an unruly opportunist, and Li Tianzhen

He acted out of impulse and was caught by Qi Xuansu, which caused Qingwei Zhenren to gain the upper hand in the internal disagreements within Taiping Dao, and finally caused Taiping Dao to completely abandon the Wang family.

As for when did Qi Xuansu become aware of the differences within Taiping Dao? It was first because of Zhang Kuquan's incident, and Lu Yushu's proactive overtures made him more certain of this guess.

This is how there are small factions within the big faction.

Li Changge, Li Zhuyu, Li Tianzhen, and Li Minghuang are not of the same mind, Zhang Yuelu, Bai Yingqiong, and Zhang Wenyue are not of the same mind, and it is difficult to say that Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei are of the same mind.

When can we easily change the court? When the old rules have been destroyed and the new rules have not yet been established, the world is competing for the throne, and the city is changing with the king's flag. This environment is very loose and allows for changing the court.

In the process of Xuan Sheng rebuilding the Taoist sect, he brought a large number of enemies under his command, such as Donghuang, Shangguan Patriarch, Yan Zushi and others. They were all enemies of Xuansheng to a greater or lesser extent. In the end, they all rushed back to the sea, and no one

Blame and criticize them.

Therefore, it must be noted that the environment at that time was different from the current environment. What could be done at that time does not mean that it can still be done now.

"Zuo Zhuan" says, "If you prosper by this, you will perish by this."

Qi Xuansu is a person valued by Master Donghua. One day the tree falls, Qi Xuansu will eventually fall with Master Donghua.

Of course, Xiao Yin, Chen Jianchou and others are closely related to Qi Xuansu.

On the day when Qi Xuansu falls into the dust, they will also perish along with Qi Xuansu.

"Friends who have seen it now know that the last dozens of chapters of each volume will pave the way for the next volume. For example, the end of the second volume begins to involve the Jiangnan case, and the end of the Imperial Capital volume begins to pave the way for the overseas part through Di Bao.

This volume is about to come to an end. This chapter and the previous chapter about the relationship between Qi Xuansu and Donghua Zhenren have little to do with the content of this volume, but they have a lot to do with the next volume. In the next volume, Qi Xuansu will return

When we go to Yujing, we should be able to unravel Qiniang’s secrets, such as why Qiniang chose Qi Xuansu, and it may also involve the New World and Xidaomen, as well as Donghua Zhenren and Earth Master, etc. However, I haven’t decided on the title of the volume yet. Is there any?

A good suggestion?"
