Things generally developed according to Qi Xuansu's expectations.
According to the procedures, Ziwei Hall and Beichen Hall need to conduct inspections and talks with Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu respectively. However, the real heads of the two halls have agreed that the so-called inspections and talks are actually just a formality. Who can disobey their boss?
Does it mean to give a negative conclusion?
Soon, Jinque's decision was issued, formally removing Qi Xuansu from the post of chief deputy head of the Borneo Dafu, and also formally removing Zhang Yuelu from the post of second deputy head of the Lingnan Dafu, and officially appointed Zhang Yuelu as the chief deputy of the Borneo Dao Prefecture.
Lord of the palace.
Yujing had already heard about this personnel appointment, but it did not cause much disturbance.
The Borneo Taoist Government was a little bit behind-the-scenes. They all knew that Chief Qi was leaving, and they were all wondering whether the situation would change after Chief Qi left. However, they did not expect that the successor would be Zhang Yuelu. In this way,
There is no such thing as a change of scenery. Chief Zhang and Chief Qi may have different methods, but the general direction will definitely not change.
This came as a relief to many people.
In fact, some people have already seen some clues.
Even though Landa Zhenren was very lazy and did not like to take care of things, he was actually a high-ranking Pingzhang Danzhen who had already begun to make arrangements for his death.
Many people are curious as to why Lan Da Zhenren insists on using Xu Jiaorong as a female secretary. Don’t you want to avoid suspicion? In fact, the reason is very simple. Xu Jiaorong is a disciple of Lan Da Zhenren. In fact, you can tell from the surname that Lan
Da Zhenren was born in the Xu Zu faction of Quanzhen Taoism. Xu Jiaorong simply named him Xu. It was a natural thing for him to become a master and become a disciple.
It is also very common to use disciples as secretaries. Xiao Yueru, a disciple of Master Cihang, has the intention to develop in this direction. Another example is Zhang Jucheng, who also served as the secretary of Tianshi.
It's just that Xu Jiaorong never calls him master, only his job title, so many people don't know that the two have this relationship.
If Master Landa wants to ascend, he must arrange his disciples. Neither Qi Xuansu nor Zhang Yuelu can stay in the Taoist Palace of Borneo for a long time. Zhang Yuelu will have to take charge of the palace in as little as two years and as many as five years.
Go in the direction. Once Zhang Yuelu leaves, Xu Jiaorong's qualifications are enough, so he can take over as the chief deputy palace master. Overseas Taoist mansions are not as complicated as Central Plains Taoist mansions. The situation is complicated and it is not easy to change personnel frequently. It still requires more familiarity.
In view of the local situation, although this move has the disadvantage of empowering local powerful factions, it can only be the lesser of two evils.
In this way, it can also ensure the influence of Landa Zhenren's lineage in the Borneo Taoist government and prevent people from losing sight of it.
This is one of the reasons why Master Landa agreed to Qi Xuansu's proposal.
As for the future, we can only look at Xu Jiaorong herself. She is probably bound to Qi Xuansu. No matter who is Qi Xuansu or Zhang Yuelu, she can soar into the sky. Pingzhang Daren is probably
It's safe to say that Chen Jianchou will definitely be in charge of the position. But if Li Changge and Yao Pei win, then the end will naturally be worrying.
But that was all many years later, and Landa Zhenren couldn't help even if he wanted to. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren.
After Zhang Yuelu completed the handover at Lingnan Daofu, he did not go directly to Borneo Daofu to meet Qi Xuansu. Instead, he reported to Yujing first, and then went to Borneo from Yujing.
Because of the special relationship between Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, Ziweitang did not mobilize any troops and only sent an ordinary deputy hall leader to accompany Zhang Yuelu to his appointment - Zhang Yuelu felt like going home when he went there, and Ziweitang did not need to send anyone to accompany him.
It's purely a formality.
After arriving in Borneo, Yao Shu and Qi Xuansu were ready to receive Feng Yan.
It was Qi Xuansu who personally went to Guijian Lake to greet Zhang Yuelu, just like Chen Shuhua had greeted Qi Xuansu at Guijian Lake.
When they arrived at the Sheji Palace, Master Lan Da had not returned from visiting friends and was not present, but the two first-grade spiritual officers were there. In addition, Zhang Yuelu looked around and saw that most of them were acquaintances, Xu Jiaorong, Pei Xiaolou,
Even if you are not familiar with Xie Jiaofeng, Ji Jiaozhen, Lu Yuting, Han Yongfeng, etc., you still have a vague impression.
However, according to procedure, Yao Shu, as the real person in charge, still introduced these future new colleagues to Zhang Yuelu.
There were two reception banquets. The first one was arranged at noon, and was mainly attended by people from the Taoist government, and was hosted by Yao Shu. The second one was arranged in the evening, and was mainly attended by people from all walks of life outside the Taoist government, and was hosted by Qi Xuansu.
Host.
Chen Jianqiu, Qi Muyu, Chen Shuwen, Fan Ji and others were all arranged for this scene.
These people are considered members of Qi Xuansu's faction, and they have all interacted with Zhang Yuelu in the past.
When Qi Xuansu first arrived in Borneo, she was alone at the reception banquet, surrounded by stars. Zhang Yuelu was different this time. Qi Xuansu was always by her side. Those who didn't know it thought she was bringing her family members to attend the ceremony.
feast.
Because of the close relationship between the two chief deputy palace masters, there was no undercurrent at this reception banquet, and the main focus was on having fun.
Xiao Yin did not follow the two of them.
Instead, he and Lin Yuanmiao were feasting in the corner.
But having said that, Xiao Yin is also a familiar face. She stays in Borneo for half a year. Who doesn’t know Miss Xiao Yin? Everyone knows in their hearts that Chief Qi and Chief Zhang got married too late and their cultivation levels are too high. In this life,
I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult to give birth to an heir. This little girl was most likely raised as a daughter, so she was naturally held in the palm of her hand.
Many people will go to say hello to Xiao Yin. As Xiao Yin is an old face in Borneo, these people have put in the effort long ago. No one will wait until now to just say hello.
And they also discovered that Xiao Yin was not doing things well. At first, everyone thought it was because the little guy was too young to understand what was being said, but later they came to realize that the little guy was very smart, so it was not necessarily because he couldn’t understand.
Probably trying to be stupid on purpose.
I don’t know, what are you talking about? So that’s what it means. These are Xiao Yin’s three sentences of pretending to be stupid.
As for Lin Yuanmiao, everyone can see that this taciturn Taoist priest is unusual. He was personally promoted by the Celestial Master and named in the Shangqing Palace. He is a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest and has a high level of cultivation. Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu both trust him very much and are their confidants.
confidant.
It's just that this man is also a layman. He is either carefree or working as a nanny for Miss Yin. Of course, in Xiao Yin's view, the two are good friends, and there is no such thing as one taking care of the other.
But having said that, if this man wants to be in charge, given his level of cultivation, he will have to start as a second-ranked person, and he will not follow the two chiefs all day long.
By the time the dinner was over, Xiao Yin was already sleepy - Qi Xuansu had always been surprised that Xiao Yin's schedule was so regular, and she would go to bed at a certain time, not like the Infinite Heavenly Beings or the Emperor Willow Elf at all.
Xiao Yin also had a room in Sheji Palace, so he went to sleep on his own.
Lin Yuanmiao, Pei Xiaolou, and Ji Jiaozhen got along quite well, and the three of them often drank together.
Chen Jianqiu and Ke Qingqing were busy handing over.
So only Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were left.
The two of them walked along the lake of the Water Palace. At the dinner party, there were many people toasting. Zhang Yuelu refused all comers and drank a lot of wine. However, it was not noticeable at all. Under the moonlight, his face was as white as snow.
Qi Xuansu asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't have any thoughts." Zhang Yuelu put his hands behind his back, "They are all familiar faces, there is really nothing to say. But you, not only are you going to Beichen Hall, a place you are not familiar with, but you are also going to a new world where your eyes are dark.
This is a completely new environment.”
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Aren't you from Beichen Hall? I have to ask you carefully."
Zhang Yuelu waved his hand and said, "I'd better forget it. I was just a Taoist priest in charge at the time and had no contact with the higher-ups of the Taoist Hall. You are going to be the chief deputy hall master this time, and you mainly deal with a group of deputy hall masters. My boss at that time became
How can your subordinates generalize?"
Qi Xuansu just said that, it is impossible to really expect Zhang Yuelu to "calculate carefully, I set off from Tiangang Hall, visited Ziweitang, Imperial Palace, Fenglinzhou Camp, Borneo Palace, and finally went to Beichen Hall.
The upper three halls are complete. Looking at the three halls, although Beichen Hall has the highest position and Ziwei Hall has the deepest imprint, for me, Tiangang Hall has the greatest influence."
"Because Tiangang Hall is the place where your dream begins?" Zhang Yuelu asked.
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "There is this reason, but it is not all. The key is that I met... you in this place."
Zhang Yuelu didn't make a big fuss this time and smiled slightly, "I'm very lucky."
The next day, Zhang Yuelu officially began to perform his duties as the chief deputy governor of Borneo Province.
Qi Xuansu did not stay in Borneo for too long and went to Yujing.
Before leaving, the Borneo Taoist Office held a grand ceremony to see off Qi Xuansu. After all, Qi Xuansu was going to be promoted, so of course he had to celebrate.
This is also the only time in the Borneo Taoist government in recent decades. The former chief deputy governor was Chen Shuhua. Needless to say, his fate was shattered and ashes were thrown away, and he was nailed to the traitor's pillar of shame. Before Chen Shuhua, it was Du Yuhua and Wang
Jiaohe, neither of these two people came to Beijing, and their endings were not very good. Even Du Yuhua, who had the best ending, resigned voluntarily, and there was no prospect of promotion.
Qi Xuansu did not take Chen Jianchou with him to Yujing this time, not because his secretary could not go with him, but because he left Chen Jianchou temporarily and continued to hand over the remaining matters until it was completely completed before leaving the Borneo Taoist Mansion.
Head to Yujing.
Qi Xuansu is going to the New World. It doesn't make much sense whether he takes his secretary or not.
The imperial farewell was made among the colorful clouds of Boluo, and the jade capital of thousands of miles returned in one day. The sea of clouds and the cranes couldn't stop, and the flying boat had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
After arriving in Yujing, although Qi Xuansu had not officially taken office, Beichen Hall still sent people to greet Qi Xuansu, headed by Lu Yushu, Li Zhuyu, and Shen Yuqing. They were Qi Xuansu's acquaintances and direct descendants of Qingwei Zhenren.
The second deputy hall leader Shen Mingxin went to Fenglinzhou for official duties and is not in Yujing now, so he is absent.
