On the third day after Qi Xuansu officially took office as the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall, he received a notice from the Ancestral Temple and Sacrifice Hall. He rushed to the Ancestral Temple and Sacrifice Hall and met one of his old bosses in the past, the real person in charge of the Ancestral Sacrifice Hall, Ning Lingge.
There are also advantages to moving through various positions, that is, there are many old bosses, such as Master Donghua, Master Qingwei, Ning Lingge, Shi Bingyun, and Master Landa, these are all Qi Xuansu's old bosses.
"Sit down." Ning Lingge motioned Qi Xuansu to sit down.
Qi Xuansu sat opposite Ning Ling Pavilion.
In the past, there was a huge gap in identity between the two. One was a real person in charge of the hall, and the other was a seventh-grade Taoist priest. They were as different as heaven and earth. However, Qi Xuansu had a very good impression of this old boss. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to bring himself and Zhang Yuelu together. What does this mean?
It shows that Zhenren Ning has a good understanding of people. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is the intention of the Quanzhen Tao high-level officials and they planned it early.
No matter what, Qi Xuansu is still willing to think good things about people.
Now the gap between the two is no longer so huge, just a few steps away.
Ning Lingge did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "There is an unexpected situation. You should already know about it. Conflict broke out again in the New World. Thousands of people were killed and injured on both sides. On this matter alone, Western reporters want to know our attitude. I ask you
I came here just for this matter. Should our ancestral hall respond on our behalf? Or should your Beichen Hall respond directly?" ??
Qi Xuansu did not answer immediately.
Regarding this issue, Master Qingwei has already discussed it with Qi Xuansu, and who will reply actually shows two tendencies. If it is left to the ancestral hall to reply, no matter how sharp the words are, in essence it still does not intend to end, and it can also be understood as temporary
Put it aside and give Westerners a reassurance, but it will arouse the dissatisfaction of Xidaomen and Tawanting. If the powerful figures of Beichen Hall reply in person, then the attitude will be obvious, which will make Westerners wary, but it can
Nice to appease Xidaomen and Tawanting.
Qingweizhenren prefers to appease his own people.
This is in line with the concept of Taipingdao. How can the sword of Taoism be used internally? It must be united internally by being tough externally. Friendships are not surprised, and toughness is necessary. More importantly, Xidaomen and Tawan
Tingdu has a close relationship with Taiping Road.
Master Qingwei also made it clear that as one of the most powerful forces in the world, Taoism cannot be without its own position. There is no problem for a small country to have both sides. This is the way for a small country to survive. But as the master of the Eastern world, Taoism must have a position.
A clear and firm position, otherwise it will lead to internal confusion and even loss of heart.
Of course, Qi Xuansu could not go against Master Qingwei's wishes and replied, "I will reply to Master Qingwei's opinions."
.”
Ning Lingge was not surprised and nodded slightly, "Okay, I will arrange it in the afternoon. You should be prepared. Westerners are used to setting up traps. You don't need to answer their questions. You just need to express our position clearly."
Okay, don’t be led into the other person’s rhythm.”
There are no reporters in Daomen, and Daomen's daily newspapers are uniformly published by Daomen. It's just that Westerners like to do this, and sometimes Daomen still has to deal with it.
Qi Xuansu expressed his understanding.
In the afternoon, Qi Xuansu attended the so-called press conference in formal attire as the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall.
There were many people coming. In addition to the Western faces, there were also people from the Golden Tent and the Rakshasa Kingdom who were neutral. They were just making up the numbers. There were also many of our own people, people from the Taoist sect, and people from the Daxuan court arranged in the ancestral hall.
People from various vassal states, including Fenglinzhou Weiyuan Kingdom, and even envoys from Xidaomen and Tawanting, will not embarrass Qi Xuansu. The ones who really need to be careful are the Western countries.
After Qi Xuansu stood still, he looked around and indicated that he could start asking questions.
Everyone below started to raise their hands.
Qi Xuansu did not avoid it, and directly reached out and nodded to a reporter from Lun State.
This reporter from Rune Country is dressed in a standard gentleman's style, wearing a top hat, a double-breasted black formal suit, a white shirt, a black waistcoat with dark gold edges, a pocket watch and a handkerchief. He has blond hair and azure blue hair.
Eyes, and two beautiful mustaches.
"Dear Master Qi, hello, I am a reporter from the Londinium Post in the Kingdom of Rune. My name is Clark Gregg." The reporter said, "In the past seventy-two hours, Tawanting has
The Holy Court has launched attacks on many sanctuaries in the New World, killing innocent civilians. I would like to ask Master Qi, do you support Tawanting's actions?"
Qi Xuansu replied, "Our position is clear, unambiguous, and consistent. We stand on the side of justice and justice..."
Clark interrupted, "So what's the position? Does Daomen want to openly support Tawantin's actions?"
Qi Xuansu did not get angry and continued calmly, "I stand here, representing the Taoist sect, and will not condemn anyone. If we want to condemn, then we will only condemn those who have truly committed evil deeds..."
"What Qi Zhenren means is that even if Tawanting slaughters civilians wantonly,
The crime is so heinous that Taoism doesn’t consider it a bad deed?” Clark interrupted again.
Qi Xuansu ignored the question and calmly asked, "We in the Central Plains are very particular about tracing back to the source. I would like to ask this journalist friend, why do we need to preset a seventy-two-hour precondition? Why not trace back to the three previous years?
In the past month, three years, or even thirty years, how many indigenous peoples of the New World have died tragically? Are they not civilians? How many times have you spoken out about this? Have you asked the Holy See Cardinal a question because of this? Every time
When someone from the Western Continent dies, you will come to Yujing and ask about our attitude. But every time someone from the New World aborigines dies, why don’t you ask the Holy Court about its attitude? Don’t you dare?”
Clark blushed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Qi Xuansu no longer gave him a chance to speak, and once again stretched out his hand to name "Next."
A woman with obvious aboriginal characteristics of the New World stood up and said, "Dear Master Qi, I am Numan from Tawanting. I would like to ask Master Qi, how do you view the so-called 'conflict' in some people's mouth?"
Qi Xuansu said, "Before answering this question, I want to talk about Tawanting first. In my opinion, Tawanting is not fundamentally different from the Yellow Turban Uprising of that year. In the Yellow Turban Uprising of that year, perhaps the people who participated in the uprising
Ignorance, extremism, violence, backwardness, ragged clothes, using various farm tools, and looking stupid against an enemy who is wearing armor and armed to the teeth; maybe it seems ridiculous to some people, because they have backward weapons, tactics, and abilities.
, like uncivilized barbarians; some people think that these people who participated in the uprising were bewitched by Taiping Dao. They are neither civilized nor rational, and they are not even clear-headed.
, what they believe in are some thoughts that cannot be understood, and some people often even use them as an excuse for indiscriminate killing."
Qi Xuansu paused slightly and suddenly raised his voice, "But so what?"
"Do we have to deny their legitimacy? Some people say that Taipingdao deceived these people with talisman water, but the court at that time was not willing to give even this bowl of talisman water. These rebellious people took it because of their own ambitions.
Do they fight against seemingly invincible enemies with swords and guns? Are they fighting to occupy the land, enslave others, and rule the world? No, they are just fighting for survival. Ants are greedy for life, let alone humans? They are killing pigs.
When slaughtering a cow, how many times does the animal have to struggle, let alone a human being?"
"However, there are some differences between Tawanting and the Yellow Turban Uprising. The latter is an internal conflict.
It is the contradiction between the meat-eaters and the common people within the same ethnic group. As for the former, there is also the contradiction between the two ethnic groups. One is aggression and the other is resistance to aggression. When one's homeland is occupied by outsiders, when one's own tribe
If your life is ruthlessly taken away, shouldn’t you resist?”
"Are they still considered to have destroyed 'civilization' when they made acts of resistance and roared in anger? They are all going to be exterminated and destroyed, so how can they still be 'civilized'? Do they have to engrave on their tombstones '
The epitaph of 'civilization to death'?"
"Instead of dying silently and in vain, why not stand up bravely? There is an old saying in the Central Plains, if you die now, you will die, if you make great plans, you will die. If you wait for death, then the country will die?"
"Don't ask me what the meaning of resistance is, resistance itself is the meaning."
After Qi Xuansu finished speaking, fierce applause immediately broke out from below.
The woman named Numan was so excited that her cheeks turned red and she even shed two lines of tears.
The representatives of Xidaomen and Tawanting who were present stood up directly to show their respect for Qi Xuansu.
The applause lasted for a long time, wave after wave, endlessly.
Qi Xuansu waited until the applause stopped and continued, "I have just said that Taoism always stands on the side of justice and justice. It is no exaggeration to say that Taoism has always represented the high ground of world civilization. We call for a more peaceful approach.
ways to resolve disputes, but we are not opposed to exercising necessary and legitimate powers."
"Regarding this so-called 'conflict,' I think we still need to go back and see who is right and who is wrong, and then define it."
"On issues of great right and wrong, and issues related to life and death, there is no room for any ambiguity, let alone any confusion of right and wrong. We, the Central Plains dynasty, have had the experience of subjugating our country and the world more than once, so we feel about this point
Extremely profound, because the lessons of historical experience are too profound. They are experiences and blood lessons gained at the cost of tens of millions of lives. If you cannot maintain a firm stand and attitude on major issues of right and wrong, your country will inevitably be destroyed.
.”
After Qi Xuansu finished his speech, fierce applause sounded again from below.
There is no doubt that Qi Xuansu's statement will establish a very positive and good image for him in Tawanting and Xidaomen, and will be conducive to his work in the New World.
After this press conference, Qi Xuansu will also leave Yujing and rush to the New World.
