Xuanhuang City is the gate of Yujing, and a tiger should be sent to guard it. If a tiger cannot be sent, a dog must be sent, and a pig cannot be sent.
Li Wuji is a man who can be entrusted with important tasks. Even though he is not as good as Huangfuji, the tiger of the West Dao Sect, he is definitely not a pig or dog, and he still has some abilities.
Someone once wrote an article about Qi Xuansu. Zhang Yuelu went all the way to Kunlun Taoist Mansion, but could not continue the investigation and finally dropped the matter. Qi Xuansu suspected that this matter was closely related to Li Wuji, but there was no evidence.
This time the two of them were face to face. An old fox like Li Wuji, even if he was secretly instigating it, would not reveal any flaws.
After Li Wuji met Qi Xuansu, instead of being sarcastic or making sarcastic comments, Li Wuji was very enthusiastic and repeatedly praised Qi Xuansu for being a hero and making him a young man, so they, the old men, retreated.
Those who didn't know thought he was Qi Xuansu's old friend.
Ridiculing Qi Xuansu, provoking Qi Xuansu, belittling Qi Xuansu, looking down on Qi Xuansu, and feeling that Qi Xuansu is not worthy of Zhang Yuelu are things only immature young people would do to fight for their morale.
The old guys have lost their energy and are no longer full of energy. They always say good things and do bad things, and they only try to praise them. If you really believe their rhetoric, I think they are pretty good people, but what will happen to them?
Naturally, he was eaten until no bones were left.
Of course, Qi Xuansu would not angrily ask Li Wuji for an explanation, and would not even mention it. On the surface, he would reciprocate the favor and praise Li Wuji for his difficulty and hardship in guarding the Yujing gate.
Huangfuji just looks young, but he is not actually young anymore. He is much older than Qi Xuansu. He is Qi Xuansu's old friend. He has been in the power field for a long time, so of course he is familiar with these routines and does not take them seriously.
It is worth mentioning that Li Wuji's reception was unique. In addition to inviting the delegation to visit the completed and unfinished Zicheng, he also led them to visit the statue of Taishang Taozu that was said to be built for a hundred years.
It is still in the preliminary construction stage, and it just gives the whole mountain a barely human form.
Finally, I watched a new play at the theater in Qingshi City that was neither Chinese nor Western, or a combination of Chinese and Western.
What's even more amazing is that the performers are not from the Central Plains, but all Silla women.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but wonder, "Why are there still Silla people in Kunlun Taoist Palace?"
The accompanying director of the Kunlun Taoist House quickly replied, "These Silla women are all the mistresses of a high-grade Taoist priest. This high-grade Taoist priest fell into the Skynet a few years ago and was first detained in the Kunlun Taoist House. Then they also
Followed here."
Qi Xuansu said, "That's not right. Our Taoist sect is not involved. Even if high-quality Taoist priests are arrested, as long as they are not involved, they will not be involved."
There is no reason to arrest them."
The chief replied, "To be honest, Chief Qi, these Silla women were not arrested by us. They just came here to cooperate with the investigation, but then they stopped leaving. The situation here is more complicated. They are a special kind of mistress and cannot be treated as equals."
To an ordinary mistress."
Huangfu Ji had already understood, "You might as well just say slave."
"What Huangfu said is true, that's pretty much what he meant." The Taoist priest in charge was already sweating a little.
Qi Xuansu said again, "That's not right. Even if they are slaves, our Taoist sect has abolished the slavery system and even abolished the humble status. They should be repatriated to their place of origin. Why are they brought to Kunlun Taoist Mansion again?"
The Taoist priest in charge took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "They were given to that high-quality Taoist priest by the powerful people of Silla. If they are sent back to their place of origin, they will inevitably remain slaves and be transferred to others, so
They are not willing to go back and would rather stay in Kunlun Taoist Prefecture. Speaking of which, these Silla women have been raised like skinny horses since they were young. They only learn some singing and dancing and the ability to serve men. They cannot carry their shoulders or lift their hands. We will take them in.
, we can only arrange it here."
The so-called thin horses are generally divided into three levels. The upper-level students learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, singing and dancing, and are more talented than some ladies in the world. They are the so-called talented women. The middle-level students learn accounting and management, can manage the house, and can also start a career.
The upper class is a virtuous wife. The lower class is a celebrity who specializes in cooking and housework. She is a good wife in the eyes of many men.
These must be cultivated from an early age, and after more than ten years of hard work, they will eventually be sold to the rich and powerful as concubines or mistresses at a high price.
Whether you like reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant flowers, or you like a smart and capable woman, or you like a good wife and loving mother who takes care of her husband and raises her children, there is always one that suits you.
Otherwise, powerful people are used to enjoying it.
When they get older, but they still cannot sell it and cannot find a suitable buyer, they will end up in brothels, where they are expected to become oirans.
This is the "skinny horse".
These Silla women happened to be of the highest class, otherwise they would not have been presented to high-quality Taoist priests by Silla dignitaries, and it would have been difficult to make a living.
Qi Xuansu nodded, "So, you have done a good thing. It's just about treating diseases and saving people, and you also need to give them skills."
Huangfu laughed and said, "Silla people are just not promising. As early as the Zulong period, they donated women to Zulong's court. That's right."
She was a tribute girl. During the Daqi period, she was also famous as a Silla maid. During the Dawei period, she was still a Silla concubine and a Silla palace maid. Counting from Zulong, nearly two thousand years have passed. To this day, Silla can take advantage of
, she is still a woman from Silla, she has just changed her name, and there is really no progress at all. This kind of inheritance for thousands of years is also amazing."
Li Wuji sighed with emotion, "It is said that the Japanese are ambitious, but if you want to be ambitious, you must have strength. In this aspect, the Japanese are much better than Silla."
After telling Silla jokes, the tour ends here.
Because the Kunlun Taoist Palace is only one step away from Yujing, the delegation did not stay overnight at the Kunlun Taoist Palace and set off directly for Yujing.
It’s finally time to arrive in Yujing.
As the Grand Master on duty, the Imperial Master would of course not greet him in person, but the Taoist Sect still gave him a high-standard reception, and the Master of the Ancestral Sacrifice Hall, Ning Lingge, personally came to greet him.
After arriving in Yujing, Qi Xuansu no longer had to accompany him, and had his own ancestral hall responsible for foreign affairs reception.
So after Qi Xuansu said hello, he took a step forward and returned to Beichen Hall.
The nine halls of Daomen may be said to be famous, but in reality, these nine halls are not very eye-catching, or in other words, they are not ostentatious.
Ziweitang, the head of the nine halls, is located in Zifu and is attached to Jinque. The other eight halls are located in Xuandu, coincident with the direction of the Bagua. If you look down from above, you will find that Jiutang, Jinque and Zixiao Palace form the basis of the Tai Chi Bagua.
pattern.
As the saying goes, the most important thing in the country lies in worshiping the Rong. When it comes to the word "Rong", Tiangang Hall deserves the title, so Tiangang Hall occupies the position of the Qian Gua, which is the northwest position. Beichen Hall is also related to the "Rong", but it is outright and upright.
Therefore, it occupies the position of Kun Gua and is located in the southwest.
Tiangang Hall and Beichen Hall are not far apart, which is also convenient for the intelligence secrets to be transmitted and connected as soon as possible and submitted to the plan. Zhengyi controls Tiangang Hall and Taiping Road controls Beichen Hall. They also cleverly used the dispute between Zhang and Li to make the two halls unable to
To truly join forces to control the military power, I have to admire the ingenuity of Xuansheng's original design.
Qi Xuansu led a large group of people to the gate of Beichen Hall. Beichen Hall had already received the news, and Shen Mingxin, the second deputy hall master, came to greet him, including Qi Xuansu's secretary Chen Jianchou.
Qi Xuansu and Shen Mingxin exchanged a few words, mainly because Shen Mingxin complimented Qi Xuansu for his hard work and new achievements.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qi Xuansu has returned victorious this time. All parties in the Taoist sect have given a high standard of reception to the Xidaomen mission, which also shows that the Taoist sect recognizes the "achievements" of the Xidaomen this time.
, Qi Xuansu naturally completed the tasks assigned by Daomen properly.
Master Qingwei can't be said to be disappointed. After all, it was his idea to use Qi Xuansu, and he even had the intention to go against everyone's opinions. Now that Qi Xuansu has made meritorious deeds, Master Qingwei's face is both bright and meritorious, which shows that he has the ability to recognize people.
No one would jump out to make Qi Xuansu unhappy at this time.
After entering Beichen Hall, Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry to see Master Qingwei. He first ordered Lu Yujue to place Audrey properly. The two had known each other since the Southern Continent, and Lu Yujue was an old man from Beichen Hall, so it was naturally more appropriate. Then.
Qi Xuansu took Chen Jianchou back to his security room.
Speaking of which, Qi Xuansu has not been to the chief mortgage room a few times. However, during the period when Qi Xuansu was away, Chen Jianchou was responsible for taking care of this place. This is why Qi Xuansu deliberately did not take Chen Jianchou with him. He needed to be in Yu
Jing has a reliable confidant.
As early as the Daqi period, ten military envoys from Fanyang, Hedong, Pinglu, Shuofang, Hexi, Anxi, Beiting, Longyou, Jiannan and Lingnan would set up backyards in the capital.
The ten Liuyingyuan are responsible for the various affairs of the ten Jiedu envoys in the capital, ranging from the dispatch of money and food, the presentation of memorials, the purchase of gifts, and the coming and going. In addition, the Liuyingying is also responsible for each Jiedushi.
The intelligence agency stationed in the capital not only collects local intelligence and submits it to the court, but also serves as the eyes and ears of the Jiedushi in the capital.
In the Daomen era, various local governments also set up their own agencies in Yujing, which were called the Beijing-based signature houses. Their nature was similar to that of staying in the backyard.
Qi Xuansu stayed far away from Yujing. He could not be deaf and blind, but he also had to keep track of Yujing's movements. Chen Jianchou was left in Yujing by him. He did not need to set up a signing room in Beijing. His signing room in the main hall of Beichen Hall was just right.
suitable.
For example, Chen Jianqiu was in charge of purchasing gifts this time.
Qi Xuansu asked directly, "How are the gifts prepared?"
Chen Jianqiu replied, "Chief, according to your request, I purchased gifts that were shipped from the Southern Continent and have the characteristics of Tawanting. They are crystal skulls that can talk and sing. It is said that after gathering thirteen genuine ones, you can
For predicting the future, I bought an imitation, which can only speak and sing, but cannot predict the future. It is good as a decoration. There are also Tawanting pottery figurines, two each of Cihang and Mrs. Tantai. These total
It cost about eight thousand nine hundred peace dollars, and according to the chief's wishes, all was recorded in the old lady's account."
With that said, Chen Jianchou took out two suitcases and placed them in front of Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu opened it and glanced at it, "Very good."
