Chapter 177: Picking up the pen and looking around at a loss
The gift is very good, but Qi Xuansu is not in a hurry to give it. He needs to finalize the draft of the report first. This draft cannot be left to others and must be completed by Qi Xuansu himself.
People say that when you draw your sword and look around you feel confused, Qi Xuansu felt as if he was looking around with a pen and feel confused.
Although he started drafting the first draft when he was in Danxiushan, when he arrived in Yujing, he still had not officially finalized it.
This report is not easy to report.
Master Qingwei's side is just one of them, the key is to go to Jinque to discuss it.
Why is Qi Xuansu confused?
Because there is a context here, which is the follow-up actions of Dao Sect. How to do it, how to do it, and what direction it is, are closely related to Qi Xuansu's report.
Some people may want to say, there is nothing to worry about, just write normally.
If things in the world were really that simple, it would be better.
The situation Qi Xuansu is facing now is that he could have written a report according to normal logic, but under the influence of various external forces, he had to integrate various viewpoints, or in other words, find a balance between various forces.
Again, this will be related to the next Taoist decision-making.
What are these external forces? What are the so-called “views”?
In fact, it is very simple. Should we coexist as equals or interfere with force? Should we develop harmoniously or promote integration?
There are big differences here.
Although Qi Xuansu has his own views and positions, it does not mean that Qi Xuansu will have a head-on conflict with some people now. Qi Xuansu can also be regarded as someone who has been on the battlefield. On the battlefield, there is not only forward charging, but also temporary retreat and patience. Let go.
On this battlefield where there is no smoke, it means giving in and compromising.
Sometimes compromise is about moving forward better in the future.
Not to mention, the current rotating Grand Master is the National Master, and his immediate boss is Master Qingwei. Qi Xuansu simply cannot withstand such great pressure.
Now there are two ways in front of Qi Xuansu. One is to follow the above meaning and win a relative balance with necessary compromises. The other is to seek truth from facts and say one thing after another, but this involves a lot of risks.
What does Qingweizhenren mean?
Qi Xuansu had communicated with Master Qingwei beforehand, and Master Qingwei said rather cryptically that Qi Xuansu's contribution would not be erased, and Jinque would recognize and affirm Qi Xuansu's contribution. However, Qi Xuansu's report should not only talk about merit, but also
We have talked about it, and we must talk about it in a big way. We must start from the overall situation and talk metaphysically about the problems and shortcomings revealed by this incident in the Southern Continent.
If you have a problem, you must solve it.
How to solve the problem?
Of course, you need to be deeply involved in it in order to understand the issues and
and solve the problem.
There is nothing logically wrong with this.
But what would Xidaomen think? Moreover, this is contrary to Qi Xuansu’s ideas.
When it comes to route issues and direction issues, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong based only on the surface rather than practical verification.
When they were in Nanyang, after the family banquet, Zhang Yuelu took Xiao Yin and left first, leaving only Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji. Huangfu Ji took this opportunity to take the initiative to talk to Qi Xuansu.
Huangfu Ji said, "I heard that regarding this report, Beichen Hall's opinion is to talk about problems and shortcomings."
Qi Xuansu did not ask where Huangfuji heard about it, but asked, "Is this what Taoist brother Huangfu is here for?"
"Yes." Huangfu got straight to the point, "Frankly speaking, I don't agree with it."
Huangfuji's tone was very serious, "Yes, I don't agree. In the past three years, or even thirty years, the achievements of Xidaomen in fighting for the independence of the southern continent and fighting against the Holy Court invaders are obvious to all. From the nine Daomen who were defeated by the Daomen,
From the real people recognized by the Taoist sect to the real people not recognized by the Taoist sect, including those thousands of soldiers fighting on the front line against the Holy Court, it can be said that each of us is fighting with our lives, fighting from the thorns.
A bloody road has been blazed, and it no longer relies on the hard work of a certain person, but on the hard work of thousands of people. Only by working hard and moving forward can we achieve today's results."
Huangfu Ji paused for a moment, "But now, some people want to deny our achievements, talk about problems and shortcomings, I think this is very unfair to Xidaomen! It is also absolutely difficult to agree. Of course, I am not Jin
Que's Shenzhi Zhenren, I am not qualified to participate in Jin Que's discussion, let alone have the right to express any opinions, I can only express my opinion to Qi Dao Brother."
Qi Xuansu understood very well that Huangfuji's words not only represented him personally, but also represented the entire Xidaomen.
So Qi Xuansu said, "Of course I understand what Taoist Brother Huangfu said. My stance and my views are not unknown to Taoist Brother Huangfu. But just as Taoist Brother Huangfu said, I am also not a counselor of Jinque."
Although real people are qualified to participate in Jinque discussions, they are only reporting and observing, and do not have the right to express opinions."
Huangfu Ji said, "Of course I know about this, but on such a big issue of right and wrong, I can only count on righteous people like Dao Brother Qi to fight for justice."
What else could Qi Xuansu say?
none
No matter whether he is a righteous man or not, he cannot reject Huangfuji.
He needs to implement his position and views, and also needs Xidaomen's support and recognition.
But it's a dilemma.
Just when Qi Xuansu started writing but could not finish it, and was recalling his conversation with Huangfu Ji, Li Zhuyu came to Qi Xuansu's signing room.
The signature room of the chief deputy hall master is of course "deep in the courtyard" and is divided into several floors, including a living room, a small meeting hall, a study room, a quiet room, etc. Qi Xuansu's study room is inside, and Chen Jianqiu's secretary is outside.
room.
Chen Jianchou immediately stood up and said, "Vice Hall Master Li."
Li Zhuyu looked at Chen Jianqiu and said, "Secretary Chen, is Chief Qi here?"
Chen Jianchou replied, "Chief Qi is signing the pledge room, but Chief Qi has ordered that no one else should disturb except for the affairs of the real person in charge."
Li Zhuyu didn't make much fuss. This was the confidence of the chief deputy hall master. The second deputy hall master was still at the same level, and the other deputy hall masters were all subordinates. Except for the master of the hall, including the second deputy hall master, the others
People really have no right to demand anything from the chief deputy hall master.
Li Zhuyu asked again, "Does Chief Qi have any plans today? For example, Xidaomen's foreign affairs activities, or visiting real people in other Taoism halls."
Chen Jianqiu said, "That's not true. Chief Qi is currently busy reporting on the manuscript."
Li Zhuyu smiled and said, "That's why I'm here. Secretary Chen, can you tell me that I want to talk to Chief Qi?"
When Chen Jianchou was about to speak, Qi Xuansu opened the door and walked out, so he silenced his voice and stepped aside.
"Dan Jin is here." Qi Xuansu said, "You are a rare visitor, what brought you here?"
"Danjin" is Li Zhuyu's cousin. The two worked together in Fenglinzhou and Borneo, and now they are under the same roof of Beichen Hall, so they talk more casually.
Li Zhuyu stopped talking to Chen Jianqiu and turned to Qi Xuansu, "Chief Qi, since you came to Beichen Hall, you have not stayed in this room for more than ten days. Where can I find you?"
You can’t let me follow you to the Southern Continent.”
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "So, it's my fault."
With that said, Qi Xuansu turned around and pushed open the door and entered the reception room inside, jokingly saying in a joking tone, "The deputy hall master Danjin is here. He must have some advice. I am all ears."
This was not a strange situation. Qi Xuansu could probably guess what Li Zhuyu came to see him for, so he deliberately used jokes to adjust the atmosphere.
Li Zhuyu
He knew this very well, and with a smile on his face, he followed Qi Xuansu's words and said, "I don't dare to give advice. I'm not Chief Zhang, how dare I give advice to Chief Qi."
Qi Xuansu pretended to be dissatisfied: "Dan Jin, are you saying that I am henpecked? Or are you saying that Chief Zhang is like a tigress?"
"I didn't say anything. You said it all yourself." Li Zhuyu waved her hands repeatedly.
She was actually laying the groundwork to make the atmosphere more relaxed first so that there would be a buffer so as not to offend Qi Xuansu.
The two of them sat down respectively, and Chen Jianqiu came in with tea.
Li Zhuyu held up the tea cup with her hand, but looked at Qi Xuansu and said, "Chief Qi, I read the draft of your report, and frankly speaking, I think it's inappropriate."
Qi Xuansu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
Li Zhuyu also adopted a calm and matter-of-fact attitude, "You have added a lot of content talking about Xidaomen's achievements, which is about half and half as much as talking about problems."
Qi Xuansu did not deny, "That's right. I did talk about this issue dialectically from two aspects."
Li Zhuyu slowed down his tone and spoke earnestly: "Tianyuan, this won't work. If it is discussed at the Jinque meeting, it will conflict with the spirit of the higher-ups. Now it is very clear. The higher-ups have affirmed the contributions of you and Xidaomen.
, the next step is to look for problems and deficiencies, and then improve the goals and directions for the next step based on the problems and deficiencies. If you present your results like this, you will be suspected of taking credit."
Qi Xuansu did not refute Li Zhuyu's words, but said, "I know, but I just have to consider the feelings and mood of Xidaomen. No matter what, we are all Taoist friends, from the same sect, and we cannot write two words of 'Tao' in one sentence.
If it chills people's hearts, the impact will be extremely far-reaching. This is a bigger problem that cannot be ignored."
Li Zhuyu said, "But this time we are mainly reporting to Jinque and discussing internally, not reporting publicly, let alone telling the world."
Qi Xuansu put down the tea cup in his hand, "Even if you want to find problems, you should do it on the basis of seeking truth from facts. Gong is merit, and fault is fault."
Li Zhuyu sighed, and instead of confronting Qi Xuansu, he changed directions: "Before I came to see you, the Imperial Master had already summoned the real person in charge, and his intention was self-evident. The Imperial Master attached great importance to this Golden Que
When discussing matters, I would like to say something unpleasant from the perspective of a friend, but you can’t push back, let alone hit the stone with an egg.”
Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, "I have no hard feelings, I will just say one thing. This credit does not belong to me, Qi Xuansu, nor does it belong to our Beichen Hall. It belongs to the tens of millions of people in the West Dao Sect and the Southern Continent. It is also the hard support of countless manpower and material resources from all over the Dao Sect."
How can we not talk about the results? How can we not make it clear?"
