When Qi Xuansu went to the Tawanting Palace for the first time, the attitude of the imperial guards was not very friendly, and the palace manager was full of resentment towards Qi Xuansu. But how could they have imagined that Qi Xuansu would break into the palace in just a few days?
And in front of them, he deposed the emperor.
It wasn't until this moment that they realized the value of the four words "Taoist messenger" and why Taoist messengers were called angels.
They still don't read history and lack understanding of the history of the Central Plains.
As early as the reign of Emperor Wu, this was the case for envoys from the Central Plains. When an envoy went to a small country, his status was higher than that of the king, and he would often kill the king on the grounds of "not obeying the king's rule." There was even an envoy who committed adultery with the queen mother.
, beheaded the king in court, pointed at the king and cursed, etc.
If the king dares to kill the envoy, or refuses to listen to the envoy, his country will be destroyed immediately. Therefore, there is a famous saying: "The army has arrived, don't move, otherwise the country will be destroyed."
The strength of the Taoist sect is far greater than that of Emperor Wu. Although the Taoist sect has become more civilized and does not teach or teach, the power of the Taoist envoys will only be greater than that of the Central Plains envoys, not less. Qi Xuansu still has full power.
Special envoy, the word "quanquanquan" is added in front of the envoy. This position should have been held by Pingzhang Dazhen, but now it has been given to Qi Xuansu. One can imagine the great power in it.
Some people look at people with old eyes and think that Qi Xuansu is the chief deputy hall master, which is a big mistake. The plenipotentiary special envoy, representing the Taoist sect, really means destroying the country if he acts.
The two of them watched helplessly as the emperor was taken away by the people from the temple, leaving only the two of them behind.
The two men were unambiguous and immediately knelt down to Qi Xuansu, begging Qi Xuansu for his life.
Qi Xuansu didn't look at them at all, and naturally ignored them.
Big people will only grasp the general direction and will not care about the small details.
Huangfu Xi was very discerning and gathered the guards brought by Manudancha. These guards were loyal to the emperor, but the high priests had already acquiesced in the emperor's dethronement. Naturally, they would not resist to the end and immediately defected to the new master.
Father and daughter, who are you loyal to but not loyal to?
Huangfu Xi immediately ordered the guards to arrest the commander of the imperial army and the palace manager and interrogate them strictly.
Although both of them had good cultivation, they did not dare to resist in the face of the general situation and could only surrender.
Qi Xuansu waited there for a while, and someone from the Ixichel Temple came over.
The chief priest of the Sun Temple is an old man, and the chief priest of the Full Moon Temple is a middle-aged beautiful woman. In terms of appearance, she is not inferior to Unuratu, but she has a different style, with a gentle and graceful temperament.
Modesty. It seems that Ixichel is particularly fond of women, especially beautiful women.
The full moon high priest Xiang Qixuan
Salute and greet.
"No need to be polite." Qi Xuansu got straight to the point, "You must have received the oracle from His Highness Full Moon, right?"
"Yes." High Priest Man Yue said, "Please give me your instructions, Master Qi."
Qi Xuansu said, "Take someone to the palace and send Unuratu to the Full Moon Temple, so that she can cultivate herself well. She is not allowed to go out without orders from me and His Highness Full Moon."
"Yes." Full Moon High Priest responded, leading a group of female priests towards the palace.
After arranging the arrangements for the emperor and empress, Qi Xuansu walked in the temple area.
Because there was such a big commotion, the temple area was very quiet at this time, without the usual bustle, there were no believers, and there was no grand occasion of blood sacrifice.
Huangfu Xi walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Qi Xuansu, but was half a body behind.
Power is only responsible to the source of power. For Huangfu Xi, her main source of power is this Qi Zhenren.
Although Qi Xuansu doesn't like to cultivate empresses, fate has played a trick on people, and two women have already passed through his hands and become queens or empresses. However, to the Taoist sect, empresses of this level are nothing, and the real meaning of a female master is
The empress of heaven.
But now it seems that it should be difficult.
The situation is gradually becoming clearer. In the seventh generation, it is Qingwei Zhenren versus Donghua Zhenren, and in the eighth generation, it is most likely that Li Changge will be against Xuansu.
It is worth mentioning that both Qingwei Zhenren and Li Changge have married or are preparing to marry the princess of Daxuan, while Donghua Zhenren and Qi Xuansu are inclined to marry into the Zhengdao Cihang lineage.
Qi Xuansu won't talk about it. There are few people who don't know about him and Zhang Yuelu.
The key is Donghua Zhenren.
Qi Xuansu left Chen Jianchou in Yujing as his "backyard". Chen Jianchou was not idle and sent Qi Xuansu a message a few days ago.
Many people suggested to Master Donghua. Although it was very euphemistic, the meaning behind the words was the same, that Master Donghua and Master Cihang should become Taoist couples.
Although Master Donghua and Master Cihang are both very young. In an ordinary family, seventy years is rare, and it can even be said that they live only a few years. However, looking at the hundreds of years of life of Daoists, they are only sixty years old.
A little more than half has passed, and there are still nearly forty years of good times left, so it’s never too late.
This has to be said about Qi Xuansu's foresight. He mentioned it a long time ago
He came up with this idea because in his opinion, it was a good thing that would benefit both sides.
First, the Zhang family will give full support, because the Zhang family faces a problem, who will take over from Tianshi? Zhang Yuelu is very good. After all, he is a generation behind. It is not now to take over. He has insufficient cultivation and qualifications, so it is impossible to directly take over.
The chief deputy palace master jumped to the position of deputy head master Da Zhenren. Now the most powerful competitor for the position of Tianshi is Cihang Zhenren. If Cihang Zhenren loses the election, it will be even more so as compensation.
But from the bottom of their hearts, the Zhang family does not want to give up the position of Celestial Master, nor does it want to give birth to another Celestial Master with a different surname, but they cannot but consider the feelings of Master Cihang. What should they do? If Master Cihang can become the wife of the Grand Master, then
This solves the dilemma. In terms of status, the Grand Master’s wife is no less inferior to the Deputy Master, the Great Master. When the Grand Master is unable to take charge of the affairs, the Grand Master’s wife acts as the acting Grand Master. This is also a manifestation of the equality of the Taoist sect, and can be regarded as an ancestor.
This is a great way to strengthen the unity of the righteous people.
The second best thing is that Cihang Zhenren also has many supporters. Many Jurchens choose to support Cihang Zhenren. If Cihang Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren become a Taoist couple and become husband and wife, these votes will definitely be transferred to Donghua Zhenren.
, uniting Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Tao in various senses, plus the lineage of the Grand Master, it is almost certain that Zhenren Donghua can overwhelm Zhenren Qingwei and become the seventh generation Grand Master. After all, the Daxuan royal family did not vote.
The power to elect the Grand Master.
Third is the best. For the two parties involved, there is no better choice than this. In terms of family background, both the Su family and the Pei family are second only to the three major aristocratic families, and they are well matched. In terms of status, the two of them are
They are all the top three Shenzhi masters, and they are evenly matched. In terms of realm and cultivation, they are all immortals, no matter how they look at it, they are a match made in heaven. Moreover, Donghua master is not married to Cihang master.
They are not married, it is their first marriage, no one is at a disadvantage, and there is no problem of children. Their beloved disciples have also laid the foundation for it in advance. This is a close relationship.
With so many benefits, it is not surprising that so many people are determined to promote this matter. Especially several of the Celestial Master's contemporaries, the ancestors of the Zhang family, are very enthusiastic. In order to keep the position of Celestial Master in the Zhang family,
No longer caring about his status, he deigned to become a matchmaker.
The key is that although Master Donghua and Master Cihang did not agree directly, they did not reject it outright, and their attitudes were ambiguous.
There is also precedent for this. The reason why Emperor Wu came to power was closely related to the support of his aunt when he married his cousin. The reason why Emperor Wu's brother failed was also related to his mother's rejection of the eldest princess's marriage.
If Master Donghua and Master Cihang reject the Zhang family's kindness, it is difficult to see how the elders of the Zhang family will react.
Having said that, I am afraid that even the Celestial Master cannot control it. After all, the Celestial Master's days in the human world are numbered. He does not have time to rebuild a power system, so it is impossible to overthrow the current power system, which will lead to the loss of the Celestial Master's authority.
This is not a problem for the Celestial Master alone. The same is true for the National Master and the Earth Master. As the period of the third division's ascension approaches and the handover of two generations, the three realms have experienced varying degrees of instability. The Li family, which is known as a monolith, begins to have internal conflicts.
In the fight, Master Donghua disobeyed the Earth Master and replaced Yao Pei with Qi Xuansu. Needless to say, the Zhang family had the most trouble.
If the Zhang family jumps out of the battle for their own interests and persists in nominating Cihang, it is very likely that Qingwei will get a big advantage. Therefore, Donghua and Cihang are under pressure and dare not refuse rashly at this time, or even
A marriage is very likely.
At this point, Qingwei Zhenren is incomparable. Who knows that he is already married?
After Qi Xuansu heard the news, he couldn't help but be filled with emotion. If this really happened, should he be called mother-in-law? Or should he be called master's wife? Or should he be called "Madam" in terms of job title? The wife of the great headmaster's wife.
The Grand Master is the first Taoist priest, and the Grand Master’s wife is the First Lady.
Who is the second Taoist priest? Strictly speaking, it is Emperor Daxuan.
Qi Xuansu retracted his thoughts and told Huangfu Xi who was following him, "When you go back, draw up a list, sort out some unstable factors, pay attention to screening, and as long as you are willing to hand over power, don't embarrass them. The main thing is to maintain stability."
First, it’s up to you to control the specific details.”
"Yes." Huangfu Xi responded.
This is her first answer sheet, so she must answer it well.
Qi Xuansu continued to walk in the temple area and looked around the various temples.
Huangfu Xi was not in a hurry to leave, and still followed Qi Xuansu, just making plans silently in his mind. The prince's people, the queen's people, were all over the government and the public, it was impossible to get rid of them all, but if they were willing to do anything, they could still stay.
part.
Qi Xuansu suddenly asked, "I want to take the opportunity of abolishing the emperor and empress, and Tawanting will abolish the blood sacrifice in the form of a formal decree. The past matters will not be investigated. After the decree is promulgated, whoever wants to perform blood sacrifice again and still does not stop will be punished."
What do you think about punishment?"
Huangfu Xi was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, "This is good governance, comparable to the abolition of human burial, and has immeasurable merits. But some temples and the ancient gods behind them may not be satisfied. Especially... especially Kukulkan."
"
Qi Xuansu sighed and looked at the pyramid temples again, "Yes, the ancient gods will not be satisfied."
