Chen Jianqiu's rapid rise was not only due to Qi Xuansu, but also due to Xu Jiaorong and Donghua Zhenren.
People from the three families of Zhang, Li, and Yao were able to serve as chiefs of Shangsantang at a young age. In addition to their own abilities, it was also a bonus of the family. They represented the interests of the family.
The same is true for Chen Jianqiu.
Chen Jianqiu represents the Chen family of Dayu Kingdom.
Although the upper limit of the Chen family is locked, the lower limit is quite guaranteed.
With the downfall of Chen Shuhua and the deposed Chen Shuzhen, the Chen family, as a local leader, suffered a huge blow. Although Qi Xuansu promoted Chen Shuwen and Chen Jianqiu, at the Taoist level, the Chen family lost a person who could speak out on behalf of the family and lacked a sufficient voice.
An important official figure.
Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that people in the Chen family will be upset. The Taoists will either decide to uproot the Chen family and complete the de facto implication to avoid future troubles. Or they will give a sweet date a slap in the face to appease them.
Now it seems that Daomen does not intend to give up on the Chen family, and does not want the Chen family to be buried with Chen Shuhua. It is enough for Chen Shuzhen to bear the main responsibility.
In this case, we cannot blindly suppress, we need to appease, we need to promote an official figure representing the Chen family to calm the hearts of the Chen family, give the Chen family a reassurance, and let them understand that Daomen has not given up on the Chen family. Daomen has not given up on the Chen family.
It's a case-by-case basis, and Chen Shuhua's matters have nothing to do with anyone else.
Obviously, this candidate must be someone recognized by both the Chen family and the Taoist sect.
At this time, Chen Jianchou became a suitable choice.
The role of Qi Xuansu and Xu Jiaorong has also been highlighted. They can make Chen Jianqiu stand out from the many Chen family members - there are so many people named Chen, why choose Chen Jianqiu? Just Qi Xuansu and Xu Jiaorong.
From the Taoist point of view, it doesn’t matter whether Chen Jianchou is a side branch, as long as his surname is Chen is enough. The key point is that Chen Jianchou is the adopted son of a Taoist man, and the side branch is better because he relies on the Taoist sect to rise to power and will be closer to the Taoist sect.
, Relying on Taoism, but Chen Shuhua, who relies on his own ability to rise to the top, will inevitably become alienated from Taoism after being locked up.
There are not many core members of the Chen family, but after hundreds of years of reproduction, the entire Chen family has penetrated into all aspects of Nanyang, especially the Yu Kingdom, and has a huge influence.
Speaking more broadly, appeasing the Chen family is about maintaining stability.
Everyone knows that stability is no small matter.
For the sake of stability, it actually doesn’t matter whether you take credit or not.
Chen Jianchou can still be the deputy palace master without merit or qualifications. In the future, if Chen Jianchou has merit and qualifications, he will not be able to enter the Golden Palace. There is a high probability that the chief will die. Now Chen Jianchou is in his thirties.
Become the deputy palace master, and in a few years, become the third palace master. When you are forty, you will be promoted to the second position, and when you are fifty, you will be promoted to the chief position, and then you will be waiting to retire in the position of chief.
This means that there are gains and losses. The lower limit and upper limit are locked, and it is more like the nature of toast with a new layer of skin.
Of course, Chen Jianchou is not completely hopeless. If Qi Xuansu becomes the head master, then there will be no big problem for Chen Jianchou to rely on Qi Xuansu to enter Jinque. At this time, he is completely relying on Qi Xuansu and has nothing to do with the Chen family.
So when discussing this matter, Master Donghua gave three reasons. The first is that the Chen family's problem needs to be solved; the second is that Chen Jianqiu is reliable enough and will not make the same mistake as Chen Shuhua; the third is that
Chen Jianqiu is familiar with the situation and has the ability.
It just so happened that troubles occurred one after another in Nanyang, the old Taoist priests were causing trouble, and Xie Jiaofeng was reported. It was natural for Master Donghua to raise the issue of stability in Nanyang at this time.
No one else objected. Firstly, the influence of the Deputy Palace Master was limited and would not affect the overall situation. Secondly, under the premise of stability, if you want to oppose Chen Jianchou, you must come up with another replacement plan and candidates, and then compare them.
, there really was no more suitable candidate for a while.
Under such circumstances, Chen Jianqiu quickly caught up with his senior Xie Jiaofeng.
However, the appointment will take a few days, and Qi Xuansu cannot leave immediately. After all, he is going to Borneo Taoist Mansion in the name of sending Chen Jianchou to his appointment. He cannot just go to Borneo alone. That would be too drunk.
Weng Zhi no longer cares about drinking.
When Qi Xuansu returned home, he found that Wu Niang and Xiao Yin were not there. After asking around, he found out that these two people had gone to Taiqing City.
Qi Xuansu had nothing to do, so he also went to Taiqing City.
Taiqing City is still the same, with the familiar statue of Taoist ancestors, various shop fronts, and the extremely conspicuous Phoenix Tower.
Then Qi Xuansu saw from a distance a few people standing on the pedestal at the foot of the Taoist statue, promoting the protection of dragons. The content of the propaganda was nothing special, except that dragons had not been seen for many years, and the dragon clan was almost extinct.
Many people gathered around, and I don't know if they were watching the fun or if they really believed it.
The world is always rising in a spiral, and it always takes some twists and turns. Confucianism is right about one thing. Only those who are practical can understand etiquette. If the world is peaceful, the moral level will rise, but there are still problems, and they may become extreme.
Planting clear currents is very popular.
Qi Xuansu didn't know how these people who protected dragons arose, but they were very popular among the Huayuan Taoist priests.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly jumped up and said loudly: "Because of your words, I was very unhappy, so I decided to go back and eat dragon meat to have fun. Remember, this dragon is because
You died."
This little figure is none other than Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin likes eating dragon meat very much, and Qi Xuansu has already given her the dragon meat he brought back, and by the way, he also gave her the Xumi object that he replaced.
Xiao Yin is naturally a staunch "dragon-slaying sect", and he dislikes these people who protect the dragon.
So this scene happened.
It's just that Xiao Yin's appearance is really not scary, and the onlookers don't think what Xiao Yin says is true. They just think that Xiao Yin is talking nonsense, and instead burst into laughter.
However, the Taoist priest who preached the protection of dragons was so angry that he reached out to catch Xiao Yin, and then took this naughty child to her parents to reason with him.
But Xiao Yin only looked at humans and animals as harmless, and was actually a little bully. There was nothing these ordinary Taoist priests could do. Instead, Xiao Yin caught the Taoist priest with her backhand and asked her loudly if she would accept it.
Soon, the patrolling officer arrived, and the Taoist priests who were protecting the dragons immediately gathered around and complained to the patrolling officer, asking whoever wanted to cause trouble was justified.
If the target of the accusation is a young and strong man, then this trick can still work. But Xiao Yin is just a child, and you have a large number of people. It makes no sense to say that a child bullies you.
Even if what you say is true and this child can really bully you, a child with such a level of cultivation must be extremely talented and have a great background. If they provoke such a child, aren't they asking for trouble?
The patrolling officer was not a fool and would not be fooled by this. Although he would not openly favor Xiao Yin, he acted like he was doing business and did not believe the accusations of these people at all. Instead, he said that these Jiaolong Taoist priests were talking nonsense and bullying children.
They started provoking troubles and finally took these Jiaolong Taoist priests away.
Xiao Yin was so proud of his victory that he pointed at the Taoist priest Jiaolong who was taken away and said with a smile: "Justice is in the heart of the people."
Only then did Wu Niang show up and call Xiao Yin down.
The crowd gradually dispersed, Qi Xuansu came to the two of them and told Wuniang about the situation.
After hearing this, Wu Niang said: "You really don't have a moment to spare. You just came back and are about to leave. I won't go."
Qi Xuansu said: "There is already Master Landa in Borneo, and there is no point in having another Master Pingzhang, because this is not a hands-on matter. I just ask Wu Niang to help me take good care of this girl and let her
Don't cause any trouble."
Qi Xuansu himself didn't quite believe this. He was afraid that with Wu Niang as his backer, Xiao Yin would become even more lawless. However, Qi Xuansu had no other choice, so he could become a living horse doctor.
Wu Niang seemed to see Qi Xuansu's doubts and said sternly: "Don't worry, I won't indulge her."
When she said this, Wu Niang actually showed the same cold expression as when she first met Qi Xuansu, which often made people mistakenly think that she was a more serious and serious person.
Of course, Wu Niang is never ambiguous about important matters. Since she guarantees this, it is still guaranteed. Xiao Yin's happy days are really coming to an end.
Two days later, the appointment of Chen Jianchou came down, and his position was clarified in the official letter. He was appointed as the deputy head of the Borneo Taoist Palace and took over the related matters that were originally responsible for Xie Jiaofeng.
Also coming down at the same time was the temporary appointment of Qi Xuansu, who was responsible for sending Chen Jianchou to his post.
In this way, Qi Xuansu can go to Nanyang in good faith.
However, Qi Xuansu did not intend to go there in person. Because of He Luo Shen, Qi Xuansu's incarnation of the military solution was greatly strengthened and underwent a qualitative change. Not only did he have pseudo-immortal cultivation, but he also did not need to rely on external objects and could exist for a long time, just like before.
The incarnation of Zhou Mengyao.
Qi Xuansu wanted to play a two-pronged approach. The situation in Nanyang was complicated, so he asked Bingjie, who had a higher level of cultivation, to go to Nanyang. When others thought he had gone to Nanyang, his true self secretly went to Jiangnan Daofu to meet Zhang
Jucheng, this can be regarded as building a plank road openly and secretly visiting Chencang.
Speaking of which, Nanyang was once the territory of the God Ho Luo. After God Ho Luo became a Taoist, she lived in Nanyang for a period of time. This was also her second hometown. Of course, Nanyang at that time did not belong to the Taoist sect, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons.
No one came to trouble God He Luo, so God He Luo was very free for a while.
When Qi Xuansu's incarnation stepped onto the flying boat, He Luo Shen's voice also sounded in Qi Xuansu's ears: "I wonder what Nanyang is like now."
When necessary, God He Luo can take over this incarnation with Qi Xuansu's permission, and can naturally communicate with Qi Xuansu through the incarnation. The current state of the two is somewhat similar to the state when Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang shared the same body.
Qi Xuansu responded: "Nanyang under the rule of Taoism was naturally very different from the Nanyang of your time. Westerners were driven away, and all kinds of ghosts and ghosts were wiped out. It can be said that this was the most prosperous and prosperous era of Nanyang."
