Going from Yujing to Dayu Kingdom is much closer than going to the Southern Continent. It is really like traveling across the sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.
That afternoon, Qi Xuansu and Chen Jianchou's flying boat landed in Guijian Lake with a crash.
This time it was Pei Xiaolou who came to greet him.
When Qi Xuansu met, he just said "Uncle", and Pei Xiaolou waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I feel uncomfortable all over. We should go our separate ways. You don't know, Lao Lin and Lao Ji have always taken advantage of me."
Just kidding. So, don’t mention ‘Uncle Master’, we still refer to our titles when we work.”
Qi Xuansu did not force it, and said: "Then I will take care of business, Deputy Palace Master Pei."
"Hey, this feels much more comfortable." Pei Xiaolou rubbed his chest.
It was still a long way from Guijian Lake to Sheji Palace, so Qi Xuansu took the opportunity to learn about the recent situation in Nanyang with Pei Xiaolou.
Pei Xiaolou said: "In general, it's okay. The Zhang family has exerted its strength. Master Lan Da personally talked to Palace Master Yao. Palace Master Yao still takes the overall situation into consideration, so Xie Jiaofeng's matter is limited to Xie Jiaofeng alone and does not involve other people."
The old Taoist priests didn't make any trouble either. For the sake of the Heavenly Master's sake, they still hope to send Chief Zhang's gift out of the country as soon as possible. It's the 'Heavenly Court' side..."
Qi Xuansu's heart moved, "What happened to the 'Tianting'? Do they still dare to take action?"
Pei Xiaolou said: "How should I put it? The Heavenly Court did take action, but it didn't call for beating and killing, but reported many people from the Taoist government."
Qi Xuansu was startled: "How did they report it?"
Pei Xiaolou said: "Report the bribe taker as the bribe giver."
Qi Xuansu said in surprise: "According to the Taoist law, bribers will also be punished. Doesn't this mean killing the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred?"
"That's right." Pei Xiaolou said, "I don't know what Taipingdao thinks. I think they are crazy."
Qi Xuansu thought for a while: "I don't think so. Once a large-scale corruption problem occurs, there are two positions that cannot escape the blame. The first is the real person in charge of the palace, who is in charge of personnel. The second is the second deputy palace owner,
This is the person in charge of the law. Since Master Yao has taken care of the overall situation of the Taoist government, then they have to give Master Yao some color. This is one of them. It is the critical moment for Xu Cixi to be promoted to chief. This kind of problem occurs
, will also be affected, this is the second one."
"There is also a third point. They came for me, but they just failed. This has nothing to do with me being the second seat, because everyone knows that my main purpose for being the second seat is to bring down Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua.
With Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua, my mission has been completed, and the rest has nothing to do with me. The key is that when I was the chief, they had wooed Yu Zheng overtly or covertly. Right, Yu Zheng?"
Chen Jianchou immediately said: "It's Master Deng Yu from the 'Tianting'. He invited me for tea through Assistant Tang and wanted me to help them with things. I rejected him."
Qi Xuansu stretched out his index finger and tapped a few times: "What does good people get good rewards? This means good people get good rewards. No matter you or Qing Xiao, as long as you control yourself, stick to the bottom line, and be a good person, all their weird tricks will be useless.
No, you. Thinking about it on the other hand, if you had not been able to control it at the time, you would have fallen into the ditch now and been tricked by others. It will be difficult for gods to save you."
Chen Jianchou said: "Speaking of which, I'm a little scared. Not only are these people pervasive, but they also have far-reaching plans. That is to say, my parents died young and I have no wife or children, which makes them unable to do anything. If I have a family, I'm afraid
They will bypass me and start directly with my family. If my family doesn't know what's going on and takes their benefits without telling me, then I really can't defend myself."
Pei Xiaolou said with emotion: "Women often say that the person they trust in their life is not a good person, so they need to find a good person to trust them with for the rest of their lives. Men, on the other hand, have a good wife at home and will not cause any trouble. They must be vigilant in this regard."
Qi Xuansu then asked: "Yuzheng, when you go to the Lion City this time, it is a world of flowers. You must control yourself and don't let others take advantage of the loopholes. Money is something external to the body, and women are red and pink skulls. The word 'wealth and sex'
It's a poison that penetrates the intestines, and you still have a long way to go."
Chen Jianchou heard something between the lines. If something went wrong with Chen Jianchou himself, then even if Qi Xuansu succeeded in taking office in the future, it would be difficult to promote him. Even if we don't talk about morality and only talk about interests, we must restrain ourselves.
.
It's not that Li Minghuang doesn't understand this truth, it's just that he is too arrogant and doesn't care about it. Anyway, he doesn't ask for the position of great leader. He is not a breadwinner because of his reputation. He is also gifted and has a chance of immortality. As long as he doesn't commit the crimes of Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua.
This kind of principled mistake of betraying the Taoist sect, it doesn't matter if you can always reach the rank of Pingzhang Dazhen by virtue of your immortal cultivation.
Master Landa is an example. If his cultivation level is high enough, as long as there are no big problems, his position will be extremely stable. Hu En'ahan is also an example. Only if his cultivation level is high enough can he make a comeback. If he doesn't have the cultivation level of a pseudo-immortal, why should Master Qi order anything?
His general?
Qi Xuansu himself said that just because of this style problem, even if he was put on the scale, he could suppress Li Minghuang, but he could not kill him.
If it weren't for Qi Xuansu who took action to hold Li Minghuang down, Lu Yujue would have been unable to do anything against Li Minghuang.
Chen Jianqiu cannot compare with Li Minghuang in terms of talent, and his background is also a limitation, so he cannot be as unscrupulous as Li Minghuang.
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, who is Li Minghuang's adoptive father? He can make such an arrogant Li Minghuang bow his head and treat him as a son. I only know that his name is Li Tianqing, and he once had a conflict with Qingwei Zhenren. As for others,
, I really don’t know much about it.”
Pei Xiaolou is a seventh-generation disciple. He is much older than Qi Xuansu after all, and he still knows these things very well: "It makes sense that you don't know. Li Tianqing has been very low-key these years, rarely showing up, and living in seclusion. It's not that he doesn't want to take action.
But Master Qingwei is suppressing him."
"The Li family is a very strange family. Every few generations there will be a person who is extremely talented and rebellious. It's a bit disrespectful for me to say this, but it is the fact. Xuan Sheng is such a person. He relied heavily on the Li family back then.
Suppressing the Li family. When Qingwei was young, he was also like this. He was extremely talented, despised the family elders, disobeyed discipline, and often acted unexpectedly."
"You should have heard that many seventh-generation disciples of the Li family suffered from the 'venomous hands' of Master Qingwei, including Li Tianyue, Li Tianlan and others, but the real leader was actually Li Tianqing. Master Qingwei's name is Zhiqing, and even
At that time, there was also a saying that "the Li family is both pure". It can be said that if Qingwei Zhenren died, it would be Li Tianqing who came to power. Therefore, after Qingwei Zhenren came to power, he suppressed Li Tianqing the most severely, which directly caused Li Tianqing to almost disappear from the throne.
The gate has disappeared."
Qi Xuansu concluded: "The Li family's battle for the right to inherit the throne."
Pei Xiaolou said: "But Li Tianqing did not completely lose power, but turned from the front to the backstage, somewhat similar to Yao Yi from the Yao family. That is, Yao Pei's father, my brother-in-law, your master's brother-in-law, and Yao Shu's eldest brother
.”
Qi Xuansu had some clarity. If we ignore the sixth generation disciples and only talk about the seventh generation disciples, and regard the third prince as the number one figure, then each of the three roads has a hidden number two figure, and the first one is Zhang Jucheng
, Quanzhen Taoism is Yao Yi, Taiping Taoism is Li Tianqing.
Pei Xiaolou continued: "Li Tianqing is Li Minghuang's adoptive father and Li Minghuang's backer. It was he who introduced Li Minghuang to the Imperial Preceptor. Li Tianzhen also has a deep relationship with Li Tianqing. Otherwise, how could he have such power at such a young age?"
Qi Xuansu thought about many things.
When Li Minghuang abandoned Zhang Yuyue, he actually gave up on Zhang Jucheng as his father-in-law. The adoptive father he chose must be better than Zhang Jucheng, at least not inferior to Zhang Jucheng.
Then it is very reasonable for Li Minghuang to choose Li Tianqing. Zhang Jucheng is the number two person, and Li Tianqing is also the number two person. Essentially, Li Minghuang chose Taiping Road and gave up Zhengyi Road, and chose the Li family instead of the Zhang family.
This can also explain the subtle relationship between Li Changge, Li Zhuyu, Li Minghuang, and Li Tianzhen. Why didn’t Li Minghuang know about Lu Yujue’s return to Yujing? Someone must have deliberately not told him. Most people would not dare to do this. This person is probably Li Zhuyu.
.
Then it all makes sense. Li Minghuang is Li Tianqing's adopted son, and Li Zhuyu is the adopted daughter of Qingweizhenren. The conflicts between their fathers have also continued to their generation.
This is a point that can be exploited.
As for why Li Minghuang didn't choose Zhenren Qingwei as his adoptive father? In other words, why didn't Zhenren Qingwei accept Li Minghuang as his adopted son? After all, Li Zhuyu, the adopted daughter, was not as good as Li Minghuang.
Because Qingwei Zhenren has Li Changge.
In short, each of the three paths has its own complexities, but the problem has been simplified by the lack of talent in the first path. Only Zhang Yuelu has no choice. This is also the main reason why Da Zong quickly compromised. As long as there is someone who can compete with Zhang Yuelu,
Yeah, they wouldn't give in so quickly.
To put it bluntly, it's like an emperor choosing a prince. If he has enough sons, he can naturally do whatever he wants with them, and the emperor's mind can be used. But if there is only one son, there is no other way. You can't give the throne to your nephew.
Qi Xuansu thought of another question: "Speaking of Yao Suyi's mother, even though she is my senior aunt, I am not very familiar with her."
Pei Xiaolou said: "My name is Pei Shenfu, a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. I don't have a specific Taoist position now. I mainly work at Taiping Bank."
Qi Xuansu asked curiously: "Why do the three of you have completely different names? But you and Pei Xiaoyun both have the character '小'."
Pei Xiaolou said expressionlessly: "As long as you have the ability, you can change it to a more distinctive name. Master Qingwei changed it, and changed it to nothing. Li Wugu, my eldest brother and my second sister also changed it, Yao
Yi has also changed, I have no ability, so I have no choice but to call it this name."
Qi Xuansu thought for a while, "It seems that this is true. Qingxiao changed her name. She was originally named Zhang Xinyue. Wu Niang also changed her name, and her name was Qi Wu. Well...I changed it too."
Pei Xiaolou said: "I think Xiaoyin is about to change. Now people call her Qi Xiaoyin."
Qi Xuansu joked: "I happen to be of the same generation as you, the 'little' generation."
Pei Xiaolou was not angry: "If you have the ability, you can tell your master the same thing."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said: "My master does not have the word 'little' in his name."
