The Qingping Association could not force Xie Linyuan to take action, so Qi Xuansu still shouldered some of the responsibilities of a lobbyist.
A formation has been set up here to isolate the inside and outside to prevent prying eyes. Qi Xuansu had no scruples and said: "This time, it is not just the Qingping Association, the main force is the Daomen."
Xie Linyuan was stunned for a moment: "Who means this?"
Qi Xuansu whispered: "It was arranged by Master Donghua himself."
Xie Linyuan understood and did not speak again, but nodded slowly.
As the chief counselor, Donghua Zhenren’s identity cannot be simply compared to that of the chief minister of the imperial court. At the same time, he also has the status of half of the "prince". No matter how many years the chief minister of the cabinet stays, he will not be the emperor. But
However, Donghua Zhenren has a great possibility of ascending to the position of Grand Master. This is the biggest difference between the two, and their weight is not the same.
Qi Xuansu continued: "Zhenren Donghua will be grateful for the kindness of all those who provided help."
This is a promise made by a Taoist prince. If Donghua Zhenren can really become the Grand Master, then what he does today is also the merit of following the dragon in a sense.
Although Xie Linyuan is a member of the imperial court, he is not limited to the imperial court, and he does not want to be just a courtier for the imperial court, otherwise he would not join the Qingpinghui.
Xie Linyuan pondered: "My injuries have not fully recovered. At most, I have been dealing with the 'shopkeeper' for a while, and the 'proprietor'..."
Qi Xuansu said: "Qiniang will take action on her own."
Xie Linyuan nodded.
Xie Buying left the main hall and wandered in the courtyard. She happened to see a figure poking his head there, and couldn't help but laugh: "What are you looking at?"
After a while, a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old came to Xie Buying. She was Xie Linyuan's daughter, Xie Buying's cousin, named Xie Buying.
Xie Linyuan has no children, but he has a daughter. However, his cultivation level is too high and he is too old. It is impossible to have a son, so he can only raise a nephew.
The brother and sister have known each other for many years and have a very good relationship.
Xie Buying looked at this quirky little sister and said she was reproaching her with a very gentle tone: "There's no way she looks like a lady at all!"
Xie Buhua didn't care at all and smiled: "I heard that Dad invited Master Qi here?"
Xie Buying nodded and asked curiously: "Do you also know this Master Qi?"
"What's wrong with this?" Xie Buhua pouted, a little dissatisfied that his cousin looked down on him, "When I went to the poetry club a few days ago, I heard several sisters talk about it."
Associations are not illegal, only secret associations are illegal. Associations between women are nothing more than poetry clubs. Madams have their wives’ social gatherings, and these wealthy ladies also have their own social gatherings, which are not mixed. There are many close friends in the boudoir, and handkerchief dating is
From this, it is natural that rich ladies have not left the court, unlike noble ladies who are keen on all kinds of children's marriages, that is, poetry and poetry, and are prone to sentimentality.
Xie Buying asked curiously: "What did your sisters say?"
"It is said that Master Qi is fierce and domineering, not gentle and elegant at all." Xie Buhua said.
Xie Buying smiled and said: "After all, he is the one who is rectifying the atmosphere of the Imperial Capital. A gentle and elegant person cannot do such an errand. Why are you interested in him?"
Xie Buhua shook his head and said: "I am not interested in him, but I would like to meet the legendary Zhang Gaogong."
"The legendary Zhang Gaogong." Xie Buying couldn't help but be startled, and then she realized that it was Zhang Yuelu, the youngest third-grade Youyi Taoist priest in the Taoist sect.
I don’t know when it started. Many women admire Zhang Gaogong very much and become her fans inexplicably. They believe that she will definitely become the eighth generation master and hold up half the sky on behalf of women.
Xie Buhua had a headache. It was a trend passed down from the Taoist sect. Today's young women do not recognize the three obediences and four virtues. It is not easy to suppress it forcefully. After all, the Taoist sect denies Confucian ethics and no one wants to be saddled with a stubborn and perverse person.
The crime. Fortunately, these young ladies are very clean-minded and shout loud slogans, but they lack the ability to support themselves. As long as they start from the financial aspect and put a little restraint, they can be brought into submission immediately.
Of course, there are exceptions for women like Lei Xiaohuan. Whether she is a daughter at home or a wife when she gets married, it is all the same. Whether it is the Confucian era or the Taoist era, capable people can always get the respect of others, not
Rely on the charity of others.
Xie Buhua sighed in an old-fashioned way: "I don't know what Zhang Gaogong is thinking. Even if he can't keep his integrity for a hundred years, he should still find an unparalleled hero with colorful auspicious clouds at his feet. Why do you choose such a person? Several of my friends heard that
After talking about this incident, they all said they had misjudged the person and stopped supporting Zhang Gaogong and instead supported Master Yao. There were also a few who were even more disgusting. After getting married, they never mentioned Half the Sky again, but actually supported Li Changge. Instead of supporting Li Changge, they also
It's better to support Qin Lingge and look good anyway."
Xie Buying burst into laughter.
Zhang Gaogong and Master Yao called Li Changge by their first names when they arrived. They were in conflict with each other.
It was quite serious. These fans were even more anxious than Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei themselves. After all, Zhang and Yao had to call Li Changge "Li Yongyan" instead of calling him by his first name when they met him in person.
What are these women thinking about all day long?
At this moment, Xie Buhua suddenly heard a strange voice saying: "It is true that some women in this world are very concerned about whether men can protect themselves from wind and rain, but some women are unwilling to do this. They think that if men can do it, they will also
Able to do it, independent and self-reliant. Zhang Qingxiao is such a woman. When she chooses a Taoist partner, she only considers one question, whether she likes it or not. A hero with colorful auspicious clouds is certainly an excellent support, but when will she need others to protect her from the wind and rain?
Already?"
Xie Buhua was startled, turned around and saw a man standing not far away.
Xie Buying saluted and said: "Master Qi, this is my sister Buhua."
He then said to Xie Buhua: "You haven't met Master Qi yet?" .??.
Only then did Xie Buhua realize that the strange man in front of her was Master Qi. Judging from his face, he was not as fierce and intimidating as she had imagined. Also, his words just now made Xie Buhua feel suddenly enlightened and couldn't help it.
Holding a fist, he said: "Yes, I did not misjudge the person. Zhang Gaogong is the number one among women, far better than Master Yao."
It turned out that Qi Xuansu was about to leave after discussing the relevant details with Xie Linyuan. However, when he was leaving, he heard Xie Buhua's words and couldn't help but defend Zhang Yuelu and himself.
At this moment, Xie Linyuan, who stood up to say goodbye, finally spoke: "Bu Hua."
Only then did Xie Buhua come back to his senses and hurriedly saluted Qi Xuansu and said, "I have met Master Qi."
Qi Xuansu returned the gift.
Xie Linyuan said apologetically: "My little girl has no status, it's all my fault for spoiling her."
Qi Xuansu said: "Sir, you are serious. Our Taoist sect does not pay attention to these red tapes."
After that, Qi Xuansu said goodbye and left.
Xie Linyuan didn't even send the guests to the door, but asked Xie Buying to see them off for him. He stood there and watched.
After a moment, Xie Linyuan withdrew his gaze, looked at his only daughter, and sighed: "If you could really learn from Zhang Gaogong, instead of just talking here all day long, you would be able to comfort your ancestors as a father."
.”
Xie Buhua refused: "Why do I only know how to talk?"
Xie Linyuan was too lazy to reason with his daughter. He also knew that talents like Zhang Yuelu were born, and the Zhang family valued her.
If left alone, Cihang's lineage was not taken seriously at first, but she was able to become a talented person, and she also had great ambitions. This kind of person cannot be learned from others.
Qi Xuansu, on the other hand, was a little curious about how Qiniang taught him. Although he started late, he had great stamina and already had the ability to catch up from behind. If he had more opportunities, he might not be inferior to Zhang Yuelu.
As an assistant minister in the cabinet, he could naturally see that Qiniang had a big plan. She was in the world and had a great family, but she pushed Qi Xuansu to a high position in the Taoist sect.
He even had a guess that to do big things, you need a substitute. As big as a country, establishing a prince is the top priority, which is known as the foundation of the country. As small as a family, having a son and training him to be a talented person, not being deprived of the family, not ruining the family, is also the top priority.
It's a big deal. So the substitute Quanzhen Tao has prepared is Qi Xuansu. If anything happens to Yao Pei, whom they have carefully trained, Qi Xuansu can be the substitute.
As for the Zhang and Li families.
The former is not that they don't want to, but that they can't. The Zhang family has been visibly poor in talent over the years. Not to mention substitutes, there are no forehands. If there are outstanding talents in the big sect, Zhang Yuelu, who is both a small sect and a compassionate person,
It is most suitable for a woman from the Hang family to serve as a substitute. Unfortunately, the Zhang family does not have such talents, and they do not want Zhang Yuelu to inherit the mantle of the Heavenly Master. There are endless internal disputes, and there is no final decision yet. Now it depends on whether the Heavenly Master has this talent.
Determination, giving up the name behind him, and finally giving him a helping hand can be regarded as a desperate move.
The latter has a replacement, and that is Li Tianzhen. However, Li Tianzhen has a flaw, and his level of cultivation is slightly insufficient. After all, the only "Heart of the Immortality Stone" has been given to Li Changge, and the Li family does not have more.
Xie Linyuan couldn't help but sigh.
Nowadays, when the Taoist sect elects a great master, it is not only related to the interests of the people of the Taoist sect, but also touches the heartstrings of other people. The appointment of different great masters means different policies, which will have different impacts. Naturally, other people will have to
Make different adjustments and responses.
Not only the imperial court, but also major secret societies, from the countries in the Western Region to Fenglin Continent, Borneo, East Posas Continent, and even the Holy Court and the Arcane Council in the far west are also paying close attention to the pending position of the Grand Master.
.
It's a pity that others can only watch and worry, and the power of final recommendation is still in the hands of Taoist people.
After Qi Xuansu left the Xie family's residence, he contacted Qiniang and asked about other first-class members.
Of course, some words can be said in the Zimu Fu or in a "dream meeting", but for many important matters, it is best to talk face to face.
