Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, he saw a strange young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest was very respectful: "I am the deacon Taoist priest of Ziweitang. On the order of Deputy Hallmaster Lei, I would like to invite Director Qi to meet her in the lobby of Ziweitang headquarters."
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered that his nominal boss was neither Shi Bingyun nor Donghua Zhenren, but Lei Xiaohuan.
He followed the young Taoist priest out of the alley, got on a deer cart, and headed for the main lobby of Ziweitang.
Qi Xuansu said that yesterday was the first time he entered Zifu. In fact, it was not accurate. When he left Yujing for Imperial Capital, Master Donghua once talked to him. At that time, he had entered Zifu, but Ziweitang was located in Zifu.
From the periphery, you can't see Jinque, Zixiao Palace, or even Yaochi, so Qi Xuansu never felt that he had really entered Zifu. It wasn't until yesterday, when he took the Imperial Master's boat and landed in Yaochi, that he
Take a look at the true appearance of Zi Mansion.
Ziwei Hall is the only entrance located inside the Zi Mansion. It is easy to leave the Zi Mansion. To enter the Zi Mansion, you must go through a strict inspection, so Qi Xuansu left sensitive items such as fish charms at home beforehand.
The two entered the Zi Mansion through the side door. Not far away was the main lobby of Ziweitang. Under the leadership of the young Taoist priest, Qi Xuansu came to Lei Xiaohuan's signing room.
Seeing Qi Xuansu come in, Lei Xiaohuan, who was sitting behind the desk, stood up and walked around the table: "I'll treat you with admiration after three days apart. When I first met you, I never would have imagined that in two years,
From the seventh level to the third level, jump four levels in a row."
Qi Xuansu said: "Zhenren Lei is overly praised. Now I am only a Taoist priest of the fourth grade wine offering."
"You will soon be a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest." Lei Xiaohuan took out a document and handed it to Qi Xuansu. .??.
Qi Xuansu took the document and looked at it. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel happy.
This is a letter of appointment.
The content is not complicated. Apart from those clichés, it mainly talks about one thing. The Qi of the Five Elements Mountains has changed. Qi Xuansu, the head of Ziweitang, participated in calming the Qi and maintained the integrity of Beilong. He has made outstanding contributions and was promoted to the third level.
Deputy Hall Master, the seal of Jinque is stamped below.
There are no ranks in Taoist official positions. The deputy hall master is the deputy hall master, and there is no term for several ranks. The rank corresponds to the Taoist priest himself. The reason why the promotion of Qi Xuansu to "third-rank deputy hall master" is emphasized here is because this is what has been mentioned
Position level. To put it bluntly, Qi Xuansu will only be regarded as a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest when he is the deputy hall master. Once he is dismissed and stops his duties, he will still be a fourth-grade Jijiu Taoist priest.
In addition, this job level
, or the temporary grade system, which is generally one of the wartime systems. Qi Xuansu's ability to be awarded a job grade should be related to the nearby Fenglinzhou war. This also means that Qi Xuansu will most likely be dispatched to the Fenglinzhou battlefield.
Qi Xuansu read the letter of appointment carefully several times and was filled with emotions.
"According to logic, the leader should personally announce the appointment. However, due to the Feng Linzhou incident, Master Donghua has been very busy recently and has no time for the time being, so I will announce this appointment to you on his behalf. Congratulations, Vice-President Qi.
Lord." Lei Xiaohuan smiled.
"There is Mr. Lau Lei." Qi Xuansu thanked him with cupped hands.
Lei Xiaohuan has always regarded Qi Xuansu as one of his own, and joked: "Okay now, if you accompany Deputy Hall Master Zhang home for the New Year, no one will say that you are a freeloader. She is the Deputy Hall Master, and so are you.
Deputy Hall Master, this is called evenly matched."
Of course, having said that, there are actually some differences between Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu. Not to mention that Zhang Yuelu is a real third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, not a job grade. Just talking about their rankings, there is a difference. Tiangangtang and Zi
Wei Tang also belongs to Shang San Tang. Because Shangguan Jing died in battle, Zhang Yuelu moved one place forward and ranked eighth in Tiangang Hall. Qi Xuansu filled the vacancy left by Qi Jianyuan and was the ninth deputy of Ziwei Hall.
Hall master.
However, Dao Sect has always advocated streamlining the power structure, so the nine deputy hall leaders do not mean that they are divided into nine levels. Except for the first and second seats, the other deputy hall leaders are all on equal terms in name, no matter where they are ranked. It can only be said that they are ranked
It is easier to reflect the amount of power in one's hands.
Now that Qi Xuansu has officially become the "official" of Ziweitang, he naturally has to understand his responsibilities.
The Jiutang of Daomen refers to the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers of the imperial court to a certain extent, but it cannot be completely equated with the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers. Take Ziweitang as an example, it is indeed equivalent to the official staff of the imperial court, but in many cases it takes into account both.
Some of the responsibilities of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. For example, in the previous dynasty, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were often appointed as imperial envoys to inspect local areas and were called "governors." As for the governor becoming a fixed local official position, that was only later.
Today's Ziwei Hall also has this function. The deputy hall master often serves as an "imperial envoy" to inspect local areas on behalf of Jinque, or presides over a certain case. Lei Xiaohuan often plays such a role.
Since Qi Xuansu has not arranged any specific errands, most of his duties are to serve as various special envoys and conveners, representing Ziweitang and Jin Dynasty.
Que, representing Taoism, goes to various local Taoist offices to inspect and inspect.
Qi Xuansu was actually quite satisfied. At least she didn't have to be bored in Jade Capital all day long, and the officials in the capital were always at the first level of Beijing University. Take Lei Xiaohuan for example, when she served as the convener of the seven-person group, even in Jiangnan
The Taoist master wanted to give her three points.
If we talk about disadvantages, of course there are also them, that is, there will not be too many direct subordinates. Not only compared to Tiangang Hall, but also compared to the Imperial Palace, they are much inferior.
This is also something that can't be helped.
Then there is the remuneration issue that Qi Xuansu is more concerned about. Because it is a job grade, his regular salary has not been adjusted. However, in terms of job subsidies, he has changed from principal to deputy hall master, which has correspondingly increased by 100 yuan in peacetime. Qi Xuansu's original salary per day
The basic monthly allowance of NT$200, plus various subsidies, totals NT$300 per month. Now the basic monthly allowance remains unchanged, and the subsidy increases by NT$100, so it becomes a monthly basis of NT$200.
Four hundred yuan in peace money. After one year, the total income is 4,800 yuan in peace money.
While Qi Xuansu was overjoyed, he couldn't help but think of Qiniang.
I have to admit that although Qiniang couldn't help him get promoted directly within the Taoist sect, it gave him a relatively fair environment. Without this fairness, even if he made meritorious services, he might not be able to get promoted immediately.
You must know that the personnel arrangements at the deputy hall master level have already been discussed by Jin Que. Without some background connections, it is not that easy. Especially for young people like Qi Xuansu, who are framed by the suspension system, even if they have done enough credit,
It's also a dilemma. One disadvantage is that after a few more years of training, he can be promoted exceptionally. Either there is a real big shot who has spoken out, such as Zhang Yuelu as the deputy hall leader. Or there is someone who has made great efforts.
No matter what the situation is, it is inseparable from Qiniang.
Qi Xuansu originally wanted to report good news to Qiniang, but then he thought about it, Qiniang was well-informed and might know it earlier than him, and she was probably still competing for the "Pai Sheng" at this time, so it was better not to disturb her.
Lei Xiaohuan led Qi Xuansu to his signing room, which was right next door. Because Ziweitang is located in Zifu, its area cannot be compared with that of the Jade Palace, so the signing room is naturally much smaller, even smaller than Zhang Yuelu's signing room.
The room is a bit smaller, with only three rooms inside and outside. The outer room is where the secretary is, the middle room is the living room and study room, and the inner room is the quiet room and bedroom.
Qi Xuansu came to the bookcase. On the table were the clothes and crowns of the third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. The main thing was that the crown was changed into the "Five Mountains Crown", also known as the "Five Mountains Spiritual Picture Crown", which was in the shape of a bucket, with the "True Shape Picture of the Five Mountains" engraved on it.

Next to it are his urn and the "Zhongji Sutra Urn" corresponding to the third-grade Youyi Taoist priest. There is nothing much to say about the urn. Compared with the "Intermediate Sutra Urn", the structure of the "Intermediate Sutra Urn" is similar to that of the "Chu Zhen Sutra Urn", but it is more ornate.
Speaking of which, the issuance and management of urns and sutra urns are also within the scope of Ziweitang's responsibilities, so a lot of things are saved. The "Zhongji sutra urn" is equivalent to a middle-grade treasure. In addition to the role of the mother-in-law talisman,
In addition, it also has the function of "Message Array", but it can only bind one object each, which is quite inconvenient.
It is said that after switching to the "Shangdong Sutra Urn" corresponding to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, the restrictions will be relaxed.
Qi Xuansu has already thought about it. The Zimu Talisman should be bound to Zhang Yuelu, and the "Xun Talisman Array" should be bound to the lobby of Ziweitang headquarters. This means that there will be no delay between public and private affairs.
Lei Xiaohuan suddenly remembered something and said again: "As for the candidate for your secretary, we haven't decided yet. What do you think?"
According to the usual practice, most of these close candidates are decided by the deputy hall master. They are usually close confidants of the deputy hall master. Take Zhang Yuelu as an example. Mu Jin is her secretary. When she was still in Beichen Hall, Mu Jin was already
Followed her.
Qi Xuansu became famous in less than two years, so how could he have such confidants? He thought for a while and said: "When I was working in the Imperial Palace, I had a secretary named Ke Qingqing. She was from Master Shi, so she was a close friend.
Basically, it’s pretty easy to use.”
Lei Xiaohuan nodded: "It shouldn't be difficult to transfer her from the Imperial Palace."
This is another advantage of Ziweitang. It has the power of personnel and transfers at the deacon level, with just one sentence.
For Ke Qingqing herself, it was like pie in the sky. Because of Qi Xuansu's words, she was transferred from the local Taoist government to Yujing Jiutang, or Ziweitang, the head of the nine halls, and from a secretary in charge
Becoming the deputy hall master's secretary has a bright future. It can be regarded as a kind of "one person attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven".
Of course, there is both prosperity and loss, and Ke Qingqing is tied to Qi Xuansu's chariot. If Qi Xuansu can make great progress, Ke Qingqing will naturally rise to the top. But if Qi Xuansu overturns, Ke Qingqing will inevitably be doomed. Gains and losses will never be recovered.
They are all two sides of one body.
After explaining these things, Lei Xiaohuan finally said: "After Qi Jianyuan's death, his subordinates were assigned to other deputy hall masters by the head master, so you don't have subordinates for the time being. The specific arrangements may have to wait until the Fenglinzhou war.
it's over."
Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "I am just a polished general."
