Zhang Yuelu looked at this calligraphy and could not help but think of the Fenglinzhou war that was about to begin.
It's just that the use of troops against Fenglinzhou was a matter unanimously approved by the three deputy leaders, Dazhenren and Jinque, so the focus is not on "an ominous weapon", but on "using it as a last resort".
This war at Fenglinzhou was not the Taoist sect’s original intention, but an unexpected incident. On the surface, the Taoist sect did use its troops as a last resort. If the war were won, then the Taiping Dao would benefit the most, and it is hard to say whether the Taiping Dao had already
If you have a good layout, you should respect yourself.
If you really want to lay hidden clues, you won't take action only when the situation is about to happen. The foreshadowing may have been laid in previous generations, and it was not until this generation that the foreshadowing was revealed. The predecessors planted trees, and the future generations enjoy the shade.
From this point of view, the aristocratic family has many disadvantages, but it can do very well in maintaining the consistency of decision-making. Especially for a family like the Li family with orderly inheritance and strong cohesion, there is almost no possibility of the death of the people and the death of the government.
Not to mention changing orders day and night.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Yuelu suspected that the Li family was fueling the Fenglinzhou war. At all times and in all countries, military exploits were the most important and most effective. Others, such as financial and administrative affairs, etc., were difficult to achieve as immediate results as military exploits.
It's just that Zhang Yuelu didn't ask the doubts in her heart because she understood that even if she asked, the Heavenly Master wouldn't tell her. If the Heavenly Master wanted to say something, he would take the initiative to tell her. And judging from the current situation, yes or no,
There is no point anymore. Daomen cannot lose this battle.
Unanimity to the outside world is the only remaining consensus among the three Taoisms. This "outside" probably does not include the Daxuan court. In a sense, the court is also part of the Taoist sect. The Taoist sect is the upper Taoist sect and is in charge of ghosts and gods. The imperial court is the lower Taoist sect.
Face the people.
But this "outside" must include Fenglinzhou. In the last war in the Western Regions, Taiping Taoism, as the farthest orthodoxy from the Western Regions, did not participate much. The main force was Quanzhen Taoism. This is why Ning Lingge, as the Quanzhen Taoist counselor, did not
Because he has served as the leader of Tiangang Hall for a period of time, Taiping Dao has indeed not hindered Quanzhen Dao at this time. Furthermore, in order to prevent the two from being restrained or stabbed in the back, Taiping Dao will definitely tie up the other two.
Get on the chariot.
Sure enough, foreign enemies are always the best way to unite the interior. It is no wonder that when internal conflicts cannot be reconciled, wars are launched to divert the conflicts, which is always detrimental.
When Zhang Yuelu was thinking, Tianshi just looked at this most promising granddaughter calmly. Tianshi didn't marry a wife and have children, so naturally he didn't have a granddaughter, but he was the patriarch of the Zhang family and the head of the family, so all the Zhangs of the "Yue" generation
The girls in the family are all his granddaughters. There is only one generation between parents and children, and there is a huge gap. There are two gaps between grandfather and grandchildren, which cannot be crossed at all. But it is probably because the distance is too far.
, on the contrary, grandfathers and grandchildren no longer have too sharp conflicts, can have a sense of beauty, and can often live in harmony. This is roughly what happens when grandparents are grandchildren.
Ignorant children don’t care. Grandchildren are old fools and don’t care when they become grandfathers. Everyone takes a step back and the world is brighter.
"Master Tian." Zhang Yuelu said softly.
The Heavenly Master waved his hand: "I have said that you should use honorific titles in front of others, but you don't have to do so in private."
Zhang Yuelu smiled: "Ah Weng."
My father is called "Dad" and my grandfather is called "Aweng".
Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but think about what Li Changge would call him when he met the National Preceptor. Both of them were of the same generation, so they wouldn't call him "eldest brother" or "brother." It would be a bit funny.
Just as Zhang Yuelu was about to speak, he suddenly felt the "Zhongji Sutra" vibrating.
She glanced at Tianshi.
The Heavenly Master waved his hand and motioned for her to contact him directly.
Zhang Yuelu walked to a nearby corner and unfolded the "Zhongji Sutra". It was Qi Xuansu. The background was the gate of Zixiao Palace. Zhang Yuelu immediately knew that it was Qi Xuansu who was blocked from the gate of Zixiao Palace.
Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu said a few words briefly, closed the "Zhongji Sutra", and looked at the Heavenly Master: "Ah Weng, I want to bring someone in."
"The Zhang family's son-in-law who made a shocking leap for you?" Tianshi asked in a rare joke.
Zhang Yuelu felt a little embarrassed when he was in front of his elders: "Anything like a son-in-law is just spread by those people who do good things."
The Heavenly Master smiled and said: "Let me just say, there is a Zhang family's son-in-law whom I, the head of the Zhang family, have never seen before. That is really a novel news. Since they have already arrived, let's invite them in. Don't let them stay all the time."
Waiting outside, if someone with bad intentions sees it again, they will think that our Zhang family does not understand the etiquette of hospitality."
After that, the Heavenly Master wrote another order to Zhang Yuelu.
Although this kind of warrant issued by Deputy Headmaster Da Zhenren is not as good as the pass token in Zhang Yuelu's hand, it can be regarded as a temporary pass.
Zhang Yuelu took the order, turned around and left Biyou Palace.
Qi Xuansu, who was waiting outside the gate of Zixiao Palace, had nothing to do. He could only walk slowly around Yaochi, occasionally looking up at the huge boat like a hill on the lake.
It's spring after the Spring Festival. The imperial capital is still covered with snow, but Yujing is like spring all year round. However, because Zifu has the highest terrain, standing here, you can even vaguely see the mountains in the distance, and the snow falling on Yushan.
Such a contrasting scene can be said to be rare in the world.
Qi Xuansu simply stayed here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kunlun, until Zhang Yuelu came behind him and patted his shoulder.
"Deputy Hall Master Qi, I've kept you waiting for a long time. The Heavenly Master is here to invite you." Zhang Yuelu was in a good mood, and his words were not as formal as usual.
Qi Xuansu immediately sensed Tianshi's attitude from Zhang Yuelu's tone, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he passed the test of Tianshi, the rest of the Zhang family would not have anything to worry about.
It is true that there are many Zhenzhi Zhenren, Zhenzhen, and even Pingzhang Dazhen within the Zhang family, but they are neither Zhang Yuelu's direct relatives nor the heads of the Zhang family. Even if they object, they are suspected of being unfair.
In other words, Zhang Yuelu himself agreed, Zhang Yuelu's immediate family members agreed, Zhang Yuelu's master agreed, and the patriarch in charge of the entire Zhang family also agreed. If you don't agree, what do you do?
Qi Xuansu naturally felt confident, but then suddenly remembered that Zhang Yuelu asked him to think carefully about how to face the Heavenly Master, but he seemed to be unprepared, not even a decent gift.
Qi Xuansu quickly expressed his concerns to Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu waved his hand: "Forget it, you are a junior and so poor, so what kind of gift should I prepare? Maybe the Heavenly Master will give you a meeting gift."
After saying that, Zhang Yuelu showed the Heavenly Master's order to the spiritual official guarding the gate, and led Qi Xuansu into the Zixiao Palace.
To be fair, there is a big gap between the Zixiao Palace and Qi Xuansu's imagination. He originally thought it was a beautiful scenery in the sky, but in fact it is not the case. As the residence of the Grand Master and the three deputy Masters, the Zixiao Palace naturally has the atmosphere of an immortal family.
But it didn't give Qi Xuansu a big shock. However, he thought about it and understood. Taishang Taozu said that I have three virtues, which are compassion and frugality, and dare not be the first in the world. Since I advocate frugality, naturally I can't do it.
The grandeur of a heavenly palace or an immortal palace is just a slap in the face.
In a broad sense, the Zixiao Palace is very large. When Qi Xuansu entered the gate, he did not see the Grand Master's Zixiao Palace. He only saw a lake along which the palaces of the four masters were distributed.
Zhang Yuelu led Qi Xuansu to the west. There were many spiritual officers guarding him along the way. However, after seeing Zhang Yuelu, they did not stop him and let them all go.
This made Qi Xuansu realize that although the current Taoist priests in the Taoist Three Shows are not high-level and their positions are not very high, they do contain huge energy. Take the Zixiao Palace as an example, and replace it with an ordinary Shenzhi master
Coming in, you may not be able to walk so smoothly, but Zhang Yuelu, a third-grade Youyi Taoist, did it, and the profound meaning is naturally self-evident.
Qi Xuansu reminded himself that although many people now say that he is the fourth show, it can be seen from such small things that he is still far behind the third show.
The distance is huge, so we cannot get carried away.
Arriving at Biyou Palace, Qi Xuansu felt a little familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he found that the layout here was somewhat similar to that of Shangqing Palace in Yunjin Mountain.
Soon, Qi Xuansu was led by Zhang Yuelu to Tianshi's study.
The Heavenly Master was still standing behind the desk, not sitting down, but Qi Xuansu hurriedly saluted.
The Celestial Master was very kind and spared Qi Xuansu's courtesy: "I am only meeting you as a grandfather this time, not as a Celestial Master, so there is no need to be too formal."
The Heavenly Master meant that Qi Xuansu should only uphold the etiquette for treating his elders, and there was no need to bring out the same behavior when facing the deputy headmaster Da Zhenren.
Qi Xuansu followed the good deeds and followed the flow.
The Heavenly Master asked Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to sit down, chatted a few more words, and then actually gave Qi Xuansu a meeting gift.
It was just this meeting gift that made Qi Xuansu almost jump.
The Tianshi took out a file and handed it to Zhang Yuelu, and then said: "A few days ago, after Jinque passed the resolution on Xuan Su serving as the third-grade deputy hall master, Feng Xiantang received a letter of report. Such a thing,
Feng Xian Tang should have handled it alone, but since it concerns Yue Lu, it was sent to my desk."
Qi Xuansu's heart tightened.
It's not because Tianshi calls him by his first name. Tianshi is the elder among elders. Calling a junior by his name instead of a word is not a curse, but it is in line with the rules. The key is that the report letter mentioned by Tianshi was something he did in the past.
Those things were exposed? It shouldn’t be. This kind of matter usually has to be handed over to Beichen Hall. How could Fengxian Hall handle it alone? Is it also related to Zhang Yuelu?
Zhang Yuelu had already opened the file, and after turning a few pages, he couldn't help laughing, and then handed the file to Qi Xuansu.
After Qi Xuansu read it, he almost got into a fight.
The thing in the file is very simple. A woman reported that Qi Xuansu had been having trouble with her and then abandoned her. She said that the two were classmates during the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. As early as that time, the two had tasted the forbidden fruit and made a private life. The woman also
She aborted a child for Qi Xuansu. Later, Qi Xuansu went to Yujing and lost contact. Later, when Qi Xuansu entered Tiangang Hall, she came to see Qi Xuansu, but by that time, Qi Xuansu had already been favored by Zhang Yuelu and climbed up the high branches of the Zhang family.
Then Qi Xuansu became a betrayer, ignored her, and even threatened her several times...
You can imagine Qi Xuansu's anger. He just wants to do it. The key is that he keeps his integrity like a jade. Even Zhang Yuelu didn't succeed. This woman's red mouth and white teeth were stained by him. The key is that this kind of thing is like yellow mud.
If it falls in the crotch, it is either feces or feces.
