For thousands of years, there has been an iron rule. If the problem cannot be solved, solve the person who raised the problem.
Qi Xuansu could not change the Zhang family's attitude towards Zhang Yuelu, but he could subdue these Zhang family children who were jumping around.
The Ganoderma lucidum garden was very quiet, except for the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and no one raised any objections.
After all, the children of the Zhang family are not scoundrels, but young masters of aristocratic families. They take the initiative to stir up trouble and use wheel fighting. It is already very embarrassing. If they lose the key point, it will be even more embarrassing. If they lose the wheel fight and then talk harshly, it is not a matter of shame.
, but shameless.
Young masters can't do this kind of thing.
"Then there is no objection." Qi Xuansu turned and left.
Zhang Chiyue hurriedly followed Qi Xuansu with a complicated attitude.
Although he hoped that Qi Xuansu would win, he did not expect that these brothers of the same generation would lose so miserably. They were all members of the Zhang family, so naturally their faces were disgraced.
Qi Xuansu acted as if nothing had happened and said, "This fight has been going on for a long time. Let's go see the real person in charge of the palace as soon as possible."
Sanshengtang is the residence of the patriarch, but Tianshi is alone, has no Taoist companions, and has no children. He doesn't like to live alone in this empty place. He usually lives in Weifu Bookstore. It is said to be a bookstore, but it actually occupies a large area and has all the internal organs.
, he gave up Sanshengtang to Zhang Jucheng early.
Zhang Jucheng met Qi Xuansu in Sanshengtang.
Dazhen's Mansion was expanded on the basis of the Zhang family's private residence, so it has many courtyards within courtyards. If you can't fly over the walls, it's easy to get lost.
Fortunately, Zhang Chiyue led the way, and we soon arrived at Sanshengtang. Entering the courtyard, we first saw a screen wall with the Confucian motto "I examine myself three times a day" written on it. Behind the screen wall was a spacious courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard was a flying bridge, and below was a hand-excavated square.
In the lake, golden scales swim in the water, and white cranes stand proudly in the shallow water.
There are nine main rooms with high-ridged glazed tiles, and the three characters "Sanshengtang" written by the ancestor Tianshi are hung on the door. There are long corridors on both sides of the main room, one side is connected to the courtyard door, and the other side leads to the garden behind.
Among the three holy places of Taoism, Dazhen Mansion and Zhenjing Villa were expanded from the private residences of Zhang and Li, with a limited area, while Wanshou Chongyang Palace was the former deputy capital of Taoism, so in terms of scale, Da Zhen Palace is
Both Zhenren Mansion and Zhenjing Villa are far inferior to Wanshou Chongyang Palace.
However, everything here, every plant, tree, brick and tile, are all ancient relics. On the contrary, it is the Wanshou Chongyang Palace. Although the name has a long history, the original Wanshou Chongyang Palace has been completely destroyed by the war. Today’s Wanshou Chongyang Palace
The palace was actually rebuilt on the old site after the Taoist revival. However, it is more than 200 years old and its historical heritage is far inferior to that of Dazhen Mansion and Zhenjing Villa.
>
Because Qi Xuansu didn't come suddenly, but had already made arrangements, the journey was smooth. After crossing the flying bridge, Zhang Chiyue stopped there, and Zhang Jucheng's secretary had already greeted him.
This is the case with secretaries. High-level Taoist priests do not separate work and life so clearly. It is common for them to handle official duties at home. Over time, in addition to assisting in handling official duties, secretaries will also take care of daily life. Their essence is the same as that of the previous dynasty.
The inner court is quite similar. There are even many secretaries who specialize in this aspect of life. It is not enough for them to handle official affairs, but they are good at serving others, which can be regarded as a shortcut.
However, the first secretary at the palace level must have a background in handling official affairs. This is an iron rule.
Among the thirty-six Shenzhi masters, the highest ranking one is the master in charge of the third hall, then the masters of the other six halls, then the master of the local Taoist government, and finally the master in charge of the palace. So.
If a master in charge wants to be promoted, he must first find a presiding party and serve as the master in a certain place, and then enter Yujing to serve as the master in charge of Jiutang. Master Cihang, Master Donghua, and Master Qingwei all have a host party.
Taoist experience, for example, Master Cihang was once the headmaster of Jiangnan Daofu, Master Donghua was once the headmaster of Zhongzhou Daofu, Qinzhou Daofu, and Master Qingwei was deeply involved in Qizhou Daofu for many years.
As for the person in charge of the palace, Pingzhang Darenren, the person in charge of the palace, is a high-ranking match, and is not calculated according to this standard. For example, the master in charge of Wanxiang Tao Palace is Pingzhang Daren, and cannot be lumped together with other masters of the palace, and the title is also the same.
The real person in charge of the palace is not the real person in charge of the palace.
The most well-equipped Taoist mansion is probably the Borneo Taoist mansion. Not only does it have a Zhenzhi Zhenzhen and two first-grade spiritual officials, but also a Pingzhang Dazhen is in charge. It is like a certain department of the imperial court. Not only does it have a minister, but also a minister.
One can imagine how important it is to have a great scholar in charge. Fenglinzhou Daofu is slightly inferior, but not far behind. It will soon surpass Borneo Daofu and usher in a true master of the army.
Recently, there are rumors that Zhang Jucheng will serve as the real person in charge of Jiangnan Daofu. The main reason is that Zhang Jucheng has to take care of the Zhang family's affairs, and Qingwei Zhenren has to take care of the Li family. He has been the real person in charge of Qizhou Daofu for many years.
The situation is similar, otherwise he should have been released a long time ago. Now the situation is clearer. If Tianshi intends to train Zhang Yuelu, then let her serve as the second deputy head of Wuzhou Taoist Palace, take care of the Zhang family's affairs, and train her to be a member of the Zhang family.
Zhang Jucheng took advantage of the situation and let go, seeking a higher position.
Qi Xuansu followed this character who resembled Gong Jiaojun to the Three Provinces Hall.
Counting back, all the Celestial Masters and Great Celestial Masters of the past dynasties have lived here. The Celestial Master Yan Feiqing, who was promoted to the position of Celestial Master by Xuansheng himself, also lived here. At that time, the Zhang family retreated to private residence.
When Zhang Wuhen was young, he and his brother spent some time here.
Qi Xuansu remembered that Zhang Yuelu seemed to have mentioned that probably shortly after Zhang Wuhen's accident, the Heavenly Master moved out of Sanseitang. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Wuhen's husband was the culprit who seduced Zhang Wuhen into stealing the inheritance of True Lord Taiyin.
After the incident, the man was killed by the Heavenly Master himself.
It can be seen from this that the Heavenly Master looks kind and kind, but he is also a decisive and decisive person.
Qi Xuansu secretly reminded himself, never think that the Heavenly Master is arrogant just by looking at him. These big shots kill people without batting an eyelid.
Sanshengtang faces south. When you enter the main entrance, you will see a huge sitting screen placed on the north wall. It is very plain white with no pictures on it. It only has five thousand words written by Taozu. Under the screen are sandalwood tables and chairs, which are regarded as the main seats.
In contrast, there are eight chairs arranged on the left and right sides, also made of sandalwood, and can be regarded as guest seats.
Zhang Jucheng was waiting here.
After Qi Xuansu crossed the threshold, he stopped taking a step forward and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the real person in charge of the palace."
This is still the same as talking to people and talking to ghosts. If you meet someone who is sensible, treat them with the same attitude as your elders. If you encounter someone who is ignorant and is being arrogant, fight back forcefully.
Zhang Jucheng was not arrogant. He took a step forward and gave him a little help: "Vice Hall Master Qi, there is no need to be polite."
After the ceremony, Zhang Jucheng spoke in a gentle tone: "Today is a family banquet, and we are talking about private matters. Don't be so outspoken. Qingxiao's father is my cousin, and I am Qingxiao's uncle. If you don't mind, you can
Call me Shibo."
Qi Xuansu followed the good example and said: "Since Shibo said this, then Shibo will call me 'Tianyuan'."
Generally speaking, not all elders can be called directly by their names, usually they are parents, and other elders are still called by their names. As for the Celestial Master, he is the elder among the elders, respected and eldest. According to Confucian theory, he is both a king and a master.
He is the father and cannot be generalized.
In this way, one was called "Shi Bo" and the other was called "Tian Yuan", and the relationship became much closer at once. At least Zhang Jucheng did not openly object to the marriage, and even quite approved of it.
The two sat down separately and did not directly get to the point, but talked about other things.
Two men who have just met will naturally not talk about trivial matters about their parents. They will mainly talk about the official affairs of the Taoist family. Regarding the matter of "Defending Monkey", Zhang Ju
Cheng knows a lot, so when talking about this matter, he couldn't help but mention True Lord Ziguang.
This matter could not be concealed, Ziguang Zhenjun injured the King of Liao, suppressed the ancestors of Xuanhuiyuan, and then met Li Changge.
What can Qi Xuansu say? It cannot be said that Zhang Yuelu has mastered the line of Ziguang Society. It can only be said that he was knocked unconscious by the King of Liao before the god descended. When he woke up, he was watching the fireworks on Wuxing Mountain.
Fortunately, Zhang Jucheng didn't mean to ask further. He just mentioned it and talked about the Fenglinzhou war. He mainly talked about some big-picture things.
In Zhang Jucheng's view, if the Taoist sect wants to rule Fenglinzhou, it can no longer hold on to the Confucian sect's defense of Yixia. The Confucian sect generally has three criteria: blood relationship, geographical relationship, etiquette education, and the influence of Fenglinzhou.
The influence of the Central Plains Celestial Kingdom is true, but it has long been its own entity and is isolated overseas. Unlike Borneo, which borders the Central Plains land, and has never been truly ruled by the Central Plains Celestial Kingdom, it is impossible to reach a consensus on these three things.
It is difficult to integrate them under the premise of killing.
Then we should switch to another path: Those who are virtuous will live in the world. What is virtue? This is a very broad concept. If it must be quantified, it is only rulers who can make the ruled live better.
, one should not overemphasize the bloodline and origin of this ruler, it can also be understood as an extension of the princes and generals Xiang Ning.
To put it bluntly, Daomen is more advanced, more civilized, and more moral than Tianmen. It would be better for Daomen to rule Fenglinzhou than Tianmen to rule Fenglinzhou. Then Daomen will be the place where the virtuous people live.
Of course, these two concepts are not static. They need to be applied flexibly and use whatever is beneficial to you.
This incident in Fenglinzhou has served as a wake-up call for Taoist sects. Only by changing the concept, truly implementing it in Fenglinzhou, and reversing the entire trend of thought in Fenglinzhou can we put an end to "respecting the king and fighting the Tao" from the root.
Qi Xuansu has done little research in this area. He only listens and has to admit that there are no mediocre people who can understand the real people. They study the art of immortality and the way to govern the world at the same time. They are all both civil and military.
At noon, the two of them had lunch together. It was said to be a family banquet, but in fact there were only two of them, not even a waiter. It was a bit deliberate, which showed that Zhang Jucheng attached great importance to it.
Only then did Zhang Jucheng get to the point.
As Qiniang expected, Zhang Jucheng was talking about the future of the Zhang family.
However, Zhang Jucheng was not eager for Qi Xuansu to express his position, but hoped that Qi Xuansu would have a good talk with Zhang Yuelu after he returned.
Qi Xuansu understood that Zhang Jucheng was asking him to be a sounding board.
