To a certain extent, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are not only partners in life, but also political allies. Partners can be strong and the other weak, and allies must be evenly matched. If one party is too strong, it is not an ally, but a vassal.
Zhang Yuelu agreed with Qi Xuansu's guess, "We cannot rule out this possibility. If the adopted son sect and the son-in-law sect within the Li family reach a consensus and then form an alliance, then they will indeed be a force that cannot be ignored. The Tianshi will be controlled by the Zhang family
The situation of Da Zong and the National Master may be slightly better than that of the Heavenly Master, but it is also quite limited."
Qi Xuansu added, "Some things can be said but cannot be said. Some things can be said but cannot be done. In the Li family, this matter of the family being in power for a long time can be done, but must not be promoted in a big way. The environment of the Zhang family and the Li family is not
Similarly, the Zhang family is conservative and has a hostile attitude towards people with foreign surnames. This move has certainly caused the Zhang family to become incommunicado, but it has advantages and disadvantages. The Zhang family can continue to emphasize that the family is the main one, which is a matter of course."
"The Li family is open and welcoming to people with foreign surnames. This move has allowed the Li family to be full of talents and prosperous for two hundred years. It also has advantages and disadvantages. The Li family cannot openly emphasize the superior status of the Li family in the Li family.
It must be promoted that the three major factions of the main family, the adopted son, and the son-in-law are three pillars. If the Li family behaves like the Zhang family, it will inevitably cause a strong internal backlash."
Zhang Yuelu sighed and said, "You have seen it clearly. In the words of "Zuo Zhuan", if you prosper with this, you will die with it. If the Zhang family dies, it will die from conservatism. If the Li family dies, it will die from openness. At that time, Xuansheng advocated that the more friends you have, the more friends you have.
The better, leaving behind the hidden danger of today's factions within the Taoist sect. At that time, the Li family advocated inclusiveness and treating everyone equally, which also left the hidden danger of the adopted son and son-in-law taking over the role. Taiping Taoism seems to be very united, mainly because there is Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Taoism.
As a foil, objectively speaking, Taiping Road is far from monolithic."
Zhang Yuelu paused and asked, "When you met Master Qingwei, what was his attitude?"
Qi Xuansu smiled bitterly and said, "A big man of this level has his own city and is calm when facing important events. How can he show his worries on his face? Naturally, he is calm and talks and laughs freely. At first, I thought it was Master Qingwei who took the lead.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was wrong."
Zhang Yuelu also felt that he had asked too much, so he said instead, "It seems like I can only go find out what the old man says. After all, he is the one in charge."
Qi Xuansu had no objection and said, "Okay, we can discuss the rest in detail later when we meet."
Zhang Yuelu ended the conversation.
While the two were talking on the phone, the two airships were approaching the port. Qi Xuansu came to the deck, looked towards the port, and saw another person.
The "Huang Chi" is moored on the sea and must have been controlled by the spiritual officer stationed at the port.
The two airships landed slowly, and Qi Xuansu ordered: "Don't use torture, don't induce confessions, interrogate on the spot overnight, remember whatever you can ask, and put aside those who don't speak for now. Give me an overview before dawn. I want to
Go and see the real person in charge of the army at Chenshi."
Several Taoist priests in charge accepted the order in unison.
Combining Qi Xuansu's previous conversation, Lu Yuting had some speculations in her mind. The reason why Deputy Hall Master Qi was so eager may be to use this summary to test the true intention of Master Qingwei.
What to do, or to what extent it should be done.
Deputy Hall Master Qi has a saying that she agrees with. The so-called "loyalty" is actually a grasshopper on a line. Therefore, if you want to move someone, you don't just move him or her, but you move the whole body.
It involves everyone on his line.
So it is easy to deal with one person, but it is very troublesome as long as it involves a line. Sometimes, a line can even lead to the sky. For example, if Zhang Kuquan is connected to the Heavenly Master, then
It barely makes sense.
In today's situation, people at the top of this line usually have two choices, one is to die, and the other is to cut off the gecko's tail. Of course, if someone is uprooted from the line, then this line
No one can escape.
Zhang Kuquan's position on his line is neither above nor below, probably in the middle. There are two considerations for the matter. With such a big movement, Zhang Kuquan must be finished, but whether the matter ends here, or two
That is, you can use Zhang Guquan's case as a reason and continue to dig deeper. You can also lead it without mentioning it to create a kind of shock.
At this stage, Zhengdao must be on the defensive, cutting off all ties with Zhang Kuquan, abandoning soldiers to protect the commander. If Taipingdao chooses to dig deep, but cannot attack for a long time, that is, it cannot dig out anything, it must welcome Zhengdao.
A counterattack. But if Taipingdao leads and fails to attack, using this as a deterrent, Zhengyiyi will not dare to counterattack rashly.
In Lu Yuting's view, it was this attitude that Vice-Tang Qi was mainly testing.
On the other side, before Li Changge rushed to Jiangnan Daofu, Lu Yushu of Fengxiantang had already taken measures against Zhang Kuquan.
This time is different from the previous two major Jiangnan cases. The essence of the previous two cases
It was a forceful attack from the outside and a head-on confrontation, so there were back and forths, and there was even enough time to eliminate evidence and kill people. This case of Zhang Guquan was essentially an internal strife. One of our own people took the initiative to report and expose, and naturally it collapsed in an instant.
However, Feng Xiantang's quick actions still proved that this was not an unexpected incident, but had been planned for a long time. Otherwise, Feng Xiantang's reaction would not have been so quick, and Zhang Kuquan would not have had the opportunity to destroy the evidence.
Lu Yushu gained a lot. I don't know if it was because of "accidental", but a lot of relevant rumors spread. Because of the "communication talisman array" and Zimu talisman and other communication methods, even across the East China Sea, people here in Xingying heard about it.
.
When Qi Xuansu arrived at the camp, Master Qingwei was presiding over the meeting, so Qi Xuansu could only wait.
Of course, a high-quality Taoist priest at the level of deputy hall master cannot stand outside and wait. There is not only a special waiting room, but also tea. At this time, there are several deputy hall masters in the waiting room, and everyone is waiting to see Qing.
Wei Zhenren started chatting.
The most eye-catching topic at the moment is naturally the case of Zhang Kuquan. Deputy Hall Master Zhao of Huasheng Hall lowered his voice, "I heard that Feng Xiantang searched Zhang Kuquan's room where he was detained. This Deputy Hall Master Zhang is still a criminal."
'Wonderful Man', it is said that many 'image stones' were found in his signature room."
Several other people were interested in "'Image Stone'?"
Deputy Hall Master Zhao continued, "Zhang Kuquan has a special hobby. Every time he has sex, the entire process must be recorded with a 'photograph stone' for later viewing. It is said that Zhang Kuquan practices magic in the room, meditates happily, and collects tonic."
He is very knowledgeable in Dharma and other aspects. He is a master of both Buddhism and Taoism. Many of the 'photographic stones' can be used as teaching materials for Fang Zhongshu and Happy Zen."
After all, they are all people with status, and no one looks impatient or vulgar. They generally remain calm, with just a hint of a faint smile at the corners of their mouths.
Someone asked, "Approximately how many people were involved?"
Deputy Hall Master Zhao said, "According to preliminary statistics from Feng Xiantang, there are about a hundred people. There are many female Taoists among them, and they are not a small number."
Qi Xuansu didn't care much at first, but after hearing this, he had to pay attention.
One deputy palace master, dozens of female subordinates, an absolute scandal.
The reason why Feng Xiantang is not afraid of these "winds" harming the Taoist sect's face is actually not complicated. This kind of thing is still a big deal within the Taoist sect, but for the imperial court, it is really not a big deal.
A "romantic" reputation.
The subsequent gossip gradually involved some substantive content, which was very exciting.
For example, a female Taoist priest sat on Deputy Palace Master Zhang's lap to discuss business. Deputy Palace Master Zhang moved her hands while listening to the report of her subordinates, causing the female principal to gasp and flush. Or Deputy Palace Master Zhang acted as a matchmaker and
A female subordinate married a junior, and ended up keeping in contact with the female subordinate, often acting recklessly. Or Deputy Palace Master Zhang went directly to the home of a female subordinate who was the Taoist monk of the female subordinate.
Just outside the door watching the wind, Deputy Palace Master Zhang used the Buddhist "Great Joy Zen" to fight one against four, showing off his power and so on.
These women, who usually look like chaste and fierce women, show off their magical powers and become completely different people. In the eyes of a poor boy, the unshakable beauty of the iceberg turns out to be so despicable in the face of power.
The deputy hall masters couldn't say they were envious, they were just joking. After all, everyone is at the same level. If you really want to do it, it's not impossible, it's just not worth it. Not to mention others, Qi Xuansu was promoted to the third rank deputy hall master.
, many female Taoist priests are willing to take the initiative to flatter her. As long as Qi Xuansu hooks his fingers, they can take the initiative to crawl onto the bed. If Qi Xuansu has a good manly style, then the male Taoist priests will not mind imitating him.
For these women, who are also third-grade Youyi Taoist priests, the young Qi Xuansu is naturally more popular than the bad old man. Women have a herd mentality, and the man that Deputy Hall Master Zhang likes will definitely not be bad. If he achieves good things,
I still don’t know who suffered the loss.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu pays great attention to keeping a distance from women, and does not believe in any luck. The best hunters always appear in the form of prey. If you think it is luck, it may be a trap carefully designed by others. It looks like a wolf.
Eating sheep is actually a group of female Taoist priests who pursue power and hunt these superiors in turn.
So when something like this happens, usually one person is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and no one is clean.
Speaking of this, several deputy hall masters couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Guquan must have fallen into trouble this time. Of course, such a personal moral issue will not lead to death, but the impact will be very bad. The key to the final conviction is his corruption and the amount of smuggling.
. Judging from the current situation, the position will definitely not be saved, and the Taoist priest's rank will be beaten to the bottom. The best result is to barely save one's life.
But having said that, what can I do even if I save my life? I won’t be able to turn around in another hundred years. From now on, there will be no such figure in the Taoist sect.
As for the women involved in the case, they can't run away either, so I don't know how many places will be vacated.
