When Xuan Sheng built the Golden Tower, there were a total of four lineages, namely Taiping Dao, Quanzhen Dao, Zhengyi Dao, the direct line of the Grand Master, corresponding to the three deputy Grand Masters, Dazhenren and the Grand Master respectively.
The so-called direct lineage of the Grand Master can also be called a neutral faction. For example, the Wanxiang Taoist Palace belongs to the neutral faction. Its main function is to prevent the Grand Master from being ignored by the Three Dao. When it was most powerful, there was a Grand Master.
The Nine Halls were all controlled by the neutral faction, while the Three Taoist factions could only control the local Taoist government. However, the Neutral faction was looser than the Three Taoists, and it did not develop into the Fourth Tao in the end.
Of course, whether the great sects of the past dynasties can control the neutral faction depends on their own abilities. The sixth generation of great sects disbanded Zixiao Palace, which greatly lost the hearts of the neutral faction. In the end, they suffered the consequences and were completely ignored. Government orders could not be issued by Zixiao.
Palace. On the contrary, the great leader of the Five Dynasties firmly controlled the neutral faction and made it his base. He also cleverly used the contradictions between the three factions to win over one faction, suppress the other faction, and provoked internal fighting among them, making it impossible to join forces.
Against himself, he used the balancing method of the emperor's mind to such perfection that he was able to replace even the deputy head master Da Zhenren in the end.
This is also the reason why Zhengyiyi and Quanzhendao have joined forces but still cannot ensure the ownership of the Grand Master. First, Zhengyiyi and Quanzhendao have their own reservations and are on guard against each other. This is human nature. Secondly, there is a neutral faction.
, if Taiping Dao obtains the support of a neutral faction, it can still seize the position of Grand Master, so the Li family must ensure victory in the Fenglinzhou war.
There is an unwritten rule to know whether the Immortal Immortal can be promoted to the Great Immortal of Pingzhang. In addition to the fact that Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal must be promoted to the Great Immortal of Pingzhang, if you are from a neutral sect, it will be easier for you to be promoted. If you are from the third realm, it will be more difficult.
In comparison, Zhenzhi Zhenren, who is also a pseudo-immortal and from the neutral faction, can be promoted almost as soon as he reaches his age and qualifications. However, Zhenzhi Zhenren, who is from the three realms, must have enough merits to convince the public because the three parties are constraining each other.
.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. When competing for the top leader, the three factions have a huge advantage, and the neutral faction almost stands aside and waits for the results, so this promotion method is equivalent to a kind of compensation.
Jin Que is nominally the thirty-six real masters who participate in the vote to elect the Grand Master. However, in order to prevent the situation of deadlocked votes, the great masters of Pingzhang also have the right to vote. In order to ensure their transcendent status, the great masters of Pingzhang also have the right to vote.
, it is difficult to be bribed and won over, and it is relatively fair.
If the neutral faction is the loosest and has no system at all. There is no clear leader like the Third Division, only a few great masters of Pingzhang at the head, and the people below do not have such a strong sense of belonging, then Quanzhen Tao is the second loosest faction.
Faction.
This is also a problem left by Xuan Sheng.
Xuan Sheng
Re-dividing the three roads, Taiping Road and Zhengyi Road, is very simple. Taiping Road has the Li family as its main body, and Zhengyi Road has the Zhang family as its main body, and then adds some other factions, such as the Cihang lineage, the Qingqiu Mountain lineage, etc. But.
It was difficult for Quanzhen Taoism to do this, because there was no concept of Yao family and Pei family at that time. At that time, these two families were just a few people and could not even be called families. The other major factions were equally matched and evenly matched. This was a congenital deficiency.
Xuan Sheng felt that the Quanzhen Tao was too loose to compete with the other two. In order to prevent the Quanzhen Tao from being oppressed by the other two, it was necessary to increase the size of the Quanzhen Tao, so Xuansheng divided the palms
After teaching the direct lineage, all the remaining people were stuffed into the Quanzhen Tao, and all the subsequent orphans also belonged to the Quanzhen Tao by default.
In this way, Quanzhen Tao is indeed the largest among the three Tao, but it is more loose internally and is far less cohesive than the other two Tao.
Under such circumstances, the internal fighting among Quanzhen Taoist priests was also the most intense.
After the establishment of the Borneo Taoist House, the leader of the Da Zhenren faction belonged to the direct lineage of the Grand Master. After the sixth generation of Grand Masters disbanded the Zixiao Palace, it became more and more declining. The leader of the Zhenren faction was classified as Quanzhen Taoism according to the old rules. These
It has become increasingly popular over the years.
The Wang family belongs to Quanzhen Tao, but it is hard to say how much sense of belonging they have to Quanzhen Tao.
For Quanzhen Taoism, which is accustomed to internal fighting and is known as a small Taoist sect, there is no psychological burden at all in dealing with the Wang family.
Due to various in-law relationships between Taiping Dao and Zhengyi, even if a certain family loses power, it is still a wealthy family, such as the Yan family. But Quanzhen Dao is not so affectionate and tender, and many times the losers will simply disappear.
There are quite a few Quanzhen Taoist families that have died out in recent years, and they can be called the best of the three Taoist families, and this one is no less. In particular, there is the hostility of the old families to the emerging families. The Yao family and the Pei family decided to take action, Qi family, Shangguan family, Ji family
Not only will the family not stand in the way, they will even get a share of the pie.
Qi Xuansu immediately thought of a question, "If the Wang family falls, what will happen to the Borneo Taoist House?"
Qiniang smiled and said, "Of course I won't give it up to others. The most important thing our Quanzhen Taoist lacks is people. If the man named Wang doesn't do it, there are plenty of people who can do it. At worst, we two can take over, and it's not impossible."
Qi Xuansu looked at Qiniang, a little unsure of what to say.
Qiniang said, "You are now the deputy head of Ziwei Hall.
Even though the deputy hall master and the master are only one level apart, there are several good invisible steps among them. The Taoist sect has a rule. The Taoist sect has important positions and positions. It has always been to select people according to their positions, rather than lining up to take over.
Therefore, it is difficult for this hall, this palace, and this palace to produce a leader. Ninety percent of the number one figures are not from this hall, this palace, and this palace. Most of them are transferred from other places. Therefore, the deputy hall master and
It may seem like a step away between the two masters, but in reality they are worlds apart."
"If you want to be promoted to the head hall, you must first go to the local Taoist government office to be the top deputy headmaster, then be promoted to the second deputy headmaster, and then be transferred back to Yujing to be the chief deputy headmaster of another hall, and then go to the local Taoist temple.
As the head of a palace, you can finally return to Yujing as the head of a hall. How many steps are there? Although after you become the second deputy palace master, you will most likely be promoted to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.
But you have to wait until you become the head of a palace before you can be promoted to Zhenzhi Zhenren."
"Thirty-six Master Shenzhi, one carrot and one pit, cannot be shaken. Except for the situation where someone is promoted to Pingzhang Daren, if you want to go up, someone has to come down. There won't be too many such opportunities. By then,
I will go out of my way to go find the Earth Master in person for my mother, find a position for you as the real person in charge of the Borneo Taoist government, and also solve the problem of the rank of the real person who knows the government, what do you think?"
Qi Xuansu opened his mouth wide. .??.
If this thing really comes to fruition, it will be an overwhelming kindness. Many second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests who have been wasting their time for many years are willing to kneel down and become their godmother.
If Qiniang stays in Taoism and develops, she is now at the level of the Lord of Nine Halls. She gave up this resource, and now she pushes Qi Xuansu up. She really wants to ask the Yao family for her share.
Of course, in a broad sense, these are Taoist sect's prestigious and important weapons. They are not anyone's private property. There is no question of who belongs to them or not, and there is no give-and-take.
But the righteousness is the righteousness, and it is correct. However, for so many aristocratic families, everyone knows what is going on when it is actually implemented.
Qiniang was furious when she saw Qi Xuansu like this, "Look at you, you have never seen the world. From now on, don't say you are my son when you go out, just say you are Qi Haoran's son, Zhang Yuelu's man, who has nothing to do with me."
It doesn’t matter at all.”
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and at the same time displayed the majesty that a third-grade Youyi Taoist should have.
Qiniang looked her up and down and said with satisfaction, "That's just right. The key is that you strive for success. With so many solid achievements as a foundation, Qiniang has the confidence to help pave the way for you."
When you speak, others won't be able to say the word 'no'. If you are like that Wang Danqing, you know how to be jealous and wait for death. Even if I want to promote you, I don't have the shame to ask the Earth Master."
Qi Xuansu did not dare to be complacent.
Despite Qiniang's understatement, Qi Xuansu knew exactly what was going on. Without Qiniang, no matter how great his achievements were, Qi Xuansu would not be able to achieve "Earth-Character Skill" or "Tian-Character Skill".
If one person wins, others will definitely take away a large part. For example, the person who promotes Qi Xuansu has a keen eye for recognizing talents, and the person who directs Qi Xuansu is well-organized. Most of them have gone to others, and Qi Xuansu can only risk his life.
If he continues to drink soup, then he is at most a Taoist priest of the fourth grade of wine.
It is precisely because of Qiniang's protection that no one can share the credit, and all the credit goes to Qi Xuansu himself. Qi Xuansu was able to rise so quickly, and it was so reasonable that no one could fault him. After all, Qiniang was a headache for Pei Xuanzhi.
As a character, most people really don’t dare to be enemies with her easily, Wang Danqing is an exception.
In the same way, the three talents of Taoism are roughly the same. If there are enough resources, a larger background, strong enough abilities, and enough trial and error costs, it will be easy to make meritorious deeds. If you make meritorious deeds, everything will be attributed to the individual, and there is no such thing.
After being forced to train for a few more years, I naturally rose quickly. If I really want to check, it is all reasonable, reasonable, legal, and compliant, and there is no fraud at all.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yuelu can win people's hearts despite being difficult to get along with, because Zhang Yuelu never deprives others of the rewards and contributions they deserve. Whoever deserves it belongs to whomever, and as much as it deserves. Even if there is a personal grudge, Zhang Yuelu will not threaten anyone.
Private revenge. For example, Xu Kou openly provoked Zhang Yuelu, but Zhang Yuelu still promoted him to chief. Xu Kou is now convinced by Zhang Yuelu. This even includes Qi Xuansu.
The clear distinction between rewards and punishments is enough to make many people think that Zhang Yuelu is a rare good boss. In the face of this, the so-called hard to get along with or harsh are just minutiae. Many people who work hard will naturally take a detour, but many
People who are truly willing to do things with sincerity will gather around Zhang Yuelu.
Qiniang said, "Of course, the prospects are very good, but the premise is that we have to overthrow the Wang family, and do it reasonably, legally and in accordance with the rules. The aristocratic families in these places are used to separatist power like emperors, and are used to arrogant and domineering.
, no one’s bottom is clean, it just depends on checking or not checking.”
Qi Xuansu sighed, "Qiniang, you made a big cake for me, but to be honest, this cake is really delicious."
