Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu had sobered up and went to Ziweitang to report, where he happened to meet Lei Xiaohuan.
Qi Xuansu was truly close to his former boss and current colleague, so he naturally wanted to congratulate Lei Xiaohuan on his promotion to the chief deputy head of Jiangnan Daofu.
The news that Lei Xiaohuan succeeded Bai Yingqiong as the chief deputy governor of Jiangnan Province has been announced. In a few days, Lei Xiaohuan will officially take up the post and form a formal partner with the new governor. She is busy cleaning up her affairs these days.
You have to bring many things with you to Ziweitang's signature room.
This appointment is also reasonable. Lei Xiaohuan actually represents the power of the Pei family of Master Donghua. It is really Pei Xiaolou who fails to live up to his expectations. He is doing nothing all day long and cannot improve his realm. No matter how much help Master Donghua offers, it will be in vain.
, can only be an assistant. On the contrary, Lei Xiaohuan has been working hard these years, and has stayed in the infinite stage for quite some time. With accumulated experience, he thinks that he will be able to reach the creation stage in a few years.
Like Bai Yingqiong, she dare not say that she has hope for immortality in this life, and it is not difficult to reach the stage of pseudo-immortal in the end. Master Donghua had no choice but to support his sister-in-law and let Pei Xiaolou live a happy life.
This is a rigid rule within the Taoist sect. If your level of cultivation is not high enough to convince the public, it will be difficult to climb to a high position. The principles are also universal. Not to mention the Taoist sect, even those who work in the workshop are literate and knowledgeable.
It is easier to be promoted. As for strategy and ability, the Taoist sect's Golden Que system is essentially determined by everyone's discussion. Except for the position of the Grand Master, which is particularly important, the other positions actually have relatively low requirements for these.
To put it bluntly, the first problem is to employ people. If you can't convince the public, there is no point in employing people. If you can't even control people, your great strategy will be in vain. It can only be rhetoric or guidance, and at most it will be a staff.
Lei Xiaohuan was not happy, and sighed, "It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing. When the seven-person group went to Jiangnan, you also participated. You should know the specific situation of Jiangnan Province. You should be the chief in that place."
It's a simple job."
Qi Xuansu said, "It is precisely because the job is not simple that the earth master ordered Master Lei's general. It is also because Jinque saw that Jiangnan Daofu is not simple, so he made a big change. Not only the master of the palace, but also the chief were changed."
, the deputy palace masters below have also been changed."
Lei Xiaohuan finally laughed, "You kid, you are telling lies with your eyes open. Why on earth did the master and chief of the palace change? Others don't know, but you don't know? Haven't you heard about Zhang Kuquan?"
Of course Qi Xuansu knew that, and he personally arrested the relevant people involved in the case, but it was really difficult to talk about it openly.
So Qi Xuan
Su changed the subject and said, "Jiangnan is rich, and money and food are the most important thing in the world. With more money, there will be more disputes and more fights. In addition, the three factions are now... the differences are getting bigger. Master Lei must be careful when he goes there."
.”
Lei Xiaohuan sighed, "I don't know, so I feel uneasy."
She paused and then said, "Don't just talk about me, let's talk about you."
Qi Xuansu pretended to be dumb and said, "Do I have anything to say?"
"You don't have anything to say?" Lei Xiaohuan raised his hand and nodded a few times, "Now who doesn't know that you have made many military exploits in Fenglinzhou, and the Earth Master has instructed the Quanzhen Taoists to build momentum for you, making it clear that he wants to
To reuse you, I heard that it has been revealed that you will be made the second deputy palace master. How old are you, you are already the second deputy palace master. If you ask me, in another thirty years, even the top master will be able to compete for it.
Let’s fight.”
Qi Xuansu said humbly, "Zhenren Lei has been rewarded. What kind of headmaster doesn't dare to think about it? It's just the second deputy palace master, but do you really mean it?"
"I thought you were indifferent to fame and fortune." Lei Xiaohuan smiled, "Now it seems that you still care."
Qi Xuansu said, "Everything in the world is bustling for the sake of profit; everything in the world is bustling for the sake of profit. Fame and fortune touch people's hearts. I am just a mortal, how can I not stop thinking about it?"
Lei Xiaohuan said, "I just heard that, but I can't keep it true. I heard that there are some personnel changes in Lingnan and Borneo."
Qi Xuansu was not surprised. In other words, this was what he had expected. Judging from the comments from Qiniang and others, Quanzhen Taoism and Zhengyi planned to move Nanyang.
Nanyang cannot be equated with the South China Sea. It is a concept similar to the Western Ocean, but it cannot be mentioned as the Southern Continent because there are many islands in this area. It is like a continent broken into countless pieces.
Within the scope of Nanyang under the command of Daomen, there are mainly three major forces, one is Lingnan Daofu, the other is Borneo Daofu, and the third is various local snake forces, including large and small sea merchants and pirates, headed by "Tianting". Although there are also
Western caravans, but just caravans, not a big deal.
These three forces respectively represent the three Taoist sects. Needless to say, "Heavenly Court" has Taiping Tao behind it.
Behind Lingnan Daofu is Zhengyiyi. The Feng family in Lingnan is a local wealthy family. They moved to Lingnan during the Northern Dynasties and have taken root in Lingnan since then. Because the mountains in Lingnan are high and the emperor is far away, the Feng family rarely participates in the Central Plains.
Dispute is different from other powerful families.
Before the Taoist sect was integrated, Xu Zu wanted to start a rebellion and sought help from the Feng family, but was flatly rejected by the Feng family. From this, Xu Zu had the idea of taking the Feng family by force. The Feng family was not Xu Zu's opponent, so he could only ask for help.
The Zhang family in Wuzhou asked for help, and eventually the Zhang family took action to force Xu Zu to withdraw from Lingnan. After that, the two families became even more closely related. After the integration of the Taoist clan, most of the Feng family members entered the Lingnan Taoist Prefecture, and their trees were big and their roots were deep, so the Lingnan Taoist Prefecture
It is regarded as the sphere of influence of Zhengyi.
As for the Taoist government in Borneo, it is naturally the sphere of influence of Quanzhen Taoism, headed by the emerging aristocratic family Wang Family, and the rise of the Wang family can be traced back to the war between the Taoist sect and the Holy Court in West Borneo.
Now the Wang family has the idea of changing the family, or in other words, under the banner of changing the family, they are seeking a certain degree of independence, driving away wolves and tigers, and breaking away from the control of Quanzhen Tao. This is a taboo and extremely risky. Naturally, Taiping Dao cannot
Will take action easily, not to mention all kinds of resistance, let’s talk about the lessons learned from the past, a painful trick that is willing to play and one is willing to endure is always memorable, so both parties still need a process of gaining mutual trust. This matter is known to Quanzhen Tao, since the good advice
It's hard to dissuade the damned ghost, so we have to attack the Wang family first. That's why Qiniang proposed to seek revenge from the Wang family. Without this, Qiniang and Qi Xuansu, mother and son alone, would not be able to move the Wang family.
Mountain.
As for why Quanzhen Taoism touches the Wang family, it must fall on the head master. This kind of special Taoist house will have a master head, and above the head master, he is also the direct superior of the first-grade spiritual officer stationed there. Feng
Zhang Qihan, the great master in charge of Linzhou Taoist Prefecture, is a member of the Taiping Tao, and the master of the Borneo Taoist Prefecture is naturally a member of the Quanzhen Tao.
However, just one Grand Master is not enough, because both the Master and the Chief Deputy Palace Master are from the Wang family, so another person is needed to cooperate with the Grand Master.
Qi Xuansu probably had some concerns in his mind.
What Lei Xiaohuan said is not groundless, but it is true. To attack the Borneo Province, one must either parachute directly to Borneo and penetrate the vital points, or make a slight detour from the Lingnan Province and do it through sea trade.
article.
Saying goodbye to Lei Xiaohuan, Qi Xuansu went to Donghua Zhenren's signature room.
Donghua Zhenren's secretary Gong Jiaojun was very enthusiastic when he saw Qi Xuansu. There are many people with backgrounds in the world, but there are not many people who can successfully rise to the top. This deputy hall master Qi is one of them, with a real future
Infinite.
Qi Xuansu is still very polite and not arrogant. Don't underestimate these secretaries. After all, they are people around big shots.
, I spend more time with big people than their family members and disciples. They may not be able to accomplish anything, but bad things are very simple. If you want to know what real people think, what they plan to do, or their specific itinerary, who they meet.
, it is inevitable to follow the path of these people.
Gong Jiaojun sat with Qi Xuansu for a while. Master Donghua walked into the signing room, and Qi Xuansu hurriedly stood up to greet him.
No matter how powerful Master Qingwei is, he is not in the same camp. He belongs to an outsider and has little to do with Qi Xuansu. As long as he doesn't break his skin, the most he can do is kick Qi Xuansu back to Yujing. If Qi Xuansu is to be touched, someone else will stand up for Qi Xuansu.
Master Donghua is his immediate superior. After a hundred years of Earth Master, Master Donghua will have the final say in Quanzhen Taoism and holds Qi Xuansu's lifeline. If he wants to touch Qi Xuansu, Master Qingwei will not stand up for Qi Xuansu.
In short, it is the family's own responsibility to take care of their own children, and it is not anyone else's turn to take care of them. If a child is bullied by outsiders, the parents have to step in and defend the child. But when parents spank their children, the spanking is in vain.
When you choose to take sides, friends and enemies are determined and will not change due to personal will. As for taking sides, you don't just take sides you want, you can't help it at all.
Master Donghua motioned Qi Xuansu to sit down and speak, "You did a great job in Fenglinzhou this time. Both the earthly and heavenly masters are very satisfied with you."
This was to be expected. With the support and instruction of these two men, Qi Xuansu faced off against Master Qingwei head-on. If he was still dissatisfied, Master Donghua would have to do it himself.
Master Donghua paused for a moment and continued, "After you have made such a great contribution, it would be inappropriate for you to be the last deputy hall master in Ziwei Hall. What the Earth Master means is to take this opportunity to let you go somewhere."
Give it a try, what’s your opinion?”
Qi Xuansu replied, "Everything will be subject to the arrangements of the earth master and the real person in charge. I have no objection."
A standard answer makes it hard for people to make mistakes. In fact, most of the time, asking for opinions from your boss is just a routine matter. So what if you have opinions? Can you still make a fuss?
Furthermore, Qi Xuansu's situation is that he "doesn't dare to ask for help".
Master Donghua nodded slightly, "This matter has not been finalized yet. I just want to say hello to you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared."
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Is the Master Zhangtang related to Nanyang?"
Master Donghua glanced at him and smiled, "You are quite well-informed."
