It is undeniable that the Wang family made great contributions in establishing the Borneo Taoist government, but the Taoist sect is not a court and will not grant him a hereditary throne to rule Borneo forever. This is contrary to the Taoist sect's philosophy.
Of course, if we have to mention Qizhou of the Li family and Wuzhou of the Zhang family, why are the Zhang and Li families the same as the Taoist sect? There is no way to talk about it. This is a topic that cannot be touched.
To put it more grandly, Qizhou and Wuzhou are both in the Central Plains. The Taoist sect has extremely strong control over the Central Plains, and there is no possibility of separatism and independence. But Borneo is different. It is isolated overseas. The Taoist sect’s control over this place is relatively weak, and it cannot be ruled out.
Not on guard.
To be more realistic, the Li family and the Zhang family brought capital to invest in the shares. They had strong strength before Xuansheng rebuilt the Taoist sect. Even if there was no Taoist sect, they were still princes. Like the Daxuan royal family, they rebuilt the Taoist sect.
The original shareholders and the first three deputy head masters, Da Zhenren, came from these three families. Without their support, it would be difficult for Xuansheng to rebuild the Taoist sect, so Xuansheng had to compromise.
From this point of view, the Yao family has always been slightly inferior and cannot control the Quanzhen Tao like the Zhang family controls the Zhengyi Tao and the Li family controls the Taiping Tao.
From the perspective of the Zhang and Li families, no matter what, the Yao family also made great contributions in rebuilding the Taoist sect. You, the Wang family, are just a latecomer. You are just standing on the foundation of the Taoist sect. Why should you talk to us old-timers?
Comparable to aristocratic families?
Master Cihang's words have made it clear.
If the earth master wants to move the Wang family, he must first communicate with the heavenly master, and the heavenly master will naturally agree. The national master is beyond his reach, not to mention that if it involves some kind of right within the Taoist sect, the national master cannot openly oppose it.
At a very small scale, this is a clique; at a large scale, this is a division of the Taoism.
Of course, this is a double standard. Why can you, the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Yao family be the dominant ones, but you are not forming a clique? Why can't others? This is a tacit understanding among the three families, and they will join forces to eliminate certain new forces.
In the parliament of the Kingdom of Rune, there are two parties. These two parties take turns taking power and fighting openly and secretly. The biggest tacit understanding is to join forces to suppress the rise of the third party. This is the same principle.
The three families do not hide their double standards and do not promote themselves as saints. Might is truth.
Daomen has never been a bright and glorious place, but like its symbol, a black and white yin and yang fish, black and white intertwined, black in white, white in black.
Qi Xuansu is no longer a young man with ideals and enthusiasm, and he is not surprised at all.
In his opinion, in fact, both the Zhang family and the Li family are fine. At least they seek practical benefits rather than fame. They only want fame.
It's a matter of pride, not to the point of erecting a memorial arch, it's human nature. When I say this now, it's mostly for the sake of being famous.
What I am most afraid of is the kind of person who wants to have both fame and wealth. He wants to hold all the interests in his hands and also seeks to be a saint. The great Confucian scholars in the past were all like this. They could say all the good things but never do the bad things.
Shang Zhongjun was moved by heaven and earth, but secretly let the emperor fall into the water and die.
However, whether it is Confucianism or Taoism, they all face a problem - there are all kinds of birds in the forest. After becoming the common master of the world, it is inevitable that the good and the good will be mixed. A large number of speculators will try their best to get into it, and gradually become lazy, and a few will become
Most of them then became lazy and lazy. Although they had great efforts, they could not reverse it and it was difficult to remedy it. They were also driven by the desire for success and the party was united and opposed by different parties. When the talents gradually ran out and it was difficult to cope with it, the situation became complicated.
In response to that sentence, the people of Qin had no time to mourn themselves and let their descendants mourn. Later generations grieved without taking note of it, which also made descendants mourn their descendants again.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
He is in this rolling tide, where should he go? Should he go with the tide? Or go against it?
Master Cihang talked with Qi Xuansu for more than half an hour, but did not touch on much substance, such as what tasks Qi Xuansu had to complete. This could be considered as an explanation to Qi Xuansu, so that Qi Xuansu probably knew what he should do.
At the same time, Master Cihang also pointed out the complex environment that Qi Xuansu has to face - more complicated than the Imperial Capital and Fenglinzhou. Fenglinzhou is nothing more than a tripartite force, one is the Taoist force, the other is the Zunhu faction, and the other is the neutral force. The Imperial Capital is also
It's roughly like this. At most, there is me in you and you in me.
But Borneo is far from as simple as three parties. There is the Holy Court from outside, which is eyeing the Holy Court, and it has to deal with the Holy Court. There is the "Heavenly Court" on the sea. In addition to the royal families of various countries, there are also various local snakes, that is, chieftain forces and some local sects.
Coupled with other secret societies and Buddhist forces from the Central Plains, it is a complete mess.
Comparing Fenglinzhou Taoist Office, in any case, Fenglinzhou Taoist Office is united and monolithic. There are no Zunban faction forces mixed in. This is not the case with Borneo Taoist Office. When dealing with these troubles, they must clean up internally.
The royal family forces in the Borneo Taoist Prefecture are fighting both externally and internally.
What is internal and external troubles? This is it.
This is a big test for Qi Xuansu. If he succeeds, then
It shows that Qi Xuansu is indeed capable, and he is not the kind of playboy who relies on the protection of his elders to get to the top. If he fails to do it, the Earth Master and Donghua Master will be disappointed. It cannot be said that Qi Xuansu's path will stop here, but the Earth Master and Donghua Master will definitely
If Qi Xuansu's support is reduced, there will be some reaction from the Zhang family.
Qi Xuansu is still under considerable pressure.
As for why Cihang Zhenren mentioned Qiniang and the Eight Tribes, it was more or less because the mother-in-law took care of her son-in-law. This was a hint to Qi Xuansu that if he encountered trouble that could not be solved, he could also ask Qiniang for help. Qiniang also had connections there.
But this is very strange. Qiniang didn't say anything herself, but Master Cihang came to remind Qi Xuansu. The person who helped didn't speak, and the person who spoke didn't help. I don't know what these two powerful women talked about.
Qi Xuansu said goodbye and left Tiangang Hall, rushing to another banquet.
He had to go, because today was the day when Lei Xiaohuan left Yujing, and he wanted to see off Lei Xiaohuan. This was also what Qi Xuansu found strange. Lei Xiaohuan was about to leave Yujing to take up his post, but he was still asked to do so.
Participate in the joint meeting. Now that I think about it, maybe Lei Xiaohuan is also among the so-called "partial deputy masters".
In terms of friendship, Lei Xiaohuan had taken care of Qi Xuansu a lot in the past, and he was also a sweet-tempered person. Qi Xuansu was willing to see Lei Xiaohuan off and had no intention of dealing with it perfunctorily.
When we arrived at the room in Phoenix Tower, not many people came, about ten or so people, some whom Qi Xuansu knew and some who did not. Many of them, like Qi Xuansu, went straight here after the joint discussion. It was just that Qi Xuansu was...
Master Hang stayed behind, so he came the latest.
Qi Xuansu apologized and walked to the only empty seat. On the left was the master Lei Xiaohuan, and on the right was a strange female crown. She looked to be in her thirties and had very bright eyes, which were different from Zhang Yuelu's red and phoenix eyes.
The famous female crown has a pair of very alluring peach blossom eyes, which are charming and coquettish. When she blinks, there are faint green waves flowing. She is also a very old person, definitely older than Qi Xuansu, but she still has a bit of a girlish attitude.
The two of them had to introduce each other. In fact, Qi Xuansu did not need to introduce. After so many things, he was considered a celebrity. Even though he was not as good as the legendary Zhang Yuelu, there were few colleagues who did not know him. The woman also had the same surname of Qi and her first name.
Qi Muyu was born in the Qi family of Shuzhou.
Because both of them had the last name Qi, Qi Muyu climbed up the pole and joked, "In this way, we are still a family. Deputy Hall Master Qi should call me sister."
Qi Xuansu thought to himself, "I don't know how much older you are than me, but you still play this trick."
, I really don’t know what it means.”
This is the "hateful" thing about Qi Xuansu. In fact, he is very cautious about all kinds of relationships. He doesn't like to call others brothers, let alone recognize any sister or sister casually. He fell in love with Xiao Yin, and he didn't say that he recognized Xiao Yin as his wife.
My sister views Qi Xuansu as someone who doesn't like to compliment women. Even Zhang Yuelu and Qiniang would occasionally hear Qi Xuansu's compliments, which were somewhat playful and joking. Many times, he would treat women who had no interest in them without any pretense.
.
This kind of "bad" nature can naturally easily arouse hatred. This is how Yue Liuli caused it, which almost caused Qi Xuansu's death. So after this incident, Qi Xuansu learned his lesson, and no matter what he thought in his heart, he still remained friendly on face.
So he said, "I don't dare to take it seriously."
Qi Muyu smiled and said, "How dare you do this? I'm not asking you to be my brother."
Qi Xuansu felt disgusted, but he still said, "If this spreads out, people will think that I want to join the Qi family, but I really don't dare to reach that high level."
"How could Tian Yuan be so exaggerated? If Tian Yuan really meant this, then my eldest brother would probably wake up laughing from his sleep. During this time, many people have asked me, is the Deputy Hall Master Qi a member of your Qi family? I
I really want to say yes, but unfortunately no." Qi Muyu chuckled, and without asking Qi Xuansu, he changed the title from "Vice Hall Master Qi" to "Tian Yuan".
Qi Muyu has been speaking in a tone that is incompatible with his age. If he closes his eyes and doesn't look, he will really think that a little girl is talking. Others are also very supportive, always laughing in response, and there is a bit of heckles.
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Qi Xuansu's eyes, not because of the title, but because of Qi Muyu's lack of sense of propriety, or the so-called lack of sense of boundaries. Qi Muyu didn't really lack sense of propriety, it was more like he did it intentionally, deliberately teasing Qi Xuansu.
It's a pity that Qi Xuansu is not a picky person, and he doesn't do this. Most of the time, he wants to keep a distance from these female Taoist priests. It's no wonder that he, who else is in Qi Xuansu's position, from the old lady to the wife, and then to the two
My mother-in-law and several friends are all women. I don’t have a fuel-efficient lamp, and I don’t want to have any rash relationships with other women.
Lei Xiaohuan saw something was wrong and opened his mouth to help Qi Xuansu out of the siege, "Stop making trouble, be careful if the news reaches the ears of Deputy Hall Master Zhang, Deputy Hall Master Zhang is not easy to talk to."
Qi Muyu is not afraid of Lei Xiaohuan, "What did I say? We are just siblings, not Taoist companions. No matter how unforgiving Deputy Hall Master Zhang is, how can he be so lenient?"
Qi Xuansu calmed down a little and realized that this woman was probably here specifically for him.
