Many people will wonder, since Jinque holds the highest level of personnel power, why does Ziweitang become the head of the nine halls?
There is a very critical point here. Starting from the level of deputy palace master and deputy hall master, Ziweitang does not have the right to make decisions, only the right to make suggestions. However, this right to make suggestions accounts for a large proportion. Under normal circumstances, Jinque will be cautious.
Consider Ziweitang's suggestions.
There is a proverb in Taoism: "The clouds of Jinque are like the wind of Ziweitang." If you want to go up, the clouds in Jinque must rain. As for whose head that cloud will cover in the end, it depends on
Wherever the wind in Ziweitang blows the clouds.
What’s more, Ziweitang may not be able to accomplish things, but bad things are not difficult. After all, Ziweitang is in charge of the evaluation of Taoist priests, big and small, over the years. Even if Jinque wants to pass an appointment, the evaluation results issued by Ziweitang over the years will be incorrect.
If he is qualified, there is no way Jinque can ignore the system and force him to be promoted.
Because of this, although Ziweitang does not have complete personnel power, it is still the head of the Nine Halls. In fact, Tiangangtang is similar and does not have complete military power.
Furthermore, Jinque has the final decision-making power, but when announcing the specific appointment, it is usually the deputy heads of Ziwei Hall who are in charge. According to unwritten rules, they are all at the same level or one level below.
For example, for the appointment of an ordinary deputy palace master, it is enough for Ziweitang to send a deputy palace master. Similarly, for the appointment of the second deputy palace master, Ziweitang can send an equal-level person as appropriate.
The second deputy hall master or the lower deputy hall master are all reasonable. As for the real person in charge of Ziweitang, that is very special. Generally, he will not come forward in person. Even if he appoints the real person in charge, he can go
It is the best. If only the chief deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall is sent, no one else can make a mistake.
Qi Xuansu's appointment was personally handled by Donghua Zhenren, which gave it a very unusual feel.
When the second deputy head of the palace takes over, Ziweitang sends the chief deputy head, which means it takes it very seriously. As for Qi Xuansu's new appointment, it is Donghua Zhenren, the head master, who is personally responsible. This specification is far beyond the standard.
The other second deputy palace lords are even far beyond the other chief deputy palace lords, and are almost on par with the real person in charge of the palace.
From top to bottom, countless eyes are staring at Ziweitang. The news that Master Donghua personally arranged for Qi Xuansu to take office will spread like the wind and reach the ears of all interested people. This is the "wind of Ziweitang"
The second meaning of .
Qi Xuansu naturally felt that this was a deliberate arrangement by Master Donghua to build momentum for him. The purpose was to convey a message to others - Qi Xuansu had a backer and was very tough. Don't mess with him.
When to take office specifically
, Ziweitang will also send someone to go with him instead of letting Qi Xuansu go to the post alone. For example, when Lei Xiaohuan left for Jiangnan Daofu today, he was personally accompanied by the second deputy head of Ziweitang and sent to Jiangnan Daofu.
Jinque's appointment was officially announced at Jiangnan Provincial Government.
Master Donghua and Qi Xuansu came to the signing room and sat opposite each other. Master Donghua told Qi Xuansu not to be formal, "Don't be so serious. I guess many people have told you these days, and you probably know it by heart."
"Yes." Qi Xuansu admitted this statement.
Master Donghua continued, "I won't go into the official details and get straight to the point. The Earth Master decided to let you go to the Borneo Taoist Palace as the second deputy palace chief. However, because you are too young, the second deputy palace master will have to be appointed in front of you.
Adding the word 'dai' means that you are appointed as the deputy palace master of the Borneo Taoist Palace, and you perform the duties of the second deputy palace master on behalf of the second deputy palace master. You are regarded as the second-ranking deputy palace master. Therefore, your rank is still a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, and you will not be directly promoted to a second-grade Taoist priest.
Taoist Master Yi, what do you think?"
Qi Xuansu had long understood the intention of the "Three Steps", so he did not have any dissatisfaction at this time, let alone emphasize how much credit he had made, but said truthfully, "I have no objections."
Master Donghua nodded slightly, "Very good, you want to remove the word 'generation', and I also want you to remove the word 'generation', so I need you to make some achievements as soon as possible, so that people who want to speak for you can
There is something to be said in Jinque."
Qi Xuansu's heart moved slightly, and he understood that the topic this time was coming.
Master Donghua continued, "This time I am sending you to the Borneo Taoist Government. In addition to daily affairs, there are three main points, or three directions for your actions. The first point is what Master Cihang said at the joint meeting.
, to attack the power of the Holy Court in Borneo and prevent all acts of destruction by the Holy Court on Borneo. The second point is to complete the responsibilities of the Borneo Taoist Government, strengthen the control of the royal families, chieftains, and sects of various Borneo countries, and enhance the friendship between the two sides.
, so that they can unite firmly around Daomen and strictly prevent situations like the Fenglinzhou rebellion from happening again."
"Or we can put it more bluntly, so that the local forces in Borneo can understand the truth. There is only one cloud above the head of Borneo, and that is the Taoist Gate, not other ghosts and monsters."
Qi Xuansu straightened his upper body slightly.
Master Donghua finally said, "The last point is also the most important point.
, that is, to cooperate with the great master in charge of the Borneo Taoist House, to identify and eradicate the separatist forces existing in Borneo, and to eliminate the entire Borneo Taoist House."
Qi Xuansu said softly, "The separatist forces mentioned by Master Zhangtang specifically refer to..."
"The Wang family." Master Donghua's face showed no expression, "That is, the real man Wang Jiaohe, the head of the Borneo Taoist government, and the family forces behind him."
Although Qi Xuansu had known this for a long time, he still felt dazed for a moment when he actually heard Donghua Master say it himself. This is not the first major Jiangnan case or the second major Jiangnan case. He directly moved a person.
See the real person.
There is no rule in the Taoist sect that states that a doctor cannot be punished, that is the rule of the Confucian sect.
This means the stakes are high.
Qi Xuansu had never experienced the first major Jiangnan case, but she knew a little bit about it from Zhang Yuelu's mouth, and she almost died. The second major Jiangnan case, Qi Xuansu had personally experienced it, and saw his opponent silenced all the way from Jiangling Mansion to
Jinling Mansion, behind it is the Burning Zhenwu Temple.
This time they ran into a territory that had been operated by others for many years, and it was another life-and-death struggle. It was easy to imagine what the Wang family could do. They would not just sit back and wait for death. They would definitely fight to the death.
Master Donghua looked at Qi Xuansu, "Are you feeling stressed?"
Qi Xuansu put his hands on his knees and said in a deep voice, "If you say there is no pressure, you are lying to others and yourself. However, no matter how difficult it is, we can ensure that we complete the mission assigned by Jinque."
"Very good." Master Donghua had a smile on his face, "This is the spirit that I want."
Immediately afterwards, Donghua Zhenren changed the subject, "But I still put my own safety first. Go in peace and come back in peace."
After saying that, Master Donghua took out a box from his Xumiwu and placed it on the table between the two of them.
Qi Xuansu stood up.
"Sit." Master Donghua pressed his left hand to indicate to Qi Xuansu to sit down, and opened the box with his right hand.
Qi Xuansu's eyes also turned to the box.
The box was opened. It was padded with velvet and placed inside was a smaller box, almost the size of an envelope. However, this smaller box was densely covered with various talismans and iron chains as thick as a little finger.
This seems to be some kind of sealed thing.
Qi Xuansu even felt a little cold inexplicably.
Donghua Zhenren's three fingers of his right hand gently pressed on the small box, "Like this
You won’t be too unfamiliar with the things, they were brought back from Fenglinzhou by you yourself.”
Qi Xuansu was startled for a moment, then realized, "It's the 'Xirui Sutra'!?"
Master Donghua smiled slightly, "Yes and no. Strictly speaking, these are just the pages of the 'Hirui Sutra'. They were torn from the main body of the 'Hirui Sutra' by the Earth Master through 'Di Shitian'. The real 'Hirui Sutra' is
The Ruijing is still in the hands of the Earth Master."
Qi Xuansu understood immediately.
According to the introduction of the Celestial Master, the pages of the "Xirui Sutra" were made from skin peeled off from the previous failed scribes, and it took 397 scribes to finally make it.
So in theory, each page is relatively independent. Cirilla can bind it into a book, and the Earth Master can naturally separate it again.
If people who are not immortal read the "Book of Sirila", then they will firmly believe that Sirela is the only true God in everything written in the book, and they will be forced to become followers of Sirila.
Immortal people can resist the influence of this book and will not become followers of Sirila, but they will become arrogant and their cultivation level will skyrocket in a short period of time. If they want to get rid of this influence in the end, it is inevitable
The ground lost part of the cultivation base.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but have doubts. The "Hirui Sutra" was so terrible. What was the purpose of the Earth Master and Master Donghua giving it to him? They would never use it as poison.
Master Donghua saw Qi Xuansu's doubts and took the initiative to explain, "The effectiveness of these scattered pages cannot be compared with the complete 'Xirui Sutra', and you have the 'Heart of Immortality Stone', so you can use the 'Xirui Sutra'"
's pages, the specific effect will not be to transform you into a follower of Sirila, but to enhance your realm and cultivation in a short period of time."
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He had seen the effect of Yi Zangnuo Zun's use of "Xirui Sutra" to instantly reshape his golden body. It was simply unreasonable.
"Attention." Master Donghua emphasized his tone slightly, "Even if the power is weakened, given your level of cultivation, in order to ensure safety, it is best to only use one page at a time, and every time you use a page, you will suffer backlash and become weak.
state, so you need to leave enough time interval. In addition, although you are protected by the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" and will not fall into complete arrogance and madness, your sanity will still be affected to a certain extent.
Influence. This box contains seven pages in total, so use it with caution."
Master Donghua closed the outer box again and pushed it in front of Qi Xuansu.
