That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 920
This major reform of Jianzong, which was destined to cause an uproar, had begun slowly with Xu Beiyou's appointment of the three elders of Jianzong.

After the news spread, the entire Jiangdu would definitely be shaken by it.The three newly released elders of Jianzong, any one of them, is enough to make Jiangdu talk about it for a long time, but once the three of them came to power together, it was like a big stone fell on the head, which made people stunned.

When Xu Beiyou left the main seat and went to the back hall, nearly a hundred members of the Sword Sect stood up to see them off. When Xu Beiyou left the main hall, most of the elders of the Sword Sect flocked to Zhang Xueyao, wanting to get a word from the "old master" Find out some insider details about this reorganization of Jianzong.The people who originally belonged to the Wenxiang sect surrounded Qin Mumian and formed a sect of their own, completely different from the surrounding Jianzong members.In fact, many Wenxiangjiao elders disagreed with the leader's joining Jianzong, but Qin Mumian was used to being arbitrary, and she herself was the first leader of Wenxiangjiao, and there were no ancestral rules to suppress her, so she decided No one dared to object to the matter, but no one dared to jump out and say anything at this time.

As for the young people belonging to Xu Beiyou's direct lineage, they stood with Bingchen. They had already heard the news in advance. From their point of view, since Bingchen was personally invited by the suzerain to come to Jianzong, he naturally belonged to the suzerain. It is even more evident that he served as the head of the three elders for the first time.

However, the three female elders did not stay here for a long time, but after explaining to each other, they also went to the back hall.Everyone knew that the three elders were going to meet the suzerain to discuss the next matter of reorganizing the sword sect, so they didn't dare to rush to the back hall, so they had to disperse separately.

The entire newly built Jianqi Lingkong Hall occupies a large area. It was originally rebuilt from the Zirong Temple in the Daoshu Workshop of Jiangnan Daomen, and several Taoist temples were merged on the basis of the Zirong Temple. The entire backyard is enough to accommodate There are nearly a thousand people, but there are not so many people in the current Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, so that the huge Sword Qi Lingkong Hall is empty and deserted.

In the corner of the backyard of Jianqi Lingkong Hall, there is a small bamboo forest, in which there is a path paved with bluestones, and at the end is an open space in the bamboo forest, where there are stone tables and stone benches.At this time Xu Beiyou was sitting on one of the stone benches, glanced at the other three stone benches that were still empty, stretched out his fingers to gently caress the cold stone table, and touched the subtle lines on the table with his fingertips. Thoughts.

At this time, he couldn't see the scene ahead, but he could guess one or two. This has already revealed a big problem. His original intention was to eliminate the division between the two major factions within Jianzong. After setting up the three elders, However, the germination of the three major factions appeared invisibly. It is unrealistic to completely eliminate the factions, because it is human nature to form groups, and to eliminate the differences of factions to the greatest extent requires the efforts of the three new elders Cooperate.

Everyone has selfishness. Although the three of them respect Xu Beiyou, the master of the Sword Sect, they may not be like sisters. After all, the combined age of the three women is nearly [-] years old. Friends of China, how many points are left now is still open to question.And looking at the past of the three women, it was by no means smooth sailing. Each of them had their own ups and downs and frustrations, which made the three of them have different eccentric temperaments. They are all elders of Xu Beiyou. On the opposite side, seniority doesn't matter, but if it's your own family, this seniority is a hurdle that you can't get around, especially Zhang Xueyao and Qin Mumian, if they disagree with Xu Beiyou, Xu Beiyou is not easy to use unless it is a last resort. Hard line.

Seniority and seniority are things that are invisible but have great influence. Take Han Xuan as an example. It is precisely because he is a veteran minister with a very high seniority and seniority that he returned to the temple after 20 years of seclusion. It is easy to intimidate all the officials, this is the irreplaceability of the old officials, Xiao Xuan wants to depose Lan Yu, he can only use Han Xuan who is almost the same seniority as Lan Yu, if it is replaced by other courtiers, it will be difficult to convince. public.In the same way, Zhang Wubing served as the left governor of the Northwest Army, and Yu Kuang served as the left governor of the Jiangnan Army, both because of their high seniority, enough to convince the masses, and many Hanlins in the Imperial Academy endured hard times and called them The same is true for "raising hope".

Now Jianzong is considered to have a change of dynasty. Although Xu Beiyou is no longer a young master, he is not as arbitrary as Shangguan Xianchen back then. Facing "veteran ministers" like Zhang Xueyao, he is restricted by these qualifications and seniority, so he can't just use force.As the suzerain of Jianzong, he must have the capacity to tolerate people, to accommodate "yin" and "yang", and then to reconcile yin and yang, this is the way of the master, or in a sense, This is the emperor's mind.

No one has taught Xu Beiyou these things, but as long as he sits in this position, he can learn many skills without a teacher.

A few years ago, Xu Beiyou's eyes were only black and white, he had no understanding of the world, and his heart was filled with the dream of being a master, and there was no world.

Later, he understood a truth, not just looking at the three inches of land in front of him, but looking far away.How can we see far?Then you have to go to a high place, the so-called climbing high and looking far away. When you go up the mountain, your vision will naturally broaden.

So he knew that the world is not black and white, and he also understood what to do after becoming a master.

While Xu Beiyou was meditating, footsteps came from the path in the bamboo forest. Xu Beiyou withdrew his thoughts and got up from the stone bench to greet him.

Bingchen, Zhang Xueyao, and Qin Mumian came hand in hand. Xu Beiyou saluted first, which was regarded as repaying the gift that the three of them gave him earlier, and then the four of them took their seats. You come here to discuss matters."

Bingchen has never been good at socializing, his face is expressionless, and he keeps silent.Qin Mumian looked indifferent, as a "newcomer" of the Sword Sect, he also didn't intend to speak, only Zhang Xueyao, who was both an old man and a half-master, took the initiative to say: "There are no outsiders here, Nangui, just speak up if you have anything to say. "

Xu Beiyou nodded, and said: "Then I'll just say it straight, the party struggle has always been a serious disaster, and it can be seen from today's Taoism. I don't want Jianzong to do the same. This is the fundamental purpose of my reorganization of Jianzong But reorganizing Jianzong is a major event, and it cannot be done by me alone, so I hope the three elders will help me."

Qin Mumian let out a long sigh, and said: "I probably understand what Nangui meant. You want to eliminate factions within Jianzong, at least not to hinder each other. Take the matter of Daomen as an example. Murong Xuan and Chen Ye are fighting hard at the front, while the other group of people are trying their best to hold them back, and even Qiu Ye is helpless, Nan Gui is afraid that this kind of thing will happen to us, right?"
