Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu felt that everything since Yun Mengze's miracle was finally connected, and nothing was isolated.

The general idea of ​​the Buddhist sect can also be clarified. As early as the war in the Western Regions, they began to make arrangements in advance, with the intention of taking advantage of the struggle between the three Taoist sects to draw chestnuts from the fire. Since we can't defeat them in the frontal battlefield, let the Taoist sects kill each other.

To this end, they took advantage of the war in the Western Regions to fully infiltrate the Taoist government in the Western Regions. In addition to the traitors at the top, there are also many middle-level traitors. The Beichen Hall Branch recently identified several people. These people have something in common, they have all participated in the Western Regions. All wars were fought during this period.

This also makes it difficult for the Taoist sect to deal with it. Many people have fought for the Taoist sect, and many of their actions were not voluntary, but were coerced by the Buddhist sect. If you really have to deal with it harshly, it will inevitably lead to gossip and chill people's hearts. But we have to deal with it, especially such a major issue of principle, which will have extremely bad consequences.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu was very hesitant and kept suppressing the matter for the time being. He planned to hand over the issue to the relevant parties in Yujing. Feng Xiantang also found it difficult and was unwilling to take over. He believed that the Feng Xiantang branch of the Western Region Taoist Prefecture could judge according to law and did not need to report it to the main hall. After all, these people were not of high rank and were not real people. There was no need to alarm the main hall.

Of course, it is said to be in accordance with the law, but legal principles are not limited to human relationships, and the impact must be taken into consideration. In the end, it still depends on the opinions of the higher-ups.

When Qi Xuansu reported this matter to Master Donghua, he mentioned this matter. Master Donghua gave a 16-character policy for handling the matter: "The merits cannot offset the crime, and the crime does not negate the merits. The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped."

Qi Xuansu understood.

At this time, the matter of Jiashen Lingguan came to an end. When leaving, Qi Xuansu also asked Master Cihang: "Master, how should we deal with Jiashen Lingguan?"

Master Cihang had obviously made up his mind for a long time and replied directly: "Although Jiashen Lingguan did not betray on his own initiative and has now 'changed his mind to be a good person', the rules are the rules. They are not designed for him alone, and naturally they are not for him alone." He is broken, so it is inevitable that he will be stripped of his armor. My opinion is to keep him alive and put him under residential surveillance in the future. "

Qi Xuansu combined the sixteen-character handling policy of Master Donghua and Master Cihang's treatment of Jiashen Lingguan, and he can probably determine the outcome of the treatment of this group of people.

What's more, this time the Taoist government in the Western Regions has been penetrated like a sieve, and the real person in charge of the government who has the power of personnel has the unshirkable leadership responsibility. However, Chen Zhengxian is dead, and the deceased is the most important, so it is difficult to mention it again. Qi Xuansu was here to clean up the mess, and it was impossible to blame him.

Further up is Master Donghua. Should Master Donghua be held accountable? With Qi Xuansu here, there would be no such possibility. Donghua Zhenren put his absolutely trusted disciple successor in the position of the real person in charge of the Taoist Government in the Western Regions, just to prevent someone from making a big fuss and using the topic as an excuse.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that matters related to accountability will be left to nothing, and at most they will be fined three drinks.

However, there is still one problem that remains unresolved. Since it was not the Jiashen Lingguan who leaked Chen Zhengxian's itinerary, the scope of suspicion has been further narrowed.

Zhao Jiaowu.

He is a Taoist priest, and a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

This is not something that ordinary people can handle. No matter how high the status of the Jiazi spiritual official is, it is still a spiritual official. Taoist priests lead spiritual officials. This is the iron law of Taoism. Li Zhuyu and Li Mingcheng were both under Zhao Jiaowu in terms of position and rank. If they really wanted to examine Zhao Jiaowu, Beichen Hall would have to send a second deputy hall master.

Just as the key to taking down Li Tianlan was Zhang Jucheng, this decision had to be made by Qi Xuansu. Even if Jinque sent a team to come down, it would still require the cooperation of Qi Xuansu, the real person in charge. There is a high probability that Qi Xuansu will communicate with Jinque and put forward handling opinions. Jinque will agree with Qi Xuansu's handling opinions, and then Qi Xuansu will be responsible for the implementation.

However, Qi Xuansu cannot return to the Taoist Palace of the Western Regions yet. With the issue of Jiashen Lingguan clarified and the situation becoming clearer, there is no need to hide the news of Monk Xiao's death. It is necessary to announce it.

This has two advantages.

The first is to boost our morale, calm down the anger of the Taoist sect, demonstrate the majesty of the Taoist sect, and shock both inside and outside.

After Chen Zhengxian was attacked and killed, some people put forward the theory of revenge. If there is no rain, then it will inevitably become a joke and be regarded as incompetent and weak. Buddhism will inevitably take advantage of it, and many people with evil intentions will be ready to take action - Taoism's Shenzhi Zhenren was killed by Buddhism. As a result, nothing happened to Buddhism. It seems that Taoism is just like that. If Buddhism can do it, we can do it too.

Daomen must solve this problem in the shortest possible time, and it must be solved perfectly and beautifully, so that it can shock Xiao Xiao and let everyone understand the truth. Of course, you can oppose Daomen or even attack Daomen, as long as you can bear the consequences of this behavior. All serious consequences.

Especially when the battle on the front line is intense, Dao Sect is undoubtedly holding its breath, and other forces are also waiting and watching, so it is even more necessary to break the situation from other angles.

When Master Donghua learned that Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu had successfully trapped and killed Monk Xiao, he praised Qi Xuansu's planning and execution ability and Zhang Yuelu's courage.

In this matter, Master Donghua is undoubtedly the one who is under the greatest pressure among the three princes, as it is related to the upcoming election for the Grand Master. However, Qi Xuansu has indeed given face to Master Donghua, and he can always complete the tasks smoothly or even exceed the quota. It is no wonder that in the personnel affairs When arranged

Mr. Hua wanted to listen to Qi Xuansu's opinion.

All value is basically earned by oneself. If Qi Xuansu cannot hold up the wall, or keeps screwing up, let alone Qiniang's godson, even if he is the biological son of the earth master, the Taoist monk will change from Zhang Yuelu to Master Cihang would not be able to reach his current position.

The second point is to damage the morale of Buddhism. Your Dharma protector Vajra was beheaded by the Taoist sect, and the fake immortal Duizi Immortal. This is the price of provoking the Taoist sect. If this war continues, you can decide for yourself what the outcome will be.

The momentum of Buddhist radicals can be seriously dealt a blow, so that there will be other voices within Buddhism.

Buddhism wants civil strife in Taoism, but as long as the war is frustrated, civil strife will definitely occur in Buddhism first. Although people like Wu Shi Dharma King participate in the war, they essentially do not agree with this kind of risky behavior. Once a big setback is encountered, Wu Shi Dharma King and his faction will definitely take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity. The right to speak, and then seek peace with the Taoist sect. This is one of the reasons why Qi Xuansu did not kill the Wu Shi Dharma King.

Kill the hard-line war faction and leave the weak peace faction behind.

So Qi Xuansu asked Monk Xiao's skull back from Xiao Yin and gave it to Zhenren Donghua, who then took the matter to Jinque for discussion.

After Jinque's research and decision, the death of Monk Xiao, the murderer of Chen Zhengxian, was officially announced, and Monk Xiao's skull was "passed to the nine sides."

Let’s start from Fenglinzhou.

The last time Fenglinzhou rebelled, the Fenglinzhou Buddhist Sect was jumping up and down. It was the second most culprit after Tianmen.

Next is Borneo.

Behind Chen Shuhua's rebellion was the shadow of Nanyang Buddhism. Where did the Blood-robed Bodhisattva and the White-robed Buddha come from? Even when Pei Shenfu and Qi Xuansu were wrestling with each other, people from Nanyang Buddhism also intervened. Dating back to the time of the Insect Rebellion, Nanyang Buddhism was also one of the masterminds behind the scenes.

Others don't know the details of Monk Xiao, but these two Buddhists should know it.

Just for them to see.

You can continue to cause chaos, but this is what will happen. Do you really have the courage to die for the Buddha?

What happened in the Six Dynasties was just for the family's private purposes.

Taoism cannot escape its stereotypes, so can Buddhism be an exception? Three religions and one family, who is better than whom?

At the same time, Taoism announced that Buddhism had violated the three-religion covenant signed after the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. Buddhism's move was a rebellion.

In the original dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the Lord Buddha died and Buddhism was defeated. It was forced to sign a city alliance. In fact, it was signed by the three religions, which determined the direction of the unity of the three religions and the leadership of Taoism. Taoism was the head of the three religions and the third religion. of

Leader, if the Buddhist sect rebels against the Taoist sect, it is committing rebellion.

This is characterization, and it is also Taoism’s move to strive for the moral high ground.

Although Taoism is essentially about revenge and punishment, its superficial claim is to punish murderers and quell rebellions in accordance with the law.

That is to say, one statement internally and another statement externally.

Finally, there is the question about Qi Xuansu.

At critical moments, those who make key contributions are considered key contributors, and such people must be rewarded.

It's just that Qi Xuansu has reached his current position and it is difficult for him to be promoted again. You can't be promoted to the Master of the Nine Halls not long after you just took up the position of Master, right? Moreover, Jiutang is a carrot and a pit, and there is no vacant position. Unless after the election, Master Donghua or Master Qingwei become the head master, one will be vacant. Or when the third master ascends and dies, someone will be promoted to deputy headmaster Da Zhenren, and the space will be available.

At least there are no vacancies now.

Therefore, it is not easy to deal with Qi Xuansu's reward. Promotion is definitely not possible. After discussion, Jinque decided to remove the word "generation". Qi Xuansu officially became the real person in charge of the Western Region Taoist Palace from the acting head of the Western Regions Taoist Palace, while retaining the title of the real person in charge of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. He has truly entered the Taoist government level.

If the Master Shenzhi is divided into four levels, then Qi Xuansu is now promoted from the fourth level Shenzhi Master to the third level Shenzhi Master, leaving the first level of the headmaster who participated in the small discussion and the third prince level who is expected to compete for the big headmaster.

But this is not enough. After all, Qi Xuansu killed an immortal, and it was an immortal of great significance. He was not the kind of unknown immortal that jumped out of nowhere.

Since Qi Xuansu himself could not be promoted, and Zhang Yuelu could not be directly promoted to Shenzhi Zhenren, he would start from other places. Jinque suddenly discovered that Lin Yuanmiao and Qi Xiaoyin were also the heroes who participated in the whole thing.

Lin Yuanmiao is already a real person, and his position is not easy to be promoted. If he doesn't have a position, then material rewards will be given.

Not only should Lin Yuanmiao be restored to her original state, but Lin Yuanmiao should also be allowed to reach a higher level, reaching the level of a top pseudo-immortal. There is no need to doubt the resources of the Taoist sect. Only if the Taoist sect wants to do it, no Taoist sect can do it.

As for Xiao Yin, is he still a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest? Then directly upgrade one level to become a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. His position will remain the same and he will still be the secretary of Master Qi Da. This is a bit like Pei Xiaolou in the past. He had no rank but was actually an idle person.

This is equivalent to distributing the credit of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu to the people around them, without treating them unfairly, and avoiding the situation of no reward.

At the same time, Long Xiaobai, who killed a Buddhist leader, was officially granted the same birth as a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.
