Pawn Crossing the River

As expected by Qi Xuansu, when Ziweitang announced the list of personnel to be promoted and appointed, some voices immediately appeared within the Taoist government, saying that the new leader would establish a "Wanxiang Taoist Palace Sect" in the Western Region Taoist House. The abbreviation of "Wanxiang Sect" is very simple. They are all people from Wanxiang Dao Palace, which is his "natal family".

Weird and strange.

However, the people in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace who benefited from this were not to be outdone. They immediately brought out the Shangfang Sword and threatened that the reason for this personnel appointment was Zhao Jiaowu's defection. Naturally, those promoted by Zhao Jiaowu must be reviewed together, and they cannot Use again. There is no problem with the decision of the real person in charge. Anyone who questions the real person in charge at this time is a remnant of Zhao Jiaowu and a Buddhist spy. They must be scrutinized strictly and will not be tolerated!

This is a slap in the face.

Opposing the promotion of the Wanxiang Sect is opposing the real person in charge, and opposing the real person in charge is the remnant of Zhao Jiaowu. Since he is a remnant of Zhao Jiaowu, he is a Buddhist spy. Of course, he must be completely defeated and he will never be able to stand up again.

This is something Qi Xuansu doesn't want to see, but there is no good way to solve it for the time being.

The election of the Grand Master is imminent, and he cannot slowly balance the power. He can only seize power as quickly as possible in this relatively crude way.

The voices questioning the Wanxiang faction quickly became quieter, mainly because Qi Xuansu had won over the local faction headed by Hu Jiachong. Qi Xuansu did not engage in expansion, allowing them to maintain their position, and naturally they could not stand up against Qi Xuansu.

However, another theory with evil intentions has been circulated, saying that our real person in charge has great ambitions and vigorously promotes the children of Taoist palaces, mainly from poor families, to win people's hearts.

, wanting to imitate what the Five Dynasties Great Masters did back then.

In the current Dao sect climate, comparing someone to the Fifth Generation Grand Master is not considered a compliment. After all, the Third Master and the Sixth Generation Grand Master almost completely denied the Fifth Generation Grand Master, but stopped at the last moment, but He also did not rectify the name of the Five Dynasties Grand Master. Just like saying someone is Wang Jujun or Wei Huibian, it is slightly derogatory.

In the past, people often said that Zhang Yuelu had the style of the Fifth Generation Grandmaster. At first glance, this was a compliment to Zhang Yuelu, but in fact, it was saying that Zhang Yuelu acted domineeringly, just like the Fifth Generation Grandmaster back then, implying that Zhang Yuelu was unpopular.

Now some people say that Qi Xuansu wants to imitate the great masters of the Five Dynasties, which means that Qi Xuansu is against the Taoist family, which is his heart to be punished.

The most taboo thing for the Three Dao aristocratic families is people like the Great Master of the Five Dynasties. He is not from the same family as the Taoist sect, but he dares to depose the deputy master, Da Zhenren, who is not from the same family. Do you really think of yourself as a Xuansheng? How could this happen! The Taoist sect will never allow such people to exist, and must guard against subtle changes and nip them in the bud.

It's one thing to fight among your own people, but it's another thing to take advantage of "outsiders".

Don't forget that Qi Xuansu came from a poor family, and in this regard he was consistent with the great master of the Five Dynasties. No matter what he thinks in his heart, or what he plans to do in the future, as far as the present is concerned, he will never dare to question the legitimacy of the three major families, nor will he dare to follow the example of the fifth generation master, unless He no longer wants his lotus crown.

On the contrary, Li Changge is not afraid of this kind of statement. He is the "Tianhuang nobleman" of the Taoist sect. Looking at the Taoist sect, there are few more noble than him. If he is said to be against the aristocratic family, then

It's nonsense and others won't believe it.

Even Donghua Zhenren is not afraid. Although the Pei family is not one of the three major aristocratic families, they are also the heroes of Xuansheng Zhongxing Taoist sect. If the three major aristocratic families belong to the first level of kings and nobility, Zhang and Li are princes, and the Yao family is the county princes, then the Pei family is also the first level of dukes. They are all nobles themselves and there are no outsiders.

Qi Xuansu was the only exception. He didn't even have a serious master. He was raised as a master and apprentice. When Donghua Master accepted him as his disciple, he had already made his mark, and he seemed to be a monk halfway. If it weren't for the relationship between Qiniang and Zhang Yuelu, he wouldn't have been regarded as one of his own, and he wouldn't have been promoted so quickly.

But having said that, the godson is not his biological son after all, and the son-in-law is only half a son.

With such intentions, Qi Xuansu would naturally not be lenient and ordered Lu Yujue to investigate strictly and not tolerate it!

As a result, after checking again and again, it turned out that the news came from the Kunlun Taoist Mansion.

It's the Kunlun Taoist House again. Last time Zheng Zaishi's incident was also related to the Kunlun Taoist House. Co-authoring the Kunlun Taoist House to defend Yujing was secondary, but creating obstacles for Qi Xuansu was the main thing.

Qi Xuansu could only write this down for the time being and continue to promote the Taoist government's personnel arrangements.

The focus is on the level of assistant manager and chief executive. This is the middle level that connects the upper and lower levels. It is very important. Ziweitang cannot do it for him. Qi Xuansu has to make the decision himself.

This kind of matter nominally needs to be discussed by the palace master, but the chief executive is vacant. Lu Yujue and Hu Jiaochong are both Qi Xuansu's people, and the master of the palace is also on Qi Xuansu's side. Who among the rest dares to oppose Qi Xuansu?

What's more, nowadays it is very

At that time, various traitors and inner ghosts emerged in an endless stream, and the entire Taoist government in the Western Regions was highly suspicious. Qi Xuansu wielded a murderous sword and combed through the Taoist government in the name of Jinque. Whoever opposes Qi Xuansu at this time is really not afraid of being beaten as Zhao. Teach me a party? Although Qi Xuansu did not have this intention, others did not dare to think otherwise, and naturally they would not object to Qi Xuansu.

So these decisions about personnel appointments were passed quickly.

I have to say that power is also about timing. If you miss this opportunity, the situation will change. When the page is turned and the matter is finalized, who is a traitor and who is not a traitor, and the dust has settled, Qi Xuansu will no longer have a murderous sword.

This is like supporting a new emperor. Only during the short period of time when the old emperor has passed away and the new emperor has not yet been decided, the minister Gu Ming has the power to decide the emperor. When the new emperor ascends the throne and the title has been decided, he loses this power. It’s the importance of timing.

Qi Xuansu understands this truth, so he must take advantage of this rare opportunity to finalize many things, cook the rice before it is raw, and take his time on other unimportant matters.

Qi Xuansu not only met and got to know these newly promoted people personally, but also talked to them one by one.

Zhang Yuelu's attitude towards this was neither in favor nor against.

She believed that Taoist priests should be loyal to the Taoist sect rather than to a certain person, so she disapproved of it.

But in this current situation, how to define Taoism? Who can represent Taoism?

The three divisions are on rotation. Should they be loyal to the Heavenly Master in the first half of the year, the Earth Master in the second half of the year, and the National Master in the next year? No one in the Taoist sect would do this. After all, the three divisions were not loyal to the Grand Master. The three of them joined forces to evade the Grand Master, which in itself was

If you are not on the right footing, how can you get the loyalty of others who are not part of your own faction?

Even if the Fuwei Taoist sect rules the world with filial piety, each of them looks for his parents and his mentor, and is filial to his elders but not as filial to others. This kind of personal dependence gives a solid theoretical foundation to the dispute between the three ways.

In the final analysis, in today's world, if one does not cultivate one's mind, Taoist priests are just ordinary people with a strong sense of cultivation and strong martial arts, but they still retain the attributes of ordinary people and maintain the state of human society. Even if they are immortals, because when they become immortals, Days are short, less than a hundred years, and the body has been completely transformed, but the mentality has not yet completely changed.

The Taoist sect does not have an independent will. The Taoist sect is composed of an individual. Loyalty to the Taoist sect is still loyal to the individual, so she does not object.

Zhang Yuelu simply ignored this matter, pursued his own affairs in his position, and focused all his energy on logistics.

Under this circumstance, Jin Que quickly determined the candidate for the new chief deputy palace master - Li Zhuyu.

This was something Qi Xuansu never expected.

Master Qingwei actually pushed Li Zhuyu up. The main reason was of course the principle of being nearby when the incident happened suddenly. Li Zhuyu had been in the Taoist House of the Western Regions recently and was familiar with the situation. He was from Taiping Taoism. There are not many people interacting with each other, and there are no interests involved.

Zhang Yuelu is also familiar with the situation and cannot downgrade Zhang Yuelu.

Li Zhuyu has been the deputy hall master for so many years and participated in the Fenglinzhou War, so her qualifications are fair; she is also the adopted daughter of Master Qingwei, which is a potential bonus; in terms of realm cultivation, of course she cannot compete with people like Qi Xuansu On a par with each other, but the family background is here, all kinds of qualifications are

Yuan Buqiu has also reached the immeasurable stage. If Qi Jianyuan had not died, he would be about the same as Li Zhuyu; his rank is the newly promoted second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest.

This level is a mixed bag of good and bad people. They are also real people, and the gap is even bigger than the second to ninth level.

The lowest level is the idle real person, who has no position at all and only has the title of real person. In the past, Ji Jiaozhen was in this rank.

The slightly higher level is the nominal real person. In the past, Pei Xiaolou, Lin Yuanmiao, and now Xiao Yin all belong to this rank. They have official positions, but no real power. They usually work in a certain Taoist palace as a nominal assistant, or Nothing serious.

Not to mention that these four people hit it off, the Nanyang Three Friends and the alternate Xiao Yin are all ordinary experiences.

A higher-level real person has a position and real power, but is one level behind the second and chief. A typical example is Hu Jiachong. In the past, Li Minghuang, and now Ji Jiaozhen, Lin Yuanmiao and others are usually deputy governors. Li Zhuyu also holds the position of master and deputy hall master at this level.

Then there are the real people at the level of Chief Deputy Palace Master and Second Deputy Palace Master.

The real persons of the first deputy hall master and the second deputy hall master are at a higher level.

Next is the fourth level of Zhenzhi Zhenren. Zhanzhen Zhenren is at the fourth level. The chief of Shangsantang can also be included in this rank. Although he does not have the identity of Zhenzhi Zhenren, his power is even greater.

The real person in charge is at the third level, which is Qi Xuansu's level. However, there are distinctions between large and small Daofu at this level. Xiyu Daofu, Borneo Daofu, Jiangnan Daofu, Qizhou Daofu, Shuzhou Daofu, etc. belong to Da Daofu. Xiangzhou Daofu, Dijing Daofu, and Luosuzhou Daofu The prefecture, Luzhou Daofu, etc. belong to the small Daofu and have different weights.

Qi Xuansu, who is in charge of Da Dao Mansion and also serves as the real person in charge of the palace, is already at the top of the first level of the head palace.

The second level is those who are qualified to participate in Jinque's small discussion. They are the real core of the Taoist sect. The so-called Jinque's decision is essentially their decision.

The first level is those who are qualified to compete for the position of Grand Master, that is, the top three princes in Jinque.

After careful calculation, the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest has nine steps.

Xiao Yin is a real person, Donghua is a real person, and their gold content is very different. Some people can climb all the way from the ninth-level Taoist priest to the second-level Taiyi Taoist priest, but they will never reach the threshold of the first-level spiritual master in their lifetime.

Although Li Zhuyu was promoted to the second rank Taiyi Taoist Priest, it was not outrageous. It could even be said that he was far behind, just a little better than Xiao Yin. Furthermore, Qi Xuansu’s adopted daughter can be promoted, but Qingwei Zhenren’s adopted daughter cannot be promoted?

However, Li Zhuyu also added the word "generation" in front of him, which was regarded as a concession from Master Qingwei. After all, he was promoted a bit quickly. Just like Master Donghua wanted Qi Xuansu to be promoted to the head of the government, he had to add the word "generation". Of course, if you do well, you can remove the word "generation". If you don't do well, you don't have to be dismissed, because you are still an agent in the first place, not officially, so you can just end the agency.

This kind of acting position is not easy to get. Not everyone can hold other positions like Qi Xuansu. They must resign from their previous positions. This means there is no way out. If they do not do well or make mistakes, they cannot get rid of that position. With the word "generation", he failed to become a regular official smoothly, and his original position was occupied by others. That is, he was left with nothing. He only had a real person level and no position, and he suddenly became an idle real person.

Li Zhuyu didn’t even think about it

I realized that I was so destined to Qi Xuansu, and after going around and over, I became his subordinate again.
