Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu walked through the crowd very slowly.

Because every step he took, someone would salute Li Xuandu, and Li Xuandu would slow down, return the salute, and call out the other person's name. This was Li Xuandu's homework during this period. He memorized the names and names of all the hall masters and island masters in their portraits. Now it came in handy. Anyone who was called out by Li Xuandu was either flattered or proud.

After Li Xuandu walked through the crowd, he walked in front with Qin Su, Zhang Haishi, Li Feiyan and others. The rest of the people followed him in order according to their status and went to the Bajing Villa.

Today, the Bajing Villa is brand new, with the door open to respect its new owner.

Li Xuandu stopped in front of the villa, looked up at the plaque hanging high on the door, and didn't say much. He didn't agree, nor did he reject the good intentions of the crowd.

After all, it was a good intention, and you can't hit a smiling person.

Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and walked into the gate of Bajing Villa.

The people behind him only thought that the new leader was reminiscing about the past, and did not think deeply.

Bajing Villa covers a large area, and Zhenjing Jingshe is only a small part of it, so this time they did not go to Zhenjing Jingshe, but went directly to the main hall of Bajing Villa.

The main hall of Bajing Villa is different from Qingling Palace. Qingling Palace is a formal meeting place. There is only the throne of the leader at the top, and then other people sit on the left and right.

But Bajing Villa is actually a residence, so this main hall is no different from that of an ordinary family. The layout is regular. A long table is placed against the wall opposite the door. In front of the table is a four-immortal square table, and a Taishi chair is placed on each side, which is the main seat. Symmetrical tables and chairs are placed on both sides, which are the secondary seats.

Li Xuandu and Qin Su sat on the left and right seats, Zhang Haishi and Li Feiyan sat below them, and the others sat down separately, but there were not enough chairs, so the others had to stand behind the chairs, such as Situ Qiushui standing behind his father Situ Xuanlue.

Li Xuandu did not sit upright, nor did he pretend to be frivolous. He sat casually as usual, looked around the main hall, and said, "Today we are not discussing business, but just talking about family matters. There are not enough chairs and tea, please forgive me."

Everyone said it was okay.

But this could not be considered a lie, because for most people, it was indeed an honor to be able to enter the Eight Scenery Courtyard.

Li Xuandu deliberately spoke at a high speed: "Everyone sitting here or standing here are our family. Our family is really a big one. Not counting those nominal vassals, there are thousands of core disciples. The so-called sect master is the head of the family. To manage this big family well, in the words of Confucianism, this is the relationship between monarch, minister, father and son."

Everyone was shocked. These words reminded them of Li Daoxu, the previous owner of Bajing Villa. In the past, the whole sect liked to call the old sect master "old man" in private. This title is undoubtedly an extension of the "monarch and father" in Confucianism. What Li Xuandu said at this time, the way he spoke, and his tone, were all closely related to Li Daoxu. This reminded people of the contradictions between Li Xuandu and Li Daoxu, the father and son. Although Li Daoxu passed the position of sect master to Li Xuandu, it did not mean that these contradictions no longer existed.

Except Zhang Haishi and Li Feiyan, everyone was a little unsure.

Li Xuandu said self-deprecatingly: "In terms of age, most people present are older than me. Some are already fathers and mothers, and some are even grandfathers. It is a bit ridiculous for me, a person without children, to talk about father and son."

No one present thought it was ridiculous.

Li Xuandu said: "But father and son are not one person, but two people. Not all of them are fathers, but all of them are sons. The relationship between father and son depends not only on the father, but also on the son."

Some people lowered their heads, and some held their breath.

Li Xuandu said: "Applying to our Qingwei Sect, the so-called sect is actually not very smart. The master-disciple inheritance is the bond, and the master-disciple is like father and son. In the end, it is still a patriarchal system. The relationship between the sect master and the disciple is still the relationship between father and son. In the past, I was a son, and now I am a father. In the past, I was a son, and now the old man is gone, I have become a father."

The person who lowered his head lowered his head even lower, fearing that a trace of expression would be revealed.

"You all have heard about the dispute between me and the old man, and some of you have even participated in it yourself." Li Xuandu changed the subject, "At that time, I wrote something in which I severely criticized the old man. The old sect leader asked the thirty-six hall masters to discuss my crime. I also defended myself in the Jingxin Hall of the Eight Scenery Courtyard."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the hall masters who participated in the discussion of crimes suddenly hung in their throats.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xuandu continued, "I still remember the scene at that time. My second senior brother asked me, 'You gave advice to the old sect master, which made him furious. He said that you were rude. Regardless of whether you cursed Master, I now ask you, is there someone behind you who instructed you to do this?' I replied, 'I have already explained this matter to Master. Now the Qingwei Sect is not upright and the atmosphere is biased. We must make up our minds to rectify it. Master did not refute my advice. Now no one in the sect dares to tell Master about it, only I do. Do you doubt my intentions?'"

"Later, after the collusion, the second senior brother convicted me of the crime: 'Li Xuandu was rude to the old sect leader and should be punished severely. That is, from today on, all Li Xuandu's positions will be removed and expelled from the sect.' However, the second senior brother said again :'Man has five relationships: monarch and minister, father and son, brother, husband and wife, and friends. The first of the five relationships is the monarch and minister, followed by father and son. The old master and you are both monarch and minister, and you are also father and son. You are disobedient to human relations this time, which is indeed As my brother, I can’t help but feel helpless. I just hope that you can regret it well and return to the sect in the future will only be the thought of the old sect leader. '"

"It seems that the second senior brother's words are not wrong today. I have indeed returned to the sect. Looking back on the beginning, there were many inappropriate things in my advice. When I said that Zhengyi Sect had the advantage, but now it is Zhengyi The sect has weakened, and the Qingwei sect is still as stable as before."

Everyone didn't know what Li Xuan was going to say for a moment.

After all, it was Li Xuandu himself who defeated Zhengyi Sect with his own hands, which is also one of the important reasons why everyone in the Qingwei Sect was convinced by Li Xuandu.

However, Li Xuandu's tone and habit of speaking became more and more like Li Daoxu, which made people feel worried because Li Daoxu is best at paving the streets and then unexpectedly introduces the topic.

Sure enough, Li Xuandu changed his mind: "The reason why I didn't choose to go to Jingxin Hall today is because I didn't come to provoke a military officer today, right is right, wrong is

Wrong, I was indeed wrong back then. I misjudged the situation and was disrespectful to the old man, so it was reasonable to receive some punishment. But I don't think I'm wrong. ”

Except for Zhang Haishi and Li Feiyan who have always been alive, everyone else raised their hearts and dared not say anything.

Li Xuandu's tone increased a little: "I said to the old sect leader back then: 'Master's mistakenly acted, and all the disciples misunderstood, and none of them spoke right to the master. Du Yu's style of swearing, and Chen Shan's righteousness of silence , , is unknown; it is very flattering. However, I feel ashamed and discouraged, and have a back-end to say something to my master; I am obsessed with my original intention and praise my master. What is the crime of deceiving me? 'Today, I still don't think there is anything Wrong. I am not saying this to accuse the old sect leader, but people will make mistakes. This is the case with the old sect leader, and so is me. What I am accusing you hall masters, island masters, the old sect leader is practicing in the Bajing Villa and does not go out often. It is inevitable that you will be blind and confusing, but you know the disadvantages, but you don’t speak out directly, but just flatter and praise them and flatter them. This is the crime of deception. "

In an instant, except for Qin Su, Zhang Haishi and Li Feiyan, they could not sit still, and the rest of them knelt on the ground in a dark way. It also includes Situ Xuanluo and Lu Yanbing.

Li Xuan looked at everyone, returned to his previous tone, and said slowly, "I said, today is not a serious matter, nor is it a provocation to ask for punishment. Why do you have to do this? Get up."

Everyone was stunned for a while, then slowly got up and sat back to their seats, but they were still a little surprised.

Li Xuandu said again, "But when it comes to Guan Ming Saicong, I have a few words to say. Li Yuanying is not here today, so I won't talk about him anymore. Uncle, Brother Situ."

Li Daoshi and Situ Xuanluo immediately stood up from the chair again: "Here."

Li Xuandu said, "Let me talk about my uncle first. As the master of Tiankui Hall, you have the responsibility to protect the sect leader. It is like a moat, but this moat can block swords, spears, swords and halberds, and also block your own people. How many people If you want to see the old sect leader, you will be blocked back. Over time, no one will dare to turn away."

Master Li lowered his head and said, "I know my mistake."

Li Xuandu turned his gaze to Situ Xuanluo again: "Brother Situ, you are the master of Tianji Hall. Internal and external affairs, big and small news must be passed by you. In other words, what news can the old sect leader hear? It depends on you."

Situ Xuanluo immediately said, "I am guilty."

Li Xuandu said calmly: "It's not a question of sin, it's all because of the word "misunderstanding". People in the world say that the ice geese are fence-bearing plants, how good are you?"

Lu Yanbing was thick-skinned and just pretended that he didn't hear it.

Situ Xuan lowered his head slightly and did not refute.

With Li Yuanying who had not arrived, Li Xuandu defeated all the three leaders of the past, and no one dared to refute them.

Situ Qiushui also lowered her head, thinking that this fourth uncle was so majestic and majestic. The third uncle did not have such aura back then. He could only suppress so many hall masters and island masters, and the third uncle dared not behaved. The two masters of the three halls are so unpolite. This was the case when the old sect leader was in power. She gradually understood what her father said.

Li Xuandu calmed down his tone: "If a father fights for his son, he will not fall into unrighteousness. Therefore, if he should be unrighteous, the son should not fight against his father, and the ministers should not fight against the king. Therefore, if he should be unrighteous, he will fight against him and follow his father. How can I be filial to my orders? I will encourage you with you."

Everyone said respectfully: "Abide by the teachings of the sect leader."
