Taiping Inn

Li Xuandu sighed, "After Zhang Xiang's death, some people said that he was 'good at planning the country and sloppy at planning for himself', and I agree deeply. Zhang Xiang's ability to have the power of the past is inseparable from the late emperor. The monarch and minister complement each other. Without one of them, the other one will inevitably be unsustainable. Therefore, Zhang Xiang’s power and strategy are not very clever, otherwise he would not be overthrown by the Queen Mother and King Jin under the good situation. I admire Zhang The place where the prefect is his means of governing the country, and his spirit of being gone to thousands of people, it is not his way of power."

Lu Yanbing was surprised. He never expected that Li Xuan, who had always highly praised Zhang Suqing, would say such words.

Although Li Xuan is now unable to see things with his eyes, he seems to have guessed Lu Yanbing's surprise and smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, no one is perfect. I don't deny Zhang Xiang. I just said that Zhang Xiang also has shortcomings. People in the world There is a common problem. Always deny the whole person through one of his shortcomings and mistakes, and then deny all his past advantages and achievements by denying this person. Just like a general who has expanded his territory, he cannot be just because of him. He teased a good woman and had a moral loss, so he erased all his past achievements. Fellowship is merit, fault is fault, and fault is not worth it, and fault is undeniable."

Lu Yanbing whispered: "Inherit the teachings."

Li Xuandu continued, "If you really want to talk about the power and conspiracy, Zhang Xiang is not good, and the Empress Dowager Xie Zhi is not at the right time. The real power is the old man."

Lu Yanbing was shocked again.

Li Xuandu whispered: "Is the old man powerful? Awesome. At that time, the old man could make the third brother and me with just one word. Do you think it is powerful? What does my swordsmanship mean that my sword is three feet taller than the third brother? I listen I want to be complacent, but what will the third brother think after hearing this? Don’t forget that the third brother is not the fifth brother who is not motivated. How can he allow others to get involved in anything he cares about? ? ”

Lu Yanbing couldn't help asking, "Senior brother has known about these things for a long time?"

Li Xuandu shook his head again and said, "I don't know. If I had known it, I wouldn't have had such a fuss with the third brother. It's said that the authorities were confused. I was a person in the game at that time and had no choice. Many things are gradually being in my mind. What I only realized after fading out of this 'three-four battle' is that the bystanders have cleared it. But it is too late to figure it out at this time."

Lu Yanbing inserted the "Purple Chi" in his hand diagonally on the ground and said softly: "If the senior brother really has the opportunity to inherit the Taoist tradition, I wonder what the senior brother would do?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "It's very difficult."

Then Li Xuandu pointed the bamboo stick in his hand on the fifth vertical line: "The old man has taken in total six direct disciples, but unfortunately he has no son, so it is not appropriate to call him a young master. As for what kind of master, the emperor, the prince, the prince, the prince, the prince The lord, the marquis, the uncle, the uncle, the master, the old man, the traditions of those who practice Taoism are not in line with the traditions of us, so the people in the sect, whether they are young or old, are respected as gentlemen. From the eldest to the sixth. "

"Six gentlemen, there are six hills, which are high and low. Now some hills are no longer there, such as the former Grand Master and the Fourth Mr. and the remaining hills, among the remaining hills, The highest is Mr. Three and one party, and the lowest is your fifth party."

Lu Yanbing frowned, wondering what Li Xuan said.

Li Xuandu said calmly: "With the old man's temperament, he will never allow others to share his power. In other words, if the old man doesn't give it, you can't rob it. The emperor's mind is perfect, so now he wants to suppress it. It is these three men and one party, and what you need to support is the sixth men and one party, which is slightly weaker than the three men and one party. If the sixth son is smarter, he should try his best to win over your fifth senior sister and then work hard on his second senior brother's side. With a respectful attitude, at least the second senior brother must not help each other. In this way, with the support of the old man, Xiao Liuzi has the ability to compete with the third party. As for the fourth and fourth masters, it is all It's going to be tomorrow."

At this moment, Lu Yanbing would remember the powerless feeling he had when he was in front of this fourth senior brother, and his face turned slightly pale.

Li Xuandu folded his hands and pressed the top of the bamboo stick, and said leisurely: "But when Xiao Liuzi left in a hurry, you didn't go with him, but stayed with me. From then on, I knew , He did not try his best to win over you, the fifth senior sister. Maybe he still relies on his good talent and high level, and he has a lot of sarcastic sarcasm to you. Of course, he has the idea of ​​giving a sweet date with a blow, but unfortunately he is not yet The young master appointed by the old man is even just a tool to check and balance the third brother, and you don’t have any other choices and ways to retreat, so this kind of control technique is a bit earlier.”

Lu Yanbing only felt his hands trembling slightly, and his back felt even more chill.

Compared with the fourth senior brother’s thoughts, what is his previous little thought?

Li Xuandu chuckled: "The third brother is smart, but unfortunately his qualifications are a little poor, and it is difficult to fully inherit the old man's mantle. Xiao Liuzi has good qualifications and is expected to inherit the old mantle. Unfortunately, he has no brains and is self-righteous, so he becomes more and more No brains. As for me, my qualifications are better than the third brother, but I still can't compare to the Little Six. My brains are easier to use than the Little Six, but I can't compare to the third brother. The real candidate is actually the eldest brother or the second brother, but unfortunately, I'm a pity The senior brother died early, and the second senior brother was completely disconnected from the old man because of the senior brother's affairs. Over the years, the two people's suspicions became more familiar with each other year, so they had to be taller among us shorts."

Lu Yanbing trembled and said, "Since Senior Brother sees it so clearly, why do you want to come back?"

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Whether it's Yan Feiqing or Su Yun'an, or Zhang Luanshan, palace officials and others, they are vying to come to me to make friends and see what they are thinking. I can roughly guess 70% of it. I don't mind it, because if it were me, I would do the same. As for why I came back, Junior Sister, do you remember what I told you just now, what I admire most about Zhang Xiang?"

Lu Yanbing murmured, "Even if there are thousands of people, I will go."

Li Xuandu sighed lightly, "I am not Zhang I can't be a moral gentleman, so sometimes I can't help but act in an upright manner. This is probably because my nature is hard to change. But in my heart, I still want to do upright things and be an upright person, so I chose to come back this time. "

Lu Yanbing shook his head and said, "Brother, you asked me about the situation in the sect before, so I can tell you now that your return this time may not be what the old man is happy to see."

Li Xuandu tapped the bamboo stick on the fourth vertical line and sighed, "Six gentlemen, there is only one position for the leader of the sect. After more than ten years of open and secret struggles, there will be a time to end and everyone will go their separate ways. "
