Taiping Inn

Of course, Zhang Haishi came here not to make up for half of the hexagram, but for other reasons.

Since Li Daoxu took the initiative to point out the topic, he did not hide it and said, "Master, I have something to do when I come here this time, and I will ask Master to decide."

Li Daoxu sat back on the platform, placed his hands on his knees, and said simply, "Say."

Zhang Haishi no longer called "Master", but changed to "Old Sect Master", and said, "The old Sect Master asked several junior brothers to take charge of each of them to train them. At that time, the third junior brother Li Yuanying successively served as the Lord of Ren Tianwei Hall and the Lord of Tiangang Hall. Now he is old The sect leader retreated to Penglai Island, and the third junior brother inherited the sect leader's throne. He was the legitimate sect leader and still personally took charge of Tiangang Hall. According to the thirty-eight sect rules that the old sect leader had added when he retreated to the sect leader's position, the sect leader should no longer serve as a part-time position. For other positions, this unwritten rule that the Sect Master personally takes charge of Tiangang Hall will no longer apply.”

Li Daoxu spoke slowly: "I forgot if you don't say it. Now Li Yuanying still has the position of the Lord of Tiangang Hall. The Lord of Tianwei Hall was originally the Lord of Li Rushi, but later Li Rushi was Sent to Kuye Island, the seat of the Lord of Tianwei Hall was suspended, and Li Yuanying also took care of it."

Zhang Haishi interrogated: "At that time, Emperor Wuzong proclaimed himself a general and became a laughing stock in later generations. Taking history as a lesson, we can know the rise and fall. Now the sect leader also serves as the leader of the two halls of Tiangang and Tianwei, which is very inappropriate."

"It's reasonable." Li Daoxu nodded and said, "I wonder what Mr. Second means?"

Zhang Haishi said: "Others should be chosen as the Lord of Tiangang Hall and the Lord of Tianwei Hall."

"Can anyone choose?" Li Daoxu paused for a moment before speaking.

The years of tacit understanding between the master and the apprentice made both of them know that the next conversation is the real key, and the content of the speech can also be guessed.

As expected, Zhang Haishi said: "Five years have passed since the second year of Tianbao, and the Zifu has been silent for five years. As a punishment, I think it's almost done. After all, he can't be blamed for the incident that year. The Twelve Sects of Righteous Way , Twelve sects and twelve sect leaders, it would be too unreasonable to put all the blame on him alone. "

Li Daoxu said calmly: "It is precisely because he can't be blamed alone, that I just seized his authority, retained the title of Mr. Fourth for him, and allowed him to enjoy the treatment of the sect leader in certain matters. It's enough tolerate."

Zhang Haishi said: "It is no great thing to know that you can correct your mistakes. The old sect leader should not completely deny the Zi Mansion just because of one thing."

Looking at the entire Qingwei Sect, Zhang Haishi was the only person who dared to say "not to respond" to Li Daoxu. Even Li Yuanying, who had already become the sect leader, did not dare.

Li Daoxu said disapprovingly: "Of course I won't completely deny the Zi Mansion because of this matter. What do you mean?"

Zhang Haishi said: "Our Qingwei Sect is a sect in Jianghu after all. If you want to gain a foothold in the sect, it depends on your realm of cultivation. A few years ago, the realm of Zifu fell. If he came out rashly, he was afraid that it would be. It will cause criticism. Now he has returned to the true realm. Even if there is still a slight difference from his peak back then, it is not comparable to ordinary people. In my opinion, he should come out and do something for the sect, even if it is Suppose your merits.”

"I understand." Li Daoxu asked directly without any thoughts: "Then do you think it is appropriate to let him be the Lord of the Ntianwei Hall? Or is it appropriate to be the Lord of the Ntiangang Hall?"

Zhang Haishi said for granted: "Tiangang Hall ranks second among the thirty-six halls, second only to Tiankui Hall, and is responsible for the precepts within the sect. Zifu is a straightforward and upright person, but he is the most yang and strong person, so he was asked to be Ren Tiangang. The Lord is the most suitable.”

Li Daoxu did not directly refute, but said: "Tiangang Hall is in charge of precepts and punishments, and it is of great importance, so it should not be careless. Zifu has been idle for five years, and many things are inevitable. Moreover, Tiangang Hall is mostly Mingxin's old subordinates, Zifu and Ming. If the heart is not harmonious, if the Zi Mansion directly comes to the head of Tiangang Hall and cannot convince the public, and something goes wrong, it will be difficult to save it."

The two looked at each other calmly.

After a moment of this, Zhang Haishi lowered his head and said, "I wonder what the old sect leader means?"

Li Daoxu said, "Tianwei Hall, the previous owner of Tianwei Hall was Li Rushi, and most of them were his subordinates. Li Rushi was a loyal fan of Zifu back then, so now he let Zifu go to Tian. The master of Weitang is easy to convince the public and things are easier to do. Moreover, Mingxin, back then, became the master of Tianwei Hall first, and then was promoted to the master of Tiangang Hall, and there is a rule to follow."

Zhang Haishi said with retreat: "I am here today not just for the Zi Mansion, but for the two hall masters. If the old sect leader intends to let the Zi Mansion become the Lord of Ren Tianwei Hall, then who will do it? Become the leader of Tiangang Hall?”

Li Dao looked at Zhang Haishi in a vacuum and slowly spit out three words: "Gu Yusheng."

"Old Sect Master!" Zhang Haishi suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Daoxu, and said word by word: "I think it's inappropriate to choose this person."

Li Daoxu's face slightly darkened.

Zhang Haishi continued to express his tone: "A man from the outer sect, how can she be the leader of Tiangang Hall? Just because she is the wife of the sect leader? I'm afraid the sect rules are not in line with each other."

The atmosphere in the monastery completely solidified.

Li Daoxu pondered for a moment: "After all, Mingxin is the sect leader now, and the positions of the two sect masters are also on him. This matter should be discussed when he comes back."

Zhang Haishi said: "The sect leader is the person involved. According to the sect rules set by the old sect leader when he retreated from the sect leader's position, he should avoid it. The old sect leader will perform the sect leader's power and do the full authority of the matter."

A cold light flashed through Li Daoxu's eyes, and he said in silence for a while: "Then let's decide the candidate for the master of Tianwei Hall first. The deputy master of Tiangang Hall will temporarily take charge of the duties of the master. As for the specific candidate for the master, let's go back to the next step. Discuss.”

Zhang Haishi knew very well that the deputy hall master was responsible for the functions of Tiangang Hall, which was equivalent to Tiangang Hall being under the control of Li Yuanying. However, he had no idea of ​​snatching this crucial hall directly, which was tantamount to cutting off one of Li Yuanying's arms. He had to make Li Yuanying fight to the death, and the old sect leader would not agree, so his goal was always It's Tianweitang.

Tianweitang said in the Thirty-Six Halls that it is high or low, but it is quite important and is responsible for shipping. There are three halls in Qingwei Clan responsible for shipping, namely Tianwei Hall, Tianyou Hall and Tianjie Hall. Tianyou Hall is responsible for shipping in the East China Sea, Tianjie Hall is responsible for shipping in the South China Sea, and Tianwei Hall is originally responsible for affairs in Qizhou, because Wu In the ninth year of De, Li Xuandu proposed the proposal to open up Liaodong trade routes, and was changed to be responsible for the development of Beihai shipping in the eleventh year of Wude.

The owner of Tianjietang is Zhang Haishi's confidant. This is how Zhang Haishi arranged for Lu Shixing to be responsible for the freight of Cihang Sect. The master of Tianyou Hall is the old sect leader and does not obey anyone.

Zhang Haishi has many ears and ears in Qingweizong and Qizhou, so he naturally knew about Li Xuandu and Qin Su. He planned to hand over Tianweitang to Li Xuandu, which was just enough to use Qin Su's relationship to connect Beihai. Lianbu Tian Sect, with such a merit that no one can take away, Li Xuandu is just around the corner. As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike collapses into an ant hole. As long as a gap is opened, everything that follows will be easy to do.

The reason why he has been making great efforts in recent years is that he is unwilling to let the Qingwei Sect fall into the hands of the third brother. Now, the Qingwei Sect must let people like the fourth brother be rectified.

Since the goal has been achieved, Zhang Suqing no longer pressed too much and took a step back: "Since the old sect leader said that, he had to do so."

Li Daoxu's face relaxed a little, "Is there anything else? If not, just step down."

Zhang Haishi said, "The Purple Mansion will be able to return to the sect soon. He will come to pay homage to the old sect leader at that time. Why not let the old sect leader announce the matter personally? I wonder what the old sect idea is?"

If this matter is announced by the old sect leader Li Daoxu, then no matter whether it is Li Yuanying or Gu Yusheng, no one can object. No one dares to cause trouble in this matter in the future. Li Daoxu understands in his heart that this is Zhang Haishi I can't rest assured that I have to make this matter a foregone conclusion.

Li Daoxu closed his eyes, his tone revealed a little displeasure: "Okay. Is there any more?"

Zhang Haishi bowed and said, "Disciple farewell to Master."

Li Daoxu did not answer, closed his eyes and began to enter into meditation. Zhang Haishi stood up straight and slowly withdrew from here.

After Zhang Haishi's footsteps gradually faded away, Li Daoxu opened his eyes, slowly raised his head, and looked at the divine position of the Sanqing Patriarch and the Taishang Daozu.
