Chapter 46: Three-Person Meeting

In addition to the palace master's meeting and the Tao government's general meeting, each local government has a smaller meeting. Regardless of the special situation of the master in charge, only three people participate, namely the master, the chief deputy master, and the second deputy. The master of the palace is also known as the three-person meeting.

Although the three-person meeting is not a formal decision-making body and cannot decide major issues, but before the official meeting of the head of the palace, the real person in charge convenes the two deputies to communicate and exchange opinions in advance to determine the topic and direction of the discussion, but in fact, as long as this is The three of them reached an agreement, and whether it was a palace master's meeting or a Taoist government meeting, it would usually pass smoothly.

This is also the reason why the first-level spiritual officials are counting on Qi Xuansu. Except for wartime situations, the spiritual officers only have a say in the three-level discussions within the Taoist government. They have no way to directly participate in the other two levels of discussions.

The second deputy palace master is different. All three levels of discussions have the right to speak. Back in Jiangnan Daofu, Li Tianlan was also the second deputy palace master, which can be said to have changed everything. Therefore, whether there is an attributive in front of the deputy palace master makes a huge difference.

The real person in charge of the government, Wang Jiaohe, held a three-person meeting on whether to hold a Taoist meeting.

Only three people participated. The three chairs were distributed in the shape of "pin". Wang Jiaohe sat in the top position with the word "kou", facing south and back to north. Chen Shuhua and Qi Xuansu sat on the left and right, facing each other.

Wang Jiaohe was the first to speak: "The occurrence of such a big event is beyond our expectation. Fortunately, the impact is not big."

Qi Xuansu glanced at Chen Shuhua and said, "I'm afraid it will take Master Lan Da to make this judgment as to whether the impact is big or not. After all, he is the person involved."

Wang Jiaohe looked at Qi Xuansu: "Qi Cixi means..."

Qi Xuansu said: "The matter is of great importance, and Master Landa is not here. I think we should report the situation to Jinque immediately and request Jinque's support. I can draft a specific official letter on my behalf, and finally the master will take the lead in reporting."

Qi Xuansu was not willing to report to Jinque, but he could use "reporting to Jinque" as an excuse to force Wang and Chen to compromise.

Chen Shuhua had to speak: "It's not that serious, right? Except for the retreat of Master Landa, there was no damage. Even Master Landa, as Qi Cixi said, only suffered a slight injury and will be fine soon. If we just report it to Jinque after leaving the customs, others should say that we are making a fuss out of a molehill."

Chen Shuhua is using Qi Xuansu's words to silence Qi Xuansu. You said it yourself. The injury to Master Lan Da was not serious, but I didn't say that. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Qi Xuansu said: "It's just that the ancient immortal came to the world. Without causing huge losses, it's really not easy to make a fuss about it. But in this ancient immortal's advent, there is another point involved, and that is the leakage of Nanlong's dragon energy. The question is, this is not a trivial matter, should it be reported to Jinque?”

Chen Shuhua's face became solemn: "Where does the issue of dragon energy leakage begin?"

Qi Xuansu said unhurriedly: "An ancient immortal needs a container to come into the world. Ordinary containers can only display the strength of pseudo-immortals, but why did this container display the strength of an immortal? Before the retreat, Master Lan Da once asked Xu Fuli said that because the container this time was made of Nanlong's dragon energy, it involved the leakage of dragon energy. At best, it was due to lax supervision, and at worst, it was someone secretly communicating with the ancient immortal. "

Wang Jiaohe closed his eyes and asked, "Does Qi Cixian have to report it to Jinque?"

Qi Xuansu said slowly: "The reason why I advocated reporting to Jinque is because there are various signs that there is an internal ghost in our Taoist palace, collaborating with the secret society inside and outside, and plotting against evil. The leakage of dragon energy is clear evidence. Qian Xiang, deputy master of the Imperial Palace Taoist Palace Yun's defection is a lesson learned from the past, so it is best to report it to Jinque."

At this point, Qi Xuansu paused and changed the topic: "But then again, family scandals should not be made public. Our Taoist government is a collective. If something like this happens, it will cause uproar in the city and let other Taoist governments see our It’s a joke, no one looks good. It’s best to solve the problem internally. If you can’t report it to Jin Que, you can only hold a Taoist meeting. After all, there is only one mole in front of everyone. It is difficult to confuse the public, let alone influence the opinions of the majority of people. Most people have sharp eyes, do you think this is true? "

Both Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua knew that Qi Xuansu's move had nothing to do with his sharp eyes. They were all rhetoric on the surface. Qi Xuansu's true intention was that he was alone in the palace master's discussions and was too passive. He must Only through expansion can we gain the initiative. Then he threatened to report to Jinque and forced them to compromise. This was a method.

Wang Jiaohe couldn't help but think that he had underestimated this young man. At such a young age, he was actually capable of such lightning-fast tactics. First he led troops into the city, forcibly took over the defense, and staged a trick of magic soldiers descending from the sky. Now he is moving around in order to advance. retreat.

Two words, awesome.

He is in a high position at a young age. In addition to his strong background, his methods are also quite good.

The future is bright.

No wonder the daughter of the Zhang family, who has a higher eye than anyone else, fell in love with him. The Zhang family did not object, and the Heavenly Master worked hard to facilitate this. In addition to the marriage between Zhengyiyi and Quanzhendao, such a son-in-law is indeed difficult to find even with a lantern. To be honest, Wang Danqing of my family did not lose unfairly.

At about the same age, people are making all kinds of noises here, scolding Fang Qiu. What is he, a madman, doing?

Thinking of this, Wang Jiaohe felt a surge of anger in his heart.

However, he had been the head of the palace for many years, and he was very good at cultivating his qi. He quickly suppressed his anger and said calmly: "The Grand Meeting of the Dao Mansion."

Qi Xuansu took out the official letter he had written from his sleeve: "This is the official letter I drafted to report to the Golden Palace."

Qi Xuansu put the official letter on the coffee table next to Wang Jiaohe.

Wang Jiaohe did not read it, but was silent for a while.

After a while, Chen Shuhua spoke: "Since Qi Cixi said so, if it is really for the good of the Dao Mansion, then hold a grand meeting of the Dao Mansion."

She looked at Wang Jiaohe again: "Zhangfu Zhenren, what do you think?"

Wang Jiaohe sighed lightly: "Okay, you go and arrange it." After that, he got up and left.

Under Qi Xuansu's repeated promotion, the Grand Meeting of the Dao Mansion was finally decided to be held.

As long as it is a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, whether it is the position of deputy palace master or not, it can participate, including spiritual officials and some high-grade Taoist priests who are in name only.

Because many people are not usually in Shenglong Mansion, it takes time to send out notices and wait for people to come.

During this time, Qi Xuansu took Lu Yuting and the people from Huashengtang to the palace of Dayu Kingdom in person.

The reason he gave was also very simple. As the second deputy lord of Borneo Daofu, he had to get to know the rulers of various countries. Among them, the ruler of Dayu Kingdom was the leader of all the rulers and was the closest. It was just right for him to visit the condition of the ruler of Dayu Kingdom. Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable.

This reason was reasonable and logical. Even if Donghua Zhenren came, it could not be said to be wrong.

Chen Shuhua's people naturally could not stop Qi Xuansu, so they could only let Qi Xuansu enter the palace smoothly.

Chen Jianchou and Ke Qingqing also followed Qi Xuansu.

On the way to the king's bedroom, Qi Xuansu suddenly asked: "Xu Zheng, I heard from Assistant Xu that you like Princess Fu Rui?"

Chen Jianchou's face instantly turned red: "No, no."

Qi Xuansu said: "It's not shameful. The key is to strive for excellence."

Chen Jianchou hesitated and said: "She... is..."

Qi Xuansu said: "I know who she belongs to, it's not a big problem."

Chen Jianchou was a little shocked.

The Purple Light Society is not a big problem? It is one of the three major secret societies.

For Qi Xuansu, it is really not a big problem. Not to mention that he can communicate with the Purple Light True Lord, Zhang Yuelu can mobilize the Purple Light Society's manpower. The legendary Zhang Yuelu is more powerful than him.

So Qi Xuansu feels that Chen Jianchou is very similar to himself. They both have a stepmother, and finding a Taoist partner is better than himself.

Chen Jianchou calmed down a little and said, "I'm not sure about this love. She may have used some tricks."

Qi Xuansu smiled lightly and said, "Without seeds, no matter how much water you pour or how much fertilizer you apply, it won't grow into a tree, let alone bloom. The tricks you mentioned are nothing more than magnifying certain emotions. Originally, it was just a slight affection, but it suddenly became a love until death. This is indeed too much."

Qi Xuansu asked Ke Qingqing again, "Where is this Princess Furui?"

Ke Qingqing replied, "She should be serving the king."

Qi Xuansu nodded, "It's a good opportunity to meet her together."

When they arrived at the bedroom, they didn't talk about the various decorations. The most eye-catching thing was a large bed with a gauze curtain. In addition to the eunuchs and imperial doctors standing by, Chen Jianqiu also stood by the bed.

After Qi Xuansu came in, the people in the bedroom saluted one after another.

Qi Xuansu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and came to the bed alone.

Chen Jianqiu came forward: "Second Master."

Qi Xuansu asked: "How is the King's condition?"

"Thanks to Second Master Qi, he is much better now." Chen Jianqiu said respectfully.

Qi Xuansu pulled the corner of his mouth: "What does it have to do with me."

Chen Jianqiu lowered his eyebrows and eyes, stretched out his hand to pull open the veil, revealing a haggard face.

He was less than sixty years old, but he was still a god. He aged so much that he looked like an old man. However, between his eyebrows and eyes, he could still vaguely see some similarities with Chen Jianqiu. This was the King of Dayu.

Chen Jianqiu leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Father, Qi Cixi from the Daofu is here to see you."

The King of Dayu slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were cloudy, and he actually had a bit of old eyesight. His lips moved slightly, and his voice was weak: "Thank you, Qi Cixi. I am really sick and weak, so I can't personally welcome Qi Cixi."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite. I just took office, and it is reasonable for me to come to visit you. It's just that I'm busy with worldly affairs, so I've been delaying it until now."

The King of Dayu coughed a few more times.

Qi Xuansu asked, "I heard that the king often dreams of the Blood-robed Bodhisattva. How is he now?"

The King of Dayu panted and said, "Thank you, Qi Cishi, for your concern. I am much better now. When I occasionally dream, there is only an empty blood lake. It seems that the Blood-robed Bodhisattva has been eliminated. This is all the credit of the Taoist Mansion."

Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "It's good that you are fine. But just in case, we still have to check it carefully."

Without Qi Xuansu's instructions, Lu Yuting and others had already brought the Taoist priests of Huashengtang to check on the King of Dayu.
