Chapter 40: Main Contradiction

After Li Tianlan was arrested, Zhang Jucheng personally accompanied the West Daomen delegation to visit the Jiangnan Daofu.

After a few days, the tour was almost over, and the West Daomen delegation was ready to go to the Qizhou Daofu, the last stop of this trip.

Qi Xuansu naturally had to accompany them, and then directly sailed from Qizhou and returned to the southern continent. But before that, Qi Xuansu had to deal with some tails.

One was Shi Luosi's matter.

After all, he was a representative of the Holy Court, and with this identity as a protection, although Qi Xuansu "invited" him back, he couldn't do anything to him.

Fortunately, there were few people who knew about it, and Qi Xuansu finally had a deep talk with him. Both sides had their own faults and took a step back. Qi Xuansu let Shi Luosi go back and did not pursue Shi Luosi's interference in the internal affairs of the Daofu. Shi Luosi did not report to the Holy See about his experience of being detained by the Daomen.

Just pretend that this incident had never happened.

In short, it was not over yet, and it was finally over.

The other was the treatment of Gu Ying.

It has to be said that this woman is very stubborn. Even though the Daofu has informed her about Li Tianlan, she still only sticks to one thing. She admits that she did the slander of Li Mingping, and it was all for her son. As for other things, she knows nothing about what Li Tianlan did and what crimes he committed.

I will enjoy the good life, and you will take the blame. She talks about everything and avoids the important issues.

This is probably her mentality.

Marry a man to get clothes and food.

This is such a simple truth. The predecessors have already said it clearly, but later people still can't figure it out, and always have some unrealistic extravagant demands.

I wonder what Li Tianlan will think after knowing it?

I guess he won't think much. He has already worn a green hat. Can he still expect Gu Ying to share the hardships with him?

However, Qi Xuansu did not let Gu Ying go easily, because Gu Ying had a lot of property under her name. These properties were asked by Gu Ying from Li Tianlan. For the so-called sense of security, Li Tianlan gave them.

Now Qi Xuansu wants Gu Ying to explain the origin of these properties. How can Gu Ying explain? She can only say that they were given by Li Tianlan.

This is a flaw.

You say you don't know, that's fine. Do you know how much a deputy deputy lord of the mansion can legally earn? You should know this, right?

The property under your name far exceeds the normal income of a deputy deputy lord of the mansion. xь.

If Li Tianlan took the initiative to give it, then wouldn't you be surprised where he got so much money?

If you took the initiative to ask for it, how do you know that Li Tianlan can come up with so much money?

You still say you don't know?

Gu Ying naturally couldn't explain that these huge properties that brought her a sense of security eventually became her death warrant.

Even if Gu Ying didn't admit it, Qi Xuansu still listed Gu Ying as an important participant in the Li Tianlan case. In addition to the false accusation case, the two crimes were punished together. When this great beauty came out, she might be gray-haired - if she still had that day.

After handling these two matters, Qi Xuansu and the Xidaomen delegation left Jiangnan Daofu and went to Qizhou Daofu.

Qizhou Daofu is different from Qizhou. The latter is just a state of the Great Xuan court, while the former is a behemoth that owns the inland sea and manages part of Silla. It is also the biggest trader of Fenglinzhou. Qingwei Zhenren personally went to Qizhou Daofu to preside over the meeting and has not left yet.

It seems that Qingwei Zhenren is waiting for Qi Xuansu to give an explanation or give Qi Xuansu a warning.

What can Qi Xuansu do? He can only bite the bullet and go.

The situation in Qizhou is more complicated. This is the hometown of the Supreme Saint and the Second Saint. The Sheji Academy, one of the three major palaces, is located here, and the Saint's residence is also here. Although the Confucian school has lost power, the Sheji Academy is the only one that has been preserved. The Wanxiang Academy and the Tianxin Academy have both been changed to Taoist palaces.

This made the Qizhou Daofu very dissatisfied. Why can the Jiangnan Daofu use the Tianxin Academy, but they can't use the Sheji Academy? But there is no way. This is what Xuansheng decided. A school should be reserved for Confucianism. Qizhou is the birthplace of Confucianism, so the school in Qizhou should be reserved.

Taiping Dao is known as Xuansheng's most loyal subordinate, so naturally it cannot oppose Xuansheng. In this way, where the Daofu center is located has become a problem. Qingling Palace and Zhenjing Villa are not suitable. First, they are located on Sanxian Island overseas, not on land, and transportation is inconvenient. Second, both belong to the highest cardinal of Taiping Dao, not the cardinal of Qizhou Daofu.

So Qizhou Daofu initially selected three candidate locations as the cardinal location of the Daofu, namely Taiqing Palace in Taiqing Mountain, Bixia Palace in Dongyue, and Taixu Palace in Qixia Mountain. Xiushu.com

Among them, Taiqing Mountain was once the mountain gate of the Donghua lineage. The "Donghua" of Donghua Zhenren came from this. This can also explain why the Pei family, a family in Lanling Prefecture, Qizhou, became a member of Quanzhen Dao, because they were very close to each other, and could even be said to be neighbors.

Later, the Donghua lineage moved away and went to Difei Mountain, and Taiqing Mountain was returned to Taiping Dao.

Taiqing Mountain stretches from Lanling Prefecture and Langya Prefecture to the coast of the East China Sea. The mountains and the sea are connected, and the mountains and the sea are beautiful. It faces Penglai Island, one of the Three Immortal Islands, across the sea.

The buildings on Taiqing Mountain are also divided into three parts, namely the Danxia Peak part located in Lanling Prefecture, the Juxian Peak part located in Langya Prefecture, and the Jinao Peak part facing the sea.

Among them, Juxian Peak was once the location of the ancestral hall of the Donghua lineage, similar to the ancestral home of many wealthy families. Although it is of extraordinary significance, it is not lived here, and it is still. Before moving to Difei Mountain, the core of the Donghua lineage had always been located on Jin'ao Peak by the sea, where Taiqing Palace was located.

Finally, the Qizhou Daofu chose Jin'ao Peak. First, it is very close to Penglai Island. Second, the scenery here is very beautiful. It is famous for its thousand-foot sword peaks, strange rocks and rocks, and sunrise over the sea. Standing on it, looking out at the distant sea outside the mountain, the sea is shrouded in a layer of light mist, which is faintly connected to the sea of ​​clouds hanging down in the sky. The sea and the sky are one color, magnificent and gorgeous, like a fairyland on earth. If it is spring and summer, sometimes there will be a mirage wonder. When you are lucky, you can vaguely see Penglai Island. It is more suitable as the face of the Daofu.

Jin'ao Peak is by the sea, and there is a port below. The huge stone disc that can float in the air is driven by the formation to go up and down with the peak. It is better to stand on the disc to see the scenery.

The "Sun Boat" of the Western Daomen Mission landed on the sea, and the shore was already full of important officials of the Qizhou Daofu.

The Daomen still gave a high-standard reception standard. Although Qingwei Zhenren did not show up, the head of the Qizhou Daofu personally came out.

This master of the mansion is naturally surnamed Li, and his name is Li Changlu. He is of the same generation as the national teacher Li Changgeng, Li Changsheng, Li Changge and others, and is the real elder of the Li family. Before this, he used to be the master of Beichen Hall, and later he was swapped with Qingwei Zhenren, barely retiring to the second line.

If Zhang Qihan had not occupied the position of Taiping Dao Pingzhang Da Zhenren, then Li Changlu should have been promoted from the position of master of Beichen Hall to Pingzhang Da Zhenren, instead of being demoted from master of the hall to master of the mansion. But this is not too bad, after all, Qizhou Daofu is a real Daofu, with high position and power, not much worse than Pingzhang Da Zhenren.

Such a Taoist elder, a disciple of six generations, has a different weight.

Huangfu Ji showed great respect for the elderly.

Although Huangfu Ji is willing to bet on Qi Xuansu, it does not mean that he wants to offend Taiping Dao. It is now widely rumored that Qi Xuansu will enter Jinque after finishing his term as the chief of Beichen Hall. He will first be the chief of Wanxiang Dao Palace to supplement his resume in terms of empty work, and then be the chief of a local Daofu, truly in charge of a region and a frontier official.

Because the age of all the Pingzhang Dazhenren is approaching, some of the several chiefs will be promoted to Pingzhang Dazhenren, naturally leaving a few positions vacant.

If Zhang Jucheng can be promoted to chief, then Qi Xuansu is likely to take over Zhang Jucheng's position and take charge of Jiangnan Daofu. If Zhang Jucheng does not move, and Qi Jiaozheng is promoted to chief, then Qi Xuansu will take over Qi Jiaozheng's position and take charge of Shuzhou Daofu.

It is unlikely that Qi Xuansu will take charge of Borneo Daofu. First, Yao Shu is not qualified enough. It is already an exception to skip the chief of Ziwei Hall and directly promote to the chief of the palace. There is no reason to make an exception twice. Second, the Dao sect will not let Qi Xuansu turn Borneo into its own back garden.

However, this does not mean that the Dao Sect does not trust Qi Xuansu. Whether it is the Jiangnan Daofu or the Shuzhou Daofu, they are both Daofu. Jinque's attitude of using Qi Xuansu is very obvious.

This is of course a good thing.

But who will take over Qi Xuansu's position? This is also a problem.

Most likely it will be someone from the Li family, and it is even very likely to be Li Changge. Even if it is not Li Changge, at most it will be a transitional candidate, and then it will be handed over to Li Changge.

So the relationship still needs to be good. At least some of Qi Xuansu's policies must be continued. If the next term completely denies Qi Xuansu and abolishes Qi Xuansu's established policies, wouldn't Huangfu Ji be in vain?

After the two sides exchanged polite greetings, Li Changlu introduced the high-level officials of the Daofu who came to greet him this time. Because the blockade of Fenglinzhou is a big project, the chief and the second are not there, only a few deputy palace masters. The Li family did not hide their absolute control over the Qizhou Daofu. Most of the deputy palace masters are surnamed Li, and the most impressive one is a deputy palace master named Li Tianba. xь.

When Qi Xuansu heard this name, he almost laughed.

This name is quite domineering.

Qi Xuansu has come into contact with quite a few people of the Li family with the character "Tian". Li Tianlan, Li Tiangang, Li Tianzhen, etc., are not as straightforward as Li Tianba.

However, the attitude of the Li family towards Qi Xuansu is very subtle. After all, Qi Xuansu has just sent Li Tianlan to prison. At the same time, there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. Gu Ying's slander of Li Mingping has also spread among the Li family's top leaders. Li Minghuang is an adopted son, and he has caused such a thing, harming Li Tianlan, a direct descendant. There are also many people who are angry with Li Minghuang. On the contrary, Qi Xuansu is not so annoying. After all, the most hateful thing is to stab someone in the back.

Qi Xuansu doesn't care about these. These Li family members can't do anything to him. Trick him into the Qizhou Daofu and kill him? It's not to the point of turning the table over now.

What makes Qi Xuansu headache is the summons of Qingwei Zhenren.

While Huangfu Ji and Li Changlu were being polite, Shen Yuqing appeared among the deputy palace masters and walked straight towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu knew he couldn't escape.
