Chapter 56: A Helpless Move

Qi Xuansu finally decided to postpone the implementation. The so-called good governance often offends those with vested interests, and those with vested interests are often those in power.

If it could be done with just one sentence, then there was no need for Qi Xuansu to ask Huangfu Xi for his opinion, and he could just give the order directly. Precisely because Qi Xuansu knew the difficulties involved, he did not force anything and just followed the rules.

This made Huangfu Xi breathe a sigh of relief. She had just come to power and her position was unstable. If she rashly implemented this kind of law, the ancient gods might not dare to directly target Qi Xuansu who was behind the scenes, but they would definitely dare to target the person who was doing the work. In the end, she would be the unlucky one.

The rebellion of Queen Unuratu has come to an end. Ixichel personally came forward. Qi Xuansu was forced to reach a compromise under pressure, so Qi Xuansu will not pursue the affairs of Wutu, Heron Club, and Insect Man for the time being. They all say that they will settle the score in the future. , now is not the time to settle accounts. Qi Xuansu did not officially abolish Unurathu's title of queen, but put it aside. If Unuratu is to be deposed, she must be convicted. If he is convicted, there will be a decision on how to deal with it, which will not make it easy to keep Unuratu.

So Qi Xuansu had no choice but to let Unuratu get sick too, and one of them went to the Sun Temple to recuperate, and the other to the Full Moon Temple to recuperate.

Qi Xuansu's big move in Xinpaititi quickly spread back to Yujing. Regardless of whether the many voices in Yujing praised Qi Xuansu or criticized Qi Xuansu, the impact is here, and it is inevitable to talk about Qi Xuansu. For a while, although Qi Xuansu was not in Yujing, he was in the limelight.

From the Taoist Three Shows plus Qi Xuansu, to the Taoist Four Shows, and now Qi Xuansu alone beats the Taoist Three Shows, this journey is really amazing.

Now it seems that Qi Xuansu is becoming more and more impressive.

However, Daomen Sanxiu was not idle either.

Zhang Yuelu will not talk about it. Her humiliating defeat in Borneo has become the biggest topic before Qi Xuansu overthrew the Tawanting royal family. Tang Dazhen, who has always been straight-tempered, said bluntly: "This is all nonsense. .

Due to the intervention of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Yuelu is currently thanking guests behind closed doors and is very low-key. Comparing Qi Xuansu's high-profile, some people have begun to boldly conclude that Zhang Yuelu should just settle down and be the wife of the Grand Master, and stop competing for the position of Grand Master. If the couple joins forces, they will definitely win over the other two who fight alone.

Zhang Yuelu turned a deaf ear to these remarks and began to seriously consolidate his realm and cultivation just as the Heavenly Master had told him. The Heavenly Master set a goal for her. Without relying on external forces, without being greedy for merit and making rash progress, and by working steadily and steadily, she could reach the realm of pseudo-immortal before the age of forty. This is not too much. The founder of Xidaomen, Tantai Yun, was already an immortal at this age.

However, those old people did not dare to add insult to injury. After all, the Celestial Master had personally come forward, and an old man had already received a heavy blow from the Celestial Master.

On the other side, Li Changge entered rapid promotion mode. Li Changge first served as the second deputy palace master of Fenglinzhou Taoist Palace, and then was transferred to the Imperial Capital Daofu Palace as the chief deputy palace master. Zhou Jiaoxian, the former chief deputy head of the Imperial Palace, was transferred to the Luosuozhou Taoist House as the chief deputy head, working with Ye Qingshuang.

From an ordinary person's perspective, the position of Chief Deputy Palace Master of the Imperial Palace is somewhat useless, because the real power of this Taoist Palace is too small. First of all, it has the Daxuan Imperial Court on its head, and other Taoist Palaces suppress the local court. , for example, the Taoist government in Borneo disposes the heads of various small countries at will, but here it is the other way around, the Taoist government depends on the court's face.

Then there is the powerful Qizhou Daofu next to it. For the sake of the Inland Sea, they took away the Bohai Palace. It is nominally in charge of it. Could it be that the Imperial Capital Daofu can’t take care of it? The Imperial Palace on the left cannot control the Imperial Palace, and the Bohai Palace on the right is lost, just like a living person losing two waists.

Being the chief deputy palace master in this place does not have much real power. For you real people, it is half a place of exile. For example, people like Shi Bingyun who made mistakes and had no hope of career were assigned to this place.

The last time Qi Xuansu came here, it was mainly because of the matter at Wuxing Mountain, and it was on secondment, so it cannot be generalized. .bμν.

But for Li Changge, these are not problems.

First of all, the Li family has a close relationship with the royal family. Li Changge is preparing to marry the princess, and there is no pressure from the court. Secondly, Qizhou Daofu also belongs to the Li family. Even if Li Changge insists on taking charge of Bohai Palace’s affairs, Qizhou Dao

Not only would the government not say anything, but they would help Li Changge explain that it was only the Qizhou Dafu that was in charge, and it was reasonable for the chief deputy master of the Imperial Capital Dafu to want to ask. Of course, it is limited to this specific chief deputy palace master.

Furthermore, Li Ruoshui, the real person in charge of the Imperial Palace, is also a member of the Li family and will definitely not embarrass Li Changge. Finally, the Li family arranged for Li Changge to serve as the chief deputy head of the Imperial Palace, not because of the power, but to solve the problem of rank. Regardless of whether the power of the Imperial Palace is large or small, in terms of rank, there is no difference between the chief deputy master of the Imperial Palace and the chief deputy master of the Borneo Palace, and both can be promoted to the chief deputy master of the Third Hall.

Some people stop at the level of Chief Deputy Palace Master in this life, so they attach great importance to their power. But for people like Li Changge who aspire to be a great leader, they are just steps. These are all details. The key is that the rhythm of promotion cannot be messed up.

In fact, the Li family has accelerated the pace. Li Changge should not have been promoted to the chief deputy palace master so quickly, nor should he have become the chief deputy palace master of the Imperial Palace, because it is difficult to achieve results in the Imperial Palace. But Qi Xuansu's rapid progress forced the Li family to no longer stick to the routine.

Of course, there are side effects to doing this. Although Li Changge barely keeps up with Qi Xuansu's pace, there will be a big difference in their resumes. When Qi Xuansu was the chief deputy palace master, he took down Wang Jiaohe, Sun Heyu, Chen Shuhua, and many high-level officials of the Borneo Daofu, cleansing the muddy water and clearing the clouds. Later, he reorganized the Nanyang United Trading Company, presided over foreign arms sales, completed the task of Jinque, stabilized the finances of the Daomen, and also performed well in resisting wind disasters and other people's livelihood. He can be said to be both civil and military.

What can Li Changge do in the Imperial Capital Daofu? Is it to take down Li Ruoshui and Shi Bingyun? Or are the ancient immortals making trouble under the nose of the Great Xuan Emperor? His resume must be unremarkable.

In the future, when Qi Xuansu and Li Changge confront each other, this will become Li Changge's disadvantage.

Qi Xuansu also said that when I was in Fenglinzhou, I was the first in the eighth generation of disciples in terms of military exploits. I went deep into the enemy's territory alone to recruit Linglushan. You were under investigation at that time. When I was the chief deputy master, I reorganized Borneo and stabilized the situation single-handedly until Jiang Da Zhenren came. Later, I reorganized the Nanyang United Trading Company and developed trade. I was both civil and military. At that time, you were doing nothing in the Imperial Capital Daofu. When I was the chief deputy master of Beichen Hall, I traveled across the New World, attacked the steam gospel from the outside, and suppressed the reactionary ancient gods from the inside. Even if you became the chief deputy master of Beichen Hall, you would still be eating my leftovers. What can you compare with me except that you are born better than me?

This is impossible to compare. So Li Changge was promoted quickly at this time, which seemed very cool, but in fact it left a huge hidden danger, which would be backfired in the future.

The Li family knew this, but there was nothing they could do. If they wanted to avoid hidden dangers and let Li Changge slowly advance, the result would probably be that Qi Xuansu would become the master of the house, and Li Changge might still be in the position of the chief deputy master. Maybe Qi Xuansu would become Li Changge's boss, which was even more impossible to compare.

After Li Changge took office as the chief deputy palace master of the Imperial Capital Daofu, he did not stay in the Imperial Capital often. There was the Great Xuan Court, a real person in charge of the palace and a second deputy palace master. How could there be so many things to deal with? Could it be that he would rectify the atmosphere when there was nothing to do?

Whether Li Changge was in the Imperial Capital or not, it did not have much impact.

Of course, Li Changge was not idle either. Like Zhang Yuelu, he needed to improve his realm.

This was also Li Changge's only way to break the deadlock. If his resume was not enough, he would make up for it with realm. However, both of them had the "Heart of the Immortal Stone". Under normal circumstances, the gap could not be widened at all, which required some other external forces.

So Li Changge went to Qingqiu Mountain.

There have always been rumors that there is a fox fairy in Qingqiu Mountain.

Because it is a hundred times more difficult for monsters to cultivate than humans, and there will be a small heavenly tribulation when they enter the immortal stage, so their hundred-year period is not counted from the day of birth, but similar to the situation of a one-tribulation immortal, counting from the entry into the immortal stage, plus the previous life span, so there are often monsters that exist for hundreds of years.

The leader of the fox tribe of Qingqiu Mountain is usually a woman, also known as the mistress.

Every New Year's Eve of the Wuxu year is a grand event for the fox tribe of Qingqiu Mountain.

In the Ganzhi calendar, the 35th year of a cycle is called the "Wuxu year".

There is a cycle every 60 years, which means there is only one Wuxu year in a Jiazi period. If you miss it, you have to wait for another Jiazi period.

This year happens to be the Wuxu year, and Li Changge was invited to participate in this grand event.

When Qingwei Zhenren participated in the grand event last time, he was still a child. In the blink of an eye, Qingwei Zhenren is also a sixty-year-old man. Qingwei Zhenren did not participate this time because there is no need.

The so-called grand event is actually the selection of guest officials. The human race is the primate of all things in the world, the protagonist of the world, and even the dragon race and other divine beasts cannot compete with the human race. Therefore, Qingqiu Mountain has long had the practice of inviting the human race to serve as guest officials. Donghuang once served as a guest official of Qingqiu Mountain.

Every time they select a guest official, the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan will choose the most outstanding woman to practice dual cultivation with the guest official through the "Qingyu Pearl". During this period, both parties will make great progress in their cultivation. At the same time, both parties will fall in love with each other and form a bond of love. Finally, if they can cut off the bond of love, they will pass the emotional barrier and hope to enter the stage of immortality..qgν.

As for how to cut off the bond of love, it is to kill the person you love and absorb his cultivation, or be killed by the person you love and give him the cultivation. In short, the two people will achieve each other, and only one person can be left.

Later, Donghuang abolished this system, no longer cutting the bond of love, and no longer practicing dual cultivation, turning it into a simple ritual.
