Chapter 116: A Gentleman Is Not a Tool

Qiniang said dissatisfied: "Are you used to giving orders outside? How can you talk to me?"

Qi Xuansu could only change his tone: "Dear Qiniang, Xuansu has two things to ask of you."

"That's pretty much it." Qiniang said with satisfaction, "Let's talk."

Qi Xuansu said: "When I get married, will you go or not? You didn't go to the apprenticeship ceremony last time. You can't go this time, right?"

Qiniang actually had a plan for a long time, that is, not to go, but she still had to pretend: "Otherwise... let's forget it. On that day, nearly half of the Taoist sect's senior officials will go to congratulate me. Although I am also a Taoist sect person." , but half black and half white is not suitable for public appearances and has a bad influence.”

Qi Xuansu had already guessed what Qiniang would say: "Qiniang, please pay homage to Gaotang. You are the protagonist here. This is your only chance in your life. If you miss it, there will be no next time. Don't regret it."

Qiniang raised her eyebrows: "I never regret anything I do."

If Tantai Qiong saw this scene, she would probably sigh, you and Zhang Yuelu are mother and daughter, right?

Qi Xuansu said: "Qiniang, you'd better come, just think it's for me."

"Forget it, I'm still not going." Others' half-nudging was a sign of reluctance, while Qiniang's half-nudging showed that she had made up her mind.

Qi Xuansu couldn't say he was disappointed, after all, it was expected: "Well, if you don't go, I will find Master Cihang to take your place."

"Su Zhisheng?" Qiniang raised her eyebrows, as if she wanted to say something, but held back, "It's up to you."

Qi Xuansu said: "The second thing is that I met a man named Zhong Boyu. He used to be a member of the Eight Tribes and Bai Yutang. Now he has been expelled. It was he who got the piece of Xuan from the bank of Cuo Wenbu. Yu', do you still have an impression?"

Qiniang remembered: "I remember that incident. You want to use this person, but you are afraid that it is set up by others, so you want me to help you check it out, right?"

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "That's right. Aren't you a senior member of the Eight Tribes? It's more convenient."

Qiniang did not refuse: "I will give you an answer in a few days."

Qi Niang is more experienced in how to check specifically, so there is no need for Qi Xuansu to direct and explain.

After finishing the conversation with Qiniang, Qi Xuansu planned to read the book sent by Zhang Wuyue. After reading only a few pages, Tantai Ying came again.

"Is there any result?" Qi Xuansu raised his head.

Tantai Ying sat opposite Qi Xuansu: "All the people who secretly performed blood sacrifices in the city have been arrested. We can conduct a public trial according to our original plan."

Qi Xuansu urged: "Okay, the trial must be clear, the sentence must be clear, the killing must be dignified, and don't engage in secret executions. It must serve as a warning."

Tantai Ying nodded to take note of it, and then said: "On the insect side, capture one alive and kill one."

Qi Xuansu said: "Strict interrogation, I want to know the exact location of Lanyun Sect. You can flexibly control the specific methods to be used. After all, you are an insect man, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it."

"We have already started the interrogation." Tantai Ying finally said, "Utu and Hu En'ahan intercepted the defecting high priest of the Sun Temple, but they were not able to capture him alive. At that time, there was only a river across the northern continent. In order to To ensure that nothing went wrong, and fearing that something might change if it was too late, they decided to kill the high priest and brought back the Sword of the Sun."

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "My opinion is that giving the Sword of the Sun to Ixichel should be regarded as a gift to celebrate her ascension to the throne of God King. What do you think?"

"I have no objection." Tantai Ying is not an immortal inheritance. The entire Xidaomen is mainly based on human immortal inheritance and earth immortal inheritance. This kind of immortal thing has no great effect. It is better to go with the flow and do it as a favor.

Qi Xuansu said: "That's it. By the way, when I get married, I hope Master Tantai can come to Yujing."

Tantai Ying was startled, then smiled and said: "Definitely."

Qi Xuansu said: "The specific time has not been decided yet. Once it is decided, I will formally send the invitation."

Tantai Ying withdrew, and Qi Xuansu continued to look through the thick file.

At this point, Qi Xuansu has begun to prepare to "end" his trip to the Southern Continent. The main tasks of the Dao Sect have been completed and the unstable factors have been eliminated. The next step of construction and development is Huangfu Ji's business. Qi Xuansu placed Zhang Wuyue here. In terms of the royal family, Qi Xuansu left behind Huangfu Xi.

The two things Qi Xuansu wanted to do, abolish the blood sacrifice and eliminate the insect people, were now on the right track. By the time these two things were initially completed, it was almost time for Qi Xuansu to return to the Central Plains.

Therefore, Qi Xuansu's main focus is still on solving these two problems and striving for a perfect "end".

This is just the beginning. The key to the blood sacrifice issue depends on the determination of the ancient gods. The key to the insect man issue is to eradicate the insect man's stronghold, which is the Blue Cloud Sect.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

During this period of time, Qi Xuansu did a lot of things. He first read the file sent by Zhang Wuyue, revised a few places, and then gave it to Zhang Wuyue and told him that he could execute it.

Of course Qi Xuansu didn't understand this before, but people can be trained.

Many people will find that the founding emperors, generals and ministers of the past dynasties usually came from the same place, or even the same county.

History has repeatedly proved one thing, as long as given the opportunity, outstanding talents in a county can assemble a core team of the imperial court. The most scarce thing is Bole, that is, the person who discovers these people and leads them, is what Qianlima often has. , Bole does not often have it.

In the present, even if there is a rare talent, with such a large territory and population, there are still a lot of talents under the huge base of Daomen. There is never a lack of talents, but there is a lack of opportunities to practice and display.

For example, Xu Kou was originally an ordinary Qingluan Guard, and his life was like this. By chance, he met Qingwei Zhenren and was promoted. Later, he met Zhang Yuelu and was promoted step by step. It should be no problem for him to get the title of Zhenren in this life. In the past, Xu Kou could not make a name for himself. Was it because of lack of ability? It was because of lack of opportunity.

Qi Xuansu himself is also an example. Qi Niang gave him this opportunity, so he could practice and display. Things that he didn't know before could be slowly learned during the practice, and then he could show his skills. But what if Qi Niang didn't give him this opportunity? He would spend his life in mediocrity, and no one would think he was a talent.

Qi Xuansu didn't know about these economic and trade things at first, but when he got the chance, he first went to the upper palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace for further study, and then practiced in Borneo Daofu, so he naturally understood.

Talents are cultivated, and no one can rule the world at birth. The key is to grow through experience.

However, different experiences also have different growth directions.

The sage of Confucianism said that a gentleman is not a tool.

What is a "tool"? Professional talents who specialize in a certain field are tools that can only be used, but cannot command the overall situation. A gentleman is not a tool, which means that a leader must be a comprehensive talent, not just proficient in a certain field. The Taoist school explains it as "useless use".

This is the direction of Qi Xuansu's training. Donghua Zhenren never let him specialize in a certain field, but constantly involved in different fields without seeking to understand it. From the grassroots to the battlefield, from the battlefield to fighting tigers, to the economy, and even to the current foreign affairs and ghost affairs, the next Wanxiang Dao Palace is inclined to the education and empty talk, and then sent to the local Daofu to be the master of a prefecture, which is to take charge of the overall situation. A Daofu can be regarded as a reduced Daomen, which is equivalent to a pre-drill.

This is essentially a gentleman is not a tool.

From here, it can be seen that the training direction of Qi Xuansu is to go to the highest position, which can also be called a perfect resume. Except for some special cases, if you want to be a big head teacher, your resume must be comprehensive and there must be no obvious deficiencies. For example, being a teacher in the Dao Palace for a lifetime, or always in the Nine Halls, without a resume of governing a party, this is not acceptable.

So the promotion routes of Qi Xuansu and others are similar. They all jump back and forth between Yujing and the local areas. Each time they jump, they rise a level and get involved in different fields. Others are not like this. Some people have been in the local Daofu all their lives, and some people have been in a certain hall all their lives. It cannot be generalized.

On the other side, Qi Niang also gave a reply. Zhong Boyu has no problem and is not a pawn of anyone. However, after Qi Xuansu reused Zhong Boyu, it was hard to say whether his old relationships would come to him. Qi Xuansu needed to pay special attention to this.

After Qi Xuansu thanked Qi Niang, he called Zhang Wuyue and told him that he could use Zhong Boyu. He also reminded Zhang Wuyue to pay more attention to Zhong Boyu's previous interpersonal relationships.

Zhang Wuyue agreed immediately.

These were all trivial matters. Jiang Dazhenren contacted Qi Xuansu and informed Qi Xuansu of a temporary resolution, which was to grant Yixiqier the same grade of innocent Taoist origin.

In theory, only the Grand Master has the power to grant the same grade of Taoist origin, but things can always be flexible. The rotating Grand Master is actually the rotating Grand Master. Although he lacks some key powers, he still has this power.

Because it is necessary to show solemnity, the Taoist sect considers that Tan Tai Zhenxiao will represent the Taoist sect to announce this decision and hold relevant ceremonies, and Qi Xuansu, the plenipotentiary envoy, will also attend.

Don't underestimate the origin of the same grade of innocent Taoist priests. The first grade of innocent Taoist priests in the Taoist sect is still very precious. The lowest is the retired old assistant Taoist priest, and the same grade of innocent Taoist priests enjoy the treatment of Pingzhang Da Zhenren, which is higher than the white board Da Zhenren. ..

Now it seems that Yixiqier has also gotten what he wanted.

Qi Xuansu took out a day to participate in the second "coronation" of the Moon Queen. The venue was chosen in the Kingdom of God in Itsamna. There were many people participating. Gong Fu, Huangfu Zhao, Huangfu Ji and others all attended. Qi Xuansu, the full-power envoy, represented the Taoist sect. The ancient gods and the voters also arrived. The scene was very grand.

Yixiqier was very happy. She changed into the clothes of the Da Zhenren and bowed her head slightly. Tan Tai Zhenxiao, on behalf of the Taoist sect, put on the purple gold lotus crown for her, indicating that she was one step closer to her goal.

However, a difficult problem was also placed in front of her. Once she entered the game of the Taoist sect, she had to stand on the side. If you choose the right person and reward according to merit, you will naturally achieve what you want. But if the wrong person is chosen, it is hard to say.

The Daoist sect now grants Ishichel the same level of innocent Taoist origin, rather than waiting until the Grand Master is selected and then granted by the Seventh Grand Master, which has a profound intention.
