Chapter 55 Taoist Council
When you walk into the earth palace, you will see a huge statue of the Taishang Taoist Ancestor, and write to the Great Saint Ancestor Gaoshang Dao Jinkou Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor.
Wang Jiaohe walked around the statue from the left, and Qi Xuansu walked around the statue from the right.
Two groups of people were like big waves, and the statues were like reefs in the middle, dividing the big waves into two halves.
After bypassing the "reef", it is combined into one. .??.
Because there are many people, the meeting place is chosen in the small auditorium instead of the meeting hall. The small auditorium is in the structure of "其", which means that the "其" is less than the horizontal line. The direction of one horizontal line is to enter and exit the door. A row of chairs facing the door and facing the south and back and north is the main seat, which is where the palace master and the deputy palace masters sit, and then there are two rows of chairs on the left and right, facing the main seat, and sitting opposite each other.
After everyone came to the small auditorium, the words "Master of the House" were hung on their bodies, and the assistants walked to the left and the spirit officials walked to the right.
Chen Shuhua sat on Wang Jiaohe's left hand, next to Wang Jiaohe. Qi Xuansu was on Wang Jiaohe's right, but there was a vacant space between the two, which was the position of Lan Da Zhenren. Even if Lan Da Zhenren could not come, he could not be left with his position. He should still have the attitude he should have.
After each of them sat down, Wang Jiaohe, as the real person in charge of the government, said some scenes, which were nothing more than emphasizing the necessity and importance of the Taoist discussion. They were all clichés and there was nothing to say.
Then we have to get to the topic, because Qi Xuansu proposed to convene a major discussion in the Taoist government, so Qi Xuansu spoke first.
Qi Xuansu first looked around for a week, and then slowly said, "There is only one topic of this big discussion, and it is also a common issue, that is, the secret society. It can be said that since the rebuilding of the Taoist Sect, the secret society has always been a major concern of the Taoist Sect. When they were most arrogant, seven ancient immortals even dared to attack the Kunlun Cave Heaven. In two hundred years, some ancient immortals either ascended or fell. To this day, there are three ancient immortals left, which are the three secret societies we often call. Among them, the most rampant and crazy are the Lingshan Witch Sect and the Zhiming Sect."
"When it comes to Lingshan Witch Sect and Zhiming Sect, I have had many dealings with them. I am an witness to the falling boat at Kunlun Pass. I have also been to the scene with Cihang. There is also the second Jiangnan case. The true Lord Siming came to the Jinling Mansion. I am still a person who has witnessed them. I have a deep understanding of their unscrupulous means."
"This time, the two hidden associations were actually under the eyes of Shenglong Mansion, that is, under the eyes of the Taoist Mansion, and secretly created two gods' containers through the dragon energy of the Nanlong, which was simply horrifying. If the two ancient immortals were allowed to come together in Shenglong Mansion and turn the entire Shenglong Mansion into a dead city, how should we explain to the Jinque? Fortunately, how should we explain to the Jinque?
The Dazhenren of the Handmaster discovered it in time and quickly took action to eliminate these two hidden dangers, which turned the danger into safety."
One fact, two understandings.
It can be said that the Landa Zhenren failed to observe and did not notice the secret actions of the ancient immortals in advance, which caused the current situation. It can also be said that the Landa Zhenren was vigilant, quickly discovered, quickly suppressed, and saved the situation.
The former is a mistake, and the latter is a merit.
It depends on what it said.
The people on the same boat as Qi Xuansu and Landa Zhenren naturally have to speak from the standpoint of Landa Zhenren, and also speak for themselves.
The Master of the Master of the Handmaster made contributions because he discovered it in time and saved the situation. So how did he discover it? It was the result of Chen Jianchou's investigation. Who arranged Chen Jianchou's investigation? It was Qi Cixi. The Master of Lan Da was the first to make a contribution. Qi Cixi was always no problem.
At this time, it is impossible for anyone to object to Qi Xuansu.
Because there is no objection, if the Landa Zhenren fails to supervise, will the rest of the Taoist government fail to supervise? So no matter who it is, as long as it is from the Taoist government, they can only choose the second statement, that is, the Landa Zhenren discovered it in time and saved the situation.
In other words, it is because the secret association is too cunning and cannot be guarded against. When they were able to invade Kunlun Cave Heaven and fight against the Donghuang, it can be seen that it is difficult and difficult to deal with. Even Jinque and Donghuang could not defend against the secret association. It is reasonable for our mere local government to not defend against it and should not be criticized. On the contrary, because our local government discovered and stopped the conspiracy of the secret association in time, and it was still a contribution to repair the situation.
This is somewhat of a funeral.
It’s not that Qi Xuansu likes to do this, but that the situation is like this, and he has to do so. Qi Xuansu has to clear the black sheep of the Taoist Mansion internally, and cannot let the Taoist Mansion fall apart, but also maintain internal unity and balance. To put it bluntly, he wants to win over some people to fight against Wang Jiaohe. If he opens his mouth and characterizes the matter as the fault of the entire Taoist Mansion, everyone remembers it, and offends a large number of people, who is still on his side? Why should he deal with Wang Jiaohe by himself?
When doing things, you must pay attention to methods and methods. To unite all forces that can be united, you will inevitably have to pay some price and make some compromises.
For the overall situation of Fenglinzhou, Qi Xuansu can also learn from Qingwei Zhenren. For the overall situation of Borneo, he also needs to learn from Qingwei Zhenren.
Sometimes the word "big situation" doesn't
It sounds nice, and the so-called "taking into account the overall situation" is even more disgusting, but there is nothing we can do about it.
In life, who can do whatever you want? The six generations of great masters have ascended early, and they always have to make choices.
After Qi Xuansu finished speaking, he paused slightly and looked around again.
Everyone's expressions were relatively relaxed, and they might not be able to get any credit, but the old saying goes, nothing wrong is the credit.
Qi Xuansu continued, "Because of this, Lan Da Zhenren suffered some injuries and was in seclusion and healing his injuries. Before Lan Da Zhenren went into seclusion, he entrusted me to perform some of his duties. After I communicated with the Zhenren of the Handmaster and Chief Chen, I announced martial law to prevent the two secret associations from killing another one back."
"But before talking about the two major secret associations, I would like to talk about my half-way inspection trip. Because I gave up halfway, I only went to two places, one was the Lion City in Java, which is the focus of the entire Nanyang trade. You should have been there and understood it, so I won't say much. The other is Bainangben Mansion in Funan. I visited here for a private visit, but what happened? I was shocked."
After the words came, Ke Qingqing had already started to debug the photo stone, and at the same time someone put down a curtain in the direction of the auditorium portal for projection.
Soon, the projection appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It could be seen that this was a very hidden angle of photography, with the perspective shaking randomly and vibrating up and down. Ke Qingqing could not have opened the photo stone anytime and anywhere. Generally, the photo stone will be opened after the incident, so these photos did not take a long time, but it was already very telling.
Everyone's expressions gradually became solemn.
Especially when someone grabbed Qi Xuansu’s chest and dress, someone even took a photo of the small coffee table beside him.
When the photo was taken, Qi Xuansu continued, "In just one day, I have encountered so many secret associations one after another. Indeed, these small secret association forces will not directly threaten the Taoist government like the ancient immortals. Many Taoists have also said that if they want to rectify the secret association forces in the entire Nanyang, they must be led by Jinque, starting from the overall situation and coordinating and cooperating in all aspects, so that they can be accomplished. But these are not the reasons why we put these small secret association forces without taking control. If we sit idly by for a long time, there will be big problems in the foundation of our Taoist government."
Qi Xuansu did not give others a chance to interrupt, and then said, "These small forces of secret societies are so domineering, they are rampant in broad daylight, and I think they should just remove the word "secret". So I wanted to find the local chief and ask him what the situation was. What was the result?
I'm eye-opening."
"I waited in the Taoist temple for a whole night, and it was not until dawn that the Taoist priest who was in charge came to see me drunk. I asked him what he did last night. It turned out that he was drinking and playing with women, and was called reading Buddhist scriptures. If there is such a Taoist priest, can the secret society not be rampant? Yesterday, there was also a respected Taoist priest, an old Taoist, an old senior, and an old real person, who might have heard of some rumors and came to ask me specifically what happened in Qicixie. I had to take out the evidence left over that day and let the old senior listen. The old senior was very angry and said that young people nowadays are unethical, come to deceive and fool the Taoist government. I said that this is not as simple as not being moral, but rather violates the laws of the Taoist sect and must be dealt with strictly."
Hearing this, Zheng Jiaohe's face was already dark.
Qi Xuansu made a phased summary, "So I think there are always two reasons for the changes in things, namely internal and external factors. External factors rely on internal factors to change. In other words, what determines this change is internal factors rather than external factors. External factors are only inducing factors, and internal factors are the original driving force for change."
"In the case of secret associations, the external reason is that secret associations are rampant, while the internal reason is that some people in our government do nothing, or even cooperate with the outside world. It is precisely because of these people that the secret associations are rampant."
"Let's talk about the two major secret societies and Shenglong Mansion, there is an inaction-oriented Taoist priest in Bainangben Mansion. So is there any Shenglong Mansion? Are there any similar people among us deputy governors?"
The picture is revealed.
The previous preparations are all arguments, just to prove the correctness of the last sentence. It is impossible to refute the big ones from the small to see the big ones.
At this time, anyone could hear that Qi Cixi was not about wine, but actually pointed to the interior of the Taoist government under the pretext of the secret society.
Wang Jiaohe did not rush to speak, but he just sighed again in his heart that the younger generation is terrifying. How great would it be if such a young man was a child of the Wang family?
What a pity.
After Qi Xuansu's voice fell, Xu Jiaorong immediately said, "Da Zhenren has always felt that secret associations are a very serious problem. He believes that it is necessary to crack down on secret associations. It is just that the involvement is too wide and cannot affect the maritime trade. It also needs to take into account the attitudes of various countries. It requires an opportunity and requires comprehensive action. I think the matter of Shenglong Mansion this time is a very suitable opportunity. We should carry out a comprehensive action against secret associations, starting with Shenglong Mansion. After all, if you don't clean a house, how can you clean the world? First, clean your doorstep, and then talk about others."
