Chapter 84: The situation in the Western Regions
When the meeting began, the meeting hall was still full and could not even sit down. Some people had to stand or wait outside the meeting hall. However, when the meeting ended, the meeting hall was already empty, and most of them had left, including some deputy heads in charge.
Qi Xuansu still looked at the others, turned his head slightly, and approached the direction where Wu Niang was: "I'm done, is there anything else to add to Qi Da Zhenren?"
Wu Niang said, "That's it."
After saying that, Wu Niang stood up and left the table, and Zhang Yuelu, Lin Yuanmiao and two first-rank spiritual officials also stood up.
Xiao Yin was still sitting stupidly, not as enlightened as Wu Niang's secretary. It was Qi Xuansu who patted her and then hurriedly followed her after realizing it.
Wu Niang also deliberately slowed down and patiently waited for Xiao Yin.
I'm afraid Qi Xuansu really wants to make the point. The mother and the mother are together, and I don't know who will serve whom.
Qi Xuansu sat and didn't move, and Long Xiaobai, Lu Yujue and others naturally sat and didn't move.
It is not easy for the remaining senior officials of the Taoist government to leave. .??.
Strictly speaking, the Taoist priests are all under the jurisdiction of the Zhenren of the Lord, and the Dazhen people in the Lord are mainly in charge of the spirit officials. Although the Dazhen people in the Lord have a higher status, Qi Xuansu is their immediate superior.
Qi Xuansu slowly stood up: "Lu Cixi, I'll leave it to you. Chief Zhao, come on, I have something to tell you."
After saying that, Qi Xuansu walked out. Long Xiaobai wanted to follow Qi Xuansu, but Qi Xuansu signaled her to stay.
Zhao Jiaowu had no choice but to stand up and walk out with Yan Yongzhen with Qi Xuansu, feeling full of uneasiness.
However, Zhao Jiaowu soon realized that Qi Xuansu was not familiar with the Daxue Mountain Palace, so he walked a few more steps and walked in front to lead the way for Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu said: "Myster Chen's relics have not been tidied up yet, right? Let's not go to the signing room for now, just find a reception room."
Zhao Jiaowu responded, changed direction, and led Qi Xuansu to a small reception room.
Qi Xuansu sat down first.
Yan Yongzhen naturally began to prepare tea - this type of reception room is similar, almost the standard configuration of various Taoist governments. Although Yan Yongzhen is here for the first time, she is not unfamiliar with it.
Zhao Jiaowu stood aside carefully, a little bit trying to help Yan Yongzhen prepare tea, but he couldn't let Qi Xuansu hang here.
Qi Xuansu said, "Chief Zhao, why are you standing? Do you want me to raise my head and talk to you? Sit down or sit down and talk."
Zhao Jiaowu sat down carefully, but he couldn't sit steadily.
In theory, the Chief Vice-President

One of the three horses in the mansion is not as reserved as the real person in charge of the mansion. It is just that his family knows his family affairs. After Chen Zhengxian had an accident, Zhao Jiaowu was also one of the suspects, and he was half a guilty person. The reason why he did not examine him was because the Beichen Hall branch did not have this power, so no subordinates could examine their superiors.
But Qi Xuansu obviously has this qualification and power, and it can even reasonably believing that Qi Xuansu came with a task. In this case, Zhao Jiaowu must not be careless and must also act in a low position.
Yan Yongzhen brought two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table next to them.
Qi Xuansu did not move, and Zhao Jiaowu reached out to help him.
Yan Yongzhen retreated to the side, inconspicuous, and was always waiting for instructions.
Qi Xuansu picked up the tea and took a sip: "Tell me, this is not the first time we have met."
Zhao Jiaowu hurriedly said, "I remember that last time it was Zhenren of the Palace and Zhenren of Zhang, and fellow Taoists from Tiangang Hall who took a flying boat back to Yujing from the Yaochi Lake in Daxue Mountain."
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "At that time, Zhenren Zhang was the youngest deputy hall master, and I was still a seventh-grade Taoist priest. If it weren't for Zhenren Zhang's general, maybe I would still do paperwork in Tiangang Hall. Of course, there was nothing wrong with Tiangang Hall, but the government would be more broad for me."
Zhao Jiaowu didn't know what to say.
Click the general, click the general, how can you click the whole family? This is sending yourself out too.
Rather than saying it is a general, it is better to say that Zhang Zhenren has a vicious vision. He can see at a glance that Zhenren Qi is not a thing in the pool, and he turns into a dragon when he encounters wind and clouds. In today's Taoist sect, how many female Taoists don't envy Zhang Zhenren? They have a noble background, a happy marriage, and a bright future. Even if they cannot become the master sect, they are very likely to become the master sect's wife, and they are the kind of real power master sect's wife.
So Zhao Jiaowu just laughed and didn't talk rashly.
Qi Xuansu was not planning to recall the past, and the topic changed: "So many years have passed in a flash, and I have been traveling everywhere. Chief Zhao has been in the Western Regions Daofu, from the Vice-President to the Secondary Deputy, and from the Secondary Deputy, to the Chief Vice-President. He can be said to be aware of the situation in the Western Regions Daofu. I am just a first-time visit and I have to ask Chief Zhao for advice. What do you think about the current situation in the Western Regions?"
Zhao Jiaowu corrected his sitting posture and replied seriously: "I think the question about Buddhism is caused by two internal contradictions."
Qi Xuansu became interested: "Tell me more in detail."
Zhao Jiaowu cleared his throat and said, "The so-called two internals, one internal refers to some contradictions inside our Taoist sect and inside the Taoist sect, which gave Buddhism an opportunity to take advantage of."
When talking, Zhao Jiaowu was observing Qi Xuansu's expression. When he saw Qi Xuansu nodding in agreement, he felt a little relieved.
The attitudes of Taoist sect’s various problems vary from person to person. Some people dare to point out problems, such as Zhang Yuelu. Some people are very taboo about this. Even if everyone knows it well, they cannot put it on the table and say it to beautify the peace.
Now it seems that Qi Xuansu is still relatively enlightened.
This is undoubtedly an encouragement. Zhao Jiaowu continued: "The other internal refers to the internal Buddhism. I have been in the Western Regions for many years and have dealt with Buddhism a lot. Based on my understanding of Buddhism, I believe that Buddhism hopes to seize the 'major historical opportunity' of our Taoist sect being limited by internal contradictions to reverse the decline of Buddhism in the past century. Therefore, the radicals within Buddhism should promote a series of changes to make Buddhism great again, and pave the way for the grand blueprint for the second dispute between Buddhism and Taoism."
"The Buddhist school followed the nine-grade and twelve-level reforms of the Taoist sect, which was the beginning of this reform. However, to achieve such a critical goal, Buddhist radicals need to seize overwhelming advantages within Buddhism and suppress other opposition voices. This is the internal contradiction of Buddhism."
"If you want to resolve this internal conflict, the Buddhist top leaders must be tough on the outside. The Buddhists dare not start a war against the Holy Court, otherwise he will fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the Taoist sect and the Holy Court. Therefore, the optimal solution for Buddhism is to rely on the Holy Court to fight against the Taoist sect and transfer the internal conflict to the Taoist sect. This is unified with the first contradiction I mentioned to form a closed logic."
"At the end of the day, when facing internal difficulties and pressures, Buddhism tends to find channels to solve problems from the outside. Some internal problems and contradictions have given Buddhism an opportunity. There is no doubt that this is a risky move. If it fails externally, it will trigger internal contradictions in Buddhism and make it defeat itself without attacking."
Qi Xuansu listened very seriously and nodded, "Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years."
Qi Xuansu also had to admit that Zhao Jiaowu had quite an insight on the issue of the Western Regions and saw it very clearly. He could hit the nail on the head. This chief vice-president is really not a good person.
Zhao Jiaowu continued: "The huge size of Buddhism makes it difficult for us to completely solve the Buddhist problem. Buddhism is no better than Nanyang, and it lacks sufficient strategic value and sufficient economic value. In a folk saying, "Toad Party"
#Every time verification occurs, please do not use traceless mode!
The insteps do not bite people, disgusting people."
"Since the third generation of great masters, our focus has shifted to our own development and began to explore the South China Sea. During the fourth generation of great masters, we have successively developed Posa and Luosa continent and further deepened development and reform. After the fifth generation of great masters, we attached more importance to overseas interests and began to support the Southern Continent and Xidaomen on a large scale."
"In this case, our Taoist attitude towards Buddhism is that when soldiers come to block the water and soil, we cannot let Buddhism affect our development strategy, and we cannot let a toad affect our established rhythm. We mainly focus on resolving and preventing all kinds of provocative behaviors in Buddhism, and we will never fight."
"To put it bluntly, Buddhism is not worth the current Taoist war. Once the war begins, we will lose, no matter whether it is a loss or a win or a win. And once we lose, it will be a big loss and it will be unbearable."
"Buddhist also saw this, and the restraint of Taoism actually fueled their arrogance. They were barefoot and were not afraid of wearing shoes. They made a big fortune with small gains and gained a goal. Finally, they reached the point where they could not bear it, so this battle was inevitable. They always had to fight, not only to hurt them, but also to completely break their great blueprints so that they could recognize their correct position."
Qi Xuansu thoughtfully said: "In your opinion, will this radical action of Buddhism reach some kind of tacit understanding with the Holy Court?"
Zhao Jiaowu thought about it and said, "This possibility is not ruled out. The Holy Court may not support Buddhism in public, but it is hard to say it privately. So I think we cannot do things in arousal, and we cannot raise troops in anger. As the saying goes, do not underestimate the enemy because of the heavy army, do not violate the crowd because of the unique view, and do not take arguments as inevitable. War is a major event of the country and a place of life and death. We must be careful and observant."
Qi Xuansu nodded, no longer continued on this topic, and instead said: "The story of Chen Zhenren has been taught profound."
Zhao Jiaowu immediately said: "Yes, yes, this lesson is not only profound, but also painful. Our Taoist government must summarize it carefully, reflect carefully, review deeply, and make great efforts to make rectifications. Give a satisfactory explanation to the real person in the prefecture and a satisfactory explanation to Jinque."
Qi Xuansu said: "It's good to have such an idea. Stabilize the situation in the Taoist government as soon as possible, and then prepare to welcome Master Jiang Da."
Zhao Jiaowu was a little surprised.
Qi Xuansu explained again: "Jiang Da Zhenren is the representative of Jinque this time, representing the rotating Jinshi, which has different meanings. After all, if such a big thing happens, Jinque can no longer fully believe in our Taoist palace."
