Chapter 90 Conversation
The master of the tutor asked Qingwei to have tea together. This was the first private meeting between the two after the election.
Many people are very concerned about the meeting, but few people know what the two are talking about.
The meeting place was chosen in the Weiming Hall of Zixiao Palace. Gong Jiaojun, the secretary of the great sect, and Shen Yuqing, the secretary of the Qingwei Zhenren, left after serving tea. There were only two people in the hall.
The scale of such private conversations is bound to be very large. Many things that are not easy to say in discussions, not easy to say in public, or even quite incorrect.
It was still the less serious small coffee table. Last time Qi Xuansu and others agreed on the reopening of the land trade route here. This small coffee table was actually done on purpose. Starting from the five generations of great masters, three major masters, and may also welcome the fourth major master, which can be regarded as witnessing the changes in history.
The Grand Master and the Qingwei Zhenren sat opposite each other, leaning back on the back of the chair, making them more relaxed.
But what the two talked about was not as easy as it seemed.
After all, the identities of the two are here, and they are not vulgar women, so it is impossible to specifically talk about family matters. For them, it is enough to mention such small matters occasionally, and there is no need to specifically talk about them.
"I have thought about the Taoist sect in Fenglinzhou and Nanyang. After nearly two hundred years of expansion, the Taoist sect has a largest territory far beyond all dynasties, but the problems we face are even more complicated. You should be deeply touched by yourself when you are responsible for the war in Fenglinzhou." The master sect went straight to the point.
Qingwei Zhenren said: "My biggest feeling is that many contradictions do not exist in isolation, but are the result of the combined action of multiple factors."
The master of the great master said: "Today we are the only ones who are you and me, so we won't say those correct nonsense. In my opinion, there are four factors that trouble the Taoist sect now, which we cannot solve in a short period of time.
"The first factor is that the core family of the Taoist sect is in power. Since the core family has the power, there must be internal forces within the Taoist sect outside the core family. It is said that the sect of gentlemen is killed for five generations, and we have been seven generations of disciples, and they are also within this law. They are not willing to concentrate the power of the Taoist sect in the hands of some core families and require more power and interests. However, because they are still members of the Taoist sect, they are much better than other people who are not Taoist sects, so they fight but do not break, and their demands are to divide more cakes, which require more power and interests, but they are unwilling to leave the Taoist sect or overthrow the Taoist sect."
Qingwei Zhenren said: "Wang Jiaohe is considered a representative of this type of person. Although he suppressed Wang Jiaohe, it can be foreseen that there will be more Wang Jiaohe in the future. In essence, if the distribution of power and interests is not solved, such problems will emerge one after another."
The master sect continued: "The second factor is the overseas place, to be precise, the issue of Xidao Gate and the Southern Continent. We have given a lot of support and we must have something to ask for. But Xidao Gate also has its own interests. Now there is a threat of the steam gospel. Of course, they are willing to bow their heads in front of the Taoist sect, but when the external threat disappears, they will inevitably seek so-called "independence", trying to get rid of the control and influence of the Taoist sect and make themselves a separate pole."
Zhenren Qingwei said: "The Jinque discussion has been discussed at the time. I remember that it was the first time that Tianyuan attended the Jinque discussion. I opposed this matter at that time. It is not enough for a full-scale envoy of the Taoist Sect. The Taoist Sect must deeply interfere with the Xidao Sect and strongly control the Xidao Sect. If necessary, it can also push the Xidao Sect to return to the Taoist Sect."
The master of the great master was not angry: "One time, another time."
The real person Qingwei knew that the attitude of the master sect had changed, and perhaps some consensus could be reached between the two.
However, the Grand Master did not discuss this issue in depth, but instead said: "The third factor comes from local forces. These local forces are not powerful factions in the Central Plains, but Fenglinzhou Weiyuan Kingdom, Nanyang Dayu Kingdom, and some areas of the Western Regions, Silla and other places. These places have already developed a state form that does not belong to the Central Plains dynasty. The resistance forces in these places exist in the form of the confluence of certain people within the Taoist sect and local local forces.
"As the first factor I just mentioned, the demands of some people in the Taoist sect cannot be satisfied by the Taoist sect, then they will definitely find a place that can satisfy their interests. How to start a Taoist sect, they will draw the tricks. After seeing the strength of the Taoist sect, some people in the local local forces were eager to obtain this power in order to get rid of the control of the Taoist sect. So the two sides hit it off, and while exploring outstanding talents from the Taoist sect, they were playing two-faced sect secretly."
Qingwei Zhenren said: "The typical representative of this kind of local local forces is Chen Shuhua. The alliance between Wang Jiaohe and Chen Shuhua is almost inevitable. When the Taoist sect is strong, they just seek greater power and more benefits. But when the Taoist sect weakens, they will seek to break away from the Taoist sect and are unfamiliar ungrateful wolves."
The great master said: "Compared with Nanyang, I think the problem in Fenglinzhou will only be more serious. Compared with the pioneers of past dynasties, you and I are considered successful people. These problems must be considered. We cannot let the foundation passed down by the ancestors be destroyed in our hands. That is to be written into history books."
In fact, there is another thing that the Great Master did not mention about Ke Qingwei Zhenren, that is the Daxuan court. This "low Taoist sect" is the largest local force and the most threat to the Daxuan sect. Other places can also be said to be tinea scabies, but the Daxuan court is the elephant in the room.
Zhenren Qingwei took a sip of tea and fell into deep thought.
Even if you don’t care about your reputation forever, what about your reputation forever?
The Grand Master waited for a moment before saying, "The fourth factor is that it comes from within us. The current power structure is very different from the Xuansheng period. Except for the Zhang family and the Li family, it is inevitable that other families will rise and fall, and there will inevitably be a situation where a few families are the core and others are vassals. As for the Yao family, it was also the one that truly grew and grew after Xuansheng passed away."
The real person Qingwei already understood what the master sect was going to say.
As expected, the master sect continued: "The conflict between the Taoist family and the poor forces is inevitable, because if the Taoist sect wants to obtain greater benefits, it will inevitably cultivate more talents. Just like the emperor and the minister, the emperor can take back all the power, but the emperor's energy will inevitably be unable to take into account. The bigger the country, the more things the country does, and if you want to help, you have to separate the power. If you divide the power, you will fight for greater power. This is an unsolvable problem.
"When the Taoist Sect expands, they keep making the big pie bigger, and the contradictions are not obvious, but when the expansion stops, it is the beginning of the sharpening of internal contradictions. But if it expands in disorder, it will exceed the limit of the Taoist Sect's ability, which will lead to the local forces of the second and third factors, which will eventually become bigger, and will not lose their tails, leave the Taoist Sect, or even turn the guest on the ground."
True Man Qingwei sighed and said, "The dilemma cannot be taken into consideration. The four factors are entangled and influenced each other, and it will be difficult to solve in the end. Take the contradiction between the aristocratic family and the poor family for example. The rise of the Five Dynasties masters is already very clear, and the counterattack against the Five Dynasties masters is even more telling the problem. Both sides are almost broken up. Now it seems that the Third Division used thunder to suppress the poor forces. In the end, whether it is the Dao Brother, or the Daoist Su, the leader of the great masters, they actually represent the aristocratic family."
The master of the great master said incisively: "The problem is here. The poor forces are just suppressed, not disappeared. This is like the water of the long river. It is better to be diffused rather than blocked. It is just to block it. It will eventually create a river on earth and heaven, and there will be a day that will not be sustained. That's why I want to overturn the verdict for the master of the five generations and ease these contradictions."
Master Qingwei looked at Master Donghua: "If we follow the natural principles, the river will naturally be diverted, and it is impossible for the earthly river to appear. The problem is that people on both sides of the Long River cannot bear the price of diverting the river, so they have to block it. It is also considered that man will conquer the heavens and go against the heavens. I am afraid that the great master's efforts will eventually be ruined."
"Zhiqing." The word "天文" of the master sect is quite warm with fellow Taoists. "You are a person who is very wise and has always put the interests of the Taoist sect first. I admire you very much. This time you sacrificed a lot of sacrifices and endured a lot of pressure for the overall situation of the Taoist sect. It's really hard for you."
"Maybe this is my blessing. Nowadays, Taoist sect is worried about internal and external troubles. It seems that the success of all ages is just one step away, but in fact, it is impossible to get rid of it if you miss it. The great master sect is the most difficult." The words of Master Qingwei are very sincere. Whether it comes from the heart, it is at least not false to the great master sect.
The master sect also really got to the point: "In theory, in life, it is difficult to repay the kindness of parents. But nine out of ten sons think that it is appropriate for their parents to treat him, so kindness becomes a matter of course. So sometimes the closest one is not father and son, but master and disciple. The son regards the kindness of parents as a matter of course, and the disciple regards the kindness of master as a reward."
The real person Qingwei was silent.
Both of them have no sons, but they just talk about father and son.
Zhenren Qingwei couldn't help but think of Qi Xuansu and Li Changge.
This forced Zhenren Qingwei to think deeply. After all, the person in front of him was a great leader. When the situation was undercurrent, he knew that he was not his confidant. Why did he say this at this time? And these words were obviously pointed everywhere on the next generation of disciples. What is the mystery in it?
Zhenren Qingwei did not answer the words, but just looked at the master and listened attentively.
The Grand Master said: "At this situation, looking at the next hundred years, internal and external troubles are inevitable, and the three disputes are already extremely out of place. It doesn't matter who is the Grand Master. What is important is to maintain the overall situation of the Taoist sect and ensure the unity and stability of the Taoist sect. So I hope that in the next Grand Master election, whether Tianyuan wins or Yongyan wins, we should still put the overall situation first."
Zhenren Qingwei had to express his opinion: "What the Grand Master said is very true, and it should be."
The chief sect finally said: "You, I, and Zhisheng. The three of us represent the three Dao, and they also represent the Taoist sect. We must work together to overcome difficulties together."
