Chapter 106 The end of the term
The first thing Qi Xuansu did when he returned to the Western Regions Taoist Palace was to convene the Taoist Palace to discuss matters.
The first reason is of course that Qi Xuansu wants to appear in public to stabilize people's hearts. The master of the government is not here, and the master of the government is not here, which inevitably makes people think too much, which is not conducive to stability.
The second reason is to deal with the backlog of official duties. Li Zhuyu is not a real person in the head of the house, nor is she a real person in the head of the house. Many things cannot be decided, and she must wait for Qi Xuansu to come back.
However, considering Qi Xuansu's strong position, it is more like reporting work than discussing matters. Qi Xuansu sat in the main seat, starting with Li Zhuyu and reporting one by one.
It was Qi Xuansu who entrusted this matter to Li Zhuyu, so he naturally had to give absolute trust. As long as there was no matter of principle, even if Qi Xuansu had any objections, he would criticize it. In general, hello, everyone, and there was a harmonious atmosphere.
Then there was Lu Yujue, the chief vice-president, responsible for economy and money, similar to the governor, and the second vice-president, responsible for law and punishment, and similar to the censor. Lu Yujue's report was not so harmonious, exuding blood.
The preliminary trial of the Goddess Association is mostly due to death. For the Goddess Association, these people are valuable only when they are inside the Taoist sect. Once they leave the Taoist sect, they are worthless, so there is no possibility of exchanging prisoners. It is meaningless to keep the Taoist sect. There is no shortage of Taoist sects, but not killing people is not enough to shock those who have two hearts. They just use the sacrifice flag to make a good start for reopening the land trade route.
Qi Xuansu read the list of death sentences, and Lu Yujue and the relevant persons in charge of the case have signed it on it.
Qi Xuansu raised his hand.
Yan Yongzhen immediately handed a red pen to Qi Xuansu's hand.
This is Gou Zhu, also known as Gou Jue. As usual, gou Jue criminals draw a Gou on the submission of Fengxiantang Branch. If the criminal is pardoned, the crime will be sent back for retrial.
There are two types of executions of criminals: one is “never wait for time”, and the red pen is executed immediately, also known as “Li Jue”; the other is “Autumn Trial”, which means that the criminals are executed on the day of the beginning of autumn.
These people are "resolute decisions" and cannot wait for a moment.
As a brigade, it is not a false statement to hold the power of life and death. After all, the territory of the Taoist sect is too wide and the population is too large, so it is impossible to report everything to Fengxiantang for review. This power, as well as part of the legislative power, is flexibly controlled by the real person in the hands of the government according to the specific circumstances of each government.
Qi Xuansu used a red pen to tick the names of the people on this list one by one - one hook is a life, and this pen is comparable to a judge's pen.
As the saying goes, life and death are important, life and life are at stake, so this red pen can only be used by the real person in the palace.
Everyone stared at Qi Xuansu's pen and was silent.
After Qi Xuansu drew Zhu, he signed his name in the blank space outside the table, and then put down the pen. Yan Yongzhen immediately picked up the list and handed it over to Lu Yujue.
Lu Yujue handed over the list to Feng Xiantang Branch assistant: "Immediately follow the list of the vote and prepare for execution."
The assistant of Fengxiantang Branch left the seat and walked over, picked up the list, and walked out quickly.
However, several main culprits were not on the list. Because of their special identities, they needed to be reported to Feng Xiantang and Beichentang. After review, they were executed in Yujing. The local government does not have this power yet.
The third one reported on Hu Jiaochong. Because the trade route was reopened, some laws in the Taoist government were not applicable and needed to be adjusted.
Qi Xuansu asked about the opinions of Feng Xiantang Branch, and after discussing with everyone, he signed a series of draft amendments. The so-called amendments are amendments to the existing laws, which can avoid re-legislation and save resources, and will not change the total number of current laws, which is more conducive to stability.
In the current Taoist ecology, unless the Great Master of the Handicraft will be suppressed, the Master of the Handicraft will almost control absolute power, personnel, finance, law, and the unity of the three powers.
While holding great power, it also means that the responsibility is heavy and you cannot be careless.
Qi Xuansu took a lot of time to deal with these things.
Qi Xuansu always said that he is a lucky person. His luck is that if he works hard, he will definitely gain - most of the time, ordinary people's efforts are not necessarily related to gain. They often work hard countless times, and opportunities only appear one or two of them, or even do not.
So hard work will bring you rewards, and it has surpassed most people.
However, this does not mean that Qi Xuansu can reach today by doing nothing. The "Heart of the Stone of Eternal Life" is a dead thing after all. It may make Qi Xuansu an immortal, but it cannot make Qi Xuansu a great master. After all, there are many immortals, and only one person can be a great master. In terms of personal future, Qi Xuansu still needs to strive for it himself.
So these complicated and trivial matters are indispensable.
After the reports were completed one by one by one, Qi Xuansu would meet the officials of the court in Xizhou again. Although the Taoist government and the court did not belong to each other, overall, the Taoist sect is the main one. When the great masters are with the emperor, the great masters are the main ones, and when the real persons of the government and the governor are with the real persons of the government, they are the real persons of the government.
In addition, Qi Xuansu also had to connect with the Western Regions Daofu and Shuzhou Daofu. When he mentioned reopening the land trade route, there were four trade routes in total, one of which was in Shuzhou. When Qi Sect was in office, he talked about this matter with Qi Xuansu. Now that Su Yuanzai is in power, he is also ambitious and wants to achieve something, he set his sights on this trade route and has always had to negotiate related matters with Qi Xuansu.
Whether for the sake of Cihang's real person or from the perspective of interests, Qi Xuansu has no reason to refuse.
Among many official chores, a month passed in a flash.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Qi Xuansu receives a message that Qi Jiaozheng has finally come out of seclusion.
The Qi Sect went into seclusion earlier than Qi Xuansu, but came out later than Qi Xuansu. Now there is finally a result.
If nothing unexpected happens, Qi Jiaozheng has become an immortal.
It can be foreseen that as the six generations of disciples ascend and retreat one after another, the seven generations of disciples will usher in a "crow of immortals", and many pseudo-immortals began to try to achieve enlightenment, intending to be the first.
Becoming an immortal at the age of seventy is an immortal, and becoming an immortal at the age of one hundred is also an immortal, but the results are completely different.
The sooner you become an immortal, the easier it is to make progress.
Of course, the premise is that the sixth generation of disciples have their seats vacant, and only if they have a seat is there is a need to compete for the first place. If the sixth generation of disciples refuse to leave, then they will not be able to make progress in becoming an immortal, and a lot of resources consumed will be wasted.
Generally speaking, the inner alchemy sect will have some hidden dangers to be promoted to immortals through the outer alchemy sect. It is basically impossible to become a quasi-tribulation immortal. After all, there are only a few geniuses of the inner alchemy sect like Zhang Yuelu, and even a few geniuses of the outer alchemy sect like Qi Xuansu.
Putting aside the Three Crown Lords, Qi Jiao is the first one, not the last one.
If Qi Sect succeeds in becoming an immortal, it means that Jiang Da Zhenren’s ascension period is not far away. When Qi Sect enters the Miluo Palace, and reopens the business road and embarks on the right path, Qi Xuansu will also follow suit and serve as the master of the temple and sacrifice hall, become the master of the Nine Halls, and obtain the qualification of the Jinque Small Proposal.
At the same time, Qi Xuansu also needs to consider one thing: who should he choose as the successor of the Western Regions Taoist Prefecture?
Although Qi Xuansu cannot directly appoint successors, he has the right to recommend and accounts for a relatively large proportion. Generally speaking, the Grand Master and Jinque will carefully consider Qi Xuansu's opinions.
Therefore, Qi Xuansu must consider the issue of successor at the end of his term.
