Chapter 107 Successor
If you do not choose a successor, whether you lack ability or have a second heart, you will face the possibility of your various achievements and achievements being wiped out.
The most prominent example: the five generations of great masters.
So this question must be cautious.
From Qi Xuansu's perspective, the ideal candidate is of course Zhang Yuelu, but Zhang Yuelu is not qualified now.
The Taoist mansions are also divided into sizes. For example, the Taoist mansion in the Western Regions is a well-deserved Dao Mansion, while the Taoist mansion in the Imperial Capital is a typical small Taoist mansion. There is a threshold between the two. Li Changge is only the real person in the Taoist mansion in the Imperial Capital. Su Yuanzai changed from the Taoist mansion in the Xiangzhou Taoist mansion to the Taoist mansion in the Shuzhou Taoist mansion in the Great.
The reason why Qi Xuansu was able to skip the small Taoist mansion to take charge of the big Taoist mansion was because the incident happened suddenly, the situation was dark and unclear, and it could even be said to be full of dangers. It was not to pick peaches and gilt peaches, but to carry the main beam and block the holes. If one cannot do it well, he might have his life. In fact, Buddhism has indeed tried to assassinate Qi Xuansu, but it was just a failure.
Therefore, the appointment of Qi Xuansu was a special situation at an extraordinary time, and the resistance was relatively small. But even so, Qi Xuansu was just a "deputy government" at that time, and it was not until he killed Monk Xiao that he became a regular person.
Today's Western Regions Daofu is considered a peaceful era and there is no extraordinary time. It is basically impossible for Zhang Yuelu to replicate Qi Xuansu's path.
The reason why Yao Shu was able to enter Nanyang was because he worked as the chief of Ziweitang who had been a long time ago. He was very qualified and could have been promoted but had not been promoted for a long time. People of his same period had been promoted to the Zhenren of the Palace and the Zhenren of the Palace, and he was still the Chief. In addition, Yao Shu was of noble origin and belonged to the direct line among the Yao family. The so-called horizontal and vertical line are one. He and Yao Yi are basically the mainstay of the seventh generation of the Yao family. With the support of the Yao family, they were in place in one step.
But Zhang Yuelu is only an eighth generation disciple. She has a long way to go in the future and has very shallow qualifications now. There is no need to rush to get to the top, and there is great resistance.
Zhang Yuelu can't do it, and eight generations of disciples such as Yao Pei and Li Zhuyu can basically be ruled out.
Li Changge is also not good either. Not to mention the camp issues, Li Changge's qualifications are not enough. From the Jinque discussion in the first lunar month to the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, it has been less than a year since the full schedule and no outstanding achievements have been made, so there is no reason to go further.
Qi Xuansu has worked as a real person in the prefecture for at least two years. He has made contributions to pacifying the Western Regions, reopening land trade routes, and his cultivation level of immortals. This is why he went further. Compared with the two, Li Changge is not qualified.
Therefore, this candidate must be selected from the seven generations of disciples, preferably a real person in the small Taoist palace.
Looking at the real people in the small Taoist mansion, the ones who have just been promoted will definitely not be able to do it, such as Li Changge, Shi Bingyun and others, who need older qualifications.
Qi Xuansu remembered someone.
Ye Qingshuang.
It is undeniable that men are the majority of the top leaders of the Taoist sect, and men are essentially dominated by men. It involves the highest power, and no one talks about equality.
There are less than ten female Taoist priests in the Jinque now, but every female Taoist priest is not an ordinary person.
Ye Qingshuang is one of them, and now he serves as the real person in the Luosazhou Taoist Mansion.
Luosazhou is located between the South Ocean and the Southern Continent. It is quite large in area, but it is mostly deserted and Gobi, with sparse populations and not as strategically located as the Western Regions Taoist Mansion. Taoist Mansions more regard it as a large mine and a place where criminals are exiled, so it is classified as a small Taoist Mansion.
Ye Qingshuang wasted a lot of time here. Yun Qingping, who was the same as her, had already become the master of the Duzhitang. She was still a master of the master's mansion, and there was no big problem with her qualifications.
In terms of personal relationships, that's pretty good.
Qi Xuansu and Ye Qingshuang are both born in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, which is the same natural faction.
Ye Qingshuang is a disciple of the seventh generation, but Qi Xuansu talked about friendship with her peers and called her elder sister privately, or senior sister.
This senior sister started from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, strictly speaking, it was from the old master Sun. Ye Qingshuang was also a student of Sun Hewu when she was in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. The two of them used this excuse to recognize their senior sister and younger brother. In essence, it was for friendship, so there was no need to be too serious.
To put it bluntly, both of them have high positions and powerful siblings, so this sibling relationship is close. Sun Hewu has more students, how many of them can call their sisters and brothers?
In terms of personality, Ye Qingshuang is not as good as her name. She is never cold as ice frost, but is gentle and friendly, and has no lack of perseverance and is very reliable.
Li Tianlan's illegitimate son Li Ping was preserved by Ye Qingshuang, which led to the fact that Qi Xuansu and Zhang Kucheng joined forces to take Li Tianlan.
If Ye Qingshuang succeeded Qi Xuansu, it would be the most appropriate. Qi Xuansu believed that this senior sister, who was one generation away, could take on the important responsibilities and would never affect her foundation in the Western Regions Daofu.
Qi Xuansu needs political allies, Yujing has Qi Jiaozheng, and local Taoist governments must not be missing. Whether it is Shi Bingyun or Su Yuanzai, it is too far from Yujing, and the Western Region Taoist government is just right.
The master will also care about this position.
If others are allowed to follow the trend, they will definitely not be grateful to the Grand Master and Qi Xuansu. Instead, they feel that the Grand Master is under external pressure and have to compromise. In this way, the newly appointed real person in the prefecture may not be able to think about the master and apprentice, and they will inevitably be distracted. It is best to mention a person who has little hope from the bottom, which will feel different. It is considered a kind of kindness of knowing the experience, and will be loyal to the Grand Master and will also think about Qi Xuansu's good.
Since the interests of the master and apprentice are the same and the ideas are the same, Qi Xuansu's right to recommend is very important.
Before the official recommendation, Qi Xuansu decided to speak with Ye Qingshuang first, so he contacted Ye Qingshuang with the scriptures.
Qi Xuansu asked, "Senior Sister, where are you?"
Ye Qingshuang said: "Where can I be? Of course it is in Dayuan Port."
Qi Xuansu said: "Why are you, the real person in the palace, always on your own acre of three parts?"
Ye Qingshuang said: "You are interesting. If I am not in my own temple, where else can I go?"
Qi Xuansu said deliberately: "Of course I'm going to Yujing. At least I have to come back to the three major festivals. If you don't run often, how can you make progress? In the words of Westerners, soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers."
Ye Qingshuang laughed: "I heard that this Zhongyuan Festival celebration is your place in lighting the golden lanterns instead of the master. It seems that you are one of the people who often go to Yujing."
Qi Xuansu said: "There is no way. The Western Regions are close to Yujing, not as far as you."
Ye Qingshuang asked in a joking tone: "Then what result did you run away?"
Qi Xuansu said: "It is effective. If nothing unexpected happens, your junior brother will stay in Yujing forever."
Ye Qingshuang was obviously stunned.
What can the true man of Shenzhi stay in Yujing forever? Only the Lord of Nine Halls.
The implication of this sentence is that Qi Xuansu is going to be promoted to the real person of the Palm Hall.
However, Ye Qingshuang knew in his heart that Qi Xuansu, as a candidate for the eighth generation of great masters, had the support of the great masters and the contributions of the subordinates, which was reasonable.
At the same time, as a person who has experienced a lot of ups and downs, Ye Qingshuang immediately realized that when Qi Xuansu ascended, the location of the Western Regions Dao Mansion would be vacant. Moreover, Qi Xuansu has always been arriving at the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. He doesn't like to say hello to him for a few words. He suddenly contacted himself today...
Thinking of this, Ye Qingshuang couldn't help but feel moved.
Could it be said?
Sure enough, Qi Xuansu continued: "Senior Sister, you have eaten sand in Luosazhou for so many years. Have you ever thought about eating sand in another place? After all, where is the sand not eaten?"
When Ye Qingshuang heard this, she couldn't help but feel excited: "Tianyuan, you mean..."
It is also human nature that few people can regard wealth and glory as passing clouds.
It's not embarrassing to make progress.
Qi Xuansu said: "I don't have any promises. I just asked casually about the matter of not having a single word of the eight characters."
"Of course." Ye Qingshuang turned to the scene, "Since the Grand Master's promotion ceremony, we siblings may not have met for a long time. Otherwise, we will meet in Yujing and reminisce about the past?"
Ye Qingshuang put herself in a low position in an inquiring tone.
This is a matter of no choice. Whether it is seniority or age, it is nothing in the face of power. She is not Cihang, nor is she Qi Niang. If she is not good at speaking in the manner of an elder, she should still put her position in the right place.
