Chapter 51: The Temple

When the great master returned to Beijing, the flying boat would certainly not land outside the city, but would separate the formation and directly cross the outer city and the inner city, and land in the Yaochi of the Great Zixiao Palace.

Because they landed in the Great Zixiao Palace, there were not many people greeting. After all, not everyone could enter the Great Zixiao Palace.

Moreover, there are fewer people in the Great Zixiao Palace than before. The Tianshi is still in Jiangnan. He will return to the Great Zhenren Mansion of Yunjinshan and continue to stay in Jiangnan. Qi Niang stays in the Wanshou Chongyang Palace of Difeishan. She will integrate Quanzhendao according to Qi Xuansu's requirements to solve the mess left by Yao Ling.

Only Wu Niang and Ci Hang came back with Qi Xuansu.

Of course, Zhang Yuelu came to greet her.

Compared to Qi Xuansu's vigorous spirit, Zhang Yuelu seemed a little tired.

It’s not that Qi Xuansu is not tired. He personally fought Yao Ling, so why is he not tired? It’s just that the joy of victory diluted this fatigue.

Zhang Yuelu did not go to the battlefield, and was mainly responsible for the rear. She was not physically exhausted, but mental exhausted.

In addition to various situations, Qi Xuansu can reach this day, one thing he is stronger than Zhang Yuelu, that is, human relationships and worldly affairs.

Zhang Yuelu’s human nature is like her cooking skills. She is not ignorant of it, but she just disdains to do it, so naturally she is a step-by-step resistance. Zhang Yuelu’s ability to reach this day is inseparable from the support of the three people.

The first one is Cihang Real Person. Without Cihang Real Person, Zhang Yuelu would not only not be able to make a fortune in the Zhang family, but she would not even be able to save her life.

The second one is the Tianshi. When Zhang Yuelu showed enough potential, the Tianshi began to support Zhang Yuelu unconditionally. Many people who are not familiar with the internal relationship of the Zhang family even think that Zhang Yuelu is the Tianshi's granddaughter. In fact, the blood relationship between the two is very far away, but the treatment Zhang Yuelu enjoys is indeed at the level of the granddaughter. If Zhang Kucheng is the son of the Tianshi and Zhang Yuelu is the daughter of Zhang Kucheng, then the relationship between the Zhang family will be completely straightened out and there will be no disputes between these major sects and small sects.

The third one is of course Qi Xuansu, who has always been willing to delegate power to Zhang Yuelu.

These three people have one common characteristic: they support Zhang Yuelu, but they will not force Zhang Yuelu's head to force her to be in a worldly way.

In their opinion, it is of course good and valuable to Zhang Yuelu bend for the rest of her life. If Zhang Yuelu figured it out in the middle of the journey, there would be nothing wrong. It would be a bad thing to encounter setbacks early in her youth. If she suffered too many setbacks, the more mature she would be.

Now it seems that Zhang Yuelu is a little more slick and will give people face, but it still has not changed in her bones.

This is an important reason why Zhang Yuelu is tired.

After so many years of development, the Taoist sect has taken power, and the aristocratic families have embarked on complex marriages. Although they still have to turn against each other when they should turn against each other, they are all related to each other. Even Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are part of these in-law relationships.

This is also the problem with Taoism.

Complex interpersonal relationships lead to huge internal friction. In many cases, cooperation obedience is not about right or wrong, but about people and things. Doing things is not about the pros and cons, but about one's own pros and cons.

Zhang Yuelu is unkind, and she is unable to move in the Taoist sect, even if she is a master, some are soft-killing, passive confrontation, excessive execution, relying on her seniority, moral kidnapping, and some are methods and means.

At this point, Qi Xuansu is not that hard, and even has a soft figure. When it comes to talking about human feelings, he will definitely talk about human feelings. When he is not a great master, at first glance, there is not much basic foundation for the direct line, but he buys his account in all aspects. Therefore, after he took over Yao Ling's power and became the great master, he quickly formed his own team and gained real power.

As long as Qi Xuansu uses three-pointers to promote things, Zhang Yuelu needs to use nine-pointers.

Many people are helping Qi Xuansu, and here are resistance to Zhang Yuelu.

However, whether it is Qi Xuansu or Zhang Yuelu, their approach has both pros and cons.

Qi Xuansu will inevitably be burdened by favors. When he really wants to take action to rectify, he is always an old subordinate, an old brother, an old friend, an old friendship, an old senior, what should you do? This is his disadvantage.

Zhang Yuelu has always been inhumane, but will not be burdened by human relationships. If she can go to the end and really want to rectify the Taoist sect, she can move forward and cut the mess with a quick knife. This is her advantage.

On the surface, the rectification of Taoist schools is a rebuilding system, but the system is also implemented by people. Therefore, on the deeper level, it is a rectification of the atmosphere and people's hearts.

It is difficult and difficult in people's hearts.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are like water. As we all know, water has no constant power, so people's hearts have always been changing.

The key to rectifying people's hearts is to match leniency and strictness in order to be convinced.

Let’s talk about strictness first. From a country to a small country, we must follow rules.

What are rules? In fact, in short, rules are clear expectations of behavior - what kind of behavior will get what kind of results must be clearly informed and strictly enforced. Rewards are expected, and punishments are also expected.

The four words "fair and strict" are easier said than done.

He said that he could not be granted a title of a marquis, and he could not be deposed on the beheading.

At this point, Qi Xuansu was not doing well enough, and he was a little too flexible.

However, "strictness" is far from enough. If there is only "strictness", it becomes strictness.

It must be wide.

People are not dead things, and they cannot forget their feelings too much. They all have seven emotions and six desires.

At this time, you must take good care of your subordinates and think what your subordinates think in order to unite people's hearts.

For example, if the Jiazi Lingguan who died in battle was extremely honored, it would be of great help to master the chief sect's personal army. They would think that even if they were unfortunately killed in battle, they would still be gloriously killed in battle, full of honor, and without any worries, then they would be brave and brave. What if they didn't do this? Use people as tools, abandon them as if they were worn out, and give them some peace money to provide for their own pensions, then the people below would be wondering, who would dare to die?

At this point, it cannot be said that Zhang Yuelu did not do well, but that Qi Xuansu did better.

Therefore, the couple complement each other, and this complementarity is perfectly reflected in Xiao Yin's education, one sings red face and the other sings black face.

Of course, Qi Xuansu understood Zhang Yuelu's difficulties, but he couldn't say anything. He was in full view of everyone and could only pat the back of her hand to show comfort.

It doesn’t matter to Zhang Yuelu. Being tired doesn’t mean she just wants to find a shoulder to lean on.

Self-pity is the most unforgivable - I feel that others have support, and some people have shelter from the wind and rain. How miserable it is to not rely on yourself. That is to treat yourself as a dependent, and it is the mentality of a child and a baby.

Then he complained that his partner ignored the family and wanted to take on the responsibility of himself, and then cried and conducted a moral judgment on his partner, making him feel guilty. That was Pu Liu's mentality.

That's not Zhang Yuelu.

What's wrong with not relying on it? I just rely on it. Even if Qi Xuansu became the chief sect, Zhang Yuelu didn't think she was Qi Xuansu's accessory, she was still her.

Those who strengthen themselves will help God.

Qi Xuansu didn't say much, and didn't even go back to Zixiao Palace, but went directly to the Ancestor's Palace.

As the real person in the temple hall, Zhang Wuliang did not go out with the army this time, but stayed in Yujing. After receiving Qi Xuansu's order in advance, he had already arranged people to prepare. The entire Ancestor Hall was completely renewed today.

The Taoist Patriarch Hall cannot be equated with the Confucian Emperor Temple, so the layout is also different.

The main hall in the center is dedicated to the great masters of all dynasties, the side hall on the left is dedicated to the great masters of all dynasties, and the side hall on the right is dedicated to the ascension of all dynasties.

In addition, each master has a separate temple. In addition to worshiping the master himself, it mainly worships people who accompany the sacrifice. Xuansheng Temple is the largest, with the most people who accompany the sacrifice, with twenty-eight people. The sixth generation master temple is the smallest, and there are no ones who accompany the sacrifice, which is very dismal.

As for why the seventh generation of master sect is better than the sixth generation of master sect? Because he has a good disciple. As long as Qi Xuansu is in power, he will definitely not make his master miserable, and there will be no fewer people accompanying him. If someone else is on the throne, the seventh generation of master sect may have to be treated with the sixth generation of master sect.

There is also the eight generations of great masters. After Qi Xuansu was promoted to the throne, the temple hall had already begun to build a worship hall for him, which was similar to the emperor's tomb construction. However, the temple of the great masters did not cost much and occupied a small area, so it could not be compared with the emperor's tomb.

Qi Xuansu slowly walked towards the Ancestor Hall, and the Lingguan on the left and right sides of the long steps were straight and saluted in turn, and his eyes moved closely with Qi Xuansu.

At the end of the steps, the two spiritual officials slowly pushed open the gate of the Ancestor Hall, causing the sky to shine into the slightly dim Ancestor Hall.

Qi Xuansu crossed the threshold and entered the main hall. At first glance, he saw a portrait of the Taishang Taoist Ancestor’s residence. On the left is Xuansheng and on the right is Donghuang.

The third generation of great masters are on the left of Xuansheng, the fourth generation of great masters are on the right of Donghuang, and so on.

This doesn't depend on the merits, it depends on the chronological order.

Donghuang's great master's addiction has never been wasted. If he had not become a great master, he could only be in the East Palace. However, if he became a great master, he could be in the middle hall and be on par with Xuansheng.

The seventh generation of the masters is on the far left, next to the fifth generation of the masters. Qi Xuansu's position has been reserved, but the portrait has not been hung yet. On the far right, next to the sixth generation of the masters.

Zhang Wuliang personally presided over the leadership, and Qi Xuansu solemnly worshiped the Supreme Taoist Ancestor and the seven great masters in accordance with the etiquette procedures.

Then Qi Xuansu went to the East Parting Hall, where he mainly worshiped the deputy heads of the past dynasties. Many famous figures are here, such as the three ancestors in the center - Li Zu, Zhang Zu and Yao Zu.

In addition, Mrs. Xuan Sheng, Yan Feiqing, Shangguan Wan, Yao Hengbo, Yao Yueyan and others also worship here, except for Yao Ling, she was expelled from the Taoist rank and naturally had no qualifications.

Among them, Mrs. Xuansheng was a great master of Quanzhen Dao, so she was worshipped here, but there is also a portrait of her in Xuansheng Temple. Ordinary masters can only be worshipped in the corresponding masters' hall. The six generations of masters don't even have a Taoist couple, so it is so miserable.

After Cihang's real person ascended, there will be two portraits, one in the West Hall and the other in the Seventh Generation Grand Master Hall.

The West Hall is where the ascension ancestors of all dynasties are located. The portrait of Jiang Da Zhenren is here. In the future, Lan Da Zhenren, Yan Da Zhenren, and Zhang Da Zhenren will also enter this hall, and the main place is Xu Zu.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Zu is a master of the earth, but he did not become the deputy head sect of the Taoist sect. The three earliest deputy head sects were Zhang Zu, Li Zu, and Emperor Gaozu of Daxuan. Therefore, Xu Zu was enshrined in the West Hall as the ascension to the ancestor and occupied the main position of the West Hall.

As for the royal family, they have their own Taimiao system, so they are not included in this list.

Qi Xuansu worshipped all three halls and went to the Seventh Generation Grand Master Hall. Apart from the Seventh Generation Grand Master, there are only portraits of Jiazi Lingguan.

Qi Xuansu asked the others to wait outside, leaving only himself in the hall, and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he enshrines the bronze mask left by Yao Ling in front of the portrait of the seven generations of the great masters.
