I blame the system for licking dogs

Liu Zhengzheng pondered for a moment, "Tell me specifically what this vote is about."

Lou Qian sat up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and stood next to Liu Zhengjing. Except for a bruise on his forehead, he returned to his handsome young man's state.

"Whenever the Hong League encounters a major issue, the Council of Elders initiates arbitration. Each of the thirteen sects has one vote. The one with the most votes passes the resolution, and everyone from top to bottom of the Hong League follows suit. This Hong League meeting is the best time to initiate an arbitration resolution. Conservative

The faction will definitely make trouble."

"So you are radicals and you are currently at a disadvantage in terms of votes?"

Lou Qian replied: "To be precise, we are the main war faction. About a thousand years ago, when foreign invaders invaded, Hongmeng and Jiumen put aside their past grievances and worked together to resist foreign aggression, and then entered a long period of peace. During this period, conservatives were born. They advocated fighting against foreign aggression.

Great Qin coexists peacefully and jointly builds Great Qin."

"As for our main militant faction, we adhere to the ancestral precepts of the Hongmeng and overthrow the Nine Sects. Over the past hundreds of years, with the rise of Qin's science and technology, the Hongmeng has become increasingly weak. The conservative forces within the league have always been strong, leading to the path that the Hongmeng has been following for hundreds of years.

It is a peaceful route, but the cohesion within the alliance has declined, the fighting spirit has been insufficient, and the strength has continued to decline. After the general took over, there was a slight improvement, but it was still restricted by those weaklings."

Liu Zhengjing listened to Lou Qian's narration and knew that there must be subjective elements in this passage. However, Liu Zhengjing generally agreed with the views of the main war faction. It is more difficult to change a decadent existence like Jiumen than to overthrow it.

It will continuously weaken your own sense of resistance.

"What are the thirteen gates? How many votes do you have so far?" Liu Zhengjing asked a crucial question.

Liu Zhengjing has always considered himself to be a non-staff member of the Hongmeng, and has not inquired about the specific situation of the Hongmeng. The organizational structure of the Thirteen Sects of the Hongmeng, which even Daqin does not understand clearly, should be a secret in his eyes, and he does not want to think about it.

Go deeper.

Now he realizes that his relationship with the Hongmeng is difficult to change based on his own wishes. With Liu Sangeng and Zong Yong there, even if he refuses to join the Hongmeng, in the eyes of most people, he is still considered a member of the Hongmeng.

people.

"Hongmeng has established thirteen gates since its founding. The core layer is the general leader, a sitting hall, two guardians, thirteen hall masters and the elders' hall. It has a main hall, a military hall, a torture hall, a law hall, and a spy hall.

The financial hall, the auditorium, the school, the Yama Hall, the Yulong Gang, the Baihua Club, the Tiangong Pavilion, and the Presbyterian House.”

Liu Zhengjing only knows about the main hall, the military hall, the execution hall, the Yama hall, the Yulong gang, the Tiangong Pavilion and the Baihuahui so far. As for the other halls, he has never heard of them.

"Tell me about these thirteen chapters." Since it is destined to be inseparable from Hongmeng, let's get to know it better.

Lou Qian introduced Liu Zhengjing without reservation.

"The main hall, located in Pingyang Town, the ancestral homeland, has jurisdiction over thirteen halls. It has the responsibilities of convening members of the alliance, coordinating the operations of various halls, allocating resources, mediating disputes, issuing orders, etc. It is regarded as the center of power of the Hong League. The leader of the hall is the sitting hall and has jurisdiction over

Secretariat and heraldry office. In many cases, the main hall is directly led by the general manager, so there is no sitting hall, but now our main hall does have a sitting hall."

He paused briefly when he said this, and Liu Zhengjing didn't know what he meant, so he heard him continue.

"The name of the military hall is uncertain and changes all the year round. It is responsible for selecting soldiers, training troops, commanding troops, and uniting wars. It does not appear in the world when it is idle, and the world is not peaceful. In theory, with the military hall authorized by the general commander, it can control the spy hall, finances, etc.

Hall, Tiangong Pavilion. The hall master is in charge of it, and he is in charge of the troops and orders to assist him."

"The execution hall is in charge of the punishment within the alliance, supervises the alliance members, punishes the disciples who violate the rules, and kills the traitors. There is a hall master and an inspector."

Liu Zhengjing interrupted and asked: "Who is the leader of the Punishment Hall now? How many people are there in the Punishment Hall?" He has a supervisor token on his body, and it sounds like the supervisor is quite important.

Lou Qian looked strange, "The peace policy in recent hundreds of years has led to the relative independence of each hall. It has been difficult for the execution hall to enforce the law, and it has gradually declined. So far... plus you, there are four more people. The hall leader is Zong Fan, uncle, and he does not care about affairs.

There are two more deacons below, namely Senior Brother Zhang Dahai and Junior Brother Faceless Man."

Seeing Liu Zhengjing's lack of interest, Lou Qian added: "Although the execution hall is weak, it still has its responsibilities and rights. The master of the hall does not interfere with the affairs. You are the one who talks about it. This time it is likely that you will be the one to talk about it."

Representing the Hall of Punishment.”

Liu Zhengjing thought thoughtfully, "What kind of person is the leader of the Punishment Hall?"

"You should have met that old man from Pingyang Town...who likes farming. He is also the right protector of our Hong League."

Old farmer! This old man is the first person from Hongmeng that Liu Zhengzheng has met. Unexpectedly, he is also his direct superior. No wonder he picked up the torture stick in the blacksmith shop. He should have guessed it.

"Dharma protector?"

"Well, Hongmeng has two guardians, the left and right, usually the heads of the execution hall and the law hall serve as both guardians."

"You continue."

"The Law Hall is responsible for trials and sentencing within the alliance. High-level or controversial matters within the league are handed over to the Law Hall for trial and conviction, and then to the execution hall for execution."

"Understand, the punishment hall and the legal hall are equivalent to one being a court and the other a procuratorate."

"It's basically the same. The Dharma Hall has a master and an envoy for rewards and punishments." He paused again. Liu Zhengjing was sorting out the duties of the previous halls and did not notice Lou Qian's pause.

"The spy hall, also called the spy group, as the name suggests, is responsible for the Hongmeng's espionage and has the position of hall leader. However, for thousands of years, the spy hall has cooperated more with the Yulong Gang and Baihua Society, and their intelligence has been duplicated, so now there are no spies.

The spy hall is divided into two, and the Fish Dragon Gang and Baihua Club each take one."

"The vote from the previous spy hall was automatically invalidated due to the disagreement between the Hundred Flowers Club and the Fish Dragon Gang."

"The financial hall is responsible for Hongmeng's main financial input. They lurk in the secular world and provide financial support to Hongmeng through various means. They set up hall masters and accountants."

"The auditorium is responsible for the Hongmeng's genealogy, ancestor worship, alliance ceremony, and etiquette inheritance. It is the most useless hall in the alliance. If there is a ceremony officer, they are all boring and conservative people."

Liu Zhengjing automatically classified this auditorium as conservative based on Lou Qian's tone.

"The school is responsible for recording the major events within the alliance, inheriting, studying, and promoting the martial arts, techniques, and art of war within the alliance. It is also responsible for the early childhood education and training of orphans. It is led by a master and a bachelor."

Liu Zhengjing thought of the school in Pingyang Town. I am afraid that this kind of school is not only found in Pingyang Town.

"The Yama Hall is responsible for assassinations, beheadings and some special wartime tasks. It is led by the Hall Master and the Deputy Hall Master. The Yama Hall left Hongmeng sixteen years ago, and there is no Yama Hall yet."

"The Yulong Gang is a mixture of fish and dragons. The purpose of its establishment is to unite all forces that can be united. The Yulong Gang will also accept organizations that surrender or surrender. There is only one leader, and the internal structure is determined by the leader. Today's Yulong Gang

The gang has the largest number of allies and has great autonomy. It is somewhere between the conservatives and the militant faction."

Liu Zhengzheng thought of the two fat men, one big and one small. Listening to Lou Qian's tone, he seemed to be extremely afraid of them.

"The Baihua Club is responsible for saving poor women in the world, wartime logistics, and medical care. It has jurisdiction over the Baihua Club, the spy group, and the medicine sect. In theory, it is also in charge of marriages within the alliance, and has the power to marry by force... By Hua Fei, Hua Fei Let the commander in chief.”

This is something Liu Zhengjing doesn't know. It's interesting. What will happen if Xiao Qiao forcibly marries him in the future? Will he be forced to accept it or will he be unable to resist?... It seems that he has already been married. His own mother arranged for him to marry Xiao Qiao. Is marriage just a matter of habit? No wonder Hongmeng approves of this marriage.

"The Council of Elders, meritorious children in the alliance, and retired senior officials can join. The Council of Elders has no real power, but it has the right to initiate arbitration. If it can get the consent of the thirteen hall leaders, it can even remove the general leader."

"Tiangong Pavilion is responsible for the creation, research and development and production of Hongmeng war weapons, magic weapons and weapons, and is directed by the Pavilion Master." After Lou Qian finished speaking, he quietly waited for Liu Zhengjing to digest it.

The thirteen sects of Hongmeng, the division of responsibilities, and the checks and balances of power are all very detailed and healthy. An organization that can be passed down for thousands of years is definitely not a simple structure.

From the perspective of the functions of the thirteen sects, the most powerful one is the main hall, which is responsible for the overall planning and coordination tasks, followed by the military hall, especially the military hall which is authorized by the general commander during wartime, and its actual control power can even exceed that of the main hall.

The other halls are indistinguishable. The financial hall, the law hall, and the punishment hall restrict each other and are in charge of the rewards and punishments and financial power of the Hong League.

Tiangong Pavilion, Baihuahui, and the spy group are more like logistics departments, with auxiliary functions.

The auditorium does not have much real power, but it can disgust people in certain aspects. The school is more like a Qingshui Yamen.

The most special ones should be the Yulong Gang and Yama Luotang. According to Lou Qian's story, the Yulong Gang should be considered the most powerful gang at present. Not only does it have the right to set up its own tasks within the gang, but it also has half of the spy team. In addition, Liu Zhengjing knew that the Yulong Gang was not short of money and had brothers all over the world.

If Hongmeng can be compared to a country with all five internal organs, then the Yulong Gang has grown into a feudal official, a country within a country.

As for Yan Luotang, based on the current strength of the Killer Alliance, it should be regarded as the sharpest knife in the Hong League.

"How many disciplines does the main war faction master now?"

Lou Qian didn't hide it, "There is the Soldier Hall and the Baihua Club. This year, the Yulong Gang and the Baihua Club have reached a consensus, so I will add two more votes from the Yulong Gang and the Spy Hall."

"That's only four votes. There's a big difference, brother."

"That's not the case. The conservatives actually only have the main hall, the auditorium, the school hall, the elder hall and the financial hall. The Xingtang and Tiangong Pavilion have abstained from voting all year round, and the Fatang and Yama Hall have not participated in it for many years."

The chief minister is a conservative. Liu Zhengjing recalled Lou Qian’s pause when he talked about sitting in the hall. It turns out that Zheng Da is a conservative. Doesn’t that mean he is at odds with the chief? It’s a bit complicated.

Liu Zhengjing summed it up, even if he and himself were added to represent the punishment hall this time, it would only be five versus five.

Lou Qian seemed to see his doubts and explained: "Your role is not just a vote in the execution hall. The Baihua Club was originally headed by Uncle Hua Wuchang and was a staunch fighting faction, but... Concubine Hua has already He has been missing for nearly two months. He is currently in charge of the Flower Envoy, and Miss Xiao Qiao...is a conservative."

Liu Zhengzheng understood that this was a beauty trick for himself. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qiao and Hua Wuchang were not of the same school. Then Liu Zhengzheng figured out that Xiao Qiao had a gentle personality and was raised by Zheng Da, so he was conservative. Pie is a given.

As for why Hua Wushang still let Xiao Qiao be the flower envoy, it might be because of the marriage arranged by Hua Wuyan. When he was in Daozhou, he had eavesdropped, crossed out, and overheard the conversation between Xiaocao and Xiao Qiao.

, Hua Wuyan passed the title of Concubine Hua to Hua Wuchang, and the requirement was that Xiao Qiao would marry Liu Zhengjing and inherit the title of Concubine Hua in the future.

As for how to ensure it, it may be another method.

Hua Wuchang wanted to cancel the marriage not only because of the dispute with Liu Sangeng, but also probably wanted to cancel Xiao Qiao's status as a flower envoy to prevent Baihua from becoming a conservative force in her future.

Therefore, when Zheng Da and others prevented Hua Wuchang from breaking the contract, it was not just to "make decisions for themselves."

Liu Zhengjing has figured out many things at this moment. Liu Sangeng died peacefully and Hongmeng did not take any drastic action. His master Zong Yong has not been involved in worldly affairs for sixteen years after being injured. I am afraid that some conservatives are also exerting their efforts.

Hongmeng is in deep trouble and has too many tricks.

(ps: This chapter was very tiring to write, and it took me three hours to finish it. On the surface, it is an explanation of the structure of the Thirteen Sects, but in fact it is related to many hidden clues and foreshadowings of the previous plots. This is what the Thirteen Sects have been holding back until now.

The reason for this is that the book has reached about 500,000 words, and most of the pitfalls have been filled in. This chapter is a summary of nearly half of it. The plot will be more compact later. Thank you for your support. It is first published on Zongheng Chinese website. Can you recommend some collections?)
