Pawn Crossing the River

Zhang Yuelu is coming back.

After all, the overall situation in Yujing has been decided, and there will be no trouble in the Western Region Taoist Mansion and the Kunlun Taoist Mansion. It would not make much sense for her to stay in the Western Region Taoist Mansion.

Moreover, Zhang Yuelu's position is the chief of Tiangang Hall, not the acting head of the Western Region Taoist Palace. His normal job is to stay in Yujing.

On the contrary, it was Qi Xuansu who had problems because he stayed in Yujing.

So the two of us always get together in a hurry. As soon as you come, I have to leave.

Qi Xuansu took Xiao Yin to pick up Zhang Yuelu. Along the way, Xiao Yin gave many instructions not to mention anything about her or let anything slip.

Qi Xuansu agreed casually, deliberately not telling the truth, and looked at Xiao Yin with anxious eyes, scratching his ears and heart, jumping up and down.

Arriving at the port outside Yujing City, Qi Xuansu clearly felt that his treatment had been improved again. Although he did not notify anyone in advance, the port authorities cleared the area for him and opened a special channel. His intention to please and flatter was almost obvious. superior.

Qi Xuansu accepted this arrangement.

Of course he could call the person in charge of the port over and give him a stern rebuke, saying that he would not follow suit next time and build a memorial for himself.

But Qi Xuansu does not reject this privilege.

If I didn't have this royal robe, how would the world know that I returned home rich and distinguished and that I was successful?

This is called not forgetting the original intention.

At that time, Qi Xuansu's biggest dream was to wear the Hui Sword, that is, to become a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, and he would be satisfied with being a Taoist priest. Therefore, his original intention is to stand out and strive for success. Is it to become a moral saint?

The realm is improved bit by bit, not all at once.

At least Qi Xuansu today is much better than Qi Xuansu in the past. He also knows how to care about the Taoist sect, not only caring about himself like before.

Maybe in a few decades, when Qi Xuansu reaches the age of sixty and really picks it up, he will learn to let it go. For example, when he becomes the Grand Master, he can take off his brocade clothes and put on the clothes of a ninth-grade Taoist priest to show that he doesn't like power and is dedicated to Taoism.

The key is that I haven't become a master yet.

Then this brocade garment cannot be taken off.

Soon, Zhang Yuelu's flying boat appeared in the sky and began to slowly descend.

Xiao Yin warned for the last time: "Lao Qi, we have agreed not to mention it to Lao Zhang."

"I know." Qi Xuansu finally gave the correct words, which made Xiao Yin feel relieved.

Along with the drizzle, the flying boat landed smoothly, setting off layers of blue waves.

Then he put down the gangway, and Zhang Yuelu's figure appeared at the end of the gangway.

Qi Xuansu patted Xiao Yin on the back: "It's your turn."

Xiao Yin began to slap her hands feebly, in a completely perfunctory manner: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

Happiness was written on his face.

It's as if the children have finished their vacation and want to devote themselves to happy and leisurely studies.

I'm so happy that I have to study again.

There are just a few people there, with only one child, Xiao Yin. After all, Yujing is an adult world in a literal sense.

Zhang Yuelu walked down the gangway and said angrily: "Which song are you two singing? Have you cleared the place?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I didn't give the order. Some people want to form a good relationship. I am doing good to others."

"You don't call it kindness to others, you call it harmony with light and dust, and you even enjoy it a little bit." Zhang Yuelu said through Qi Xuansu's thoughts.

Behind Zhang Yuelu was Lin Yuanmiao.

Qi Xuansu did not answer Zhang Yuelu's words, but took advantage of the situation to say hello to Lin Yuanmiao: "Thank you for your hard work, Old Lin."

Zhang Yuelu didn't want to say anything more. There should be some room between husband and wife. Qi Xuansu obviously didn't like to hear this. Qi Xuansu was not Xiao Yin. How could she teach him a lesson by pulling his ears?

The marriage of high-level Taoists is nothing more than the following situations.

The first type is stupid people matching stupid people. Basically, all kinds of weird things are done by these people, and the elders have to come out to wipe the butt every time.

The second type is a match between smart people and smart people, but no one looks down on the other, or they can't get along. On the surface, they treat each other as if they were guests, but in fact, they all play their own roles.

The third type is when husband and wife work together and focus on making progress. Usually one party is responsible for the struggle, and the other party is responsible for assisting. If the person responsible for the struggle fails, he may even commit suicide to save the family. That is to say, behind every successful man there is a woman. If the party responsible for the struggle cannot think of changing wives, then the other party can blow up the faction.

The situation of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu is quite special. They are the second and third type of combination. The husband and wife work together, but there is no obvious support. Zhang Yuelu also has his own career and has never stood behind Qi Xuansu and been a good wife. However, Qi Xuansu is obviously progressing faster, so Qi Xuansu should still be the main player.

At their point, the Taoist status also determines the family status, and the two are unified.

In fact, this is not only true for couples, but also for mothers and children.

Take the emperor for example. If the queen mother's family status is higher, then the queen mother must have more power than the emperor, and the emperor is just a puppet. If the emperor has real power, then the emperor must be the one who makes the decision in the family, and the queen mother also demands the emperor.

Therefore, no matter how strong Zhang Yuelu is, he can't force Qi Xuansu. He can only say that the husband and wife respect each other, communicate as equals, and negotiate solutions.

Now Qi Xuansu is obviously avoiding this issue, and Zhang Yuelu is also helpless.

After Qi Xuansu said hello to Lin Yuanmiao, he cleverly changed the topic: "As soon as Master Ziji left, you came back. Unfortunately, you didn't see Master Ziji. By the way, there is one more thing, Jiang Da If the real person decides to ascend, it will happen this year.”

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Master Jiang Da is going to ascend? Are you too anxious?"

Qi Xuansu sighed: "I think so too, but Master Jiang Dazhen has made up his mind to leave, and the Grand Master expressed his agreement in principle. It's a done deal."

Zhang Yuelu thought for a while and asked, "What else?"

Qi Xuansu motioned to go to the car to talk.

After a group of people got on the bus, Qi Xuansu said: "There are three things a new official should do when he takes office, and the Grand Master has decided to light the first one."

Zhang Yuelu was still sensitive, so he immediately asked: "Where is the burn?"

Qi Xuansu said softly: "The Great Master of the Five Dynasties."

Zhang Yuelu's face became solemn.

The Fifth-generation Grandmaster replaced the three deputy Grandmasters, and his power reached its peak. However, after the Fifth-generation Grandmaster ascended, he also ushered in the most brutal counterattack.

To put it simply, the Fifth-generation Grandmaster was completely negated by the Sixth-generation Grandmaster. This was one of the few things that the Sixth-generation Grandmaster did.

However, he did not completely deny it, because the Fifth Generation Grand Master had made too great a contribution and was afraid of shaking the foundation of the Taoist sect, so he was stopped at the last moment.

But it did not overturn the previous denial.

Not moving up or down, frozen there, being treated coldly.

From an official level of the Taoist sect, the Five Dynasties Grand Master has yet to come to a conclusion.

The Sixth Generation Grand Master also did not conclude the matter.

Many comments about these two great masters are private opinions of everyone and cannot represent the Taoist sect.

Taoism's evaluation will be recorded in the history books.

Now that the Seventh Generation Grandmaster wants to make a fuss about the Fifth Generation Grandmaster's affairs, that means the coffin has to be finalized.

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but ask: "What specific aspect is it?"

Qi Xuansu uttered two words: "Overturn the verdict."

Zhang Yuelu felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable, and thought for a moment: "Is it too impatient? The Third Division is still here."

Qi Xuansu said: "This is also the wish of Master Jiang Dazhen. He will do his best to promote this matter before ascending. If the third division has any objections, then he will directly come forward to support him. In Jiang Dazhen's own words, he will immediately ascend. People, there is nothing to be afraid of. The Third Division cannot kill Master Jiang and then destroy the Chief Master because of this matter. The Third Division is no longer monolithic and will probably acquiesce. "

Zhang Yuelu nodded.

On the second day after Zhang Yuelu returned to Yujing, the Grand Master held the first Golden Palace meeting after his ascension to the throne, and all the masters were required to participate.

According to the usual practice, this meeting is a summary of the previous Grand Master, similar to the new emperor's enthronement and the naming of the temple and posthumous title to the Daxing Emperor. However, this time the situation is quite special. The Sixth Generation Grand Master did not complete the review of the Fifth Generation Grand Master. evaluation, so we must first sort it out from the Fifth Generation Grand Master.

At the meeting, the Grand Master said: "If you don't talk about some historical issues and keep it secret, others will talk about it, and the power of interpretation will fall into their hands. They can distort and fabricate at will, or even slander us. . So we have to talk every day, every month, every year. The more we talk, the clearer we become. There must be no ambiguity.”
