Taiping Inn

Although Li Xuandu has made great progress in integrating the Taoist sect, because of the short time, the Taoist sect is still just a loose alliance, and Li Xuandu has only suppressed the open opposition voices. There are still many factions within the Taoist sect.

In this case, the people in the Taoist sect will not have a profound concept of Taoist sect, nor will they think of Taoist sect, but rather of the sect they came from. From the perspective of the Qingweizong, entering the pass in Liaodong is indeed not a good thing. It not only ruined the years of hard work in the imperial capital, but also the Butianzong will fill this gap, which will add to the increase. In the meantime, Butian Sect, which was originally slightly weaker than Qingwei Sect, will surpass Qingwei Sect.

If Liaodong can establish a country, the status of Longcheng Qin will be similar to that of today's Zhongli Xu. Then in many years to come, the Qingwei Sect may continue to weaken, and the Butian Sect will continue to grow stronger. After all, it will not grow under the tree. tree. One of them will grow and the other will decline. One day, it may be that Qingwei Sect will become an affiliate of Butian Sect.

This possibility cannot be said to be inevitable, but it is not an unreasonable worry.

Some people may say that Li Xuan would not sit still and watch this happen.

But only Li Xuan himself knows what Li Xuan thinks. In the eyes of outsiders, it is true that Li Xuan was expelled from the sect, and it is true that he became the son-in-law of the Qin family and took advantage of the Qin family's power to make a comeback. In this case, it is almost inevitable that Li Xuan would help Bu Tian Sect. In order to show off and prove the truth that "thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, Hexi do not bully young people poor", they will even deliberately suppress Qingweizong, and then the situation of Qingweizong will be even worse.

Instead of waiting until Qingwei Sect has no chance of winning before struggling to death, it is better to make plans while still having the advantage.

Instead of putting his destiny in the hands of the unpredictable Li Xuandu, it is better to take it into his own hands.

This is the true thoughts of many people from the Qingwei Sect.

This is also because no one has ever mentioned this in front of Li Xuandu. Who knows what Li Xuandu thinks? Who knows whether Li Xuan is inclined to the Qingwei Sect or the Butian Sect? If you say the wrong thing and disobey Li Xuandu's wishes, wouldn't you cause trouble? Even if Li Xuan doesn’t care, will there be a young lady Qin be resented by Miss Qin? The winds in the southeast, west and north are not as good as the wind by the pillow. Although this wind is small, it hits people's bone marrow, making people succeed and fail.

Lu Yanbing observed Li Xuandu's face and said softly: "There is a saying, "Thirty years from Hedong, thirty years from Hexi, don't bully the young man poor." Senior brother, what do you think? Can you please let me know Is it a bottom?”

Li Xuan frowned. He knew that Lu Yanbing could ask this sentence, so he must have been very courageous. It also means that more than she was going to ask this, so he couldn't help but answer, so he said slowly: "The so-called Jiangshan." , it is called the river, not the actual river. The ancients called the river a river, and the long river was called the river, and it was also called the "river". The river was clear and the long river was turbid. An ancient proverb says, "The sage came out, the long river was clear." But when will the long river be clear? Pass? A long river has been flooded forever, with many sands and silt, changing constantly, and changing paths many times. A certain place was originally on the east side of the river. After several years, due to the water flow of the long river, this place will become west of the river. The sentence is a metaphor for the rise and fall of people and things, and the change is impermanent, and sometimes it will change to the opposite side, and the feng shui turns around, and the world will change without constant changes. So don’t bully a young man when he sees poor now. That is, one time and another time."

Lu Yanbing waits for the following article.

Li Xuandu continued, "The so-called 'Don't bully the young man', the 'young man' among them naturally refers to me. Not to mention that I am not a teenager, even if I am a teenager, I don't think I have been bullied by anyone. There is no need to take revenge on anyone. Just as I came to the imperial capital today, not for a temporary struggle for the intent, but for justice for the Zhang family back then. This matter cannot be generalized with my expelled from the master. My master told me at the beginning Exiting from the sect does not violate the rules of the Qingwei Sect. I also agree with it and there is no indignation. So now you ask me what I think, I can only answer you, I will not favor the Qingwei Sect. I will not favor Qingweizong either."

Lu Yanbing couldn't help asking, "Although the senior brother said that they would not help each other, since the senior brother supported Liaodong's entry into the pass, then the senior brother would also help Butian Sect if he didn't help Butian Sect. If he didn't suppress Qingwei Sect, he would also suppress Qingwei Sect."

After hearing this, Li Xuandu not only did not think it was offended, but also looked at Lu Yanbing with praise, "This is like what the lord of a sect should say. Indeed, if I support Liaodong to enter the pass, it is also helping, but I don't care about me. If Butian Sect wants to expand, it will inevitably have direct conflict with the Qingwei Sect, which is closest to Liaodong. It is said that there is a long and close attack, so it is inevitable that Butian Sect will have a good relationship with Cihang Sect, which is far away in Jiangnan, and will have a direct conflict with Qingwei Sect. The conflict is inevitable. The reason why the two sides maintain peace in the situation is because there is still a barrier between the court, the foreign enemies such as the five northwest sects, and the great enemy of the Confucian sect. If these obstacles do not exist, it is because of Zhengyi When the sect declines and cannot maintain the three-legged squad, the Qingwei Sect and the Butian Sect will inevitably have a two-strong fight. "

Lu Yanbing said, "It turns out that my senior brother is thinking so clearly, but I'm too much."

Li Xuandu shook his head, "You asked me to prove one thing. Master may not care about other things, but this is the exception. However, Qingweizong was his lifelong effort, and it was him who brought Qingweizong to this. Height, his feelings for Qingwei Sect may be deeper than all of us.”

Lu Yanbing was silent.

Li Xuandu whispered: "This is a difficult problem. Master may still be watching my attitude, to see if I prefer my father-in-law? Or my father-in-law?"

Lu Yanbing couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing at?" Li Xuan looked at her.

Lu Yanbing said, "This reminds me of the dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Is the husband looking towards the daughter-in-law? Or to the mother? Looking towards the mother, the daughter-in-law will feel that she is wronged. She is an outsider in this family, and the mother and son join forces to bully themselves. My mother, I will feel that my son has been raised in vain. I forgot my mother with a wife and is an ungrateful wolf. If we don’t help each other, it will be unpleasant. So the man in the middle is in a dilemma. It's wrong."

Li Xuandu also laughed, "This example is interesting. Indeed, it is a situation where I don't help each other, but I'm not afraid of offending anyone. I have my own considerations and ideas."

Lu Yanbing asked curiously: "What do you plan to do with your senior brother?"

Li Xuandu said: "Further integrate the Taoist sect, so that the Taoist sect is no longer a fancy, but a Taoist sect that truly controls the power of life and death in the sect. A great master, three great real people, and thirty-two real people, together, The major decision to make the Dao Sect.”

Lu Yanbing couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Xuandu continued, "You said just now, this is like a dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I don't deny it. My solution is also very simple, use rules to suppress it. The country has national laws, the family has family rules, and there are clans in the local area. They all say It is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs, but there must be an argument for family affairs. Who will make a decision? The clan will make a decision. Whether it is a dispute between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law or brothers, the Taoist sect is a clan, which is maintained by the clan. No one can act beyond the rules.”

Lu Yanbing was silent for a long time before saying, "This is not a clan, each clan is a state, the Taoist sect is the court, the Taoist sect is the unification of the world, and the great sect is the emperor."

Li Xuan did not deny that "the battle between good and evil has lasted for thousands of years, just like the world is divided into pieces, with the powerful people from all over the world fighting each other, and years of war, and the lives are in trouble. The best way to deal with this situation is to achieve great unification and end this fragmented situation. Unify.”

Lu Yanbing suddenly understood why the third senior brother Li Yuanying would say that the fourth senior brother Li Xuandu was too big, it was indeed too big. Even the holy kings and great masters of the past dared not put them into practice. Just be the leader of the righteous or evil leader, but when you think of Li Xuandu's age, he is not so bold, but it seems like it is natural.

However, just as Li Yuanying said, if you are too big, you will hurt yourself if you are not careful, but you must observe it.

Lu Yanbing knew that Li Xuan was not just a simple matter of giving him a clear understanding, but it could be said that he had a heart-to-heart relationship. His years of brother-sister relationships surged in his heart and no longer hid them. He said bluntly: "Senior brother has a good idea, but it is even more beneficial." In Qianqiu, the key now is that it is not a matter of real unity between Taoists and the Taoists. The matter of the imperial capital is approaching, and the master has only 20 years left, and this kind of thing is the first to take action. , and then the attack will be controlled by others. If one step is slow, every step will be slow. The master will not wait until the senior brother completely integrates the Taoist sect and makes decisions, so the senior brother must give the master an attitude in a short time."

Li Xuandu sighed: "This matter is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do. What I said is still empty talk. Master will not change his thoughts and decisions just by a few words of mine."

Lu Yanbing said, "Then... the senior brother has made a decision."

Li Xuandu said: "Not making decisions is actually a decision, and no attitude is also an attitude."

Lu Yanbing already understood everything, but she didn't care too much. She appeared in the Qizhou Guild Hall and had a deep conversation with Li Xuandu, which also showed that she had expressed her attitude with practical actions.

Li Xuandu continued: "Master will not change what I believe because of my attitude. Similarly, I will not change because of my attitude. I will make a decision after careful consideration. This is the last time we clashed. origin."

Lu Yanbing was silent.

Li Xuandu said with gaze: "If a father fights for his son, he will not fall into unjustness. Therefore, if he should be unjust, the son should not fight against his father, and the ministers should not fight against the king. Therefore, if he should be unjust, he will fight against him and follow his father. How can I be filial to you?”
