The political system of the Han and Tang empires was governed by sages and a patriarchal system. In fact, this is also the result of a compromise between the forces of all parties.

In the last imperial election, a new round of compromise results was elected. The five imperial patriarchs were: Confucian Cheng Keji, military Li Guishi, Shi Jia Shi Deadwood, Legalist Li Guishu, and Taoist Huang Houde.

Li Guishu urgently initiated a parents' meeting, and as usual, only three of the five parents came. The Deadwood Master in the Buddhist world has never participated in the specific management of the empire, and he will only come to the parents' meeting unless it involves some basic national policies in the Buddhist world. Li Guishi of the military will not participate as long as it does not involve the military or war.

Therefore, this parent meeting is still only attended by Cheng Keji, Li Guishu, and Huang Houde.

The confidentiality level of this parent-teacher conference is top secret. It mainly studies three issues: 1. The gate of hell in Daizong Mountain. Second, the Sang family in Yangzhou. 3. The martyrdom hall of the ghost country.

First of all, the first question, the gate of hell in Daizong Mountain. According to Huang Houde's follow-up investigation of the Fengdu Town incident, the gates of hell do exist. Moreover, the people of the Shinto Sect of the Oni Country have opened the gates of hell. Now the entire Taoist community has been mobilized to blockade Daizong Mountain, but the effect is not good, or the symptoms are not cured.

"Lingbao Sanlao's reinforcements are not in place?" Cheng Keji asked nervously when he saw Huang Houde's sad face.

"It arrived three days ago. However, now that the entire Daizong Mountain is dark, they are just a drop in the bucket. Huang Houde said truthfully.

Cheng Keji was silent after hearing this, but Xun Bugou behind him said anxiously: "It is recommended to invite Master Deadwood and Dao Buddha to join forces to solve the crisis of Daizong Mountain." Everyone nodded their heads.

Then there is the second question, Yangzhou Sangjia. Li Guishu reported that Yang Xingyan used the Three Flames Great Array to mistakenly kill Saito Kazuka. This Saito Kazuka, although he was a member of the ghost country before, has now joined the Han and Tang Dynasties and registered his marriage with Sang Tianxia. Now Sang Tianxia directly sues the entire Taiping Bureau in court, which is very tricky.

After everyone listened to Li Guishu's report, they were silent. Sang Tianxia is not wrong, but if Yang Xingyan is executed according to the law again, then the entire Taiping Bureau will probably blow up. But the Sang family in Yangzhou is rich and rivals the country, and it is very difficult to provoke. Moreover, as Lu Xinwu proposed, once the government agencies do not follow the law, it will hurt the entire country.

Just when Li Guishu was anxious and couldn't find a countermeasure, and Cheng Keji and Huang Houde didn't say a word again, looking like they were doing business, Chen Qitian behind Li Guishu stood up, hugged his fists and said to Xun Bugou behind Cheng Keji: "Master Xun, I have to trouble you to go to Yangzhou in person, first appease Sang Liujin, and wait for the matter of Daizongshan to be dealt with, it is not too late to kill Yang Xingyan!"

Chen Qitian is Li Guishu's think tank, so he was able to attend the parents' meeting and speak like Xun Bugou. Xun Bulu listened, and the muscles on his face shook slightly. But before he could speak, Cheng Keji directly refused, saying that the Yangzhou Sang family was a member of the Legalist family, and it would be more appropriate for someone from the Legalist family to mediate.

For a moment, the atmosphere froze. Li Guishu rolled his eyes and threw out the third question. The martyrdom hall of the ghost country has now been killed against the Taiping Bureau. The Martyrdom Hall is a member of the New Tang Sect of the Ghost Country, and the New Tang Sect has always been an ally. has been co-opted by the Han and Tang Empires to deal with the Ghost Country Shinto Sect, such a state of affairs, I am afraid that the alliance relationship will break down, and then the loss will be great.

At this time, both the Confucian think tank Xun Bugou and the Legalist think tank Chen Qitian suggested that stability should be maintained immediately and peace talks should be held. The situation cannot be allowed to deteriorate. How to negotiate peace? Everyone immediately thought of the envoy of the Ghost Country to Han, Miyamoto Jushiro. Yes, I will talk to him, he is the plenipotentiary envoy of the ghost country to the Han and Tang Empires, and he is a member of the New Tang Sect, an old friend.

However, there is another controversy over who to let go to the peace talks. Cheng Keji said that the Cultural Affairs Bureau is responsible for cultural and educational diplomacy, and asked the Director of Cultural Affairs Bureau, Shen Yijiao, to talk about it. Li Guishu said that it was okay for Shen Yijiao to talk, but he couldn't show sincerity. I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve the desired results. Therefore, it is recommended that Cheng Keji personally talk about it.

In short, it's another parent-teacher meeting that calculates and prevaricates with each other. Although Cheng Keji is the eldest of the five patriarchs of the empire, Li Guishu obviously actually controls the major power centers of the empire, and holds Li Guishi and himself in his hands, two votes. Cheng Keji also worked hard to win Huang Houde, but how good Huang Houde's Tai Chi is played, he neither supports Cheng Keji nor Li Guishu. In this way, he was not offended by either side, and both sides kept fighting for him.

However, if something happens, it must be resolved. That's compromise!

The result of the compromise was: Huang Houde personally handled the matter of Daizong Mountain, and Buddhism and Taoism united to solve the crisis. The affairs of the Sang family in Yangzhou will be solved by the Taiping Bureau itself. In the ghost country martyrdom hall, Confucianism came forward to negotiate peace. It is equivalent to saying that there are three tricky things, one for each family, no one should take advantage of it, and no one should suffer a loss.

After the discussion of the three issues, he was about to adjourn the meeting, when Li Guishu suddenly raised another personnel issue. He suggested that Wang Dinghe be absorbed into the Taiping Bureau. Huang Houde, who had just stood up, said leisurely: "The Taiping Bureau has entered the people, isn't it a matter of your Lord Li's words, can you mention it for discussion at the parent-teacher meeting?"

Cheng Keji was reluctant when he heard it, only to see him say coldly: "The country's policy is that whoever enters the country must take the exam." Of course, the Taiping Bureau is more special in employing people, but at least in the form, you have to go!" Obviously, during his tenure, he could not allow Li Guishu to casually enter the state institutions. As for Li Guishu's purging transfer of various functional departments of the empire before the imperial election, that was something he couldn't control at that time. Now, this can't happen again, never!

Huang Houde went to Daizong Mountain in person, and Xun Bugou went directly to Miyamoto Thirteen Lang, let's not mention it for the time being. How can the Taiping Bureau solve the matter of the Sang family in Yangzhou? Yang Qitian's suggestion is, one word: drag!

Now, didn't Sang Tianxia sue the entire Taiping Bureau? Then go directly to the legal process and let the court make a fair judgment. The result must be that the Taiping Bureau did not give Yang Xingyan an order to kill, and the killing was his personal act. When Sang Tianxia sues Yang Xingyan again, things will be much easier to solve.

Hearing this, Li Guishu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No! You can't say that, everyone's personal behavior in the Taiping Bureau is an act of the state. "The last time Lei Jiuxiao was publicly executed, it already hurt the hearts of the world, and this time I can't cut off my siblings again.

When Chen Qitian saw that he was so resolute, he no longer insisted, but said comfortingly: "Then let's leave it alone for now, and see how the court decides! Anyway, the whole procedure can be delayed for three months at the slatest." In these three months, we will think about it in the long run!"
