The participants of the Merit Pagoda meeting agreed that no matter how hard the Holy Envoy's head was, it was better not to hit Jiang Shizun's boss, but Xiao Xiaoxiao's fruit still had to be picked, and the Shangqing Palace Legion was also eager to whitewash a group of people. After washing a group of people, you can continue to pick fruits along Xiao Xiaoxiao's line, but the movement can't be too big.

There are private instruments, and there are naturally office instruments, and the numbers are fixed, and a virtual character jumps out as soon as it is connected, so as to avoid fake orders. Hu Shandiao knows this person, the minister of the city seat of the city seat is called "Tibetan Leopard", the fame is really domineering, and the minister of Zangyi said that the city seat invited Hu Tingzuo to go to the city office.

There is a teleportation array between the yamen, which is convenient for the boss to check whether he has done his duty at any time, so the meeting is very fast, and the seat of the city is called "Gu Zhongqian", the level of the Qifang Attractor, who is 47 years old, and is an outstanding disciple of Gu Valve. This is not the first time the two have met, before taking office, Jiang Chao first took Hu Shandiao to visit Gu Zhongqian, so although the two only have one side, they also know each other's roots.

Gu Zhongqian didn't say hello and went straight to the point, he pushed a briefcase to Hu Shandiao, and after Hu Shandiao opened it, he knew that Gu Shizuo was looking for himself this time. The briefcase contains detailed information about the Nine Directions of the Guiding Mansion, but this Guiding Nine Directions died the day before yesterday, and since he is an "official of the Imperial Court", the posthumous affairs cannot be handled by his family but by the "Hall of Etiquette and History"

The official rank of the Rong court is "Pi, Wei, School, Governor, General, Town, Hou, Gong, Wang", and the official rank of the court is "official, Cao, Cheng, Yin, Ling, Shou, Shilang, Thorn Shi, Prime Minister". Those who are qualified to let the "auditorium" perform ceremonies are the official ranks of "general and order" or above.

Xu Boran is the end of his life in the nine sides of the palace, his official rank is the history of the assassin, the authority is the "six party feudal power", a native of Beijing, born in the ninth era of the Xuanli calendar 9120, died in the tenth era of the Xuanli calendar in 2024, Shouyuan 2904. The Jiufang Consummation Yuan Force value is 299990, which means that 2999 years can be added to the original lifespan, Xu Boran obviously did not live to be a full year, and basically no one can live to a full age.

Rong has a funeral, there is a funeral, Xu Boran chose to become an official of the court, and his posthumous affairs will be held according to the "funeral ceremony". The hall needs to make a budget first, and the budget means that the process of "funeral" related ceremonies involves personnel, ritual offerings, clothing, flags, etc., and the specifications need to be treated rigorously.

Hu Shandiao thinks that someone is trying to make trouble, because although this matter is in the hands of the "Rite Hall", the Rite Hall has been in power for many years, and most of its powers have been usurped. Authority contains sealing power, scepter, power, authority, limited power, authority has a time limit, the so-called "right not to use, expired invalid" is to talk about authority, authority is also the only authority that is relatively easy to obtain.

Whether it is a feud, a scepter, a magnate or a limited power, the conditions for obtaining it are relatively harsh, and the number of other four types of authority combined is less than one-tenth of the number of power holders compared to the number of power holders. Therefore, all departments attach great importance to their own functions and powers, and once there is a "crossing the line," it will inevitably cause an uproar.

If a department cannot hold its own authority, it means that the department has fallen, and it has become a fat sheep, and a slightly stronger department can usurp the authority of this department at will, and then form a routine.

Gu Shizuo didn't know that Hu Shandiao turned his mind to conspiracy and trickery, if he knew, he would definitely take a sip, he was helping the hall to support, if it weren't for Hu Shandiao is noble from the Jiang clan, coupled with the strength shown by Jiang Chaoxian first, he would not have come out to stand in battle.

Hu Shandiao also quickly changed his mind, it is not necessarily that someone is making trouble, it may also be that the adults in the city want to support him, and the next conversation confirmed this. Hu Shandiao is clear about the etiquette and law, and after the evolution of "all words and Xuantong", he got a detailed draft in his mind, but he couldn't deliver it on the spot.

The nine-character mantra Xuantong has many anti-heaven features, one of which is that it can break through various prohibitions and exert it, just like the important places of the city government, especially the city office, are all prohibited and laid out with the effect of "prohibiting Xuantong". But the city seat himself wears a mysterious weapon that is not affected by the ban, so once someone wants to carry out assassination in this kind of place, the city seat can fight a hundred.

Naturally, the hall also has relevant prohibitions, and the consumption of maintaining these prohibitions is the subsidy of the Municipal Finance Department, but the subsidy of the auditorium has been divided, these old things, Hu Shandiao did not pay attention to them, he found an opportunity to make trouble. Hu Shandiao ordered someone to check the "funeral" data, and found that since 1017, the hall no longer has the authority of "funeral", and Hu Shandiao was immediately happy.

Through the relationship of Jiang Chaoxian, Hu Shandiao and the rest of the prefecture and city of the ceremonial hall "exchange", to get general data but enough, from the ministry of seven prefectures dozens of city halls at about the same time lost the "funeral" authority, Hu Shandiao is even more happy to dance.

What does this mean?

It shows that those big guys died in accordance with etiquette! In other words, it is not decent enough, for example, Xu Boran is an assassin official, his coffin must be a "blessed land-level" mysterious weapon, and his funeral goods, tombs, etc. are of high specifications. But as long as you check it, you can know that the "funerals" without the ceremonial hall are cutting corners.

This alone makes Hu Shandiao make trouble, not to mention, for more than a thousand years, generals and commanders, and even higher-level town army generals and Taishou, their funerals were not only not held according to the "ceremony", but even the subsidies were deducted.

The hall is in charge of 17 kinds of functions, such as household registration, etiquette (including weddings and funerals, birthdays, etc.), geography, humanities (traditional festivals), etc.

The household registration authority belongs to the cornerstone of the ceremonial hall, that is, the authority that cannot be snatched away, and the function of the ceremonial hall can be maintained because this authority cannot be snatched away. Without the birth tracking record of the hall, the baby cannot obtain the instrument, and without the death notice of the hall, the descendants of the deceased cannot receive the inheritance, so the room for operation of this authority is also very large.

Hu Shandiao ordered people, no, he personally went to the archives of the ceremonial hall and packed a large number of archives with "photocopy stones", these archives are high-ranking officials who have died in the mansion for more than a thousand years. Xu Boran is the place of residence in the city of Xufu, the place of his death is here, and the funeral is under the management of the ceremonial hall of the city of Xufu, if he dies in a city of Jiefu, even if he settles in the city, his posthumous affairs are under the management of the Jiefu government.

There are not many high-ranking officials who have died in the past thousand years, and there is only one high-ranking official like Xu Boran, including 4 general-level officers, 6 commander-level senior officials, 1 general-level officer of the town army, and 2 high-ranking officials of the Taishou level. These high-ranking officials are all from the palace, and it is also very convenient for Hu Shandiao to visit, and he also has Jiang Chaoxian, a "knocker", and he will not be rejected when they meet.

Even so, there are 1,766 laws of the present day, of which 60 are the laws of rituals. Even if you want to store the information in the soul moon, the premise must also be to integrate it, that is, to "understand and understand", then, if you want to integrate and penetrate the 1766 total number of mystical laws, it is not only a matter of time, but also needs to be practiced.

Therefore, it is impossible for the entire Xuanlu to find someone like Hu Shandiao who has put the Xuanlu into his "life weapon", let alone to store it in the soul moon after integrating it, so the descendants of these high-ranking officials that Hu Shandiao is looking for do not know that they have been deceived.

When Hu Shandiao listed the rules of etiquette, indicating how undignified your dead grandfather or ancestor was, the descendants of these high-ranking officials flipped the table angrily. Despite the death of their backers, who doesn't have a few friends and family? Besides, what high-ranking official is not afraid of such a "rudeness" after his death?

Gu Zhongqian Gu Shizuo didn't expect Hu Shandiao to play such a combination of punches, his original intention was just to push Hu Shandiao, as for the result, he didn't care. In Gu Shizuo's view, even if he handed over Xu Boran's "funeral" to Hu Shandiao, Hu Shandiao would not be able to cope with the siege of those powerful departments, and in the end, he would still have to give up the "Xu Boran" funeral.

Perhaps, these powerful departments will look at the face of Li Jiang Xungui and Jiang Chaoxian and give Hu Shandiao some soup to drink, but the current situation is that Hu Shandiao not only drank the soup and ate the meat in one gulp, but also took the "meat farm" back.

Gu Zhongqian was able to arrange Xu Boran's "funeral", which shows that he is proficient in "etiquette", and he is naturally not worried that his posthumous affairs will not be "decent". In fact, the clan and the family have their own set of "etiquette chapters", and the etiquette officials usually start or pick up the omissions, but Hu Shandiao's penetration of etiquette and law still surprised Gu Boqian.

"Is it really such a faux pas?"

"Hey, I'm here, if you don't believe me, I'll show you the rules of etiquette."

Gu Zhongqian waved his hand and said that he would not look at it for the time being, let's talk about the matter of "courtesy".

The so-called "etiquette" refers to the fact that Hu Shandiao united the descendants of the "rude" who died for more than 1,000 years to go to several departments such as the "Greedy Hanging Hall, Fushou Hall, and the Noble Hall" to complain. The Greedy Hall is anti-corruption, the Fushou Hall is a welfare institution, and the Gui and Cheap Hall is an authority management body, and these yamen are closely related to the "funeral".

The troublemakers are not only the descendants of those who have died, but also their relatives and friends, as well as some high-ranking officials who are worried that they will be rude after their deaths.

"How else can it be solved? If you really want to go to court, can you win the lawsuit? "The lord of the city already believes that Hu Shandiao knows the etiquette law well, which means that even if you hire the most powerful etiquette lawyer, you may not be able to distinguish Hu Shandiao. Besides, Hu Shandiao not only has full evidence, but also a large number of high-status witnesses, and the winning face can be said to be nine out of nine.

Several hall seats were a little puzzled when they heard this, and the greedy hall hall seat frowned and said, "The city seat, the usurpation of the authority of the hall has nothing to do with our hall", and the rest of the hall seats all nodded, their own authority is not much, but the authority is also important, and they are all heavyweight institutions, and the authority of the hall is not attractive to them.

Gu Zhongqian actually didn't know which departments usurped the authority of the ceremonial hall, for him, stability and harmony are political achievements, he has an elder of Emperor Lu, as long as there are no major problems during his tenure, there is no problem to go further. Of course, this does not mean that Gu Zhongqian is a decoration in Kufu City, Kufu is the territory of the Gu valve of the Lijiao clan, and no one dares to despise him Gu Zhongqian.

"Which departments usurped the authority of the auditorium?"

The hall seat present could not answer this question, Gu Shizuo called the spy hall (army) with a tongyi, although the ritual is divided into two chambers, but some institutions are on two boats. In fact, the real Rong army is all banner legions, such as the Lijin Army, and there are two in-laws such as the spy army and the anti-Rong army, and it depends on the decision of the top leaders.

The spy hall of Yufu City said that he listened to his father, who called himself on someone else's territory, and he also had an elder of Emperor Lu to support him? The latter is actually not a concern, the former is the main factor, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the spy hall seat is also very fast, it is impossible for him not to know the recent "courtesy" incident, and he has also made preparations before coming.

Gu Zhongqian flipped through the information in his hand, there were a total of 5 departments that usurped the authority of the auditorium, but these 5 departments are not considered heavy departments, what made Gu Zhongqian frown was that usurpation was a common situation, but it all occurred between departments with overlapping powers, and it was strange that there was no overlap between the powers of the 5 departments that usurped the powers of the auditorium.

Seeing that the adults in the city were frowning, he knew that the big guy didn't see the trick, so he made a move that surprised the people present, he operated his own equipment, and a virtual architectural drawing appeared in front of everyone. After a few clicks, those present also found that this was the internal architectural drawing of the city government's yamen, and the last enlarged seat of the spy hall was an office.

Gu Zhongqian frowned, this office belongs to Gu Zhongli, Gu Zhongli is his cousin, and his position is the deputy city seat of Yufu City, and he is in charge of several departments that are not too important.

"Huh?" Gu Zhongqian understood, the five departments that usurped the hall were in charge of Gu Zhongli, "Time", Gu Shizao asked softly, although it could not be said that Gu Shizao was the hardcore of the team, he was also in this team, and he knew that the softer Gu Shizao was, the heavier the anger.

The usurpation of the auditorium is not a year or two years, let alone a hundred years, but more than a thousand years, and the time span is relatively long, but this is the norm in Xuanlu, who tells the monks to live hundreds or thousands of years old at every turn.

"The city seat, the deputy city seat is the appointment and removal system", the spy hall seat reminded, his answer was not related to the question of the city seat, but Gu Zhongqian understood, the Yu Mansion is the territory of the Gu family, and the appointment and removal system makes the children of the clan valve get a good position, and the seat of the deputy city seat of the Yu Mansion City has always been Gu Zhongli's family.

In other words, Gu Zhongli's family was the deputy seat of Yufu City more than a thousand years ago, and then fully controlled the five marginal yamen and then usurped their power when the power of the hall was in power. The struggle for power is also the norm in the Xuanlu Sect, and no one will think that their authority is not great, but power does not depend on words but on actions.

For example, the spy and the police fight for the "right to public security", and the spy says that it is useless for me to have the power to enforce public security, and the spy army must vigorously carry out public security rectification, set up public security posts, and change the people's understanding.

Of course, the power of public order is the cornerstone of the police army and cannot be usurped, while the spy and the police belong to the two yamen with a lot of overlapping powers, and the competition for power is very serious. But those five departments do not have any overlap with the auditorium, and they have been operating for more than a thousand years, so Gu Zhongqian also attaches importance to them.

The matter of etiquette suddenly turned into an internal battle among Gu Valve, and the seats present looked at each other and said goodbye, Gu Zhongqian nodded, and after everyone left, he summoned Gu Zhongli to the office, threw out a bunch of materials straight to the point, and asked softly, what are you going to do in the next family?

The valve, one more valve, one valve many, the elders will discuss the affairs of the valves, and the elders will discuss the affairs of the families.

Gu valve is the main valve of the Lijiao clan (clan), and there are many families inside, because the surnames are the same, the family is generally prefixed with the place of settlement. The habitat of the family where Gu Zhongli is located is "Xiaqiao County", which is also known as the Gu Valve Xiajia family, and the full name is the Gu Valve Xiajia of the Lijiao clan.

Gu Zhongli is also well-informed, and the "courtesy" is especially on the "Departure Hot Spot", for a person like him, the "Departure Hot Spot" is a must-see every day. Therefore, Gu Zhongli did not have any luck, but he gritted his teeth with hatred for the hall and Hu Shandiao.

"The county doesn't give it, the district doesn't give it, what do you say our family is going to do?" Gu Zhongli also knew the temper of this cousin, and he knew that he was very angry when he heard his tone so gentle, and he didn't dare to tell his family's intentions directly, and his tone was still extremely resentful.

"How?" Gu Zhongqian asked rhetorically.

The family is big and the business can't resist the "more monks and less porridge", and the division of power resources within the clan valve also has its own set of mechanisms.

"This plan was made by Gu Changheng's family, right?"

Gu Changheng has been dead for more than a thousand years, he is also the head of the Xia Yu family, and he is also the last talent of the Xia Yu family to be valued by Gu Valve. Gu Changheng obviously also wants to leave a capital for future generations that can be rebuilt, and use the auditorium as the current one, and use the position of the deputy city seat that is not valued for layout.

Hu Shandiao slapped the table angrily, of course, in his own hall, office, he has not yet "Shi Lezhi" slapped in front of the city. The reason why he was angry was because Cheng Xiling's east wind was not borrowed, and he originally wanted to use the "courtesy" thing to make trouble, but he was scattered by the wind in the city.

Above the silver mist, the merit tower meeting.

"What does Gu Zhongli want to do in the millennium? Saga variable valves? Hu Shandiao is too lazy to show "all the words Xuantong", he has so many talents available, why bother to think about everything by himself.

"It's so easy," Tang Sangyang said with a smile.

He is still a devout-level believer, but he also knows that there is also a "fanatical-level" believer, and how to become a fanatical believer, Tang Sangyang thinks that this opportunity falls on the "Holy Messenger". What the Holy Envoy is doing now must be the oracle of the "Three Qing Shengming", as for what goal the "Three Qing Shengming" wants to achieve, Tang Sangyang said that it is not important.
