Chapter Ninety-Eight: Negotiation
"The matter of Uncle Ji's funeral has been roughly arranged, and the receipts from the City Lord's Mansion, the Longteng Chamber of Commerce, the Black Stone Alliance, and the Yanxia Pavilion have all been received, and they will all send people to attend the funeral.
The disciples of the sect who go out on a mission will also return, Uncle Ji is highly respected, and he is considered to be the end of his life, so this time it will be a happy funeral.
The last time there were so many guests and guests gathered on Wuji Peak was when I was the Sect Master.
Today I mainly want to talk to you about the major events related to the development of the sect, and from this battle of the Autumn Siege, it can be seen that you have some ideas about the development of the sect. ”
Ying Nan said thoughtfully.
"It seems that the sect master has already guessed that the disciple has made such an agreement with Yue Renjie without arrogance, and has not yet pleaded guilty to the sect master. ”
Qin Wuyi said in a deep voice.
"You expressed your intention to Yue Renjie, right?"
Yingnan nodded and asked.
"Yes, the disciple thinks that uniting with the City Lord's Mansion is a long-term plan for the development of the Wuji Sect. ”
Qin Wuyi did not shy away from it, and said frankly.
"However, the City Lord's Mansion represents the royal family, the secular royal power, and the contradiction between the secular royal power and our cultivation sect has existed since ancient times.
If we take the initiative to surrender to sincerity, won't we lose our integrity and be ridiculed by other cultivation sects?
What's more, once I surrender, my Wuji Sect will lose its independent status, and from now on, I will be restrained by others, and I have to look at the face of the City Lord's Mansion to do things, how can this be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors who founded the Wuji Sect?"
"Actually, it's not a surrender, it's just a union, in the name of that surrender, we can get a lot of benefits from the City Lord's Mansion, in the final analysis, for the development of our Wuji Sect.
As for the contradiction between the secular kingship and the cultivation sect, the disciple thought that it was a matter for the big sect and had nothing to do with a small sect like our Wuji Sect.
With our strength, if we are determined to be the enemy of the royal family, I am afraid that the destruction will only be overnight.
Our relationship with the City Lord's Mansion is stiff, and even angered the City Lord's Mansion, then the royal family will definitely not sit idly by, but once the war starts, which sect can stand firmly behind us?
The nature of the cultivation sect itself was too loose, and it was fundamentally different from the strict system of the royal family.
Unless there is a powerful sect that can fundamentally disintegrate the rule of the royal family and form a trend that responds to all calls.
Then my Wuji Sect can rise up and gather to respond, but now, it is obvious that I don't have this condition.
The disciple saw that the young city lord Yue Renjie was also a person with great ambitions, and the disciple had a very pleasant conversation with him, and also touched on some sensitive issues.
The so-called surrender of sincerity, the sect master can not worry about it at all, and let the disciples and Yue Renjie join forces to do it.
Toucheng is only the final result, but this process must not be completed overnight, if the cooperation is good, it can completely relieve the internal and external difficulties under the eyes of our Wuji Sect. ”
"Worried about the inside and the outside?"
Ying Nan paused and asked.
"Exactly, the people of the Zhang family have always harbored different intentions, and they do not want to destroy the internal stability and unity of the sect all the time, their intentions are sinister, and the disciples think that they must be eliminated!"
Qin Wuyi lowered his voice and said coldly!
Ying Nan didn't speak, just looked at Qin Wuyi fixedly.
"The disciple also got a news from the autumn siege this time, the people of the Zhang family secretly conspired with foreign enemies, secretly reported to the Black Stone League, and leaked the secrets of our sect.
If we allow it to develop, I am afraid that we will collude with foreign enemies and pose a mortal threat to us. ”
"Tell the Blackstone League? ”
Yingnan said.
"What happened at that time was like this, whether the disciple was talking nonsense or not, the sect master could also judge for himself. ”
At that moment, Qin Wuyi clearly told Yingnan all the details of the Battle of Qiuwei in 1510.
"In fact, the people of the Zhang family have always been secretly doing some small actions, such as fanning the flames, spreading rumors, and creating contradictions.
But the sect masters of the past generations chose to turn a blind eye and ignore it, after all, the Zhang family is the descendant of Zhang Tianshi, the ancestor of the founding sect.
Our Yinghua family was once a subordinate of the Zhang family, and they endured the Zhang family again and again, also in order to retain the last trace of loyalty in their hearts. ”
"Sect Master, the disciple thinks that the Wuji Sect is the Wuji Sect, not the Wuji Sect of the Zhang family, if the Zhang family really has the ability to dominate the Wuji Sect, I believe that the Yinghua family will definitely abdicate and make way for Xian.
But if the existence of the Zhang family has threatened the foundation of the Wuji Sect, is it still necessary to tolerate the adulterer?
Today's Zhang family is no longer the original Zhang family, but the Wuji Sect has been passed down from generation to generation, but it is still the Wuji Sect.
No matter which family in Yinghua Zhang, or even other disciples with foreign surnames in the sect, they should focus on the development of the sect, and should not be confined to the difference between family portals.
If you can't leave the Zhang family, Wuji Sect will never be able to truly develop. ”
Qin Wuyi said meaningfully.
"The Zhang family has gone through a hundred years, and there are hundreds of people under the continuous multiplication, do you want to kill them all?"
"Then according to the sect master's observation, is there anyone in the Zhang family who can jump out of right and wrong?"
Qin Wuyi asked rhetorically.
"This ...... Perhaps. But after all, I am the sect master, and it is impossible for me to know everything about every disciple's situation. ”
Yingnan said.
"In this way, the sect master still hasn't been able to find the Zhang family who can be forgiven?"
Qin Wuyi asked reluctantly.
"Even if it doesn't, those hundreds of lives are not something that can be killed, and openly doing something to the Zhang family will inevitably cause turmoil within the Wuji Sect, and even shake the foundation of the Wuji Sect for hundreds of years.
Once it triggers civil strife, it will also provide opportunities for outsiders with ulterior motives, and if Annai's plan does not succeed and attracts foreign enemies, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
"To eliminate the Zhang family, of course, it is impossible to act rashly, we must think long-term, and we must first deal with the relationship with the Hua family. ”
Qin Wuyi said, obviously he had already thought carefully about these things.
"Tell me about your plans, I'll hear them. ”
Yingnan said.
"The disciple wants to unite with the Hua family first, the Hua family is different from the Zhang family, and the Hua family also wants to rebel, but in the open, he wants to overpower the Ying family by strength and dominate the Wuji Sect by strength.
Such an enemy is not only terrible, but respectable, and the mutual wrestling between the Hua family and the Ying family is conducive to the development of the Wuji Sect as a whole.
If the Ying family and the Hua family can be truly united, even if the power of the Zhang family is cleared, the Wuji Sect will only be stronger than it is now.
My plan is to put aside the Zhang family for the time being and let it move in private, but I will closely monitor it, strive to know its every move, and then take the lead in making an effective defense.
Then it is to take the initiative to show goodwill to the Hua family, and this kind of goodwill must first show enough sincerity.
I think that the Ying family can even temporarily relinquish the dominance of the Wuji Sect, as long as the Ying family is truly developing, then it is completely under the control of the Ying family to take back the dominance from the Hua family.
Of course, if you are afraid of causing trouble, the disciple thinks that you can have a fair competition with the Hua family.
The overall winner can continue to dominate the Wuji Sect, and a big competition every three years can give the two families enough time to develop themselves, and it will not cause internal turmoil in the sect because of the frequent change of masters. ”
Qin Wuyi said.
"Showing favor to the Hua family can be done in other ways, but the dominance of the sect cannot be taken to give up.
If the Hua family wants to dominate the Wuji Sect, they can only rely on their own strength, and the form of holding a big competition is desirable.
Moreover, different levels can be set up in the big competition, from the forging body realm, the Chong pulse realm, the martial arts realm and even the Qifu realm, each level can be tested accordingly.
Judging by the comprehensive strength of the two families, this also avoids opportunism, which is not conducive to the overall development of the sect. ”
It can be seen that Yingnan also has his own method on this issue, but he usually doesn't show it.
"What the sect master said is very much, just a certain level, or even a single individual competition, is not completely convincing, and it cannot represent the overall strength of each family.
Since the big competition is to be held, it should be all-round, so that the two families will also devote themselves to the future development and training of disciples, instead of focusing on and partiality.
You can't consciously cultivate disciples in order to fight for dominance, which is not conducive to the all-round development of the sect. ”
Qin Wuyi and Yingnan hit it off.
"It seems that you usually think a lot, I thought you were only concerned about cultivation and wouldn't care about these things. ”
Ying Nan said in a relaxed tone.
"It's all the good education of the sect master, and I read a lot of ancient books here here on weekdays, and I have some ideas unconsciously. ”
Qin Wuyi said humbly.
"If you have any other thoughts, please say them together, I would like to hear all your views on the development of the sect.
From your point of view, it may be more comprehensive and long-term than me, the sect master. ”
Ying Nan said with interest.
"Since the sect master wanted to hear it, the disciple had the courage to speak out.
Next, the Sect Master should mainly do the following things.
The first is to have a good relationship with the Hua family, and appropriately put some power to the Hua family, but let them take it with their ability, and not let them feel that we are taking the initiative to please them, showing favor and currying favor are always two concepts.
The warming of the relationship between the two families of Yinghua will inevitably force the Zhang family to take some actions, and the sect leader will have to send someone to keep an eye on the family.
Waiting for the day when they show their feet, they will kill themselves if they commit many injustices, and they can logically uproot them and remove this hidden danger and cancer for the Wuji Sect.
These two points are internal, and at the same time, they must be external.
First, to show his sincerity to the City Lord's Mansion, this point is not suitable for the sect master, the disciple is willing to contact the young city lord Yue Renjie privately, and grasp the balance.
Second, with the help of the power of the City Lord's Mansion, exert pressure on the Blackstone Alliance and gradually annex it.
The Blackstone Alliance is our most direct competitor, as long as the City Lord's Mansion can stand on our side and completely annex it, it will not be very difficult.
The key is that after we annex the Blackstone Alliance, we can't be too greedy, and we have to give the City Lord's Mansion a proper concession.
Not only should we let the City Lord's Mansion taste the sweetness and feel that it is profitable to support us, but also let the City Lord's Mansion rest assured that supporting us is not a matter of raising tigers, and we will always be obedient and under the leadership of the City Lord's Mansion.
Third, while targeting the Blackstone Alliance, we should also pay attention to the relationship with the Longteng Chamber of Commerce, which is a force to be reckoned with and a strong economic foundation.
But on the whole, we are still close to the City Lord's Mansion and are in competition with the Longteng Chamber of Commerce.
If you want to grab more commercial benefits from the Longteng Chamber of Commerce as much as possible to promote the development of the sect, this can only be done by joining forces with the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Qin Wuyi said with a beaming expression.
