Chapter 51: The Reception Feast
is still the old rule, and a reception banquet was set up in the Taiping Inn branch by Penglai Pond in the southeast square of Haosheng.
Qi Xuansu remembered that the person who presided over the reception banquet last time was also the chief deputy mansion master Zhou Jiaoxian, so from this point of view, the three main high-level leaders of the Dijing Provincial Mansion had a clear division of labor.
At the reception banquet, the group of five plus Qi Xuansu and Zhou Jiaoxian were at the same table.
The round table is arranged, with the door on the top and the right on the right. Zhou Jiaoxian, as the local master, is also the person with the highest grade and the highest position of Taoist priests present, so he naturally sat on the main seat, Yao Pei and Zhang Yuelu were on his left and right, and Qi Xuansu was sitting behind the door, facing Zhou Jiaoxian.
Zhou Jiaoxian first said two words, which was nothing more than welcoming the five-person team to the imperial capital, and he would fully cooperate with Yunyun on behalf of the imperial capital provincial government.
When the seven-person group went to Jinling Mansion, Bai Yingqiong and Li Tianlan also said similar scenes on behalf of Jiangnan Provincial Government, but what was the result? It is the fire that burns the real martial arts.
Zhang Yuelu sighed: "The last time I came to Dijing, it was ten years ago, at that time, the Dijing Provincial Government was a little ugly, black smoke and miasma, every assessment, the Imperial Capital Provincial Government is always ranked last among many local provincial governments, but I heard that today's Imperial Capital Provincial Government has changed greatly." β
Zhou Jiaoxian said with a smile: "Relying on Jin Que's wise decision-making, the virtue of the sky, and the solid work of the top and bottom of the Dijing Dao Mansion, the Li Mansion Lord, as well as the Shi Deputy Mansion Lord, are also well-dressed and fed, and it took a lot of effort to have today's new atmosphere." β
At this moment, Yao Pei slowly spoke: "Deputy Mansion Master Zhou, before I came to the imperial capital, I heard many different voices. β
"Really?" The smile on Zhou Jiaoxian's face froze, and then returned to the same as before, "What Yao Fuli said is good, after all, it has been difficult to return for many years, and now there are still many places that need to be strengthened and improved in the Dijing Provincial Mansion. β
Zhang Yuelu smiled: "We came to the Dijing Provincial Mansion for only one purpose, which is to make the Dijing Provincial Mansion better, eliminate the old evils, change the new style, and focus on solving those key points and difficulties." All in all, we must not only satisfy Jinque, but also satisfy the people of the world, and we must let the people of the world see the new look and new atmosphere of the imperial capital, which is refreshing. β
Qi Xuansu didn't say a word, watching the two women play.
He only now knows that Zhang Yuelu will also say these scenes, but if he thinks about it carefully, this is reasonable, Zhang Yuelu is not a fool, he has been exposed to it in Yujing all day long, and he has heard it, so it will not be strange.
Li Changge didn't speak, just twisted the wine glass with two fingers, smiling, acting as a bystander.
Of course, Qi Xuansu didn't speak. To put it mildly, he is now suspended for reflection. To put it mildly, he's half guilty now. What can he say?
However, Qi Xuansu didn't even save the wine glass, and just looked at Zhang Yuelu.
While raising her glass, Zhang Yuelu gave Qi Xuansu a warning look with the corner of her eyeβon formal occasions, you are not allowed to make eye contact with her.
Qi Xuansu was naturally as good as a stream, retracted his gaze, and looked at the dishes in front of him.
Zhou Jiaoxian's voice still clearly reached Qi Xuansu's ears: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, Tiangang Hall is not as good as other halls, it is not easy, it is out of the shadow of the sword and sword." β
"Deputy Mansion Master Zhou has won the award." Zhang Yuelu said, "In the next month, we will work together to do all kinds of things arranged by Jinque." β
Zhou Jiaoxian once again said: "On behalf of the Dijing Provincial Government, I will fully cooperate and give Jin Que a satisfactory explanation." β
Yao put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said unhurriedly: "The wine is good, thank you Vice Mansion Master Zhou for your hospitality." β
Qi Xuansu somewhat understood.
Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei do have a division of labor, one sings with a red face and the other with a white face.
On the Daomen side, in addition to the contradictions of the three Daos, there is actually a contradiction between Yujing Jinque and the local Daofu. Of course, this is not the crux of the Daomen family, from ancient times to the present, all dynasties and dynasties, it is a difficult problem, and if it is not handled well, it is easy to form a trend of separating the feudal towns, and the tail is too big to fall.
Local governors always want to gain more autonomy, and Kanque wants to have more control over them. There are areas where the interests of both parties coincide and where interests do not coincide, which makes the situation extremely complicated.
In the Dijing Provincial Mansion, in some matters, Li Ruoshui, Zhou Jiaoxian, and Shi Bingyun respectively represent the positions of Taiping Dao, Quanzhen Dao, and Zhengyi, and they are incompatible. In some matters, the three of them represent the position of the Imperial Palace, and they need tacit cooperation to safeguard their common interests.
What is a good boss? In the eyes of the people below, the boss who knows that he fights for the interests of his family is a good boss, and since they are in this position, many things are involuntary, otherwise they will not be able to sit in this position.
The people below are not unarmed ordinary people, but a large number of chiefs, deacons, spiritual officials, and Taoist priests who have been rooted in the Dijing Provincial Government for a long time, with both force and power, as well as intricate personal relationships. It is up to them to do anything, and they have to carry out the decrees of the Jinque and the provincial government, and the stability of the provincial government must also depend on them to maintain it. Although they come from different Taoist systems, they do not care much about the high-level Taoist disputes, they are more concerned about their own practical interests, and their "public opinion" cannot be ignored. If they make trouble together, the real people in charge of the mansion and the deputy mansion masters above will not be killed, nor will they be killed, and they will not be able to settle inside and out, and it will be easy to put their future into it, and they will have to compromise. It's not that if you become the master of the house, everything is up to your own will, and it's not that simple.
The measurement of this needs to be carefully weighed and grasped, especially when there is a conflict between the dispute between the Taoist system and the dispute between the Yujing locality, it is difficult to say how to choose.
Therefore, just because Zhou Jiaoxian is a person of the Quanzhen Dao, it cannot be thought that he must be on the side of Zhang Yuelu and Yao Pei, nor can it be thought that because Li Ruoshui is a person of the Taiping Dao, she must be of the same heart and mind as Li Changge. There may not be too many deviations in the general trend, but there will inevitably be disagreements in the details.
This requires a concrete analysis and treatment of specific matters.
When the banquet came to an end, Zhang Yuelu suddenly said: "The case of Chief Qi is based on the note of the Daolu Division, reported by people in the Buddhist sect, and it will be directly verified and promoted to the jurisdiction of Jin Que, so Yao Fuli, you have a great responsibility." β
"Yes, Deputy Hall Master Zhang." Yao Pei replied expressionlessly, and then looked at Qi Xuansu.
Because Zhang Yuelu is the convener of the five-person group, she is the nominal boss of Li Changge and Yao Pei during this time, and she has more power and weight.
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly, and finally spoke: "I will fully cooperate with Deputy Hall Master Zhang and Auxiliary Principal Yao, and I also believe that Deputy Sect Master Zhang and Auxiliary Principal Yao will return my innocence." β
Yao Pei said lightly: "Master Qi, I don't believe in me and Deputy Hall Master Zhang, but I believe in Daomen and Jinque." β
Qi Xuansu said: "Yes, I believe in Daomen, I believe in Jinque." β
When others saw such scenes, they couldn't help but feel guilty.
What do you pretend to be, who doesn't know that your Qi Da has a close relationship with these two, one is an old boss and lover, and the other is a classmate and friend in the palace, who is related to the old family, can you not believe it?
You Qi Dashi naturally believe in them, why don't you express your belief in Deputy Hall Master Li?
It seems that it is really unbelievable.
After the banquet was over, Zhang Yuelu and the others stayed here - they would go to the Jade Emperor Palace, but they would not live in the Jade Emperor Palace, and this place was temporarily requisitioned as their residence for the next month. After all, it is Daomen's own property, and there are no other guests on weekdays, so it is perfect to arrange a group of five people and a group of attachΓ©s.
Qi Xuansu was supposed to follow Zhou Jiaoxian back to the Jade Emperor Palace, but when he walked to the door, he was stopped by Yao Pei.
Yao Pei said: "Since Chief Qi is the main person involved in this case, let's stay here together so that we can summon them at any time." β
Zhou Jiaoxian was stunned, didn't say yes, didn't say no, just said: "It's not suitable, right?" β
"There's nothing out of place." Yao Pei's tone was cold and hard, unkind, "After we arrived, we will take over the case, how to arrange the head of Qi is our business, and the outside are all spiritual officials arranged by the Dijing Dao Mansion, is the deputy master of the Zhou Mansion still afraid that the head of the Qi will run away?" That's underestimating us. Or does Deputy Mansion Master Zhou think that I and Deputy Hall Master Zhang have secretly connived with the Lord and escaped? β
"I didn't mean that." Zhou Jiaoxian naturally denied it, "Since this is the case, Master Qi, you will stay here and listen to the arrangements of Deputy Hall Master Zhang and Yao Fuli." β
"Whoa." Qi Xuansu, who was following Zhou Jiaoxian, immediately responded.
Zhou Jiaoxian said: "After I go back, I will explain this matter to Mansion Master Li and Deputy Mansion Master Shi, and in addition, I will also send someone to send some of Director Qi's personal belongings." β
Qi Xuansu thanked: "Then there is the deputy lord of Lao Zhou." β
"It's okay." Zhou Jiaoxian waved his hand and went out alone.
After only Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei were left, Yao Pei looked Qi Xuansu up and down, his face was expressionless, and he could see that Qi Xuansu was a little weak.
"What is Yao Fuli looking at?" Qi Xuansu asked.
Yao Pei said: "This time, you have fallen into my hands." I'm going to let you die, I'm afraid you won't live. β
Qi Xuansu became more and more uneasy: "Suyi, we didn't have a holiday, right?" Although we are not close relatives and friends, but we are classmates for three months, and facing Zhang Wuxian on the shore of Hoshino Lake, it can be regarded as a shared adversity. β
Yao Pei didn't smile, just turned around and walked inward: "Come with me, our Deputy Hall Zhang is going to see you, the female boss interrogated the old subordinates late at night, it's really funny." β
For the first time, Qi Xuansu found that Yao Pei's mouth was so poisonous.
This is still Yao Pei who was affected by the "Taishang Forgetfulness Sutra", and now Qi Xuansu suspects that it is the Taiping Dao that has affected the atmosphere of the entire Daomen, but it is also understandable, who made Xuansheng himself from the Taiping Dao? The top is good, and the bottom is effective.
