When Zhang Yuelu went to meet the people of the Ziguang Society, Qi Xuansu was preparing to meet the people of the Qingping Society, one "purple" and one "green", but symmetrical.

With the relationship between Qi Xuansu and the Qingping Society, there is no need to play any games, or the three revenge actions are the best votes, and they share the spoils together, which are all their own people.

When Qi Xuansu rectified the atmosphere in Dongcheng, he deliberately embarrassed a legal courtyard called "Leng Fei Yuan", which is said to have the background of Xie Ge Lao behind this courtyard.

In other words, Xie Ge Lao's Xie family is indeed one of the backstages of Leng Fei Yuan. The reason why I say one of them is because the Xie family values the reputation of the family and is unwilling to directly touch such a business, but Dijing has a lot of expenses for officials, and the Xie family really needs such a business, which needs a cover. So another family, the Yang family, also became one of the owners of Leng Fei Yuan. If there is anything to make friends with the government and the Taoist gate on weekdays, it is generally the Yang family who comes forward.

The Yang family is in the imperial capital, barely a medium-sized family, and the ancestors are also rooted in Jinling Mansion, so they are considered family friends with the Xie family, and the last three generations of the family have served as the Ministry of Works, the deputy capital envoy, and the household servant. In terms of power, the Yang family naturally cannot be compared with the Xie family who have already entered the cabinet, but it is precisely because the Yang family is only a medium-sized family and does not have to pay so much attention to Zaifu's face, and many things that the Xie family disdains and cannot do, just let the Yang family come out. Later, Xie Ge Lao asked his nephew to marry the daughter of the Yang family, and he could be regarded as a family, and the relationship between the two families became closer.

According to reason, if something happens to Leng Feiyuan, the Yang family should take care of it, but the Yang family has no bottom in their hearts. After all, they are only a middle family, what is a superior family? The old princes of the pavilion and the kings of the clan are the top families, this Master Qi is a bad star, whether it is the King of Liao, or the King of Langya County, they have not taken much advantage from him, and in the end they are all over, barely a tie, although there are two princes who did not come forward in person, but it is a bit difficult for them to let a medium-sized family like them deal with the famous Master Qi.

There is no way, the Yang family has no choice but to discuss with the Xie family, ordinary trivial things are just that, you are afraid of your identity, you can't come forward if you can, and when you encounter such a big event, it is not appropriate for you to come forward again.

The Xie family agreed very happily, saying that they would talk to this Master Qi, and it was best not to act rashly.

Only then did the Yang family put their minds at ease.

So Qi Xuansu received an invitation from Xie Ge Lao, inviting him to come to the mansion for a while.

Qi Xuansu happily agreed.

Although Qi Xuansu is rectifying the atmosphere, it does not mean that he has become a ninth-rate figure, at the root he is still a Taoist person, and he is a high-grade Taoist priest, and he belongs to a noble person.

Even though the gentry are not accustomed to many of the measures of the Daomen, they are still willing to make friends with the people of the Daomen, talk about empty words, add glory and color, and will not bear the notoriety of flattery and attachment, after all, this is the Tao, which belongs to the category of academic exchanges, and has nothing to do with others, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Even the nobles of the clan are proud to marry the female crown of the Taoist family, and they don't even mind paying some price - the Taoist family practices the system of monogamy and concubines, and if the nobles of the clan marry a female Taoist priest, they can only say goodbye to the life of hugging left and right in the future.

Therefore, it is normal for the Xie family to invite Qi Xuansu, and only the kings who are in charge of military power will like to use force to solve problems.

Qi Xuansu's visit to the Xie family can be said to be a tacit understanding between Qi Xuansu and Xie Linyuan, after showing the invitation, the Xie family has already been prepared, and welcomed Qi Xuansu in with the courtesy of welcoming distinguished guests.

Under the guidance of an old housekeeper who looked like he was loyal to the Xie family for generations, Qi Xuansu walked through the first narrow courtyard and came to the second gate on the middle road of the mansion, commonly known as the second gate. The lintel hangs a plaque. Usually, only the armpit door is walked, and the main gate is not opened, in order to show solemnity. After passing through this door and coming to the main hall, Xie Linyuan had been waiting for a long time.

At this time, in addition to Xie Linyuan, there was also a personable young man, and after seeing Qi Xuansu, he took the initiative to salute and said, "Xie Buying has seen Master Qi. ”

Qi Xuansu likes to do his homework in advance, before coming to the imperial capital, he specially read "The Great Xuan Law", this time he came to see Xie Linyuan, and also did some homework, Xie Linyuan is one of the big people in the court, and all kinds of relevant information are not difficult to check. Qi Xuansu naturally knew who this person was, it was Xie Linyuan's nephew. Xie Linyuan himself has no children under his knees, so he attaches great importance to this nephew and vigorously cultivates him.

In all fairness, this son of the Xie family still has some weight in the imperial capital, and Qin Hengde and others are not much different, but they are just a little worse than Qi Xuansu, many times, the powerful background is useful, but when both sides have a powerful background, it depends more on their own ability, in this regard, except for Zhang, Li, and Yao, few can be compared with Qi Xuansu.

"I've seen Brother Xie Shi." Qi Xuansu returned the salute.

Many times, they have to talk about each other, even if Qi Xuansu and Xie Linyuan have an equal relationship, it is not good for him to be too big in front of his peers. is like Li Changge, whose seniority is still above Li Ruoshui, but after all, the latter is one of the real people who know her, and Li Changge and her are also equal friends, and they do not regard themselves as elders.

The three of them sat down separately and exchanged pleasantries slightly, Xie Linyuan was easy-going, and stretched out his hand to point at Xie Buying: "Tianyuan, if you meet outside the imperial capital in the future, I have to ask you to take care of it." ”

Although Xie Buying is married, he is still only a member of the Hanlin Academy, which is a short-term position, and he is a close minister of the emperor, responsible for drafting edicts, and has the responsibility of explaining the scriptures to the emperor. After all, non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet.

Speaking of which, Xie Buying has just gotten married, and she has the title of the gold list, which can be said to be a small Dengke and a big Dengke, and it is the time when the spring breeze is proud. It's just that compared to Qi Xuansu, it's still a little worse.

Although the Hanlin Yuan Ji Shi is noble and has a great future, but after all, he has just entered the official career, and the road behind is still long, the Daxuan Imperial Court resisted Xingjin, and paid special attention to the experience of being an official in the local area, that is, the prime minister started from the state department, and wanted to be a nobleman, no matter what his background, he had to start from the bottom, so if he wanted to enter the cabinet, he generally needed to have two or three experiences as an official, and the county level varied from person to person, but the government level and the state level were the only way, in short, the central to the local, and then from the local back to the central, so spiraling.

Civilian officials are not as good as military attachés, generals at the age of 20 or 30 are common, but prime ministers at the age of 20 or 30 are rare, unless there is a big war, they must always slowly boil up their qualifications, and they are already young when they enter the cabinet in their fifties, and they are suspected of being lucky to enter the cabinet in their forties.

Qi Xuansu is different, although he is a Taoist priest, but because of various "wars", his promotion trajectory is like that of a military attaché, because of his repeated "military exploits", so he has risen rapidly, basically how much he can stand, how fast he will rise, even if there are restrictions on the suspension system, he can be forcibly promoted. Now that he is already the head of the fourth grade, the next step is the third grade deputy lord level.

This is also related to the system of the Daomen and the imperial court, the Daomen does not contact the ordinary people, does not involve the people's livelihood and other major matters, more business and military affairs, even if he is younger, there is no low-level experience, as long as the talent is enough, there is no big problem, just like the champion Hou, at the age of twenty, he was named a wolf, and it has nothing to do with whether he has experience in the bottom army.

But the court is different, it is related to the livelihood of millions of people, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, if you don't have enough experience at the bottom, don't know the difficulties of the people, don't know the crux of the current situation of the world, don't know the operation laws of officialdom, don't have enough experience, it's easy to take it for granted, or the governance is floating in the sky, or being wantonly deceived by the people below, so it's better to be old.

When Qi Xuansu is promoted to the third grade, Xie Buying may still be a middle-level official of about the fifth grade, and if he happens to be in the same place as Qi Xuansu, he will naturally have to ask Qi Xuansu to take care of one or two. After all, the county officials are not as good as the current management, no matter how high Xie Linyuan is, he is far away in the imperial capital, and it is not as good as the help in front of him.

Qi Xuansu said: "Don't dare to be, let's help each other and make progress together." ”

Xie Linyuan smiled: "Progress, you Daomen people can always come up with some new words, those of us who read the books of the sages have not heard it, we don't understand, and you still have to laugh at us for being vulgar behind our backs." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Mr. Xie said that he laughed. ”

Xie Buying was a little surprised, looking at the conversation between the two, it was like an old acquaintance, he didn't know when his uncle had a friendship with this Master Qi, so this time Leng Feiyuan's matter ......

Qi Xuansu glanced at Xie Buying and said softly, "I came here because of Jiaci's affairs. ”

Xie Buying was stunned again, he heard that this Master Qi was born in the Vientiane Dao Palace, and he had no father or mother, how could he have another family kindness? Could it be that the rumor about the Qi family in Shuzhou is true?

Xie Linyuan knew that the "family kindness" in Qi Xuansu's mouth had nothing to do with the Qi family, and he was talking about Qi Niang. After all, the strict father is the mother, the "family strict" is the father, and the "family kindness" is the mother.

Xie Linyuan nodded, and then glanced at Xie Buying.

Xie Buying immediately got up to say goodbye and left, full of doubts in her heart.

Obviously, my uncle has long known this famous Master Qi, and he has something to do with the "family kindness" in Master Qi's mouth, you must know that behind this Master Qi is intertwined, the Shi Deputy Mansion Master of the Dijing Daofu, the Donghua Zhenren of Yujing, and the Zhengyi Zhang family, which shows that the Xie family has already been on the big ship of the Daomen, and has even participated in the competition for the Daomen Great Master, but he doesn't know about it, which makes Xie Buying, who has always been smooth, a little discouraged, that Master Qi is a few years younger than himself, I have been able to participate in such confidential matters, plan in the secret room, and pass orders to the world. But he can only be an outsider, is he a child in the eyes of his uncle, so useless?

After Xie Buying left, Xie Linyuan asked, "What did Qi Niang say?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "The mission of the Qingping Society this time is to make every effort to contain the 'inn', and all the people in Beijing are dispatched, and it happens that the new and old hatreds will be liquidated together." ”
