Early the next morning, Qi Xuansu heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was a strange young Taoist priest.

The young Taoist priest was very respectful: "I am the deacon of Ziwei Hall, and I am ordered by Deputy Hall Master Lei to ask Chief Qi to go to the lobby of the headquarters of Ziwei Hall to see her." ”

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered that his nominal boss was neither Shi Bingyun nor Donghua Zhenren, but Lei Xiaohuan.

He followed the young Taoist priest out of the alley, got into a deer cart, and walked towards the main lobby of Ziwei Hall.

Qi Xuansu said that he entered the Purple Mansion for the first time yesterday, but it was not accurate, when he left Yujing to go to the Imperial Capital, Donghua Zhenren had talked to him, and he had entered the Purple Mansion at that time, but Ziweitang was located on the periphery of the Purple Mansion, and he couldn't see Jinque, Zixiao Palace, or even Yaochi, so Qi Xuansu never felt that he had really entered the Purple Mansion. It wasn't until yesterday that he landed in Yaochi on the ship of the national teacher, and he could be regarded as having a glimpse of the true face of the Purple Mansion.

Ziwei Hall is the only hall located inside the Purple Mansion, it is easy to get out of the Purple Mansion, and if you want to enter the Purple Mansion, you have to go through a strict inspection, so Qi Xuansu left sensitive things such as fish charms at home beforehand.

The two entered the Purple Mansion from the side door, and not far away was the main lobby of Ziwei Hall, and under the leadership of the young Taoist, Qi Xuansu came to Lei Xiaohuan's signing room.

Seeing Qi Xuansu come in, Lei Xiaohuan, who was sitting behind the bookcase, stood up and walked around the table: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, when I first saw you, I would never have thought that in two years, from the seventh grade to the third grade, I jumped four levels in a row." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Lei Zhenren has a good reputation, and I am only a four-grade wine Taoist now." ”

"You're going to be a three-grade Youyi Taoist soon." Lei Xiaohuan took out a document and handed it to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu took the document and looked at it, although he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.

This is a letter of appointment.

The content is not complicated, except for those clichés, the main thing is to talk about one thing, the Five Elements Mountain Qi has changed, Qi Xuansu, the head of Ziwei Hall, participated in calming the earth and maintaining the integrity of Beilong, and made outstanding contributions, and was specially promoted to the deputy hall master of the third grade, with the seal of Jin Que below.

There is no grade in the official position of Daomen, and the deputy hall master is the deputy hall master, and there is no such thing as a few grades. The grade corresponds to the Taoist priest himself. The reason why it is emphasized here to promote Qi Xuansu to the "third-grade deputy hall master" is because this is the rank of the position that has already been mentioned. To put it bluntly, Qi Xuansu will only be regarded as a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest when he is the deputy hall master, and once he is dismissed and stopped from his position, he will still be a fourth-grade sacrificial wine Taoist.

In addition, this kind of job grade, or temporary grade system, generally belongs to one of the wartime systems, and Qi Xuansu can be awarded a job grade, which should be related to the nearby Fenglin Continent war. This also meant that Qi Xuansu would most likely be sent to the Fenglin Continent battlefield.

Qi Xuansu carefully read this letter of appointment several times, and was full of emotion for a while.

"According to reason, it should be announced by the real person in the hall, but because of the matter in Fenglinzhou, Donghua Zhenren has been very busy recently, and he has no time for the time being, so I will announce this appointment to you on his behalf, congratulations, Deputy Hall Master Qi." Lei Xiaohuan said with a smile.

"There's a real Laure." Qi Xuansu thanked him.

Lei Xiaohuan has always regarded Qi Xuansu as his own person, and joked: "It's okay now, if you accompany Deputy Hall Master Zhang home for the New Year, no one will say that you eat soft rice, she is the deputy hall master, and you are also the deputy hall master, this is called parity." ”

Of course, having said that, in fact, there is still a gap between Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu, not to mention that Zhang Yuelu is a real third-grade Youyi Taoist, not a job grade, just that there is a difference in the ranking of the two. Tiangang Hall and Ziwei Hall both belong to the upper three halls, because Shangguan Jing died in battle, Zhang Yuelu moved forward one place, ranking eighth in Tiangang Hall, and Qi Xuansu made up for the lack left by Qi Jianyuan, and was the ninth deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall.

However, Daomen has always advocated streamlining the power structure, so the nine deputy hall masters do not mean that they are divided into nine levels, except for the chief and second seats, the rest of the deputy hall masters are nominally equal no matter how many they rank, and it can only be said that the ranking is more likely to reflect the amount of power in their hands.

Now that Qi Xuansu has officially become the "hall official" of Ziwei Hall, he naturally has to understand his responsibilities.

The nine halls of the Daomen refer to the six departments and nine secretaries of the imperial court to a certain extent, but they cannot be completely equated with the six departments and nine secretaries. Take Ziweitang as an example, it is equivalent to the official department of the imperial court, but in many cases, it takes into account the responsibilities of some of the imperial courts. For example, in the previous dynasties, the imperial historian of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court was often appointed as a messenger to inspect the place, and was called "governor". As for the governor becoming a permanent magistrate, that was all later.

Today's Ziwei Hall also has this function, and the deputy hall master often acts as a "Qin Mission" to inspect places on behalf of Jin Que, or preside over a certain case, and Lei Xiaohuan often serves as such a function.

Since Qi Xuansu was not assigned specific errands, most of his duties were to serve as various envoys and conveners, representing Ziweitang, Jinque, and Daomen, and going to various local provincial governments to inspect and inspect.

Qi Xuansu is actually quite satisfied, at least he doesn't have to be bored in Yujing all day, and the Beijing officials have always been out of Beijing. Take Lei Xiaohuan as an example, when she was the convener of the seven-person group, even the real person in charge of Jiangnan Province had to give her three points.

If you talk about the drawbacks, of course, there are also them, that is, there will not be too many direct subordinates, not to mention that compared with Tiangang Hall, even compared to the Dijing Daofu, it is much inferior.

It's something that can't be helped.

Then there is the treatment that Qi Xuansu is more concerned about, because it is the grade of the position, so his case silver has not been adjusted, but in terms of job subsidies, he has changed from the main person to the deputy hall master, and the corresponding increase is one hundred yuan Taiping money. Qi Xuansu was originally the basic silver of 200 yuan per month, plus various subsidies, a total of 300 yuan per month. Now the monthly base silver remains unchanged, and the subsidy has risen by 100 yuan, so it becomes 400 yuan per month. Over the course of a year, the total income was 4,800 yuan.

Qi Xuansu was overjoyed, but couldn't help but think of Qi Niang.

I have to admit that although Qi Niang can't help him be promoted directly within the Daomen, it gives him a relatively fair environment, without this fairness, even if he makes a contribution, he may not be able to get promoted immediately.

You must know that the personnel arrangements at the level of the deputy hall master have to be discussed by Jin Que, if there is no background relationship, it is not so easy, especially for young people like Qi Xuansu, there is a suspension system, even if the credit is enough, it is also between the two, one is not good is to exercise for a few more years, and can be promoted exceptionally, or there are real big people who have spoken, such as Zhang Yuelu as the deputy hall master. Either someone else did something big.

No matter what the case is, it is inseparable from Qi Niang.

Qi Xuansu originally wanted to give Qi Niang good news, but after thinking about it, Qi Niang was well-informed, maybe she knew it earlier than him, and she was probably still competing for the "Pai Sheng" at this time, so she still didn't bother her.

Lei Xiaohuan led Qi Xuansu to his signing room, which was next door. Because Ziwei Hall is located in the Purple Mansion, the area can not be compared with the Jade Emperor Palace, the signing room is naturally much smaller, even smaller than Zhang Yuelu's signing room, there are only three rooms inside and outside, the outer room is where the secretary is, the middle is the living room and study, and the inner room is the quiet room and bedroom.

Qi Xuansu came to the bookcase, and there was a three-grade Youyi Taoist priest's clothes on the table, mainly the head crown became "Wuyue Crown", also known as "Wuyue Lingtu Crown", covering the bucket shape, and engraved "Wuyue True Shape Map".

Next to it is his urn and the "middle pole meridian" corresponding to the three-grade Youyi Taoist priest. There is nothing to say, compared with the "Intermediate Sutra" and the "Chuzhen Sutra", the structure is similar, but it is more gorgeous.

Speaking of which, the distribution and management of the urn and the scripture urn are also within the scope of Ziweitang's responsibility, so it saves a lot of trouble. "Zhongji Jingjing" is equivalent to a medium-grade treasure, in addition to the role of the mother and son charms, it also has the function of "signal rune array", but it can only bind one object each, which is quite inconvenient.

It is said that after changing to the "Upper Cave Sutra" corresponding to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, the restrictions will be relaxed.

Qi Xuansu has already thought about it, the child and mother talisman is still bound to Zhang Yuelu, and the "Xun Fu Array" is bound to the lobby of the Ziwei Hall headquarters, which is not delayed between public and private.

Lei Xiaohuan suddenly remembered something, and said: "Regarding your secretary candidate, the hall has not decided, what is your opinion?" ”

According to the usual practice, most of these close candidates are decided by the deputy hall master, and they are generally the close henchmen of the deputy hall master, take Zhang Yuelu as an example, Mu Yan is her secretary, and when she was still in Beichen Hall, Mu Yan had already followed her.

Qi Xuansu has only been in the past two years, where did he come from, he thought about it and said: "When I was serving in the Dijing Provincial Mansion, I had a secretary named Ke Qingqing, she was a person from Shi Zhenren, and she knew the roots, and she was quite easy to use. ”

Lei Xiaohuan nodded: "It shouldn't be difficult to transfer her from the Dijing Provincial Mansion." ”

This is the benefit of Ziwei Hall again, the control of personnel power, the transfer of deacons is just a matter of one sentence.

For Ke Qingqing herself, it is almost like pie falling from the sky, because of Qi Xuansu's words, she was transferred from the local Taoist government to the Yujing Nine Hall, and she is also the Ziwei Hall at the head of the Nine Halls, and from the secretary of the main department to the secretary of the deputy hall master, the future can be imagined, it can be regarded as a sense of "a chicken dog ascending to heaven".

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

Of course, both glory and loss, Ke Qingqing can be regarded as tied to Qi Xuansu's chariot, Qi Xuansu can go all the way, Ke Qingqing will naturally rise to prominence, but if Qi Xuansu is overturned, Ke Qingqing will inevitably follow. Gains and losses are always one and the same.

After explaining these things, Lei Xiaohuan finally said: "After Qi Jianyuan died, his subordinates were arranged by the real person in charge of the hall to other deputy hall masters, so you don't have any subordinates for the time being, and the specific arrangements may have to wait until the battle in Fenglin Continent is over." ”

Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "I am a light general." ”
