Speaking of this, Qi Xuansu himself was stunned for a moment.

In fact, the fact that Emperor Fenglinzhou concurrently served as the head of the Tianmen Sect was itself an imitation of the Emperor of the Central Plains.

When Confucianism was "in charge", it emphasized the principles of heaven and the induction of heaven and man, and heaven was the supreme god.

The emperors of the past dynasties have two honorific titles, one is the emperor, the emperor of the world, symbolizing people; One is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, symbolizing Heaven. The emperor represents the imperial power, and the Son of Heaven represents the divine power.

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.

The emperor grasped the power of "Rong", that is, the power of the army. The Son of Heaven has the power to "worship", only the Son of Heaven can sacrifice to the sky, and ordinary people can only worship their ancestors and gods, and I have not heard of anyone who can sacrifice to the sky. In his twilight years, the Son of Heaven will also show his heir status by letting his son worship the heavens on his behalf.

The emperor and the Son of Heaven are one, and it is precisely because of the identity of the Son of Heaven that he can support the monarch as the father of the world, so it symbolizes the supreme status and power.

But when it came to the "master" of the Daomen, it was necessary to overthrow the Confucian program and establish its own order, although the Daomen also recognized the lofty status of heaven, but no longer overemphasized the principles of heaven and the induction of heaven and man????????????????, so the identity of the Son of Heaven was actually abandoned, and only the emperor remained.

But the position of the divine right could not be vacant, so the leader of the Daomen personally stepped down and replaced the role of the Son of Heaven as the Great Sect Leader.

As a result, the Central Plains became a dualistic structure, with two cores of power, mutually restricting, cooperating, and opposing each other to a certain extent.

In this case, does the Emperor of the Central Plains want to get back the identity of the Son of Heaven?

Of course, I want to dream about it.

The emperor who has no identity as the Son of Heaven is a lame emperor, far from being a family, and is even in danger of being deposed.

So when the three roads were fighting, the imperial court did not hesitate to enter. In the view of Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi, Taiping Dao is to lure wolves into the house and seek skin with tigers, even if Taiping Dao defeats the other two with the support of the imperial court, they will eventually have to fight with the royal family, Taiping Dao knows this, so their cooperation with the imperial court is not without an upper limit, and they still have many reservations.

For example, in the battle of the "Centering Ape", Taiping Dao did make a move, but he didn't go all out, this is about the mentality of Taiping Dao, they hope to use the identity of the Son of Heaven as a bait to let the court fight with the other two Dao and lose both.

In fact, the Emperor of Fenglinzhou is the same, but the situation is just the opposite, the identity of the Tianmen Sect Master, which symbolizes divine power, is real, and the identity of the emperor who symbolizes imperial power is virtual. The Emperor of the Central Plains desperately wanted to take back the divine power of the Son of Heaven, and the Emperor of Fenglinzhou desperately wanted to take back the imperial power of the emperor.

Unfortunately, both of these powers are in the hands of the Daomen.

So Emperor Fenglinzhou proposed the "Respect for the King".

Thinking deeply, Emperor Fenglinzhou couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to take back his own things. And what about the emperor of the Central Plains? Even if there is the determination of a great power, how long can it endure?

No one knows.

Qi Xuansu, who suddenly figured this out, didn't speak for a long time, stunned.

It wasn't until Lu Yuting gently called Qi Xuansu that Qi Xuansu came back to his senses and sighed: "Don't talk about this." ”

Lu Yuting nodded slightly.

Qi Xuansu looked at Phantom Ji again and said, "I don't know what Phantom Ji Qi thought?" ”

Phantom Ji said: "What I think, I'm afraid it doesn't matter. I am not a hero, just a lonely and helpless weak woman, a drop in the ocean, I can only go with the flow. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "You can't say that, the so-called general trend is also composed of one person. The so-called popular will is available, and what everyone thinks is very important. But it is also undeniable that most people have a herd mentality, and there is no shortage of rabble. In my opinion, the Phantom Banner is not a rabble. ”

Phantom Ji covered her mouth with Zhongqi and smiled: "Qi Gaogong is really good at complimenting people. ”

She paused for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, this has nothing to do with the words themselves, but has a lot to do with Qi Gaogong's identity." If I am an ordinary young man and say that I am not a rabble, I will proudly tell him that of course I am not a rabble, and I still use you to say it? But if it was Qi Gaogong, I would be flattered. But I want to know more, what kind of conditions will a big man like Qi Xuansu give me? Please forgive me for being straightforward, this is a habit developed in the West. ”

Qi Xuansu didn't think about it, and said: "I'm not a big person, and I can't give the Phantom Ji Banner a knighthood, but if the Phantom Ji Banner is willing to sincerely support the Daomen, I can give the Phantom Ji Banner a fellow Dao???????????????? Born as a scholar. ”

At the beginning, Qi Xuansu followed Zhang Yuelu to the Western Regions, and Zhang Yuelu once issued two fellow Taoist origins, one was a five-rank and the other was a nine-rank. In the blink of an eye, Qi Xuansu also had the qualification to issue fellow Taoist origins to others, even more justifiably than Zhang Yuelu at that time.

This is also the old method of Taoism, first distinguish who is our friend and who is our enemy, and then let the more friends the better. Since Qi Xuansu has encountered it, he naturally will not let it go easily.

Phantom Ji's eyes lit up: "Really? I heard that the number of fellow Taoists is fixed, and it is determined by Ziweitang every year, and the approval is extremely strict. ”

Li Mingshan said: "Qi Gaogong is the deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, can he sign it is a matter of his words, and can he still lie to you?" ”

Qi Xuansu didn't speak, but just took out his new urn - his "Middle Pole Sutra" can only prove that he is a three-grade Youyi Taoist priest, but the specific position depends on the urn, so the urn needs to be changed frequently.

Phantom Ji took the basket with both hands, looked at it carefully, and then returned it with both hands, and her attitude was much more respectful.

"Qi Gaogong is a third-grade Youyi Taoist at a young age, which is already very rare, but I didn't expect Qi Gaogong to be born in Ziwei Hall, the head of the Nine Halls, and he really has a bright future."

Qi Xuansu put away the basket and asked, "What did the Phantom Ji Banner think?" ”

Phantom Ji smiled: "One is an empty viscount who paints big cakes, and the other is a genuine fellow Taoist, and fools know how to choose." ”

This is not a deliberate hype by Phantom Hime, but the truth.

Even if the Emperor of Fenglinzhou takes back the power, the so-called viscount is only useful in Fenglinzhou, and after leaving Fenglinzhou, others will not recognize this title. But the origin of the fellow Taoist priest of the Daomen is different, as long as it is the sphere of influence of the Daomen, it will recognize the origin of the fellow Taoist issued by the Daomen, that is, the Western countries, where there are also Taoist temples and Taoist palaces, and you can enter the Taoist palace for refuge and seek help by virtue of the origin of the fellow Taoists.

Phantom Ji is not a peaceful woman, she returned to Fenglin Continent to avoid the enemy, if she has the opportunity, she still wants to continue to be a free maritime merchant.

If you are a maritime businessman, the value of being a fellow Taoist is too great.

Qi Xuansu said: "Don't be happy about the Phantom Ji Banner, it is also a fellow Taoist, and it is also divided into grades, and when I return to the Daomen camp, I can handle this matter immediately, but it is still to be discussed how many grades of fellow Daoist origins are." ”

The gap between the Nine-Rank Taoist and the Four-Rank Wine Priest is too big.

Where did Phantom Ji not understand, and asked, "How many grades can Qi Gaogong issue at the highest level of fellow Taoist origin?" ”

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "I am the deputy hall master of the third grade, and according to the rules, the highest level can be issued as a fourth-grade fellow Taoist." By analogy, if you want to be born as a fellow Taoist, you can only ask the Great Palm Sect to sign it. As far as I know, for nearly 200 years, the first grade of the same Taoist who was issued could be counted on one hand. ”

Phantom Ji asked again, "I don't know what to do to get the four-grade Taoist origin?" ”

Qi Xuansu asked rhetorically: "This array house and workshop is yours?" Or is it from the Matsue Domain? ”

Phantom replied, "If it belongs to the Matsue Domain, then why did His Majesty the Emperor canonize me as a viscount?" I have a team of 100 muskets under my command, all of them are new-style muskets, occupying a favorable geographical position, condescending, against the army of the lord of the upper domain, the attack is not victorious, and the defense is foolproof. Again, on my back???????????????? After that, Hita Castle, Qi Gaogong won't see death and not save him, right? ”

Qi Xuansu smiled: "That's the best." ”

In fact, Qi Xuansu also has a little bit of his own considerations, and when he is in charge, he needs some helpers, especially businessmen with strong financial resources. If you want to go up, you have to have results, and you can't have a war all the time, so a lot of the time it's reflected in other aspects. No matter what you do, you can't do without the word "money". Even if you whitewash the peace, you also need money. This requires the help of businessmen. Even if he is not a big businessman, he must be a local powerful faction of a prince.

Take the Dijing Provincial Mansion as an example, Li Ruoshui, the real person in charge of the mansion, is backed by the Li family, and he is a powerful faction in itself. Shi Bingyun, the second deputy head of the mansion, has the support of Qin Quanyi, the king of Jin, so that the two real people can not only ensure their integrity, but also have enough resources to do what they want to do.

Qi Xuansu has an intuition that it will not be easy for Phantom Ji to get the Class C technology of smelting, and he promoted Phantom Ji today to cultivate it as a future helper.

The deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall and the real person in charge of the hall seem to be only one level behind, but in fact, there is a difference of several levels, it is impossible for him to go all the way to the real person in the hall, and it is inevitable to release the place. That's when these helpers will be needed. Regarding this aspect, Qi Xuansu specifically consulted Qi Niang and Zhang Yuelu, according to the analysis of the two, there are two places where he is most likely to be released, Liaodong or Lingnan, and it just so happens that these two places cannot be bypassed Fenglinzhou.

Of course, Qi Xuansu can also use Qi Niang as foreign aid, after all, Qi Niang has the relationship with Qi Bao Fang, and she is not short of money, but Qi Bao Fang is not Qi Niang's word, and Qi Bao Fang's strength is too strong, so it will become a big bully, which is very inconvenient.

There are also big and small helpers, Qi Xuansu does not lack that kind of big helper, and he lacks a small helper who can go according to his own heart, such as Qi Xuansu wants to build a good hall to accommodate orphans and widows, but the Taoist government does not have a budget in this regard, he can't act in violation of the rules, leave a handle, and can't go to Qibaofang because of this kind of thing, then the little helper is the best choice, at this time, figure out the intention, and take the initiative to stand up and build a good hall.

Qi Xuansu felt that Phantom Ji was a good candidate. It's like an idle man, he can live the best, and he doesn't lose anything if he can't live.

People have to walk on two legs, and one leg can't go far.
