Chapter 194: The Princes of One Side
After the meeting was adjourned, Qi Xuansu walked out of the auditorium with the crowd. At this moment, Qian Wan walked over to him: "Deputy Hall Master Qi, the real person invites you to go to her." ”
Qi Xuansu was not surprised, nodded slightly, and turned towards Cihang Zhenren's signing room.
In Qi Xuansu's prediction, Cihang Zhenren should also talk to him, but it is not a public matter, but a private matter between two families and two surnames.
Of course, Qi Xuansu's situation is more special, and four surnames are involved at once, his surname is Qi, Zhang Yuelu's surname is Zhang, Cihang's real surname is Su, and Qiniang's surname is Yao. The surname Zhang is the one who holds the bull's ear, and the surname Yao is the leader of the Quanzhen Dao. Su and Qi are the big surnames in the two provinces. It's just that Qi Xuansu's Qi is still to be discussed. But that's the truth, that's the situation, in short, it's something to talk about.
The signing room of the real person in the palm hall is behind the main hall of Tiangang Hall, Qi Xuansu has been here once, and that time he came with Zhang Yuelu, and it is the first time he has come alone.
When he entered the signing room, he saw that Cihang Zhenren had just come back, and he was still dressed in the discussion just now, and motioned for Qi Xuansu to sit down, and Qian Wan had already served tea to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu took the tea and thanked him, put it aside casually, and waited for Cihang Zhenren to speak first.
Qian Wan took the initiative to retreat after opening the formation to prevent eavesdropping and prying eyes, and Cihang Zhenren did not sit behind the bookcase, but sat opposite Qi Xuansu: "I heard from the Taoist friends of Tianji Hall that Qi Niang bought you a house." ”
"Yes." Qi Xuansu responded.
Cihang Zhenren instructed: "I know that mansion, the old residence of Yuying Zhenren, is known as the other name of the Xuanzhen Eldest Princess's Mansion, and it is a good place, but you have to be careful that others make a fuss about this matter, saying that the Taiping money you bought the house came from the wrong way and the source is unknown." If you are involved in secret associations, it is not only detrimental to your career, but also a sin. ”
Qi Xuansu hurriedly said: "Qi Niang has already taken it into account, although she uses her own money, but these money have nothing to do with Qibaofang, and they all follow the path of the Yao family." ”
Cihang Zhenren nodded slightly.
Walking the path of the Yao family is through the hands of the Yao family, and this is the right way. Even if someone wants to make a fuss about Qi Xuansu, it will stop if they find out about the Yao family, and they can't check whether the Yao family's Taiping money is coming from the right way, if the Yao family is checked, then can't the Pei family be checked? The earth master and Donghua Zhenren, who represent the Yao family and the Pei family respectively, can they be checked? Can Zhang and Li check it?
So if you want to make a fuss about this house, the most you can do is find out that Qi Niang is a member of the Yao family, but this is not a secret among the high-level Daomen, Cihang Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren are all aware of it. Not to mention the Li family, even the "Heart of the Immortal Stone" knew it clearly.
In fact, there is a tacit understanding between these companies, and if it is not necessary, they will not target the core members, because they also have core members. It's just that the Daomen are not only these few families, but also emerging families such as the Wang family, or slightly inferior families such as the Qi family, these forces cannot be underestimated, and the possibility of them targeting Qi Xuansu cannot be ruled out.
Cihang Zhenren just mentioned it, and did not ask how Qi Niang operated, in this regard, Qi Niang can be described as a veteran. In Cihang Zhenren's opinion, if Qi Niang did not leave the Daomen, then the most suitable position for her would be the head of the Duzhi Hall.
It's just that everyone has their own ambitions, Qi Niang doesn't like the atmosphere of Taoism, and is very resistant to the set of the Five Generations Great Palm Sect, and would rather go to the rivers and lakes to make waves.
Cihang Zhenren thought of this, and said with emotion: "In ancient times, there were people who wore the seal of the Six Kingdoms, and now Qi Niang is not far away, she holds a high position in the five secret associations, do you know about this?" ”
Qi Xuansu was taken aback.
He only knew that Qi Niang was one of the seven owners of Qibao Fang, and one of the six members of the Privy Council of the Qingping Society, in addition, at most, he had some relationship with Bai Yutang, how could there be other secret associations?
Seeing Qi Xuansu's reaction and expression, Cihang Zhenren already had a rough idea in his heart, and said, "In addition to the Qibaofang and Qingping Society, she is also the elder of the White Jade Hall and the deputy leader of the Heavenly Beings of the Eight Tribes. As for the last secret association, even I don't know, but I vaguely know that there is such a thing. ”
Qi Xuansu didn't know what to say for a while.
Qi Niang can always refresh his cognition over and over again.
At the earliest, he thought that Qi Niang was just the small leader of the Qingping Society, but later he learned that Qi Niang was the owner of Qi Treasure Fang. He thought that Qi Niang was not much different from Wu Guangbi, but later he found out???????????????? Qi Niang was born in the Yao family and entered the high-level of the Qingping Society on behalf of the Yao family. For a long time, he thought that he already knew all the identities of Qi Niang, but now Cihang Zhenren told him that Qi Niang had five high-level identities of the secret association.
Bai Yutang has nothing to say, when Qi Niang asked him to get "Xuanyu", he could see one or two. As for the Eight Divisions, it is barely reasonable to say that the main members of the Eight Divisions were split from the original Creation Project, which was inextricably linked to the Quanzhen Dao, and the Earth Masters of the Past Dynasties were the leaders of the Creation Project.
Of course, Cihang Zhenren didn't want to shock Qi Xuansu, but had a purpose: "Among the various secret associations, the Eight Divisions rarely show up in the Central Plains, especially in coastal areas, and there is very little trace of the Eight Divisions, they generally operate in remote areas such as the Western Regions, and occasionally enter Liangzhou, Yongzhou and other places. In addition, they have often been active in Nanyang recently, and the reason is very simple, the Eight Tribes are divided into several major factions, some moderate factions, and some more radical factions. Many of the actions of the radical faction were contrary to human morality, and the Central Plains could not tolerate them, so they had no choice but to go to Nanyang. Although it is also the sphere of influence of the Daomen, it is only the Daomen, and without the cooperation of the Daxuan Imperial Court, it cannot be compared with the Central Plains, and it is relatively chaotic. ”
Qi Xuansu was not surprised.
The Central Plains is the core territory of Daomen, and there is no room for loss. Other territories, including Borneo and Fenglinzhou, are relatively secondary, and in terms of the specific degree of governance, they are naturally fine in the Central Plains and coarser in other places.
Strictly speaking, Borneo is more like a large alliance of a bunch of small countries, and the Daomen is the leader of the alliance, and all the small countries respect the Daomen, and the Daomen is naturally one and the same. However, these small countries have many conflicts or grudges with each other, and sometimes they have to mediate, and there are still many local snake Tusi forces within these small countries, and they are also unconvinced by the small courts.
There was no unified imperial court, which gave many secret associations room to grow and develop.
Qi Xuansu himself has privately learned about the distribution of power in Borneo, in addition to the Taoist and traditional Buddhist forces, as well as the holy court that is eyeing the tiger, there are also the remnants of the ancient witch sect, and the Lingshan witch sect also stretched out its hand in the name of the witch sect, intending to swallow up the remnants of this part of the ancient witch sect.
Although these forces are fragmented and not enough to shake the rule of the Daomen, it is difficult for the Daomen to straighten out Borneo, and it is even inferior to Fenglin Continent. In any case, Fenglinzhou also has a Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, which nominally rules the entire Fenglinzhou, so the Daomen can frequently change the real person in charge of the mansion in Fenglinzhou.
On the other hand, in Borneo, it is difficult to find a serious court, and it is difficult to sort out the situation there in a few years, so the real people in charge of the province of Borneo often do it for more than ten or twenty years, but it gradually becomes a big trend, like a prince who is self-reliant.
Qi Xuansu realized that Cihang Zhenren would not mention how Borneo was for no reason, and it was not his own matter that had a result, so he asked: "What does the real person mean that it is a foregone conclusion that I will go to Borneo?" ”
Cihang Zhenren didn't hide it: "Regarding this matter, Donghua Zhenren should be with you through the wind." The meaning of the earth master is indeed to let you go to Borneo. ”
Qi Xuansu asked softly, "What is the opinion of the real person?" ”
Cihang Zhenren replied: "There is a category of people in the Daomen who have made outstanding contributions, but they are willing to fall after becoming famous. In the earliest days, they still did not forget the teachings of Daozu and Xuansheng, and they were frugal and diligent, but after achieving certain achievements, they always held a point of view. ”
Speaking of this, Cihang Zhenren paused slightly: "Not long ago, I heard a saying that a certain prince once openly said: 'If it weren't for our ancestor, Borneo might not be who it is. Without our home, Borneo would not be where it is today. ’”
Qi Xuansu's first reaction was "madness".
The Li family prides itself on being the descendant of the Dao Ancestor, and there is another Xuan Saint, how the Great Saint Ancestor is, or how the Holy Ancestor is, has always thought that he is orthodox in the Daomen, but Li Changge did not dare to say such a thing.
If Li Changge really dared to say this: If it weren't for our ancestors, there would be no Daomen, and without our Li family, there would be no Daomen today. Then he is self-excluding from the Daomen and bidding farewell to the Eight Generations of Great Masters completely.
Or change to Qingwei Zhenren, does he dare to say that without him, he can't win the battle of Fenglinzhou?
Let's not say whether it's right or not, there are some things that can be said but not done, and some things that can be done but not said.
But that's what some people say.
What the son of the Li family didn't dare to say, he dared to say. What the son of the Li family didn't dare to do, he dared to do.
It's amazing.
Cihang Zhenren continued: "These people hold the wrong notion that they are the people of destiny, the most central and important people, and they attribute any achievements in their jurisdiction to themselves and ignore the efforts of others. Based on this mentality, they regard their own jurisdiction as their own forbidden territory, take it and take it, and regard themselves as the masters of this place. ”
If Qi Xuansu still doesn't understand, then he will be in vain, but he still has a little doubt.
These words seem to be more appropriate for Donghua Zhenren than Cihang Zhenren.
Cihang Zhenren also saw Qi Xuansu's doubt, and said: "On this point, the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master have reached a consensus, and the National Teacher should not object. ”
