Chapter Fifty-Six: Shoulder-to-shoulder
After Xu Jiaorong finished speaking, the others also expressed their positions one after another.
Their attitude is the same, after all, the two secret associations deceive people too much this time, and the movement is too big, so no one dares to oppose it on the surface, and they must investigate the secret association to the end, and they naturally agree with what Xu Jiaorong said.
Although the people here are all high-level officials of the Daofu, they have also climbed up step by step from the bottom, and they know best what the harm of secret associations is, and they also know the internal and external causes that Qi Xuansu said. This is like a pair of twins, Jiao is not separated from Meng, Meng is not out of focus, and it is not enough to solve one. But for them, it is okay to check the external cause, but it is absolutely impossible to check the internal cause.
Therefore, the attitude of most people is the same, secret associations must be cracked down, and the key is how to crack down.
Chen Shuhua, who had never spoken, finally spoke: "Since everyone thinks that it is necessary to crack down on secret associations, we will not discuss this issue, we should discuss how to crack down on secret associations."
"I think that the fight against covert associations is a big operation, and it is not enough to rely on a single person. I am afraid that many problems cannot be solved or coordinated by one person. If we want to crack down on secret associations, we must make up our minds and have the provincial government make unified deployment, unified dispatch, and unified command."
"So I put forward a few specific suggestions, first, the provincial government should set up a team with unified command, and the specific way to crack down on the secret association is up to the group to decide. Second, it is suggested that Wang Zhangfu himself should be the convener of this group and take charge of the overall situation. Thirdly, the Lingguan Ding Chou and the Lingguan Jiayin were responsible for the unified command of the Daofu Lingguan, and the two Lingguan accepted the command of the group. Fourth, if it involves the royal families of various countries, as well as Buddhist sects and other sects, for the sake of stability, the Taoist government needs to carefully study and decide."
Chen Shuhua is Wang Jiaohe's mouthpiece, and many things that Wang Jiaohe is inconvenient to say are said by her, so this can also be seen as Wang Jiaohe's idea.
[In view of the general environment,
Wang Jiaohe understands one thing very well, the general trend is irreversible, and it is definitely inappropriate to express opposition, so he never thought that if he did not investigate or crack down, that would give people a handle.
He chose to go with the flow and then fight for the dominance, after all, he was the real person in charge, the highest point in the triangle, and it made sense for him to lead the operation. He was even able to use this incident to oppose the guest, limit Qi Xuansu's military power, and bring the two first-grade spirit officials into his control in the name of "cracking down on the unified action of the secret association".
Qi Xuansu knew that as soon as Chen Shuhua said this, if he didn't quickly reverse it, then he would make a wedding dress for someone else, and he would fall into a very passive situation, so he immediately said after Chen Shuhua's words fell, "I don't see it that way. As I said just now, cracking down on secret associations will inevitably involve some people in our Daofu, and even directly affect our vital interests."
"If a group is formed, I can naturally trust the lord of the palace, but who can make sure that the other members of the group are not involved? If there are members of the group who secretly report and act as a protective umbrella for the secret association, then all our plans and intentions have no secrets to speak of, let alone any substantive results, and there is no way to talk about cracking down on the secret association."
Zheng Jiaohe Yin and Yang said in a strange manner, "I don't know who among us is the umbrella of the secret association? Qi Ci may as well name him directly, or take it on the spot."
Qi Xuansu said, "Regarding this, I don't have enough evidence for the time being, I just suspect it. But I can say that I'm definitely not the umbrella that shelters the Secret Society."
The assistant of Tiangang Hall said: "I agree with this point, at the beginning of Kunlun Pass, Qi Cixi and Zhang Cixi almost died at the hands of Wu Luo, this is something that we Tiangang Hall knows. Later, in Jinling Mansion, it was also Qi Cixi and Zhang Cixi who thwarted Si Ming Zhenjun's conspiracy, if Qi Cixi had any involvement in collusion with these two secret associations, I'm afraid no one would believe it."
The assistant of the ancestral hall also said, "Qi Cixi was born in the Vientiane Dao Palace, and later went to Yujing, so he couldn't be more innocent. Qi Cixi had never been to Borneo before this, and now that he had been in Borneo for less than a month, it was impossible for him to form an association with the secret in terms of time
What's involved. I don't know what about the other deputy mansion masters, but there must be no problem with Qi Jixi."
These words, too, Qi Xuansu is not good to say by himself, he can't boast about himself, how did I have a secret association with these back then, then the credibility will be greatly reduced, but if I speak through the mouth of others, it will be completely different.
In other words, Qi Xuansu needed someone to help him, which was one of the reasons why he held a Taoist meeting.
After the words of the two assistants fell, Jiayin Lingguan said, "Qi Cixi is a hero on the battlefield of Fenglin Continent, and he has made great contributions to the Dao Sect, I think Qi Cixi is absolutely reliable, this is an indisputable fact. The reason why Jin Que sent Qi Cixi to Borneo was precisely because of Qi Cixi's reliability. Presumably everyone has heard some rumors, Jin Que is very dissatisfied with our Daofu, and intends to let Qi Cixi come to clean up. Some people may be unconvinced, thinking that there is no problem with our Taoist government, but after the leakage of dragon qi, it can only be said that Jin Que's dissatisfaction is still very reasonable, and it can even be said that Jin Que understands better than most of us here, and some of us do have dereliction of duty, collusion and secret association, etc., which are no longer reliable."
Others have the heart to argue, but it is really difficult to speak. After all, Qi Xuansu's resume is here, and it can even be said that most of the credit for Qi Xuansu's ability to raise the rank of Taoist priest comes from the Lingshan Witch Sect and the Knowing Destiny Sect. If you question these credits of Qi Xuansu, saying that these credits are not established, is equivalent to questioning Donghua Zhenren who recognized these merits and promoted Qi Xuansu.
Jiayin Lingguan even broke the fact that Qi Xuansu came to Borneo Daofu with the mission of Jinque, and some people in the Daofu had problems, not Qi Xuansu's judgment, but Jinque's judgment.
Several deputy mansion masters glanced at each other, but no one said a word.
Wang Jiaohe finally spoke: "What Qi Cixi means is that you don't agree to set up a team, and in order to prevent leaks, you want to be responsible for this matter alone."
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "Yes, I would like to ask the Dao Mansion to give me authorization and let me be fully responsible for this matter."
Wang Jiaohe looked at him deeply: "One person is fully responsible, frankly speaking, this idea is very bold, and on the whole, I think what Qi Cixi said is reasonable and can be considered. But I would like to emphasize two points: first, whether it is the provincial government or the person in charge of it, we must consider the possible consequences of doing so, and we must be fully prepared for this consequence. If there is an uncontrollable situation, what should be done, be cautious. Secondly, such a big action is involved
And if it has caused a bad impact, affected the stability of Borneo, or even caused problems in trade, I am afraid that someone will be held accountable afterwards."
Qi Xuansu deeply felt Wang Jiaohe's old spiciness.
When Wang Jiaohe said these words, he still advanced by retreating.
You Qi Xuansu came with the general trend, I didn't stop you, I also took advantage of the situation, and then I fought for the dominance and opposed the army.
You Qi Xuansu relied on your own advantages to maintain the dominance, and I will not compete with you head-on, but leave your own responsibilities behind, if there is any problem, you should take full responsibility for the liquidation afterwards.
In this way, Wang Jiaohe can replace defense with offense, as long as he uses means to make Qi Xuansu unable to investigate, or cause a bad impact, not only to save his own people, but also to justifiably force Qi Xuansu to take the initiative to resign.
As Wang Danqing said, kick Qi Xuansu away from Borneo.
Qi Xuansu also expected this, since he had made this decision, he was also mentally prepared.
Qi Xuansu said: "On this point, this is for sure, if this matter is fully responsible for it, then if there is any problem, I will naturally bear full responsibility. What else is there to discuss?"
When many people heard this, they looked at Qi Xuansu.
People in Vanity Fair are most afraid of taking responsibility, and they generally hide when they can and slip when they can. Those who dare to carry the burden are courageous people.
According to Wang Jiaohe's plan, the establishment of a group, even if something goes wrong, is collective
responsibility, everyone bears the fault together, and even Wang Jiaohe has to bear the leadership responsibility. For many people, the case is closed at best, but they do not have to be held responsible. Since there is no responsibility, there is no fault. No fault is merit.
I didn't expect Qi Xuansu to be so courageous, gambling on his future, he shouldered the burden he should carry.
In other words, Qi Xuansu must carry out this matter to the end, whether the result is good or bad, it is also up to him, and as long as others do one thing, it is to approve Qi Xuansu's proposal.
Of course, it is also possible to disapprove. But if you don't approve, if something similar happens in the future, Jin Que will be held accountable, Qi Xuansu has no responsibility at all, and those who oppose it can't be washed away by jumping into the South China Sea, which is equivalent to not admitting themselves, whoever opposes it is the umbrella that covers the secret association.
Wang Jiaohe retracted the gaze that fell on Qi Xuansu and said lightly, "Since Qi Cixi said so, then I have no reason to object. You can start voting, and if you agree with the proposal, please raise your hand."
After that, Wang Jiaohe was the first to raise his hand.
Chen Shuhua followed the second and raised his hand.
Soon, all those involved in the discussion raised their hands.
Unanimously passed.
Wang Jiaohe stood up and announced, "Then, according to the results of the vote of the Provincial Government, the Provincial Government has decided that Qi Xuansu, the second deputy head of the Provincial Government, will be solely responsible for matters related to this secret association."
Qi Xuansu also stood up and said, "Please rest assured, where the duty lies, you must go all out."
Wang Jiaohe pointed out meaningfully: "Qi is secondary, the responsibility is heavy, be cautious."
With that, Wang Jiaohe strode out.
