Qingwei Zhenren's words can be described as shocking, no less than causing a dragon to turn over in the auditorium.

You Qingwei Zhenren just ended a battle in Fenglin Continent, and you want to provoke a war in the New World? Your Li family is really carrying it out to the end, and you want to use the sword of the Daomen to fight for more for the Daomen.

It's just that the city hall and the degree branch hall want to be the first not to agree, the two consecutive wars have stretched the finances of the Daomen, and in the past two years, they have essentially been wiping their butts and cleaning up the mess for these two wars, and they have not completely recovered their vitality yet.

Now it's a little better, and you have to fight again? Moreover, it was to go to the other side of the ocean to fight on the other side of the sea, and its huge expenditure had to make the finances of the Daomen on the verge of collapse.

What is not sick, nothing is other money.

Now there are many people who think that Daomen is sick, and if there is no more money, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

The people who participated in this deliberation were not all from the Taiping Dao, but also from the Zhengyi and Quanzhen Dao, and if the Qingwei Zhenren dared to advocate a war, they would definitely not hesitate to raise objections.

However, there are also people who have doubts, of course, the standard of the joint meeting of the nine halls is very high, but when it comes to large-scale wars, it still has to be submitted to Jinque for discussion, how can it be discussed at the joint meeting of the nine halls? They don't even count what they say.

Qingwei Zhenren did not rush to explain anything, but took a long pole taller than a person from the hand of a deputy hall master of Beichen Hall, and pointed to the map: "Please look at the map, this is a point on the long border between the Holy Court and the Tawantin Empire, in terms of terrain, the Tawantin Empire occupies the commanding heights and occupies an absolute advantage. But not long ago, the forces of the Holy Court took the initiative to provoke a war here, and in the end it was defeated and suffered heavy losses."

"This has left many people wondering, why would the Holy See act the way it did? This defeat was clearly avoidable, could it be that the Holy See had lost control of the northern states of the New World? In fact, there are no problems with the control of the Holy See, but it is precisely because there are no problems that the situation is out of control."

"An emperor will never change his policy until he has been defeated. A system that has been in operation for hundreds or thousands of years cannot be suddenly reformed without encountering a huge setback, because it lacks a popular base. All decisions are made by the will of the majority, and it is very difficult for a decision to be recognized and implemented without widespread approval."

"The same is true of the Holy See, since the Holy See set foot in the New World, it has never met an opponent, and various indigenous empires have been defeated by the Holy See, it can be said that the Holy See has not yet encountered a frontal defeat, and victory or defeat has never been a matter for the Holy See to consider, they only need to consider the cost of the war. Even if it is the independence of the Tawantin Empire, the Holy See does not think that it cannot be defeated on the frontal battlefield, but because of its own carelessness, internal strife among Western countries and tearing each other down, the cost of war is too high, and the support behind the Daomen, so the Holy See still looks at the situation in the New World with the arrogant attitude of the barbarians, and looks down on the Tawantin Empire instead of treating it as an opponent."

"Since the Holy See still thinks that it is invincible in the New World, then no matter how much progress the Tawantin Empire has made over the years, the Holy See still does not consider the Tawantin Empire to be its opponent, and the problem of the New World is not whether it can destroy the Tawantin, but whether it is worth it."

"Based on this situation, I have always believed that war between the Holy See and the Tawantin Empire is inevitable. Isn't there a man of insight on the part of the Holy See who realizes this? Of course. However, before a complete defeat on the frontal battlefield, a few people cannot change or stop this arrogance, because there is a lack of public opinion and widespread recognition."

"This is also the reason why there is this great defeat, because the Holy Court despises the strength of Tawantine, believing that even if they are absolutely inferior in terrain, they can still destroy the withering and decaying, which is the fundamental reason. As for those generals who are on the front line, do they know that this battle will be lost? Of course they know, but they know it's useless, because they don't count what they say."

"Back then, Daxuan started in Liaodong, and the first-line generals of the Great Wei court knew that they couldn't beat it, but the princes of the court were still fantasizing about three years of Pingliao, how different was it from the Holy Court?"

"And I judge that the head of the Holy See in the New World will hide this defeat and continue to indulge and conform to the arrogance that pervades the Holy See."

"Many times, war is inevitable

It is not something that is transferred by personal will, and it is not something that we will not fight if we want to. This humiliating defeat will not wake up the Holy Court, which still thinks that it is invincible in the world, and in Tawantin's view, it is the Holy Court that takes the initiative to provoke, and it turns out that the invincible 'God will also bleed, not invincible, then he can kill the God.' These two currents of thought and two emotions are destined to collide."

"This skirmish is just a small episode before the advent of all-out war, and it will not change the course of the general situation. It's time for us to prepare for a rainy day."

The real people present were silent, and the auditorium was so quiet that the pins could be heard.

Qingwei Zhenren continued: "Fellow Daoists, today I don't want to take the initiative to provoke a war, I am thinking about the security of the Daomen. Theoretically speaking, the existence of a strong opponent, whether he has the intention of making a move or not, the mere existence of the opponent itself has already constituted a potential threat, and the imminent outbreak of a major war is not unfounded, but a fact that we may face at any time, so we must prepare early and take precautions. And what I said earlier about not being rude is just one part of the whole process of preparing for a rainy day, that is, replacing defense with offense."

The real people present were still silent, and their hearts were turbulent.

Li Changge officially put forward the idea of "using the sword of the Daomen to strive for more", which is essentially in the same vein as the national teacher and Qingwei Zhenren, and the views put forward by Qingwei Zhenren at this time, no matter how modified they are, are inseparable from this point after all.

A real person from the Zhang family couldn't help but speak, "Qingwei Zhenren, I think your words are a bit shocking......

As the real person of the Zhang family broke the silence, the real people present began to talk, and the auditorium became noisy.

Zhang Yuelu was still silent, looking at Qingwei Zhenren.

Qingwei Zhenren just mentioned the collision of various trends of thought, but at this time, the situation where all the real people are talking about it is not the collision of multiple trends of thought within the Daomen?

At least three of the five roads are against war.

But Qingwei Zhenren still took the initiative to put forward and clarify his own views.

Qingwei Zhenren handed the long pole in his hand to the deputy hall master next to him, and after the discussion in the auditorium became a little quieter, he raised his hands and pressed down slightly, and said: "This is not a matter of Jinque, whether you should take precautions or not, how to deal with the great changes that have not been seen in hundreds of years can be handed over to Jinque to discuss, and there should be no objection to the resolution that the Holy Court should be counterattacked, right?"

The cacophony of voices in the auditorium quickly subsided, and silence returned.

"At this stage, we will not take the initiative to provoke a war, which is irresponsible. However, there are a large number of indigenous resistance forces in the Holy See's sphere of influence in the New World, which we must support, so Beichen Hall will take the lead in this joint meeting of the nine churches to focus on solving this problem."

The next is the relevant arrangement of Qingwei real people. As with the requirements of the last joint meeting of the nine halls, it is necessary to maintain strict confidentiality and severely punish those who leak secrets.

When the discussion was over, Zhang Yuelu walked out of the auditorium with Xu Jiaorong, Lei Xiaohuan and others, and felt a little dizzy in her brain, not because she was sick, nor because she was affected by her concept, but because the increasingly complicated situation made her feel a little tired.

There is no doubt that Daomen has reached a critical juncture, which may usher in a bright future, or it may step into the abyss of darkness, which makes people worry.

Xu Jiaorong asked, "Qingxiao, have you been tired lately?"

Zhang Yuelu shook her head: "It's okay."

Lei Xiaohuan asked, "By the way, how is the matter of falsely accusing Tianyuan going?"

Xu Jiaorong sighed: "The progress is slow, only a few small fish and shrimp have been found, but as soon as there are clues, these people died, and they all committed suicide, don't you think it's strange?"

"What's so strange about that?" Lei Xiaohuan said, "Isn't this a feature? It's the old way."

Of course, Xu Jiaorong didn't think it was strange, she just sneered, and said, "It's really an old method, I have always felt that there is an undercurrent, and the power is quite large."

Zhang Yuelu said softly, "There is indeed an undercurrent that can reach out to the Kunlun Dao Mansion

It's not something that a powerful local faction can do."

Xu Jiaorong did not speak. No matter how powerful Wang Jiaohe was back then, he was only limited to the scope of Borneo, and when he left Borneo, his power was greatly reduced, and he might not be able to understand the various movements of Jinque at the first time, let alone meddle in Kunlun Daofu.

It can be seen that the comer is not good, and it is not trivial.

The combination of these three people is also very interesting, Xu Jiaorong is a standard Taoist *** person, the main one is dignified, Lei Xiaohuan is a tiger, and the main one is mighty. Zhang Yuelu is the youngest, she is not frivolous, but she is not dignified, she can only be said to be casual, and her body type cannot be compared with Lei Xiaohuan, but the three of them are faintly headed by her.

Moreover, between the three of them, there were also other female Taoists who were familiar with each other who came over, and the women naturally liked to hold together, so a small group of female Taoists was formed, which attracted the attention of many male Taoists and took the initiative to give way.

Zhang Yuelu walked in the middle and at the front.

Men are yang, women are yin, and Taoism has always paid attention to the balance of yin and yang.

It's just that this balance, like equality, only exists on paper.

But even so, it's still quite a momentum.

Zhang Yuelu is also a revisit to the old place, many of the bosses, colleagues, and subordinates of the past are still in Beichen Hall, seeing this scene, I can't help but feel complicated.

Is this still the abandoned Zhang Yuelu back then?

This is like the grandeur of a real person.
