Chapter Seventy-Seven: Entering Beijing
Things were generally developing according to Qi Xuansu's expectations.
According to the procedure, Ziweitang and Beichen Hall need to inspect and talk to Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu respectively, but the real people in charge of the two halls have already agreed, the so-called investigation and conversation are actually a formality, who can give a negative conclusion against the will of their own boss?
Soon, Jin Que's resolution was issued, officially removing Qi Xuansu from the post of chief deputy governor of Borneo Provincial Government, and also officially removing Zhang Yuelu from the post of deputy deputy governor of Lingnan Provincial Government, and officially appointing Zhang Yuelu as the chief deputy governor of Borneo Provincial Government.
Yujing had already heard about this personnel appointment, but it did not cause much turmoil.
The Borneo Provincial Government was a little late-sighted, and they all knew that Chief Qi was leaving, and they were all speculating about whether Chief Qi would change the sky after he left, but they didn't expect that the successor would be Zhang Yuelu. In this way, there is no such thing as changing the sky, there may be differences in methods between Chief Zhang and Chief Qi, but the general direction will definitely not change.
This came as a relief to many.
In fact, some people have already seen some clues.
Don't look at Lan Da Zhenren is very lazy and doesn't like to take care of things, but in the end, he is a high-powered Pingzhang Dazhen, and he has already begun to lay out for the aftermath.
Many people are curious, why would Lan Dazhen insist on using Xu Jiaorong, a female secretary, don't they avoid suspicion? In fact, the reason is very simple, Xu Jiaorong is a disciple of Lan Da Zhenren, in fact, it can be seen from the surname that Lan Da Zhenren was born in the Xu Zu faction of the Quanzhen Dao, Xu Jiaorong simply and directly surnamed Xu, and it is a logical thing to accept apprentices.
It is also very common to use a disciple as a secretary, and Xiao Yueru, a disciple of Cihang Zhenren, has the intention of developing in this area. Another example is Zhang Jicheng, who also served as the secretary of the Heavenly Master.
It's just that Xu Jiaorong never calls Master, but only calls him position, so many people don't know that the two still have this relationship.
If Lan Dazhen wants to soar, he must arrange his disciples. Whether it is Qi Xuansu or Zhang Yuelu, they are not people who can stay in Borneo for a long time, Zhang Yuelu will be at least two years, and at most five years, and he will go in the direction of the palace on behalf of the king. As soon as Zhang Yuelu leaves, Xu Jiaorong's qualifications are enough, and he can take over as the chief deputy governor, the overseas provincial government is not as good as the Central Plains Provincial Government, the situation is complicated, it is not good to carry out frequent personnel replacement, and it is still more necessary to be familiar with the local situation of the elderly, although this move has the disadvantage of making the local powerful faction sit big, but it can only choose the lesser of two evils.
In this way, it can also ensure that the influence of the Lan Da Zhenren in the Borneo Provincial Government will not be too cold.
This is one of the reasons why Lan Dazhen agreed to Qi Xuansu's proposal.
As for the future, I can only look at Xu Jiaorong himself. She is probably bound to Qi Xuansu's side, no matter who Qi Xuansu or Zhang Yuelu is the master of the master, she can soar to the sky, a Pingzhang real person is probably stable, and Chen Jianqiu has to be in charge of the mansion. But if Li Changge and Yao Pei win, then it will naturally end up worrying.
But that was many years later, and Lan Dazhen couldn't help even if he wanted to. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be horses and cattle for your children and grandchildren.
After Zhang Yuelu completed the handover of the Lingnan Provincial Government, he did not go directly to the Borneo Provincial Government to connect with Qi Xuansu, but first went to Yujing to report, and then went to Borneo from Yujing.
Because of the special relationship between Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, Ziweitang didn't do anything to mobilize the people, but just sent an ordinary deputy hall master to accompany Zhang Yuelu to his post - Zhang Yuelu went there like going home, Ziweitang didn't have to send someone to accompany him at all, it was purely a formality.
After arriving in Borneo, Yao Shu and Qi Xuansu were ready to receive the feast.
It was Qi Xuansu who personally went to Guijian Lake to greet Zhang Yuelu, just like when Chen Shuhua greeted Qi Xuansu at Guijian Lake.
When he came to Sheji Palace, Lan Dazhen did not return from visiting friends and did not attend, but the two first-class spirit officials were there. In addition, Zhang Yuelu looked around, most of them were acquaintances, Xu Jiaorong, Pei Xiaolou, Xie Jiaofeng, Ji Jiaozhen, Lu Yuting, Han Yongfeng, etc., even if they were not familiar, they had a vague impression.
However, according to the procedure, Yao Shu, as the real person in charge, still introduced these future new colleagues to Zhang Yuelu.
The reception banquet was divided into two sessions, the first one was arranged at noon, mainly for the Taoist government's own people
Attendance, chaired by Yao Shu. The second session was arranged in the evening, mainly attended by people from all walks of life outside the provincial government, and was presided over by Qi Xuansu.
Chen Jianqiu, Qi Duyu, Chen Shuwen, Phantom Ji and others were all arranged in this scene.
These people are members of Qi Xuansu's faction, and they have all crossed paths with Zhang Yuelu in the past.
When Qi Xuansu first arrived in Borneo, he was alone at the reception banquet, and the stars held the moon. Zhang Yuelu was different this time, with Qi Xuansu always by her side, she didn't know that she thought she was bringing her family to attend the reception banquet.
Because of the close relationship between the two chief and deputy mansion masters, there is no undercurrent in this reception banquet, and the main theme is a happy one.
Xiao Yin didn't follow the two of them, but feasted in the corner with Lin Yuanmiao.
But then again, Xiao Yin is also a familiar face, staying in Borneo for half a year, who doesn't know Xiao Yin? Everyone understands in their hearts that Chief Qi and Chief Zhang got married too late, and their cultivation is too high, and it may be a little difficult to give birth to an heir in this life.
Many people will go to say hello to Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin, as an old face in Borneo, these people should have worked hard a long time ago, and no one will wait until now to go to the Buddha to temporarily hug Buddha's feet, just to say hello.
And they also found out that Xiao Yin doesn't do anything. At first, everyone thought that the little guy was young and couldn't understand the outside words, but later he came back to his senses, the little guy was very clever, not necessarily not incomprehensible, probably deliberately pretending to be stupid.
I don't know, what are you talking about? That's what it meant. This is Xiao Yin's three sentences of pretending to be stupid.
As for Lin Yuanmiao, everyone can see that this taciturn Taoist priest is unusual, the Heavenly Master personally promoted him, the Shangqing Palace is famous, the status of a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, and his cultivation is extremely high, and Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu trust him very much, the henchmen of the henchmen.
It's just that this guy is also a no-brainer, and he is either at ease on weekdays, or he is the nanny of Miss Xiao Yin. Of course, in Xiao Yin's opinion, the two are good friends, and there is no one to take care of whom.
But then again, this guy wants to do things, and with his realm cultivation, he has to start from a second place, and he won't follow the two chiefs all day long.
By the end of the dinner, Xiao Yin was already sleepy - Qi Xuansu had always been surprised that Xiao Yin's routine was so regular, and he slept at the end of the day, not at all like the immeasurable celestials, let alone the Emperor Willow Elves.
Xiao Yin also has a room here in Sheji Palace, and he obediently went to sleep.
Lin Yuanmiao, Pei Xiaolou and Ji Jiaozhen are more compatible, and the three often drink together.
Chen Jianqiu and Ke Qingqing were busy handing over.
So only Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu remained.
The two walked along the lake of the Water Palace. At the dinner, there were many toasters, Zhang Yuelu did not refuse to come, and drank a lot of wine, but he couldn't see it at all, in the moonlight, his face was as white as snow.
Qi Xuansu asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't think much of it." Zhang Yuelu put her hands behind her back, "They are all familiar faces, there is really nothing to say. But you, not only have to go to Beichen Hall, which is unfamiliar with life, but also go to the New World, which is completely new."
Qi Xuansu smiled, "Aren't you from Beichen Hall? I'll have to ask you for advice."
Zhang Yuelu waved his hand and said, "I'll forget it, I was a chief Taoist priest at the time, and I couldn't get in touch with the high-level of the Dao Hall. This time, you are going to be the chief and deputy hall master, and the main person you deal with is a group of deputy hall masters, and my boss has become your subordinate, how can you generalize?"
Qi Xuansu said this, it was impossible to really count on Zhang Yuelu: "Calculate carefully, I set off from Tiangang Hall, traveled to Ziwei Hall, Dijing Daofu, Fenglinzhou Xingying, Borneo Daofu, and finally went to Beichen Hall, and the upper three halls are complete. Looking at the three halls, although the position of Beichen Hall is the highest and the imprint of Ziwei Hall is the deepest, for me, it is Tiangang Hall that has the greatest influence."
"Because Tiangang Hall is where your dream began?" Zhang Yuelu asked.
Qi Xuansu shook his head and said, "There are reasons, but not all. The point is that I met in this place...... You."
Zhang Yuelu didn't this time
There was a big bad scenery, and he smiled slightly: "I'm lucky."
The next day, Zhang Yuelu officially began to perform the duties of the chief deputy governor of Borneo.
Qi Xuansu did not stay in Borneo for too long and went to Yujing.
Before leaving, the Borneo Provincial Government held a grand ceremony to see off Qi Xuansu, after all, Qi Xuansu was considered a high ascension, of course, to celebrate.
This is also the only time in recent decades that the province of Borneo has done. The former chief deputy lord was Chen Shuhua, and his fate was needless to say, he was crushed and nailed to the pillar of shame of a traitor. Before Chen Shuhua, Du Yuwen and Wang Jiaohe were both in Beijing, and neither of them entered Beijing, and the end was not good. Even Du Yuwen, who had the best end, took the initiative to resign, and she couldn't talk about promotion.
Qi Xuansu went to Yujing this time and didn't take Chen Jianqiu with him, not because the secretary couldn't go with him, but because he left Chen Jianqiu for the time being and continued to hand over the rest of the things until it was completely completed, and then left Borneo Province to go to Yujing.
Qi Xuansu wants to go to the New World, and it doesn't make much sense to bring a secretary or not.
Between the clouds of the court, thousands of miles of Yujing will be returned in one day. The sea of clouds and cranes can't stop, and the flying boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains.
After arriving in Yujing, although Qi Xuansu had not officially taken office, Beichentang still sent people to greet Qi Xuansu, led by Lu Yushu, Li Zhuyu, and Shen Yuqing, who were not only Qi Xuansu's acquaintances, but also the descendants of Qingwei Zhenren.
Shen Mingxin, the second deputy hall master, went to Fenglinzhou on official business, and now he is not in Yujing, so he is absent.
