There is a Sumeru seat in the meeting hall, and there is only a simple rosewood seat with a single armrest, which belongs to the position of the Great Palm Sect, which is empty at the moment.

Behind the seat is a huge three-legged copper incense burner, and the lid is hollowed out according to the gossip image, and at this time, the hollow place continues to emit faint cigarettes. In the center of the north wall directly above the copper incense burner hangs a very plain white nave with four large characters written on it: "The world is peaceful".

This large palm chair sits north and faces south, and there is a place for people to stand in front of the Sumeru seat, and there is a high table three feet high and more than one foot square, which can be used to place speeches and other things, and that is the place to speak.

Facing the Great Palm was the chair of the twelve council members, arranged in a crescent arc. Because of the existence of the Sumeru seat, the position of these seats is obviously lower than the seat of the Great Palm Sect, and they will be looked down by the Great Palm Sect.

There are four more positions on the left and right of the Great Palm Sect, which are slightly lower than the position of the Great Palm Sect, and slightly higher than the positions of the Counselor Zhenren and Pingzhang Dazhen, corresponding to the three deputy Masters of the Great Sect and the wife of the Great Palm Sect respectively.

At this time, only the positions of the National Teacher were marked with their names, and the positions of the Heavenly Master and the Earth Master were empty, indicating that these two would not attend the meeting.

Not long after, eight counselors and three Pingzhang real people arrived at the meeting venue one after another, and there was no shortage of greetings to Qi Xuansu, and the weight was not light, such as Donghua Zhenren, Jiang Dazhenren, and even Qingwei Zhenren.

It seems that Qi Xuansu is not the first time to come to Jinque, but an old face here.

As a new face who came to Jinque for the first time, this treatment made many observers secretly speechless.

The national teacher is the penultimate to enter the venue, and after the national teacher, it is the last Cihang Zhenren to enter the venue according to the custom, and then Cihang Zhenren orders the venue to be closed, and the full-time spiritual officer closes the door of the venue from the outside.

Everyone sat down separately, except for the national teacher, who stood next to the seat of the Great Palm Sect, holding the back of the chair with his hand, indicating his identity as a rotating real person.

The deacons began to prepare to record the meeting, including video, sound, and text.

As the second counselor, Qingwei Zhenren came to the speaking position in front of the seat of the Great Palm Sect Sumeru, and presided over the deliberations in front of other participants and observers.

The first item on the agenda today is not a question about the mistake of Xidaomen, but a small question that seems to be insignificant.

Recently, at the junction of Lingnan Province and Borneo Province, there was such a group of people, shaved short hair, like monks but not monks, like monks who had just returned to the world. In terms of clothing, men wear cardigan gowns, and women wear knee-length skirts. In short, the clothes are more open and bold than those of the Westerners, and the hair is shorter than the shaved golden horde of the steppe.

<b

R> locals call these people thieves who shave off their hair, called maritime merchants, also like pirates, claiming to be the remnants of the Great Jin Dynasty who are living abroad, believing in the Holy Court, worshiping the supreme will, and also building a new Taoist gate, arresting natives and ordinary people, shaving their hair and making it easy to obey, plotting against them, and suspected to be a new hidden association force. The local government once wanted to exterminate it, but returned in vain, and then reported to the government and asked the provincial government to send troops to support.

The Lingnan Provincial Government first inquired about the "Heavenly Court" through the Borneo Provincial Government, and the "Heavenly Court" immediately denied that this group of people was its own branch, but only had some business dealings. Considering that it involved overseas issues, the Lingnan Provincial Government did not have a special purpose, so it chose to report to Yujing and ask Jin Que for instructions on how to deal with these remnants of the Great Jin Dynasty who claimed to be living abroad, whether to exterminate them or appease them.

There are a total of three Pingzhang Dazhen who participated in the deliberations this time, in addition to Jiang Dazhenren, the other two are Shi Hesheng and Tang Fengxian.

Listening to the name of "Tang Fengxian", you know that this is the ancestor of the Tang family, this ancestor is not false, the generation of the Tang family is "Mu Ruqingfeng", this "Ru" character just corresponds to the "Ru" character of the Li family's "Respect Dao Rufa", so the Tang family's "Qing" character corresponds to the Li family's "Fa" character, and the "wind" character corresponds to the "long" character generation.

In other words, Tang Fengxian and the national teacher Li Changgeng are also the same generation even if they don't care about the generations of the Taoist sect, but only the generations of family friends.

This Pingzhang Dazhen had a hot temper and slapped the table directly, "This

Is it necessary to discuss this kind of thing with Jinque? What does Lingnan Province do to eat? Why don't you just deal with it yourself?"

Qingwei Zhenren smiled slightly, signaled Tang Fengxian to calm down, and then said, "Let's ask the Taoist friends of Lingnan Province to tell me about the specific situation."

After that, he left the speaking position, and a deputy lord of the Lingnan Provincial Mansion walked up, he was much older than Qi Xuansu, but he was obviously much more nervous than Qi Xuansu, Jin Que is Jin Que, not the auditorium of the Taoist Mansion, he is not like Qi Xuansu, he doesn't have so many acquaintances, he can't be nervous.

The deputy lord unfolded his speech, "Distinguished people, on behalf of the Lingnan Provincial Government, I would like to make the following report."

"According to what we know, these so-called remnants of the Great Jin Dynasty are not ordinary rabble, they have a strict internal organizational system, and they cannot be said to have the rudiments of a secret association, but they are very mature, and their systems are similar to the Jinque of our Taoist sect and the cardinals of the West, but their core members are not elected by vote, but are hereditary nobles."

"They claim that their ancestors were exiled abroad when the Golden Horde went south to the Central Plains, and now they are out of so-and-so

For this reason, they returned to their homeland and settled in the territory of Lingnan Province. Unlike the secret associations that are mainly missionary, they have a very strong tendency to secession, and even send officials to erect the official government, and unlike the ordinary people who occupy the mountains as kings, they also have to naturalize the people, that is, shave their hair and make it easy to obey, as for whether they want to restore the Great Jin, there are still doubts."

Qi Xuansu was bored listening to it. When he was in charge of Borneo, he had vaguely heard that there was such a group of people, but they were only maritime merchants and did not care. I didn't expect it to become a climate.

As for the remnants of the Great Jin Dynasty, what is the matter, the Great Jin National Teacher is helping him take care of the children.

Even if the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty comes back to life, he will have to be an ordinary Taoist citizen under the glory of the Daomen, and he is not as good as the National Teacher of the Great Jin.

Soon, the deputy head of Lingnan Province finished his speech, and after saluting, he retreated to the auditorium.

"What are the remnants of the Great Jin Dynasty, I think they look like fishermen and hunters in Liaodong, they all like to shave their hair and make it easy to wear." Tang Fengxian was the first to speak, "My opinion is that all of them should be destroyed."

Shi Hesheng objected, "I don't think it's appropriate, it's not good to punish without teaching, or to cure the sick and save people, as long as they are willing to repent and serve the Tao, they should be compassionate. After all, the ancestor of the Taishang Dao said that he was kind and thrifty, and he said that he did not dare to be the first in the world."

Because it was not about fundamental interests, the two Pingzhang Dazhen did not debate fiercely, and after expressing their opinions, they did not say anything.

Others didn't even bother to discuss it, just waiting for the final vote.

The fate of a group of people is about to be decided between the words of the big guys.

Wretched? Perhaps even more lamentable.

Jiang Dazhen proposed a compromise plan: "In this way, fight first, and then only arrest the thief leader, and the Lingnan Provincial Government will try it first, and the ordinary people will be repatriated to their original places on the spot, and the unknown ones will be handed over to Borneo."

"Then let's vote."

In the end, Jiang Dazhen's plan received the most votes and was passed as a resolution. His own deacon Jin Que formed a paper order and issued it to the Lingnan Provincial Government.

Then there are two more issues, neither big nor small.

He was not shocked, and even rarely spoke, and soon entered the voting process and passed quickly.

Qingwei Zhenren said, "The last topic of this discussion is a summary of the achievements and losses of this New World war. First of all, Qi Xuansu Daoist from Beichen Hall will report the specific situation to Jin Que."

Everyone was in good spirits, and the real highlight came.

Qi Xuansu stood up and walked to the front of the Sumeru seat, and Qingwei Zhenren had already given way to his position.

Qi Xuansu took out the report draft that had been revised several times and looked around

All.

The pressure is coming, this pressure is not only brought by power, but also the pressure of realm cultivation, after all, there are as many as five immortals who can sit here. No wonder the deputy lord of Lingnan Province just now was so nervous.

Qi Xuansu retracted his gaze and lowered his head to look at the manuscript, "Respected real people, real people, fellow Daoists, I will report to you on behalf of Beichen Hall."

"The main thing about the report is that it just ended

Some of the inherent problems exposed in the war in the New World. For example, the rapid development of Xidaomen in recent years has led to the problem of over-paving the stalls, such as the problem of the unreasonable internal organizational structure of Xidaomen and Tawantin, as well as the problem of the combat method exposed by the Tawantin army in this war, the problem of radical, adventurous, and blind movement in strategy, and so on."

The national teacher was on the Sumeru seat behind Qi Xuansu, showing a slight smile.

This report is still very satisfying.

At this moment, Cihang Zhenren slapped the table and interrupted Qi Xuansu's speech, "Since it is a summary of merits and demerits, why is there only a pass, no merit, only a loss, no gain, is this a summary? It's a criticism."

Cihang Zhenren is to maintain order, and naturally no one will accuse her at this time, and she is very unscrupulous.

Donghua Zhenren also spoke, "The resolution to aid the West Daomen was passed by Jin Que. We are not overjoyed, we are not devoid of other opinions, and we are not unwilling to admit all kinds of strategic mistakes that we have made. But."

Donghua Zhenren paused for a moment, and then accentuated his tone, "I think that many of the recent criticisms, some discussions and suspicions, are not realistic, and even very abnormal. I don't know if you've heard of it, but recently there have always been some people chattering, saying that Xidaomen should draw a clear line with Daomen, to break away from Daomen, to stand on their own, and to say that there are a group of filial sons and grandsons of Xidaomen inside, and they take the money of Daomen to feed Xidaomen, a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with feeding, and so on. The intensity of the work is evident to all, and the intent is clear."

"I stress once again that we must face up to our mistakes, but the merits and demerits always go hand in hand, and if we only focus on the mistakes and ignore the good aspects, we will not be able to move forward."

"Fellow Daoists, in order to glue the fragment-like Tawantin little by little and put together the current complete Southern Continent, in order to save those people of the Southern Continent from the fate of being enslaved and scalped by Westerners, they have made great sacrifices and efforts. I must say that a fair appraisal of the West Daomen and Tawantin is not only related to the fate of the Southern Continent and the New World, but also to the major direction of the subsequent development of our Daomen, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness and bias."
