At this welcome party in Sheji Palace, except for Lan Dazhen, other high-level officials of the provincial government were there. Including the real person Yao Shu in charge, the chief Zhang Yuelu, and the second seat Xu Jiaorong.

This is the norm, the reason why Lan Da Zhenren personally came forward to welcome Qi Xuansu last time was because Qi Xuansu had the task of Jin Que on his body, and he needed Lan Da Zhenren's cooperation. This time, Chen Jianqiu did not have any special circumstances, and Lan Dazhen did not come forward, even if Chen Jianqiu was his apprentice, he would not come forward.

According to the appointment procedure, after the appointment order is issued, the first step is to talk to Ziweitang, and the second step is for the relevant person in charge of Ziweitang to go to the place of appointment with the incumbent to announce the appointment. According to the identity and status of the incumbent, the specifications of Ziweitang are also different.

The last time Qi Xuansu was appointed as the second seat of the Provincial Government, he went with a task, which was somewhat of a bad meaning, so the specifications were very high, Chen Shuhua greeted him, Yao Shu personally sent Qi Xuansu to take office, and Lan Dazhen came forward to welcome him.

If it is the first level of the Zhangfu Grand Real Man, it will be accompanied by the Ziwei Tang Zhangtang Zhenren in person.

It's like a reincarnation, Yao Shu, who once sent Qi Xuansu to the post, has now become the master of Sheji Palace, and Qi Xuansu played the role of Yao Shu at the beginning, sending Chen Jianqiu to the post.

Chen Jianqiu, who was in office in the year when Qi Xuansu took office, probably wouldn't have thought that he would one day become the deputy head of the Dao Mansion and become the representative of the entire Chen family.

After arriving at Sheji Palace, you can see Yao Shu, Zhang Yuelu, and Xu Jiaorong in the shape of "product" in front of the door.

Chen Jianqiu still didn't understand, this was not only to give him face, but also to give Qi Xuansu face.

When he went to take office this time, if he was just accompanied by a deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, or simply accompanied by the assistant of Ziwei Hall, it was unlikely that Pei Xiaolou would be greeted by Guijian Lake, and it was likely that he was just an ordinary deputy mansion master, after all, Pei Xiaolou was about to be promoted to the second seat, so he could not be regarded as an ordinary deputy mansion master. After arriving at Sheji Palace, it is impossible for the three giants of the Daofu to all come to the door to greet them, at most Xu Jiaorong will come forward to greet them.

Because of the arrival of Qi Xuansu, the entire specification has been improved a lot at once.

Although Qi Xuansu is not yet a real person, the various specifications and treatment have been upgraded to the level of a real person, which is higher than Yao Shu, who was not a real person in charge of the mansion at the beginning, and now looking at the entire Daofu, only Lan Dazhen and Yao Shu have a higher grade than him, not to mention that he also represents Ziweitang, which has a bonus.

It can be seen from this that Qi Xuansu has great expectations for Chen Jianqiu, hoping that Chen Jianqiu can help him guard the South Seas.

Because he was inaugurated as an ordinary deputy governor, the ceremony was relatively simple, mainly because everyone met and familiarized themselves.

If someone else comes, there may be a process, and the deputy hall master representing Ziwei Hall will introduce the future colleagues to wash away the strangeness and embarrassment between each other.

But Chen Jianqiu is different, he is already very familiar with the people here, after all, he has been a secretary in Borneo Daofu for a long time, Zhang Yuelu and Xu Jiaorong don't need to say, even Yao Shu has known Chen Jianqiu for a long time.

As for Pei Xiaolou, Ji Jiaozhen and others, they are even more acquaintances. The other deputy mansion masters had to deal with Qi Xuansu, as long as they dealt with Qi Xuansu, they would inevitably know Chen Jianqiu as a secretary.

Chen Jianqiu's return to Borneo was like going home.

Qi Xuansu looked around and spoke on behalf of Ziweitang: "All the people present are old acquaintances, everyone knows me and knows Yunzheng, I don't think there is any need to introduce more, right?" ”

Many people below laughed and said, "No need. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Then I will directly read out the relevant appointments." ”

After Qi Xuansu read out Chen Jianqiu's official appointment in accordance with the procedure, Chen Jianqiu said a few words briefly, which can be regarded as an inauguration declaration.

Then came the dinner.

For the people of the Taoist government, the meaning of the meal itself is already very weak, and the banquet itself has become a kind of ritual etiquette.

This dinner is a two-in-one, in addition to the people of the Taoist government, there are also some local "virtuous", including Chen Shuwen, Chen Jianqiu and other Chen families, as well as Qi Duyu and Phantom Ji businessmen. It's very lively.

In this banquet, Chen Jianqiu should be the protagonist, so Qi Xuansu didn't take the lead, just toasted a few glasses of wine, exchanged pleasantries with Yao Shu and others, and left with Zhang Yuelu first.

This disappointed many people who wanted to say a few words to the old chief. After all, the old chief is about to take off, and everyone wants to get some light.

Qi Xuansu's residence was arranged in the Wooden Palace, which is also the designated "guest room" of the Sheji Palace.

There is no shortage of various exotic flowers and plants here, and it is an excellent place to go.

The two walked side by side on the path of the wooden palace, Zhang Yuelu joked: "It was a lot of rain a few days ago, and as soon as you came, the sky would be clear." ”

"Am I that good?" Qi Xuansu said, "Are you in a better mood?" ”

Zhang Yuelu was not stubborn, and admitted calmly: "This can be regarded as a kind of old acquaintance in a foreign land." ”

Qi Xuansu did not directly talk about the situation in Nanyang, but took out a pot of wine and sent it to Zhang Yuelu: "Master likes calligraphy and painting, Qi Niang likes tobacco, and you like wine, didn't you say: 'Cooking, I can't drink, you can't'?" Would you like to taste it? ”

Zhang Yuelu looked left and right, there was no one else here, so he no longer held the shelf of the chief deputy mansion master, took the wine jug, pinched the mud seal, and took a full sip. Quite a bit of the pride of the Jianghu people.

Qi Xuansu asked, "How does it taste?" ”

Zhang Yuelu savored it carefully: "It tastes very similar to 'drunk life and dream death', but it lacks a little old taste, like new wine." Daomen's freshly brewed 'Drunken Life Dream Death' generally does not circulate in the market, this is not the genuine 'Drunken Life Dream Death', right? ”

Qi Xuansu said: "You really have some ability, this is indeed not the genuine 'Drunken Life Dream Death', but an imitation of Xidaomen, I brought a lot, enough for you to drink for a year." ”

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "You specially prepared it for me?" ”

Qi Xuansu said calmly: "No, it was prepared by Huangfuji." ”

Zhang Yuelu didn't speak, just looked at Qi Xuansu. She didn't have to ask Qi Xuansu to give her a gift, but she felt that Qi Xuansu was a bit deliberate, and there should be a follow-up. The reason for this is very simple, there must be a demon when things go wrong, just like Xiao Yin is quiet and quiet, he must be a demon. If you are too quiet and obedient, then you must be holding back and being a big demon.

Qi Xuansu smiled: "This is what I prepared. ”

As he spoke, he took out the "Immortal Pill" obtained from the Immortals.

Zhang Yuelu is also a person who knows the goods, took the jade box, did not rush to open it, first read the words on the jade box, and then knew the origin of this pill, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be the 'Immortal Pill' refined by Sun Lingxiu himself, the spirit rune of the Toad Palace, and the Daogui of the sea eye, this is really the creation of heaven and earth, how did you get it?" ”

Qi Xuansu roughly talked about the experience of getting the "Immortal Pill": "It's also an unexpected joy, for me, it doesn't have much effect, I mainly rely on 'Xuanyu', which should be of great benefit to you." ”

Zhang Yuelu did not hide her joy.

A simple truth, compare her heart to her heart, if she sends something to Qi Xuansu, she definitely wants to see Qi Xuansu give positive feedback, what she wants to see is that Qi Xuansu likes this gift very much, not that Qi Xuansu doesn't care, or picks and chooses.

What's more, the "elixir of longevity" is indeed very useful to her.

It's just that Zhang Yuelu can't say such meaty words as "you're so good" after all, so he can only keep everything silent.

Qi Xuansu relayed the words of Gong Dazhen and said: "Li Yongyan doesn't talk about martial arts, so we have to follow Gu cultivation, and if we can chase one point, it's one point." ”

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "You can always think of me, but I can't help you." ”

"What are these words?" Qi Xuansu said, "Why didn't you help me......"

Zhang Yuelu interrupted him: "You handed over Borneo to me, and it turned out to be like this, and you want to come and clean up the mess in person, will you be disappointed?" ”

Qi Xuansu took a sharp step forward, from walking side by side to walking in front of Zhang Yuelu, and then turned around, forcing Zhang Yuelu to stop, and became opposite Zhang Yuelu.

Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu and said, "Qingxiao, this is not like you." The Qingxiao in my impression has always been more and more courageous, and never suffers from gains and losses. ”

Zhang Yuelu smiled bitterly: "If I get things done, I will be infamy, even if it is broken in Nanyang, then there is a saying, I am afraid that things will not be done, and even ...... Hey, let's not talk about it. ”

Qi Xuansu reached out and pressed her shoulder: "Do you want me to repeat those truths to you?" The road to success is always difficult and tortuous, don't be discouraged, we still have a long time, this failure is for the next success. ”

Zhang Yuelu said softly: "It's not discouraged, but I feel that I am a little taken for granted, and I am a little overestimating myself, I have been reflecting on myself during this time, in the past, I shouted all day long to change the door, is it a little too ambitious?" Shouldn't you calm down and do what you can first? So I finally decided to inspect the Nanyang countries, and it turned out that Xie Jiaofeng's matter came out again. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "After a long time, the medicine stone is difficult to treat, and if you want to return to the innate nature, Da Luo Immortal can't do it, let alone you?" This is also the result of whoever comes to replace it. ”

"Those who have always succeeded in reform must first attack externally, one is to divert internal contradictions, the second is to accumulate prestige, the third is to complete the centralization of power, and finally with the power of great victory, internal reform, in order to achieve it in one go."

"Of course, it's a risky move. If the war is defeated externally, one internal contradiction will directly detonate, the second will lose all prestige, and the third will cause heavy losses to the lineage and threaten the foundation of its own power. ”

"But reform is a major event that shakes the foundation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the earth is shaking the mountains, how can there be no risk?"

"This is my philosophy, blindly seeking inward, there is little hope of success, even if it succeeds for a while, it is difficult to cure the symptoms and the root cause, and it cannot escape the death of people. It is better to take risks in the army, first accumulate strength, then seek outward, and finally seek inward, to vigorously cure the root cause, complete the unfinished business of the Xuansheng and the Five Generations of Great Palm Sect, so that the sun and the moon can be restored, and the society will be restored to peace, so as to change the Daomen. ”

Zhang Yuelu was silent for a long time.

"Chapter 2, don't wait."
