Chapter 211: Time is also fate
Qi Xuansu is still quite satisfied with this result.
Maybe someone wants to ask, aren't you afraid that Patriarch Jin Gong will regret it?
Admittedly, this is a possibility, but it comes at a cost.
The stability of an organization must have its laws. There is a logic in Wu Guangbi's resignation this time, and the fundamental reason lies in the two consecutive defeats, and someone must be responsible for this.
In the first big defeat, Wu Guangbi was gouged out of his heart and liver, and this was only his personal failure. Zooming in to the entire "Heavenly Court", the slave trade was completely wiped out, and it was greatly implicated, all kinds of businesses in the northwest area of Lion City were seriously affected, and the Taoist government carried out a neck jam tactic, and Deng Yushi's matter of begging Chen Jianqiu was just a microcosm of the overall situation.
The second defeat, that is, this time, is not only as simple as Li Tianqing and Li Tianzhen being arrested, Wu Guangbi seems to have run away and saved himself, but the "Heavenly Court" can't run, first report the people of the Taoist Mansion, kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, this is not counting the people of the Taoist Mansion who are potentially offended, and there will be "good days" in the future. After Qi Xuansu arrived in Nanyang, he retaliated, and various investigations and shutdowns against the "Heavenly Court" industry seriously affected the business of the "Heavenly Court".
There is already a lot of dissatisfaction within the "Heavenly Court" about this, so this time the Jin Gong Patriarch's dismissal of Wu Guangbi is actually taking advantage of the trend, which is in line with the internal voice of the "Heavenly Court", and there is no problem.
Patriarch Jin Gong can protect Wu Guangbi and give him another chance. You can also not protect it, because if something goes wrong, someone will always be responsible.
Now in order to make peace with Qi Xuansu, Patriarch Jin Gong chose not to protect it.
In this case, the people of Wu Guangbi's faction can't have too much resentment, after all, it was Wu Guangbi who messed up, and no one can say that Patriarch Jin Gong suppressed them for no reason, and he was willing to gamble and lose.
Liu Gui's ascension to the throne is naturally logical.
In the case that Liu Gui did not make a mistake, Patriarch Jin Gong wanted to forcibly push Wu Guangbi to the throne, not that he couldn't do it, there was nothing that he couldn't do, but it was against the trend, and the people of Liu Gui's faction were definitely not convinced, and there was a big resentment, which would have some impact and pay some costs, and these costs would eventually be borne by the "Heavenly Court".
Patriarch Jin Gong stood in the position of the "Heavenly Court" and could not fail to consider these.
If Patriarch Jin Gong is desperate to harm others and benefit himself, and he wants to have a lose-lose relationship with Qi Xuansu, then Qi Xuansu has nothing to say.
That's the guarantee.
After a peaceful and friendly exchange, Qi Xuansu and Jin Gong Patriarch reached a reconciliation.
Qi Xuansu stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand this time: "I'll wait for good news." ”
Patriarch Jin Gong shook hands with Qi Xuansu: "Qi Zhenren, let's meet again in the future." ”
Qi Xuansu sent Patriarch Jin Gong out with a smile on his face, and the people waiting at the outer gate also breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions couldn't help but soothe.
Qi Xuansu kept sending Patriarch Jin Gong to the gate of the courtyard, looking at the back of Patriarch Jin Gong leaving, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and he returned to calm.
People have a sense of success, and it is divided into three stages, the low level is called anger, the middle level is called courage, and the high level is called heroism, or spirit.
Qi Xuansu is not lacking in anger, but he was suppressed by him, and he does not lack courage, he can get to this day by relying on courage, but he lacks a little pride.
After all, the world is different.
It's okay when the dynasty changes, and it's okay to have the era of great changes, but once it's solidified, it's hard to be heroic, and it's not allowed to be heroic.
There is neither deep suffering, nor is there any arrogance.
Resistance and blood come and go with the times.
The tide ebbs and flows.
During the pioneering period, the cake can be made bigger, and everyone feels hopeful, and the sentence "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi" does not know how many people resonate.
Now that the development has reached a bottleneck and the class tends to solidify, even if there are young people shouting "don't bully the poor youth", they will not be able to move people's hearts as before.
In the current cycle, there is no room for arrogance, only stability, order, and rigidity.
Blindly letting Qi Xuansu learn from Xuansheng will eventually become an anti-dog.
Zhang Yuelu was angry, and then hit his head and broke the blood flow.
Qi Xuansu has no will, but can be like a fish in water.
Isn't that just a kind of irony?
The times are different, the time comes and the earth are all working together, and the heroes are not free.
After sending away Patriarch Jin Gong, Qi Xuansu waited for Yao Yi's side.
The Yao family still held their breath, unlike the Li family's reaction.
Also, after all, it is their own person, the Yao family recognized that Qi Xuansu didn't dare to really do what Pei Shenfu did, as the so-called don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Qi Xuansu didn't look at the face of the Yao family, but also looked at the face of Donghua Zhenren.
Qi Xuansu didn't wait for Yao Yi, but waited for Liu Gui first.
Of course, it was not Liu Gui who came to see Qi Xuansu in person, but through others, he thanked Qi Zhenren euphemistically.
What to thank and thank for, Liu Gui didn't say, everyone knew it.
Without Qi Xuansu, he would not be able to bring down Wu Guangbi.
This is the bet on the winning treasure.
Qi Xuansu wants to integrate Nanyang, not only at the level of the provincial government, but also at the level of rivers and lakes. "Heavenly Court" is a topic that cannot be bypassed, Patriarch Jin Gong is old, and there will be a time to ascend after all, and then there is the dispute between Wu Guangbi and Liu Gui. As the situation gradually became clearer, Wu Guangbi chose the Li family, Liu Gui chose Qi Xuansu, and they had already finished standing in line, and now Qi Xuansu's side had a small victory.
However, there are gains and losses, Qi Xuansu has gained from the "Heavenly Court", and there is a loss in the Qingping Society, the two major backers of the Qingping Society, one is the Yao family, the other is the Zhou family, Qi Xuansu offended Pei Shenfu and Zhou Mengyao, or offended to death, although Qi Xuansu was born in the Qingping Society, but it almost blocked the road of the Qingping Society, and if you want to use the power of the Qingping Society in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult.
Zhou Mengyao was about to hate Qi Xuansu to death.
Even if Zhou Mengyao and Taiping Dao converged, Qi Xuansu would not be surprised.
The Zhou family was originally born in Taiping Dao, and they have this foundation.
In the end, it is not surprising that they can change homes with each other, after all, you have me, and I have you.
In this spare time, Qi Xuansu specially studied Yan Dazhen.
Over the years, some of the Zhang family has been declining, but after all, the Zhang family has been around for thousands of years, no matter how green and yellow it is, there is still Zhang Yucheng in the Mesozoic Era, and there is another Zhang Yuelu, although it is not as good as the Li family of Taiping Road, but it is still inherited in an orderly manner.
Compared with the Zhang family, the Yan family can't even be described as green and yellow, but it is declining. In addition to one Yan Dazhen, there are almost no accomplished people in the second and third generations, and there are only a few people with the surname Yan who look at real people and know real people?
Now that Yan Dazhen is alive, he is naturally fine. For the sake of Yan Dazhen's face, even the three divisions will be polite and give three points, but if Yan Dazhen is gone, the situation will be difficult to say. The Yan family can only fully rely on the Zhang family and completely become a vassal of the Zhang family, otherwise they will be marginalized, and there is even a danger of falling out of the top circle of the Daomen.
Back then, when Patriarch Yan was alive, as the only Heavenly Master with a different surname, he could meddle in the affairs of the Zhang family at will, and the descendants of the immortals were still saved by Patriarch Yan. Now the Yan family has to rely on the Zhang family for everything, and the time is also fate, this time and that time.
It's just that Yan Dazhen has never married in his life, and he has no direct descendants, whether it is Yan Mingchen or Yan Yongzhen, they are all nephews, similar to the relationship between Zhang Yuelu and the Heavenly Master. Therefore, Yan Dazhen's concern for the Yan family is limited, and it is the children and grandchildren who have their own children and grandchildren, so don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren, not to mention that they are not their own children and grandchildren.
It is precisely because they are not their own children and grandchildren that the contradiction is relatively easy to resolve.
Qi Xuansu's difficulty is not this, the real problem is Yan Dazhen's personality.
She is not eccentric, but too strong, even domineering.
Qi Xuansu took a general look at Yan Dazhen's information, and I have to say that it is indeed a bit tricky.
Yan Dazhen and Cihang Zhenren are completely two extremes.
Even if he doesn't talk about the interests of the camp, Qi Xuansu is happy to see Cihang Zhenren become his master, as for Yan Dazhenren, it is really difficult to say, if he wants Yan Dazhen to be his master, then to put it mildly, he has to consider the feasibility of betraying his master.
Yan Dazhenren can have today, not only thanks to the platform of Daomen, but also inseparable from his own ability. In terms of ability, Yan Dazhen has no problem, he was first in Wuzhou Provincial Mansion, and because of his outstanding ability, he was promoted to the youngest deputy mansion master in the entire Wuzhou Provincial Mansion.
Later, she moved to many positions, all of which were impressive.
But her personality is too strong, when she is a deputy, she has to force the main position, and when she is in the main position, she is simply a word, she has to say everything by herself, and she can't tolerate other voices.
Such a character also led to the end of one of her marriages.
However, this person is still a little upright, when she was the deputy head of the local provincial government, she encountered something that was not eye-catching, and she slapped the table with the real person in charge, and also lifted the table with the chief and second seats, and did not leave any affection.
Therefore, Yan Dazhen likes Zhang Yuelu very much, and probably thinks that Zhang Yuelu is a little similar to himself when he was young.
It's just that she is worse than Zhang Yuelu, that is, she likes to engage in struggle, she also served in the Lingnan Provincial Government back then, and just happened to encounter the passage of the typhoon, and the real person in charge of the mansion controls the overall situation, she as the chief host arranged a series of work to resist the typhoon, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she arranged the most difficult place for the second deputy mansion master who usually did not deal with herself.
Although the second deputy lord has tried her best, but because of the objective conditions, she still failed to complete the task on time, and the second deputy lord took the initiative to admit her mistakes afterwards and make a review, but she still did not give up, and scolded the second deputy lord in front of the real person in charge of the mansion and others. not only named names, but also used words such as "waste" and "things", forcing the second deputy mansion master to can't help but move, but he was not her opponent, and he was severely humiliated by her.
The second deputy lord of the mansion is also a person with a head and a face, he was scolded and beaten, and he couldn't hold his face, so he took the initiative to resign and became an old Taoist priest.
You must know that Qi Xuansu and Li Changge have not torn their faces until now, and they are still a "Brother Tianyuan Dao" and "Brother Yongyan Dao", which shows Yan Dazhen's character.
Later, Yan Dazhen's grade became higher and higher, his temper became bigger and bigger, and he made many enemies, and others finally couldn't stand her temper, these people were already at the top of the Daomen, but they were not afraid of her, so they simply sent her to Dongpo Saozhou.
In Qi Xuansu's imagination, if he fails to compete for the throne and Li Changge does not kill him, then his position is most likely to guard Posa Continent, which shows the "goodness" of this position.
If it weren't for the lack of a woman Pingzhang Dazhen, with her character and style, this position might not necessarily fall on her head.
It's not easy to get such a person.
