Zhang Haishi is here, of course, not to make up for half a hexagram, but for other reasons.

Since Li Daoxu took the initiative to ask the question, he didn't hide it, and said: "Master Mingjian, I really have something to ask Master to decide this time." ”

Li Daoxu sat back on the Dharma platform again, put his hands on his knees, and said simply and directly: "Say." ”

Zhang Haishi no longer called "Master", changed his name to "Old Sect Master", and said: "At the beginning, the old sect master let several junior disciples take charge of each of them, and the right to practice, when the third junior brother Li Yuanying successively served as the master of Tianwei Hall and the master of Tiangang Hall, and now the old sect master has retired to Penglai Island, and the third junior brother inherits the position of the sect master, he is the justifiable sect master, and he is still in charge of Tiangang Hall. According to the thirty-eight rules added by the old sect master when he abdicated the position of the sect master, the sect master should not hold other positions, and this unwritten rule that the sect master is in charge of Tiangang Hall does not apply. ”

Li Daoxu spoke slowly: "If you don't say it, I forgot, now Li Yuanying still has the position of the hall master of Tiangang Hall." The hall master of Tianwei Hall was originally served by Li Ruyi, but later Li Ru was sent to Withered Leaf Island, and the position of the hall master of Tianwei Hall was vacant, and Li Yuanying was also in charge. ”

Zhang Haishi said: "Back then, Emperor Wuzong proclaimed himself a general and became the laughing stock of later generations. Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, and now the suzerain is also the head of Tiangang and Tianwei, which is very inappropriate. ”

"Reasonable. Li Daoxu nodded and said, "I don't know what Mr. Second means?"

Zhang Haishi said: "Another person should be selected as the hall master of Tiangang Hall and the hall master of Tianwei Hall. ”

"Is there a candidate?" Li Daoxu paused for a moment before speaking.

The many years of tacit understanding between the master and apprentice have made both of them know that the next conversation is the real key, and the content of the speech can also be guessed.

Sure enough, Zhang Haishi said: "Five years have passed since the second year of Tianbao, and the Purple Mansion has been silent for five years, as a punishment, I think it's almost over." After all, he can't be blamed for what happened back then, the twelve sects of the righteous path, the twelve sects, and the twelve sect masters, it is too unreasonable to put all the blame on him alone. ”

Li Daoxu said calmly: "It is precisely because I can't blame him alone, so I just took away his authority, and kept the name of Mr. Fourth for him, and let him enjoy the treatment of the sect master in some things, which is tolerant enough." ”

Zhang Haishi said: "Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and kindness is great." The old sect master should not completely deny the Purple Mansion because of one thing. ”

Looking at the entire Qingwei Sect, Zhang Haishi is the only one who dares to say the word "should" to Li Daoxu, even if it is Li Yuanying, who has already become the sect master, he does not dare.

Li Daoxu said disappreliantly: "Of course I won't completely deny the Purple Mansion because of this matter, so what do you mean?"

Zhang Haishi said: "After all, our Qingwei Sect is a Jianghu sect, and if you want to gain a firm foothold in the sect, you still have to look at the realm cultivation." A few years ago, Zifu's realm fell, if he came out rashly, I was afraid that it would attract criticism, but now he has returned to the true realm, even if there is still a slight gap from the peak of the year, it is not comparable to ordinary people, in my opinion, he should also be allowed to come out and do something for the sect, even if it is a failure. ”

"I see. Li Daoxu barely thought about it, and asked directly: "Then do you think it is appropriate for him to be the hall master of Tianwei Hall, or is it appropriate to be the hall master of Tiangang Hall?"

Zhang Haishi said as a matter of course: "Tiangang Hall ranks second among the thirty-six halls, second only to Tiankui Hall, and is responsible for the precepts within the sect. ”

Li Daoxu did not refute directly, but said: "Tiangang Hall is in charge of the precepts and punishments, and the stakes are very important, so you can't be taken lightly. The Purple Mansion has been idle for five years, and it is inevitable that it will be unfamiliar with many things, and Tiangang Hall is mostly the old department of Mingxin, and the Purple Mansion and Mingxin are not in harmony, if the Purple Mansion directly serves as the master of Tiangang Hall, he can't serve the public, and something goes wrong, it will be difficult to recover. ”

The two looked at each other calmly.

After a moment like this, Zhang Haishi lowered his head: "I don't know what the old sect master means?"

Li Daoxu said: "Tianwei Hall, the last hall master of Tianwei Hall was Li Rusi, and most of them were his subordinates. Li Ru was a loyal fan of Zifu back then, and now he wants Zifu to be the hall master of Tianwei Hall, which is easy to convince the public, and things are easier to do. And back then, Mingxin also became the hall master of Tianwei Hall first, and then he was promoted to the hall master of Tiangang Hall, there are rules to follow. ”

Zhang Haishi retreated and said: "I am here today, not for the matter of the Purple Mansion alone, but for the matter of the position of the two hall masters, if the old sect master intends to let the Purple Mansion be the hall master of Tianwei Hall, then who will be the hall master of Tiangang Hall?"

Li Daoxu looked at Zhang Haishi and slowly spit out three words: "Gu Yusheng." ”

"Old Sect Master!" Zhang Haishi raised his head suddenly, looked at Li Daoxu, and said word by word: "I thought that this kind of candidate was inappropriate. ”

Li Daoxu's face sank slightly.

Zhang Haishi continued in an accentuated tone: "She is a person from a foreign sect, how can she be able to serve as the hall master of Tiangang Hall? Just because she is the wife of the sect master? I am afraid that it is not in line with the rules of the sect." ”

The atmosphere in the ashram was completely solidified.

Li Daoxu pondered for a moment: "After all, now Mingxin is the sect master, and the positions of the two hall masters are also on him, and this matter should be discussed when he comes back." ”

Zhang Haishi said: "The suzerain is the person concerned, according to the rules set by the old suzerain when he abdicated the position of the suzerain, he should recuse himself, and the old suzerain will act as the suzerain and have full authority to decide this matter." ”

Li Daoxu's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he said in silence: "Then first decide on the candidate for the hall master of Tianwei Hall, and the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall will temporarily act as the hall master, and as for the specific hall master selection, we will discuss it later." ”

Zhang Haishi knew very well that the deputy hall master was acting as the function of Tiangang Hall, which was equivalent to Tiangang Hall still in Li Yuanying's control. However, he didn't want to take this crucial hall directly, that would be tantamount to cutting off one of Li Yuanying's arms, he had to let Li Yuanying fight hard, and the old sect master would not agree, so his goal has always been Tianwei Hall.

Tianweitang said in the thirty-six halls that it is not high, and it is not low, but it is quite important, and it is responsible for shipping. In the Qing Wei Sect, there are three halls responsible for shipping, namely Tianwei Hall, Tianyou Hall, and Tianjie Hall, of which Tianyou Hall is responsible for shipping in the East China Sea, Tianjie Hall is responsible for shipping in the South China Sea, and Tianwei Hall is responsible for Qizhou affairs, because Li Xuandu proposed to open up the Liaodong trade route in the ninth year of Wude, and was changed to be responsible for opening up the North Sea shipping in the eleventh year of Wude.

The hall master of Tianjie Hall is Zhang Haishi's confidant, and Zhang Haishi's arrangement of Lu Shixing to be in charge of Cihangzong's freight transportation also came from this. The hall master of Tianyou Hall is the person of the old sect master, and he does not obey anyone's orders.

Zhang Haishi has a lot of eyes and ears in Qingweizong and Qizhou, and naturally knows about Li Xuandu and Qin Su, he plans to hand over Tianweitang to Li Xuandu's hands, just with the help of Qin Su's relationship, open up Beihai, and make up for Tianzong, there is such a meritorious feat that no one can snatch, and Li Xuandu's comeback is just around the corner. As the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an anthill, as long as a gap is opened, then everything that follows is easy to do.

The reason why he has been planning painstakingly in recent years is that he doesn't want the Qingwei Sect to fall into the hands of the third child, and now the Qingwei Sect must let people like the fourth child rectify it.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Zhang Suqing is no longer too pressing, and takes a step back: "Since the old sect master said so, it has to be so." ”

Li Daoxu's face softened slightly: "Is there anything else?" If not, just retreat." ”

Zhang Haishi said: "The Purple Mansion will be able to return to the sect in a few days, and he will also come to visit the old sect master at that time, so it is better for the old sect master to announce this matter personally, I don't know what the old sect thinks?"

If this matter is announced by the old sect master Li Daoxu himself, then whether it is Li Yuanying or Gu Yusheng, no matter how much they can object, no one will dare to raise right and wrong in this matter in the future.

Li Daoxu closed his eyes, and his tone was already a little displeased: "Okay." Anything else?"

Zhang Haishi bowed: "Disciple farewell." ”

Li Daoxu didn't answer, closed his eyes and began to settle down, Zhang Haishi straightened up and slowly withdrew from this place.

After Zhang Haishi's footsteps faded away, Li Daoxu opened his eyes, slowly raised his head, and looked towards the divine throne of the Sanqing Patriarch and the Taishang Dao Ancestor.
