The scene of the celebration banquet is inside and outside the halls of the Caoshen Pavilion, in the main hall, in addition to the soldiers who have made great contributions in this battle, there are also the heads of the various major sects, the elders and some outstanding disciples of the seats, the big disciple of the Wudang faction Song Yuanqiao, the four nine-bag elders of the beggar gang, He Taichong and his wife of the Kunlun faction, Guo Yuntian, the descendant of Peach Blossom Island, Hao Mi Butai of the two evils of the river and others are all seated in the main hall.

Qian Supreme dominates the rivers and lakes, and the leaders in the martial arts who follow him naturally have a status that is not weaker than the generals of the righteous army.
It is worth mentioning that Song Qingshu, the third generation of the Wudang faction, and Chen Youliang, the eight-bag elder of the beggar gang, are not qualified to enter the main hall to sit, although Yang Xiao Fan Yao, who is responsible for arranging the seats in the main hall, is very strange, why the sect leader is so disgusted with these two inconspicuous figures, but they can only act according to the sect leader's wishes.
Putting aside the fact that the Ming Sect Leader's Wulin Supreme's Chrysostom is unquestionable, it is only said that the Qian Sect Leader is far-sighted and has no last resort, and he has already convinced the Ming Sect for many years.
Sect Master Qian's actions are sacred, and it has always been inscrutable, but one day after the passage of time, people will suddenly realize the foresight of Sect Master Qian. This kind of experience is not uncommon among the people who follow the Qian Sect Master, and they have long been accustomed to it. Those old people around Qian Qingjian, such as Yin Tianzheng and Yin Yewang's father and son, all know deeply that the whims of Sect Master Qian can predict the future.
For example, this time, Yang Xiao Fan Yao couldn't guess that Qian Qingjian didn't let Song Qingshu enter the main hall, because he didn't want this guy who didn't know the height of the sky to stare at a few beauties around him if he had nothing to do, because once Song Qingshu was obsessed with something like peeping at the Emei women's dormitory, Qian Qingjian would only have to kill him, rather than giving him a chance to make a mistake and then kill him, it would be better to let him blame this fault on someone else, so as not to embarrass Zhang Sanfeng's old face.
Song Yuanqiao had no objection to Mingjiao's arrangement, his mentor Zhang Sanfeng repeatedly told him that Qian Supreme was his predecessor Zhang Junbao, if it was really more serious, Song Yuanqiao shouted that Qian Supreme was suspected of high climbing, and in front of such a respected figure, Song Qingshu was indeed not qualified to sit with him.
Therefore, Song Qingshu could only drink and discuss with some other martial arts heroes in the courtyard of the Caoshen Pavilion, and even in the side hall, the leaders of various small gangs and the heads of various small sects were arranged, and he Song Qingshu was also not qualified to sit at the same table with those people.
What Qian Qingjian didn't know was that his precautions were extremely accurate, and Song Qingshu's stupidity only stemmed from one thing, that is, he really wanted to take a look at the three concubines of the Qian Supreme, those three women were really the top beauties in the martial arts, but the arrangement of Mingjiao made him lose this opportunity, how could he not be melancholy.
As for Chen Youliang's section, Qian Qingjian did not let him enter the main hall to sit with the four Nine Bag Elders, naturally because he knew this person's temperament, in fact, about this person is the remnants of Chengkun's party, Qian Qingjian has no bad feelings, the key is that this person is scheming, quite wise, and will never be willing to live under the people for a long time, he will definitely make waves one day, and he is a very tricky character.
It's just that there is no reason to kill him at the moment, so he simply suppresses him, trying to be out of sight and out of mind. If this person becomes the weather one day, it is better to take his head again.
In this battle, Zhang Shicheng personally led the troops, while Fang Guozhen and Xu Shouhui sent their generals to support. At the celebration banquet, Qian Qingjian put forward the idea of the exclusive respect of the Ming Sect, and no one raised objections on the spot, and Zhang Shicheng even directly expressed his firm support for Qian Supreme to replace the Mongols as the country. The generals of the other two ministries could not clearly express their political stance, and they had no right to decide whether they supported Qian Qingjian, and they only had the power to convey Qian Supreme's proposition to their superiors.
Three days after the feast at the foot of Mount Tai, Zhang Shicheng and other 100,000 horses of the three righteous armies bid farewell to the Ming Righteous Army and returned to their own territory. All the martial arts heroes have also dispersed, leaving only the disciples and generals of the Ming Sect to sit in Tai'an, with the current decline of the Yuan Dynasty, forgive him and dare not attack again.
The busyness of the past few days has finally come to an end, and Qian Qingjian has finally been fortunate to have three concubines, who have their own boudoir fun, which is not enough for outsiders.
At this point, the whole territory of Shandong is connected with Anhui and has become the jurisdiction of the Ming Sect Army, in the words of the Qian Sect Master, this is our red base area.
On this day, Qian Qingjian summoned Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He and others to discuss the next military action.
Although attacking Dadu a day earlier can justifiably take over the great rivers and mountains of China, everyone knows the truth that if you hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800.
At this time, although the Mingjiao soldiers were strong and their morale was high, after all, the battle was different from the ambush warfare of the previous days. Whoever is in that situation will definitely come to pick peaches, and those who don't pick are fools.
During the discussion, Zhu Yuanzhang first offered advice, he believed that Sect Master Qian was not in a hurry to ascend the throne and become emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang believes that the territory occupied by the Yuan Dynasty today is still quite large, and the so-called hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and these territories still need to be encroached upon by the rebels from all walks of life little by little. Once the Qian sect leader ascended the throne and became emperor, the original contradictions between the Han and Mongolia would immediately turn into the covetousness of the rebel army against the Ming Sect.
Qian Qingjian had to admit that Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy was correct, but he also understood that Zhu Yuanzhang had the little Jiujiu in his stomach, don't let me be the emperor, if you enter the capital and go to the Jinluan Palace to sit, there will be nothing to do with the sect master, right?
However, on the surface, he could only pretend not to know, and praised Zhu Yuanzhang.
Through the observation of these days, Qian Qingjian has been able to see that although he single-handedly promoted Xu Da to the first brother of the Ming Sect generals, Xu Da always regarded Zhu Yuanzhang as the boss behind his back. And Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, as well as Tang He and others, are just fierce generals who charge into battle. Although Xu Da is good at using the art of war, he thinks he is a general when he disappears, and he has no ambition to take the position.
After investigation, the "military commander" led by Wei Yixiao, which was secretly deployed by Qian Qingjian, found that Zhu Yuanzhang had quietly taken Liu Ji and Liu Bowen under his account, and several victories against Yuan soldiers in the past were actually due to Liu Bowen's strategy. And Zhu Yuanzhang has always attributed these credits to Xu Da's head, which is really calculating.
In addition, according to the instructions of Sect Leader Qian, the detectives of the "military command" also found out a secret matter and uncovered a secret transaction.
The direction of investigation proposed by Sect Leader Qian is He Taichong's younger brother He Taixu.
He Taichong is not a descendant of He Zudao's single lineage, he originally had a younger brother He Taixu, He Taixu left the Kunlun faction when he knew that he had no hope of taking over the Kunlun faction, which Qian Qingjian learned about when he chatted with He Taichong.
The reason why he sent someone to investigate He Taixu was because Qian Qingjian was very interested in He Taixu taking away a "insinuation" from the Kunlun faction that claimed to be the king of hidden weapons.
The results of the investigation are rich in content, and the insinuation that they fell into the hands of the Five Poisons Sect is the proper meaning of the question. And He Taixu actually became the son-in-law of the current Yunnan Five Immortals Sect, that is, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect. The leader of the Five Poisons Sect was none other than Lan Caiyun, the sister of Lan Cailei, the second wife of King Yin Ye, and this news was also unexpected by Qian Qingjian.
In this way, because of Yin Susu's nepotism, Qian Qingjian is not good at the Five Poisons Sect, he originally wanted to take the insinuation as a gift to Xiao Zhao, don't say that there is no diamond ring in this era, even if there is, this thing is worthless to martial arts characters, and can only tempt Qiu Qianzhang, who is greedy for money.
If the results of the investigation are only these contents, it is interesting that the investigators actually learned another thing at the same time, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang recently purchased a pair of drugs from the Five Poisons Sect.
The medicinal properties of this drug far exceed the effect of ordinary sweat medicine, not only is it more colorless and odorless when taking the drug, but also the drug is extremely domineering.
This reminds Sect Leader Qian of a story in "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" - three hundred years later, the beautiful He Tieshou, who was the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, was worshipping under Yuan Chengzhi and changed her name to He Tishou, who once assisted Wei Xiaobao to charm the invincible Divine Fist and return to the Xin Shu family.
At that time, Wei Xiaobao tried to use ordinary sweat medicine to bring down Gui Xin Shu, but Gui Xin Shu was really put down, but it was because He Tishou added ingredients to Wei Xiaobao's mystical soup, and afterwards He Tishou once teased Wei Xiaobao - "Do you think that with your ordinary sweat medicine, you can really put down a big master like Gui Xin Shu?" - This shows the high level of the secret medicine of the Five Poisons Sect.
What did Zhu Yuanzhang do when he bought this high-grade drug?
The answer is very simple, in another life, Zhu Yuanzhang also got such a drug, and with this drug, he fascinated Zhang Wuji, the number one master in the world. Although Zhang Wuji was running Jiuyang Divine Skill when he woke up afterwards, and his body was fine, it was also a fact that he was put down immediately after drinking Zhu Yuanzhang's toast at that time.
So, now that the sect leader of this life has been replaced by Qian Supreme, who is Zhu Yuanzhang going to deal with with this drug? The answer is obvious.
Qian Qingjian estimated that if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to make a move, it should be in the past few days. Because now that the martial arts heroes have left, there is only one part of the Ming Sect left at the foot of Mount Tai, and the military power of the 300,000 army is in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, is there a better opportunity than now?
He judged that just like in another life, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not dare to kill him, and perhaps he would be like dealing with Zhang Wuji in another life, "a gentleman can be bullied", and this strategy may even be planned by Liu Bowen.
However, Qian Qingjian is not the Sect Master of the Holy Mother Zhang, he is like a cat playing with a mouse waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's original form to be seen by Bi Lutu, as if he is playing an interesting game.
He can't choose to kill Zhu Yuanzhang directly, which will have two major disadvantages:
The first is that there is no suitable reason to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, which will make Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Tang He and others deviate from morality, and it will be difficult to achieve the great cause;
The second is that Zhu Yuanzhang naturally has Zhu Yuanzhang's skills, although the Yuan Court is weak at this time, but the other rebels are very tricky, if there is no Zhu Yuanzhang as a capable person, it is difficult to say whether Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng can be settled, at least it will be more troublesome than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, Qian Supreme deliberately gave Zhu Yuanzhang a chance, preparing to attack him in front of the backbone of the Mingjiao when he showed his fox tail, and finally gave him a chance to make meritorious contributions, I believe that other soldiers will never really support such an insidious person again.
Zhu Yuanzhang manages his ambitions inconspicuously, but he doesn't know that Qian Qingjian has already understood his essence. Although he has the deep city government and far-sightedness of a generation of founding kings, even if he has a top-level thinker like Liu Bowen, who has no last resort, how can he win the opening of the traverser of the Great Sect Master?
Hanging is invincible.
