Chapter 2: Forty-seven years of long-term vision

On this New Year's Day, Yujing allowed fireworks to be set off. Qi Xuansu bought a lot from the shop under Tianjitang. In fact, he didn't care. The key is that Xiao Yin liked it.

Qi Xuansu sent red envelopes to the Taoist people at home and took a holiday. If he was willing to go home for the New Year, he would reimburse his travel expenses. If he was unwilling to go home for the New Year, or if he was homeless, he would stay in Yujing to celebrate the New Year with him.

In the end, a few people decided to stay. Qi Xuansu asked someone to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner, not to make a difference in identity, and celebrate the New Year together.

After a few bites, Xiao Yin Caocao ran to the yard to set off fireworks. He even felt unsatisfied. He hugged a large bundle of fireworks taller than her and climbed up to the roof. He was like using a "thunder gun" to shoot it, flying everywhere, and some of the fireworks even flew to Li Changge's home.

Li Changge's mansion was pitch black. Not only was the male owner Li Changge not there, but the female owner Qin Henghua was not there. She went back to the imperial capital because for the court, the New Year Festival is still an important festival, and now she should be with a group of royal members.

The left-behind Taoist from the Li family looked at it a few times, and found that it was Xiao Yin, which was a conspicuous bag, and then shrank his head back. Now everyone knows that there is a person like Xiao Yin. To be nice, it is the Monkey King. To be nice, it is the Demon King of the World. People who are not afraid of her will not be as good as their children. People who are as good as theirs often cannot afford to provoke her, so they have to take a detour.

In normal times, Taishangfang is very deserted because most people who can buy property here do not live here, but are scattered in various places. However, this year is the year of the election, and many real people and old Taoist priests came to Yujing, making Taishangfang rare for a bustling time.

After setting off the fireworks, Xiao Yin was also addicted to it and went back to his room to sleep.

Only by sleeping on time can you thrive.

Qi Xuansu did not have such leisure and leisure. After all, there were only the last fifteen days left before the election, and he had too many things to arrange.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yin was still sleeping soundly, and Qi Xuansu had already left.

Of course, Qi Xuansu did not want to pay New Year's greetings, but wanted to meet Jiazi Lingguan and Dingmao Lingguan who secretly arrived in the capital last night.

At this time, all six first-rank spiritual officials were in the spiritual officials' home, attracting them but not emitting opportunities, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The Lingguanfu is not in Yujing, nor even on Yuxu Peak, but on Yuzhu Peak.

Qi Xuansu left Yujing, came to Yuzhu Mountain, and passed the ice lake where the flying boats were docked. The Lingguan Mansion, standing in the vast wind and snow, was vaguely visible.

However, Qi Xuansu did not enter the Lingguan Mansion from the main gate, but went around and came to a secret portal.

There are no ordinary spiritual officials here, only Jiachen spiritual officials and others here.

Seeing Qi Xuansu coming from afar, Jiachen Spirit Official came forward: "I have seen Taiwei Zhenren."

"There is no need to be polite and polite between you and me." Qi Xuansu waved his hand, "Have you all arrived?"

Jiachen Lingguan said: "Report to Taiwei Zhenren, everyone has arrived, and I am waiting for Taiwei Zhenren."

Qi Xuansu said: "Okay, please lead the way."

Under the leadership of Jiachen Spiritual Official, Qi Xuansu entered the Lingguan Mansion from this secret portal, passed through a long corridor, and came to a meeting hall where there was only one entry and exit portal, no windows, and there was a special formation to ensure that it was hidden enough.

At this time, five first-rank spiritual officials stood in the conference hall, plus the Jiachen spiritual officials who led the way for Qi Xuansu, who happened to be six first-rank spiritual officials.

The spirit officials did not put down the armor, so they could see their faces. Among them, there were three natural faces, namely the Jiazi Spirit Official, Ding Mao Spirit Official, and the new Jiashen Spirit Official. When they first arrested the Jiashen Spirit Official, Qi Xuansu had seen the Jiashen Spirit Official, but at that time, the Jiashen Spirit Official was fully armed and put down the armor, so they could not see their true faces.

Judging from the appearance, Jiazi Lingguan is not young, his beard is white, showing his vicissitudes. After all, spiritual officials are not good compared to Taoist priests, and they need to rely on external forces. Their cultivation is not very strong, and they are inevitably eroded by time.

The Dingmao Lingguan is also not young, but he is a little younger than the Jiazi Lingguan.

The new Jiashen Lingguan is relatively young and has the appearance of a middle-aged man.

Six first-rank spiritual officials saluted Qi Xuansu together.

Qi Xuansu returned a greeting and went straight to the topic: "I won't say anything extra. I'll see you this time not only represents me personally, but also represents the Donghua Real Person and Cihang Real Person. To put it bluntly, it still represents the Taoist sect."

Qi Xuansu uses very clever words. Since the marriage between Donghua Real Person and Cihang Real Person, he has changed his words and will not mention Donghua Real Person alone, but will rank Donghua Real Person and Cihang Real Person together, treating it as a whole, rather than two separate individuals.

In a sense, this is a bit of a joint rule. If Donghua real person is successfully elected, then the wife of Cihang Zhenren, the chief master, must have real power, rather than a vase decoration. The difference between the two is that the main and second-level distinction is definitely the main one and the main one is the main one, and Cihang Zhenren is the auxiliary one. Therefore, Donghua real person is in front and Cihang Zhenren is the back.

Identity and status only provide a name and opportunity to grasp power. How much power can be grasped in the end depends on your own ability and means.

The six first-rank spiritual officials knew it well, and no one spoke.

Qi Xuansu continued: "Now that the election is approaching, Yujing must not be in chaos. The two real people are a little worried and clearly instructed to prevent some people from deliberately destroying the election and resolutely maintaining the stability of Yujing. This is a blessing for you."

The six spiritual officials said in a deep voice: "The responsibility is unshirkable."

Qi Xuansu nodded: "Very good."

Considering that the six first-rank spiritual officials are also in high positions and are all foxes for thousands of years, there is no need to make a high profile here. Those who lead the singing do not believe it, and those who follow the singing do not believe it. As Qi Xuansu said to Zhang Yuelu, it is essentially an internal struggle, neither noble nor sacred.

So Qi Xuansu began to get to the point: "Let's discuss the specific details."

The Jiazi Lingguan made a gesture, and a plan topographic map of Yujing fell from the walls of the conference hall.

Qi Xuansu followed suit and looked at the map.

Jiazi Lingguan pointed to the map and said, "Yujing is too big. Without using large-scale spiritual officials, it is impossible to completely blockade. Therefore, I think the scope must be narrowed down, that is, abandon the Yujing part and put the main force into the Xuandu area."

Qi Xuansu looked at the map and asked, "How is the defense situation of Beichentang?"

Jiazi Lingguan said: "It can only be described in four words. It is intertwined. If you want to go around without knowing it, it may not work."

Qi Xuansu said: "In other words, you can only force breakthrough."

The Jiazi Lingguan and the Jiachen Lingguan looked at each other: "The Lingguan Mansion and Beichen Hall are not in charge, so they are intended to restrain each other, so this is the only way. With our strength, it should not be difficult."

Qi Xuansu did not bother with this and continued: "After entering Xuandu, the next one is the Zi Mansion."

Official Jiazi Ling said: "The defense here is weak, because the three deputy head sects, thirty-six attending masters, all Pingzhang masters, and the Grand Head sect election committee are all here and do not need guards, so there is only a guard of honor."

Qi Xuansu stared at the golden palace mark on the map and fell into deep thought.

Ding Mao Lingguan, who had not spoken, said: "When the sword immortal assassinated Zulong, he was unable to find a dagger. He didn't have so many plans. Winning and defeat lies in one sword. As a result, if one sword fails, the assassin dies under the Zulong's sword. The situation in Yujing is already like a sensation. I think there is no plan at all, it's just a blow."

Qi Xuansu came back to his senses and said, "There is indeed not many plans, so let's follow this plan. If someone tries to destroy the election, we will attack Xuandu, enter Jinque, and determine the universe with one blow."

After the dust settled in the Grand Head Election Committee, the preparations for the general election began in full swing.

Under the leadership of the Tianshi, the main work is divided into two parts, one part is the election itself, and the other part is the seat promotion ceremony after the election. This requires preparation in advance, and it is impossible to start preparing until the beginning.

But we can't come too early and we can't give outsiders the opportunity to interfere in the election of the chief tutors, so we must seize the opportunity to invite guests.

Among the guests, the Buddhist and the Holy Court only sent representatives to attend, which had little influence. As a close comrade in the Taoist sect, the Confucian sect was treated extraordinaryly. The three high-ranking sects were invited, namely: Zhang Taixu, Zhang Taixu, the Neo-Confucian sect, Cheng Taiyuan, and Wang Taichong, the great sect of the Taoist sect.

At this time, the role of the chief of the Grand Master's Election Committee was reflected. When the three Confucian scholars arrived in Beijing was completely decided by the chief of the committee, that is, by the Tianshi.

It is worth mentioning that although the emperor, as the second Taoist priest in name, could not run for the Grand Master's Election Committee.

Of course, this is just theoretically, and it is difficult to actually manipulate.

In the past, there was a consensus within the Taoist sect, and it was almost a consensus to exclude Emperor Daxuan. Moreover, not every Emperor Daxuan was a powerful emperor.

Nowadays, the opinions within the Taoist sect are not consistent, but according to regulations, Taoist priests who do not belong to the three Taoist sect are uniformly divided into the Yujing constituency.

Although Emperor Jing belongs to the Taiping Road constituency, Emperor Daxuan himself is not a disciple of Taiping Road, but belongs to the Yujing constituency. The Yujing constituency is actually controlled by the Great Master. Jiang Dazhenren will not be able to allow Emperor Daxuan to be elected as a member of the Election Committee. There are some reasons, such as there is no precedent, Emperor Daxuan should not interfere in the election, etc., and there is always a suitable one.

Since even the primary election cannot be passed, Emperor Daxuan naturally cannot compete for the chief or second seat of the Election Commission.

In the end, Emperor Daxuan could only come to Yujing as a guest, and could not actually participate in it.

Since you are a guest, you must also follow the arrangements of the Heavenly Master when you enter the venue, unless you tear your face up to pieces now.
