Chapter 8 Mr. Old Yin
Whether it is Zhang Yuelu and Qiniang, or Lan Da Zhenren and Xu Jiaorong, it takes time.
Qi Xuansu could not go back to seclusion, so he sat here and waited.
At this moment, Mr. Old Yin walked in.
Qi Xuansu signaled Mr. Old Yin to ask for a seat without any politeness.
Mr. Yin sat opposite Qi Xuansu and smiled and said, "When I came to Weiming Palace last time, the owner here was still Donghuang."
Qi Xuansu asked, "When it comes to Donghuang, I'm a little curious. Is Donghuang not Taipingdao's great real person? How did he become the second-generation master? I'm afraid this is not in line with the rules?"
Qi Xuansu read Donghuang's daily notes, but Donghuang's daily notes were too short, which was a little longer than the daily notes of the seventh generation of the great masters, and it was not as good as the sixth generation of the great masters. It was not that Donghuang deliberately deleted it, but because he was already an old man when he was on the throne.
Emperor Dong was far less reigning than Xuansheng and the three great masters of the three generations, and was considered a transitional candidate. His greatest achievement during his reign was to improve the Yujing City on the basis of Xuansheng and lay the foundation for today's Yujing City. Therefore, he naturally regarded it as the guardian deity of Yujing and was worshipped by incense.
This is not to say that Donghuang only built Yujing City in his life, but that Donghuang, as the chief sect, basically did this big thing. Donghuang did a lot of things in his life, such as suppressing the Confucian rebellion, quelling the civil strife of ancient immortals, participating in the attack on Buddhism, the first eastward expedition to Fenglinzhou, etc. However, at this time, Donghuang was not the chief sect, and these achievements were included in the term of Xuansheng, but not during the term of Donghuang.
After all, most of the deeds of Donghuang were in the Xuansheng era, and there was no way to see much from the daily notes.
Mr. Old Yin smiled and said, "The first generation of disciples and second generation disciples are unclear. Many second generation disciples are even older than the first generation disciples, so the first generation of disciples and second generation disciples are actually a difficult problem. The first generation of disciples are about to ascend, and the second generation of disciples have not had much time. This is a cliché, so I won't repeat it.
"As for the non-compliance issues mentioned by the Grand Master, it was naturally not like that later. Is it a matter of course that the Grand Master, is it in line with the rules for the Daxuan court officials to serve as the deputy head of the Dazhen people in the Dazhen people? Of course, it is not in line with the rules, but Donghuang first practiced in the Dazhen court for a long time before he turned to the Dazhen people in the Taiping Dazhen people, and it was done in one step, without any step of climbing.
"After all, the rules were quite relaxed at that time, the court and the Taoist sect were not as clear as they are now, and some institutional provisions were not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not as strict as they were later.
"Since the officials of the Daxuan court could serve as deputy head coach Dazhenren in that era, it is not unacceptable to the deputy head coach Dazhenren as chief coach.
"More important point is that Donghuang and Xuansheng are of the same generation. After Xuansheng ascended, Donghuang had no more time. Just as the court officials came to power back then, why did the court officials firmly stop it? First, because Mingkong's foundation is deep and his power skills are quite powerful. Second, because Mingkong was over 60 years old and could not be an emperor for many years, he thought that she was happy, so he did not firmly stop it.
"At that time, the mentality of the Taoist people was almost the same. First, because Donghuang was powerful, Master Yan had ascended, and Yao Zu kept a low profile and had no one to control; second, because Donghuang was old and could not be a master of the great master for many years, he thought he was addicted to being a master of the great master. In this way, Donghuang became the second-generation master of the great master.
"As everyone in the Taoist sect expected, after Emperor Dong took office, he had basically not made much achievements. In addition to improving Yujing, he was the only one who ranked Taoists in the world. He used the concept of equality to claim himself to be the first Taoist priest, and he clarified that the ranking of the great master priests was before the emperor."
After hearing this, Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "So that's it."
Mr. Old Yin also said: "Although Donghuang has carried out the election procedures for the Grand Master, it is essentially unruly and is abnormally promoted, so the Taoist sect has many controversies about him. Those who recognize him call him the second-generation Grand Master, and those who do not recognize him call him the "Donghuang". Generally, they collectively call him the second-generation Grand Master. This is exactly the same as the Queen of Mingkong. Those who recognize Mingkong call her the "Martial Emperor", and those who do not recognize Mingkong call her the "Martial Empress".
After all, he was the one who had been the leader of the Donghuang. As the person involved, Mr. Old Yin explained this past to Qi Xuansu clearly.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, half of the Taoist masters are abnormally promoted."
Mr. Old Yin said: "That's true. Putting aside Xuan Sheng, Donghuang forced himself to become a great master as the deputy head sect, which is an abnormal rise. The sixth generation of the great master is suspected of manipulating the election. Although it is not the subjective intention of the sixth generation of the great master, it is not so normal."
Qi Xuansu took over the conversation: "There is also me, the eighth-generation master, and the Taiping Dao's true scholars withdrew from the seat, which is also not so normal."
Mr. Old Yin said: "I don't have this intention. In fact, even if the members of the Jinque of Taipingdao do not withdraw from the seat and all voted for the others, they still win with the final number of votes from the Grand Master. Therefore, whether Taipingdao withdraws from the seat or not, it will not affect the final election results. Then again, if Taipingdao can be elected, they don't have to use force."
Qi Xuansu said: "But there are still flaws in the end. In this way, only three, four, five, and seven are considered to be normal."
Mr. Old Yin said: "Rules are closely related to the majesty of Yujing. If Yujing is in its prime, then the rules will be strict. If Yujing is weak, the rules will be just a few empty words and pieces of waste paper.
"The Xuansheng era has been fighting. The Donghuang era is too short and is still in the stage of setting rules. During this period, people below fear Xuansheng and fear Donghuang, but they don't care much about the rules. It was not until the third generation of the great masters that truly established the rules. This rule reached its peak during the fifth generation of the great masters, and no one dared to go beyond the line. From the sixth generation of the great masters, it became a very prosperous period and declined. By the time of the seventh generation of the great masters, it was the last line that Qingwei Zhenren guarded the last line."
Qi Xuansu said: "But Master Qingwei can keep it once, but not the second time. This rule was finally broken all over the ground under the trampling of his former Earth Master Yao Ling and the National Master."
Mr. Old Yin said: "So the master of the great master is a key turning point. It's just that this turning point can not only sweep the decline, but also add a little more effort to turn down the downhill road. It depends on how the master of the great master responds."
Qi Xuansu sighed softly.
Mr. Old Yin continued: "Yao Ling became crazy and Li Changgeng was stubborn and self-righteous. It was not worth worrying. The Heavenly Master already supported the Grand Master, and the Qingwei Zhenren could take the overall situation into consideration. So in my opinion, letting Yao Ling go is nothing. The key is that Emperor Xuan Qin Quanshu, the second Taoist priest, is the great trouble of the Grand Master. It's a pity that he retreated decisively when he saw that the situation was not good, and he failed to leave him in Yujing."
Qi Xuansu said solemnly: "I think so too. Buddhists have been studying "Changshengtian" for so many years, but they only dare to cultivate the son of the demon. Even King Kong dare not get involved in the son of the demon. However, in order to successfully plot against the seven generations of masters, Yao Ling dared to swallow the son of the demon directly. She was affected by the demons and had to be defeated frequently. Yao Ling's defeat was not defeated by Qi Niang, nor by me, but by her suicide. Now that the first disciple of the six generations has been defeated, then the first disciple of the seven generations of disciples should appear. I want to see if the Tianshi's prediction is accurate and whether the Emperor's crown will be implemented."
Mr. Old Yin took out a official letter from his sleeve: "I wrote a special note and I will present it to the Grand Master to read it."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Old Yin, we have been in friendship for many years. You are Xiao Yin's grandfather, why should you be so polite?"
Mr. Old Yin insisted: "In the words of Confucians, etiquette should not be abolished."
Qi Xuansu no longer cared about this, took the official letter and quickly browsed it.
Mr. Yin is worthy of being a leader and directly proposed three general directions to Qi Xuansu for Emperor Daxuan.
First of all, differentiate the Confucian sect. Not all Confucian people are willing to be loyal to the emperor. Zhang Taixu is an excellent tool. Now Zhang Taixu is in Jiangnan and wants to play the card Zhang Taixu well.
Secondly, we must take advantage of the differences between the national teacher and the Qingwei Zhenren to promote negotiations and the peace. We must make good use of the orthodox advantages and moral high points of the great master sect, severely punish the national teacher factions, win over the Qingwei Zhenren factions, and use different situations to make the two major factions in the Taiping Road have their own thoughts and no longer be a monolithic.
Finally, defeat Emperor Daxuan with force, and take advantage of this opportunity to regain the power of Emperor Daxuan and start the first step to abolish the emperor's system.
