Chapter 208: The Willow War
There are generally four relationships between processes and results: correct results obtained by correct processes, wrong results obtained by wrong processes, wrong results obtained by correct processes, wrong results obtained by wrong processes, and wrong processes to obtain correct results.
Regardless of the first two things that seek benevolence and get benevolence, only the latter two things are mentioned. If Li Xuan is asked to choose both, he will definitely use the wrong process to get a correct result, rather than use the right process to get a wrong result. Because he is not a moral saint or a gentleman who cultivates oneself, he is considering the result, not in accordance with morality and rules.
Take the Tianle Sect now as an example. It is impossible to get the correct result with the correct process, so he can only try to get the correct result with the wrong process. Therefore, Li Xuan knew that his plan was not in line with morality, nor with the rules of the world, but he still had to do this.
What he wants is only the result, not the process.
To uphold people's hearts is something that saints who educate the world consider. What Li Xuandu wants is only peace.
The word "Taiping" is not big or small.
Bai Meiniang was still confused and asked, "Silijian and Qingluanwei are both the Empress Dowager's people. Will they really tear their faces because of this?"
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I heard Chou Nuer say that Bai Meiniang, you are incompatible with Feng Louchun, the current manager, is almost incompatible with the water and fire. But to outsiders, you are all people who are drunk with spring breeze. The Silijian and Qingluanwei are also generally the same, but the situation is more complicated. After all, the size of the Qingluanwei is not enough to be compared with the Silijian, which is known as the inner court. In fact, the dispute between the Silijian and the Qingluanwei can actually be regarded as an internal struggle between the Silijian."
Bai Meiniang asked, "How do you say this?"
Li Xuandu said: "Qingluanwei is nominally owned by the emperor. However, since the cabinet and the Silijian officially surpassed the court during the Ming Yong period, it has gradually changed to the situation of the Ministry of Justice, the Supervision Court, and the Dali Temple. Therefore, I said that the Qingluanwei is not enough to compete with the Silijian."
Li Xuandu continued: "There are four great ministers in the cabinet, namely the chief minister, the second assistant, and the two group assistants. The Silijian corresponds to four eunuchs, namely: the seal, the chief Bingbi, and the two pens. Since Emperor Shizong Su of this dynasty, the palace has set iron rules. The twenty-four yamen headed by the Silijian and the Imperial Horse Supervisor are under the jurisdiction of the Silijian, and the Qingluanwei is under the jurisdiction of the Silijian, so as not to form a situation where the Silijian is the chief Bingbi, the seal of the Silijian, and the chief eunuch of the Qingluanwei. The chief Bingbi and the Silijian are incompatible. The two father-in-law have been fighting in open and secretly since the late emperor to the present, so I said that the dispute between the Silijian and the Qingluanwei is actually an internal struggle between the Silijian."
"When the late emperor was in power, the four ministers in the cabinet were powerful, so the Silijian had no voice. Until now, the Empress Dowager and the King of Jin were involved in power. Although the Silijian held real power, they still did not show their faces. Therefore, for the world, the Silijian was a bit confused. In the Silijian, there were two great officials who were regarded as ancestors by countless eunuchs, which is the two we just mentioned. Among them, the Silijian was the leader of Yin, and was called Yang, who was born in Buddhism and was said to be a figure like Amitabha. The Silijian was named Liu, and was called Liu, and his roots were only in Taoism.
He is known as the true man of Xuan Qing; both of them are old ministers of the late emperor, with deep foundation in the palace, each with a son and grandson, and clearly distinguished, so the battle between them is also called the Yangliu Fight. If I expected it was right, your Tianle Sect took the path of the Silijian, which should be the path of the Yangluan Eunuch. This can explain why the Qingluan Guard of Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Liu and Eunuch Liu were coming to force you to change the sect. Of course, the Qingluan Guard is not a monolithic part, and it cannot be regarded as a member of Eunuch Liu's school. Lu Yanbing came here more out of selfishness."
Hearing this, Chou Nuer couldn't help asking, "What's the reason?"
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Public practice is different from being mixed in the world. We can distinguish between good and evil in the world. But the court cannot do it. What are loyal ministers? What are treacherous ministers? What are wise ministers? There are no real wise ministers, because wise and unvirtuous sometimes cannot be allowed to them. When the emperor uses you, you are wise ministers, loyal ministers; when the emperor does not use you, you are treacherous ministers, treacherous ministers; when the emperor does not use you, you are treacherous ministers, and when the emperor uses you, you are treacherous ministers; when the emperor uses you, you are treacherous ministers, and I am dismissed. This is the emperor's mind. Because of this, there can be no iron in the court. If it is singular, where can the emperor be placed? So no matter whether you are the outer court, the inner court, the clear stream, or the royal family, you have me in you, and I am in you, this is the court."
Bai Meiniang then understood the twists and turns, and also understood why Li Xuandu was confident that Silijian and Qingluanwei would compete with each other. Because of this kind of internal struggle, all she wanted was a reason. Even if she knew that the reason was fake, she wouldn't care.
Li Xuandu said again: "The key now is not how Qingluanwei and the Sili Commission will react in the future, nor whether they can attack and kill Zuichunfeng, but whether you can truly master the Tianle Sect. If you can, then great things can be accomplished. Whether the attack and kill are successful or not, you can advance and retreat freely. If you cannot, then everything will be discussed."
Bai Meiniang suddenly browed.
Li Xuan didn't even urge him, but just waited quietly.
He knew that his junior sister was a greedy guy since she was a child. If she had just wanted to cut a piece of meat from Tianle Sect before, then after she noticed the purpose of Li Xuandu and others, she would probably have the idea of swallowing Tianle Sect in one bite. So she would not kindly remind Zui Chunfeng to be careful, and would only stand on the shore to watch the boat capsized, and then stage a scene of the oriole being behind.
Her personality is really like her third senior brother.
No wonder, after all, she was taught by the third senior brother, so it is not surprising that she would act like this.
Li Xuan was a little moved. From his master to his disciple, it was like this. It was a pity that his senior brother with a kind nature passed away too early. Otherwise, with his kind nature, he would have inherited his master and followed his junior brothers and sisters, and he would probably not be like this today.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh at himself.
How good was the Zifu Sword Immortal back then? The Jianghu commented on him: "If you don't match your words, you will draw your sword, and if you draw your sword, you will kill someone." Although this statement is suspected of being exaggerated, it can also be seen that the Zifu Sword Immortal back then was so strong that after being besieged by the heroes in Jiangbei and his mind changed drastically, his anger was even more serious than other senior brothers and sisters.
It is also ironic. When he was still the Sword Immortal of the Purple Mansion, he was the best relationship with this junior sister. It had nothing to do with the level of force, but it was all due to his temperament. When he wanted to be a good person, he gradually became distant because of the different ways.
After a long time, Bai Meiniang finally spoke: "Most of my confidant and direct descendants are those who oppose Zui Chunfeng. Most of them are the old people left by the old sect leader back then. This is also one of the reasons why Zui Chunfeng dared not touch me for a long time. As for Zui Chunfeng's confidant and direct descendants..."
She turned to Qin Louyue and looked at him: "I'm going to ask Junior Sister Qin."
Qin Louyue bit her lower lip lightly, and hesitated a little.
If she looked only from the side, she was still an absolute beauty, with her almond eyes, peach cheeks, cherry mouth, and willow-leaved eyebrows, which almost satisfyed all the scholars' yearning for Yan Ruyu in the book. At this time, she hesitated and thought, and looked more quiet, but it was a pity that the scar on the other half of her face.
After a while, Qin Louyue slowly said: "In addition to the two factions of the deputy sect leader and the great manager, there are also people who directly belong to the sect leader, which are divided into three parts, and are controlled by the three great deacons. I am only one of them, and there are two others, but fortunately one of them is away all year round and is not in the 'Tianle Taoyuan' now."
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I can guarantee that most people will follow orders without knowing it. Even if there is a thorn in which they do not follow orders, they can be solved without intention. But it must be fast. If you wait until Zong... Zui Chunfeng comes forward, it will be difficult for me to control the situation."
