Chen Tianwen mentioned the words "abandoned disciple of the sect", which made Shen Hao a little confused.
Then Chen Tianwen continued: "Have you heard about the Guishan Monastery north of Licheng?"
"I've heard of it. It is said that it is a first-class sect within the Kingdom. It seems that every five years they recruit new disciples within the jurisdiction of the Licheng Guardhouse, right?"
"That's right. Although Guishan Monastery is not as good as the top ten sects in the country, it is still a first-class sect. There are thousands of disciples in the sect, all of whom are powerful. If you want to get started, you have to choose from thousands of people and it is extremely strict. But the four Ten years ago, Tang Baihu was one of the few good cultivators in the world. He was spotted by an outer deacon of Guishan Monastery and was brought back to teach him.
But two years later, for unknown reasons, Tang Baihu's Taoist foundation was severely damaged, and he also violated some taboos in the sect, and was directly expelled from Guishan Monastery.
However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Taoist foundation was greatly damaged, Guishan Monastery could no longer look down on Tang Baihu's talent, but compared to ordinary monks, Tang Baihu was still "very powerful", so he was defeated by Xuanqing Wei He accepted and worked all the way to the position of official of hundreds of households.
There is also news outside that Tang Baihu and Jiang Qianhu from Fengri City are distant relatives, but the truth is unknown. However, I have been in Licheng for so many years, and I can see that Jiang Qianhu does take good care of Tang Baihu, and the possibility of rumors is still there. "
Shen Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "So Tang Baihu and Jiang Qianhu are actually on the same line?"
"Hey, that's not necessarily the case."
"Why?"
"Jiang Qianhu was born in the military, which is the largest faction in our Xuanqing Guard, but Tang Baihu was not born in the military. Strictly speaking, Tang Baihu should belong to the noble faction. Even if they are related, It doesn’t prevent them from belonging to both lines.”
I have long heard that there are several factions in the Xuanqing Guard, including the "Junwu Faction" who came from the military and joined the Xuanqing Guard; the "Xungui Faction" who relied on the Xungui Group; and the "Qinggui Faction" who came from the grassroots Tie"
However, things like factions are still a bit far away for Shen Hao. His current rank is only at level six, so even if he wants to take sides, he is not qualified to be included in the "faction" category.
reason? A big official, who cares which faction you belong to?
In fact, strictly speaking, Tang Qingyuan has just entered the category of faction.
Before Shen Hao could continue to ask, Chen Tianwen continued: "After talking about Tang Baihu, let's talk about Chen Baihu next. Hey, there are actually a lot of messages about Chen Baihu in Fengri City. You just need to go and find out. It's easy to find out by asking around.
Let’s start with the factions. Chen Baihu is neither from the "military family" nor from the "honorable family" but from the "Xiu clan family". Hehe, have you never heard of the term “cultivation lineage”? "
Shen Hao shook his head. The name "Xiu Clan" sounded really awkward.
"Although there are not many cultivating factions in the Xuanqing Guard, they cannot be underestimated. They all come from various cultivating families in the country. Although many of them have titles, they are fundamentally the same as the nobles. There are essential differences between the cultivators. The characteristic of the cultivators is that their cultivation is much higher than that of ordinary cultivators, but somewhat worse than that of the orthodox cultivators.
In fact, if you pay more attention to some local affairs, you will find that the four factions of the Xiu clan, the military, the Xungui, and the Qinggui have filled all aspects of the dynasty, and it is not only the Xuanqing Weili. exist.
Well... Chen Baihu is from the Chen family in Changping Town. It is said that he seems to be the eldest son of the third family. The Chen family in Changping Town had a large magic weapon workshop and had a close cooperative relationship with the military, so Chen Baihu was able to get the position of Chief Officer of the Black Flag Camp of Qianhu Institute against other competitors.
I also heard that when Chen Baihu started working at the Qianhu Office, he had a direct fight with Jiang Qianhu. A man with such a bad temper like Jiang Qianhu couldn't get rid of Chen Baihu, so you can figure it out for yourself. "
A man from a hundred households dares to go head-to-head with an official from a thousand households? Qianhuguan, who can still be forced, can't do anything to him? !
Would something like this happen in an institution as violent as Xuan Qingwei? !
Shen Hao looked surprised, and even instinctively felt that what Chen Tianwen said was a bit too exaggerated.
When Chen Tianwen saw Shen Hao's expression of disbelief, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't believe it yet, these things are not secrets. As time goes by, when you have connections in Fengri City, you will know whether what I said is true." No need to lie to you."
"Don't mind, Mr. Chen Qi, it's just that what you just said was a bit abrupt and I was surprised. If you continue, I will gain a lot of knowledge."
"Oh, let's continue talking. We just talked about Tang Baihu and Chen Baihu. You should have some knowledge of them now. In addition, Black Flag Camp has indeed become an east wind. If you want to take advantage of this, you must choose Take a side, otherwise I'm sure you'll be transferred within a year."
"But which side should I choose? From what you said, it seems that Chen Baihu's side is much tougher than Tang Baihu's side. Should I choose Chen Baihu?"
"If I were asked to choose, I would choose neither Tang Baihu nor Chen Baihu. I would choose Jiang Qianhu! Don't worry, listen to me." Chen Tianwen waved his hand to signal Shen Hao not to worry, and then said: " On the surface, it seems that Chen Baihu has a thicker thigh, but you must know that the "Xiu Clan" is notoriously exclusive. They can't really accept you, a rootless and unreliable retail monk. At most, they will take advantage of you. You're just doing something.
After all, Tang Baihu's foundation was too shallow, and he had no higher-level connections. If he followed him, let alone whether he could withstand Chen Baihu's squeeze, there would be no hope for his future.
So your only way to break the deadlock is to go directly to Jiang Qianhu. The best thing to do is to seek refuge with him. "
"I'm just a general flag officer who is trying out the title of Baihu. It's impossible for Jiang Qianhu to take a fancy to me, right?"
"Hehe, I might have looked down upon you before, but that's not the case now. You are now used as a role model for the Black Flag Camp by the imperial court and will be popularized as an example. The benefits of this reputation are much richer than you think.
Moreover, your rootless and helpless background can be counted in the "Qinggui Clan" from now on, and the Qinggui Clan and the Military Clan have been close for a long time. This identity can make Jiang Qianhu less wary of you.
Okay, having said all that, it’s time to go back to work. Gone, gone. "
"Hey, Mr. Chen Qi won't sit down for a while?"
"We're not going to sit down anymore. Let's find some time to have some drinks after your affairs are settled."
"must!"
Chen Tianwen just left, leaving Shen Hao with a deep frown.
Firstly, Shen Hao still didn't understand why Chen Tianwen came to "teach" him so much; secondly, what Chen Tianwen said was a lot of information, and Shen Hao needed to digest it.
He leaned back in his chair and sorted out what Chen Tianwen had just said in his mind.
After that, Shen Hao found Wang Jian.
"Didn't you say before that your family has some business connections in Fengli City? Help me find out some information about Chen Yiyun, the official of 100 households in the Black Flag Camp of Qianhu Suo..."
