Fenghong Villa is not a sect, so the power structure of the Villa was actually built to serve the Jing Dynasty from the beginning. Although almost all of them are monks, in many aspects it is closer to the military system.
For example, the Golden Sword Battalion, the strongest combat force in Fenghong Villa, follows the path of the main force in the military from selection to training to training.
Moreover, the royal ancestral temple located at the core of Fenghong Villa is not just a decoration. Its symbolic meaning has clearly divided the entire Fenghong Villa.
To put it simply, Fenghong Villa is based on the royal family as the core, plus the disciples recruited and trained as the backbone, using the military method, and adding some sect methods. After integration, the Jingjiu Dynasty is formed. A collection of armed forces serving Jiangshan.
This can be seen from the fact that Yang Xiusheng is not the highest in cultivation but is in charge of the strongest Golden Sword Camp in Fenghong Villa.
It is precisely this kind of internal structure that makes Fenghong Villa seem calm, but in fact there are always undercurrents, and the contradictions in it are gradually deepening.
This is not a conflict over rights, but a conflict over the ideals of being a monk.
Yang Xiusheng is very aware of these contradictions, just like now, Duan Jue, the second elder with a high status in Fenghong Villa, speaks to him in person. The root cause is that this ideological contradiction has reached a very prominent point.
Duan Jue is not a member of the royal family. At most, he is related to the royal family. The blood relationship is far away. There are many situations like Duan Jue's in Fenghong Villa. Invisibly, it represents a voice in the villa, and what this voice wants to express is increasingly different from the interests of the royal family represented by Yang Xiusheng.
To put it simply, the difference between the two parties lies in the "behavior" of Fenghong Villa.
What Duan Jue wants is that Fenghong Villa can do its duty of finalizing the power of the old dynasty. Improving the cultivation and actual combat ability of the disciples in the Villa is the first priority. The rest of the things are just minutiae, and if you pay a little attention to them, it will be almost passable. Don't let external distractions disrupt your pace.
However, Yang Xiu Sheng's ideas are different from those represented by Duan Jue.
As an absolute supporter of the royal family and an old man of the royal family who has experienced two generations of emperors, Yang Xiusheng naturally has in his heart not only Maple Red Villa, but the entire Jingjiu Dynasty.
Having witnessed the brutal fighting before the emperor ascended the throne, and also knowing the unspeakable life of the emperor after he ascended the throne, and even seeing the hesitation and complexity of the emperor's reluctance and relief before his death, Yang Xiu Sheng had three thoughts of "Jing the old dynasty" in his heart. The words are no lighter than those of each generation of emperors.
Yang Xiusheng didn't care what the previous generations of Fenghong Villa leaders thought, but when he came here, his attitude towards the sect became increasingly unpleasant. Especially as Fenghong Villa's strength has continued to rise over the years, it is difficult to hold back the energy in his heart.
In Yang Xiusheng's view, it seemed dispensable to let the sect eat away at the resources of the Jing Dynasty bit by bit, but over time, the accumulated losses over thousands of years were actually staggering. Yang Xiusheng even believed that it was time to change this situation.
However, the late emperor Yang Jian was not a negotiable person. He was very opinionated and stubborn. So Yang Xiu Sheng endured it until the new emperor Yang Shu came to the throne. Yang Shu happened to be a tough guy who was completely unyielding and unafraid of trouble. temperament, so after Yang Xiu Sheng explained his interests to him, he got Yang Shu's permission.
It was at this time that a young man from the Black Flag Battalion came into Yang Xiusheng's sight.
This young man is Shen Hao.
In Yang Xiusheng's eyes, Shen Hao was a once-in-a-lifetime sword, as if it was tailor-made for Fenghong Villa. It was perfect for dealing with the current situation.
First of all, Shen Hao's identity is very suitable. Not only was he a private soldier of the emperor, but he also had close contacts with the sect and had the status of a registered disciple of a first-rate sect. This gave Shen Hao a natural entry point for both the Jing Dynasty and the sect.
Secondly, Shen Hao's cultivation talent is very good, and his luck is incredible. As long as he does not die prematurely, he will definitely be able to enter the Xuanhai realm, and he will be trained by Pang Ban, the commander of Xuanqing Guard, as his successor. His status is sufficient.
Finally, looking at Shen Hao's resume, Yang Xiusheng was most satisfied with this ruthless young man. Today's Fenghong Villa needs such a bold, careful and ruthless person to open up the situation.
So taking advantage of the previous opportunity to wipe out four second-rate sects, Yang Xiusheng, with the consent of Emperor Yang Shu, assigned the position of Foreign Affairs Archdeacon of Fenghong Villa to Shen Hao.
Although it didn't last long, under Yang Xiusheng's deliberate indulgence, Shen Hao's ability and acting style were completely in line with Yang Xiusheng's initial hopes. His tough methods directly replaced the gentle and soft-spoken attitude of Fenghong Villa in the past. . Not only that, but now he is taking the opportunity to dig a hole for the sect, trying to trick the other party.
After all, it was Xuan Qingwei, and everything he did and thought was in line with the interests of the Jingjiu Dynasty, not anything else.
Not to mention Duan Jue, who only wants to maintain the bottom line of Fenghong Villa's existence and is unwilling to break the shameful balance of the entire situation. He only hopes to save more time for his own practice and does not want to be disturbed by external disturbances.
"Is Shen Hao suitable for Fenghong Villa? Could it be that Elder Duan can't see it?" Yang Xiu Sheng called these elders here today just to circulate the copper strips that Shen Hao reported. He wanted to take a look at these elders below. attitude, and be prepared to make your attitude clearer.
Duan Jue shook his head and said: "I only see that Deacon Shen's rampage is breaking the balance between Fenghong Villa and the sect for thousands of years. No one can say what changes this will bring. But one thing is now I can say it with certainty."
"Oh? What makes Elder Duan so sure?"
Duan Jue looked at Yang Xiu Sheng and said word by word: "It will break the peace in Fenghong Villa and make Fenghong Villa no longer peaceful."
As soon as Duan Jue finished speaking, Yang Xiu Sheng, who was sitting at the top, snorted coldly and said in a bad tone: "Peace? When has there ever been peace in this world?
In the southeast, northwest, where are people not dying every day? Can't you see the evil cultivators, the evil spirits, the rogue cultivators who cause trouble, and the gangsters among ordinary people?
Although the barbarians in the south have been killed to pieces, who dares to take it lightly?
The sect has been like mosquito bites for thousands of years, occupying the resources of the country bit by bit and growing continuously. The accumulation of a small amount of money is now shocking.
In the eyes of Elder Duan, is this peace? Or is it the so-called peace if you close your eyes and pretend you can't see? "
Yang Xiu Sheng was very powerful when he spoke, and invisible pressure filled the entire meeting hall.
Without waiting for Duan Jue to explain, he continued: "Shen Hao is a sword, used to kill enemies and destroy bandits. I think it is suitable for today's Fenghong Villa! It also just makes some people in the Villa wake up, so as not to be as confused as an eagle dog! "
