In summer, green becomes the main color.
This is especially true in Borneo. The climate here is different from that of the Central Plains. There are no four seasons, only two seasons, divided into dry season and rainy season. People usually sow in the rainy season and harvest in the dry season. There are also some islands that have high temperatures and rain all year round, and have dense rainforests where you can sow seeds at any time and harvest in all seasons.
In a sense, this place is much better than some bitter and cold places.
Speaking of the rule of Borneo, it can actually be traced back to the time when Taoism was the last master, that is, the era before Confucianism was the only one. However, they were gradually lost later. If the Qi Dynasty mainly opened up the territory of the Western Regions, then the Wei Dynasty mainly restored the territory of Borneo, such as the famous Sanxuan and Liuwei.
As we all know, the concept of state in Dawei and Daxuan should actually refer to the administrative envoys, under which are the prefectures and counties. In addition to prefectures and counties, there are also chieftains, which are equivalent to prefectures, namely the Xuanwei Division and the Xuanfu Division.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Wei Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty invaded Borneo and established a state here with 56 prefectures and 210 counties under its jurisdiction. It has to be said that Emperor Taizong of the Wei Dynasty was talented and ambitious. This move was not simply to show force, but to echo his naval fleet, making it a base for trade with ships from Western countries.
It's a pity that the local officials at that time were incompetent and stupid. They made money wantonly and were cruel and unkind, which aroused large-scale resistance in Borneo and caused internal fighting among themselves, causing the situation to completely get out of control. Coupled with the incompetence of their descendants, the father and son Renzong and Xuanzong of the Wei Dynasty finally gave up their rule over Borneo in the name of benevolent governance, allowing many chieftain forces to establish independent countries and become tributary states of the Wei Dynasty. The Wei Dynasty no longer directly ruled Borneo. This move greatly damaged the prestige of the central court, dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of the Wei court in the Nanyang region, and shook the Wei court's status as a suzerainty. Not only did the Wei Dynasty lose Nanyang, but it also seriously blocked the communication channels between the Central Plains and the West.
During the Daxuan period, with the support of the Taoist sect, the Daxuan court returned to Borneo. However, at this time, Borneo had been independent for a long time, had lost its people's hearts, and was quite hostile. However, the countries in Borneo were also afraid of Daxuan's force and expressed their surrender one after another. In addition, the main energy of the Daxuan court was in the north, so they did not start a war to directly recover Borneo. Instead, they established the Nanting Protectorate here. The main troops are stationed in several important seaports to control the straits to ensure that the key points of Nanyang are in their own hands.
The Daxuan court had a total of three major Protectorate's Palaces, namely the Nanting Protectorate's Palace, the Beiting Protectorate's Palace, and the Xizhou Protectorate's Palace.
Among them, there is no need to mention the Xizhou Protectorate. The Beiting Protectorate mainly refers to the part of the northern territory that was captured by the Golden Horde. After the Daxuan court recovered it, it was difficult to establish prefectures and counties because these areas were vast and sparsely populated. So he directly ruled with the army, which was the Beiting Protectorate.
According to the original idea of the Daxuan court, there were four courtyards of the Protectorate, which were divided into four directions and guarded the four directions. In addition to the South Courtyard and the North Courtyard, there were also the East Courtyard Protectorate to rule Fenglinzhou, and the West Courtyard Protectorate to rule the Fenglin Island. Western Region. Only after Xizhou was established as a state, Xiting Protectorate was renamed Xizhou Protectorate. Due to various reasons in Fenglinzhou, in order to avoid intensifying conflicts, the Taoist sect decided to unify without governing. The Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office was the vanguard, and the Japanese government was implemented, or it was called using Japanese to control Japanese, so the Dongting Protectorate was finally abolished.
The Nanting Protectorate is different from the Xizhou Protectorate. Unless there is a large-scale rebellion or invasion by foreign enemies, it generally will not directly intervene in the internal affairs of Borneo.
At the level of the imperial court, Daxuan did not directly rule Borneo, but at the level of the Taoist sect, the Taoist sect directly brought Borneo under its control and established the Borneo Taoist Palace.
The Borneo Taoist Government has always adhered to the philosophy of Taoism and will not interfere too much in specific political affairs, leaving a certain amount of space for local small courts.
Nowadays, the most powerful country among the Borneo kingdoms is called Dayu. At first glance, it sounds equivalent to Daxuan, and it seems to be a unified dynasty. In fact, the so-called Dayu Dynasty had to submit a petition to Emperor Daxuan, the leader of the Celestial Kingdom, and request for canonization. Then Emperor Daxuan would canonize him as a king, lower than the emperor and equal to a prince. He was one of the many vassal states of Daxuan.
The Borneo Taoist Prefecture was established in Thang Long, the capital of Dayu Kingdom.
A flying boat passed over Borneo and headed towards Thang Long Mansion.
Qi Xuansu looked at the green color below through the window of the flying boat. Everything was growing crazily, and there was a vibrant scene everywhere.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but recall the first time he took a flying boat. Many people were crowded together. There were about a hundred passengers alone. This time, he was still riding a flying boat, but it was his own flying boat.
At this time, Thang Long City is already in sight.
At this time, opposite Qi Xuansu, Yao Shu, the chief deputy hall master of Ziweitang, sat.
Of course, it is impossible for Master Donghua to send Qi Xuansu to his post in person - that would be too mobilizing and would cause unnecessary reactions from all parties. Maybe the next day there will be rumors that Qi Xuansu is actually the illegitimate son of Master Donghua.
However, in order to show his importance, Master Donghua still sent the second person in Ziweitang, Yao Shu, who was also from the Yao family.
Judging from the seniority of the Yao family, Yao Shu is Yao Pei's uncle, just the same generation as Qi Xuansu. The two are still brothers, and Qi Xuansu calls him eldest brother.
Judging from the seniority of the Taoist sect, Yao Shu is a disciple of the seventh generation and can be regarded as the predecessor of Qi Xuansu.
The key two people are still colleagues, but Qi Xuansu didn't spend much time in Ziwei Hall, so he didn't have much interaction with the chief deputy hall master.
The two of them got along quite well along the way. Yao Shu joked: "Recently, there have been a series of personnel changes in the Taoist sect. I have no time to spare. I just sent Master Zhang to Jiangnan Daofu some time ago, and then I will send you Master Qi." When I go to the Borneo Taoist Palace, I'm afraid there will be new errands waiting for me when I go back."
Qi Xuansu said: "In normal times, as Chief Yao, I don't have to go out for several months. It's just like the slack and busy farming, and now is the busy farming season."
"That's true." Yao Shu agreed with Qi Xuansu's statement.
Soon, the flying boat began to slowly descend.
There is a green lake below, named Guijian Lake. It is said that before the uprising of the Dayu Kingdom, the founder of the Yu Kingdom accidentally obtained a sword blade with the word "Shun Tian" engraved on it. Later, he picked up a sword hilt and spelled it out. Together they become a divine sword. He used this sword to defeat many Wei armies and later became the king. While taking a boat on the lake, he suddenly saw a golden turtle emerging from the water and swimming to the side of the boat. He said to him: "The enemy has been defeated. Please, Your Majesty." Give me back my sword." As soon as he finished speaking, the sword on King Dayu's waist suddenly shook and fell into the beetle's mouth, and the beetle then dived to the bottom of the lake with the sword in his mouth. King Dayu and his ministers were very surprised. They thought it was a god appearing and called the golden turtle the divine golden turtle. In order to express their respect for the golden turtle, the name of the lake was changed to Guijian Lake from then on. Later, it was said that the sword was returned by an immortal and inserted into the lake. The hilt of the sword remained on the water, forming a small pagoda in the center of the lake.
Today, Guijian Lake has become a port where flying boats take off and land.
People from the Borneo Province got the news early and were already at the lake to greet him.
The leader is Chen Shuhua, the chief deputy governor of the Borneo Taoist Palace, and there are several other deputy governors.
After putting down the gangway, Yao Shu appeared first, followed by Qi Xuansu.
Chen Shuhua first met with Yao Shu and then with Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu secretly looked at this future colleague. She was a female Taoist priest, about thirty or forty years old. Her appearance was naturally good, but she was not as dignified and majestic as Master Cihang, and her demeanor was slightly feminine.
Zhang Yuelu has Danfeng eyes, which are thin but not small, black and white are distinct, the black eyes are hidden inside but not exposed, the ends of the eyes are smooth and slightly upturned, and the width is just right, showing a bit of sharpness and majesty.
If it is too long and narrow, it will become a fox eye. As the name suggests, it is like the eyes of a fox, less sharp and majestic, and more sinister and gentle.
This chief deputy palace master was born with a pair of fox eyes, which left a deep impression on Qi Xuansu.
The structure of the Taoist palace is like a triangle. The highest corner is naturally the head of the palace, and the two corners at the bottom are the chief and second seats respectively. Now Qi Xuansu is the second in command, not the chief's subordinate, but more like the chief's check or opponent.
If Qi Xuansu went to his post alone, or was accompanied by other deputy palace masters, then it would not be Chen Shuhua who came to greet him at this time, but probably just other deputy palace masters. But because of the arrival of Yao Shu, the chief deputy hall master, the entire standard has been improved a lot. It can be seen from this that although Master Donghua did not come in person, his thoughts have already arrived.
As for the great master in charge, Lan Hexu, and the master in charge, Wang Jiaohe, they were welcomed at the Sheji Palace of Borneo Taoist Prefecture.
Sheji Palace was originally the Confucian Temple of the Dayu Kingdom. It was not only a place to worship Confucian saints, but also the highest institution of learning. It was just that after the Taoist sect took over the world, the imperial court of Dayu took the initiative to convert the Confucian Temple into a Taoist palace without even asking the Taoist sect to please the Taoist sect, hoping that the Taoist sect would not directly regain Borneo.
Of course, the Taoist clan and the Daxuan court would not give up directly regaining Borneo just because of a Taoist palace. They only allowed Borneo to remain a vassal state because of issues such as insufficient foundation, difficulty in governance, excessive financial burden, and the tendency to cause conflicts. status, and the Sheji Palace, which was converted from a Confucian Temple, was accepted by the Taoist sect and became the seat of the Borneo Taoist Palace.
The motorcade arrived in front of the Sheji Palace, and the two people standing at the front were the Grand Master and the Master.
Again, Qi Xuansu's identity is not enough for a great master Pingzhang and a great master Shenzhi to come out to welcome him in person. Apart from Yao Shu's reasons, it is now widely rumored that Qi Xuansu is bringing " "The task" was mainly to sort out certain factions that existed within the Borneo Taoist government.
Don't underestimate the word "combing". This is just a euphemistic term within the Taoist sect. If it really means purging, there is no problem. I don't know how many people will be killed.
In a sense, Qi Xuansu is the imperial envoy sent by the superiors. He represents not only himself, but also Jinque. Naturally, the Borneo Taoist government must treat him seriously.
