Chapter 162 Promise
Jing Tianming sent people to send the eight snake heads he had cut down to Xiujing camp. After Qingwei Zhenren screened, he sent one of the snake heads to Pingjing, and once again put pressure on Pingjing's royal family and forced him to surrender.
The Taoist Sect can kill Yamata Orochi without sending out the immortals, which means it is not difficult for the Taoist Sect to capture Pekini, but the Taoist Sect does not want to cause greater casualties, so it gives Pekini a chance to end with a decent end.
Of course, Heikyo understood this truth. The reason why Xiko in Feigong tried her best to escape was because only when she was alive could the royal family have the qualification to negotiate.
Of course, if you can't win the front battlefield, you can't get the ones on the negotiating table. Such peace talks are just unilateral surrender of the royal family.
Soon, the royal family replied, accepting the conditions of Taoist sect.
According to the content of the first peace talks, the royal family agreed to punish criminals who provoked the war, including many important officials of the court, including the Left Minister. All Taoist rogues were dismissed and the state religion of Tianmen were abolished. All troops were adapted according to the standards of Taoist sect, the aristocratic system was reformed, and the land system was reformed. The royal family was demoted to the royal family and surrendered to the Daxuan court. The royal family only existed as a symbol and no longer held real power. The Toyotomi Prime Minister's Office accepted all rights of the Pingjing court and its yamen at all levels.
In addition, the Taoist Sect also put forward additional conditions. The three major artifacts should not be left in the hands of the royal family after being downgraded, and should be kept by the Fenglinzhou Taoist Palace. In fact, at this point, the royal family does not have much say. The key is to look at Fei Gong Xizi. Perhaps the national master first broke the incarnation of the three main gods and then killed the dragon with a sword, which scared Fei Gong Xizi's courage. The last king of Zhai did not insist too much and agreed to this condition.
The reason why the royal family agreed so happily was because the Taoist sect has had a very good reputation over the years and has never done anything to go back on their word, so there is no need to worry about settlement in the future.
In this way, the balance that Taoist sect hopes is reached.
The Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion holds real power, and the royal family is only used as a symbol. However, there are also the existence of the Da Tiangou and Hiramiya Hiko in the royal family, which can play a role in checking and balancing the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion. The Fenglinzhou Daofu is in the middle and balanced, not on which side it is on. However, checking and balancing each other does not mean that it will cause a cruel party struggle, so Shin-King-Wei asked Toyotomi Hidemao to marry Tamako Yoshiki to ease the relationship between the two parties by marriage.
After the royal family agreed to the conditions for surrender, Pingjing opened the city without blood, and the Daomen army officially entered Pingjing. The king of Fenglin Prefecture led the royal family members to welcome him, which meant the royal family's surrender.
After the army entered the city, the Fenglinzhou royal family submitted a letter of state to the Daxuan court, expressing their tribute, requesting the enthronement, and submitting the two proposed national names "Fenglin", "Weiyuan" to the Emperor Daxuan's ruling. Emperor Daxuan finally chose the new national name "Fenglin".
In the name of the emperor of the Sect Master, he was appointed as the King of Fenglin, which was equivalent to the title of prince in the Daxuan court, and was given gold seals, imperial edicts, crowns, nine chapters, jade jade, jade, concubine pearls and jade, seven-dizhu crowns, xia capes, gold pendants, classics and colorful coins, etc.
Since then, all the kings of Fenglinzhou have been granted the title of King Fenglin as usual. They can only call themselves the solitary or the widow, and cannot call themselves me. Ministers can only call themselves the king or the highness, and cannot call themselves the emperor or the emperor, otherwise they will be usurper.
At the same time, the Daxuan court also made regulations that King Fenglin's official uniform was a python robe with red background and gold pattern, and Queen Fenglin was decorated with phoenixes. Princess, princesses and concubines were decorated with floral patterns. Chi Zhaiyi was a licensed prince-level clothing. As the rank of Queen Fenglin, Queen Fenglin, the princess could not be overtaken.
In the past hundred years, the Taoist sect has changed a lot to Fenglinzhou. Most of the middle class have followed the Central Plains, from clothing to manners, habits, and various customs, and even the tone of speaking. The closer they get to Dijing's accent, the more authentic it is. Many Japanese people are proud of their fluent Central Plains Mandarin, and many people even like to mix some obscure Central Plains vocabulary in daily Japanese dialect communication, and use them in two languages to demonstrate their own advancedness.
Only the upper class still retained traditional clothing. After the royal family took office, the Daxuan court directly made regulations on the clothing of the royal family, that is, to implement "change clothing" from top to bottom. As the saying goes, the upper class and the middle class are proud to imitate the Central Plains, then the civilians at the bottom will naturally follow suit.
Another point is that since you have to wear a hair and wear a crown when you are shaved, you cannot wear a hair and a crown when you are shaved, so you will naturally have to accumulate hair. This is hair and clothing.
Next is the reform of the title system. Because the royal family has been demoted to the royal family, the prince and the inner prince were abolished, and six grades were divided into princes and princes and princes. The original prince was demoted to princess, and the prince was demoted to princess. The head of the Toyotomi family was also a prince, and it was the only prince of a different surname, and then divided it down one by one.
At this point, the top-down reform of the royal family is nominally operated by the Taoist sect behind the scenes. In other words, the titles that the vassal names of the vassal lords in various places can be awarded depends not only on their own strength, but also on the attitude of the Taoist sect.
For example, Toyotomi Chiyo, she is Toyotomi Hideoji's sister. With Toyotomi Hideoji's death, she is destined to be a marginal figure in the prime minister's mansion. It would be good to be the county lord, but because she is a benchmark figure introduced by the Taoist sect, the degree of Taoist sect is transformed.
It was extremely deep, so it was directly named Princess, which was equivalent to all princes and daughters, and even on an equal footing with Toyotomi Hidemoto.
There is also Yoshihiko Asai. Although his ancestors were a vassal lord, they had long declined. In terms of strength, they could at most be a viscount. However, because of his great contributions, they were canonized as a marquis. Masao Maeda, who chose to surrender to the Taoist sect, was also canonized as a marquis.
Sonmasa Yayoi, who has always firmly supported and supported the Taoist sect, was named Duke. Sonmasa Yayoi was unwilling to accept it and gave the title to his son. The Taoist sect also specially gave it to his second-rank fellow Taoist priest, and treated the same as Suzuka Yuqian. This time, Sonmasa Yayoi accepted it happily.
Of course, the Qingwei Zhenren and the Dazhenren Zhang Qihan would not do these things personally. At most, the people below will draft a list and then submit them to review and approval. The main decision was made by Fenglinzhou Dao Mansion, Temple Sacrifice Hall, and Ziwei Hall.
As the deputy head of Ziwei Hall, Qi Xuansu is also among the people. He has no interest in these dukes, marquis and uncles. He just proposed to enthrone a woman named Huanji as a viscount. The reason is very sufficient. The proportion of women among the nobles in Fenglinzhou is too small, and most of them are princesses and county lords from royal families. They cannot reflect the concept of equality in the Taoist sect and need to focus on it.
Of course, this reason is high-sounding. When it comes to moral integrity within the Taoist sect, no one can object, or at least not openly. In addition, the big interests here are concentrated at the level of the Duke, and a small viscount is really insignificant. Moreover, Qi Xuansu did not mix with the ratings of these Dukes, which was equivalent to giving up his share. Many people were happy to repay their favor, so they directly designated Huan Ji from the Viscount to the Earl.
So there was an extra female count in Fenglinzhou.
For the people in the Taoist sect, they are not the count of the Daxuan court, but just a matter of writing, which is nothing.
When Huanji learned that she was about to be enthroned as earl, she was also a little afraid while being happy, and deeply felt the power of Qi Gaogong and the background.
On the official side, he could let himself, a small flag book with at most barons, jump to two levels and become a count. In terms of commerce, he could also introduce himself to the top merchants on the Central Plains. What kind of energy is this?
But this Qi Gaogong has always been very busy. He either participated in the war or seemed very mysterious on the way to the expedition.
So Huanji became more and more curious about Qi Gaogong. She was a long-standing dancer. She had already established some contacts with a local deacon Taoist priest. When she held a banquet, she began to ask about it indirectly.
The matter of Qi Gaogong.
Taiping money and wine can always quickly bring people closer together. In addition, this is not a secret topic. The deacon Taoist priest directly said everything he knew: "Qi Gaogong? You are talking about Deputy Master Qi, that's really amazing. Young talented people, many people say that he is the fourth show of Taoism. Do you know who can be called "show"? First, you must be young, not over thirty years old, and second, you must be excellent enough to compete for the position of the great master."
The master!
Huanji's pupils contracted slightly, which was both shocked and felt some unspeakable pressure.
That is not something that King Tianmenzhai or Emperor Fenglinzhou can compare with. The Great Master of the Fenglinzhou Daofu, the Army Master, and even the National Master are all subordinates of the Great Master.
That was the leader of the Taoist sect, and even the leader of the entire Eastern world.
The deacon Taoist was drunk a little, and regardless of Huan Ji's reaction, he said to himself: "It's of course a bit far away when talking about the position of the Grand Master of the Grand Master. The seventh generation of Grand Master of the Grand Master was not selected, so the eighth generation of Grand Master of the Grand Master was not selected. It's still a few decades later. Let's talk about the present moment. Jinque ordered a reward from Deputy Hall Master Qi, and Zhang Daren personally read the commendation order and passed the preaching sect. What kind of treatment is this? I heard that Deputy Hall Master Qi will be promoted to the next seat soon. That is the top three positions in the Taoist Mansion. After the second seat, the Taoist priests must also move, that is, to be promoted to the real person. Do you know what it means to be a real person who is less than 30 years old?"
Not all deacons and Taoists are as wandering as Qi Xuansu at the time. They have been in this environment for many years. They naturally know very well about the nine-grade and twelve-level Taoist sect. They can be said with great knowledge of the age limit, qualification requirements, and even factional struggles in the high-level.
Apart from being shocked, Huanji was shocked. The master of the great master was too far away. No one could tell what happened decades later. She could still be calm and just consider it a beautiful prospect. But what was about to happen was different. She thought Qi Gaogong was already amazing, but she didn't expect that in the near future, she would change her words to Qi Zhenren.
The titles of high-level wise masters, mages and Taoist priests are just the names of Taoist priests by outsiders. They do not use them by Taoist sects, but "Zhengren" is common inside and outside the Taoist sect, which shows that the status of the real person is transcendent. Only by becoming a real person can one be considered to be a high-level Taoist sect, so the real person is also called the high-quality among high-quality Taoist priests.
The deacon Taoist probably drank beautifully, drunk, and half muttered: "A real person who is less than thirty years old and a real person who is forty years old, as long as he does not die in the middle of the journey, even if he cannot become a master sect, it is not a problem to be a deputy master sect and a master sect."
