The king sat upright, wearing a yellow robe, looking at the memorial in his hand, thinking for a long time, then looking at Zhang Duanjing on one side, and said: "The leader of Xu Zhouzi of Jiangzhen Hall has written to me again, thinking that he should
We set up ritual altars all over Huaxu Kingdom. What does Zhang Aiqing think?"
Zhang Duanjing lowered his head slightly and replied: "Jiangzhen Hall majors in rituals and rituals, so naturally there will be such a request."
The king put down the memorial and sighed softly: "Zhang Aiqing, you should have heard that Xu Zhouzi not only wants to arrange the ritual altar, but also hopes that Zhao Shu will preside over the revision of the national laws and regulations."
"I am Zhao Mian's teacher. I have interests involved, so it is not appropriate to say too much." Zhang Duanjing bowed and spoke.
"Zhang Aiqing, why are you doing this?" The king signaled the eunuch next to him to step back, and then pulled out another pile of memorials from the table: "Not only the Jiangzhen Pavilion, but now even the chief Ding of the Mingxia Pavilion and Pingnan General Wei Xiuwen are all here
I wrote a letter, hoping that I would vigorously activate Zhao Shu instead of leaving him idle at home.
They all said that Zhao Shu's rituals and rituals were of great benefit to the country. In order to prevent evil spirits from invading people and objects, and to deal with future invasions by enemy countries, mandalas should be set up widely throughout the country so that Zhao Shu would not have to do anything when performing the law in the future.
A lot of preparations have been spent. Moreover, they also proposed that Zhao Shu take the lead in rectifying the shrines and temples in various parts of the country and completely wipe out all the obscene sacrifices."
Zhang Duanjing frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Shu's cultivation is still shallow and he cannot take on such an important task. Moreover, rectifying the sacrifices and revising the rituals cannot be done by Zhao Shu alone."
"Of course I know." The king said: "The head of the Jiangzhen Hall has written many times recently. In addition to having a favorable eye for Zhao Shu, he probably also wants to take this opportunity to enhance the reputation of the hall."
"Your Majesty, the disciples of Jiangzhen Hall suffered a lot when they suppressed bandits in Xingluo County." Zhang Duanjing reminded.
The leader of the country paused slightly and said: "This can be considered excusable... Actually, I am not opposed to it, but I am just setting up mandalas everywhere in the country. Who can guarantee that this will not be used by others, thereby harming the country and the country?
"
"Is Your Majesty worried that Zhao Shu might do something unexpected?" Zhang Duanjing asked.
"Zhang Aiqing was joking." The king waved his hand gently: "I am worried that the imperial master will not agree. Even if I issue an edict, Chongxuan Hall will secretly do bad things. And now the clamor for the impeachment of Zhao Shu in the DPRK has not stopped.
Once I agree, I don’t know what kind of turmoil will arise.”
"Thank you for your majesty's high regard for Zhao Mi." Zhang Duanjing said: "If your majesty appoints you, I will do my best to serve you. As for Chongxuan Pavilion, from my perspective, there may be internal troubles recently, and the imperial master may not have time to take care of matters outside the pavilion.
.”
"Oh?" The king immediately understood after hearing this: "It seems that it is difficult to reconcile the Chu family and the imperial master."
Zhang Duanying nodded and said: "After all, the Imperial Master is from the Liang family of Yongjia. He has a high level of cultivation and claims to be the leader of Qingya True Monarch Xue Yin. Even though they are both members of the four surnames of Chongxuan Hall, the Liang family is always put first in everything.
It can accommodate the other three families. The decline of the Zheng family in Jiujiang has actually begun to show signs."
"If this is the case, then I will issue an edict to allow the construction of mandalas in various parts of the country." The leader of the country also said: "As for the national laws and regulations, Zhao Shu will also preside over the editing and compilation, how about it?"
"This is Zhao Miao's luck."
"This is the blessing of the country." The king said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Zhao Shui is the descendant of the official of the Tianxia Dynasty. He presided over the revision of the laws and regulations. It also happened to tell the world that our country, Huaxu, is the heaven.
The orthodoxy of the Xia Dynasty may even attract many capable people to join us."
"Your Majesty is far-sighted and will unify Kunlun in the future." Zhang Duanjing praised.
"What kind of long-term thinking?" The king did not care: "I am just relying on the ministers, how can I dare to be arrogant? The great cause of unifying Kunlun is probably not something that one generation can achieve."
…
When Zhao Shu left Shixi Blessed Land and returned to the Marquis Mansion, he "happened" to receive a decree from the Lord of the Kingdom, which mentioned that mandalas should be widely established throughout the country. To this end, the national laws and regulations should be revised.
Rectify illegal and obscene rituals.
And all this will be presided over by Zhenminghou Zhao Shu.
This situation was slightly beyond Zhao Shu's expectation. He originally thought that he would just arrange mandalas in various places, but he did not expect that there were two other tasks.
If you think about it carefully, this is not surprising. It is impossible for only Zhao Shu to preside over the rituals and rituals throughout Huaxu Kingdom. If you want other monks in the country to participate, the rituals and rituals must be mixed with the system, and they cannot go their own way.
The matter of presiding over the revision of the rituals and codes is particularly important. This is almost letting Zhao Shu decide the foundation of a country's etiquette. If the rules and regulations are completed, countless people will study them in the future, and they will all be regarded as Zhao Shu's disciples. This is
A more appropriate "national teacher" than Liang Tao.
Zhao Shu was even a little surprised. What method did Liang Tao use to actually allow himself to be responsible for revising the laws and regulations? Whether this kind of thing was done or not, it was almost stepping on the face of Chongxuan Hall and his Liang Guoshi. Even if Liang Tao
Tao made this decision himself, but others in Chongxuan Hall may not be able to accept it.
As for the other item, the rectification of illegal obscene sacrifices, it is obvious that Zhao Shui should repeat his behavior of opening an altar in Qingyan County to patrol the border. I don't know what preparations Liang Tao made secretly.
While Zhao Shui was still confused, Xu Zhouzi, the leader of Jiangzhen Pavilion, took the initiative to come to the door and congratulated Zhao Shui very earnestly:
"Congratulations to Marquis Zhenming! It is a great blessing for Huaxu State to have a successor of the Praising Officer like you!"
"Senior, please stop making fun of me." Zhao Shu thought that his identity as the heir of the Praising Officer would become known to everyone, but he felt a little guilty in his heart, knowing that his actions had failed his predecessors.
However, Zhao Shu quickly understood: "Is it possible that I was appointed this time because the senior made suggestions to the king?"
Xu Zhouzi said with a smile: "I'm not the only one! Together with Chief Ding and General Wei, I have written to the king several times, hoping to let you set up mandalas all over Huaxu Kingdom. I don't care what other people think.
, but the control of the plague and the reversal of the evil star are enough to prove that your rituals and rituals are a good way to save the country! Rather than waiting until disaster and war occur, and then slowly arranging the altar rituals, it is better to prepare as early as possible. "
When Zhao Shu saw Xu Zhouzi acting like this, he knew that he had fallen into Liang Tao's scheme.
The Jiangzhen Pavilion was greatly damaged because of Liang Tao. The first Xuzhouzi had an irresolvable grudge with Liang Tao. He could not confront Liang Tao head-on, but he could find trouble and help from elsewhere.
And Liang Tao had seen through Xu Zhouzi's hatred in his heart. In addition, Jiangzhen Hall also focused on studying rituals and rituals, so he was sure that Xu Zhouzi would take the initiative to submit a letter to the king.
If a person who has a grudge against Liang Tao writes a petition, it will cover up Liang Tao's true intentions.
Seeing Xu Zhouzi's high interest, Zhao Shu couldn't bear it, and he had to take advantage of him.
"Senior is really overly flattering me." Zhao Shu bowed deeply and said: "Praising officials and successors is just a false name. When it comes to rituals and rituals, how can I compare to my senior who has been immersed in this way for decades? This matter
Seniors should have presided over it, so I am lucky enough to be able to stand at the hearing."
Xu Zhouzi simply waved his hand: "Marquis Zhenming is too humble! He has real ability and ability, no matter who is older. How many people have been ignorant for hundreds of years and still achieve nothing. I think I am far inferior to you in rituals and law.
There is no need for Marquis Zhenming to give in anymore."
Zhao Miao could only respond with a wry smile, and Xu Zhouzi continued: "But let me tell you the truth, I did have some selfish motives in recommending you to revise the laws and regulations to the king.
You must have some idea of the situation of our Jianzhen Pavilion. Compared with other pavilions that focus on immortality, the foundation of Jianzhen Pavilion is not correct, and many side techniques have been studied, so I have been trying to change this situation."
Among the six guilds of Huaxu Kingdom, Yunzhu, Feilian and Mingxia were originally sects cultivating immortals. In response to the situation, they were reorganized into guilds. However, some remnants of the sects were still retained. For example, almost all disciples of the sect were cultivators.
It's the same technique, but the techniques used are very consistent.
Even the Chongxuan Pavilion does not only have the "Jiutian Feixuan Purple Qi Zhenwen Baolu". Not to mention the Huaiying Pavilion, the magic subjects are so complicated and diverse that even junior students in the pavilion cannot learn them.
Only Jiangzhen Hall, they were actually a few small sects and a group of casual cultivators at first. When they saw Chongxuan Hall attacking various sects, they were so frightened that they quickly gathered together. Xu Zhouzi’s master Yaoling Jun claimed that he had seen Xianzhen come to the world to teach the Dharma.
So I asked your ancestors to set up a Jiangzhen Hall.
However, many people at that time did not believe that Lord Yao Ling could really teach the Immortal Family, but he tried his best to please Chongxuan Guan, which in turn allowed the continuation of Jiangzhen Guan. However, this also meant that the foundation of Jiangzhen Guan was shallow, and most of the rituals and rituals came from Jianghu.
Warlocks are crude and crude. Even if they try their best to supplement them, they are far inferior to the inheritance of the Praise Officer.
Therefore, in the past, the Jiangzhen Hall could be said to have been the Chongxuan Hall, and Liang Guoshi followed suit, but now it has been abandoned by Liang Guoshi. It is no wonder that Xu Zhouzi insists on going against the Chongxuan Hall.
At present, there are clear barriers between the Xiangzhen Hall and the Chongxuan Hall. Perhaps the reason why Xu Zhouzi can be tolerated by Liang Tao is that his actions concealed Liang Tao's plot and made many things justifiable.
"The rituals and laws of the Praise Officer are also the result of the wisdom of the predecessors. They should not be monopolized by me." Zhao Shu said: "And the revision of the rituals and laws cannot be accomplished by one person. It is necessary to have seniors and Jiangzhen Hall.
colleagues for assistance.”
"We will do our best to assist Marquis Zhenming!" Xu Zhouzi readily agreed.
…
When Chu Fenggui, the court servant, walked steadily, he slowly climbed up the stairs, stopping from time to time to look at the distant and near mountain scenery.
Although Chu Shizhong is over ninety years old, he is different from Zheng Yulou, who has white beard and hair. His beard and hair are black and shiny, and his face is jade-like. If he hadn't grown three long strands of beard as an elder, which makes him look a bit dignified, he might also be a handsome figure.
A prosperous man.
With this appearance, Chu Shizhong has been admired by many women since he was young. Coupled with the Yi'an Chu family's family background, he has many wives and concubines, many children, and even more than a hundred grandchildren.
Compared with the Yongjia Liang clan, whose ethnic group is declining, the Chu clan is more prosperous. Forty percent of the monks in Chongxuan Hall are descendants of the Chu clan. As for those clan members who have no connection with the immortal way, they are all over the government and the public.
Perhaps because of this, Chu Fenggui had the confidence to take a leisurely stroll in Difei Mountain, and waited until the sun set in the west before arriving at the Bamboo Hall deep in the mountain.
"You're late." Outside the bamboo hall, Liang Tao, wearing dark clothes and a crown, with eagle-browed eyes and hawk-like eyes, said in a serious tone.
Chu Fenggui flicked his temples: "If you want to talk, just show your true self. I won't talk to the clone anymore."
The clone of the Imperial Master frowned and snorted coldly, and then turned into specks of light and dust and disappeared. A moment later, Liang Tao himself walked out of the bamboo hall, wearing a light silk satin draped around his body and with a loose bun on his head.
"I asked you to come here to discuss something, but I was kept waiting for a long time." Liang Tao complained: "Xiao Bengya, your arrogance is getting bigger and bigger. I don't dare to provoke you anymore."
Being called out by his childhood nickname, Chu Fenggui showed no anger. Instead, he laughed and said: "Liang Tao, you are getting worse than before. You roll on the bed with a group of vixens all day long."
Liang Tao adjusted his bun: "The descendants of Tianhu are indescribable...
The corners of Chu Fenggui's eyes tightened: "Meng Chun took up his position early. Compared with Liang Shuo, who was as timid as a mouse and accomplished nothing. He rarely left Difei Mountain and died under the sword of the rebellious party. It is better after all."
"These are really vicious words." Liang Tao invited the other party into the bamboo hall: "No gossip, I specially invited you to come up the mountain to discuss important matters."
"What's the big deal?" Chu Fenggui looked coldly.
"It's time for you to stop." Liang Tao said, "I can't let Chongxuan Hall be dragged down by your insistence on going your own way."
"Going your own way?" Chu Fenggui said in an aggressive tone: "Who is going his own way? For the sake of your own reputation, you personally kill all kinds of ghosts and gods. Do you know that such actions have damaged the foundation of Chongxuan Hall?"
"Do you think I did this for the sake of reputation?" Liang Tao did not get angry, and took the initiative to pour tea for the other party, as if he were facing an old friend, and said kindly: "In the past, I let you cook on your own, because I trusted you.
I also know that the people below are colluding with various ghosts, gods and monsters, but after all, this kind of thing cannot be brought to light. Now that I have been exposed, I have no shirking responsibility as the leader. This is not for my reputation, but for the entire society.
Chongxuan Pavilion.”
"For the entire Chongxuan Hall? You can even say such a thing!" Chu Fenggui snorted: "You watched the Zheng family in Jiujiang decline before your eyes. At that time, I doubted what your intentions were. Now I understand.
In your eyes, there is no Chongxuan Pavilion, no Immortal Xueyin, or even the Qingya Patriarch. You can only tolerate yourself!"
Liang Tao was as gentle as ever: "If it weren't for me, would there still be Chongxuan Pavilion? There were many elders of your Chu family who were unwilling to leave China, but what was the result? Seeing that you followed me to Difei Mountain, we can work together to open it again.
For the sake of the Chongxuan Pavilion, have you ever enjoyed the wonderful magic of immortality, wealth and comfort now? I suppressed the realm forcibly and detained you in the mortal world for a long time, refusing to ascend, just because I was worried that you would not be able to hold on to the Chongxuan Pavilion."
