Chapter 141: The potential rise is difficult to move lightly
On the fifteenth day of the fifth month of the three hundred and eighty-fourth year of the Great Xuan Calendar, amid the sound of chimes, the court officials appeared on the long river of light and energy, and began the month's court discussions.
This time, Chong Tingzhi also showed up, but at the head office, Lin Tingzhi, who had not shown up several times, also came together this time.
As usual, the court discussed important matters first. After everything was settled, the first Taoist priest said: "If you, the court officials, have any suggestions, you can tell me."
Zhong Daoren had been waiting for this moment. He struck the jade chime with a jade mallet, then stood up and said: "Chief Executive, all court officials, I, Tianxia, have established four major prefectures outside the thirteen continents. Now they have
A year has passed, everything went smoothly for all parties, and things were proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, a few days ago, Zhong received a letter from the head of Cen Xuan of Changhe Prefecture, saying that there was a great drama in Dongting Prefecture, which caused the people to abandon the three continents and go to Dongting.
The current situation is that the East Courtyard is full and the three palaces are empty. This is not in line with our strategy of cooperating with all parties in Tianxia. I hope the chief executive and all other court officials will understand."
When everyone listened to his words, they all turned their attention to Chao Huan.
Chao Huan lived up to expectations and said, "Zhong Tingzhi, what's wrong with this?"
Zhong Daoren had known that he would have objections, so he said slowly: "This matter is not in line with Xuan Ting's plan. There are four prefectures and continents, each with a town. Now one is strong and one is weak, and the three are top-heavy. But it is counterproductive. This hinders Xuan Ting's plan.
, shouldn’t we be questioned?”
Chao Huan sneered and said: "Zhong Tingzhi, you made a mistake. Xuan Ting's plan has its own set number, and beyond the set number, it is all done voluntarily by the people of Tianxia and the cultivators. Why do you think so?"
To control?
For a long time, I have been staring at the Xuanshou of various continents. If we talk about those who are attentive to their work, Zhang Shouzheng has always been at the top. To be honest, the reason why the other three continents are not as good as Dongting is not because of this grand drama.
, but because these three Xuanshou did not care much about the affairs in the continent.
Upon closer inspection, this was their fault. Could it be that Xuan Ting was asked to make up for their omissions?
You don't ask the fundamentals, but you blame Dongting Fuzhou, but you are confusing right and wrong. In this world, is it possible that people who do things with intention are treated harshly, while people who do things without intention are benefited?
In my opinion, not only cannot we do this, but we must also praise Dongting and reprimand the other Sanfuzhou, so that they can remember it for a long time!"
After he said these words, many court officials in the audience nodded secretly. Although these words did not sound good, they did make some sense.
Lin Tingzhi thought for a moment, knocked the jade chime with his mallet, and said: "Chao Tingzhi's words are not exaggerated. Zhang Shouzheng acted within his authority and responsibility. Dongting Fuzhou has no merits, but the other three prefectures have no fault."
They didn't do anything wrong, they just followed the rules, so there is no need to talk about punishments and rewards. Let each continent send another group of people to the three continents to fill the void."
Chao Huan looked over and said dissatisfied: "I don't agree with Lin Tingzhi's words. Xuan Ting has already decided on the expansion of the palace, and now it has suddenly increased the amount. Are you not cutting off the profits of each Shangzhou to make up for the three?
Is Fuzhou missing? How can Zhu Shangzhou be convinced by this?"
Lin Tingzhi was not angry at all and said with a smile: "Then what should Chao Tingzhi do according to Chao Tingzhi's wishes?"
At this time, Feng Taoist knocked on his jade chime. When everyone saw it, he stood up, slapped his head, and said loudly: "Chief Executive, all court officials, I also watched that grand drama, but in it is
One thing I discovered is that there are now a large number of natives in Dongting who have moved from the deep interior.
These natives are unruly and have inextricable ties with the alien gods. There are quite a lot of them. Feng Mou wants to send these people to Sanfuzhou, which can not only enrich the population of Sanzhou, but also cut off the population.
Their involvement with the alien gods can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
Zhong Tingzhi frowned and said: "These ignorant natives are sent to Sanfuzhou and have to be sent to look after them. Is this move by Feng Dao people a sign of support or adding to chaos?"
Chao Huan glanced at him sideways and said: "Zhong Tingzhi, if these natives can't cause chaos in Dongting, will they cause chaos when they go to other Sanfuzhou? If so, I would like to ask whether those people are qualified for the job.
Has he assumed the position of Xuanshou?"
At this moment, Chen Tingzhi knocked on the jade chime, looked up, and said in a deep voice: "Chief Executive, I think what Feng Tingzhi said is not a bad idea. Once these natives are educated, they can also become my people in Tianxia.
Let each government figure out how to educate them. If they can't do this well, then they really don't need to stay in their position anymore."
He could see that this matter was not a big deal. Since there was a shortage of people, just give them to others. The natives were still human beings anyway. To be honest, there was no need for Xuanshou to come forward. As long as the Xuanfu monks below were willing to contribute, the enlightenment would be
It's really not difficult at all to get up.
If you are unwilling to use even this little strength, don't complain if you can't do well. Xuan Ting can't solve everything for them.
Wei Tingzhi followed up and said: "This method is not bad. Judging from the past of Dongting, those indigenous people can be our people in Tianxia after being educated. Now that they are allocated to Sanzhou, they can be regarded as supporting Sanzhou. Sanzhou should not
No more complaints."
The first Taoist nodded, looked down, and said: "If no one has any objections, then we will act accordingly."
Zhong Daoren thought for a while and did not continue to dwell on this issue.
In fact, he didn't care much about the success of this matter. He just wanted to use it to lead to the next topic. Now that the time was right, he said again:
"Chief Executive, all court officials, I also agree with this proposal, but Zhong wants to say something else. This matter seems to be the four major provinces competing with each other, but the root cause is reflected by the seal of Mingguan.
On top of the grand drama.
This seal affects so many and so many people's hearts. It is really unpredictable in advance. If we can make preparations before this, we will not have to make up for it later.
Zhong believes that at the current situation, the Taoist Chapter of Xuntian is no longer Zhang Shouzheng's Taoist Chapter, but the Taoist Chapter of Tianxia. If there are any changes in the future, it can no longer be decided by Zhang Shouzheng alone. It should be decided by Xuanting.
Come and review it, and then decide whether it falls through."
Chao Huan smiled disdainfully and said: "The Dao Zhang of Xuntian was performed by Zhang Shouzheng, and he is willing to be used by Tian Xia. The rules previously prescribed have already regulated all the behaviors in the Dao Zhang, but you don't want Zhang Shouzheng to
Any change from now on would be to set limits on Xuanzun's own Taoism. Zhang Shouzheng has not committed any fault. Why do you do this? If it is really set, can it also be used on you and me?
?”
Zhong Daoren shook his head and said: "Chao Tingzhi, these are two different things. Zhong also said that Zhang Shouzheng's Taoist Chapter has already implicated everyone in Tianxia. How can we turn a blind eye? What if there is something wrong?
, I’m afraid the consequences will be unpredictable.”
Chao Huan glanced at him and said suddenly: "That's right. Judging from Zhong Tingzhi's thoughts, this matter is indeed very dangerous."
The Taoist worshiper said in a deep voice: "Chao Tingzhi, let's discuss the matter. Zhong Daoyou is not wrong. This matter involves not one person, but all living beings in the world. We have to be careful."
Chao Huan snorted and said: "You two showed concern for all living beings in the world at a very timely manner. You care when you need it, and you don't care when you don't."
Those who admired Taoism seemed to have ignored his mocking words.
Wu Tingzhi spoke slowly at this time and said: "What Chao Tingzhi said just now is right. Zhang Shouzheng has no fault. According to Tianxia rules, we cannot restrict his Taoism out of thin air. There is no precedent for this matter."
Zhong Daoren said: "Wu Tingzhi, this matter is different from the past. Since there is no precedent, we might as well discuss this matter."
Taoist Yusu sneered. He stretched out his fingers and flicked the jade chime. Waiting for the sound to come out, he spoke from his seat: "Don't forget, I, Tianxia, have been adhering to the policy of letting the world change for a long time.
"Tao Yi Guan Jiao", the changes in the world are caused by the world, we only need to luck and Tao first to ensure the survival of Tianxia.
Some court officials may not be aware of it, or they may have intentionally ignored it. Nowadays, the seal established by Zhang Shouzheng is never forced on others. Everyone has a choice, even an ordinary disciple can refuse it.
, and now everyone accepts it, which shows what people’s hearts want.”
The Taoist worshiper said solemnly: "But the common people are ignorant and easily deceived. The choice of the world may not necessarily be the right choice."
Chao Tingzhi raised his eyebrows and said: "Chong Tingzhi, let me tell you that the seal established by Zhang Shouzheng has also been incorporated into the Taoist seal. I think it is very good. Why, you are wrong? We and others are all
Are you a fool?"
Dai Gonghan remained silent while he was sitting. He pondered for a moment, knocked the jade chime with a jade mallet, raised his head and said, "Dai, please say something.
The seals set up by Zhang Shouzheng today are far from what Zhong Tingzhi said. As long as we are aware of it, we can all set up seals. If we set a limit now, will we have to set up a seal every time we set it?
What about restrictions? With all due respect to Dai, if this is done, the restriction will not be on Zhang Shouzheng, but on the current mysterious method."
As soon as he said these words, everyone started thinking. Sometimes, some actions in Xuanting are not just the actions themselves, but also convey a certain meaning. This matter must be done with caution.
Zhong Tingzhi frowned, but he had never thought in advance that so many people disagreed with his opinion, and... He looked up and saw that most of the Hunzhang cultivators were standing in support of Zhang Yu. At this moment, he
Already, we could vaguely see the merge of the two paths of Xuan and Hun.
He looked up the long river. The only thing left to see here was how the leader thought.
The first Taoist priest looked at Wu Qing's ruins at this time and said: "Wu Tingzhi, don't talk about other things, if you just talk about setting laws, is it feasible?"
Wu Qingxu thought for a while and said: "Zhang Shouzheng has no fault. If we want to set up laws, we cannot only impose restrictions on him. We must also set restrictions on all the Xuanzuns. Wu thinks this is not feasible."
And now that the war between me and Shangchentian is still ongoing, my uprightness is not limited by the regular rules of complementing others, unless I am removed from my position, but this will have to be reported to you all."
Shouzheng needs to fight the enemy and bears the heavy responsibility of fighting the enemy. This is always the first priority, so he can temporarily exempt some of the back-up laws and restrictions until the war is over.
If you have to force them to accept it, there is another way, which is to temporarily remove the position of Shou Zheng. Through such operations, you can make them accept it.
But there is another problem here. Zhang Yu's position of keeping upright is Chang She. Xuan Ting cannot take this step. If he wants to continue, he needs to report to the five chiefs who will take charge of the place.
broken.
The first Taoist nodded, looked at Zhong Tingzhi and said: "Zhong Tingzhi, it is important to guard against subtle changes, but we cannot criticize him without fault. However, if you have any doubts, you can raise them again."
Zhong Tingzhi was silent for a moment, said nothing more, nodded, and sat down slowly.
