After returning to the capital from Longtanwei, Zhao Ran received Li Dayin's flying talisman. While wishing Zhao Ran happy New Year, he asked if he had time, saying that he was going to Songfan to see him.
Zhao Ran replied that he had not left the capital yet. Li Dayin was immediately overjoyed, so the two made an appointment to meet on the Qinhuai River.
It was Ajaan's luxurious boat. Zhao Ran said to her: "I'm here to bother you during the Chinese New Year. Please forgive me, sister-in-law."
Ajiang rolled his eyes at Li Dayin, turned around and said with a smile: "If it were anyone else, the Nu family would not pay attention to it, but since it is Abbot Zhao, there is nothing to say. We welcome you whenever you come, even in the middle of the night.
If you stay with this damn ghost like Dayin, the slave family will definitely kick him off the bed and sweep the couch to welcome him!"
Li Dayin laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm willing to serve you tea and water."
Ajaan was serving tea, and his two daughters were sitting on the side, playing the faint music of the piano. Under the rhythmic support of the boatman, the boat sailed down the Qinhuai River.
After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Ran asked: "Why did Li Fuyin come to me and make a special trip to Songfan?"
Li Dayin said: "I just want to ask Zhiran, can I stay in the capital reluctantly?"
Zhao Ran said: "As I said last time, I am still the abbot of Tianhe Palace."
Li Dayin asked: "What if Zhiran is invited to be the abbot of Xuantan Palace?"
Zhao Ran was stunned: "What did you say?"
Li Dayin said solemnly: "Zhiran cannot stay in the capital because he has the important responsibility of preaching and promoting Dharma in Tianhe Palace. I went back and thought about it for a few days and decided to ask Zhiran to be the abbot of Xuantan Palace. As long as Zhiran agrees, I will report it."
Overview. The second batch of palace abbots this year will take office on the first day of February, and all provinces must report immediately after the 15th of this month. The abbot of Xuantan Palace has resigned and returned to his hometown, preparing to take care of himself, so this year should be composed of
I am also the abbot of Xuantan Palace."
The palace of Yingtianfu is Xuantan Palace. According to the requirements of the general view, after the abbot Hou resigned, the post of abbot of Xuantan Palace should be taken up by the monks of the local temple under his jurisdiction. The temple of Yingtianfu is Sanmaoguan of Qixia Mountain.
, there are not many monks in Sanmaoguan, and as the eldest disciple, Li Dayin does have the power to designate a certain junior disciple with Jindan cultivation level to take up this task.
But if an outsider is appointed to be the abbot of Yingtian Mansion, doesn't Li Dayin need to report it to the master? Especially if the outsider appointed is Zhao Ran, can Chen Shandao agree? Zhao Ran is deeply suspicious of this.
Regarding Zhao Ran's suspicion, Li Dayin said straightforwardly: "I have reported this matter to my teacher. The teacher said that if Zhiran is interested in taking this position, he can go to Yuanfu Palace. My teacher wants to meet Zhiran."
"Does Li Fuyin want to exchange the abbot? I'm afraid that neither the Jade Emperor Pavilion nor my sect will be too happy..."
"Without exchange, I, Sanmaoguan, will ask Zhiran to take over the position of abbot of Xuantan Palace in Sanmaoguan. As for the abbot of Songfan Tianhe Palace, our Sanmaoguan will not interfere. Let whoever you want do it. That's
It’s about your ancestral hall.”
Zhao Ran fell into deep thought, and Li Dayin did not urge him. He just stayed with him, joking with Ajiang from time to time, or pointing out the scenery on the shore to Zhao Ran.
From the perspective of whether things go smoothly, being the abbot of Tianhe Palace is of course the most comfortable. The foundation of the entire Song Dynasty has been completely laid, everything has become a system, and he can do it well with very little energy.
Abbot, control the steady growth of your trust.
In addition, the most important thing is safety.
But there is another bottleneck, which is the bottleneck of merit power. He has affected almost all the areas that he can influence now, including the entire Songfan, the entire Long'an, plus several counties in the northern part of the capital, with a total population of 12.3 million
Right and left. There are only so many reliable sources of merit power. To obtain more would exceed the scope of his authority and influence.
In the future, if you want to further become the abbot of Xuanyuan Temple, you still have at least two years. In addition to the time issue, you also need to face the obstacle of Yuhuang Pavilion. Will Yuhuang Pavilion agree to lead Sichuan Province by itself in two years?
Although the possibility of the Shifang Jungle is very high, Zhao Ran is not completely sure about it.
In contrast, there is the position of abbot of Xuantan Palace. Although the power of general affairs is being transferred to the government, specifically Yingtian Mansion, as the abbot, no matter how the power is transferred, he will definitely be able to affect the entire Yingtian Mansion.
Governance strategies. And through continued influence, some of his ideas can be reflected in the twelve counties of Yingtianfu. The population of these eight counties is three million!
This is equivalent to one-third of the population of Sichuan Province. Because the base is so large, even if you do some minor good deeds, the merit gained will be a considerable amount.
Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought that three million people could become the source of merit power. In addition, Yingtian Mansion was the two core places of the Ming Dynasty, and the influence of Zhishe was unparalleled anywhere else. It was just in the south.
Adding together the several prefectures around Zhili, the population can almost catch up with Sichuan Province. If it can affect the entire southern Zhili, it will have a population of 16 million!
This was a number that was nearly twice that of Sichuan Province, which made Zhao Ran swallow his saliva.
What needs to be seriously considered is that as an abbot here, the situation you face is far more complicated than elsewhere. At least for the moment, you face threats from the gang of gangsters like Shang San Gong. It is not only a threat to your personal safety, but also a threat to your personal safety.
This bunch of dishevelers are more than enough of a threat to do anything bad.
In addition to the Shangsan Palace, this place is still within the sphere of influence of Sima Tianshi. It is surrounded by Guo Hongjing in Henan, Youlong Pavilion in Zhejiang, etc., but they are not in harmony with me. Therefore, if you want to be the abbot here, Chen Shandao's support
That is the most important condition.
Suddenly I remembered that after the meeting at Yuanfu Palace, Li Dayin once mentioned that his teacher Chen Shandao wanted to treat him to dinner?
How about going to have a meal?
Of course, everyone's consent must be obtained. This "everyone" includes many people, but they are mainly concentrated on three lines.
Teacher Jiang Tenghe, this is the sect; Yuhuang Pavilion Dongfangli represents Sanqing Pavilion and Dongji Pavilion; Helin Pavilion Xu Zhenren, this is the real person sitting in the hall; in addition, do you need to communicate with Ninth Girl? Zhao Ran thought about it
I thought about it and decided not to tell them - why can you swing left and right, but I can't just ride on the wall?
After returning to Baoyue Villa, Zhao Ran sent flying talismans to the above three parties respectively, reported Li Dayin's proposal in detail, asked these three people for their opinions, or simply waited for their attitudes.
This was a very abrupt proposal. Perhaps the original motivation was just Li Dayin's love for practicing football, but when it came to Chen Shandao's level, the meaning was completely different.
From the time it takes Fei Fu to reply, we can also see the degree of emphasis and entanglement the above attaches to this matter.
