Chen Shandao hesitated for a moment and said: "My disciple met with Zhao Zhiran today and I feel that he has a lot of opinions on the Shangsan Palace."
"What does he want to do?"
"He didn't mention Shang Sangong, but he made his attitude clear. He said that trust is the people's support. Anyone who violates the people's support will be punished. Many of the things Shang Sangong has done in recent years have been criticized by the government and the public.
, it was for the sake of fighting for imperial power in the past, so I was tolerant a lot, and some disciples tolerated it. Now that the political situation has been decided, I think it’s time to put things in order..."
"You want to talk about Xiu'an, right? We have never agreed on Xiu'an's matter."
"Yes, the teacher is wise. I think this matter should come to an end. The imperial power has been established. Since the emperor's authority is to be restored, the previous rules that did not allow the emperor to practice Taoism are no longer appropriate. I think we only need to be more careful.
It’s not a big problem for Zhenshitang to pass the resolution. Once the resolution is passed and the emperor’s spiritual practice is slowly revealed, it will be a smooth process.”
"Thank you for all your hard work over the years."
"This is a major event that will change the world of spiritual practice. It is a great merit of the teacher. Not only the teacher is expected to ascend through this, but also countless colleagues can benefit from it. The disciples are willing to do it no matter how hard and tired they are, and no matter how difficult it is for others to understand."
Shao Yuanjie looked at Chen Shandao, whose face was full of excitement. He was silent for a long time and nodded slowly.
With Shao Yuanjie's approval, Chen Shandao left Sanmao Palace and played the flying talisman: "I need to see you if I have anything to do. Where can I find you?"
"We are discussing in Lanke Mountain the candidates for the abbot of my family's Taoist Palace and Taoist Academy this year. How dare you bother Tianshi Chen to move away? I will just go to Yuanfu Palace to pay my respects."
"Then come to Qixia Mountain and meet you."
The Marquis of Shuixiang said to the left and right: "You continue to discuss, I want to rush to Qixia Mountain. No matter who goes, we must quickly decide on the candidate. You don't need to tell me, just report to Lingxu Pavilion immediately."
Shui Yunshan stood up: "Father, I will go with you."
The Marquis of Shuixiang thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
The father and daughter got on the flying magic weapon and headed towards the capital.
Since Zhang Yuanji ascended to the position of abbot of Xiaguan, the relationship between Zongguan and Guange has suddenly become much closer. Whenever there is an edict, each family will immediately comply with it without any compromise. Not only is Youlongguan busy
Discussing and reporting the candidate for abbot is something that every family in the world does, especially in the Upper Three Palaces.
Compared with most of the monks who are not willing to send out their wishes in the pavilions, the monks in the Upper Third Palace are extremely enthusiastic. Perhaps because they have little hope for the avenue, the monks in the Upper Third Palace are much more eager to pursue fame and fortune.
As a result, for this year's sixteen abbot positions, the ratio of applicants to ordination has reached nearly four to one. Zhu Xianxian, who is in charge of Chaotian Palace, is very pleased, but besides being pleased, he is also a little worried, and he is even more concerned about the selection of candidates.
Be a little more cautious.
This discussion lasted until night, and finally a preliminary list of twenty people was selected.
Mr. Zhu ordered a short break and opened the palace door to let everyone breathe. The so-called "breathing" was just a way of saying that it meant giving everyone more time to calm down and think again in preparation for the final creation of a list of appointments.
Chaotian Palace is dedicated to King Zhu Zaicheng, who enshrines Gong Kepei, Lantian Jade, and Zhu Longxi. Lingji Palace is dedicated to Lan Daoxing, the envoy of the palace, who enshrines Hu Dashun. Xianling Palace is dedicated to Duan Chaoyong, the envoy of the palace, and Sheng Duanming.
.The above-mentioned people, with the exception of Zhu Longxi, are all monks at the refiner level or above, and can be said to be the mainstays of the Shangsan Palace.
Zhu Xianxian walked out of the palace and waved to Zhu Longxi. Zhu Longxi followed him out, and the two of them strolled outside. As they walked, Zhu Xianxian asked: "There are four more people to be eliminated. The two from Lingji Palace.
I'm afraid the spring breeze and cloud watching won't make it onto the stage."
Zhu Longxi said: "If Qiansui feels that it is really difficult, just take it off if it doesn't work. I didn't say that I would die that day."
Zhu Xianxian nodded: "Please comfort them. Now is the time to employ people. Don't let them feel too cold. Let's forget about this year's abbot. You can promise them to transfer him from Lingji Palace to Chaotian Palace."
..." After a pause, he added: "But I have to take off my robe..."
Zhu Longxi smiled: "This is easy. I guess these two people have not even read the Tao Te Ching in full and have no faith in their hearts. To them, they are just skin. Furthermore, these two people are just skinny.
I was wandering around, maybe I was impulsive that day. I won’t tell you until they find me.”
Just as he was talking, a deacon from Chaotian Palace came to report that Shuixiang Hou, the great elder of Youlong Pavilion, was visiting and had gone to Long Live Palace to serve tea. Mr. Zhu hurriedly asked Zhu Longxi to go back and inform everyone, asking everyone to wait a while.
In the Long Live Hall, Zhu Xianjian accompanied the Shuixiang Hou to exchange a few words of greetings and asked, "What important matters does the Great Elder have to give you?"
Hou Dao from Shuixiang said: "Now the situation is getting clearer. In a few years, the emperor's authority will be restored. I would like to congratulate the King of Qi."
Zhu Xianjian said gratefully: "It all depends on the Great Heavenly Master making the decision, relying on Chen Heavenly Master presiding over it, and relying on the Great Elder's great help. This kindness and kindness will never be forgotten by our Zhu family."
The Marquis of Shuixiang smiled and said: "Now that the general situation is clear and the common government of the three provinces has returned to the emperor, there will be a new atmosphere. Some practices in the past were done as a last resort, but now we can consider abolishing and reforming them.
"
Zhu Xianjian asked: "What does the great elder mean..."
"Let's put it this way, some things in Shang San Palace were not very appropriate in the past two years. For example, the Xiu'an incident was widely spread. Regarding this matter, Sanqing Pavilion and Dongji Pavilion have been investigating. At that time, we believed that Shang San Palace
The palace has never done anything like this, so he tried his best to shoulder the responsibility for King Qi. But now that the situation has changed, I am afraid that if he continues to prevent the two pavilions from investigating, he will appear guilty, as if Shang Sangong is really doing this.
As the saying goes, the pure will self-purify. Since the two pavilions don’t believe it, let them investigate. Chen Tianshi and I both believe that Shang Sangong is innocent, right?”
"this……"
"There are also rumors outside that the emperor is practicing, and he is practicing by mining red lead against his will. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tell me what is this? The method of mining red lead against the will has long been strictly prohibited by the Taoist precepts, and it must not be allowed.
OK, Tianshi Chen and I also don’t believe that the emperor would practice cultivation in this way, don’t you think so?”
"this……"
Zhu Xianjian was very puzzled and thought to himself, Marquis of Shuixiang, what are you doing? The purpose of opening Xiu'an was to teach the emperor the method of reverse mining of red lead. The purpose of practicing this method was to cover up the emperor's cultivation. How could he let Dongji Pavilion be allowed to do so?
What about the investigation and investigation by Sanqing Pavilion? When the emperor is found to be practicing cultivation, who can he talk to for explanation? Furthermore, wasn’t this method of reverse mining of red lead originally passed down by Chen Tianshi through the hands of you, the Marquis of Shuixiang? Now I want to get rid of it.
Already?
Just when his face was looking ugly, he saw the Marquis of Shuixiang throwing over a manuscript with a smile. Zhu Xianjian opened it and read it, and he was overjoyed: "Thank you Chen Tianshi, thank you great elder! But, can this proposal be passed?"
