That night, Zhao Ran was invited to Purple Mountain by Chen Tianshi.
On the way up the mountain, Zhao Ran asked Li Dayin: "Lao Li, why did Tianshi Chen invite me?"
Li Dayin snorted: "Did you know what Zhiran did?"
This drastic change in attitude made Zhao Ran think twice. It was probably Xiu'an's business.
Zhao Ran looked at Li Dayin and said, "Lao Li, no matter what I do, I have a clear conscience."
Li Dayin said: "You have a clear conscience, but where do you put my teacher?"
Zhao Ran said: "Sooner or later something will go wrong with this matter. I personally think it is better to get out early than to get out late. After getting rid of this stain, everyone can go into battle lightly, right?"
Li Dayin said angrily: "You do stand on the side of truth, but what's the use? Go talk to my teacher."
Zhao Ran knew that Li Dayin was angry and it was useless to talk at this moment, so he stopped talking. He was not worried about what Chen Tianshi would do to him. Since they summoned him openly, it meant that they wanted to sit down and talk, otherwise there would be no need to meet at all.
.
Still in the Zichen Palace, Li Dayin was still accompanying Chen Tianshi, and Zhao Ran sat respectfully at the bottom, waiting for the violent storm that might come.
But the violent storm did not come, and Chen Tianshi's tone was very calm: "Today, I flew to Fu Jiuzhou Pavilion and asked about Ying Tianfu's credibility. It's not even May yet, and the credibility value has already exceeded four million. So
From the looks of it, the 10 million that Zhiran and I talked about last month should be fine, and even 11 million or 2 million are very possible."
Zhao Ran replied: "The growth is mainly due to three things. The first one is the practice ball competition co-organized with Senior Brother Li Dayin. Its role in promoting the growth of trust cannot be underestimated; the other two are the renovation of the capital and preparation for building bridges. Wait until next time."
After the roads in the capital city get a new look, the trustworthiness should still grow. As for the construction of the bridge, I predict it will be a big breaking point. When the bridge is completed, Yingtianfu's trustworthiness will break through the 20 million mark. I am still relatively optimistic.
of."
Zhao Ran didn't want to say his goal at first, but the relationship between the two parties was delicate at the moment, so he decided to bring out the goal value to lighten the atmosphere.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Tianshi Chen was very happy, and Li Dayin's face also looked much better.
Tianshi Chen promised: "If Ying Tianfu's trust can reach 20 million, Zhiran can make a wish and I will try my best to fulfill it for Zhiran!"
Zhao Ran smiled: "Then I will take note of Chen Tianshi's promise."
The three of them laughed together and then fell into silence.
After a while, Chen Tianshi finally got to the point: "Today I received Tianshi Zhang's flying talisman. The Zhenshi Hall plans to convene a meeting the day after tomorrow to discuss the matter of Xiu'an."
Zhao Ran nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard it.
After a pause, Chen Tianshi continued: "I heard that Gu Kexue, who was in charge of Xiu'an affairs, was caught by Zhiran?"
Zhao Ran nodded again, and told the story of how he met Sheng Duanming and his men in a fishing village on the riverside to kill Gu Kexue's master and apprentice, and was rescued by him. He finally said: "This incident was purely a fluke, and it was not intentional. Of course, it was intentional.
It can't be done. If they don't both suffer, how can I, a mere archmage, accomplish this?"
Li Dayin scolded from the side: "Then Zhiran shouldn't hand him over to Dongji Pavilion."
Zhao Ran asked back: "Lao Li, who do you think I should hand him over to? Return him to Shangsan Palace? Or keep him in my Xuantan Palace? Or hand him over to you, Lao Li? Or let him go altogether."
Just pretend that’s not the case?”
Li Dayin hesitated for a moment, unable to answer.
Chen Tianshi smiled and said: "The matter has come to an end, Dayin should not pursue it any further. The establishment of Xiu'an in Shangsan Palace has its own origins and ins and outs. The right and wrong in it are sometimes really difficult to comment on. Please come over today, isn't it?
I don’t want to blame Zhiran, but I want to ask, what does Zhiran think of the emperor’s practice?”
Zhao Ran blurted out: "I don't agree!"
Chen Tianshi asked: "Why?"
Zhao Ran said: "Isn't this the ancestral system of sitting in Lushan? The rules were set six hundred years ago."
Chen Tianshi waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the ancestral system. Zhiran is not a pedantic person. If he really followed the ancestral system in every action, I would not have talked with you back then, let alone invited you to Xuanxuan."
Zhiran, please tell me what you know about the emperor's practice. What are the harmful effects of the emperor's practice?"
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "As for the emperor not being allowed to practice, I have checked the records of the past. At the beginning, it was the Master of Zhenzhao who first advocated it. He mentioned that the disaster in the mid-Tang Dynasty was attributed to Li's practice, so that the imperial family became powerful and the Taoist sect
It cannot be controlled. Only then did the imperial family collude with the Buddhist sect to fight against our Taoist sect. Therefore, the faxed Heavenly Master said that what the Taoist sect needs is not an emperor who practices cultivation."
Chen Tianshi said: "What Zhiran is talking about is the orthodox record. There are really very few people who are willing to read the documents six hundred years ago. But what I want to tell Zhiran today is that if one day Zhiran enters
When you go to Zhenshi Hall, you can see a lot of historical materials in the Baojing Pavilion about the Lushan lectures."
Zhao Ran said hurriedly: "Chen Tianshi has high regard for the small way. How can the small way be so virtuous and capable? How dare you hope for the position of the True Master Hall."
Chen Tianshi said: "Zhiran is hopeful, and there is no need to be humble. When Zhiran reads the relevant historical materials in the future, he will know that although Tianshi Zhiran initiated this proposal, it has not been approved."
Zhao Ran was stunned and asked: "Is there no agreement?"
Chen Tianshi said: "It's actually because of Taizu. Maybe Zhi Ran didn't know that Emperor Taizu was a Buddhist monk and cultivated to the level of a bhikkhu. The founders of various Taoist sects supported many people who inherited the great treasure, and finally he
Taizu had the most luck, and in fact this result was finally confirmed. He was the one who finally sat on the Dragon Throne."
"Bhikkhu monk? Isn't that a fish that slipped through the net in the war between Buddhism and Taoism?"
Chen Tianshi smiled and did not correct Zhao Ran, but said: "Therefore, the so-called initiative of Zhen Tianshi at that time was actually not mentioned in the Lushan lecture, but twenty years before that, when various sects and sects discussed the true destiny of the emperor.
, a condition preset by the Emperor. However, due to the appearance of Emperor Taizu, this condition was ignored."
"Then where does this rule come from?"
"The real agreement was reached more than forty years later, when King Yan launched the Jingnan Campaign. At that time, the Taoist sect was divided into two factions. Quanzhen supported King Yan, and Zhengyi supported the prince. Just when the two sides were at war and preparing for a war, our Taoist sect
It was discovered that the counselor who relied on King Yan as his confidant turned out to be a monk, so King Yan was annihilated by Quanzhen himself. While pursuing the case, Quanzhen also discovered that King Yan had worshiped this monk as his teacher and had reached the realm of novice monks.
This incident caused an uproar at the time, and it was from this that Zhenshitang actually agreed on the rule that the emperor could not practice."
