At that moment, Chen Tianshi explained all the suggestions he had prepared. His suggestions were restricted in three aspects.
The first is to strictly control the number of monks in the upper three palaces; the second is to stipulate that within the clan, except for the first prince, any relatives within three generations of the emperor are not allowed to practice; the third is to expressly order that princes, princes, generals who govern the country, and assistants to the country are not allowed to practice
The clans and their family members of the fourth rank of generals are not allowed to practice Buddhism.
Zhao Ran's eyes lit up: "This method is good! It is equivalent to changing the emperor's prohibition of practice to the clan's prohibition of practice. Although the emperor's restrictions were relaxed, the number of clan monks was greatly reduced. The emperor became a loner in practice. He wanted to create
If the Taoist sect rebels, its strength will be even less."
Chen Tianshi said: "This is just an idea. It has not been studied more rigorously. I originally planned to spend a few years polishing it... Now I am no longer a real master, and I no longer have the spirit, so I will propose
Leave it to Junior Brother Guo and ask him to consider it. When the time is right in a few years, it can be submitted to the True Master Hall for decision."
Zhao Ran asked: "Why can't it be concluded earlier so that trouble can be nipped in the bud?"
Chen Tianshi pondered and said: "Zhiran has not reached the position of making decisions yet, but I believe that Zhiran will definitely be one of the decision makers in the future. If Zhiran is willing, I have some experience to share with Zhiran."
Zhao Ran bowed and said, "Please give me some advice from Tianshi Chen."
Chen Tianshi said: "Those at the top need to consider redundancy in governance when formulating strategies. We often introduce new governance strategies with good intentions, but after they are implemented at the lower level, they are often compromised. The more levels we go through in the middle, the harder it will be."
The greater the discount, the more it will lead to changes, distortions, perfunctory responses, and the list goes on."
Zhao Ran nodded: "If you correct yourself, you must go too far, and if you predict the enemy, you must be lenient."
Tianshi Chen praised: "Zhiran is so smart! So when we want to let go, we must be careful, and when we want to take it back, we must make a big splash, otherwise we won't be able to take it in, and we won't be able to let it go. That's three words - blind
Tossing. Take the re-establishment of the emperor's mighty virtue as an example. This is letting go. We must be more liberal and open now to ensure that the establishment of mighty virtue is not compromised due to human interference. If we propose to restrict the clan at this time
Cultivation will have a greater impact on the emperor's mighty virtue than we imagine, and may even violate the original intention. For now, let the emperor establish his mighty virtue first, which is the most important. Even if there are some phenomena that cannot be seen, it is still important.
It can only be corrected one by one carefully, but it cannot be strictly prohibited. How to grasp the appropriateness is something that the decision maker needs to carefully consider. "
Zhao Ran sighed: "If you control it, you will die, if you let it go, it will be chaos. These eight words have stumped many outstanding people at all times and in all over the world..."
Tianshi Chen nodded in agreement: "That's what the saying goes, 'Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies.'"
Zhao Ran heard it. What Chen Tianshi said was actually explaining to Zhao Ran from another angle the reason why he spared no effort to prevent large-scale turmoil in the Shangsan Palace regarding Xiu'an. He was always unwilling to do so.
Before the Mighty Virtue Lotus takes shape, start with the Shangsan Palace, the emperor's most important pillar in the spiritual world.
Whether you say he is appeasement or indulgent, this is what he really thinks. For Chen Tianshi, the Mighty Virtue Lotus is more important than the authority of the Celestial Master sitting in Baojing Pavilion. All possible factors that will affect the formation of the Mighty Virtue Lotus, Chen Tianshi
They must find ways to eliminate it. This is Zhao Ran's unshakable will.
In fact, it was good that Chen Tianshi was willing to spend time explaining to him. Thinking about such a huge exchange of interests on his side, several real masters kept it secret from him. Thinking of this, Zhao Ran felt a little bit
Cold-hearted and unwilling. Maybe it's because Master Xu and Master Wu Tian are afraid that he will come out to look for trouble, and they know that he has the ability to make trouble? Or maybe they are really busy and don't think they need to explain to him? The latter may be more likely
Big...
I chatted with Chen Tianshi for a long time in the alchemy room of Yuxu Palace. Zhao Ran felt that he had gained a lot since he had the knowledge and experience to hold a high position for a long time that Zhao Ran did not have.
Later, Chen Tianshi talked about another issue, which was the palace change of the beautiful ladies: "Suchuan Yao and other beautiful ladies were forced by the situation to cause the palace change. Let's put aside the right and wrong of it - Zhi Ran, don't get me wrong.
I think Suchuan Yao and the others are worthy of sympathy. From the perspective of the palace guards, this is not a good phenomenon. In the past, we could not think too much about it, but in the future, preventing monks from assassinating the emperor must be put on the agenda.
."
"Master Chen wants to strengthen the palace guards?"
"Yes, although I have resigned from the position of true master, I am still a high priest of the Yuanfu Palace and still oversee the Upper Three Palaces. Mr. Zhu suggested to them that in order to prevent such palace changes or assassinations from happening, monks from the Upper Three Palaces need to be transferred
I think it is necessary to enter the palace. Although the emperor has formed an elixir, he has no fighting experience. I am afraid that Huang Guan, who often fights in the border areas, can kill the emperor. Now Chen Yin is in the palace.
There are too few practicing guards in the palace, so Zhu Xianjian plans to transfer 20 monks from the Shangsan Palace to the palace to prepare for the defense. I agree. Because you are the Xuantan Palace.
I am the abbot, so I will inform you in advance so that there will be no misunderstandings."
Zhao Ran sighed and said: "Chen Tianshi, you are only thinking about the Shangsan Palace, have you ever considered my safety on the trail?"
"What's the meaning?"
"There is a priest named Zhu Longxi in the Chaotian Palace. Since February this year, he has been trying to kill me with manpower. As far as I know, he has planned more than six or seven times. Fortunately, I have some self-defense skills.
You're also lucky, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the trail at this moment."
"Is this happening?"
"They dare to kill Gu Kexue's master and apprentice, so why don't they dare to attack me? If Chen Tianshi doesn't believe it, I will try to catch one alive next time they do it and send it to Shangsan Palace for your review."
Chen Tianshi's face immediately darkened, he was silent for a moment, and said: "I understand."
After chatting with Chen Tianshi for almost two hours, Zhao Ran said goodbye and went back to Yunshui Hall. Chen Tianshi was no longer in the mood to pack and reminisce, so he quickly put away his things, briefly said goodbye to Guo Hongjing, and went straight out of Jinji Peak.
Cave sky.
Back in Yingtian, Li Dayin was already waiting at the gate of Yuanfu Palace after receiving the news. After meeting the teacher, he had mixed feelings.
Chen Tianshi said: "It has been decided that I will withdraw from the True Master Hall. Da Yin does not need to persuade me anymore. It is useless to persuade me."
Li Dayin said: "I don't want to persuade the teacher anymore. I know that it is useless to persuade him now. I just want to ask, is going to the Third Palace really worth the teacher's effort?"
Chen Tianshi said: "It's not the Upper Three Palaces that are worth the effort for my master, but the Great Dao, another optional Dao, your master's only hope for ascension."
Li Dayin sighed secretly: "Disciple understands."
Chen Tianshi said again: "I came back today to ask Mr. Zhu a few words about them. Have they returned from Lushan?"
Li Dayin said: "I just came back. Half an hour ago, King Qi Feifu told me that he wanted to invite the disciples to have a drink. The disciples heard about the teacher, how could they have the intention to accept the invitation..."
Chen Tianshi interrupted: "Go and call all three of them, go quickly!"
Not long after, Zhu Xianjian, Lan Daoxing and Duan Chaoyong all rushed to Yuanfu Palace and went to see Chen Tianshi. Chen Tianshi opened his mouth and asked: "What is the big feud between you and Zhao Zhiran that you must kill him for?"
?”
The three of them looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Zhu Xianjian answered: "Where did the Heavenly Master know that we wanted to kill Zhao Zhiran?"
"Don't worry about where I got the news from, I'm just asking you if this is the case!"
Lan Daoxing did not dare to say anything. Zhu Xianjian and Duan Chaoyong replied at the same time:
