Zhao Ran's mind was racing, thinking quickly about how he should answer to satisfy these two people. He came up with many reasons in an instant, such as wooing Sanmaoguan, borrowing his talents, counterattacking Sima Tianshi, Li Dayin and
Chen Tianshi does not deserve what he deserves...
Zhao Ran could come up with these reasons with his mouth, one, two, three, four, five, and it was clear and logical. But at this moment, he didn't want to lie to himself. Just like what Xu Yun'ao said just now, he was no longer a small person, he was the abbot of Yingtian.
The deputy seal of Dao Lu Si single-handedly put down the Shang San Palace rebellion, clarified the imperial court, and deposed the crown prince. He even paid a heavy price in order to save tens of millions of people in South Zhili.
——Okay, the last one kind of means that the effect is the cause.
Unknowingly, he already had the qualification to "prepare for inquiries" in the True Master Hall. Especially regarding the affairs of the capital, his speech carries a lot of weight, and even the True Masters need to take it seriously.
Perhaps, this is the reputation Xu Yun'ao refers to.
Having reached this stage, he is no longer a small person in Guyang County. Sometimes, it doesn't matter if he talks about his true thoughts!
"Uncle Xu, Master Wu Tian, you two are very discerning and know that this disciple has his thoughts. Of course, I will not hide it from you. You two are my dear elders, so there is no need to hide it. The reason why my disciple is so dear to San Mao Guan is
It's actually a way of repaying a favor.
When the disciple first arrived in the capital, he had conflicts with Chen Tianshi and Li Dayin. However, Chen Tianshi ignored the past grievances and gave the disciple Xuantan Palace, which was close to his heart, to take care of. He recommended the disciple to be the deputy seal of Daolu Division. Whatever the disciple did
He fully supported everything he did and never encountered any obstruction.
The disciple was surrounded and killed by Zhu Xianxian's men. He immediately upheld justice and punished Zhu Xianxian. Then the situation changed and he rushed to Qixia Mountain overnight, where he was finally banned by Master Shao.
I would like to ask, if you act like this, how can you not protect Sanmao Pavilion when they are in trouble? If you watch Yuanfu Palace being snatched away by Sima Yunqing and his like without saying a word, can you be worthy of Master Chen? Is he worthy of himself?
Conscience?
If a disciple has made some small achievements and has a little reputation and regards himself as superior, forgets his kindness and just sits back and watches indifferently, then the disciple will look down on himself. The disciple thinks that no matter where he is, no matter how great his achievements are,
There are always some bottom lines when it comes to being a human being. What’s more, the people in Sanmao Mansion are not heinous!"
These words were sincere and sincere, which made Xu Yun'ao and Wu Yangzhong slightly moved. They looked at each other and nodded.
Observing this detail, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to compliment these two people a few more words, but he heard Xu Yun'ao say: "Master Wu Tian and I regard you as our own disciples, so we will tell you some things directly."
"Yes, disciple, listen to the teachings."
"You are very smart and have many ways to solve problems. You often take a different approach and are unique, but you are very relevant and the pattern is very big. What is rare is that you are not just empty talk, you can also calm down and do things, and you are quite practical.
, Wu Tianshi and I are both optimistic about you. Wu Tianshi just said that he wants to train you to take charge of Sanqing Pavilion, but I want you to take over Leixiao Pavilion even more."
"I am ashamed. I will do my best to receive such praise from you two!"
"We believe that you will do your best. Of course, this will all happen decades later. The premise is that you can enter the void... By the way, your life will be shortened by forty years. You need to pay close attention to your cultivation. You can't make mistakes in every step.
.”
Zhao Ran said: "The only thing the disciple can guarantee is that he will be able to give birth to a baby within two years." After a pause, he added: "As long as the disciple can continue to work for the Taoist sect."
Xu Yun'ao and Wu Yangzhong both laughed, and Wu Yang Zhong said: "There are thousands of avenues. You just have to choose one. You have heard of them all."
Xu Yun'ao pondered for a moment and said: "Wu Tianshi also said just now that the package of solutions you proposed today... the package of solutions... This statement is very interesting. It is indeed a high-level view and refreshing. But have you considered it yourself?
What’s the location inside?”
Zhao Ran understood what Xu Yun'ao meant and immediately said: "Therefore, my disciple suggested that the Daolu Division should be placed under the General View, on the same level as the Provincial View. The disciple is now the abbot of Yingtian Mansion, and the regulations of Yingtian Mansion are half a square higher than those of the neighboring states.
It’s equivalent to visiting the three capitals across the country.”
Now that the topic has been made clear, the two true masters have also said that they should train him as their future successor. This is not the time to be polite. If you don't seize the opportunity to show your "feelings" and continue to keep it under wraps, resulting in poor communication, it will be easy to repeat it again.
It happened like what happened during the Zhenshitang meeting in April, and I couldn't get the results I wanted.
Xu Yun'ao said: "The idea is good and the steps are right. Once the status of Daolu Secretary is determined, with your merits and qualifications, it will be a matter of course for you to be promoted to half a rank and take charge of Daolu Secretary. By then, Yuanfu Palace
Under your rule, it will be easy to protect Li Dayin. Am I right?"
Zhao Ran smiled dryly and said: "There is no wiser person than Master Xu."
Xu Yun'ao asked: "Do you think it can be done?"
Zhao Ran said: "The disciple also thinks it is not easy. What I am most worried about is that because the Daolu Director is involved in monks, the Zhenshitang will place him under the Sixth Pavilion of Shangguan. Then it will be difficult for the disciple to intervene again."
If Zhenshitang decides to place the Daolu Division in a certain pavilion under the six pavilions, in terms of its importance, it should at least be controlled by a monk at the level of the Great Master Refiner, just like Zhuo Yunfeng of Sanqing Pavilion, or
People like Qiu Yunqing of Dongji Pavilion, this is the right path.
When Shangguan was conferring the title, in addition to personal ability, what was more important was cultivation. They were all authentic Xuanmen monks. Without enough cultivation, how could others be willing to obey you? How could Zhao Ran, a mere great mage,
Commanding masters from other sects, even great masters?
If Dao Lu Si is really placed in the top position, he will no longer be faced with a simple overseas cultivator, but will also be faced with the problem of dealing with the elders of other Taoist schools.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages. If he wants to integrate Daolu Division into his hands, he has to face this hurdle. Therefore, his task in the past two days is to convince most of the real masters not to put Daolu Division into the Shangguan sequence.
Go inside.
Xu Yun'ao said: "It's not easy for you to think of this level, but this is only one aspect. Master Wu Tianshi and I have been talking here all afternoon, and we believe that your package solution may not be realized."
Zhao Ran immediately went through his plan again in his mind. He didn't feel that there were any loopholes in it, so he asked: "Is it Zhang Yuanji's side? Wouldn't Master Yuanji agree that his disciple would be in charge of Dao Lusi? Can he cooperate with Yuanji?"
The Heavenly Master talked about it, and the disciple does not need to sit in the position of the Secretary of the Daolu. The disciple can serve as the Zhengyin to assist the new Secretary of the Daolu."
