According to common theory, the emperor spent a huge amount of money and earned no less merit than Lu Zhiyu who controlled the missionary affairs in Korea. However, Lu Zhiyu still came to the fore. The reason for this is that Lu Zhiyu is more powerful than him.
Lu Zhiyu was born in a poor mountainous area in Lizhou. His physique is different from ordinary people. He is much stronger than the emperor. His amount of energy generation is even more unmatched by the emperor. Compared with an old abbot of Gu Tengjia's age, he is also stronger.
Far beyond, so he can be the first to break through.
Of course, this also depends on who you compare with. Compared with people like Zhuge Jiaguang who have been supplemented by the essence and blood of the Black Armored Turtle, they are not as good as others. In a few years, after Zhuge's self-propelled plow is further popularized,
Zhuge Jiaguang overtakes Lu Zhiyu, which is foreseeable again.
Let's say that the emperor went to Jingyang Tower, gave Zhao Ran a birthday gift of 10,000 taels of silver from Four Seasons Bank, and then got into the crowd again.
After saluting, the important officials in the court retreated one after another and pushed out a group of Taoists from the Shifang Jungle of Nanzhili. The emperor gestured behind him, and Feng Bao immediately stepped forward, holding the Ruyi magic weapon with both hands, and the emperor took action himself.
, like a magic trick, a bunch of bamboo tubes about three feet long and as thick as a bowl were removed from this storage artifact purchased at a high price. A smoking pot the size of a finger was separated from the main trunk of the bamboo tube.
After all the things were distributed, the emperor himself took one and introduced it to the Taoists: "I recently got a batch of treasures from Yunnan. It has a special taste and I would like to share it with you. This thing is called hookah..."
As he spoke, he shook the bamboo tube: "Did you hear it? It's all water. It makes a gurgling sound when you suck it. It's very interesting. Come on, I'll light it up for you all!"
As soon as he snapped his fingers, flames about a foot high shot out from his fingertips, making a hunting sound in the air, causing the entire prison and the three capitals to scream in surprise.
The emperor enjoyed the exclamations very much, and ordered them one by one, and then stared at them intently.
The hookah was extremely powerful, and after a loud buzzing sound, five or six people were unable to withstand the force, spinning around and falling down.
The emperor immediately burst out laughing, overjoyed. After laughing for a while, he sat down on the ground, took a breath of enjoyment, exhaled the smoke, and shouted: "Happy!"
The ministers who had retreated to the back gathered around and each one took out his own hookah, puffing in a circle, gesturing from time to time to the length of the flames on their fingertips, and discussing various interesting things in practice.
Zhao Ran noticed this scene from the side and was amused. The Suzhou Prefecture's Supervisor came to him with all the Taoist priests and begged: "Abbott, you are the abbot of Wenchangguan and the abbot of Nanzhili. How can you do this?"
Are you favoring one over the other? Yingtian's colleagues have all benefited from your teaching, but we don't have this blessing, so please ask the abbot to help you!"
Immediately behind him, more than a dozen people knelt down: "I beg the abbot to grant your permission!"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Everyone, please stand up. I agree."
During the banquet, Zhao Ran received flying talismans from his teacher and fellow disciples of the Zongsheng Hall to congratulate him on his birthday, received blessings from Master Zhou, and received a large number of more congratulations. White lights flashed around him all night, making people unable to open their eyes.
opened.
Seeing that he was happy but still worried, Rong Niang called Suchuan Yao over and asked, "What difficulties did your master encounter today?"
"No problem, right?"
"Let me hear everything that happened today."
Suchuan Yao told everything. After listening, Rong Niang nodded.
The banquet went into the middle of the night and all the guests dispersed. Rong Niang took Zhao Ran back to the house and said, "Tong Baimei is still making trouble, what do you think?"
Zhao Ran patted his forehead and said, "What ideas do you have? There is really nothing I can do. I think he is just free!"
Rong Niang said: "I have been thinking carefully in the past two months. My husband is right. He is just free."
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment and then realized: "You mean... find something for him to do?"
Rong Niang said: "Yes, don't let him be too idle. When people are free, they like to think about it. If your husband trusts me, I will make arrangements."
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said, "Don't hurt anyone."
Rong Niang smiled: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion. But I need a push from the joint meeting." Then she expressed her idea.
After hearing this, Zhao Ran immediately expressed his position: "This is a good thing. Even if there is no Tong Baimei, this matter is still worthy of action. But it cannot be initiated by the joint meeting alone. I will make a special trip to Lushan Mountain!"
"Then why don't you praise me quickly!"
Zhao Ran gently hugged Rong Niang and said, "Good wife! Come..."
………
Tong Baimei came out of the editorial office of "Qilu", and the editor-in-chief of the other party came to the door with a hidden smile: "I'm really sorry, Master Tong, such a life and death fight can be arranged in private, but it is difficult to do it in front of the public.
Sorry, we at Qilu cannot shoulder this responsibility."
"I remember that seven years ago, Lou Guan Wei Zhizhen made an appointment with the Four Masters, which was widely spread throughout the world. It was an uproar all over the world and was published in various periodicals. Why can't it be done when it comes to me? According to me, you are just afraid of his power.
!Humph, you really have rat ears!”
The editor-in-chief cursed in his heart: "You ask even if you know! Isn't this intentional to harm people?" But he said: "The great refiner was joking, the so-called one moment and the other moment. It had only been two years since the journal came out, and everyone was
I don’t know how to do this thing, it’s really arbitrary and unrestrained. But in the past few years, those of us who work on journals have all understood the truth, you can’t talk nonsense, don’t fart randomly, don’t you think so?”
Tong Baimei said angrily: "What's the difference? They all look the same to me!"
The editor-in-chief said: "No, no, it's really different. In March of the year before last, I went to Yingtian to attend the annual exchange meeting of editors-in-chief. Abbot Zhao was invited to attend and gave us an important speech. He said, we as public
Media people of communication...the media, the transfer station means, we must always keep in mind the social responsibilities on our shoulders..."
Tong Baimei was not interested in listening to a certain abbot's important speech, so he immediately walked away.
The editor-in-chief muttered a few words behind him. Seeing that Tong Baimei was far away, he put away the smile on his face and flicked his sleeves: "You don't even want to say how much you weigh, but you also want to drag us with you."
Having bad luck together? How ridiculous!”
I wanted to make a fight with someone but the other party refused to accept it. I wanted to follow the example of the Four Sword Masters in the past and encouraged the other party to accept the challenge in a journal, but none of the journals were willing to publish the article. What should I do?
For a moment, Tong Baimei was very depressed. He was walking on the streets of Jinan Mansion, feeling a little at a loss. He knew that Zhao Zhiran was in a high position, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zhiran was so powerful that his influence would be so great.
, I visited fifteen journals in six provinces for more than two months, but all of them were afraid of his power and did not dare to speak out. What should I do?
But he quickly cheered up again. If it didn't work in Shandong, he would go to Shanxi!
In a restaurant next to Baotu Spring, I filled my gourd with more than ten jars. Just after I paid the bill, I found that a person opposite me was always looking at me.
His appearance often attracts people's attention, and Tong Baimei is used to it. Just as he was about to leave the restaurant, the man walked over hesitantly and called tentatively: "Uncle Yan?"
Tong Baimei was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"
