Chapter 29 Deprivation or resignation? (Birthday 2)
In the True Master Hall, the topic of whether Zhao Ran is guilty is unfolding.
Although there is no clear evidence, the Queen Mother was responsible for spiritual practice, the gift of wine that night, Zhu Xianjian's death, etc. were all very detrimental to the Queen Mother. In addition to the fact that the body was not found, they were clear reminders to all true masters. The Queen Mother reported to Zhao all night
However, the possibility of seeking revenge is extremely high.
On the other hand, Zhao Ran really had no reason to kill the Queen Mother at night. The Queen Mother left the West Palace on her own initiative. In fact, the scene of the fight was not in the West Palace, which in itself explains the problem.
What's more, during the hearing just now, even Zhu Qigu herself admitted that when the two were fighting on Luosha Island, Zhao Ran never made a single attack on Zhu Qigu. He either defended or evaded. This shows Zhao Ran's thoughts.
The Queen Mother retaliated against Zhao Ran and was killed by Zhao Ran. All the true masters held a positive opinion on this. As for the whereabouts of the body, most people imagined that it was the fire in the Ancestral Temple. The truth behind the fire in the Ancestral Temple is something that no one can uncover.
's secret.
The key point is that at the hearing, several real masters asked Zhao Ran why the Queen Mother's matter was not reported to the real master hall truthfully. Regarding this issue, Zhao Ran could only admit his mistake and expressed deep regret. In his ambiguous explanation, because
The subsequent "major incident" - Zhao Ran's original words, and the serious injuries he suffered during the "major incident" made him unable to think about this issue during the half-year period when he was about to recuperate. In other words, he forgot about it.
The true masters understood what he meant by "major events" and knew not to dwell on this issue, or even to clarify the major events, but they were not satisfied with his "forgetting". But they were not satisfied.
Not satisfied, Zhao Ran just "forgot", what else can he say?
Zhang Yuanji suddenly said: "Even if this matter is not Zhao Zhiran's fault, he should still bear a certain responsibility. Because of his so-called 'forgetting', the current situation has arisen. Zhu Qiqi wants to seek revenge from Zhao Ran.
It makes sense. What disappoints me is that Zhao Ran not only 'forgot' to report the matter to the Queen Mother, he also 'forgot' that he had an illegitimate son. This is intolerable. He is already a great alchemist.
, and also shouldered responsibilities in other aspects, Zhenshitang even handed over the general affairs of Jiangnan to him. Such a high-ranking person, who is also an eminent scholar of our Taoist sect, has such a stain, which is really unsatisfactory."
Some real masters nodded frequently and agreed, but this also made Huang Bingyue quite anxious. Zhang Yuanji's statement was actually to forcefully connect the case with Zhao Ran's life style, which would inevitably lead to bad results, so he immediately
Retort: "Today's question is about the case between Zhao Zhiran and the Queen Mother. Don't change irrelevant topics casually, let alone involve them in one place at will."
Zhang Yuanji said coldly: "What Master Huang said is wrong. I have just said that as a Taoist master, you should set an example for your fellow Taoists in the world. Have you ever seen any master in charge make such a mistake? Really?
If the master hall does not impose punishment and continues to indulge, the fellow Taoists in the world will think that we encourage this kind of behavior! If it spreads, won't it become the laughing stock of the world? Furthermore, in any case, as a Taoist scholar, the death of the Queen Mother will be fine.
Whether he had an illegitimate child or even had his wife and children kidnapped, Zhao Zhiran actually didn’t report anything to the True Master Hall. Does he still have the True Master Hall in his eyes? This is already arrogant!”
All the true masters were silent. Indeed, as Zhang Yuanji said, no matter what the reason is, such things should be reported.
Zhang Yuanji snorted and said: "In any case, Zhao Zhiran's behavior of ignoring the Zhenshitang is a taboo for all those who hold high positions. The Zhenshitang should warn the comrades in the world, otherwise there will be many people who follow, really
Where is the majesty of the master hall?"
Yu Daochun asked: "Brother Songyang, how should we deal with this situation?"
Zhao Songyang muttered: "This matter is unprecedented and there is no basis for it, but if we have to deal with it, we can consider revoking the job."
Zhenren Zhou shouted: "Nonsense!"
Zhao Songyang said to Zhou Yunzhi slowly: "I am the real person sitting in Dongji Pavilion. Of course my suggestions are pertinent. Where is the nonsense?"
Zhou Yunzhi said: "Everyone knows that you don't like Zhao Zhiran. What are you suggesting if it's not nonsense?"
Zhao Songyang said disdainfully: "This is the True Master Hall, and we are discussing important matters, not a housewife's house! Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Yuanji nodded his head: "I agree to take away his position as a warning to others!"
This is a very serious punishment, and it will have a big impact on personal reputation. Zhenren Zhou can't believe it: "Why have you gone crazy? Have you gone crazy in your cultivation?"
During the argument, Guo Hongjing suddenly said: "Before Zhao Zhiran rushed to Nanhai, he asked Senior Brother Chen to submit his resignation to the Zhenshi Hall, and he also took the initiative to report these things to us."
Zhang Yuanji asked: "When? Why didn't I know?"
Guo Hongjing said: "Senior Brother Chen informed me and Master Bingyue, but we couldn't bear to sit back and watch the two sides fight, so we rushed to persuade them to make peace, and we both left in a hurry. I thought Bingyue would tell you, Bingyue thought I would tell you
Everyone, it turned out that we all ignored it. At this point, Bingyue and I apologize to everyone."
Huang Bingyue also bowed and said: "It is indeed an oversight. This junior has just entered the True Master Hall and still doesn't understand many of the rules. I rely on the guidance of my seniors."
Seeing that these two people were taking the responsibility on themselves, Zhao Songyang stopped talking. Zhang Yuanji took over and said: "He still knows how to hand in his resignation? Forget it, where is the resignation?"
Guo Hongjing took out a resignation letter and showed it to all the masters on the spot. Sure enough, it was Zhao Ran's handwritten resignation letter.
Zhang Yunyi said above: "Since there is a resignation, let's vote according to the resignation. Whether to agree to Zhao Zhiran's resignation or to retain him, the decision will be made on this vote."
Zhang Yuanji, Zhao Songyang, Li Junyang, Yu Daochun, Yang Yunmeng, Shen Yunjing, Dongfang Ming, and Du Yanghong all voted for Zhao Zhiran to resign as a punishment; Zhou Yunzhi, Huang Bingyue, Wu Yangzhong, Song Yangshi, Guo Hongjing, and Wang Jingyun voted to retain; Zhang Yunyihe
Wang Changyu abstained from voting.
Eight to six, Zhenshitang approved Zhao Ran's resignation.
Zhou Yunzhi was furious, pointing at the people who voted: "Don't you think about it, whose credit is it that makes the world's credibility reach two billion? Now that the credibility has reached, you are crossing the river and burning the bridge? You really have a good face!"
Zhang Yuanji said coldly: "The increase in credibility is the result of the joint efforts of all the Taoist halls and fellow Taoists in Shifang Jungle. It is not brought about by one person. Master Zhou must understand it."
Song Yangshi took Zhenren Zhou and left first. Zhenren Zhou was still angry: "They actually want to depose Zhao Zhiran. Is this justified?"
Song Yangshi said: "I agree with Zhao Zhiran's resignation, not depose him."
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is huge. Moreover, the Great Heavenly Master Yunyi and the Great Master Chang Yu have had this idea before and only told a few people. I guess if they disagreed with the vote before, they will also vote to agree later.
.”
Zhou Yunzhi asked doubtfully: "What do they mean?"
Song Yangshi said: "It certainly has a purpose."
Although Zhou Yunzhi was puzzled, she could not hide her anger: "You are just trying to balance and mess around! So, Zhu Qiqi's kidnapping case is fine?"
Song Yangshi said: "No one was hurt, but he will be detained for half a year."
"So light?"
"Even Zhao Ran stated that he hopes to receive a lighter sentence, why would anyone else go into this muddy water? Furthermore, after all, he is a member of the Yuhuang Pavilion. Where is Dongfang Ming, who has the nerve to vote for a heavier sentence?"
"What are you sorry for?"
"So I ask you to go first, otherwise you will offend others when you vote."
ps: Zhao Zhiran was able to celebrate his birthday only because of the support of the die-hard fans of Junshan Friends. Zhao Zhiran held a fast festival for everyone and added a chapter to express his gratitude!
