The joint meeting formally proposed a bill to Zhenshitang in December last year to establish the Nanhai Governor-General. In this bill, the Nanhai Governor-General was divided into six prefectures, including Yunji Prefecture, Jinghua Prefecture, Lvzhu Prefecture, etc.
etc. At the same time, according to the framework of Taoism, six Taoist temples were built in six mansions. Among them, Zhou Yumo's Jinghua Mansion set up Jianjia Hall, and Zhou Yumo served as the chief elder of Jianjia Hall.
After this plan was approved, Zhao Ran felt relieved and replied: "Thank you, Sister-in-law, for your hard work."
Next, there are a series of complicated procedures. The joint meeting needs to process the documents of the palace, the court must appoint the prefect, etc. Under Zhao Ran's suggestion, the joint meeting proposes to Zhenshi Hall that the candidate for governor is Chu Yangcheng.
It is located on Yunji Island.
In the layout conceived by Zhao Ran, Xu Yun was in charge of Yingzhou, Chen Shandao was in charge of the East China Sea, and Chu Yangcheng was in charge of the South China Sea. The three made up the maritime screen vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire maritime territory could be protected without worries.
But within two days, Lu Yuanyuan informed Zhao Ran that Chu Yangcheng had accepted the appointment as the elder of the Yunji Mansion Taoist Hall, but refused the post of governor of the South China Sea. The reason was that he did not want to be tired of trivial matters in the world. Please ask the joint meeting again
Delegate to others.
Zhao Ran suggested that Chu Yangcheng should be the governor. On the one hand, he had settled in Nanhai, so it was natural for him to serve as governor. On the other hand, he also had the intention of reconciliation. If the Donghai Governor-General was first established, no Lianxu Gaoxiu had understood it.
Chen Shandao was the one who worked hard and accepted the assignment in the face of danger. When the Governor-General District was established in Yingzhou, many Lianxu set their sights on this position, but no one could compete with Xu Yun.
Now that the Nanhai Governor-General has been established, the overseas governor's role is a piece of cake. This has become the consensus among the Lianxu people. Overseas affairs are under the control of the joint conference. Lu Yuanyuan has already felt tremendous pressure in the position of recommending candidates for the Nanhai Governor-General.
.Chu Yangcheng was unwilling to serve as governor. Zhao Ran didn't know whether he really didn't want to do it, or whether he was unwilling to accept Zhao Ran's kindness or favor, which made Zhao Ran a little disappointed. Although he was disappointed, he could only give up, but he would not be disappointed.
Kneel down and go to the door to beg Chu Yangcheng to come out, right?
Chu Yangcheng is unwilling to serve as governor, but there are many people who are willing to do so!
Zhao Ran asked Lu Yuanyuan: "Uncle Lu, do you want to go to the South China Sea?"
Lu Yuanyuan replied: "My father has not yet broken the void, so he cannot be the governor."
Zhao Ran said: "Who said that one must practice physical training to become the governor?"
Lu Yuanyuan said: "Do you want me to continue presiding over the joint meeting, or do you want my father to be the governor of the South China Sea? You make your own choice. I cannot continue to preside over the joint meeting after recommending my father."
Zhao Ran shook his head. This kind of operation that requires extreme shamelessness is indeed not Deyouguan's style. It may be more uncomfortable than killing them.
"Who else knows about this? Has it spread?"
"Not yet. Master Chu Tianshi replied to me directly, and others don't know yet."
Zhao Ran paced back and forth in Qiu Ran's center. After walking for a while, Kong Yangqing's face immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and he suddenly woke up.
"Second sister-in-law, do you have anyone you would like to recommend?"
"No, you should suggest it. I don't know much about the Xu Lian monks for such a big matter. What if I use the wrong person? I don't know what to do."
"What do you think of Kong Yangqing in Yuhuang Pavilion?"
"You can say that he is him, but for what reason? Zhenren Kong is not well-known. I am afraid that mentioning it will cause controversy. There are many people who want to be the governor."
"This is easy. All you need is a reasonable reason. The news of Chu Tianshi's refusal to resign has been suppressed for a few days, so don't tell others."
"Then I'll wait for your news."
After communicating with Lu Yuanyuan, Zhao Ran immediately flew a symbol to Dongfang Jing: "Senior Brother Jing, I heard that my brother-in-law... Chu Tianshi is not willing to serve as the governor?"
Dongfang Jing replied: "It is indeed very regrettable, but my uncle is such a person. He has devoted his life to spiritual practice. It is okay to ask him to come out to fight, but to deal with secular affairs, this is not his wish."
Zhao Ran asked: "Isn't it because of seclusion?"
After a while, Dongfang Jingcai replied: "Of course it is possible, what does Zhiran mean?"
Zhao Ran said: "There has been an old case of Master Yangming and Uncle Xu failing to retreat. If Master Chu also goes into retreat, the South China Sea is far away and there is no one to take care of them. I will be very worried."
After waiting for another long while, Dongfang Jing replied: "Zhiran's worry is indeed very reasonable. I immediately asked Elder Kong to go to Yunji Island to see what happened. Thank you Zhiran for reminding me."
After communicating with Dongfang Jing, Zhao Ran asked Pei Zhongning, who served as the abbot of Jiming Temple, to give him a copy of the various frictions that had occurred between Li Guo and Ming Dynasty in recent years. As a result, Pei Zhongning sent the original copy directly to him.
Coming.
Zhao Ran said: "You have to make a special trip for this matter. Wouldn't it be great if you asked someone to copy it to me?"
Pei Zhongning said: "There are quite a lot of official documents. I don't know which ones you want to see, so I might as well send them to you."
Zhao Ran said: "Okay, it's not easy to come back. Stay with Dajun Mountain for a few days. I'll take you back after I've seen it."
Pei Zhongning sat opposite Zhao Ran with a smile on his face and watched Zhao Ran flip through the official documents.
Zhao Ran read two copies, raised his head and said, "Aren't you going to go find Rong Niang, Butcher, Rich Master Shen and the others?"
Pei Zhongning said: "I'll be there soon. By the way, I'm quite angry about something."
"What's wrong?"
"As soon as the one million taels of silver you escorted back arrived, someone came to Jian Jiguan's warehouse and asked to send them all. I said that half of it was to be delivered to the Ministry of Accounts. They said that the next batch of silver would be given to the households.
This batch was all sent to the Jianji Temple warehouse, so I agreed. But just a few days ago, Zhang Yuanji started a class at Jianji Temple and directly worshiped Nazhen Tianzun. This is one million, yes
You worked so hard to fight back, Zhang Yuanji is really worshiped by all of you! All of us in Jiming Temple were so angry, Qianxun and the others went to Jianji Temple to find Zhang Yuanji, and I said all kinds of things to him.
That’s why I stopped him.”
Zhao Ran sighed: "Be mentally prepared, this kind of thing will happen in the future."
Pei Zhongning stayed with Rong Niang in Dajun Mountain for five days, teasing Chen Bao for five days and coaxing Chen Bao to call him "aunt" and "aunt" for five days. Zhao Ran also read the official documents for five days and compiled a list.
After receiving a copy of the materials, he went to the editorial office of "Junshan Notes" and gave the materials to Yu Zhichuan: "Second Senior Brother, find a few pens to organize these materials and try to change the focus in these issues."
After Yu Zhichuan looked at it, he asked: "Zhiran plans to go to war with Li State?"
Zhao Ran said: "It can't be said that we will start a war immediately. Let's build up momentum first and make some preparations."
Yu Zhichuan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Then we need to arrange the order and rhythm of publishing. First publish a part, then suppress it, and then do another explosion before the war begins."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Senior brother, just figure it out. You have more experience in this area than me."
Yu Zhichuan asked: "Junior brother, is it too frequent to keep beating like this?"
Zhao Ran smiled bitterly: "I originally planned to take a rest for two or three years, but suddenly an opportunity came up. I thought, let's just take advantage of the situation, and it will be whatever level it takes."
