On the fourth day of the grand meeting, Youdian Zao Yue Tengzhong, who came from Jianji Guanxiaguan in Lushan Mountain, formally raised the issue of the Three Parts of Hongyuan.
After a brief introduction, he added: "No matter how the three Hongyuan departments are dealt with, they will be brought under the jurisdiction of the Daomen of Sichuan Province in the future. Therefore, the overall view is to respect the opinions of colleagues in the Daomen of Sichuan Province. The promotion office is originally called Baima.
It was established during the Battle of Shanshan. Now that the war is almost over, it is difficult to make progress in the short term, so it will be abolished soon.
Zhuang Shuzheng has returned to Lushan in advance to report the post-war arrangements to the General Guan. Before leaving, he exchanged views with Xuanyuan Guan Li Supervisor and agreed to leave the matter to his colleagues in Sichuan Province for discussion and brainstorming to come up with an appropriate solution.
Feasible methods. I hope you will think carefully about this issue, express your thoughts, and provide suggestions for the final strategy for the Promotion Department and Xuanyuan Temple."
According to the arrangements between the Promotion Office and Xuanyuan Temple, the three hundred participating Taoist priests will be divided into seven groups for discussion. The eight deacons of Xuanyuan Temple and the 25 abbots of the Taoist palaces in eighteen states are one group.
(Eleven of them are not equipped with abbots); 41 of the 18 state palaces are in a group of three (some palaces are not equipped with all three); 92 county palaces have abbots and supervisors
A total of 145 people are divided into three groups (there is a vacancy for the abbot or supervisor); 106 temple priests are divided into two groups.
The discussion period lasts for three days. Everyone is required to give their opinions. All opinions must be recorded and summarized. No slack is allowed. Supervisor Li, Tongshu Xue, Governor Zhou and Governor Zhao will personally inspect and participate in the discussions of each group.
Under discussion.
In the discussion on the first day, regarding the issue of Hongyuan Three Parts, the enthusiasm of each group was not very high. Otherwise, this matter has nothing to do with everyone here. Maybe there are a few who want to discuss it with some senior officials.
They expressed themselves in front of others in an attempt to win the recognition of Li Yunhe and others and plan for the future, but more people followed a principle: it is better to say nothing than to remain silent.
To put it bluntly, there is no need to rush to the front to perform things that have little to do with you. No matter how good you perform, you may not be promoted and reused. But if you mess up, it will be too late to cry. The opportunities and risks are out of proportion.
Fighting big and small is not something a smart person would do.
Even Zhao Ran, an official fan, has little interest in this, let alone others.
Except for the Jingshou Palace of the Capital Prefecture, the Ziyang Palace of the Tongchuan Prefecture, and the Qingyang Palace of the Kuizhou Prefecture, a few supervisors discussed their ideas in earnest, but most of them were just trying to be careless. They just shouted slogans about the blessing of the ancestors.
, and then said that no matter what decision and arrangement the Dao Men Promotion Office and Xuanyuan Guan made, he would raise his hands to express his heartfelt approval. Several senior officials from Sichuan Province shook their heads in despair.
The discussion venue of the temple blessings was at the garrison mansion next to the Governor's Mansion. Zhao Ran made a speech during the discussion. Most of it was verbal, nothing more than a sincere expression. He almost listed the objects of gratitude, which sounded more like a thank-you speech.
, had nothing to do with opinions and suggestions, causing Zhao Yunlou, who was listening in, to shake his head.
Empty speeches became the theme of the day, and this phenomenon was particularly obvious in the two groups of temples and temples. Just imagine, you asked the temples and temples at the township and temple level to talk about newly occupied areas hundreds or thousands of miles away.
How should it be governed? Excuse me, does it have anything to do with Pindao?
A few temple ministers even read commentaries, novels, and storybooks below. When they saw the highlights, they applauded and praised them, which made the atmosphere of the speeches quite lively.
In less than three days, in the afternoon of the first day, Zhao Ran's group had finished speaking and had nothing to do.
Similar to the two groups of Miao Zhu, the three groups of abbots and supervisors of each county's Taoist yuan are not much better. For the same reason, the matter of Hongyuan has nothing to do with them.
The only ones in a slightly better situation were the eight deacons of Xuanyuan Guan and a group of palace supervisors from each prefecture. In addition to Song Zhiyuan, six or seven people including Jing Jingmo of Tongchuan and Xue Yunxiang of Kuizhou made careful preparations, and their respective speeches were also impressive.
Can be ordered.
When they got down in the evening, Song Zhiyuan asked Zhao Ran about the speeches of the temple blessings. Zhao Ran answered truthfully, which made Song Zhiyuan very unhappy.
Zhao Ran smiled bitterly and said: "Senior brother, you don't blame us for this, right? We are small temples, each of us sweeps the snow in front of the door, and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles. For such a big thing, the higher-ups decide what to do, just decide it directly,
You don’t even need to inform us, because it really has nothing to do with us. What else can you do except express your determination?”
Song Zhiyuan stayed in Xuanyuan Guan for four years and was deeply influenced by the "big picture view". He was very dissatisfied with this situation: "Xuan Yuan Guan is also hesitant at the moment. It is precisely because Li Supervisor Yuan has not yet matured his thinking that he consulted various parties.
Level opinion, you are so careless and unable to give good suggestions, and then you will kick the problem back to Xuanyuan Guan, then what is the point of convening a big meeting? "
Zhao Ran could only express regret for this.
Song Zhiyuan was furious. After being depressed for a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter. He thought to himself that he was really stupid. The devil in front of him had so many ideas. Why didn't he ask him what he could do about it first?
"Junior Brother Zhao, do you think there is any solution?"
"Senior Brother Song, are you referring to the three Hongyuan tribes, or are you talking about a major issue?"
"Of course it's a big discussion. Is there any way to make everyone think about this issue sincerely and from the bottom of their hearts?"
Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "In fact, it's not difficult. It's just to make the issue of the Hongyuan Tribunal and these people linked. Didn't the Hongyuan Tribunal promise to expel the Buddhist temple and rebuild a Taoist temple? Since a Taoist temple is to be built, then
Someone must go there, connect the two, and inform everyone in advance that the personnel must be selected from those attending the meeting, and the effect will definitely be different."
Song Zhiyuan nodded and shook his head: "This is a way, it doesn't take much trouble... But I'm afraid that everyone is not willing to go, and tomorrow's speech may be even more cold."
Zhao Ran said: "Then it depends on whether Li Supervisor is willing to... improve the standards of the Taoist temples in Longbai, Chama and Qionghe, and implement high-quality services. Those who go to the temple to pray will be equivalent to the three capital or county supervisors.
Send this decision out and see if anyone is willing to go! Those who want to go will naturally have to think carefully about it, and they will definitely be genuine when they speak."
Song Zhiyuan pointed at Zhao Ran and said with a smile: "I think you want to go?"
Zhao Ran said sternly: "I will do whatever it takes to help Taoism!"
In addition to Song Zhiyuan who was dissatisfied with the suggestions on the first day, Li Yunhe, Yue Tengzhong, Zhou Wei, Zhao Yunlou and others were also dissatisfied. They felt very bad when they went to each group to listen to opinions, and they simply shook their heads.
Li Yunhe asked Zhao Yunlou: "Do the temple blessings have any good suggestions?"
Zhao Yunlou shook his head: "According to the arrangements of the senior fellow in the prison, I went to listen to their speeches, but they didn't come up with any useful strategies."
Li Yunhe frowned: "Where's Junshan Temple? Where's Shuihe Temple? Where's Jingli Temple? Where's Chaohe Temple? Not even?"
"Indeed not. I paid special attention to those temples, but there is no practical content."
Li Yunhe snorted heavily, and everyone else was silent.
If the situation of group discussions in the next two days is the same as today, then there is no need to continue this meeting.
