In addition to recommending himself to go to Hongyuan to host the sermon, Zhao Zhixing also strongly recommended Zhao Ran. His original words were: "If Zhao Ran can go to Hongyuan to assist me, I will definitely do my best."
After a conversation, Zhao Zhixing did not dare to delay Li Yunhe's rest in the jail too much. He cleared the dishes and rice bowls on the table and left.
But Li Yunhe only rested in the middle of the night. He couldn't sleep at the moment, and he had just finished eating, so he put on some thick clothes, got up and walked in the yard, loosening his legs and feet while thinking about the twenty articles he had read today.
Included in superior policies.
As each policy statement emerged in his mind, his mind was constantly weighing and comparing between radicality and prudentness.
The strategy written by Jing Zhimo is indeed very good, but hiding armored soldiers in temples and killing unbelievers with such thunderous methods will inevitably plant the seeds of hatred in the three parts, right? How long will it take to eliminate this hidden danger? Ten
Years? Twenty years? Or forever?
If they can't be eliminated, don't they all have to be killed? If they are killed completely...this...more than 60,000 tribesmen, thinking of this number, even Li Yunhe, who is used to seeing the dangers in the world, can't help but tremble in his heart.
Thinking back to Xue Tengbin's strategy, it is prudent. But I am afraid that the problem cannot be solved within three to five years. If I delay it for one or twenty years, will it form a system? The three ministries manage the ministries by themselves. Once this example is started, in the future
What to do elsewhere?
Not to mention the distance, there are Beiding Tribe, Asi Tribe, Moulijie Tribe, etc. in the Songfan Guards. These more than ten tribes have submitted to the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years and completely follow the Ming Dynasty's jurisdiction. If it is the Red Tribe,
If the example of the original three tribes becomes a system, will these tribes also be greedy for it?
After much deliberation, I always found that there was no question of government jurisdiction. The three tribes in Hongyuan only established Taoist temples, and there was no government to suppress the local area. They lacked government functions. If they walked on one leg, they would inevitably be lame.
After thinking about it, a few words came to Li Yunhe's mind automatically: "Take his teachings and accept them in the temple, teach his poems and books to understand the truth, apply for official orders in front of the steps, and spread education among the people. This temple is also a yamen, and a yamen is also a temple."
That’s right! He also said: This means neither left nor right, the Tao and the Dharma should be kept in the middle ear.”
Li Yunhe pondered for a long time and walked around the courtyard for an unknown number of times. He suddenly walked to the concierge and called out the Taoist priest on duty: "Go to the Jietang study room quickly and find out Zhu Zhao Zhiran's strategy for Junshan Temple in Guyang County and give it to me.
I want to see it now."
The Taoist priest on duty hurriedly ran out, and Li Yunhe was waiting in the courtyard. After waiting for a long time, he became a little anxious.
After a while, the Taoist priest hurriedly ran back and said to Li Yunhe: "I searched for a long time in the prison but couldn't find it. Later I asked Senior Brother Liu who was on duty over there. He said that Zhao Zhiran's policy was half
It was taken away by Yue Tong's Department an hour ago. Prison Court, do you want me to go to Yue Tong's Department..."
Li Yunhe was stunned for a moment, smiled to himself, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let him see it first." He walked back to the room with his hands behind his back.
On the second day, the four people sat together again in the study room of the Promotion Department. After a few simple words, Yue Tengzhong said: "It's strange, after I went back last night, I have been thinking about how to deal with the three Hongyuan units.
I compared and compared the twenty policy essays on this issue, but what I always thought about was the "Hongyuan Sermon" written by Junshan Miaozhu."
Seeing Zhao Yunlou nodding slightly, as if he had something to say, Zhou Gao also smiled and said: "Yes, it's that article. I sent someone to pick it up last night. Later I heard that you got it first, haha."
Yue Tengzhong looked at Li Yunhe. Li Yunhe nodded and told him to continue, and then said: "I asked someone to take the strategy back and study it. After reading it over and over, I discovered that in addition to the 'strange talk' and the 'whimsical theory'
In addition to the two comments, it seems that we can add 'detailed and thorough' and 'practical and feasible'. I wonder if you think so?"
Li Yunhe said: "Can you please ask Yue Tong to read this article again?"
Zhao Ran's "Hongyuan Preaching" contains more than 2,000 words and is divided into three parts.
The first part talks about the situation in the Hongyuan area. This is what he has seen or heard from Song Zhiyuan, Bai Tengming, Zhao Zhixing, and all kinds of people he has come into contact with these days, combined with his own understanding of the local tribal system when he was in the Xia Kingdom.
It's a guess. Although it's a guess, it fits very well and basically hits the point. As far as this part alone is concerned, it's far beyond the level of knowledge that a village temple priest can achieve.
The second part combines the agreements reached between Taoism, the imperial court and the three tribes of Hongyuan, and explains in detail one by one the areas that can be changed. Which ones must be observed, which ones can be secretly changed, and which ones can be used to benefit.
, all clicked. This method of analysis is quite innovative. The four big figures here have never been exposed to it, so they rated it as "weird talk" yesterday. But now I sat down and thought about it seriously, and I found that it is indeed
It makes sense.
The third part, which is also the longest part, is the solution to the problem. The biggest problem in the agreement between the three tribes of Hongyuan and the imperial court was that the imperial court was not allowed to establish official offices in the three tribes. Based on this, the radicals and the prudent faction emerged.
debate.
Zhao Ran's solution is actually very simple, which is to use the Taoist Yuan to perform the functions of the government offices. Since you said you are not allowed to set up government offices, then I won't set up one. But what the Taoist Yuan does is what I have the final say on, you know?
The original three departments have no right to criticize.
How to let the Taoist Temple perform the functions of the government? Zhao Ran's method is also very simple. In the original Taoist Temple, the eight deacons were responsible for managing internal affairs. Only the Fangzhu and Gao Gong had local power, but they were mainly concentrated in
Taoist affairs.
Only the Supervisor or the Abbot can have a major influence on the handling of local affairs and intervene in unreasonable governance policies. The three capitals can also involve the local area, but it must be achieved through the system of the three capitals' discussions.
Zhao Ran's suggestion is that the Taoist temple established in the Hongyuan area should give the eight deacons real local disposal powers, such as strengthening the responsibilities of the Fangtang master and granting the power to appease public security and use force; such as granting the power of the Jingtang to educate the people.
Responsibilities, the Jingtang is responsible for the education of local literary style; for example, granting Dianzaotang the responsibilities of the county government office; such as granting financial rights to the warehouse and jurisdiction over the warehouse...
In this way, a Taoist temple not only has the original functions of a Taoist temple, but also performs the functions of an official office. When the two are combined into one, walking on two legs, it is naturally stable. As for the so-called autonomy of the three ministries, in such a powerful institution,
Under the Ming Dynasty, everything was in vain. Within three to five years, it would be firmly integrated into the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it was already a slow-motion reform.
As for the relationship with the above, the method of separate management and coordination is implemented. In terms of education and evangelism, it accepts the management of Taoist sects. In terms of local governance, it is connected to the governor's office of Western Sichuan.
In terms of staffing, it can be expanded and crossovers are allowed. Xuanyuan Guan selects Taoist priests to take charge of the overall affairs of the Taoist temple, which can be the abbot. The Governor's Office of Western Sichuan selects capable officials to fill them, and they can be the supervisor. The following levels are all
You can follow this example.
All court officials admitted to Taoist temples in the Hongyuan area must undergo Taoist inspections. After passing the assessment, they will be awarded Taoist certificates, breaking the division between Taoist gates and official offices and integrating them into one.
This is what Zhao Ran proposed: "Neither left nor right" and "Keep the law in line with the law." In short, "deal with special issues", "establish special zones", and take the third path.
