According to the rules of the Taoist sect, the final decision will be made after the public recommendation, and even the General View has no right to reject it. Of course, if the General View does not approve this candidate, there will be countless troubles in the future. Not only will the Du Teng Society, the Supervisor of Tianhe Palace, be unstable,
Xuanyuan Guan will also suffer the consequences, and Li Yunhe and Zhao Yunlou will have to bear the responsibility afterwards. Therefore, the nominee of Du Tenghui is not just someone who comes up with it casually. He will have to find a way to clear up many subsequent tricks.
But these things are all things for the future. At least now, the Du Teng Society’s ascension is certain. There was nothing to say that night. When I got up the next day, I attended the Du Teng Society’s “enthronement” ceremony.
Because there is no trace of Tianhe Palace, the candidates for the three capitals, and the eight deacons are still on paper, so the "enthronement" ceremony of the Du Teng Society is as simple as possible, with the presence of leaders of more than 300 sects in the province.
In this case, it will be held at the Promotion Department.
On the first night, there were Taoist boys on duty setting up all the tools needed for the ceremony. Except for Zhao Ran, almost all the Taoist priests in Ye Xueguan in Long'an Mansion rushed to help.
I don’t know where I temporarily pulled the statue of Sanqing Taoist statue and placed it in the main hall. I also arranged and hung a silk curtain and temporarily hired a skilled craftsman to build a Dharma platform. On the Dharma platform, I placed a "Dharma seat" and equipped it with
Even if there is a Dharma hall for holding the "enthronement" ceremony with offerings, futons and other items.
As for the ceremonial procession holding the umbrella canopy, chanting sutras, and holding magical instruments, the Taoist priests from the West Zhenwu Palace naturally made guest appearances.
Du Tenghui, on the other hand, hid in his room and spent the whole night writing the manuscripts that would be needed for the "Ascension to the Altar" tomorrow.
In addition to this manuscript, Du Tenghui also wrote three consecutive letters, all of which were sent to General View.
He won the public recommendation by "bouncing the vote". The General View can only hold his nose and admit it, but it does not mean that the General View can't deal with you. Even if the "enthronement" ceremony is held, as long as the General View is annoyed, the General View will be ignored.
Three to five months later, you will be given a light transfer order, telling you to report to Lushan, and you will have no choice but to cry - you will still be retained at the provincial level of Sandu, but you will be asked to stay in some idle Taoist position for two days.
In ten years, it would be better to be the abbot of a state capital.
While the colleagues in Long'an Mansion were busy all night, Zhao Ran took a nap and had a good sleep. He was indeed very tired from the past day.
Abbot Du's enthronement ceremony was held on the thirteenth day of this big meeting, which was the third day after the big meeting was postponed. This was normal. After all, no big meeting had been held in seven years. It didn't matter if it was delayed for a few days.
Jing Zhimo woke up last night. It is said that he was just angry and his body was not seriously injured. He did not attend the Du Teng Society's enthronement ceremony because he was unwell, but he seemed to have regained his senses and issued instructions to everyone present in Tongchuan Prefecture.
Taoist priests are required to attend the ceremony.
Under the watchful eye of hundreds of Taoist priests, Du Teng will be wearing a purple Taoist robe and a nebula crown on his head. He is holding the jade Ruyi in both hands, uniting his heart to honor the three treasures. He will be led by the four deacons of Xuanyuan Temple and sing hymns in the cave.
, under the light of the flags and canopies, enter the main hall, burn incense and worship, praying to the ancestors to protect the peace and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the people, and the prosperity of Taoism.
Afterwards, Du Tenghui ascended the Dharma throne and preached a section on the understanding of the origin of Tao from the "Tongxuan Zhenjing". Not to mention, Du Tenghui's grasp of the meaning of the scriptures was really good.
He quoted from many sources, and his language was easy to understand without any sense of obscurity, which made Zhao Ran admire him for the first time.
After the lecture, Zhao Yun went up to the building and gave a speech, which was basically nothing more than congratulations and admonishment. Afterwards, Li Yunhe awarded him the three altar precepts, which was considered a completion of the ceremony.
Originally, there were many small rituals and rules after that, but this time the situation was different and the conditions were simple, so there were no longer many cutscenes.
The public promotion ceremony was over, and Yue Tengzhong's mission as a supervisor was completed. He congratulated Du Tenghui without smiling and left immediately.
There were such big mistakes in the recommendation ceremony. From a certain point of view, it was equivalent to failing to complete the supervision task. I didn't know how to explain it to the big bosses in the overview. Of course, I had no intention of staying to discuss matters.
He was both angry and worried at the moment, and was ready to leave immediately to return to Lushan to report the details and wait for the General View's ruling.
Before leaving, Yue Tengzhong went to visit Jing Zhimo and saw him lying on the bed, looking exhausted, so he sighed and said, "Why are you doing this? I said that day not to cause trouble, but what now? I don't even know what to do when I go back."
How to explain..."
Jing Zhimo shook his head and said: "If we didn't take the opportunity to get him to Songfan that day, where would there be a chance in the future? It just didn't work out."
Yue Tengzhong said: "It's too late to say anything. I will try my best to distinguish it for you when I go back. You should calm down during this period and don't do anything."
Jing Zhimo smiled: "You can deal with me how you want, but I have said repeatedly before that Zhao Zhiran must be taken seriously, but no one above him will listen..."
Yue Tengzhong nodded: "We were mistaken. Who would have thought that a small temple can be so capable of flipping, hehe! It's really an eye-opener..."
…
After the Taoist disciples dispersed, Du Teng was left by Li Yunhe and Zhao Yunlou for a separate interview. The main issue was the system architecture of the Songfan Taoist Gate. This included the setting up of Taoist palaces, Taoist temples, and the candidates for the structure.
Xuanyuan Guan didn't want to delay it any longer, so he took out the plan he had originally agreed upon with Jing Zhimo and handed it over to Du Teng for discussion and asked for his opinion.
When Du Tenghui was the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, he did not perform enough rituals for Xuanyuan Guan, and Xuanyuan Guan also had a bad impression of him. Therefore, during this recommendation, Xuanyuan Guan chose to support Du Tenghui. There were originally two
It means choosing the lesser of harm.
But after being enthroned today, Du Tenghui's level and status have risen to a higher level, but his attitude has become respectful. Compared with Jing Zhimo's behavior during the conversation that day, Li Yunhe and Zhao Yunlou were greatly surprised.
Meanwhile, my impression of him gradually changed.
After some simple consultations, Du Teng would have a brief understanding of the Songfan plan proposed by Xuanyuan Guan, and after changing a few candidates, he accepted almost all of it, which greatly pleased Li Yunhe and Zhao Yunlou.
Du Tenghui's pre-appointment talk went very smoothly and ended in less than half an hour. Based on the change in his perception, Zhao Yunlou asked a question.
"Tenghui, the results of this public recommendation are really unexpected. Of course, Xuanyuan Guan will definitely write a letter to express his feelings to the General Guan and try his best to explain it. Do you have any plans on your side?"
This is to remind Du Tenghui that if there is any way over there, you should move quickly. Although we will try our best here, we are not completely sure. Don't you just become the supervisor of Tianhe Palace?
After half a year, he was removed by the general administration with a transfer order. By then, everyone would be in disgrace and it would not look good.
Du Tenghui smiled and said: "Thank you very much to the prison and the governor. Please rest assured. Over there in Lushan Mountain, I still have some confidence in my heart."
Zhao Yunlou knew some details about the Du Teng Society, and after hearing his confident assurance, he felt a little relieved. Xuanyuan Guan and the forces behind the Du Teng Society are currently sharing the same fate. At least in this matter, they must
Hug together for warmth.
Just as Du Teng was about to leave, Zhao Yunlou suddenly asked again: "How do you plan to arrange it for Zhao Zhiran, the Junshan Temple who nominated you?"
Du Teng was stunned for a moment. He had been in a state of excitement for the past two days, and all he could think about was his promotion to the throne. He almost forgot about Zhao Ran.
Not only did he know that Zhao Ran was forcibly transferred to Tianhe Palace by Jing Zhimo, but he also wanted to watch the excitement. Who would have thought that this would trigger such a fierce resistance from Zhao Zhiran, and he would pull Jing Zhimo down in one fell swoop, and finally achieve his goal.
Kill yourself!
At this moment, seeing Zhao Yunlou solemnly asking about Zhao Zhiran's arrangements, and seeing Li Yunhe listening attentively, he felt a shiver in his heart, secretly thinking, could this be the real source of Xuanyuan Guan's dissatisfaction with Jing Zhimo?
He had just used an unconventional means of "bouncing votes" to come to power. It was exactly when he needed Xuanyuan Guan's full support. Of course, he could not just violate the wishes of the two Sichuan province bosses. How to arrange it to satisfy them?
Du Teng's mind was racing, and he quickly recalled carefully the plan that Zhao Ran put on his desk the night before yesterday. Fortunately, he had read it at the time. Although he only browsed it casually and did not read it seriously, he still had an impression of the general content.
.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Zhao Zhiran is extremely talented..." As soon as he said this, he immediately noticed that Zhao Yunlou's face suddenly became very embarrassed. He immediately woke up and quickly changed his words: "Well, to be honest, back then,
I have dealt with Zhao Zhiran, and we didn’t get along well with each other, but I have to admit that Zhao Zhiran is a talented person who is good at affairs. Some of his ideas are very interesting. Sometimes they may seem a bit whimsical, but when implemented, the results are very good..."
Hearing this, Zhao Yunlou nodded and said: "The fact that you think so shows that you have great courage and determination."
Du Teng said: "It's all about Muzan... Therefore, I think we should give him an extra burden."
