Chapter 42 Bad News

Zhao Ran savored these words and noticed that Zhao Yunyi said "the Taoist clan will not treat him badly" instead of "the imperial court will not treat him badly", so he bravely said: "Yes, I will definitely take care of Dadu's good intentions."

Convey it to Zhang Lue. Just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that Zhang Lue is really a little discouraged. A few days ago, I went to Xunyang Ferry to hire a boat. I happened to meet Zhang Lue who was also hiring a boat to return to Sichuan Province. I had a brief chat with him. What he meant was that now

The battle at Baima Mountain has stopped, and seeing that there won't be any major wars in the next few years, he feels homesick. He said that it has been eighteen years since he left home, and he has never served the emperor, nor fulfilled his responsibilities as an eldest brother.

It is very unfilial and I want to quit the army and always be with my parents from now on."

"He can be considered a filial son, and his filial piety is commendable."

"What Guan Dadu said is true. It was also a coincidence that that day I happened to meet a general who served with Zhang Lue in Songfan. This man was Wuchang Wei Zuo Qianhu. He led his sergeants to Dasheng Pass to change defenses, and he left the same way.

Waterway. Therefore, Zhang Lue envied this Qianhu very much, and also hoped that he could deploy defenses inland and be closer to home..."

Zhao Yunyi interrupted: "Wuchang Guard Qianhu? Transferred to Dashengguan to change defense?"

Zhao Ran nodded: "Exactly, this person's name is Luo Hong. He was originally in the Songfan Guards Army and was famous for his ability to shoot arrows. After the battle of Baima Mountain, he was transferred to Wuchang Guard Zuo Qianhu..."

"What did Luo Hong say?"

"What do you mean by metropolitan management?"

"It's a matter of switching defenses and winning big."

Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "Luo Hong said that after receiving the order from the Ministry of War, three thousand households from Wuchang Guard were transferred to Dasheng Pass to change the defense. He was one of them. Zhang Lue was very envious at the time and said that if he could and

Like him, it would be nice to be so close to the capital and he could go home to visit his parents often. Luo Hong said that he didn’t know whether this trip would be a good or bad thing, because the capital is very noisy now and the situation is a bit unstable..."

Zhao Yunyi pondered without saying anything, and pressed a few cases lightly with his fingers. After a long time, he said, "How is Zhang Lue? Do you know him?"

Zhao Ran said: "The soldiers were convinced by their bravery in fighting, but it's a pity that there is no help from the DPRK..."

Zhao Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and said, "Has he returned to Sichuan now?"

Zhao Ran said: "He is still waiting for me in Xunyang Town. We made an appointment to return together."

Zhao Yunyi said: "You ask him to come to Jianji to see me the day after tomorrow... no, tomorrow afternoon."

Zhao Ran hurriedly agreed and said with a smile: "Zhang Lu must be very happy to be able to meet the governor."

He unintentionally helped Zhang Lue a big favor, and Zhao Ran was also happy for him. He was about to bring the topic to himself when he heard Zhao Yunyi say: "There is something that I'm afraid you should be mentally prepared for."

Zhao Ran thought to himself that this was a matter that concerned him, so he listened with all his attention.

"A few days ago, Fu Yunzhen of the General Guanfang Hall and Pan Yunxiang of the Dianzhu Academy jointly wrote a book called "Monks in the Pavilion Do Not Enter the Jungles of Ten Directions". The main content is just one article. After the approval of the three capitals, an edict will be issued. From now on

The monks in the pavilion do not hold Taoist positions in Shifang Jungle, so as not to disturb the laws and rules of Shifang Jungle."

Fu Yunzhen is the master of the left side of the square hall, and Pan Yunxiang is the left dianzao of the Dianzao Academy. They are both the eight deacons of the canonical Jianji Guanxiaguan. They are the same level of Taoist priests as Li Yunhe of the Xuanyuan Guanyuan of Sichuan Province, and they are located in the center.

, showing more respect. The two of them jointly signed the book, so one can imagine its importance.

Zhao Ran was stunned immediately, thought for a moment, and said: "Didn't there be an edict before for the monks in the palace not to interfere in the affairs of the Shifang Jungle? How could such a book suddenly appear?"

Zhao Yunyi explained: "There is actually no explicit edict for the monks in the pavilion not to interfere in the affairs of Shifang Jungle. The source of this sentence actually comes from "Changchun Liu Zhenren's Quotations New Collection" written by the ancestor Chengkangzi. Zhi Ran is aware of this scripture.

What?"

Zhao Ran said: "This is a supplement to Changchun's sayings written by Patriarch Shao. I feel ashamed that I have never read it."

Zhao Yunyi smiled: "I can't say I'm ashamed. Except for some fellow Taoists in Yunnan, not only have you not read it, but most of our Taoists have not read it, and neither have I. Changchun Master advocates dual cultivation of happiness and wisdom.

That’s why Patriarch Cheng Kangzi asked, when should we cultivate blessings? When should we cultivate wisdom? Master Changchun replied: Cultivation is like refining elixir. There are distinctions between host and guest, which vary with the times and follow the trend. For example, in troubled times, the main purpose is to cultivate blessings, and the main task is to cultivate blessings.

I enter the world to benefit the world, and when I govern the world, I focus on cultivating wisdom and cultivating the roots of wisdom. Ignore worldly affairs in palaces and pavilions, and do not go into the jungles of the ten directions. Over the past hundred years, I don’t know when this saying has been spread, and it has gradually become a part of my Taoism.

A default rule."

"I see... Since there is no explicit edict, why do we need to talk about this matter again?"

"Because of your appearance, many colleagues are worried. When someone wanted to pick up this rule, they found that the origin and position of the rule itself were untenable. Just in case, I proposed this

Make it clear in writing.”

Zhao Ran calmed down and said: "But as the abbot, I have never acted recklessly, nor have I relied on my cultivation to force others to do anything. I have always acted in accordance with the rules of the Shifang Jungle."

"In the past, no monks directly served as Taoist priests in our Shifang Forest. This rule was mainly to prevent various pavilions and pavilions from arbitrarily dictating the Shifang Forest. Now there is a monk who serves as the abbot of the county hospital, which makes many comrades feel uneasy.

.Maybe you won’t act recklessly, but what about other monks? Of course, that doesn’t mean that other monks will act recklessly, but preaching has its own laws, and those who don’t understand the inside story often make wrong decisions and can easily cause trouble.”

Zhao Ran couldn't refute this explanation. Apart from himself, could he ensure that other monks would not mess around? Even himself, he would not hesitate to use spells when needed, but he was more restrained when using them.

.

"If there are really monks who mess around, they will be restrained by their own pavilion."

"That's what you think. The secular people in Shifang Jungle don't dare to think that way."

"Other than Master Fu Fang and Pan Dianzao, who else approves of this book?"

"The person who drafted this book is Jing Zhimo. As for those who agree... Judging from the feedback from colleagues in the past few days, the eight deacons unanimously agree. However, the three principals of the living room, the residence hall, and the scripture hall are not in Lushan.

, haven’t made a statement yet.”

Zhao Ran suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Where are the three capitals? Where are Zhang Tianshi and Shen Zhenren?"

"Among the three capitals, Lao Guo agrees. Lao Sheng has not said anything yet. As for me, to be honest with Zhiran, I also agree. In two days, the three capitals will be submitted for discussion. Currently, Zhang Tianshi and Shen Zhenren are both here.

In the capital city, the guests of the living room are known to the guests, the residence hall is patrolled, and Gu Gaogong of the sutra hall is also accompanying the two of them. Tomorrow, an urgent message will be sent to the capital to listen to the opinions of the five of them."

"I dare not ask the general manager. The five of them are not in Jian Jiguan. How can the meeting of the three capitals be held?"

"The three capitals are here in Lushan. If Zhang Tianshi and Shen Zhenren reply and agree, we can discuss matters as usual - all we need is to obtain the handwritten opinions of the five people in the capital!"
