Abbot Du Tenghui of Xizhenwu Palace came with great force, which made Zhao Ran feel great pressure. He was the first to blow up the big bubble of Wujiyuan, and this bubble almost included the most powerful group of people in the entire Taoist temple.
Their interests are closely related to this transfer of duties. If the bubble bursts, Zhao Ran cannot imagine what he will face next.
After learning the true purpose of Du Tenghui from Song Xunzhao, he couldn't help but panic for a moment. Facing Song Xunzhao's doubtful eyes, he was speechless for a moment. He turned around and left Song Xunzhao.
It was definitely not possible to leave in front of Zhao, he had to give an account, not only to Song Xunzhao, but also to the entire Wuji Academy.
After the temporary panic and loss of concentration, he forced himself to calm down, or in other words, he calmed down by hypnotizing himself by constantly chanting "calm down" silently. While asking Song Xunzhao about the details of the conversation between Abbot Du and him, he quickly thought about how to deal with it.
.
The questions asked include why Du Teng would like Director Dong of the house, whether a compromise has been reached between him and the abbot of Wujiyuan, and the three capitals, what is his origin and background, and whether his will represents the will of Xizhenwu Palace...
…Some questions Song Xunzhao could answer clearly, some questions he answered very vaguely, and some questions Song Xunzhao didn’t understand at all. But between asking and answering, Zhao Ran’s thinking gradually opened up, and his logical judgment gradually became clear.
When he got up, Song Xunzhao, who was answering the question, also slowly came to his senses - in fact, he should have understood it a long time ago, but it was just confusion if he cared about it.
First of all, Abbot Du's will does not represent the will of Xizhenwu Palace, because he came to inspect the Taoist temple and seek opinions. Otherwise, he could just come directly and announce the appointment order.
Secondly, Du Tenghui's identity is the abbot, not the supervisory court. As the abbot, he directly interferes with the changes in the Taoist temple's duties. This unconventional move itself illustrates many problems and is thought-provoking.
Finally, Zhong Tenghong, the former superintendent of Wujiyuan who came with him, remained silent throughout this process, which is also worth recalling.
Based on this, Zhao Ran and Song Zhiyuan both figured out one thing at the same time. The use of the house director and deacon as the supervisor was just the wishful thinking of the Du Tenghui. It was probably not the intention of the Xizhenwu Palace, or at least in the Xizhenwu Palace, it was not the intention of the Xizhenwu Palace.
The idea of Du Teng Hui is controversial - otherwise Du Teng Hui wouldn't have to come forward in person.
Zhao Ran boldly guessed that perhaps one of the people who disagreed with the Du Teng Hui was Zhang Yunzhao, the supervisor of the West Zhenwu Palace, or at least one or two people in the three capitals did not agree with the Du Teng Hui's opinions.
Song Zhiyuan had doubts about this. He believed that if the three capital meetings of Xizhenwu Palace did not recognize the Du Teng Society, according to the rules of the Taoist sect, the opinions of the Du Teng Society would be discarded. However, the Du Teng Society has now arrived with great fanfare.
Wujiyuan, how to explain this?
Zhao Ran couldn't explain this. His suggestion was that Song Zhiyuan go to see the old abbot of Wujiyuan who was "recuperating due to illness" to see if the old abbot had any good suggestions. However, Song Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and said that the old abbot left a few days ago.
Wujishan came to Wuji Mountain and said he was going to seek medical treatment. Zhao Ran was speechless about this.
Zhao Ran also suggested that Song Zhiyuan, Jiang Zhibiao and others should send a letter to Xizhenwu Palace in a private name to see if they could get any information from inside Xizhenwu Palace. However, Song Zhiyuan also smiled bitterly and said that he had sent the letter to inquire about it a long time ago, but so far,
No reply.
Just when Zhao Ran was being caught blind, Song Zhiyuan suddenly asked Zhao Ran again whether the Great Refiner of Chuyang City in Jade Emperor Pavilion had helped and whether he could be trusted. Zhao Ran immediately patted his chest and said that the Great Refiner of Chu Yang City would definitely help.
Willing to help and very reliable.
After re-inspiring Song Zhiyuan's confidence, Zhao Ran got busy again. He met with the great master Jiang Zhibiao, the editor Zhang Zhihuan, Liu Jingzhu and Chen Jingzhu of the Sutra Hall. He encouraged them and asked everyone to unite and resist the Du Teng Hui.
Don't be disintegrated by the pressure.
Among them, the negotiation process with Gao Gong Jiang Zhibiao was more difficult, because Du Tenghui had promised to help Jiang Zhibiao obtain the position of Gao Gong in the West Zhenwu Palace in exchange for Jiang Zhibiao agreeing to be promoted to the director and deacon of the house to the supervisor of Wujiyuan - the key is that Jiang Zhibiao was in
Backstage at Xizhenwu Palace, everyone spoke of Bai Tengming’s support.
In this regard, Zhao Ran keenly saw Jiang Zhibiao's hesitation. He tried his best to persuade Jiang Zhibiao not to waver. He not only pointed out Du Tenghui's embarrassing status as the abbot, but even used the banner of the Great Master of Chu.
In the end, Jiang Zhibiao made a promise not to take a position on this issue.
At the same time, Housekeeper Dong also began to run around actively and actively campaigned for his own transfer. Compared with Song Xunzhao's deep connections in Wuji Academy, Director Dong undoubtedly had a huge disadvantage, and
In the Taoist sect, his promotion is somewhat "unjustified". But Deacon Dong also has his own advantages. He has a very rich net worth and spends a lot of money, which has also attracted a lot of support for himself.
However, they are not very influential figures.
It has been seven days since Du Tenghui arrived at Wujiyuan, making the sky in Wujiyuan extremely turbid. To say it had any effect, by virtue of his prominent status as the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, he really shocked a group of people, including two of the three capitals.
Three of the eight deacons, as well as some Taoist priests in the management class, have changed their attitudes. A few people have clearly expressed their support and support for his opinions. However, it is not clear how effective the effect is.
Even if many people have changed, their attitudes are still very different, and they are obviously still wavering. The key is that these wavering people are all high-level officials of Wujiyuan.
This situation is very troublesome. If Du Teng cannot convince the majority of people in the Taoist temple to support Deacon Dong, then his trip will have no results. This will undoubtedly be a huge blow to his prestige.
The future of Xizhenwu Palace will not be optimistic.
After many days of planning, Du Teng decided that he could no longer sit around and wait. He would use his most powerful weapon, his identity as abbot, to forcibly promote the progress of the situation. To put it simply, it was to convene a grand meeting of the Taoist priests of the Wuji Academy.
All Taoist priests will participate in the conference to discuss the proposal put forward by Du Tenghui - to transfer the director and deacon of the house to the supervising hospital of Wujiyuan.
Du Tenghui used a trick here. What he convened was not the "Three Capitals Meeting" or the "Eight Deacons Meeting", but a major meeting in which all Taoist priests participated.
Du Teng will understand very well that this weapon is actually a double-edged sword that can hurt others and himself at the same time. Interfering in the daily affairs of the Taoist temple as the abbot is not in line with the Taoist rules and is easy to be criticized and refuted. Once
Everyone in Wujiyuan questioned this, and it was very likely that he would not be able to leave the stage on the spot.
But the problem is that a Taoist temple is at the lowest level in the three-level secular system of Taoism. If the Sandu and Eight Deacons still dare to hum and shirk their responsibilities in front of them, these low-level Taoist priests
, who dares to contradict and question himself in person? In such a big discussion in which all the Taoist priests of the academy participate, his glory as the abbot will be infinitely magnified, and the right to speak of those high-ranking Taoist priests will be relatively reduced. As long as there are only a few
The Taoist priests at the bottom stand up and shout for themselves. With themselves at the top holding the battle, then naturally only one voice will appear during the discussion, and that is the voice that supports them.
Du Teng will believe that those who support him in public will dare to stand up - the house director and deacon has already guaranteed this, but whether those who oppose him will dare to stand up, he has deep doubts about this - even
The interested party Song Zhiyuan did not dare to directly object when talking to him. Do others have the courage?
As long as you convince the Taoist priest of the Heyuan during the big discussion, then the matter will be settled. It is still a small matter to be worthy of Deacon Dong's filial piety to you. The key is that you will have an extremely gorgeous beginning in the Taoist sect of Long'an Mansion.
News of the big meeting was quickly reported to the whole hospital. Zhao Ranru was hit in the head with a blow and was dizzy after learning the news. As a time traveler, Zhao Ran was very aware of the power of the "plenary meeting". In such a meeting, the speakers on the podium were very
It is easy to control the right to speak, and all living beings in the audience will become another best interpretation of the "herd mentality".
Unless a bird comes forward! But who dares to be this bird?
Zhao Ran held his head and thought hard for a long time, but he was helpless because even he himself was not willing to be this bird.
