Chapter 37 The dawn of ultimatum

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the first snow of this winter fell on Wuji Mountain, Zhao Ran had been reading Taoist books in the library for more than two months. In addition to the "Tao De Zhen" and "Laozi Xiang Er Zhu", he also read many other books.  With his annotations and comments, he has initially assumed the role of a Taoist practitioner to study classics.

    In addition to the original text and commentaries on the "Tao De Zhen", Zhao Ran also picked up another important classic - "Laozi's Journey to the West".  This classic is a further elucidation of the old man's quotations by Wen Shizhen, and the content focuses on the development of heaven's principles.

    "Xisheng Jing" says that all things in the world are born from existence, and existence is born from nothingness. This is an explanation of the origin of all things in the world.  Zhao Ran compared it with the knowledge of the life before he traveled. If "you" is replaced by "singularity", then this explanation is completely consistent with modern science.

    That evening, Zhao Ran was studying the relationship between the trinity of "zong", "origin" and "body" of the way of heaven in the "Xisheng Jing".  According to the purpose of the "Tao Te Ching", the "Xisheng Jing" believes that nothingness is the origin, nature is the foundation, and the way of heaven is the body. Nothingness gives birth to nature, and nature gives birth to the way of heaven. In other words, the empty universe is suddenly born from nothingness. This  The world exists, and with the existence of all things in the world, the rules of heaven come into being.

    Zhao Ran then wondered whether it was the way of heaven that gave birth to all things, or did all things give birth to the way of heaven?  In other words, is this "one" nothingness?  Or is it the way of heaven?  If the way of heaven itself is nothingness, then the way of heaven should not have rules, because if there are rules, it will not be nothingness But without rules, how can nothingness come into being from nothing?

    While he was thinking hard, the sound of "crunching" footsteps on the slush came from outside the library.

    Zhao Ran stood up and pushed open the window lattice, and a cold but extremely fresh air came in, making him feel refreshed.  Looking out the window, I saw Yu Zhiyuan striding towards him in the pure white snow under the moonlight.

    Zhao Ran quickly opened the door and welcomed him out, taking Yu Zhiyuan into the library.

    Yu Zhiyuan took off his fox fur cloak and hung it on the hanger. He shook off the slush on his shoes. He put his hands together and took a breath of hot air. He said to Zhao Ran: "I haven't been looking for you these days because I'm afraid it will delay your homework.  , I just never thought that I would work so hard and still study hard in such a snowy day."

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "I was so fascinated by the book that I made fun of the doorman. The only bad thing about this library is that you are not allowed to take the books back, so you have to sit next to the door in this cold weather."  I came here with my head in the snow, but what¡¯s the emergency?¡±

    Yu Zhiyuan did not hide anything, and directly stated his purpose: "Today, Dian Zaofang received the document from Xizhenwu Palace. Before the first day of next year, Wujiyuan can accept two Taoist boys to receive the ultimatum."

    Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly pounded violently, his mouth and tongue felt a little dry, and he asked urgently: "Is it settled? Who are they?"

    Yu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Prison Court and the 'Three Capitals' have not discussed it yet, so it has not been decided yet. But don't be too happy too early. Although the Court can accommodate two people, one of them has been decided, and he is the Western Zhenwu."  It is said that the person appointed by the palace has the talent to practice Taoism and will go to the pavilion to practice in the future, so you can only fight for another quota."

    Zhao Ran took a deep breath, walked around the room a few times, calmed down his anxiety a little, and asked Yu Zhiyuan: "Yu Mentou, what should I do?"

    Yu Zhiyuan said: "It stands to reason that the eight deacons must recommend candidates from among the Huo Gong laymen under their jurisdiction, and then the supervisors and the three capitals will conduct assessments to determine the final candidates. Given how much Song Xunzhao values ??you, the squatters recommend you."  It must be very promising, but you should not be careless. Among the dormitories, Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze have the richest family backgrounds. Although Song Xunzhao is interested in you, he should not go too far if the prison hospital and 'Sandu' speak.  Disobedience"

    Zhao Ran nodded and said, "I will find a way."

    Yu Zhiyuan continued: "This is the bestthe remaining seven rooms and scripture halls will not participate in the election. Deacon Jia from the living room here has gone to Baima Mountain. I can suppress it and not recommend it. There has been no recommendation in the accounting room in the past two years."  Suitable candidates will probably not be recommended. In this case, there will be five people including you, and you must stand out among these five people."

    Choosing one out of five, this ratio should be said to be very difficult. With Zhao Ran's family background, he is at the bottom. If he were to compete with his father, he would not be able to compete with him anyway, so what should he do?

    There is only more than a month left before the New Year's Day next year. Time is tight. If you want to hug someone's lap in a short time, it is obviously too late.

    Zhao Ran thought of Yu Mo. This girl was practicing in Huayun Pavilion. She wondered if she could help him?  But this idea just came to his mind, and he gave it up without hesitation - if you rely on women to help you get promoted, doesn't that mean you're just a freeloader?  Zhao Ran's pride couldn't accept it no matter what.  If he really had to take this step, regardless of whether Yumo could help himIf this happens, no matter what the outcome is, at least the "friendship" between the two will completely change. Zhao Ran is even worried that Yumo will despise him?  Disdain him?  Despise him?

    With Yu Mo¡¯s thoughts, Zhao Ran remembered Zhou Fu Zun again, and wondered if Zhou Fu Zun was willing to stand up for him?

    As soon as Zhao Ran mentioned this topic, he was interrupted by Yu Zhiyuan: "Brother, it's better not to have extravagant hopes. Zhou Fuzun was promoted to Sichuan Chief Envoy and Right Councilor just a month ago. Feng Hong, the former government comrade, made great efforts. He  I will never argue with Feng Tongzhi over your matter. The house number will definitely recommend Feng Can this year, who is Feng Hong¡¯s nephew and the person most likely to receive the ultimatum among the houses."

    The relationship between a nephew who is the same official in the same government is more difficult than Zhang Ze's.  Although Zhang Ze's backstage is the Minister of Criminal Affairs, Zhang Ze and Zhang Shilang are not close by blood. They are almost outside the third server. Zhang Zelang is far away in the capital, so the care is definitely not that high. He doesn't even have time to send letters of recommendation.  But Feng Can is different. He is Feng Tongzhi's nephew!

    Zhao Ran suddenly felt that it was difficult, but he knew that even if it was difficult, there was nothing he could do. At present, he could only pass Song Xunzhao's recommendation first.

    Before Yu Zhiyuan left, he handed Zhao Ran a small note: "Last time you asked me to inquire about the location of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the matter was extremely difficult to handle. So far, no trace has been found. Only the hometown of the Great Refiner has been found.  . However, if you expect to be able to become a great refiner, the chances are very slim. At most, you will be a dead horse and a living horse doctor, which is better than nothing. What I can help you here is to talk to Du Guan about it, and hope that he will  Take good care of you."

    Zhao Ran took out a five hundred tael of silver notes from his arms and stuffed it into Yu Zhiyuan's hand: "Yu Mentou, please help me with a few things. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I'm very grateful."

    Yu Zhiyuan's face changed color: "What are you talking about? Why are you and I talking about money when we are friends? Take it back quickly, otherwise we will not have any contact with you from now on!"

    Zhao Ran said sincerely: "Don't get me wrong, this is not for you. You and Du Guan are begging for mercy. They are talking in vain. After all, the weight is not heavy. I heard that Du Guan has a bad body and bones. It's okay to exchange some money for some good medicine."  Isn¡¯t it my wish?¡±

    Yu Zhiyuan naturally understood this truth. He originally planned to add some money from his own family to intercede for Zhao Ran, but although he was rich, he could not just spend a large amount of money to open doors for others. After all, Zhao Ran  He is not a relative, let alone his father. Giving out one or two hundred taels of silver is already the end of his kindness.  If you have these five hundred taels in hand, you should be very confident, right?

    After thinking about it, Yu Zhiyuan's expression changed, he took the banknote, suddenly paused and asked: "Where did you get this banknote?" He knew Zhao Ran's family background best, and five hundred taels of silver was not a small amount.

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mentou, he will come from a legitimate source and will not steal or rob."

    Yu Zhiyuan became suspicious and suspected that Zhao Ran was involved in the gambling drama in the hospital. Otherwise, how could he have accumulated such a fortune in less than a year?  You know, Zhao Ran first worked as a house cleaner for more than four months. It was an unpopular job among the laymen of fire work. There was absolutely no profit in it. After that, although he entered the dining room, it has only been three months. How could it be possible?  Toss out five hundred taels of silver out of thin air?  Therefore, before he left, he gave some good advice, telling Zhao Ran to "cherish life and stay away from gambling."

    Zhao Ran verbally agreed repeatedly, and finally fooled Yu Zhiyuan into leaving. He could no longer read and returned to his residence through the white snow in the courtyard.
