Zhao Ran patiently listened to Song Zhiyuan's explanation: "It's not that I don't want to help you, but this is not the time. You were in the dormitory at that time, under my name. No matter how I guide you or recommend you, it is my responsibility." Inside. Now you have entered the Sutra Hall, and you are a Taoist boy in the Sutra Hall who has received an ultimatum. Not only are you the master of Liu Jingzhu, Chen Jingzhu, but you are also under the name of Jiang Gaogong. If I rashly go to the prison to recommend you, it will be unfair. If it doesn't go smoothly, not only will it be ineffective, it will even make the officials in the Sutra Hall unhappy, and it will delay you."
When Song Zhiyuan said this, Zhao Ran understood. He patted the back of his head and said regretfully: "I was wrong." He secretly thought to himself that he had been in officialdom for so many years before time travel. Why was he confused now? I also thought, how could such a shrewd person as Yu Zhiyuan point him to such a confusing path? It shouldn't be
While he was thinking about it, he heard Song Zhiyuan clasping his fingers and saying: "This is one of them. Second, if we go forward, even if I bite the bullet and go to the Sutra Hall to explain to Jiang Gaogong for you, it is not impossible, but at this moment It's not the time" After a pause, Song Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "You may not have heard that the Zhongyuan is going to be promoted. The position of the Supervisor of Wujiyuan, Xizhenwu Palace has already set the tone, and it is planned to be promoted by the Zhongyuan. Recommend yourself.¡±
Zhao Ran said "ah" and immediately said in surprise: "Congratulations, senior patrol officer!"
???????????????????? If the Zhongyuan is transferred and the vacant position of the Supervisor is self-recommended by the Zhongyuan, then the one who has the best chance of being promoted to the Supervisory Yuan is undoubtedly Song Zhiyuan. According to the usual practice, one of the three major deacons of the Jingtang Hall, the patrol inspector of the dormitories, and the guest hall magistrate is chosen to serve as the supervisor. Compared with Yu Zhiyuan and Jiang Zhibiao, Song Zhiyuan has the most senior qualifications, and he also has a personal relationship with the Zhongjianyuan. Thick, so hope for the best.
Zhao Ran felt very happy and thought to himself, since you have been promoted to the prison, can you still escape my grasp as the head of the door? It turns out that Yu Zhiyuan asked me to find Song Zhiyuan, and that was what he meant!
Unexpectedly, Song Zhiyuan waved his hand and said: "This matter has not yet been decided, so there is no need to congratulate him."
Zhao Ran thought that Song Zhiyuan was being humble, but looking at his expression, he seemed to have a solemn expression, because he asked: "Senior Brother Song, among the deacons in the courtyard, I really can't think of anyone else who is more qualified than you, Senior Brother." Prison Court.¡±
Just listen to Song Zhiyuan sigh: "In summary, Junior Brother Jiang Zhibiao's prestige is not bad, and he is young and powerful, and has always been valued by Xizhenwu Palace The rest are Junior Brother Ruoketang Yu, Junior Brother Dian Zaofang Zhang, etc., and they are the outstanding figures in the academy at that time. If you are more capable than me, it will definitely be my turn. Therefore, you go to Junior Brother Jiang and walk around. It is best for Junior Brother Jiang to come forward and explain. Then I will help you a little or two, and everything will be the same. ¡±
Zhao Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, are you worried about Jiang Gaogong?"
Song Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Don't talk about worrying. I heard that Junior Brother Jiang is also involved in this matter. He has some connections in Xizhenwu Palace. If Xizhenwu Palace chooses Junior Brother Jiang, it will also be Junior Brother Jiang's luck. Anyway, you go to Junior Brother Jiang's place. He is the best, no matter whether he succeeds or not, you can rest assured that I am here."
After talking, Zhao Ran learned a lot of information. It seemed that Jiang Gaogong was a little unwilling and wanted to compete with Song Zhiyuan for the position of the Supervisory Academy. Song Zhiyuan was also a little worried about this. But for Zhao Ran, the power struggle between these upper-level officials was purely a fight between gods. How could he, a little chanting Taoist boy, get in?
But thinking about it carefully, what Song Zhiyuan said is not unreasonable. Anyway, it was Song Zhiyuan who came up with the idea. There should be no harm in asking Jiang Gaogong first. If Song Zhiyuan can get his wish and take up the post of Supervisor, he will not be able to escape his position as the head of the hospital. If Jiang Gaogong can find another If you successfully avoid the wrong path and take the lead, you won¡¯t have the problem of worshiping the wrong temple.
The banknote that was pushed over was pushed back by Song Zhiyuan. Seeing that Song Zhiyuan refused to accept it, Zhao Ran had no choice but to collect it. His affairs came to an end for the time being, and he began to ask about the purpose of his trip.
Song Zhiyuan said: "Speaking of which, this trip is related to you."
"oh?"
"At the end of the year before last, my dormitory recommended you as a Taoist priest, and you lived up to expectations and came out on top. At that time, Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze were also under my consideration Today is the date that Jin Jiu's father met. I didn't want to go down the mountain. , but Jinxian Lieutenant invited the County Lord to accompany him, so I couldn¡¯t refuse anymore, so I went to meet him - your calligraphy is a welcome gift."
Seeing that Zhao Ran was silent, Song Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I heard that you and Jin Jiu have some issues?"
Zhao Ran said: "There's no deep hatred, it's probably a misunderstanding." At that moment, he told Jin Jiu, Zhang Ze, Gou Er and others about their disagreements with him.
Song Zhiyuan nodded and said: "There is no deep hatred. Now that you have entered the Sutra Hall, you will achieve great things in the future. There is no need to worry about it. Senior brother, I will be a peacemaker and resolve these trivial matters between you. What do you think? Come on. , the Kim family is also considered locallyLocal snakes, although Wujiyuan is noble, it is still a jungle in ten directions. Many things cannot be separated from the mortal world. Sooner or later, there will be a day when we bow our heads and meet each other"
When Song Zhiyuan came forward, Zhao Ran agreed. It was not a big deal in the first place. He also gained the upper hand in the open and secret fights at the beginning. Now he has become a serious Taoist priest with a strict ultimatum, and he looks down on those trivial grievances in the past. The so-called adults do not remember the faults of villains, not simply because they are big-hearted and broad-minded, but because they are really too lazy to remember them, because remembering them is meaningless and a waste of time.
While talking, the carriage entered Guyang County, passed through the main street, and stopped at an alley near the north of the city. The Jin family is truly a powerful family in Guyang County. Although the Jin family does not occupy the entire lane, it cuts off at least half of it, making it look impressively wealthy.
Jinxian Lieutenant had received the notice early and took his second son Jinjiu out of the house in person to greet him. Song Zhiyuan brought Zhao Ran to the door obviously on his own initiative. When Jin County Lieutenant saw Zhao, he still didn't know why. Jin Jiu pulled his sleeves and whispered a few words. Then he suddenly understood and greeted Zhao Ran with a smile. .
Zhao Ran returned the salute and looked at Jin Jiu who was standing aside. The man's face was extremely embarrassed and his behavior was very awkward. He smiled in his heart and nodded to Jin Jiu without saying anything else. Jin Jiu could only bow and salute: " I¡¯ve met Song Xunzhao and I¡¯ve met Daochang Zhao.¡±
After passing through the second door, he entered Jinxian Lieutenant's flower hall. There was an old scholar here who had been waiting for a long time. Even Song Xunzhao saw the old scholar and asked respectfully: "I have seen the county master, but I don't know the county official." How are you doing these days?"
This old scholar is none other than Kong County Zun, who is in charge of the pastoral side of Guyang County. From a purely secular perspective, he is the number one person within a hundred miles of Guyang County. From a secular perspective, his position is only lower than that of Zhong Wujiyuan. The Prison Court is slightly inferior, but its power can definitely rival the others.
Zhao Ran met Kong Xianzun for the first time at the Zhaijiao ceremony at the moved residence of Dong Fanglin, the chief registrar of Guyang County. That time Kongxian Zun went to Dong's house as a congratulatory guest to observe the ceremony. The second time was during the Christmas Day Ceremony of Yuanshi Tianzun a few months ago. At that time, Kongxian Zun, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty officials, came to Wujiyuan to participate in the ceremony. At the moment, Zhao Ran, along with Song Zhiyuan, paid homage to Kong County Zun.
County Master Kong returned the gift, smiled and said to Song Zhiyuan: "I haven't seen Taoist Master Song for a long time, but he is still healthy. I am not good anymore. I am getting older day by day. Haha Who is this little Taoist Priest?"
Before Song Zhiyuan could answer, Jinxian Lieutenant stood by and said, "This Taoist priest is Zhao Zhiran, the newly promoted Taoist boy who received the ultimatum in the courtyard last year. He has excellent academic performance and has never been below the first level. His future achievements will be limitless. Taoist priest Zhao is very popular." Song Xunzhao's respect is comparable to that of his confidant."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT out the banquet. As for Zhao Ran, although his identity has changed, he still only has standing room in front of these important figures in the county. As for Jin Jiu, he is not even qualified to enter the flower hall, so he stands at the door of the flower hall, waiting for summons at any time.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of a few words, Song Zhiyuan came to present a gift. Kong County Lord came to accompany him, so there was no need to give him a gift. The gift was given to Jinxian Lieutenant who was treating guests, and the gift was the calligraphy written by Zhao Ran.
Jin County Lieutenant was born as a warrior and was not very literate, but he naturally accepted the gift from Song Zhiyuan with joy, and after unfolding it, he pretended to admire it. On the other hand, Kong Xianzun, who was leaning over from the side, called out the word "good", and asked after a moment: "Mountain guest? Is this the mountain body? I heard that Counselor Zhou had praised it, saying that there was a Taoist priest named in Wuji Courtyard. The name is 'Mountain Guest', the characters are strong and strong, and the pen stand is beautiful. I don't want to see the original work today, it is really good!"
Song Zhiyuan smiled, pulled Zhao Ran who was standing behind him with his hands down, and introduced: "To be honest with you two, 'Mountain Guest' is the nickname of my junior brother Zhao Zhiran. This word was written by him, and it can be recognized by Zhou Zhou's discerning eyes. Count him lucky."
Kong Xianzun squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Ran, and praised: "Zhao Xiaodao is just like his words, he has an immortal spirit." Jinxian Lieutenant smiled and rolled up the words, carefully put them away, and said to Zhao Ran: "Thank you very much, Zhao Ran." Little Taoist Priest, I heard that my Erlang once had a working relationship with the Taoist Priest, and I hope that Taoist Priest Zhao will take care of me in the future."
Zhao Ran smiled and nodded: "I don't dare to take it seriously, I should."
With two words, a bridge was cleared, and both parties were happy.
Thanks to brother yangzhigang for the reward.
