    The "Three Capital Discussions" of the West Zhenwu Palace in the main hall of the Long'an Prefecture Magistrate's Yamen had a strange atmosphere from beginning to end, making Jing Zhimo unable to figure it out.

    First, the supervisor Zhang Yunzhao invited Abbot Du Tenghui to participate in the discussion. Although it did not violate the rules of the Taoist sect, it was not in line with the practice of Xizhenwu Palace.

    Secondly, the list of candidates for Wujiyuan proposed by Zhong Xunzhao was approved by him, the chef, and the governor. In fact, it had been negotiated and approved by everyone in advance, but it was not adopted in the "Three Capital Discussions"  , because Zhang Yunzhao, the prison supervisor, did not nod.  The reason why Zhang Yunzhao didn't nod was because Abbot Du Tenghui raised objections.

    In the end, Zhang Yunzhao actually suggested that since the abbot and Sandu disagreed, he should simply ask the abbot to go to Wujiyuan to investigate and seek the opinions and suggestions of the Taoist priests in Wujiyuan on this matter.

    Such an unconventional "Three Capital Discussions" was the first time since Jing Zhimo took office as the governor of the capital. Therefore, Jing Zhimo asked to see Zhang Yunzhao again with many doubts.

    Before he could sit down in the Prison Court, Jing Zhimo said anxiously: "Prison Court, we are discussing something today. I wonder why this is happening?"

    Zhang Yunzhao leaned on the back of the chair and said with a smile: "Do you think it's inappropriate?"

    "It's extremely inappropriate! The 'Three Capitals' meeting' is used to determine the grand plan. The abbot cannot interfere rashly. This is the rule of the Taoist sect. Today's discussion, the three capitals have approved all the posts in Wujiyuan, and it is inappropriate for Abbot Du to block it.  Why does the Prison Yuan condone this? Even asking him to go to Wuji Yuan for verification? Prison Yuan, this case cannot be allowed!"

    Zhang Yunzhao smiled and said: "Master Nephew Du has just arrived in Sichuan, and some things are not clear. Let him go down and have a look, which can increase his understanding of the following. This is a good thing."

    "But what if he relies on the name of the abbot to put pressure on Wujiyuan, causing things to change?"

    "We have to trust the comrades below, they will report the true situation to Master Nephew Du."

    As soon as these words came out, Jing Zhimo paused for a moment, and after a while, he murmured: "I'm just worried that the fellows at Wujiyuan won't be able to withstand the abbot's majesty"

    Zhang Yunzhao stared at the scenery and said slowly: "Then it means that the comrades in Wujiyuan have little experience and are not useful enough."

    Jing Zhimo trembled slightly, remained silent for a long time, and said: "I understandbut I heard that the transfer order was approved by Master Chu of the Jade Emperor Pavilion"

    Zhang Yunzhao smiled, waved his hands and said, "This is a false rumor, you don't need to worry."

    Jing Zhimo left the prison, still unable to let go, so he went to find Bai Tengming again.

    Bai Tengming was so old that he had already passed his destiny. After hearing Jing Zhimo's detailed explanation, he couldn't help but smile: "It's just what I expected, so why should my nephew have doubts?"

    Jing Zhimo asked: "Listen to what the Prison Court wants, if the people at Wuji Court cannot withstand Abbot Du's pressure I'm afraid my nephew will be intolerable."

    Bai Tengming asked: "What do you want to do?"

    Jing Zhimo cautiously inquired, "Can you send someone to Wuji Courtyard to keep a close watch?"

    Bai Tengming said solemnly: "No, there is no airtight wall in the world. If the prison found out later, how would you explain it?" Seeing that Jing Zhimo still seemed to be hesitating, Bai Tengming's face became a little more solemn and said: "Nine years ago  , you will be transferred from the capital to our West Zhenwu Palace as the Master of Jing"

    Jing Zhimo stood up respectfully, saluted Bai Tengming and said: "Uncle, since I entered the West Zhenwu Palace, it has been my uncle who has taught me scripture lessons, taken care of my daily life, and taught me the principles of life. Master, I am what I am today.  It all depends on the teachings of my uncle."

    Bai Tengming waved his hand: "You have worked hard on your own. I just mentioned a few words from the side. Your scriptures are excellent enough to teach all Taoist children. I can't even talk about teaching. I know the original scripture hall.  How did the position of Master Jing become vacant?"

    "I heard that he went to the southwest to teach the Li people. Later, he encountered Tubo people harassing the border and unfortunately died."

    Bai Tengming sighed and said: "Nine years ago, the abbot at that time was Li Yunchong. Like Abbot Du today, he was full of ambition and wanted to achieve something. In order to decide whether to build a new Longshan Temple in Xingqingyuan of Jiangyou County, we had to fight with him.  There was a dispute in the Supervisory Court, just like today. Zhang Supervisor asked the abbot to go to Xingqingyuan to inspect it in person. The abbot went. The people in Xingqingyuan were instigated by the abbot and wrote a letter asking for the establishment of a Longshan Temple As a result, there was no Longshan Temple in the end.  Stand up."

    "The prison does not agree?"

    "yes."

    "Why?

    "The supervisor has no opinion on whether the Longshan Temple should be established or not - this is not the key. The key is that the matter was initiated by the abbot."

    "I see that Lord Jing, did he report to Xingqingyuan?"

    "Not bad, Xingqingyuan"After receiving his reminder, the Taoist priests of Heyuan made the wrong choice. They thought that with the abbot in front to protect them from wind and rain, they would not be blamed for any accidents.  Speaking of which, Uncle Zhang had just taken over as the Supervisor of Xizhenwu Palace for three years, and his reputation had not yet appeared, so it was no wonder that Xingqing Palace made such a choice.  Unfortunately, if you make the wrong choice, you will inevitably suffer the consequences of the mistake.  Within one year, all the deacons from Xingqingyuan, from the Supervisory Court to Sandu and the Eight Great Deacons, were transferred to the Xuanwei Division in Western Sichuan. Only the abbot of Xingqingyuan, who was not involved in the matter, remained there, guarding an empty frame.  Zuo Tengfeng also died last year. He was the last one to die By the way, Master Jing, who tipped off the news, was the first to be transferred.  As for Li Yunchong, who was the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace at that time, he resigned seven days before you came. I don't know what he is doing now.  "

    Jing Zhimo took a breath of air, was silent for a long time, and said hesitantly: "I understand but"

    Bai Tengming said: "Uncle Zhang's thoughts are not for you and me to speculate on, but remember, you must not interfere in this matter at will. I know your intentions, are you worried that this matter will involve your good friend?"

    "Made my uncle laugh"

    "If that's the case, just relax. Didn't you transfer Yu Zhiyuan to serve in front of the Baima Mountain Army? Since he is not in the hospital, he has nothing to do with this matter. I will clear this up for you."

    Jing Zhimo finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Bai Tengming's promise, thanked him and stepped out.

    The news that Du Teng, the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, would visit Wujiyuan soon spread to Guyang County. Not only Wujiyuan was shocked, but the officials of He County in Guyang County were also busy.  The purpose of Du Tenghui's visit was to investigate the appointment changes of several senior deacons of Wujiyuan. The matter involved the Taoist sect, but it was related to the overlapping of power in the entire Guyang County. It was definitely the top priority in Guyang County since the beginning of this spring.

    On May 18, Du Tenghui entered Guyang County, and the three capitals of Wujiyuan, the eight deacons and the county officials greeted him ten miles out of town.

    Du Tenghui got off the carriage at the reception pavilion, and was introduced by Zhong Tenghong, the patrol inspector of the Xizhenwu Palace who accompanied him. He bowed to everyone in Guyang County with a bright face and returned the courtesy one by one.  After the greetings were over, the Guyang County officials returned to the county office, while Du Tenghui rushed to Wuji Mountain with the Taoist priests of Wuji Academy.

    Hearing that the abbot of Wujiyuan was bedridden due to illness, Du Teng would be unhappy, but he could not get angry because the old abbot had a strong background and he could not afford to offend him. He just wanted to have a good talk with him.  He was dismissed.

    In the three days after Abbot Du went up the mountain, he kept asking people to talk. Luo Duguan, Yuan Duchu, and Zhu Dujiao were naturally the first people to talk, followed by Song Xunzhao, Jiang Gaogong and other deacons, and soon  , his true purpose becomes apparent.

    In the past three days, if you want to say who is the busiest person in Wujiyuan, apart from Abbot Du, it is undoubtedly Zhao Ran.  Every time Abbot Du finished talking to someone, Zhao Ran would be called over by the person he was talking to to talk again. Therefore, he could be regarded as the person in the entire Wuji courtyard who knew Abbot Du's intention best.

    On this day, Zhao Ran was summoned by Song Xunzhao again. As soon as he entered the dormitory, Zhao Ran saw Song Xunzhao's livid face, and Zhao Ran's heart sank.

    The two sat facing each other for a long time, and Song Xunzhao finally spoke: "Abbot Du will call me over again today He made it clear that this time for the position of abbot of Wujiyuan, he prefers the man named Dong"

    Zhao Ran was shocked. Through conversations with the three capitals and deacons of Wuji Court in the past few days, he already knew that Abbot Du did not approve of the transfer list reported by Wuji Court. He initially guessed that Abbot Du might choose someone else to come to Wuji Court.  Serving as the Supervisor was what later generations called "airborne landing", but I never expected that this candidate would be Director Dong who was in charge of the cell in the hospital. This was really unexpected.

    "Where do you start talking about this? Deacon Dong is in charge of the cell, and I have never heard of any deacon being transferred to the prison!"

    Song Xunzhao snorted and said, "But the Taoist sect has never had a rule that the deacons of the cell are not allowed to be transferred to the prison."

    "Did Abbot Du say this?"

    Song Xunzhao responded in silence, his face full of anger, while Zhao Ran put his hand on his forehead and thought hard.

    There was silence in the dormitory.

    Thank you brother Yangzhigang to enjoy each day.
