Chapter 169 Meeting Zhang Yunzhao for the first time

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhang Yunzhao of the Supervisory Academy is the only Taoist priest of the "Yun" generation in the West Zhenwu Palace of Long'an Prefecture. He is the uncle of the Taoist priests of the "Teng" generation who hold real power in the Taoist palace, and the great-uncle of the Taoist priests of the "Zhi" generation.  With such a seniority, he is extremely secure in his position as prisoner. Not only is he secure, but he is also unequivocal.

    Zhang Yunzhao was born in Xinning County, Kuizhou. His family was a wealthy local, but he was not powerful. When he first entered Ziyang Yuan in Xinning County, he was ordinary and nothing surprising.  If it weren't for the Battle of Yashanguan, perhaps he would be just an ordinary Taoist priest in Ziyang Academy today, not even as good as the current Zhao Ran, let alone sit on the yellow pear wood Taishi chair and look at it with a kind of scrutiny.  He looked at Zhao Ran with his eyes.

    Thirty years ago, Taoism fought a battle with Buddhism at Yashanguan in Kuizhou. The Taoism Zhengyi Sect and the Quanzhen Sect joined forces and dispatched more than ten top monks to set up an ambush and captured Lu Xiseng, the Tubo master, a Buddhist monk.  The living Buddha who had attained the realm of six consciousnesses was dusted off, and he accomplished a great feat that the Taoist sect had never had in a hundred years.

    Zhang Yunzhao, who was less than 30 years old at the time, and his fellow apprentices took extraordinary risks and abducted Princess Zhong Xiangli, the jewel in the Tubo Zanpu Chida Gongjia, to Yashanguan. This was the direct inducement for Monk Lu Xi to leave the country alone.  For this reason, the disciples of the "Yun" generation in Ziyangyuan were awarded super promotions by the Taoist Lushan General View. Zhang Yunzhao was one of them. Several of his brothers are now in high positions and control almost the entire Sichuan Province.  Li Yunhe, the supervisor of Xuanyuan Temple in Sichuan Province, is Zhang Yunzhao's senior brother.

    Zhang Yunzhao has a thin face and an upright person. Since opening up the path to promotion, he has shown a very responsible side and is never timid in doing things, which is highly appreciated by the senior officials of Xuanyuan Guan at that time.  He has successively served as the principal, inspector, and supervisor of the Ziyang Court in Xinning County, the dian builder and high meritorious official of Shangxiao Palace in Kuizhou, and the senior director of the Xizhenwu Palace in Long'an Prefecture. He ascended the throne of the supervisor of the Xizhenwu Palace twelve years ago.

    Facing such a powerful person, the time traveler Zhao Ran also felt a lot of pressure. He stood solemnly in the hall with his head lowered. When Zhang Yunzhao asked a question, he answered, not daring to go overboard.

    "I heard that when Abbot Du went to Wuji Yuan last year, he strongly encouraged a man named Dong to take over the post of Supervisory Yuan. He asked in court, 'Who has any objections?' No one in the hall dared to answer. It was you who said, 'I have objections.'  Is it?"

    "When I reported back to the prison, it was Xiaodao who was young and ignorant and had hurt Abbot Du's face. When I think about it now, I still can't help but feel ashamed."

    "Haha, don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. You were just a chanting Taoist boy at the time, right? How could you have the guts to refute me, the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, in public?"

    "Reporting to the Supervisory Court, according to the rules of the Taoist sect, how can one arbitrarily appoint the head of one hospital without being recommended by the three capitals? How can one be appointed to the post of the Supervisory Court without having the qualifications of high merit, patrol inspection, and knowledge of guests? I have no accusations.  Abbot Du abused his personal will because rules are rules. The transfer of important responsibilities in the Taoist sect is such a big deal. How can we not follow the rules and make use of them? Xiaodao really couldn't understand, so he couldn't help but ask. At that time, maybe  It is indeed not my intention to embarrass Abbot Du, and I hope that the Prison Court will forgive me."

    Zhang Yunzhao nodded with a smile and said to Jiang Gaogong: "Zhao Zhiran is right, the rules are the rules, how can they be changed at will? Although Abbot Du thought it inappropriate at the time, our Taoist sect is full of talents and there are always people who can speak out, so Abbot Du will not make more mistakes.  Wrong, this is a blessing for Sichuan Province."

    Jiang Gaogong smiled and said: "The prison is right. Zhao Zhiran was just a young Taoist chanter at that time. He had only been reading the scriptures for more than a year, so he could understand this great meaning. It is a symbol of the prosperity of our Taoist sect and a blessing to the West Zhenwu Palace.  It¡¯s all thanks to Zhang Jianyuan¡¯s ability to control Long¡¯an Mansion, so Zhao Zhiran¡¯s move was possible.¡±

    Zhang Yunzhao pointed at Jiang Gaogong and shook his head with a smile: "You, Zhao Zhiran can distinguish right from wrong, which shows that you taught well in Wuji Academy at that time, what does it have to do with me." Then he turned to Zhao Ran and asked: "You are now the master of the party, right?  You are really young and have great potential, and your future will be limitless. If you work hard, such a talent will naturally not be buried."

    This sentence already has the meaning of vigorous cultivation. Of course, everything depends on whether Zhao Ran can meet Zhang Supervisor's requirements of "doing well". If Zhao Ran fails to "do well", he will naturally not be able to cultivate.  , no wonder Zhang Yunzhao got up.

    Zhao Ran didn't expect that his act of forcing himself to stand out under the huge pressure from Abbot Du last year would have an impact to this day. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Sure enough, it was the result of the day and the result of the day. If he had known this, he would have gone to find some Jingdu Guan.  ?  Wouldn't it be better to register directly and ask for a meeting with Zhang Jianyuan?

    After chatting casually for a while, Zhao Ran saw that Zhang Yunzhao seemed to be in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to explain his purpose of visiting.  When meeting with a Taoist high-level official like Zhang Yunzhao, he would not be allowed to elaborate in detail, so he only mentioned a few important points. One was to express his intolerance for the poor farmers who had lost their land, and the other was to explain his intention to get involved in the lending of young crops.  We will do our best to help farmers. Third, both Wujiyuan and Guyang County Government have agreed. Now we only need an official document from Xi Zhenwu Palace.?I hope Zhang Yunzhao can open the door for himself and accomplish this.

    After speaking, Zhang Yunzhao did not express his position, his face was calm, and there was no trace of happiness or anger. Jiang Gaogong frowned slightly, looking at Zhao Ran with a bit of worry.

    After a long time, Zhang Yunzhao finally spoke and said: "It's getting late today, Zhao Zhiran, please go down. Well, when did you arrive? Have you settled down? Where to stay?"

    Zhao Ran replied: "Reporting to the prison, Xiaodao came yesterday and stayed at the Wangfu Inn in the south of the city."

    Zhang Yunzhao nodded, held up the tea cup, and said to Jiang Gaogong: "You send it off and I will send it off to Zhao Zhiran."

    Zhao Ran was sent out of the gate by Jiang Gaogong, and he bumped into Sun Tengmo, the doorman outside the concierge.  Sun Tengmo was startled when he suddenly saw Zhao Ran and Jiang Gaogong coming out together.  Zhao Ran nodded at him with a half-smile, and Sun Tengmo smiled awkwardly. Just when he didn't know what to say, Zhao Ran had already passed him and reached the door.

    Jiang Gaogong asked: "Junior brother Zhao is very popular. He has friends from all over the world and is even acquainted with Sun Mentou?"

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "We just met" Suddenly he pretended to be curious and asked: "By the way, Senior Brother Jiang, what is the customary ceremony for the concierge of Xizhenwu Palace?"

    "Three or five cents less, one or two taels more, what's wrong?"

    "Oh? That was Mentou Sun just now, right? If I have time later, I hope that Senior Brother Jiang can help me. Junior Brother wants to pay a visit to Mentou Sun and apologize to him."

    "Apologise to him? Junior brother, have you offended him? What happened? If it's nothing serious, senior brother, I can explain it to you. I'm sure Sun Mentou will betray my reputation, senior brother."

    "Thank you very much, senior brother, but I don't know exactly where I offended Sun Mentou, so I would like to ask senior brother to ask a question. Otherwise, junior brother, I may not be able to sleep peacefully tonight."

    Jiang Gaogong asked curiously: "What is going on?"

    Zhao Ran said distressedly: "I don't know either. It's just that when I came here before, I gave Sun Mentou a five-liang gift, but it seemed that Sun Mentou was very unhappy. I said I wanted to see my senior brother, but he told me that you are not here."  . Later, I found another layman who was a living room pyrotechnic, so I didn¡¯t travel these 200 miles in vain. I originally thought it was because the door gift was too little, but after listening to you, senior brother, I actually gave a lot.  Therefore, I am even more confused. I would like to ask my senior brother to resolve this issue for me, otherwise it may not be easy for me to visit my senior brother again in the future."

    Zhao Ran left a fifty-tael banknote for Jiang Gaogong, saying that life in Fucheng was not easy and asked him not to wrong him. Zhao Ran said goodbye to the thoughtful Jiang Gaogong and left.  After returning to the inn, he did not dare to leave. Although Zhang Supervisor did not say anything, Zhao Ran knew that this Taoist high-level figure would definitely need time to consider his request.

    Zhao Ran actually came here today only for an official document. He didn't want to complicate the matter, so he didn't explain the matter thoroughly. Especially on the aspect that this move would seriously damage the interests of the wealthy gentry, he was mostly vague. He only hoped that  Zhang Jianyuan, don¡¯t think too deeply.  But judging from Zhang Jianyuan's performance at the last moment, maybe people have seen some clues.

    As for whether Zhang Supervisor will support him, turn a blind eye, or even strongly oppose it, Zhao Ran is not sure at all.  In any case, he knew that Zhang Jianyuan would definitely arrange to meet again after he had matured his thinking, otherwise he would not have asked where he lived.

    Sure enough, early the next morning, someone came to the inn looking for Zhao Zhiran. This person happened to be the pyrotechnical layman who was in the living room yesterday. He respectfully said to Zhao Ran: "I have seen Master Zhao. It was Jiang Gaogong who asked me to come. He said he was here to invite you."  The Lord of the Fang entered the West Zhenwu Palace for a brief explanation."
