Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the flickering candlelight, Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Ran were immersed in secret discussions.

    Zhao Ran said: "I asked Junior Brother Zhao Zhixing before about the number of people attending the meeting. Those who will be present tomorrow to participate in the public recommendation, together with Li Jianyuan and Zhao Duguan, will have a total of 327 votes. We must get 164 votes. I  I have carefully studied the credibility book in the past two days and have a clear understanding of the situation. Among the eighteen state capitals and three local divisions in Sichuan Province, Dufu and Chongqing are the largest. Dufu has 34 votes.  , Yu Prefecture has twenty-nine votes, so this is sixty-three votes. These two prefectures must be won!"

    Song Zhiyuan said: "The Lu Supervisory Academy in the capital should be fine. Tianhe Palace was originally his, but Jing Zhimo snatched it away."

    Zhao Ran said: "I'm afraid he wants to nominate me."

    Song Zhiyuan said: "But this won't happen. It's too late to avoid suspicion at this moment. How could he bump up? It's so ugly! I know him, he can't do such a thing."

    Zhao Ran nodded and asked: "At the Liu Supervisory Academy of Chongqing Mansion, what can senior brother do?"

    Song Zhiyuan said: "I can only give it a try. It's hard to say. Anyway, try your best. Add in the twenty votes from my Baoning Mansion, and this will be eighty-three votes."

    Zhao Ran nodded: "Perhaps we can also add the eighteen votes from Long'an Mansion."

    Song Zhiyuan added: "Qingyang Palace in Kuizhou Prefecture, umhow many votes are there?"

    Zhao Ran said: "There are twenty votes in Kuizhou Prefecture and I have to rely on my senior brother. There are twelve votes in Lizhou. I will find a way."

    Song Zhiyuan thought hard: "There are still thirty-one votes left."

    Zhao Ran had no other solution, so he could only say: "We should believe that Mr. Zhao is in charge, at least the Xuanyuan Guan votes are ours!"

    At the moment, the two of them divided the work between each other and prepared to take separate actions. They only had one night, which was too hasty.

    Song Zhiyuan was a little worried: "Will there be any problems with your selection? Do you want to tell Mr. Zhao in advance?"

    Zhao Ran shook his head: "Both Supervisor Li and Mr. Zhao definitely don't want to knowbut I have thought about it carefully. If I want to be recognized by the general view, this is the most suitable candidate now, and nothing else will work. Otherwise, we will skip the vote."  If it succeeds, the overall situation will not be settled, but it will cause trouble for the Li Supervisor. Unless you are willing to go, senior brother, then we will definitely have to fight hard, but you don¡¯t want to go The Li Supervisor and the  Mr. Zhao is a smart man and they will not object."

    Song Zhiyuan sighed: "I really can't believe that all this hard work is just to fulfill this one."

    After the two separated, Zhao Ran first went outside Jing Zhimo's house and listened to the noise inside. It seemed that Jing Zhimo was reading a book, and the scraping sound of the pages reached his ears very clearly.

    Zhao Ran quietly deployed several defensive talismans to form a magic circle barrier, isolating the sounds and movements inside and outside Jingzhimo House from each other.

    This yard is not big, and they will visit a lot of people tonight. Once the coming and going becomes lively, it is difficult to guarantee that the scenery will not be suspicious.

    After setting up the magic circle barrier, Zhao Ran quietly slipped outside the fourth room next to the east flower bed. Seeing no one around, he gently pushed the door.  The door was not closed, so Zhao Ran walked into the house without any politeness.

    The man who was lying on the bed stood up suddenly. He saw the person coming in confusion, and his face suddenly darkened: "Zhao Zhiran?"

    "Is Abbot Du always okay?" Zhao Ran clasped his fists and nodded.

    Du Tenghui's face turned cold: "You broke in without knocking. What do you mean?"

    Zhao Ran sat down at the table by himself: "If you don't knock on the door, of course you are afraid that others will hear and see you, especially the Jingjingyuan who is across the door. If he sees me coming to you, it will not only be bad for me, but also for Du.  The abbot is equally bad."

    Du Teng said fluently: "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

    Zhao Ran said: "Abbot Du, please calm down. I don't want to make the relationship between us too tense, so I came here to visit the abbot. Why do you have to act like you are rejecting people thousands of miles away? You are still my boss after all."  , I am also your subordinate, and it is understandable that a subordinate should care about his superior."

    Du Tenghui's anger subsided a little, and his face slowly calmed down: "You still know that you are a subordinate of my Xizhenwu Palace? I thought you had forgotten about it long ago after you entered the palace."

    Zhao Ran said with sincerity: "Then how can I forget it? It has always been engraved in my heart and will never be forgotten!"

    Du Teng would look at Zhao Ran suspiciously: "Why do you care about me?"

    Zhao Ran said: "I'm here to care about the future of my old boss!"

    Du Teng would sneer: "Ha, you should take good care of yourself. Do you need to care about my future?"

    Zhao Ran nodded: "Of course something is wrong with me. Abbot Du has been so close to Jingjianyuan in the past two days, so he must know about it?"

      Du Teng would smile and say with a serious attitude: "We have had dissatisfaction between us before, but it has been so many years and I don't want to care about it anymore. You are a junior, so I call you unanimous  Yes, how are you?"

    Zhao Ran nodded: "Of course."

    "Zhiran, now that we have reached this point, in my capacity, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, but I think that actually you still have a way out. You are a monk of Huayun Pavilion. As long as you resign your Taoist position, you can return to  It¡¯s easy to practice cultivation in the mountains, and no one can make you angry, don¡¯t you think? Why do you have to stir up this muddy water?¡±

    "Is Abbot Du telling the truth?"

    "Of course, what happened back then is just a trivial matter in my opinion. To be honest, I don't have to fight with you, a monk with a great future, don't you think? If you don't believe me, you can ask Xu Tenglong, or even  Dong Zhikun, the supervisor of your Wujiyuan, I said this in front of them."

    "I see, then I have to thank Abbot Du."

    "What I think is that you are a real monk who came out of the Shifang Jungle of Long'an Mansion. After all, we are still a family. If we have any difficulties in the future, you and I can take care of each other. Of course, the premise is  You don¡¯t want to go to the dark side again. As long as you say goodbye and go back to the mountain, I will go and tell him over there at Jingjianyuan. Isn¡¯t it beautiful that you two have turned their hostility into friendship?¡±

    Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Thank you, Abbot Du, for your kindness, but I still want to work harder, but I really can't say anymore. I came here today to ask the abbot, do you find it interesting that you have been sitting in the abbot's position for five years?"

    Du Teng was a little unhappy and said, "Are you interested? What do you say? Besides, you are going to Songfan soon, right? Do you need to worry about my affairs?"

    "Oh, Abbot Du, I speak frankly, but don't take it personally. Why don't we sit down and talk calmly? Come on, don't sit on the edge of the bed. It's uncomfortable to sit on it. Sit opposite me." With that, Zhao Ran moved the chair  He moved next to Du Tenghui, stretched out his sleeves and dusted his hands: "Abbott, come on, sit down!"

    Seeing Zhao Ran's calm demeanor, Du Teng became more suspicious, got out of bed and sat across from Zhao Ran.

    ?????????????????????????????? In the ten directions jungle of the Taoist sect in this world, the abbot is on the same level as the supervisor, but has a slightly higher status. When major matters are undecided, the abbot makes the final decision.

    But as long as there is no huge difference in status and prestige - such as the situation between Shi Yuncheng, the old abbot of Wujiyuan, and Zhong Tenghong, the supervisory institute, generally speaking, the supervisory institute will firmly hold power in its own hands, and the three capitals will  There will be no "undecided matters" during discussions, and the abbot will be sidelined because of this - such as the Xizhenwu Palace back then.

    Therefore, the position of abbot is quite embarrassing. In most places, the abbot has become a decoration. There are even long-term shortages of abbots in some palaces.  Du Tenghui is a little better. Xu Tenglong, the supervisor of Xizhenwu Palace, has an old relationship with him and is more convinced by him. He discusses all major matters with him, but after all, he can't directly intervene in specific affairs, so he still feels a lot worse.

    That¡¯s why Zhao Ran asked him, is it interesting to be an abbot?

    For Du Tenghui, who is just in his fifties, being an abbot is of course not as interesting as the prison. If he is in his sixties, he may have resigned himself to his fate, but being an abbot in his fifties, although his status is respected, for him  But it's a little embarrassing.

    He is a person who likes to seize power, otherwise he would not have had such a big conflict with Zhang Yunzhao, and he would not have rushed to Wujiyuan to support Dong Zhikun, who was not on the stage, so that he was disgraced and unable to get off the stage.

    Zhao Ran¡¯s question went straight to the deepest part of Du Tenghui¡¯s heart, making him want to listen.

    "What do you want to say? Who asked you to come? Is it Song Zhiyuan?"

    Zhao Ran said: "Abbot Du, who asked me to come? It doesn't matter. I only represent myself and have nothing to do with others. I just want to ask Abbot Du, do you want to be the supervisor of Songfan Tianhe Palace?"

    Du Tenghui's heart jumped when he saw Zhao Ran looking at him with a smile. Even though he knew that the other party was trying to show off, he still couldn't help but urge: "Hasn't it been decided by the superiors that Jingzhimo will go to Songfan? What do you want to say? Tell me quickly.  clear!"
