The second thing is the edict drafted by Shifang Jungle.
Zhang Yangming looked at Shen Yunjing and saw that Shen Yunjing was staring at the floor, so he had to step forward and said: "A few days ago, my fellow Taoists from the lower level wrote an article, hoping to issue an edict in the name of the general inspection to clarify the relationship between the monks and the ten monks. Comrade Fang Conglin's er differences in duties" As he spoke, he opened a paper bag next to him, took out a stack of manuscript paper, and handed one to each true master.
The "Edict (Draft) for Monks Not to Enter the Jungles of the Ten Directions" revised by Zhang Yangming is very simple. Five of the original eight reasons have been deleted, leaving only three. That is, monks have no time or energy to deal with secular affairs and monks to take care of things. The secular affairs will make the Taoist heart dusty, and the original system of Shifang Jungle cannot handle the promotion and removal of monks. This is a watered-down edict, worded as euphemistically as possible.
For the lay people in Jianji Temple, this is a great event, which is related to whether the old system of Shifang Jungle can continue. Therefore, everyone works together, unites as one, and prepares it with extraordinary courage. After completing this essay, it was revised by Zhang Yangming in order to submit it in a tactful way acceptable to all the true masters, and it was finally approved.
But for the Taoist monks like the True Master Hall, it is a trivial matter. Therefore, although Zhang Yangming had previously informed all the True Masters with flying talismans, not many of them had really considered this matter carefully.
Yang Zhenren from Qi Fu Pavilion was one of them. She received the flying talisman the day before yesterday. She looked at it casually and didn¡¯t think much about it. She just planned to ask Zhang Yangming with a question: "Zhang Supervisor, what does this edict mean?" Does it mean anything? When monks take care of secular affairs, it will of course affect their own practice. There is no need to issue an edict, and they won¡¯t go to Shifang Jungle to hold Taoist posts, right? Isn¡¯t this unnecessary?¡±
Zhang Yangming said: "Of course the vast majority of monks are dedicated to cultivation, and they will not hold Taoist positions"
As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Master Yang: "Does Zhang Jianyuan mean that there are a few monks holding Taoist positions in Shifang Jungle?"
Zhang Yangming said: "There is indeed such a person. He is Zhao Zhiran, the abbot of Guyang County, Long'an Prefecture, Sichuan. He is also a monk of Huayun Pavilion and a disciple of Master Jiang. He is now in the Huangguan realm."
Yang Zhenren thought for a moment and asked, "The Zhao Zhiran you are talking about seems familiar?"
Xu Yun'ao said, "Does Master Yang still remember the "Bone Setting Sutra" jointly published by Yuhuang Pavilion and Huayun Pavilion in the summer and autumn of the previous year?"
Yang Zhenren suddenly said: "Ah, it turns out to be him." He was very curious and asked: "Why does he want to serve as the abbot in Guyang County?"
Zhang Yangming did some homework before coming, and now he gave a rough outline of Zhao Ran¡¯s resume.
Yang Zhenren said: "So that's the case. It's understandable that this person held a Taoist position in the Shifang Jungle before he was reborn. But why didn't he resign from his Taoist position and concentrate on practicing? Enter cultivation. Huang Guan arrived in five or six years After bone setting, it was obvious that his aptitude and foundation were the best choice Did he fail under Jiang Lianshi's sect? Or is his technique not suitable for the inheritance of Lingjian Pavilion? Jiang Tenghe I also understand that his swordsmanship is superb and among the best among the younger generation. I will ask him later if his disciple is really not suitable for practicing Lingjian Pavilion skills. He can come and try under my sect. He has made great contributions to the Taoist sect, so it would be a pity to delay him"
As soon as she said this, Zhang Yangming was immediately embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment. Instead, Du Tianshi from Leixiao Pavilion on the other end took over the conversation: "I have heard about this Zhao Zhiran. Just now, Supervisor Zhang The hospital said that Zhao Zhiran once served as a temple priest in Junshan, and he must be this one. A junior in my family went to Junshan in Guyang County last year and competed with Zhao Zhiran. He was very unconvinced in his words, but he admitted that it was true. It is indeed a defeat.¡±
Yang Zhenren asked with great interest: "Which one went to Junshan? Xingyan? Xingtao? Or Xingjun"
"It's Xingyan," Du Tianshi said. "You hugged that child back then, haha."
Yang Zhenren said: "It turns out to be Xing Yan. I heard that he has good cultivation and is a leader among his peers. Did he lose the competition?"
Master Du Tian said: "Yes, he said that what Zhao Zhiran is good at is formations, and it is indeed not the swordsmanship of the Lingjian Pavilion. However, he has a very good impression of Junshan and has always said that he would look for an opportunity to visit Junshan again."
The two high-ranking cultivators lost their conversation after talking like this. Zhang Yangming and Shen Yunjing looked at each other speechlessly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
It was Zhang Yunyi who brought the topic back: "Yang Ming, is it because of Zhao Zhiran that you are considering drafting this edict?"
Zhang Yunyi returned to the topic, and Zhang Yangming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He and Zhang Yunyi both came from the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain and were of the same clan. Calculated, his seniority was higher than Zhang Yunyi's, but Zhang Yunyi was the head of Longhu Mountain and the top of the Taoist sect.He is one of the monks, so many matters related to practice must be arranged by Zhang Yunyi.
The same is true for this sparse article. Two days ago, he had a face-to-face conversation with Zhang Yunyi, and told Zhang Yunyi the reason why he had to stand up for the Taoist priests in Xiaguan. Zhang Yunyi understood the wishes of the Taoists, but was not optimistic about the edict.
After much discussion, Zhang Yunyi came up with an idea. When discussing this issue in the Zhenshi Hall, he turned his attention to the specific object of Zhao Ran and focused the conflict on Zhao Zhiran personally, rather than on the group of monks in the pavilion. Try his best to Avoid group resentment among true teachers.
In other words, Zhang Yunyi did not agree with the issuance of this edict, but in order to maintain Zhang Yangming's status, or to be more straightforward, to maintain the status of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain in the Shifang Jungle, he was not opposed to taking certain measures to restrict Zhao However, it partially satisfied the common wish of the Taoists in the jungles of all directions, thereby alleviating the huge pressure Zhang Yangming was under in the lower view.
"Of course, according to Zhang Yunyi's intention, even if it is for Zhao Zhiran personally, success or failure is still a matter of choice, and at the same time, try not to let Zhang Yangming rush to the front.
So Zhang Yangming said: "The text of this edict was jointly submitted by two deacons from Guan Dian Zao Yuan and Fang Tang, and it was unanimously approved by the eight deacons. The original drafter of the edict was the left hall of Dian Zao Yuan. Master Jing Zhimo. In order to explain the detailed reasons to all the true masters, the master of Jing Palace volunteered and rushed from Lushan to the capital, and is now waiting outside Yuanfu Palace."
Yang Zhenren interrupted again: "Is it that child of the Jing family? It's a pity that he has no qualifications. Back then"
Zhang Yunyi was afraid that he would mess up again, so he quickly interrupted: "He is a descendant of the Jing family. Yangming, please call him in for questioning."
Zhang Yangming left the Zichen Palace and went to the gate of Yuanfu Palace, waving to Jing Qingmo who was sitting in the concierge.
Jing Zhimo has been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Zhang Yangming's gesture, he took a deep breath, straightened his clothes and robes, followed Zhang Yangming, entered the gate of Yuanfu Palace, and walked towards Zichen Palace.
Along the way, Zhang Yangming warned: "Zhimo, be careful what you say when you enter the Zichen Palace. I told you yesterday that everyone's wishes on this matter are good, but we can't expect it to happen in one go. It's impossible."
