In August of the twenty-seventh year of the Jiajing reign, Zhang Yangming of the Guanyuan, Jian Ji, who was over seventy years old, submitted a letter of speech to the Zhenshi Hall.
This Zhang family member from the Tianshi Mansion at the foot of Longhu Mountain has been in charge of Shifang Jungle for twenty-three years. Finally, he felt physically weak and could no longer shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Shen Yunjing and Zhang Yangming stood side by side by the Sandie Spring, looking at the waterfall formed by the confluence of the Dayue Mountain and Wulaofeng streams, and were speechless.
After a long time, Zhang Yangming said: "It's been exactly five years, so it can be regarded as fulfilling the contract and quitting."
Shen Yunjing shook his head and sighed: "Even if a monk serves as the abbot, I, the abbot, should be the one to resign. Now you have to go around in a circle and ask me to pick up your prison. What's the matter?"
Zhang Yangming smiled: "You know that is impossible, and all the sects and sects in the world cannot agree to it, so we can only do this. It doesn't matter if I say goodbye, I can finally live a long life. It's just that I have worked hard for you, and I still can't do it." I have to continue to work on it without having any leisure time. The only thing I worry about is that I am afraid that my successor will not have the experience. It would be a waste if he could just sit still and do nothing. If he gives random orders and makes nonsense, even if he is a high-level practitioner, you cannot make that mistake. It¡¯s vague.¡±
Shen Yunjing said: "I will help you from the side. Besides, doesn't everything have to be in accordance with the rules of the "Monk's Responsibility in the Ten Directions Jungle"? If he acts recklessly, I will risk my life to go to the True Master Hall. Haha. If I work for another two or three years and everything goes well, I will resign and come to Tianshi Mansion to play chess with your brother."
"That's welcome!"
The speech of a Jian Ji Guan Yuan was already one of the most important events in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the situation this year was so different, it immediately caused an uproar.
As soon as those who were interested received the news of Zhang Supervisor's resignation, they immediately recalled the articles published a while ago in the two journals "Junshan Notes" and "Longhu Mountain", as well as the various discussions caused by these three articles.
So many people more sensitively speculated that the person sent by Zhengyi to Zhangxiaguan this time was most likely a monk, and even deduced the subsequent personnel changes of Jianjiguanxiaguan: After Zhang Yangming's resignation , Shen Yunjing was transferred to the Supervisory Academy, and the vacated position of abbot was filled by a certain high-level cultivator, which was consistent with the previous public opinion.
In the lower temple of Jianji Guan, the two positions of supervisor and abbot are the real masters with voting rights in the real master hall, and they have the same status as the real master sitting in the six pavilions of the upper temple. The reason why he has always had a low status and seemed to have little say in the past is entirely because the holders of these two positions are from the secular world of Shifang Jungle.
If the newly replaced abbot is a monk, then the role of this position in the True Master Hall will be fully exerted, and it will be no different from the other true masters sitting in the six pavilions. No, maybe the power in your hands will be even greater!
For monks, this will be a coveted position, so who is qualified to be the abbot of Xiaguan?
As we all know, the abbot of Xiaguan and the supervising court were selected from Zhengyi and Quanzhen respectively. Since it was Zhang Yangming's speech, the successor must be the candidate promoted by Zhengyi. In other words, each sect of Zhengyi has the final say on who to recommend, and whether the recommended person can take office is decided by a vote by all Lianxu practitioners.
When Zhao Ran learned the news, he was inspecting the growth conditions of crops in various farmlands in Long'an Mansion, so he ended the inspection in a hurry and rushed back to Dajun Mountain.
Maoshan, Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace, Li Zhen Courtyard, Mrs. Pan sat next to Pan Yangshou who was reading the Taoist Scriptures, and reminded him: "How is Jinniang's matter?"
Pan Yangshou turned the page and asked, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Pan said: "It's Jin Niang's marriage."
Pan Yangshou put down the "First Aid Immortal Prescription" in his hand and looked at Mrs. Pan: "How old is she? Why are you so anxious? Didn't you and I only get married after we were forty years ago? Who are Jiang Tenghe and Zhao Liniang in Lou Guan? Those who cultivate at both ages? For those who practice Taoism, the most important thing is their cultivation. When their cultivation goes up, their longevity will increase and their appearance will not grow old. What should they be afraid of if it is later? If you look at Duanmu Changzhen again, will people who are over ninety continue to renew their strings? Don¡¯t you still have children?¡±
Mrs. Pan said: "But you can't say that. Why wait in vain when you meet the one you like?"
Pan Yangshou said: "Why have you waited in vain? It's been almost three years, and Zhang Tengming hasn't formed an elixir yet. How can he get married? We agreed at the time that we would get married after forming an elixir, so I was on guard against this! Jin Niang didn't know either. It¡¯s a matter of fact, you can look down on a good person, but you can¡¯t help but fall in love with such a loser!¡±
"So what? As long as the child is satisfied, let's just turn a blind eye."
"Don't worry. In a few years, Jin Niang will understand. She will definitely cry and don't want to get married. Do you believe it? It just so happens that I am about to transform into Yang Shen. I will go into seclusion at the end of the year. Her marriage is waiting for me. It¡¯s not too late to discuss it again on the day of departure!¡±
Mrs. Pan suddenly became happy: "Is it time? This?It's not easy. "
Pan Yangshou sighed: "Yes, it's really not easy to stay at the master level for ten years."
Just as he was talking, he received a flying talisman. Pan Yangshou muttered: "Uncle Sima asked me to go there. If anyone asks to see my father, and you stand in the way, just say that my father is in seclusion."
After descending from Damao Peak, Pan Yangshou climbed to the south waist of Jijin Peak and went straight into the North Pole Building of Yuanfu Wanning Palace. He saw Tianshi Sima waiting in the building, so he stepped forward to ask what happened.
Sima Tianshi said: "Your father is still in retreat? I Fei Fu invited him to come over to discuss matters, but there was no reply."
Pan Yangshou replied: "My father is indeed in retreat. He once said that his understanding has become deeper and deeper over the years, and there seems to be a faint image of harmony."
Sima Tianshi was overjoyed: "If we can really unite the Tao, our Maoshan Mountain can equal Longhu Mountain and Gezao Mountain. The three mountains are the three mountains! The reason why we have been dwarfed by each other in the past hundred years is because there are no great monks of the Hedao! But! Speaking of which, it¡¯s time for him to join the Tao. After all, senior brother is one of the top five practitioners in the world"
Suddenly he frowned and said, "It's just that if I do this, I'm afraid it will delay important events."
Pan Yangshou was puzzled: "What's the big deal?"
Sima Tianshi asked: "Have you read the three articles in "Dragon Tiger Mountain"? About the monks taking up their posts in the jungles of the ten directions."
"I have seen it. Those three articles were well written. I read them in "Junshan Notes". Do you have any plans?"
"I originally thought it was just ordinary propaganda, but I didn't expect it to have a profound meaning. Did you know that Zhang Yangming resigned"
Pan Yangshou is not in the Zhenshi Hall, and no one in Jiuxiao Wanfu Palace is working in Zongguan, so it is really not clear. Now I suddenly heard this news, combined with three articles published by colleagues in "Longhu Mountain" and "Junshan Notes", Immediately he was shocked, this was another vacant seat in the True Master Hall.
But for a moment, he shook his head again. Even if his father had not prepared to go into seclusion and attack Hedao, he would not have been able to win. There was no Hedao monk in Maoshan, and he wanted to rely on the name of "Zhengyisanshan". If one family occupies two seats in the True Master Hall, which sect would agree?
"Pity¡¡"
