Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran still agreed to the request of Butcher and Rich Shen. Although the qualifications of these two people were not evaluated, they were not picky in terms of character. They were old friends who knew everything about them.

    Of course he would not let the butcher and Rich Shen become his nephews, so he went to see his teacher Jiang Tenghe.

    Jiang Tenghe continued to gaze up at the stars on the observatory. Zhao Liniang had moved into the small world of the building and was currently painting on the railing.

    Zhao Ran did not talk about the nonsense of the two elder brothers. He just told the teacher that these two wanted to join the Zongsheng Hall. They were independent cultivators who knew their roots and had no support from the sect or aristocratic family. He thought they could consider it.

    Jiang Tenghe is quite familiar with them and is fine with them, but he said: "With their qualifications, it may still be difficult for them to practice the water stone elixir method"

    This was a sincere consideration for Butcher and Rich Master Shen. Otherwise, given the current shortage of people in the Zongsheng Hall, Jiang Tenghe just waved his hand to express his agreement, and then just accepted it at will. As for whether he could cultivate it, there was no need to worry about it for the time being.

    Lou Guan¡¯s secret water-stone elixir method will only be taught after reaching the golden elixir, so disciples below the golden elixir still have to rely on themselves, which fully embodies the principle of being led by the master and practicing on an individual basis.  Of course, it is a recognized fact that Wei Zhizhen has his own way of teaching martial arts. Maybe after the two of them join the Zongsheng Hall, they can understand this and make a breakthrough?

    Zhao Liniang suddenly said: "I know these two guys. They came to help with the cooking at the Double Cultivation Ceremony, so I might as well accept it. But one thing, Zhi Ran, you should make it clear to them. I don't care how they live outside.  The Zongsheng Hall must be clean when you come under my door, well, what Zhiran said is pay attention to hygiene!"

    So these two people were brought into the mountain by Zhao Ran and worshiped under Zhao Liniang's disciples. During the apprenticeship ceremony, the first rule Zhao Liniang set was to pay attention to hygiene, which included: taking a bath at least every three days, and not picking in public.  Picking your feet and nose, and putting food in your arms and under your body are strictly prohibited Once any of the above behaviors are discovered, you will be beaten every time you see them!

    Seeing these two people kowtowing to Zhao Liniang with grim faces, Zhao Ran couldn't hold it in anymore, turned around and left the Four Holy Temples, laughing with the outsiders.

    At the end of March, Zhao Ran waited in Tianhe Palace for the third big fire started by Zhang Yuanji - the edict to appoint a monk as the abbot of the Taoist Palace in the state capital.  This is the first time five years since the "Edict on the appointment of monks in the pavilion and pavilion in the jungles of ten directions" was issued, and it is the second major step in this policy.

    There are currently 158 Taoist palaces in the Ming Dynasty. After five years of deliberate suppression and the efforts of the former supervisor Zhang Yangming and abbot Shen Yunjing, 36 of them did not have a replacement abbot, and the abbot's position was vacant.  , this is the "legacy" they left behind.

    It is precisely based on this rich inheritance that in the general edict, the implementation plan for the appointment of monks as the abbot of the palace was divided into three steps: before June this year, first of all, the thirty-six people with vacancies in the abbot position will be  The appointment of the abbots of the Taoist palaces has been completed; the second step will be started next year to complete the appointment of the second batch of thirty-six abbots of the Taoist palaces - this also means that thirty-six abbots of the Taoist palaces will face transfer, transfer, or resignation  The third step was completed before the end of the 30th year of Jiajing. All one hundred and fifty-eight Taoist palaces were staffed by monks, achieving the second full coverage.

    Regarding the qualifications for the abbot of the palace, the edict also reiterated that it must be a monk of Jindan or above. If the affiliated state Taoist temple is unable to select a monk to be the abbot of the Taoist palace, the general view will uniformly arrange for a monk from another family to take over.

    At the same time, the edict stipulates that every Jindan monk who takes up his post must serve for at least two years. Unless he really needs to retreat, he must not stop.  The General View will accept reports from various places. Once such phenomena are discovered, the position of abbot of the mansion will also be filled by monks selected by the General View.

    As for the term of office of the abbot, it has also been clarified again that one term is five years and shall not be re-elected for more than three terms.

    Zhao Ran has been serving as the governor of Tianhe Palace for two years. Today, two years later, with the issuance of the general edict, he naturally became the monk "selected" by the Zongsheng Hall to serve as the abbot.  The abbot of Tianhe Palace belongs to the provincial level and is directly under the direct control of the Zongguan Dianzhuyuan. Recommendations and appointments require a vote from the Zongguan Sandu. He was originally worried about whether Zongguan would fail at this level.  No matter what went wrong, now with this edict, no problem is a problem.  This is a personnel appointment and dismissal under a major situation. If you catch such an opportunity, the huge difficulties will not be difficult, and you will be able to take the position smoothly.

    What followed was a series of intense writing and procedures. A total of four Taoist palaces in Sichuan Province needed to complete this appointment before the end of May. Otherwise, the general view would take back this responsibility and "parachute" a monk to take up the post.

    This is where the power of Zhang Yuanji as the abbot of Xiaguan comes from the realm of refining the void. How could Zhang Yangming, the former vulgar Taoist, have decided on such a severe measure? Even ifEven if it is decided, it cannot be implemented. No monastery will really care about the "strict order" of a lay abbot.

    But this time it is different. If a monk is not selected to take over as the abbot of the Taoist palace, Zhang Yuanji is really capable of taking back this position!

    So, Songfan, Longan, Tongchuan and Baoning immediately started busy.

    Songfan is stress-free, but the other three state capitals are not so relaxed.  It is already difficult to ask Brother Huang Guan to perform his duties in Shifang Jungle. Whether it is Huayun Pavilion, Qingyun Pavilion, or Hengfu Pavilion, it is already quite difficult to fill up the abbots of the county hospital.  Even many of those Huang Guan monks are somewhat reluctant and reluctant. It is probably not easy to ask the Golden Core monk to serve as abbot.

    At any rate, Huayun Hall has two master uncles, Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo, to support the situation and are willing to take turns. In this case, they can deal with it for four years.  Moreover, the two uncles, Dazhuo and Xiaozhuo, are also very familiar with secular affairs. As soon as the latest policies of the General View are explained, they will know what to choose.

    There is also Pei Zhongze in Qingyun Pavilion who is willing to transition to the realm of Archmage for two years, and then wait two years to see if Pei Zhongning and other children of the Pei family can break through the core formation.

    But Hengfu Hall was in some trouble. As a last resort, they simply selected a golden elixir from among the casual cultivators, promised a lot of benefits, and appointed him as the supervisor of Baoning Mansion - this was also within the permission of the general view.  .  There was nothing that could be done about it. The Boryeong Mansion definitely didn't want the abbot of the first mansion on its territory to be parachuted in from Zongguan, so they had to come up with this method to make things more comprehensive.

    In mid-April, the four candidates for the abbot reported to Xuanyuan Guan. After Xuanyuan Guan reported to Yuhuang Pavilion for approval, they compiled it into a document and submitted it to Jian Ji Guan. Jian Ji Guan quickly issued a reply and approved the official document.  It was sent back to Sichuan in late April.

    Therefore, Sichuan Province held four public promotion ceremonies within a month. Tianhe Palace was relatively well prepared and took the lead in public promotion on May 1st. Zhao Zhiran was promoted to the abbot of Tianhe Palace.

    Next came the Huayun Pavilion, where Zhuo Tengyun was elected abbot of the West Zhenwu Palace on May 12th.  Then came Pei Zhongze, who was elected abbot of Ziyang Palace in Tongchuan Prefecture on May 18th.  On the stipulated last day of May 30th, Granny Ye Xing, a casual cultivator, was officially elected as the abbot of Yuyang Palace in Baoning Prefecture - she was actually a female cultivator.

    At this point, all the four gymnasiums breathed a sigh of relief, and the Jade Emperor Pavilion even breathed a sigh of relief.
