This was the first time that Zhao Ran spoke to Zhang Juzheng with a downcast expression. Zhang Juzheng was immediately frightened and quickly explained: "Abbott, forgive me. It was only after I arrived at the palace that I found out what Prince Yu had meant. And whether I would like to ask the abbot to check his qualifications." , His Highness Prince Yu only decided after talking with the abbot, which shows that His Highness Prince Yu has a very good impression of the abbot today"
Zhao Ran was silent for a while and said: "If something like this happens again, you have to tell it in advance. It won't be an exception next time!"
Zhang Juzheng wiped his sweat and said, "Yes."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Have you ever heard, Abbot, that His Majesty is practicing?"
Zhao Ran was very surprised: "Where did you hear the news?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "Feng Daban said it."
"Does he have any evidence?"
"No, Feng Daban himself has never seen it. But he said that the reason why he was demoted from the palace was related to this. Chen Hong and Meng Chong controlled the inner court, and the news in the palace was extremely guarded. He had just been appointed as the Secretary of Ceremony the year before last. When I was working as a supervisor, I once met Meng Chong, the Supervisor of Shangshan Food, who had personally moved a box to nowhere at night. He came up to say hello. Meng Chong was so frightened that he dropped the box to the ground, scattering cinnabar all over the floor Less than seven days later, he was dismissed from the post of writing and became the general manager of Prince Yu's Mansion."
"Cinnabar is normal and doesn't mean anything."
"But he was dismissed for no reason afterwards, which made people suspicious What's more, there were actually rumors in the palace about His Majesty's cultivation Feng Daban said that His Majesty was drunk once and was in The people in the palace went crazy and were very dissatisfied with the Taoist sect's rules that did not allow the emperor to practice cultivation. They also said that they must choose a heir who can practice cultivation to take over as Dabao in the future."
"Is this true or false? Why are they all rumors? Is King Yu anxious to practice because of this rumor?"
"In February this year, His Royal Highness King Yu came to the palace to pay his birthday to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also said to His Highness King Yu that it was a pity that he had no talent for spiritual practice. After His Highness came back, he became more and more depressed and often lamented this to himself. "
Zhao Ran asked: "Which queen mother?" After the matter of the emperor's posthumous title was decided in Yuanfu Palace, there were two queen mothers in the palace, one was the empress dowager Xiaokang, and the other was the empress dowager, the emperor's biological mother. But generally speaking, the world still respects the Empress Dowager Xiaokang, who is the rightful owner and lives in the West Palace. Her biological mother, the Empress Dowager, the original Princess of Xingwang, lives in the other palace - Xingqing Palace.
Zhang Juzheng replied: "It's the Queen Mother Xiaokang of the West Palace."
Although King Yu is not the grandson of Queen Mother Xiaokang, he has been close to Xiaokang since he was a child. On the contrary, he has no relationship with his biological mother, the Queen Mother. This is no wonder, after all, Princess Xing moved from the feudal country to Da Nei just seven years ago. If this sentence came from the mouth of Queen Mother Xiaokang, I really don't know what it means.
Zhao Ran didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just said: "My Taoist sect does not allow the emperor sitting on the throne to practice. This has been a rule for hundreds of years. King Yu wants to take the path of spiritual practice with just these few words." I'm afraid that's a little rash, right?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "Isn't it now said that the government should return to the emperor?"
Zhao Ran said: "That doesn't mean this rule will change."
Zhang Juzheng did not continue to refute Zhao Ran. If he refuted again, he would not be happy, so he said: "Abbott, don't worry too much. The lower officials are also afraid that King Yu will lose confidence and become depressed. As long as the abbot gives His Highness King Yu Just a reason to keep going.¡±
In fact, everyone knows whether King Yu has a talent for cultivation. Zhao Ran also believes that he must have had his qualifications tested after he was five years old, but he still keeps asking people to check him. It can only be said that he is too persistent. At the moment Smiling bitterly: "Where can I find this technique for him?"
Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but said: "I heard that your Majesty also had no qualifications back then"
Zhao Ran said sternly: "First, my Taoist sect has never said that the emperor can practice cultivation. Don't say that I can't find this kind of technique. Even if I find it, I will not pass it on to him; secondly, Prince Yu is not in good health. , the kidney energy is weak, I can teach him some health-preserving methods, but you tell Feng Bao, if you want King Yu to live longer, don't let him indulge in women. As for the emperor, we will wait until we find evidence."
Zhang Juzheng said hurriedly: "Yes. Feng Daban and I also want the abbot to coax him, and we will be satisfied if we can make him stronger."
When he arrived at the foot of Jilong Mountain, Zhao Ran said to Zhang Juzheng, "I will go to Prince Yu's Mansion in a few days."
Zhang Juzheng respectfully sent Zhao Ran up the mountain and sighed softly.
Zhao Ran¡¯s advanced training courses at the Monk Lecture Hall are still continuing, and the third and fourth rounds of the training ball have also been successfully completed. This is already halfway through the schedule.
In the ranking list, Xing Tenghe from Zhaozhen Pavilion ranked first in the Archmage Group, and Du Xingyan from Lingxu Pavilion ranked first.The ?Dan Master group came out on top, and in the Huangguan group, Yan Shifan was temporarily in the lead. As a monk who was not an orthodox Xuanmen disciple, it was extremely rare to be able to get the top spot in the group.
The entire winter competition will last seven rounds and end at the end of November. At that time, awards will be based on the total points ranking. The first place in each group will become the winner of next year's spring competition, and the bottom seven will get "wild cards" and directly win the competition. Qualify to participate in next year's spring split and continue to fight for a spot in the finals.
In the spring competition next year, the first place in each group's finals will have three battles with the champion. This is an attack battle, and the winner will receive generous bonuses. From now on, there will be one champion in each season, and the rest will compete for the qualifications to challenge. This is the most attractive part of next year's competition.
As the practice ball competition continues to heat up, Four Seasons Bank is replenishing its outlets one by one. More and more state capitals have joined the craze for lottery sales. The amount of lottery sales has been rising steadily. By the time of the fourth issue , has risen to 136,000 taels, and everyone is so happy that their faces are smiling.
In this regard, Zhao Ran's expectation is that by the time the spring competition and post-season arena challenge are held next year, the sales of lottery tickets should easily exceed the 200,000 mark, and the income of all parties will be more than originally expected. Double!
In November, the main courses of the training class in the Lecture Hall have begun to enter the advanced stage. The Daolu Department arranged for the training monks from the three classes to visit and hold discussions one by one in various Taoist palaces and monasteries in southern Zhili.
This is a learning method that combines theory and practice. The person who contributed this method is Zhao Ran. Even Daolu Sizhengyin, the always unsmiling Jinghui master, also agreed with a smile.
Zhao Ran is a monk in the palace advanced training class, so the places where the thirty-six monks in their class visited and held discussions were all Taoist palaces in South Zhili. The first one they went to was Yingtian Palace Xuantan Palace.
Xuantan Palace is not far from the Qinhuai River and is located in a prosperous and lively place. The main god enshrined is Marshal Zhao of Zhengyi Xuantan.
Yingtian Mansion is the largest palace in the world, and it has jurisdiction over eight counties: Shangyuan, Jiangning, Jurong, Liyang, Lishui, Gaochun, Jiangpu, and Liuhe. Xuantan Palace also has jurisdiction over eight counties.
This is a large palace with a total population of three million people. Such a Taoist palace faces four times the population and resources of Tianhe Palace! Therefore, Zhao Ran was very interested in visiting Xuantan Palace.
