For this big banquet, Zhao Ran purchased nearly a hundred taels of food ingredients, so that all the monsters could enjoy the feast.
Looking at the huge team of more than ten spirit monsters and two to three hundred monster beasts by the lake, Zhao Ran secretly thought that it was fortunate that these guys had entered the spiritual practice and did not need to eat a meal for ten and a half days, otherwise he would really be destitute. .
He also saw Mr. Donkey, who only brought a dozen wives and concubines to Yingtian Mansion to report at the beginning of the year. At this moment, there were again a group of forty or fifty people around him. Zhao Ran couldn't help but was speechless for a while, and called him to his side: "Brother Donkey, Brother Donkey , you really can¡¯t control yourself no matter where you go, can you be more restrained?¡±
Mr. Donkey raised his voice and said, "They all volunteered!"
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, and the two large handfuls of kidneys that were roasting in his hands suddenly slipped down. Before they fell to the ground, the spirit deer Yuyang on the side had quick eyes and quick mouth, and took them all away.
¡°Oh, Brother Donkey, you can finally speak!¡±
"I was able to speak last year, okay?"
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
"After the old Taoist priest left, you cared less and less about me."
"Oh my, you are guilty! Hey, you guys, Mr. Donkey is able to speak, but you won't tell me?"
All the spirit monsters rolled their eyes together. The three-eyed horse prince rolled his eyes the most, almost to the top of his head: "The spirit monster can't speak, so what kind of spirit monster is it? Is it such a big deal? Are you so surprised?"
Huangshan Jun jumped out and roared: "Surnamed San! You are talking to Taoist Master Zhao like this. You haven't eaten enough barbecue. Do you want to eat it?"
Shen Jiangzi was also shaking his head: "Come on, come on, you and I will fight for three hundred rounds!"
Lord Ma said angrily: "How many times have I told you that my surname is Ma, not San! If I make a mistake again, I will let you know why Lord Ma has three eyes!"
Zhao Ran ignored them and started chatting with Jun Hai in his arms. The two of them had been together for seventeen years, and today they were finally able to talk. There were really endless topics to talk about.
After the feast, Zhao Ran threw the leftover mess to Suchuan Yao and began to think about buying a property.
With so many spirits, demons and beasts gathering in other people¡¯s homes, it has been going on for a long time, but there is no solution. Besides, Yuyang will soon marry Hong Zesou's two goddaughters and have his own manor, which is what he should do.
While he was thinking about it, the Great Ape came over and said, "Dao Zhang, there are always people looking for you these days, and they even leave letters."
Zhao Ran read the post handed over to him, but it was Prince Yu who asked him to come over and continue to teach health-preserving skills.
Zhao Ran thought about it and decided to go there.
Zhao Ran still asked King Yu and others to continue practicing according to the past method.
Half an hour later, the practice was over, and Zhao Ran went to the royal study to have tea with Prince Yu, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng.
King Yu suddenly got down from his seat and bowed deeply to Zhao Ran: "Please abbot, please save me!"
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, thinking that you might be unlucky enough to meet a poor person. If anyone else was there, they might be confused by your pretense of shocking words.
With a wave of his robe sleeves, King Yu seemed to be hit by a ball of cotton. He involuntarily took two steps back and sat back on the chair. He was still in a daze. Feng Bao saw Zhao Ran's displeasure and thought to himself: My prince, I have warned you a long time ago that Zhao Daozhang is a master who refuses to take hard or soft orders. No matter what your attitude is, he will not be threatened. , people only talk about the truth, why do you think you are so smart and do this kind of trick?
So Feng Bao quickly changed his mind: "Abbott, I wonder if you know that your Majesty has made a decree to establish a throne with the approval of the cabinet. Mr. Xia Ge proposed to establish King Yu, but he was retained by your majesty. Mr. Yan Ge again reported to King Jing, Your Majesty Zhu Pi ¡±
Zhao Ran didn't care much about the emperor's appointment of a heir. To put it bluntly, for him, a person who hangs out in the Taoist sect, it really doesn't matter much. The only thing that is involved is that some of Xia Yan's faction are involved. His friends, such as Gan Shutong, Xia Ji, Zhang Lue and so on.
It was precisely for this reason that he decided to help King Yu depending on the situation that day, and he had not yet made it clear, which was a typical political speculation.
But now the situation has undergone major changes. The Taoist sect has to walk on two legs. In order to keep the emperor and the Shangsan Palace, Chen Shandao even resigned from the real master who was coveted by countless people. At this time, he will definitely not confront the emperor openly. In line with Chen Shandao's wishes, the chance of success is very slim.
This is the general trend, and Zhao Ran has no choice but to remain silent for a moment and ask:"When will the edict be issued?"
Zhang Juzheng answered: "Xia Ge's resignation was rejected by His Majesty"
Although it was dismissed, it showed that Mr. Xia Ge¡¯s downfall had already entered the agenda.
" Now the edict has been issued to the Sixth Section, and I heard that it has not been returned"
If this is the case, it means that the crown prince is likely to be King Jing, which is also consistent with the general view that the emperor has just abolished the imperial edict that the emperor is not allowed to practice.
Zhao Ran also had no good solution and asked: "Has Ting recommended a bachelor to the cabinet? Has Shangshu Gan joined the cabinet?"
Zhang Juzheng sighed: "Yang Yiqing has entered the cabinet. On April 23, after Zhenshitang ruled that the rule that the emperor should not practice spiritual practice was abolished, the emperor asked the cabinet to convene a court meeting. Many people changed their positions, and Gan Shangshu ranked third. , the first one is Yang Yiqing."
This is the influence of Zhenshitang. A ruling will directly affect the selection of cabinet bachelors and the selection of the crown prince. From this perspective, Zhao Ran suddenly understood Wu Tianshi, Zhao Zhenren, and Xu Zhenren at that time. s Choice.
Gan Shutong has tried his best, and Xia Yan has also tried his best. He came up with a clever plan and won great fame and great prestige, but so what? When Ting pushed it, he could only rank third.
Zhao Ran said: "What are your plans, Your Highness?"
King Yu learned his lesson this time. He looked at Feng Bao and did not dare to be clever again. He said directly: "Abbott, do you think there is still hope for Xiao Wang?"
The question was very direct, which met Zhao Ran's requirements. In the past ten years or so, Zhao Ran had always asked for help from others, so he had to try his best to figure out what others meant. Now he is gradually qualified to listen. I definitely don¡¯t like other people playing tricks on other people¡¯s requests - I can make detours with you and you can figure it out for yourself, but don¡¯t make detours with me, I don¡¯t have time to think about you.
Zhao Ran's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "Whether there is hope or not, you can't just look at the present. Everything is developing and changing. When you are desperate, it may be just the beginning of hope. When you think it will come true, maybe there will be a new beginning. But all hope is lost."
King Yu, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other in confusion. They were confused by Zhao Ran's words. They tasted carefully. It seemed like there was something interesting? Thinking about it again, it doesn¡¯t seem to be the case!
