Sure enough, as the Eastern Heavenly Master said, the next morning, Leng Tengxing, the abbot of Xuantan Palace, personally arrived at Chunfeng Langyuan in a carriage to "congratulate" Zhao Zhiran. In his hand, he held an urgent document that General Guan sent directly to the capital by flying talisman.
In this document, the general view of the three capitals of Guanxia was decided that Zhao Zhiran should be removed from the position of abbot of Xuantan Palace because of his "outstanding talents, harmonious character, and outstanding merits." It was recommended that a candidate be recommended for the abbot of Wenchangguan, and Wenchangguan was requested to immediately A public recommendation meeting was held to elect the new abbot of Nanzhili.
The document was sent to Xuantan Palace and Wenchang Temple, and was announced in the Daomen Residence Newspaper. It was also published in the latest issue of "Longhu Mountain".
According to the understanding of Leng Jianyuan, this is a breakthrough for monks to become the first-level abbot of Provincial Temple, which is of great significance. Therefore, General View is so solemn and impatient to do so.
If it were in the past, Zhao Ran would have happily accepted the congratulations, then happily waited for the recommendation, and finally received the final appointment document with satisfaction.
But this time, his mood was really complicated.
Pointing to the comments praising myself on the document, he smiled and said, "That's one more sentence, it's not easy."
Leng Tengxing joked: "The great achievements of the abbot cannot be concealed. The writers of Zong Guan Dian Zao Yuan do not dare to save time and save time by saying this."
Zhao Ran said: "Thank you so much, Leng Jianyuan, for coming all the way to congratulate me."
Leng Tengxing said: "Why did the abbot say this? My life and the lives of all the colleagues in the courtyard were saved by the abbot. How can I not come and report something important to the abbot? Besides, the abbot is ill. I came to see him. What does the abbot mean? In fact, all my colleagues want to come over and congratulate the abbot personally"
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "My legs and feet are weak when I am like this, so please forgive me."
Leng Tengxing hurriedly said: "Yes, that's what I meant too. I was afraid of disturbing Abbot Kang Jian, so I didn't agree to them. Although I didn't come, my comrades asked me to say: After Abbot is promoted, please don't worry about me and other old subordinates." , we will continue to do Yingtian's preaching work according to the abbot's preaching ideas, and we will never go beyond the rules set by the abbot"
After Leng Tengxing finished expressing his determination, Zhao Ran asked: "It's so early in the morning. You didn't have breakfast. How about you use some at my place? Of course, I only have simple food here. If you are not used to it, you can go back to Leng Prison." eat."
Leng Tengxing smiled and said: "How can I? I will definitely bother the abbot for a meal today. I will rarely have this opportunity in the future."
Zhao Ran accompanied Leng Tengxing to a simple breakfast of meatloaf, mung bean cake and rice porridge, and then sent him back.
Leng Tengxing said before leaving: "The enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow at Qixia Mountain, and I will meet the abbot then."
As soon as he left, Gu Tengjia arrived on the back. Wenchang Temple was on Qixia Mountain outside the city. From this, it can be deduced that Gu Tengjia's departure time was no later than Leng Tengxing, or even earlier.
Zhao Ran has great respect for this Provincial Supervisor, not only because of his identity and Taoist duties, but also because he raised the flag and stood in line at the critical moment, which saved Zhao Ran a lot of trouble in the future. Therefore, Zhao Ran He came to the gate in person and brought Gu Tengjia in.
Needless to say, Gu Tengjia definitely didn¡¯t have a good breakfast. Zhao Ran directly accompanied him to have another meal. After eating, Suchuan Yao pushed the cart and walked along the Mochou Lake.
Zhao Ran asked: "Where is the old abbot?"
Gu Tengjia said: "Since Abbot Zhuang collapsed last time, his body and bones have become weak. Last month he submitted a letter of resignation to Lushan and prepared to return to his hometown to take care of himself. After waiting for a month, the approval was finally given yesterday. , and sent it to the Guanli together with Zhiran's recommendation document for your public recommendation. Abbot Zhuang said that after attending your public promotion ceremony tomorrow, he will go down the mountain and return home. Zhiran, I heard that you will be the abbot, Wenchang Guanli We are all in high spirits, and now everyone is busy preparing for tomorrow's nomination ceremony, waiting for you to go up the mountain."
Regardless of whether it is Wenchang Temple or Xuantan Palace, the colleagues in both places do not know the mystery here. Zhao Ran believes that they are looking forward to his appointment with great enthusiasm, and they have never thought that there is so much in it. Lots of twists and turns.
What can Zhao Ran do? It is impossible for him to tell everyone that in fact, I have no plans to go to Wenchang Temple to take up the post of abbot. What I want is Daolu Division, so you should not be so excited and postpone the recommendation until the situation is sorted out here.
What's more, judging from the current progress of the situation, his hope of taking charge of Daolu Division has almost been shattered. In the Zhenshitang discussion the day after tomorrow, no matter which party wins, he will not be able to serve as the director of the Daolu.
The key issue is that if you want to keep Yuanfu Palace, you must hope that Xu Yun'ao and Wu Yangzhong will win and repeal their own proposals, so that you can retain the right to speak in the affairs of Yuanfu Palace.
It suddenly occurred to me that threeQingge and Dongjige were still "close comrades-in-arms" in April, but now they are on opposite sides because of the control of an overseas loose cultivator. Things are unpredictable and changing so fast that it is really unpredictable. ah.
Since Dao Lusi has no relationship with him, let¡¯s take down Wenchang Temple first. It is impossible not to eat the meat that is brought to your mouth, not to mention that it is what you deserve in the first place.
" But Zhao Ran was very unwilling. I worked hard to prepare a big meal, but you guys kicked me to another table to eat - well, although the food on this table is not bad, it looks too ugly to you, right?
After thinking about it, Zhao Ran was so scared: After I finish eating this table, I have to destroy the table I cooked so that you can¡¯t eat it! I silently calculated it in my mind and found that the number of votes to flip the table was still a bit dangerous, so I mustered up the courage to fly the talisman to Master Song Yangshi for the first time: "Please also ask Master Song for help."
A few years ago, Tianshi Song gave Zhao Ran the contact information of Fei Fu and promised him to speak up if anything happened. However, this matter is not a private matter, and I don¡¯t know if Tianshi Song will help him.
After waiting for a moment with anxiety, Song Yangshi's reply came: "I know, wait."
Zhao Ran didn't know what he was waiting for, but he knew that he had won a vote for Xu Yun'ao, Wu Yangzhong and Dongfang Ming. This was his best, and the rest was left to fate.
The Wenchang Temple comrades completed the preparations for the abbot's recommendation ceremony with extremely high efficiency. When Zhao Ran arrived the next day, everything was ready.
Zhang Yuanji, Dongfang Ming, Wu Yangzhong, Yang Yunmeng, and Li Junyang all came to Qixia Mountain to watch the ceremony in person, and even Guo Hongjing came. Of course, Guo Hongjing's purpose of coming to Qixia Mountain was mainly to visit Chen Shandao.
The real master who is sitting in the capital has come half way, specifically to participate in the recommendation of a provincial abbot. This is probably the first time in Shifang Jungle in more than 600 years. It is truly unprecedented, and there will basically be no others in the future.
This is true for the Zhenshi Hall, and even more so for the landlord Sanmao Hall. Li Dayin led all the monks from his sect back to Qixia Mountain, plus the eight disciples who stayed in the mountain to cultivate, a total of thirty-eight people were present.
The crown prince, whose name had been corrected, led all the officials of the third rank and above in the capital, including three bachelors and ministers of various ministries, etc., and more than sixty people attended the ceremony.
In addition, there are dozens of Taoist priests from Xuantan Palace. As for the local gentry, they really didn't have the ability to hear about it in advance. Even if they heard about it, they didn't have time to make it happen and they couldn't get on the list of spectators.
Zhang Lue, who was still ordered to guard the capital, did not dare to be careless. He placed guards on guard duty from the foot of the mountain. More than 2,000 Longtan Guard sergeants surrounded Qixia Mountain.
With Zhao Ran's reputation in Beijing, there was no doubt about this recommendation. No one dared to express "I have objections" in court. When the votes were counted, Zhao Ran received 168 votes in favor and not a single vote against or against. Abstain.
Because there were so many important people watching the ceremony, we simply combined the public recommendation and the enthronement together, striving to complete it in one day. So, Zhao Ran sat on a bamboo wheelchair and was lifted to his seat by the Taoist priests of Wenchang Temple. He became the first person to eat crabs at the provincial Taoist temple in Shifang Jungle, and officially met the world as the abbot of Wenchang Temple.
