In the True Master Hall, the topic of whether Zhao Ran is guilty is unfolding.
Although there is no clear evidence, the Queen Mother was responsible for spiritual practice, the gift of wine that night, and Zhu Xianjian's death, etc., were all very detrimental to the Queen Mother. Except for the fact that the body was not found, they were all clear reminders to all true masters that the Queen Mother reported to Zhao all night However, the possibility of seeking revenge is extremely high.
Looking back at Zhao Ran, there was indeed no reason to kill the Queen Mother at night. The Queen Mother left the West Palace on her own initiative, and in fact the scene of the fight was not in the West Palace, which in itself explains the problem.
What¡¯s more, during the hearing just now, even Zhu Qigu herself admitted that when the two were fighting on Luosha Island, Zhao Ran never attacked Zhu Qigu. He either defended or evaded. This shows Zhao Ran¡¯s thoughts.
The Queen Mother retaliated against Zhao Ran and was killed by Zhao Ran. All the true masters held positive opinions on this. As for the whereabouts of the corpse, most people assumed that it was due to the fire in the Ancestral Temple. The truth behind the Ancestral Temple fire is a secret that no one can uncover.
The key point is that at the hearing, several real masters asked Zhao Ran why the Queen Mother¡¯s affairs were not reported to the real master hall truthfully. Regarding this issue, Zhao Ran could only admit his mistake and expressed deep regret. In his ambiguous explanation, because of the subsequent "major incident" - Zhao Ran's original words, and the serious injuries he suffered during the "major incident", he did not have the time to consider this issue in the six months he was about to recuperate. In other words In other words, I just forgot.
The true masters understand what the "major events" he refers to are, and they also know that they cannot dwell on this issue, or even identify the major events, but they are not satisfied with his "forgetting". But not satisfied, Zhao Ran just "forgot", what else can he say?
Zhang Yuanji suddenly said: "Even if this matter is not Zhao Zhiran's fault, he should still bear certain responsibilities. Because of his so-called 'forgetting', the current situation has arisen. Zhu Qiqi wants to seek revenge from Zhao Ran. It makes sense. What disappoints me is that Zhao Ran not only 'forgot' to report the matter to the Queen Mother, he also 'forgot' that he had an illegitimate son. This is intolerable. He is already a great alchemist. , and also shouldered the responsibilities, Zhenshitang even handed over the general affairs of Jiangnan to him. Such a high-ranking person, who is also an eminent scholar of our Taoist sect, has such a stain, which is really unsatisfactory."
Some real masters nodded frequently and agreed, but this also made Huang Bingyue quite anxious. Zhang Yuanji's statement was actually to forcefully connect the case with Zhao Ran's life style, which would inevitably lead to bad results, so he immediately Retort: ??"Today's inquiry is about the case between Zhao Zhiran and the Queen Mother. Do not change unrelated topics casually, let alone involve them in one place at will."
Zhang Yuanji said coldly: "What Master Huang said is wrong. I have just said that as a Taoist master, you should set an example for your fellow Taoists in the world. Have you ever seen any master in charge make such a mistake? Really? If the master hall does not impose punishment and continues to indulge, the colleagues in the world will think that we encourage this kind of behavior! If it spreads, won't it become the laughing stock of the world? Furthermore, in any case, as a Taoist scholar, the death of the Queen Mother will be fine. Whether he had an illegitimate child or even had his wife and children kidnapped, Zhao Zhiran actually didn¡¯t report any of it to the True Master Hall. Does he still have the True Master Hall in his eyes? This is already arrogant!"
All the true masters were silent. Indeed, as Zhang Yuanji said, no matter what the reason is, such things should be reported.
Zhang Yuanji snorted and said: "In any case, Zhao Zhiran's behavior of ignoring the True Master Hall is a taboo for all those who hold high positions. The True Master Hall should warn the world, otherwise there will be many people who follow, and the true Master Hall will Where is the majesty of the master hall?"
Yu Daochun asked: "Senior Brother Songyang, how should we deal with this situation?"
Zhao Songyang muttered: "The matter is unprecedented and there is no basis for it, but if we have to deal with it, we can consider revoking the job."
Master Zhou shouted: "That's nonsense!"
Zhao Songyang said to Zhou Yunzhi slowly: "I am the real person sitting in Dongji Pavilion. Of course my suggestions are pertinent. Where is the nonsense?"
Zhou Yunzhi said: "Everyone knows that you don't like Zhao Zhiran. What are you suggesting if it's not nonsense?"
Zhao Songyang said disdainfully: "This is the True Master's Hall, and we are discussing important matters, not just a housewife's house! Don't talk nonsense!"
Zhang Yuanji nodded his head: "I agree to take away his position as a warning to others!"
This is a very serious punishment, and it will have a big impact on personal reputation. Master Zhou is simply in disbelief: "Why are you so crazy? Are you going crazy in your cultivation?"
During the quarrel, Guo Hongjing suddenly said: "Before Zhao Zhiran rushed to Nanhai, he asked Senior Brother Chen to submit his resignation to the Zhenshi Hall, and he also took the initiative to report these things to us."
Zhang Yuanji asked: "When? Why didn't I know?"
?Guo Hongjing said: "Senior Brother Chen informed me and Master Bingyue, but we couldn't bear to sit back and watch the two sides fight, and rushed to persuade us to make peace. We both left in a hurry. I thought Bingyue would tell everyone, Bingyue thought I would tell you Everyone, it turned out that we all ignored it. At this point, Bingyue and I apologize to everyone."
Huang Bingyue also bowed and said: "It is indeed an oversight. This junior has entered the True Master Hall for the first time and still doesn't understand many of the rules. I rely on the guidance of my seniors."
Seeing that these two people took the responsibility on themselves, Zhao Songyang stopped talking. Zhang Yuanji took over and said: "He still knows how to hand in his resignation? Forget it, where is the resignation?"
Guo Hongjing took out a resignation letter and showed it to all the masters on the spot. Sure enough, it was Zhao Ran's handwritten resignation letter.
Zhang Yunyi said above: "Since there is a resignation, let's vote according to the resignation. Whether to agree to Zhao Zhiran's resignation or to retain him, the decision will be made."
Zhang Yuanji, Zhao Songyang, Li Junyang, Yu Daochun, Yang Yunmeng, Shen Yunjing, Dongfang Ming, and Du Yanghong all voted for Zhao Zhiran to resign as a punishment; Zhou Yunzhi, Huang Bingyue, Wu Yangzhong, Song Yangshi, Guo Hongjing, and Wang Jingyun voted to retain; Zhang Yunyihe Wang Changyu abstained from voting.
8 to 6, Zhenshitang approved Zhao Ran¡¯s resignation.
Zhou Yunzhi was furious, pointing at the people who voted: "Don't you think about it, whose credit is it to reach two billion? Now that the credit is reached, you are crossing the river and burning the bridge? You really have a good face!"
Zhang Yuanji said coldly: "The increase in credibility is the result of the joint efforts of all the Taoist sects and Shifang Jungle comrades. It is not brought about by one person. Master Zhou must understand it."
Song Yangshi took Master Zhou and left first. Master Zhou was still angry: "They actually want to depose Zhao Zhiran. Is this justified?"
Song Yangshi said: "I agree with Zhao Zhiran's resignation, not depose him."
"What's the difference?"
"The difference is huge. Moreover, Great Heavenly Master Yunyi and Great Master Chang Yu have had this idea before and only told a few people. I guess that if they disagreed with the vote before, they will also vote to agree later. .¡±
Zhou Yunzhi asked doubtfully: "What do they mean?"
Song Yangshi said: "There is a purpose."
Although Zhou Yunzhi was puzzled, she could not hide her anger: "You are just trying to balance and mess around! So, Zhu Qiqi's kidnapping case is okay?"
Song Yangshi said: "No one was hurt, but he will be detained for half a year."
"So light?"
"Even Zhao Ran stated that he hopes to be given a lighter sentence, why do others want to wade into this muddy water? Moreover, after all, he is a member of the Yuhuang Pavilion. Where is Dongfang Ming, who has the nerve to vote for a lighter sentence?"
"What are you sorry for?"
"So I ask you to go first, otherwise you will offend people again when you vote."
ps: Zhao Zhiran's birthday is all thanks to the support of the die-hard fans of Junshan Friends. Zhao Zhiran held a fast for everyone and added a chapter to express his gratitude!
