The Goryeo hierarchy was extremely strict. Zhi Haigui is the master of the Lamp Temple, and he is in a high position, so Li Luo had no chance to sit alone with him. However, first, he admired Li Luo's talent, second, he believed that Li Luo was an old friend and nephew, third, he had a request for Li Luo, and fourth, he was a senior monk after all, and he was somewhat egalitarian. This gave Li Luo the opportunity to ask the right question.

Looking at Li Luo, who was kneeling and sitting in a posture that completely followed the aristocratic model, with a resolute face and blazing eyes, Zhihai couldn't help but bow his head.

"It is said that Li Xiaoshi is the nephew of Xiangguo? Why did you come to ......?"

Li Luo had already been mentally prepared to ask the right question, and he repeated what he had said to Jin Guangxian and others in detail, of course, he didn't forget to perform.

After listening carefully, Zhihai had few doubts. The main thing is that Li Luo's performance is impeccable, and more importantly, the intelligence he overheard from Jin Guangxian plays a decisive role.

"Speaking of which, Lao Wei and Tibetan Xiangguo are still close friends." Chikaido.

"My uncle is very knowledgeable and proficient in Buddhism, so he can meet the master at first sight." Li Luo praised both "Uncle Ancestor" and Zhihai.

"Since Master Li Xiaoshi thinks that he has no face to return to Renzhou and return to his sect, it is better for Lao Wei to repair the book to the head of the Li family and say a thing or two for you. Looking at the thin noodles of the old man, the head of your family is bound to settle down. "Zhihai began to promise benefits.

That's the benefit? That's not going to work. Li Luo said: "It's not a secret, the kid is determined to return to the family after Jiang Huabo's fame." If not, wouldn't it hurt my father's face? ”

"So, the little donor has the heart to be a career in Jianghua?" Zhihai smiled slightly, of course he knew Li Luo's thoughts, but he was not displeased. Who is not competitive among young men? They all love to return home, and they don't want to return home, which is the common feeling of ancient times.

Li Luo said: "The master's eyes are like a torch, and the kid has the heart to go out of Jianghua." ”

Zhihai nodded: "That's fine." The Goryeo Imperial Examination has a translation department, which has become more and more noble in recent years, and the Jinshi Department is also inferior. With your talent in translation, you will inevitably translate into high school, but you lack qualifications. The old man repairs the book and guards the county, and fills in the qualifications for you. The exam will start next year, and once you win the list, you will be awarded the seven-grade clearance. Since you have been a subordinate official of the Nine Grades of the Reserve Administration, you must know the officialdom and people, and your promotion is naturally safe. ”

In Goryeo, it is not possible to participate in the imperial examination if you are talented. The Goryeo class was divided into five classes: royal families, middle families, good people, sluts, and slaves. Only the first and second classes can participate in the imperial examination. Li Luo has not yet returned to the sect, he is only a good person, of course, he is not qualified.

Who knew that Li Luo's response surprised him.

"The master is kind, the kid is toothless and unforgettable. But the boy only wants to suppress the bandits and settle down. Tens of thousands of families of property were looted by robbers before the boy, and his entourage was also killed, and he hated the thieves in his heart, and vowed to suppress the bandits as his thoughts and serve the local peace. Now, Jianghua has been repeatedly attacked by pirates, and the people are in danger, which is the time for men to use their lives. The kid doesn't want to be a prominent position, but only wants to be with the soldiers. ”

Li Luo said with a sincere and firm salute.

He doesn't want to be a civil official! How can you say yes?

What he wants is a knife handle, and it is the power of the army.

In this world, how can a civil official become a prime minister? Not yet a licking dog of the Mongols? Kill when you say you kill, and catch when you say you catch.

He wants to control his own destiny, and no one can help him realize such a dashing dream except for the soldiers.

Zhihai can't help it. It's ridiculous to let a noble civilian official not do it, but to be a soldier. Now the Yuan court is going to use troops in Japan again, and another conscription is imminent. How dangerous it is to use troops across the sea, so at present, the children of the Goryeo family regard the military as a daunting path. Once Li Luo has a military position, it is very likely that he will be requisitioned and transferred.

"It seems that Master Li Xiaoshi has decided to become an army." Zhihai saw Li Luo's 'determined look', and he didn't bother to persuade him.

"Yes." Li Luo bowed down and replied.

"If you want to be in the army, Lao Qu can repair the Jianghua Navy Temperance Envoy and let him appoint him to the military position of Eight Rank Simeng." Zhihai said.

Zhihai exercises the right of recommendation. According to the Goryeo system, there are three ways to enter the imperial examination, Meng Yin, and recommendation. The first-to-third-rank officials must go through the imperial examination, and the fourth-to-seventh-grade officials can also sprout outside the imperial examination, and only the eighth-rank and nine-rank officials can be recommended.

Chuandeng Temple is a royal temple, and the famous "Tripitaka of 80,000 People" is still collected in Chuandeng Temple. Therefore, Zhihai is ranked as a "first-class monk official", and "Kaifu Yi is the same as the three divisions". He recommended an eight-grade Si Meng, but it was just a matter of a letter.

Si Meng was directly led by the general, mainly leading the team to supervise the battle and kill the deserters. This is also a noble position in the army.

Li Luo didn't know what Bapin Simeng did, but he didn't have to think about it to know that it was a regular military position, and he should have military power, but he must always be under the supervision of his superiors, and his autonomy was too poor, and there was no room for illegal operations at all.

Li Luo said simply: "The kid thanked the master for his promotion, but the eighth grade is too high, and Si Meng's position is really incompetent." Now that Mani Township is vacant, the kid is willing to take over the Jiupin Capital Village and suppress the thieves and the people. ”

Jiupin Duzhai?

Zhihai was stunned for a moment. Although Duzhai has a battalion of township bravery, it is not a military position, but a civilian position.

Duzhai is actually the lord of a township, overseeing the rural taxation and civil affairs. Although he also has the responsibility of suppressing bandits, he has a bit of military power, but what can the poor and unusable townsmen do? Where is the best deal for Bapinsi?

Zhihai has his own elegance, and he doesn't bother to think about why Li Luo thinks about the nine products in the middle of the village. The capital is the capital village, and the horizontal and vertical are just a letter.

In this way, the old man repaired the book Jianghua County Guard. Zheng Lu, the county guard, is an old protégé, he looks at my face, if you flatter you a little, he can take care of you. ”

Li Luo was overjoyed in his heart, and bowed down again: "The kid will not forget the master's promotion." If you can be a little more effective, the kid will not give up! "Although Duzhai is the lowest nine-rank official, he is not in the same place as his superiors, and he is not considered a military position, so he has a lot of autonomy. Not only can they train freely, but they can also manage the township administration, which is the most suitable.

Next, he knew that Zhihai was going to ask for something. It's definitely not the Great Nikkei, but something else.

This son knows a lot. Sure enough, Zhihai was reserved and said, "The little donor is really a registered disciple of the national teacher?" ”

Li Luo replied without hesitation: "Because the national teacher knows the Tibetan language, and his heart is to the Buddha, and he looks at the face of his uncle, he is a disciple of the king, and he is named a disciple." ”

Phags-pa is a true generation of eminent monks. His popularity is magnificent, broad-minded, and he is dedicated to promoting Buddhism, and his heart has the world. There are so many registered disciples that he may not even be able to remember them all.

Pretending to be his registered disciple, not to mention that it is difficult to verify, even if it is verified, Pasipa will not be counted. He is the master of Tantric Buddhism, and in his opinion, anyone who has a heart towards Tantra is considered his disciple, which is like the "spiritual party member" of a certain island and a certain party in later generations.

Master Zhihai's face was relaxed, and he said: "The little donor is also my Goryeo clan, and the old man said it directly." Can the little benefactor hear the attitude of the national teacher towards my Goryeo Zen Buddhism? "Phag-pa is in charge of the affairs of Dayuan Buddhism, and since Goryeo has become a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, Phag-pa can certainly intervene in Goryeo Buddhism.

Li Luo suddenly understood, he recalled the historical record of Pas-pa, and seemed to grasp something. Seeing Zhihae's expression again, he immediately guessed the reason.

"The National Teacher once said that Tantra is the practice of the Dharma, and I hope to practice it widely." Li Luo frightened, "If it is really implemented, it will be really detrimental to my Goryeo Zen sect." ”

If he guessed correctly, Zhihai should have wanted to curry favor with Pasipa and ask himself for advice.

"The rumors are true." Zhihai said lightly, although his face was silent, he was secretly anxious in his heart. This Li Luo confirmed the rumors so firmly, and obviously really knew Ba Sipa.

"The master doesn't need to worry too much." Li Luo began to reassure him, "The national teacher is not a person who insists on going his own way, and this matter is still going to turn around." As long as I have respect for Goryeo Zen Buddhism, he will naturally not be too much of an old man, and he will just raise his hand. ”

He knew that Tantra in the early Yuan Dynasty did have the intention of suppressing Zen Buddhism, and the codex relics left by the Tibetan monks recorded the information that he wanted to ban Zen Buddhism and respect Tantra alone. However, at that time, Taoism was still powerful, and in order to completely suppress Taoism, Tantra had to unite Zen Buddhism, and in the end, it did not suppress Zen Buddhism, but coexisted in peace.

The problem is that Zhihai doesn't know this history.

"That's the reason. The translation of the Great Nikkei was originally intended to pay tribute to the national teacher and show respect for Goryeo Zen Buddhism. In addition, the temple also contacted other temples to jointly present 36 pairs of gold bottles, 72 pairs of silver bottles, 108 hangings of Goryeo Dongzhu, 300 Korean ginseng plants, 300 pairs of Goryeo celadon, and 3,000 pieces of Goryeo silk cloth. With such a ritual, is the national teacher satisfied? Zhihai asked.

What the? So many gifts!

Li Luo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, the Goryeo temple is really rich.

The gold and silver bottles are all large amounts of currency unique to Goryeo, each weighing one catty, and so many "bottles" are discounted at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. With the addition of Dongzhu ginseng and celadon cloth, the total value is at least 780,000 yuan!
