In the first section, the jade dragon husband god Chang'e and Guanyin Bodhisattva joked back to Dongting Lake

Author: Xiao Zhai Xiao enlisted

[Narrator] It is said that after the marriage between the Heavenly Court Oiran Chang'e and the Marshal of the Jade Dragon, they chose to travel on their honeymoon, and the queen mother asked for leave to take the opportunity of the honeymoon to visit the West Sea to visit the parents of the Jade Dragon and the subordinates of the Jade Dragon when he was in charge of Dongting Lake.

Since the day when the Queen Mother approved her to accompany Yulong back to Dongting Lake to visit her old subordinates, Chang'e was eager to see the current "Dragon King" Tang Chunlan (female) of Dongting Lake! I want to know if the relationship between Yulong and Tang Chunlan (female) is like the legend of other gods and goddesses, and the emotional (male and female) relationship has been ambiguous for nearly a hundred years!

Bi Fujian and Jin Sheng, the two family members, after three generations of intermarriage, have all dissolved into the sea of people in this tribe. Bi Fujian and Wang Lihuasheng's twin eldest - Bi Gong, later married the granddaughter of the "Golden Age", who was Bi Fujian's and Park Mingzhu's "marriage" and the most literate golden power teacher in the tribe. Jin gave birth to a son, Jin Chenggong, and later married the granddaughter of Liao Kuan, the most literate teacher in the tribe, "Liao Ruo Chenxing". Jin gave birth to his daughter Jin Chengjiao, and later married the grandson of Fan Kaiwei, the most literate teacher in the tribe, "Fan Chip".

The world is full of things! The sea is crossing! During the ancient (Shang Dynasty) period of the Chinese land, the voice culture (named after the Yalu River) and the material civilization (wine-making technology, etc.) spread by the "civilization messengers" of the northern and southern tribes of the northern and southern tribes, that is, some of the "customs" of human existence in the Tianzigang area of Meitang in the south of the Yangtze River brought (and taught) by Bi Fujian, Wang Lihua, Jin Sheng, and Fan Xuefeng, although the world has changed for thousands of years. Today, the descendants of the two tribes have been passed down from generation to generation. And carry it forward!

Chang'e's mother-in-law and Jade Dragon's mother - Lulu. In the 'Commander's Suite' of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House, he told Chang'e and Guanyin Bodhisattva about the Jade Dragon's transformation into a 'palace young master' cultural saint - Bi Gan's son named Bi Fujian and the two reincarnations of life and death before being tempered in the tomb of Tianzigang, he asked Chang'e with a smile: "Chang'e, hearing now, you should know the reason why the Jade Dragon (Bi Fujian) of the Dao Dao (Bi Fujian) miraculously got the help of 'squirrels' and 'magpies' in the 'breaking through', right?" ”

"I think it's all the work of (Avalokiteshvara) Bodhisattva!" Chang'e replied with a loud laugh, and her mother-in-law Lulu said.

"'Envoy of the Beauty God', which is a test for me to test the Jade Dragon! I started deliberately letting 'squirrels' and 'magpies' on a pine tree washed away by the flood. If Yulong (named Bi Fujian at the time) didn't save him when he saw death, his future ending would definitely not be as happy as he was later! Guanyin said to Chang'e.

Chang'e, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Lulu are female gods (immortals). That night, in the No. 2 'Commander's Suite' of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House, after talking about the life and death cycle of the Jade Dragon (named Bi Fujian), it was more than ten o'clock in the morning of the Wing Day. The Jade Dragon and the King of the West Sea, King Ao Yan, were already waiting in the conference hall of the West Sea Dragon Palace Guest House.

After Chang'e, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Lulu and the female gods (immortals) got up, they discussed the next action plan of Yulong and Chang'e with Yulong and King Xihai Dragon King Ao Yan in the conference hall of the Xihai Dragon Palace Guest House.

"'Messenger of the God of Beauty', (Queen Mother) Niangniang sent you to take advantage of your honeymoon to return to the West Sea to prepare for the 'Elite Sutra on Buddhist Sutras' conference jointly organized by the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist world. Yesterday, the preparatory work for the meeting was almost ready! The specific time of this meeting (Queen Mother) Niangniang and (Rulai) Buddha have not yet been finalized! I'll do the rest with your father-in-law (Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea)! You can rest assured to accompany Yulong to Dongting Lake! Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e with a smile on his face!

"Chang'e, according to what (Guanyin) Bodhisattva said, I will take care of the rest of the preparations for the meeting! You can accompany Yulong to Dongting Lake to visit his old subordinates! Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, said to Chang'e with a smile on his face!

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, (Avalokiteshvara) Bodhisattva, the preparation of the meeting has been hard for you. I'll set off with the Jade Dragon in a moment. Strive to rush to Dongting Lake in three days. Chang'e said with a smile on her face to the Dragon King of the West Sea, Ao Yan, Lulu, and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Chang'e was anxious to rush to Dongting Lake, mainly because of her strong curiosity as a woman! After she married Jade Dragon. Especially after serving as the special assistant of the Queen Mother, I heard some scandals about Yulong during his tenure as the "Dragon King" in Dongting Lake! I heard the gods say: Tang Chunlan (female), who is now serving as the "Dragon King" of Dongting Lake, is the female adjutant of the "Dragon King" who has been elected by Yulong for two consecutive terms. Some gods said that she pursued the jade dragon back then, and chased her back to death! Some people say that she has worked with Yulong for a hundred years, and her work is tacit, which is related to her emotional (male and female) relationship with Yulong! Otherwise, how could Yulong try his best to recommend her to the Queen Mother to take over as the "Dragon King" of Dongting Lake when he was promoted and resigned? The Queen Mother approved Chang'e to accompany Yulong back to Dongting Lake to visit her old subordinates this time, and Chang'e was eager to see the current "Dragon King" Tang Chunlan (female) of Dongting Lake! I want to know if the relationship between Yulong and Tang Chunlan (female) is like the legend of other gods and goddesses, and the emotional (male and female) relationship has been ambiguous for nearly a hundred years!

"'Messenger of the Beauty God', have you thought about how to go to Dongting Lake? What are you doing at Dongting Lake? Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Chang'e with a smile on her face.

"I'll wear this costume and walk from the land to Dongting Lake with my husband Yulong! After three days to Dongting Lake, first take a look at the current Dongting Lake "Dragon King" Tang Chunlan (female)! After that, disguise (avoid the suspicion of traveling at public expense) to visit local scenic spots, customs and folklore; By the way, I also want to learn about the work between Yulong and Tang Chunlan (female). When I went back to heaven to report to (the queen mother) Niangniang, I would introduce more anecdotes about Dongting Lake. Make the mother happy! Bodhisattva, do you think I'm right? Chang'e said to Guanyin Bodhisattva with a smile on her face.

"'Messenger of the God of Beauty', if you really think so, it is that you picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelon. I can't really understand the true purpose of (the queen mother) Niangniang's approval for you to go back to the West Sea to visit Yulong's parents and Yulong's subordinates when he was in charge of Dongting Lake, and finally go to Yulong's 'dream and soul' Tianzigang! Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e with a smile on his face.

"Chang'e, (Avalokiteshvara) Bodhisattva is the most proud disciple of the Buddha! She had a foresight for the Buddha. Meticulous and thoughtful. How to properly comprehend the intent of 'domination'. The Bodhisattva has a wealth of experience! Chang'e. Now, as the special assistant of the (Queen Mother), you should learn from the Bodhisattva (Avalokiteshvara) in understanding the intention of 'domination'! Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, said to Chang'e with a smile on his face!

"(Guanyin) Bodhisattva, you can teach me, what is the real intention of (the Queen Mother) Niangniang to first assist you in preparing for the meeting and then accompany Yulong back to Dongting Lake to visit his subordinates when she approved me for my honeymoon this time?" Chang'e said to Guanyin Bodhisattva with a solemn face.

"'Messenger of the God of Beauty', (Queen Mother) Niangniang is a man who is absolutely as simple as people and gods imagine! (Queen Mother) Niangniang is very shrewd in using (human) gods and doing things, and she is also wise! The Queen Mother sent you to prepare for a meeting during your honeymoon, and approved you to accompany Yulong back to Dongting Lake to visit Yulong's old subordinates when he took office as the 'Dragon King'. The significance is not trivial! Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e thoughtfully!

Dongting Lake belongs to a "direct jurisdiction" of the "Sea and Lake Department" of Tianting. The 'Dragon King' (the official name of the Heavenly Court) who governs the Dongting Lake Directly Jurisdiction belongs to the three-grade level of the Heavenly Court! The first rank of the Heavenly Court is a marshal; The second-grade level is the head of the Ministry of Land, the Sea and Lake Department, the Alien Department, and the Otherworldly Department of each planet. The marshals of the first rank belong to the Standing Committee members of the Heavenly Court Command Group! The Jade Emperor is the supreme governor of the Heavenly Court Ruling Group; The Queen Mother is a member of the Standing Committee of the Heavenly Court Leader Group, and the division of labor is in charge of the Heavenly Court above the three grades of the Heavenly Court!

The title of "Dragon King" was originally an official name. In addition to setting up a 'regional committee' in the "southeast, northwest" and four seas, the chief of the "regional committee" in charge of the four seas is called "Lord Longwang"; In addition, there are also relatively large "lakes" (Dongting Lake, Chengyang Lake, Taihu Lake, etc. on the map of China) There are also 'regional committees', and the governors of the "regional committees" of the "directly governed lakes" are also called "Dragon Princes".

"(Guanyin) Bodhisattva, the Buddha once said to me, (Queen Mother) Niangniang, no matter whether she does things or employs people, she is far-sighted in her pursuit of multiple benefits! (Queen Mother) Niangniang sent me to accompany Yulong to Dongting Lake this time, what benefits are they pursuing? Chang'e said to Guanyin Bodhisattva with a puzzled face.

"'Messenger of the God of Beauty', according to the (Queen Mother) Niangniang's consistent style of doing things and the nature of the division of labor responsible for managing the heavenly officials, (Queen Mother) Niangniang approved you to accompany Yulong to Dongting Lake this time. There are at least two meanings: one is that (Queen Mother) Niangniang gives you a chance to go deep into the grassroots to assess the heavenly officials! I guess, when you asked for leave from the (Queen Mother) mother. (Queen Mother) has the mother taught you how to evaluate and evaluate the experience of heavenly officials! "Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e!

"(Avalokiteshvara) Bodhisattva, you guessed it right. Two days before I asked for leave, (the queen mother) Niangniang specially told me about how to evaluate, assess, and manage heavenly officials for half a day. She once told me that in the evaluation of heavenly officials, we should listen more and think more, and listen to the comments of people from different walks of life in an all-round way; Don't completely deny the reputation of a clean official just because of a bad thing that has been plotted by others; Don't make premature conclusions about clean or corrupt officials; Don't decide right from wrong on the spur of the moment; A clean official with outstanding political achievements can stand the test of time! The common people have a rod in their hearts: who is good and who is bad, they are the most sober in their hearts. Niangniang said to me: (You) must put down the shelves when you go down to the grassroots level to assess cadres. In public, ordinary people will ostensibly cater to the decision of their bosses, and when their bosses say that he is a corrupt official, they will call him a corrupt official. In ancient times, the court had a well-known image of a Qing official in the minds of the common people for 40 years, but was punished by the emperor for corrupt officials for a murderous matter. The common people can only discuss in private: Which Qing official, who has been famous in the minds of the people for 40 years, has become a corrupt official overnight! Why did the emperor look away by himself? No one dared to say in public that the emperor's punishment was improper. To evaluate cadres, you must put down your shelves and dissolve yourself into the common people, so that you can hear the common people speak their hearts to you. Niang Niang also said: Some human commanders have a high art of managing officials, and he can bring leaders of different political opinions and different ages together tightly, and teach his subordinates the idea of positive energy by word and deed; Seek truth from facts and publicize the achievements of officials to the public! Those who excel are promoted and reused, and those who do nothing abdicate; Those who make mistakes are demoted; Those who have been wronged are reinstated; Violators will be severely punished! The Queen Mother said: For the 'local parent official' who has a dispute between the common people and the 'public officials', he must evaluate his merits and demerits from all angles and from multiple perspectives! Some 'local parents' use government money to meet people's survival needs. Protect people's livelihood first. After engaging in construction. The common people said that he was a good ruler; Government officials say he doesn't pay them long. It has affected the quality of life of their group, saying that he is not a good official! The Queen Mother identified this kind of local parent officials who had disputes between ordinary people and public officials as officials who could be promoted and reused as officials who could be promoted and reused as members of the Standing Committee (Marshal of the First Rank)! The Queen Mother believes that serving as an official will benefit one party! For a handsome life, benefit the people! The common people want to be satisfied with enough resources for their own survival every day; Every day, 'public officials' think about how to have more houses and cars than others, how to have a wife (husband) and how to be satisfied! As a local parent official, it is right to think first about the survival of the common people. Regardless of the dynasty or generation, the ruling ruler works hard for the government (commander) in order to mobilize government officials. When determining (and adjusting at any time) the amount of subsistence resources obtained by government officials, it is many times higher than that of the common people of the same era! The Queen Mother said: The management of heavenly officials above the 'three grades' should be stricter, the requirements should be higher, and the punishment should be more severe! Because, the words and deeds of the heavenly officials above the 'three grades' can lead many ordinary people to advance in the direction of civilization and harmony, and the bad ones can mislead the common people to regress in the direction of ignorance and backwardness! The words and deeds of the heavenly officials above the 'three products' are related to and affect the development and backwardness of the heavenly court (human society)! Human society is originally composed of three religions and nine different classes, and it would not work without that class! Without soldiers, there is no need for officers; There are no students, and there is no need to teach Mr. Teach! Being an official, a commander, and a marshal is just a group of people who are responsible for management work in the division of labor in human society. The magnitude of the authority of the official is determined by the number of members of the society. The more people you command, the more power you have! So, the one who is in office. The greater the power, the greater the influence of his words and deeds on the people! The Queen Mother has stricter requirements for this kind of heavenly officials above the 'three grades' who are 'more powerful'! The Queen Mother said. As an official of the ruling class, the government pays you enough to support yourself and your family! Because no matter what class a person lives in, there is not much difference in the amount of resources needed to survive (rice, white flour, meat, vegetables) for about 100 years in his life. As a heavenly official above the 'three grades', the 'annual salary' and 'Fenglu' are enough for his life and his family! Therefore, when organizing the 'Ministry of Public Service' to study and formulate policies or decrees, the heavenly officials (commanders) above the 'three grades' must not be mixed with the slightest selfishness! Heavenly officials above the 'three grades' are not allowed to collect any extra wealth such as 'annual salary' or 'gold and silver caravan color' other than 'Fenglu' in the implementation of policies or decrees issued by the Heavenly Court! Some Tianguan (commanders) above the 'three grades' always want to make more extra money when they are in office, and save more survival resources for their children when they are alive! The result is to harm yourself, and even more harm to your children and grandchildren! Once the huge greedy person is verified during his lifetime, he will be removed from his post and imprisoned and sentenced to death! Once the huge greedy person is not verified during his lifetime, he will leave a huge amount of survival resources so that his children and grandchildren will live without hard work. His descendants have lost the natural law that human beings need to work all their lives to create and feed themselves, so as to maintain the natural law of human existence on the earth over and over again! After a few generations, the descendants of the giant greedy family will be eliminated by the basic law that human beings need labor to create wealth to survive on the earth (in the words of the common people: the huge greed will always have no children and grandchildren)! When you are an official, you must ensure that you have enough survival resources and can provide necessary survival resources for your parents, elders, wives, sons, and daughters! Children and grandchildren are blessed with children and grandchildren! Why worry about parents! Human beings are inherently one of the animal categories. Those animals are not born to work on their own for a living! The greater the contribution of the animal to the work of the group, the longer the life span of the animal. Chang'e said to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"'Messenger of the God of Beauty', this time (Queen Mother) Niangniang approved you to accompany Yulong to Dongting Lake, and the second meaning is to examine your ability to do things! If you don't tell me your original thoughts today, and really only go back to report some anecdotes about Dongting Lake to Niangniang as you said, the consequence is that (Queen Mother) Niangniang herself regrets that she has seen the wrong people and gods, how did she choose you as an assistant earlier! Therefore, when you go to Dongting Lake this time, you must clearly assess the political performance of the former Dragon Lord of Dongting Lake, Jade Dragon, and the current Dragon Lord - Tang Chunlan (female). After returning to the heavenly court, you have to report to the (Queen Mother) Niangniang on the achievements of the two Dragon Lords during their reign, so that (the Queen Mother) Niangniang will be happy when she realizes that she uses people properly. Only in this way will the (Queen Mother) Niangniang be satisfied with your trip to Dongting Lake! Guanyin said to Chang'e.

"(Avalokiteshvara) Bodhisattva, you are too shrewd! You're so right! (The Queen Mother) must have this intention! Can you briefly tell me how I should evaluate the political performance of the two 'Dragon Lords' of Dongting Lake? Chang'e said to Guanyin Bodhisattva sincerely.

"'Messenger of the Beauty God', you go to the common people to collect the achievements of the Jade Dragon. Through the evaluation of Yulong by the common people, the successor is indirectly evaluated whether he is competent! For example, listen to the common people talk about whether the policies and decrees issued by the Jade Dragon "Dragon King" when he was in power are all in effect; Listen to the common people talk about whether the "Dragon Lord" who succeeded Yulong can timely revise the outdated policies and decrees issued by the "Dragon Lord" of Yulong. Guanyin Bodhisattva said to Chang'e sincerely. (2014-3-20 Written at No. 183, Xingyuan Community, Tudian Street, Tongxiang City, Zhejiang)
