Chapter 65: Succession
After the initial determination of the world, Liu Xiu ascended the throne in Chang'an (in June of the 25th year of the official history, Liu Xiu ascended the throne in Yancheng). After the canonization of hundreds of officials, due to the observance of the agreement of the Gaozu Liu Bang period, non-Liu family was not allowed to be crowned king, Deng Yu, Feng Yi and other heroes were awarded the position of marquis general.
Divided the hundred officials and the princes surnamed Liu, Liu Xiu immediately granted amnesty to the world. Then Liu Xiu did something unexpected to everyone. He rehabilitated the Fangshi, saying that the first emperor was deceived by traitorous ministers. Before the death of the first emperor, there was an edict to rehabilitate the Fang Shi, because Wang Mang's chaotic government was not clearly issued. Now that the new monarch has ascended the throne, he naturally has to abide by the edict and rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the Fangshi.
There was a precedent of rehabilitating the Fangshi before, but that time Guangren and the Fangshi did not come forward. Therefore, this time, Liu Xiu rehabilitated Fangshi, and no official raised any objections. Everyone is waiting to see if the monks will ignore the emperor's decree this time as they did last time. Except for General Deng Yu, who came to meet Liu Xiu back then, no one knew that the current emperor still had something to do with Dafangshi.
Soon Guangren's side reacted, and a day later, Dafang Shi Guangren came to Chang'an City with hundreds of his fellow disciples. Under the arrangement of the ceremonial officials, Guangren led more than 100 monks to accept Liu Xiu's canonization in the main hall. It has been nearly a thousand years since the martial emperor Liu Che exterminated the Fangshi family, and it has been more than 100 years, and finally after Liu Xiuzhong revived the Han Dynasty, it has also been re-established again.
In addition to rehabilitating Fangshi, Liu Xiu also canonized the generous teacher Guangren as the Fuzheng national teacher. Although it was not the first time that Guangren had been canonized as a national teacher, he still used the excuse that the imperial court should abide by the tradition of abolishing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism passed down during the Wudi period. Since the Fangshi is also among the 100 schools, it is not easy for Liu Xiu to be able to restore the Fangshi family, and Guangren does not want to be too ostentatious and provoke other rights and wrongs. At that moment, under his strong resignation, Liu Xiu gave up the idea of canonizing the national teacher.
After the establishment of the Fangshi family, Guangren and the Fangshi did not stay in the capital. The day after the rehabilitation, Dafang Shi Guangren left Chang'an City with his disciples. Not long after returning to the sect. Fang Shi once restored the incense of the former heyday. How to say that the more a thousand-year-old brand, half a year later, people from all over the world who came to learn the Tao began to flow again.
Half a year after the establishment of the Fangshi Sect, the Great Fang Master Guangren suddenly summoned all the disciples in the Fangshi Sect to the sect. After all the monks arrived, Hirohito gathered all these monks in the main hall of the gods. In front of everyone at the moment, one thing was announced: "It has been almost two hundred years since I took over the Fang Shi Sect from the hands of the previous Dafang Master. Under the protection of the great masters of the past dynasties, although the Fangshi sect has been hidden for a hundred years, it has finally been restored today. ”
When he said this, Guangren sighed softly, and then he continued to say to everyone: "I have been in charge of the Fang Shi sect for more than two hundred years, and the number of years is already comparable to that of the previous Dafang Master. Today, Guangren will also follow the example of my teacher, Mr. Xu Fu, and pass on the generous master to his disciple Volcano......"
Hirohito said this, and the volcano's body trembled violently. Regarding the matter of passing on the Dafang Master, Hirohito did not discuss it with him in advance. Although halfway through hearing it, the volcano already had a faint premonition that Hirohito was going to pass on the position of Dafang Master. However, when he heard these words come out of his master's mouth, the volcano still trembled violently.
"Disciple don't dare, please Dafang Master harvest and die" At this time, the volcano was already soaked with cold sweat, and immediately knelt in front of his master, touched his head to the ground and said: "The disciple's virtue and magic have not reached the point of inheriting the position of Dafang Master, please continue to ...... Master"
"Volcano, have you ever seen a great master take back the decree?" After interrupting the volcano's words, Guangren paused, and continued: "The Great Fang Master passed it on to you, so I can cross the sea to find the former Great Fang Master. You said that you didn't reach the point of being a generous teacher, so why didn't I do it back then? Today, you will take the Fang Shi for me, so that I can go to my master. Volcano, this time it's your turn to fulfill my ......"
At this time, the eyes of all the monks in the main hall were staring at the pair of masters and apprentices. After a long time, the volcano, who was kneeling in front of Guangren, said in a trembling voice: "Since the mind of the Great Fang Master has been decided, the disciple will have the courage to succeed the Great Fang Master. If there is anything inappropriate in the disciple, please come back and continue to be a generous teacher......"
"Okay, I promise you......" As he spoke, Guangren had already handed over the token of the Great Generous Master to the volcano's hand, and after a pause, Hirohito got up and took off his Dafang Master's clothes and draped them on the Volcano's body. When Volcano really becomes a Dafang Master, he will customize his own clothes, but the exclusive accessories of Dafang Master will be taken off and brought on top of Volcano's new clothes
Before Xu Fu crossed the sea more than two hundred years ago, he also did it once when he passed it to the position of Dafang Division. It's just that 200 years later, it's his turn to make this move. Looking at the trembling body of the volcano, Guangren smiled slightly and helped the new Dafang Master up. helped him to sit in the position he had just done, and then he took the lead and led all the monks in the hall to bow to the new great master, and when he spoke again, the title in his mouth had been changed: "Fang Shi Guangren, pay homage to the great square master ......."
The monks followed Guangren and saluted the volcano, but among these monks, Guangyi, Guangyi, and his disciples all showed a look of disdain on their faces.
According to the rules of the Fangshi Sect, the power of the Fangshi Sect was already in the hands of the volcano at this time. All that remains is that the new Dafang Master Volcano will be visited by everyone alone, and the former Dafang Master can return to his residence to rest. Hirohito retreated from the main hall with great knowledge of the times, listening to the praises of the monks inside to the volcano. Thinking that they had said the same thing to themselves not long ago, Guangren felt like a world away.
At this time, Guangren could no longer go to the Dafang Master's room where he lived, just when he was about to find a place to meditate. I saw a few figures in the distance, and at this time, all the monks in the sect should be visiting the volcano. The one who can appear in the sect at this time, apart from him, there is no second alchemist.
However, Guangren had already guessed who these figures were, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gui, you are a guest from afar." You just happened to catch up with the new Dafang Master to succeed to the throne, why don't you go over to watch the ceremony? ”
"After calling you for so many years, I can finally call him by his name. Guangren, you still take off the clothes of the generous master and make it a little more pleasing to the eye. "It was Wu Mian and the four of them who appeared in the distance, and they wanted to bring the first disciple of Bait Island with them. However, Guangzhi is the first disciple of the Dafang Master of Bait Island, and he does not deal with the vein left by Xu Fu. He said that he would not come with him, and in the end, the four of them could only enter the Fang Shi Sect.
"I'm still familiar with you, old man, now a lot of people are congratulating the volcano, my old man is afraid of noise, so don't go to join in the fun." As he spoke, he took out a small jade trick from his arms. After throwing the jade recipe to Guangren, the old guy continued: "This is the return gift given to him by the second Dafang Master after the first Dafang Master Yan mourned the first pass on the position of Dafang Master. This was given to me by Yan Aihou in person back then, and today it will be regarded as a gift from my old man to give you the first generous master......"
Guangren took the jade recipe in his hand, remembering that the Fang Shi sect almost died in his hands, and he was in the middle again. When he was feeling mixed feelings in his heart, he heard a sentence from the monster son who might not be returned, which ruined his mood: "Old fellow, didn't you just pay back eighty dollars from the grocer?" Why did you return the gift with a generous teacher? Also, how many did you buy just now? Okay, next month, Lao Tzu's birthday, don't take out another one, and say that this love thing between you and my mother is so cheap Lao Tzu......"
