Chapter Twenty-Eight: Impassioned

Sure enough, when he heard about it, Zhao Ran thought about it, with Ye Yunxuan coming forward, this matter would definitely not be hidden—but there was really no need to hide anything.

Zhao Ran leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath, as if immersed in some kind of memory. Master Cui Dian, Lin Gaogong and Lord Xu Fang glanced at each other, their eyes were full of excitement, judging from Zhao Ran's performance, this problem should be a breakthrough!

Lin Gaogong tapped his fingers on the table, urging: "Abbot Zhao, we know this matter very well, don't have any delusions, you can honestly explain what it is." ”

Cui Dianzhu smiled and said: "Senior Brother Zhao, the main responsibility is definitely not on you, as long as you take the initiative to cooperate, we will definitely strive for the best result for you......"

Zhao Ran sighed, shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Cui, Lin Gaogong, and Lord Xu Fang, if you have been to Lizhou, if you really understand the truth of the matter, if you still have compassion in your hearts, you will never ask this question." ”

Lin Gaogong's face was a little ugly: "Abbot Zhao, what do you mean by this? The facts are already very clear, we still have witnesses, do you want to deny it?"

Zhao Ran said: "No, you don't know at all! You don't know how poor the people of Lizhou are! You don't know how poor the people there are! You don't know that the people there can only eat one meal a day! You don't know that the children there don't even have a pair of pants! You don't know that the old people there often choose to go to the old forest by themselves to starve themselves to death in order to save a meal for their children! You don't know any of this!"

Speaking of excitement, Zhao Ran stood up and walked around the house, saying as he went: "The sermon is not to sit in a clean and comfortable Taoist courtyard and point fingers, not to give orders to the words on the official documents, and not to pat your head and think about it casually! Only by going down to the grassroots level and seeing with your own eyes what kind of house the people live in, what kind of food they eat, and what kind of clothes they wear, can you truly understand their difficulties!" We, the preachers of the jungle in the ten directions, can only be anxious about what the people are anxious about, think about what the people think, and always worry about the people, and after resigning in the future, we will not be scolded by the people pointing at the backbone, do you understand?"

Lin Gaogong said: "Abbot Zhao, what do you say have to do with our problems? Don't talk about him, talk about him left and right!"

Zhao Ran turned around and pointed at Lin Gaogong and said angrily: "I'll tell you what it has to do with it now!" When I was in Ye Xueguan, I witnessed with my own eyes the hardships of my fellow Daoists in Lizhou, every grain of rice in the dishes was eaten cleanly, every bit of oil was added to the slightest, and every bone was broken before they were willing to give up! Each of them, the Taoist robes they were wearing, were covered with no less than a dozen patches! That time when they arrived at Yexueguan, they brought several truckloads of mountain goods with them, and I asked them if they were tired of carrying so many things along the way, do you know how they answered me?"

Seeing that Lin Gaogong didn't answer, he continued to ask Cui Hall Master and Xu Fang Master: "Do you know how they answered? I don't know, let me tell you, they only got to Ye Xue Pass by selling these mountain goods all the way!"

"Can you imagine the poverty of the people of Lizhou? In such a barren place and under such difficult conditions, the fellow Taoists in Lizhou have benefited from the poverty, and the people's respect for the Daomen has always been undiminished! However, the rule of the saints must also be solidified! If the Daomen cannot make the people of Lizhou live a good life, eat well and dress warmly, and when the people are not afraid of power, then the authority will be great!"

"I can tell the three of you without concealing that what my Junshan Temple gave was not 3,000 taels of silver, but 3,680 taels! These pieces of silver were not given to the Zheng Prison Yuan in Lizhou, nor to the Lu Jian Yuan in Ya'an, nor to the Lan Miao Zhu in Shuihe Village, these silvers were given to Junshan Temple's counterpart to support the Shuihe Temple, and were used to open up thousands of acres of medicinal fields in the Shuihe area! These medicinal fields are the cornerstone of the more than 2,000 people who are fed and clothed, the starting point for tens of thousands of people in Ya'an to rush to a new life, and the hope for the people of Lizhou to take off their poverty hats!"

If the three of them have prejudices in their hearts, they will be easily deceived! You can send people to Lizhou, Ya'an, and Shuihe to verify what I said, and see if any of them are false. Whoever insists on pulling the counterpart support of my Junshan Temple to the Shuihe Temple to buy votes with silver will cut off the livelihood of more than 2,000 people in the Shuihe area, and the hope of the people of Jue Ya'an and even the entire Lizhou, and they will have ulterior motives, they will be sinners of the Ming Dynasty, sinners of Daomen, and sinners of history!"

In the face of Zhao Ran's righteous and awe-inspiring words, the conversation trio looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

After a long time, Lin Gaogong said: "Of course, of course, well, of course we will send someone to learn more about ......"

Zhao Ran sat back on the chair, nodded and said word by word: "I'm waiting! I'm waiting for you to investigate and verify, and at the same time, I'm also waiting for you to give me an explanation, who is behind the scenes, regardless of the life and death of the people of Lizhou, and making false accusations, so as to achieve his ulterior motives!"

Cui Dianzhu coughed dryly and said, "Let's not talk about this question for now, let's continue with the following questions." These questions are all related to the Du Teng meeting, and we need to ask the relevant personnel to understand the truth. ”

"Please say, it's still the same sentence, but if I know it, I will definitely cooperate. ”

Perhaps influenced by Zhao Ran's impassioned statement just now, the next few questions of the conversation trio were all asked weakly, full of routine scenes.

"Someone came out and said that Du Teng would collude with Xixia to set up a caravan and open border trade, do you know about this matter, Senior Brother Zhao?"

"I don't know. After returning to Guyang from Ye Xueguan, I have not had any contact with Du Tenghui, and the preaching affairs in the Song Domain region are not something that I can interfere in at my level. ”

"Someone came out and said that there was injustice in Du Teng's handling of the affairs of the Ministry of Tibet, does Senior Brother Zhao know?"

Zhao Ran shook his head: "I also said just now, I have no right to ask about this matter, and I don't care about it, so I don't know." But I want to say a fair thing, is it also a problem to deal with the affairs of the Tibetan tribe unjustly? The Tibetan tribe is a naturalized people, and the situation of each ministry is extremely complicated, there are relatives and aliens, there are good and evil, there are those who are devoted to the Great Ming, there are those who are attached to the Western Xia, there are those who are honest and dedicated, and there are those who are stubborn and unbearable, and when formulating strategies, they are different from person to person, and this is not the correct way to deal with it? If this is also a problem, then no one will dare to loosen the feudal domain in the future. ”

At the beginning, the hall master Cui didn't think there was anything wrong with this problem, but after listening to Zhao Ran's "fair words", he couldn't help but slander in his heart, what kind of crime is this? It's just just a brain, and this kind of question has to be taken out for verification, isn't it embarrassing.

After that, the master of Cui Dian was even more absent-minded when he asked a question: "Someone came out and said that Du Teng would accept heavy bribes from the Ministry of Tibet, have you heard of this?"

Zhao Ran said helplessly: "Hall Master Cui, what can I hear about this? This kind of thing is better not to ask easily, for a high Dao at the level of the provincial view of the three capitals, it is very inappropriate to ask others to verify this kind of question." If there is no empirical evidence, this is tantamount to undermining the prestige of the Du Jian Yuan for no reason, so how can he preside over the sermon in the Song Domain in the future?"

This was the end of the conversation, and the fifth question that Zhao Ran had prepared in advance - Du Teng's sale of Taoist positions in Tianhe Palace, was not mentioned again by Hall Master Cui at all.

Hurriedly sorted out the conversation record, handed it to Zhao Ran to read on the spot, and after correcting a few mistakes and omissions, Zhao Ran signed the record and pressed his handprint.
