Chapter Twenty-Six: A Little Far

Zhao Ran continued to tell the story that had to be told between him and Du Tenghui.

"Since that time, until the first month of the twentieth year of Jiajing, I have never seen Du Tenghui. ”

"I've never seen him for more than four years, but he's the abbot of the West Zhenwu Palace. In this regard, Lin Gaogong expressed puzzlement.

Taking advantage of Lin Gaogong's question, Zhao Ran began to tell the story in the story: "Since the death of Zhang Jianyuan, I accepted the appointment of Wuji Yuan and went to the Junshan area to set up a new Taoist temple. The Junshan area is deserted, there are no people, and I am ordered to ...... danger."

Lin Gaogong couldn't help but question Zhao Ran's original intention of "accepting orders in danger" again, but Zhao Ran didn't bother to take care of him this time, and continued to tell the story of how he led a group of displaced people and disaster victims to pioneer with difficulty, how to build the wilderness and jungle into a beautiful home with a rich life, and then became the first Taoist temple-level preaching area in the entire Sichuan Province.

Under Zhao Ran's extremely powerful flickering powers, the conversation trio present, even Xu Fangzhu, who had a grudge against Zhao Ran, couldn't help but join in the heated discussion.

For the "three major projects" in the Junshan area, such as charity funds, rural mutual aid and cooperation, and road construction, the four of them got together to study the pros and cons, analyze the shortcomings, and summarize many valuable and creative ideas.

After the discussion, Cui Dian's idea was still unfinished: "Senior Brother Zhao is worthy of being a capable person in the world! No wonder Junshan Temple can leap to the first place in the credibility ranking of Sichuan Province, it is really its origin, and it has gained a lot today." ”

Lin Gaogong also praised: "A Taoist temple, the people are rich, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the credibility value reaches more than 300,000 gui, as far as I know, not only Sichuan Province, but also the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and Thirteen Provinces, it is enough to rank in the top five!"

Xu Fang said: "I heard Abbot Zhao say just now that the people in the Junshan area spontaneously formed a village protection team to fight bravely with bandits and defend their homes, this experience is really worth referring to, and it is of great reference significance to our Jiujiang Mansion, and we will ask Abbot Zhao for benefits when we go back!"

Zhao Ran asked: "Oh, you also have bandits in Jiujiang? This is at the foot of Lushan Mountain." ”

Lord Xu Fang sighed: "Where in the world are there no thieves? Our Jiujiang River is adjacent to the big river, and on the shore of Poyang Lake, there are really many water thieves." ”

So, Zhao Ran and Xu Fangzhu began to discuss the matter of controlling the water bandits again.

It wasn't until the sound of the bell chime in Yunshuitang rang that it was time for dinner that the trio left Zhao Ran's small courtyard happily with the materials that had recorded countless pages.

As they walked out, the three of them discussed.

"I guess I can do this......"

"Abbot Zhao is really a great ruler of the world, why didn't I think I could do this......"

"No, what Abbot Zhao meant, is that he should do that......"

"You don't understand the truth, there are drawbacks, you can't do it too hard, you have to be free to retract and control, and master the rhythm of fast and slow, in order to really do the effect and achieve results. For example......"

"That's not necessarily, as long as you have a clear goal when you do it, you can hit it with one hit, and you can do it to the point......"

It wasn't until they came out of Yunshui Hall that the three of them suddenly stopped together, looked at each other, and suddenly couldn't speak.

After a long time, Hall Master Cui waved his hand weakly: "Let's disperse today, cheer up tomorrow and ask questions." ”

The next day, the conversation trio met first, and Cui Dianzhu said: "We can't continue to ask like this step by step, and if we continue to talk like this, we won't be able to finish talking in ten days and half a month." My opinion, from today onwards, will go straight to the point and ask him about Ye Xueguan's public push. ”

Lin Gaogong nodded: "Agreed." ”

Lord Xu Fang sighed: "It's okay......"

After discussing the day's interrogation strategy, the conversation trio appeared in front of Zhao Ran again.

"Senior Brother Zhao, let's not talk about anything else today, when we talk, please try to talk about our problems, okay?"

"What Senior Brother Cui said, I have always talked about your question, Senior Brother. ”

"Well, let's both pay attention anyway, okay? try to save time, mine and yours. ”

"Of course that's fine. ”

"So, continuing with yesterday's question, you and Du Teng haven't seen each other for more than four years, what other reasons are there - you have served as the Jing Lord and Fang Master in Wuji Courtyard for more than a year, and you have been in the Junshan Temple for more than a year, and there are still two more years?"

"My construction in Junshan lasted for about a year and a half, and everything was gradually straightened out, and I didn't need to deal with many trivial matters, and I had the Taoist priests in the temple under my command to worry about it. In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Jiajing, I was transferred to serve in front of the White Horse Mountain Army, and I did not return to Junshan Temple until the nineteenth year of Jiajing. I can't go into detail with you about the process, it's a military secret. ”

Hall Master Cui frowned: "What you said is true? If you hide something during this time and can't say it clearly, it will be bad for you, me, and everyone." ”

Zhao Ran said categorically: "Who am I? Can I tell lies to coax you? Can I hide this kind of thing? If you don't believe it, you can write to ask Xuanyuanguan, when Ye Xueguan was in the big meeting, I also took the stage to receive the award as a meritorious person in the war. ”

Hall Master Cui nodded: "Okay, we'll go and verify." So, let's talk about, well, according to you, about the time of the second meeting with Duten. ”

"The second time we met was at Ye Xueguan's meeting, at the end of the first month of last year. To be honest, he and I didn't say a few words in total."

"Senior Brother Zhao, the following questions need you to think carefully about it, and you must not conceal it in the slightest, let alone have the slightest falsehood. ”

"Senior Brother Cui, you just say hello, I know it in my heart. ”

"A few days before Ye Xue Guan pushed it, did the two of you meet in private?"

Zhao Ran smiled after hearing this: "Du Teng's grievances with me, half of the Sichuan Province colleagues are clear, even Senior Brother Jing Zhimo knows, how can Du Teng and I meet in private? He is an abbot of the palace, I am a small temple Zhu, the level gap is too big, how can we meet? What do you talk about when you meet? Senior Brother Cui, the three of you are all seniors who have been in Daomen for many years, do you still need to ask me about this?"

Cui Dianzhu continued to ask: "Someone reported that the night before the public push, you were in the surrounding activities and canvassing for Du Teng's meeting, is there such a thing?"

Zhao Ran did visit many people that night, so it was difficult to deny it, so he said generously: "I have to visit many people every night, and almost all the colleagues who participated in the big meeting are like me, and they meet each other every night. Isn't it normal for everyone to finally get together, walk around with each other, and communicate with each other? Why do you have to go to canvassing? I have personally seen Senior Brother Jing Zhimo visit the Liu Prison in Chongqing Mansion, is that Senior Brother Jing Zhimo also canvassing for votes?"

Cui Dianzhu said: "Then how do you explain that when the next day is announced, you want to nominate Du Tenghui?"
