Chapter 32: The Abbot and the Prison
Jing Zhimo smiled and sent the abbot out of the official office, and the two said goodbye with a smile. With a twist of his face, the abbot's face instantly turned pale, and he gritted his back molars and turned to leave, while Jing Zhimo also looked uncertain and brushed his sleeves back to the room.
The conversation just now was not pleasant, the abbot hoped that Jing Zhimo would support him in tomorrow's deliberations, and when discussing the duties of the supervisor of Wuji Academy, Dong Zhikun, the deacon of the house, took over as the supervisor of Wuji Academy, but Jing Zhimo cleverly avoided it between his words, and never got a clear commitment.
In the Daming Daomen, although the abbot is the lord of the Taoist Academy and the nominal speaker, it is not so simple whether he can really be the master. The Daomen clearly stipulates that the person in charge of the affairs of the Taoist temples, Taoist palaces, and Taoist courtyards at all levels in the Ten Directions Jungle is the post of supervisor, and the abbot only plays a role when major matters are undecided, and in the words of later generations, "cast a crucial vote".
In other words, the abbot does not care about specific affairs in his daily life, and only when there is a serious disagreement between the top management of the entire Taoist temple on a certain major matter, can he have the opportunity to make a final decision. When encountering a stronger prison, or a prison with strong control over the "Sandu" and the "Eight Deacons", the abbot will be reduced to a pure ornament, and he only needs to enjoy the nobility and leisurely travel in the forest and springs every day.
If you want to improperly furnish and fully enjoy the taste of power, you must look at your personal ability, either you have a big head and a hard backer, or you have deep qualifications and strong ability, in short, you must be able to "convince the public", and if you are a little worse, you have to obediently cat in the abbot's house, don't think too much about power, and point fingers at people, otherwise it is easy to hit your head and bleed. The former is like the old abbot of Wuji Temple, and the latter is similar to the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace.
Although Abbot Du is not very old, when he entered the Taoist Academy, he just caught up with the time when the word "Teng" and "Zhi" changed in the Daomen. The vast majority of Taoists who are abbots do not want to become decorations, and the same is true for Du Tenghui. He was able to be transferred to the West Zhenwu Palace as the abbot, of course, he had a big background and a strong backer, but unfortunately he had only been in the West Zhenwu Palace for more than half a month, and his ability was not very strong, at least in terms of qualifications.
In addition to not being able to convince the public due to qualifications problems, Jing Zhimo was also quite annoyed by Abbot Du's "ignorance of the rules", and he was also a little disdainful. The abbot of Xizhenwu Palace has never been easy to be, in the nine years since Jingzhimo entered Xizhenwu Palace, Xizhenwu Palace has changed seven abbots, and Du Teng will be the eighth, if this abbot adheres to this style of acting, Jingzhimo believes that the ninth abbot will come soon.
One qiē, just because there is an extremely strong prison in Xizhenwu Palace!
Zhang Yunzhao, the supervisor of Xizhenwu Palace, is fifty-eight years old, and is the only Taoist of the "cloud" character in Xizhenwu Palace, the uncle of the Taoist people of the "Teng" character who holds the real power in the palace, and the uncle and ancestor of the Taoist people of Jingzhimo.
Thirty years ago, Daomen fought a battle with Buddhist demon monks in Yashan Pass, Kuizhou, and that battle can be described as a shocking cry of ghosts and gods. The Daomen Zhengyi Sect and the Quanzhen Sect joined forces to dispatch a Great Heavenly Master, a Great True Man, three True People, and more than a dozen Great Refiners to set up an ambush to knock down the living Buddha of the Tubo State Teacher, Luxi Monk, a living Buddha who had opened the Six Consciousness Realms, and achieved a great feat that Daomen had never had in a hundred years.
At that time, the Taoist priests of Ziyang Academy in Xinning County, Kuizhou made great efforts and won the reward of the Taoist Gate Lushan General Temple, Zhang Yunzhao was one of them, and his brothers and sisters are now in high positions, almost controlling the entire Sichuan Province's Ten Directions Jungle - Li Yunhe, the supervisor of Xuanyuan Temple in Sichuan Province, is Zhang Yunzhao's senior brother.
With such a strong prison guard, it is not uncommon for Jing Zhimo to be unapologetic to the newly arrived abbot Du.
But the abbot is the abbot after all, Jing Zhimo sent the abbot Du out of the soft grinding and hard top, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, in order to be safe, he still decided to ask to see Zhang Yunzhao.
Zhang Yunzhao listened to Jing Zhimo's advice, sneered in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Master Du's nephew is from Hubei, appointed by the Lushan General Observatory, although his qualifications are shallow, but I heard that he is still capable of doing things, and his future is limitless. As the abbot of the palace, it is normal to care about the appointment and dismissal of the county Taoist courts, which is also common - a few of you should also help more to cultivate more talents for our Taoist sect, so that there will be no successors. ”
Jing Zhimo nodded and said, "The prison court said yes. ”
Zhang Yunzhao said again: "The affairs of the Daomen are all decided by the 'Sandu Deliberation', this rule cannot be abolished, Master Du's nephew is young, maybe he doesn't pay too much attention to his actions, you and Bai Tengming and Liao Tengqiao are more forgiving and tolerant, don't be with him in general." ”
"Yes. ”
After a pause, Zhang Yunzhao continued: "However...... Young people, it's a good thing that they can't be idle. When I went back, I talked to the eight deacons, and asked Master Du and his nephew to walk around outside, understand the people's feelings and opinions, and know some of the secular affairs of the Taoist palace and Taoist courtyard. It is better to add some burdens to young people, and not to waste them in the abbot's office, I think, this is also the original intention of the Lushan General View to train young people. ”
Abbot Du is nearly forty years old, but he is still called a "young man" by Zhang Yunzhao, which makes Jing Zhimo laugh secretly, and said in his heart that this Abbot Du is in trouble today, and said: "Don't worry, we will do our best to help." ”
When it was over, Zhang Yunzhao suddenly said: "The matter of Wuji Courtyard is not easy to delay any longer, and tomorrow I will convene the 'Sandu Meeting' to settle the matter." Well, inform the abbot and let him participate. ”
Jing Zhimo was stunned: "The prison is ......"
Zhang Yunzhao smiled and said, "Go ahead, just do as I say." ”
Early the next morning, while still asleep, Du Teng was awakened by a knock on the door. With a hint of anger, he lay on the bed and did not get up, and asked, "Who knocked?"
Outside the door, he said: "Is the abbot up?" The prison sent the teacher and nephew to come to communicate, today's 'Sandu Deliberation', to discuss the appointment and dismissal of the Wuji Academy, please refer to the abbot together." ”
Du Tenghui wondered in his heart and said in surprise: "'Sandu Deliberation' invites me to participate?"
Outside the door, he said: "Exactly, please go to the abbot, the prison and the three are waiting in the main hall of the prefect." ”
Du Teng didn't know what to do, but it didn't prevent him from getting up quickly, and after a simple wash, he changed into a Taoist robe and walked away quickly with the Taoist priest who was spreading the word outside the door.
When I entered the main hall of the original prefect's mansion, I saw Zhang Yunzhao of the prison office, Liao Tengqiao, the chef Liao Tengqiao, the capital Guan Jing Zhimo, and the two deacons of the patrol and the Zhike were already seated.
Being able to participate in the Sandu Deliberations, Du Tenghui's own family was also quite surprised, but this phenomenon at least shows that his status in the Xizhenwu Palace is playing a subtle role. No matter what the ideas of Zhang Yunzhao and Sandu of the prison court are, being able to participate in the deliberations of Sandu is the best opportunity to meddle in the power of Xizhenwu Palace.
Du Teng will be full of joy, sit down in the main seat in the middle, look at the people in the hall, and say with a smile: "It's too late, you continue." ”
Zhang Yunzhao smiled and said: "The abbot is ordered by the general view of Lushan, and he is from the big province of Hubei, and his vision and talent are not comparable to those of us in wild and remote places. Since the Battle of White Horse Mountain, my Sichuan Province colleagues have worked together to resist the enemy country of Western Xia, and the West Zhenwu Palace is located in a key position, shouldering a heavy responsibility, and the responsibility is not small. Now that the abbot has heard the news, I am greatly relieved. ”
Du Tenghui said humbly: "Where is it, the Zhang Prison Yuan has a good reputation, and I need more help from you." ”
All the Taoist priests in the palace said in unison: "There is an abbot of Lao!"
After the greetings were over, Zhang Yunzhao said: "Today, we will discuss the appointment and dismissal of the various divisions of the Wuji Institute in Guyang County, Zhong Xunzhao, you can talk about it." ”
When the three capitals of Daomen deliberate, the three deacons of the dormitory patrol, the guest hall and the high merit of the hall can attend and participate, but have no decision-making power. Although it is impossible to make decisions, being able to participate in deliberations is itself a system for training young Taoist priests to take over high positions, so the Prison House is selected from among the three deacons. At the same time, there can also be the rest of the deacons in the relevant deacon's room, but the Xizhenwu Palace, which is in charge of the appointment and dismissal documents, was killed in the battle of Baima Mountain, and it has not yet been elected, so the house is temporarily built by the inspector.
Zhong Xunzhao had already held a list in his hand and immediately said: "Today, it is decided to decide the two functions of the West Zhenwu Palace Gaogong and the Wuji Academy, and at the same time verify the three functions of Wuji Academy's patrol, Gaogong and Dianzao. After checking the records of the various duties in the palace, Jiang Zhibiao, who has a high merit in the scriptures of Wuji Academy, has profound attainments in scriptures, is proficient in Zhai Jiao scientific rituals, and has a good way to teach Taoist children, and intends to be elected as a senior merit of Xizhenwu Palace......;
After a pause, Zhong Xunzhao continued to say loudly: "After the 'Sandu Deliberations' of Wuji Academy, it is planned to raise the house Zhang Zhihuan to enter the squatter house as a patrol photo, Liu Zhiguang to take the high merit of the scripture hall, and Chen Zhizhong to enter the hall to build the house as a pawn, above." ”
After reading, Zhong Xunzhao looked at the abbot, the prison and the three capitals, this list was approved by the old abbot of Wuji Academy, Zhong Tenghong naturally knew the details, but he had no decision-making power, so he could only wait for the decision of several big people in the hall.
Zhang Yunzhao nodded and said, "Let's discuss it." ”
Thanks to Brother Yangzhigang for the reward.
