Chapter 24 Conferment
Wen Fei laughed a little, these guys served all the way from Tiandu Fort to this Luoyang City, and in a few months, they simply became Wen Fei's special orderlies. (By the way, Wen Fei used a few of them as orderlies, which once made people misunderstand that Wen Fei had a broken back orientation...... Naturally, the two sides are very familiar with each other, and even the lighting and sound arranged in Quy Nhon Garden were arranged with their help. But they didn't expect that they were also even more shocked by those scenes yesterday.
Wen Fei wasn't the kind of person to be approachable, and he always felt that it wasn't a bad thing to have these people in awe of him. I asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Qi Qi Immortal Master, those people outside were all impressed by the Immortal Master after listening to the Immortal Master's sermon last night. They all want to worship under the Immortal Master!" replied one of the orderlies.
Wen Fei sighed: "Go out and have a look!"
Although he was mentally prepared, when he went out, he almost surprised Wen Fei. I saw that outside the courtyard where I lived, there were all the heads of people in the black, and I didn't know how many people came.
When those people saw Wen Fei appear, it was like a crazy fan in the future who saw their own star appear, waving their arms, and shouting excitedly: "Immortal Master, Immortal Master......" Some people even cried and cried, tears raining down.
Fortunately, there have always been Western Army soldiers guarding the front of Wenfei's courtyard, and they formed a human wall like the bodyguards of those stars in later generations, separating those crazy fans. Otherwise, I'm afraid that these excited and crazy people can directly squeeze and tear down the entire courtyard wall.
Wen Fei, who was not mentally prepared at all, watched it for a long time, and suddenly called out quietly, as if his words were really magical. The crowd, which was originally noisy and excited, immediately quieted down.
It's just that some people crowded in front shouted: "Please give me the immortal master!"
When the people behind heard it, they also shouted: "Please give us the immortal master!"
This kind of scene has a natural herd xing, but after a few shouts, the sound becomes more and more neat, like rolling thunder, echoing. Originally, many of those officials who lived not far away were alarmed by this voice, and out of the reserve of their status, these people would only send servants out to investigate, and would never surrender their identities and huddle together with these lower ribas.
As soon as he heard the word "箮", Wen Fei couldn't calm down. In later generations, the Three Mountains Fu Gong was returned to Zhengyi, and the Heavenly Court was established. The power of the Dao professor was taken away by Zhengyi, and only Zhengyi had the power to grant the gong. But that was already a matter of the Yuan Dynasty.
And now it is the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the various factions do not belong to each other. Each has its own set of deities, and the same faction has its own system of conferring.
But Wen Fei was depressed, although he could pretend to be a ghost. But when it comes to conferring the urn, it's blind. It's not like after the modern era, even the heavenly court is selling official beards, as long as you give money, the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain will give you a penalty. As for whether it will work, God knows!
Conferring the title is equivalent to being granted an official position by the Heavenly Court. When you are alive, you have mana to use, and when you die, you can go to Heaven to be an official.
Wen Fei has discussed this issue with the people in the group before, this is simply digging a corner. Everything in the world is the same, scarce is expensive, and the more you have, the less valuable it is.
Moreover, the system of conferring the orthodox school is not reasonable and unscientific at all. There are only five levels, and the lowest level is the official rank of six or seven grades.
According to the regulations, "those who are required to be promoted and promoted must be promoted according to the merits of the Dao." It takes three years for all merit to be promoted to the power of the League, eight years for the promotion of the five thunders to the Sutra, and twelve years for the promotion of the five thunders to the three caves and five thunders; if there is no merit, it must not be promoted, and if the merit is outstanding or has made special contributions to the society (referring to helping the world, benefiting others, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, etc.), it can be promoted exceptionally. Those who have no merit and no virtue will be promoted in vain, but they will be sent by heaven.
This may seem like a restrictive approach, but it's complete. At least if you are promoted to the third-order Five Thunder Urn, as long as you have qualifications, it will take you twenty years, which is equivalent to the rank of third-rank official.
Of course, this official title has nothing to do with the human world, it is the official title of the heavenly court. As long as he is a Taoist priest (Zhengyi faction), after being conferred, at least after he dies, he will have a three-grade priest to do in the heavenly court. It is conceivable how many idlers will be raised in this heavenly court?
Generations of Taoist priests grow up again, and the priests of the heavenly court don't die after a few decades, right? Even according to Buddhism, the five decays of heaven and man, then at least tens of thousands of years later, decades and thousands of years later, right?
Think about it, when millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of third-grade priests ran to the Jade Emperor to beg for money. What will the Jade Emperor's face look like? God also wants incense.
Therefore, the system of conferring the conferment designed by the Zhengyi faction is completely a tragedy of a coffee table! And the major sects before the Zhengyi faction have never been so stupid.
In the Tang Dynasty, starting from the most basic Zhengyi Urn, the Shangqing Urn was the highest, with a total of 120 steps......
Comparing the dynasties in the world, the Northern Song Dynasty is the dynasty with the most redundant officials in history, and there is too much money to spend every year. That's why Wang Anshi changed the law.
That is, because there are too many people in the imperial examination, which is equivalent to conferring a urn, and once every four years, more than 100 people are selected in each subject. Coupled with Enke from time to time, and those who are in the shadows, so many people have to arrange job positions. All of them will take the money!
However, only a few grades of officials have been awarded to the new class of Jinshi, and the vast majority of people have climbed all their lives, and they will not be able to climb the third rank until they die.
One can imagine how worthless this heavenly court priest is!
Of course, these things have nothing to do with Wen Fei for the time being. Now so many people are begging him to give him a pen, and this is definitely not something that can be done casually with a pen and on paper.
However, Wen Fei didn't agree for so long, and those believers began to get excited again. Wen Fei had no choice but to say: "The matter of conferring the urn is not trivial, everyone go back to bathe and change clothes first, and purify your body and mind." Seven days later, I will be in Quy Nhon Garden again, and only those who believe sincerely can confer the Confession!"
I used such a delaying tactic to deal with the past!
After the crowd outside dispersed, Wen Fei suddenly sighed and became worried.
Driving everyone out, Wen Fei wandered around the room, sighing for a long time. If he was a pure liar who didn't understand the Tao at all, he wouldn't be so troubled at this time. Just draw a charm and send it to deceive people. But it was because he knew that the strict zhòngxing of this conferral made Wen Fei a little unsure of what to do. Do you want to go back to modern times and find the guys in that group to discuss? Wen Fei thought about it, did he veto this idea, I'm afraid they won't be able to help with this kind of thing, right?
