Chapter 52: The First Year of Longqing
The first year of Longqing was held in the Fengtian Palace, and nearly 1,000 people participated in the Beijing civil and military officials, clan relatives and nobles, and representatives of the folk elderly, which can be described as solemn and grand.
As a representative of the Daomen in Beijing, led by Zhao Ran, the abbot of Wenchangguan and part-time abbot of Jimingguan, including Gu Tengjia of Wenchang Guanjian Yuan, Li Dayin, abbot of Xuantan Palace and Yuanfu Palace, Leng Tengxing of Xuantan Palace, Lu Xixing, envoy of Chaotian Palace, Wei Chaozong, envoy of Lingji Palace, Tang Yaozu, and Tang Yaozu, an old acquaintance of Zhao Ran, Zhao Zhixing.
In addition to the three laymen in the Ten Directions Jungle, three refiners and two archmages appeared in the Fengtian Palace.
This row of high roads appeared in the hall, making the atmosphere of the court meeting more solemn. According to Chen Hong, the master of ceremonies, this is the first time in decades that so many Xuanmen authentic and high-level masters have appeared at the imperial court ceremony.
Among the Taoist monks, originally only Zhao Ran needed to go to the court, but when Lu Xixing was young, he once thought about taking the road of the imperial examination, and was more interested in the affairs of the court, so he insisted on participating with Zhao Ran, "I want to see the world". Chaotian Palace wanted to participate, and the remaining two palaces were not far behind, and they all reported to Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran could only arrange them all. Later, when I thought about it, Yuanfu Palace should not be left behind, so I simply mobilized Li Dayin to participate.
At the end of the ceremony, the cabinet ministers sent a group of Taoist priests out of the palace and out of the palace gate, Zhao Ran and everyone nodded in greeting, and everyone dispersed, leaving only Zhao Zhixing.
Zhao Zhixing smiled at Zhao Ran and said: "Senior Brother Zhao is now very prestigious, and I can hear all the calluses in Jiangxi." ”
Zhao Ran asked: "Why did you suddenly come to Daolu Si to be the right seal? Didn't you do a good job in the position of the Jiujiang Mansion Supervisor?"
Zhao Zhixing said: "What is going on, I still haven't figured it out, I only heard that it was Zhang Tianshi who personally named me to come to Yingtian." ”
Zhao Zhixing's father is in charge of the next view, and the "heard" in his mouth basically means the truth, Zhao Ran couldn't help but joke with him: "What? Is it that your kid fell in love with the abbot of your family and was known by Zhang Tianshi?"
Zhao Zhixing sighed: "The fairy-like figure of the abbot of our family, where do we dare to see it? Senior brother, don't make fun of me." ”
Zhao Zhixing Jiajing was transferred to the Xingxian County Supervisor of Jiujiang Prefecture in 22 years, and it took seven years to be promoted to the Supervisor of the Sansheng Palace of Jiujiang Prefecture.
And the Jiujiang Three Holy Palace, like the Xuantan Palace and the Tianhe Palace, are all Dao Palaces with a high level, and the abbot of this Dao Palace is the Nine Girls of Longhu Mountain.
The Daolu Division is slightly lower than the Daolu Division in the Ten Directions Jungle, and is comparable to the Three Holy Palaces. Zhao Zhixing can be regarded as leveling the capital, but with such qualifications, his future path will be even broader.
When old friends meet, they want to reminisce about the past, although Zhao Ran is very busy, he still held a banquet in Jingyang Building and entertained Zhao Zhixing, which can be regarded as taking over the wind and washing the dust for Zhao Zhixing's performance.
After participating in the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, Zhao Ran had to fulfill his duties as the abbot of Wenchangguan, and held four Jiao ceremonies in a row.
Zhao Ran ran Zhai Jiao, who among the current Beijing teachers dared not come? Even Emperor Longqing did not fall on the scene, which shows that the popularity of his scientific rituals is so high that everyone is "happy and admired."
He also used the Jiao to make several daytime appearances, which made the incense clouds in front of Qixia Mountain, and the people flocked to it. It's a pity that Zhao Ran didn't invite the phantom of the immortal god deity to the mortal realm these times, and he couldn't hear the extremely high sentence "Who is in the lower realm", let alone answer freely.
Having seen the phantom of Nazhen Fairy Child descend to the mortal world once, he felt more and more bored with these phantom clones that were not essentially different from puppet statues.
Although the people are very willing to come to watch Zhai Jiao, but Zhao Ran soon felt that something was not right, every time the Wenchang Temple was led by the emperor, the cabinet scholars all participated, and the important ministers of the court were the backbone, and then ranked in order according to the grade, the eight grades below were arranged in the square in front of the view, the seven grades or more entered the view, the seven grades or more entered the view, the four grades or more climbed the stairs, and the three grades or more entered the hall, as for the real pilgrims and the people, they were all waiting on the side of the mountain road.
When it came to the fourth time, Zhao Ran happened to come out of the view, and saw the officials of Honglu Temple on duty sorting the officials in front of Wenchang Temple, and suddenly felt bored to the extreme, and dared to spend half a day to make Zhai Jiao, and these court officials were all regarded as the court.
This is the first month, and as usual, he is resting, so wouldn't he become a wicked person? Therefore, after this fasting, Zhao Ran stopped all the rituals of the first month.
Once, the emperor couldn't help but say to Zhao Ran: "Teacher, why don't you think about it again, and I will ask the Ministry of Rites to give you a less ostentatious honorific title?"
Zhao Ran immediately refused: "I've said it all, where is there a great mage realm to be a national teacher? Besides, you and I have to be low-key, and everything can't be too public." Okay, what the hell are you trying to say?"
The emperor said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the cabinet's vote on the folding, some of which I really feel should be discussed, but once the court has discussed it, Chen Hong always said that the decision of the court should be followed, I don't like it very much, I am the son of heaven, and I can't always let the ministers come to me." I want to be a heroic son of heaven, surpassing the emperors of the past dynasties. ”
Zhao Ran muttered: "It's good to get used to it, respect the results of the court discussion, this is a portrayal of Your Majesty's humble admonition, and it will definitely go down in history in the future." ”
What else did the emperor want to say: "But ......"
Zhao Ran interrupted him and said, "Does Your Majesty want to cultivate immortals?"
The emperor was pleasantly surprised: "I have this talent, and the teacher also has a way?"
Zhao Ran said: "Your Majesty remembers two things, one is to be pure and careless, and the other is to insist on strengthening your body. Less snack, more tempering your body. Poor Dao said that you haven't practiced your health preservation exercises, have you?"
The emperor was surprised: "I haven't practiced for some time. ”
Zhao Ran said: "Be sure to persevere, at least for a year, worry less about others, and when your body and bones get better, Poor Dao will teach you how to practice." ”
The emperor's eyes lit up, and he went down the mountain excitedly.
The day before the Lantern Festival, the infinite rosette of Sanmao Pavilion flew to the Jiming Temple again, this time, not only Zhou Keli and Ling Congyun were going to Dajun Mountain, but Li Dayin and Peng Yunyi were also going.
In addition, Su Chuanyao, Pei Zhongxi, Guo Zhiwei, Long Qingjian, Gu Kexue's master and apprentice, as well as the registered disciple Zhuge Jiaguang, etc., all had to return to the Zongsheng Hall to participate in the double cultivation ceremony of Wei Zhizhen and Tsing Yi.
Wei Zhizhen became famous all over the world after trying the four sword refiners, and there were not too many people who wanted to go to Daoxi, such as Wei Chaozong, Lu Xixing and others had already set off one step in advance, and Zhao Ran was at the end.
After waiting for a while, Lu Yuanyuan, the new Fa Lecture Hall Sacrificial Wine, was late: "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”
Zhao Ran said: "It's okay, it's all here, let's go!"
