Chapter 24: Equilibrium

Zhao Ran didn't mention that there was anything wrong with the plan itself, but that it was likely to not be passed in the True Master Hall, and Mingyue Daoist immediately thought deeply.

Mingyue Taoist belongs to the "technical school" monks, who are good at the research and research of the Dharma Weapon Rune Sutra Literature, and have no experience in the above twists and turns, only because of the writing skills, this is the Oriental Heavenly Master, and he was caught on a business trip.

He is also self-aware and knows that he still has to listen to experts when it comes to policymaking, so there is nothing to be unhappy about. Who is the expert? Of course, it's Abbot Zhao in front of him! So he put aside his identity as a cultivator and said modestly: "Please also ask Abbot Zhao for guidance." ”

Zhao Ran hurriedly said: "If you can't talk about it, let's discuss it together." What I mean is that if we want to formulate a plan that is acceptable to the True Master's Hall, we need to first analyze why the original plan cannot be passed. ”

Mingyue Taoist immediately said: "The Heavenly Master explained to me, according to the principle of balance to formulate a plan, the day before yesterday in the Zichen Palace, I was also present, I listened to a lot of true masters' speeches, I feel that I have gained, this plan will be the original Daolu Division's various institutions yamen, various functions scattered, I feel that it is already very balanced." But the Heavenly Master said that it was still not enough. ”

Zhao Ran said: "Equilibrium is definitely right, this is the fundamental reason why the True Master Hall vetoed the original proposal, but how to equilibrium needs to be discussed." ”

Mingyue Daoren was puzzled: "What does it mean, how can it be balanced?"

Zhao Ran thought about the wording and decided to explain from the opposite side: "Let's put it this way, don't look at the fact that the True Master Hall vetoed Sima Tianshi's proposal yesterday......"

Mingyue Daoren smiled: "Actually, it's Zhiran's proposal, everyone knows it." ”

Zhao Ran said helplessly: "That's because I'm too young...... Let's get down to business, I heard that Guo Zhenren, Yu Zhenren, Xu Tianshi, and Wu Tianshi all voted in support of Dongfang Heavenly Master, but if this plan is not well drafted and cannot satisfy them, they will vote against it in the next time the True Master Hall is discussed. ”

Ming Yue Daoren suddenly said: "What do you mean by satisfying the interests of each of them?" and said distressedly: "But this is really difficult." Can't you think holistically?"

Zhao Ran said: "If it is a major matter related to the rise and fall of the Daomen, of course there is no problem, but the essence of this plan, we can see it as a banquet, there is no question of the life and death of the Daomen, what needs to be considered is to try to meet everyone's wishes, this is the essence of balance." ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ran took a piece of paper, tore it into nine parts, and wrote the words Kyushu Pavilion, Qifu Pavilion, Baojing Pavilion, Leixiao Pavilion, Sanqing Pavilion, Dongji Pavilion, Maoshan Mountain, Qixia Mountain, Xiaguan and other words, and said: "Let's take a look first, these are the places that have the right to speak on the meal, among them, who wants to serve it?"

Ming Yue Daoist stared at the nine pieces of paper and thought about it suddenly, and took out the Instrument Fu Pavilion first: "This plan has nothing to do with the Instrument Fu Pavilion, it should be ruled out?"

Zhao Ran nodded and encouraged: "The senior's words are true, it has nothing to do with the Talisman Pavilion itself, but it has to do with the two true masters sitting in the hall, we can divide it into two, Sima Tianshi will be placed in Maoshan Mountain, and Yang Zhenren will be placed in Qixia Mountain." As he spoke, he tore the piece of paper with the Qi Fu Pavilion written in half and placed them on Maoshan Mountain and Qixia Mountain respectively.

Ming Yue said: "Sima Tianshi is from Maoshan Mountain, I can understand this, what is the relationship between Yang Zhenren and Qixia Mountain?"

Zhao Ran said: "Because I will ask Yang Zhenren to stand on the side of Qixia Mountain to vote." ”

Mingyue Daoist was taken aback by this sentence, and when he looked at Zhao Ran again, he had a sense of awe.

Zhao Ran continued: "What do seniors think of the Treasure Scripture Pavilion?"

With Zhao Ran's previous analysis, Mingyue Daoist painted a scoop according to the gourd: "Baojing Pavilion doesn't seem to have anything to do with these restructurings...... Guo Zhenren, well, has a close relationship with Qixia Mountain, and must be on the side of Qixia Mountain. Oriental Celestial Master ......"

Zhao Ran said: "The Eastern Heavenly Master will stand on the side of Xu Zhenren this time, and what the Eastern Heavenly Master is seeking is not the authority in the plan, he only hopes that this plan can be successfully passed and implemented." ”

Mingyue nodded: "It makes sense." "Tear the Treasure Scripture Pavilion in half and add them to the Thunder Pavilion and Qixia Mountain respectively.

Now there are seven pieces of paper left on the table: Kyushu Pavilion, Lei Xiao Pavilion, Sanqing Pavilion, Dongji Pavilion, Xiaguan, Maoshan and Qixia Mountain.

Zhao Ran said: "Now let's divide the powers and responsibilities, the predecessors have talked about many functions in the draft plan, we can list them one by one, and write a note for each column." ”

Mingyue Daoist found some ideas and methods, and began to list them with great interest:

The first is to issue, register, and manage practice certificates.

Second, supervise and manage overseas monks.

Third, to build up a force that can deter and punish overseas monks who have violated the precepts.

Fourth, supervise the court.

Fifth, supervise the issuance of lottery tickets.

Sixth, train monks and abbots.

After Mingyue Daoren finished writing, Zhao Ran said: "Seniors can try it and see where those powers are allocated." ”

Mingyue Dao people weighed the relationship between the seven pieces of paper and the six pieces of paper, and scratched their heads for a while, especially the second and third items, and there seemed to be no way to balance the relationship between Lei Xiao Pavilion, Dongji Pavilion and Sanqing Pavilion.

If the most efficient and most in line with the current distribution method of the various cabinet functions is followed, the first three items should be assigned to the Shangguan Sanqing Pavilion, the Dongji Pavilion, and the Leixiao Pavilion, and the last three items should be assigned to the lower view, but in this case, what will happen to Qixia Mountain, which is more heavily supported? What about Zhou Zhenren and Song Tianshi's Kyushu Pavilion? What about Sima Tianshi's Maoshan Mountain?

Ignoring the back three places, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the True Master Hall to pass.

So he continued to humbly ask Zhao Ran for advice: "Abbot Zhao, how is this good......?

Zhao Ran was kind and instructive: "Then try to continue to split functions." ”

Mingyue Daoren shook his head, feeling that it was too ugly to dismantle it again, fragmented, and quite unpleasant, but he couldn't think of a better way himself, so he had to try to split it head-on.

He split it while Zhao Ran pointed out, and finally split seven institutions and fifteen functions.

The Daolu Division had two functions: to be responsible for the identification and review of the emperor's succession, and to supervise the court by participating in court meetings.

One of the functions of the lecture hall is to be responsible for the training of monks and abbots.

Yuanfugong has two functions: responsible for the management and supervision of spiritual entertainment projects, and responsible for the supervision of spiritual lotteries.

The three functions of the Jiming Temple are to be responsible for the issuance and management of practice certificates, to educate and guide overseas monks to believe in Taoism, and to issue maritime trade licenses.

The three functions of Chaotian Palace: responsible for the teaching of the imperial monks, responsible for the security of the imperial city, and the establishment of a rapid reaction force for rapid response to threats in the surrounding area.

Lingji Palace has two functions: it is responsible for the management of all kinds of cases that occur on land and involve overseas monks, and the construction of a land law enforcement force.

The Apparition Palace has two functions: it is responsible for the management of overseas affairs (excluding those that occur on land) and the construction of a force of monks who can be sent overseas.

Looking at the results of the split, Mingyue Daoren sighed: "Really...... It's messy......"
