Chongxuan Ling looked at Li Lezhi in surprise, then turned his head and looked at Chongxuan Cheng.
Then, Chong Xuan ordered: "We don't handle this here."
Li Le was confused. They had just asked him which Taoist temple he was from, but when he told them his name, the two officials changed their tone and said they would not process his application. Was his name taboo? Or did he go to the wrong place?
This was the place Qian Xi brought him to last time, he should be remembering it correctly.
Li Le only asked cautiously: "Isn't this the Chongxuan Office?"
"Come on, come on, why are you so talkative?" Chongxuan Ling certainly wouldn't say explicitly that this was not the Chongxuan Office.
They only wanted to drive Li Lezhi away. He left on his own and it had nothing to do with them what happened.
These two people have the wrong attitude.
Li Lezhi could tell that the two men were targeting him. When he entered the door, they asked him which Taoist temple he was from, but when they heard his name was Li Lezhi, their attitude changed.
Someone greeted him, and you don't want him to report successfully?
Who is it?
He didn't remember which official he had offended. Could it be that the original owner had offended him?
Li Le thought about it again and felt that it was impossible. If the original owner really offended an official, Governor Qian should have told him, unless the official he offended bypassed Governor Qian and ordered the people in the Chongxuan Office. If he really offended such a high-ranking official, it would only take a word to take his life. Why make so much trouble?
Could it be the political enemy of Governor Qian?
Do you think that you are valued by Governor Qian, and since you cannot deal with Governor Qian, you are going to use it against yourself?
"I don't know whose orders the two adults followed to target me, Li Lezhi." www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
Li Le just finished saying this and then he paid attention to the expressions of the two people. Seeing that they looked shocked, he knew in his heart that someone must have arranged it.
Chong Xuanling and Chong Xuancheng looked at each other, both of them were shocked, as if they had not expected that the Taoist in front of them would know that they were obeying orders from their superiors.
Then think about the identity of the Taoist in front of you.
Could it be that this Taoist priest had calculated all this?
It did not seem worth it for them to offend such a powerful person for Sima Zhao. Also, if the Taoist figured out that they had taken bribes and reported it to the higher-ups, even if Governor Qian had no power to manage them, if they angered Governor Qian and he reported it to the higher-ups, they would still be held accountable.
Chongxuan Ling began to hesitate whether to process the matter for this Taoist priest.
Chong Xuan Cheng pulled Chong Xuan Ling's sleeve, and the two walked to a secluded place, only some distance away from Li Le. After ensuring that he could not hear, Chong Xuan Cheng spoke: "Sir, although this matter was arranged by Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao is backed by the Xia family. No matter how powerful Governor Qian is, he dare not offend the Xia family."
Chong Xuan Ling lowered his voice and said, "This Taoist is a capable man. If we don't have any evidence against him, it would be fine. But if we really anger him and he figures out that we accepted money from Sima Zhao, and this matter gets out, how can the Xia family protect us, the minor officials?"
Chong Xuan Ling was also very clear that they certainly did not dare to offend Governor Qian, but they were in Yangzhou after all, and the Taoist in front of them was not someone to be trifled with. If the Xia family did not want to offend Governor Qian, it was possible that they gave up on him.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chongxuan regretted deeply. The money he had accepted had become a hot potato. Originally, they were living well in Yangzhou. Although he held a low position, he was happy with his leisure time. It was his fault that he could not control his greed and thought it was a trivial matter, just a matter of restraining a wild Taoist priest. How difficult could it be?
Who could have thought that this wild Taoist priest would actually cling to the thigh of Governor Qian, and they had no choice but to take up the post. ?
Originally, I wanted to embarrass the wild Taoist priest... but who knew he was a real capable man, and he figured out their affairs in one go. ?
Giving Li Le a handicap would mean offending Sima Zhao, and offending Sima Zhao would mean offending the Xia family. He is the right prime minister, and whether he will lose his official hat depends on a word from the right prime minister. ?
Whether he died early or late, he still wanted to take the path of immortality.
?Feng Chui Lin An's work "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a National Master"??, domain name [(.)]$?$??
Chong Xuancheng didn't know what to do, and was in a dilemma, so he had to ask Chong Xuanling: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Chong Xuanling had no idea that he was now extremely conflicted and didn't know how to make a choice that would be beneficial to himself.
He is just a minor official, how did he get involved in the fight between bigwigs?
Chong Xuanling took off the black gauze hat on his head, hugged it to his side, sighed and said, "That's it."
He took off his black hat and walked in front of Li Lezhi and said, "Your affairs are not something that we, the small officials, can decide. You should think about whether you have offended someone you should not offend. If that person does not give in, it will be difficult for us to deal with it."
Without his official hat, he is no longer the Order of Chongxuan, but just an old man over fifty years old. What does the dispute have to do with an old man like him?
Let them fight, and whoever wins will do his job according to the rules, and no one can find fault with him.
"I'll remind you again, since you are a Taoist priest, if you want to bypass the people above you, there is still a way to go. Find a famous Taoist temple to guarantee you. We will act according to the rules and will not make any mistakes."
Li Le was still thinking about whether he should ask Governor Qian to take action and get the matter done bypassing his political enemy when he said these words.
This scene really reminds Li Le of the poor little guy who is surviving in the cracks between the big guys' fight, and it makes him unable to get angry.
Alas, when the gods fight, the little devils suffer, and there is no need for him to make things difficult for the grassroots staff.
This kind of thing was not something they could decide, although he was a little angry because he had been rejected before.
But the other party had a good attitude and explained the reasons to him clearly. If he continued to pester them, he could not let them risk losing their official positions to do things for him. As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
He was also a small boat involved in the officialdom struggle.
If the wind and waves are strong enough, the boat can capsize.
"I appreciate your kindness. Before I came here, I had already found a Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple to act as a guarantor. Can you report it?"
Li Le only handed over the letter of guarantee written by Qingyun Temple.
Chong Xuanling took it and took a look, and found that it was indeed the guarantor of Qingyun Temple. He looked at Li Lezhi in surprise, and his level of power increased several levels. The person who could get the guarantee of Qingyun Temple was not an ordinary person.
It's not someone they can afford to offend.
Unfortunately, even with the guarantee of Qingyun Temple, they dared not take the risk. Unless a Taoist priest from Xuanyang Palace came forward, they dared not use excuses to fool the Right Prime Minister.
"It's not enough," Chongxuan Ling shook his head and returned the guarantee letter to Li Lezhi, "You don't have to go to Governor Qian. Governor Qian is a local official. Even if the Chongxuan Office is in Yangzhou, it is not under Governor Qian's jurisdiction."
He almost told Li Lezhi directly that he shouldn't waste his time here, as he had to go to the capital to report.
Of course, Chongxuanling would not directly ask Li Le to just go to the capital. He has made it very clear that whether he can realize it or not depends on his personal opportunity.
And Li
Le Zhi also clearly understood the meaning of Chongxuan Ling.
His problem was not something that Governor Qian could solve.
So,
Were the people who targeted him really political enemies of Governor Qian?
Li Le was just very skeptical.
Could it be someone he offended?
He has only been in this world for a few months.
The highest-ranking official I have ever met is Governor Qian, and he shouldn't have brought himself into such a big trouble.
Li Le only secretly told his own fortune.
At this time, a man walked in from outside, with his hands behind his back and a serious face. When he saw Li Lezhi standing there with his head down in deep thought, his eyes lit up and a smile instantly appeared on his serious face. He smiled and said, "My little friend, I didn't expect that you and I are so predestined to meet here."
The person who came was Xuan Yangzi. After he separated from Li Lezhi a few days ago, he couldn't sleep at night. He thought about it for a long time and didn't want to let go of this good seedling Li Lezhi. However, Li Lezhi's life was too precious, and even he could hardly calculate it. There was no way. He wanted to know which Taoist temple Li Lezhi learned from, so he could only come to Chongxuan Office to check.
After knowing which Taoist temple he was practicing in, he would visit him from time to time and secretly teach Li Le a few tricks. He would not let such a good talent be ruined.
As soon as he stepped into the Chongxuan Office, he heard people inside saying that the Chongxuan Office was not under the jurisdiction of Governor Qian. Xuan Yangzi was still curious about what had happened, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a familiar figure. It was the good seedling he had been thinking about all night.
Li Le only saw the old man and was also very surprised. He saw the old man in Chongxuan Office after not seeing him for a few days. He smiled and said, "Old man, are you here to report as well? We were in a hurry to say goodbye last time, and I don't even know your name."
"Report? What's going on?" Xuan Yangzi looked at Chong Xuan Ling with calm eyes. Although he didn't say anything, there was a smile on his face. Chong Xuan Ling could also feel the huge pressure.
As someone who knew the old man's identity, Chong Xuanling's heart was already in turmoil. He didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He quickly put on his black hat, and secretly glanced at Li Lezhi with resentment.
If you say that you know Taoist Xuan Yangzi, I am just an eighth-rank official. Even if You Xiang Xia is putting pressure on me from behind, I would not dare to stop you from reporting.
But Chong Xuanling could only keep these words in his heart and dared not say them in front of Xuan Yangzi.
He said in a businesslike manner: "This Taoist priest is here to report."
He was in a dilemma about how to address Taoist Master Xuan Yangzi. He didn't know whether Taoist Master Xuan Yangzi had hidden his identity or not. It seemed that Taoist Master Li didn't know Taoist Master Xuan Yangzi's identity. If he pointed it out, wouldn't it ruin Taoist Master Xuan Yangzi's plans?
"Yes, I am here to report it, but I didn't expect that even the guarantee from Qingyun Temple wouldn't work. I am just about to go back and think of a solution."
Li Le just took over the conversation and said to the old man. From Chong Xuanling's unusual attitude, he realized that the old man in front of him might not be the old man playing real-life cosplay as he thought. Could he be a high-ranking official who came to Yangzhou to investigate in secret?
Li Le was just thinking divergently. He was not sure about the old man's identity, but that didn't stop him from saying so in front of the old man, just in case it could help him solve the problem at hand.
"Has your master Tianjizi ever come to report?"
Xuan Yangzi frowned, feeling deeply fortunate that he had come and that he had met a good talent. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable if the good talent had been abducted by a liar and their Taoist sect would have lost a genius.
Li Lezhi: “…”
Since the master is not here, there is of course no way to report it.
"I want to report it.
There is a Taoist temple. "?
"Oh? My friend, you have a Taoist temple now? Do you have any proof?"
Xuan Yangzi couldn't believe that the good seedling he found could actually open a Taoist temple. It takes a person with real ability to succeed. Building a Taoist temple is not a difficult task, but it requires the approval of the county magistrate and the guarantee of the Taoist temple. Under these two levels, update, remember [(.)]10?10#?#?10
"Yes," Li Le only took out the documents and the guarantee letter from Qingyun Temple. ?
Xuan Yangzi took a look and found that they were all genuine and could not be faked. They indeed met the requirements for reporting.
"Yes, they are all very comprehensive. I was wrong. I thought you had not yet entered the Dao. Your master is very good. He can teach a disciple as powerful as you. My disciples are far inferior to you."
Chongxuanling and Chongxuancheng were listening on the side, and they almost dropped their jaws in shock. Li Le could only know that Taoist Xuanyangzi knew them, and his heart was shaken, as if the earth was shaking. Now he heard Taoist Xuanyangzi praising Li Le and saying that his disciples were not as good as him.
The disciple of Taoist Priest Xuan Yangzi is a worshiper in the palace and is highly valued by His Majesty. Such a person is actually not as good as the insignificant and unknown Taoist in front of him.
It is conceivable how much of a shock this caused to the two of them.
Chong Xuanling swallowed his saliva. At the age of fifty, he had seen a lot of ups and downs. In his entire life, he had never encountered anything more outrageous than today.
He seemed to have almost offended someone who should not be offended.
Fortunately, fortunately, he had seen all sorts of things and did not completely fall out with Taoist Li. Otherwise, after knowing this, Right Prime Minister Xia would not have protected him.
The damned Sima Zhao is not just an unknown Taoist priest, but a charlatan who specializes in cheating and deceiving people!
Do you really want Zhao Sima Guo to be a charlatan?
What's wrong with the wild Taoist priest? He is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he lives in seclusion in the world and doesn't want to be known by the court.
How can we ordinary people guess what the other person is thinking?
Order Chongxuan cursed Sima Zhao in his heart.
Li Le was even more confused than Chongxuan Ling and Chongxuan Cheng. He didn't know why the old man said these words, and there was a disciple? So the old man was not the high official he thought, but also a Taoist priest?
In a daze.
Before Li Lezhi could figure out the situation, he heard Chong Xuanling say, "Master Li, do you want to report it?"
Chong Xuanling asked carefully in a very low voice, not daring to speak too loudly for fear of disturbing Li Lezhi.
After taking the document from Li Lezhi, he and Chong Xuancheng immediately moved quickly, flipping through the files on the table, stamping them, writing another document, and asking Li Lezhi if he had another blank document with a stamp.
Li Le just took it out of his arms, and when he took it out he glanced at the old man.
It always seems like breaking the rules to show a blank document with a stamp on it in front of others.
Xuan Yangzi saw it, but he didn't say anything. This kind of thing is normal. Who would waste time going back and forth just to get a stamp? That would be too troublesome. Moreover, if urgent matters really followed the process, it would make people anxious to death and would also delay the opportunity.
Therefore, Xuan Yangzi didn't say anything.
He stood there quietly and watched Chongxuan Ling and Cheng being recorded in the book.
"Okay, everything is recorded."
Chong Xuanling wiped his forehead, which was not sweaty, and
In one breath, Taoist Priest Li finally finished his work. ?
He can also rest assured. ?
He handed the reported documents and a booklet to Li Lezhi and reminded him, "Master Li, you must keep the booklet well. If someone doubts that you are a wild Taoist priest, they will need this booklet as proof. It will be difficult to get a replacement if you lose it."
"good."
?Feng Chui Lin An's work "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a National Master"??, domain name [(.)]%?%??
Li Le took it. The booklet was not heavy and was stamped with the seal of Chongxuan Office. The most bizarre thing was that the seal was printed separately, but when put together it could be seen as a whole. It was probably an ancient anti-counterfeiting technology to prevent others from forging it.
After the report was successfully submitted, his worries were finally resolved.
All this was thanks to the appearance of the old man. Regardless of whether it was because of the old man's identity or because of the presence of one more person, the two did not dare to make too much trouble. Li Le only remembered what happened today.
"Old man, do you have something important to do? It's fate that we meet. Why don't we have a meal together?"
"OK."
Xuan Yangzi was still worried that he would not have the chance to meet Li Lezhi, but he did not expect Li Lezhi to be so approachable, so he naturally went happily.
The two chose a restaurant and selected a few of the restaurant's signature dishes.
Li Lezhi ordered another pot of light wine and chatted with the old man while eating. After the meal, the relationship between Li Lezhi and the old man became closer, which was also because Xuan Yangzi deliberately made friends with him.
Xuan Yangzi said: "My friend, you now have a Taoist temple, and it has also been registered. Don't forget to go to Xuan Yang Palace on May 5th to discuss Taoism."
The so-called discussion of Taoism is just a group of people showing off what they are good at and learning from others.
"Xuan Yang Palace?"
This was the only time Li Le learned about Xuanyang Palace from the old man. Although he had read a lot of books before, he still didn't know about the Taoist temples in Daliang.
Originally, he had not thought about moving. There was only one Taoist temple in Da'an County. A little further away, there was only one most famous Qingyun Temple in Yangzhou. As for the rest, he never left Da'an County and there was no need for him to know too much about them.
Others thought that Li Lezhi was also a Taoist priest, so they had naturally heard of the reputation of Xuanyang Palace, but they had never mentioned it to him.
Until now, Li Le only knew about the existence of Xuanyang Palace from the old man.
"Well, Xuanyang Palace. Last time, the fifth day of May was scheduled at Chongshan Temple. This time, the discussion will be held at Xuanyang Palace. Xuanyang Palace is only slightly larger than other Taoist temples, and there is nothing special to see. However, on the fifth day of May, all Taoist temples will send people there. I can meet a lot of people there, so it's okay to go and have some fun."
Xuan Yangzi took a sip of wine. As a member of Xuan Yang Palace, it was not appropriate for him to praise Xuan Yang Palace too much. However, there was no need for him to say more. He was not bragging. There was no one in Daliang who had not heard of the reputation of Xuan Yang Palace.
In Xuan Yangzi's eyes, Li Le's only doubt was why this forum was held in Xuan Yang Palace and not anything else.
Li Lezhi: “That will have to wait until next year.”
The fifth day of May this year has passed, and he may not have time to go on the fifth day of May next year. The time span is too long. For a person with social anxiety and a bit of a homebody, he really doesn't want to move.
In ancient times, it was not like modern times, where you could travel from the north to Beijing in one day. Now it would take quite some time to get there by bumpy road.
"Yes, it will be next year. I don't know when I will see you again. Do you really not want to consider joining Xuanyang Palace?"
"I am used to being at ease, and I am afraid I am not used to the rules and regulations of the Great Dao Temple. Now I just want to carry forward my Miao Dao Temple."
No way.
Li Le just squinted his eyes, drank fruit wine and talked nonsense. He was a go-with-the-flow person who just wanted to live his own life and make a little money. Now as for money, he had his apprentice as a backing, so it was not a very important thing for him whether there were people coming to burn incense or not.
If Sun Miaoran had not pointed out that he was a wild Taoist priest and he was afraid of being imprisoned, he would not have wanted to leave Da'an County and come to Yangzhou to report.
He just wants to live a peaceful life.
"Good, you have ambition.?"
These words touched Xuan Yangzi's heart, and he no longer thought about accepting Li Le as his disciple. There was only one Xuan Yang Palace in the world, and there was no hope for Taoism to prosper. A prosperous age could only come when a hundred schools of thought contend with each other.
This is a blessing for Taoism.
Taoism is not short of geniuses, but what it lacks is geniuses with lofty ambitions. If one does not have the heart to strive and make progress, and is just mediocre, how can Taoism survive for long and produce talents and prosper?
Li Lezhi didn't know yet that because of that sentence, in the old man's mind, he went from being a genius that only appears once in a hundred years to a talent that only appears once in a thousand years. He also raised his status to several higher levels, and he was almost crowned the number one person in Taoism.
The two of them went out drunkenly. When they said goodbye at the door, the old man held Li Le's hand and said reluctantly: "May 5th, don't forget it, you must come before 2.?.?2?"
"good.?"
Li Le only agreed, and the two parted ways.
It was only after Li Le got into the carriage that he vaguely remembered that he seemed not to have asked the old man's name.
When he lifted the curtain and looked outside, he could no longer see the old man. He could only see a carriage heading in the opposite direction.
By the time Li Lezhi returned to the small courtyard, the drunkenness had dissipated and he became a little more sober. He touched the booklet in his arms and found it was still there. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a false alarm.
He took out the booklet from his arms and was about to walk towards his room to keep the booklet safely when he saw Qian Xi walking back and forth in the yard.
Looking at Qian Xi's expression, it seems that he has encountered a difficult problem.
Li Le just walked over and asked: "What happened?"
When Qian Xi heard the voice, he turned around and saw Li Lezhi, and his tense expression relaxed a little.
After seeing Li Lezhi, he didn't know how to start. Seeing the book in Li Lezhi's hand, he recognized it and asked, "Did everything go well today? Did the people from Chongxuan Office give you any trouble?"
When the Chongxuan Office was mentioned, Li Lezhi's ears rang with the words of Chongxuan Ling. Someone ordered him to stop him from reporting successfully.
Li Le only wanted to ask Governor Qian whether he had any political enemies, but he realized that Governor Qian had no achievements and it would be too presumptuous to ask such a question.
Then he said, "There are some minor setbacks."
Qian Xi: “Hmm?”
"Someone has arranged for the Chongxuan Office to stop me and doesn't want me to succeed in reporting."
"There is such a thing," Qian Xi never expected that even though his father had already come forward, the people in Chongxuan Office dared to disobey his father's orders. Although Chongxuan Office was not under the jurisdiction of his father, it was still in Yangzhou. How could they be so presumptuous?
In an instant, Qian Xi figured it out. There was someone else behind this. This person was not afraid of his father. The only people who dared to bypass his father and give orders were people in the capital, such as the Five Departments, the Nine Temples, or...
These matters still need his father to investigate and deal with, and it is not appropriate for a junior like him to get involved.
"I see, thank you," Qian Xi said. After hesitating for a while, he bravely asked, "I want to become a disciple at Miaodao Temple."
"ah?"
Li Le was just surprised. His Miaodao Temple was small and shabby. It was not a place Qian Xi could go to. Compared with Qingyun Temple, his Miaodao Temple was just like a house.
"Why don't you think about it again? You are a lay disciple of Qingyun Temple, why do you want to enter Miaodao Temple?"
Qian Xi said: "I have already thought about it."
Here, Taoist Priest Li is not an ordinary Taoist priest. It is a blessing for me to be able to follow him and enter his Taoist temple.
It was precisely because of Master Yun’s affirmation that Qian Xi became more determined in his ideas.
He already knew about Taoist Li's abilities from his father. He didn't ask to become Taoist Li's disciple, but it would be good to follow Taoist Li and practice.
I just don’t know if Taoist Priest Li would agree.
There was anxiety in Qian Xi's eyes. Seeing that Taoist Li was in deep thought, he did not dare to ask.
As for Li Lezhi, when he knew that Qian Xi wanted to enter Miaodao Temple to practice, he was opposed at first, because compared with Qingyun Temple, the conditions in Miaodao Temple were harsh and it was not suitable. But seeing that Qian Xi had made up his mind, Li Lezhi was also moved.
Someone was targeting him behind the scenes. After he accepted Qian Xi, he was able to use Qian's identity as the governor to make the other party cautious and save his own life.
It’s just not very fair to Qian Xi.
That's all.
Li Le only said: "Since you have made up your mind, I will accept you as my disciple. In the future, you and Mingli will practice with me."
All he can give is the skills he learned from his teacher.
I'm not very good at fortune-telling, but I have enough theories.
How much he can learn depends on Qian Xi's own luck.
"yes,?[(.)]?"
Qian Xi smiled with joy, overjoyed. He had not expected that not only would he be admitted to Miaodao Temple, but he would also become the master's disciple. This must be the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.
Just when he was feeling happy, a servant rushed in from outside. Before he even arrived, he said, "Master, something bad has happened."
