Perhaps many people in the Zhang family were puzzled and just felt lucky.
But in the eyes of real officials, the Zhang family has completely turned to the third prince. Once they fail in the relevant battle for the throne, the entire Zhang family will be overthrown and there will be no chance of survival.
"Don't worry too much. It's not easy to intervene right now, but the Zhang family's power and status aren't that high. If they're willing to give up Yuhuchun's business, resign from their official positions, and hide their identities, we can still protect them with our status and position..."
The abbot of Donglin Temple was by my side, comforting me.
Since my recent cultivation progress has continued to progress steadily, moving forward step by step without any unstable foundation, the abbot of Donglin Temple has become more and more satisfied with me.
The overall attitude was quite gentle, and a supreme elder who had failed in his attempt to reach the Martial Saint realm was specially invited from the temple to teach me every day. He also had a very high opinion of me.
Because I often draw inferences from one example, I don't have too many questions about the key points of cultivation at the Grandmaster level, and even many of my insights amaze him.
Of course, this is not the first time I have become a Grandmaster. I have gone far beyond the Grandmaster realm many times.
Even if we count it in an extreme way, I once reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm for a period of time, and was not inferior to this Supreme Elder who failed to break through to the Martial Saint realm.
A book friend I've known for ten years recommended Yeguo Reading to me. It's so damn useful! I use it to pass the time, even while driving or before bed, listening to books aloud. You can download it here.yeguoyuedu
I have average talent, but after several generations of hard work, I can finally be considered as comparable to some of the top geniuses, which can be regarded as a reward for my previous efforts.
I have no shortage of resources for my practice in Donglin Temple, but although Donglin Temple is good, it is not my ideal place.
Standing in Donglin Temple, you can see gorgeous clothes everywhere.
Different from the normal attire of noble families, the clothes worn by monks in temples are all made of special materials, but the colors are usually blue or light yellow.
Although the colors are rather monotonous, the clothes of the abbot, relevant elders and even the people below him are quite good, and the materials are quite excellent. The nine-ring staffs, prayer beads and other items used in daily life are all extremely luxurious items.
It is either gold or silver, or it is golden nanmu or small-leaf red sandalwood.
Overall, it is low-key yet luxurious, but many people in the temple do not need to farm. They just chant scriptures, worship Buddha, practice martial arts and meditate every day, that's all.
If I were not a member of Donglin Temple, then I wouldn’t care. If I were not a Buddhist disciple of Donglin Temple, then I wouldn’t care.
But since in the future I may actually move into Donglin Temple, become its abbot, or even protect it, I have to try to change a lot of things.
I asked the abbot of Donglin Temple to reduce many taxes on the grounds that I needed help in practicing the Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Yes, taxes can also be collected in temples. Donglin Temple owns millions of acres of land.
He is a well-known and top landlord in the Jiangnan West Road area.
If we count wealthy families, Donglin Temple can definitely be considered one.
After careful consideration, the abbot of Donglin Temple agreed to my request. The taxes on nearly 10% of the fertile land under his name were reduced, and the lives of the people under his name were suddenly not as difficult as before.
