This elders' meeting is the first one held in Baoen Temple in a long time. Because many of the elders are no longer here, it can be seen that this elders' meeting really exists in name only.
If Zhu Chongba hadn't studied the temple rules of Baoen Temple very carefully, he wouldn't have discovered this matter. It has to be said that although the old abbot of Baoen Temple does not hold elders' meetings, he has no idea about the candidates for these elders. It's good to add in what's missing, and it still represents the original force.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Zhu Chongba to convene an elders' meeting. Think about it, ① all his words represent the power of the old abbot. What's the point of such an elders' meeting?
This time Zhu Chongba had thought about it. His main purpose was to see how the two parties fought with each other. Of course the old abbot of Baoen Temple also came because he was a natural member of the Presbyterian Council of Baoen Temple. If he were not a member of the Presbyterian Church, the Presbyterian Church would have little authority.
"Master Rujing, are you here too?" The old abbot of Baoen Temple was very polite. Although he is still the abbot of Baoen Temple in name, he no longer cares about anything. This time he really gave all his power to Zhu Chongba, the convening of this presbytery is a symbol.
In the past, such a presbytery would have been impossible to convene, because it was really meaningless, but it is different now.
"I have something to announce! That is, from now on, the Elders' Council will be presided over by Master Rujing! All decisions will be made by Master Rujing!" After saying this, the old abbot of Baoen Temple sat on the side.
Zhu Zhongba clearly saw every move of the old abbot of Baoen Temple. In his opinion, the old abbot of Baoen Temple was really extraordinary. However, Zhu Zhongba did not say anything because on such an occasion, The less he talks the better, because too much talk will lead to mistakes.
In fact, what Zhu Chongba wanted to say very much was, please start your performance. I just sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. But in this case, he absolutely cannot say it. Otherwise, this Baoen Temple would really be in chaos.
Although Zhu Zhongba has not yet firmly grasped Baoen Temple, Zhu Zhongba will never let the power he has gained go away, because Zhu Zhongba will never let such a thing happen. He firmly holds the initiative and will soon take back all power.
The situation of Baoen Temple is different from that of Huangjue Temple. After all, Huangjue Temple is the temple where Zhu Chongba became a monk. I still know the old abbot of Huangjue Temple a little bit in my heart. Zhu Chongba will not suddenly seize the throne. Besides, although Zhu Chongba did not become the nominal abbot of Huangjue Temple, in fact he kept his word better than the abbot.
"Abbott, this is against the rules! You should preside over the elders' meeting! Master Rujing is just an outsider! What does he know?" This is the power of the old abbot of Baoen Temple speaking.
After hearing such words, Zhu Chongba's expression did not change at all. People who didn't know better thought that Zhu Chongba didn't hear anything?
In fact, Zhu Chongba was thinking in his heart! Don't you just want to say that I'm too young? Is there no way to manage this Baoen Temple? I understand what you mean, but it doesn’t matter what you say.
"Since the abbot has issued a decree for Master Rujing to preside over it, Master Rujing will preside over it. This should not change. Otherwise, would it be disrespecting the abbot's decree?"
Zhu Zhongba didn't need to say anything at all, and the two forces had already begun to take action. But the elder who just spoke just now, Zhu Zhongba couldn't tell which force he belonged to, because what he said was not very clear. Good judgment.
This time Zhu Chongba was also eye-opening! It seems that no matter how good the book is, it is not as interesting as it actually is! Zhu Chongba only needs to listen carefully and does not need to do anything else.
Zhu Chongba even had a feeling that these people could become high officials. They were really talented people!
"I support letting Master Rujing make the decision!"
"Me too!"
Many people made another kind of sound, which made Zhu Chongba feel that the battle was about to start. Not to mention them, even Zhu Chongba, the middleman, was very excited. He could finally see the two sides. The leader was seriously engaged in the peak showdown, and Zhu Chongba was listening very seriously, fearing that he would miss something exciting.
It turns out that Zhu Chongba has never seen such a thing before! This is also a good opportunity for Zhu Chongba to grow! Although Zhu Chongba knew something about people, Zhu Chongba himself knew very well that his understanding was too limited.
At this time, everyone looked at Zhu Chongba. At this time, Zhu Chongba suddenly understood what this meant! What about letting Zhu Chongba announce the start of the meeting? If Zhu Chongba does not make an announcement, there will be no way for the meeting to officially start.
"Because some disciples violated temple rules, I decided to let the elders decide how to punish them? Now you can start to state the reasons and basis?" After Zhu Chongba said this, he started to listen. From now on, it is their business.
Because Zhu Chongba didn't know the disciple who violated the temple rules, and of course he didn't know which force this disciple belonged to? But Zhu Chongba believed that after the following debate, he would be able to determine which force he belonged to. Zhu Chongba really couldn't wait.
After Zhu Chongba announced the start of the elders' meeting, an elder began to speak, "Although this disciple violated the temple rules, because he was young and ignorant, and he was a new disciple, and he was not familiar with the temple rules, so he Anyone who violates temple rules should be dealt with leniently as appropriate.”
"I object. No matter who violates the temple rules, they must strictly follow the temple rules. The elders have no objection to this!"
"no comment!"
Many elders nodded, because what they said was very reasonable, and you had no objection. In fact, they all knew that the focus of the problem was not here, but how to determine which temple rule was violated. That's the most important thing. .
Zhu Chongba was becoming more and more attentive at this time, because he knew that the peak of the Presbyterian debate was coming, and this was also the most exciting time. Zhu Chongba quietly watched as the representatives from the two sides began to debate. .
I have to say that these elders are really powerful. Their understanding of the temple rules of Baoen Temple has reached the level of perfection. They are very clear about any issue. The debate between the two sides is in full swing. In fact, Zhu Chong Ba is very grateful to him and the others, otherwise Zhu Chongba would not have made such great progress in understanding a temple's rules.
