After discussing with Ye Dafu for a while, the two of them jointly wrote a "White Paper on the Development Outline of Lingyin Temple and the First Five-Year Plan for the In-depth Development of Zen Buddhism in Daxuan".
The plan points out that within five years, relying on Jigong's image IP, Lingyin Temple will be built into a new Buddhist base and demonstration temple with a great reputation. The team of compassionate monks completely seized the market of pseudo-Buddhism in the Western Regions in Daxuan.
However, as the newly appointed Daxuan Dharma Chancellor, Chen Luo has not forgotten Emperor Lin's advice. After officially taking office, he will also issue a "Measures for the Management of Monks" to avoid social problems and temples that will arise after the increase in the number of new Buddhist believers. management issues.
Although there is already a Shaolin Temple, it is a special case and is under the direct control of the Wuyuan. The rules and regulations are actually similar to other sects directly under the Wuyuan, and the accounts are also handled by the Wuyuan. Naturally, other Zen temples cannot do this.
This is also the purpose of Chen Luo to build another Lingyin Temple alone.
For example, Shaolin Temple is the R&D department, and Lingyin Temple is the marketing department. Naturally, different management methods must be adopted.
Facing the possible rise of Zen Buddhism, Chen Luo and Ye Dafu reached a high degree of consensus on one issue, that is: temples are not allowed to have temple property! When planning temples, a small amount of self-cultivated land can be reserved, based on self-sufficiency.
Taking Lingyin Temple as the first, all subsequent new Buddhist temples adopt a budget. The director compiles the annual expenses and declares them to the relevant departments of the bias office. They can only be issued after approval. Every payment must be transparent and disclosed.
There is no such thing as a cast-in-gold body or a burning incense!
The reason for reporting to the bias office is not because Chen Luo himself is the Dharma Chancellor. If one day Chen Luo resigns as Dharma Chancellor, this rule will not change!
The purpose of this is to tell future monks that becoming a monk does not lead to deviance from the law! They are still within the jurisdiction of the Daxuan Law.
Daxuan Dharma is higher than pure rules and precepts!
Monks can beg alms and raise donations, but the purpose of the donation must not be to expand the size of the temple or cast a golden body of Bodhisattva. Later, Chen Luo will indicate the formation of a "Swastika Society" to collect donations and help all kinds of people in need. Supervision by relevant departments of the Bias Division.
As for what does it matter if this relevant department doesn’t exist yet, then Chen Luo will set it up! Now, isn’t he a Dharma minister? It’s just a matter of one sentence!
(???)?Now that I think about it, this position comes at the right time!
"Brother, what is your first step after taking over as Dharma Chancellor?" Ye Dafu chatted with Chen Luo after talking about the development of Zen Buddhism.
Chen Luo shook his head: "I have never paid attention to the imperial court before, and I don't know which way the door of the branch opens. After taking office, I will focus on research and find out the ways inside."
"Research?" Ye Dafu frowned. Although he had never heard of this word, he probably understood the meaning, so he smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about this, I know it!"
As he said that, Ye Dafu laughed innocently again and said, "Brother, you know me. My hobby is making money!"
"But when it comes to making money, for me, the most important thing to be careful about is the bias. Other saints are not afraid of bias, but our royal family has to give face."
"So I know the deviations of Daxuan Sixiang Yamen best." Chen Luo Yile: This is really an unexpected surprise. "Let's go, Dafu, let's eat and chat."
"The Daxuan Branch, the most important ones are the three departments." Ye Dafu poured Chen Luo a glass of wine and said, "The Yifa Hall is responsible for legislation, the six doors are responsible for law enforcement, and the Kaifeng Mansion is responsible for justice. "
"Kaifeng Mansion?" Chen Luo was stunned. This changed from a place name to a government name?
"That's right." Ye Dafu nodded and explained, "Kaifeng Mansion is mainly responsible for trials and convictions. Unsealing the sealed truth is the origin of Kaifeng Mansion."
Chen Luo suddenly understood, nodded, and motioned for Ye Dafu to continue.
"The Yifa Hall sounds important, but in fact it can be regarded as the staff of the Dharma Prime Minister. Its main task is to travel around Daxuan to observe whether the laws and regulations are realistic. If not, it will put forward suggestions for correction."
"But if you want to re-enact a new law, you need to report it to His Majesty first and get His Majesty's permission before you can enter the legislative process."
Chen Luo nodded. Simply put, this is a secretarial team.
Ye Dafu took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and continued: "Then there are six doors. Criminal investigation, arrests, and interrogations are all handled by six doors. It can be said that they are the most common places for ordinary people to come into contact with bias. Department, and at the same time, Six Doors is also the department with the largest number of people in the bias office."
"In addition, there is a prison department responsible for prisons and prisons, and a central department responsible for coordinating the operation of the bias office. These are some auxiliary departments."
Chen Luo thought for a while and asked: "Dafu, when I was in Wan'an County, there didn't seem to be so many departments, there was only one county government."
"Brother, you don't understand the extent of the imperial court." Hearing this, Ye Dafu smiled and said, "Daxuan County can't govern thousands of places, so how can it be so meticulously arranged."
"Except for a few county towns, most of the counties in Daxuan are governed by the county magistrate. The county magistrate is responsible for education, public security, criminal litigation, taxation, people's livelihood, etc. within the county. There will be six offices under it. The principal is an official who assists the county magistrate."
"But further up, when the first government is built, there will be six gates and the existence of Kaifeng Mansion. In Daxuan Guanzhi, these chief officials are of the same rank as the mansion master, but half a level lower. But for bias The governor has no way to interfere with the affairs of the office, and only has the power to supervise and report."
After listening to Ye Dafu's introduction, Chen Luo had a rough outline of the deviation.
Legislation, law enforcement, and judiciary seemed to have a reasonable division of labor and perfect organization, but Chen Luo squinted his eyes and felt that something was missing!
But what is missing? It should be something very important.
Chen Luo fell into deep thought, but his thoughts were mixed for a while and he couldn't figure out a clue.
Seeing what Chen Luo was thinking, Ye Dafu thought that Chen Luo was troubled by the problems of the three departments, and said: "Brother, don't worry too much. Although there are many departments, the Dharma Chancellor is actually in charge of Kaifeng Mansion most of the time."
"Often some major and important cases still need to be tried by the Prime Minister in person before they can be suppressed!"
"For example, the Yifa Hall does not move once a year, and arresting prisoners is enough to provide evidence. Naturally, the Six Doors do it."
"Relatively speaking, Fa Xiang is the more leisurely of the four Xiang Xiang."
Chen Luo shook his head and didn't explain much. He just asked, "Is there anyone inside who needs attention?"
Ye Dafu thought for a while and said: "Under the Dharma Prime Minister, there are two deputy prime ministers on the left and right."
"Gongsun Bo, Deputy Prime Minister of the Left, is a second-grade Confucian scholar. Calculated, he should be in his sixtieth year now. He is from the Zhao family in Luozhou. He was originally the companion of the current head of the Zhao family. However, he was extremely talented and was influenced by the Zhao family in the early days. Focus on training. Later, because he refused the Zhao family's request for marriage and married his current wife, the relationship with the Zhao family was not very good."
"The aristocratic families have a poor opinion of him, and the most common words they say about him are ungratefulness." "However, his affectionate reputation is widely spread among the people."
"How do you describe Gongsun Bo? He has abilities, but his character is a bit aloof. Outside of work, he rarely interacts with others. My grandfather once said that Gongsun Bo can only be a deputy and cannot be in charge of the chief seal."
"As for the right deputy prime minister..." Ye Dafu paused and said solemnly, "it's a bit tricky." "How should I say?" Chen Luo asked.
"This prime minister's name is Wu Yongzhi, he is also a second-grade cultivator, and he is from the Saint clan, the Wu family in Mozhou." Ye Dafu said, "The head of the Wu family in Mozhou was a disciple of Fang Sheng back then. "
When Chen Luo heard this, he heard an unusual smell.
Ye Dafu saw Chen Luo's expression and explained: "Back then, Song Sheng had a bad relationship with the aristocratic saint clan, and a large number of disciples who were born in the aristocratic saint clan left with their seals. Song Sheng took the opportunity to activate the poor family."
"Later, when Cheng Nansong came to power, he continued Song Sheng's strategy and also put the children from poor families at the head." "The current bias is the department with the most children from poor families among the four-phase departments."
"The noble family realized something was wrong, so they promoted Wu Yong to the throne. However, although Wu Yongzhi did not make any achievements after serving as deputy prime minister, he did not make any mistakes and could not find any mistakes."
Chen Luo nodded and took note of these two names in his mind.
"So the current bias is quite complete. If you want to save trouble, brother, you don't have to worry about anything. Occasionally, if there is a major incident, you can just sit in Kaifeng Mansion and make a judgment." Ye Dafu drank a glass of wine and said, "But if you want to use With fists and kicks, I’m afraid I’m going to touch the noble family’s saints.”
"But, be careful." After saying this, Ye Dafu's face rarely became serious. Chen Luo smiled bitterly.
Alas, didn't those old guys put themselves in this position just to "flex their muscles"?
And while Chen Luo and Ye Dafu were discussing where to go, there were also several figures plotting in a secret room in a remote house in Zhongjing.
"Is everything ready?"
"Get ready. Even if you review three cases a day, it will take more than half a year to complete! By then, there will be new ones."
"Very good. This can be regarded as the gift we prepared for Wu Hou to take office!" Hearing this, all the voices burst into laughter.
But after the laughter, some people were worried: "It's just... if we do this, what if we attract revenge from Wuhou in the future?"
"If nothing else, our family cannot afford the ban on martial arts." Hearing this, the others also fell silent and looked at the leader.
"What are you afraid of!" the leader scolded in a low voice, "We won't show up anymore." "Besides, this is just a matter of fact."
"Remember, we are not trying to plot against Wu Hou. At most, we are just trying to make him run into obstacles in his Dharma phase."
Another figure frowned and asked, "Then what's the point of doing this?"
"Even if Wuhou cannot stay in the position of Dharma Prime Minister, he is still Wuhou and cannot be hurt at all."
"No!" Another figure who had been silent in the corner shook his head and sighed, "You are a descendant of the Holy Clan, why are you so short-sighted?"
"Why did Yan Baichuan\Cheng Nansong and the others try so hard to recommend Chen Luo to the position of Dharma Minister?"
"The elders of your respective families can actually see it clearly."
"The reason is to use Chen Luo's ability and background to see if he can break the legal barriers of the wealthy family!"
"If it were someone else, we could deal with it indifferently, but if it were Chen Luo, do you dare to say that he doesn't have this ability? If he really breaks this barrier, how many of your family can withstand the investigation? ?"
"Killing Chen Luo from the position of Dharma Prime Minister is a way for your family to save themselves! If his name is not correct, his words will not be correct. As long as he is not the Dharma Prime Minister, even if he is a Taoist master, even if he has any other identity, it has nothing to do with us!"
These words made everyone present feel shocked.
My family members know their own affairs, so they naturally understand that if they really take out the bad things in their respective families and expose them to the sun, even the sun will spit on them.
"Your actions are just the beginning." The figure continued, "Let Chen Luo discover the problems of the poor children. If he wants to solve them, he has to find a solution from our noble family."
"At that time, let's see how he breaks down the legal barriers of the holy family."
After the voice finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
"As long as the legal barrier is not broken, Wuhou, who is omnipotent in the hearts of the people, has hit the south wall." The heads of the Fang family, Fang Hua and others who were married to the Fang family said with a smile while drinking tea.
"If another eye-catching case comes out, causing heated debate and public resentment, then Chen Luo's good fortune will be greatly reduced. If he wants to open the Wanli Road by then, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Having said this, Fang Huaji noticed that several family heads frowned slightly, as if showing disdain, so his face darkened and he put down the tea cup in his hand.
"Hmph, do some people think that our Fang family ignores righteousness and only cares about personal hatred?"
"Everyone, it's not that our Fang family wants to hinder Chen Luo because of our own small profits, it's just that Chen Luo's worldly martial arts is in serious conflict with our Fang family's holy way."
"This is a battle for the holy way."
"Your families are of the same spirit as our Fang family, and the ancestors behind you all follow our Fang family's holy path. If our Fang family's holy path is damaged, then naturally you will not be able to survive alone."
"Do you want to watch your ancestor's great road collapse?" "Are you willing to bear the name of the Holy Family?" "How do you face your own clansmen?"
Fang Huaji asked several questions in succession, making all the family heads present look gloomy.
Fang Huaji was silent for a moment, then smiled softly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said -
"Our Fang family naturally knows how important martial arts is to the human race. We also know that this is the general trend of the human race. We will definitely not and do not dare to lead you to the opposite side of the human race."
"It's just that over the years, our contribution to the human race can be considered hard work rather than credit!"
"Our Fang family's idea is very simple. Delay and delay to slow down Chen Luo's advancement."
"Give us a few years to turn things around." "Isn't this too much?"
Hearing Fang Huaji's words, other family heads present also breathed a sigh of relief silently. If that was just the case, then everyone was still unanimous.
"Then... let's make arrangements." A family head expressed his position, "But let's agree first that it will only target the Dharma Prime Minister, not the people of Wuhou."
"Once Wuhou resigns from the position of Dharma Chancellor, all actions will be suspended!" "Yes, that's the saying." Another family head also agreed.
The other family heads also nodded in agreement.
"Of course!" Fang Huaji put down his teacup and said, "We, the Fang family, are not fools and cannot see the attitude of the Holy Church and the Taoist Palace."
After hearing this, all the family heads were relieved.
After another discussion, everyone said goodbye and left. When everyone left, Fang Huaji could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground.
"Asshole!"
The great scholar of the Fang family who was guarding the door rushed in after hearing the words. Seeing the tea bowl that was smashed into powder on the ground, he looked at Fang Huaji in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"
"Humph, these bastards!" Fang Huaji pointed at the tea bowls left on the table when the family heads left, furious, "Their ancestors were canonized through the grace of our Fang family, and their families became famous one by one. The wealthy family became a holy family."
"Now I have forgotten the kindness of our Fang family!"
"When will our family's decision need to be explained to them?" "Now everyone has turned their backs on each other!"
When the great scholar of the Fang family heard this, he also sighed slightly: "Master, calm down." "The time is the time, the situation is also the situation." "Today is a change in our Fang family that has not happened in thousands of years."
"Now that I'm waiting, there is still a place where they can be used." Fang Huaji took a few deep breaths, and then his expression softened a little.
"I understand." "I just feel uncomfortable." "It's okay, go down!"
The great scholar of the Fang family cupped his hands and turned to leave. Fang Huaji sat on the chair again, looking at the white mark left by the smashed tea cup on the ground, and suddenly felt extremely tired.
After having enough wine and food, Chen Luo bid farewell to Ye Dafu and continued flying south.
Before taking up the post of Dharma Chancellor, he still had to go to Wutong Forest to make arrangements for his incarnation into the netherworld. According to Chen Luo's original intention, it was too dangerous for him to come forward to do this kind of thing now.
If grandpa is still angry, he will inevitably get beaten.
The best way is to find Sister-in-law Jianjia and ask her to explain it on her behalf. The problem is - Third Senior Brother!
At this time, it is the turn of sister-in-law Jianjia and the third senior brother to fly together. It must be said that the third senior brother is still good at handling his wife. Therefore, he can only make a trip by himself.
When he flew down to the outside of the Wutong Forest, the sky was already dark. The little demon who was guarding the spirit stopped Chen Luo. After seeing Chen Luo's token, he quickly and respectfully led Chen Luo into the Wutong Forest.
That token was given to Jian Jia when he was above Cun. He had the highest right of passage in the Wutong Forest, so the little demon naturally didn't dare to stop him.
"Young Master, the place ahead of you is where the emperor is. We are not allowed to enter without permission, so please help yourself." After arriving at a place, the little demon stopped and said respectfully to Chen Luo.
Chen Luo nodded, waved his hand to signal the little demon to go and get busy, and then walked in with familiarity...
"Hahaha, grandpa is here to catch you, don't run away..."
"Humph, Xiao Qi, this must be you, Grandpa has sensed it." "Huh? Why are you missing again?" Chen Luo stood under the peach blossom tree and rubbed his eyes.
My God, what did I see?
In front of Chen Luo's eyes, the old-looking Azure Dragon Emperor was now blindfolded and groping randomly with his hands, while thirty ginseng babies were stepping on ginseng leaves and flying around the Azure Dragon Emperor.
This scene... reminded Chen Luo of the famous three-line poem - Concubine, I'm here to catch you, Concubine, where are you?
Your Majesty, I hate it... This is not my grandpa! Is he so virtuous and respectable as he promised?
What about the said old age?
You are quite immersed in playing this game and have blocked your spiritual sense. At this time, what should you do? Of course you have to record it!
(●?ω?●)?
It was too late, but it was too soon. Chen Luo quickly took out the photo charm he carried with him... Perhaps he noticed something unusual about the ginseng baby, and the Azure Dragon Emperor stopped moving.
He raised his hand to remove the silk scarf covering his eyes, and saw a person standing with his back to him. (((;???;))) When did the person come?
Did he see everything just now?
Why didn't Jian Jia... Oh, yes, Jian Jia was taken away by that Bai Ze! Huh? Her mood became even worse! There was no other way but to silence her!
However, this figure is...Chen Luo? Damn it, I can't do it now!
"Ahem!" Emperor Qinglong coughed dryly, and Chen Luo, who had his back turned to Emperor Qinglong, turned around, his eyes filled with blazing flames.
"Master? Is that you? Master?" Chen Luo put his hands in front of him and asked, "Something happened to my grandson's Golden Crow Divine Eye. The fire in this eye cannot be stopped."
"I can't see anything!" "Master, save me!" Emperor Qinglong: (▼ヘ▼#)
Do you really think that I am old and confused? Who are you trying to fool? Emperor Qinglong raised his eyebrows and sighed.
"How could this happen?" "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"
As he spoke, Emperor Qinglong waved his hand, and two drops of green water flew towards Chen Luo's eyes, instantly extinguishing the flames in Chen Luo's eyes.
"How about it? These are two drops of dew crystal refined by the old man for a thousand years, which should be able to cure this disease."
At this moment, Chen Luo felt a sense of coolness spreading through his limbs, his soul was refreshed, and it seemed that some of the squeezing fatigue had disappeared.
What a good thing!
After accepting these two drops of hush money, Chen Luo saluted Emperor Qinglong with a smile and said, "Thank you, grandpa, for helping me."
"My grandson feels much better!"
"Hmph!" Emperor Qinglong snorted softly and sat on the chair, "Look at the trouble you have brought to me!"
As he spoke, Emperor Qinglong pointed at the peach blossom forest and the thirty ginseng fruits suspended in the air with a look of disgust.
"Come this time and take them all away!" "It's rare for me to be old..."
But before the Qinglong Emperor finished speaking, the thirty ginseng babies pounced on the Qinglong Emperor again, tugging at the clothes and the beard.
"Why are you laughing!" Emperor Qinglong rolled his eyes at Chen Luo, and his body swayed. Thirty soft winds suddenly surged out of his body, wrapping up these ginseng babies and hanging them on the ginseng fruit tree again.
"They are both spiritual materials from heaven and earth, that's why they are close to me." Emperor Qinglong said lightly, "Whenever you give birth to a child and carry him to the Wutong Forest, then he is really having fun with his grandson!"
However, the emperor thought for a while and added: "Great-grandson!" "Definitely, definitely!" Chen Luo said perfunctorily.
"You are a kid. You will never come to see me if there is no serious matter. Tell me, what's the matter?" Emperor Qinglong leaned on the back of his chair, "Let's make an agreement first that Lao Chan will not interfere in the dispute between the human race and the demon race!"
Chen Luo quickly stepped forward and told the Qinglong Emperor about the incarnation. Of course, it involved the topic of the underworld, so everyone could only understand it but not explain it in words.
"That's it." Emperor Qinglong nodded, "No wonder you became Tathagata." "Preparation, just preparation!" Chen Luo said modestly.
"Okay, I know now. Leave the original seed behind, and I will find a way to send it to the Netherworld." Emperor Qinglong waved his hand and looked at Chen Luo again, "Now that you are back, what are you going to do next? ?"
"Are you ready to drive thousands of miles?"
Chen Luo smiled, shook his head and said, "It's still early for Wanli. Several seniors plan to let me be a Dharma minister."
"Dharma phase?" Emperor Qinglong looked at Chen Luo again and nodded, "Tone your temperament, grow your knowledge, and use the phase to blend the luck of the human race."
"Humans still teach people!"
"Go ahead, if you do this well, it will be helpful for you to open a thousand-mile road!"
"Yes! We have made an appointment to take up the post tomorrow, and the grandson will stay soon. Master, take care." Emperor Qinglong waved his hand, and Chen Luo bowed again before turning and leaving.
Just looking at Chen Luo's back, the Qinglong Emperor always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something. (￣┏∞┓￣) That boy...could he have been recording? After leaving the Wutong Forest, Chen Luo jumped up and walked towards Fly towards Daxuan Zhongjing.
Bias, here I come!
