Lin Tingzhi couldn't help but nodded and said: "I know that these two are newly enlightened Xuan Zun, and they both achieved enlightenment through the mysterious method like Zhang Tingzhi, which is not easy."
Chong Tingzhi said at this time: "Zhang Tingzhi, we all know that when you were guarding the East Courtyard, you were frequently attacked by strange gods. These strange gods were later suppressed by Zhang Tingzhi.
With Zhang Tingzhi's meritorious deeds, it is no problem to guard the East Courtyard. However, these two people are far from comparable to you, Zhang Tingzhi. Are they really qualified for this position? Can they really guard this land?
"
He looked at Zhang Yu, slowed down his voice and said: "Zhang Tingzhi must think carefully. If the person you recommend makes mistakes now, then you, Zhang Tingzhi, will also bear the responsibility."
Zhang Yu said: "Since I recommend these two people, I will shoulder my responsibilities."
He knew that Chongting's words were actually not wrong. If something went wrong with the recommended Xuanzang, he, as the recommended person, would also be implicated.
Although this cannot shake his position as a court official, his own prestige will definitely be affected by this, and his words in the future will definitely be questioned more.
If this was mentioned before his duties were decided, he would indeed consider it carefully.
But it's different now.
He has mastered the responsibility of keeping justice and the power of internal and external collection.
He is relatively familiar with the area of the East Courtyard, and there are many things he wants to find out there. He will keep an eye on it from now on.
Whenever something happened, he would be able to discover it immediately and deal with it in advance. Then there would be aftermath, and Dong Ting would have enough power to resist it.
If even he can't stop him, then there aren't many people in the court who can. Ordinary Xuanzun, whoever is sitting there is just average.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Tingzhi looked at the people above the river and said: "If you think there is a suitable Xuan Zun who is qualified for this position, you can tell me."
Zhong Tingzhi said at this time: "Chief Executive, fellow Tingzhi, the four major continents are different from other places. Dongting Province needs to be expanded outwards, and a person with suitable cultivation and merits must be established."
He paused and then said: "Previously, fellow Taoist Zhengqing was willing to go out of town, but the decision has not yet been made. There are many dangers on the land of Dongting, so this is a suitable place. Therefore, Chongmou proposed and asked fellow Taoist Zhengqing to
Go and guard the East Courtyard."
Chong Tingzhi also agreed: "Exactly, Taoist friend Zhengqing is a Taoist who has achieved excellent results, and his past qualifications and achievements are also impeccable..."
"That's not right."
Just as he said this, his words were interrupted by a voice. Everyone looked and saw that it was Chao Huan, and suddenly felt a sense of naturalness.
Chongting said: "What's wrong?"
Chao Huan said: "Chongtingzhi, Taoist friend Zhengqing did have merits in the past, but since he was expelled, his past merits have long been lost. The court has already made a decision. This is not something worth mentioning.
If we talk about the past, he is no different from the two mentioned by Zhang Tingzhi."
Chongting paused for a moment and admitted: "I made a mistake. However, Taoist friend Zhengqing made great achievements in the battle of Shangchentian this time. And Taoist friend Zhengqing has great magical power and can surpass others. This
It’s not false, even if you don’t need to mention your past achievements, your past experience is something that others don’t have.”
After Lin Tingzhi heard what he said, he looked away and said, "Do you have any recommendations?"
The rest of the court officials remained silent.
Generally speaking, they will show favor to such recommendations. As long as it does not violate the rules of Tianxia Daoxian, or conflicts with their own demands, they will not confront the Tingzhi who made the recommendation on this matter.
Come on, especially since Zhang Yu just became the emperor, there is no need for them to do this.
Lin Tingzhi asked after asking, and when he saw that everyone was making suggestions, he said: "Then those who have to be recommended now are the three Xuanzuns, Taoist friend Zhengqing, Wanming Xuanzun and Liang Xuanzun. Dongting Xuanzun should start from here.
Choose among the three.”
Chongting said: "Not to mention the other two, Liang Xuanzun felt that something was wrong with him. This person is Yu Changzun's disciple. Now Yu Xuanzun is still in jail, so it is not appropriate to use his disciples.
."
Although Liang Yi is Liang Yi, Yu Chang is Yu Chang, and Tian Xia has never been implicated, it is not that he has no choice now. Since there are other candidates, there is no need to use someone who is likely to cause criticism and criticism.
Taoist Yusu said: "I think Taoist friend Zhengqing is not suitable to serve as the leader of Dongting Court. He is a true cultivator, and there are many mysterious cultivators in Dongting land, so it is not suitable to use him."
Chong Tingzhi said seriously: "Yusu Tingzhi, we are in harmony with all Taoists in Tianxia. How can we say that the duty of guarding can distinguish between truth and mystery? This is a narrow statement!"
Taoist Yusu said with a slight mockery: "You can ignore the difference between Zhenxuan and Zhenxuan, but don't forget what happened to Guo Zhen back then. With Zhengqing's words and deeds at the time, it is really difficult for me to trust him, and I will not deny it. If Zhengqing is put here,
, which may lead to a recurrence of this problem.”
Zhong Tingzhi shook his head and said: "This is too much to say. Fellow Taoist Zhengqing may have been wrong at the beginning, but he is no longer the same person now."
Taoist Yu Su turned his gaze away and said: "Zhong Tingzhi, as the recommended person, do you dare to testify that Zhengqing will not do anything detrimental to Xuanxiu in the continent?"
Chong Tingzhi believed that Zhengqing would not do this, because Zhengqing's target was Tingzhi, and his position was not that low. However, it was impossible for him to guaranty Zhengqing Taoist. If anything happened, he would be implicated, so
He didn't answer.
Dai Tingzhi said at this time: "Everyone, in the Inner Continent, you not only need someone who is good at pioneering and enterprising, but also needs colleagues who can coordinate the four directions. In this regard, both Liang Xuanzun and fellow Taoist Zhengqing have flaws. Wan Mingxuan
It is more appropriate to respect it.”
What he said is actually a subtle expression. Teacher Liang Yi was detained, but the Zhengqing lineage had a bad reputation in the past. Although this was not a matter of Zhengqing, it was someone else who borrowed his name, and he later personally cleared it.
Although the superficial impact of this matter can be eliminated, the thoughts deep in the heart are difficult to disappear.
Feng Taoist also said: "It is indeed true. You court officials must have never noticed that when Dongting was still the Protector's Mansion, there was a man who worshiped fellow Taoist Zhengqing as his ancestor. This person connected with the alien gods and intended to destroy the Protector's Mansion, and even
Killing all the monks involved the entire Dongting continent and had a huge impact. Millions of people in Tianxia still remember it fresh.
Let me ask you about this situation. If Xuan Ting sends Taoist friends Zhengqing to Dongting, how can the people of Tianxia not have doubts? How can Xuanfu Zhoufu not have concerns? I am afraid that people will not be at ease by then, which will be detrimental to the overall situation."
If the previous words were just an argument, these words made everyone in the court think seriously.
Indeed, regardless of whether that person was a descendant of Zhengqing, the impact he had on the East Courtyard was real. Wherever Zhengqing Taoist went, there was no guarantee that the people below would not think too much about it.
Chen Tingzhi nodded and said: "What Feng Tingzhi said is reasonable. Stabilizing the situation in Fuzhou is the first priority. Fellow Taoist Zhengqing is not suitable to go to Dongting.
I just looked through the past actions of Liang Yi and Zhengqing Daoist Daoist Chapter. Both of them made contributions to Tianxia in the past, but Liang Yi has been in the outer layer for a long time and has almost never been to the inner layer. On the contrary, Wan Ming has never been to the inner layer.
Before the change of the turbid tide, I had been practicing in the inner level before I achieved Xuanzun, and I have a better understanding of the inner level. If I choose one person, I think Wan Ming is more suitable."
Wei Ting said: "That's right. The current situation is no longer what it was more than three hundred years ago. Heavy security is better than heavy war. On the contrary, war is still more important than peace in the outer layer. If the two of them choose a place to guard, everything will be lost.
Taoist friends from the Ming Dynasty are suitable for guarding the inner level, while Taoist friends from the Zhengqing Dynasty are suitable for going to the outer level."
Zhu Tingzhi also said at this moment: "If you choose one person from the three, I will mention Wanming Xuanzun. I know this person. He was originally a monk in Qingyang Shangzhou. He has all the abilities and deeds. Even if he
I have recently achieved great success in Taoism, but I am qualified for this position."
After hearing these words, the rest of Tingzhi also leaned towards Taoist Wanming.
Several people looked at Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi. If these people objected to this matter, there would still be a recurrence.
Zhong Tingzhi pondered for a moment. If he persisted at this moment, he could try to overturn the matter, but it was not necessary.
After all, they wanted to support Zhengqing to become the ruler of the court, so that they could curb Xuanfa together. They chose Dongting because it had more opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and it might change the structure of the continent. Since this was not possible, it would be better to arrange it elsewhere.
Only this person who has made enough meritorious service can be qualified to serve as a court official earlier. After all, compared to the other Xuanzuns, this person has achieved superior merit and was promoted much faster.
After thinking about it, he didn't persist anymore.
Lin Tingzhi saw that he was no longer making any sound here, and he nodded and said: "It seems that all the court officials think that Wanming Xuanzun recommended by Zhang Tingzhi is more suitable." He turned around and saluted the first Taoist, and said: "Sir
If he has no objections, he can be appointed as the guard of the East Courtyard."
The first Taoist nodded and said, "You can ask the question accordingly."
Feng Taoist couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
He knows very well that Dongtingfuzhou is a very important place for Xuanfa Xuanxiu.
Dongting has been away from the mainland of Tianxia for decades, and with the loss of true cultivation power, Xuanfa has accidentally become the mainstream practice method for all cultivators, and it remains the same to this day.
This is rare in other continents. For example, in Yiluo Shangzhou, ten years ago, Zhenxiu still controlled everything. This was not the case in other realms. Most of the upper levels were Zhenxiu, while Xuanxiu lived in the lower reaches.
Compared with its boundaries, the East Courtyard has no constraints at all and is more conducive to the prosperity of Xuan Dharma. Such an important place cannot be occupied by a cultivator like Zheng Qing who blindly advocates the true Dharma.
Now that the territorial layout of the thirteen continents in the continent has been roughly determined, only Dongting and the other three continents can expand outward. Among them, Dongting undoubtedly has greater potential than the other three continents.
Therefore, he even considered that if Xuan Ting really decided to let Zhengqing go to Dongting to guard, then he would have to resign as a court official and go to Dongting to guard himself.
With his status as the Tingzhi, Xuanting decided not to refute his decision to serve as the Xuanshou. He just lost the Tingzhi and became the Xuanshou of a continent. It was difficult for him to weigh the gains and losses.
Fortunately, with this result, it is no longer necessary to make this choice.
