Lin Tingzhi could not help but nod. "I know that these two are Xuan Zun who have recently achieved Dao. Like Zhang Tingzhi, they have also achieved Dao through Xuan Techniques. It is not easy."
Chong Tingzhi then said, "Zhang Tingzhi, we all know that when you were guarding the East Court, you were frequently attacked by the EsGods. These EsGods were all subdued by Zhang Tingzhi.
With Zhang Tingzhi's abilities, there is no problem guarding the East Court. However, these two are far from being comparable to you. Are they really up to the task? Are they really capable of guarding this land? "
He looked at Zhang Yu and said slowly, "Zhang Tingzhi, you have to consider this carefully. If something happens to the person you are recommending, you will also have to bear the responsibility."
Zhang Yu replied, "Since I am recommending these two, I will naturally bear the responsibility."
He knew that Chong Tingzhi was not wrong. If something happened to the recommended Xuan Zun, as the person who recommended him, he would also be implicated.
Although this would not affect his position as a court administrator, his prestige would definitely be affected, and his words would definitely be questioned in the future.
If this matter was mentioned before his position was confirmed, he would indeed consider it carefully.
However, it was different now.
He had taken over the position of Shouzheng and had the authority to collect taxes from both inside and outside.
He was more familiar with the East Court, and there were many things he wanted to understand there. He would keep an eye on that place in the future.
If anything happened, he would be able to discover it immediately and deal with it in advance. Even if there were any repercussions, the East Court would be able to withstand it.
If even he could not withstand it, there were not many people in the court who could. Any ordinary Xuan Zun would not be able to withstand it.
Lin Tingzhi listened to the conversation between the two and looked at the people above the river. "If you think that there is a suitable Xuan Zun for this position, you can also speak up."
At this moment, Zhong Tingzhi said, "First Deacon, Deacons, the Four Prefectures are different from other prefectures. The Eastern Court Prefecture needs to expand outwards, and we must appoint someone with a suitable cultivation base."
He paused and said, "Previously, the Zhengqing Daoist was willing to guard this area, but it has not been decided. There are many dangers in the East Court, and this is a suitable place. Therefore, I suggest that we let the Zhengqing Daoist guard the East Court."
Chong Tingzhi also agreed. "Yes, the Zhengqing Daoist is a cultivator with excellent achievements. His past achievements are also impeccable …"
"That's not right."
Just now, he was interrupted by a voice. Everyone looked over, and when they saw that it was Chao Huan, they immediately felt that it was only right and proper.
Chong Tingzhi asked, "How is it not right?"
Chao Huan said, "Chong Tingzhi, the Zhengqing Daoist did have achievements in the past, but after he was banished, his past achievements have been taken away. The court has already made a judgment, and this is not something worth mentioning. If we talk about his past, he is no different from the two people that Zhang Tingzhi mentioned."
Chong Tingzhi paused for a moment, then admitted, "I have misspoken. However, the Zhengqing Daoist has made great achievements in the conquest of Shangchen. The Zhengqing Daoist's mana is profound, and he can surpass others. This is not false. Even if we don't mention his past achievements, his past experience is something that others do not have. "
Lin Tingzhi listened to him, then looked away and said, "Do you have any recommendations?"
The remaining Chong Tingzhi did not speak.
Generally speaking, they would do a favor for such a recommendation. As long as it did not go against the rules of Tianxia's Dao, or conflict with their own demands, they would not oppose the Chong Tingzhi's recommendation. Especially since Zhang Yu had just become a Chong Tingzhi, there was no need for them to do so.
Lin Tingzhi asked. Seeing that everyone was making their own suggestions, he said, "Now, there are three Xuan Zun to be recommended. They are the Zhengqing Daoist, Wanming Xuan Zun, and Liang Xuan Zun. The head of the Dongting Court will be chosen from these three."
Chong Tingzhi said, "Let's not talk about the other two. I feel that Xuan Zun is not suitable. This person is Yu Xuanzun's disciple. Now that Yu Xuanzun is still in prison, it is not suitable to use his disciple."
Even though Liang Yi was Liang Yi, and Yu Chang was Yu Chang, and Tianxia had never implicated them, it was not like they were out of options. Since there were other candidates, there was no need to use someone who could easily be criticized and attacked.
Yu Su Daoist said, "I think that the Zhengqing Daoist is not suitable to be the Chong Tingzhi. He is a True Cultivator, and there are many Xuanxiu in the Dongting Court. It is not suitable to use him."
Chong Tingzhi said seriously, "Chong Tingzhi, Tianxia's Dao is harmonious. How can the Chong Tingzhi's position be different from that of a True Cultivator? That is too narrow-minded! "
Yu Su Daoist said with a hint of mockery, "We can ignore the difference between True Cultivators and Xuan, but don't forget about the incident with Guo Zhen. Based on Zhengqing's words and actions back then, it is difficult for me to trust him. I will not avoid saying that if Zhengqing is placed here, I am afraid that the same thing will happen again."
Zhong Tingzhi shook his head and said, "That is too much. The Zhengqing Daoist may not have been the same in the past, but he is not the same person now."
Yu Su Daoist looked over and said, "Zhong Tingzhi, as the person who recommended you, do you dare to swear that Zhengqing will not do anything that is detrimental to the Xuanxiu of the continent?"
Chong Tingzhi believed that Zhengqing would not do that, because Zhengqing's goal was to be a Tingzhi, and he did not have such low standards. However, it was impossible for him to vouch for Zhengqing. If something happened, he would be implicated, so he did not say anything.
Dai Tingzhi then said, "Everyone, in the inner layer of the continent, not only must there be someone who is good at pioneering and forging ahead, but also someone who has the ability to reconcile the four sides. On this point, Liang Xuan Zun and Zhengqing Daoist are both flawed. Wan Ming Xuan Zun is more suitable."
His words were actually hinting that Liang Yi's teacher was detained, but Zhengqing's lineage had a bad reputation in the past. Although this was not Zhengqing's matter, but someone else had used his name, and he had personally taken action to wash away this matter, the influence on the surface could be removed, but the thoughts in the depths of people's hearts could not be removed.
Daoist Feng also said, "That is indeed the case. I believe that all of you have not noticed, but when Dong Ting was still a Protectorate, there was a person who became the disciple of the Zhengqing Daoist. That person colluded with EsGod and wanted to destroy the Protectorate and even kill all the cultivators. This matter involved the entire continent of Dong Ting and had a huge impact. The millions of people of Tianxia still remember it.
Under such circumstances, if Xuanting sent the Zhengqing Daoist to Dong Ting, how could the people of Tianxia not be suspicious? How could the Xuanfu Prefecture not have any concerns? I am afraid that the people will not be at ease, and it will be detrimental to the overall situation. "
If the previous words were just an argument, these words made all of the court officials seriously think about it.
Indeed, not to mention whether that person was a descendant of Zhengqing, the influence that he had in Dong Ting was real. If Zhengqing Daoist went there, it was hard to guarantee that the people below would not think too much.
Chen Tingzhi nodded and said, "What Daoist Feng said is reasonable. The stability of the prefecture is the most important thing. The Zhengqing Daoist is not suitable to go to Dong Ting.
Just now, I used the Xuntian Dao Zhang to look through the past of Liang Yi and the Zhengqing Daoist. Both of them have contributed greatly to Tianxia, but Liang Yi has been in the outer layer for a long time and has almost never entered the inner layer. On the other hand, Wan Ming has been cultivating in the inner layer from before the Turbid Tide to before he became the Xuan Zun, so he has a better understanding of the inner layer. If we were to choose one person, I think Wan Ming is more suitable. "
Wei Tingzhi said, "That's right. The current situation is not the same as three hundred years ago. Peace prevails in the war, but the war in the outer layer is still more important than peace. If the two of them choose to guard a place, Wan Ming is suitable to guard the inner layer prefecture, while the Zhengqing Daoist is suitable to guard the outer layer."
At this moment, Zhu Tingzhi also said, "If we were to choose one of the three, I would recommend Wan Ming as the Xuan Zun. I know this person. He was originally a cultivator of the Qingyang Upper Continent. He has both abilities and achievements. Even though he has only recently achieved Dao, he is qualified for this position."
After hearing these words, the rest of the court officials also leaned towards Wan Ming Daoist.
A few people looked towards Zhong Tingzhi and Chong Tingzhi. If these people opposed this matter, then there would be a change of heart.
Zhong Tingzhi muttered to himself. If they insisted on it now, they could try to push this matter aside, but there was no need to do so.
After all, they wanted to support Zhengqing to become the court official, so that they could suppress Xuan Fa together. Choosing the East Court was because there were more opportunities to perform meritorious deeds there, and it could change the situation in the continent. Since this could not be done, then it was better to arrange it elsewhere.
Only if this person performed meritorious deeds, then he could become the court official sooner. After all, compared to Yu Xuanzun, this person had the best achievements, and would be promoted much faster.
After thinking about it, he did not insist on it.
Lin Tingzhi saw that he did not say anything, nodded and said, "It seems like all the court officials think that Wan Ming Xuan Zun, who is recommended by Zhang Tingzhi, is more suitable." He turned and bowed to the Head Daoist, and said, "Head Daoist, send a decree to ask Wan Ming Xuan Zun. If he has no objections, he can be appointed as the East Court's guardian."
The Head Daoist nodded and said, "You can ask according to this."
Daoist Feng could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was very clear that the East Court Prefecture was a very important territory to Xuan Fa Xuanxiu.
The East Court was far away from the Tianxia mainland for dozens of years. After the power of True Cultivators was exhausted, Xuan Fa unexpectedly became the mainstream cultivation method of all Daoist cultivators, and it was still so until now.
This was rare in the other continents. For example, the Yi Luo Continent was ruled by True Cultivators ten years ago, but the other territories were not so. The upper levels were mostly True Cultivators, and Xuanxiu was in the lower levels.
Compared to the other territories, the East Court could be said to have no restrictions, and was more conducive to the prosperity of Xuan Fa. Such an important place definitely could not be occupied by True Cultivators like Zhengqing who blindly advocated True Cultivators.
Now that the structure of the thirteen continents had been more or less settled, only the East Court and the other three prefectures could still expand outwards. Among them, the East Court undoubtedly had greater potential than the other three prefectures.
As a result, he had even considered that if the Xuanting Court really decided to send Zhengqing to guard the Eastern Court, he might as well resign from his position as the Court Enforcer and ask to go guard the Eastern Court himself.
With his status as court official, Xuanting would definitely not refuse to take up the position of Xuan Chief. However, it was difficult for him to weigh the pros and cons of losing a court official and becoming the Xuan Chief of a continent.
Fortunately, with the result now, there was no need to make this choice.
