When Zheng Sixiao saw the pre-Qin Gujian of Shijing Pavilion, he was even more excited and couldn't stop it, and he actually cried loudly. Zheng Sixiao is different from Wen Tianxiang, he is a pure scholar, although he has the madness of a literati, but he is also more affectionate.

Therefore, the impact of the lost Gu Jian on him is even greater than the impact on Wen Tianxiang.

"Your Majesty, this is the Mandate of Heaven, the Mandate of Heaven!" Zheng Sixiao laughed again, "Not only is it the destiny of the Tang Kingdom, but also the Chinese heritage, this is Xia Ye!" ”

Li Luo said with a smile: "Mr. Yi Weng, when these ancient books come out, can they clear up the source, reform science and education, and correct literature and Taoism?" ”

"Yes!" Zheng Sixiao said without hesitation, "These ancient Janes are where the literary system is, and Yuan Xue is also." He who speaks for the saints will have no place to be ashamed. I have always thought that Confucianism is also Taoist. Taoism, the foundation of Confucianism. However, now it has become Zhu Chenglixue, which is simply ridiculous! ”

The literature and Taoism of China began to change from the Song Dynasty, and the "Sinology" that had been inherited for thousands of years was replaced by "science". The essence of science is "moral religion", which advocates that morality is the principle of heaven, so as to educate the heart, and then govern the country with virtue! Inner Saint and Outer King!

That is... The way of virtue!

Isn't it lofty?

Compared with Sinology, which studies the scriptures and exegesis, the science of science has made great progress, and has made a qualitative leap at the ideological level, rising to the level of philosophy and religion. The science of science was not created out of thin air, but was "retro" according to the pre-Qin Taoism and Confucianism.

Lijiao is a religion that worships moral principles, and the supreme god is "Haotian God", that is, the way of heaven. The second is the Son of Heaven who represents the way of heaven, then the ancestral parents who inherit the way of heaven, and finally the teacher who teaches the way of heaven. It belongs to the hierarchical worship of the Godhead, similar to Buddhism and Christianity.

Rationalism is a very delicate and rigorous religion. The temple of Rationalism is the ubiquitous Temple of Confucius. Lijiao is a local religion that combines Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

Therefore, Li Luo thought that many traversers completely denied science and shouted to fight and kill, so he was very embarrassed for them. Do you know what science is?

Science, like the imperial examination, is a good form. However, like the imperial examination, it is too narrow in content, and in the end, it will do more harm than good.

The content of the imperial examination is too narrow. The same goes for science.

The science of science only regulates the moral personality, and completely ignores natural philosophy. At the same time, the idea of universal benevolence that transcends race was too advanced, weakening the national martial spirit and inhibiting the expansion and enterprising spirit.

Second, the norms of science are too harsh and rigid, especially for women's morality, and even develop to the point of perversion, imprisoning the mind.

Therefore, Li Luo never intended to completely deny science, but only to undergo major surgery to reform and improve the content. Put Confucianism into the big basket of Taoism.

The new doctrine is Taoism. Aren't you regulating the way of man? Good. Samurai are also human, so you can add another martial arts standard. Bushido, I'll leave it to you, too.

Don't you worship the way of heaven? Well, the natural avenue is the heavenly way. Then, you have to take care of the natural avenue too. You can't just take care of people. All things naturally have spirits, and you can't favor one over the other.

Didn't you say that the way of heaven is natural? Okay, it's against nature for women to wrap their little feet, and you have to take care of this.

In the end, charity is good, but it also depends on whom. Is the way of forgiveness of the saints also for enemies and robbers? Repaying grievances with virtue, what does it mean to repay virtue? Therefore, you must advocate the Huayi debate and advocate the distinction between inside and outside.

……

Li Luo told Zheng Sixiao these thoughts one by one. Zheng Sixiao's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard it, and many of what Li Luo said were what he had thought of, and they were even grander than he had ever thought.

Unexpectedly, Tang Gong is so young, he has such knowledge, it is really a genius.

Even Wen Tianxiang was stunned when he heard it. Although Confucianism has a relationship with Taoism, and it is indeed a kind of Taoism itself, is it really feasible to turn Confucianism into Taoism?

"Mr. Yi Weng, can you complete what the widow said?" Li Luo asked expectantly.

Zheng Yiweng said: "With the ancient Jane testament in hand, the monarch will recruit famous Confucians, advocate righteousness, and when Mengyuan suppresses Confucianism, this matter will be done!" ”

He was right, if Da Song was still there now, it would be difficult for Li Luo and his ideas to be implemented. But now it is different, due to the entry of Meng Yuan into the Central Plains and the death of the Han people, all the scholars in the world are reflecting painfully, reflecting on why they died at the hands of Yidi.

In addition, Kublai Khan, the "great master of Confucianism", canceled the imperial examination, suppressed Han Confucianism, and regarded the Han people as slaves, so the Confucian scholars are currently very unconfident and are in unprecedented confusion.

At this time, reforming the science of science and turning Confucianism into Taoism not only gave the least resistance, but even allowed Confucian scholars to see hope and find an excuse to comfort themselves.

"Good! Then please leave this matter to Mr. Yi Weng! Li Luo said happily, "The widow intends to appoint Mr. Yi Weng as the Great Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Dao Mansion and the Minister of Sacrifice of the Five Temples. He is solely responsible for reforming Confucianism and turning Confucianism into Taoism. ”

Zheng Yi Weng Qi said: "The minister of the five temples? "Although he hadn't heard of the official position of the Great Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Dao Mansion, he knew what it meant. Although he himself is a great Confucian, he believes in Taoism, and this position is suitable for him.

But what kind of charter is the five temples to worship the ministers?

Wen Tianxiang took the initiative to explain: "I Tang take Taoism as the state religion, but this Taoism has also been reformed. Taoism has five major temples, namely the Taishang Laojun Temple that worships the way of heaven, and the Yanhuang Temple that worships the Son of Heaven and the ancestors... Collectively known as the Five Avenue Temples. ”

"The Five Avenue Temple, headed by the Laojun Temple that worships the Heavenly Dao. The second is the Yanhuang Ancestral Temple. In addition to worshipping the ancestors of Yanhuang, the Yanhuang Ancestral Temple also worships the Ming monarchs of the past dynasties......"

"The Five Avenue Temples are also divided into grades, the smallest is called She, then the temple, the largest is called the Palace, the Taishang Dao Palace and the Zhongwu Shrine have been completed. The three palaces of the Yanhuang Emperor Palace, the Most Shengwen Palace, and the Lumo Shrine are still under construction. ”

Zheng Yiweng understood, Tang Gong's idea was really wild. He asked again: "Since the Taoist temple is graded, then the temple Zhu Taoist priest should also be graded?" ”

Li Luo replied, "Not bad." The Taoist titles are divided into Daozi, Daoist, Daoshi, Daochang, Daozheng, Daosi, Daozun, Zhenren, Heavenly Master, Great Heavenly Master, etc., corresponding to the ten grades of civil and military. There is a "Taoist Official Code" to standardize, how to do Taoist officials, how to do sacrifices, there are rules to follow. ”

"Good!" Zheng Yiweng said happily, "The minister is willing to accept the position of the Great Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Dao Mansion and the Minister of Sacrifice of the Five Temples!" ”

Li Luo smiled: "Then it's hard Zheng Gong." The Great Heavenly Master is the same as the Prime Minister and the Tai Lieutenant, which should have been a good product. But now that I, Tang, am only a principality, and the highest is the third rank, and this great heavenly master can only be a third-rank position. ”

Zheng Yiweng smiled dumbly and said: "The king's words are serious, how can the ministers care about official products, but if they can serve the king and restore the Central Plains, it is enough to have a wish." ”

…………

On the edge of Luoning City, which is under construction, a tall building covering an area of more than ten acres with white walls and black tiles has been completed. This building seems to look like a temple, but because of the white walls and black tiles, it looks very solemn and solemn, and the overall style has a sense of gloom and sacredness.

There is also a torii at the entrance of the temple, with four large characters on the book: Zhongwu Shrine.

After the torii, there are nine steps. On the steps, it is a Sui and Tang style heavy eaves hall, not too tall, the plaque is inscribed with three big characters: martial arts pavilion.

The Martial Arts Pavilion is a three-room hall with a variety of weapons, armor, and a large number of murals on the walls that depict historical stories.

The mural stories include Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin, Nie Zheng's killing of the hero's tiredness, the wolf's courage to seek shame, Shu Liang Su's strength to lift the city gate, Qin Jin's father three climbing hanging cloth, Tian Heng's five hundred soldiers, the champion Hou Po Xiongnu, Ban Chao killing the envoy, Guan Yunchang scraping the bones to cure the poison, Zu Ti smelling the chicken dancing, Ran Min extinguishing Hu, Chen Qingzhi's lone army Northern Expedition and so on.

After the Martial Arts Pavilion, there is a taller main hall: the Zhongwu Temple.

In the main hall stood two statues of gods, both of which were one foot high. The one on the left is holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and the right is holding the Liquan Divine Spear, both of which are majestic and majestic, and they are the statues of Guan Yu and Yue Fei.

There are three incense burners in front of the statue, and the smoke is filling, which makes the whole hall more solemn.

On the side of the Zhongwu Temple, there is a martial arts arena covering an area of two acres, with five targets of different colors in the north and south, and five feather arrows of different colors in the bow pavilion on the side.

In addition, there is also the Wuhun Hall dedicated to the spiritual seat of the Chinese samurai, as well as the Shinshiin Temple, the Taoist Courtyard and other buildings used to live.

At this point, it was almost dusk. However, there was still a group of officers from the Zhongwu Shrine, all of whom were wearing new-style Xuan armor and carrying Tang knives at their waists, and they were in good spirits.

They came to the pool in the small square in front of the Martial Arts Pavilion, washed their hands first, and then wiped their hands with a white cloth. This first ritual is called "Cleaning Hands and Dusting".

After they cleaned their hands, they then climbed the stairs together, saluted the newly appointed Taoist officials, and then entered the martial arts pavilion to quietly observe the mural figures on the walls. There should be no noise in the whole process, no conversation is allowed, and efforts should be made to play with the heart. This second ritual is called the "Heart into the Painting Festival".

After that, they came to the main hall outside the Zhongwu Temple, took the Tang knife together, held it with both hands across their chests, and slowly climbed the stairs to the gate of the Zhongwu Temple.

At the entrance of the main hall, there was also a new Taoist official, sitting on the futon, looking at them quietly. In fact, it is to supervise their worship rituals.

On either side of the gate, there is a huge whetstone. On the edge of the whetstone, there is a sand table for each. They pulled out their Tang knives, half-knelt down, and symbolically sharpened them three times on the whetstone, then stood up and used the Tang knives to write the word "loyalty" in the sand table.

Then, kneeling down again, sharpening the knife three more times, and standing up again to write the word "brave".

In this way, it is performed five times in a row, and the five warrior characters of "loyalty, bravery, wisdom, faithfulness, and righteousness" are written in the sand table. This third ritual is called "Sharpening the Sword".

After completing the ritual of "sharpening the sword and respecting the way", they returned the knife into the sheath again, still holding it with both hands across their chests, and entered the main hall.

Then they bowed down in turn and bowed three times to the two idols. This fourth ritual is called "Repeating the Confession".

Then they sat on the futon, holding the Tang knife in both hands, facing the idol, closed their eyes to meditate and pray, about half a cup of tea, and then opened their eyes. This fifth ritual is called "Prayer to God to cleanse the heart."

In fact, it is a ritual of self-reflection and secretly praying to the gods.

Next, they looked at each other three times, and then raised the Tang knife flatly, and drew half of the blade, which was facing the idol on one side and reflecting their own face on the other. Then, with a sudden "bang", he returned the knife into the sheath and stood up neatly. This is the sixth ritual, called "Sword Identification of the Heart".

After they completed the "Sword Appraisal Heart", they held the knife in both hands, slowly withdrew from the main hall, and then turned around, and then put the Tang knife back on their waists.

Is it the end of the six ceremonies?

Of course not.

Next, they came to the "Martial Spirit Palace" after the Zhongwu Temple. The Martial Spirit Hall is burning with whale oil lanterns, and there is also a newly appointed Taoist official.

In the Wuhun Palace, the spiritual seat of hundreds of Haidong soldiers who died in the battle of the Japanese army is enshrined since Li Luo established the army. A pattern of the battle flag of the Tang Army, painted on the wall.

On each spirit card, the name, place of origin, clan, and military position of the soldiers who died in battle are written.

On the pillars in the main hall, there is a couplet:

"The heroes who are loyal to the country are here, and the soul of the demon defense is still there."

That's right, the Chinese warrior morality says that the enemy of China is the devil, the thief and the wicked are the devil, and the greed, cowardice, shamelessness, ignorance, disloyalty and injustice in their hearts are also demons.

The samurai's defense is not only to kill the demons such as the enemies of the people of the country, but also to kill the demons in their own hearts. In this way, he cultivated both inside and outside, and achieved the true way of the samurai.

In the smoke of cigarettes, the group of samurai officers who came in faced the spiritual position, took off their helmets, and bowed their heads in mourning for a while. This is the seventh ritual: the silent sacrifice of the spirit.

Then they turned to leave, and after stepping out of the threshold of the main hall, they turned around again, bowed to the hall, and shouted, "See you in the Yellow Spring!" ”

This was the first time they were allowed to speak after entering the Zhongwu Temple, and they could only say the words "meet in Huangquan".

This is the eighth ceremony, called "Meeting at the Nine Springs".

After they said goodbye to Huangquan, they came to the martial arts arena in the east, picked up their bows, and used different colors of loyal arrows, brave arrows, wisdom arrows, righteous arrows, and letter arrows in turn to shoot five targets of different colors. The names of the five target people are unfaithful, cowardly, ignorant, unrighteous, and unfaithful.

The target was ten zhang away, and all five arrows were shot in one round, and the ceremony ended.

This is the ninth ritual, called "Dao Arrow Punishment Demon". Loyalty, bravery, wisdom, faithfulness and righteousness are the five paths. Disloyalty, cowardice, ignorance, unrighteousness, and untrustworthiness are the five demons that must be killed.

After the ceremony of "Dao Arrow Punishment of Demons" is over, it can be registered with the Taoist official who manages the Dao Arrow, and the name, military position, unit to which it belongs, and the date of sacrifice can be left on the sacrificial record. Then, receive a "peace charm".

These nine ceremonies are the current standardized process for Tang warriors to worship the martial temple. It's just starting to catch on now.

Among the nine ceremonies, except for the eighth ceremony, "Meet in Jiuquan", which must say the words "meet in Huangquan", the other eight procedures are all unable to speak and remain silent.

Civil officials and ordinary people can also come to the shrine to worship, but there are only four ceremonies, and the other five ceremonies do not need to be held.

Anyone who comes to the Zhongwu Shrine to worship is a believer.

As soon as this group of samurai left the Chungmu Shrine, another group of samurai came to the door.

Since the Chungmu Shrine was repaired and opened, the samurai in the army have been coming to worship in an endless stream these days. As for the rituals of the sacrifice, of course, I have long been familiar with it through the "Chinese Samurai Doug" that was issued.

According to the regulations, the samurai should come to the martial temple every month to worship the martial saint Guan Yue and the martyrs. If you don't come in March for no reason, you will lose your samurai fame. Once the samurai status is lost, the military rank is also lost.

According to the moral model of the Chinese samurai, if the samurai did not save the people for no reason, and stood by and watched, it was cowardice and injustice, and it was an act of immorality. At least it will be demerit and reflection, and at worst, it will be removed from fame.

Of course, the treatment status of the Chinese warriors is also above the common people.

"Liu Weitai, now that you have been promoted to the deputy of the regiment, should you invite us to a drink?" After the sacrifice, as soon as the samurai left the Zhongwu Shrine, someone asked Liu Weitai, who had just been promoted to the deputy of the regiment, to treat him.

Liu Weitai's original name was Liu Sanjiu, and it was Li Luo who saved him and accepted him as a student. Liu Weitai became a team leader after graduation, participated in the battle of the Japanese Expedition, and after returning to Haidong, he was promoted to the joint deputy and now finally promoted to the regiment deputy deputy.

Li Luo has only trained a total of 200 cadets, and now all of them are officers at or above the joint level.

Liu Weitai said with a smile: "Okay, good, treat yourself." When we take a break this time, we will go to the restaurant near the Taishang Shrine to invite you. ”

As he was saying this, several generals suddenly came to him, led by a Tang sword with a purple scabbard, and that was the great samurai.

It just so happened that this person Liu Weitai knew that it was the commander of the Mountain Leopard Brigade: Shen Huahua.

Shen Huahua was originally a hundred households in the Yuan Army, because he was familiar with the southern rainforest and was very capable, and now he has been promoted to the commander of the Mountain Leopard Brigade, with the rank of General Zhonglang, and is the top figure in the middle row of generals of the Tang Army.

"Humble Liu Weitai, I've seen Shen Lvshuai!" Liu Weitai immediately beat his chest with his right hand and saluted. The others also hurried to salute.

Shen Peanhua nodded, which was considered a gift. The Tang Army and others are strictly disciplined, and those with low military ranks must salute when they see high military ranks. And those with high military ranks do not have to return the salute.

"Sacrificed? Is the ritual still familiar? Shen asked.

Liu Weitai said: "If you go back to the Shen Brigade Marshal, it is also the first time to come to the Divine Palace to worship, and the ceremony is not very familiar, but fortunately, there is no mistake." ”

Shen Huahua nodded, "Come a few more times, and it will be cooked." After speaking, without looking back, he led a group of samurai to the Zhongwu Shrine.

Since many samurai come to Chungmu Shrine every day to worship, the road to Chungmu Shrine is very lively, and business opportunities are immediately born. Now people are starting to set up shop on the side of the road.

The samurai continued to worship the Zhongwu Shrine, and soon reported it to Li Luo and Cui Xiuning.

"The samurai have taken the initiative to go to the sacrifice, and it seems that our propaganda is still very effective." Li Luo said with a smile, "The ritual itself has a strong brainwashing and hypnotic effect, especially this kind of group ritual model, which has a greater impact on people's hearts." ”

"After a few sacrifices, they gradually shape the samurai's sense of self. In less than two years, the morality of the Chinese warriors was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Of course, it is a good thing for the samurai to have martial virtues, but will it backfire and make the warriors unable to lose their tails?" Once their collective consciousness is formed, it will definitely surpass the military and form a political force, just like Japan in later generations. ”

Li Luo smiled: "You're too worried." It was a good thing for the samurai to develop a sense of self like the literati, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. After all, civil officials hold administrative power, financial power, and public opinion, and the samurai cannot fight them politically. ”

"In later generations, Japan was autocratic by the military, and that was because Japan lacked a traditional civil service system. In the Central Plains, on the contrary, the civil service tradition is deeply rooted. Therefore, the Japanese military generals suppressed the civilian officials, and the Central Plains was the civilian officials who suppressed the military generals. ”

"You must be underestimated by the inertia of history. If we don't support the generals, it won't be long before the civilian officials can trample them down, believe it or not? Even if the samurai class is completely formed in the future, it will only be able to compete with the civilian officials, and it is absolutely impossible to overpower the civilian officials. Don't forget, bushido will be regulated by Rikyo in the future. ”

Cui Xiuning smiled: "Okay, as soon as you say it, you are talking endlessly, but it makes sense." I don't care, as long as I don't leave a mess for my son. By the way, when will the three officer academies start? ”

"It's going to be the lunar month soon, let's start classes on the first day of the lunar month." Li Luo made a decision.

Tang Guo is finally going to establish an officer academy.

According to the plan of the two, the Tang State Officer Academy is divided into three schools: the Navy Academy, the Army Academy, and the Special Intelligence Academy.

The Naval Academy semester is one year, and each batch enrolls 200 people, and only literate sailor sergeants can apply for the examination, and the best are admitted. There are ten teachers in the Naval Academy, and all of them are selected from Li Luo's students in the Tang Army's naval division.

Dozens of Li Luo's students were officers of the naval division, and ten of them were selected to teach in the naval academy, which did not affect the daily training of the naval division.

The Army Academy has a semester of half a year, and each batch enrolls 500 students. The students are literate sergeants of the rank of chief, and they are admitted on the basis of merit. It is divided into five sections: the riding family, the firearms family, and the bow and crossbow family.

The teachers of the Army Academy are also mainly Li Luo's student officers in the army, and 30 people are selected.

The Special Intelligence Academy, of course, is to cultivate intelligence and spy talents. Each batch enrolls 200 students, and the duration of study is one year. Students were selected from the army, sailors, sergeants, and even the children of the common people.

The teachers of the Special Intelligence School are mainly Cui Xiuning's students.

Of course, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning are also teachers in the three schools, and they are also the patriarchs. The two of them also have to teach in person on a regular basis. The students of the three academies, of course, are also the students of the two.

Cui Xiuning is now more than three months pregnant, and her belly is starting to show her pregnancy, but there must be no problem in class. Her physical fitness belongs to the top-notch kind of women.

A few days later, it was the first day of the lunar month. The three schools opened at the same time, and Li Luo attended the opening ceremony in the three schools and took another class respectively.

On the second day of the lunar month, Li Luo left Haidong again and returned to Quanzhou on the other side of the strait.

In a flash, it was the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and the New Year was approaching, and the government was ready to start sealing the holiday.

At this moment, an important piece of information from Annan came.

On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, the army of the commander of the instigation capital was in Xianzi Pass, and was ambushed by Chen Rilian, the king of Zhaowen of Annan, the Yuan army was defeated, with countless casualties, and the instigation was wounded to break through, and the Mongolian general Umar, the party general Li Heng and other generals, most of them died in battle.

The Yuan army has finally been defeated!

Li Luo was suddenly a little excited.

The Yuan army openly conquered Vietnam in mid-October, and in late October it invaded the territory of Annam, and now it has been defeated in less than two months. For the second expedition in history, it took five or six months for the Yuan army to be completely defeated. But this time, it's been less than two months.

This was mainly due to the fact that the Special Investigation Bureau provided a large amount of military intelligence to the Chen Dynasty.
