Chapter 671: Talking about the scriptures
Discussing the Taoist scriptures with Lang Zhengchun, the emperor of the faith, there is nothing exciting. The verses of the "Red Pine Nut" are not obscure, but very vernacular, and are basically the latest chapter of the brood of the dead that teaches people to be good. [Text debut.] See.. For example: "Therefore, people who cultivate good all their lives do not have to choose good times and auspicious days. ”
This is to teach people to do good deeds anytime and anywhere, and if they do good deeds, they will be blessed by the gods.
The two talked for a long time, and Song Zheng vaguely touched Lang Zhengchun's meaning. It turns out that Lang Zhengchun is most concerned about how to live longer. There is a passage in "The Commandment of Red Pine Nuts", which is the Yellow Emperor's question about lifespan. The Yellow Emperor asked Chi Songzi how old a person should live. Chi Songzi said, "If a person falls to the earth, God will give him a long life, 43,800 days, and he will be 120 years old." The Yellow Emperor asked why some people died in their mother's womb, or died after only a few years of life, and what taboo was committed. Chi Songzi's answer was, "This is the sin of the ancestors, and it will be left behind." And then he went on to explain a whole lot of truth.
The founding emperor of Shu was Lang Yucheng, who was originally a general of the former Song Dynasty stationed in Shu, and later became emperor. Lang Zhengchun is more superstitious, probably because he feels that his ancestors can't stand the Great Song Dynasty. According to the view that "the sins of the ancestors will be left behind", the descendants should be unlucky, so they will not live to be 120 years old. Sure enough, none of the Lang family has lived past one hundred and twenty, except for Lang Yucheng, who has lived a little longer, and none of his descendants have even lived past 60. This became Lang Zhengchun's heart knot.
Emperor Lang Zhengchun deserves it well, but he doesn't want to be finished in a few years, so he wants to seek some way to live forever. Therefore, he believed in the Tao, perhaps because he felt that entering the Dao Gate could be regarded as "jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements", and the sins of the ancestors could not be left on him.
Sensing Lang Zhengchun's intentions, Song Zheng almost didn't laugh. Isn't this pure, how can anyone live to one hundred and two so easily? In this era, it is quite good to live fifty or sixty years old, and if you live past seventy years old like Xiaotong and are still alive, you can be regarded as "Renrui".
As far as Shu is concerned, the founding emperor Lang Yucheng was born as a military general, and his physical foundation is good, so it is normal to live a little longer. But his children and grandchildren don't have a few dancing knives and sticks, plus brocade clothes and jade food, he likes to pick up girls and drink, and his life expectancy is in his fifties, which is normal.
Although Lang Zhengchun has become a "saint Zhenren", he is still worried that the curse of "not living to sixty" will come to him, and he lacks confidence in his heart, so he found the answer in the Taoist scriptures. It is a pity that this scripture has also been learned crookedly, according to the point of view on the "Red Songzi Commandment", if a person is evil, God will take away his lifespan, if there is little evil, he will take three or two years, and if there is many evil, he will take twenty or thirty years. In this way, Lang Zhengchun should be dedicated to goodness.
It's a pity that Lang Zhengchun is very proficient in learning "rule by inaction", although he doesn't do much evil, he doesn't do much good deeds. He always wondered if his ancestors had done something bad. Thinking about it, the biggest bad thing may be that Lang Yucheng became the emperor as a courtier.
The founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, the butcher, was still coy back then, supported a distant branch of the imperial family surnamed Zhao in the previous dynasty, and then made a Zen to ascend the throne. Lang Yucheng didn't do it, and became the emperor directly, isn't it a big rebellion?
There is also a precedent for being called the emperor in this part of Shu. For example, Liu Bei, the big-eared thief back then, was also the seventh son of Emperor Xiaojing of the Han Dynasty, after King Zhongshan Jing, he called the emperor and the queen country is also Han. Lang Yucheng did not have the ancestor of being the emperor, and directly got a Shu country, and learned from the former Shu and later Shu Meng families. Wang Jian of the former Shu was named the king of Shu by the Tang Dynasty, and Meng Zhixiang, the founding emperor of the later Shu, said that the emperor was the envoy of the Xichuan Festival.
Although he understood Lang Zhengchun's intentions, Song Zheng did not dare to say that he agreed. Just kidding, as long as Song Zheng says that Lang Yucheng is not, Lang Zhengchun will take Song Zheng down as soon as possible, and the stick is light.
Song Zheng also has a way, which emperor who has been the founder of the country since ancient times has such a clean background? Liu Bang was originally a scoundrel, Yang Jian was a relative, and Li Shimin was even more Xianbei. All in all, not much clean.
After Song Zheng's euphemistic persuasion, although Lang Zhengchun didn't untie many knots, he was still very happy.
After talking about the Taoist scriptures for a long time, Lang Zhengchun put aside the "Red Songzi Commandment" without finishing his thoughts, and after letting people serve tea, they talked about business.
"Song Zhuangyuan, I heard that you once met an assassin on your way to my Dashu?"
stopped talking about Taoism, returned to the world, and the two of them were no longer "holy people" and "spiritual empty people", and restored their status as envoys and emperors.
"The Holy One is really well-informed, and even knows such secret things." Song Zheng is not strange at all, there is the Xiao Yun next to Su Chan, Jiang Kui doesn't know anything. Jiang Kui knows, and Lang Zhengchun can also know.
"Is that man also dressed in black, with a short bow and poisoned arrows?"
Song Zheng nodded, there was no point in concealing it at this time. After the assassination outside the Wuhou Temple, the reason why Song Zheng didn't say it was because he wanted the people of Shu to owe him a favor and leave a way back for himself. Looking at it now, Lang Zhengchun obviously thinks that the assassin came by himself and almost shot Lang Bochuan, just to harm the pond fish. Presumably, Jiang Kui, who is in charge of investigating this matter, also used this as an excuse.
"Do you know the origin of this dagger and the poison of the arrows?"
"I've heard a little bit of the legend of the Nine Crystals, read it all." Song Zheng's heart jumped, it seems that there is another way to do this. Then the bow is used by the barbarians in southern Shu, and the poison called "Wan Ratu" is also produced by the barbarians.
Sure enough, Lang Zhengchun said, "Do you think that assassin was sent by our Shu people?" ”
Song Zheng hurriedly said, "The foreign minister doesn't dare." However, there was a look of indignation on his face.
Lang Zhengchun sighed, "Song Zhuangyuan, since you entered my Dashu, you have become famous, and now you are the most popular person in Chengdu Mansion. Except for a few Confucian scribes who don't know the height of the sky, you are very welcome in Chengdu Mansion. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also have a lot of praise for you, and no one will use that shady means against you. ”
"The minister knows." Song Zheng still lowered his head.
"Alas, I've heard a little bit of news these days, didn't you come to my Dashu willingly?"
Song Zheng was silent, he knew that Lang Zhengchun wanted to tell him that those assassins were from Daqi, and they had nothing to do with Shu State. But Song Zheng pretended to be confused, anyway, the person who was going to do evil arrived in Chengdu, and openly released poisoned arrows at the prince and me, you had better give an explanation, it's really not good, it's okay to compensate for it with more silver.
"That's it!" Seeing that Song Zheng's face was still gloomy, Lang Zhengchun said, "In this way, I will send you more people to protect you." I promise you that no matter what happens in the two countries, I will not involve you personally, and that every day you are in Shu will be safe. If you go back, I will send you back to the Qishu border. ”
Song Zheng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and made a joke, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”
Lang Zhengchun smiled, "I see that you are also very proficient in the Taoist scriptures, if you have time, can you come and talk to me more?" ”
"I don't dare to resign what the foreign minister wants." Song Zheng said respectfully.
Lang Zhengchun smiled and nodded, "I have a first-grade Dao robe here, and a golden jade Dao crown, which will be sent to the Purple Qi Yuan in a while." After that, I came here in my robes. ”
Song Zheng pouted secretly, why did he accidentally become a god stick again?
When it came to Taoism, the two talked about Taoism for a while. Song Zheng is a person who has turned over the Daozang, and he has read a lot of various Taoist scriptures, which naturally makes Lang Zhengchun very satisfied.
During the conversation, Song Zheng mentioned that Dajin invaded Tokyo and transported the Daozang Ancient Brain back to Zhongdu, where the scriptures should be very complete. Lang Zhengchun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Let them send a little more next time." ”
Song Zheng immediately understood that Yuan Haowen must have brought a lot of scriptures to Lang Zhengchun, including the "Red Songzi Commandment" in his hand.
After a trip to the Shu Palace, Song Zheng still gained a lot, at least he had a relationship with the emperor of Shu, and he also earned a Taoist suit, Song Zheng was not dissatisfied, and he was also happy on the way back. What he is thinking about now is that in a few days, he will get acquainted with Lang Zhengchun and see if there is a chance to fish out Su Chan.
Regarding Su Chan, Song Zheng didn't dare to act rashly. Su Chan is in Jiang Kui's hands, if he rashly goes to Lang Bochuan for help, Jiang Kui may kill Su Chan first. It is best to inquire about Su Chan's whereabouts first and make sure that he is okay before taking action.
This time when he came to Shu, Song Zheng was most worried about his own safety. Now that he has Lang Zhengchun's guarantee, of course, he must rescue Su Chan as much as he can. Before that, Song Zheng himself was difficult to protect, let alone Su Chan.
Not long after returning to Ziqiyuan, the things promised by the old emperor were delivered. The robe was very luxurious, and it was woven from the finest silk of a water. The Bagua pattern on the front chest and back is embroidered with black gold silk and silver silk respectively. As for the Dao crown, it is full of gold and jade Wang Yue crown. In the Quanzhen Path, only Taoist priests who have received the three great precepts can be used. Song Zheng has not received any major precepts, and it is not in line with Taoist etiquette to wear this. I don't know how Lang Zhengchun learned the Daomen, so he actually asked Song Zheng to wear the Wuyue crown into the palace next time.
"Xiaolang, you are really a god." The jealous Yuan Hao asked about the authentic taste. He presented a few Zhenxi Taoist scriptures to the old emperor, but unfortunately Yuan Haowen didn't have much research on the Taoist scriptures, so he couldn't coax the old emperor to be happy like Song Zheng.
Song Zheng was naturally quite proud, "Brother Yu, your envoy is not qualified." Since you know that His Majesty Dashu is good, why don't you study a little more? ”
Yuan Hao asked and waved his hand again and again, "Ami camel Buddha, don't mention this to me, I have a headache when I look at it." ”
"It turned out to be a Buddhist bald donkey! Hmph, bald donkey, he dared to rob the teacher with the poor road, and he was impatient. Song Zheng looked like a scoundrel.
"Where is this?" Yuan Hao asked while holding back a smile, but also a little helpless.
The next few days will be free. With the 200 guards sent by Lang Zhengchun, Song Zheng also dared to go out. I often take Yuan Haowen out to hang out, and I have seen all the attractions in Chengdu. Sometimes he also pulls up Lang Bochuan, but unfortunately, Lang Bochuan has learned a lesson and doesn't dare to come out casually. Even if you come out once, you have to step on it three days in advance, and that frame is stricter than the emperor's travel. Lang Bochuan is kind-hearted and unwilling to disturb the people, unlike Song Zheng, who doesn't care about it.
Every once in a while, Song Zheng put on a Taoist robe and wore a Taoist crown, and went to chat with the old emperor, and his life was quite nourishing. However, this was only a superficial phenomenon, Zhang Chong was sent out by him, together with Wang Ruoxiong, to investigate the news of Su Chan. Yuan Haowen was also asked by Song Zheng to secretly help investigate. It's just looking for someone in a huge Chengdu mansion, it's really looking for a needle in a haystack.
In this way, Song Zheng was either hanging around, or chatting with the emperor and the prince, and he had a very nourishing life. As for the matter, Song Zheng also asked a few times. But the Shu State Rite Room, which was responsible for receiving Song Zheng, blindly shirked, didn't talk to Song Zheng, and didn't even talk about it.
Song Zheng had no choice but to wait for the news of the war in the north.
Until the beginning of October, Song Zheng was planning to find an excuse to go out of the city and go to Qingcheng Mountain to see Li Yongxi, when news came from Guanzhong, "The Qi army is trapped in Chang'an."
