Taoism has a special deep relationship with the Li Tang Dynasty, and one of the important reasons is that the traditional power of the clan was still very strong in the early Tang Dynasty, and if it was not a famous family, it would be difficult to gain the respect of the society.

There are many people who say that Li Yuan's stupidity caused his son to kill his brother, but in fact, the real Li Yuan's talent is not inferior to Li Er, if it weren't for Li Yuan to lay a good foundation for Li Er, then the rule of Zhenguan would be delayed for more than ten years.

Ji Yuan is still a person who is very good at using public opinion, and from the very beginning, he purposefully found some people to advocate the "Mandate of Destiny Theory" for himself, and the Wen mentioned above is an example.

Of course, Li Yuan would not be stupid enough to use only this one method. Classmate Wen belongs to the Confucian stream, and Li Yuan also caught the Dao stream! He also wanted to catch the Buddha stream, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, because the Sui Dynasty worshiped the Buddha and a new dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty, what benefits can the Buddhists get? The answer is obvious, at most, it is just flat, so Buddha Liu rarely accepts Li Yuan's olive branch.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were few scholars, and many people believed in local religions. It is no longer possible to verify what method Li Yuan used, but he succeeded.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Taoist priest Wang Yuanzhi pretended to serve the order of Laojun, and "secretly passed on the talisman order" to Li Yuan, and also predicted that Li Shimin would become the "Son of Peace" Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard it, and awarded Wang Yuanzhi Chaosan Doctor, and gave him a purple silk silk curtain and a golden Taoist crown, which expanded the influence of the Li family.

After doing this, Li Yuan found that those clans still looked down on their own royal family, so he changed his trick again. In the fifth month of the third year of Wude, a man named Ji Shanxing saw a white-haired old man riding a white horse with a red mane on Sheephorn Mountain.

Lao Suo told him: You go and tell Tang Tianzi, I am his ancestor, after quelling the thief rebellion this year, it is possible for grandchildren to be the son of heaven for a thousand years (obviously impossible, the entire Tang Dynasty is only less than 34 years" and subtract the period of Wu Zetian's reign, the number of years is even less pitiful). Ji Shanxing later told Li Yuan, "After Li Yuan heard this, he immediately set up a temple for Lao Su in Sheephorn Mountain." Needless to say, this is too old. Li Yuan and Li Shimin, who claimed to be the descendants of Taishang Laojun and sat in the world by the mandate of heaven, greatly improved the status of Taoism. Since then, he has truly determined that he is the descendant of Taishang Laojun "Li Dan", and he is the "Miao descendant of the immortals" (the Li royal family originally had Xianbei blood, but now it has been completely changed, and even his own race has been changed). The Li clan increased their worth, and Taoism became an important religion of the Li and Tang dynasties.

Opportunistic people are indispensable at all times, and some people see that they have the opportunity to climb the big tree, so they run to the Qin Wangfu and say what nonsense you have the order of the Son of Heaven, such as Xue Yi, Qihui and the like. Of course, there may be other Taoist priests who went to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to say the same thing, but their luck was a little worse.

However, where there are people, there are struggles, and monks who pay attention to the five pure roots are not exempt from vulgarity, they are thinking that they can win the support of the imperial court, but unfortunately they chose the wrong team at the beginning, so they are at a disadvantage in all the struggles of the Tang Dynasty (except for the Wu Zetian period, she did not see herself as a person surnamed Li, and even posthumously crowned her father as Emperor Xiaoming Gao of the Southern Zhou Dynasty Taizu Shou Shangxiaoming Gao).

In the eighth year of Wude (the year of sunning), Tang Gaozu Li Yuan even directly issued an edict announcing that among the three religions, Taoism ranked first, Confucianism ranked second, and Buddhism ranked third, and the status of Taoism was like a green cloud.

If you want to say whether Li Yuan and Li Er really believe in religion", no one is sure, but Hoe He personally feels that political factors are greater than religious factors. During the Zhenguan period, Taoism still had the upper hand, but Li Eryou noticed that under the guise of repentance, he sent Xuanzang to learn scriptures, which can be regarded as balancing the balance of domestic religion.

The reason why Li Er kept Qingxiazi seemed to be because he had made meritorious contributions, but in fact, Li Er was interested in the secret of Qingxiazi's longevity. has also sat on the emperor, Qingxiazi is still romantic, this is more in line with Li Er's appetite. If it is said that the Buddhist family may also have long-lived monks, but Li Er can't stand that kind of pure rules and precepts", so he took the initiative to ignore it. People, sometimes that's it, choose what is best for themselves. Li Er wanted to find Qingxiazi's flaws first, "As long as a person asks for something, it will be easy to stay", this is Li Er's experience over the years.

"Poor Dao, please see Your Majesty." Qingxiazi was ordered to meet her, stood in front of Li Er and performed a Taoist etiquette, and her performance was extraordinary, and she couldn't tell that this was the sloppy Taoist priest of the Jin family. If you don't say that they are gods, this acting skill is definitely at the level of "Oscar". ,

"The Taoist doesn't need to be polite." Li Er also replied to a Taoist etiquette, as Li Er, who claimed to be a descendant of Li Dan, he still understood some basic Taoist etiquette.

Qingxiazi was very well-behaved and obeyed Li Er's intentions, and she really didn't say much, and she didn't say much, and she was like a master in the world, which made Li Er feel like a dog biting a hedgehog~ I don't know where to start.

Li Er, who was accustomed to being surrounded by ministers and patting on the back, was obviously a little uncomfortable, but Qingxiazi's cultivation method made him itching, so Li Er took the initiative to find a topic and said: "I heard that Daoist Chief is Daoist Yuan's uncle?" ”

"Yes." Qing Xiazi smiled and nodded in acknowledgement, neither making Li Er feel alienated, nor making Li Er feel unapproachable.

"I've heard that the Taoist is over one hundred and thirty years old?"

"Jar" Qingxiazi's expression is still the same.

"Dao Chang is a former royal family?"

"The past can't be traced with the wind, what is Your Majesty still doing about it? Poor Dao is now bent on pursuing the avenue. Qingxiazi's expression remained unchanged, and she calmly admitted her identity.

"The Taoist chief is indeed an immeasurable person, and he is not fighting for it." Li Er praised Qingxiazi.

"Your Majesty has overdone it." Qingxiazi hasn't lived in vain for more than 130 years, who hasn't seen it? He didn't believe that Li Er had nothing to do to chat with him, so he behaved extraordinary, just waiting for Li Er to enter the urn, so that he could take the initiative.

"I also want to thank the Taoist chief for saving the acting king, I don't know what the chief wants? I will do my best. "Li Er began to lure Qingxiazi, as long as he bites the hook, are you afraid that he won't spit out the cultivation method?

"The poor road only seeks the road, and the money and wealth are like floating clouds in the poor road. If Your Majesty really wants to thank you, it will be better for Gui Tang. Gui Tang and Poor Dao are gracious, so Poor Dao agreed to Gui Tang to help. Qingxiazi looks like a master in the world, and this truly reflects the indisputability. What Jin Yu did also showed that he was indisputable, so Qingxiazi looked at Jin Yu so pleasing to the eye.

"The Taoist is really a master of the world!" Li Er was convinced, which of the people who surrounded him these years didn't have something to ask for? Those people in Zhongnanshan are just taking a shortcut, and the reason why Li Er cooperates with those people's actions is to show that he is humble and thirsty for talent, similar to Bole's "buying horse bones" in order to win the hearts of the world.

"Your Majesty has overdone it."

"I've had a tight headache these days, and I'm tossing and turning, I don't know if there's a good way to go?" Li Er pointed to the concubine in his temple, a fellow Daoist.

"Fasting, chanting, and doing things to transcend the dead." Qingxiazi said Shinto. As a god, careful observation and comprehensive inference are compulsory courses. The medical skills of Zhen Quan and Sun Simiao, Qingxiazi has seen them, and their medical skills are by no means below him. If Li Er said that if he could really be cured with medicinal stones, it is estimated that he would have been cured a long time ago, so Qingxiazi did not say how to treat them, and changed to the way of psychological treatment. Qingxiazi also discussed with the great monk a few years ago on the issue of the law, and the great monk said how the Buddhist law has a role, but Qingxiazi did not believe it. Take fasting and chanting as an example, Taoism and Buddhism both have it, why do you use the rules of Buddhism to fast and chant sutras also have the effect of calming your mind? I don't believe in Buddhism, and finally Qingxiazi found the answer, on the one hand, sandalwood has a calming effect, and the two, a quiet environment, sincere prayer helps to calm my heart. To put it bluntly, it is a high-level autosuggestion, which belongs to the category of psychotherapy.

"Under my rule, the country and the people are safe, singing and dancing are peaceful, and there is nothing bad about it?" Li Er was a little weak-hearted, the throne, whether it was forced or active, at least he moved this idea, so there was something later. Li Jian is seriously ill, and in the past few days, he has always dreamed that Li Jiancheng is standing in front of him bloodily. Unconsciously, Li Er had already stepped on the edge of the pit dug for him by Qingxiazi, and as long as he kicked it again, he would fall.

Qingxiazi smiled inscrutablely, and Li Er, who was smiling, was even more weak-hearted, "Maybe Your Majesty conquered in the early years, and there were always some souls who didn't want to return." The more vague this kind of remark is, the better, who hasn't done a bad thing in their life? It only takes someone to guide them, and they will take the initiative to remember these bad things. It's okay to say that you don't believe in religion, but if you believe it, it's really hard to jump out again.

Li Er's words about ghosts and gods were originally suspicious, why did he kill too many evils in his life, and the more time Li Er was entangled in it, the more suspicious he would be in this regard.

"I want to do some Dharma deeds, but I don't know what to do with the long-term intentions?" Dreaming of Li Jiancheng overnight, Li Er's nerves will not be able to stand it no matter how big it is, not to mention that there is an unfathomable and fueling magic stick next to him? Li Er couldn't hold back, and finally jumped into the pit that Qingxiazi had prepared for him.

Hearing Li Er's invitation, Qingxiazi was still a little excited in her heart, she wanted to revitalize Taoism, and she couldn't do without the support of the imperial court to make Taoism go to the next level, but she still showed a lot of embarrassment on her face. "Alas! The poor road is used to the idle clouds and wild cranes, so it doesn't matter! Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and doing things for Your Majesty is also a blessing for the people in the world. However, this Dharma can't be done by one person, and I still need to borrow some people from Master Yuan's nephew, and I hope that Your Majesty will make it convenient. ”

"Accurate!" With a wave of his hand, Li Er set the first large-scale ritual in the five years of Yuan Tiangang's Zhenguan. 【Latte Chinese】[.]
