After a while, Li Chunfeng brought the tea. Zhang Yunwen sat on the edge of a few cases, while the other people were out of the side hall.

Pick up the teacup, this is the tea made by historical celebrities, but you have to taste it well. I saw a layer of tea foam floating in the teacup, carefully scraped it to the side with the lid of the cup, and took a sip gently, and a plant aroma came.

Well, not bad.

"How's this tea?" Yuan Tiangang asked with a smile.

"The tea is good, but the technology of processing tea is a little worse!"

Yuan Tiangang suddenly asked in surprise, "What?" Could it be that Yunwen can also process better tea? ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded, roughly processed the tea leaves of later generations, mainly fried green, and talked about it again, the two Taoist priests immediately looked at each other, so can tea really be like this?

At this time, the tea processing was mainly steamed green, and the method of frying green was formed after the Ming and Qing dynasties. If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yunwen in his previous life had an old man who loved tea like his life, Zhang Yunwen would make two pots of tea every day, and then sit under a grapevine and taste it slowly in the afternoon sun. Such a life made him envious when he was a child, but later joined the army, and this elegant thing of drinking tea gradually disappeared.

took a sip gently, then shook his head and said, "One bowl of throat kiss moist, two bowl of lonely and boring." Three bowls of dry intestines, only 5,000 volumes of words. Four bowls of light sweat, life injustice, all to the pores. Five bowls of muscles and bones, six bowls of fairies. Seven bowls can't be eaten, but the wings are used to the breeze. ”

Zhang Yunwen directly recited one bowl to seven bowls of Lu Tong's poem. This is the favorite poem that the old man liked to recite when he drank tea in his previous life, and he listened to it many times, and now he recalls it like a stream.

As soon as they heard these poems, Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao opened their eyes at the same time and looked at Zhang Yunwen in surprise.

"Haha, good poetry, good poetry!" Yuan Tiangang immediately stroked his palms and said, "There are only seven bowls, and the true taste of the tea is exhausted, and a fairy spirit is rushing to the face, almost wanting to make people want to spread their wings and fly!" ”

"Yunwen's poems contain the charm of my Taoism, it seems that Yunwen is indeed related to my Taoism!" Sun Simiao also said on the side.

I don't want to be a Taoist priest, it's better to marry a wife and have children freely! Zhang Yunwen thought to himself.

Several people talked about tea for a long time, and finally had some meaning, and then Yuan Tiangang asked: "I don't know what General Zhang did when he came to see Poor Dao?" ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly said in his heart: "It's finally time to talk about business, it's troublesome to talk about things with these cultural people, and I don't know how long it will take to get to the point!" Despite this, Zhang Yunwen still respectfully said that he wanted Yuan Tiangang to come forward to preside over the marriage of his two elder brothers. After all, there is a request for others!

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's request, Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao exchanged glances, and then Yuan Tiangang spoke: "Poor Dao and Brother Sun Dao were originally cultivating and enlightening in Zhongnan Mountain, and they said that they should ignore the affairs of the world!" General Zhang's request, I'm afraid ......"

Although it was not said later, it already implied a rejection. However, Zhang Yunwen noticed that Yuan Tiangang's rhetoric was "ignoring the things of the world", rather than "ignoring the things of the world", that is, he still had a chance.

At the moment, he said: "If Daoist Yuan is willing to come out to preside over this matter, he will be willing to offer a thousand taels of gold as the incense money of Baiyun Temple, and send another tea-making technique!" ”

Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao's eyes suddenly lit up, especially when they heard the tea-making technique in the back. Although it is not ruled out that Zhang Yunwen is talking nonsense, after listening to the poem just now, everyone knows that the person in front of him has a high level of tea art attainment, far more than the two.

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Tiangang said: "Since General Zhang has promised such conditions, Poor Dao An dares not to obey, but according to Poor Dao, the gold thousand taels is enough, General Zhang only needs to help Poor Dao solve his doubts, and attach the art of making tea!" ”

Zhang Yunwen was also very happy to be able to save a thousand taels of gold, and said at the moment: "If the Taoist chief has anything to say, he must know everything and say everything!" ”

Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao were silent for a long time, and then Yuan Tiangang said: "Does General Zhang know the order issued by His Majesty to eliminate monks and nuns in the world?" Seeing Zhang Yunwen nodded, Yuan Tiangang continued, "With this order, all the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism in the world will suffer." There is only one Taoist temple and one temple in each province, and there are only three Jingshi. And there are countless people who return to the laity. Don't hide it from General Zhang, this Taoist temple where the poor Dao lives now was built privately without permission! ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly asked strangely: "Yuan Daochang said this, what can you do next?" This is a decree issued by His Majesty, who dares to disobey it? ”

Yuan Tiangang waved his hand: "General Zhang doesn't have to do anything, as long as he can make some suggestions for the poor road!" If the general is a Taoist person, how to deal with this crisis? ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled: "Daoist Yuan calls me Yunwen!" In addition, why don't you go to find Fang Xiang and Du Shangshu, but come to me, you know, I am a military general, and I am not so good at this kind of advice and analysis of problems! ”

Yuan Tiangang smiled: "Who in the world doesn't know that on the eve of the incident, Yunwen's performance in front of King Qin was spread throughout Chang'an, and even the entire Tang Dynasty through the mouth of His Majesty and the mouths of the ministers. In addition, General Zhang's performance in the Xi clan this time can be described as great wisdom and bravery, and the world has said that Yunwen is a wise general and a Confucian general! That's why Poor Dao is only willing to give advice today! In fact, even if Yunwen doesn't come, Poor Dao will visit! ”

Hearing Yuan Tiangang say this, Zhang Yunwen had no choice but to smile bitterly and began to analyze the relationship between religion and politics in Chinese history. This proposition is his own thoughts, just like Li Shimin's edict this time, saying that if it is small, it will restrict Buddhism, and if it is big, it will be the relationship between politics and religion. Therefore, to start, only by summarizing the political and religious relations in various periods of history can we find a countermeasure.

Here Zhang Yunwen was thinking hard, but over there Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao were leisurely drinking tea.

After a long time, Zhang Yunwen coughed lightly and reminded Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao!

The two put down the teacups, grinned, and looked at Zhang Yunwen: "Yunwen is really amazing, he came up with a clue so quickly!" ”

"Uh, I don't know if there's anything to eat, I'm hungry!"

“……”

"Well, it tastes so good! There is a smell of pine nuts, so let's add pine nuts! Zhang Yunwen ate a piece of pastry over and over again, and said, "By the way, did you send food to my companions, I guess they are also hungry!" ”

Li Chunfeng, who brought the food, suddenly said: "Well, it has been delivered, they are hungry, and then we re-cooked a pot of wheat rice!" ”

Zhang Yunwen nodded, and stuffed the pastry into his mouth three times and two times: "Yuan Daochang, Sun Daochang, and Li Daochang, in fact, this matter is not difficult to say!" ”

The eyes of the three of them suddenly focused on Zhang Yunwen.

"Ahem......" Zhang Yunwen cleared his throat and said, "Today's Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty of the imperial court after all, if you want to develop Taoism, you need to be close to the imperial court and contribute to the imperial court, instead of wandering outside like this, and grabbing population and tribute with the imperial court!" ”

As soon as Zhang Yunwen's words fell, Yuan Tiangang said suspiciously: "What is it to rob the imperial court of tribute?" We are just a group of Taoist priests, where will we rob the imperial court for tribute! ”

However, Li Chunfeng, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard this.

Zhang Yunwen explained: "What happened to the two people in history who destroyed Buddhism, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty? It's for the sake of this population to pay taxes! Too many people join the Daomen Shamen and escape from the world, which will cause the lack of a country's working population, which will lead to the loss of taxes and military service, which cannot be made possible by any monarch! Therefore, His Majesty will order the elimination of monks and Taoists in the world. ”

"However, if the Daomen shows his heart and shows his heart to His Majesty and the court, he will not compete with the court for profit, and it will be useful to the court, then the court will not tolerate you!"

Yuan Tiangang nodded, and his fingers gently and rhythmically tapped a few cases: "It's easy to show your heart, but how can our Daomen serve the imperial court?" ”

"It's easy! Among the Daomen, there are those who are proficient in celestial geography, who can enter the Taishi Bureau to observe celestial phenomena and survey geography for the imperial court. If there is a doctor, he can hang a pot to help the world, and even enter the court as an official, so doesn't it reassure the court! As for things like befriending powerful people, Daomen still has to do less, and it's not sure what political turmoil it will get involved in! ”

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Could it be that Yunwen wants our entire Daomen to defect to the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Yunwen avoided this topic and said directly: "There are no two kinds of missionary work in the world than between the upper class nobles and among the ordinary people!" However, both types of missions have their pros and cons. It is not easy to open up the situation when preaching at the top, and those nobles are moody and extremely difficult to grasp. And preaching among the people, but it is taboo for the imperial court, like your Daomen, the Han Dynasty has Taiping Dao, Wudou Rice Dao, the former swept the world, the latter divided one side, which court center will tolerate such a situation? Therefore, if you want to develop the Dao, you need to make friends with the powerful, but you must not make deep friends, especially not to get involved in politics. The second is to be kind to the people, persuade the people to be good, and their hearts to the court, so that they can get the support of the court, then the Taoist gate can be revitalized! ”

After Zhang Yunwen finished speaking, the three people in the room suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Yunwen was not in a hurry, picked up some cold tea, and ate and drank slowly with a piece of leftover muffin.

After he finished eating a piece of sponge cake, Yuan Tiangang got up and waved to Zhang Yunwen: "Thank you Yunwen for your advice!" However, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the Daomen, and it cannot be decided overnight, and the Dao of Forgiveness and Poverty cannot be decided immediately. As for what Yunwen asked, Poor Dao will go down the mountain with Yunwen tomorrow! ”

Zhang Yunwen replied: "Thank you Daoist Yuan!" ”

Yuan Tiangang said to Li Chunfeng: "It's getting late, Chunfeng, wait for Yunwen and them to go down and rest!" ”

Li Chunfeng made a gesture of invitation in front, and Zhang Yunwen slowly walked out of the room.

Behind him, Yuan Tiangang and Sun Simiao were still discussing something.

When I came to the wing, I only heard the sound of snoring inside. Zhang Yunwen shook his head and said to Li Chunfeng beside him: "Is there any other room, here...... Alas! He pointed to the door. Li Chunfeng said knowingly: "Come, General Zhang, please come here!" ”
