Chapter 83, Meeting (3)
This tablet has dragon qi on it, and it was borrowed from the tablet of the Fengxian Hall in the Fuwang Mansion using a secret method. Of course, this must have been tacitly approved and even helped by Emperor Taizu of the Jokhang Dynasty, otherwise, not to mention Xuanyi, even the real gods would not be able to do this.
Xuan Yi placed the tablet in the center of this octagonal pavilion, then pasted rune paper on the other eight corners, lit a column of soul-attracting incense in front of the tablet, and then bowed respectfully to the tablet, then sat down in front of the tablet, turned his head to Yan Yu and said with a smile: "Senior sister, this place is entrusted to you." ”
Yan Yu nodded, and Xuan Yi closed his eyes.
Yan Yu immediately felt that an invisible passage appeared between Xuanyi and a deep and unknowable place. The passage only existed for a split second before vanishing. Yan Yu knew that Xuanyi's soul had reached that deep place at this time.
……
Xuan Yi opened his eyes, and in front of him was a king with a dazzling golden light, a crown with a twelve-bead curtain, and a five-clawed dragon robe. The king sat high on his throne. Although he didn't speak, Xuan Yi clearly knew the identity of this king, he was the Emperor Taizu of Jokhang who created the world for nearly three hundred years.
Xuanyi stood up, and then according to the etiquette of knocking on the emperor, he bowed three times and bowed nine times: "Poor Dao Xuanyi, see His Majesty Emperor Taizu." ”
Emperor Taizu's gaze fell on Xuan Yi's body, an invisible pressure pressed him almost unable to move, and at the same time, a voice like thunder also sounded in his ears: "You thief, you really have the courage to come to me." Tell me, who gave you such guts? ”
"Your Majesty, of course." Xuan Yi replied quietly.
"Oh?" Emperor Taizu said, "You trust my character so much? With this sentence, the pressure on Xuan Yi's body suddenly disappeared.
Xuan Yi straightened up and said: "Your Majesty, don't say 'trust', Your Majesty is the Taizu of Dazhao, and Poor Dao is a thief, between each other, where is there any 'trust'?" Poor Dao never believed in His Majesty's character, but Poor Dao still believed in His Majesty's wisdom, and could see that although we are hostile now, we also have a common enemy. That's why Poor Dao dared to come here. ”
"Hahahaha......" Emperor Taizu laughed, "You thief Taoist priest, it's a bit interesting." I haven't seen anyone speak like this in front of me in years. Tell me, what enemy do you have in common with me, the thief? ”
"Your Majesty, since three generations, it is difficult for the world's imperial dynasties to have more than three hundred years." Xuan Yi said, "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, in today's Jokhang Dynasty, the signs of the end of the world are already very obvious. The change of destiny, as Your Majesty who presided over the Jokhang Dragon Qi, it is impossible for you not to know. However, at the end of the dynasty, if it is handled properly, it is not impossible to revive the Han Dynasty, just like the Guangwu Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty, and even to the Zhaolie Emperor, he almost revived the Han Dynasty again. Therefore, for Your Majesty, the most important thing now is how to make the Jokhang Dynasty flourish. Regarding this road to Zhongxing, Poor Dao has some ideas, and I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
When Emperor Taizu heard this, he said, "But it's okay to say it. ”
"Your Majesty, do you know why since the third generation, few dynasties have been able to survive three hundred years?" Xuan Yi asked.
"Nature is impermanent." Emperor Taizu said, "Besides, the gentleman's Ze will be beheaded in the fifth generation." People and gentlemen, where can they produce Ming Jun from generation to generation? ”
"Your Majesty's words are correct, but they fall short of the roots." Xuanyi said.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty, please allow the explanation of the poor Dao Interpretation." Xuanyi said. Here, under the suppression of dragon energy, no spell can be cast.
"Yes." Emperor Taizu said. With this sound, the originally invisible confinement around Xuan Yi suddenly disappeared.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xuan Yi stood up and said.
Then he waved his hand, and on the ground in front of the main hall, an illusion of a land appeared, and there were mountains, rivers, lakes, plains, mountains and forests, and some people's houses.
"Your Majesty, please see. This is a general situation at the beginning of a dynasty. After the war, there are fewer people and more land. Xuan Yi pointed to the phantom and said, "In this land, there is land that can be cultivated, and there is even a large amount of wasteland that has not been developed. Therefore, every family has a large area of good land, and the people naturally have enough food and clothing. ”
After saying this, Xuan Yi waved his hand, and the picture suddenly changed again, and the population on the painting suddenly increased several times.
"Under abundant food and clothing, there will be plenty of birth. So in the next generation, the population naturally grows. Fortunately, there is still a lot of wasteland, and the children and grandchildren can continue to have enough food and clothing by clearing the wasteland themselves. Xuan Yi continued. As he spoke, a large area of wasteland on the screen turned into a grain field.
"Since you can still have enough food and clothing, you will naturally have a lot of children, and then the population will continue to increase......" In Xuan Yi's voice, there are more and more people on the picture, more and more fields, and the original wasteland has become farmland.
"At this time, it is the time of the so-called 'no idle fields in the four seas', and it can also be said that it is the time when a dynasty is extremely prosperous. But since ancient times, it has flourished and declined. The population will continue to grow, so ......"
The population on the screen continues to increase.
At this time, there was no more land left for people to develop, and the original use of 20 acres of land to support one person was in this generation, and only 10 acres or even 5 acres or even 3 acres of land could be used to support one person. The threat of famine arose. So people can only cut down forests to make fields, and fill lakes into fields......"
In Xuanyi's voice, the mountains and forests on the screen began to be cut down in large areas, the originally verdant mountains became the Maotong Mountain, and the lake surface disappeared and became more farmland.
"Your Majesty, mountains and forests can naturally conserve water and soil. When there are mountains and forests, when heavy rain falls, it is absorbed by the mountains and forests and does not become a flood, but when it does not rain, there are springs flowing out of the mountains and converging into rivers to irrigate both banks. Now the mountains and forests have been cut down, and once it rains heavily, all of a sudden, it is a flood, and there used to be a lake, and there is still a place for the flood to go, but now the lake is gone......"
On the screen, floodwaters are pouring down, large fields have been washed away, and countless people have been killed and injured.
"When it doesn't rain, there are no springs, and when the rivers dry up, it's a drought. The lake used to be still there, and there was still some water, but now it'......."
The picture is thousands of miles away, and then thieves are everywhere......
"Naturally, the common people refused to starve to death like this, so there were strong beams who took risks, so thieves were everywhere...... This is the time for the end of the day. Then the dynasty was changed, and under the war, it was naturally 'the armor gave birth to lice, and the surname died.' The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. Your Majesty should be familiar with this scene. When the world is calm again, it will return to the beginning, and there will be a mandate of heaven for more than 200 to 300 years. Your Majesty, the Han Dynasty was able to prosper, and it was precisely because of the time before Zhongxing that there was such a period. Today, Your Majesty wants to make Jokhang prosperous, but it also needs to have such a paragraph. It's just Your Majesty, but there is a big difference between Showa and Han. It is extremely difficult for His Majesty's idea to succeed. ”
Emperor Taizu looked at that picture with a heavy face. He asked, "I don't know what's the difference?" ”
Xuan Yi hugged his fists and said: "First of all, the difference is where the grievances return. During the Han Dynasty, everyone knew that the power of the Son of Heaven was usurped by the thieves, and the resentment of the people of the world was attributed to the thieves. And Emperor Taizu, you are eloquent and strategic, and the various rules you have set make it impossible for the Jokhang Dynasty to produce thieves who can truly usurp the authority of the Son of Heaven. The resentment of all the people in the world will naturally return to the Son of Heaven. Your Majesty has mastered the dragon qi, and naturally you can also feel the changes in the dragon qi, and a large part of this is the influence of the resentment of the people. Under the influence of resentment, the sons of heaven of each generation are either mediocre and slack, or arrogant and paranoid. Your Majesty should have felt this as well. Therefore, it is impossible for Dazhao to rely on the son of heaven in the lineage to prosper. ”
Emperor Taizu's eyes widened, staring at Xuan Yi and said, "You thief Taoist!" But...... You say first, there should be second, second? ”
"Actually, if you can't produce a saint, it's nothing. It is the Han Dynasty, and Zhongxing did not rely on the descendants of the Son of Heaven in the first place. The Great Han tried to prosper twice, and Guangwu and Zhaolie were not the sons of heaven of the Yan faction, but just unnoticed sidelines. However, since the Battle of Jingjing, the Jokhang has always said disrespectful words, and has always raised the collateral as a pig and guarded against it as a thief. Even in the side department, there are no talents at all. ”
Emperor Taizu's face turned blue and said, "You mean that my Dazhao is really not saved at all?" ”
"Not exactly." Xuan Yi said, "How can there be absolutes in the world? There is still a glimmer of life. That is, it first became the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty. ”
"That's just a temporary survival......" Emperor Taizu shook his head.
"We may be able to grow in the future. You must know that when the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jiangnan had not yet been developed, which was not enough to be the foundation of progress. Zhao Song is his own problem, but now that Jiangnan is rich, it can be relied on to take the foundation of the world. The key is ......"
Xuan Yi said this, but pointed to the sky with his finger and said, "The point is that Heavenly Court doesn't seem to want to see such a result. ”
Emperor Taizu stared at Xuan Yi for a while, and then said, "You, a Taoist priest, actually dare to speculate on the will of heaven?" ”
Xuan Yi immediately asked: "The will of the Emperor of Heaven, the will of the Heavenly Court, is it really the will of Heaven?" Heaven has no relatives, but Heaven has relatives. Is Heavenly Court Really Providence? Heavenly Court is just a stronger chess player. ”
Taizu shouted angrily: "Bold! With this angry shout, the entire space seemed to vibrate. However, he quickly asked, "You Taoist priest, tell me, how do you think Heavenly Court is playing chess?" ”
