PS: On Friday, I hope you will support it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Hearing Cheng Gongxing's words, Wei Shuo's expression was inexplicable and noncommittal, which made the other party uneasy for a while.

Now, as the territory under his rule is getting bigger and bigger, Wei Shuo is becoming more and more majestic, and ordinary people will inevitably be nervous when they see him.

Even if Cheng Gongxing has a wide range of knowledge, he is also a little apprehensive at the moment, and secretly regrets that he spoke too directly.

I don't know how long it took, I am afraid that even Cheng Gongxing was about to give up, and suddenly heard Wei Shuo's voice in his ears.

"It's not impossible to support the Daomen, it's just ......"

"It's just ......" Seeing Wei Shuo's attitude loosened, Cheng Gong Xing became excited.

"Let's not talk about these things first, Shuo wants to ask Dao Chang, what is the specific situation of Taoism in various places now?"

"This ...... The poor road is just a scattered cultivation, and the knowledge is limited, if there is an omission in the middle, please forgive me. ”

"It's just a casual chat, how can you forgive or forgive? The Taoist only has to speak, and no matter what, he can't blame the Taoist chief. ”

Encouraged by Wei Shuo, Cheng Gongxing had a rare opportunity to preach in front of those in power, and he couldn't help but get excited.

I saw him raise his neck and drink the wine down, and then wiped the wine with his hand, and then said loudly: "When today's Daomen is respected by the Wudoumi Sect, followed by the Lingbao Sect and the Shangqing Sect. ”

"The Five Bucket Rice Sect was created by the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, the Lingbao Sect was created by the Heavenly Master Ge Xuan, and the founder of the Shangqing Sect was Yang Xi."

"In recent years, after the Lingbao Sect has been carried forward by Ge Hong, its momentum has grown, but compared with the Five Dou Mi Sect, it is still not worth mentioning."

"Why is that?"

"Most of the protectors don't know, from Wei Wu broke Hanzhong and moved the Zhang Lu family and a large number of its followers north to Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng Sanfu, Wudou rice sect gradually from Bashu, Hanzhong a corner of the land, gradually spread to the north and the vast area south of the Yangtze River, and has achieved great development."

"In the Jin Dynasty, the Wudou Rice Sect not only had a large number of lower-class people, but also was worshiped by the upper-class wealthy scholars, and many famous Taoist families appeared."

"Such as Langya Wang's, Sun's, Chenjun Xie's, Yin's, Gaoping Xi's, Huiji Kong's, Yixing Zhou's, Danyang Xu's, Ge's, Tao's, Donghai Bao's, etc., and Du Zigong, a native of Qiantang, is the leader."

"Du Zigong?" I don't know what came to mind, Wei Shuo couldn't help but blurt out.

"What? Do most of the protectors know this person? He was the leader of Jiangnan Daomen, but he had passed away, and his mantle was inherited by his disciple Sun Tai. Sun Tai was born in a Taoist family, and he practiced with Du Zigong since he was a child, and he had a great influence in Taoism. ”

When Sun Tai was mentioned, he couldn't help but think of the Wudou Mijiao uprising set off by Sun Tai and Sun En's uncle and nephew in history, which sounded the death knell of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and made Liu Yuyang, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty.

Even in the works of a martial arts master in later generations, Sun En was not only the first master of the Daomen, but also shattered the void in the end.

He thought about it carefully, and in a few years, this riot that swept the entire southeast coast would break out, and Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty, known as the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, would officially appear on the stage of history.

In history, the Northern Expedition promoted by Liu Yu once recovered the south of the Yellow River and even the entire Guanzhong.

If it weren't for the sudden death of his confidant Liu Muzhi, Liu Yu was worried about the instability of the rear, so he had to hurriedly withdraw his troops and return south, resulting in the failure of the Northern Expedition, and finally lost the qualification to unify the world.

Although it is often said that history has no ifs.

But Wei Shuo still couldn't help but wonder that if Liu Yu's Northern Expedition had succeeded in history, China might have ended hundreds of years of division ahead of schedule, and perhaps history would have been a different story.

"Compared with the unification and standardization of Taoism in the south, due to the continuous wars in the north and the expansion of Buddhism, the power of Taoism has not been significantly developed, but has shrunk much compared with the Wei and Jin dynasties."

"Dao Chief, I just listened to Dao Chief's explanation, and Shuo has a little understanding of the Dao Sect in the world."

"I happen to have some suggestions below, I don't know if the chief is interested in hearing it."

"Oh? I don't know what the big capital protector thinks? The poor road is willing to hear about it. ”

"The reason why Taoism in the north has been declining in recent years has a lot to do with the lack of government support. In the Yongjia Rebellion, the Jin family abandoned the people in the north, and the north became a place for Hu Lu to gallop. ”

"The Xiongnu, Di, Qiang, Qian, Xianbei and other Hu ethnic groups successively established political power in the Central Plains and Hebei, and in order to maintain their rule, these Hulu regimes constantly suppressed Han culture and thought, and Taoism, as the bearer of Han culture, will not only not be supported by the Hulu monarch, but will also be guarded and hostile by it."

"On the contrary, Buddhism, because it is a foreign religion and has little power, is sought after by all kinds of Hulu."

"For example, Buddha Tucheng is to Shile and Shihu, and Kumarosh is to Fu Jian and Lu Guang, nothing is the same."

"If Northern Taoism wants to develop, it must unite with the Han separatist forces, such as Hexi."

"What? Are Dadu Huzhen willing to support the development of Taoism? Cheng Gongxing's eyes widened, unable to believe that this was true.

"yes, isn't it? Isn't this exactly what the Taoist has been looking forward to? ”

"It's not that it can't, it's just that Poor Dao can't figure it out for a while."

"Dadu Hu has never been interested in seeing Buddhism, how can he have a good impression of Taoism? Is it just because the Daomen is a native religion? ”

"No, Shuo will not discriminate against Buddhism because of this, and the reason why Buddhism is not welcome is because Buddhism is too powerful and has threatened the stability of Hexi, so it has to be suppressed."

"The most important point is that Buddhism has been reluctant to reform as Shuo wants."

"Shuo can promise the Taoist that as long as Taoism is willing to cooperate with Hexi, Taoism can be established as the state religion in the future."

In the face of Wei Shuo's naked expression of his desire to support the development of Taoism, Cheng Gongxing was a little blindsided for a while, he never believed that there was a free lunch in the world, and there must be conspiracy and calculations that he didn't know.

Wei Shuo's choice to support Taoism was just a last resort, and although Buddhism had been honestly suppressed by him, he was always unwilling to reform according to his wishes, and finally forced him to choose to cooperate with Taoism.

Cheng Gongxing pondered again and again, and asked, "I don't know what conditions Dadu Hu has?" ”

"The conditions are simple and simple, but difficult to say, it depends on whether the Taoist chief has determination and perseverance."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Taoist chief should know that there are many non-Han people under the rule of Hexi, and these people lack a sense of belonging to Hexi, and if the estrangement between various ethnic groups cannot be eliminated, it is difficult to guarantee that Hexi will not repeat the mistakes of the former Qin in the future."

"Just in case, Shuo plans to reorganize Taoism and make it a weapon to naturalize the Hu people."

"That's all?"

"Of course, there is more to this than that, Shuo intends to carry out a profound reform of Taoism, eliminate things that are out of fashion, and add some teachings that are conducive to national unity, as well as encouraging the people to be kind, industrious and brave."

"The most important thing is to cut off the influence of religion on the secular world, so as to prevent some people from using religion to carry out the old things of yellow turbans and turmoil."

Cheng Gongxing knew that Wei Shuo was not talking nonsense, as a well-known religious figure, he knew that once it was not well controlled, religion was likely to be used by ambitious people, and then bring great disasters to the world.

For example, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu's seizure of Hanzhong, etc., were all careerists who used religious power to bring disaster to the world.

And the Southern Five Doumi Sect has never given up trying for greater interests.

After Sun Tai ascended to the throne, he tried to use the influence of Daomen many times to seek greater power and status.

I heard that because of the big trouble, Sun Tai had been sent to Guangzhou by the emperor, which made the Southern Daomen more restrained.

However, this is just a trick by the Five Doumi Sect to move their power from the open side to the underground, and they have also changed their strategy.

No longer pinning their hopes for changing the status quo on the wealthy and powerful, Sun Tai, Sun En and others began to secretly plan an armed rebellion.

Wei Shuo wanted to use Taoism for his use, but he had to worry about its backlash, so he proposed to reform the religion.

But obviously, Cheng Gongxing was not ready yet, originally he just wanted to get Hexi's support, but he didn't expect Wei Shuo to draw such a big pie for him.

"Dadu Hu, this matter is too important, and the poor road needs to think about it carefully."

"In addition, the Reformation was too important to be left to the poor."

"Therefore, Poor Dao plans to return to the Central Plains in the near future, looking for helpers on the one hand, and collecting Taoist classics on the other."

"The Taoist is reasonable, Shuo is here to wait for good news." Wei Shuo is confident in cooperating with Taoism.

Of course, cooperation with Taoism is very complicated and cannot be determined in a short period of time.

This time, Cheng Gongxing and Wei Shuo have only reached a preliminary intention and have not yet carried out in-depth cooperation.
