Chapter 729: Li Dayin's sons

In order to promote Taoist culture, Ye Yu deliberately ordered the Qiu Office to organize authoritative figures to discuss and compile reasonable Taoist scriptures.

Although it caused a lot of controversy during this period, but it was impossible to live up to the supremacy of imperial power, and in the end, these tributary factions of the various Daomen had to be led by the Quanzhen Dao and surrender to the grace of Huanghuang Heaven!

Because everyone understands that any religious sect wants to gain a foothold in the world, without the maintenance and assistance of the imperial power, it is nothing more than a dream.

Since it is listed as a state religion, it is natural that you can't just stay out of the way, and you must do things for the imperial court, which is one of Ye Yu's main intentions to promote Taoism.

Religious thought is a double-edged sword.

If used properly, it will benefit the country and the people and consolidate the community; If it is not used properly, it is a heresy and a cult to deceive people's minds!

If we talk about Confucianism, which is based on the imperial examination, its essence is a carrier of religion, and when the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period were contending, all schools of thought emerged in an endless stream and it was difficult to unify.

Since the 'deposition of Confucianism', Confucianism has become the carrier of the state religion of the imperial court, and it has been completely integrated into the blood of the dynasty.

Ye Yu asked the abbot Qiu Chuji to practice the Taoist scriptures, one is to completely digest the members of the Quanzhen Sect and virtually eliminate the hidden danger of this civil force.

The second is to hope that through his efforts, he will not only carry forward the local Taoism, but also integrate Taoist ideas into the government and the opposition, so as to achieve the effect of fighting against Confucianism.

A school of thought is not good or bad, but it is not a good thing to let Confucianism dominate.

With the strength of one person, it is difficult to change the trend trajectory of a dynasty, and if you want to achieve the vigorous development of all walks of life in later generations, then the first thing to break is the monopoly of Confucianism.

Confucianism has made indelible contributions to the entry of scholars and the birth and development of culture and scholarship. However, for the progress and development of a nation, the single limitation of Confucianism has been highlighted.

Therefore, Ye Yu first thought of Taoism, and in the future, there will be Legalists, soldiers, Moists, etc., and finally reach the pattern of a hundred flowers blooming.

For Ye Yu's far-sighted thoughts, Qiu Chuji naturally has no way of knowing, but for Ye Yu's edict, Qiu Chuji and senior brother Ma Yu dare not slack off at all.

In the discussion and writing of the scriptures and secrets, he not only deleted many jerky and difficult mysteries, but also expounded the central idea of maintaining imperial power.

Although Qiu Chuji was highly valued by Ye Yu, he was cautious in his actions and did not dare to exceed it in the slightest, and everything he did revolved around supporting the imperial power.

Because he knew that if the imperial power could support Taoism, it could also suffer from the catastrophe in an instant.

Historically, Buddhism was far more prosperous than native Taoism, but even so, Buddhism had suffered four Buddha extermination incidents of 'Three Martial Arts and One Sect'!

Buddhism flourished at its peak during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Middle and Late Tang Dynasties.

At first, Buddhism was extremely crazy, greedy for extravagance and lust, and hyped up cruel acts such as cutting meat and feeding eagles, hanging bodies with iron hooks, peeling books and scriptures, and burning bodies to make offerings to Buddha.

At that time, people were extremely fanatical about Buddhism, and some people even cut their own flesh in front of the public to feed the birds, bleeding all over but the color remained the same.

There are also monks who hang their bodies with iron hooks, light a thousand lamps, and sit upright for a day and a night. Under such a fanaticism, monks, nuns, Taoists, temples and monasteries at that time could be said to have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

However, the development of Buddhism led to the extreme expansion of its power, and at the same time brought huge economic benefits to temples and monks, coupled with the fact that Buddhist temples often enjoyed tax exemptions, fields, maidservants, slaves and other privileges, which caused a great concentration of social wealth to Buddhist temples, and Yan zhòng affected the social and economic development.

Ten riches in the world, and the Buddha has seven or eight, monks do not produce and do not serve labor, and they also have a large number of servants and maids. In ancient times, when human resources were scarce, the socio-economic and military effects of this phenomenon were even more pronounced.

The excessive development of the economic power of the monasteries finally aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the ruling class, and the behavior of the monks who did not abide by the precepts and occupied the land and fish and meat of the common people accumulated a large number of social contradictions......

When all kinds of intertwined contradictions were intense, the guide was finally resolved by guòzheng zhì, and the emperors of the four periods began the movement to exterminate Buddhism!

Destroying the Buddha is not only destroying temples and Buddha statues, but also destroying people......

The doom of Buddhism is vividly in his mind, so Qiu Chuji did not get carried away because the imperial court supported Taoism, and how to promote Taoism while becoming the help of the imperial court is the subject that he should study as a spokesman for Taoism.

The Mid-Autumn Festival naturally added good news, because the war in the southwest had already yielded preliminary results. The person who personally returned to Beijing this time to present the military situation was Guo Xiaotian, who had not been seen for a long time.

When Ye Yu finished reading the content of the book, he was overjoyed, raised his head and asked Guo Xiaotian suspiciously: "This is written by him himself?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Heh, this guy doesn't know a few big characters, and it's really rare to read a book without seeing a single typo!" Ye Yu laughed in surprise, as if he still felt incredible, and immediately picked up the playbook and read it again.

"Uh......"

Seeing that Guo Xiaotian wanted to speak and stopped, Ye Yu knew that there was something to say, so he asked: "Your eldest brother, do you still have something to give to me?" ”

"Yes......"

"It's not like the old pervert misses women......"

"Big brother, Your Majesty, don't say much!"

Guo Xiaotian is not good at words, and he is not very happy to speak, and when he hesitated to organize his words, the two entourages behind him directly interjected.

"Huh!?"

Ye Yu had only paid attention to Guo Xiaotian's body, but he didn't care about the two entourages around Guo Xiaotian.

"Your Majesty, the two of them are young and ignorant and don't know how to count etiquette, and they still hope that His Majesty will be gracious......" Guo Xiaotian didn't expect the two behind him to speak rashly, for fear that Tianwei would be unpredictable and offend the two, so he took the lead in kneeling down and pleading for mercy.

The two attendants behind him were also sensible, and they also hurriedly knelt down in panic and begged for forgiveness.

"I'm not a man-eating tiger, so it's better to see the outside like this, get up and talk back!"

The three of them hurriedly thanked them, and then stood aside tremblingly.

Ye Yu looked at the two teenagers with his eyes, and then asked with a little doubt: "......Who are these two teenagers?"

"Back to Your Majesty, these two are both the sons of Brother Li, and they can also be regarded as Xiaotian's nephews."

"What!?" Ye Yu suddenly felt choked when he heard this, "Why have I never heard of Brother Li having such a ......?"

Ye Yu wanted to say, why did Li Dayin, a rammer, suddenly have such a big son, and two cubs popped up as soon as he appeared, what a evil sect!

"This ...... It's a bit complicated, and Xiaotian also knows a little bit about it......"

Guo Xiaotian spoke clumsily, but he changed the topic very quickly, and immediately turned around and gave a look to the two behind him, signaling the two teenagers to take the initiative to show their faces and report their names.

The two of them understood each other, bowed down together, and the young man in green clothes took the lead in speaking: "Grass people Li Yuanhong knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

Then the black-clothed young man beside him also reported his name: "The grass people knock on your majesty at dawn, may my emperor live long live!" ”
