'Something important?' Li Chen repeated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ma Yuan Zhen went and returned, he was still very strange, but he was not nervous, just strange. It's even stranger now.

'Nothing, yes, I'll talk about it tomorrow.' Besides, I also said that if there is any state matter, just let Ma Gonggong handle it. Li Chen waved his hand and drove the horse. Yuan Zhen left, a pair, I don't listen, I don't listen, I just don't listen.

Although he is currently cultivating Taoguang, he is not the kind of person who has no sense of responsibility, and if there is really something urgent, of course he will deal with it immediately.

But there is something urgent to tell him. Act of God? Li Chen doesn't want to care about that kind of thing, it's not that he's cold-blooded, but this kind of thing happens every year. In the history of China, natural disasters occur every year, no matter how big or small, there is no way, the place is big, no matter whether it is a big disaster or a small disaster, it is a disaster.

Because natural disasters occur every year, a set of procedures for how to deal with them has long been developed, and how to deal with them, the official will have his own way, he only needs to use the seal, and even the seal letter is in the horse. Yuan Zhen is there, there is no need to report to him.

As for man-made disasters such as rebellion and rebellion, there is no need to tell him, it is the same, what should be done. It's the same with him or not. That group of bureaucrats just needs someone who can make the decision. It's him or the horse. Yuan Zhen can be. So he doesn't think there's anything important about it, it's a horse. Yuan Zhen wants to tell him, and he needs to decide.

What's more, if there is really any major natural disaster, or someone rebels, he is not completely in the dark, he still has ears and eyes. There will not be that kind of situation where the sky has been turned upside down outside Chang'an City, and he is completely unaware of it. Besides, the really urgent thing, the horse. Yuan Zhen should have been mentioned at the beginning of the feast.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be vigilant, should this old thing suddenly get into trouble, and he had to clean himself up.

'I'm ashamed to say it, saints, they are all old slaves and incompetent, and now this inner treasury really has no money. ', Ma. Yuan Zhen explained, "In the past few years, the military expenditure was huge, and although the destruction of the Buddha was successful, and a lot of copper and iron were collected, a lot of it has already been spent. ’

'The death of the Emperor Daxing and the ascension of the new emperor to the throne cost a lot. Before the saint renovated the palace, he had already spent all the money in the inner treasury. ''Oh. So, what should we do? ''The saints, now Daying and Qionglin Erku, are still exempt from being able to maintain the needs of the Great Interior. However, if the saint wants to entertain these mages for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be able to do so. At least for the remaining months of the year, it can't be sustained. ’

'This... Can't you make the branch pay for it? Normally, you should go to the household department. However, since the history of Anshi in the Tang Dynasty, the financial power was gradually taken away by the Yantiedu Branch, and the household department was gradually reduced to an ornament, and this situation continued until the Song Dynasty, so if you want to pay for this matter, you have to find the degree branch.

'No, those officials, who look down on our eunuchs and disdain to be in the company of us, now they want money, but it is difficult. ', Ma. Yuan Zhen took the opportunity to vent his bitterness, saying that those who are in charge of finance, how to look down on people, how difficult it is for him to make a big profit.

So what now? Li Chen is embarrassed, this tells me to find a way, don't say that I can't think of it for the time being, and I won't say it if I think of it, 'For the sake of today's plan.' ', Ma. Yuan Zhen said in a firm voice, "The only way to do this is to raise taxes." Those officials always used all kinds of excuses to refuse to raise taxes, and now that the saints are not in sufficient internal use, they will not be able to do so.

Then the tax will be raised. , Li Chen waved his hand, "Father-in-law Ma, you have worked hard, you can decide for yourself to raise taxes." "Yes, the old slave is confused, this whole world is not the king's land, the saint is not enough, what is it to add some taxes, the old slave is stupid, the old slave will do it." With that, he took his leave. Watching the horse. Yuan Zhen left, Li Chen sneered... Also left.

The next day, Li Chen summoned several Taoist priests and asked them to explain the Tao to him. When I heard it, my head was confused, and I couldn't understand it at all. I don't know what they're talking about, his ancient literary skills are not very good, and the religious content makes him listen to thunder like a duck. Had to interrupt them and asked directly.

'Since Sanqingzhong respects the beginning of the Yuan, why don't you worship him? ', Taoist saying, one gas and three clear. The three Qings are Yuqing Primitive Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

Li Chen knew this, and he originally thought that he knew a little bit about Taoism. But after hearing it, I found out that Niangdel, this is much different from the later generations. His impression of Taoism comes from the list of gods. What is Hongjun first and then there is the sky, and the land pressure is still in front of Hongjun.

Hongjun accepted three people as disciples, namely the Primordial Tianzun, the Daode Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master. The three of them also founded the teachings of exposition, Taoism, and interception.

Although I don't know what happened to these three teachings. The exposition and the interception of the religion have all disappeared, but I finally know that there are three gods.

But when I heard it, it turned out that the Tang Dynasty had the Yuan Shi Tianzun, who created all things and ranked first among the gods. And then the next two don't have that name yet.

The second is not Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, but Taishang Daojun, and the third is Taishang Laojun, that is, Laozi, is Daode Tianzun, which he knows. And now the most prosperous Maoshan faction, headed by Yuan Shi Tianzun, is the second ranked Taishang Daojun.

As for the group that was respected as Taoism in later generations, most people in Taoism will think of him and Lao Tzu. The status is not high.

Longhu Mountain worships Taishang Laojun, Lao Tzu. In the beginning, Taoism was all respected by Lao Tzu, just like now, no matter how it evolves, it is headed by Yuan Shi Tianzun.

However, after Zhang Lu's death, he lost the inheritance of the Heavenly Master. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the five buckets of rice were also divided into north and south, mainly in the south. The population of the north was killed and eaten. Let the power of Taoism in the north decline greatly, and flourish in the south.

However, it was originally very prosperous to five buckets of rice Dao, but because of Sun En's rebellion, he was rejected by others. Sun En's methods are too ruthless.

As we all know, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the prosperous period of the Shi clan, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty Pavilion was simply supported by several Shi clans, and the rights of each emperor were very weak.

As a result, when Sun En rebelled, he probably had the intention of attacking the family and was cruel to the family. For example, the famous Wang Xie family, Wang Ningzhi, the second son of Wang Xizhi, served as the internal historian of the Huiji when Sun En rebelled, but was killed by Sun En, and even his children were not spared.

In addition to the family, it is also cruel to the people. wantonly killed dissidents, did not even spare babies, and military discipline was extremely poor, only destruction was not built.

Your methods are cruel, and you can get things done, but he has no military talent, and he was defeated by Liu Yu several times, which completely became Liu Yu's stepping stone. In the end, he was defeated, and with hundreds of his wives and concubines and his men, he threw himself into the sea and died.

couldn't succeed to get Sun En, and defeated the five buckets of rice. At the same time, he offended the world and the people, so that the five buckets of rice were completely abandoned, and Buddhism flourished.

The Wudou Rice Road in the north has undergone a reform, and with the establishment of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the population has slowly recovered, and the momentum has slowly increased. It's a pity that it was suppressed by Buddhism, and the rise of the Shangqing Dynasty, and its momentum was far inferior to that of Maoshan Sect.

This led to the gradual marginalization of Taishang Laojun, who was originally respected as the head of Taoism. Reduced to almost a high-level point, it has to be a working boy.

Take the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tao Hongjing has to say well. He ranked the immortals in seven ranks, the top of which was Yuan Shi Tianzun, followed by Taishang Dao Jun. Of course, it's not just their gods, there are many bronze ranks. However, even so, Taishang Laojun was also ranked in the fourth rank. It's so miserable.

If it weren't for the Li family looking for a famous ancestor, attaching Lao Tzu and adding honorific titles for him, a few years ago, Emperor Daxing even forced Lao Tzu to be one of the eighteen doppelgangers of Taishang Laojun. Lao Tzu's position doesn't know how to turn over.

Then Li Chen is very strange, you go to the Qing faction, don't worship Lao Tzu. Strive for an orthodox title and innovate by yourself, but why don't you worship the beginning of the yuan, but worship the second-ranked Taishang Daojun?

This led to another call, and he didn't understand what he said anyway, and he didn't want to understand. Because soon there was a quarrel again, Longhu Mountain was unhappy, everyone is pursuing Lao Tzu, you Shangqing faction Maoshan Sect, to put it bluntly, it is also here to evolve, what kind of big tail wolf.

What's more, in front of the Son of Heaven, he didn't want to lose his prestige, so he quarreled. However, now the Shangqing faction is in the limelight, like Feng Weiliang, who is from the Shangqing faction, so he is alone and soon fell behind. Li Chen saw that it was wrong, and pulled the shelf.

'It's wonderful, it's wonderful. Li Chen clapped his hands and said happily, "It would be nice if you could quarrel so fiercely with Buddhism." As soon as these words came out, they immediately fell silent. Although Li Chen doesn't know much about Taoism, he still has some common sense, and he knows that this dispute between Taoism and Buddhism, Taoism and Buddhism, has never won.

How many times he debated, he didn't know. But it just doesn't seem to have won. The more famous one, the famous debate between the Quanzhen Sect and Buddhism, in front of Kublai Khan, the Khan, also lost.

'This... Buddhism is actually my Taoism, when Lao Tzu and his disciple Hu Xi ... A Taoist priest was so weak that he defended himself, Li Chen said this, it was too much of a slap in the face.

'Lao Tzu's transformation of the Hu Jing is simply a forgery. Yang Er also accompanied Li Chen to meet these Taoist priests, and interjected at this moment, as a result, these Taoist priests, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak. The older generation didn't want to talk nonsense with their eyes open, but when they were younger, they didn't open their mouths when they saw the master, so they shut up. The authenticity of this book is actually clear to everyone.

In the early years, Buddhism was just introduced, Taoism flourished, in order to spread the law, I don't know who forged this Laozi Hu Jing, saying that Buddhism is also Taoism.

As a result, Buddhism flourished, but this book became the basis for the debate between Taoism and Buddhism.

That's all for today. Li Chen still has a lot to say, but he is not in a hurry, and when he sees the cold scene, he announces the dismissal of the meeting. (To be continued.) )
