Chapter 23 The Descendants of Lao Tzu

Li Xuan sighed secretly: "Hey, I'm too young and I'm new to here, people don't believe us." Well, I'm going to blow you away. ”

I saw Li Xuan carefully take out the long-standing animal skin called "Immortal System" in the secret room of Wudang Mountain from his arms, and read it aloud:

"Supreme Moral Heavenly Venerable, Taiqing Sage Lao Tzu Disciple Wen Shi Zhenren Yin Xi,

Li Xuan took a long breath, and then recited aloud, "

After Li Xuan finished reading, the hundred officials fell silent. After a long time, an old man with gray hair and a ruddy face slowly walked out from among the civil and military officials.

After everyone saw the old man, they all gave way, because the old man was Yan Zhitui, one hundred and five years old, known as "Renrui", and was the descendant of Yan Hui, the most proud disciple of the holy master Confucius, and the author of the book "Yan's Family Motto", which is a must-read book for young children.

Yan Zhitui walked up to Li Xuan and said, "Old man Yan Zhitui loves to study evidence. The animal skin in your hand is very important, can you let the old man take a look? The old man's vision will be recognized by the whole world. ”

All the civil and military officials, especially the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan, echoed and said: "This animal skin is handed over to Mr. Yan, the master of the Shandong Hao clan, for research, and we are extremely relieved." Looking at the whole world, only Mr. Yan has the qualifications to judge the authenticity of animal skins. ”

Li Xuan respectfully handed the animal skin to Yan Zhitui.

Yan Zhitui carefully took the animal skin, stroked it gently, and said to himself: "It feels firm." ”

Facing the animal skin to the sun, he looked at it carefully: "The texture is natural, the curve is vivid, and the skin pattern is regular." ”

Another drop of water was dropped onto the hide, which absorbed the water, leaving a dark stain of water, and after waiting for a while, it returned to its original state. Yan Zhitui said excitedly: "This is the real Jiaopi." ”

After hearing this, the officials exclaimed: "Jiao's skin? Second only to the dragon's, Jiao's skin? If you don't have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, how can you get the skin of Jiao? Could it be that the content on this animal skin is true, and the royal family of the Li clan in Longyou is really the descendant of Lao Tzu, the saint of Taiqing? ”

Li Xuan understood that the Jiao that Yan Zhitui was talking about should be a crocodile. The crocodile, known as Jiao by the people at this time, also became the dragon carp, and is an existence second only to the dragon.

When everyone was amazed, Yan Zitui exclaimed again: "These words on the Jiao skin can still be clear after thousands of years, could it be that these words are written by the blood of the dragon turtle?" Blood of the Dragon Tortoise? It can only be it, except for it, I really can't think of any other material that can be written and kept for such a long time? ”

"It was actually written in the blood of the dragon turtle?" Once again, the officials were in shock.

The officials had not yet woken up from the shock, Yan Zhitui carefully stroked the words on the animal skin like a beloved baby, and muttered to himself: "These earliest characters are pre-Qin characters, it turns out that after the Taiqing sage crossed to the west, his descendants actually settled in the Qin State." ”

Immediately afterwards, Yan Zhi called

Ling, the secretary in charge of the national archives from the southern clan, the great Confucian Yu Shinan of the time,

Chu Suiliang, a generation of celebrities who was born in Guanlong aristocracy and was in charge of Guanlong aristocratic archives and books,

Kong Yingda, the thirty-second generation grandson of the Confucian saint of Qufu, who was born in the wealthy family of Shandong, and the generation of people who are in charge of the archives and books of the wealthy family in Shandong,

Ouyang Xun, a generation of Confucian who was born in the southern family and was in charge of the archives and books of the southern family,

Several people repeatedly scrutinized and studied, relying on the confirmation of ancient books, and discussed endlessly.

Emperor Li Yuan, Prince Jiancheng, King Li Shimin of Qin, and all the wealthy families and officials all looked at Yan Zhitui and several other Confucians nervously, and secretly said in their hearts: "If this precious animal skin is true, it will really help the orthodox status of Li Tang's rule." ”

And Li Xuan seemed unusually relaxed and relaxed.

Half an hour later, Yan Zhitui excitedly held the animal skin and said to Li Yuan: "After the analysis of the Confucianism of the secretary and me, the secretary and the Confucianism of the wealthy clans, I flipped through the "History of the Pre-Qin Dynasty", the "Historical Records" of Taishi Gong of the Western Han Dynasty, the "Book of Han" of Bangu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Book of the Later Han" of Song Fan Ye of the Southern Dynasty, the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", "History of the Western Liang", "History of the Western Wei", "History of the Northern Zhou Dynasty", "Book of Sui" and other historical books, and found that the contents of the animal skins have been confirmed one by one. This "Immortal System" has been judged to be true by our numbers. ”

As soon as Yan Zhitui's voice fell, the whole scene suddenly boiled. Emperor Li Yuan, Prince Jiancheng, King Li Shimin of Qin, the Li royal family of Longyou, and the nobles of Guanlong were all overjoyed. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, sighed even more: "I, Li Tang, have the orthodox status from now on. The Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan were stunned, but they had to admit this result from the bottom of their hearts. Because of the five people who judged this result, four of them Yan Zhitui, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda, and Ouyang Xun were all affiliated to the Shandong Hao clan or the Southern Shi clan, and only one Chu Suiliang belonged to the Guanlong nobles, which was their Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan judged that this animal skin was true.

Seeing that the Shandong Hao clan and the southern clan who had always questioned the royal lineage of the Li clan in Longyou and their origins were deflated, Emperor Li Yuan was in a very comfortable mood, and at the same time lost no time in ordering:

"I, Longyou Li, originated from the Taiqing sage Lao Tzu, and today it has been revealed to the world. Today, I, Li Tang, officially respect the Taiqing sage Lao Tzu as the Holy Ancestor, posthumously crown Lao Tzu as the Emperor of Taishang Xuanyuan, set the "Tao Te Ching" as the upper scripture, order hundreds of officials to study, and respect Taoism as the state religion. From now on, Taoism will be the first, followed by Confucianism, and Buddhism will be secondary. ”

"Respect my grandfather Li Hu of the Western Wei Dynasty, Taiwei, and the general of the Zhu State as the emperor, the temple name Tang Taizu, and the name of Emperor Jing; Zun Zhen's father, Tang Guogong Li Xun, was the emperor, the temple name Tang Shizu, and the name Yuan Emperor. ”

"The Imperial Palace, Longyou's hometown, and Jinyang, the land of Longxing, built the Xuanyuan Emperor Temple, the Sanqing Palace, the Dajiao Temple, the Qingsi Palace, the Dafu Hall and other Taoist buildings, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, worship at four o'clock."

After saying that, Li Yuan looked coldly at the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan and sternly ordered: "In the future, if anyone dares to question and slander the bloodline and origin of the Li clan of Longyou, it will be like a rebellion, and the crime should be robbed of the family." ”

The Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The Longyou Li clan is from the Taiqing sage, and the ministers will never dare to question it again. ”

Li Yuan looked at Li Xuan, who gave him this great gift, with satisfaction, and ordered: "The Ministry of Engineering will build a new Yong'an palace in Chang'an, and the head of the Yuxu Palace will teach Li Xuan to be the new king of Yong'an." ”

After that, Li Yuan took Li Xuan's hand and walked into the palace - Lin De Hall together.

The crown prince Jiancheng, the king of Qin, Li Shimin, and the civil and military officials followed.
