Chapter 80: Religion

When many folk martial artists heard this, they glanced at each other, and one of them stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Wang Yue, please meet the Son of Heaven." ”

"Wang Yue" Li Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Wang Yue, Li Zheng knows. This person has extraordinary martial arts, and once single-handedly beheaded the Qiang chieftain. But compared with most folk martial arts masters, this person attaches more importance to fame and fortune.

In the former Han Dynasty, Wang Yue had been staying in Luoyang, wanting to be valued by the three princes and nine qings. But this person's background was despised by others, and no one recommended him, and finally only entered the palace as a tiger ben.

Tiger Ben, the guard of the forbidden palace, the guard of the Son of Heaven, named for his bravery, that's all.

Because of his strong martial arts, Xu once taught the Han Emperor swordsmanship, and was also called the emperor by the good deeds.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, this person successively served as a young emperor and an emperor. When Li Zheng took the guanzhong, he had seen this person in Chang'an, but he was not too impressed.

Later, Liu Xie went out to Yuan Shao, and this person was a follower.

Although seeing Wang Yue here and now made Li Zheng a little surprised. But thinking about it, it is not surprising that this person's martial arts reputation should be qualified to receive an edict.

"It turned out to be Master Wang Yue!"

This person's martial arts deserve the title of a master.

"Don't dare." Wang Yue's face was humble, and he bowed down and said: "The Son of Heaven falsely praised this Son of Heaven for summoning the Martial Scriptures, and he was a martial artist of the inferior people, but by the orders of His Majesty!" ”

Li Zheng bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Please sit" said with a sweep of his eyes, and said: "I want to summarize the martial arts schools in the world, bring together the characteristics of various martial arts, and compile a set of martial arts." One is to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, and the other is to carry forward the way of martial arts. ”

Those of you who know the reason for this, and since they have been called, they have already expressed their attitudes, no matter what they think in their hearts.

Next, starting with Li Zheng, he had a detailed discussion with the martial arts students present, and came up with a specific charter.

In the end, Li Zheng said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will send special personnel to cooperate with you in compiling this martial scripture Once the martial arts scripture is successfully compiled and carried forward, you are the source of martial arts in my origin empire, and after a hundred years, you should be qualified to enter the sage altar!" ”

Hearing this, these folk martial artists were all in high spirits, and their faces turned red.

They didn't expect that with their own identity, they would still have the qualifications to enter the Sage Altar. What glory is that? It's exciting to think about!

With this promise, some careful thoughts in the hearts of many people immediately dissipated without a trace.

Compared with the eternal future, everything else is trivial and can be thrown away.

"Okay, everyone, please go down and rest first, Taoists, monks, please stay." Li Zheng smiled slightly and waved his sleeves.

Immediately, most of the martial artists left the side hall, and only three Taoist priests and two monks were left in the hall.

These three Taoist priests are all famous figures, and they have been recorded in later history.

One of them has crane hair and a face like a child, which is Mr. Wujiao, Tianzhu Mountain Hermit Taoist Zuo Ci Zuo Yuanfang.

The second vicissitudes of life, ruddy complexion, is Jiangdong Lang Evil Palace Taoist Yu Ji.

The third is Zhang Sheng, the third son of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. When Zhang Lu was defeated, Zhang Sheng was an official in other places. After abandoning the official, he led the Wudou Rice Sect, moved to Longhu Mountain, and established a Taoist sect.

As for the two monks, they are both dying and decrepit. One of them is the abbot of Xiapi Futu Temple, whose law name is Fa Yuan. The other is a walking monk who wanders in the northwest all the year round, and his Dharma name is Xuankong.

"The five can be said to be the representatives of Taoism and Buddhism in this era." Li Zheng looked at the five people with calm faces in the capital and said, "I will leave the five of them here today, and there is something important to discuss." ”

"Taoism has a long history, starting from the Yellow Emperor and becoming Lao Tzu. Many of the ideas of Taoism have had a great influence on our nation that cannot be ignored. Confucius once asked Lao Tzu, in the early Han Dynasty, he also used Huang Lao's learning to govern the country. All of them can be seen. ”

"As for Buddhism, although it is a foreign religion, some of its teachings also have merits."

"You have been left behind for the purpose of discussing religious matters."

Hearing this, the faces of the five people in the hall were different.

Li Zheng continued: "I think religious belief is essential. One cannot live without faith, and without faith there can be no reverence. Now that my empire was first established, I also have some ideas about religious beliefs. ”

At this time, the Fa Yuan monk below got up, bowed, and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty what is your faith?" ”

"Me?" Li Zheng laughed, and then solemnized: "I don't believe in fabricated gods and Buddhas, I only believe in my ancestors who overcame obstacles for future generations, opened up living space for the race, and opened up a way forward!" ”

The light in his eyes flickered so hard that he didn't dare to look at him directly.

"Fuxi, Nuwa, there are nests, Suiren, Tieyi, Cangjie, three emperors, five emperors, King Dayu, King Wen of Zhou, and Qin Shi Huang! There are also Lao Dan, Mo Zhai, Kong Qiu, Bian Que, these sages and sages, which are my Li Chongxiao's beliefs! ”

"I am leaving you and the other five people here today because I want to create a religion that believes in the ancestors and sages! Wait, what do you think? ”

When the five people in the hall heard this, they all stared at each other.

After a long time, it was Na Fa Yuan who got up again and said, "Your Majesty wants to establish a religion, but I dare not listen." But where does His Majesty want to put our sect? ”

"Merge!"

Li Zheng said strongly: "Both Taoism and Buddhism have been merged into Protestantism. Take the essence, discard the dross, and change the face! ”

"No!"

In an instant, all five of them were shocked, and they couldn't even do it.

Li Zheng smiled faintly: "No, too!" ”

The five looked at each other.

"I've made up my mind." Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "Some of the ideas of Taoism and Buddhism can be integrated into Protestantism. As for Buddhism's emphasis on renunciation, reincarnation, etc., there is no need to save zĂ i anymore. The gods of faith are honored by the ancestors of our race, supplemented by the gods of nature such as the ether."

The more Li Zheng said, the more thoughts he had in his heart, and successively described the views of worshipping and respecting the ancestral spirits and sages, revering nature, and conforming to the general trend, with the core idea of practicing civil and military affairs, virtue and morality, and finally said: "This Protestant religion is called the Ancestral God Sect, and the next thing to do is to improve the teachings and canons of the Ancestral God Sect, and arrange the divine positions for many sages and saints."

Li Zheng couldn't say anything, and said what he thought in his heart.

"After the five have perfected all aspects of the Ancestral God Sect, they will be able to establish the Sect after I have seen it. The other five are the first archbishops of the Ancestral God Sect! ”

Without giving the five of them time to react, they got up and left the side hall.

Immediately, the hall fell silent.

The remaining five people glanced at each other, and each saw the helplessness in their eyes.

"Your Majesty is the god of heaven, and now he is bent on going his own way, what can I do?" Fa Yuan Dao.

"It's a foregone conclusion, and it can't be changed." Yu Ji and Zuo Ci glanced at each other, suddenly smiled, and said, "Before Poor Dao came here, I had some understanding. I didn't expect it to be such a result."

"Not bad." Zuo Ci said with a smile: "Although it is a Protestant, it does not abandon my Taoist thoughts, and with the support of the Son of Heaven, the sect can develop better." ”

Zhang Sheng slowly bowed his head and sighed: "This is the general trend, and the only way to do it is to conform." ”

The old monk with a dull face said the Buddha number, and said lightly: "This is the last time the old monk will say the Buddha number, and he will not be a monk in the future, but the archbishop of the Ancestral God Sect!" ”

"You old monk can see it."

A few people laughed.

Although it is a Protestant, as Zuo Ci said, it does not completely abandon the doctrine that has always been respected. In essence, it is just a change of the gods to be worshipped, the abandonment of some doctrines, and the addition of some doctrines, which is essentially just a change of appearance, and it is not unacceptable.

Besides, even if you don't accept it, what can you do?

Li Zheng, the Son of Heaven, was too strong, and they couldn't resist at all. It is better to conform to the general trend, so as to pass on some ideas, so as not to truly destroy the religion.

What's more, he can become the head of Protestantism, as the ancestor of the founding sect, and pass it on for eternity, and it will not be in vain to pursue this life.

The establishment of Protestantism was only a temporary idea of Li Zheng.

If it weren't for seeing these Taoist priests and monks in person, I'm afraid I wouldn't have this idea in a short time. But since you see it and remember it, then do it.

Resolute.

Of course, whether it is the compilation of martial arts scriptures or the reform of religion, it is not too important for Li Zheng.

After leaving the Government Council, he put the matter behind him and turned his attention to the major matter of counterattacking the beast.

To defend and attack, to recapture the land occupied by the fierce beasts, there are many preparations in all aspects.

Not to mention the deployment of troops, all kinds of logistical personnel and materials must also be stepped up. It is also necessary to make various preparations for the follow-up of the success or failure of the counteroffensive.

If the counterattack does not go well, how to distinguish it.

If the counterattack is smooth and the land is recaptured, how to relocate and resettle the people, set up an official ruling body, and so on, etc., the trouble is a mess.

And it's late autumn right now, and it's about to enter winter. After I am ready, I am afraid that it will be the beginning of spring next year.

So in general, it will be at least next year before a full-scale counteroffensive will be launched.

However, before the full-scale counteroffensive, the elite squads and mercenary systems of the war cavalry units can be the first to initiate

The next day, Li Zheng took a concubine.

Cao's daughter Cao Ke, Zhen's daughter Zhen Mi, Mi's daughter Mi Huan, Qiao's daughter Qiao Ying Qiaoyu, and Sun's daughter Sun Ren, six women with different temperaments and very human appearances, were included in Li Zheng's harem.

For a time, in the harem, ten big or small, or mature, or immature, or cheerful, or demure, or lively, or cute, or very talented, or heroic women gathered together, it was a warbler and a swallow, which was dazzling.

The families of the six concubines of Xinna were all taken to the pasture, and a simple ceremony was held to accept the concubine, and the matter was over.

It's easy to say, but in fact, many hidden purposes in politics have been unconsciously accomplished.

At least the Cao family and the Sun family were originally princes, and they must have been much more stable in their hearts when they were the ones who were in trouble. At least I won't worry that Li Zheng, the Son of Heaven, will suddenly uproot them.

Although Li Zheng actually doesn't have this idea. (To be continued.) )
