Chapter 47: Agreements
In the early morning of the next day, the scholarly garden.
Li Qingzhao was dressed in a thin moon-white coat, elegantly sitting in front of a dresser made of delicate yellow rosewood, with two blush flowers on her beautiful cheeks. Zhang Shang stood behind her, holding a delicate ivory comb, combing her long, silky hair that hung straight down her thighs.
"This time, my father let the concubine return home, but he actually intended to match the concubine with Zhao Shilang's son." Li Qingzhao was a little shy when he said this, as if he didn't want to talk about these things in front of his lover. When she finished speaking, she suddenly glared at Zhang Shang sideways, and snorted: "If you lose your words again this time, the concubine will be." ”
Zhang Shang saw Li Qingzhao's imposing cute appearance, and without waiting for her words to finish, he directly leaned over and blocked her delicate cherry lips, so that she could only make a whining sound.
"Don't worry, this time I won't disappoint Qingzhao and my father-in-law." Zhang Shang took advantage of it, and he was afraid to pat his chest with his face held high and assure Li Qingzhao.
"Bah, the devil will believe you, a disciple." Li Qingzhao felt the warmth on his lips that had not dissipated, and glanced at Zhang Shang angrily.
She said, with a faint worry on her face, and sighed: "If you have fame, your father may be able to do something easier." But you, a lazy disciple, obviously have amazing talent, but you don't have the heart of a career. I know you don't have a reputation for it, but my father values it very much. ”
Li Qingzhao said, secretly rolling his eyes at Zhang Shang.
This bad guy, when he told himself the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and many supernatural stories, said that he borrowed it from others. Hmph, when people are stupid, there are no such books in this world.
Li Qingzhao has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he never let go of this hobby when he practiced in Yaochi. She asked herself how well-informed, and she didn't dare to say that she knew all the books in the world, but she also dared to say that the books that Zhang Shang had talked about were definitely not borrowed by him from others.
Because those books and stories are all classics. Such classic books and stories, once known to the world, must be a situation where Luoyang paper is expensive, and there is no reason why no one in the world has ever heard of it.
When she was young, Li Qingzhao didn't feel it yet, but later she sometimes thought about the things of the year, and she couldn't help but feel incredible.
When Zhang Shang was young, sometimes he didn't look like a child at all!
When Zhang Shang heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
The heart of no fame must be fake, and with the unforgettable crossing benefits, I secretly don't know how many famous poems and classics have been prepared for generations to come. He even once planned to compile a dictionary of the Great Song Dynasty, hoping to become a great writer with celebrities through the ages, and even to make a Confucian sub-sage.
However, Zhang Shang, who has been a person in two lifetimes, is naturally not a frizzy young man. Although he prepared a lot of things, considering his age, he kept it silent and did not reveal it.
After all, what he wants is to be a genius, not a monster in the eyes of others. If a little child can occasionally chant a classic, it may be understandable. But if you write the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or even talk about classics like Zhai Zhiyi, it is definitely a joke.
For the sake of life safety, Zhang Shang naturally would not be stupid enough to behave too abnormally. Originally, he had already planned to start his own plan to be a great writer when he was fifteen years old, and gradually started the popularity of Zhang Dawenhao. It's just that the plan can't catch up with the changes, who would have thought that in addition to the benefits such as unforgettable, there will be golden thighs waiting for them.
With Jin on his thighs, and even faintly able to see the hope of becoming a god, Zhang Shang naturally had no interest in the previous great writer's plan.
Although Li Qingzhao had a little misunderstanding, Zhang Shang had no intention of explaining.
He comforted: "Although fame and fortune are moving, they are not the whole story. You can go home and wait for me with peace of mind, I will definitely go to Kaifeng to find you around May or June. As for my father-in-law, I'll deal with it. ”
Li Qingzhao heard Zhang Shang talk about his father-in-law, and his pretty face was as red as rouge. Although she was still a little worried, she was smart and didn't show it, for fear of putting too much pressure on Zhang Shang.
Perhaps, I can go and ask Master.
The two of them stayed for a moment, and no one mentioned anything about Master Li, and tacitly chose to forget about it for the time being. It wasn't until Li Qingzhao had to leave for Kaifeng that Zhang Shang left the scholarly garden that had been temporarily closed.
※※※
Under the exquisite gazebo, Zhang Shang sat opposite the moon god.
"Today, Taoism is already powerful, and now Chongyang Zhenren has been rewarded by adults, which will inevitably make Taoism's prestige in all parts of the world one step further. Therefore, if you want to balance Taoism and other forces, I am afraid that it is not an easy thing to do. "The moon god's voice is gentle, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Zhang Shang nodded approvingly when he heard this, and then couldn't help but fall into embarrassment.
He only now realizes how crude his plan really was. At the beginning, he only cared about harvesting more faith points, and he didn't think about the future. Nowadays, the prestige of Taoism is in full swing, and Quanzhen Sect is regarded as a sacred place for immortals by the world. Only now did Zhang Shang suddenly realize that he could no longer find the power that could balance them.
In the past hundred years, the Song Dynasty has advocated Taoism and suppressed Buddhism.
Today's Buddhism, under the oppression of Taoism, survived, even the Shaolin Temple, which once shocked the world, now has to close the mountain to avoid the edge in the face of the rising true religion, not to mention other large and small temples. With the current strength of Buddhism, let alone wanting to compete with Taoism, I am afraid that if they just want to jump out and do something, they will be crushed to death by the Taoist bigwigs who have been waiting for a long time.
However, although today's officials worship Taoism, they are not fuel-efficient lamps.
He knows the balance of the emperor's power, even if he worships the Tao, he will not deliberately destroy the Buddha. Therefore, even if those Taoist bigwigs want to kill all the monks in the world, they have to take into account the views of the imperial court.
If Buddhism dares to jump out at this time, I am afraid that it will not play into their arms.
And if Buddhism cannot be driven to compete with it for the time being, then it can only be found from within Taoism. Zhang Shang thought of the current situation of Taoism, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Taoism in later generations is roughly divided into two major schools, one is the Zhengyi Sect headed by Longhu Mountain, and the other is the Quanzhen Sect. However, now the Zhengyi Sect, which unifies half of Taoism, has not yet been established, and the Shangqing School, the Lingbao School, and the Heavenly Master Dao and other Fu schools are still in their own era.
It seems that if you want to balance the Quanzhen Sect, you can only start with the Zhengyi Sect for the time being.
Zhang Shang pondered for a moment, and already had an idea in his heart.
It's just that when he thought of Li Qingzhao's matter, he stood up a little absentmindedly and said goodbye to the moon god. "That's all for today, I still have other things to do, so I won't bother Your Excellency Luna."
"Congratulations, sir." The moon god bowed his body and said softly.
Zhang Shang bowed slightly, and did not say much.
Li Qingzhao's matter disrupted his plan slightly. If it was before marrying the Yin Sect, Zhang Shang would naturally be ecstatic. But now he had to consider the reaction of the Yin Sect, as well as Wang Xiaoman's attitude towards the matter.
Although even if there are a hundred more Yin Sect members, Zhang Shang is not afraid at all. But Wang Xiaoman is a member of the Yin sect after all, and the feelings of his relatives always need to be considered. Moreover, the Yin Sect has never done anything to be sorry for the Zhang family, and even helped a lot, Zhang Shang always wants to give them a proper explanation.
