Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's throne was ceded to the Later Zhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The attitude of the Later Zhou monarchy towards Buddhism was very harsh, almost like Wu Zetian in the Tang and Zhou dynasties.

After one after another, the number of abandoned Buddhist temples reached 30,300, and the bronze Buddha statues in the temples were also pushed to mint copper coins. When he arrived at Zhou Shizong, he even personally dug a hole in the chest of the statue of great compassion.

However, only four years later, Zhou Shizong himself died of a hole in his chest.

Zhao Kuangyin and his younger brother, later Zhao Guangyi, who later became Taizong of the Song Dynasty, witnessed this with their own eyes. Recalling Zhou Shizong's behavior four years ago, they all subconsciously thought that this was the so-called karma.

After 'seeing is believing', Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi's attitude towards Buddhism has changed dramatically compared with that of the later Zhou, and after they ascended the throne one after another, they have 'repeatedly built Buddhist temples and aged 8,000 monks'.

However, during the period from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, the most respected thing was not Buddhism, but Taoism, a local religion native to the Central Plains.

Speaking of the reason, it is actually the same as Li Tang's respect for Taoism at the beginning.

In order to establish the orthodoxy of the Li family, Li Yuan and Li Shimin chose Lao Tzu Li Er and regarded him as his ancestor. In the same routine, after Zhao Kuangyin got the throne of Chan Rang from Hou Zhou, he also wanted to find a sufficiently orthodox background for himself, and then they hit the idea on the Jade Emperor.

The common name of the Jade Emperor is Zhao Xuanlang. After recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, the Zhao and Song royal families naturally believed in Taoism.

Taoism's status surpassed Buddhism in the Song Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.

At that time, Song Huizong believed in the Taoist priest Lin Lingsu, recruited Taoist priests, visited the immortal scriptures, and greatly promoted the Taoist temple. Some Taoist priests who were named in the court turned out to be as high-ranking as officials.

On the one hand, he ordered people to fabricate the "Wanshou Daozang", and on the other hand, he "slandered the Taoism and Confucianism with evil talk and slander in the 6,000 volumes of the Interpretation of the Teachings, and ordered his close ministers to look at them in the Taoist Academy, and to ask for them and burn them" (that is, to collect and burn the Buddhist scriptures and Confucian classics that were unfavorable to Taoism), in order to worship the Tao and suppress the Buddha, Song Huizong also ordered that the Buddhist temples in the country be changed to Taoist temples, and the ordinary monks and nuns in the temples changed their clothes and crowns, and 'transferred' to become Taoist priests and female crowns.

In the end, Song Huizong even gave himself the title of 'Daojun Emperor'.

Song Huizong was the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the seventh before him was Zhao Xu, who was now standing in front of Chu Xiaobai.

From the seventh to the eighth, how much time can there be in between? What's more, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong is not the son or nephew of Zhezong Zhao Xu, but his brother.

Zhao Ji, that guy finally became the Daojun Emperor, and what about Zhao Xu, who has a brotherly relationship with him?

The answer is obvious, Zhao Xu may not be as superstitious as Zhao Ji, but he should also be a very devout Taoist believer.

"I don't know that the immortal has arrived, Zhao Xu has missed the distance, and I ask the immortal to forgive the sin." Facing Chu Xiaobai, who was fluttering in white, Zhao Xu didn't care about his identity as an emperor, and immediately became a long-term leader.

The Empress Dowager Gao also came out, right next to the little emperor Zhao Xu. When the little emperor was fighting, she didn't make any moves, just stared at Chu Xiaobai with a thick suspicion and vigilance in her eyes.

"The emperor doesn't have to be polite, the mountain people really don't dare to be it." Chu Xiaobai returned the salute, and as for the Queen Mother, she was directly ignored by him - there is also a Queen Mother of Western Xia in the Tianshan Vulture Palace, really, that Queen Mother is much more powerful than the one in front of her.

Because of Chu Xiaobai's attitude towards the Empress Dowager Gao, a few of the ministers showed angry expressions, but seeing that the emperor was so polite, they had no choice but to press the fire first and honestly salute Chu Xiaobai.

It is not only because of a breath of anger in his heart, but also because Chu Xiaobai's face is very tender, and he has a little less credibility. Finally, someone took the initiative to ask him.

"I don't know where the immortals came from? And why? "Dare to interject and ask questions when Chu Xiaobai is talking to the emperor, it is obvious that this person is either the prime minister or the elder.

"I am a loose person, not bound by heaven and earth, so I have to be entrusted by the Jade Emperor to come to help you and others." If you want to achieve the goal later, you can't weaken the momentum at this time. Smiling slightly, Chu Xiaobai gave the answer prepared in advance.

When you encounter difficulties, you need help.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that the current Great Song Dynasty was quite stable, and there were no natural and man-made disasters, and it didn't seem to be in need of help, and many ministers had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Only the little emperor Zhao Xu's eyes swelled with a trace of excitement.

"Hehe, it seems that you are still suspicious." Shaking his head, Chu Xiaobai pretended to smile profoundly: "Fortunately, I have long expected this level, so let you open your eyes." ”

With a wave of his hand, a large plastic basin suddenly appeared in the open space in front of Chu Xiaobai.

For modern people, this kind of large plastic basin is nothing rare at all, and it can be bought for ten yuan in daily necessities stores.

But for the ancients, the large plastic basin was the first time they had seen it.

"It's not gold, it's not stone, it's not wood, it's not porcelain, it's ......." As Chu Xiaobai expected, there were indeed many people who showed puzzled and surprised expressions because of the material of the big pot.

"Your Majesty, please let someone carry some soil and put it in this big basin." Deliberately pretending not to see the reactions of those people, Chu Xiaobai turned his gaze to Zhao Xu, who was also a little surprised.

"Come on, go to the garden and get some soil~~!"

"Yes~." Kong Wu's powerful guards were on the side, and they immediately took the emperor's order.

It will obviously take some time for the guards to get the dirt back. During this time, Chu Xiaobai was not idle, I saw him turn over and take out a few small cloth bags and hand them to the ministers in front of him.

"May I ask the immortals, what are these ......?"

"The bag in your hand is the gadget I asked the barefoot fairy to beg, the little fairy's favorite snack." Pointing to the cloth bag in the hand of the person who asked the question, Chu Xiaobai said with a smile: "You can try one." ”

Without waiting for this person to make the next move, Chu Xiaobai pointed to several other bags one after another, and introduced the contents of the bags respectively: "That red bag, it contains a kind of condiment, Huo De Xingjun likes it very much, the taste is similar to dogwood, but it is much spicier than that thing; There is also the apricot-colored bag, which contains the favorite potpourri of the Seven Fairies, as long as you drop one or two drops on your body, it will smell all day; You've got this, let me see, uh, well, it's just some glass ornaments, used to decorate the house, it's not very useful...... ”

Huo Dexingjun's favorite condiment is the devil's pepper produced in India, the Seven Fairies' favorite potpourri is a cheap perfume in a transparent glass bottle, and as for the glass ornaments mentioned in Chu Xiaobai's mouth, they are actually just some small glass crafts. There are other things, like these things, which are not unusual in modern society, but the ancients have never seen them.

“……。” Exquisite glass handles are worthless? Because of Chu Xiaobai's 'arrogance', the ministers were indeed a little shocked.

"Ah~~~~!" At that moment, the silence was broken by a cry of pain.

Turning his head, he saw the red bag in the minister's hand, and then looking at his reaction at this moment, Chu Xiaobai understood what had happened-this guy must have been curious about the 'taste of Huo De Xingjun', and then secretly tasted the chili powder in a bag while everyone was not paying attention.

The minister's face was red and his neck was thick by the devil's pepper, and the whole person was rolling around on the ground, the official hat fell off, and the official robe was messed up. The colleague who is very stable on weekdays is so painful that he completely ignores the image, and all this is caused by the mysterious person in front of him, thinking of this, someone immediately jumped out and asked Chu Xiaobai with an angry face: "You demon way~~!" Hurry up and come up with an antidote~~! ”

"There's no need for an antidote, just give him some water." Turning his head, Chu Xiaobai straightened his face: "Don't blame others for your mistakes, don't you understand this point?" How did you get into this position? Do you remember what I said before, I said, that is Huo Dexingjun's favorite condiment, more spicy than dogwood. If you take a closer look at him, whether he is spicy or poisoned. ”

A person was sent here, and there was an exclamation over there, it turned out that the 'Little Fairy Child's snacks' had taken effect-the minister who had been instigated by Chu Xiaobai before ate one, and suddenly a pair of big ears like a fan suddenly grew.

"Huh." He took out his wand and tapped it at the minister who was running around in a panic. When he froze in place, Chu Xiaobai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, at most half an hour, you will automatically change back." ”

"The little fairies are still young, and they won't change drastically, so when they want to bluff people to play, they can only use this."

Hearing Chu Xiaobai's explanation, the ministers temporarily suppressed the worry in their hearts, and the guards on the side also retreated and returned to their previous posture.

The mess has finally calmed down, and the guards who had gone to get dirt have returned.

"Well, those were all inconsequential gadgets before. And this~" Chu Xiaobai waved his hand again and took out a cloth bag: "It is the treasure that really benefits the country and the people." ”

Under the gaze of the little emperor Zhao Xu and the ministers, Chu Xiaobai turned the mouth of the bag upside down, and two or three round balls first fell into the large basin filled with soil, and then, some yellow particles the size of little fingernails also fell out and spilled into the large basin.

"The big ones are called sweet potatoes, the small ones are called potatoes, and the smallest ones are called corn. These are all good things that I got from a place 100,000 miles away, and only with them, no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty will be starved to death. Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this meeting gift? ”
