Chapter 49 For the sake of morality and fame, Lao Jun has compassion for King Wucheng

In the forty-ninth round, for the sake of morality, light fame, the old monarch has compassion for King Wucheng

I am a thousand miles for a thousand miles,

It's a pity that Bole goes, and he grinds the reins.

Last time, after the enlightenment pardoned the city god, he lamented that the minds of the people in the world had changed, and they wanted to build three major halls to worship the ancestors of the Three Realms, but they were stopped by Jiuqing. I want to be the city god's position, but it is a small last product, and it is the old department of Confucianism, so no one discourages it, but now I want to set up three major halls, and put the position of the Jade Emperor on the left, side by side with the Buddha in the West, so Jiuqing strongly admonished. Enlightenment was tired of listening to it early, and he tried his best to resist public opinion and insist on his own opinion. After the boycott of the dynasty, there were Taichang Cheng Jiantai Sui and others who came to see and become enlightened. Jian Tai Sui said: "I just don't know what the emperor intends to set up these three major halls?" Cheng Dao said: "Heaven and earth are vast and have a long history. The people of Middle-earth are self-reliant on the ancient faction and developed civilization, but do not want to forge ahead. Warm and thoughtful, poor and robbed, there are people who have no faith, and there are people who refute beliefs, and so on. Lonely now wants to build three major halls, is to promote the prestige of Taoism, to promote the three religions to stand together, so that the world can focus on faith, and practice morality, benevolence, compassion, and law. In addition to Qinglong, he said: "The emperor, the three religions stand side by side, there have been since ancient times, but they have always been feared by the heavenly court, and the emperor is so fanfare that I am afraid that the heavenly court will be displeased." Cheng Dao said: "The meaning of the lonely establishment, although it is to advocate the three religions side by side, the first thing is to promote my Taoism, and now the main hall is built, although it is the three religions, but there are four schools of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and Law. In ancient times, Laojun sent a letter to Guguan to turn Hu into a Buddha, and that Confucius was also the brother of the old gentleman, and the Legalist Han Feizi was the culmination of Laojun's proverbs, and he was also a disciple. Heaven is my Taoist Heavenly Court, the gods are Taoist officials, even if Heaven is not pleased, it must respect the Dao. Besides, Lonely and Qing are so at such a point, what is the joy and sorrow?" The nobleman said: "Emperor, the three halls are all dedicated to the ancestors of the immortal family, and placing the holy master in the first hall may make Confucianism dissatisfied. Cheng Dao said: "What Qing Zhi said is very reasonable, although the ancestor is a great sage, but now he has a low official position in the heavenly court, if he is above the high position, I am afraid that he will not be able to peace." Lonely admires the teacher, when the world is wide and sacrificed, and its virtues are spread. Thinking of the benevolence and righteousness of the ancestors, he will be able to know the loneliness and suffering, and he will not care. ”

Cheng Baihu said: "Emperor, the minister heard that the emperor's teacher is the ancestor of Bodhi, but I don't know why these three major halls do not have the palace of the ancestors?" The people were puzzled, but they did not dare to ask. Chengdao saw what everyone was thinking, and said: "What Gu Zhiqing and others are thinking. The ancestor of Bodhi taught the supreme skill of solitude, and he always remembered it in his heart. It's just three points, Lone Judgment can't establish a position for the ancestor: First, among the disciples passed down by the ancestor, there are senior brothers Monkey King and Lone who hit the Heavenly Palace, which shames the Heavenly Court, and although Lone is now pardoned, he can't change the past. Second, the ancestor is indifferent to fame and fortune, does not like luxury and noise, and is not allowed to ask for pardon to build a palace for sacrifice, which may violate the ancestor's intention of cultivating the Qing Dynasty; third, the three major halls set up by the lonely are for the people of the world, who want to have something to ask for, and come to worship, the ancestor has been incarnated into a tree, and mortals will recite the sacrifice to no avail, which will lighten the reputation of the ancestor. Therefore, Lone did not dare to stand up. Thinking about these three realms, with the lonely benefactor, but the blessed monarch Zhang Guo, and the lonely hate, but the heavenly court jade emperor, the triple hall does not establish the position of the blessed monarch, but the lonely saint and the public, the virtuous do not avoid revenge. The crowd was silent.

Full mourning door: "Emperor, if you build three major halls, don't you need the gods to come to the dojo?" Cheng Daoyan said: "If the deity comes, it must be a blessing, even if you can't come in person, send the disciples to stay here, you can also fulfill the wish of mortals." Wei Zhuque said: "Emperor, Weichen has a word, but I don't know if I should say it?"

Wei Suzaku said: "Emperor, among the gods, there are gaps, although the emperor's original intention is to make the gods famous, but in the end, it will make the gods ridicule, and they will not come, and the emperor may not end up at that time." On the top of the court discussion, the ministers only said that the gap between the heavenly court and the Western religion, the immortal master and the Taigong, but they did not know that the Jade Emperor and the Sanqing struggle for power, and the gap with the Taigong could not be resolved, and the Zhenyuan Daxian and the Taigong were also not harmonious, and the old monarch and the Buddha were in the same fire, and the emperor now gathered the temple of the gods in one place, like the coexistence of sulfur and coal, dry wood and fire, which is bound to lead to a fire, making the emperor in a dilemma, right and wrong. Everyone's eyes were in danger, and they were all in suspense.

Cheng Daoyan said: "What Aiqing said is needle-and-needle. The original intention of solitude is for the sake of Taoism and all living beings, except for heaven and earth, the three clears, solitary and non-ritual, what is there to fear? Even if all the gods are unwilling to send down their disciples, Lone is also the first to respect the courtesy, so as not to lose the number of courtesies. What Zhong Qing said is very reasonable, and it is also a lone reputation. It's just that he has made up his mind, and he regards his reputation as less than the prestige of Taoism. Don't talk about it again. ”

In fact, the grievances between the Jade Emperor and Jiang Taigong have been around for a long time, and the Three Realms know about it, but they don't dare to say it. That Taigong was originally a person who learned the Tao in Kunlun Mountain, and was ordered by the ancestors of the Three Qing Dao to be a god in the lower realm, but it was a pity that the god position was sealed, but he ended up with nothing. Daozu was also helpless, so he had to give away a dry treasure such as the whip of the gods, and give him the right of "subrogation", but where the prince was everywhere, the gods abdicated. But even so, Taigong had to raise his eyebrows among the earth immortals, the laws and regulations above the heavenly court were strict, and there were even more Dao Ancestor Immortal Sects in the ranks, how could he show his glory? However, after the Jade Emperor took power, he was always afraid of Jiang Taigong's prestige, so he often hindered him. When those backward immortals saw it, they all followed suit, in order to favor the Jade Emperor, so Taigong was still unhappy on the ground.

When the mortal world was reckless, the officials took the opportunity to expropriate and extort violently, and the people were not able to make a living. However, if the children of the people want to get married, they will build a new house, which is a major event in life, and they will worship the prince on the day of the beam. The people often asked, "When will we see the light of day again?" Will the people's deeds be accomplished? Taigong Wangwang However, if the number of days is like this, the people of Li can wait for the change of the situation, and the injustice, curse it, rise up and ask for it, and follow Allah to destroy the rebels, and they will be victorious. That Gao Ming Gao Jue was monitoring the Taigong at any time, and when he saw such remarks, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed into the Lingxiao Hall to report to the Jade Emperor.

When the Jade Emperor saw the two entering, he asked, "Do the two Qing have something to do?"

The two knelt down, confessed their guilt, and said: "Jiang Ziya is bewitching the people and bullying the king in the nether realm, and he is ......."

Seeing that the two of them were abrupt, the Jade Emperor asked, "What is Jiang Ziya's madness?"

Gao Jue said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the minister for not respecting and confessing his guilt, otherwise the minister will not dare to speak." ”

The Jade Emperor forgave his innocence and said: "Erqing's loyal and upright heart is fully known, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

That Gao Jue bowed again, and said: "Thank Your Majesty for forgiving the sins of the ministers!" That Jiang Ziya repeatedly said to everyone in the lower realm, 'Youren steals the great treasure', and also made the people 'complain and curse, rise up and beg for it', the minister really can't bear it, and dare to take the crime of disrespect." "It turns out that the Jade Emperor's surname is Zhang Mingyouren, I don't know if the prince was a momentary gaffe or intentionally pointed out, but he did not avoid the Jade Emperor and committed the crime of disrespect.

The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered someone to summon the Luminous Star and make him pass on the decree to the world, and the gentleman on the beam was a thief, and everyone could get it and punish him. Youyun "thousands of defenses, house thieves are difficult to prevent", family thieves refer to Liang Shang Zhenjun. It turned out that after Taigong was sealed as a god, he was depressed because he missed sealing himself. Taishang Laojun took pity on his hard work, not only gave the world wealth, but also gave the whip of the gods, the apricot yellow flag, so that wherever he went, the gods abdicated, and he could take charge of the affairs of the people and the whole family on weekdays, and was the head of the family. Now, the Jade Emperor is furious, and he has promoted the king of the stove to be the head of the family, and the affairs of the people's family have the king of the stove to play the heavenly court and seize the power of the prince.

Above the heavenly court, clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear resented Taigong because they were not canonized gods, and saw that the Jade Emperor had long been dissatisfied with Taigong, so Heavenly Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear often paid attention to Taigong's whereabouts, added oil and vinegar to play the Jade Emperor, and only said that Jiang Taigong had bad intentions. There are even more mountain gods on the land, and the land is in trouble everywhere, so that the mountains and rocks hinder the pilgrims, and make it difficult for the seedlings to bear fruit. Taigong had no choice but to wander the world. But all the scholars in the world are protégés of saints, and they respect the teachings, and no one believes in Taigong. After the Jade Emperor heard about Qi Jinggong's help, he said: "Jiang Ziya is disrespectful to the old, and he is mostly sacrificed by the people, and the heavenly court is generous, so he will not be held accountable, but will intensify it, often spreading rumors in the lower realm, disrupting the order of the world, speculating on the heavenly opportunity, which is tolerable and unbearable!" Xiaodou recycled to buy people's hearts, intending to overthrow Jiang's surname Lu. Therefore, after the death of Qi Jinggong, the Tian clan expelled the Guo clan and the Gao clan, who were also the descendants of the Taigong, and set up a new lord, named Qi Xiang and actually the king of Qi. Therefore, only a hundred years later, the descendant of the Taigong, Qi Kanggong, was overthrown by the Tian clan and exiled to the sea. Although the prince knew that this was a secret obstacle in the heavenly court, there was nothing to be done, but there were many earth immortals, and he was upset for the prince, and said: "The ancestor of the Tian family is a minister who avoids trouble, thanks to the descendants of the prince who do not abandon it, in order to be able to save his life in Qi and survive, Jiang surnamed Lu has a lot of great kindness to the Tian family, and his ancestor is Gongzheng, hereditary replacement, and later generations will marry the Tian family under the golden branches and jade leaves, so graceful, Tian not only does not read, but commits this heinous crime, and the disciples are willing to obey the orders of the teacher, eradicate the Tian family, and support justice!" Those earth immortals seem to be full of righteous indignation, but they are just using this picture to worship the gods. When Wu Dexing Jun heard this, he secretly instructed the Tian family, although he usurped the position of the Lu family, but he could not change the name of the country, he still called Qi, and he should pay more respect to the Taigong, and the Taigong saw this, and knew that it was the way of heaven, so he acquiesced, so that many earth immortals did not have the heart of conquest. Wude Xingjun also reported to the Jade Emperor Cao, and ordered Zhou Tianzi to canonize Tian as the Marquis of Qi. Soon after the death of Duke Qi Kang, the surname Jiang of Qi was extinct, and the sacrifice of Taigong was not as good as before, so Taigong had the intention to rebel, and at this time, the heavenly court had already set the rules of heaven: in the future, all immortal cultivators, after the merit is completed, must be given a golden flower by the Jade Emperor before they can be granted divine status. It turned out that countless earth immortals who followed Taigong fled in an instant, and Taigong was helpless.

After all, now the Jade Emperor has become the lord of the Three Realms, although he respects the Three Qings, but after thousands of years of operation, he has already drawn the powerful immortal officials among the courtiers to the past, as if he was overlooking the Three Qings. Even Jiang Qi's heir had to be comforted a little, and he sent the Xianshan Ancient Temple to make Taigong practice.

After more than 1,000 years, the descendants of Taishang Laojun established the Tang Dynasty, but saw that the Confucian incense was prosperous, Laojun asked the Jade Emperor to say: "Your Majesty, now the mortal world respects Confucius believers very much, and there are four people, ten philosophers, seventy-two sages and other people in the Confucian Temple, the scale is large, the momentum is magnificent, it is rare, compared with the grand view of my teaching, Xiongyu, there is no more. In the long run, believers in the world will inevitably only know what is behind but not what is before, and they will only cultivate themselves and not for the sake of cultivation. Please Your Majesty issue a decree to let the Lord set up a fairy palace to resist the Confucianism. When the Jade Emperor heard this, he said: "What the Taishang said is reasonable, I should order the lord of the people, build more Taoist palaces, and serve the three Qings." Zhang Tianshi said: "Your Majesty is wrong. Besides, Taishang is the master of Confucius, so how can he compete with his disciples for worship and worship? Your Majesty should order the master of the people to build temples and temples with the same Venerable Confucius, so as to ensure the growth of our religion. The Jade Emperor said: "The Heavenly Master is thoughtful, and it should be so." According to what Qing Zhi said, but who should be pushed?" Zhang Tianshi said: "Your Majesty, I am waiting for the immortal officials of the Heavenly Court to come forward, I am afraid that I am raising Confucianism, it is better to order the Lord to build a Lu Shang Temple and worship Jiang Ziya." The first Jiang Ziya is a disciple of the original Taoist ancestor, who is the same generation as Confucius, and there is room for maneuver in the court; second, Jiang Ziya is not an official of the heavenly court, so it is not easy for Confucianism to find the heavenly court; the third is the most important, Jiang Ziya has had a festival with Confucius, and the two are incompatible, so this matter is the best. The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Qiu Tianshi, what is the intention of Qing?" Qiu Tianshi said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Zhang Tianshi said is reasonable, even if Jiang Ziya is insufficient, it is still a matter within my Taoist family, and Confucianism also has strengths, and it is still a person who competes with me for benefits." Now in the Three Realms, there are many immortals who secretly flatter the Confucian immortals, and only Jiang Ziya can take on this responsibility. The Jade Emperor was silent, and said for a moment: "According to the will of the Taishang, I ordered the lord to build a temple in the court to worship Jiang Ziya, and to be more worthy of worship to resist Confucianism." If Jiang Ziya can do this, it will not be too late to build a palace. "The people are in charge.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhang Tianshi personally passed on the edict to the lord and passed down the oracle of the Jade Emperor. The lord of the time is Tang Emperor Li Heng, is the third son of Xuanzong, since childhood there have been many troubles, repeatedly threatened by Princess Taiping, Prime Minister Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others, in the crown prince cautious, like walking on thin ice, fortunately Taishang Laojun was ordered by Jiang Taigong secretly to help, in order to save the danger several times. It wasn't until Hu rebelled against An Lushan that he helped Li Heng, and then killed Yang Guozhong, forced Yang Yuhuan to kill, and established himself as the emperor, and respected his father as the emperor. After Li Heng ascended the throne, he rewarded the heroes, and was even more grateful to Jiang Taigong and wanted to build a temple. In the first year of Li Heng's ascension to the throne, he posthumously crowned Jiang Taigong as the king of Wucheng, and now there is a holy decree of the heavenly court, so he will build the temple of King Wucheng, fight against the Confucian Temple, and also elect seventy-two worthy people. Therefore, I personally helped the beggars and asked about the deserving thing. I saw Taigong write: Zhang Zifang is well aware of Tao strategy, both civil and military, and can seek fame; Guan Yiwu has a deep way of governing the country and a strategy of Anbang, and can be dedicated to the lord, loyal to the country, respect the king, so that Kong Qiu praises, in fact, he is the prime minister of China, and can be famous; although Tian Sui Tho is the queen of the Tian family, he can govern the army according to the law, so that the enemy will flee in despair, and he can be trusted; Sun Changqing is the teacher of a hundred generations, the originator of military science, and can be famous; Fan Shaobo is a talented but can retreat bravely. The family has a huge wealth but can scatter all the wealth, can be famous; Le Yongba commands the army of the five countries, and is about to subvert the strong country, but he can reduce the tax burden, abolish the harsh government, and can be benevolent; Han Xin worships the altar of the general in the name of a fugitive, and his fame has not yet been made, but he has a heavy army but his loyalty does not change, he is really a national warrior, slightly unworldly, and can be brave; Zhuge Kongming has done his best and died, and he is in the thatched house and divides the world. Even if he has magic and does not change his original intention, he can be loyal to his name; although Li Yaoshi is the second master, he can be fully loyal, and although he has been tempered, he can judge the situation and be sincere; Li Maogong is kind and benevolent, and he can help the township, and he can be righteous and famous; Guo Ziyi can be famous if he is ordered to be in danger and not be chaotic and slandered by others.

Li Heng strictly obeyed the decree of the law and appointed Zhang Liang, Guan Zhong, Tian Sui Tho, Sun Wu, Fan Li, Le Yi, Han Xin, Zhuge Liang, Li Jing, Li Tao, and Guo Ziyi as sages. In addition, Bai Qi, Sun Bin, Lian Po, Li Mu, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Li Guang, Huo Quzhi, Deng Yu, Feng Yi, Wu Han, Ma Yuan, Huangfu Song, Deng Ai, Zhang Fei, Lu Meng, Lu Kang, Du Pre, Tao Kan, Murong Ke, Yu Wenxian, Wei Xiaokuan, Yang Su, He Ruobi, Li Xiaogong, Su Dingfang, Wang Xiaojie, Wang Hui, Li Guangbi, Wu Qi, Tian Dan, Zhao Hao, Wang Qian, Peng Yue, Zhou Yafu, Wei Qing, Zhao Chongguo, Kou Xun, Jia Fu, Geng Yi, Duan Biao, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, Yang Hu, Wang Jun, Xie Xuan, Wang Meng, Wang Zhenwei, Hu Luguang, Wang Sengbi, Yu Jin, Wu Mingche, Han Baohu, Shi Wansui, Wei Chi Jingde, Pei Xingjian, Zhang Rendan, Guo Yuanzhen, and Li Sheng are the recipients.

A superintendent of the imperial history reported this matter to the Jade Emperor, saying: "Jiang Ziya named Zhang Liang as the first match of the sacrifice, just because Zhang Liang was taught by the old man of the Taigong Art of War, which is the reason why he is a disciple of the Taigong." Jiang Ziya's move is really nepotism, and he is not worthy of being done by Immortal Venerable. Another casual attendant said: "That Guan Zhong has the ugliness of doing business and making heavy profits and escaping from the battle, but he is only assisting Jiang Ziya's descendants to have merit, and I am afraid it is not enough to ascend to the throne." Another person said: "Although Guan Yiwu has an ugly name, he is the teacher of a sage, and with this person, Confucianism will not dare to transgress." Another left and right played: "Le Yi once defeated the king of Qi and captured more than 70 cities, and almost lost the country of the Tian clan, which is suspected of helping Jiang Ziya to restore the country, I hope Your Majesty will see it." When the Jade Emperor heard this, he said: "That Le Yi is each his master, not to help Jiang Shang." A counselor said: "Although Li Jing has made outstanding contributions, he does not know how to avoid Li Tianwang, if he is allowed to enjoy the temple, I am afraid that Li Tianwang will be displeased." The Jade Emperor said: "Then Li Jing is the nephew of Han Baohu, the king of Yama, and he rashly belittles him, which may displease the king of Yama." I know that Li Tianwang is elegant, and I definitely won't care. However, most of these people are famous ministers and fierce generals, and if the power is great in the future, it may be difficult to suppress it. Therefore, not long after, Guan Zhong and Fan Li were promoted to heavenly officials, enjoying the heavenly court, and were not among the sages. And because Li Tao helped Wu Zetian ascend the throne, Li Heng was ordered by Jiang Taigong to respect Guo Ziyi as "Shang Father", which was the intention of King Wu of Zhou to respect Taigong, so the two were suspicious of the heavenly court, so they were among the sages. Ling Qian Wu Qi, Bai Qi, and Cao Cao were sages, and the number of ten philosophers was enough. Although Wu Qi was able to sympathize with the soldiers and make the strong neighbors dare not invade, he had the reputation of unfilial piety and injustice, and was expelled from Confucianism; although Bai Qi was the first of the four generals of the Warring States Period, he was invincible and invincible, but he had the reputation of indiscriminate killing; although Cao Cao was able to use his talents and make the people rest, he was a hero in troubled times and usurped the throne. Therefore, Wucheng Wang Temple cannot be famous after all, and it is difficult to compete with the Confucian Temple. That's for later. Exactly: things are really rare in the world, and people are light and vain.

I don't know what the aftermath is, and let's see the next breakdown.
