Chapter 36: Wendao Temple
The Korean court, below the king of Han, has two prime ministers, left and right, assisting the prime minister of the king of Han in political affairs. Below the second phase, there are Da Si Tian, who is in charge of agriculture, Da Honglu, who is in charge of foreign affairs, Da Sima, who is in charge of military affairs, Da Si Li, who is in charge of criminal affairs, and Da Si Tian, who supervises the words and deeds of officials and advises the king of Han.
South Korea's bureaucracy, like that of other countries, is hereditary. If the bureaucracy does not commit crimes, it will be an official for generations, but the position will change slightly. In addition to the official position, there are two titles, one is the marquis, the other is the monarch, and the marquis is above the monarch.
The various classes under the hereditary system are basically solidified, the generations of nobles and the generations of the poor. It is very difficult for civilians to rise to the higher ranks, but it is not without means. The first is to join the army, establish military merits, and be promoted; the second is to stoop down to serve people, meet the big officials of the court, and get recommendations. There is no other way.
Han Zhan, the founder of South Korea, was originally a cultivator, so the Korean bureaucracy is slightly different from that of other countries. There is one institution in South Korea that no other country has, and that is the "Wendowon".
This temple was also created by the Korean War. Han Zhan has been the king for decades, and his life is about to end, so he abdicated and founded Wendaoyuan, and cultivated in Wendaoyuan. As a result, he broke through the realm and lived for another 200 years.
Later generations, after imitating the Korean War and enjoying the throne for decades and hundreds of years, abdicated and went to Wendaoyuan to cultivate the truth. Therefore, the status of this Wendao Academy in Korea is actually higher than that of King Han.
At first, Wendoin was a special place for the abdication of King Han, but later it became sour. First, some of the children of the clan entered the Wendao Academy, and finally some cultivators who were not the children of the clan also entered the Wendao Academy.
It's actually quite interesting how things evolve.
As everyone knows, cultivators live a long life, and their body functions far exceed those of ordinary people, but there is only one point, but they are far inferior to ordinary people. That is fertility. If a cultivator also gives birth like ordinary people, won't the whole world soon become the descendants of a cultivator? In fact, this is also the way of balancing heaven and earth, and if the strong let him have few offspring, such as tigers and lions, and if he is weak, he will give birth to many, such as antelopes and elks.
If a cultivator combines with a mortal, it will be difficult to give birth to offspring, because the difference between the two bloodlines is too great. Even if they are lucky enough to give birth, they are not the spirit body of the cultivators, but they may also be mortals.
Han Zhan had a testament on his deathbed, and he wanted to make the strong king, so the heir of the king of Han became a big problem. The reigning king often does not give birth to offspring, or gives birth to a mortal child, he cannot be established as the crown prince, and can only inherit the throne through the descendants of the clan Xiuzhen.
The current king, Han Li, is not the son of the previous king. He has 3,000 beauties in the harem, and only has one daughter, who is named "Princess of Heaven", taking the meaning of God's favor. The princess of heaven is also a body of cultivation.
Han Li is a very selfish person, his throne, he only wants to pass on to his own daughter, Wen Daoyuan refused at first, but Han Li Dao Xing is considered high among the kings of the past dynasties, Wen Daoyuan can't control him, he can't help but compromise, and finally came up with a two-way strategy: agree to the princess of heaven to inherit the throne, but must be after giving birth to a male spirit. Han Li also agreed.
Wendao Academy is among the six countries, and recruits cultivators to enter Wendao Academy, so as to choose the best to marry the princess of heaven. However, I heard that the Taoist Academy was not rich enough, and those cultivators with excellent qualifications did not bother to come. Wendaoyuan had no choice but to build a "Asking Dao Wall", wanting to find the pearl of cultivation among mortals.
This wall was built when the princess was three years old, and it has been ten or four years now. In the past fourteen years, there have only been three mortals who can open the Dao Wall, and one of them is still a woman, and they have all entered the Wendao Academy. A few days ago, a merchant from the Dian Kingdom told Han Li through the "temple man" that there was a young man in a good deed, who might be a cultivator. Han Li told Wendao Academy.
Wen Daoyuan secretly observed Jing Wuxian for a few days, and recruited him while the martial arts gate was shooting.
However, it was said that Tao Xi Tao Huan returned to a good deed and reported to Tao Qing, and Jing Wuxian had been picked up by the temple people. The people of this temple are the men who have been castrated, and they are only available in the palace or in the Wendaoyuan. Tao Jing knew that there were people among the merchants that day who invited him to be favored in front of King Han, and Su Yi's identity had been revealed, but he was helpless.
That day, she clearly said that there were four paths to be an official, but she only told Jing Wuxian about three, and this fourth path was actually to enter the Wendao Academy, but she hid a little bit of her daughter's private thoughts, afraid that Jing Wuxian would be favored by the princess of heaven and become a concubine, so she didn't say it. Unexpectedly, Jing Wuxian was still recruited by Wendao Academy.
Tao Jing was unhappy and returned to the boudoir. The boudoir is very magnificent, the antique bottle is placed on several shelves, on the shelf is a painting, the painting is called "Qingyun Song Picture", in the painting a young man, the sword is flying in the air, the shape is very handsome and chic, looking at its appearance, there are six or seven points like Jing Wuyi.
Tao Jing looked at the painting blankly, and after a while, he instructed the maid: "Ping'er, put away this "Qingyun Song Picture". ”
Ping'er was surprised: "Miss, this painting has been hanging here for many years, why do you want to put it away today?"
Tao Jing said: "If you want to put it away, put it away, where is so much nonsense." ”
Ping'er tilted her head and thought for a while, and guessed: "Yes, Miss must have met the real person, blame this painter for not painting well." If you look at these eyes, they are not as godly as Jing Gongzi, and their temperament and demeanor are also very inferior. ”
I have seen this painting Tao Jing countless times, thinking that it is just the imagination of the painter, how can a person in this world be so handsome, until I see Jing Wuyi, I know that God loves a person, and it is like this!
Ping'er accepted "Qingyun Song Picture", Tao Jing let her out, and fell on the bed alone, thinking about it, she wanted to make the next decision, but she couldn't be ruthless. She took out the scrolled painting again, looked at it carefully, inch by inch, and the tears flowed down like pearls with broken threads. She knew that she had no chance with Jing Wuwu after all, and the long pain was better than the short pain, so she simply cut off the love thread as soon as possible.
Tao Jing was originally a resolute person, and after figuring out this section and shedding tears, he put things aside and calculated again. She thought that after Jing Wuxian entered the Wendao Academy, she would never lose this big tree with a good deed. Jing came to South Korea without mistake, he was not familiar with the place, and a good deed can be regarded as his old friend, this emotional card must be played, and he will go out to see his father after thinking about it.
Tao Bao had already heard Tao Xi talk about Wulinmen, and when he saw Tao Jing's eyes red and swollen, he knew that she had already cried once, and the father didn't know what was going on with his daughter, so he comforted: "Qin'er, everything wants to be opened, people who cultivate the truth are different from us mortals after all." Daddy has no children under his knees, and he is over half a hundred years old, so he has your baby daughter, our Tao family, and we are still counting on you to pass on the family and spread the branches. A good deed requires you to take the lead. You can put your family first. ”
When Tao Jing heard his father say this, he shed a few more sad tears before he said: "Daddy, don't worry, I have my own measure." I just thought that since Jing Wuxian entered the Wendao Academy, he would soon leave Yishan Xing and move elsewhere, so we can't just let him go like no one else. All the big and small matters of the new house, everything should be thought of for him first, and send it to him as soon as possible. ”
Tao Bao nodded and said: "Exactly, we can't lose the friendship of Jing Wuxian with a good deed." Just let your fourth uncle prepare, pick some of the family slaves and send them over, Yingying Yanyan also sent over, daily use such as beds, tables and chairs, etc., you have to pick up the good ones and buy them and send them over. ”
Tao Jing shook his head and said, "Don't be so troublesome. Yingying Yanyan must not be sent over, Jing Wuxian will be a concubine in the future, these two women will be sent over, and the princess of heaven will not overturn the vinegar jar, and when the time comes, it will be self-defeating. Daily use also has to be done at the opportunity, but I am afraid that it will be heavy. I don't know what the Daoist Academy has prepared for him. In my opinion, send 5,000 taels of silver first, and then buy what you need. ”
Tao Bao said bitterly: "Five thousand taels of silver, so much?"
Tao Jing said: "Daddy, we have to look far ahead, the more we give now, the more we will receive in the future." I'm afraid that Jing will not accept it. ”
Tao Bao nodded and said, "That's right, that's it." ”
