Chapter 716: Li Siye on the Sage

Nearly 100 Taoist priests have recently moved to Wuwei City in Liangzhou, all of whom are driving wide-axle pallet cars, which are piled up with all kinds of iron belongings, tied with hemp rope. But the attentive onlookers accidentally found that the trestle was equipped with iron tongs, hammers, molds and other utensils, and it looked like these people did not look like Taoist priests who made alchemy, but like men who struck iron.

Such a large-scale migration of Taoist priests was the first case in Liangzhou, because Hexi was influenced by the Silk Road, the Buddhist culture flourished, and the foundation of Taoism was shallow. Although Emperor Xuanzong blindly worshiped Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, the Taoist priests who had always liked tranquility chose to build a palace between the Changbai Mountains in the Qinling Mountains.

There are only a dozen Taoist disciples in the Qingliang Temple, and compared to the menacing team of migrating Taoist priests, these dozen or so Taoist temples are definitely going to be annexed.

And I heard that this foreign Taoist chief has a lot of access to Liangzhou Mansion, and he himself went directly to the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion as soon as he entered the city.

The disciples under his command went to Qingliangguan violently, one by one they rushed to the gate tower of the Taoist temple like ruffians, and the eldest disciple led by him pointed to the three big characters of Qingliangguan on the lintel and shouted: "Come two people, remove this plaque for me." ”

The Taoist priests in the temple were naturally not willing to be invaded and occupied, and each rushed out of the door with brooms and sticks, confronting the strong enemy from afar: "Who dares to demolish it for me!" If you want to tear down the plaque, step over our corpses! ”

The foreign Taoist priests relied on the large number of people, and the momentum was surging and scolding, and they suppressed the local Taoist priests so much that they couldn't raise their heads. The Taoist master hurriedly sent his eldest disciple out of the back door and ran to Liangzhou City to complain to the government.

But they really didn't expect that the culprit who seized the Taoist Temple would act as a guest in the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion, the most powerful in Liangzhou Mansion, at this moment.

The old Taoist priest Zhao Zhengyi has become more and more energetic recently, his thunder temple is famous in the Anxi area, and the branch view is also opened in Tingzhou City, and recently he personally brought a hundred disciples and began to overturn the Taoist palace in Hexi.

Jiedu made Li Siye sit in front of the screen in the center, picked up the wine cup in his hand and said to Zhao Zhengyi: "What you did when you were in Shule, what did you do in Wuwei City." Qingliangguan is relatively close to the east gate, and there is a rare valley in the east of the city, which is suitable for making some movements. ”

Zhao Zhengyi held the wine cup in both hands and laughed: "But my lord, the cool place is a little smaller, I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many of our belongings." ”

How rich is Li Siye today? It's far from being comparable to what it used to be? Immediately waved his hand and said: "This is not a problem, I will immediately send someone to allocate money to help you expand the cool temple?" You quickly settle your staff. ”

At this time, Liangzhou Sima came out from behind the screen? He bowed his hands beside Li Siye, and then whispered in his ear.

Li Siye nodded quietly? Zhao Daochang was still holding a wine cup and asked: "The name of this Qingliangguan sounds indecent, can you change its name to Thunder Temple?" It's also in our tradition. ”

"There's no rush to change the name." Li Siye's expression gradually became serious: "You are a cronie of so-and-so?" Therefore, when I first came to Liangzhou, I had to restrain myself and my disciples. For the cool view that is about to enter the master, you can have a good talk with the viewer and move it with affection? Reason? Convince people with virtue. It can also be bought with money, or by various means of tenderness. However, it is forbidden to bully others with force, let alone use knives and guns. Got it? ”

The old Taoist priest was shrewd, where could he not hear the meaning of Li Siye's words, and wondered if these bastard apprentices had caused trouble for themselves? He had to hurry over and stop the scene, so that they wouldn't cause too much trouble.

He stood up from the desk and crossed his hands and said, "Doctor? Due to the large number of disciples that were difficult to restrain him, Poor Dao retired first. ”

Li Siye just waved his hand coldly? Zhao Zheng slowly retreated with bated breath, and walked out of the main hall before he breathed a sigh of relief.

The guards of the Governor's Mansion sent the newspaper into Li Siye's study? Tian Zhen and deputy envoy Cheng Qianli also followed? The two of them sat on either side of the study? Hold your head up and hold your breath.

Li Siye used a knife to cut the sealing wax on the newspaper, opened it and browsed it carefully, before handing the newspaper to Cheng Qianli: "You also take a look at the contents of this newspaper." ”

After Cheng Qianli lowered his head and looked at it, he handed it to Tian Zhen, and after Tian Zhen read it, he snapped the newspaper and said sullenly: "Your Majesty is really confused!" An Lushan replaced more than 20 generals of the Han Dynasty, and his intentions have been revealed. At the beginning, he was so wise that he launched a coup d'Γ©tat to kill Wei Hou's party, eradicate Princess Taiping, make good use of Yao Chong, Song Jing, Zhang Shuoyu Wenrong, and create a prosperous era that has not been seen for a thousand years, how did he become so stupid now. ”

Deputy Envoy Cheng sighed, shook his head and said, "Even if the saint is old and tired now, he is no longer willing to work diligently. But has he also lost the ability to tell right from wrong? Ann's dissenting intentions are so obvious, why should they ignore them? ”

Li Siye lifted the pen holder hanging on the pen stand, turned it in his hand as if juggling, and told the two of them: "There is a bird in the desert in the southwest of the Great Eclipse, and when it encounters a strong enemy, it will bury its head in the soil, thinking that the danger of covering the five senses does not exist. The sage may be similar, from the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty to the beginning of Tianbao, he abandoned the chaos of the court and politics into his comfort zone, and began to specialize in music, calligraphy, and dance. This comfort is fourteen years, and it can never be walked out again. He is only willing to accept the stability and prosperity of the world, and does not want to believe that corrupt officials are rampant and the people are suffering from disasters and extreme poverty. So much so that the DPRK and China have not changed their appearance for 16 years, and the border towns have not changed generals for 13 years. Now that the crisis has appeared, An Lushan's roots in Youyan Liaodong are deeply difficult to uproot, how can he not know? ”

He was like a mirror in his heart, and he knew that this kind of malaise was self-inflicted, but he did not want to believe it, nor did he want to drive away the accumulated evils. Because if he does that, he has to step out of his comfort zone, he has to take risks. For an old man over seventy, he is no longer willing to toss, so he can only lie to himself, hoping to exchange his past favor for An Lushan's conscience and his peace in his old age. ”

The pen in his hand fell to the ground with a snap, and the bamboo pole was broken into two, Cheng Qianli and Tian Zhen thought it was a kind of divination, and they were terrified. Seeing Li Siye pick up the pen lightly, the expressions of the two returned to calm.

Li Siye raised his head and sneered: "It's a pity that Yang Guozhong has also served the saint for ten years, and he doesn't know what the emperor is thinking in his heart. He always thought that the emperor was still favoring and believing in An Lushan, so he kept using means to force An Lushan to show his back. How do you know that now the saint is just bent on stabilizing An Lushan. Yang Zhao wanted to force him to rebel quickly. ”

In fact, An Lushan is not willing to take the initiative to step out of his comfort zone
