Chapter 118 The Age of Grandeur

Yun Chu naturally wouldn't say anything about the world that would be different from now on after the gears of fate were flipped by him.

Powerful people are powerful people everywhere, especially Di Renjie, gentle kind of person, even if he is reduced to a beggar, he must be the overlord of the beggars, not to mention worry-free food and clothing, and he can also be as beautiful as a cloud.

After the spring tour on Longshou Plain ended, Yun Chu knew that the reason why Pei Wanying appeared in Longshou Plain was specially arranged by Wu Mei.

It was specially created for Li Hong and Pei Wanying to meet, and then developed into a good couple of Qin Se and Ming.

Of course, she knew that Li Hong didn't like Pei Wanying, but royal couples never became husband and wife on the premise of loving each other, more often than not, they were partners rather than husband and wife.

Li Hong creatively split himself into two people, Wu Mei, who didn't know what a split personality was, thought it was good, and even thought that her son was very smart.

Yun Chu didn't attach much importance to Li Hong and Naha's affairs, after all, Li Hong had his things to do, and Naha also had her things to do after wearing the crown.

May 8th will be the day when Naha will be bedridden, and before that, Xuanzang and the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty need to equip her with a complete set of teams to manage Buddhism.

From now on, the monks of the Tang Dynasty will accept Naha's management, but in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, she can only manage the monks and bhikshunis, leaving the Tang Dynasty, Naha will be the king of all monks and bhikshunis, and she even has the right to establish a Buddhist base in the various states of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi's purpose was very simple, that is, to let Buddhism carry out basic education as a pioneer in the prefectures, and then the imperial court would quickly follow up and establish prefectures and counties in these prefectures for ultimate assimilation.

Of course, Li Zhi's heart is very small, and it is impossible for the Buddhist family to be alone in nature, so Daomen also has such power.

This is the reason why Daomen did not react to the matter of Naha sitting on the bed in Chang'an.

Sun Shenxian has long been detached from things, and he doesn't care about these mundane things in the Daomen, so in Li Chunfeng, these people are now jumping up and down and preparing to choose a young man who looks like Naha in the Daomen, get the recognition of the royal family, and finally have the same power and status as Naha.

The expansion of the country and the priority of religion are Li Zhi's big chess game around the Tang Dynasty.

Yun Chu thinks that such a plan is actually quite good.

People's cognition always starts with religion, and if they agree with the religion of Datang, they basically identify with the country of Datang.

There are many uncertainties in religion, so Li Zhi is very strict in the control of Buddhism and Taoism in China, and even the control of Buddhism and Taoism has reached the point of suppression, but in Jianzhou, in the area of outward exploration, he has adopted a supportive attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism.

That is to say, they can expand outside the territory, and even bring the domestic monks to form a pioneering group outside the territory, but in the country, Li Zhi will send a year to the Buddhism, the degree of the Taoist sect, and the Taoist will not exceed 1,000 people.

Especially for the little monks, the number of small Taoist priests is very strict, once the little monks are discovered, the number of small Taoist priests is not right, the temple where they are located, the Taoist temple, will usher in a catastrophe.

Li Zhi has been brewing this matter for ten years, especially after the army exterminated the three eastern kingdoms, he began to arrange it, and now, it is about to produce real results.

In this process, the real reason why Naha became the undisputed queen of Buddhism is that Naha is a Hu girl, but what she does is to remove Hu in Buddhism and localize Buddhism.

Similarly, because of the legend of Lao Tzu's letter to Guguan and Hu, because Daomen is the native religion of the Tang people, Li Zhi thought that they could accept the teachings of the Hu people and incorporate the teachings of the Hu people into the Taoist classics.

In this way, Taoism expands outward, Buddhism is introverted, and eventually a balance will be formed at a certain point.

Yun Chu admired Li Zhi's style very much, when he was in the Western Regions, after he finally figured out what Li Zhi did, he slapped the emperor's ass in his letter to Liu Renliang, not insincerely, some of them were really admired.

An emperor should have the emperor's big pattern, big means, and long-term vision, as for whether these practices are good for the Tang Dynasty, it will take a long time to verify.

At least, at this moment, Li Zhihai's open-mindedness and majestic imperial atmosphere have really been shown.

In particular, the localization of Buddhism, the Hu people of Taoism, and the refinement of Confucianism are definitely far-sighted in Yunchu's view.

It is conceivable that in the long years to come, monks and Taoist priests will walk outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they can gnaw fruits in the jungle with the Nanban who have just come down from the trees while shaping the most simple worldview for them.

You can also nibble on the flesh of beasts on the fire with wild people in the desert, tell them about the heavens and the earth, the origin of gods and men, and instill the most basic social outlook in their empty brains.

This is a terrazzo work that takes time, verification, and action.

In the near future, there will be Confucian officials to participate in the management of Naha's Buddha country, and after the Taoist sect in the east has opened up its own Taoist immortal realm, once the believers are numerous and gather into a city, there will also be Confucian officials to govern.

This is the ideal state.

Yun Chu thinks it's worth trying, anyway, today's Datang is so strong that he has no friends, even if the reform is messed up, he can afford to lose.

Of course, the prosperity of the people of Datang is the real first thing, and a poor and impoverished Datang cannot maintain an output state for a long time, nor does it conform to the Datang people's yearning for a better life.

In March of the fifth year of Xianqing, the emperor promulgated a new era name, called Longshuo!

The word "Longshuo" comes from the word "Dragon Desert" in "Emperor Xuan's Narrative", which means the desert land in the north.

Taking advantage of the fact that the second dragon raised its head in February, Yun Chu was willing to think that the word dragon Shuo was the dragon raising its head.

It was the first time that the dragon of Datang raised its head from the Central Plains and began to look at the beginning of this new world again.

Li Zhi's dragon chant was so unpleasant that Yun Chu of the previous dynasty had the urge to cover his ears.

In this beautiful spring, the Turks, who had been subservient to the small, rebelled again.

Originally loyal to the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turk Ashina Buzhen Khan, after eleven years as a khan, his life finally came to an end, when eating mutton, he was pierced by a sharp sheep bone in the stomach pouch, vomiting three liters of blood after death,

Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian were actively preparing to divide the remaining Western Turkic tribes and prepare to demarcate grazing areas for the Western Turks, but as a result, when each tribe went to their respective pastures, a great change suddenly occurred.

The Turkic people who were designated as pastoral areas did not advance according to the areas demarcated by Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, but dispersed separately......

In the process of dispersing, about 20,000 Turkic tribes disappeared, and when Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian found out the whereabouts of these disappeared tribes, they learned that those lost tribes were collected by the Turkic chieftain Ashina Duzhi and Li Shalu, and in order to prevent retaliation from the Tang Dynasty, they were attached to Tubo.

Li Zhi's side only announced the beginning of the first year of Longshuo, and over there, Ashina Duzhi and Li Shamu rebelled and were still attached to Tibet.

This made Li Zhi's face uncertain, so not long after Yun Chu and they started the early dynasty, they heard Li Zhi's dragon chant with a broken voice.

Today's Datang, when there have been no enemies for several years, of course there will be nothing soft about the rebels.

After Li Zhicai finished roaring, a large group of generals came out of the class one after another, holding the wat board and asking Li Zhi to fight.

"Your Majesty, if the old minister is willing, he can send troops to exterminate this fang."

"Your Majesty, please give the old minister 20,000 horses, and within a year, the traitors will be pacified, and the traitors will be returned to Beijing with their heads."

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't need 20,000 horses, please give the old minister 10,000 soldiers and horses, and after joining the Anxi army, you will definitely be able to solve Your Majesty's worries."

"Your Majesty, the minister does not need to lead troops from Chang'an, he only needs to hand over the Anxi army to the command of the old minister, and the old minister will carry his own soldiers day and night, and in August, he can behead those rebellious ministers and thieves."

"Your Majesty should be worried, old man

With an old servant, a boy, and a horse, the minister can persuade Ashina Duzhi and Li Shajiao to surrender, in peacetime, why use a knife or a gun......

Gently slap Yun Chu, who was napping with his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you go and ask for a fight too?"

Yun Chu rolled his eyes and said, "The price has reached the point where a donkey, an old servant, and a boy can quell the Turkic rebellion, what do you think I should say now?"

Said that I don't need to go out of the capital, find a higher place in Chang'an, and let out a fart to destroy Ashina Duzhi and Li Shaji?"

Gently nodded and said, "People nowadays really dare to say anything."

Yun Chu said with a smile: "This is what it looks like when the national power is strong, in the imperial court, they are as timid as rats, and once they are released, they are all man-eating tigers.

In the past few years, there has been no military merit to earn, and finally there is a chance, why don't you rush forward with your life?"

He whispered softly, "You said that Ashinabu really Khan ate mutton all his life, but died of mutton bones, is this credible?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "This is the court of the Tang Dynasty, which is naturally credible, and the good swimmer is drowning, and this is the truth."

smiled gently: "Why do I think it's because Lao Xue and Lao Pei have been the Khan for too long?"

Yun Chu Zhengse said: "If you see through it, you can't say that you are a gentleman."

Gentle and said, "You say, could this be the deliberate work of Lao Xue and Lao Pei to get themselves back to Chang'an, right?

After all, as long as these people and their tribes are killed, there will be few Western Turks left, and when the time comes, they will be able to return with peace of mind."

Yun Chu looked at the chaotic court, pointed to the red-faced veterans who were fighting for the right to send troops, and said, "Those people are really pitiful."

Gently stood on tiptoe and glanced at it, "Ying Gong, Su Gong didn't say anything, I guess I also figured it out."

Yun Chu shook his head and smiled.

When the emperor deliberately cultivated a new generation of military generals, after the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, they were already disqualified from leading the army.

The emperor left four prime ministers behind, along with a large group of veterans, and it seemed that he wanted to invite these people to study the situation in the Western Regions with him.

Yun Chu, gentle, Di Renjie is a minion, naturally not qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting, so he left the court early, standing at the gate of Taiji Palace holding a teapot and drinking tea to watch the sunrise in Chang'an.

As soon as the sun comes out, the sunlight is sprinkled all over Chang'an City, and standing here you can just see how the sunlight spreads all over Chang'an City little by little.
