Chapter 707: He is the most eye-catching in the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts; The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant

During the period of time after Li Shimin survived the death of the Son of Heaven and returned to Chang'an, the major forces that were not close to the Tang Dynasty before were also in a state of self-endangerment.

Not to mention the monsters and wild gods in the mountains who bear the brunt of the brunt.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty did not recognize all the incense gods of the previous dynasties, and those who sacrificed for the country in their time and deserved the respect and memory of future generations, Li Shimin certainly would not have cut off their incense.

Even Li Shimin has built two temples in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

The Temple of Literature is the original Confucius Temple, and Li Shimin posthumously called Confucius "King of Wenxuan", so the Temple of Literature is also called the Temple of King Wenxuan; The Wu Temple is rebuilt from the "Taigong Temple", and Li Shimin also made a posthumous tribute to the Taigong Jiang Ziya, called "Wucheng Wang", and this Wu Temple is also known as the Wucheng Wang Temple.

Among the two temples of civil and military, of course, it is not only the Confucian saint Confucius and the Taigong Jiang Ziya that are enshrined.

Among them, of course, there will be a match, in the Temple of Literature with Confucius as the first saint, only Yan Yuan as the first teacher to enjoy, and then choose Zuo Qiu Ming below the twenty-two Confucianism from the temple court, and then after the court collegiate, coupled with the opinions given by Zeng Zi himself, the norms of the Confucian Temple were established, and the worshippers increased to ten philosophers, seventy-two sons, and twenty-one sages. As for the increase and decrease of personnel in the future, plans have also been made in advance.

Among them, the seventy-two sages under the Confucian Holy Sect are among them. In addition to the seventy-two sages under the Confucian Sect, there are also the ancestors of the past dynasties, such as Ram Gao, Dong Zhongshu, Xu Shen, Zheng Kangcheng, Zhuge Kongming and so on.

In addition to these Confucian disciples, there is also a hundred family halls in the Temple of Literature, just this hundred family halls, said to be a hundred family halls, in fact, it is not complete, after all, the composition of the hundred schools is too mixed, and now the hundred schools have gradually died out since Dong Zhongshu, even if the Legalists and soldiers who are still active in the court, they are not pure, and they are more or less influenced by Confucianism.

Moreover, the Temple of Literature was rebuilt from the Temple of Confucius. He is not necessarily willing to grab incense with Confucian disciples in the Temple of Literature.

Compared with the Temple of Literature, the construction of the Wu Temple is much simpler.

In addition to Ding Jiang Taigong as the leader, Li Shimin personally ordered the ten philosophers of Wumiao, namely Zhang Liang, Bai Qi, Tian Sui Tho, Han Xin, Sun Wu, Zhuge Liang, Wu Qi, Wu Qi, Guan Zhong, Le Yi, and Wei Qing.

As for Li Jing and Li Tao, who should have been on the list, because of the recovery of Datang's luck, the bodies of these two veterans still have certain signs of anti-spring, although both of them are cultivating in the mansion and do not show up when they are idle, but since they are not dead, of course they can't be on the list.

In addition to the ten philosophers of the martial temple, Li Shimin also pointed out sixty-four famous generals from all dynasties, who were also worthy of sitting on the side of the prince in the martial temple. Such as Sun Bin, Li Mu, Lian Po, Meng Tian, Wang Qian, Huo Quzhi, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and so on.

Li Shimin himself is a figure who is both civil and military, and he is still the first emperor of the ages who went on the horse to conquer the world and ruled the world on the horse. Of course, I know that the two ways of civil and military are actually of the same importance, and both sides are indispensable.

And now, Li Shimin has a new understanding of the relationship between civil and military.

That is force, which is to allow the major forces of the Three Realms to be able to communicate with the Tang Dynasty calmly; Wendao, on the other hand, is to allow himself to communicate calmly with all parts of the Three Realms.

The establishment of the two temples shows Li Shimin's attitude.

And in addition to the cultural and Taoist imperial examinations, Li Shimin also held martial arts, which can be said to have made up his mind to recruit talents from all over the world, and he didn't want to let go of any of them. However, Li Shimin does have the ability to control them, there is no doubt about this.

The civil and military generals of the past dynasties who have been recognized by Li Shimin, or the people of the Tang Dynasty, will enter the two temples of the civil and military and accept the incense offerings of the entire Tang Dynasty. Even Guan Yu, who had already become a god in the sky, felt the majestic power that suddenly gathered in his body.

It's just that the sages and Confucians in the Temple of Literature may be able to reshape the body of the incense gods through the power of these incense. But for some generals, this is not the case.

Especially those generals who have died outside the chaos are unlikely to respond.

Such as Le Yi and Tian Dan.

In fact, among the two temples of civil and military, there is one that attracts the most attention - that is the prime minister of Shu Han, Zhuge Kongming.

He is also the only person who can be worshiped by both the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts, and everyone has no objections.

However, Zhuge Liang's incense god body was not born in the Temple of Literature or the Temple of Martial Arts. Because he has always had his own "Wuhou Temple", the emperors of all dynasties will repair the Wuhou Temple, and many literati and writers will also spontaneously go to the Wuhou Temple to pay respects and pay respects, so as to send the greatest respect to Prime Minister Zhuge .

It's just that Zhuge Liang's incense body can only stay in the Wuhou Temple, and he can't leave the temple without permission.

Now it's different, his incense body can appear in any Temple of Literature or Martial Temple through the power of incense offerings.

"Prime Minister, it's been a long time."

In the martial temple, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Zhuge Liang's side together and bowed to the prime minister.

Although Guan Yu is also an incense deity, he is not the same as ordinary incense deities, and the complexity of his godhead is incredible

It seems that in all walks of life in the world, there is a phenomenon of worshipping Guan Yu.

That is, in terms of marriage and seeking children, Guan Yu did not develop this kind of business, otherwise it would be too crazy.

Even to a certain extent, it's like "When you don't know which way to worship the gods, you can worship the Bodhisattva, yes." The same sentence is applied to Guan Yu, and it is also applicable, especially in the army, chambers of commerce, green forests, and the major gangs in the mortal world, which is the most vigorous of Guan Yu's incense.

There are even times when even Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, shouts outrageously and is known as the God of Wealth. In this regard, I will feel the pressure from Guan Yu.

For this reason, the Jade Emperor even specially let the "Guan Sheng Emperor" be named the God of Wealth in the Ministry of Finance.

In addition, the two Taoist and Buddhist families also made an edict on Guan Yu, known as "Guan Sheng Emperor" in Taoism, and respected him as "Jialan Bodhisattva" in Buddhism.

It can be said that Guan Yu is not only the god of martial arts, but also the god of wealth, Si Minglu, you are the god of science, curing diseases and eliminating disasters, driving away evil and avoiding evil, punishing rebellion, inspecting the underworld, etc.

Guan Yu is also the highest example of the god of incense, throughout the ages, I am afraid that no one can match it.

And when he saw Guan Yu in the martial temple, he directly frightened a military general who had just given birth to the body of the god of incense and fire, and almost collapsed. This person is not a bystander, it is the one who crossed the river in white and attacked Lu Meng in Jingzhou that year.

If it weren't for Zhou Yu and Lu Xun on the side to make a move together, I'm afraid that at this moment, it would have dissipated.

And looking at the two colleagues who helped him stabilize his body, Xianghuo Lu Meng also wanted to cry without tears, and said in his heart: You might as well let me die.

Because Zhou Yu died early, he didn't know what happened back then, although Lu Xun knew it, of course, he had his own considerations. After all, it was he Lu Xun who burned the company camp for 700 miles, so that Uncle Liu Huang, who avenged Guan Yu back then, was almost wiped out. At this time, I am afraid that the only one who can stand in front of him is this Wuxia Ameng who dared to cut off Guan Yu's head back then.

If you want to make a name for yourself, there is nothing wrong with such an idea. But not everything can be done.

If it weren't for Lu Xun's order to turn the tide and defeat Liu Bei in Yiling. What kind of situation is the state of Wu State, it is really hard to say.

But it is precisely like this, in the battle of Yiling, Shu Han returned defeated, and the elite people who had accumulated over the years of recuperation could be described as a great injury when they were exhausted. The reason why Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was blocked again and again is also due to this reason.

It's all slowly interlocking, a cycle of cause and effect.

At that time, Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, Lu Xun himself did not agree, disguised the people, and attacked Jingzhou. It was not done by the eldest husband, and it was just taking advantage of Guan Yu's absence in Jingzhou to carry out this vicious plan, after setting a precedent. When the two armies are fighting, it is the biggest blow to the people.

Crossing the river in white clothes means that Lu Meng asked the soldiers to dress up as ordinary people, and the warships to dress up as merchant ships. thus deceived the sentry posts in Jingzhou and successfully attacked Jingzhou.

From then on, because the army could not distinguish the truth of the people, it was inevitable that they would take some drastic actions and adopt some extraordinary measures to ensure their own safety.

Of course, the main reason is that Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes to take Jingzhou, and after capturing Guan Yu in Maicheng and killing Guan Yu, he did nothing.

If he can take down Shu Han in one go, maybe it will be a different situation.

However, after Lu Meng brought Guan Yu's head back to Jianye, it didn't take long for him to die.

Soochow said to the outside world that Lü Meng died of illness.

But what the truth is, I'm afraid only Lu Meng and Sun Quan know.

Lu Xun knew very well that after Lu Meng came back, he presented Guan Yu's head to Sun Quan, Sun Quan was overjoyed on the surface, but deep down, he was already very panicked.

Everyone in the Three Kingdoms knows that the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang have a deep love for righteousness, even if Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes and attacked Jingzhou, even if Guan Yu was captured alive in Maicheng and brought back to Jianye, there is still room for a turn in this matter.

Even Boss Cao didn't expect that Lu Meng could do such a thing.

And Liu Bei and Sun Quan, when they learned that Guan Yu was defeated, Liu Bei was ready to bleed heavily and wanted to redeem Guan Yu at all costs, even Zhuge Liang knew this, and was already planning for Liu Bei; Of course, Sun Quan also knew that he wanted to make good use of Guan Yu and be willing to take a piece of meat from Uncle Liu Huang's hands.

But Lu Meng cut off Guan Yu's head with a knife. not only completely ignited Uncle Liu's anger, but also caught Sun Quan off guard.

Because of this knife, except for bringing Guan Yu's head and Liu Bei's revenge, it is impossible for Dongwu to gain any more benefits. Even to see the catastrophe coming.

Therefore, on the surface, Sun Quan said that Lu Meng had made great contributions, and appointed him as the Taishou of Nanjun, the Marquis of Xiaoling, and gave him 100 million yuan and 500 catties of gold. But before the knighthood was promulgated, Lü Meng fell ill, and then Lü Meng was placed in his inner hall by Sun Quan, arranged for the imperial doctor to treat him, and also invited a Taoist priest to pray for Lü Meng.

But the end result is." Lü Meng died violently".

Seeing Lu Meng here now, Lu Xun actually wanted to ask him how he died back then, but at this moment, seeing that Lu Meng was so shocked when he saw Guan Yu, Lu Xun felt that the rumors back then were probably not false.

Although Sun Quan said that Lü Meng died of illness, there are two other folk theories, one is that Lü Meng was killed by Sun Quan, and Sun Quan wanted to use it in exchange for Uncle Liu Huang to calm his anger, but Lu Xun thought it was unlikely. Although Sun Quan was suspicious of his subordinates, he knew that Liu Bei would send troops to attack Wu, so he had to kill Lü Meng first. That's obviously a self-shutting off of an arm.

Sun Quan, as the king of Wu, would not do such a thing.

Then there is another rumor, which has to be cared about. It is rumored that it was Guan Yu's soul that followed him all the way to Eastern Wu, and the reason why Sun Quan placed Lü Meng in his inner hall was precisely because he wanted his Ziwei qi as an emperor to resist Guan Yu's soul. It's just that the world is divided into three points, and Dongwu at that time was the weakest party, and the crape myrtle qi on Sun Quan's body did not resist for too long. In the end, Guan Yu's soul found a gap and killed Lu Meng and Sun Quan's inner hall.

If it is said in the past, Lu Xun will of course scoff at this rumor. But now, he is in the martial arts temple, giving birth to the body of the incense god, and Guan Yu still has such a Ling Ran momentum, it is really impossible to say.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Sun Quan did not dare to leave Guan Yu's head in Eastern Wu, but quickly sent it to Cao Wei.

And Prime Minister Cao Cheng, when he saw Guan Yu's head, was also heartbroken. After all, Cao Cheng's appreciation of Guan Yunchang is also something known to the Three Kingdoms. It's a pity that Luohua is ruthless and ruthless, and Yun Chang is dedicated to his eldest brother Liu Bei, so he can only live up to Prime Minister Cao's good intentions.

In this regard, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has said more than once that if he met Yun Chang first, how would he be-

And Prime Minister Cao Cheng didn't believe that Yun Chang didn't have himself at all in his heart, otherwise when he was in Huarong Dao, he could have captured himself or killed himself. But he let himself go.

Perhaps it was also because Yun Chang died in battle, and it didn't take long for Prime Minister Cao Cheng to die of illness.

But no matter what, Lu Meng's death obviously did not calm Liu Bei's anger.

After Cao Cao died of illness and his son Cao Pi ascended the throne and became emperor, Liu Bei also ascended the throne as emperor with the country name "Han" and the year name "Zhang Wu".

In July of the first year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei sent troops to attack Eastern Wu in the name of avenging Guan Yu, during which Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates. It deepened Liu Bei's anger.

Sun Quan also sent a messenger to ask for peace, but Liu Bei was furious and refused to allow it. In the end, the two sides met each other. (End of chapter)
