A dynasty must be religious.

During the Kaihuang period, Yang Jian and his wife, including their children, although they were all faithful believers in Buddhism, never officially established Buddhism as the state religion, because it was easy to offend other religions, which was not good for the newly established Great Sui.

Historically, Li Tang established Taoism as the state religion because most of the Li family's matriarchal lines were Xianbei nobles, and the Han people were inherited by blood through the paternal line, and Xianbei was based on the maternal line.

So if they want to gain a firm foothold like this, they need a justifiable reason, plus Taoism made meritorious contributions in the early days of Li Yuan's founding of the People's Republic of China, and Daozu happened to be surnamed Li.

Therefore, Li Yuan simply recognized the Taoist ancestor Li Er as his ancestor, which means that our family is an orthodox Han Chinese.

Yang Jian's situation is a little better, his parents are both Han, his daughter-in-law Dugu Jialuo's biological mother is the orthodox Han gate lord Qinghe Cui's family, Li Yuan is not good, his daughter-in-law Dou's Xianbei clan, his father and mother are also Xianbei clan, Li Yuan's mother is still Xianbei clan.

Of course, in addition to this, there is a bigger reason, that is, to determine the supremacy of imperial power, the essence of which is in that "Tao Te Ching".

The four words of the inner sage and the outer king were first seen in the Taoist "Zhuangzi Tianxia Chapter", but the "Tao Te Ching" is a real doctrine of the inner sage and the outer king.

It is the way of the inner and outer kings, dark and unknown, depressed but not hairy, and the people of the world do what they want, and take themselves as their own side. It means that the virtue of the saint is prepared inside, and the government of the king is given to the outside, and the vernacular is that the current emperor is a saint.

This is why, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty in history were called saints by the ministers.

Yang Jian is the supreme, Yang Guang is His Majesty, and they are not saints, and the word saint obviously represents perfection, representing a person who knows and does everything and is good, and the common people will feel that our emperor is the best, which is greatly beneficial to the concentration of imperial power.

In addition, Taoism advocates mildness, modesty, quietness, and weakness, opposes violence, advocates goodness like water, natural inaction, and Taoism is natural, opposes disorderly acts, brutal intervention, advocates frugality, opposes extravagance, advocates modesty, forbearance, non-contention, low-key, and tolerance, and opposes ostentatiousness, publicity, and high-profile.

This is very good for governing the country.

Yang Ming is very inclined to Taoism in his heart, but in the current situation, Buddhism is too loud, and it is not appropriate to establish Taoism as the state religion.

Taoism emphasizes self-cultivation, that is, being a human being, the role of Confucianism is to teach and educate people, and the role of society is to persuade people to be good.

Therefore, the path that Yang Ming is going to take now is in line with Wang Tong's academic proposition, from domineering to kingly, and the three religions are one.

Wang Tong in history died in the war period of the Great Chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but in this life, he has been staying in Beijing well, so he should have hung up last year, and now he is still alive and well.

Yang Ming was afraid that he would die suddenly, so he pushed him to the position of the Guozi Supervisor Sacrificial Wine, which is also called Guozi Temple, one of the eleven temples.

Then in previous years, the imperial court would select some studious people who participated in the scientific examination, and they would go to various places in the future to serve as the principal of the local government school.

If you want to spread knowledge, you must first have teachers, and the knowledge disseminated by these teachers must be unified, how to unify? By the imperial court.

"The province of Menxia set up the Hongwen Museum, summoned the world's celebrities to enter the museum, corrected the books, and taught the students," Yang Ming said at the court meeting: "The owner of the museum is tentatively designated as the crown prince Xian Ma Liu Xuan, the consul general affairs, 36 bachelors, the senate court system and etiquette revision, what suitable candidates are in everyone's minds, you can recommend them." ”

This department, which is equivalent to the highest academic institution in the Great Sui, will have a very large voice in the court.

So everyone began to recommend and recommend their own people.

There is no way, so far, the educated are still concentrated in the gate valve family, among which Hebei is the most.

Of the thirty-six bachelors, there are nine people from the East Palace, Li Gang, Li Baiyao, Wang Qi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Xue Shui, Yao Silian, Li Xuandao, and Ouyang Xun.

Yang Ming is tantamount to using a new department to bring the people of the East Palace into the court to participate in state affairs.

The rest of the candidates have to be taken slowly, and it is impossible to be selected within a few days, but Su Wei's son Su Kui has come in, and this person's knowledge is absolutely awesome.

There is also Wei Zheng from Menxia Province, no one likes him, but this kid is Wang Tong's protégé, and his academic philosophy is in line with Yang Ming's requirements.

Of course, there is also the prodigy Xu Jingzong who took care of his father in Beijing.

Pei Ju was very happy in his heart, because he knew that he had guessed correctly, Yang Ming's future political direction was Wang Tong's, and in this way, Yang Jin, who was Wang Tong's disciple, had a great advantage.

Because the successor monarch was originally the continuator of the current king's political philosophy, Yang Rui still followed the Confucian path of Xue Daoheng, which is not suitable for the current situation.

Sun Simiao, who is hiding in Wangwu Mountain for alchemy, does not need Yang Ming to urge, but has Yang Lihua to urge.

People did practice some gold pills, black and gold were mixed, and at first glance, they didn't meet Yang Lihua's requirements, so Yang Lihua didn't eat it.

Good thing you didn't eat.

Yang Ming is also more depressed, this thing is used to send his father back to the West, but if Yang Lihua is piggybacked, he is not happy.

But Yang Lihua is particularly obsessed with this, because in the eyes of women, Jindan not only prolongs life, but also keeps her face forever.

Slowly, more and more people know what Sun Simiao is doing, and there is an endless stream of people asking for immortal medicine, and the reason why Taoism occupies a pivotal position in history is that people can cultivate immortals, which satisfies people's desire for immortality.

Here in the East Palace, Yang Yinjiang has also been paying attention to Sun Simiao's movements, she is about to become the queen, she doesn't want her body to have problems.

"I'll make it clear to you in advance, don't touch that thing," Yang Ming said sharply in the dormitory.

The reason why he is so serious is because he had persuaded Yang Yinjiang before and asked her not to abuse drugs, but Yang Yinjiang agreed on the surface, but she was still secretly eating behind her back.

It is very, very difficult and almost impossible to change another person.

Yang Ming knew that taking medicine was not good, but Yang Yinjiang didn't know.

"Then what did you let him do alchemy? Aren't you keeping it for yourself? Yang Yinjiang's small expression was a little dissatisfied.

Yang Ming sighed and told her honestly, because Yang Ming knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Yang Yinjiang would definitely secretly ask Sun Simiao for medicine.

"Can't Jindan prolong life?" Yang Yinjiang said in surprise.

Yang Ming said: "Have you ever seen a person in history who has really become an immortal?" ”

"Yes," Yang Yinjiang muttered about some Taoist celebrities who had disappeared in history.

This is very, missing is missing, and it has to be passed on to become an immortal, deceiving generations of people.

Yang Ming said speechlessly: "If you are not afraid of eating you, you can eat it, and I will pass Yang Rui to others when the time comes." ”

This is equivalent to hitting Yang Yinjiang's weakness, and I saw that she was dissatisfied: "If you don't eat, you won't eat, do you need to scare people like this?" ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to change it," Yang Ming said angrily: "There are also those tons of tonics, all of them were thrown away for me, what kind of medicine do people take every day?" Have you ever seen someone eat Ayun? ”

I was afraid of dying in front of Ah Yun, so I took the medicine, Yang Yinjiang said: "Ah Yun doesn't know how to take care of his body. ”

"It's that you don't understand!" Yang Ming was really angry this time, you can really quibble: "Throw it to me now." ”

Yang Su and Yang Yue did not live to be old, but Pei Ju was long-lived, and Pei Xuanji in history successively held important positions in the Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Zhi periods, and also gave Li Hong the prince's left concubine, and he was obviously also a long-lived person.

It shows that the living and eating habits of other people's families are suitable for longevity.

You can live to 60, but you can't live to 80.

Yang Yinjiang knew that her husband was really angry this time, so she hurriedly ordered the maid to throw all the tonics out, and then kept softening in front of Yang Ming.

"Yinghui's wedding date is coming, you go to the palace to have a good job during this time," Yang Ming said: "I will decide his subordinate officials, and send a group of young children from the clan to be his guards." ”

Yang Yinjiang hurriedly nodded.

Yang Rui is about to get married, this kid has been looking forward to this day many years ago, and the Wei family naturally doesn't dare to slack off, the bigwigs in the Jingshi clan have all arrived, and they are busy with Wei Jue's marriage.

This is an out-and-out marriage, after all, everyone knows that it won't take long for Yang Rui to be the prince.

And Yang Ming himself was not idle, he took a new concubine, and the eldest grandson was innocent.

I don't know why, when Yang Ming and his eldest grandson sat face to face, it was difficult to have that kind of idea between men and women, and they didn't have the idea of touching their hands.

Maybe it's because the other party is too famous in history.

However, she is also a short-lived queen.

Li Shimin is a drug addict, and he can't say that his eldest grandson also took drugs with him, and he passed away at the age of thirty-six, which is too fast.

However, according to historical records, Empress Changsun suffered from qi disease, lung disease, which is likely to be a genetic disease, otherwise none of his children lived long, and the four daughters died very early, and the three sons lived to be in their fifties.

Fifty years old is not called longevity.

Li Shimin's family, there is a genetic disease such as wind disease, wind disease and qi disease collide together, and the life expectancy of the offspring is worrying, but fortunately, Wu Zetian improved them in the middle of the middle.

"Listen to Wuji, it's not good for you to beat your small body?" Yang Ming frowned.

The eldest grandson nodded: "Occasional illness, but it doesn't affect it." ”

Yang Mingen sighed and didn't say anything more.

This is the fifth time they have been alone in the room, but the eldest grandson is still a complete one, and it will be the same tonight, Yang Ming waved his hand and let her go down.

Then came the warm winter and the cool summer, and the two served Yang Ming for half their lives.

Yang Ming always hoped that the two would get married, but they refused, saying that they wanted to serve Yang Ming for the rest of their lives.

Alas. can't help it, so Yang Ming asked for the two of them tonight, and he will give them a name in the future, after all, they are intimate and intimate old people, Yang Ming is reluctant to wronged them.
