Chapter 217: Visiting "Wudang Mountain"

Last time, when Zhu Youzhen was about to leave the "Shihua Cave" and go to "Wudang Mountain", his nine "little girl fiancées" merged into "giant girls" again.

'Huh?' Doppelganger'? This...... Impossible, right? How so? Zhu Youzhen and his nine concubines were stunned, although they had seen it, they were still puzzled.

"Giggles, impossible? Everything is possible, because the young ladies are indeed the 'self-incarnating doppelgangers' of this seat. If you don't believe it? That's it. ”

"Uh...... This ......" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but turn around, bowed down to the carpenter who was sitting in the air and refining qi, and bowed: "Dare to ask your father-in-law......

"Hehe, indeed!" The carpenter smiled and said: "Your master's deity is the sacred power of the 'Outer Heavens', and he was reincarnated in my family with a split soul, and became the youngest daughter of the Urging Brother, so he will have the memory of his previous life and teach you many powerful 'cultivation methods', hehe." ”

"Uh...... How so? It's incredible! Zhu Youzhen suddenly said embarrassedly: "In that case, then Master, oh no, concubine, ...... you?" ”

"Giggles, what are you and me? Let's go, go to Wudang Mountain. As soon as the words fell, he nodded to the carpenter and the three sisters, and then happily turned into a ray of light and flew out of the "Stone Flower Cave", hovering steadily in the air, waiting for Zhu Youzhen and his nine concubines to follow.

"Giggles, sisters, come quickly, my sister has been waiting here for a long time, giggles." The "giant girl" urged her brother to shake her body suddenly, and after a dazzling light flashed, she fell apart again into nine budding flower girls, who were stepping into the void, playing and playing, and greeted them one after another.

"Uh...... Little sisters, you are so amazing, I envy you! Zhu Youzhen's nine concubines also staggered over.

Although these nine concubines, like their husbands, the emperor, were also urged to use the method of "Daigo Empowerment" to forcibly infusion from the "Qi Refining Spirit Disciple" to ascend two levels in a row to achieve the "Jindan Zhenren", but the current cultivation realm of the women is only in the "early stage of the True Dan", which is not as good as Zhu Youzhen's "Middle Stage of the True Dan" realm.

However, the Nine Girls and Zhu Youzhen were both surprised that the cultivation realm of the nine young ladies in front of them had actually reached the "late stage of the True Dan", which was amazing!

This made Zhu Youzhen and his concubines feel a lot of psychological pressure, I am afraid that this trip to "Wudang Mountain" will have to be seen by the other party, after all, in the "cultivation realm", it has never been like the secular world to confirm identity and status according to the birth background, but to cultivate the realm and supernatural power!

Of course, with the relationship between the "Ming Dynasty Imperial Family" and "Xuanmen Taoism", Zhu Youzhen believes that he will have to rely on himself to lead the way, after all, he is the emperor.

So, everyone talked and laughed, and flew straight to the south. Thinking that at the beginning, Zhu Di was in power, and there were many opponents in the world, and he needed to be guided.

In order to make an example of a hundred, Zhu Di ordered the killing of more than 10,000 people including Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, who were close friends of Emperor Jianwen, and even exterminated the "Ten Clans" for Fang Xiaoru, who dared to publicly accuse him! But there has always been a tradition in ancient China that the new monarch could not consolidate his power by killing people alone, and Zhu Di had a deep understanding of this.

After superficially suppressing the opposing voices, Zhu Di, as the "victor", "Ming Taizong", must find a way to open the hearts of the people, so that the people of the world can admit the "reasonableness" of his "seizure of power"! The use of the "divine authority of the monarch" endorsement of traditional Chinese culture has become an important choice for Zhu Di's decision-making.

Zhu Di chose the Taoist "Zhenwu Emperor" in Chinese religion. After inheriting the unification, the first thing Zhu Di did to consolidate the throne was to send high-ranking officials to worship the "Zhenwu Emperor", praise and preach that "the new emperor is granted by Xuantian". Then, Zhu You regarded the "Zhenwu Emperor" as the protector of the Ming Dynasty.

The Taoist priests of "Wudang Mountain" were also extremely sensitive, and immediately realized that the opportunity to revive Taoism had come, after all, since the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty presided over the "debate" of "Buddhism and Taoism", the social status of Taoism plummeted, so they actively participated in Zhu Di's activities to create myths.

In addition, after the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by Zhu Yuanzhang, the "tight spell" that was originally put on the head of Taoism suddenly relaxed. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar and a monk when he was young, his sense of identity with Buddhism was no less than that of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, but it did not prevent his descendants from wanting to cultivate immortals and attain immortality and immortality.

Therefore, from 1405 AD, Li Suxi, the "Five Dragons High Road" of Wudang Mountain, paid tribute to the sturdy "Lang Mei" twice. Because "Langmei" is really a "good omen", symbolizing the peace of the country and the abundant harvest of grains, Zhu Di was very happy and gave a very heavy reward, and in the imperial inscription, this "miracle" was proclaimed as a "true martial god" to praise his accession. So, starting from the tenth year of Yongle, Zhu Di, the "Ming Taizong", officially began to overhaul Wudang Mountain.

First of all, from a political and military point of view, the importance of the north to the Chinese regimes in ancient China directly overwhelmed the other three directions, which is very important. This is not only because "Feng Shui" believes that the "imperial qi" lies in "sitting in the north and facing south", but also because Beijing's geographical location is too important.

Because the northern nomads have always been extremely fierce, from the Beidi in the Spring and Autumn Period to the Xiongnu in the Warring States Qin and Han Dynasties, from the Turks in the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Liaojin Mongols in the Song Dynasty, they have always invaded the Central Plains regime, and most of the ancient Chinese regimes are to unify the south with the north, which has almost become a regular phenomenon of the change of dynasties in China.

And the "Zhenwu Emperor" is the "god of the north" among the Taoist gods, commanding the northern gods, and is also the god of war, water and command. Therefore, enshrine the "Emperor Xuan of the North" and use Taoist theology and the theory of divine authority of kingship to deter the people, convince the people, and encourage morale and calm the people's hearts.

At the same time, this is also in line with Zhu Di's status and needs, because Zhu Di originated in the north, so the religious saying of "the true martial god assists Jingnan and blesses King Yan as emperor" can provide sufficient rationality and legitimacy for Zhu Di to launch the "Battle of Jingyan" and enter the unification as a "vassal king" in terms of the cultural tradition of Taoism and Buddhism in ancient China. And Wudang Dao Palace is the general altar of "True Martial God", which is simply tailor-made for him, so he cultivates Wudang in the south to win people's hearts.

Second, it is conducive to resolving contradictions and objections. Due to the construction of the Wudang Mountain Palace, the Yongle Emperor of the "Ming Taizong" mobilized a total of 300,000 soldiers and civilians for dispatch. Among them, there are mainly the former ministers of his nephew "Emperor Jianwen", as well as the soldiers who were collected and surrendered by Zhu Di, the "King of Yan", on the way to the army, which happened to make the best use of things and less trouble.

Exercising centralized supervision over these people, and using Taoist theories to carry out ideological transformation during labor reform, can continuously consume their physical strength, dispel their grievances, and achieve the role of reducing troops and adjusting military affairs, thus saving unnecessary military expenditures.

After the completion of the Taoist temple of "Wudang Mountain", in order to strengthen the management of Wudang Mountain, Zhu Di of "Ming Taizong" also stationed 500 soldiers here for a long time, and selected more than 400 "Taoist masters" from all over the country to Wudang Mountain as the Tao, and awarded the "Zhengliupin Mention Official" to dozens of highly respected "Taoist priests", and offered all Taoist priests in Wudang Mountain as the emperor's "royal clergy". Among them are some charlatans who are specifically responsible for alchemy for the emperor.

In addition, more than 3,000 prisoners were exiled to Wudang Mountain, where they cultivated fields and provided for Taoist priests. Third, the elevation of Tianzhu Peak, the main peak of Wudang Mountain, is 1612 meters, and the surrounding 72 peaks are towering in the sky, and the main peak of Gongwei is like the stars holding the moon, just like "ten thousand mountains come to the court", it is indeed a "treasure land of feng shui", which is refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

"Ming Taizong" Zhu Di built a golden palace at the top of Tianzhu Peak, imitating the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and built the "Forbidden City and Taihe Palace" in Wudang Mountain. In addition, the statue of Emperor Zhenwu imitated the image of Zhu Di to build, which means that Zhu Di sat in Wudang, the Ming Dynasty ruled the world, and the country was stable.

Fourth, pursue double cultivation of life and prolong life. Emperor Yongle of the "Ming Taizong" inherited the Chinese tradition of Confucianism and Taoism, and greatly admired the "real person" Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain, who paid equal attention to Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation, and strengthened the body and lived a long life. When Zhu Di was trying his best to consolidate his rule, like all emperors, he had a personal dream of pursuing longevity in the depths of his mind.

Emperor Yongle personally wrote the "Three Books of Respect" to the "real person" Zhang Sanfeng, praising him for being natural and unpredictable. And Zhang Sanfeng also wrote "Answer to the Yongle Emperor's Poem", saying that "abstinence clears the heart and lightens the mind", which means that quiet and inaction is the true meaning, showing the wisdom of people outside the party to pursue meditation and cultivation.

Since the "Yongle Dynasty", "Wudang Mountain" has become the "holy mountain" for Taoist priests all over the country to worship regularly, and it is the center of Taoist activities and exchanges in the Ming and Qing dynasties and even in later generations. At this point, the political status of "Wudang Mountain" has reached the supreme point, but unexpectedly, today it is just ushering in "uninvited guests".
