480 The emperor took turns
With the help of Jiangnan Dao's troops, Li Chun successively pacified the major feudal towns and restored the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty.
But unfortunately, it seems that he is afraid of Taoism and Buddhism, and Mi Xiaoxia suddenly disappeared. Although Xue Bai and the ugly slave were still in the palace, they didn't do anything.
Buddhism took advantage of the weakness and used all methods to bewitch Li Chun. First of all, the prime minister Pei Du was removed and replaced with the traitor Huangfu Gong, which made the government decay day by day. After that, he pursued immortality and took various lead and mercury pills.
Taken by Mi Xiaoxia Yu Wei, although it does not have much impact on the new teaching, it makes the cause of cutting the feudal clan bright and dark. There was an opportunity to completely eradicate the feudal town, but at this time the success fell short.
After that, Li Chun gradually became arrogant, and due to taking too much lead and mercury, his temper became more and more irritable, and he often beheaded the eunuchs around him, as well as other important ministers in the court.
A few years later, one night, Li Chun suddenly died in the palace.
Li Chun died, and Li Heng was extremely the crown prince.
Li Heng's mother, Concubine Guo, is Guo Ziyi's granddaughter, and she is the baby that Mi Xiaoxia saw in Guo Mansion at the beginning. Relying on the power of the Guo family, Concubine Guo has great power in the court and harem.
Although Li Chun once wanted to abolish Li Heng before his death, and there were other opposition forces in the DPRK and China, they failed to form any obstacles. Li Heng succeeded to the throne smoothly and changed the Yuan to Changqing.
"Here we go. ”
In the green hills, Mi Xiaoxia used the Sheji Pagoda to collect Li Heng's imperial merits, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Mi Xiaoxia has not shown up in the past few years, and originally thought that he had lost control of Li Heng. But he didn't expect that with the early arrangement, he still got Li Heng's imperial merits.
But speaking of which, Li Heng's merits are really pitiful. Not to mention that it is compared to Li Chun, even compared with other mediocre emperors, it is also much worse.
There is little merit, but Mi Xiaoxia nodded slightly. This can be shown that, like the history he knows, Li Heng is destined to be a short-lived emperor, and he is greedy for pleasure during his reign and has not made much achievements.
"It's finally coming!"
At this time, Guang Chengzi and the other three lurked beside Li Zhan, and they couldn't help but be full of joy when they saw Li Heng ascending the throne.
Li Zhan is Li Heng's eldest son, as long as there is no accident, Li Heng will be succeeded by Li Zhan. According to Taishang Laojun's previous tips, Li Heng Shouyuan is limited, and it is not far from Li Zhan's accession to the throne at this time.
At that time, Taoism will be able to regain its strength!
"Mi Xiaoxia, new teaching, the good days are finally coming to an end!"
In addition, the three major scholars were also in Chang'an, guarding Li Ang's side, and they also sneered at the corners of their mouths.
Li Ang is the second son, and it is difficult to compete with the eldest son Li Zhan, and they have no intention of competing with Taoism, so they can play the second half with peace of mind. After all, no matter who ascends the throne first, the first one to be abolished is the new religion!
The storm is coming, but there is no big move in the new teaching. It's still just Xue Bai and the ugly slave, and the soldiers are divided into two ways according to Mi Xiaoxia's instructions.
Xue Bai left the palace and came to lie dormant beside Li Yan, quietly waiting for the opportunity. The ugly slave changed his identity and continued to stay in the palace, his identity was still that of a eunuch, and he started his path to power anew.
It stands to reason that Li Heng is still supported by Mi Xiaoxia, as long as he is willing, he can completely control this emperor. But it seems that he is afraid of Taoism and Buddhism, and Mi Xiaoxia has not shown up since then.
Guang Chengzi and the three major scholars also secretly wondered, such a concession really didn't look like Mi Xiaoxia's style. But at this time, there is no point in thinking about anything else, and we will make every effort to arrange and prepare to support Li Zhan and Li Ang to take the position.
In the next few years, the wind and waves were calm, and there was no major movement in the three sects.
At this time, Li Heng, as the emperor, changed his previous timid and cowering appearance, and feasted too much and traveled excessively. Don't pay attention to the affairs of the world, and waste the government.
I don't have any ability, and I don't have the wisdom to know and use people. The appointed prime ministers, Xiao Li and Duan Wenchang, were all visionary, and they even thought that the feudal towns had been pacified, and implemented the policy of eliminating troops.
As a result, the demobilized soldiers had nowhere to go but to hide in the mountains and forests. Not long after, the three towns of Heshuo rebelled again, and the soldiers who were hiding joined one after another.
Seeing that Datang was in danger again, Li Heng still only cared about pleasure. Later, there was an accident during a play, Li Heng was frightened and suffered a stroke, and he couldn't afford to be sick ever since.
Li Heng's body has not recovered since then, and following Li Chun's example, he also began to take lead and mercury pills. But unfortunately, he didn't wait for the poison to attack, and died in the dormitory two years later.
Li Heng was just thirty years old when he died, and he had been the emperor for a total of four years, which was very short-lived in every aspect.
In the second year of Changqing, Li Heng had already made Li Zhan the crown prince. After Li Heng's death, Li Zhan succeeded to the throne naturally, and he also had Taoist support. At this time, Li Zhan was just sixteen years old.
"The state religion of the Tang Dynasty is Taoism, and it teaches how virtuous and how can it enjoy such privileges. From now on, all privileges of the new religion will be abolished!"
After Li Zhan ascended the throne, he immediately issued a holy decree to exempt the new sect from all privileges.
"Hehe, so anxious. ”
At this time, Mi Xiaoxia was still in Qingqiu. When he got the disciple's return, he just smiled at the corner of his mouth and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, this matter has long been expected.
Since there is an anticipation, there is naturally a way to deal with it. Mi Xiaoxia immediately promulgated a new set of doctrines, which basically copied several relatively large sects in his previous life, and then sorted out and revised them.
Although it is plagiarism, the effect is not bad. The fact that these sects were able to develop in previous lives shows that these teachings have their own appeal.
Of course, it is more than a step short of the so-called 'doctrine' before the new teaching. However, after the implementation of the new doctrine, the new religion stabilized the situation, but it was much slower to attract followers, but there was no chaos.
At this time, Mi Xiaoxia still didn't see any action. Everyone couldn't help but wonder, thinking that Mi Xiaoxia was really scared? For a while, whether it was Taoism or Buddhism, they were extremely proud.
Besides, after Li Zhan ascended the throne, after all, he was young and had a lot to learn. Compared with his father Li Heng, this one is even more playful, especially likes to play polo.
Therefore, after Li Zhan ascended the throne, the situation in Datang did not improve in the slightest, but got worse and worse.
As the state religion, the orthodox Taoism of the Tang Dynasty, Guangchengzi and others tried their best to persuade them, but it worked.
Guang Chengzi, as the emperor, couldn't help but sigh, the bear child is too difficult to teach!
originally thought that Li Zhan was just playful, and he would be better when he grew up. But I didn't expect it, so it caused a big disaster.
Li Zhan was unscrupulous, left everything to his own temperament, beat and scolded the palace people at every turn, and even demoted him to the army. As a result, many people secretly hated it. What's more, there is also Buddhism secretly pleading in this.
In the second year of Baoli, the eunuch Liu Keming conspired with Su Zuoming and others to assassinate Li Zhan when he was changing his clothes after a trip!
At this time, Li Zhan was only eighteen years old, and he had only been on the throne for two years, which was shorter than his old son Li Heng.
"This ...... How so!"
The real dragon that was finally supported had no time to arrange a backhand, Li Zhan died, and Guang Chengzi and the others were instantly dumbfounded. It was all too sudden, they really didn't expect it.
Immediately afterward, with the support of Buddhism, Leon successfully ascended the throne. This emperor is only eighteen years old now.
"From now on, Buddhist monasteries do not have to pay taxes, and Buddhist disciples do not have to work......"
After Li Ang succeeded to the throne, he changed the Yuan Taihe, and issued a series of decrees, giving Buddhism great privileges, which is better than the original new teaching!
For a time, Buddhist temples were rapidly built in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and because they could be enclosed at will, some large temples were even larger than the imperial palace!
