Chapter 439: The State of Finalization

Chang'an is very peaceful!

In early December, Chengming Palace issued a policy order, no longer restricting the Buddhist children. However, the prerequisite is that you must have a certificate issued by the court’s special agency Chengen Buddha Temple. The so-called Chengen Buddha Temple is built on the basis of the Great Buddha Temple, formed according to the layout of the White Horse Temple, and set up special officials to distribute certificates after the assessment. If you spread the Dharma without the certificate, you will be punished as a rebellious person.

The so-called kindness, the kindness of heaven, the kindness of the emperor, and the kindness of Dong Qi.

Some county students who were not proficient in academic studies but were quite energetic were ordered to take charge of officials of Chengen Buddha Temple. If monks of all sizes wanted to obtain a certificate, they had to go through the permission of these people. But these students were all under Dong Qi's command.

The monk in Chengen Buddhist Temple can be entitled to a salary of 400 stones.

For many people who have no hope of going to school but are unwilling to work as minor officials in the area, Cheng'en Buddhist Temple is also a good choice. Of course, the children of aristocratic families are very disdainful of such positions. Therefore, the monks in this Buddhist temple are mostly poor scholars.

For this reason, Liu Bian was very happy and even praised Dong Chi at the court meeting.

Although Buddhists have been restricted in preaching, they have obtained a channel after all. As for whether they can succeed, it depends on their own abilities.

In mid-December, the place separated by three arches of Cheng'en Buddha Temple, many Chang'an households raised funds to build moral concepts. Zhang Lu, the former prefect of Hanzhong, came forward to preside over the leadership, summoned the moral people of the world to establish Taoism. He also invited two famous charlatans... Oh, not charlatans, but Zuo Ciyuji, the gods among the immortals, as the guardian. And these two people came forward to invite a charlatan named Ge Xuan.

Ge Xuan, 38 years old, was from Langya, Xuzhou. Later, he moved to Jurong County, Danyang, Yangzhou. His name was Xiaoxian.

This man was born in a family of officials. Emperor Gaozu Ge Lu was once the general of the Han cavalry and the Marquis of Xia Pi. His ancestor Ge Ju was the minister of the Huangmen of the Han Dynasty. His father, Ge Deru, served as the Grand Master of the Great Honglu and became the Minister of Shangshu. He respected the ways of Huang-Lao for several generations and had profound research on the "Tao Te Ching".

Since Dong Qi invented the punctuation marks, Ge Xuan, who was only the weak at that time, was the first to accept it and annotated the article "The Annotation of the Dao Te Ching out of context", which was praised by fellow Taoists in the world for studying the "Tao Te Ching". Ge Xuan's research on the Tao Te Ching is definitely hundreds of times deeper than Dong Qi.

Ge Xuan, who wrote "The Commentary on the Outline of the Tao Te Ching", was already famous in the Jiang Zuo period.

At that time, he was practicing in Chicheng Mountain in Tiantai, and met Zuo Ci, and followed Zuo Ci to practice the "Seven Changes of White Tigers", "Taiqing Nine Cauldrons and Golden Liquid Pill Sutra" and "Three Members True and One Wonderful Sutra".

In the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang.

Ge Xuan was successful in practicing Taoism. He said goodbye to Zuo Ci Yuji, traveled through mountains and rivers, and sought local heavenly scriptures from Kuocang Mountain, Nanyue, and Luofu Mountains, and learned many wonderful methods from this. He sat with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong for more than ten days, and Zhang Lu was sweating profusely and then left.

According to Zuo Ci's words, Ge Xuan has illusions and is proficient in classics.

Zhang Lu also praised this, so when Zuo Ci invited Ge Xuan, Zhang Lu was particularly happy and happily invited him to sit down.

Unlike Buddhism, Taoism was born and raised here. In addition, the Han Dynasty often respected Huang-Lao's Taoism and liked the affairs of gods and immortals, so many people accepted it. After Ge Xuan arrived in Chang'an, he asked to set up a Taoist temple in Wangwu Mountain. Dong Qi had no objection to this.

Therefore, there are two additional schools in Chang'an City.

One is moral concept, the other is Chengen Buddhist Temple... It is difficult to distinguish which one is better, but it has indeed attracted the attention of many people.

Dong Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

*******

Seeing that the New Year is coming, the affairs of Chengming Palace are becoming more and more busy.

On this day, Dong Qi found Dong Ji early in the morning, put a black package in Dong Ji's hands, and sent out a hundred martial artists.

"Give this package to the military advisor!"

Dong Ji looked at the package in his hand and asked in confusion: "Father, is that all that?"

Nodding gently, Dong Qi said: "Leave the package to the military advisor, tell him, let him handle it himself, and solve it... He will understand what I mean."

"Here!"

Dong Qi seemed to have removed a stone in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

"You go now... By the way, is Kojima going to leave?"

Dong Ji is now playing in Duyou Fort, but unlike Fa Zheng, he can go back to Chang'an at any time. After Dong Qi's inquiry, Dong Ji nodded, "Chengming Palace has issued an order to appoint Brother Fa Zheng as the prefect of the county. In the past two days, he is handing over with his child."

"Very good...it must be very busy."

Dong Ji said: "It's a bit busy, but Brother Fa Zheng has already explained the important things, and the rest are some trivial matters."

Dong Qi rubbed Dong Ji's hair, "There is no trivial matter in the inspector's office... Don't take Liu Jin lightly... Also, is Gong Sun's affairs a little bit?"

Dong Ji said: "The child has already checked. The palace grandson is indeed from Yangzhou, but I found that the person he often wrote letters was Jiangxia. The child had asked Wang Mai's elder brother to send someone to Jiangxia to investigate. I guess there will be news after the New Year. However... he didn't seem to have any malice and was just an academic friend with his sister... When the father and the child found an interesting thing when he checked the palace grandson's origin."

"What's up?"

"I have a third-year student in Chang'an County. There is a man named Ying Shi. When I first heard about it, the child thought that Ying Shi might be a descendant of Ying Qin, but later he found out... Daddy, guess what is his origin?"

Dong Qi smiled silently, "Where should I guess? Tell me quickly... I still have to go to court."

Dong Ji's face turned solemn and said softly: "This person's surname is Xun, and he comes from Yingchuan. His real name should be Xun Shi, and he is the second son of Xuchang Xun You."

Dong Qi couldn't help but take a breath.

Dong Ji continued: "Not only Ying Shi, but also found several people who were similar to Ying Shi. One of them was Hou Ba, who was only fifteen years old and is now a second-year-old county school student. He has both good character and academic performance, has outstanding achievements in military affairs and government affairs, and is also not bad at martial arts."

Dong Qi couldn't help but become interested, "Who is this Hou Ba?"

"Hehe, it will definitely scare my father when he says it. Hou Ba's real name is Xiahou Ba, a native of Qiao County, Pei State. He is the son of Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Western Expedition."

"ah?"

Dong Qi was really surprised when he was this time!

It would be fine if Xun You's son joined the county school, Xiahou Yuan's son...

When they joined Chang'an County School, it was the end of the Battle of Danhan Mountain and the county school was just emerging. Dong Qi was not in Chang'an at that time. Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect that both sides fought happily, but the descendants of the other party were studying on their own?

This matter sounds very ridiculous.

But when you think about it carefully, this seems to be in line with the usual style of the aristocratic families: not putting all the eggs in one basket.

This shows one thing: Dong Qi had already gained recognition from the aristocratic clans three years ago since the Battle of Danhanshan. Of course, for example, Xun You and Xiahou Yuan were very important officials of Cao Cao, so he naturally would not have any treason. But this does not mean that the family behind them would allow them to act recklessly regardless of the consequences. At this level, the Kanto clans must also consider a way out.

Dong Chu asked, "What do you say about the military advisor?"

Dong Ji answered calmly: "The military advisor said, let them play, this is a good thing!"

"Since that's the case, don't make a statement. But you should pay more attention to these people and pay attention to their every move. In addition, check the origin of Gong Sun for me... Damn, your sister, now I don't know how many wolf there are, all looking at it with red eyes."

Dong Ji smiled and bowed to his order.

This is the last day of the second year of Taiping, which is what later generations call the thirtyth day of the twelfth lunar month.

After today, we will enter Taiping for three years. In the blink of an eye, Liu Bian ascended the throne for almost three years, and time is so fast.

All the civil and military officials gathered together.

Dong Qi felt very relaxed and knelt in the court, waiting for Liu Bian to go to court.

Now, he is not only the Grand Governor of the Three Armies, but also holds the titles of Guangluxun and Sikong, and no one can compete with him.

At the age of thirty-three, he is already the most powerful minister.

This is a very rare thing in the court...

Dong Qi had nothing to do, and in fact there was no way to do anything. Because most of the government affairs were controlled by Chengming Palace, and all matters of big and small were solved before going to court. The court meeting was actually a form, and everyone knew it well.

He put his hands in his big sleeves, and although he was kneeling, he still stood out.

No wonder, looking at the entire court, I am afraid there is no one else who can be as terrible as Dong Qi.

Liu Bin has also been very happy in the past two months.

No matter what, it is a good thing that Buddhism can establish itself in Middle Earth.

The Central Constable Yang Qian stood above Danbao and shouted loudly in a sharp voice: "I have a good time to report, and I will leave the court without any trouble!"

Before he finished speaking, a man in his early thirties walked out of the court. After prostrating and saluting, he respectfully said: "Long live your revelation, I have a memorial."

"I have a copy!"

Dong Qi recognized this man as a clan, named Liu Zhen, with the name of Gonggan, and was from Dongping, Yanzhou.

His father Liu Liang once served as Shangshu Ling and Ye Wang Ling. He was a famous scholar in the early days of Emperor Ling. Because people in the world had many exchanges for interests and were in gangs with each other because of evil spirits. Therefore, he wrote the book "Theory of the Breaking the Crown", which had a great influence when the party and corruption were banned and the ten regular attendants were rampant.

And Liu Zhen himself is also quite talented.

This year, when Zheng Xuan was giving lectures in Beihai Kingdom, he commented on the Seven Sons of Jian'an. Liu Zhen was also one of them, and he was also one of the five-character masters of the Han Dynasty after Dong Qi. He wrote "Politics of Gong Yan". Although the poems of Dong Qi are not as widely circulated as those of Dong Qi, they are also very good.

After arriving in Chang'an, the behavior was not obvious.

He stood up, what else was going on?

"I have reported to the Lord, it has been three years since the destiny of heaven given by the Lord. In the three years, the Grand Commander-General Luoyang won a great victory, regained the old land of the Eastern Capital, and had good weather and good health. I always think about it. The Han Dynasty was about to prosper, and the Marquis of Wugong made great contributions. Now there is a great cause for the promotion of education and transformation. All the generals of the princes and generals are comparable to the Grand Commander-General in the south. If there is no reward, how can the wise and generous of the Emperor be demonstrated?"

Hey, it actually boasts me?

Dong Qi couldn't help but squint his eyes and glanced at Liu Zhen.

If something goes wrong, it will be a monster. I don’t know Liu Zhen and I, so I praise me for no reason. There must be something abnormal here.

Subconsciously, he looked at Liu Bin.

Liu Bing seemed very happy and nodded, "What I said is not bad! I have today, and the Grand Governor has made great contributions and has to give me some rewards."

He paused, "With my dear, what should I give me a reward?"

Liu Zhen seemed to think for a moment, and then said loudly: "I think that the title of a marquis and minister as a great governor is not enough to demonstrate his merits. We should use the title of a country, so please consider it."

Dong Qi's head buzzed and was stunned!

Closing the country?

This guy actually wants me to enfeoff the country?

What is a fence? To put it bluntly, it is called an orphan.

The princes can only be marquis, but they cannot be called selves. However, if they have a country, they will not only increase their territory, but also have their own ministers. Before this, although Chen Gong and others in the court were mainly Dong Qi, they were always officials of the Han Dynasty. However, once Dong Qi was granted a country, they would inevitably build their own team. To put it simply, Dong Qi was granted a king and a marquis.

Since the Han Dynasty, most of the people who have had a fiefdom were relatives of the Han Dynasty.

It is not without the founding of a country with a foreign surname. For example, Han Xin, the king of the Emperor Gaozu, was the king of Han Xin... Of course, that is not a good example.

Dong Qi knew that Liu Zhen would not say good things for no reason.

But he never expected that Liu Zhen would ask for his fiefdom. For a moment, Dong Qi was a little overwhelmed and looked at Liu Zhen in a daze.

Liu Bian obviously did not expect Liu Zhen to make such a suggestion.

After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly laughed: "It is normal for Dong Qing to have a title for the country. I was also considering what kind of reward to Dong Qing. Since the Liu Qing family has proposed it, I think this matter is decided... Yang Qian, pass on my orders and canonize the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Guangluxun Sikong Dong Qi, as Duke of Liang, is worthy of enjoying the system of princes and kings in the early Han Dynasty."
