The Prosperity of Taoism

Another example: In the late Xuanhe period, Zhao Ji personally planned 800 Jinshi, of which more than 100 were special court trials. These people were children of super wealthy businessmen in the name of offering tributes and writings. Their characteristics were that they were not alive and they could give them any money! Each of them gave Liang Shicheng about 10,000 yuan, and they had the chance to be selected in the court trial. These people saw with their own eyes that the eunuch Liang was standing beside the emperor, whispering to the emperor, and whoever took the lead and who was demoted, all had the result...

Liang Shicheng not only secretly manipulated the country, but also dominated the officialdom in front of the emperor! Who would not accept such a thing? Almost all the news is that there is a Liang eunuch in the palace, and he is better than the priest! So Liang Shicheng has a title of "hidden image", and he finally succeeded! The best master behind the Song Dynasty! Invisibly turning the world and turning the world! To do this, even Cai Jing, the real prime minister, bowed his head and took the initiative to visit his eldest son to bring the relationship closer...

On September 9, at the suggestion of the Grand Tutor Cai Jing, the official title of the restructuring of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty was greatly reformed again: Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao were the prime minister of the empire. Shizhong was the Zuofu, and Zhongshu Ling was the Youbi. Shangshu Zuo Pushe was the Taizai and the Minister of the Jung-secretary, and Shangshu Youpushe was the Shaozai and the Minister of the Jung-secretary.

This month, Aguda returned to his hometown of Jurchen tribe. He knew clearly that he had angered the Emperor of the Great Liao at the headfish banquet. Yelu Yanxi could send troops to destroy him at any time. Then he should take advantage of the situation! Taking advantage of the serious illness of the leader, Wanyan Aguda began to unify the Jurchen tribe! The leader Zhao San, Aguda, refused to follow, and was captured by Aguda. The two could only escape to Xianzhou alone and complain to the Emperor of the Great Liao. Unexpectedly, this matter was reported to the Northern Privy Council. The third treacherous minister and Privy Councilor Xiao Fengxian still disdained him: Isn’t it just two small tribes that were in a row? Go back and pass on the imperial edict of our Emperor of the Great Liao: Ask Aguda to meet the Emperor of the Beijing Tribe! We will teach him some rules and let alone reform... The imperial edict was passed to the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, and Aguda was disdainful of him at all, let alone reform reform!

On January, the new Yanfu Palace was completed and a banquet for the ministers. Because the five eunuchs were divided into division of labor, they were called "Five Yanfu".

Continue to build a palace? The relationship is not going well. Some people are very unhappy. Cai Jing has taken over the previous project. Do you need to consider the feelings of other comrades? The eunuchs in the palace have opinions!

Tong Guan is not the one who is a nameless boss hidden behind the scenes. The big boss of that type is Liang Shicheng, and he can't compare. What he wants is real power and the limelight is the same. Specifically, a good person like building a palace must not be squeezed to the periphery! He joined forces with four eunuchs including Yang Jian, Jia Xiang, He, and Lan Congxi to propose a plan. As soon as it was released, the emperor's eyes were shining, which made Cai Jing feel cold...

He is worthy of being a person who has been working inside the palace. He pointed out the flaws of the Song Dynasty palace in a sharp way. Follow this plan and immediately change the world. The Song Dynasty palace will double its charm...

Kaifeng City was the greatest, most magnificent, richest and most commercial capital in ancient China. However, the size of the Song Dynasty palace before Zhao Ji was the smallest among the dynasties in history. Its circumference was only 5 miles. What is this enough? Even if it carved beams and painted buildings, it would be too cramped? So it needs to be expanded!

But it is not just an expansion, but a supplement. The supplementary building is also very consistent with the identity of a eunuch, and it is just a large canteen. This canteen is called Yanfu Palace, which was specially used by the emperor to have dinner with ministers. It is built outside Gongchen Gate to the north of the Da Nei. It is very famous and small in scale. Think about the total circumference of the palace where the emperor and the empress and the concubines live is only 5 miles, so you can know what Yanfu Palace can look like?

The five eunuchs proposed the plan: toppled down the city wall on the north side of the imperial city, toppled down the original Yanfu Palace, and build a palace group based on the overall area of ​​the original home!

This palace group is divided into 5 areas, each of which is composed of 5 eunuchs. These five brothers are familiar with each other to the pile sealing warehouse, inner warehouse, national treasury and other major places where money is hidden. We will give it to our family as much money as possible! At this time, what is important is not money, but the competition mechanism, which cannot be compared anyway!

What does the Yanfu Palace built like like this? List some original data: the new palace reaches Jinglongmen in the east and Tianbomen in the west, pavilions, towers, palaces and water pavilions, all architectural forms in ancient China are available. The palaces include 7 buildings: Mu Qing, Chengping, Huining, Ruimo, Ninghe, Kunwang, and Qunyu.

The pavilion is divided into east and west groups. On the east side: icy fragrance, sautumn, peaches, spring brocade, stacked jade, fragrant, beautiful jade, cold fragrance, brushing clouds, sautumn, green treasure, lead treasure, cloud brocade, orchid, 15 pavilions of gold. On the west side: 15 pavilions of blooming, snow fragrance, sautumn, sautumn, sautumn, square treasure, red calyx, farm flower, green ripples, Yaobi, clear sound, autumn fragrance, cong jade, support jade, and 15 pavilions of red clouds.

Outside this, stones are stacked to form a mountain, and a super pavilion is built, which is 11 zhang high and 1 zhang wide. How can such a high pavilion not be surrounded by water? You dug a pond to fill water, which is 400 feet across and 67 feet across.

After all these were covered, Zhao Ji came in and walked, shaking his head as he walked. Although the scenery was good, it was too crafted and it was all artificial... It was annoying! This group of things without art cells are terrible without culture...

Faced with the emperor's new request, the eunuchs such as Tong Guan lowered their heads in shame. No matter how confident they were, they could not handle this task. Tong Guan looked at Cai Jing reluctantly, and only this person could satisfy His Majesty's desires...

Decorating a palace group is the same as painting a painting. The gullies in the heart and the high vision are indispensable. Cai Jing has proved this with two practical actions: once was painting for Zhao Ji in Hangzhou and choosing antiques, and the other was when the Jingling Palace was built in front...

This area is equivalent to the entire palace complex, with all kinds of strange plants coming from all directions in the country, reaching the level of "cold pine and strange rocks, strange flowers and trees, fighting for beauty". Animals gather birds, animals, and aquariums in a garden, and built sections such as "turtle pavilion, crane farm, deer fort, peacock railing, scale pond".

It is the feeling that the little boxwood tree brings him, and it is this taste! Zhao Ji was satisfied in this novel world, and felt that the emperor was very successful in treating it like this! He didn’t spend much money, but also demonstrated his unique taste!

Up to this point, Zhao Ji successfully enjoyed material life (palace gardens) and artistic life (natural scenery). What is next? After all, life must continue, enjoy and innovate. With Zhao Ji's talent, he can't stop...

The answer is very simple: still religion, Taoism!

In the year of Zhenghe (111), I ordered you to summon you and don’t come. If you don’t summon you, you will bring back 500 cavalry to our Xianzhou city in one day. Since you have come, Aguda, you will talk to Zhao San, Aguda, and Aguda, and he will discuss the truth. But Wanyan Aguda still looked rebellious and angered the interrogative officials, and decided to arrest the Jurchens and eat for a few days to jail, which will smother his arrogance. Unexpectedly, Aguda fled back to his hometown overnight. Later, he gave Emperor Tianzuo a letter: I have come to listen to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty’s officials in the Qunwen Department want to kill me, so I dare not stay. Your Majesty will no longer have to call me with the imperial edict, and I will not come again...

On April 6, an edict was issued to rename the princess to be the emperor, the princess to be the Zongji, and the county lord to be the clanji. Therefore, there is a saying among the people about whether they have a master. Also, it is said that the ji is hungry, which implies that these golden branches and jade leaves will soon become hungry and cold...

In September, another magical Taoist priest entered the life of Emperor Huizong of Song: Wang Laozhi, a native of Puzhou.

There was a story about immortals in the Tang Dynasty. After Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji missed Yang Guifei very much and found a priest to search for it. Even if he went to the priest, he would find the trace of the priest. This priest was very brave. Not only did he find Yang Guifei on the overseas fairy mountain, he also brought back some private words from Li and Yang that year, which made the parties involved unable to doubt... It was very awesome? There were also ones in the Song Dynasty, and it went up to the level!

Wang Laozhi was originally a local small official, but later abandoned his official position and learned Taoism. He was extremely immortal. Someone in his hometown in Shandong asked him for trouble, but suddenly a deep pit was sunk under his feet. The big scales at the bottom of the pit were exposed, and the person who was in trouble turned around and ran away. After running for 5 miles, the thunder above his head was shocked, and the rain and hail were falling...

When Wang Laozhi entered Beijing, he happened to catch Zhao Ji's beloved concubine Liu died of illness. Zhao Ji was sad and asked him to enter the palace to ask about Concubine Liu's situation in another world. Wang Laozhi said that Concubine Liu was the Zixu Yuanjun in the sky, and now he had his soul returned to Daoshan and re-established the result. But through him, Zhao Ji was able to talk to Concubine Liu. The emperor was skeptical...

Another noble concubine, Qiao, asked: She and Liu, are very good. Do Liu still miss her now? Wang Laozhi didn't say anything and took out a letter. The letter actually wrote about the private words that Qiao and Liu said a year ago when they were with Zhao Ji...

On the 1st, Wang Laozhi was summoned to Beijing. On the 19th, he was named Mr. Dongwei.

Next, Zhao Ji also became supernatural. He first had a dream, and in the dream it was soaring into the Nine Heavens, and climbed to an immortal palace. The god inside told him, "You should promote my religion with your fate." The god dressed as a Taoist priest.

Zhao Ji solemnly told the ministers around him that they understood and informed them layer by layer. But the effect was not very good, and not many people were shocked. Afterwards, it was probably because there were no bystanders. The emperor had a dream and then promoted it to the ministers alone. The credibility was not high? Another reason may be that the scale was too small. After the movement of Emperor Zhenzong to create the gods, the people of the Song Dynasty were too high to be exempted from service, which led to indifference...

What should I do? The smart Zhao Ji thought about it and said nothing, and did nothing. Until November 6th, he was dressed up and went to the Circular Mound to worship the sky. On that day, the Yiwei was grand and all the ministers were all. The emperor took the jade troop out of Nanxun Gate and rushed to the Circular Mound. As soon as he left the city, Zhao Ji suddenly pointed in front of him and asked the young man around him, "Cai Aiqing, look at the east side of Yujin Garden, if there are many towers, where is it?"

Cai Jing has many sons, and the eldest son Cai You is very special. He did not take the imperial examination to get to know the emperor. When Zhao Ji was still the Duan King, he gained the favor of the future emperor.

When Zhao Ji left the palace, he often met a young man two or three years older than him. When he saw him, he would immediately dismount and stand aside. Over time, Zhao Ji asked, "Who is this?" "Tai Chengzhi's son."

Cai You's name entered Zhao Ji's heart from now on, and he was considered a friend of poor and humbleness. At this time, Cai You understood it and replied, "I saw that there are indeed towers in the clouds. If you look closely, they are all dozens of feet high from the ground."

"Is that so? My dear, you have good eyesight, what else do you see? Are there any characters?" "Yes, Taoist boys hold banners, keep their styling, walking among the clouds, and can see their eyebrows, eyes, and expressions as if they are in front of you." After hearing this, the ministers and guards around him shouted in unison, the gods have really come down to earth, but we are too stupid, only the emperor and Cai You have a connection with immortality, so we see...

On the 8th, Zhao Ji built a Taoist temple here, named it "Yingzhen" and wrote "The Legend of the Innate Spirits". From then on, the Song Dynasty once again launched a national Taoist revival movement...

In this movement, Taoism reached its peak in history and became the only ********** religion in the righteous dynasty in China. Zhao Ji was the one unity!

First of all, he is the emperor, but he claimed that besides Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, he had another father. This father was the Jade Emperor, abbreviated as God. Zhao Ji was the Yuanzi of God, the eldest son. Zhao Ji was on [31 Novel Network] The official name in the sky was Shenxiao Emperor. Because he loved the land of the Central Plains so much, he looked down from the sky and found that the vast earth was full of bald heads. He was really angry, so he took the initiative to ask for birth to save him.

The common people... In the mouth of Emperor Shenxiao Zhao Ji, Buddhism is called "Jin Di's Teaching" Jin, which belongs to the West in the five elements. This is a sense of direction, pointing to the ancient Indians of India. Di, barbarians and foreign tribes, with contempt, originating from the superiority of the Chinese and American Han people... How could a noble Chinese heir shave his head and worship the gods of the foreign tribes? It was simply a matter of forgetting his ancestors! Therefore, Zhao Ji, with the integrated identity of "the leader and emperor", added several halos to Taoist believers...

First, we need to learn. Zhao Ji asked the people of the whole country to do everything possible to dig out the Taoist knowledge heritage. Who can hand over the isolated book? The treasures of Taoist classics can be promoted and made money immediately! The classics are classified by the official designated person and sorted out, and finally synthesized into a "Wanshou Daozang". According to legend, the "Nine Yin Scriptures" is a by-product of this rescue scripture movement...

Then we have to study. From then on, the Song Dynasty, the prefectures and Taixue and other academic institutions have added more subjects, major classics or minor classics. Students choose any classics, study them carefully, and learn them well and have a prize! The great classics refer to the "Huangdi Neijing" and "Tao Te Ching". The small classics refer to "Zhuangzi" and "Liezi"

During the study, Taoist priests became rich. They had identities, from low to high, and their ranks were equal to those of the ranks of the sergeant and ranks of the sergeant and ranks. If they had ranks, they had power. They did not have to show tribute or bow down when they saw officials. This was not just a confrontation, but was simply beyond the reach of the above! Power was money. Taoist priests repaired the Shenxiao Palace all over the country, and the palace and temple commanders were no longer part-time jobs by officials, but were all held by brothers in the sect. Therefore, the generous salary of the palace and temple job became a place for their own land! Finally, it was the ultimate privilege. No matter who committed any crime, except for the crime of anti-Song and anti-Zhao *******, as long as they joined Taoism, they would immediately restore their reputation and become a new person...

During this process, the monks were in great trouble. First, the name was changed. The monk was called Deshi, the Buddha was called Jinxian, the Bodhisattva was called Immortal, the Arhat was called Wulu, the Vajra was called Lishi, and the Sangha was called Xiushan...

Then the place where we live is gone. The Shenxiao Palace is built in various places. The official statement is to be renovated from Taoist temples in various places. However, in actual operation, Taoist priests with level 6 officials in their hands smiled and stopped the decoration engineering team: Why waste it? The house is still the original house, what tricks can be made if there is no need to repair it? You go around and take a look at the largest Buddhist temple, drive away the monks inside, and renovate the Shenxiao Palace there...

The original monk robe is so stunning. Zhao Ji said that he looked at the dense bald heads on the ground in the sky, and even the cassocks, magic crowns, tin staffs and other things were not pleasing to the eyes. These must be changed, and they were changed to half-taught priests! You must wear a star crown on your head, but there is no sun, moon, star patterns, just a dark hat. This is nothing, at most, you can tie a strap around your neck. But the underside of the hat cannot be handled. Under the genuine star crown is a crown scarf, which is matched with the flowing long hair of the Taoist priests, making it look elegant and beautiful. But the monks are bald. What's going on? The monks have a way, they put on wigs! The wigs are combed into a bun and don't wear hairpins. It looks very harmonious when you are far away, without any flaws. All of the above are just conventional facilities, implemented at the folk and official levels...

How to say it? In a word: they are all rules set for mortals! There is a god above humans, and in the realm above mortals, Zhao Ji is the real goal pursued! (To be continued)
