As far as Meng Fan knows, this is the Sui Dynasty's understanding of the three religions. The sun, moon and stars are irreplaceable, so each of the three religions has its own advantages and disadvantages, and no one can occupy a unique position.

In the Tang Dynasty, Taoism became the state religion, and emperors of all dynasties paid special attention to it. For example, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once issued an edict saying: "I am my ancestor, and my title and title should be in front of the Buddha."

When I was in power today, I also respected Laozi as the Elder Emperor.

Therefore, how can a sage be associated with a woman? Aren't the troupes afraid of having their homes confiscated and destroyed?

But then I thought about it, who would care too much about a lowly actor? Just scold him and get off the stage, so as not to be suspected of lowering his status.

After a while, the literati did not leave, but started to argue over the tea provided by the host. They thought that the scolding was not enough, so they started to argue in two groups.

The topic is very classic - the debate between Huayi and Huayi.

This dispute has been going on since the Han Dynasty, so it is easier to quote from other sources. As we continue to talk, we start to talk about what kind of national policy the imperial court should implement towards the various ethnic groups in Longyou.

Most of the high-quality literati of this era had official positions and titles, and they were all talents that the imperial court tried its best to win over. Therefore, the influence of today's debate is actually very wide, and can indeed spread to the political hall and even the forbidden palace.

Naturally, Meng Fan did not participate. He watched in all directions and listened in all directions, listening to various quotations from the scriptures by such scholars.

What is Haoshouqiongjing?

In comparison, the Taoist priest's cultural accomplishment in this area is really not enough, but it is good that he can understand and have his own ideas.

As far as the situation is concerned, today's Tang Dynasty has mostly strong Han thoughts and strong national self-esteem. Anyone who dares to invade the country must attack hard and never make any remarks.

Among them, there are many elderly gentlemen.

Sometimes, Meng Fan felt that if he gave them a horizontal sword, they would really dare to kill the enemy.

However, only the civil servants were interested in this and discussed it happily. However, most of the royal relatives, generals of the imperial army, and hereditary nobles were not very proficient in classics, and found it boring, so they resigned one by one.

…

Time flies.

War broke out in Longyou.

Although Meng Fan was not sent there, the war progressed smoothly, good news frequently reached the court, and the laughter in the East Palace never stopped.

In the early autumn, Lou Shide, as an envoy, met with the Tubo general Lunzanpo at Riyue Mountain in Chiling.

Lou Shide promoted the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and stated his interests. After a series of failures, Tubo was in awe and convinced, and finally gave up control of Tuyuhun, and would no longer have any thoughts about the Western Regions in the next twenty years.

During this period, the Turks, who were showing signs of resurgence, also put away their fangs and became docile again.

The kings of the Western Regions also sent a new batch of envoys to Chang'an with various rare treasures.

Due to his meritorious service, Lou Shide was promoted to the position of Censor of the Imperial Palace, Sima of the Heyuan Army, and also in charge of farm affairs, taking a step towards becoming a general or prime minister in the future.

I thought I had nothing to worry about, but I didn't expect that the Duke of Yan came to visit him immediately after returning to Beijing to meet the emperor. He not only told the story of the war, but also came to give gifts.

Meng Fan stared blankly at the ordinary purple box in his hand. The items inside were not cheap at all. It was a necklace composed of thousands of small red gold pieces, with a red fire gemstone in the middle.

Under the sun, it doesn't look like a dead thing at all, but a living flame that is stirring...

If you look closely, you will find that it is not because of reflected sunlight that it appears to be burning, but it is related to the origin.

To put it more bluntly, it is a natural magic weapon with very high specifications. At least Meng Fan cannot refine a treasure with such strong yang energy.

At first, he wanted to be polite.

The Duke of Yan directly said that they all had gold, silver and jewels, and they divided them equally as soon as they grabbed them. This thing seemed to be the most precious and they had always kept it for themselves.

Now that the words have come to this point, there is no point in trying to shirk them anymore. It seems pretentious, so Meng Fan chooses to accept them happily.

Seeing this, Duke Yan was equally happy.

…

The wheel of history is rolling forward.

In the first year of Hongdao's reign, Emperor Ri Chi died of illness in his wife's favorite city, Dongdu, at the age of fifty-six.

In addition to the posthumous edict promulgated later, there is also the Yuan Dynasty edict, which describes some of his regrets in the thirty-four years since he took the throne. He hopes that all officials at home and abroad can understand the true meaning of Taoism and advocate frugality and simplicity——

Relying on the Great Dao, the Yuan will be established, and the whole world will be reformed.

At the same time, amnesty is granted to the whole world.

Li Zhi attached great importance to this edict and wanted to go to the palace gate to read it in person. However, he was too weak and could only invite some people to the palace and ordered his ministers to read it on his behalf.

"Are the people happy?"

“The people are all gratified when they are pardoned!”

"Although the common people are happy, my life is in danger. If the gods of heaven and earth extend my life for a month or two, I can return to Chang'an, and I will die without regrets!"

That night, he passed away in Zhenguan Hall.

The "Edict of the Great Emperor" reads: "The Crown Prince Xian... has already set the example of heaven and man, and has long been the instrument of the emperor. All the princes, princes, and ministers are dedicated to their sincerity, respecting the prince, and cloning the great cause. I have laid a foundation of seven hundred."

, to support Si’s billion-dollar wish.

After the death, there will be a funeral within seven days. The world is great and the clan is very important. If you hold the contract to inherit the peach, you cannot leave it alone for a while. The crown prince can assume the throne of emperor in front of the throne."

Prince Li Xian sat in front of the coffin on the sixth day in accordance with the imperial edict, and on the seventh day - December 11th - he was officially crowned emperor.

The two late emperors of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu and Taizong, both ordered their successors to ascend the throne in front of the coffin before their death. They both said that "military and state affairs must not be suspended; ordinary leisure affairs must be handled by officials", indicating that the handling of major events is related to the monarch's power.

, it must be handled personally by the adult successor emperor and cannot be left in the hands of others.

As for the Queen Mother, if the imperial court encounters important military and state matters that cannot be decided, the Queen Mother can only rely on her status as the Queen Mother to decide the important matter. If the foreign court can solve it, the Queen Mother cannot intervene.

Obviously, after six or seven years of experience, Li Xian did not need a harem to interfere in politics. He was already full-fledged, well-established, and had made great contributions to the country and the people.

No one knows when Taishi Ling Meng Jiu disappeared.

Anyway, a few days after he left, Ming Chongyan, who had been spreading admonitions in the past, died suddenly in the palace, and the prince's serious trouble was eliminated.

After that, rumors of mysterious cats appearing in the arms of gods appeared one after another in various places, and real people continued to pay attention to them.

After Li Xian inherited the throne, his first order was to summon the real person of Maoshan and give him the title of "protecting the country".

Unfortunately, no one responded to the edict from beginning to end. The special envoy sent to Maoshan stepped into it as he wished, only to find that the building was already empty.

Over time, the idea of ​​ascending to heaven was gradually recognized by both the government and the public, and they could only order the states to expand the temple of real people and pay tribute from time to time.

However, in the real temple, a young woman must be enshrined next to the statue of the god, and the two of them stand side by side.

…

Another year of Lantern Festival.

Princess Taiping, who is the most favored by the Empress Dowager and your Majesty today, wrote: "The late Emperor promised me to leave my concubine at home, and I still claim the title of Lord, food, rent, and taxes. I sincerely wish to go to the Princess's title, quit the city, and return to the palace."

What would the emperor think if his sister said this on such a festive day?

"No."

Li Xian, who has already entered middle age, spoke concisely and to the point, feeling very helpless. He had already indulged Yaomei so much. He had long ordered all the temples in the Tang Dynasty to erect two statues of real people. As a result, millions of people believed that the statues of gods were husband and wife.

.

However, Taiping did not retreat. He seemed to want to settle the matter today and said loudly:

"I am the grandson of Emperor Taizong, the daughter of Emperor Gaozong, and the younger brother of His Majesty. I am not considered lowly in the world. Why should I be named after the title of the master, be married to Tangmu, and then become noble? I will take over the property of hundreds of families and extend my life for ten years.

"

This time, Li Xian fell into a long silence.

"Let it go."

"Shangguan Wan'er is coming with me."
