Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

During the period after Li Shimin survived the death of the Emperor and returned to Chang'an, all the major forces that were not close to the Tang Dynasty were in a state of self-danger.

What's more, these mountain monsters and wild gods are the first to bear the brunt.

Of course, not all the incense gods of the previous dynasties of the Tang Dynasty did not deny it. Of course, Li Shimin would not ruin the incense of those civil servants and military generals who sacrificed their lives for the country in their era and deserved the respect and memory of future generations.

Li Shimin even built two civil and military temples throughout the Tang Dynasty.

The Confucian Temple is the original Confucius Temple. Li Shimin also posthumously named Confucius "King Wenxuan", so the Confucian Temple is also called the Temple of King Wenxuan; and the Wu Temple was rebuilt from the "Tai Gong Temple". Li Shimin also made a tribute to Tai Gong Jiang Ziya. After his posthumous title, he was given the title "Wucheng Wang", so the Wucheng Temple was also called the Wucheng King Temple.

Of course, not only Confucian sage Confucius and Grand Duke Jiang Ziya are enshrined in these two civil and military temples.

Of course, there will be accompanying sacrifices. In the Confucian Temple, Confucius is the first sage, and only Yan Yuan is the first teacher. Then twenty-two Confucian scholars under Zuo Qiuming are selected to worship in the temple. After the court's deliberation, Zengzi himself is added. The opinions given established the norms of the Confucian Temple, and the number of worshipers was increased to ten philosophers, seventy-two sons, and twenty-one sages. As for the future increase or decrease in personnel, plans were also made in advance.

Among them, the seventy-two sages under the disciples of Confucius are all among them. In addition to the seventy-two sages under the disciples of Confucius, the others are the sages of the past dynasties, such as Gong Yanggao, Dong Zhongshu, Xu Shen, Zheng Kangcheng, Zhuge Kong Ming and so on.

In addition to these Confucian disciples, there is also a Baijia Hall in the Confucian Temple. However, this Baijia Hall is not considered complete after all. After that, it gradually disappeared. Even the Legalists and military strategists who were still active in the court were not pure and were more or less influenced by Confucianism.

Moreover, the Confucian Temple was rebuilt from the Confucius Temple, and the sages of hundreds of schools of thought were not necessarily willing to compete with Confucian disciples for incense in the Confucian Temple.

Compared with the Confucian Temple, the construction of the Martial Temple is much simpler.

In addition to appointing Jiang Taigong as the leader, Li Shimin personally appointed the ten sages of the martial arts temple, namely Zhang Liang, Bai Qi, Tian Ranju, Han Xin, Sun Wu, Zhuge Liang, Wu Qi, Wu Qi, Guan Zhong, Le Yi, and Wei Qing.

As for Li Jing and Li Ji, who were originally supposed to be on the list, due to the recovery of fortune in the Tang Dynasty, the bodies of these two veterans actually showed some signs of relapse. Although they were both recuperating in the mansion and did not show up in public, since they were If you're not dead, of course you can't be on the list.

In addition to the ten sages of the Martial Arts Temple, Li Shimin also named sixty-four famous generals from past dynasties who were all worthy of sitting beside the Grand Duke in the Martial Temple. Such as Sun Bin, Li Mu, Lian Po, Meng Tian, ​​Wang Jian, Huo Qubing, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and so on.

Li Shimin himself was a man of both civil and military skills. Moreover, he was an emperor who conquered the world on horseback and ruled the world on horseback. Of course, he knew that both civil and military disciplines had the same importance, and both sides were indispensable.

But now, Li Shimin has a new understanding of the relationship between civil and military circles.

That is force, which allows the major forces in the Three Realms to interact with the Tang Dynasty calmly; and Wen Dao allows one to communicate calmly with all parts of the Three Realms.

The establishment of the civil and military temples showed Li Shimin's attitude.

In addition to the civil and civil examinations, Li Shimin also organized martial arts examinations. It can be said that he was determined to recruit talents from all over the world and did not want to let anyone go. However, there is no doubt that Li Shimin has the ability to control them.

The civil servants and generals of the past dynasties who were recognized by Li Shimin or the people of the Tang Dynasty would enter the civil and military temples and accept the incense and offerings from the entire Tang Dynasty. This huge will power. Even Guan Yu, who had already become a god in heaven, felt it. A majestic force suddenly gathered in the body.

It's just that the sages and Confucian scholars in the Confucian Temple may be able to use the power of these incense to reshape the body of the incense god. But for some generals, this is not the case.

Especially those generals who had died fighting outside Chaos were unable to respond.

Such as Le Yi and Tian Dan.

In fact, among the two temples of civil and military, there is one who attracts the most attention - that is Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.

He is also the only person who can be worshiped by both the Confucian and Martial Temples at the same time, and no one has any objection.

However, Zhuge Liang's incense body was not born in a Confucian or Martial Temple. Because he always had his own "Wuhou Temple", emperors of all dynasties would repair the Wuhou Temple, and many literati would also spontaneously go to Wuhou Temple to pay homage to Prime Minister Zhuge. the greatest respect.

It's just that Zhuge Liang's incense body can only stay in Wuhou Temple and cannot leave the temple without permission.

It's different now. His incense body can appear in any Confucian or Martial Temple through the power of incense offerings.

"Prime Minister, it's been a long time."

In the martial arts temple, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to Zhuge Liang together and bowed their hands to the prime minister.

Although Guan Yu is also the god of incense, he is different from the ordinary god of incense. Moreover, the complexity of his godhead made even the Jade Emperor exclaim in disbelief when he saw it.

It seems that in all walks of life in the world, there is a phenomenon of worshiping Guan Yu.

That is to say, in terms of marriage and seeking children, Guan Yu did not develop such business, otherwise he would be too crazy.

Even to a certain extent, it is just like "When you don't know which god to worship, worship Bodhisattva, it is correct." This sentence is also applicable to Guan Yu, especially in the army, chamber of commerce, green forest and other places. Among the major gangs in the world, Guan Yu is the most popular place.

There were even times when even Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, shouted that it was outrageous that he, the God of Wealth, would actually feel pressure from Guan Yu in this regard.

For this reason, the Jade Emperor even specially asked the "Guan Sheng Emperor" to take a temporary post in the Ministry of Finance and be named the Yiwu God of Wealth.

In addition, both Taoism and Buddhism also gave Guan Yu separate imperial titles. In Taoism, he is called the "Guan Sheng Emperor", and in Buddhism, he is respected as the "Jialan Bodhisattva". However, Guan Yu has always only recognized the Guan Sheng Emperor, not the Recognize the title of Jialan Bodhisattva.

It can be said that Guan Yu is both the God of War and the God of Wealth. He is the God of fortune, blessings for imperial examinations, curing diseases and eliminating disasters, exorcising evil and avoiding evil, punishing rebellion, patrolling the underworld, etc. In the mortal world, I am afraid he is the busiest god.

Guan Yu is also the highest example of the god of incense and fire. Throughout the ages, I am afraid that no one can match him.

When he saw Guan Yu in the martial arts temple, he was frightened to the point where he almost collapsed from the body of a military general who had just given birth to a god of incense. This man was none other than Lu Meng who had crossed the river in white and attacked Jingzhou.

If Zhou Yu and Lu Xun hadn't taken action together, they would have disappeared in just this moment. Looking at the two colleagues who helped him stabilize his body, Xiang Huo Lu Meng also wanted to cry without tears, and said in his heart: It would be easier for you to let me die.

Because Zhou Yu died early, he didn't know what happened that year. Although Lu Xun knew it well, he certainly had his own considerations when he took action. After all, it was Lu Xun who burned the camp for 700 miles and almost wiped out the entire army of Liu Huangshu who avenged Guan Yu. At this time, the only one who could stand in front of him was Wu Xia Amen who dared to behead Guan Yu. .

There is nothing wrong with wanting to make a name for yourself. But not everything can be done.

If Lu Xun hadn't been ordered to turn the tide and defeat Liu Bei at Yiling, it's hard to say what the state of Wu would have been like.

But that's exactly what happened. In the Battle of Yiling, the Shu Han Dynasty returned with a huge defeat. The elite men who had accumulated their strength for many years were depleted and their vitality was severely damaged. The reason why Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was blocked again and again was also due to this reason.

They are all slowly interlocking, a cycle of cause and effect.

Lu Xun himself did not agree with Lu Meng's strategy of crossing the river in white clothes. He disguised himself as a commoner and attacked Jingzhou. It was not the work of a man. Moreover, he only took advantage of Guan Yu's absence in Jingzhou to carry out this vicious plan. After this, it was the first time that the two armies were fighting. , is the biggest blow to the people.

Crossing the river in white, Lu Meng asked his soldiers to dress up as common people and his warships to dress up as merchant ships. He thus deceived the sentries in Jingzhou and successfully attacked Jingzhou.

From then on, because the army could not distinguish the authenticity of the people, it would inevitably take some drastic actions and adopt some extraordinary measures to ensure its own safety.

Of course, the main reason is that Lu Meng crossed the river in white to capture Jingzhou, captured Guan Yu in Maicheng, and killed Guan Yu, and then did nothing else.

If he could conquer Shu Han in one go, it might be a different situation.

However, after Lu Meng brought Guan Yu's head back to Jianye, he died not long after.

Soochow announced to the outside world that Lu Meng died of illness.

But probably only Lu Meng and Sun Quan know the truth.

Lu Xun knew very well that after Lu Meng came back, he presented Guan Yu's head to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was overjoyed on the surface, but deep down, he was already very panicked.

Everyone in the Three Kingdoms knows that the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang have a deep friendship. Even if Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes and attacked Jingzhou, even if he captured Guan Yu alive in Maicheng and brought him back to Jianye, there was still room for change.

Even Boss Cao didn't expect that Lu Meng could do such a thing.

As for Liu Bei and Sun Quan, when they learned that Guan Yu was defeated, Liu Bei was prepared to bleed a lot and redeem Guan Yu at all costs. Even Zhuge Liang knew this clearly and was already planning for Liu Bei; of course Sun Quan also had his heart set on it. He knew full well that he had to make good use of Guan Yu and was willing to take a piece of meat from Uncle Liu Huang's hands.

But Lu Meng cut off Guan Yu's head with a single blow. This not only completely ignited Liu Huangshu's anger, but also caught Sun Quan off guard.

Because of this sword, except for Guan Yu's head and Liu Bei's revenge, Soochow could not gain any benefits. It even saw a disaster coming.

Therefore, on the surface, Sun Quan said that Lü Meng had made great contributions, appointed him as the governor of Nanjun, granted him the title of Marquis of Chi Ling, and granted him 100 million in money and 500 jins of gold. However, before the title was issued, Lü Meng became ill, and Lü Meng was placed by Sun Quan. In his inner palace, imperial doctors were arranged to diagnose and treat him, and Taoist priests were also invited to pray for Lu Meng.

But the final result was that "Lü Meng died suddenly."

Seeing Lu Meng here now, Lu Xun actually wanted to ask him how he died back then. But now, seeing how shocked Lu Meng was when he saw Guan Yu, Lu Xun felt that the rumors back then might be Not false.

Although Sun Quan said that Lu Meng died of illness, there are two other theories among the people. One is that Lu Meng was killed by Sun Quan, and it was Sun Quan who wanted to exchange for Liu Huangshu's anger, but Lu Xun thought it was unlikely. Although Sun Quan was right about The ministers were very suspicious, but they still wanted to kill Lu Meng first when they knew that Liu Bei would send troops to attack Wu. That was obviously a suicide attempt.

As the king of Wu State, Sun Quan would not do such a thing of beheading an army in battle.

Then there is another rumor that people have to pay attention to. Rumor has it that it is Guan Yu's soul that followed him all the way to Soochow. The reason why Sun Quan placed Lu Meng in his inner palace was because he wanted to be an emperor. The energy of crape myrtle was used to resist Guan Yu's soul. It was only three points in the world, and Soochow was the weakest at that time. The energy of crape myrtle in Sun Quan's body did not resist for too long. In the end, Guan Yu's soul found an opening and defeated him. Lu Meng beheaded Sun Quan in his inner palace.

If we say that in the past, Lu Xun would of course have scoffed at this rumor. But now, he is in the Martial Temple, has given birth to the incense and fire god body, and Guan Yu still has such a majestic momentum, then it is really uncertain.

Perhaps because of this, Sun Quan did not dare to leave Guan Yu's head in Soochow, but quickly sent it to Cao Wei.

When Prime Minister Cao saw Guan Yu's head, he was equally heartbroken. After all, Prime Minister Cao's admiration for Guan Yunchang was well known to the three countries. It's a pity that Luo Hua is intentional and Lushui is ruthless, and Yunchang is devoted to his eldest brother Liu Bei, so he can only live up to Prime Minister Cao's good intentions.

In this regard, Prime Minister Cao said more than once that if he had met Yunchang first, he would have done whatever he wanted——

Moreover, Prime Minister Cao didn't believe that Yun Chang didn't have any thoughts about himself. Otherwise, he could have captured or killed him when he was in Huarong Road. But he let himself go.

Perhaps it was because of Yunchang's death in battle that Prime Minister Cao also died of illness not long after.

But no matter what, Lu Meng's death obviously did not calm Liu Bei's anger.

After Cao Cao died of illness and his son Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Bei also ascended the throne of Wudan Mountain and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was named "Han" and the reign was named "Zhang Wu".

In July of the first year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei sent troops to attack Soochow in the name of revenge for Guan Yu. During this period, Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates, which deepened Liu Bei's anger.

Sun Quan also sent an envoy to ask for peace, but Liu Bei was furious and refused. In the end, the two sides met each other at war. (End of chapter)
