A Buddhist temple named "White Horse Temple" was established, and countless nobles and nobles watched the newly built temple and were very curious about Buddhism.

A few years ago, a group of monks from the Western Regions came to Luoyang to meet the emperor Liu Zhuang who had just ascended the throne, and brought many new ideas and exotic customs.

They claimed to come from self-poisoning. Because they spread Buddhist beliefs 70 years ago, they were expelled by the poisonous emperor of the Zhou Dynasty who believed in [Confucianism-Brahmanism]. Therefore, they had to flee to the Western Regions to spread the orthodox tradition of Buddha Sakyamuni. , After changing the Western Regions from Greek polytheism to Buddhist belief, they continued eastward, and finally came to Dahan, a state of civilization and etiquette, a few years ago.

According to these monks, there is also a Confucian culture in Shendu far away, but it is different from the Confucian culture here in the Central Plains.

Shendu has a powerful country named Dazhou. This country combined Confucianism and Brahmanism, and finally evolved into [Confucianism-Brahmanism]. [Confucianism-Brahmanism] is the state religion of Dazhou, so Buddhism is He was expelled by the Great Zhou Emperor.

"Shendu also has Confucian culture? And there is a powerful empire called Zhou? And the emperor of Zhou is still surnamed Ji?"

Emperor Liu Zhuang suddenly became interested, and he decided to send an envoy to the Western Regions, and then sent an envoy to poison himself.

At the same time, in another newly built palace in Nangong.

"There are too many mistakes in Tai Shigong's "Historical Records". It actually recorded Gaodi as Gaozu, and confused the order of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Even the birth records of Wang You'an and Wang Guangming were wrongly recorded. They were born in Taiyuan County and Langya. County, why is it written as Liaodong County?"

Ban Gu, who was sorting out the historical materials, shook his head. When he was sorting out various historical materials, he accidentally found many wrong records in the "Historical Records", so he planned to recompile a new historical book by himself to cover all the wrong records of Tai Shigong. Revise.

He not only has to rewrite the history books, but also edits the biographies of Dahan's celebrities over the years, such as writing Dahan's Yuntai 28 general into the biographies.

Yuntai 28 will be canonized by Emperor Liu Zhuang a few years ago. He painted portraits of 28 generals who made the most contributions in Yuntai Pavilion in Luoyang Nangong, so the 28 people on the portraits are honored as Yuntai 28 generals.

These 28 will be:

[Qinglong: Deng Yu, Wang Bian, Jia Fu, Geng Yan, Kou Xun, Cen Peng, Feng Yi;
Xuanwu: Zhu You, Ji Zun, Jing Dan, Gai Yan, Jian Tan, Geng Chun, Zhang Yuliang;

White Tiger: Ma Wu, Liu Long, Ma Cheng, Wang Liang, Chen Jun, Fu Jun, Li Chengyou;

Suzaku: Yao Qi, Wang Ba, Ren Guang, Li Zhong, Wan Xiu, Pi Tong, Lu Yiran]

teahouse
"Just say that in the Kingdom of Clouds, gold is everywhere, and there are trees that grow silk in the mountains. These trees will grow strands of silk, as much as you want, and the rivers are full of wine, and the ground is full of gold. They are all cattle and horses, and if you dig them with a shovel, there will be a lot of jade. There are only women in the country, and all the women are stunning. Blessings of Qi people!"

A son of the Wang family came to the teahouse to serve as a storyteller, and he couldn't stop talking to death in the teahouse.

"Hey, boss, bring me a bowl of tea, I'm thirsty." The storyteller stopped in the middle of speaking, and first asked the owner of the teahouse for a bowl of tea.

"Okay." The owner of this teahouse is also the Wang family, and this teahouse is also run by the Wang family.

"Hurry up, what else does the Cloud Kingdom have? Don't stop talking halfway!"

The common people in the teahouse asked the storyteller to continue.

"Don't worry, let me have a sip of tea first." The storyteller gulped down a bowl of tea, then shook his feather fan and continued: "When I went to the Yunzhong Kingdom, the women of Yunzhongjun rushed up, Begging to give birth to me, that scene, think about it for yourself, it's too exciting."

"I was afraid that my body would not be able to bear it, so I ran away quickly, and ended up running to a river, drank a few mouthfuls of river water, and felt drunk. It was only later that I realized that the river was full of wine!"

"When I woke up, I found a girl who was more beautiful than my concubines and oirans lying next to me. She was gently stroking my chest. When I got out of bed, I found that my legs were soft and the ground was cold. The ground is paved with emeralds, and the tree outside the window is covered with silk, at first I thought it was hung by someone else, but later I found out that it actually grows from the branches!"

What the storyteller said was so brilliant that the common people were mesmerized when they heard it.

Then, an untimely voice appeared.

"You said that Yunzhong Kingdom is so good, so why do you come back? Can't you stay in Yunzhong Kingdom and enjoy the blessings? Do you have to go back to the Central Plains to suffer?" A young man asked.

The rest of the people also looked at Mr. Storyteller, waiting for him to give a reasonable explanation.

"In this world, it's really hard to be a good person. People's hearts are not ancient!"

Seeing that the people did not choose to trust him simply, but questioned him cunningly, the storyteller shook his head and sighed, as if he was lamenting the corruption of the world and the old people, and the people are no longer simple and kind. Cunning is too unsophisticated.

Afterwards, he drank another bowl of tea in a calm manner, and his face was full of compassion, his eyes were full of concern for the country and the people, and he said earnestly: "The sage said, if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world."

"I can't bear the hard life of the people in my heart who are still living the hard life of resting at sunset and working at sunrise, so I want to achieve and benefit the world, and tell everyone the Datong society in the legend of the sages of Confucius and Mencius, so that everyone can get rid of poverty together."

"The farmer has his land, the homeer has his house, the elderly are supported, the young are educated, the sick are healed, and the weak are helped. This is the mission of our generation of scholars! It is also the reason why we read sage books every day!"

The storyteller's words made everyone feel ashamed, because they judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Well said! This is the role model for my generation!"

At this time, another supporter arranged by the Wang family joined in in time and applauded repeatedly in the teahouse, bringing the rhythm up.

"Then how can we go to that cloud kingdom?" A poor farmer without a daughter-in-law couldn't wait to go to the cloud kingdom.

Only in the era of war will there be more boys and girls because of the men who died in the war. In the normal peace era, affected by the idea that men are superior to women, some people living in poverty will drown their baby girls to prevent them from consuming their own family. rations.

Therefore, in normal times, the number of women is less than that of men.

In addition, the rich and powerful always like to take a lot of concubines, and take possession of the few women, which makes it even more difficult for ordinary people to marry a daughter-in-law.

Therefore, most of the poor cannot marry a daughter-in-law, and they can only face the tragic future of losing their children and grandchildren.

The total number of women is limited. For every extra concubine the rich and powerful take in, there will be one more poor man in the world who cannot marry a wife.

This is the so-called poverty of not more than three generations. If a family is poor for three consecutive generations, there is a high probability that the incense will be cut off because it cannot marry a wife. If the incense is cut off, naturally there will be no fourth generation.

Therefore, when the common people heard that the Yunzhong Kingdom was full of beautiful girls, they were all excited, wishing they could go to the Yunzhong Kingdom as soon as possible.

"Every autumn, there will be a fleet of ships to transport the suffering people to the Kingdom of Clouds to enjoy their blessings. Everyone just wait." The storyteller laughed.

There are teahouses like this in many counties and townships in Liaodong, and they have existed since ten years ago, such as Pingting, Xi'an Ping Township and Fanhan Township. There was a legend about the Kingdom of Clouds long ago. The poor people all boarded the royal fleet to "enjoy blessings" in the golden Weaver Girl Island, the Yunzhong Kingdom.
