People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 238 Buying and Selling Immortals, Let's Make Gods

Empress Ma and Zhu Biao looked at each other.

Immediately the former burst out laughing:

"I'm a woman who doesn't understand, but the libretto is very nice and catchy, just like a folk song...

Emperor, we are people who have passed through troubled times. The Northern Yuan Dynasty is in decline, and various folk songs are sung by the people!

It can be seen that the song itself is very suitable for spreading!

This song by Yijiang is very catchy, it's really good! "

Zhu Biao added:

"This ballad is a complete story. In addition to explaining the origin of the Medicine King Taishang, it also points out the source of the vaccination method. This is to bind the Medicine King Taishang to Longhu Mountain to prevent others from eating the Medicine King Taishang. benefit!
And he did a few points in the ballad!
First, elevate the status of the father, which is tantamount to binding the father and the king of medicine. risk of intervention.

This is a win-win situation between Longhushan and Father Huang, and it also looks like the style of the younger brother of the Zhang family!
Second, in an easy-to-understand way, it introduces the authority of the King of Medicine to the people, saves the suffering, relieves the disease, and eliminates the disaster.
The younger brother of this family is planning to turn the Medicine King Taishang into a composite of Amitabha and Avalokitesvara! "

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed:

"You are all right, this kid looks like a Taoist, but he is actually a devil!
Treating immortals as a business, what do you say about this method? 】

It's just his tricks, don't you think they look familiar? "

"Water Army..."

Zhu Biao finally understood why the emperor was interested in watching Zhang Yi's performance.

This is clearly what the emperor wanted to learn about the navy's tactics and how to manipulate public opinion.

Although Zhang Yi does not hide his knowledge in this area, but if he really wants to use it well, he needs to learn more.

"That kid has a lot of crooked ways, Huitan wants to take the medicine Wang Taishang, he will face Longhushan's wrath!

Back then, "Lao Tzu's Hu Jing" was an offense from Taoism to Buddhism. Now if Buddhism wants to offend it, it depends on how Taoism will respond?

Anyway, they fight back and forth, whoever wins and who loses, we all have nothing to lose! "

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's Chinese New Year, you men are still thinking about tricks!"

Empress Ma interrupted the conversation between the father and son at the most suitable time.

……

By the time Zhang Normal returned to Qingxin Temple with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, the night was already getting dark.

The bustling crowds during the day have all dispersed.

Zhang Yuchu, who was almost tired and lay down, was packing his things.

After being reminded by Zhang Yi, Lao Zhang also paid a lot of attention to Zhang Yuchu's guidance. He used to only think that his eldest son was smart and would definitely be a talent in the future.

However, he ignored the guidance of Zhang Yuchu's character.

Now, Lao Zhang specially asked Zhang Yuchu to learn to do some things, and he made rapid progress.

Seeing Lao Zhang coming back, Zhang Yuchu complained quietly:

"Father, you are finally back..."

"Well, where's your brother?"

Zhang Yuchu pointed to the backyard: "My brother locked himself in the study, wondering what he was writing?"

Lao Zhang touched Zhang Yuchu's head:

"You've done a good job, don't feel bitter, this is the responsibility of the Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain!"

"My brother is not suffering..."

"Some people work hard, and some people work hard. You can't work hard like your brother, so naturally you can only work hard! Besides, you are the future master of Longhu Mountain! You should have suffered all this..."

"I don't want to be a master anymore, let my younger brother be..."

"Your brother doesn't like it!"

Zhang normal finished speaking with a smile, turned around and went to the backyard.

Zhang Yuchu: ...

The old guy finally told the truth, the position of the heir to Longhu Mountain was really his younger brother who didn't want him, so he had the chance to be the heir.

Boom boom boom!
Zhang Yi was writing hard in his study when there was a knock on the door outside.

Yea!

Lao Zhang pushed open the door and rushed into the room with the cold wind.

Zhang Yi put down his pen and said:
"Father, are you back?"

Zhang normal nodded, closed the door, sat on the chair next to Zhang Yi and said:
"There are a few things I want to ask you for your opinion!"

"You say!"

"I was in the palace today, and I encountered something. Master Huitan of the Tianjie Temple wanted to give the loess I collected in the Northland to the Tianjie Temple for salvation..."

Zhang Yi was taken aback when he heard this, isn't this the standard peach picking?
He patiently listened to Lao Zhang's ins and outs, but smiled.

The trip to the North was a concept created by Zhang Yi himself. Although when he designed the script, he never thought that the emperor would let his father go north.

But going north has great political significance.

Walking on behalf of the emperor brought great benefits to Longhu Mountain.

But it is not that Longhushan did not provide benefits to the emperor. The Zhang family's reputation accumulated for hundreds of years will not be reduced much because Longhushan is in the south.

Fame is the popular support, and Zhang normally travels in the north, just like the Kong family promotes simplified Chinese characters.

It was an act of bringing favor to the emperor and Daming.

So from a logical point of view, the old Zhang's family is worthy of their own efforts if they can get this honor.

But the monk of Tianjie Temple jumped out and took over the matter of superseding.

Isn't that to take credit?

Is it tolerable or unbearable, can this matter be done by him?

Zhang Yi didn't care about the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

He didn't even consider himself a Taoist priest.

But everyone has a position, Longhu Mountain is his home, and he proposed the trip to Beidi.

If you want to pick peaches, ask him if he agrees!

"I'm afraid our Majesty would at least encourage this kind of behavior, if not instigate it!"

Zhang normal put forward his views, this is where he is worried.

If Master Huitan of Tianjie Temple's behavior was ordered by the emperor, it is only reasonable and reasonable.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang made him a celestial master, Zhang Normal is really a little afraid of Lao Zhu's thoughts and methods!
Zhang Yi lowered his head to think, but shook his head:

"I don't think so about this matter, just look at the emperor's behavior later on, father!

It's more because he is happy to see the development of this matter, but he said that the emperor asked Tianjie Temple to pick your peaches, but I don't believe it, boy! "

"why?"

"Because neither you nor Huitan are worthy of the emperor's targeting!"

What Zhang Yi said made Lao Zhang very embarrassed.

He knew that the emperor looked down on him, and Zhang Yi owed his current status to some extent.

It's one thing to know, but quite another to say it.

"Actually, don't make things too complicated, what kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang?
He wants to take away your celestial master position, in one sentence, he wants to hold up Dragon and Tiger Mountain, that's just one sentence!

In the emperor's heart, whether it is Longhu Mountain or Tianjie Temple, they are just tools that the emperor needs to maintain the imperial power.

The emperor's mentality, the focus is on balance!
But the emperor's focus will be on balancing the north and the south, balancing the Huaixi Group and the Eastern Zhejiang School,

He doesn't have so much energy to balance the small contribution of Longhushan!
To put it bluntly, Longhu Mountain has been tightly controlled by the emperor since Longhushan lost its position as a celestial master!
Dad, you did it with all your might, didn't you also seek that little fantasy? "

Lao Zhang was pointed out by Zhang Yi that he felt the most pain in his heart, so he couldn't help but fell silent.

"The position of celestial master means that the emperor holds the gate of our life in Longhushan. As long as this gate of life is still there, Longhushan will be full of flowers...

As for the Temple of Heaven..."

Zhang Yi smiled and said:

"Actually, don't take it seriously...it's not worthy of Lao Zhu sacrificing Longhushan to elevate him, and what's the point of elevating him?
The so-called balance is nothing more than supporting the weak and suppressing the strong!
Since the Daoist struggle at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, as soon as the sects of the world were promoted, the Buddhism accounted for at least seven fights, and the remaining three fights were divided between our Daoist sect and other messy sects!
In this case, what is the meaning of suppressing us to the emperor?
As far as Quanzhen Taoism and Longhushan's unbelievable virtues are concerned, do they still need to be suppressed? "

Zhang Normal was blushed by Zhang Yi's words. As the leader of Taoism in the former dynasty, his son's words were equivalent to pointing at his nose and scolding him.

But there is nothing wrong with saying that, he has indeed made too little achievements in the position of Taoist leader.

Not to mention between the sects, even the Yongshou Palace, he didn't clean it up.

"Don't think about those who have or don't have, the sky has changed, and the rules are not the rules of the previous dynasty!

Actually, you and Huitan didn't understand this matter!
The Mongols used to use it in the new dynasty, and they will suffer!

Mongolians have no culture, but they respect religion!
Therefore, regardless of Buddhism, Taoism, or Confucianism, which scholars refuse to recognize, the Mongols support it as a religion!
Therefore, the right to teach is in the former court, which is very popular!

But in the new dynasty, that's a thing that can't be put on the table! "

"So you think the emperor didn't do this?"

Zhang normal let out a sigh of relief, if it was Zhu Yuanzhang who suppressed him, then he would be really depressed.

"Why suppress it, you came back with the loess from the ancient battlefield, you deserve all the glory!

Not rewarding meritorious deeds is also a taboo for the king!
But in the future, if the emperor wants to put the loess in Tianjie Temple, it's fine!

In fact, to put it bluntly, our Daoist sect is not very up to date..."

Zhang Yi's expression of hating iron for nothing made Lao Zhang inexplicably guilty.

The so-called deep responsibility of love, Zhang Yi no longer waits to see the Taoist sect, after all, he is also one of his own.

"Tell me, if it comes to supersession, does our sect have any rituals that we can do?"

Lao Zhang really wanted to say categorically that there was, and the Daoist sect did.

But in the middle of the sentence, he instantly understood what Zhang Yi meant, not whether there was any, but whether it could be compared to Buddhism.

The so-called success is influence!
That is indeed not the case!
Zhang Yi had an expression that I knew was like this.

In fact, this is also very normal. When it comes to religion, the third brother is really professional, and he can't compare.

From the overall situation, Zhang Yi thought it was a good thing.

Chinese people are not suitable for playing religion in their bones, because the underlying logic of Chinese culture still focuses on reality.

Pragmatism is precisely the most important quality of the Han people, and the quality that makes the Han people stand at the pinnacle of the world.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. Based on the development of Han culture, Taoism also naturally pays attention to the present world. The so-called longevity...

It is the romance that belongs exclusively to the religion of the Han family.

But the same is true, in terms of attractiveness to ordinary people, Taoism often seems not friendly enough.

Although some changes have been made in the Taoist sects of later generations, the gap in theory has led to the fact that they are indeed inferior in competition. This is reality!

"As long as it's about saving lives, we definitely can't do it, so even if the emperor handed over the loess to Tianjie Temple, you can't say anything?
However, I have a grudge against that host, if this is handed over to Tianjie Temple, I will not be angry with myself!
So we can't use our weaknesses to touch other people's strengths, so even if you want to keep the loess, you have to put it another way..."

Zhang normal asked:

"How to say?"

"Feng Shen!"

The simple word Zhang Yi fell on Lao Zhang's ears, but it was like thunder.

The so-called enlightenment, nothing better.

Zhang Yi added:
"If we want to save heroic spirits, then we must be inferior to Tianjie Temple, but why do these heroic spirits need to be rescued? Transcendence is the pity of gods and Buddhas for all living beings!
It is mercy from above!

But the heroic spirit of my Han family is a hero in life, and a hero in death!

They don't need anyone to pity them, we Longhushan should give these heroic spirits the aftermath, it should be to give them the status they deserve, not the so-called salvation..."

What Zhang Yi said made Lao Zhang's blood boil, and he shouted hello loudly!

Why didn't he think of it?

Rather than trying my best to prove to the emperor that the Taoism is no worse than Buddhism, it is better to change your mind,
Start with what you are good at.

Conferring the gods is much easier for the Daoist sect to do it.

Zhang normal looked at Zhang Yi with mixed feelings.

No wonder the emperor wanted to run to him, not to mention Zhang Yi's ability to see the future.

Even his ideas are wild and unconstrained, often giving people unexpected solutions.

"Do you think the emperor will agree?"

"Eighty percent!"

Zhang Yi gave the answer in his heart. Although he had never met Zhu Yuanzhang, he could probably guess the meaning of what Lao Zhu did.

The political significance behind this incident is the bridging of North and South.

Use the deeds of the ancestors to awaken the Han people in the North and South to identify with the Han nationality.

Those heroes are heroes.

Whose plan is more suitable, as long as the emperor is not stupid, he will choose it.

Of course, Buddhism is not impossible to confer gods.

It's just that everyone has their own business scope, just like Chaodu, everyone is the first to think of Buddhism.

Taoist sects are more comfortable doing things like conferring gods.

As long as the father proposes first, Huitan is guaranteed to be caught off guard.

"Okay, okay! Next time that guy Huitan will do this again, Pindao will just hate him like this!

This bastard, the old man has been displeased with him for a long time!

I, Zhang Normal, ate soil in the Northwest, endured the cold in North China, and ran around with the army in Henan...

I won't allow other people to get their hands on the merits that I have won with my life up and down Longhu Mountain!"

"Father has been with Chang Yuchun for a while, but he has a little more heroism!"

Zhang Yi laughed, not forgetting to make fun of Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang was in the north and often spent time in Chang Yuchun's army, Zhang Yi knew this.

Zhang Normal is good at everything, but according to Zhang Yi's evaluation, he used to have too much immortal energy and not enough gangster energy.

Good people are bullied by others, this sentence makes sense wherever you put it.

Lao Zhang may not be a kind person, but he is definitely not a tough person.

Zhang normal doesn't know if this little guy is praising him or hurting him?Just temporarily treat this kid as boasting about himself.

He was praised and a little embarrassed.

"It's not me who is stingy, Si Huitan is really too much, I can bear this matter, but the other thing is really unbearable!
This monk wants to steal our family's medicine king too! "'
