One day in early October, Wudang Mountain had a clear sky and beautiful scenery.

There are no tourists coming to offer incense in Wudang Mountain today, probably because Wudang had notified tourists three days ago.

At the foot of the mountain, the yellow dragon flag is fluttering in the wind.

Soldiers of the Imperial Guard guarded various road points at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, everyone in Wudang, headed by Xinxuanzi, was present to welcome Emperor Longqing.

This was the first time Dai Daojin saw the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in this world, and he looked over with some curiosity.

I saw a yellow figure on the dragon chariot, stepping on the back of the young eunuch, and got off the chariot. Next to him was a eunuch, and a guard wearing a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife in his hand. Dai Daojin saw that it was not Zhou Ji Cangzhou.

Who is the commander?

Everyone in Wudang stepped forward to greet him, and Dai Daojin also stepped forward.

As he got closer, Dai Daojin took a closer look at Emperor Longqing in history.

Longqing Emperor Zhu Zaihe was dressed in a bright dragon robe, which made him look a little loose.

He is of medium build, somewhat thin, with a pale complexion and bloodshot eyes, and looks like he is overindulging in sex.

Some information about Emperor Longqing flashed through Dai Daojin's mind. Emperor Longqing can be said to be the one with the lowest sense of existence among all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He was preceded and followed by the famous Wanli and Jiajing, and because his reign was only a short six years,

years, so it has almost no sense of existence.

Moreover, according to historical records, Longqing's domestic and foreign troubles before he ascended the throne made him care about the political situation, which had a greater impact on his handling of government affairs after he ascended the throne. After he ascended the throne, he relied on the assistance of ministers such as Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, and Zhang Juzheng to implement reform and reform.

The policy was greatly improved at home and abroad, and was known as the Longqing New Deal in history.

Later, I couldn't do it anymore, because I was addicted to beauty drugs, and I also took these beauty drugs to cheer me up, which led to me being idle in political affairs.

Dai Daojin turned his head and glanced again, secretly thinking that this emperor must have become dissolute, and that's why he looked like his body was hollowed out. Dai Daojin's eyes flashed, this emperor may not live for a few more years.

, after all, Emperor Longqing only served as emperor for six years in history.

Dai Daojin secretly muttered, the genes of the old Zhu family are really good. Although the emperor has a bad complexion, his appearance is not bad, and he looked good before. It seems that the half-bald people in later generations have made the old Zhu family black.

, directly turned Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor, into a horse-faced person.

Dai Daojin was thinking wildly in his mind. On the other side, Xinxuanzi saw Emperor Longqing and went to greet him.

Xinxuanzi bowed his head and said: "People from outside the country Xinxuanzi, bring Wu Dang and everyone to greet His Majesty the Emperor." A group of people behind him followed suit and bowed.

Zhu Zaihe laughed loudly, helped Xinxuanzi up and said: "I came today to offer sacrifices to Emperor Zhenwu for the people of the Ming Dynasty. I hope to bless the peace and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the people. I don't need to be too polite."

Xinxuanzi smiled and said: "The emperor loves the people like his own son, which is a blessing to the people."

Zhu Zaiye smiled and was very happy to hear Xin Xuanzi's praise.

Xinxuanzi said: "Your Majesty, let's go up the mountain."

Zhu Zaihe nodded.

Next to him, Zhou Jicang looked at it, raised his hand and waved, and the brigade of Jinyi guards headed up the mountain to protect them.

A group of people accompanied Zhu Zaihe up the mountain, and Zhu Zaihe admired the scenery of Wudang Mountain as he walked.

Taihe is like a perfect city,

Yuxu looks like Qin Afang.

Nanyan is majestic and purple,

Ganquan jiǔ can be a good choice.

This is the intuitive impression given by the scenery and Taoist temples on Wudang Mountain.

The Taoist architectural complex in Wudang Mountain and the city wall on Tianzhu Peak are more spectacular than the Forbidden City in Tiangong. Nanyan Palace and Zixiao Palace are extremely beautiful. Yuxu Palace is like the reproduction of Afang Palace, which is amazing. And every layout is unique.

There is a saying. For example, entering Xuanyue Gate is a "fairy mountain", and Yuefang has a saying that "destiny is left to God". From Fuzhen Temple, Prince Rock to Feisheng Rock, it also contains the meaning of Zhenwu's attainment and soaring, and the meaning of seeing the big in the small.

But if you say, why is Wudang, a mere monastic place, built so luxuriously? Emperor Zhenwu is not a Buddhist golden body, so it wastes a lot of manpower and material resources?

In fact, if you think so, then you have wronged the predecessors of Wudang. Wudang did not build these buildings with their own money.

It was built on the order of an emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Yes, it was Zhu Di, the "maniac of Taoist temple construction".

If we want to say that Wudang Mountain became a royal family temple and the Ming Dynasty was very popular in advocating Taoism, we have to start with Zhu Di.

Why? Because Zhu Di wanted to become an immortal and made the same mistakes that every emperor would make. Zhu Di admired Zhang Sanfeng very much and searched for him many times.

Zhu Di also wrote a letter to Zhang Sanfeng, saying: "I have admired the true immortal for a long time, and I am eager to personally follow the example." Although "the talent is mediocre, my sincere desire to see him will never be forgotten."

It means that I, Zhu Laosi, have admired Immortal Zhang for a long time and want to learn from you and get close to you. Although my qualifications for cultivating immortals are relatively poor, I am sincere and want to see you day and night.

What's interesting is that Zhang Xianren saw that Zhu Laosi was indeed honest and upright, so he also replied to Zhu Di and gave him a prescription, "Suppressing Desires and Advocating Virtue" and "Clearing the Heart and Reducing Desires". This means that the emperor, you

You must restrain your desires and let the people live a good life. In this way, as an emperor, you will be virtuous. If the people are in good health and live a long life, you will naturally live a long life. It contains the true meaning of cultivating Taoism.

…

Naturally, it was impossible for the emperor to go up Wudang Mountain solely on his feet. After all, the emperor was not a martial arts practitioner and his physical strength was not that good, so after walking for a while, he was carried up by his soldiers.

Zhu Zaiye stood on a platform in Wudang Mountain, looking down the mountain, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, his vision was broad, and he couldn't help but relax, and sighed: "It is really a blessed land of immortals."

Xinxuanzi accompanied us and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. It's because of Your Majesty's wisdom and the peace of the country that this place is possible."

At this time, a Taoist came over, stood beside Xinxuanzi, and whispered: "Headmaster, we are ready."

Xinxuanzi nodded and waved him to leave.

Not long after, Xinxuanzi looked at the sky and said to Emperor Longqing: "Your Majesty, the time has come. Please move."

Zhu Zaiye nodded, looking at the scenery and looking at the scenery, as well as the business of admonishing Emperor Zhenwu.

…

When a leader opens his mouth, his subordinates will break their legs. This saying applies to everyone everywhere.

Three days have passed since Emperor Longqing offered his sacrifice to the True Martial God. The finishing work of these three days has also kept Dai Daojin very busy. With his current status, he does not need to do it himself, but there are some things that Dai Daojin still has to do himself.

Go down and coordinate the overall situation.

Dai Daojin was sitting in his residence on the mountain, sitting on the bed, meditating and practicing. The "Sunflower Collection" was still the third level of perfection. Dai Daojin was not in a hurry to make a breakthrough. He just wanted to do it naturally and it would come naturally.

The true energy was withdrawn from his Dantian, and Dai Daojin opened his eyes. Due to his full energy, Dai Daojin's face seemed to be shimmering with a layer of brilliance and jade.

Dai Daojin got out of bed, took a scripture and sat on a chair to study it.

While I was watching quietly, there was a sudden knock on the door, "dong dong dong".

"Enter."

A Wudang disciple opened the door and came in, bowed and said: "Senior Brother Chongxu, the master has invited me."

Dai Daojin's expression remained unchanged, and he still didn't move his eyes from the book, saying: "Did the master give you any orders?"

The visitor replied: "Junior brother doesn't know either."

Dai Daojin closed the book and said with a smile: "Excuse me, junior brother, I will report back to the leader and say that I will be here in a moment."

The Wudang disciples who came nodded, "Yes." and went back.

Dai Daojin frowned, but he couldn't think of anything, so he didn't bother to think about it anymore. He tidied up a little and left for the Golden Summit.

When they arrived at Jinding, Dai Daojin found that only the leader, Xinxuanzi, was waiting for him.

Dai Daojin stepped forward to greet him and said: "Master, I don't know how to call my disciples to come here. What do you have to say?"

Xinxuanzi opened his eyes, looked at Dai Daojin, and said with a smile: "Chongxu, sit down."

Dai Daojin found a pú and sat down.

Xinxuanzi was silent for a moment and said: "Before Emperor Longqing came, I made a special effort to understand the inside and outside of Wudang and discovered some very interesting things."

After Xinxuanzi finished speaking, he stared at Dai Daojin with cold eyes.

Dai Daojin had no expression on his face and said nothing.

Xinxuanzi suddenly smiled and said: "Chongxu, you are very good."

Dai Daojin lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes, and said calmly: "The disciples don't understand what the leader said."

After hearing this, Xinxuanzi shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this. You are very good. I am very satisfied with you."

Dai Daojin didn't answer.

Xinxuanzi said: "Chongxu, I am old and I don't have many years to live."

"Now there is an opportunity that saves you from waiting these few years."

"You and Qingxu will have a competition in this year's competition. Whoever wins will be the next Wudang leader. The succession ceremony will be held next year."

"Are you willing?"

Dai Daojin raised his head, his expression remained unchanged, his eyes calmly looked at the old man in front of him, and said secretly: Do you want to fight for the last chance for your apprentice?

Xinxuanzi also looked at Dai Daojin quietly.

Dai Daojin stood up, turned around and walked out of the hall.

"Okay" the voice floated in the hall.
Chapter completed!
