Naturally, Yun Chu would not say anything about how the world would never be the same after he turned the gears of fate.
There are powerful people everywhere, especially Di Renjie, a gentle person. Even if he is reduced to a beggar, he must be the overlord among beggars. Not only does he have enough food and clothing, but he can also be as beautiful as a cloud.
After the spring outing in Longshou Plain ended, Yunchu learned that the reason why Pei Wanying appeared in Longshou Plain was specially arranged by Wu Mei.
It specially created opportunities for Li Hong and Pei Wanying to meet, and then developed into a good couple, Qin Se and Ming.
Of course she knew that Li Hong didn't like Pei Wanying, but the royal couple never became husband and wife based on love. More often, they were partners rather than husband and wife.
Li Hong creatively split himself into two people. Wu Mei, who didn't know what split personality was, thought it was pretty good and even thought her son was very smart.
Yunchu didn't pay too much attention to the affairs between Li Hong and Naha. After all, Li Hong had his own things to do, and Naha also had hers to do after wearing the crown.
May 8th will be the day when Naha will be enthroned. Before that, Xuanzang and the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty need to equip her with a complete team to manage Buddhism.
From now on, the monks of the Tang Dynasty will be managed by Naha. However, within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, she can only manage monks and bhikkhunis. Without the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, Naha will be the king of all monks and bhikkhunis.
, she even had the power to establish Buddhist bases in various Jisu states in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhi's purpose is very simple, that is, to let Buddhism, as a pioneer in Jisi Prefecture, carry out basic enlightenment. Then, the imperial court will quickly follow up and establish prefectures and counties in these Jisi Prefectures for final assimilation.
Of course, Li Zhi's mind is very small. It is impossible for a Buddhist family to be alone in nature. Therefore, the Taoist family also has such power.
This is why Daomen didn't react at all when Naha was enthroned in Chang'an.
Sun Shenxian has long been detached from the outside world and is indifferent to these common things in the Taoist sect. Therefore, people like Li Chunfeng are currently jumping up and down and preparing to select a young man who looks like Naha in the Taoist sect to obtain the royal family.
recognition, and finally has the same power and status as Naha.
As the country expanded, religion took precedence. This was Li Zhi's big game around the Tang Dynasty.
Yunchu thought this plan was actually quite good.
People's cognition always starts with religion. If they identify with the religion of the Tang Dynasty, they basically identify with the country of the Tang Dynasty.
There are many uncertain factors in religion, so Li Zhi is very strict in controlling Buddhism and Taoism in the country, and even controls Buddhism and Taoism to the point of suppressing it. However, in Jisi Prefecture, in the process of exploring outside
In the region, they adopt a supportive attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism.
In other words, they can expand wildly outside the territory, and they can even take domestic monks to form pioneering groups outside the territory without any problem. However, at home, Li Zhi issues ultimatums to Buddhist and Taoist sects every year, and Taoism will not
More than a thousand people.
Especially for the number of young monks and Taoist priests, the restriction is very strict. Once it is discovered that the number of young monks and Taoist priests is wrong, the temple and Taoist temple where they are located will be destroyed.
Li Zhi has been planning this matter for ten years, especially after the army wiped out the three eastern kingdoms, he began to make arrangements. Now, the real results are about to be produced.
In this process, the real reason why Naha became the undisputed candidate for the queen of Buddhism is that Naha is a barbarian girl, but what she does is to eliminate barbarism in Buddhism and localize Buddhism.
Similarly, Taoism has the legend that Laozi came out of Hangu Pass to convert the Hu people. Therefore, since Taoism is the native religion of the Tang people, Li Zhi believed that they could accept the teachings of the Hu people and incorporate the teachings of the Hu people into the Taoist classics.
In this way, Taoism will expand outward and Buddhism will be restrained, and a balance will eventually be formed at a certain point.
Yun Chu admired Li Zhi's behavior extremely. When he was in the Western Regions, after he finally understood Li Zhi's actions, he flattered the emperor in his letter to Liu Rengui, which was not untrue. Some of them
It's true admiration.
An emperor should have the emperor's overall layout, big methods, and long-term vision. As for whether these practices are good for the Tang Dynasty, it will take a long time to verify.
At least, at this moment, Li Zhi's open-mindedness and majestic imperial demeanor have really been shown.
In particular, the concepts of localizing Buddhism, converting Taoism into barbarians, and converting Confucianism into refined concepts are definitely far-sighted in Yun Chu’s opinion.
It is conceivable that in the long years to come, monks and Taoist priests will walk outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They can gnaw fruits in the jungle with the Southern Barbarians who have just come down from the trees while shaping the simplest world view for them.
You can also set fire to gnaw animal meat with the savages in the desert, tell them about heaven, earth, the origin of gods and men, and instill the most basic social outlook into their empty brains.
This is a terrazzo effort that requires time, verification, and action.
In the near future, Confucian officials will go to Naha's Buddhist kingdom to participate in its management. After the Taoist sects in the East have opened up their own Taoist celestial world, once their followers gather in large numbers and gather into cities, Confucian officials will also go to manage it.
This is the most ideal state.
Yun Chu thought it was worth a try. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty was now so powerful that it had no friends. Even if the reform was messed up, it could still afford the losses.
Of course, the prosperity of the people of the Tang Dynasty is the real first priority. A poor and impoverished Tang Dynasty cannot maintain its export status for a long time, and it does not meet the people of the Tang Dynasty's yearning for a better life.
In March of the fifth year of Xianqing's reign, the emperor promulgated a new reign name, named Longshuo!
The word "longshuo" comes from the word "longhuangshuo desert" in "Xuan Emperor Shu", which means the desert land in the north.
Taking advantage of the fact that the second day of February had just passed when the dragon raised its head, Yun Chu was willing to think of the two characters "Long Shuo" as the dragon raising its head.
It was the first time that the giant dragon of the Tang Dynasty raised its head from the Central Plains and began to look at the new world again.
Li Zhi's dragon roar was so unpleasant that Yun Chu, who went to court, had the urge to cover his ears.
In this beautiful spring, the Turks who had been submissive rebelled again.
Ashina Buzhen Khan of the Western Turks, who was originally loyal to the Tang Dynasty, finally came to an end after serving as a khan for eleven years. While eating mutton, his stomach was pierced by a sharp sheep bone.
After vomiting three liters of blood and passing away,
Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian actively prepared to divide the remaining Western Turkic tribes and designate grazing areas for the Western Turks. As a result, when each tribe went to their respective pastures, a big change suddenly occurred.
Those Turks who were designated as pastoral areas did not advance according to the areas designated by Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, but dispersed...
In the process of dispersing, about 20,000 Turkic tribes disappeared. When Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian found out the whereabouts of these disappeared tribes, they found out that those lost tribes were captured by the Turkic chief Ashinadu.
The branches and Li Zhepo were gathered together. In order to prevent revenge from the Tang Dynasty, they attached themselves to Tubo.
Li Zhi only announced the beginning of the first year of Longshuo here, but over there, Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhexian rebelled and still attached themselves to Tubo.
This made Li Zhi feel embarrassed, so not long after Yunchu and the others started their morning session, they heard Li Zhi's dragon roar with a broken sound.
Today's Tang Dynasty, which has had no enemies for several years, will certainly not be kind to the rebels.
After Li Zhi finished paying his respects, a large group of military generals came out one after another and asked Li Zhi to fight with their wat boards in their hands.
"Your Majesty, if I wish, I can send troops to exterminate this beast."
"Your Majesty, please give me 20,000 troops. Within a year, we will surely put down the rebels and return them to the capital with their heads."
"Your Majesty, I don't need 20,000 troops. Please give me 10,000 troops. After joining the Anxi Army, your Majesty's worries will be relieved."
"Your Majesty, I don't need to lead troops from Chang'an. I only need to hand over the Anxi army to the command of the veteran. The veteran will march day and night with his own soldiers. In eight months, I can behead those rebellious ministers and traitors."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. An old minister with an old servant, a boy, and a horse can convince Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhexiang to surrender. In peacetime, there is no need to use swords or guns..."
Wen Wen used her shoulder to nudge Yun Chu, who was dozing, and whispered, "How about you go and ask for a fight?"
Yun Chu rolled his eyes and said: "The price has reached the point where one donkey, one old servant, and one boy can quell the Turkic rebellion. What do you think I should say now?
Are you saying that I don’t need to leave the capital, but find a higher place in Chang’an, and I can kill Ashina Duzhi and Li Zhexiang with just one fart?”
Wen Wen nodded and said, "People nowadays really dare to say anything."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "This is what happens when a country is strong. In the court, they are as timid as mice. Once they are released, they will all be man-eating tigers.
There hasn’t been much military merit to be earned in the past few years. Now that you finally have a chance, why don’t you rush forward with all your might?”
Wen Wenwen whispered: "You said that Ashina Buzhen Khan died of mutton bones after eating mutton all his life. Is this credible?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "This is the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty, so it is naturally trustworthy. Those who are good at swimming will drown in the water. This is the truth."
She smiled softly and said, "Why do I think it's because Lao Xue and Lao Pei held the position of Ashina Buzhen Khan for too long?"
Yunchu said sternly: "The gentleman is the one who sees through it but doesn't tell it."
Wen Wen said again: "Tell me, could this be done intentionally by Lao Xue and Lao Pei to get themselves back to Chang'an?"
After all, as long as these people and their tribes are killed, there will not be many Western Turks left, and by then, they can return with peace of mind."
Yun Chu looked at the messy court hall, pointed at the red-faced veterans who were vying for the right to dispatch troops, and said, "Those people are really pitiful."
Wen Wenwen stood on tiptoes and took a look and said, "Mr. Ying, Mr. Su didn't say anything. He probably figured it out."
Yun Chu shook his head and laughed.
When the emperor deliberately cultivated a new generation of generals, they had already lost the qualification to lead the army after the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.
The emperor left behind four prime ministers and a large group of veteran generals, and it seemed that he wanted to invite these people to study the situation in the Western Regions with him.
Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie were naturally not qualified to participate in such a high-level meeting. They left the court early and stood at the gate of Tai Chi Palace holding a teapot, drinking tea and watching the sunrise in Chang'an.
As soon as the sun comes out, the city of Chang'an is filled with sunlight. Standing here, you can clearly see how the city is covered with sunlight little by little.
