Chapter 707: He is the most eye-catching person in the Confucian Temple and the Martial Arts Temple; the cycle of cause and effect leads to unhappy retribution
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. Those civil servants and military generals who sacrificed their lives for the country in their era and were worthy of the respect and memory of future generations, Li Shimin certainly would not give up their incense.
Li Shimin even built two civil and military temples throughout the Tang Dynasty.
The Confucian Temple was the original Confucius Temple. Li Shimin also posthumously named Confucius "King Wenxuan", so the Confucian Temple was also called the Temple of King Wenxuan; while the Wu Temple was rebuilt from the "Tai Gong Temple", and Li Shimin also made a tribute to Taigong Jiang Ziya.
After his posthumous title, he was given the title "Wucheng Wang", so the Wucheng Temple was also called the Wucheng Wang Temple.
Of course, not only Confucian sage Confucius and Taigong Jiang Ziya are enshrined in these two civil and military temples.
Of course, there will be supporting sacrifices. In the Confucian Temple, Confucius is the first sage, and only Yan Yuan is the first teacher. Then twenty-two Confucian scholars from Zuo Qiu Ming and below 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, and Zheng Kangcheng
, Zhuge Kongming, etc...
In addition to these Confucian disciples, there is also a Baijia Palace in the Confucian Temple... But this Baijia Palace, said to be a Baijia Palace, is actually not complete... After all, the components of the Baijia Palace are too complex, and in addition
Nowadays, hundreds of schools of thought have gradually disappeared since Dong Zhongshu... Even the Legalists and military strategists who are still active in the court are not pure, and are more or less influenced by Confucianism.
Moreover, the Confucian Temple was rebuilt from the Confucius Temple, and the sages from 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 Wu 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 signs of relapse, although they were both recuperating in the mansion and did not show up.
.But since the person is not dead, of course he cannot be on the list.
In addition to the ten sages of the martial arts temple, Li Shimin also named sixty-four famous generals from all dynasties who were also worthy of sitting on the side of the Taigong in the martial arts 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, etc.
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 did have 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... Even Guan Yu, who had already become a god in heaven, felt it.
The 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 have died fighting outside Chaos are 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 Temple and the Martial Temple at the same time, and no one has any objection.
However, Zhuge Liang's incense body was not born in a Confucian temple or a Wu temple. Because he has always had his own "Wuhou Temple". Emperors of all dynasties would repair the Wuhou Temple, and many literati and poets also
They would all spontaneously go to Wuhou Temple to pay homage and pay homage to Prime Minister Zhuge.
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...
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's like "When you don't know which god to worship, worship Bodhisattva, it's absolutely right..." This sentence is also applicable to Guan Yu, especially in the army and chamber of commerce.
Green Forest and the major gangs in the mortal world are places where Guan Yu has the strongest popularity.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sometimes, even Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, shouted that it was outrageous that he, the God of Wealth... actually felt pressure from Guan Yu in this aspect.
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.
I don’t recognize the title of Jialan Bodhisattva.
It can be said that Guan Yu is not only the God of War, but also the God of Wealth. He is responsible for life, blessings in imperial examinations, curing diseases and eliminating disasters, exorcising evil and avoiding evil, punishing rebellion, inspecting 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 no one can match him.
But when he saw Guan Yu in the martial arts temple, he was so frightened that a general who had just given birth to a divine body of incense and fire almost collapsed... This man was none other than Lu Meng who 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, Xianghuo Lu Meng was also on the verge of tears, and said to himself: 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, of course he had his own considerations when he took action. After all, it was Lu Xun who burned the 700-mile camp.
Uncle Liu, who avenged Guan Yu, was almost completely wiped out... At this time, the only one who could stand in front of him was Wu Xia Ameng, who dared to behead Guan Yu back then.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to become famous. 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 was defeated and returned. The elite men who had accumulated their strength for many years were exhausted...it can be said that their vitality was severely damaged. The reason why Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition was blocked again and again was,
There is no shortage of 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. He disguised himself as a commoner and launched a sneak attack on Jingzhou... This was not what a man did. Besides, he only took advantage of Guan Yu's absence in Jingzhou to carry out this vicious plan. After this first... After two
When the army is at war, it is the biggest blow to the people.
Crossing the river in white clothes, Lu Meng asked his soldiers to dress up as common people, and his warships to dress up as merchant ships... thus deceiving the sentry in Jingzhou and successfully attacking Jingzhou.
From then on, because the military could not distinguish the authenticity of the people, it was inevitable that they would take some drastic actions and adopt some extraordinary measures to ensure their own safety.
Of course, the main reason is that after Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes to capture Jingzhou, captured Guan Yu in Maicheng, and killed Guan Yu, he did nothing else.
If he could conquer Shu Han in one go, it might be a different situation.
However... Lu Meng died not long after taking Guan Yu's head back to Jianye.
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 Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes and attacked Jingzhou, or even if he captured Guan Yu alive in Maicheng and brought him back to Jianye, there would still be 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 wanted to do so.
He knew full well that he had to make good use of Guan Yu and was willing to take a piece of meat from Liu Huangshu's hands...
But Lu Meng cut off Guan Yu's head with a single blow. This blow not only completely ignited Liu Huangshu's anger, but also caught Sun Quan off guard.
Because of this sword, apart from Guan Yu's head and Liu Bei's revenge, Soochow could not gain any benefits... and even saw a disaster coming.
So 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 catties of gold... But before the title was issued, Lü Meng became ill, and then Lü Meng was killed by Sun Quan.
He placed it in his inner hall, arranged for imperial doctors to diagnose and treat him, and also invited Taoist priests to pray for Lu Meng.
But the final result was..."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 are probably 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 very suspicious of his subordinates, but when he knew that Liu Bei would send troops to attack the state of Wu, he still wanted to kill Lu Meng first...it 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 has 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 the soul of Guan Yu.
The emperor's spirit of crape myrtle came 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 long... and in the end Guan Yu's
The soul found an opening and killed Lu Meng in Sun Quan's 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.
And Prime Minister Cao was equally heartbroken when he saw Guan Yu's head... After all, Cao Cheng's admiration for Guan Yunchang is also known to the three countries. It's a pity that Luo Hua is ruthless... Yunchang is devoted to Guan Yu.
The eldest brother Liu Bei can only live up to Prime Minister Cao's good intentions.
In this regard, Prime Minister Cao said more than once, 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 a trace of himself in his heart. Otherwise, he could have captured or killed him when he was in Huarong Road...but he just let himself go.
Perhaps it was because of Yunchang's death in battle that not long after, Prime Minister Cao also died of illness.
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 in 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.
