Chapter 1698 The wind is trembling! (Third update!)
Happy Tuesday everyone!
…
Baiyun Temple is one of the ten large jungle temples of the Quanzhen Taoist sect.
According to legend, at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Qiu Chuji went to the snowy mountains to be hired by Genghis Khan. After returning to Beijing, he lived in the Taiji Palace. Because of his Taoist name, Changchunzi, Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty ordered the Taiji Palace to be renamed Changchun Palace.
After Qiu Chuji emerged, his disciple Yin Zhiping bought and built the lower courtyard on the east side of Changchun Palace, now Baiyun Temple, and built Chushun Hall in the temple to house Qiu Chuji's coffin. It was called the ancestral courtyard of the Longmen Sect and the Immortal Qi Temple.
Haoran, since the day it was built, has been a place where good men and women make and fulfill their wishes.
Since ancient times, the Taoist priest who presides over Baiyun Temple has been called a real person (living god) by the world. It is said that he is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, Yin and Yang Bagua, and fortune telling.
Taizu had heard of it before, so after seeing Taoist Du, he smiled and said he would pay his respects to the contemporary great master.
Taoist priest Du looked at Taizu, who was handsome and majestic and in high spirits, and returned the greeting: "I am sincere and frightened when I pay homage to the True Dragon Emperor."
The people standing nearby smiled kindly after seeing them say this.
After the two people sat down and chatted for a while, the old Taoist saw that there were still many documents on Taizu's desk that had not been approved, so he knew that the old man was very busy, so he asked to leave.
Taizu smiled and asked: "Taoist Master is here, don't you have anything to say?"
Taoist priest Du pondered for a moment and gave Taizu three sentences: "First, important matters depend on Zhou Enlai. Second, it is appropriate to enter Zhongnanhai when in power. Third, 8341 fate arrangements."
At that time, Taizu did not ask the other two questions in detail, but looked at the old Taoist priest and smiled: "Why do you want to enter Zhongnanhai?"
The old Taoist master understood, so he explained in detail: "The Forbidden City's royal power has declined, so it is not suitable to enter. Zhongnanhai is the place for birth, just like 'seeing the dragon in the fields on the 2nd of the year...'"
In fact, there is a folk saying that because Taizu's zodiac sign is grass dragon, and the architectural pattern of the Forbidden City is square, which is equivalent to a big "mouth", if Taizu's grass (grass is wood)
) dragon runs to the Forbidden City, it will form a 'trap', which is equivalent to a 'trapped dragon'.
But Zhongnanhai, as the name suggests, is naturally a place with water, and dragons are completely at home in the water, so it is very suitable for Taizu and his elders to rule here.
Therefore, Taizu listened to Taoist Du's words and arranged the execution of the central government of New China in Zhongnanhai. According to his instructions, he never went to the Forbidden City again.
Although these legends are just legends, they can only be determined from these legends as to why Taizu chose Zhongnanhai as his ruling place.
So since 1948, Zhongnanhai has become the center of China's highest authority, and all decisions related to the country and the world are issued from this place.
Currently, after abnormal phenomena occur frequently around the world, Zhongnanhai has once again gathered the nine most powerful people in China: the No. 1 leader and the other eight members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau, gathered together.
Although there are only nine people in the conference room, the final decisions of these nine people are related to the livelihood of 1.6 billion people in China. Every decision they make can affect everyone, just like the topic they are discussing now
:Since yesterday (that is, December 17th), abnormal phenomena have occurred frequently around the world, especially super strong earthquakes in neighboring countries, which have made human beings appear so insignificant in the face of powerful natural disasters.
As the most populous country in the world, what should China do in this turbulent situation?
These people sitting here may all be materialists. Even if they temporarily cannot understand the abnormal phenomena in the current world, they will not connect them with religious beliefs, let alone recognize the date of December 21, 2012.
, is the end of mankind.
However, when the United States, Russia and other world powers have set their sights on the Maya New City in the Western Region Province, it is absolutely unrealistic for China's top leaders to ignore the existence of the new city.
In fact, the Chinese people, who are least interested in "doomsday theories" in the world, have begun to believe in the greatest prophecy in history when these abnormal phenomena occurred but have not yet been resolved.
The top leaders can ignore this prophecy and dare to say that this is pure nonsense. The original support for Chu Yang to build the new city was just to stimulate the backward economy of the Western Region Province.
But the top leaders also know that a government recognized by the people must not persist in materialism under the current situation, but should focus on solving the problems that plague the people. So even if everyone does not believe that the end of the world will really come true, what should we do?
Stabilization and calming the current panic among the people are the main topics they convened today's Standing Committee meeting.
As the No. 1 leader, Chu Yong sat in the center of the conference table. After everyone was silent for five minutes, he slowly said: "I believe everyone should be very clear about why we are holding this meeting today. Then.
Due to the strong earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan, abnormal phenomena have frequently occurred in various parts of the world in the past thirty hours, which strongly caters to the statement on the 21st. Now, in addition to Africa, more than 100 other places in the world
Every country is racking its brains on how to spend the 21st safely... As the top leader of China, we cannot avoid it."
After a pause, Chu Yong continued: "According to the survey this afternoon, most provinces in our country have seen a rush to buy food, daily necessities, especially winter supplies, which in disguise has made social security in various places very difficult.
, as well as many problems caused by panic."
Since the strong earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan, and frequent abnormal phenomena occurring around the world, China, which had been relatively calm before, immediately set off a crazy buying spree.
Especially winter anti-cold supplies have become a first-class hot commodity, because everyone is afraid that when that day comes, the world will fall into a terrifying dark ice age. Even if these things are not of much use, it is still important to buy them in advance.
Some, isn’t it just a moment to live a little longer?
Everyone knows that the biggest feature of a rumor is not how false it is, but how quickly it spreads.
In the past, when China was suffering from the ravages of SARS, there was a strong panic buying trend. During that period, the prices of items that were usually "unsaleable", such as salt and isatis root, could be said to have changed three times a day, like crazy.
of rise.
But at that time, people were looting like crazy, but social security did not suffer any impact. After all, the government took effective and decisive measures to strictly control the development of the epidemic.
But this time it is different. The end of the world is not a plague, not even comparable to a major earthquake. After people see the tragic scene of the strong earthquake in Hokkaido, they will naturally have a realistic sense of "replacement", and then rise.
I was extremely frightened and wanted to prepare everything I needed before that day came.
In the past, when only table salt and isatis root were out of stock, people went crazy. What’s more, this time there are dozens of types that need to be equipped?
And the most important thing is: Nowadays, people hold the idea that if they can buy more, they can live one more day, and they don’t care about how much money they spend... Seeing that their life is almost gone, who will care about money?
Let's put it this way, starting from noon on the 17th, 30% of the adult citizens who woke up rushed into the stores to buy necessary items: as long as they can be used in the dark, cold, and damp
The items were all sold out.
Items such as candles and matches that are not commonly used in modern life, but the inventory of major Chinese manufacturers can supply people all over the world for at least one year. It can be said that they can supply as much as they want to sell, and there is no need to worry about running out of stock.
Can be sold... But the key question is that currently all citizens are in great panic and everyone is preparing for themselves and their loved ones. Who will transport these things?
As a result, these most indispensable items can no longer be found in supermarket stores, which inevitably causes greater panic.
They were all said to be chaotic evildoers, some restless elements, and some cult organizations. At this time, they also stood up at the right time and started to rob in gangs... Social security soon became like that in Japan and other countries.
That led to huge chaos.
One of the questions at the current meeting held by the Political Bureau is aimed at the current situation.
Of course, in fact, everyone knows very well: in addition to discussing how to maintain public security, the most important point of this meeting is Maya New City.
As long as the government can maintain normal operations, hold the gun tightly in its hand, and have a powerful state execution machine composed of two million soldiers and millions of armed police and police, it is completely impossible to stabilize social security and eradicate those lawless elements and cults.
It's a piece of cake, no problem at all.
But, how to solve the problem of Mayan New City?
It can be said that the birth of the Maya New City was promoted by the Chu Clan: the Chu Clan gave Chu Yang an opportunity to settle his "people", and the new city also played a huge role in stimulating the new city's economy.
At that time, the relationship between the new city and the country was like a cousin and a prostitute, each getting what he wanted.
But now, with the frequent occurrence of abnormal phenomena in the world, countries around the world have set their sights on Maya New City.
Although the big guys here don't believe in those Mayan prophecies, they have long known the details of these prophecies, and they also know that western China and Africa are the last safe places for the end of the world.
Africa...Africa is too far away, so I don't care about it for now. In fact, even if I try to take care of it, people won't listen to it.
However, the Mayan New City is located in China, and the new city's leader, Mr. Chu Yang, seems to be the doomsday protector believed by the Mayans.
When the doomsday theory had little influence, Mr. Chu, the patron saint, was just a clown in the eyes of these big guys... But when the market for that prophecy seemed to be growing more and more, growing in a geometric form
, the importance of this clown has also increased.
Whether Chu Yang can lead all mankind to get through that day safely, this boring question will not be put on the table of the Standing Committee. Everyone is only concerned about one question now: that is, when the minds of all countries in the world turn their attention to the new city, what will happen to the new city?
Who should govern the new city?
If we follow the rules, the new city was founded by Chu Yang, so it would naturally be under his jurisdiction.
But what I said above is just based on convention. When something unexpected happens, convention will no longer work, right?
