Fang Jun is not a historian, and has never studied the history of the Tang Dynasty. There is no way to know how much of the folk legend about His Majesty Li Er died violently because he served the elixir refined by Tianzhu monks, and how much of it is false.
.
However, His Majesty Li Er was either injured or contracted an illness during his eastern expedition to Goguryeo, resulting in extremely poor physical condition, and died soon after returning to Chang'an.
If we look at it now, it is entirely possible that if His Majesty Li Er was still injured or sick during the Eastern Expedition, as he was in history, and continued to take elixirs with excessive heavy metal content after his return, damaging his foundation and dying...
In fact, Fang Jun was quite puzzled that His Majesty Li Er was taking the elixir now.
This emperor used to not believe in immortality, immortality, and sainthood. He once laughed at Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han. The former wanted to seek immortality but was tricked by Xu Fu. He ordered him to lead thousands of boys and girls to carry a large amount of supplies on a huge ship.
The fleet went into the sea to get the elixir, but the elixir was not found and no one came back. The bamboo basket was in vain.
The latter was even more stupid. He begged the gods to marry his daughter to an alchemist. But when he found out that he had been deceived, he beheaded him in anger. The reputation of a peerless hero with great achievements was tarnished and humiliated.
Sent...
Why can we now make a 180-degree turn and order the monk Nara to sleep in the sleepy state?
Refining elixirs at Jinbiaomen?
There is really no trace of this huge change in mentality, and it is puzzling...
His Majesty Li Er was very unhappy and scolded: "Naluo Suo Po Me is a highly enlightened monk. How can you allow you, an arrogant and ignorant stick, to slander you like this? You don't know something. Na Luo Suo Po Me is a master of Buddhism. Every time he gives an edict,
See, even if you talk about Buddhism, it can make me deeply enlightened, and it always has the effect of enlightenment! You must not despise it!"
He favored Fang Jun, but he also respected the Indian monk. At present, Fang Jun's attitude towards Na Luo Sua Po Mei worried him, lest the stick stick would become unhappy one day, or be incited by someone to look for Na Luo.
I have to warn you in advance about the trouble in Suo Po Me.
Fang Jun recalled that when he first met the monk from Tianzhu at the palace gate that day, the guy looked at him unkindly and said: "Your Majesty, you should tell the monk that he is fine. I naturally don't bother to pay attention to him, but
If you offend Wei Chen, Wei Chen will not care whether he is a monk or not, serious or not!"
"Presumptuous!" His Majesty Li Er scolded: "You are already a grown man, can you please temper your bad temper? I know that many courtiers have complained to me many times, saying that they usually dare not deal with the Ministry of War for fear of offending me.
If you're not quick, you'll come back and smash up the government office... Tell me, are you a court official or a rogue? That's nonsense!"
Princess Jinyang on the side picked up the wine jug and filled the wine bottle in front of Fang Jun. She glanced at Fang Jun with her watery eyes, and her smile was rippling.
This brother-in-law is really a strange person in the court. People always yell and reason, but when they come to him, if they can't reason, they just use their fists...
Fang Jun glared at her, "The adults are talking, children, please don't interfere."
Princess Jinyang rolled her eyes playfully and curled her lips, "You were very grateful when I rescued you just now."
Fang Jun had nothing to do with her, so he had to ask His Majesty Li Er: "I don't understand something. Taoism emphasizes the unity of nature and man, and the harmony of yin and yang, so they use rare things from the world to refine elixirs for consumption, hoping to form a golden elixir inside.
Echoing the heaven and earth, and then reaching the realm of unity between heaven and man, flying to immortality in the daytime, and becoming immortal. But Buddhism talks about reincarnation and cause and effect, abandonment, transcendence, and the emptiness of the four elements. Buddhist practice is to restrain selfish desires and purify yourself.
Practicing asceticism to curb human nature, but how is it related to alchemy?"
After saying these words, His Majesty Li Er was immediately taken aback. He looked Fang Jun up and down and asked in surprise: "Have you studied Taoism and Buddhism?"
In fact, Fang Jun explained the essence of Buddhism to the point in just a few words.
He himself thinks that his understanding is not bad. Although he did not believe in the teachings of immortals and Buddhas in the past, he highly admired Taoist health-preserving techniques. Therefore, he has been exposed to Taoism for many years and has read countless Taoist classics. Now he firmly believes in Naluo Suo Po Mu.
, you will naturally have a deeper understanding of Buddhism.
However, even though he was a believer with good understanding and had in-depth contact with both Buddhism and Taoism, it was only after Fang Jun said these words that he suddenly woke up and felt that this was the core of the essence of the two families.
But how come such a stick-stick, who doesn't believe in Buddhism or Taoism and doesn't even bother to read a book, can have such understanding?
There is no justice...
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "No, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, nor demons. People are born, old, sick and die, and the moon waxes and wanes. These are the numbers of the sky. However, the sky is moving vigorously. A gentleman will never stop improving himself, and man will conquer the sky!"
Whether Taoism or Buddhism, it is just a sustenance for the human spirit. It is excellent to rely on it to cultivate one's moral character. However, it would be extremely stupid to be addicted to it and make it become the criterion for one's own conduct and conduct in the world.
His Majesty Li Er was refreshed and slapped the table and said: "The saying 'man can conquer nature' is very true! Birth, old age, illness and death are the numbers of heaven. How can we blindly follow the numbers of heaven and not resist? In this way, we can only rely on it.
Walking in the sky, how is it different from an ant? I hold the constitution of heaven in my mouth and hold the sun and moon in my hands. I am the son of heaven. I will definitely transcend life and death, jump out of reincarnation, and be among the immortals!"
Fang Jun: "..."
What's going on?
We are here to advise you not to be obsessed with the art of immortality, and to tell you not to believe in the deceptive dregs of Buddhism and Taoism. How come it actually seems to make you more certain that you are correct in refining elixirs and taking medicine?
Is this how you explain "man can conquer nature"?
Just as he was about to persuade him again, he saw His Majesty Li Er waving his hand, holding out his chopsticks to pick up the mutton, and rinsing it in the boiling soup. Then he dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth to chew. After swallowing, he picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass, saying
: "I have heard these words countless times over the past few days. There are people who are sharper than you in words, there are people who are more firm in attitude than you, and there are people who are even willing to die to remonstrate with you... Please stop talking nonsense here, is it possible?
My ears get calluses when I hear these words in the palace, why can’t I hide and be quiet when I come to you?”
Fang Jun sighed, raised his glass and said: "In that case... OK, Wei Chen thinks that His Majesty is wise and wise. Even if he is temporarily obsessed with ridiculous things like immortality, given time, he will definitely be able to understand it... Wei Chen Jing
Your Majesty, I wish you a cup of wine. I hope that your Majesty will personally conquer Goguryeo and be invincible! As long as Goguryeo is included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, plus the Protectorate of Anxi, the Protector of Annan, and the Protectorate of Beiting, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be surpassed.
The Han Dynasty has become the most extensive dynasty in history, and your Majesty is one step closer to surpassing Qin Shihuang to achieve the hegemony of 'one emperor through the ages'!"
His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard with one hand and held the bottle with the other. Longyan said happily: "You bastards like you should be a sycophant. Saying such pleasing words is not more harmful than saying those offensive words of advice all day long.
Okay? Of course someone will say those things, including you."
Fang Jun's face darkened...
We are naturally suited to flirting with each other, right?
What if the history books really write me down as a sycophant...
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong! Not to mention Wei Chen's achievements in poetry and poetry, but only in terms of government affairs, Wei Chen donated a glass workshop to enrich His Majesty's internal funds, and planned the 'Eastern Datang Company' to promote the marketing of goods in the Tang Dynasty.
In the world, we should not dare to underestimate the merits of enriching our country and its people! Furthermore, wherever we go, Lin Yi, Japanese country, Silla, and the humble ministers, not only will our Tang Dynasty show its power outside the territory, but all the people of other countries will be bathed in the majesty of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
, and opened up a huge market. The annual increase in commercial taxes in the Tang Dynasty was more than tens of millions of dollars. Your Majesty clearly knows that humble ministers are capable ministers! They are allowed to be civilized and military, and they are omnipotent in military and political affairs. If you look through the history books, you will find the capable ministers in ancient times.
How many are as good as Wei Chen?"
Fang Jun quickly retorted, saying that he must not let his reputation as a sycophant become established. We have gained a foothold by relying on our talents, okay?
Princess Jinyang smiled so hard that her eyebrows curled up, she covered her little mouth and giggled loudly.
Is there such a shameless person in the world?
Even bragging about oneself can be so shameless...
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but laugh, and scolded with a smile: "You still allow civil and military officials to be omnipotent in military and political affairs? Haha, I don't know whether I am capable of serving as a minister, but there is no one as shameless as you in the past! Having said that,
You have been sitting in Lishan Mountain all day, keeping company with seed crops like an old farmer, but many ministers mistakenly thought that I sent you to do this, so they complained to me more than once, saying that it was delaying their business."
