Turning over the soft paper and beautifully printed Taiping Dao history book in his hand, Li Chunfeng's expression was very subtle.
Unexpectedly, I never expected that in Beihai City, which is under the jurisdiction of Taiping Road, I could see the detailed history from the rise of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty to the Xuanwumen Incident at the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Even though it is only biased towards Qingzhou, or a detailed history book compiled from the perspective of Qingzhou Taiping Road, it is still quite remarkable.
You must know that in the Central Plains of this world, just like normal history, those who are qualified and capable of compiling history books, besides the government, are aristocratic families with amazing power.
In other words, the government and the aristocratic families are actually one family. The so-called royal family is just the leader recommended by the aristocratic families. They are actually the same class.
The content of history books compiled by the government and aristocratic families can be imagined to be biased.
Li Chunfeng was originally from a wealthy family, so he naturally knew what the official history books and the history books compiled within the wealthy families looked like. Historians had little interest in the truth of history. On the contrary, they hoped to use compiled history books to achieve a unified ideological field.
In other words, it is an ideological monopoly that allows future generations to move in the direction they want, rather than letting a hundred flowers bloom.
Therefore, the history books compiled by the official government and major aristocratic families are often biased, and there are also many records written in Spring and Autumn style.
The same is true. Even Li Chunfeng, who has advanced cultivation and is a direct descendant of a long-standing sect, looks at the two counties in the Taiping Dao area with a hint of rejection and disdain.
These are all the result of the external environment and the cultivation of the knowledge learned!
Fortunately, he is an authentic Taoist monk and believes in the Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty. He has not formed the stubborn family concept in his heart. Before coming, he had the teachings of his teacher Yuan Tiangang and what he saw on the road. At this time, he was in the Beihai City Bookstore.
When I read the history books compiled by Taiping Dao, I didn’t feel that I was irritated and couldn’t stand it because it conflicted with my own ideas.
Just looking carefully at the contents of the thick history book in his hand, he was greatly surprised.
It is so detailed, and there are not many other thoughts mixed in. It just honestly records every major event that has happened since the war between the princes in the late Han Dynasty, as well as the small affairs related to Qingzhou. It is also described in great detail.
It is no exaggeration to say that anyone who has read the history books issued by the Taiping Road District will basically have a clear and profound view of the history of the previous hundreds of years.
Among them, the suppression of the Cao Wei Empire and the several conquests of the Jin Dynasty were clearly explained.
Li Chunfeng now understands why when his teacher mentioned that Cao Wei's Fu Army was famous all over the world during the Cao Wei Dynasty and frightened Xiaoxiao's Fu Army, why he bluntly said that Cao Wei's Fu Army was just a counterfeit variety.
It turns out that during the heyday of the Cao Wei Empire, Emperor Wei was very high-spirited and was naturally dissatisfied with the existence of the Taiping Dao territory within his territory, so he directly sent a Fu army to suppress it by force.
As a result, a fierce conflict broke out with the Fu army controlled by Taiping Dao. In the end, they were so disgraced that they had to withdraw honestly. As a result, the Taiping Dao territory became an area beyond the control of the Cao Wei Empire.
Fortunately, the Taiping Dao leader has always been honest and disciplined. Apart from developing the territory of the two counties alone, it has not had much impact on the rule of the Cao Wei Empire. Later, the senior officials of the Cao Wei Empire could only hold their noses and accept this situation.
Until the fall of the Cao Wei Empire, there was no fierce conflict between the two.
Taiping Dao did not take advantage of the turmoil in the Cao Wei Empire to expand its territory, but still concentrated on developing itself, and was not affected at all by the chaotic situation outside.
This fact makes Li Chengfeng, who is a successful cultivator and is about to become an immortal, quite satisfied and feels that it is in line with his own wishes.
When the Jin Dynasty was established, the situation changed again.
The Jin Dynasty was different from the previous Cao Wei Empire in that it was truly formed by a coalition of aristocratic families. The emperor of the Jin Dynasty did not have much power and was tightly restrained by the aristocratic families in the world and was unable to move.
However, the world's aristocratic families cannot tolerate such alien beings as Taiping Taoist leader.
From the detailed introduction in the history books, Li Chunfeng saw some clues and was equally surprised. Although he had been mentally prepared before taking the long-distance train, he was still shocked when he guessed the facts.
The most important reason why the world's aristocratic families are so afraid and even want to kill all the Taiping Dao leaders is the various talents that the Taiping Dao leaders have continuously cultivated.
These talents are not controlled by the family at all, and there is a lot of discussion. Even if you want to do anything, you have to worry about the fierce reaction of the Taiping Tao leaders.
Besides, these many talents trained by Taiping Taoist leaders are not weaklings with no strength, but elites with all-around civil and military talents.
If we really want to care about ability and means, the talents cultivated by these Taiping Dao leaders may not be as good as the elites of the aristocratic families in terms of specialization, but their comprehensive abilities are far beyond them. This is intolerable.
In other words, from the Taiping Dao history book in his hand, Li Chunfeng was surprised to find that the main reason for the so-called domination of the empire in the early and middle periods of the Cao Wei Empire was not that the generations of Cao Wei gentlemen were wise and martial, but that there were a large number of people in the military and civilians in the court and central government.
Taiping Dao leads the talents trained to help.
Li Chunfeng knew that the monarch of the Cao Wei Empire at its peak was nothing more than a middle-aged man.
But in his hands, the Cao Wei Empire reached its peak state, which was much more glorious than the heyday of the Han Dynasty. The Cao Wei monarch who only looked like a middle-aged man was only slightly less famous than the First Emperor!
Unfortunately, from then on, the monarchs of Cao Wei gradually got closer to the aristocratic family and began to reject the talents trained by the Taiping Taoist leaders. They even had a fight with the Taiping Taoist leaders, and the country's power declined rapidly until the dynasty fell.
The reason for this situation is not that the power of the Cao Wei Empire declined rapidly, but that as the Cao Wei monarch's control over the army declined, the power of the aristocratic families above the court rose, and they quickly occupied the resources that originally belonged to the empire and the people, and finally caused the
The empire's finances collapsed and the people were in dire straits, which naturally opened the path to the dynasty's collapse.
The Cao Wei Empire remained in ruins for three hundred years, but the alliance of aristocratic families that absorbed its nutritious flesh and blood exploded in strength. They joined forces to put down the chaotic world and supported the representatives to establish the Jin Dynasty.
At this time, the Family Alliance will naturally not allow the Taiping Dao Leader to continue to exist.
The talents continuously cultivated by the Taiping Dao leader have seriously threatened the foundation of the Family Alliance, shaken their monopoly on power and knowledge, and may even replace them. How can they be welcomed by the Family Alliance?
Therefore, in the Taiping Dao history book read by Li Chunfeng, the Jin Dynasty, which was already innately complementary to the alliance of aristocratic families, actually conquered the Taiping Dao leader in Qingzhou three times.
As a result, the Jin army, which had completely lost a powerful unit like the Fu Army, lost most of its strength after three defeats in three battles.
The disadvantages of the family alliance appeared at this time. When there are advantages, everyone will naturally compete for the first place. However, the alliance is suffering heavy losses. Naturally, each family can only take care of their own interests first. As for whether the Jin Dynasty can continue to maintain, how can they
care?
Isn't there a saying that a dynasty with an iron-clad aristocratic family has a long history, and the change of dynasty will not affect the status of the aristocratic family anyway. Naturally, they will not continue to fall into a big hole like the Jin Dynasty, which has suffered serious loss of vitality and is about to be unsustainable.
Invest resources to sustain your life.
Then, the dynasty, which was already inherently deficient and whose royal authority was almost zero, collapsed completely after just one hundred years.
It is reasonable to say that the demise of the Jin Dynasty was the result of the Taiping Taoist leaders.
Seeing this, Li Chunfeng silently closed the thick book and sighed softly.
Taiping Road Ling is a magical place!
At that time, the talents trained by Cao Wei Empire in Weijiahai joined the army. Over the hundreds of years, I don't know how profound the Taiping Taoist leaders have accumulated.
It’s scary just thinking about it!
I wonder if the current Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty knows this and what he thinks in his heart?
Putting down the book, Li Chunfeng had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. The leader of Qingzhou Taiping Dao was indeed too special, as if he should not have appeared at all.
He was currently in an ordinary inn in Beihai City, and the desk beside him was piled with various books.
At the same time, a clear and clear voice like a radio was playing in the room, which was broadcasting the major and minor events within Taiping Dao. I listened with great concentration.
I casually pulled out another book, "History of Taiping Dao Cultivation", and slowly opened it and read it carefully.
Taiping Road is really a magical place. It is like a chronicle of spiritual practice, and there are also various interesting practice anecdotes that are occasionally recorded in this book.
He was quite surprised at the time that books like this could be easily purchased in a relatively large bookstore in Beihai City.
At the very least, he knew that in the Zhengyi sect, there were also classics that recorded the major events and minor affairs in the Central Plains cultivation world. However, such classics were the core information of the sect. Only direct descendants and senior elders could record them when their cultivation reached a certain level.
Qualified to view.
But in Taiping Road, all major bookstores with a full range of books can sell such books, and the prices are not high, even ordinary people can afford them.
I can only say that the senior leaders of Taiping Road are really generous!
In this book, which is similar to the chronicle of the Qingzhou spiritual world, the infinite scenery of the Yellow Turban period is described in detail.
According to the book, the Yellow Turban period can be said to be the most glorious period for Taiping Taoist masters.
At that time, Fu Tao was the mainstream in the Central Plains cultivation world. The Yellow Turban Taoist Academy had one million Taoist teachers and nearly 100 million Taoist teachers in reserve!
At that time, the rune instruments developed by Taiping Taoists could fly in the sky, speed on land, and ride waves in the sea. There was almost no obstacle to these rune vehicles in the world.
At that time, the Yellow Turban collar was extremely prosperous, popular education was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and all kinds of talents emerged in an endless stream. The students who graduated from the martial arts school must at least be at the level of a third-rate military general.
Students who graduate from Fu Dao Academy must at least have the ability to be a junior peak Taoist master!
With rich materials, prosperous culture, prosperous commerce, and prosperous talismans, the Yellow Turban collar is almost like a fairyland...
