Chapter 683 The Carriage
"I'm so tired, the old man of Zhengyi Sect is too shameless."

"What Taoist Hao said is not bad, he did it, and we can't blame Teacher Zhengyi entirely..."

"Brother actually believed his fallacies." Sun Deyu shook his head.

He was walking on the official road to Chang'an, looking weak, but chattering endlessly.

"Since I have benefited from the Zhengyi Sect and do such heinous things, but don't let me blame the Zhengyi Sect, how can it be reasonable? Then if I go in the name of the Quanzhen Sect..."

At this point, Sun Deyu swallowed the word "whoring" that came to his lips, and for a moment he couldn't think of what kind of evil he could commit.

"Anyway, if I have committed something evil, can our Quanzhen sect not clean up the sect?"

Yu Dechen thought about it seriously, and said: "You have committed a lot of things, and I haven't seen my uncle clean up the house."

"Those things are clearly committed by the senior brother... Speaking of which, the senior brother defends the Zhengyi religion so much, is it because he envies them that they can marry wives and have children?"

Yu Dechen shook his head and said, "I'm just saying that Hao Xiuyang borrowed the strength of the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, not Zheng Yijiao."

Speaking of this, Yu Dechen thought of Quanzhen sect's rise in Mongolia after the meeting of dragons and horses, and now Zhengyi sect Hao Xiuyang's annexation of Zhongnan Mountain with the power of Song army... It's exactly the same.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although Sun Deyu kept complaining, he was more open-minded and said helplessly: "Ah, things have become like this, so we have to change the court and join the Zhengyi Sect."

Faintly, there was still some expectation in his eyes.

Yu Dechen couldn't help but sternly said: "Junior Brother, stop talking nonsense!"

Sun Deyu said in a firm tone, "Brother is just pretending, you have wanted to marry a long time ago."

"No."

"It was you who muttered and scolded Zhengyi for teaching, but in the end you accused me of having a worldly idea for no reason." Yu Dechen shook his head helplessly, and said: "I think it is you who imagined that Zhengyi taught those sloppy people to break the precept and eat meat."

"Hey, why stick to the rules? There is no obstacle in the heart, and the world is lenient... Brother, don't ignore me, it's so boring to walk such a long way, let's chat."

At this point, the team in front stopped.

Sun Deyu stood on tiptoe and looked forward, but couldn't see what happened. After a while, several soldiers came over and called them to move forward.

"Brother, just call us two, is that person? Li Xia."

"Ah."

"It's really a sinful debt. I even hid in Zhongnan Mountain and didn't dodge it."

"Let's say a few words..."

Sun Deyu actually closed his mouth after seeing Li Xia's figure. He hid behind Yu Dechen, poked his head out for a while, and rubbed his eyes.

Four and a half years later, he still remembers the fire at Chongyang Temple in Kaifeng.

At that time, Li Xia was just a wanted spy, but today, he has become such a great person.

Sun Deyu didn't know what Li Xia's status was now, but he was the one who saw this change with his own eyes, and was greatly shocked.

"This trouble is getting bigger and bigger..."

~~
Li Xia arranged for Wu Qian to get into the carriage, turned around and saw Yu Dechen, and greeted him casually.

"You are the third person I met today who tried to kill me."

He has a different status now, and an understatement can also give people a sense of oppression.

Yu Dechen has seen the surrounding soldiers step forward one after another.

He hastily replied: "Back then, I went to Qingfu County to kill the commander-in-chief. It had nothing to do with Quanzhen Sect. Pindao is willing to bear it alone."

Sun Deyu quickly poked his head out from behind, and said with a smile: "I've seen the commander in chief, but my senior brother is a bit dull... Senior brother, the commander in chief is joking with you."

Li Xia smiled and said, "Since we met, come and talk to me about the Ultimate Quanzhen Sect."

Sun Deyu hurriedly nodded in response, looking at the carriage with straight eyes, as if he really wanted to get on it.

From Zhongnan Mountain to Chang'an, it's not far, and it takes five hours to walk without stopping, including rest on the way, they have been on the road for a whole day.

"Marshal, I don't know if I can get on the carriage and say that even if you are poor, you can be considered as the marshal's old friend."

"Alright."

Yu Dechen felt that this was really inappropriate, the teacher's family had gone through a catastrophe, yet this junior brother was able to ride in the same carriage with the people who surrounded Chongyang Palace.

Besides, if people are worried about his assassination...

"Come on Daoist Yu too."

"Master, this man is an assassin..."

"It's okay."

Yu Dechen turned his head and glanced at his fellow apprentices who were still walking on the official road, and reluctantly got into the carriage, and when he sat down, he felt really comfortable.

Li Xia glanced at him and asked, "Is riding in my carriage easier than traveling?"

Yu Dechen felt ashamed of his senior brother and didn't know how to respond.

But Sun Deyu laughed and said, "The commander-in-chief speaks so well."

He is 17 years old this year. He looks small and stature, but his eyes are quite clever.

"Then don't make any detours." Li Xia said: "Talk about my arrangement for Chongyang Temple, what you talked to me today, I hope Quanzhen can teach me this carriage, but only some people will be able to get on it, do you understand? "

Sun Deyu faintly felt a murderous aura coming towards his face, his face turned pale with fright, and he replied, "Poverty Dao...Of course Xiao Dao likes to ride in a carriage."

Yu Dechen was slightly taken aback, and then recalled the previous conversation with Sun Deyu, only to realize that this little junior brother probably had the intention of "taking a carriage".

Sun Deyu said again: "However, Xiaodao is just a small disciple, but he can't be the master of the masters and uncles."

"You don't need your uncles and uncles."

"Ah, this..."

"It was you who told me about Qiu Chuji's meeting with the dragon and horse back then, and then Taoist priests were exempted from all taxes and duties. In these years, a large number of civilians have joined Quanzhen Sect, thus exempting them from exorbitant taxes."

Sun Deyu hurriedly said: "Xiaodao also came from a poor background, and he was lonely since he was a child. It is because of this that he survived... Oh, and the brother is also."

"That's why I talked to you." Li Xia said: "The Quanzhen Sect has indeed appeased a large number of civilians, and at the same time it has also widely distributed ultimatums, built palaces and temples, established four sects, and gathered Taoists. It has flourished for more than [-] years."

He knew very well that Quanzhen Sect still had a great influence in the current world. People from all walks of life in the north, as well as literati and officials believed in Quanzhen Sect, and even some temples hung its banner.

This is a huge monster, if he dares to destroy Quanzhen Sect immediately, half of the hearts of the people in Guanzhong will be destroyed.

"However, your good days are coming to an end. The prosperity and decline have always been the same since ancient times."

Sun Deyu said: "Master said that we lost the last debate on Buddhism and Taoism. The Xiaodao felt that it would be good to help Da Song to appease the people. Master Qi also wanted to have a good talk with Zhenren Hao..."

"Don't tell me about Qi Zhicheng." Li Xia said: "His generation experienced the most prosperous time of Quanzhen Sect. No matter how much I give them, they will not be satisfied, so I will not meet them."

Yu Dechen said: "The commander-in-chief enters the town, if he is disrespectful..."

"Even if I uproot the Chongyang Palace, it won't disturb the hearts of the people in Guanzhong. Don't forget, I'm just the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, and my emperor of the Song Dynasty has always respected Taoism. Since his journey to the south, four generations of kings have worshiped Maoshanzong and Youli Tianshi. Then For the common people in Guanzhong, what is the difference between Quanzhen Sect and Zhengyi Sect?"

Yu Dechen was taken aback for a moment, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

In fact, this matter is very complicated. It is impossible for Li Xia to uproot the Quanzhen Sect. Among other things, there are more than [-] Taoist priests on Zhongnan Mountain alone.

A little carelessness can really cause turmoil.

Just scare him.

If Qi Zhicheng had been face to face, he wouldn't be so easily intimidated, but at this moment the expressions of the two little Taoist priests in the carriage changed drastically.

"What I want is very simple." Li Xia said: "Chongyang Taoist priests must do things for me, but they will not have privileges and preferential treatment. From now on, ordinary people will pay as much as they pay in taxes, and they will be treated equally, understand?"

Both Yu Dechen and Sun Deyu nodded to show that they understood.

They felt that Li Xia's request was not high, but they didn't understand what this "equal treatment" meant to the Quanzhen Sect in Guanzhong.

Li Xia was quite satisfied with their attitude and nodded.

He didn't like to take care of religious matters, and taught Hao Xiuyang to handle them more.

In view of Hao Xiuyang's advanced age, Li Xia also needs to train some people himself as soon as possible, so as not to lose control in the future.

"You guys are indeed able to stabilize the world, and you also have a lot of miscellaneous knowledge. Based on these two points, I plan to divide the Taoist priests of Chongyang Temple into two factions."

"Two factions? Like Master Changchun who divided Quanzhen Sect into eight factions."

"Maybe, a group of missionaries will go to the Western Regions, Mongolia, Tubo, Tianzhu and other places to communicate with the locals..."

Sun Deyu asked: "Give us another chance to argue with the bald donkeys?"

"Almost, in short, the focus is on the spirit and comforting people's hearts. This is faith."

Since Li Xia handed over this matter to Hao Xiuyang and Asha, she didn't care much about it.

"Let's talk about the other faction, give full play to your miscellaneous studies, practice alchemy and medicine, criminal law and calligraphy, medical divination and battle formation, astronomy and geography, the principles of the world, and the study of things to know... This is the study of things."

Yu Dechen couldn't quite understand it.

All he knew was that Chongyang Palace was occupied by veteran Taoists under Li Xia, so he suddenly represented Chongyang Palace, had a talk with Li Xia, and unknowingly agreed to work for the current Lord of Guanzhong.

By the side, I can only hear it in a fog.

Because he thought that Li Xia was going to integrate the Quanzhen Sect with the Zhengyi Sect, but now he felt that this was not the case.

Sun Deyu replied honestly: "The commander-in-chief said, Xiaodao understands."

"understood?"

"Investigating things to gain knowledge is the combination of Confucianism and Taoism."

Sun Deyu didn't care what he thought, and just followed Li Xia's wishes.

""Book of Rites" says that 'extending knowledge lies in the investigation of things, and then knowing the objects'. All things grow by the law of nature, so self-cultivation is the study of things.”

"Very good, the little Taoist is indeed wise."

Sun Deyu smiled embarrassingly, rubbed his hands and asked again: "Can I ask the commander in chief, the 'faith' and 'gewu' factions work for the commander in chief, but they don't know this... this..."

Li Xia knew what he wanted to ask, it was nothing more than to understand the treatment.

He talked to this little Taoist priest but it was easy, and he talked casually.

Sun Deyu quickly understood and struggled a little.

Evangelizing in remote areas will obviously have authority in the future, and maybe he can become a person like Changchun Daoist, but...stay in the prosperous Zhongzhou, with this promising and powerful Song Shuai as his backer, want to eat stir-fried vegetables, how can he? Not more comfortable?
"Then...Xiaodao wants to carry forward this knowledge of knowledge for the general, I wonder if it is possible?"

"can you?"

"Don't worry, Marshal, the miscellaneous studies just mentioned, such as alchemy and medicine, criminal law calculations, medical divination battles, astronomy and geography, and trails are all dabbled in. If you study it again, you will definitely be able to learn it well."

Li Xia is satisfied with Sun Deyu.

Hao Xiuyang is old, and now he has greater ambitions, even if he won't leave the workshop behind, he will definitely be distracted.

Sun Deyu was young and savvy, and as a registered disciple of Quanzhen Sect, he also had enough contacts to cultivate and cultivate, and he might be able to take over this mess in the future.

……

In another carriage, Wu Qian lifted the curtain and glanced at the Taoist priests on the official road, his eyes filled with thought.

Recently, he has seen everything that happened after Li Xia entered Guanzhong.

Marrying princes, expanding the shogunate, benevolent to the people, paving bridges and opening roads, increasing prestige, integrating sects, building more workshops... and so on. Although he can only see the clues from some small things, he has already felt the power of this Shu. The keynote of handsome work.

It doesn't look like a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty.

There is no evidence, and even Wu Qian, because all this is indeed a stable situation and beneficial to the people, came to help.

I just don't know what the imperial court thinks...

　Today's Chapter 2 will be later, I will try to find time to adjust it, and adjust the update time back~~ Please ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month, thank you~~
