Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

@@卢羽口narrated, the story of Confucianism and Taoism went from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period to the Great Han Dynasty, and even broke out the Yellow Turban Uprising, which is very religious and related to the "conflict between Confucianism and Taoism" uprising!

In detail, during the Warring States period, it was not Taoism that competed with Confucianism, but Mohism...

The founder of Taoism, Lao Tzu, was born in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He once served as a historian of the Zhou Dynasty. The promotion of "Tao" was carried out by the Chen family after the son of the Chen family went to Qi State. Qi's theoretical basis.

The formation of Taoism is the primary school of Jixia School in Qi State. This school "adopts the goodness of Confucianism and the essence of the method of picking names", is full of tolerance, and can live in harmony with Confucianism.

Confucius also often asked Laozi some questions, which is enough to show that... the early Taoism and Confucianism were harmonious.

The turning point appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.

In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty learned the lesson of the Qin Dynasty's violent reform and death.

Coupled with the decline of people's livelihood in the early Han Dynasty, the idea of ​​"Huang Lao Wuwei" derived from Taoism was used as a strategy for governing the country...During this period, Taoism became the mainstream academic of the Han Dynasty.

However, after the two dynasties of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, the national power has gradually become stronger...

After Emperor Wu succeeded to the throne, he was determined to forge ahead, and the Taoist thought of "inaction" seemed a little conservative, and he could only use Confucianism to embellish the legal system.
Gradually, Confucianism became the new ideology of the Han Dynasty, while Taoism was outside the official school...

Lu Yu carefully told Zhang Lu the stories and events in between.

Zhang Lu knew part of it...

Zhang Lu was unfamiliar with the other part. He frowned and listened carefully...

He is very interested in this topic.

Lu Yu's words continued: "During the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the dismissal of hundreds of schools and the dominance of Confucianism constantly squeezed the hope of Taoism's rise. Naturally, Taoism refused to give up and will come back to power!"

"In order to cater to the emperor, during this period, Taoism began to combine alchemy and fairy arts, trying to teach the emperor to feel the heavens. For example, "Tianguan Calendar Baoyuan Taiping Jing" was published at this time, but it is a pity...In the powerful Confucianism' Under the theory of the divine right of kings and the induction between heaven and man, the emperors of all dynasties did not pay any attention to Taoism at all! Confucianism, which is full of elements such as disasters and induction, is still the ruling thought of the great Han! The dispute between Confucianism and Taoism is in this round ...The Taoist school is completely defeated!"

call…

The time point in Lu Yu's mouth has run through the entire Western Han Dynasty, and Zhang Lu exhaled deeply, full of emotion.

This section, he knows...

It is precisely because of the fruitless efforts of countless Taoist ancestors that his grandfather Zhang Ling changed his name to Zhang Daoling and came to Heming Mountain in Bashu to preach.

Here is far away from the Central Plains, the infiltration of Confucianism is not so strong, and the people believe in witchcraft... This gives "Tao" the most fertile growth space.

really…

When Lu Yu changed the subject, he turned to Wudou Mijiao.

"If you can't go up, you can go down...During the period of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, a student named Zhang Ling found that the Taoism he was good at was not valued, so he simply gave up his official position and went to the land of Bashu...There are many barbarians here, and they worship witches and ghosts. , and lack of a wealthy family, the penetration of Confucianism is poor, and the public security is not good, so he changed his name to Zhang Daoling, saying that he was born in the period of Emperor Guangwu, and he was a descendant of Zhang Liang, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. the Taoist sect.”…

"All participants have to pay five buckets of rice first, and then they can enjoy the teachings of talisman books, talisman water to cure diseases, and talisman to exorcise evil spirits... and the land of Bashu has really been governed to a certain extent under such enlightenment of Taoism, and even Now...the third Celestial Master, that is, the "politics and religion are united under Zhang Tianshi's governance!", Zhang Tianshi is the master of Tianshi Taoism and Zhengyi League. No one knows better than you whether what I said is true or not Already!"

Said so much in one go...

Lu Yu took a sip of the teacup and took a sip... He glanced at Zhang Lu from the corner of his eye...

At this time, Zhang Lu's eyes released only the word "shock". He just felt... Lu Yu is too scary. He not only understands "Confucianism", but also understands "Tao", and understands the entire Zhengyi League. , Tianshidao, and the development of the Five Dou Rice Religion
law.

No wonder the saintesses of the Five Dou Rice Sect will give up their original plans because of him, and even... "Women's University is outward"...

This Prince Wei has this magical power and this charm!
He understands so well...

Talking to him, there is a feeling that... the whole body is exposed, and no secrets can be hidden.

after awhile…

Zhang Lu shook his head, "As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince who is good at attacking the heart and has insight into everything. The Crown Prince taught me and knows the history of Confucianism and Taoism in detail! So... His Highness wants to use this story to convince me to believe and be forthright. Did the 30 Five Dou Mi Cultists surrender to Wei?"

"What else?"

Lu Yu replied with a smile, "How much choice does Zhang Tianshi have? At that time, it was different from your grandfather who established the Tianshi Dao in Heming Mountain. Zhang Jiao, another wave of protesters, established the Taiping Dao in the Central Plains and instigated the Yellow Turban Uprising... in an attempt to overthrow The rule of the Han Dynasty used this as a basis to recapture what was lost by Taoism, but the result? Confucianism is too powerful... For so many years, Confucianism... has already established a clan system. As long as they share the same hatred, Taipingdao has no chance at all? "

"Today's Great Wei is stronger than the former Han. There are millions of soldiers and horses. The world is ten, and Wei has taken nine of them... Does Zhang Tianshi think that what the Taiping Dao failed to do back then, the Tianshi Dao can do in Da Wei? Are you there?"

This…

Zhang Lu's face darkened slightly, "Is His Royal Highness threatening me?"

"No..." Lu Yu shook his head lightly, "I am helping Tianshi Dao, and I am also helping Tianshi Zhang..."

Lu Yu got up slowly, and he walked to the door with his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the sky outside the tent.

"Wei will eventually replace Han... What Taoism lost in Han, I can guarantee that it will be regained in Wei..."

call…

Zhang Lu breathed out, his face became more serious and solemn. "Are you planning to make this celestial master believe the words of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Lu Yu didn't answer Zhang Lu directly. He continued to sigh with emotion: "The exclusive Confucianism of the Han Dynasty made Taoism unable to lift its head. The same Confucianism of the Han Dynasty supported too many aristocratic families and great families... These are the things that made the Han Dynasty The key to the success of the empire's state affairs. The Great Wei cannot follow in the footsteps of the Han, and it is not advisable to only respect Confucianism. Let a hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend, and let the cultural world prosper. This is my original intention as the Crown Prince of the Great Wei!"

Speaking of this, Lu Yu turned around, "Of course, I can't guarantee that the way of heavenly masters will definitely be the best in the world where a hundred schools of thought contend, but what I can promise you is that Dawei will not set up any obstacles to preaching. And it will allow Tianshi Taoism to preach in the Central Plains and develop believers... Taoism is on the same level as Confucianism!"...

"And the Great Wei will guide and supervise each school to a certain extent to ensure that...these schools are only preaching teachings, not instigating rebellion. The crown prince can even promise Zhang Tianshi to grant Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, and Zhongnan Mountain To you Daomeng, let the Daoist faction develop, grow, prosper, and prosper!"

Speaking of here…

Lu Yu paused for a moment, as if deliberately giving Zhang Lu some time to think.

Ten breaths... twenty breaths...

Fifty breaths, one hundred breaths...

After a full hundred breaths, Lu Yu opened his mouth and asked solemnly: "In a corner, sitting in a well and looking at the sky... Or take a step forward, and spread the 'Tao to the Central Plains and the world with real skills, and rejuvenate the Taoism... These... Today is all tied to Zhang Tianshi's thought..."

Speaking of this, Lu Yu's expression became meticulous, and his calmness...inexplicably brought a lot of oppressive feeling.

Zhang Lu raised his head slowly...

His words stumbled a bit: "If... if I promise His Highness the Crown Prince, can His Highness the Crown Prince promise me one more thing!"

"What is it?"

Zhang Lu hesitated a little, then narrowed his eyes, and uttered a sentence slowly.

——"Destroy! Buddha!"

And these two words blurted out.

Lu Yu was taken aback... He wanted to tell Zhang Lu the story of Buddhism and Taoism...

You must know that it is not long since Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains through Zhang Qian’s mission to the Western Regions... Temple
The only temple is the White Horse Temple in Luoyang.

It can be said that the influence of Buddhism is far less than that of later generations...

The "Buddhism" that Lu Yu wanted to talk about was just to remind Zhang Lu...

Tell him that in the future...

The biggest opponent of Taoism is not Confucianism, but Buddhism...

But who ever thought...

Zhang Lu expressed his feelings directly, and directly put forward the word "destroying Buddha".

This... is a bit powerful!

It seems that although Zhang Lu and Zhang Tianshi are settled in the Hanzhong generation, but...he has realized how the Buddha...will affect the world, and how the Buddha...will suppress the development of Dao again!
Lu Yu's eyes narrowed into a slit, he bent down, and looked directly at Zhang Lu: "Master Zhang is planning...to let the crown prince carry out the 'Decree of Exterminating Buddhas in Wei, is it?"

——"Zhang Tianshi is really far-sighted!"

...

...

Inside Yangping Pass, there is a pavilion.

"How is it?" Seeing her father coming back, Zhang Qiying hurried up to meet her.

Zhang Lu looked at the daughter in front of him...

This daughter, who was always dignified and decent, became so urgent for this matter this time.

Who knows, is she because of the Five Dou Rice Sect, or... because of Lu Yu!
"Father? How's the talk going?" Seeing that Zhang Lu didn't speak, Zhang Qiying asked again hastily.

"What do you think?" Zhang Lu pretended to be serious...

This expression frightened Zhang Qiying.

"No..." Zhang Qiying stammered, "It's not like the deal didn't work out, did it?"

In addition to being surprised, Zhang Qiying's cheeks flashed a little worry. Only when he really collided with Lu Yu would he know...what a formidable opponent he is. Such a person...can be a friend, but must not be an enemy.

"Why don't you ask that Prince Wei?" Zhang Qiying was taken aback by Zhang Lu's sudden words...

This……

Zhang Qiying came to her senses, father, this is... Is this agreeing to her leaving the customs?See... see Lu Yu?

Logically speaking, this should mean... the conversation between father and Lu Yu went well, right?
but why...

Zhang Qiying always has an indescribable feeling that it doesn't look like everything is going smoothly.

"Father...isn't it..."

Without waiting for Zhang Qiying to ask the question...

Zhang Lu waved his hand, "Don't ask me, the pressure is on your sweetheart now..."

This…

Suddenly hearing the word "sweetheart", Zhang Qiying trembled all over, and immediately...she clenched her teeth, her face suddenly turned red, "Father...what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Hehe..." Zhang Lu just smiled, then waved his hands and walked away...

Instead, Zhang Qiying was left with her fists clenched. She was so curious, she really wanted to know... Why did her father say that the pressure was on Lu Yu's side?Ah no... When did Lu Yu fall in love with someone?

"Come here..."

"Saint!"

"Prepare the horse, I want to go out!" Zhang Qiying spoke very fast, just like her mood, the waves were turbulent... surging!
...

...

this night.

Lu Yu stood alone on "Zilong Mountain", looking at the night scene alone now.

Dian Wei and others took ten steps behind Lu Yu to protect...

The cold night was silent, except for the gusts of bleak wind blowing on Lu Yu's body.

——Destroy Buddha!
The condition Zhang Lu put forward made him have to think carefully and carefully weigh...

Even, he needs to pull out the many records about "Buddha" in his mind to seriously evaluate... Whether the existence of "Buddha" is good or bad for Wei, happy or sad!
— Swish Swish...

The cold wind blew on Lu Yu's cheeks, and he chanted lightly: "Nanchao 440 Temple, how many buildings are in the mist and rain."

When he uttered this sentence, he had already thought of the many times of "destroying Buddha" recorded in ancient books and documents.

For example... the famous - "Three Wu
Buddha! "

To put it in detail, it was Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty who exterminated Buddhism, Emperor Wudi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who exterminated Buddhism, Tang Wuzong exterminated Buddha... plus Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty exterminated Buddha, which constituted the extremely famous-three Wus and one sect's calamity!
The reasons for the extermination of Buddhism by the Three Wus and One School are not the same, and the situation is slightly different, but generally...the same.

It is nothing more than political reasons, conflicts in the ideological and cultural fields, shortcomings in the Sangha, and conflicts in economic interests between monks and laymen.

In layman's terms...

Buddha, in fact, is the common people in suffering, a spiritual utopia.

With the development of Buddhism, in many dynasties, it caused a series of problems.

For example, monks in ancient times did not have to pay taxes, let alone perform corvee and military service; monks did not engage in production activities, and basically relied on pilgrims for their living security. Bodhisattva, but many people forget their biological parents who conceived in October and brought them up.

And... the most inhumane thing, Buddhism stipulates that you can't get close to women.

To know…

This is the ancient times, not the later generations. The ancient population was inherently thin and did not thrive. How can a strong country be inherited?
Because of these reasons, in ancient times...the more people entered the Buddhist family, the more unfavorable it was for the development of the empire, and it was also detrimental to the ruler's economic development and production...

The only advantage is that the "faith" mentioned by Buddhism can help the ruler maintain social order to a certain extent.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda... The criteria of these envelopes are positive to a certain extent.

As for the extermination of Buddha...

It seems that casting golden arhats and the consumption of incense money can be saved, and a large amount of labor can be released... so that the people are not completely living in vain.

from this angle…

It is not impossible for the Great Wei to exterminate Buddha.

Even, in this period of time, the White Horse Temple has just been a hundred years old, and the development of Buddhism is still in the enlightenment stage. It is not like in the future when "three martial arts and one sect destroy Buddha"... there are many difficulties!
Not long after each Buddhist extermination campaign, Buddhism revived again...

Thinking about this...

Lu Yu rolled his eyes and muttered that sentence again.

——"Ruoran...Dawei 440 Temple, how many towers...in the mist and rain?"
