Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Fifteen miles from the outskirts of Luoyang.

Different from the prosperous scene of "new" Luoyang, surrounded by silk and bamboo, among pines, bamboos and green cypresses, a resplendent ancient temple rises from the ground.

On the mountain gate is the "White Horse Temple" with a gold plaque, and in front of the temple, there are several huge copper stoves with green smoke and a faint fragrance floating inside.

Climbing up the steps, entering the gate of the temple, turning around the screen wall, you will face the three halls on one axis dedicated to the Buddha.

Many dignitaries are burning incense in front of the hall, offering incense money willingly.

Cai Zhaoji, who is about to give birth, is also here. With the support of Xia Houjuan, Liu Xue and others... she came here to worship the Buddha. I heard that... the Buddha of the White Horse Temple can protect the safety of mother and child.

At this time, she was kneeling on the futon in front of the hall, the Buddha statue that had just been crossed by gold stood tall in front of her, the copper furnaces of several treasure tripods were filled with green smoke all day long, and a faint fragrance floated in the air.

Cai Zhaoji seems to see the boundless river and sky, and the sails of the boat are sailing lightly, carrying her beautiful wish for the safety of mother and child, and she is sailing far away.

Sudden…

Noisy banging and scolding came from outside the temple gate, and countless people approached...

Cai Zhaoji, Liu Xue, and Xia Houjuan also approached together, but they saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing over.

"What business do you benefactors come here for?"

The monks from the White Horse Temple came out... and asked the officials.

"Your Majesty decreed that all the monks of the White Horse Temple should be arrested, and the rest of the pilgrims should be dismissed on the spot..."

The words were unquestionable, the monk panicked, and just wanted to go back to ask the abbot for instructions, but he never thought... the entire White Horse Temple has been surrounded.

And those bald monks and Buddha were all arrested.

"My lord, what did I... what did I do?"

The monk had already been escorted by the officers and soldiers, and he got up and grabbed a sergeant to ask him in panic.

at this time…

A civil official climbed up to the second floor of a temple at some point, condescendingly reading the edict of the "Son of Heaven"...

——"As the son of heaven, the son of heaven, I have heard that the way of ghosts is flourishing recently, which makes politics and religion impossible, rituals and righteousness are greatly corrupted, and kings and laws are abolished. An edict was issued to destroy the Buddha, and all monks under the age of 40 would return to the vulgar immediately, and monks over the age of 40 would either return to the vulgar, or be in the same pit as the Buddha. In the world, I still want to cut it off, so how can I be sorry for this bronze statue?"

This is out of the way...

Xia Houjuan didn't understand, so she asked Cai Zhaoji beside her, "Sister Zhaoji, what... does this mean?"

Before Cai Zhaoji can answer...

Princess Wannian Liu Xue pursed her lips and said, "My younger brother actually issued an edict...to...destroy the Buddha!"

call…

Xia Houjuan was startled when he blurted out these words.

Extinguishing Buddha... Isn't that, this White Horse Temple!

Not only Xia Houjuan, Cai Zhaoji, and Liu Xue were surprised, but the believers here were also taken aback...

They couldn't believe that such a Buddhist temple...

It was fine during the day, but all of a sudden... just...

But watching the officers and soldiers search the entire monastery, this scene is extremely real.

Some government soldiers recognized the three of Cai Zhaoji...

"Chairman Cai, why are the two concubines here..." The leader of the government soldiers quickly walked up to the three girls, waved his hands, and ordered his men to escort the three to leave.

Cai Zhaoji hesitated for a moment, Lianbu took a step, then pursed her lips, and murmured.

"Is this decree to destroy the Buddha really... His Majesty's order?"

"The imperial decree is in my hands, it is absolutely true." The leader dare not hide it...

Cai Zhaoji nodded slightly, as if she had realized something... She left here together with Xia Houjuan and Liu Xue.

Get in the carriage...

She seems to have thought of something.

After pondering for a while, his eyes looked towards Liu Xue.

Liu Xue seemed to have something to say, but her mouth seemed to be choked up, and all her helplessness was hidden in her heart...

Finally, Cai Zhaoji couldn't bear it anymore and patted Liu Xue on the back.

"

Your Majesty...indeed...did a lot for the crown prince...for the Great Wei. "

And the carriage drives away...

Those pilgrims who were offering incense at the White Horse Temple did not know who was lit...

Sudden…

A roaring sound came out.

——"This big man is abolishing the police and exterminating Buddha...Is this big man insane?"

——"Yeah, the big man... Huh, the big man should just die, anyway, he is dead in name only!"

——"Wei Daihan!"

——"Shhhhhhhhhhh..."

——"I support Wei Wang Dai Han, who dares to cut off my head!"

just like…

Most of the pilgrims are from well-to-do families, and they are prosecuted and their family members are paid to their mothers... Now that the Buddha is being exterminated, their repressed anger has accumulated to a certain amount, and it is about to explode!

...

...

Luoyang City, inside the Wei Palace.

It was a rainy night, and Cao Cao was slowly unfolding a scroll of pictures in his study. It was...he ordered someone to draw a portrait of him and Lu Yu's mother, Lu Wenran, who had been in love with Lu Yu's mother for life when he was young...

There are ten copies in one scroll, each one...Cao Cao would stop for a while in front of the scroll.

Xia Houyuan in the audience didn't say a word...

Just lightly tapped the table case.

Recalling this story, Xia Houyuan actually heard his elder brother Cao Cao tell it, but he never took it to heart...

I feel that she is just an ordinary one among the countless women around my eldest brother.

But who would have thought that such an "ordinary" woman would give birth to the elder brother's eldest son, Xia Houyuan's son-in-law, and the great Wei's crown prince...

It's really unpredictable!
"Brother, are you still thinking about her?"

Cao Cao smiled lightly, "As I get older, many memories are embedded in my heart, and I can't forget them...Many lost people or things are easier to imprint in my heart."

Xia Houyuan said with emotion: "Yes...the past is like smoke, who would have thought that in a blink of an eye, my eldest brother and I have reached the age of knowing our destiny..."

call…

With a heavy exhalation, Cao Cao turned around.

Under the candlelight... You can see that his complexion is much paler, and he has experienced a lot of vicissitudes. Tortured by the wind, he is no longer the "heroic" King Wei, but more like an old man who is gradually weakening.

"When I was 20 years old, I was able to do what I thought was right with my passion, but the price was that I repeatedly hit the wall and was not tolerated by the world; when I was 30 years old, I thought that I had to unite a group of people and do a just thing , but when I saw those people with one thing on the outside and the other on the back, I realized that... Lizi is not enough to plan! When I was 40 years old, I didn't have the most cities, soldiers, money and food, but I realized it, I knew it What I have to do is what I am good at. Relying on the favor of my family, I can recruit soldiers and horses from all over the world. I can't compare with Yuan Benchu ​​for a lifetime. Go up to Gu!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused.

It seems to recall the glorious years of the past.

He took a breath... calmed down a bit, and continued to say: "It is also because of Gu's enlightenment...Gu understands, Gu dares to give the absolute right to Ziyu, and let him take care of this chaotic situation for Gu. The world! But now, in a blink of an eye, Gu is at the age of knowing the destiny, and his blood has been swallowed by the disease, what Gu can do is to train the next King Wei, to train the King Wei who can truly rule the world!"

boom…

Cao Cao's words were deafening.

Xia Houyuan heard it... could not help but tremble all over...

At the age of 20, work with passion;

At the age of 30, do what you want to do;
Do what you are good at at the age of 40;
At the age of 50, I will do the work of cultivating the next generation... The elder brother's understanding of life, the elder brother's realm is still more transparent.

only…

At this time... why did the eldest brother bring up these things?Did he mean to...

Without waiting for Xiahou Yuan to think about it...

"Report!" A school captain reported: "Report to the King of Wei, all Buddhas in Luoyang are forcibly returned to secular life, and they are stubborn

Those who resist...or persist in not returning to the vulgar have already pushed one handle into the pit and burned it together with the Buddhist scriptures! "

This is out of the way...

Subconsciously, Xia Houyuan subconsciously thought of burning books and burying scholars.

Brother...are you going to burn scriptures and pit monks?

"Brother...isn't it a bit..."

Xia Houyuan felt a little regretful...

After all, his wife Ding Xiang also often goes to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and pray to the Buddha...

Cao Cao blurted out his answer: "The crown prince sent a letter saying that if there were 480 temples in the Great Wei Dynasty, how many buildings would be in the mist and rain..."

This…

Xia Houyuan was startled, and wanted to speak again, nothing more than... mentioned that doing so might make the elder brother lose some of his popularity...

At this moment, the captain's voice came again.

"Your Majesty, the edict to exterminate Buddhas and monks was issued by the Emperor of Han, and it was planned by Shangshutai...not...not from the order of King Wei!"

Well…

The captain's words made Cao Cao startled.

You must know that even though there are two courts of the Great Wei and the Great Han in this land, no matter whether it is the Great Wei or the Great Han, the edicts issued cannot bypass the Shangshutai.

Of course, Cao Cao also heard about Prince Lu Yu's reform of officials and institutions, but within a short period of time... Shangshutai still has great power.

And... the edict issued by Cao Cao was passed from Wei Palace to Shangshutai, but who would have thought that it was indeed the edict of Han Palace that was finally issued to the people, and it was the emperor's will!

This…

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed.

Xia Houyuan asked curiously: "Brother, this is..."

"The emperor of Han is sending off the orphan, and he is giving the prince a great favor!" Cao Cao replied...

After saying this, Xia Houyuan realized...

It turned out to be the case.

It was Cao Cao, who shook his head slightly, feeling emotional again. "When I was young, I guarded the Han Dynasty for at least 30 years, but I never thought that I would be fed back by the Han Dynasty in my lifetime... Hehe, this is the so-called Duke of Zhou spitting out and nurturing the world. Haha, the crown prince still has enough face!"

Speaking of here…

Cao Cao flicked his long sleeves and was about to walk outside the palace gate...

"Brother, where are you going?" Xia Houyuan asked hastily.

"Go to Xu Capital City, to Han Palace!" Cao Cao replied loudly...

For a while, Xia Houyuan didn't understand why the eldest brother was going to the Han Palace at this time...

But the school lieutenant's eyes were fixed, "How does your majesty know that your majesty is waiting for your majesty in the palace?"

Word spread.

Step... Cao Cao paused.

He said loudly with a smile: "Gu's son has no plans, how can Gu not be a prophet? Haha...hahahaha..."

Demonic laughter resounded throughout the entire Wei palace. Cao Cao, who never travels late at night, this night...for the great Wei, for the prince...to break the old rules again!
...

...

The sun shines on Yangping Pass, and the double eaves are majestic... Yangping Pass, where one man guards the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it, the gate is opened on this day.

The Longxiao Battalion and Xiliang Army headed by Lu Yu entered Hanzhong.

This also marks the official surrender of the Bashu Five Dou Rice Sect to the Great Wei, and the opening of the Shu land.

Along the way, the five Dou Rice Sect's great sacrifices, elders, and guardians all came out, and there were more than a hundred horse-drawn carriages escorting Long Xiao's battalion alone... The scene was grand and spectacular.

Surrounded in the very middle, besides Lu Yu, Prince of Wei, who else could be surrounded by stars?
Zhang Qiying drove the same carriage with him, and the two were not close or far away, but Zhang Qiying looked at Lu Yu with completely different eyes.

women...that's it...

The established fact of skin-to-skin contact will make women's dependence on men...increased countless times.

At this time, Zhang Qiying was telling Lu Yu that everything outside the window...

There are many places in Hanzhong, where politics and religion are united, that are very different from other cities and counties.

It can be said that in this city and county, whether one is a follower of the Five Dou Rice Sect or not

As far as a family is concerned, it matters a lot!
And every few hundred meters, there will be a huge altar...

This is a place where the common people and the priests of the Taoist priests worship and sacrifice.

"This is the Five Dou Rice Sect, which is Hanzhong..."

Zhang Qiying told in detail... stories about this place one by one.

Can…

In Lu Yu's view, these "both voice and emotion" stories have a taste of mixed truth and falsehood.

In the past few days, he made a special trip to recall the Taoism of the Heavenly Master and the Five Dou Rice Sect...

It is true that Tianshi Dao was founded by Zhang Daoling, but the Five Dou Rice Religion was not created by Zhang Lu.

In "Three Kingdoms · Wei Shu · Zhang Lu Biography" quoted the point of view of "Dian Lue", that is, when the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang in the Central Plains spread the way of peace, a man named Zhang Xiu...began to spread the Five Dou Rice Religion !
——In the autumn and July of the first year of Zhongping (AD 184), Zhang Xiufan, a witch in Berkshire, was in Kou County.

——At that time, Zhang Xiu, a sorcerer, healed his illnesses, and the cured ones hired five buckets of rice, and they were called five buckets of rice masters.

That is to say, the Yellow Turban Uprising was followed by Zhang Xiu's rebellion in Bajun... and this rebellion was finally recruited by Liu Yan, and Zhang Xiu was also named Sima of the other department.

It can be deduced from this that Zhang Xiu is the real leader of the Five Dou of Rice Dao, not Zhang Daoling as the posterity said.

As for... what happened between Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, there are many opinions.

The mainstream view is that Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu, and then re-edited the history of Wu Dou Mijiao.

It is mentioned in "Three Kingdoms Zhang Lu Biography"-Lu was in Hanzhong, because of his people's trust and practice, he added it!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu let out a long breath...

The few records in the ancient literature, perhaps... are the decades of life and death, prosperity and development of the Five Dou Rice Sect, and the alternation of power.

This is true in Taoism, and it is also true outside Taoism...

There are conspiracies everywhere in the world, and history... is often written by the victors.

"His Royal Highness looks a bit heavy."

Zhang Qiying keenly noticed Lu Yu's expression...

Lu Yu calmed down... waved his hand lightly.

"It's nothing...just a feeling..."

At the end, Lu Yu took his words back, as if...now...is not the time to look back at the history of the Five Dou Rice Sect.

Zhang Qiying blinked her big eyes... "Even I...have to hide something?"

Lu Yu smiled, "I think your father has lost a lot!"

"Why?" Zhang Qiying became more and more curious.

"Not only did the Five Dou Rice Sect surrender to the Great Wei, but even the precious girl was dedicated to the Prince of Wei." Lu Yu said in a slightly joking tone.

Zhang Qiying was taken aback for a moment... and then her small mouth pouted. "What do you mean 'baby daughter, dedicated to Prince Wei?"

"You said..." Lu Yu asked with great interest: "If you give birth to the son of Prince Wei, can this son be the celestial master of the Five Dou Rice Sect?"

ah... ah...

Lu Yu's sudden question made Zhang Qiying's face blush all over.

Obviously... She recalled a certain scene, and suddenly became shy...

This?
This!How can I ask such a question!You know, it must be the son?
