Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 816 The truth about the origin of "Daomen"!

Li Chunfeng could use the secrets of Taoism to perfuse Changsun Chong, but now that the words come from the mouth of the prince, if he is prevaricating, he will inevitably be suspected of deceiving the emperor; what's more, there are many well-educated people in the East Palace, so the secret inside is not The same can be cracked, but it will inevitably lose something, and offend the narrow-minded prince, the gain outweighs the loss!
After a battle between heaven and man in his mind, Li Chunfeng picked up the teapot and took a few big gulps, wiped his mouth with his sleeve very rudely, then looked outside, and spoke in a low voice a long time ago, which was rarely seen. well-known story.

Although Taoism is a sect that emerged in China, it is not considered a Yuansu in history; the Xia Dynasty can be said to be the world of witches. They know witchcraft and use witchcraft to expel ghosts and evil spirits. They are also called magicians. The originator of the state religion.

However, in the Shang Dynasty, the belief in gods and the theory of immortality prevailed. All princes and nobles wanted to become immortals, so there was a kind of people called "alchemists" who replaced witches. Alchemists were good at alchemy and used pills to cure diseases and save people;

After King Wu of Zhou established the Zhou Dynasty, alchemists in Taoism were given official positions of the same name to participate in state affairs and manage prisons. After hundreds of years of development, they became one of the important sects in the Central Plains. They called themselves "Fang Xiandao" .

After Qin ruled the world, the alchemist Xu Fu said that he could live forever, so that the first emperor could rule the world forever. Qin Huang believed it was true, and everything Xu Fu asked for was satisfied; Not only did he cheat countless money and materials, but also wasted too much of his time.

As a result, the Emperor Qin, who became angry from embarrassment, not only ordered the arrest of the alchemists in the Qin Palace and killed them all, but also burned all the classics held by the Qin Palace and the alchemists. This is the so-called "burning books and burying scholars".Of course, Xu Fu ran away, but his family did not, especially his younger brother, who was thrown into the Yellow River as a sacrifice by Emperor Shi Huang.

Since then, alchemists have "broken their trust" in the world, and the sect has suffered serious losses. It was not until the governance of capable people like Xin Yuanping and Li Shaojun that the decline was gradually restored.But the good times didn't last long. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism, he not only replaced the alchemists as the state religion, but also used the hand of the Han court to exclude them and other schools of thought.

The repeated turmoil also caused the alchemists to split into several factions, and the internal strife was very serious. Among them, two factions were the most powerful. One faction advocated intervening in the imperial power in order to restore the glory of the past, and the other faction advocated making peace with the Confucian sect to achieve peace. Keep morality intact.

The people in these two factions are hostile to each other and kill each other, and they are so busy that they are "extremely happy", but they have not noticed that a new force in the lineage of alchemists is rising.Until the leader of this force was replaced by someone named Liu Gen, the fate of the alchemists was completely changed.

This man named Liu Gen used to be an official in the court and a doctor. He had certain contacts in the official circle.

He even deliberately borrowed the help of his friends to slander the two factions for plotting to rebel, destroying the flesh and blood of the alchemists in one fell swoop, and took advantage of the chaos to reconcile the alchemists and establish a new force. It is "Daomen".

This new force is different from the Taoism represented by alchemists in the past. Taoism advocates the study of Huang Lao, respecting Taoism and virtue, imitating nature, governing the country with the law of inaction, self-cultivation, dealing with ghosts and gods, and dealing with the relationship between man and all things in the world .And this force believes in "Tao", which is a religious entity that "becomes immortal and attains Tao" through the cultivation of spiritual body.

Later, Zhang Daoling and other moral masters improved the Taoist classics, practiced alchemy, and disciplines and rituals gradually became more complete. The new Taoism multiplied and was recognized by the rulers. It evolved into a mature orthodox religion, which has been passed down to become the Tang state religion.

However, the current Taoist school is born out of the Taoist school where the alchemist school is located, and naturally it has inherited a lot of "property", among which the Danding lineage is particularly important. The strange book lost in this case was passed down from The secret book of alchemists.

If it is a classic that is beneficial to the country and the people, the Taoist school will naturally not cherish it, but some alchemy techniques recorded in the book are too cruel, and sooner or later they will be harmed by the people, so the Taoist school is so urgent. .
After listening to Li Chunfeng's words, the elder Sun Chong who was sitting at the side couldn't help mocking: "Oh, the Taoist sect also became an orthodox religion by persecuting fellow sects through despicable and shameless means!
Eye-opening, really eye-opening, I thought that you were the disciples of saints like Lao Tzu and Zhuang Zhou, as mentioned in the book, and after a long time, it turned out that you were a group of "rebellious officials and thieves" who committed chaos.Old Li, when you kowtowed to your predecessors, didn't you also look down on their behavior? "

"Hey, don't look at me with that look. I despise them, not you. As for that? Besides, that Liu Gen not only occupied the magpie's nest, but also tampered with the Taoism, so that future generations will only know it. I don’t know why, but this character is really not very good.”

"Okay, Zhongliang, the son never speaks of his father's faults. As a disciple of later generations, Chunfeng is naturally not good at judging the former master! Of course, you are not qualified. Who doesn't know that uncle is also a believer. If he hears that you In other words, I have to break your dog legs."

Hearing what the prince said, Chang Sun Chong shrugged his shoulders helplessly, then turned his head and said to Li Chunfeng: "Okay, Lao Li, you can put this matter in the water, I will definitely order them to save people. At the same time, I will help you find that book, don’t worry!”

Chang Sun Chong's careless reply made Li Chunfeng's headache worse, but he had no choice but to find an excuse to leave.But after he went out, the sluggish eldest Sun Chong immediately changed his appearance, rubbed his chin with a serious expression, and squinted his small eyes to look at Li Chengqian.

"Don't look at Gu like that, all fools know that Li Chunfeng is lying, and the secrets in it are more important than the secrets of Taoism, otherwise he wouldn't report his family scandal."

"Your Highness, I think I should let those people play a role, to find out what the truth is, and to know what is going on first. Anyway, they are fine when they are idle, right?"

After listening to Chang Sun Chong's words, Li Chengqian waved his hands: "No, I told you a long time ago that their actions are extraordinary, and it's not easy to bury them. The rule must be that they don't sing for three years, and if they sing, they will be big.

Let's find another way, I don't believe that their hands can cover all the real images so tightly that they don't even leave a glimmer of light. ".
