Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 501 The Taoist Priest
Du Hongjian felt a little resentful when he received the imperial court's order.

Lingzhou was hit by a snowstorm, and Shuofang's elite were dispatched to the front line to counter the rebellion.

If the Uighurs hadn't been beaten to the ground by the King of Yue, or the Shuofang army would have been dragged to death simply by defending against the Uighurs going south.

This time, the snowstorm in Lingzhou, if it wasn't for the merchants from Longyou entering Lingzhou and the Wangfu Bank granting an emergency interest-free loan to the lord's people, Du Hongjian, the Jiedu envoy, would have been unable to support it.

In such a situation, the imperial court did not sympathize with the difficulties of Shuofang's army, and even asked Shuofang's army to enter Hexi to help defend against Tubo's invasion.

He really didn't understand Du Hongjian scolding his mother in the Jiedu envoy's mansion. The turmoil in the world has gradually subsided, but the world is getting worse and worse?

When Chang'an fell and the emperor ran away at night, Du Hongjian persuaded the then prince Li Heng to go north to Lingwu and use the Shuofang army to rectify the world.

But now the world is about to calm down, and Shuofang's army has also been disabled.

The once prosperous Lingzhou is now exhausted by the war, and a snowstorm has displaced the people.

The emperor wants Du Hongjian to lead troops to Hexi to guard against Tubo?Did Shuofang Bing grow out of crop fields?
Complain casually, but Du Hongjian can only accept the emperor's order. After all, if there is a loss in Hexi, the position of Shuofang will be awkward. Notify the emperor's order.

Du Hongjian walked out of his Jiedu envoy's mansion, looked at the snow on the streets in Shuofang City, put on his clothes and walked towards the city.

On the main street in the city, there are simple porridge sheds emitting white heat.

The porridge sheds were hung with canvas to keep out the wind, and there were coals transported from Longyou. The people affected by the disaster gathered together to keep warm while drinking porridge.

Du Hongjian's heart warmed. If it weren't for the help of the Longyou Governor's Mansion, many people would have died in the heavy snow in Shuofang this time.

After Du Hongjian thought of the snow disaster, Du Hongjian first asked the court for help.

But the imperial court was completely indifferent to the snow disaster in Shuofang, and the emperor only symbolically reduced the rent for next spring and autumn.

This heavy snow is going to freeze people to death, what's the use of reducing or exempting next year's tax?

Du Hongjian was forced to have no choice but to seek help from the surrounding areas.

But the surrounding states and counties are too busy to take care of themselves, and they have no spare energy to rescue Shuofang.

In the end, Du Hongjian asked Longyou, but he didn't expect that Longyou would generously bring the food.

Du Hongjian saw a familiar figure beside the porridge shed where he gave alms.

Zhang Tianlun, who excavated the dragon bones in Lingzhou back then, was appointed by the King of Yue as an envoy because he was familiar with the affairs of Lingzhou, to escort food to Lingzhou for disaster relief.

Just as Zhang Tianlun accompanied Li Mi back to Shazhou, he was sent to Shuofang by another order.

However, due to the rich experience given by the King of Yue, Zhang Tianlun still escorted the food to Shuofang.

Zhang Tianlun once organized the people to excavate the dinosaurs in Lingzhou. Many people in Lingzhou have seen him. They never thought that because of his fame, his disaster relief work in Lingzhou went smoothly.

Every time he went to a place, Zhang Tianlun first set up a porridge shed, and used his prestige to recruit some people to run the porridge shed.

Then Zhang Tianlun will continue to the next place where the victims gather and repeat the same steps.

Because Zhang Tianlun once led the people of Lingzhou to dig out the dragon bones, he was regarded as a fairy who could touch the dragon's veins in the hearts of the people, and because of his prestige, the porridge work in the whole Lingzhou went so far without the government maintaining order. It was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Du Hongjian also knew Zhang Tianlun. Originally, Shuofang Jiedu's Mansion was planning to send troops to maintain order, but as Zhang Tianlun set up porridge sheds along the way, he did not allow Shuofang Jiedu's Mansion to send a single soldier to stabilize the situation. up.

Surprised and delighted, Du Hongjian invited Zhang Tianlun into Lingwu City and asked him to build a porridge shed in Lingwu City to settle down the disaster-stricken people in the city.

Zhang Tianlun used the same method to build more than a dozen porridge sheds on the main roads in Lingwu City, and asked people to hang up windproof canvas to help the people whose houses collapsed and displaced people warm themselves by the fire.

Originally, Zhang Tianlun just regarded this disaster relief mission as a mission, and returned to Longyou just thinking about completing the mission.

But when he built porridge sheds and really helped the people affected by the disaster, Zhang Tianlun changed his mind.

This feeling of helping others is really wonderful. In such a busy and fulfilling day, Zhang Tianlun walked all the way to give alms. By the time he entered Lingwu City, the people had already surrounded the road and called him "living fairy" .

When Du Hongjian walked over, Zhang Tianlun was making porridge for a disaster victim.

Seeing Du Hongjian approaching, Zhang Tianlun handed the porridge spoons to the subordinates behind him, walked towards Du Hongjian and said, "Jie Shuai."

Du Hongjian saw that Zhang Tianlun was wearing a Taoist robe and looked like a fairy, so he also blurted out: "Master Zhang."

Zhang Tianlun cupped his hands and said: "Jiedu envoy call me Daoren Zhang, I don't dare to be a celestial master."

Du Hongjian also understood his slip of the tongue, only Taoists certified by the imperial court could be called Celestial Masters, this Zhang Tianlun didn't know what kind of Taoism he practiced, and he came from an unknown Taoist sect in Longyou, so he really couldn't be called a Celestial Master.

However, compared to those monks who didn't even pull out any hair in the disaster years, and even the rice soup they donated was reluctant to mix rice, this Daoist Zhang really has a lot more heart than those bald donkey Bodhisattvas.

It's no wonder that people now call him Master Zhang, and some people even want to build temples and shrines for him.

Zhang Tianlun, who majored in archaeology, didn't know why he became a celestial master in Datang in a daze.

Zhang Tianlun pretended to be a Taoist priest at first, just to play tricks and trick the people to dig dinosaur fossils.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Tianlun found that it would be more useful for him to use the identity of a Taoist priest when he was giving out porridge this time.

When the common people saw him, they wished they could kneel down and call them gods. The people who were in charge of the porridge sheds he selected all worked hard, for fear of offending the gods.

Zhang Tianlun pretended to be a Taoist priest in this way, and his reputation in Lingzhou was growing.

Du Hongjian and Zhang Tianlun walked side by side in the snow, with soldiers guarding them far behind, not daring to disturb their conversation.

Du Hongjian said: "Zhang Daochang, the imperial court has issued a decree, in order to defend against Tubo's attack from the northwest, order this Jiedu envoy to lead the Shuofang army into Hexi, and take charge of the defense of the northwest. I will leave in a few days."

Zhang Tianlun's expression was subtle, defense?Isn't Tubo defeated by our players?Who are you, Du Hongjian, leading troops to Hexi to defend?
The Tuyuhun area has been defeated by the King of Yue. Who should go to Hexi to defend?

Uyghurs?Now that the Uighurs are about to kneel on the ground and call Longyou's father, do they dare to invade Hexi?
It is only to blame that the spread of information in this era is too slow, and it is also to blame for Shang Qixin'er's defeat too quickly. Up to now, the accurate news of the Battle of Hexi has not been transmitted to Lingwu.

Zhang Tianlun opened his mouth and closed his mouth, hesitant to speak, but Du Hongjian thought he was reluctant to part with him, so he patted Zhang Tianlun on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Daoist Zhang. This time, Tubo's main attack is Xichuan. Lost, I will be able to return to Lingwu in half a year."

Zhang Tianlun thought for a while, what if he told Du Hongjian that the entire Tuyuhun was defeated by King Yue?
It seemed that Du Hongjian wouldn't believe it either, so Zhang Tianlun swallowed his words and crossed his hands and said, "The poor Taoist can only wish Jiedushi a smooth journey!"

Du Hongjian continued: "I have already given orders, and the Jiedu envoy will cooperate with Daoist Zhang in disaster relief."

After saying this, Du Hongjian untied a saber himself, handed it to Zhang Tianlun and said: "If there are officials in Lingzhou who don't cooperate with the Taoist priest to help the disaster, you can use this sword to kill them."

Du Hongjian really knows the virtues of these guys under him. It's good that he is in Lingwu. They don't dare to intervene in the disaster relief. If he leads his troops to leave, these guys don't know what they will do A moth.

After talking about the disaster relief, Du Hongjian said to Zhang Tianlun: "When the disaster relief is over, I will go to the court and build an altar and a temple for Daoist Zhang."

Du Hongjian looked at Zhang Tianlun with puzzled eyes and asked, "But which sect of Dharma door did Daoist Zhang practice?"

The dynasties of the past dynasties have been very strict about religious control. Even in the open Tang Dynasty, if there is no officially recognized sect, it will be regarded as prostitution by the court.

Governments in various places have different attitudes towards prostitutes. Some officials will destroy all kinds of prostitutes as soon as they take office, and some officials will turn a blind eye to them.

But no matter what, adulterous priests can only survive in dark areas and cannot spread openly.

Du Hongjian's words were also to test Zhang Tianlun. If he was an evil way like the Taiping Dao that disrupted the world, then Du Hongjian would definitely kill Zhang Tianlun.

If Zhang Tianlun is a legitimate belief, then Du Hongjian will not be stingy to support him to build a Taoist temple and preach in Shuofang.

What do you teach yourself?

Zhang Tianlun was stunned by this question.

I am an archaeologist, what can I teach?
I just tricked people into digging up dinosaurs, so how could I be regarded as a celestial master?

Zhang Tianlun deeply understood this sentence, "When you tell a lie, you need countless lies to make up for it."

What should we do now?Can't just say it casually?

Certainly not, the monks and Taoists in the Tang Dynasty were all managed by a degree certificate, and the big sects all had their inheritance. What if I said nonsense that I was approached by the rightful master?
Since this is the case, I can only make up one now. Zhang Tianlun thought about it. As an archaeologist, the name Ancient Tomb Sect sounds auspicious.

Auspicious fart, which sect's teachings are grave robbers?
By the way, Quanzhen Teaching!

Zhang Tianlun immediately made a handprint and said, "Poverty Dao is the Quanzhen sect."

"Quanzhen Sect?" Du Hongjian looked at Zhang Tianlun suspiciously. Why hadn't he heard of this sect? Could it really be an evil sect?
