The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 18 The Confluence of Three Religions
This paragraph is a bit boring to Princess Chengyang, what she wants to hear more is the story of the monkey, rather than the Haotian God or Daode Tianzun who saves the world, but she is very polite and doesn't interrupt.

Of course, it was also very possible that he was afraid that the eldest grandson Wugou would not dare to do this, because at this moment the eldest grandson Wugou had already sat on the chair next to them and was listening with great interest.

For her, the setting just now was much more interesting than wreaking havoc in heaven.

Zixiao Palace, the Immortals and Gods, Yuanhui, Measurable Calamity, Infinite Calamity... How on earth did he think of these things?The key is that he integrated all of these, and finally made Lao Tzu the one who bears the destiny.

She loves this setting so much.

After leaving five thousand words for Yin Xi, Lao Tzu embarked on the road to the west again, and came to the part that Princess Chengyang liked to hear most, the monkey was about to appear.

"I went to the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, and when I heard someone calling him Master, I walked over curiously to have a look... After some understanding, it turned out to be the guardian Nuwa found for him."

"The monkey was transformed by the Goddess Nvwa who repaired the sky... The empress took pity on him, and she pointed out a bright way for him, and followed me to the west..."

"Lao Tzu is the Taoist Heavenly Venerable, who went down to preach the world to resolve the calamity. I don't know who has leaked it. All the demons and ghosts in the world have laid a net on the road ahead, intending to harm him."

The eldest grandson Wugou turned into a reasonable party in seconds, and began to criticize: "Why do you harm him? Isn't it beneficial to everyone to resolve the calamity?"

Chen Jingke said meaningfully: "It's easy to fish in muddy water."

Changsun Wugou thought for a while and slowly nodded, "What a fish in troubled waters...Continue to talk."

Afterwards, he continued until Lao Tzu rescued Monkey King, and because Monkey King was hard to cure, the two had a falling out, and Empress Nvwa appeared to Lao Tzu to restrain Monkey.

When he got here, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's stop here today. I haven't thought about the story behind. Let me think about it, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The eldest grandson Wugou was very satisfied, today these stories are enough for her to write a lot of articles, but she is not in a hurry, she will wait until the whole story is finished.

Princess Chengyang was very dissatisfied, pouted her lips and said, "It's not good, I want to hear the story about making trouble in the Heavenly Palace."

Chen Jingke can fully understand her thoughts, because he didn't like this passage very much when he was a child, so he comforted him: "Tomorrow will be lively. There is a dragon stealing my cow to eat, and the monkey is going to capture that dragon to avenge the cow."

Princess Chengyang regained her spirits immediately: "Really? Don't lie to me."

Chen Jingke stretched out his little finger and said, "Come on, let's pull the hook."

The little girl didn't even know what a hook was, but she was very excited after hearing his explanation. She stretched out her finger and shouted: "The hook must not be changed for 100 years after it has been hung, so stamp it."

When they had had enough trouble, a few people talked about Changsun Wugou's illness.

Sun Simiao said: "Asthma has been brought under control and has greatly improved. The main reason is that the vitality that was damaged before needs a long period of recuperation to recover."

Chen Jingke couldn't help being astounded by the efficacy of those medicines. This is a body that has never been harmed by modern antibiotics and other medicines. In his previous life, only popular medicines can have such a good effect.

As for the lack of body, his heart moved, and he said: "Wait for me."

Then ran to the next room, took out two soft jars from the big black bag, came back and put them in front of Changsun Wugou and said:
"This thing can quickly replenish the body's vitality... These two packs have been opened and cannot be stored for a long time. You should eat them quickly, or they will be broken."

This is a protein powder and nutrition powder for adventure. When cooking is not possible, wash it with hot water to quickly replenish the nutrients your body needs.

These two packs were bought by him before crossing, and they will really expire if they are not eaten after such a long time.Although it is not necessarily impossible to eat after the expiration date, it is better to try to finish eating within the shelf life.

The eldest grandson Wugou didn't know this, and mistakenly thought it was some kind of treasure. Chen Jingke said that he was going to die on purpose to comfort her, and he was very moved.

Now she more and more agrees with this feeling from the bottom of her heart.

Chen Jingke continued: "Also, the child grows and develops by sucking the blood of the mother. It takes two or three years for a normal woman to recover after giving birth, not to mention your body still has stubborn diseases."

"Having a baby will only increase your physical burden and lead to disease, so...forget it, I'd better talk to His Majesty directly."

The eldest grandson Wugou naturally knew what he meant, and she was a little embarrassed to talk about this kind of thing in person, but she still said: "I will talk to Your Majesty myself."

After chatting for a while about convalescence, the eldest grandson Wugou got up to say goodbye, and left with the reluctant Princess Chengyang.

Before leaving, he also told Chen Jingke that the master craftsman Yan Lide would come to him in the afternoon to discuss the construction of the new Taoist temple, and let him think about how to build it in advance.

After sending off grandson Wugou and returning to the house, Sun Simiao opened the door, so he could see every move outside at a glance.

"You made up the story of Journey to the West, not just to amuse yourself?"

Chen Jingke knew that this day would come sooner or later, so he was already prepared, and said calmly: "Yes. But telling the story to the princess was indeed out of kindness, and it was purely accidental that His Majesty discovered it later."

Sun Simiao nodded. The biggest responsibility for the current situation lies with himself. If he hadn't been soft-hearted and confessed to Chen Jingke, there would be nothing like this.

"what is your purpose?"

Chen Jingke said: "It's nothing more than fame and fortune. I want to use Journey to the West to grab fame and status, at least I can occupy a place in Taoism."

Sun Simiao could understand his thoughts, but he didn't expect his fame and fortune to be so serious: "Is it worth it if you don't bring fame and wealth with you when you die?"

Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "Master misunderstood, I only pursue fame and fortune as a tool to achieve a greater ideal."

Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment, and said, "What ideal?"

"It's nothing more than self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country and leveling the world." Chen Jingke further explained: "Why did the first emperor want to unify weights and measures with the same writing and carts? Why did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respect Confucianism?"

"Because there can only be one voice in the world, and the more voices there are, the more people will be confused, which will eventually lead to disintegration. When there is only one voice, it can be twisted together."

"Since the Jin Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism have flourished, and Confucianism has never been as strong as in the previous Han Dynasty. The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are competing with each other... This situation is not a problem in times of war."

"However, now that the country is unified, the three voices seem to be too much, which is not conducive to the long-term stability of the country. The three religions will inevitably have a winner."

"Some people have understood this truth before the Sui Dynasty and tried to merge the three religions. Among them, the great Confucian Wang Tong went the farthest. It's a pity that he only proposed the idea of ​​the merger of the three religions, but he failed to find a way to merge the three religions."

Sun Simiao has been completely overwhelmed by his apprentice's words, what kind of evildoer is this, who actually put his mind on the merging of the three religions to reshape the thought of the family and the country.

"You believe that you can do things that even a great Confucian like Wang Tong can't do?"

Chen Jingke said firmly: "Yes."

Sun Simiao said, "Why?"

Chen Jingke said: "Only the Son of Heaven can achieve confluence. No matter how talented other people are, they can only advance for the king. Wang Tong doesn't understand this truth. If he wants to do it with his own strength, he is completely overestimated."

"Of course, it's useless even if he understands, because he hasn't met the real hero. Today, he is no less than the hero of Qinhuang and Hanwu, so he can't but I can."
