The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 19 Violence
In the afternoon, Yan Lide really came to Sanqing Temple to visit Chen Jingke's master and apprentice. After a few pleasantries, he went to the main topic and asked about the requirements of the Taoist temple.

Chen Jingke took out the sketches he had already drawn: "The name of this Taoist temple is Zixiao Temple, the main hall is Zixiao Palace, and it is dedicated to God Haotian."

"Next to it are the Hall of Sanqing, the Hall of the Holy Mother (Nuwa), the Hall of Sages, the Hall of Sending Children, the Hall of the God of Wealth, the Hall of the King of Medicine, the Hall of Plague, and the Hall of Civil and Military Music Stars..."

Yan Lide was shocked at first, and then he was covered in white sweat.I won’t talk about so many weird gods, the key point is what does it mean for your Taoist temple to enshrine God Haotian?
Haotian, that is the righteous god worshiped by the state. If you engage in Confucianism and Taoism in this way, are you willing to stop talking about it? Have you asked what the emperor means?
Don't let your head fall to the ground before the Taoist temple is completed.You die as long as you die, don't implicate me.

He wished he could leave this blueprint and run away, but thinking of Li Shimin's orders and the empress's repeated orders, he restrained the thought of running away.

But when Chen Jingke finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and went out of the gate of Sanqingguan, holding this design drawing, and went directly to Ganlu Hall.

This thing is too hot to touch, if it's not something he doesn't want to take a look at.Hand it over to Li Shimin for the first time, leaving himself out is his only thought at this time.

As for Sun Simiao and Chen Jingke...it has nothing to do with him, they love each other.

But to his surprise, Li Shimin was not angry after reading it, but ordered: "Just build this picture, and build this view within two months."

"Here." Yan Lide was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.The emperor has approved it, just work honestly, don't ask if you don't understand.

After solving this matter, Li Shimin continued to deal with government affairs.On the way, the eunuch Ren Feng sent a secret letter, he took it out and read it again, put it away again and continued to deal with official duties.

It was not until dusk that all the memorials were corrected, and then he took the secret letter and went to the Lizheng Hall.

After seeing the eldest grandson Wugou, he started to laugh loudly and said, "Haha...Okay, okay, Guanyin maidservant, you recognized a good nephew."

The eldest grandson Wugou knew that Chen Jingke must have done something or said something, so he waved back the palace guards and asked, "Why is this so, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin handed her the secret letter and said, "You will know after reading it."

Changsun Wugou took the letter and read it quickly, and was also very surprised: "The three religions merged? This...he really has such ambitions?"

Li Shimin said: "Didn't expect it, I didn't expect it either. I can only say that your nephew is young and ambitious."

Changsun Wugou judged that Li Shimin was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "What kind of ambition, Your Majesty should not praise him."

"However, he still has some self-knowledge. He knows that His Majesty is a wise monarch like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and he must rely on His Majesty's mighty power to accomplish anything."

This sentence touched Li Shimin's itching spot, his face was wrinkled with a smile, but he said modestly: "The achievements of Emperor Qin, Han and Wu are so outstanding, how dare I compare them with them."

"However, the combination of the three religions he proposed is very satisfying to me. As long as he really has this ability, it doesn't matter if I rely on him."

He is not afraid that the people under him are capable and ambitious, but he is afraid that he will not be able to figure out the desire of his subordinates.Before, he didn't know what Chen Jingke wanted, and he still had concerns in his heart, but now he is completely relieved.

Moreover, the confluence of the three religions is also a great achievement for the emperor, and he is happy to see it come true.

He has always been better than Qin Huang Han Wu, but he also knows that he has a lot of shortcomings in terms of martial arts.He didn't know where to start before, but now he has a goal.

Your Emperor Qin has the same weights and measures as the book and the car with the same track, and your Han Wu has Confucianism, so I will come to a fusion of the three religions.

He knew that the integration of the three religions could not be accomplished by shouting slogans, but that there must be a practical theoretical basis, which he had no way to solve.

But he is the emperor, and some of his subordinates are a large group of literati. As long as he reveals his intentions, some people will help him do it.

It's just that he wasn't in a hurry to do so, he wanted to see how capable this little Taoist boy who appeared out of nowhere was and how far he could go on this road.

The point is, he was fed up with that group of gentry, and wanted to introduce another force to stir up the pool of water.

Fishing in troubled waters, is there anyone better at it than him?
Chen Jingke didn't know that his words had already reached Li Shimin's ears, and now he was trying to find a way to change the follow-up plot of Journey to the West.

If you simply regard Journey to the West as a fairy tale, it would be too reckless.

Occasionally interspersing a little bit of his understanding of Taoism, and tentatively throwing out some new ideas and violent theories to test the tone of the outside world, in order to maximize the benefits.

For example, turning the "Tao Te Ching" into the "Tao Te Ching" is an attempt.

For 2000 years, people have always believed that the Tao Te Ching is the same as the Laozi, and it was not until the Mawangduijia and B copies of the Laozi were unearthed that this was not the case.

The real "Laozi" Dejing is in the front and the Taoism is in the back. Not only that, but the order of many pages has also been adjusted.

Don't underestimate the problem of reversed order. Using an inappropriate analogy, it seems that 12345 becomes 52143, and the whole set of logic will be affected.

Since the order of these "Lao Tzu" was reversed into "Tao Te Ching", no one has been able to understand the true meaning of Lao Tzu.

The closest to Laozi's original intention was Wang Bi and Wang Fusi in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but he was still misled by the order of the "Tao Te Ching".

As for who had such a great ability to turn "Laozi" into "Tao Te Ching", it is impossible to test, and it can only be inferred that it happened after Emperor Wen of Han.

In addition, four lost articles have been sorted out from the A and B editions, which will allow people to understand the original meaning of "Lao Tzu" more completely.

It can be said that the appearance of the first and second editions of Mawangdui's "Laozi" had a subversive impact on Chinese philosophy, especially on Taoism.

And Chen Jingke, who is familiar with the completed version of "Lao Tzu", has such a sharp weapon in his hands. It can be said that his understanding of "Lao Tzu" surpasses everyone in the era.

But sometimes it is not because you are advanced that you can win, you have to be recognized by others.For people of this era, the completed version of "Lao Tzu" is equivalent to violent theory.

Unless Chen Jingke takes someone to dig Mawangdui, it will definitely be regarded as heresy by mainstream literati.

He really wanted to do this, not only to dig Mawangdui, but also to dig Sleeping Tiger's Land, and to dig Sanxingdui...but now he can only think about it.

If the technology is not up to scratch, moving those things is a sinner of Chinese civilization.

What he needs to do now is to gain a high enough status first, and then throw out the content of the completed version of "Lao Tzu" little by little.

Use small violent theories one by one to make people of this era gradually accept his theories, and then follow the trend to throw out the biggest violent theories.

Journey to the West is just a small temptation, and "Tao Tao Jing" is only the first step, and there will be many similar small violent theories later.

Anyway, on the surface, Journey to the West is an unpopular novel of ghosts and monsters. Even if there are some violent comments in it, mainstream literati will at most say it is a piece of nonsense, and then there is a high probability that they will not take it seriously.

But the influence of the story of Journey to the West has been confirmed in previous lives. If there are many people who read it, some people will always be affected.
