The saint changes according to the circumstances.

What is a saint?

Confucius once said: There are five types of people: there are mediocre people, there are scholars, there are gentlemen, there are wise people, and there are great saints.

Another disciple also said: Those who are above are saints, and those below are scholars and gentlemen.

It can be seen that in Confucianism, the saint is the embodiment of the highest morality and ideal personality.

During his lifetime, Emperor Wenchang was a Confucian Wenzong of the Jiuzhou world. He was both a gentleman and a sage, and was not far from the realm of a saint.

Therefore, Emperor Wenchang always held himself to the standards of a saint.

Changing things accordingly is a matter of course.

What is contingency change?

Times have changed, but things are not easy.

This means that a Confucian scholar, gentleman, sage, or even saint with high morals and ideal personality should adjust his or her way of life in accordance with the changes of the times.

Putting it on Emperor Wenchang means that after being subordinate to Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun, he should take Tianzun's career as his career.

Not only must we actively complete the things assigned by Tianzun, but we must also exert our subjective initiative to "promote" Tianzun and the forces under Tianzun to do things that are beneficial to Tianzun.

It even "promotes" Tianzun's perspective to elevate, his thoughts to sublimate, and his pursuit of transformation.

This is the way to be a minister to others, and it is also the way to be a teacher to others.

The so-called emperor's teacher is a minister first and then a teacher.

Emperor Wenchang knew his way very well.

Just a candid exchange has promoted many changes.

The first is the establishment of overall goals.

A goal is a subjective assumption of the expected results of an activity. It is a subjective ideology formed in the mind. It is also the expected purpose of the activity and points out the direction for the activity.

It has the function of maintaining the relationship between all aspects of the organization and forming the core of the system's organizational direction.

A clear, lofty overall goal that is worthy of lifelong struggle and dedication, has an extremely important long-term motivational effect and continuous cohesion for a cause!

Under the words of Emperor Wenchang, Huang Tian based on the idea of ​​"he can replace him" that he was almost blind but still not completely wiped out, based on the characteristic that his personality can continue to jump, and based on Taiyi's priestly role of "unifying the sky and controlling the earth". A general goal was set for Taiyi’s cause of rescuing the sufferings of Tianzun and his subordinates:
"The sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand!"

Or to put it more mildly:
"Let go of the six-day old spirit and teach the three-day dharma!"

These two statements essentially point to the same thing, and they are one and two, and two and one.

The former is aimed at the general public, easy to understand, and suitable for widespread dissemination.

The latter is lofty and connotative, and mainly aims at the unification of the will of Tianzun's followers, disciples, and believers.

By the way, we will unite the propaganda and propaganda against the practicing sects, aristocratic families, casual cultivators, and small groups in this world and declare a traditional war.

After all, the so-called "six days of old energy" refers to:

"The ancient committee fights, the pure and simple are scattered. The three and five are out of line, and people and ghosts are in chaos. The old spirit of the six days is called the official. The combination of the hundred spirits and the ghosts of the five wounds, the dead generals of the defeated army, the dead soldiers of the rebellious army, male He is called the general, and the female is called the lady. He leads the army and travels around the world, doing good things and bringing good fortune to people. If you don't receive his blessings, you will suffer from them and die in vain."

It is completely in line with the general current situation in areas outside Luanzhou of the Daxuan Dynasty in this world.

Demons, devils, ghosts, monsters, and gods are raging, and the people at the bottom of the human race are in dire straits. Disasters like "not receiving their blessings, but suffering from them" occur all the time and everywhere.

The number of Li Shu and Guizhou heads who died in vain at the hands of demons, demons, ghosts, monsters and gods is truly incalculable!
In many places, the saying "there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild" is not an exaggeration.

From the time when Taiyi's thunder responded to the transformation of Tianzun, to the current Taiyi who rescued Tianzun from suffering, and then to the God of Huangtian who may appear in the future, what he has done is to kill demons and eliminate demons, rescue the suffering, cut down mountains and temples, and uproot obscenities. Sacrifice, reconcile yin and yang, and restore order.

This is not just a claim, it is a fact.

No room for doubt!
No one can question it!

Second is the name.

If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not smooth, the things will not be accomplished. If things are not accomplished, rituals and music will not flourish, and if rituals and music are not flourishing, punishment will not be adequate.

Whether it is the stage when Taiyi's thunder responds to the transformation of Tianzun, or the period when Taiyi rescues Tianzun, in the territory under Tianzun's command, no matter whether it is from the gods, the disciples, the believers, the common people, or the yamen, they actually don't know how to formally It is called "the forces under Tianzun's command".

Over time, everyone has acquiesced that the forces under Tianzun's command are the forces under Tianzun's command.

There is no formal title.

Or, no formal title is needed, just shout.

It looks like a grass-roots team.

Absurdity is everywhere.

After hearing the above comments from Emperor Wenchang, Huang Tian was very surprised.

Sure enough, you still need to read more to be a human being.

He didn't even think about such a simple truth, and so muddle-headedly performed Taiyi's Thunder-Responsive Heavenly Lord and Taiyi's Suffering Heavenly Lord, and even occupied the entire Luanzhou, which is also very strange. thing.

It is estimated that this is the only way to do this when encountering the Daxuan Dynasty in this world.

If it were to be in the world of Kyushu, in the territory of the Dayong Dynasty, let alone occupying a state, it might not even be possible to secure a county, and it would be brutally attacked by a hard iron fist.

"So, Tianzun, what name should we give to the so-called 'Tianzun's forces'?"

Emperor Wenchang's inquiry brought Huang Tian back to his senses and suppressed his shy mood.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Tian's eyes lit up and he had an idea. He said word by word: "Taiping Road."

"Peace Road?"

Emperor Wenchang repeated it.

There were some doubts at first, and then he was as happy as if he were drinking fine wine, and he said happily: "The country is prosperous, the society is stable, and the world is at peace! Good! Good! Good!"

After saying that, Emperor Wenchang still felt that he was not satisfied, so he simply shouted: "What a peaceful way!"

Huang Tian on the side couldn't quite understand why Emperor Wenchang was so excited after hearing the name "Taiping Dao".

At this time, Emperor Wenchang roared again, clearing Huang Tian's doubts: "What a way of peace for all generations!"

amount……

Huang Tian couldn't help but feel ashamed.

He has no intention of "creating peace for all generations", he is just picking up the wisdom of a great teacher.

After all, even the slogan "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand" was used, and the appropriationism was taken to the extreme, and the name "Taipingdao" was also used. I just don’t know whether Zhang Jiao, who proposed "the sky is dead, Huang Tian must stand" and asked the great man to die, and Zhang Ling and Zhang Fuhan, who proposed "the old spirit of the six days should be abolished", would jump out together after learning about this. Beat him up, the fake Taiyi Ku Tianzun, the overdrafted self-proclaimed Huangtian God!
For a moment, Emperor Wenchang roared excitedly, and Huang Tian's mind was filled with thoughts.

However, Huang Tian didn't think about it for long before Emperor Wenchang, who had regained his composure, continued to push forward the changes.

After the "overall goal" and "name", there is the ritual.

No rules no standards.

Religions without strict rituals can easily fall into chaos and go astray.

Huang Tian knew this in his previous life.

After all, Taoism in the previous life was filled with the crude and shallow features of primitive religion at first, and it was patchy and had many evil people and evil deeds.

It was Kou Qianzhi and Kou Tianshi who vigorously reformed, eliminated the waste and retained the essence, abolished false laws, rectified the organization, revised the precepts and rituals, and Taoism in the previous life took on a new look.

After many subsequent innovations and optimizations, a relatively strict and reasonable Taoist system was established.

But Huang Tian only understood the surface and didn't understand the inside.

Li Lingsu, the young goddess who is responsible for promoting the name of Tianzun and spreading Tianzun's faith, is limited by her background and lacks knowledge, lacks experience, and has no one to guide her. Therefore, she failed to establish a successful organization in time during the missionary process. The rituals of the system.

But now, Emperor Wenchang is here, and the rituals are in place.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are interlinked, and the three religions have always had the same ancestral style.

As a Confucian Wenzong of the Kyushu world during his lifetime, Emperor Wenchang had a deep understanding and knowledge of the Taoist rituals of the Kyushu world, which is a very reasonable thing.

So in less than a cup of tea, Emperor Wenchang came up with a complete set of plug-and-play religious rituals.

Including but not limited to fasting, altar offerings, and etiquette exercises.

Regarding the two parts of fasting and altar worship, Emperor Wenchang even came up with extremely detailed rituals.

With this complete set of rituals, the ceremony held by the young goddess Li Lingsu in the future to worship the Heavenly Lord will not appear too messy, too casual, or irregular.

It can't be majestic without being majestic.

I believe that from now on, the rituals of worshiping Taiyi to save suffering will not only not make people laugh, but will also make some people who observe in secret feel awe-inspiring.

After the ritual is established, the most important thing is the classics!
In the etiquette lessons given by Emperor Wenchang, there are actually many Taoist scriptures from the Kyushu world and scriptures from outside the world.

These scriptures cannot be said to be bad, they are even very good.

Taipingdao, which is about to be established, will definitely gain a lot by reciting these sutras from the gods, Lusheng, and believers. Practicing these sutras will definitely gain a lot.

But an organization must have a "classic" that describes the organization's programmatic ideas.

For example, the early existence of the "Manifesto", and the subsequent clarification of Marxism-Leninism and Maoist Thought!

Wait, wait, etc., the list goes on.

In this way, this organization can truly exist forever, remain new over time, and continue to retain vitality.

If the Taiyi God who saves suffering at this moment is really Taiyi who saves suffering, or just Taiyi who saves suffering, the "classics" of the soon-to-be-established Taiping Dao should be "Taiyi's Savior of Suffering" and "Taiyi's Sutra of Saving Suffering and Protecting the Body". "The Mystical Sutra of Explanation of Injustices in the Three Lives", "The Mystical Sutra of Taishang Cave Xuanling Bao to Save Suffering and Escape Sins", "The Mystical Sutra of Taiyi Saving Sufferings and Eradicating Sins by Tianzun Speaks of the Fengdu Blood Lake", "The Merciful Lord's Ascension to Dharma Repentance", " Taishang Qingxuan and Taiyi's Dharma Confessions for Saving Suffering and Eradicating Sins", "Taiyi's Treasured Confessions for Saving Suffering and Saving Sufferings", "Taiyi Qingxuan's Compassionate Confessions for Saving Sufferings", etc.

If the soon-to-be-established Taiping Dao is going to follow the Taiping Dao version of the great sage and mentor about which Huang Tian had some superficial knowledge, the "classic" should be the Taiping Jing.

The so-called "Taiping Jing", also called "Taiping Qingling Shu", involves heaven and earth, yin and yang, five elements, ten branches, disasters, gods, etc., and builds the early idea of ​​"unity of heaven and man";

It outlines an ideal social picture based on the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and proposes a set of governance techniques of "doing nothing but doing everything";

He proposed the techniques of self-cultivation for monastic believers;

He proposed the concept of retribution for good and evil in which property is shared and people can earn their own living, and pointed out that only when people believe in the correct way can they eliminate disasters and become immortals;
It also reflects the simple people-oriented thinking of egalitarianism and ideals of equality.

Compared with a series of scriptures related to Taiyi's rescue from suffering and Tianzun, such as "Taiyi's Miaojing of Saving Suffering and Protecting the Body", Huang Tian naturally prefers "Taiping Qingling Shu".

The problem is that although Huang Tian has read part of the content of "Taiping Qingling Book", he has not read it all, and he does not have the ability to remember things at that time.

Even if I dig deep into my memory now, I still can't fully reproduce "Taiping Qingling Book".

and many more……

While he was thinking this, Huang Tian suddenly discovered a blind spot.

Except for the marvelous texts that fell from the sky and emerged naturally, such as the Book of Heaven, most books in the world were written by humans.

This is true of the "Taiyi Sutra of Saving Suffering and Protecting the Body", and the same is true of "The Book of Taiping Qingling".

It makes no sense that other people can write books, but Huang Tian and Taiyi Jiuzhu Tianzun can't write books!
Even if his writing ability and academic accomplishments are lacking, isn't there an Emperor Wenchang who was a Confucian scholar in the world of Kyushu during his lifetime and who is now in charge of the literary movement?

What's more, today is not necessarily inferior to the past. Learning, knowledge, and thoughts are constantly developing, updating, and improving.

The content of "Taiping Qingling Book", whether it is the parts related to practice such as heaven and earth, yin and yang, five elements, ten branches, disasters, gods, etc., or the parts related to governance and people's livelihood such as social assumptions, governance and retribution of good and evil, etc. It can be considered unique and lofty.

Not much to say about the former, but about the latter...

Compared with Huang Tianzhen's manifesto, Mao Thought, etc., it seems very inadequate.

"The Six Classics annotate me, and I annotate the Six Classics."

With these words in his mind, Huang Tian made up his mind and knew what kind of book he should take as the "classic" of the Taiping Dao that was about to be established.

Based on the original "Taiping Qingling Shu", the "Taiyi Sutra of Saving Suffering and Protecting the Body" and other related scriptures about Taiyi's rescuing Tianzun were incorporated into it to form the form of "Tao Zang".

Regarding the contents of heaven and earth, yin and yang, five elements, ten branches, disasters, gods, etc., Emperor Wenchang compiled them with reference to the relevant classics of the Kyushu world and the world here.

The pictures are both complete and precise, trying to achieve two words: authoritative.

Huang Tian himself controls social assumptions, political programs, people's livelihood thoughts and other related contents.

How to do it specifically?
What he was thinking was, like the "Analysis" and "Report" at the beginning of the first volume of Selected Mao Thought,
Do a class survey to prove who is the enemy? Who are friends?
To truly understand the current situation of the Daxuan Dynasty, the urgency of revolution, how to organize and a series of other issues.

Go and tell the general public what kind of peaceful world Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun and Taiping Dao.

How to achieve it!

After hearing Huang Tian's thoughts, Emperor Wenchang was so shocked that he was speechless.

Even the first-grade divine edict began to shake, and the divine position seemed to be unstable.

What kind of thinking is this?

Whose idea is this?

He is actually more majestic than His Majesty Emperor Dayong! (End of chapter)
