The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 159 The First Great Teaching
Zhao Huan looked at this man who was a few years older than himself, and the shock on his face could be seen at a glance.

"Your Majesty, why are you curious about the poor?" Liang Fengying stood in front of Zhao Huan, looking calm and breezy.

Zhao Huan rubbed his nose and smiled, and said to Liang Fengying: "I am indeed a little surprised at the age of the Taoist priest, it is really too young."

In Zhao Huan's impression, these Taoist priests who have attained the Tao are not all grey-haired and very old. Why is the Taoist priest in front of him so young and looks very handsome?

Liang Fengying smiled inscrutablely, and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, to be honest, Pindao has reached the age of forty this year."

Zhao Huan was really shocked that this young man who looked about his own age was already 40 years old. Liang Fengying took care of herself really well.

"Liang Daochang looks very young." Zhao Huan said with a compliment.

"Our Taoist school pays attention to no desire, no need, and universal salvation. If your Majesty can do this, you can also be like a poor Taoist, with a healthy body and a long life." Liang Fengying said to Zhao Huan.

"Longevity?" Zhao Huan thought that immortality has always been the lifelong pursuit of the emperors in history, but as a traveler of later generations, Zhao Huan understood that immortality is impossible, so he put it aside. He waved his hands and said: "I don't want to live a hundred years. People are mortal. I just hope that after my death, when people comment on it, they won't point to my tablet and scold me."

Liang Fengying did not expect Zhao Huan to be so open-minded. In fact, as the head of the Taoist generation, Liang Fengying often traveled around, and he was a guest of many dignitaries, just like Li Shunqian from Xixia, who met Liang Fengying After that, she was also surprised, especially when she knew that Liang Fengying was 40 years old, she wanted to worship Liang Fengying as a fairy teacher and teach him the method of longevity.

After all, immortality is a hurdle that every generation of emperors cannot overcome. Power brings endless greed to people, and they want to firmly grasp this right in their own hands.

"Although your Majesty has just been crowned the Great Treasure, you have a clear view of life, and I admire you poorly." Liang Fengying still looked calm and breezy, and the expression on his face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, as if there was nothing to worry about. Let his mood change generally.

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "Daoist Liang, don't put a high hat on me here. I believe Zhang Yu has already told you the purpose of my calling you this time. Let's get straight to the point. I am going to develop your Taoism." become the number one teaching."

There was no change in the expression on Liang Fengying's face, and she said: "Your Majesty, Taoism emphasizes innocence and asceticism. As for the false name of this first great religion, everything is just a passing cloud."

Zhao Huan stared at Liang Fengying in front of him, the result of the conversation was somewhat beyond Zhao Huan's expectation, he wanted to see from Liang Fengying's face, whether this was his real thought, or was he deliberately exaggerating.

"Daoist Liang, let me tell you a story." Zhao Huan stared at Liang Fengying in front of him, trying to see his true thoughts from his face.

Liang Fengying sat up straight, as if listening attentively to the lecture.

"To the west of us, as far as the sea to the west, there is a country called the Fatima Dynasty. In their country, people believe in a religion called Christianity; further north, There is a country called the Holy Roman Empire. In their country, people believe in a religion called Christianity. You may not have heard of it in such a distant place. Speaking of a closer place, you should also know the Buddhism in the south of Tubo. Do you know?" Zhao Huan said lightly.

Liang Fengying looked at Zhao Huan in front of him. He had never heard of the two Christianity and Christianity he mentioned earlier, but Liang Fengying was very clear about Buddhism. Now there are many Buddhist temples in the entire Central Plains, including Shaolin Temple The incense of Taoism is no less than that of Taoism.

"Your Majesty said that the poor Taoists in Buddhism are clear, and the abbot of the Luo family in Shaolin Temple is still a good friend of the poor Taoists." Liang Fengying replied.

Zhao Huan nodded and said: "Since Buddhism was introduced to our dynasty, it has taken root and sprouted immediately, and absorbed a large number of original Taoist followers. I dare to conclude that Buddhism will definitely replace Taoism in the future and become the number one religion in my dynasty. .”

Liang Fengying's eyes changed slightly. This change was very small, and it was difficult for ordinary people to notice it. However, Zhao Huan's mental strength was much higher than that of ordinary people, so Liang Fengying's change was still captured by him.

"I thought you really had no desires and no desires." Zhao Huan couldn't help but slander in his heart, everyone has weaknesses, it depends on whether you can find this weakness, although Taoism emphasizes no desires and no desires , but as the head of a sect, he has a responsibility, and this responsibility is his weakness.

"The reincarnation of heaven and retribution is not good. Who can say for sure about the future." Liang Fengying continued.

"I don't believe in the way of heaven, I am the Son of Heaven, and my way is the way of heaven!" Zhao Huan said suddenly, the momentum around him changed at this time, and a domineering aura emanated from him , This is the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Liang Fengying looked at Zhao Huan in front of him, subconsciously lowered her head, couldn't help shaking her head and said with a wry smile: "What your majesty said is absolutely true, your majesty's way is the way of heaven."

"I don't like beating around the bush. Let me tell you this, I want you to spread branches of Taoism all over the world and become the number one religion." Zhao Huan said to Liang Fengying.

The development of religion is inseparable from the support of the imperial court. In the final analysis, the imperial court will allow the existence of religion only if it serves the imperial court. However, Liang Fengying also knows that religion cannot get too close to the imperial court, otherwise it will become a doll in the hands of the imperial court. , lost the true colors of Taoism.

Liang Fengying smiled wryly. He knew that what Zhao Huan said to him just now was an ultimatum. Although Zhao Huan didn't say much, there are some things that don't need to be explained too clearly.

If he promises, Zhao Huan will help him become the number one religion he has ever done and spread Taoism all over the world.

If you don’t agree, Taoism will be labeled as a cult at that time. It is estimated that Taoism will become famous in this land. During the Warring States period, a hundred schools of thought contended. Up to now, there are very few surviving schools of thought.

Liang Fengying took a deep breath, finally settled her attention, and said, "What does Your Majesty want the poor to do?"
