Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1565 Qingyang Temple

   Qingyang Si.

   It's not a restaurant, but a Taoist palace. Or call it Taoism.

   Fei Qian wanted to say that he would go to this Qingyang restaurant, let alone a Taoist temple, even if he really went to the restaurant, Liu Bei could only accompany him, but he still murmured in his heart, thinking about Fei Qian's intentions.

  Qingyangsi is not big, it is said that it was built in the Zhou Dynasty, but there was no major development, and it was not until later generations that it slowly expanded and became a famous Taoist temple.

  It’s interesting to say that many Chinese people don’t know the difference between “temple, temple, temple, and nunnery” and don’t know the specific differences, but in fact these places are different.

  China has temples first, but this temple is not Buddhist, but it is used for ancestor worship, and it can also worship gods, just like Taizu Temple Gaozong Temple and so on. For ordinary people, it is called a shrine.

   Ersi, originally a Tongjia character, is a servant. Buddhism was originally a foreign sect. At the beginning of China, it lived in the Honglu Temple to entertain foreign guests. Although it built a separate residence later, it was also named "Temple". This is the origin of Buddhism called "Temple".

  'an, originally a grass name, called Anlu, which can be used to build houses when grown up and elders. Originally, when monks practiced hard, they would often build houses in secluded places, and they often used huts to become a small thatched hut. After a long time, they called these small houses "nunnery". The place of ascetic practice, and in ancient times, nuns often wore colored glasses, so they wanted to be more clean, so they were often called nunnery, and monks were often called temples.

  Does Taoism call Guan? It began with King Zhou. "King Mu of Zhou was a good god, so he called Yin Gui, and Du Zhong lived in Zhongnan Mountain. Yin Zhenren's thatched house was named temple because of its name, so it was named temple for the place where gods were worshiped." At the very beginning of Taoism, many emperors asked the family members what the gods liked, and the Taoists said that the gods like tall buildings and towers, so the emperor also built many towers and grand sights to welcome the gods, praying for longevity, It is the origin of Taoism's name for envoys to hold festivals and set up tools to wait for immortals.

  Fei Qian arrived in the Han Dynasty, and found that Taoism in the Han Dynasty was very chaotic, not systematic at all, and had no central idea, not even a unified worship of gods. This is the fundamental reason why Fei Qian was able to fool Zuo Ci.

  The first wave of Taoist people can be said to be a group of young experts who are deadly.

  Taoism was the state religion at the beginning, and it was supreme. Even the Duke of Zhou engaged in gossip about the Book of Changes. At that time, apart from Taoism, there was really no other religion that could fight...

  The establishment of Taoism did not have an obvious period of creation. Its prehistoric period was very long, and the activities of creation were scattered and slow. Generally speaking, all advocates of Taoism, Huang-Lao School and Immortal Alchemy can be regarded as the predecessors of Taoism.

   It is precisely because of such dispersion that Taoism did not have a unified caliber at the beginning, which resulted in a very severe dispersion of beliefs. This was a very fatal problem in ancient times when the population base was small.

In addition, Taoism serves Laozi as the founder of Taoism, but the problem is that the Han Dynasty is not far from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even some big families may still have Laozi’s used items and written letters in their homes, like Confucius' clogs were also once treasured in the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, such a short distance is not enough to produce much beauty.

The most important thing is that when Taoism had no opponents at the beginning, it indulged itself, drifted away, and didn't know what to do, to study pure morality, to mix with Confucianism and Legalism, to go to the mountains to make alchemy, to go to the sea to find immortals Those who pray for rain, those who pray for survival, those who pray for yin and yang, those who pray for prophecy, and even doctors originally come from Taoism...

Then, in order to compete for the emperor and some production values ​​​​that were not very rich in ancient society, the characters in Taoism themselves competed with each other, holding out a **** who was higher than the other to suppress their teammates, and finally built a **** that would be perfect even if a **** descended to earth. Do not come back to the extremely complicated system.

  So, it crashed.

   Confucianism smiled and walked out of the shadow of Taoism, and then he didn't give any other sects a chance...

  Hearing that General Fei Qian of Zhengxi is coming, Zuo Ci comes out to greet him with trepidation.

Zuo Ci was originally in Hanzhong, but after Liu Dan died (yes, this guy finally cultivated the golden elixir and got the Dao), firstly, he wanted to report this matter to Fei Qian, and secondly, the situation in Hanzhong was basically stable. There is no need for Zuo Ci to continue to sit in the town, and Sichuan and Shuzhong have just been won, and the beliefs of the surrounding ethnic minorities are also very chaotic, so a super magician like Zuo Ci is needed, bah, the immortal Youdao came to sit in the town, Therefore, Fei Qian left Zuo Ci in the Qingyang Restaurant, and dispatched a team of craftsmen to renovate and expand the Qingyang Restaurant.

  Because Zuo Ci's buttocks were indeed bouncing a bit more, and then Liu Bei who was on the side noticed it, and couldn't help but look at Zuo Ci in surprise, and then at Fei Qian.

  In the past two days, Liu Bei has indeed opened his eyes a lot, but it is also very uncomfortable to keep his face silent.

  Fei Qian ignored Liu Bei, walked forward, looked at the statue being re-sculpted in the main hall, and said, "How? How long will this statue last?"

  Zuo Ci hurriedly said from the side: "It is estimated that it will take another three months..."

   "Well, be careful, don't make mistakes, and don't worry..." Fei Qian nodded, and said to Zuo Ci, "Remember to be more friendly in appearance... I don't know what kindness is? Well, like him..."

   Fei Qian pointed at Liu Bei.

   Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously smiled.

Zuo Ci's eyes stayed on Liu Bei's face for a moment, he couldn't help but nodded, and then he said to Fei Qian quickly: "Well, general, don't you need... really don't need that or something..." Zuo Ci winked, his white eyebrows twitched as he spoke, There are some bones of air, but at this moment he looks more like an old hooligan.

  Fei Qian knew what Zuo Ci meant. Zuo Ci had suggested before that he could slightly adjust the face of the statue towards Fei Qian's appearance, which was tantamount to creating momentum for Fei Qian.

   Fei Qian shook his head.

  Zuo Ci saw Fei Qian's attitude was positive, so he didn't say any more, and regained his appearance of an expert, shook the whisk, and invited Fei Qian to drink tea in the back hall.

  Liu Bei went in without knowing it, but still kept pace, followed Fei Qian into the quiet room behind Qingyang Si, and sat down.

Zuo Ci had good eyesight, and knew that Fei Qian was here today, not the main character, so he took a little time to report to Fei Qian about the progress of the Qingyang Temple, then found an excuse, retreated, and passed the time to Fei Qian. And the space was left to Fei Qian and Liu Bei.

   Fei Qian picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and nodded. Because of Feiqian's habit of drinking tea, many people in Zhengxi changed their original dark cooking mode and became popular. The cooking of tea soup in the Han Dynasty is really a mysterious addition. You can grab a handful of soil from the ground and add it. I really don’t know if it’s tea or...

  Like the tea soup served by Zuo Ci now, the soup is relatively clear, just add two or three red dates.

   "Xuande, what is Tao?" Fei Qian put down his tea bowl and said slowly.

   Liu Bei was taken aback. Such a big topic, hit it with a bang, who can handle it? However, Liu Bei is Liu Bei after all, and there is no shortage of words. After pondering for a while, he said: "The Taoist is the principle of heaven and earth..."

  Fei Qian chuckled and asked, "What is the principle of heaven and earth?"

  Liu Bei shook his beard, "Everything in the world has a way."

  Fei sneaked a glance at Liu Bei. Yes, Liu Daer, who has a level, made a closed loop with two sentences.

  But Fei Qian did not let go of this topic, but said: "If you talk about the way of gods, I don't know. But when you talk about the way of civil affairs, in my opinion, the way is like a lamb..."

   "Huh?" Liu Bei didn't react.

Fei Qian muttered slowly: "This place is called Qingyang... The skin of the lamb is made of plain silk and five grains; if the food is returned from the public, it is entrusted to the snake and the snake. The leather of the lamb is made of plain silk and five grains; The seam of the lamb, the five generals of Susi; submissive to submissive, withdraw food from the public...Does Xuande think so?"

   Liu Bei's brain started spinning crazily. Although Liu Bei is not a great Confucianist, the few words Fei Qian said are sentences in the Book of Songs, and the Book of Songs among the gentry children of the Han Dynasty can be said to exist like enlightenment books, starting from the second or third year of elementary school. The multiplication and division tables memorized are the foundation of the foundation, so it is impossible for Liu Bei to not know these few words, but it still takes a lot of brainpower to figure out the intention of General Fei Qian from these few words .

   This poem belongs to the Zhou Dynasty. National style, Zhaonan. Lamb's poem is about the officials under Mr. Zhao.

   Zhou Zhaogong, some people say he is the concubine of King Wen, and some say he is not, but regardless of whether he is or not, Zhou Zhaogong has experienced three generations of Zhou kings, and he can be regarded as a famous minister of the Zhou Dynasty. After Zhaogong, the Zhou Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.

  The Zhou Dynasty was founded by Wen and Wu, and Cheng and Kang prospered. It is said in history that criminal measures were not used for forty years. This can be called the golden age of the Zhou Dynasty. After Zhao and Mu, the country gradually declined. Later, King Li was expelled, King You was killed, and King Ping moved eastward, entering the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

  For this poem, the official meaning of the Han Dynasty is the main praise, but Liu Bei knows that the meaning of Fei Qian does not simply refer to the poem itself.

  Poetry is not complicated, it can be summed up in one thing, eight characters, officials get off work, go home for dinner.

  So, General Fei Qian, General Zhengxi, what is this poem trying to explain?

  Let me go home for dinner?

   Or is he comparing himself to Zhao Gong?

   Or does it mean to be like a lamb under him?

   Or am I just looking superficial, but actually hungry?

  …

  For a while, Liu Bei fell into the long exam and couldn't extricate himself.

   Feiqian drank the tea soup quietly, without saying a word.

  Outside the quiet room, one can faintly hear craftsmen and laborers carrying and hoisting wooden pillars and masonry, and there are also some Taoist priests chanting the Tao Te Ching...

   Not long after, Feiqian drank half of a bowl of tea, Liu Bei sighed, cupped his hands and said: "Bei is stupid, I can't understand it, please enlighten me..."

"I can't, but I don't want to..." Fei Qian laughed twice, without forcing, and said, "Among the thousands of lambs, whoever looks up at the sky and the earth occasionally is the head sheep, the head sheep, the lamb. What follows...if the head sheep can observe the changes of the sky and the earth, and observe the thickness of the terrain, it can avoid danger, walk in peace, and get rich and beautiful, if it is..."

Fei Qian paused for a moment, and then continued to speak leisurely, "All peoples are lambs, so there are shepherds. Thousands of officials are lambs, so there are princes. Hundreds of officials are lambs, so there is a king... Xuande has great ambitions, and his heart is for the world. People, don’t you know if you want to be a shepherd, a public, or a king? Can you be a shepherd, a public, or a king?”

   "This..." Liu Bei glanced at Fei Qian, then quickly turned his eyes away, not daring to look at each other.

   Sometimes the **** determines the head, and there is really nothing wrong with that. If ordinary people talk to Liu Bei like this, even if Liu Bei is smiling, Zhang Fei on the side has already slapped his ears, and he can instantly let him know what hanging on the wall is. But the problem is that even if Fei Qian's current identity is not mentioned, just because Fei Qian took Liu Bei to watch all the way for so many days, and then said such words, it has a different flavor.

In fact, Liu Bei didn't read many books, and he didn't have relevant political knowledge. From his history, he made a mess after entering Sichuan. Brother Zhu spent ten years of grinding before it was smoothed out. It can be seen that Liu Bei's points in civil affairs are basically the same. It has been added to the function tree of personnel and personnel. As for the people's livelihood and economy, it is basically equal to zero.

Some time ago, Feiqian showed Liu Bei how to manage the army. With three or two blows, Liu Bei's original soldiers were dismantled, and the most important thing was that they didn't show any fireworks. These soldiers were as good as lambs. , bleating and ran away...

In the first two days, Fei Qian showed how to balance and dispatch these big families in Sichuan and Shu, promoted and recruited a large number of officials, and almost quickly and effectively filled the vacancy behind Liu Bei, Wu Yi and others. , and the key is that these people are from Dongzhou, Bashu, and Jingxiang, and they can be completely integrated into one place, and they are also happily bleating all the way with Fei Qian...

Today, at Liu Zhang's place, the golden seal that was thrown out still makes Liu Bei's eyes warm and his heart beating. Killing and snatching, also showed a super balance ability, not only wiped out the previous Liu Bei's hands, but even won over a group of hard-headed people who followed Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, and they were also convinced to bleat …

   This is the lamb.

   This is Mu.

  Of course, General Zhengxi may have other meanings when he said this lamb, but just those things and projects before have made Liu Bei wonder if he has lived in the belly of a dog all these years?

Different from Cao Cao and Cao Mengde's feeling of being stared at by a poisonous snake all the time, Liu Bei feels that Feiqian seems to be able to let go of everything here and let go of learning, but the more you look at it, the more you think about it, the more you feel it. The things and principles in it are vast and boundless...

  Liu Bei was speechless for a long time, and didn't know what to say. The things he was proud of before seem to be unable to show up in front of Zhengxi now, why not tell Zhengxi that he is several years older than Zhengxi, and has several more wives?

  Fei Qian looked at Liu Bei, the same rice feeds thousands of people, different people have different ways, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, in the final analysis, are still knight-errants who came up from the bottom...

"If it's not clear yet, I don't know where it is..." Fei Qian pointed to the quiet room, and then stood up, "This place is quiet and close to the gods, but it is a place for meditation... Xuande might as well stay here for three days Afterwards, when someone comes to pick up Xuande again, it's..."
