Taiping Inn

The three religions are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

In "The Way of Heaven", Nanhua Daojun said: "The emptiness, quietness, tranquility, loneliness and inaction are the foundation of all things. Understand this is Nanxiang, Yao is the king; Understand this is the north, Shun is the minister. Understand this is the minister. The above is the virtue of the emperor and the emperor; the following is the way of the Xuansheng Su King. "The general meaning of this sentence is that governing without doing anything is the highest state, and treating God with this is the "Emperor and Emperor" with this. Treating the people is "Xuansheng Su King".

The so-called Xuansheng King Su is the one who values ​​himself, which is Laojun and Nifu. In other words, Xuansheng is the Supreme Taoist ancestor of "Laojun", King Su is the most sage teacher of "Nifu". In addition, Buddha, known as King Kong, happens to be the ancestor of the Three religions.

Later generations extended it to call it the recognized leader of the Three religions.

However, in recent hundreds of years, except for the Confucian scholars who can be respected as King Su, the Xuansheng of Taoism and the Kongwang of Buddhism are both empty.

As for Yan Shenggong, because of his bloodline, he is also respected as "King of Su", which means that the throne has been passed down from generation to generation, but it is not recognized by the world. There are many controversies within the Confucian school, and it is believed that Yan Shenggong has been Not worthy of the title of "King Su", only a few saints can be respected as "King Su". Therefore, many times, people in the world more compare the Confucian sect Yan Shenggong as the great master of the Taoist sect.

This arises a question.

Li Xuandu asked, "Who do you mean by this Su King of the Origin? Is it Yan Shenggong or the saint of the Heart Scholar?"

Li Ruxiu hesitated and said, "Reporting to the sect leader, my subordinates are not very sure. Because this matter was learned by chance. The old sect leader sent his subordinates to sneak into the sage mansion, replaced the identity of a sage mansion to give birth to a child, and was arranged to be in the old lady. I was a maid next to me. After those Confucians came to the saint's mansion, they also paid special visits to the grandma, and I learned about this. "

There are countless ways to replace others in the Taoist sect, such as what Zhang Lianhua once planned to use.

Li Feiyan said, "I know that the grand lady in the Saint's Mansion is an extremely powerful figure. She also had a great reputation when she was young. She was the head of the Saint's Mansion. She also had a holiday with her sister. She also competed with her senior brother because of this. After a while, although he failed to beat his senior brother, he also caused a lot of trouble for him. The senior brother took a lot of effort to calm the matter down, but there has been no movement in recent decades."

This was the first time Li Xuandu heard about this, and he couldn't help but ask, "The lady in this saint's mansion is not a immortal master, right?"

"That won't be." Li Feiyan's memory is particularly clear because of the holidays that year. "Sometimes, men cannot support their own houses, so their daughter-in-law is the one who was the mansion of the saint back then. Although she was trapped in the Confucian school, she was trapped in the Confucian school. Etiquette and law cannot be used at will, but their skills are really powerful. With the signs of the saint's mansion, we have friendship with many famous scholars and scholars. In order to put pressure on our senior brothers, we invited many people to come to Qizhou to fight with our senior brothers."

Li Xuan became more and more curious and asked again: "This lady's family is very powerful?"

"That's not to mention. This person's surname is Jiang and he calls him Mrs. Jiang. The Jiang family can only be said to be a scholarly family that was passed down from the family through Geng and Reading, but it's not to mention a wealthy family." Li Feiyan shook his head and said, "But there are rumors that she has something to do with the saint of Xinxue. I don't know if she was listening to the saint of Xinxue, or a formal disciple of the saint of Xinxue."

"It's a saint of mind again." Li Xuandu said with his forehead, "I feel that half of the remaining foundations of the Confucian Sect are left by this contemporary Su King. Without this saint, the Taoist Sect would not be so difficult. ”

Li Feiyan smiled and said, "After all, he is one of the four great saints of Confucianism, besides Yuan Sheng, and the master of the study of mind."

It is reasonable for young people like Li Xuan to know these old past events. The reason why Xu Wugui, Zhang Jingxiu, Li Daoxu and others are well known is that in addition to their great reputation, the key is that these Over the years, they have always had a sense of existence. Many major events were either from their hands or had a deep relationship with them. However, other elderly people will quickly withdraw from the world's vision after not participating in the affairs of the world or the temple. , forgotten by the world.

Li Xuan didn't ask any more questions and fell into deep thought.

However, the old people like Li Daoxu and Li Feiyan have not forgotten them yet. Otherwise, the master would not have specially placed secret scholars in the saint's mansion, perhaps just for future arrangements.

According to Li Feiyan, for some reason, the master's wife had a holiday with Mrs. Jiang, the mistress of the saint's mansion. Judging from Li Feiyan's attitude and the word "celebration of festivals", there is no deep hatred, it should be a conflict between women. After all, Qizhou is so big, the King of Qi has no princess, and the so-called Sheji Academy also has it. There is no woman, even if there is a wife each in Qingweizong and the saint's residence, it is reasonable that these two wives have a conflict.

However, this conflict developed into a conflict between the Qingwei Sect and the saint's mansion, which even caused his master Li Daoxu to end in person. With Li Xuan's understanding of his master, since he came forward in person, it was not a dispute or face. The dispute is the struggle between the two sides for dominance in Qizhou, or the Qing Weizong's temptation of the saint's mansion. However, judging from the later results, the Confucian Party strongly rushed to the saint's mansion, forcing the Qing Weizong to retreat and unable to He reached into the inland of Qizhou, but the saint's mansion was unable to pursue it. The prefectures on the East China Sea and the coastal lines were still the world of Qingweizong.

Although Li Xuandu had no interaction with his master's wife, judging from others' descriptions, his master's wife is actually a kind person, so the conflict between the two wives may also be a testimony led by Qingwei Sect, or an introduction. However, Li Feiyan was not very old at that time and had not yet entered the decision-making level of Qingwei Clan, so I don’t know the inside story. In terms of generation, Li Feiyan is a peer of Li Daoxu, but in terms of age, Li Feiyan is not much different from Situ Xuance.

In fact, these things should have been clearly recorded in Li Daoxu's study and in the relevant archives of Qingweizong. However, Li Xuan had taken over the power of Qingweizong for too short and had no time to read these old files. , and because these files are extremely confidential, they are destined to be unable to be handed over to others for management, and they can only be reviewed by the sect leader or the deputy sect leader himself.

Li Xuan came to his senses and asked, "When is it now?"

Lu Yanbing was a newcomer. He immediately took out a fashionable pocket watch from his arms, opened the cover and took a look, and replied, "It's already the end of Si Shi."

Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, and Wu, after Si, it is Wu.

Li Xuandu said, "It's noon soon. It's a big deal to worship ancestors, and it's impossible to delay. So, Bingyan took Ruxiu to wash up, change her clothes, and follow us to worship ancestors first, and then discuss slowly. ”

Lu Yanbing responded and turned to Li Ruxiu and said, "Please follow me."

"Okay." Li Ruxiu stood up and followed Lu Yanbing to leave Li Xuandu's study.

Li Feiyan asked, "Zi Mansion, what should the people from the saint's mansion deal with?"

Li Xuandu said: "It's just a matter of time to meet the saint's mansion. Now that we have reached this point, there is nothing to say. Let's detain these people in the Li family's ancestral home. When I return to Qingwei Sect, He also took it to Qingwei Sect and handed it over to Tiangang Hall for supervision."

Because of his sister, Li Feiyan had no good impression of the saint's mansion. She could be regarded as the main war faction in the Qingwei Sect. When he heard Li Xuan say this, he had no objection. He nodded and stood up and left. .

Only Li Xuandu and Qin Su were left in the study. Qin Su remained silent for the moment, and only then did he speak: "Are you planning to attack the saint's mansion?"

Li Xuandu looked at the chess game between the two: "This is a inevitable thing. I told you that the earth master gave me the robe and bowl, which was equivalent to opening up a path for me, so I was able to vigorously develop the inn. You can turn the world in the imperial capital, or even change the day. But you also know that just in an imperial capital, this kind of change in the palace coup can only seize power, but cannot change the world, nor can you seek peace. It is a last resort to choose this path."

"But my master handed over Qingwei Sect to me and opened up another path for me. I could manage Qizhou and thus form a siege of the imperial capital with my father-in-law. This is the upright way to gain the country."

"So I changed my original decision, not to decide the victory or defeat with the Confucian Sect in the Imperial Capital, but to put it on a broader battlefield. If you want to manage Qizhou, there are two major problems. One is the Sheji Academy. One problem is the saint's mansion. This is not only the reason why the master failed to fully control Qizhou, but also the reason why no one came out to top Qingyang Sect when Qingyang Sect was rampant in Qizhou, because neither side felt that they were Qizhou The master of the matter is nothing to do with him."

"According to my original plan, I want to solve the problem of the Soji Academy first, and then solve the saint's mansion. Even because of some luck, if the saint's mansion has no action, I will not have a head-on conflict with it, so I can stay for it. To deal with it for my father-in-law. But now it seems that luck is indeed a luxury. The Confucians have already begun to contact the saint's mansion in secret, and the saint's mansion also understands the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. They respond very positively to the Confucians, so I have to face the saint. Mansion.”

"The key now is that I have already started to attack the Soji Academy in the Qingqiu Cave Heaven. Now that I will provoke the saint's mansion, I will fight against two, which is not in line with my expectations. But this is reasonable. Everything is in my expectation, then there is nothing difficult in this world."

This is a heart-to-heart talk without any reservations. Only when facing Qin Su can Li Xuan be so calm.

After hearing what Li Xuandu said, Qin Su nodded and said, "I understand, what's next?"

Li Xuandu said: "I will transfer Shangguan Guan's Yin-Yang Sect and some inn forces to Qizhou. In addition, the Qi Wang Mansion of Qingwei Sect and Donghua Sect Xu Da will not be weaker than the Sheji Academy and the Saint Mansion. Join forces. The Governor's Office is also in Beihai Prefecture. When the ancestor worship is over, we can visit the Lord Xiabutang."
